Chapter 623: Chapter 623

That night, the room was filled with repressed, sweet moans. With the formation isolating the room, almost no one noticed anything amiss.

Of course, almost no one, not completely no one.

At this moment, in a closed room, the Bodhisattva in white sat on a lotus flower, reciting a sutra.

A faint golden light emanated from her, her face serene, as if completely immersed in the sea of scriptures.

After a while, Miao Yi Bodhisattva frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.

She looked towards a certain room and sighed softly.

Although in the past, some people who came to the mountain had been intimate with their Dao Companions in Nalanda, someone like Mu Zhian, doing that directly in a room in Nalanda Temple, was a first.

As one of the only two great powers in Nalanda, Miao Yi Bodhisattva could sense a little of everything that happened there, if she wished.

Because of this, she could clearly sense a demonic aura… and the Innate Celestial Furnace’s Spiritual Energy mixed in with it, drifting from a certain room.

The sweet and melodious moans continued to echo in her ears, pulling Miao Yi Bodhisattva back to reality.

She clasped her hands together, reciting a sutra, banishing all improper thoughts from her mind.

However, one thought still lingered.

When the Heavenly Dao descended, the Western Regions would likely be in great danger.

Relying on the will of all beings to transcend, there simply wasn’t enough time…

If she submitted to this young man she detested so much for the sake of Transcendence… would that be considered sacrificing herself for the greater good?

Mu Zhian felt… drained.

In the past, he was always the one on top, but this time, he never expected that someone would be on top of him.

Huang Manting awoke from a daze, saw the already awake young man, and couldn’t help but smile, taking his arm, “It’s a pity I forgot to put down a Shadow Stone last night. Otherwise, we could have replayed our activities on a loop later.”

Mu Zhian: “Do you all have some strange hobbies? Don’t you feel incredibly embarrassed watching that kind of scene?”

Huang Manting smiled faintly, “How could I? Besides, that kind of scene is rare. Don’t you think so? Little Brother~”

She deliberately emphasized the last two words, a playful glint in her eyes.

Compared to his current handsome young man form, she felt that Mu Zhian’s younger form yesterday was also quite nice… It made one want to bully him.

“Right, I have something for you.”

Smiling at the helpless Mu Zhian, Huang Manting suddenly remembered something important. She held the blanket and sat up in bed, her long, messy hair cascading down her slender waist, the blanket concealing her delicate figure.

She rummaged through her storage ring for a while, found a folded letter, and handed it over.

“After Master’s return, the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation is now divided into two factions. Before he left, he personally sealed a secret room, and this letter was inside. Ni Yan tried to enter that secret room several times in secret but failed. I was curious, so I found a chance to sneak in and finally found this page,” Huang Manting said.

Mu Zhian took the letter and glanced at it, his gaze freezing slightly.

Then, he looked up at Huang Manting, “Can you read the words on it?”

The Forbidden Land of Reincarnation had existed in the Nine Provinces for too long. The characters on this page were from some unknown era, he couldn’t understand a single word.

But just gazing at these characters, he seemed to faintly hear someone chanting Buddhist scriptures in his mind, making his head spin.

“If I could read it, I wouldn’t have brought it to you.”

Huang Manting frankly admitted, “The characters on this seem to be from a certain period in the Nine Provinces’ history, with a special Buddhist blessing. I thought that with Young Master Mu’s vast connections and talent, you might know what’s written on it.”

Mu Zhian glanced at the young woman lying on his thigh, “I was wondering why you would share such a secret with me. It turns out you don’t even know what’s written on it…”

Huang Manting gently kicked her feet, swinging them carelessly, and said coquettishly, “That’s because I trust you. If it were anyone else, I would never have taken this out.”

“After all, we’ve had a… deep exchange.”

Mu Zhian’s thoughts stirred, “The people of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation still don’t know you took the thing from that secret room?”

Huang Manting nodded gently, “If they knew, I wouldn’t have been able to bring it out. If Ni Yan knew I took this, she would probably come after me with everything she has.”

“So, do you know what’s written on it?” she asked.

Mu Zhian shook his head, “Not for now, but I have some ideas.”

He didn’t know, but wasn’t Bodhisattva Miao Yi still in the Western Regions?

“But aren’t you worried the Lord of Reincarnation will be displeased after discovering you brought this to me?”

Huang Manting narrowed her eyes, a smile in them, “Don’t worry, no one will find out… Besides, my Master no longer wants to meddle in mortal affairs, he just wants to live out his remaining years in peace.”

Mu Zhian glanced at her discreetly, “Then what was your purpose in giving me this letter? Simply to find out what’s written on it?”

Huang Manting chuckled softly, “Young Master Mu, have you ever considered why my Master would give up the position of Lord of Reincarnation and choose to retire in a small village as an ordinary old man? Even when the village was short on food before I provided supplies, because he had sealed his cauldron at the time, turning himself into a frail old man.”

“Not just the Lord of Reincarnation, but also the Eternal Celestial, Daochu Tianzun, and the others. With their status, they could have anything they wanted, yet they were willing to live in a small village, chopping wood and carrying water every day, living a poor and difficult life.”

Huang Manting’s fingertips traced Mu Zhian’s face, drawing circles on his chest, “I heard from my Master about what happened in the Forbidden Lands in the past. The powers of the Nine Provinces all fear the Forbidden Lands, but whenever a Forbidden Zone Lord emerges, they are always suppressed by a certain person, and an indelible curse is left on them. So they’re tired, they’re scared, and now they just want to live in seclusion.”

Mu Zhian narrowed his eyes, “So you think this letter might record the battle between the nine Forbidden Zone Lords and that mysterious person, and even some unknown secrets?”

Huang Manting said noncommittally, “Basically, yes.”

“There should be more to it, right?”

Mu Zhian smiled, “You’re worried that after you replace Ni Yan and become the Lord of Reincarnation, you’ll still have to face the threat of that mysterious expert who suppressed the Nine Forbidden Lands, that she’s like a sword hanging over your head, making you live in fear.”

“Young Master Mu is truly clever. But actually, I’m also doing this for you. You wouldn’t want me to just inherit the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation and then be immediately purged by that mysterious expert, would you?”

Huang Manting’s beautiful eyes held a rare hint of resentment, “Although I’m doing this for self-preservation, it’s also to be of help to you in the future.”

Mu Zhian discreetly raised his eyebrows.

Shang Yanfei was the one who suppressed the Nine Forbidden Lands. If she knew about Huang Manting’s relationship with him, she naturally wouldn’t purge her.

But Yuanluo’s words earlier made Mu Zhian a little doubtful.

A Dao Integration Realm expert, with her true body unable to leave the sect, how did she suppress the Nine Forbidden Lands?

There might be some related records in this letter given by Huang Manting.

“Is this the only page?” Mu Zhian asked.

He noticed that the letter didn’t end with a period, as if it only recorded a part of the content.

“There should be more than one page, but I need to go back and look for the rest.”

As Huang Manting spoke, she said casually, “But anyway, Young Master Mu will also be taken to the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation as a ‘captive’ later, so we’ll see each other soon. I believe you can find the solution to decipher this record. Of course, if you can’t, then there’s no need to continue looking for these letters.”

This sounded reasonable, but the underlying meaning was more like: I also want to know what’s written in here.

If Mu Zhian deciphered the content of this letter and then said he didn’t know, Huang Manting wouldn’t provide the subsequent content.

“It’s about time. If we stay here any longer, we’ll probably be discovered.”

After Huang Manting stood up and changed her clothes, as if remembering something, she gracefully walked to Mu Zhian’s side, leaned down slightly, and whispered, “By the way, you can try this form next time. Our relationship can be kept a secret, I’ll always be your secret lover.”

Mu Zhian fell into a brief silence.

It had to be said, this was truly… an irresistible offer.

In the eyes of outsiders, she was still the disciple of the Lord of Reincarnation, the future true heir to the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation, but in private, she would play any game with you… and no one would know.

The next moment, Huang Manting curtsied slightly and gently kissed Mu Zhian on the cheek.

“The deal is done, then I’ll be going.”

With that said, she turned and transformed into an ethereal figure, disappearing from the room.

Faintly, he could still smell the girl’s fragrance lingering in the room. Recalling the events of last night, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

Although not as big as Nai Xi, she was truly alluring… And his size yesterday was probably less than half of his usual, so the feeling was completely different.

Looking at the yellowed letter in his hand, after a moment of thought, Mu Zhian suddenly said, “When did Sister Mengrou arrive?”

As he spoke, he looked up at the empty room.

Within the previously empty room, a black rift suddenly appeared.

Within the rift, Wei Mengrou was shrouded in a mysterious black mist, the candlelight outlining her slender and beautiful figure, like a beautiful elf in the light and shadow.

“The two spiritual senses within my body were worried about you, so I came to take a look. I won’t affect your normal… activities, don’t worry. Even yesterday, when you and Miss Huang were playing those little games, I didn’t interrupt you, did I?”

Wei Mengrou’s tone was incredibly calm, but her gaze was fixed on the young master, “However, I don’t think I’ve ever heard that you can also grow fox ears or even a fox tail…”

Actually, Mu Zhian didn’t intend to bring Wei Mengrou with him at first, because the Western Regions were too strange, its will of all beings capable of washing away a person’s various desires.

Wei Mengrou’s identity was special. Mu Zhian was afraid that something might happen to her in the Western Regions.

But he didn’t expect her to have secretly followed him… If he hadn’t used his Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox body last night and charmed Wei Mengrou, and happened to smell her scent, Mu Zhian might not have even discovered that there was a third person in the room all along.

Mu Zhian sighed softly, “Since you followed me, you must have heard my conversation with Huang Manting yesterday, right?”

“I’ve already obtained the last portion of the great luck. As long as Sister Mengrou successfully devours this great luck, the misfortune within your body should be completely purged.”

Wei Mengrou sneered, “Are you simply for the great luck, or are you interested in Miss Huang’s body? From the moment she entered the room last night, you’ve been staring at someone’s feet, haven’t you? How perverted.”

“If she asked you to lick her feet or something to please her, would you also do it?”

Mmm… although Sister Mengrou was scolding him, why did it feel like she was rewarding him?

Mu Zhian smiled, “That’s just a man’s simple physiological reaction. If it were Sister Mengrou, I would also keep looking at you… just like now.”

As he spoke, he truly admired the maid’s beautiful figure under her yellow dress, and her exquisite, snow-white, long legs.

Tsk tsk… No matter how many times he looked, she was still so perfect.

“Can you stop staring at people with such lewd eyes?”

Wei Mengrou showed a look of disgust and glanced at the young man with disdain.

However, just then, she noticed the young master’s appearance silently shrinking.

Then, a pair of fox ears appeared on his head… Chapters fırst released on novel-fire.ɴet

As if hearing her own heartbeat at that moment, the disdainful words the maid was about to say were swallowed back, and she couldn’t help but stare at young Mu Zhian.

Although she had witnessed everything last night… she could only watch from afar, not touch. But now, the young master was right before her.

She could reach out and touch those fox ears… and even do whatever she wanted.

Wei Mengrou subconsciously gripped her skirt, as if trying to restrain herself.

She slowly approached, staring at the little young master.

Finally, she slowly extended her hand and placed it on one of the fox ears.

In an instant, the cold expression on her face seemed to melt, replaced by a fleeting look of happiness.

Mmm, the bad things the young master did have nothing to do with the past young master…

After silently comforting herself, she naturally began stroking those fox ears.

Sister Mengrou is so easy to understand… Mu Zhian sighed inwardly. If he had known it was this simple to win her over, he wouldn’t have racked his brains before.

And he could even enjoy her gentle embrace… Mu Zhian rested his head on Wei Mengrou’s full and perky bosom and suddenly said, “By the way, Sister Mengrou.”

Inhaling the faint fragrance from the maid, Mu Zhian said, “After today, I’ll give you the last portion of the great luck.”

“With that, your agreement with Mu Wange… no, with the Sect Master, will be truly fulfilled.”

Mu Wange had said before that as long as she stayed by his side, she could suppress her misfortune, even eliminate it in the end.

And now, this agreement was about to be fulfilled.

Wei Mengrou was slightly stunned. Looking at the little young master in her arms, she hesitated for a moment, then a faint blush appeared on her face, “When you give me the great luck, can you maintain your current form?”

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Then, seeing Wei Mengrou’s relieved expression, he suddenly leaned close to the maid’s ear and whispered, “So Sister Mengrou is also a pervert?”

Wei Mengrou’s expression instantly froze.

“Alright, you can meditate here for a while. I have to find someone to see what’s written on this letter.”

Before Wei Mengrou could react, Mu Zhian quickly left her embrace and returned to his original form.

Since this letter was written in the Western Regions’ Buddhist script, and also had some kind of Buddhist blessing, perhaps Bodhisattva Miao Yi would know how to decipher it.

“In the 47th year of Kaiwen, the rule power of my and the other eight Forbidden Lands has completely covered the Nine Provinces. After much deliberation, I chose the Western Regions as the ruling place of the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation. But in the 143rd year of Kaiwen, I and the other Forbidden Zone Lords suffered a devastating blow.”

Kaiwen… should be the past name of the Nine Provinces. After tens of thousands of years of evolution, it’s now called the Nine Provinces… Mu Zhian thought inwardly.

“A mysterious Dao Integration Realm expert acted. We controlled the forbidden rules, but we were still no match for her. In the end, we had no choice but to retreat and lie dormant. But it didn’t really matter. A Dao Integration Realm expert could only live for five thousand years. After five thousand years of seclusion, after she died of old age, we could emerge again.”

“In the 73rd year of Yuxu, after five thousand years, I and my old friend, the Eternal Celestial, and the others emerged again, but she was still alive… For the first time, the Eternal Celestial discovered that the curse inflicted by that woman could never be erased, and the wounds she inflicted could never heal.”

“In the 30th year of Taigu, that woman was injured for the first time, but not by us. She seemed to be seriously ill. I judged that she wouldn’t live to the next life, so I chose to lie dormant.”

“In the 70th year of Tiansheng, for the first time in my life, I felt fear… because that woman was still alive. She was like a lingering ghost, immortal and indestructible. A Forbidden Zone Lord seemed to have investigated her identity, but forgot all memories related to her upon returning to the Forbidden Land.”

“I also began to gradually forget the scene of fighting against that woman, forgot what she looked like. I don’t know how much longer this memory can exist, so I’m writing down everything I know in this book, using the Western Regions’ Buddhist script to resist the gradually shielding destiny.”

“I just hope that the me who sees this letter in the future will believe everything I’ve written, and… don’t stay in the Forbidden Lands, go and live an ordinary life.”

“In the 10th year of the Nine Provinces, I know that woman’s identity. She is a true goddess, and also a fallen witch. She was born in the Chaos Lands, the mother of all living beings in the Nine Provinces… Every time she emerged, she was in a daze, only pushing us back. Only this time, she personally killed the master of the Forbidden Land of Life. After that, she seemed to have sent someone into the Forbidden Land of Life, but I don’t want to get close to her, because she will notice me.”

“I’ve always wondered why the Heavenly Dao would create the Nine Forbidden Lands and give us the forbidden rules. Now I finally understand.”

Mu Zhian’s gaze fixed on the last sentence.

“The Heavenly Dao has desires. It paid a great price to obtain something… and it also fears this woman.”

In the quiet meditation room, Mu Zhian looked at the content of the letter, translated by the Western Regions’ Buddhist script, and fell into deep thought.

The female Bodhisattva still stood on the lotus flower, quietly watching Mu Zhian, “Is this the only page? There should be more content. I need to see the rest to translate it all for you.”

Mu Zhian gently shook his head, “Not for now… After I go to the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation, I think I can find the remaining page.”

The female Bodhisattva fell silent.

Mu Zhian looked at the content of the letter and pondered.

Undoubtedly, this should be a record left by the Lord of Reincarnation in the past… The Lord of Reincarnation was constantly forgetting his past memories. He was afraid he would forget everything, so he wrote down everything he knew in a letter and sealed it with the Western Regions’ Buddhist script.

“From the time the Lord of Reincarnation wrote this until now, at least fifty thousand years have passed,” Mu Zhian murmured to himself.

When the Nine Provinces were first created, people called it ‘Kaiwen’. At that time, there were no Dao Integration Realm experts, and there was constant war. Almost no immortal dynasty could be stabilized, and the cards were reshuffled every ten thousand years or so. From Yuxu, Taigu, Tiansheng, to the current Nine Provinces period, at least fifty thousand years had passed.

“The mysterious expert the Lord of Reincarnation mentioned, plus the technique that makes people forget her appearance… it should be the Sect Master, no doubt.”

“The question is, the ‘goddess’ the Lord of Reincarnation wrote about at the end should refer to the Primordial Witch and the Primordial Mother… They’re clearly three different people, why did he mistake them for the same person?”

“Either his judgment was wrong, or there’s something I don’t know, a connection between the Sect Master and the Primordial Witch.”

Mu Zhian frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

Just then, he faintly heard a vibration from the Heavenly Court above the Nine Provinces.

“What is Yuanluo doing now?”

Mu Zhian’s eyes flickered slightly. After bidding farewell to Bodhisattva Miao Yi, he quickly returned to his room.

Then his spiritual sense entered the Heavenly Court.

Deep within the Southern Wilderness.

A quiet place filled with a holy light.

A jade-like statue of a woman stood in this space.

Beneath the statue, a ball of light emitted a soft white glow.

A witch was curled up within the ball of light, her silvery-white hair cascading down like seaweed.

Black mist filled the air, and a seductive and graceful figure could be vaguely seen through the mist.

She should have been in a quiet slumber…

But at a certain moment, she slowly opened her eyes.
