So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The next day, early morning.

In Gui Xiao Pavilion, Mu Zhian opened his eyes from a tired sleep and tried to move his arms, but there was no big obstacle.

After taking a look at the layout of the surrounding environment, the ancient coffin obtained from the abyss was still stored in the attic. The pure world vines that filled the sky last night were completely invisible at this moment.

There are all kinds of weird props hanging on the walls.

"It seems like I'm not locked up in a dark room. Fortunately..." Mu Zhian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Yao Meng looked displeased yesterday, he was still very rational...at least he didn't stuff an indescribable ball into him, but just chatted with him carefully for a while.

"Are you finally awake? I thought I went too far last night."

A soft voice like the sound of a fairy came from not far away.

Yao Meng.

Mu Zhian looked slightly sideways. She was sitting on the square table next to the bed. The candlelight lit up the entire cabin, giving her fair skin a warm glow.

Mu Zhi'an glanced at her several times, and the perfect arc that her butt made on the square table.

"Are you not angry anymore?" Mu Zhian asked.

When I said this, I sighed with regret.

I thought Yao Meng would do something after being controlled by the Pure World Vine last night, but it turned out that the Pure World Vine was absorbing his spiritual energy, while Yao Meng was sitting on the bed beside him, chatting with him and watching the show.

Are you playing an inch-stop game with me...

"If I were really angry, I wouldn't be sitting here chatting with you right now."

Yao Meng glanced at him: "It's not like I don't know about the Tiantian Furnace. If you had practiced dual cultivation with Luo Tan once, you would no longer be refining the sixth level of God, but refining God and returning to the void."

Mu Zhian was shocked. He held the bed with one hand and sat up: "Is the natural furnace cauldron really so exaggerated? The spiritual energy of the natural furnace cauldron I gave to others, ahem... the spiritual energy of the natural furnace cauldron I gave to you seems to have never been so exaggerated."

"The Tiantian Furnace's own physique is actually not that strong, and it can't increase the strength of others much."

Yao Meng swayed the crystal jade feet under her green skirt and said calmly: "Under normal circumstances, a monk cannot help another monk practice no matter what. Even if he activates some secret methods that can give other people spiritual energy, they can give other people spiritual energy. It’s also very limited.”

"But the natural furnace cauldron is an exception...especially the natural furnace cauldron in the Hedao realm."

"If it is your first time to practice dual cultivation with a natural furnace cauldron in the Hedao realm, and get the spiritual energy she gives you plus a wisp of her blood essence, the spiritual energy you can get will be to an extremely exaggerated level."

It seems that Luo Tan didn't lie to me. If I practice double cultivation with her once, I can really refine the spirit and return to the void... Mu Zhi'an thought to himself.

Assuming that I enter the Return to the Void Realm early in the future and practice dual cultivation with her, I will probably be able to increase my level by two to three levels, because she is a natural furnace of the Hedao Realm...

Yao Meng raised her snow-white chin slightly and said calmly: "But in the world today, the only natural furnace cauldron in the Hedao realm is Luo Tan."

"Although you are also born with a furnace, she would never notice you even if she thought about it."

However, not only did she notice me, but she also coveted my body... Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "After all, I am only in the realm of refining gods, so it is not obvious how much blessing the natural furnace cauldron has."

It is true that his natural furnace cauldron will not have much blessing effect on Luo Tan at the moment, but Yao Meng obviously did not expect that the Medicine King would choose Mu Zhian when he was still in the God Refining Realm.

"Wait... Since it wasn't because of Luo Tan, why did you tie me up last night?" Mu Zhian suddenly noticed a blind spot.

Yao Meng's crystal jade fingers were entangled with a strand of green silk, and she said lightly: "You left me in Yaochi without saying a word, but you rode a dragon bird to accompany your little girlfriend to Liangyi Sect. Can't I still be a little kid?" Are you going to lose your temper?"

At that time, she was immersed in the relief and joy that she was expected to break through to the Hedao realm. She was about to leave the heaven to share the joy with Mu Zhian, but when she opened her eyes... no one was there.

Mu Zhian said sincerely: "You were meditating in seclusion at that time, Ruoxi came all the way, and I also needed to participate in the alchemy competition, so I had to leave."

"I know, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here talking to me right now."

Yao Meng stared at Mu Zhian with her beautiful green eyes, her eyes full of sultry charm: "Bai Ruoxi is your Taoist companion. Since she wants to see you, naturally I can't say anything."

Mu Zhian's silence is golden, and he said in his heart that you said so. If I really said that I wanted to pick Ruoxi up to Yaochi to accompany me, the Purifying Vine would probably appear again at this moment.

"Don't you want to get married?" Yao Meng suddenly asked.

Mu Zhian: "..."

When it came to this matter, he was actually quite conflicted. If he said he was disgusted with this big wedding, it would not be wrong. After all, just imagine that after the wedding, Yao Meng was wearing a fiery red phoenix crown and Xia Pei, which has a skin bonus...

Yao Meng suddenly said with a smile: "Actually, this marriage may not be possible yet."

Mu Zhian was slightly startled: "Didn't you say yesterday..."

Yao Meng suddenly stood up and hung in the air. His tall and graceful figure was looming in the hazy fairy mist. He looked at Mu Zhian playfully: "I'm just joking with you. I'm not Concubine Shang Yan. How could I even do this after this?" Deducing everything that can happen?”

"But no matter whether we can get married successfully or not this time, at least we can clean up the rats that are ready to move around."

She said to herself: "Actually, I don't care very much whether I can ascend and ascend, but if I can take this opportunity to seize the handle of the Southern Wilderness and the Western Region, I can kill the people involved one by one after I ascend. Find it out."

"The person involved in the original incident?"

Mu Zhian seemed to have thought of something and asked, "You mean the person who secretly caused a stumbling block when you joined the Tao?"

Yao Meng shook his head and said: "Not only did he cause trouble for me, but he was also one of the masterminds that caused you to almost die in Yaochi."

Mu Zhian's heart moved slightly. No wonder Yao Meng would hold this wedding to eliminate internal troubles.

Feathering and ascending was just a reason, the more important reason was that she was looking for an excuse to feather and ascend.

As long as someone really interfered secretly when she was ascending, she could settle her old and new grudges openly and openly afterwards.

"If there is a war between Hedao, I'm afraid Dongzhou will also be in chaos." Mu Zhian said softly.

Yao Meng said calmly: "After becoming an ascension, your strength will not increase much, but you will be able to escape from the rules of heaven and earth, and will not be affected by the shackles of heaven and earth, and you will be able to exert your true power."

"If they become feathers, I'm sure to suppress them."

She suddenly chuckled: "As for the chaos in Dongzhou, she will tell the truth."

"As for me..."

Yao Meng paused and stared into his eyes silently: "Just be responsible for removing the obstacles in front of you."

Mu Zhian was silent for a long time before he said, "Thank you."

"Are you so confident in the sect master?" He asked again.

He didn't know who the 'she' Yao Meng was talking about was, but he immediately felt that she was the sect leader.

"What do you think is the reason why the spiritual dragon was not affected by the rules of heaven and earth that day, and allowed its words to affect the entire Southern Wilderness?"

Mu Zhian hesitated and said: "You mean that the sect master protected Sister Lin Ling at that time and blocked the rules of heaven and earth?"

Yao Meng stretched out his hand and caressed Mu Zhian's face, with innocence and charm intertwined in his eyes: "Concubine Shang Yan may not have ascended to heaven, but she is definitely not within the rules of heaven and earth."

Mu Zhian said to himself: "In other words, the biggest difference between Yuhua and Hedao is that the Yuhua state is not within the rules of heaven and earth, so you can use your own power without restrictions."

"If this is the case, if Sister Mengrou reaches the Hedao realm in the future, won't she directly have the strength of the Feathering realm...?"

Yao Meng said lightly: "Maybe."

"The relatives and friends around me in the past have long been lost in time, so whether it's the Southern Wilderness or the Western Region, I don't want to see the people around me hurt anymore."

She paused and said seriously: "Especially my man."

Mu Zhian stared silently at her beautiful green eyes, and for a moment, he inadvertently looked away. Silence is golden.

"Do you think you will be embarrassed sometimes?"

Yao Meng stared at his side face, and the corner of his mouth curved with pleasure: "There is still half a month until the wedding. During this time, you can stay here and meditate peacefully. I will take care of the rest. of."

"I'm afraid it's not feasible to meditate right now."

Mu Zhian sighed softly: "Before that, I have to take Regina to the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree."

Yao Meng frowned lightly and said, "I will take care of these matters. You can stay here and meditate in peace."

Mu Zhian shook his head: "You have done so much for me, I can't just watch, right?"

Yao Meng's eyes flickered, soft at first, but gradually there was a hint of teasing smile: "Actually, you are just worried that I will tie you to the house with the Purifying Vine before leaving, right?"

As expected of Yao Meng, he really understands my character very well... Mu Zhi'an complained in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'm not an unreasonable person. I won't want you to stay with me like your little girlfriend does."

Yao Meng glanced at him lightly and said calmly: "I will go to the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree with you and protect the law for you."

Mu Zhian looked at her tall and sexy figure for a few times, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes: "Just dress like this?"

This dress is too thin. When Yao Meng wears it indoors, it is a little fun, but if he wears it out like this, it will be a problem.

"Of course I will change back -"

Before Yao Meng finished speaking, she heard Mu Zhian say very tactfully and sincerely: "Actually, I have prepared a set of clothes for you now. You can try to see if it fits you."

He fumbled among the rings for a while and took out a black dress carefully cut to the thigh, a pair of black stockings with beautiful patterns on the thigh, and a pair of high-heeled boots.

Yao Meng gave Mu Zhian an angry look and said, "Why do you carry such a thing with you?"

Mu Zhian coughed lightly and said, "In addition to meditating and practicing a few days ago, I also asked someone to customize a set of clothes, but I didn't expect it would fit you so well."

"Oh, do you dare to say that you didn't customize it specially?"

Yao Meng, who was as elegant as a flower and didn't like fighting with others, couldn't help but give Mu Zhian a disdainful sideways look when he heard this.

By the way, this dress and stockings were clearly cut according to her figure. This guy was here for her from the beginning.

Yao Meng's green fingers gently stroked Mu Zhian's forehead, and she lowered her eyes to look at him: "Do you really like me dressing up like this so much?"

Mu Zhian shrugged: "Actually, I like whatever you wear. It's pretty good as you are now. I just want to change my taste occasionally."

"It's quite honest~"

A beautiful smile appeared on her face, and her beautiful green eyes were full of teasing: "Let's talk about it after we get back."

…

After leaving Guiyi Pavilion, Mu Zhian found Regina and took her to the Tiandan Phoenix Tree.

Yao Meng had already been waiting for the two of them outside the Tiandan Phoenix Tree, and said quietly: "I will not set foot in the Tiandan Phoenix Tree with you this time, but I will let a ray of spiritual consciousness follow you and send you off in half an hour. Leave this cave."

Regina raised her eyebrows and said, "Mr. Mu, you were unwilling to tell me what you were bringing me to Yaochi all this time. Can you tell me now?"

Mu Zhian smiled and deliberately said: "Come in with me first, and you will know soon."

Under Mu Zhian's mysterious tone, Regina followed him into the cave with confusion and curiosity.

Not long after, the two of them entered the depths of the Heavenly Pill Phoenix Tree with their swords. When Mu Zhian pushed open the heavy door, a woman in a black dress who was trapped in the palace by green vines also followed. came into view.

The light that poured in at that moment made the woman squint her eyes uncomfortably, and then slowly raised her head to look.

"Mu Zhian..."

Lina shouted softly, and then her eyes quickly fell on the blond beauty next to Mu Zhian.

Her eyes quickly lit up, and she said excitedly: "Lady Regina!"

When Mu Zhian said that he knew Regina before, Lina had always been skeptical.

After all, how could a monk from Dongzhou be involved with the Holy Maiden of the Southern Wilderness?

But now Regina is indeed appearing in front of him...

"Miss Lina, can you now prove the relationship between me and Regina?" Mu Zhian looked at the beauty in black dress with a smile.

Hmm...it looks so astringent when the Jingshi vines are so restrained.

I really want Yao Meng to try it too...

Lina quickly calmed herself down and nodded slightly: "Although I don't know why the monks in Dongzhou got involved with Lady Regina, you did not lie before."

"Nanhuang secretly colluded with the first-generation Demon Emperor to attack the Yaochi Holy Land. The first purpose was to stop Yao Meng from joining the Tao, but there were other purposes behind the scenes, right?" Mu Zhian asked, staring into Lina's eyes.

However, Lina did not say a word, but glanced at Regina subconsciously.

Regina glanced at Mu Zhian and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, just say it."

If it were before, Regina might have hesitated to take into account the secret of Nanhuang, but now she knows that she was born to be a container for others, and all the hard work she has done so far has only become a wedding dress. In the heart of this Saintess of Nanhuang Subtle changes couldn't help but occur.

"The God of the Sky is looking for Lady Xue Yi and wants her to be reborn." Lina told the truth.

Mu Zhian really didn't lie to me... Regina's beautiful eyes flickered slightly and said: "The relationship between the Four Pillar Gods is not as good as it seems on the surface, why do they put so much effort into it?"

Just to make Southern Wilderness grow...?

Even if you think about it, you know it's impossible. For those gods, there is no such thing as sharing the same hatred and hatred.

There should be some secrets that I don't know about... Regina calmed down her thoughts slightly, turned to look at Mu Zhian, and said, "Mr. Mu, what will happen to Xue Yi after this?"

"Yao Meng said before that the seal she placed under the Tiandan Phoenix Tree will not last long, and the seal will be released on its own after that."

Mu Zhian looked at the woman in black skirt entangled with green vines and continued: "Before that, let her stay here."

Regina stared at Lina, and for a moment, she nodded silently.

No matter what, Lina was also instigated by Nanhuang to come to Dongzhou before, and now she can still survive. The result is already excellent.

After all, you must know that the Southern Wasteland monks who also set foot in Dongzhou before had their spiritual consciousness wiped from heaven and earth by Qing Emperor.

…

Mu Zhian closed the heavy door again, and then turned his head to look at the woman next to him who was wearing a pale gold dress and had a sickly temperament.

"What are your plans after this? Are you going back to Southern Wilderness?"

Regina said quietly: "If I go back to the Southern Wilderness now, I'm afraid I won't be me anymore after Xue Yi returns."

Mu Zhian pondered for a long time and comforted him: "Maybe you can stay in Dongzhou. If you can reach the Taoist realm in the future, you won't have such troubles."

When Regina heard this, she couldn't help but let out a chuckle: "The cultivation system in Southern Wilderness is extremely complicated. Even if the rules of heaven and earth are rewritten to allow the emergence of Hedao realm, it is impossible for another Hedao realm to appear in Southern Wilderness."

"Unless one of the Four Pillar Gods dies."

Mu Zhian was slightly startled, then thought of something and said: "I have heard that the cultivation system in Southern Wilderness is different from anywhere else in Kyushu, and the monks there practice faster than any monks in Kyushu... …Is this the price?”

If the Four Pillar Gods do not die, it will be impossible to create a new Hedao realm.

This Southern Wilderness’s cultivation system is somewhat similar to the ‘seat’ in Heaven…

"The Four Pillar Gods deliberately imposed such restrictions in order to facilitate control of Southern Wilderness?" Mu Zhian asked doubtfully.

He rode on Dragon Bird's back, and then stretched out his hand towards Regina.

With the help of Mu Zhian's strength, Regina jumped lightly and sat on Longque's back, a rose-like fragrance emanating from her clothes.

She shook her head and said: "It's not that the Four Pillars God deliberately restricted it like this. After all, Southern Wasteland was not founded by the Four Pillars God. In the earliest days, its cultivation system was passed down by a mysterious woman."

Mu Zhi'an thought slightly: "Could it be that the secret technique of Black Mist was also left behind by that woman?"

One of the secret techniques of the Southern Wilderness is the black mist. When the black mist wraps around one's body, one can hide one's aura for a short period of time, and even block the secrets of the universe without being noticed.

"I don't know about that. What happened at that time is not recorded even in the ancient books of the Southern Wilderness." Regina shook her head.

She looked obviously absent-minded, as if she was still thinking about what Lina had said before.

Mu Zhian did not disturb Regina's thoughts. This woman was very smart. Whether she wanted to make a wedding dress for others and give her body to Xue Yi in the future, or to resist, I believe she would figure it out soon.

After sending Regina away from the Tiandan Phoenix Tree, Mu Zhian flew straight towards Guiyi Pavilion with his sword.

After arriving at the attic without any obstruction, Mu Zhian entered the house and thought about everything that happened today.

The Southern Wilderness was not created by the Four Pillar Gods, but by a mysterious woman... If the black mist was also left by her, then the training system of the Southern Wilderness was probably left by the original witch.

"Although I like to eat soft food, there are too many mysteries surrounding Sister Mengrou."

Mu Zhian sighed softly, sat on the soft couch, opened his palms, and a drop of blood essence exuding a terrifying aura appeared in his palms.

The essence and blood of the Dengxian Realm that was originally obtained in the Extreme Abyss.

He originally thought that this blood essence should be given to a girl around him, but in the past half month, his 'protagonists' including Wei Mengrou had tried it, but no one could refine this drop of blood essence.

"Is there something wrong with the way I give it, or is it that the essence and blood itself cannot be swallowed by others?"

Mu Zhian looked at the blood essence in his palm and said to himself: "I have tried every position, and no one among them can swallow this drop of blood..."

"If the essence and blood of the Immortal Realm can be refined, its future strength may reach an extremely terrifying level."

Mu Zhian couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this.

Unfortunately, he still has no idea how to use this drop of blood essence.

"What's wrong? I'm sitting alone in the room sighing."

At this time, a bright and moving figure in the house appeared silently in the field of vision, accompanied by a soft and pleasant voice.

Mu Zhian opened his palm, and a drop of blood essence appeared in his field of vision.

He sighed softly: "Before, I thought that the natural furnace cauldron could refine all things and give them to others, but I have tried this blood essence several times, and the natural furnace cauldron cannot be refined. Likewise, it cannot be refined by anyone." change."

Yao Meng walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the drop of blood in his hand, and asked doubtfully: "Have you tried it on everyone around you?"

Mu Zhian nodded slightly.

Then, he suddenly realized something and explained: "I just want to test whether this blood essence can be swallowed by others-"

Before he finished speaking, Yao Meng suddenly said: "Have you ever tried it yourself?"

Mu Zhian was stunned and subconsciously raised his head to look at Yao Meng.

Then, he shook his head helplessly: "I can't actively use anything in the Tiantian Cauldron."

As he said that, he put his hand down the skirt and hugged Yao Meng's plump waist, gently kneaded it a few times, stared at her and said: "Speaking of which, you haven't tried it yet..."

Yao Meng gave Mu Zhian a charming roll of his eyes.

If you want to practice dual cultivation, just say so and take such a big detour...

"If something cannot be refined by the Tiansheng Furnace, does it mean that you can use it actively? In this case, you can try it first. If it doesn't work, I can try again later." Yao Meng said.

That's right, I'll try it myself first, and if it doesn't work, I'll let her try it later when I practice double cultivation with Yao Meng...

When Mu Zhian thought of this, he kneaded the soft waist of the fairy next to him, and his spiritual consciousness inadvertently swept over the blood essence that dripped into the fairyland.

It should be said that he is indeed an 'immortal' who does not belong to this world. When Mu Zhian's spiritual consciousness swept across the drop of blood essence, he was completely unable to detect any aura in the drop of blood essence.

Mu Zhian said helplessly: "That's why I told you, it definitely won't work -"

His voice suddenly stopped.

For a moment, the memory that surged in like a tidal wave almost completely swallowed up Mu Zhian's consciousness. His vision darkened in an instant, and the strong dizziness made Mu Zhian almost fall to the ground.

Then, in the endless darkness, a figure seemed to appear vaguely.

Mu Zhian resisted the dizziness, covered his forehead and slowly raised his head.

...is a woman.

A woman who looks familiar at first glance, but feels strange at the same time.
