Chapter 640: Chapter 640

The air was filled with a strange silence.

At this moment, Mu Zhian was still immersed in the soft embrace.

He wasn’t really asleep, nor was he pretending. After absorbing a portion of Shang Yanfei’s immortal rhyme, his cauldron had successfully assimilated it.

His spiritual sense was no longer in his body, but before the throne of the Heavenly Court.

That drop of Immortal Ascension Realm essence blood floated in mid-air, its color not red, but a pale, soft gold.

Just gazing at this drop of essence blood was enough to make one’s heart palpitate.

“With every realm advancement, I feel an even greater sense of awe for this drop of essence blood,” Mu Zhian sighed with heartfelt admiration, looking at the drop of essence blood before him.

He remembered that when he was not yet at the Soul Transformation Realm, upon seeing this drop of essence blood, he was only surprised by its immense power.

Come to think of it, it was truly a feat for him to have been able to refine this drop of essence blood for his own use.

Even a Dao Integration Realm expert probably couldn’t refine it.

Mu Zhian had only succeeded with the help of his Innate Celestial Furnace.

He extended his hand, and the drop of essence blood floated into his palm.

The immortal rhyme he had just obtained from Shang Yanfei silently flowed into the essence blood.

“The speed of nourishing the essence blood is much faster than with Heavenly Court Spiritual Energy… The Primordial Mother’s immortal rhyme is truly astonishing,” a crisp and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind him.

Yuanluo stood with her arms crossed, lazily leaning against a pillar, watching Mu Zhian’s actions.

“What, do you also want her immortal rhyme?” Mu Zhian asked.

He wasn’t surprised by Yuanluo’s appearance. Yuanluo knew everything that happened in the Heavenly Court, so it wasn’t strange for her to know he would be here.

“It is indeed a very alluring immortal rhyme… especially after being enhanced by your Innate Celestial Furnace, even I’m a little tempted,” Yuanluo sat in the void, her white dress revealing her tender white feet, swinging them carelessly, her beautiful red eyes filled with sincere admiration. “If it weren’t for the risk of being tainted by your cauldron’s Spiritual Energy and developing ‘humanity’, I would be quite tempted.”

The Primordial Mother’s immortal rhyme, besides Mu Zhian, probably no one else in this world had obtained it.

“You already know the Primordial Mother’s identity?” Mu Zhian asked.

“I’ve been in your body all along, of course I know what’s been happening outside.”

Yuanluo glanced at him and sighed softly, “I just didn’t expect that woman, Shang Yanfei, to be so deep.”

“I thought her goal was to transcend and ascend in place of the Primordial Mother, but I never thought she was the Primordial Mother.”

In the past, she had warned Mu Zhian to be careful of Shang Yanfei because she couldn’t see through her.

Mu Zhian’s face showed a thoughtful expression, but then, as if realizing something, he abruptly turned his head, “Wait… so you also know what happened in the Heavenly Palace just now?”

After all, he was in Sect Master Sister’s embrace just now… This was too embarrassing, wasn’t it?

Yuanluo rolled her eyes at Mu Zhian and said faintly, “I would like to, but she sensed my presence and directly blocked my connection to the outside world.”

“But it’s not hard to guess what happened. You must have done something intimate with her, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have such a dense immortal rhyme on you…”

“Tsk tsk, if the people of the Nine Provinces knew you were intimate with the mother of all things… I wonder what they would think,” Yuanluo sighed.

The New Heavenly Dao had no emotions, but the ‘personality’ she had created by combining the personalities of many people did have emotions.

At this moment, Yuanluo was truly curious about how the Nine Provinces would react if this news got out.

She was teasing Mu Zhian, but when she finished speaking, she noticed Mu Zhian looking at the silver-haired loli with a strange expression.

It seemed that little Yuanluo didn’t know that no one in this world could be truly intimate with the Primordial Mother… At least, he couldn’t for now.

Because no one could withstand the Primordial Spiritual Energy and her immortal rhyme.

No matter what, after learning that he hadn’t been socially executed, Mu Zhian’s mood improved considerably.

He looked at the drop of essence blood, which was emitting a holy light, in his palm.

“It seems it will still take a few more days for this drop of essence blood to fully recover.”

Didn’t that mean… he still needed to obtain more Primordial Spiritual Energy from Sect Master Sister? Thɪs chapter is updated by nοvelfire.net

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian couldn’t help but sigh softly, “It seems I’ll have to work hard for a few more days to repair this drop of essence blood.”

Yuanluo couldn’t help but roll her eyes, giving him a disdainful look, “You’re complaining even after getting a good deal.”

Her gaze fell on the drop of essence blood, “If you can transcend and ascend in a short time, perhaps you won’t have to fear the Heavenly Dao anymore.”

Mu Zhian smiled. Just as he spoke, he couldn’t help but let out a milky burp.

Yuanluo looked at the young man suspiciously, “Did you eat something just now?”

Mu Zhian coughed lightly, a rare look of embarrassment on his face, “Ahem… After reaching Core Formation, one can rely on Spiritual Energy for sustenance, but occasionally, I still want to eat something to satisfy my cravings.”

Noticing the suspicion in Yuanluo’s eyes, Mu Zhian changed the subject in time, “Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’ll infuse the remaining Primordial Spiritual Energy into the essence blood, then I should go back.”

Yuanluo rolled her eyes, “You’ve completely forgotten about me after getting other women, you scumbag.”

She waved her hand and added, “Cultivators can go without sleep, but if their spiritual power is depleted, they still need to meditate and rest. You should take care of your body.”

Hearing this, Mu Zhian just shook his head and smiled, “It’s fine. With the replenishment of Primordial Spiritual Energy, I’ll recover quickly.”

It had to be said, no wonder the Primordial Mother was called the Mother… Her Spiritual Energy, and even her immortal rhyme, could heal a person’s damaged body and even spirit.

And it could also purify a tired mind.

Come to think of it, I’m a little hungry again…

I should finish things here quickly and go back to Sect Master Sister to continue absorbing Primordial Spiritual Energy…

Just thinking about it, a small sense of anticipation arose in his heart…

Mu Zhian opened his palm and slowly infused the Primordial Spiritual Energy into the drop of essence blood.

His heart was already looking forward to returning to the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible.

Deep within the Heavenly Palace.

Countless paper cranes flew gracefully through the Heavenly Palace. A closer look would reveal that each paper crane seemed to have something written on it.

A fairytale-like atmosphere.

Although there were four people present, not a sound could be heard in the Heavenly Palace at this moment.

Until after an unknown amount of time, Yao Meng said in a soft tone, “I didn’t expect the ‘mother’ who created the Nine Provinces would have the leisure to live in seclusion in the Nine Provinces for tens of thousands of years as the Sect Master of the Two Polarities Sect, playing with life.”

“Everyone was deceived by you.”

And during this time, Shang Yanfei even had the leisure to write a book, The Art of Managing Your Husband.

Through that book, Yao Meng had learned a lot of knowledge… and even techniques.

Shang Yanfei gently caressed the ‘sleeping’ young man’s face, her eyelids lowered, her voice gentle, “You should have already seen that something was wrong with that body of mine when you transcended, right?”

“My spiritual sense could reside in that body, but I couldn’t leave the Two Polarities Sect. I even needed to shield destiny and cast forbidden rules within the Two Polarities Sect to conceal my aura… Many times in the past, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to act, but that I couldn’t.”

Yao Meng raised her beautiful eyes, a hint of tenderness in her green pupils, and said softly, “I just want to know, was my suppression of the First Demon Emperor also part of your initial plan?”

“Did you arrange everything and guide me from the shadows so that he could save me later?”

A gentle smile appeared on Shang Yanfei’s lips, “It seems you’re also a little suspicious of me.”

“However, I can only deduce the future, that doesn’t mean I can completely guide the course of all events… All things have their own principles. The First Demon Emperor obtaining that ring was a result of my guidance, but his later decision to attack the Eastern Continent wasn’t part of my initial plan.”

“Even an immortal can’t completely predict everything that will happen in the future.”

“In the past, you suppressed the First Demon Emperor for a thousand years for the Eastern Continent, your own spiritual sense almost dissipating. But that body of mine was already broken, and it wasn’t convenient for me to act. Therefore, I could only make him grow as quickly as possible and go to the Pilgrimage Palace to save you,” Shang Yanfei said softly.

This woman’s tone was always gentle and intellectual. A closer look would reveal the gentleness of Mu Wange in her eyes, but her temperament also had a hint of Mu Wanwan’s mystery.

A charming smile appeared on Shang Yanfei’s fair face, and she said softly, “Even if I say so, you still don’t trust me?”

Yao Meng gently shook her head, “If even the Primordial Mother, who nurtured all living beings in the Nine Provinces, cannot be trusted, then who in this world can be trusted?”

When facing Shang Yanfei, Yao Meng’s feelings were always somewhat complex.

Logically, they should all be big sharks in the fishpond, as close as sisters, and when they were in a bad mood, they would drag the fishpond master into the water to play with them.

But one day, she suddenly discovered that Shang Yanfei wasn’t a big shark, but the mastermind behind the fishpond master.

This wasn’t wrong. After all, Mu Zhian, in a sense, could be said to have been watched by Shang Yanfei as he grew up.

Even Yao Meng herself could be considered a ‘child’ of the Primordial Mother.

“What exactly is your relationship with him?” Yao Meng suddenly asked.

This time, Shang Yanfei rarely remained silent, but slightly raised her head, looking at the paper cranes flying in the Heavenly Palace.

After a long while, she said softly, “It’s hard to say. Sometimes I see him as a child, because many times in the past, his behavior wasn’t very mature… But sometimes, I feel he’s like a Dao Companion, because I love him, and I rely on him, which is how I’ve been able to get through these long years.”

The relationship between Shang Yanfei and Mu Zhian was very complex, so complex that it couldn’t be described in a few words.

Yao Meng suddenly walked slowly towards Shang Yanfei, her tall and graceful figure faintly visible in the immortal mist, a hint of charm in her heavenly, sweet voice, “No matter what kind of feeling, you’ve always loved him deeply, right?”

She came to Shang Yanfei’s front and looked at this breathtakingly beautiful woman in a snow-white dress.

The snow-white dress was slightly disheveled, and Mu Zhian, who was lying in Shang Yanfei’s arms, his ‘spiritual sense’ seemingly roaming the void, exuded a dense immortal rhyme.

Shang Yanfei gently wiped the moisture from the corner of Mu Zhian’s mouth and said gently, “Of course… I’ve always loved him deeply, even when I watched him be intimate with other women in the past.”

Yao Meng raised a delicate eyebrow, her black hair cascading down her shoulders, a deep meaning in her eyes as she glanced at Mu Zhian.

Then, she said with a smile, “That makes sense. After all, you watched him grow up, and even watched him be intimate with other women, you’ve been witnessing his growth from the past until now… You even witnessed my wedding with him.”

“It would be unreasonable to say you don’t love him.”

“However, is this feeling based more on romantic love, or the care of an elder?” Yao Meng asked casually.

Shang Yanfei gently touched her red lips with her fingertip, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, “Both, I suppose.”

Her tone was always incredibly gentle. Even when facing the Jade Empress, she didn’t show any hostility.

This was the gentleness of the Primordial Mother. All living beings in this world were her ‘children’, so she wouldn’t be hostile to the Jade Empress because of her relationship with Mu Zhian.

However, this feeling was also somewhat like a ‘main wife’ looking down at all the fish in the fishpond.

However, Yao Meng didn’t show any displeasure, but said casually, “Earlier, you gave him Primordial Spiritual Energy, right?”

“If I remember correctly, with his current Soul Transformation Realm, he shouldn’t be able to absorb such immense Primordial Spiritual Energy… How did you give it to him?”

Wei Mengrou, hearing this, also looked at Shang Yanfei, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

She was the most familiar with Primordial Spiritual Energy… Even a Dao Integration Realm expert might not be able to withstand it, let alone the young master.

Then where did the abundant Primordial Spiritual Energy in his body now come from?

Shang Yanfei said with a smile, “I just used a little trick.”

“Are you going to take him back now?” Yao Meng asked.

Shang Yanfei gently shook her head, a charming smile on her breathtakingly beautiful face.

“From the very beginning, he has never left my side.”

Yao Meng’s eyes flickered slightly, gazing into the woman’s pale golden eyes.

“You are the Primordial Mother, the mother of all living beings in the Nine Provinces. If I want to compete with you for a man, it seems a bit unreasonable… After all, even I am just a child before you.”

Shang Yanfei looked at Yao Meng with some surprise, as if not expecting her to withdraw so easily.

However, just then, Yao Meng said casually, “Speaking of which, my husband and I talked about something before.”

“He told me that when he married me that day, it was a pity that there were no parents to witness the wedding, even if it wasn’t real.”

“I thought so too at the time. It was a pity. He had never seen his parents since he was a child, and I… I never had parents from the very beginning.”

Shang Yanfei raised a delicate eyebrow and looked at Yao Meng, who was kneeling beside her, a faint smile on her face, “Since you’ve been watching him grow up… then you probably wouldn’t mind having another daughter-in-law, right?”

Shang Yanfei’s smile faltered slightly, and she looked at the fairy in the green dress before her with astonishment.

But she heard her say again in a calm and gentle voice:

“Please give your child to me.”
