The Sabbath, just from what the Spirit Dragon knew from the past, had already occurred twice. According to rumors, the Sabbath originally stemd from the Great Dao, but within the Nine Provinces, the one truly controlling the Sabbath was the Heavenly Dao.
Or rather, it was one of the ‘rules’ prepared by the Heavenly Dao to balance the state of the Nine Provinces. Although it reduced the Luck of the Nine Provinces each ti, it was also for the sake of the ‘Imaginary World’ backing the Nine Provinces.
Under normal circumstances, cultivators of the Nine Provinces referred to the ‘Imaginary World’ as the ‘Firmant’.
The so-called imaginary numbers are false, unreal numbers. The Imaginary World is different from all things in the universe; it does not exist within people’s vision and cannot even be reached, hence it is called imaginary.
However, it is indeed a real place. So great powers can tear open spatial rifts under specific conditions to reach the ‘Imaginary World’.
And the Sabbath was intended to transfer part of the Nine Provinces’ Luck to the Firmant as nourishnt.
At this mont, in a quiet village late at night, several elderly figures with aged faces silently looked up, watching the soft white light under the night sky.
“The Sabbath has finally descended after all,” Daochu Tianzun(*Dao Initial Celestial Venerable*) spoke softly.
“Wasn’t it precisely because Sister Qiao deduced the ti of the Sabbath’s arrival that she had us retreat to the mountains and forests? Why is Daochu Tianzun so conflicted now?” an old man beside him slowly said.
“With the Sabbath descending, the Nine Provinces will likely face devastation. We were nurtured by the Spiritual Energy of the Nine Provinces’ land, yet we avoid battle at this mont… Alas.” Daochu Tianzun gently shook his head and sighed, complexity in his murky eyes.
The old lady called ‘Sister Qiao’, her back hunched, said faintly, “The Sabbath is the Heavenly Dao’s doing to balance the state of the Nine Provinces. Resisting the Sabbath ans defying the Heavenly Dao, making it difficult to survive in the Nine Provinces. Since you all made your decision back then, you should not have regrets today.”
“At least in this village, we can still live in seclusion.”
An old man nodded slightly and said darkly, “Let’s seal the village for a period of ti for now.”
As his words fell, the entire village seed to be faintly enveloped by a mysterious power, making it impossible for the outside world to sense any trace of life from within.
…
Martial World.
This place was remote, and coupled with the extre winter throughout the year, apart from the Two Polarities Sect’s past sect assessnts using the Martial World as an assessnt point, few people resided here.
And on this quiet night, an aurora streaked down from the night sky. It tore through the void, grazed the mountain peaks in the Martial World, and landed in the great wilderness.
It was a huge, luminous oval sphere. If Mu Zhian were here, he would definitely pull Lin Ling and shout, “Lin Ling, quick, look at the flying saucer!”
Yes… from the outside, it indeed had the shape of a ‘flying saucer’, shimring with a tallic luster, incredibly mysterious.
As it landed in the Martial World, the entire ground seed to shake violently. Following that, grayish mist silently seeped out from the flying saucer.
The gray mist spread very slowly, radiating outwards bit by bit with the ‘flying saucer’ at its center.
So cultivators passing through the Martial World by chance clearly noticed this artifact from the alien starry sky and, filled with curiosity, flew towards it on their swords.
However, the mont so cultivators touched the gray mist, they discovered in horror that the parts of their skin touching the gray mist instantly lted. A miserable scream rang out: “There’s sothing wrong with this gray mist! It’s devouring my Essence! Save… save !”
Several nearby rogue cultivators’ expressions changed slightly. They looked uncertainly at the mysterious oval sphere within the gray mist, hesitated no longer, turned, and wanted to flee.
However, as they scattered and fled, they discovered in horror that all directions of the Martial World had unknowingly been completely enveloped by the gray mist.
Following that, one miserable scream after another echoed throughout the Martial World.
At the sa ti, the hatch of the flying saucer opened silently, and an imnsely vast aura silently enveloped the entire Martial World.
…
“Is it just the sa na, or is the Sabbath’s Divine Envoy really her?”
Mu Zhian looked at the na appearing before his eyes, couldn’t help but frown deeply in thought, and murmured to himself.
“Aaa (Do you know her?)”
Lin Ling sidled up next to him like a cat, her silver hair lightly brushing his face, ticklish, carrying a faint, subtle fragrance.
Mu Zhian snapped back to reality, shook his head, and smiled, “Not necessarily. It’s just that this na is a bit familiar. I had so interactions with soone of this na back when I was in Tianxuan City.”
“But thinking about it, it should just be a coincidence with the na.”
After all, according to Old Ren, his ex-girlfriend had already visited the Mu family in Tianxuan City a few days ago… but the Sabbath’s warship only landed in the Nine Provinces tonight.
The timing doesn’t match, so it should just be a coincidence.
Yeah, probably…
Just as Mu Zhian was thinking about these things with complicated feelings, Lin Ling suddenly wrote on her small notebook: “The Sabbath usually chooses soone from the Nine Provinces as the Divine Envoy, and that Divine Envoy should have the bloodline of the Firmant.”
Mu Zhian was stunned. “So, it really could be her…?”
Just as he finished speaking, Lin Ling was already holding up her small notebook, waiting for him: “Is it soone you know?”
“Do you care about her a lot?” Mu Zhian asked.
Lin Ling hugged her small notebook and nodded obediently: “I want to know what happened to you in the past. What is the relationship between the Firmant’s Divine Envoy and you?”
Mu Zhian felt complicated. He wrote on the small notebook for her to see: “I do know soone nad Mu Wanwan, but she might not necessarily be the Sabbath’s Divine Envoy.”
Back when Mu Zhian was still a profligate young master, he had pursued many girls in Tianxuan City, and basically succeeded with all of them. Those girls all ca from reasonably good family backgrounds locally.
Besides them, among the rchant caravans occasionally passing through Tianxuan City, there were also older sisters and rchants’ daughters who were friendly with Mu Zhian.
But everyone just forgot each other after one night… Even Mu Zhian didn’t expect to hit the jackpot like this, seeing his ex-girlfriend’s na upon the Sabbath’s arrival.
“If it really is her, I probably need to consider hiding for a while,” Mu Zhian sighed softly.
“Do you have enmity with her?” Lin Ling held up her small notebook and asked.
Mu Zhian gently stroked her head and said softly, “Normally, there are only two ways for couples to break up: either forget each other in the jianghu, or beco enemies.”
“As for supposedly remaining good friends after breaking up… I don’t believe many people can face their ex-lover calmly, with their state of mind completely undisturbed.”
“So you are enemies?” Lin Ling wrote on the small notebook.
“Not really, it can only be considered a relatively peaceful breakup…” Mu Zhian said.
“Do you still like her?”
There are many people I like… Mu Zhian said helplessly, “If I have to say, I still feel so lingering attachnt. After all, she can be considered my first love.”
His first ti, and even his first kiss, were given to her.
However, that girl arrived mysteriously back then and left just as mysteriously. Although Mu Zhian hadn’t broken up with her, their Dao Companion relationship was basically dead in na.
Mu Zhian just hadn’t expected her to co looking for him in Tianxuan City a few days ago.
“If the fish in my fishpond find out about this, it will probably cause a lot of trouble,” Mu Zhian silently pressed his forehead and sighed.
“Find out about what?”
Just then, a cold voice suddenly ca from not far away.
Mu Zhian froze for a mont, subconsciously looking towards the windowsill, seeing the yellow-skirted beauty who had jumped onto the windowsill at so unknown ti.
Her beautiful eyes were cold, staring straight at Mu Zhian.
“Sister ngrou, when did you arrive?” Mu Zhian was startled inwardly.
Ever since Wei ngrou advanced from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, her aura concealnt was much stronger than before, to the point that Mu Zhian hadn’t even noticed her.
“I knocked just now, but you didn’t respond, so I could only co in myself to check the situation,” Wei ngrou said faintly.
“Spying on your master’s private life, what a malicious personality,” Mu Zhian complained.
Wei ngrou glanced at him and silently took out a lustrous stone from her bosom.
“Shadow Stone?! When did you put this thing in my room?!” Mu Zhian imdiately realized.
The corner of Wei ngrou’s mouth quirked up. “Guess~”
She glanced at the two people in the room, her gaze lingering on Lin Ling for a mont, then said calmly, “Anyway, I already have a malicious personality. Being a little more malicious doesn’t matter.”
“What do you think, Master~?”
Mu Zhian got out of bed, pulled Wei ngrou’s hand, and smiled, “Let’s discuss things properly. Give the surveillance… I an, the Shadow Stone.”
Wei ngrou played with the Shadow Stone in her hand, glanced at her young master a couple more tis, and finally tossed the Shadow Stone to him.
Seeing the relieved Mu Zhian, Wei ngrou faintly added:
“Forgot to tell you, the Shadow Stone only has a few cats I recorded on my way here just now.”
Mu Zhian: “?”
Have you not received stick education for too long and are itching for it, Sister ngrou… Mu Zhian muttered silently.
“You ca looking for so late tonight, presumably you have sothing important to say?” Mu Zhian asked.
Wei ngrou glanced at Lin Ling beside her and nodded gently. “The Lan Clan is already investigating their internal elders.”
Mu Zhian nodded slightly. “Besides the Great Elder, the Lan Clan definitely has others colluding with outside clans. With an internal traitor like Lan Cao exposed, plus the imminent arrival of the Sabbath, it’s normal for the Lan Clan to feel a sense of crisis.”
“You ca here probably not just to tell this, right?”
“I heard from cultivators outside that the Sabbath’s warship stopped near the Martial World. If possible during this ti, it’s best not to go near there,” Wei ngrou reminded softly.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mu Zhian’s rather subtle expression and asked hesitantly, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s too late. Even if I don’t go, the other party will probably co looking for ,” Mu Zhian said silently.
Under Wei ngrou’s doubtful gaze, Mu Zhian roughly explained what he had learned earlier.
“Mu Wanwan? That woman is the Sabbath’s Divine Envoy?”
Wei ngrou’s expression turned sowhat unsightly. She recalled so unpleasant mories.
“You know her too?” Lin Ling held up her small notebook and asked.
“An extrely malicious woman,” Wei ngrou said faintly.
Seemingly sensing the curiosity in Lin Ling’s eyes, Wei ngrou said, “She wasn’t from Tianxuan City. She was just passing through Tianxuan City by chance back then, and ended up being targeted by the Young Master. After he pursued her for a while, they beca Dao Companions.”
“But that woman ca mysteriously and left mysteriously. The Mu family sent people to investigate several tis back then but couldn’t find out her identity or origin.”
“Actually, it’s not as exaggerated as Sister ngrou says, but her personality is indeed sowhat malicious, or rather, black-bellied…” Mu Zhian said.
“By the way, the Young Master’s first kiss was given to her. If nothing unexpected happened, his first ti being intimate was also with her,” Wei ngrou added.
Lin Ling stared straight at Wei ngrou and handed her the small notebook: “Want to et her.”
“Even if we don’t look for her, we’ll probably have a chance to et her later,” Wei ngrou glanced lightly at the worried-looking Young Master. “If she really is the Sabbath’s Divine Envoy.”
As she spoke, her gaze suddenly sized up Lin Ling doubtfully again.
More accurately, she was sizing up the faintly visible butterfly imprint on her lower abdon.
It was an imprint composed of two butterflies, looking sowhat like a ‘heart’ shape.
This imprint looked quite familiar, so much so that Wei ngrou reacted the first ti she saw it, her expression changing.
“You and Senior Spirit Dragon…”
Sister ngrou reacts quite quickly… Mu Zhian transmitted his voice: “She was suffering from Karmic Fire before, I had no choice.”
Wei ngrou sized up the Young Master with a strange expression.
Among the girls Mu Zhian knew, Lin Ling had always been the one she worried about the least.
Because the Spirit Dragon’s Dao could sense the Young Master’s lewd emotions.
Unexpectedly, even Senior Spirit Dragon…
“You gave her the Heavenly Court seat too, right?” Wei ngrou continued via voice transmission.
Mu Zhian looked up in surprise. “How did you know?”
“Isn’t the imprint on her lower abdon the Heavenly Court’s seat?”
Wei ngrou hooked her skirt hem with a fingertip, revealing a pair of long, snow-white beautiful legs. A black butterfly imprint faintly appeared on her tender white left thigh. The contrast between black and white was particularly striking, captivating the soul.
“Are you sure you didn’t deliberately put this imprint there yourself?” She stared suspiciously at the Young Master.
The butterfly imprint on Wei ngrou’s right thigh back then was also caused by Mu Zhian giving her Heavenly Dao Luck. Now, after giving the Spirit Dragon the Heavenly Court seat, there was a similar imprint.
Anything related to the Young Master always ended up like this, unknowingly becoming sothing lewd…
Sure enough, the Heavenly Court takes after its master, so even the Heavenly Court’s rules are so improper.
Mu Zhian spread his hands innocently. “No matter what, I wouldn’t leave such obvious imprints on you. Even if stealing food, one must know to wipe their mouth, right?”
Wei ngrou couldn’t find a reason to refute for a mont.
Mu Zhian moved closer to Wei ngrou, glancing at her beautiful legs a few tis. “Speaking of which, I rember the butterfly seed to be on your right thigh before, how did it move to the left now?”
Wei ngrou showed a disgusted look, saying contemptuously, “That butterfly is my awakened Ancestral Artifact. It’s not like you don’t know.”
“Also, can you stop staring at people with such lewd eyes? Your hormones will affect Senior Spirit Dragon.”
“I was just a little curious,” Mu Zhian explained.
Wei ngrou stood with her slender legs crossed, pouting. “After being curious, you want to touch it with your hand, right? Do you want to let you lick it too?”
Mu Zhian gently shook his head, saying demurely, “Can you put on white silk stockings first before letting serve you?”
Wei ngrou: “…”
The maid was once again rendered speechless by her Young Master. She pulled Lin Ling back several steps, shielding Lin Ling in front of her, as if wanting to distance herself from a pervert.
Lin Ling looked doubtfully at Wei ngrou and held up her small notebook, asking, “Are you talking about snacks?”
“Not snacks, but he likes tasting them the most,” Wei ngrou looked contemptuously at her Young Master.
“If the Young Master asks you to wear stockings, you must know how to refuse him,” she reminded Lin Ling again.
“Why?” Lin Ling held up her small notebook.
Wei ngrou glanced at the Young Master a couple of tis and said faintly, “You are too innocent. If you do as the Young Master says, he probably won’t be able to resist making a move on you.”
“To the Young Master, his love for stockings is equivalent to your love for the Eight Treasure Crane.”
Lin Ling let out an “Aaa” of sudden realization.
“Don’t teach her such weird knowledge! Also, can you stop looking at with such strange eyes, making it seem like I’m really a pervert…” Mu Zhian said speechlessly.
Wei ngrou glanced expressionlessly at the Young Master. Seemingly recalling various past events with him, her face gradually flushed red, and she said faintly, “Aren’t you?”
“Is liking one’s own maid considered perverted? Is there a problem with having one’s own maid wear white silk?” Mu Zhian said righteously, then glanced a couple more tis at the silver-haired beauty in the pristine white dress.
Wei ngrou actually couldn’t find a reason to refute for a mont.
Lin Ling seed a bit uncomfortable being stared at, shyly pressing her legs together, placing one hand in front of her skirt.
However, she didn’t know that, to Mu Zhian, her current posture of seeming refusal yet welco was actually even more alluring.
Weng!
Just as Mu Zhian was about to speak, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly ca from beside his ear.
In the deep night, rolling black mist quietly pushed forward from afar. At the sa ti, under this vast starry sky, a ray of faint blue light shone down from the heavens above.
That ray of faint blue light pierced through layers of black clouds like sunlight.
The light transford into a bizarre creature with a ferocious and terrifying form. It extended a pair of scarlet beast eyes from within the black clouds.
A corner of the black clouds collapsed at that instant, as if the sky itself had crumbled.
If a child saw this scene, they would undoubtedly be scared to tears, because just this pair of beast eyes seed to reflect the heavens, spanning the size of more than half the Great Qian Dynasty.
The common people in the Nine Provinces did not feel this terrifying pressure, but all cultivators sensed Its presence. Almost at that instant, a fear originating from instinct arose in their hearts.
That was… a god containing the laws of the Heavenly Dao!
Mu Zhian reacted almost imdiately, quickly pushing open the window and looking up. The scarlet beast eyes made even his heart tremble involuntarily, and countless goosebumps imdiately rose on his body.
Why does this thing look so disgusting?
“All Luck in the Nine Provinces belongs to the Firmant. From this day forth, all races of the Nine Provinces shall remain within their clans. If any flee privately, their entire clan shall be liquidated and dealt with by extermination.”
The creature’s eyes were chillingly intimidating. It spoke calmly, its voice exploding like thunder in the ears of countless cultivators, the sound wave sweeping across the entire Nine Provinces.
Wei ngrou approached silently, her eyes having turned silver at so unknown point, mysterious and magnificent.
She whispered, “Is this the Sabbath’s alien god ? Containing the laws of the Heavenly Dao, presumably its actions are tacitly permitted by the Heavenly Dao.”
Mu Zhian looked up and stared quietly for a long ti, then suddenly let out a soft laugh.
“What great official authority.”
