It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists Chapter 464: Mu Zhian: Crap, There’s Another Fish That Slipp

Generally speaking, the pinnacle of this world was the Dao Integration Realm. Cultivators who could reach the end of this path naturally possessed strength, talent, and luck that went without saying.

But to break through the limits of a cultivator and resonate with the Dao, one needed another crucial factor: confidence.

The firm belief that one’s own ‘Dao’ was invincible.

Without such confidence, most Soul Transformation Realm cultivators would ultimately be struck by Heavenly Tribulation until they doubted their lives. Once their Dao Heart wavered, they would inevitably be annihilated in the Heavenly Tribulation, becoming nourishnt for the Nine Provinces.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator would only follow one Dao to the end.

Like Mu Zhian’s ‘body tempering’, the end of his path was Martial God.

The Dao cultivated by the Jade Empress required purifying the heart first, then purifying all things in the world. Therefore, the symbol of her Dao Integration was the World-Purifying Green Lotus.

Gong Lianyue was a more special case. In her past life, she followed the Dao of ‘One Sword Breaks All Techniques’, nurturing Sword Intent during Dao Integration. Any ordinary, blank sword in her hand would possess power only slightly weaker than an ancestral artifact.

And in Bai Ruoxi’s current life, she had one more Dao of ‘Charm’, which was the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox body.

In short, no matter who it was, under normal circumstances, they would only follow one path to the end.

However…

This was the first ti Yao ng had seen such a strange woman since achieving Dao Integration.

The Nine Peaks’ techniques of the Two Polarities Sect: Alchemy, Artifact Spirits, Sword Intent, Principles of Nature, Destiny Calculation, and other nine different Daos, this woman had mastered them all to the peak and successfully passed through the Heavenly Tribulation for each.

Dao Integration was already a difficult path, and the slightest misstep could turn one into dust.

This was because the Heavenly Tribulation for Dao Integration far exceeded people’s imagination. In the past, there were countless examples of Soul Transformation cultivators attempting Dao Integration, but ultimately dying in the Heavenly Tribulation with unwillingness.

Logically, the Heavenly Dao shouldn’t allow the existence of such an ‘anomaly’ like Mu Wanwan. If all nine Daos reached Dao Integration, it would an there wouldn’t be any ‘Dao Integration Realm experts’ for nine lifetis.

“You are very strong. You probably haven’t just mastered four different Daos, but have already cultivated all Nine Peaks’ techniques to the extre, right?”

Yao ng opened her red lips slightly, her eyes always clear and serene.

She gave off a very special feeling. Both her immortal body and voice were hazy, only vaguely revealing a graceful figure in the mist, but impossible to see clearly.

Her immortal voice lingered, making one’s heart ripple.

However, the mont her words fell, the several Lan Clan elders before the ancestral land couldn’t help but be stunned. They looked up at the Sabbath’s Divine Envoy with disbelief.

They felt this woman was simply too outrageous.

Was this sothing a ‘human’ could achieve?

Countless cultivators in the Nine Provinces painstakingly sought Dao Integration, but ultimately ended up disheartened. Yet this woman had actually mastered all nine different Daos to their peak?

One must know, to achieve Dao Integration, one needed unwavering determination in their own Dao. Her being able to master all Nine Peaks’ techniques ant that she was unwavering in all nine Daos of the Two Polarities Sect, firmly believing she could achieve Dao Integration through all nine paths.

It wasn’t that mastering nine Daos ant invincibility, but at least, her thods would be more unpredictable and harder to defend against than any other great power.

“No wonder you have such confidence to mock this Seat openly.”

Yao ng spoke softly again, her figure completely enveloped in immortal mist, making it impossible to see her face clearly. However, the more it was like this, the more people wanted to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Mu Wanwan said calmly, “I’m not here for you. It’s just that the Jade Empress is too domineering. After learning I’m his ex-girlfriend, she wanted to suppress .”

Yao ng took a deep look at Mu Wanwan and said faintly, “The Sabbath’s Divine Envoy ca to the Lan Clan Ancestral Land so openly to look for soone. Do you think this Seat should let you see him?”

Her smile was calm, but her heart held so strangeness and inexplicable displeasure.

Why would the Heavenly Dao choose her as the Sabbath’s ‘Divine Envoy’?

This woman’s stance was undoubtedly completely opposite to the Heavenly Dao. Logically, the Heavenly Dao shouldn’t possibly give the position of ‘Divine Envoy’ to Mu Wanwan.

Unless… the Heavenly Dao also hadn’t noticed this woman’s true identity.

Proficient in the Nine Peaks’ techniques, even able to shield destiny, the Sect Master Shang Yanfei, who orchestrated everything from behind the scenes, the identity of ‘ex-girlfriend’ Mu Wanwan, was one of her clones.

Among the Dao Peak’s techniques, there was one technique that, when cultivated to the extre, could achieve ‘One Qi Transforms into Three Purities’ (Daoist concept of creating three pure avatars). The main personality could then descend upon that clone with their will at any ti.

No wonder Shang Yanfei didn’t show any reaction when the Sabbath descended…

No wonder she was so calm. After all, the Divine Envoy chosen by the Heavenly Dao was her… Yao ng narrowed her beautiful eyes, a dangerous glint appearing within: “You do have designs on him.”

Mu Wanwan smiled faintly: “It was my will, not hers, who was intimate with him. You don’t need to be so wary of her too.”

The Dao Peak’s One Qi Transforms into Three Purities was a very magical technique. Unless the main personality’s will occasionally descended upon the clone, Mu Wanwan was Mu Wanwan, not anyone else. Of course, whether the clone had its own will was sothing the main personality could decide.

Yao ng was experienced and had naturally heard of this technique before, but she didn’t expect to witness it today.

“You’ve been paying attention to him from a long ti ago, so when his feelings were just budding, you disguised yourself as an ordinary young lady from a good family, ‘happened’ to pass through Tianxuan City and ‘encountered’ him by chance, right?” Yao ng asked.

Mu Wanwan smiled without speaking.

Seeing this scene, a deep coldness appeared in Yao ng’s beautiful eyes.

Imagine, back when Mu Zhian was still an innocent young man, even holding a girl’s hand would make his heart race, let alone how he felt when kissing Mu Wanwan…

If Mu Zhian was compared to a cake, then back in Tianxuan City, Mu Zhian was a freshly baked cake, and when he was freshly baked, Mu Zhian was already devoured by Mu Wanwan.

Yao ng’s beautiful and refined face was expressionless as she sized up the woman in the black dress.

After a while, she casually retracted her gaze and raised her fingertip.

A curtain seed to separate the two, making it impossible for the cultivators outside to see or hear anything happening here.

“Orchestrating so many things, just for that little bit of affair between a man and a woman. Should I say you’re too bored in Two Polarities Peak, or is my Dao Companion too charming, making you unable to resist, Sect Master Shang?”

If the cultivators outside heard this, they would be greatly shocked. The Sabbath’s Divine Envoy being a clone of the Two Polarities Sect Master, this news was enough to cause a sensation throughout the Nine Provinces!

“The back then indeed couldn’t resist.”

She paused, looking at Fairy Yao ng not far ahead with a smile in her eyes, and continued, “If you knew earlier that you would beco his Dao Companion, could you have resisted?”

Yao ng’s eyes rippled, her delicate brows raising slightly, and she said faintly, “Does Sect Master Shang think everyone would be like you, making a move on a boy whose heart has just begun to stir?”

She raised her beautiful eyes, looking back into Mu Wanwan’s eyes, and chuckled softly, “If he knew that the respected Sect Master Sister he admired was actually soone with a ‘young boy’ fetish, I wonder how he would feel?”

Mu Wanwan didn’t deny it: “Yes, I did make a move back then when I saw his innocence in matters of the heart. If I have to say, the Jade Empress’s words aren’t wrong.”

“However—”

The corner of the black-dressed woman’s mouth curved into a faint smile, and she said softly, “Why don’t you close your eyes now, Jade Empress, and think about how it felt to be intimate with him back then, when he was so clueless about feelings?”

Yao ng’s gaze was calm and indifferent, but ripples stirred within her heart.

It wasn’t hard to imagine. On one side was a boy who hadn’t even touched a woman before, and on the other side was an Empress who had already stood tall in the long river of history. Even if she disguised herself as a ‘young lady’ to approach him, Mu Wanwan must have been the dominant one in their relationship.

They would admire peach blossoms in spring, travel and escape the sumr heat together, watch the red maple leaves like rosy clouds in autumn, and sit in a room with a roaring fire in winter, watching the snowflakes flutter outside the window. Then, the voluptuous older sister would intentionally or unintentionally touch the young man’s hand with the back of her hand, teasing his heartstrings. When he finally mustered the courage to hold her hand, she would tease him with words…

Then the two would share their first kiss in a slightly tipsy state, or even…

Yao ng opened her eyes slightly, a deepness appearing in her clear, gem-like green eyes.

It was impossible to say she wasn’t jealous. Although she verbally disdained Shang Yanfei’s actions, if it were her back then… she would probably have done even more than Shang Yanfei.

Mu Wanwan smiled, her voice soft and lodious, “It seems the Jade Empress empathizes with what I said?”

“Could it be that the holy and flawless fairy in the eyes of the world also has so special hobbies, just like ?”

Seeing Yao ng fall silent, Mu Wanwan was about to speak again.

But unexpectedly, Yao ng’s expression gradually softened, and she said with a smile, her tone calm as if looking down upon all beings, “If I said I didn’t care about what happened between you and him in the past, that would be a lie.”

“If it were , I would probably have made the sa decision as you.”

After all, who wouldn’t want to take the first bite of a freshly baked cake?

However—

Yao ng’s tone changed, and her heavenly voice slowly echoed in Mu Wanwan’s ear:

“Why don’t you guess, if he had to choose again now, would he choose you, or ?”

“Miss Ex-Girlfriend?” The corner of her mouth curved into a dangerous smile, deliberately emphasizing the word ‘ex’.

The air in the entire space seed to freeze, a deathly silence enveloping the area.

“During the ti he’s been intimate with , do you think he ever thought of you? Or would he call out the na ‘Jade Empress Sister’, burying his face in my bosom?”

The calm smile on Mu Wanwan’s face finally faded slightly.

She was one of the clones of ‘One Qi Transforms into Three Purities’, but she also had her own will and naturally cared about Mu Zhian.

And hearing these words now, she couldn’t help but think more.

Yao ng tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear with her fingertip and said with a smile, “How long were you together with him?”

“Half a year? Or a year?”

“During that ti, how long were you intimate with him?”

Mu Wanwan opened her mouth slightly, about to speak.

“Shh.”

Yao ng placed a finger against her red lips, tilted her head slightly, and showed a charming smile: “You probably weren’t intimate many tis, right? So there isn’t much of your Spiritual Energy in his cauldron.”

The Innate Celestial Furnace could only passively give to others, but the main cauldron could still absorb so Spiritual Energy from the person dual cultivating with it.

“And the Eight Chaos Dream Scroll technique and the cauldron he currently has, all ca from the Spiritual Energy I gave him.”

“Even this Seat’s own cauldron is now filled with the Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy he gave . When you fought against just now, you must have sensed this wonderful Spiritual Energy, right?”

Yao ng said faintly, “The so-called Mu Zhian, innocent and clueless about feelings, that you speak of, is indeed heartwarming. But the past is ultimately the past. He is now a good boy who often acts spoiled with his Jade Empress Sister.”

“How about I send you a Shadow Stone next ti, so you can see whether the woman he calls out in bed is ‘Jade Empress Sister’, or you, his ex-girlfriend?”

Suddenly turning the tables, Yao ng gazed at Mu Wanwan’s raven-black dress fluttering in the cold wind and said with a smile, “He’s already co out. Why don’t you ask him who he misses the most so far?”

Mu Wanwan narrowed her beautiful eyes, casually glancing at the entrance to Immortal Emperor Mountain below.

There, a young man in a black robe with gold and silver threads was walking out of the entrance. Beside him was a silver-haired beauty, holding a small notebook, looking well-behaved and cute, a serene look in her red starry eyes.

Sensing their gazes, Lin Ling subconsciously looked up, glancing at the sky.

Although there was a ‘formation’ concealing them, she still sensed the powerful auras in that direction.

“What’s wrong, Lin Ling? Did you find Yao ng?”

Mu Zhian imdiately noticed Lin Ling’s gaze and looked up.

In the sky, lead-colored clouds gathered, a gloomy day.

In the distance, several Lan Clan elders stood there, their expressions blank, as if pondering the aning of their lifelong cultivation.

“Didn’t they say Yao ng and the Sabbath’s alien god were fighting… Where are they?” Mu Zhian asked doubtfully.

“Brother Mu, you finally ca out!”

Just then, Lan Wu’s overjoyed voice ca from the distance. He seed relieved and imdiately ca over upon seeing Mu Zhian.

“Brother-in-law, is there sothing urgent?” Mu Zhian greeted.

Lan Wu was speechless. Hearing Mu Zhian’s address, he wanted to punch this handso face.

But sensing the silver-haired beauty’s faint gaze, he coughed lightly, imdiately restraining his impulse, and said seriously, “The Jade Empress and the Sabbath’s Divine Envoy are fighting. I thought only you could stop the Jade Empress, so I sent soone to get you.”

“Where is Yao ng now?” Mu Zhian hesitated.

Lan Wu pointed towards a certain direction in the sky: “There, they used so kind of technique to completely isolate that space.”

“I understand,” Mu Zhian nodded slightly.

He was very calm. As long as it wasn’t the fish in his pond fighting amongst themselves, it was much easier to handle.

“Lin Ling, can you take in to take a look?” Mu Zhian asked.

It was naturally difficult for him to enter the Dao Integration Realm on his own, but with Lin Ling, who possessed Words Manifest Reality, by his side, entering the Dao Integration Realm wasn’t difficult.

Not only had he awakened the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox this ti, but he also obtained a wisp of chaotic aura. After his Innate Celestial Furnace could refine this chaotic aura, he could go find Sect Master Sister…

It could be said that this trip to the ancestral land had been extrely profitable.

After returning later, he could even enjoy the Jade Empress Sister’s lap pillow, then go find Lin Ling at night for in-depth communication…

Mu Zhian looked at the dazed Lin Ling, already fantasizing about the beautiful things after returning.

Just then, Lin Ling held Mu Zhian’s hand, her red lips parting slightly.

The next mont, their figures vanished from the ancestral land, appearing in a boundless Dao Integration Realm.

A green dress flashed past his eyes. Mu Zhian looked up and indeed saw that slender figure in a green dress.

Her jade feet danced gracefully, immortal mist lingering, her figure hazy and beautiful.

Mu Zhian was about to transmit his voice, but just then, the ‘Divine Envoy’ opposite Yao ng also seed to sense Mu Zhian’s presence and looked up.

Mu Zhian’s gaze t hers, and the woman in the black dress appeared in his vision.

I think I’ve seen her before… Mu Zhian looked at the familiar beautiful eyes, frowning slightly, feeling a sense of déjà vu.

Boom!

Then, a thunderous sound bood through Mu Zhian’s mind, and the long-sealed door of mory slowly opened. That devastatingly beautiful face and incredibly familiar gaze appeared in his vision.

“…”

“…”

“…”

After being stunned for an unknown amount of ti, Mu Zhian closed his eyes slightly, seemingly feeling that his way of opening his mories just now wasn’t quite right, even feeling like he was dreaming.

“Aaa?”

Lin Ling gently tugged at Mu Zhian’s clothes, making a soft and lodious sound.

Mu Zhian slowly opened his eyes, noticing Yao ng and Mu Wanwan’s gazes on him simultaneously. After being stunned for an unknown amount of ti, he murmured:

“Crap… I forgot there was another fish that slipped through the net.”

…
