So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

The Lock of Desolate Time, Mu Zhian had never seen this ancestral weapon before, and had never even seen the relevant introduction in any book.

However, he had come into contact with similar magic weapons before when he was in the Liang Yi Sect.

The Tao practiced by Huabaofeng is related to the enlightenment of the 'weapon spirit'.

Judging from the current performance of the Lock of Desolate Time, it is likely that it is also a divine object with a 'weapon spirit'.

This golden chain looked like an ordinary string, surrounding Ye Lingxuan, and it looked very 'intimate' and gently touched her face.

"This Lock of Desolate Time seems to be an object inspired by the spirit of the weapon?" Mu Zhian looked at the Lock of Desolate Time and asked.

Ye Lingxuan gently stroked the Lock of Desolate Time and nodded: "Every time the inheritance is opened, the Lock of Desolate Time will choose its own owner. The one who can be recognized by it will be the next owner of the restricted area by default."

The Lock of Desolation Time surrounded Ye Lingxuan, and after a while, it quickly left her and wandered around Mu Zhian, looking equally very intimate.

"It seems to be very affectionate to me too?" Mu Zhian discovered a blind spot.

He has never seen this restricted area ancestor artifact. Why is this thing so 'friendly' to him?

"In a sense, the Lock of Desolate Time can communicate with the master's mind." Ye Lingxuan said.

Mu Zhian was thoughtful and reached out to gently touch this ordinary-looking golden chain.

In other words, Sister Lingxuan likes me, so Lock of Desolate Time will also like me...?

It should be said that it is indeed the ancestor of the restricted area. It is indeed different from ordinary artifacts.

At this time, the Locks of Desolate Time suddenly rioted inexplicably, wrapped around Mu Zhian's body for an instant, and then quickly bound his hands and wrists.

Mu Zhian reacted very quickly and wanted to pull out his hand in an instant, but unexpectedly noticed that his spiritual energy quickly returned to the cauldron the moment it was about to surge.

"Can this Lock of Desolate Time restrict the spiritual energy of others?" Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, realizing the secret.

"It can limit other people's spiritual energy, and the time centered on it will be changed. A day in the eyes of Brother Mu may only be an hour in the eyes of outsiders." Ye Lingxuan's small red lips were slightly Zhang, his eyes were fixed on Mu Zhian.

The Lock of Desolate Time, like the ancestral land inherited from the Forbidden Zone, can slow down the entire time.

However, the former is an ancestral weapon, while the latter is the ‘cave heaven’.

"Hmm... So, the Lock of Desolate Time is a time pause in a small area?" Mu Zhian thought of some bad images in his mind.

Then, he seemed to have thought of something important again, and looked up at the girl standing in front of him.

"By the way, you just said that the Lock of Desolate Time decides its actions based on the owner's thoughts...?"

Doesn't this mean that the Lock of Desolate Time will wrap around him just now, and that was Ye Lingxuan's idea...?

Ye Lingxuan winked playfully: "The Lock of Desolate Time will occasionally act without authorization. Not all actions are my ideas."

"I don't have any bad intentions towards Brother Mu." She continued. With her pretty face, innocent expression, and even her cute clothes, people who didn't know Ye Lingxuan would probably just think of him as a person. The flawless 'goddess'.

But it is obvious that the Lock of Desolate Time will restrain Mu Zhian at this moment. It must be the idea that Ye Lingxuan just had.

Mu Zhian stared at Ye Lingxuan's smiling face, his eyes full of doubt.

After being stared at for a long time, Ye Lingxuan sighed quietly and said: "Okay... Actually, I was really thinking about whether to herd my brother to the Yaochi Holy Land just now."

Ye Lingxuan is naturally very confident about her appearance.

Although she behaved very low-key in Tianxuan City in the past, her appearance and temperament still attracted many suitors.

When Liang Yi Sect returned to the restricted area before, the number of suitors suddenly increased significantly.

However, facing Fairy Qingqun, Ye Lingxuan still felt a sense of crisis.

In terms of beauty, she is naturally not inferior to the Fairy in Qingqun, but this empress is obviously not the kind of person who will gradually talk about fair competition with you.

This can be seen from the way Fairy Qingqun held Mu Zhian forcefully and kissed him.

Fairy Qingqun dared to be so unscrupulous in the restricted area. If Mu Zhian went to the Yaochi Holy Land later...

Seemingly thinking of some bad scenes, Ye Lingxuan shook her head gently, as if she wanted to clear away the messy scenes in her mind.

At this time, Ye Lingxuan suddenly felt the warm touch of a palm on her cheek. She raised her head slightly and saw Mu Zhian's hands bound by the Locks of Desolation were raised, gently stroking her pretty face.

"Sister Lingxuan, you should give me a little more trust."

"I have promised Senior Qingdi before, do you want me to go back on my word?" Mu Zhian asked softly.

With a somewhat complicated look in Ye Lingxuan's eyes, she raised her head and glanced at Mu Zhian, and said, "What if Brother Mu goes and can't come back?"

With the appearance of the fairy in the green skirt, if she returns to the Taoist realm after reshaping the cauldron, will she really let Mu Zhi'an leave?

Ye Lingxuan couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Mu Zhian shook his head helplessly: "No matter what, I will come back to you."

At the end of his sentence, he stared lovingly into Ye Lingxuan's eyes: "Besides, do you think I am willing to abandon the eldest lady in our restricted area?"

Under Mu Zhian's affectionate and sincere gaze, Ye Lingxuan's eyes remained unchanged. She raised her snow-white chin reservedly and elegantly and said, "Who knows whether Brother Mu will be fascinated by Sister Fairy then? ”

"and……"

Ye Lingxuan paused, a pair of autumn-like peach blossom eyes reflected the young man's face, her fingertips lightly touched his lips: "Brother Mu seemed to have said before that if I see you being intimate with other girls, , can I punish you?"

A gust of wind blew through the mountain forest, rustling the leaves, causing Ye Lingxuan's skirt to lift slightly in the wind. She was wearing a pair of small embroidered shoes with cloud patterns on her feet, revealing her white and smooth insteps, and her figure was slim and elegant.

How could she still remember... After a brief hesitation, Mu Zhian calmed down his emotions well, looked up at Ye Lingxuan's eyes, and sighed softly: "I deserve this too, sister Lingxuan. You can punish me however you want."

Regarding punishment, Mu Zhian didn't mind very much... because he knew that Ye Lingxuan's character would not do anything too outrageous.

Rather, he was quite looking forward to it.

For example, Ye Lingxuan asked him to lie on the grass nearby, and then was stepped on by the future restricted area Queen Ye, looking at him with that kind of joyful eyes...

Hmm... No, this seems to be a sentiment rather than a punishment.

Ye Lingxuan glanced at Mu Zhian secretly, frowned slightly, and said softly: "I always feel that Brother Mu is thinking of something bad."

Then, she looked at Mu Zhian and continued: "Before letting go of Brother Mu, I want to ask you one more question."

"Brother Mu, who do you think is more beautiful, Sister Xianzi or me?"

Mu Zhian looked back at Ye Lingxuan and said softly: "You are cuter."

Ye Lingxuan's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and the corners of her mouth outlined a slight arc.

Mu Zhian always stared at Ye Lingxuan tenderly, never looking away.

He just said 'cute', not 'pretty'.

After all, it is still not certain whether Fairy Qingqun is sleeping or not. Mu Zhian even seriously doubts that the empress has never slept since she entered her natural furnace.

The current answer is not perfect, but at least it pleases Ye Lingxuan and does not offend Fairy Qingqun.

When he glanced at the Lock of Desolation Time that had left his body and surrounded Ye Lingxuan, Mu Zhi'an slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got it done...

The threat of this Lock of Desolate Time is too great.

Ye Lingxuan, who is in the Qi Training Realm, can threaten the God Refining Realm... If we reach the Return to Void Realm in the future, wouldn't it be possible to limit even the Enlightenment Realm to a certain time?

After all, he is the ‘protagonist’, and as expected, leapfrog combat is standard.

Mu Zhian couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Then, he looked at the Lock of Desolate Time, and for no apparent reason, he thought of what some of the girls around him had in common.

Fairy Qingqun's vines that just dealt with the thunder tribulation can absorb spiritual energy, Sister Lingxuan's Lock of Desolate Time can bind other people's spiritual energy... Ruoxi's Concentric Lock can directly tell whether a person is lying.

Hmm... They all seem to have "locks"?

Although it should be a coincidence, if I really end up with them in the future... I have to take precautions in advance.

While Mu Zhian was thinking about such things, Ye Lingxuan raised his head and looked towards the sea to the north of the restricted area.

In the sky in that direction, there were rolling dark clouds at the moment, and among the dark clouds, there seemed to be a soft golden light flashing, making the dark clouds in the sky shake violently.

Mu Zhian looked up and said, "What is that?"

"The inheritance of the restricted area." Ye Lingxuan said.

"It seems that the ancestral land should be opened."

Once she accepts the inheritance of the restricted area, her cultivation speed will skyrocket, and after that...

As if she had thought of something, the girl couldn't help but have a little hope in her eyes.

Then, she quickly calmed down her thoughts, turned to look at the young man beside her, and said, "Brother Mu, do you want to go and have a look together? Maybe you can also get some inheritance from the ancestral land."

Mu Zhian pondered for a moment, nodded and said with a smile, "That's fine."

As we all know, people who are close to the protagonist can basically share a sip of soup with the protagonist.

Mu Zhian didn't care about the soup. After all, he could slowly make up for it with Ye Lingxuan in the future.

However... he is still very curious about the inheritance of the restricted area itself.

…

Within the restricted area, the status of the ancestral land is undoubtedly the most sacred and inviolable.

As for the reason, it is related to the rumors that have been circulated in the restricted area in the past.

According to rumors, this ancestral land of the forbidden area seems to be a cave created by the first queen of the forbidden area, the reincarnated queen.

She was a woman of unparalleled magnificence. Although her traces have been erased by time, she left her legacy to future generations.

In this ancestral land, every disciple with the forbidden bloodline can receive the inheritance from the ancestral land.

Every few years, the ancestral land is opened to the public.

However, this year's ancestral land inheritance is the most lively one ever.

The reason is attributed to the birth of a saint in the restricted area who is most consistent with the inheritance of the ancestral land.

That is, the future Queen of the Forbidden Zone, Ye Lingxuan.

This was a scene worthy of being recorded in history, and it naturally made the disciples and even the elders in the restricted area very concerned.

At this moment, in front of a huge sea area, many people have gathered in front of the ancestral land, communicating lively.

"I heard from the elders of the clan that today's thunder tribulation is the physical tribulation of the powerful people in the Hedao realm. Is this true?" A forbidden area disciple asked with a somewhat curious tone.

Although he did not see the thunder tribulation of the Green Emperor at the scene, the terrifying aura at that time was probably noticed by all the cultivators in the entire Dongzhou, not to mention the forbidden area.

Some powerful people in the Return to Void Realm, even in other places in Jiuzhou, can feel the vast aura of thunder tribulation.

"This time the ancestral land will be opened in advance, it seems to be affected by the thunder tribulation, right?" Another forbidden area disciple said.

If it were normal times, most people would be discussing the affairs of the ancestral land at this time, but the previous movement of the Green Emperor's tribulation was too loud, which would inevitably attract people's attention.

"Ye Gan, you seemed to be there at the time, right? Was it a thunder tribulation in the Hedao realm?" A forbidden area disciple asked.

For a moment, many people looked at the pride of the restricted area.

Ye Gan just nodded lightly and stopped talking.

The scene he saw outside the reincarnation pool at that time was such a huge blow to the great genius in the restricted area that he is still a little autistic now.

Isn't the lifelong pursuit of a cultivator to resonate with the Great Dao after enlightenment and enter the state of unity?

However... although Mu Zhian's realm is average, he has long been holding on to the thigh of the Green Emperor. Even before that, the Green Emperor took the initiative to kiss Mu Zhian...

Thinking of his own lady who is also obsessed with Mu Zhian... It is impossible not to discourage people.

What 'women will only affect my cultivation speed' is a lie. Who would not be jealous of a talented and beautiful female cultivator?

At this time, someone suddenly asked: "Do you think Mu Zhian will come to this ancestral inheritance?"

"What is he doing? He is not from the restricted area. Is he here to watch the show?" Someone on the side couldn't help but complain.

"That's not necessarily true. Since he has been recognized by the Reincarnation Pool, are you so sure that the Ancestral Land will not recognize him?" A female cultivator on the side immediately refuted.

Ye Qing, a beautiful woman in a blue skirt, was as elegant and charming as a young woman. She said softly, "Since the Reincarnation Pool has recognized Mu Zhian before, the Ancestral Land may really recognize him."

"Yes, judging from Mr. Mu's previous performance, there may be hope." Immediately, another person spoke up to support Mu Zhian.

If you listen carefully, it is not difficult to distinguish that these people who spoke up are basically female cultivators.

These restricted area disciples were silent for a while.

Among these people who spoke up, some were their childhood sweethearts, some were their sisters or even younger sisters...

In this case, they naturally couldn't say anything more.

I don't know what means that guy used to get along with so many girls at the same time...

These people naturally didn't expect that while they were working hard to practice, Mu Zhian was secretly working hard to "open up wasteland" and make friends with the tribesmen in the restricted area during this period.

Shortly after this topic ended, someone suddenly shouted, "It's the young lady... She's here too!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Ye Lingxuan walking towards them from a distance... and the boy beside her.

... Mu Zhian.

Because of what Ye Qing said just now, many people present at this moment couldn't help but feel a little more expectant when they saw Mu Zhian.

The Forbidden Zone Ancestral Land is a sacred place where only those with the Forbidden Zone bloodline can receive inheritance. But before, Mu Zhian did not have the Forbidden Zone bloodline but was also recognized by the Reincarnation Pool.

Now no one knows whether the Ancestral Land will recognize Mu Zhian.

"Sister Lingxuan is so beautiful, why are they all staring at me...?"

Mu Zhian noticed that everyone's eyes were looking at him intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes couldn't help but have a little more strangeness.

Ye Lingxuan turned her head to glance at Mu Zhian, and said teasingly: "Brother Mu is more popular than me."

"You should know why they are looking at me, right?" Mu Zhian gently pinched Ye Lingxuan's face.

"They just want to see if I can get the recognition of the ancestral land."

"Then Brother Mu, just give it a try. There's nothing to lose, right?" Ye Lingxuan said with a smile.

"And... maybe Brother Mu can really get the recognition of the ancestral land?"

Mu Zhian looked up at the round archway that was a faint blue color not far ahead, and then nodded slightly: "That's right."

"Since they care so much, let's give it a try."

After all, he also cared a little about whether he could get the recognition of the ancestral land.
