You're Playing with Fire

Luo Tian's confinement did not affect the intensification of the changes in the world.

Countless ancient heritages and secret realms have gradually broken free of their seals and returned to the mortal world.

The most representative example is the existence of the seven forbidden zones of life.

The so-called forbidden zone of life.

Originating from ancient times and even the primitive era.

Certain unspeakable taboos exist, dominating a corner of the world with invincible power, forming a desolate and ancient forbidden zone.

Now, with the restoration of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Imprint shows signs of solidifying and taking shape.

The ancient geniuses and powerful figures in the forbidden zone also broke free from their seals.

It seems they want to compete with the people of their time.

At least that's how it is in the eyes of the vast majority of cultivators.

Seven forbidden zones of life suddenly appeared, stirring up storms on the ancient continent and forcefully suppressing the entire era.

As representatives of prestigious and orthodox schools, the Three Sects and Four Sacred Sites were the most affected.

Especially the Xuantian Sect, which is the leader of the righteous path.

They have been subjected to severe targeting.

The two sides were locked in a fierce struggle, their rivalry bordering on hostility.

Many sects and factions adopted a wait-and-see attitude.

It's not that the forbidden zone of life isn't scary, but the Xuan Tian Sect has a Xuan Empress.

In the conflict with the forbidden zone of life, Empress Xuan displayed a powerful cultivation level that was almost at the level of the Dao, far surpassing all cultivators in this world.

Perhaps the only thing separating him from becoming a true emperor is merging with the Heavenly Heart Mark.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an unconventional path to enlightenment.

Even the forbidden zones of life had to temporarily avoid the wrath of such a powerful empress.

All of the above information was heard by Luo Tian from others.

After all, it means going to jail.

He now regularly performs filial duties to Empress Xuan in exchange for rare moments of leisure.

She did consider using pouting and tantrums to regain her freedom.

Unfortunately, Empress Xuan was no longer buying into that.

And they also have something to say.

"The forbidden zone of life tried every means to kill you. Now that your cultivation is sealed, you can rest peacefully in the back mountain. I will take care of the rest of the affairs."

"If you insist on leaving the mountain, then wait until your cultivation has recovered and surpassed mine."

"..."

Luo Tian was speechless.

If he surpasses Empress Xuan, doesn't that mean he's going to become emperor?

Fortunately, in order to prepare for the possible final battle, he did not need to leave the sect and go down the mountain for training.

Simply follow the steps and retreat into seclusion to comprehend the Tao.

That's what they say.

In reality, Luo Tian was busier than expected.

Whenever it was time for outdoor exercise, many people would come looking for him.

There was the Palace Master of Tianji Palace who laughed strangely all day long, as well as the Holy Son of Tianshu and others who took a break from their busy schedules.

That's fine.

There were even visiting guests from the Sacred Land of Creation and the Misty Immortal Sect.

No, do I know you guys that well?

Luo Tian complained a lot.

Of course, it was just something I was thinking; I still had to go through the motions.

With a formidable enemy at hand, we must make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

As for the people who come here most frequently...

Naturally...

"Senior brother, senior brother, guess what they brought you?"

"Let me see... Hehe, my junior sister brought me charcoal to help me withstand the cold, knowing that winter snow is approaching..."

"No, this is someone else's roasted Eight Treasures Chicken."

"...As far as I know, Eight Treasures Chicken isn't made with black-boned chicken, is it?"

"What? Black-boned chicken? Senior Brother, you should try some!"

"..."

Luo Tian glanced at the mysterious, dark object in the basket.

Then he met his junior sister's expectant gaze.

Are you sure you're not trying to murder your senior brother?

Just then.

Chirping sounds came from outside the cave.

A plump bluebird, carrying a message from afar, burst in.

As expected, the message came from the sacred land of Yaochi.

After the Peach Banquet.

The bluebird was recruited and became a messenger of the sacred land of Yaochi.

There were two letters sent this time.

One of the letters was sent by the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

The first half is about discussions related to enlightenment, while the second half is about matters related to ancient relics.

Luo Tian entrusted the task of collecting the fragments of the lost treasure to the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

The other letter was written by the Holy Mother of Yaochi.

However, he was apologizing for the attack on Luo Tian during the Peach Banquet.

She also expressed her hope that it would not affect Luo Tian's marriage, and said that she would try her best to clear up the misunderstanding with Empress Xuan and facilitate the marriage between Luo Tian and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

"Senior Brother, what did the message say?"

"It was just a simple greeting."

Luo Tian calmly put the letter away.

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang pouted and spoke eloquently.

"Even if Senior Brother doesn't say it, people have already guessed it. They definitely want to trick Senior Brother into going to the Jade Pool Holy Land, and it's even a mother and daughter going together."

"Junior Sister, don't talk nonsense."

Luo Tian tapped his junior sister's head.

"The Holy Mother of Yaochi is a respected elder of ours, and we cannot speak ill of her in such a way."

If this misunderstanding gets out, it will be a huge problem.

It was all because of the awkward scene at the Peach Banquet that night.

Even now, the people of Yaochi Holy Land are still refused entry into the sect by Empress Xuan.

After hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang still looked suspicious.

Luo Tian was both annoyed and amused.

My own junior sister is really jealous even when she's not jealous.

"Hard to say..."

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang muttered softly.

Luo Tian didn't explain, but instead tried the Eight Treasures Chicken that his junior sister had brought.

Although it looks like a culinary disaster.

But it does taste like a piece of charcoal.

The fact that one can make Eight Treasures Chicken like this requires a rather unusual talent.

The bluebird next to it was actually drooling.

It's really puzzling.

Luo Tian casually handed her a chicken wing.

The bluebird wolfed down its food.

I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

"..."

"Senior Brother, how does it taste?"

The Holy Maiden of Yaoguang tilted her head back, blinking her eyes.

After a moment's thought, Luo Tian chose to change the subject between telling the truth and a white lie.

"Junior Sister, do you feel like someone is spying on this place?"

"Wasn't it the sect leader who was spying on our senior brother?"

"It can't be the sect leader."

Luo Tian shook his head firmly.

He only wore the talisman of Empress Xuan on his waist.

With Xuan Hou's cultivation level, she could sense Luo Tian's situation at any time without anyone noticing.

Luo Tian noticed a faint, almost imperceptible sensation.

It was more like they were eavesdropping from a corner.

who can that be?

……

"Senior Sister Tianxuan."

The Holy Maiden of Jade Balance bowed obediently.

"Um."

Tianxuan Saintess nodded.

A forced smile appeared on his cold face.

"Junior Sister Yuheng, today I will continue to guide you in your sword practice in place of your senior brother."

"Thank you, senior sister."

The Jade Balance Saintess then followed the Heavenly Pivot Saintess to learn swordsmanship.

Once things have come to a conclusion.

Tianxuan Saintess left Yuheng Palace.

Distracted, she came to her senses when she found herself in the forbidden area behind the mountain.

Looking at the secluded cave before her, she longed to go inside and visit her beloved senior brother.

Unfortunately, as usual, other people's voices could be heard coming from inside.

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan hesitated for a moment.

Continue to remain hidden and eavesdrop.

Over time, she had gotten used to doing this, at least she could hear her senior's voice, which was some consolation.

Most of the time, it was the junior sister Yaoguang who was bothering the senior brother.

"Senior brother, senior brother, look how the fire is burning!"

"Junior sister, you're playing with fire."

Occasionally, news of the Jade Pool Holy Land will also surface.

"Father, Mother has sent you a letter!"

"Don't shout so loudly, it won't be good if other people hear you."

Furthermore, when the back mountain is closed off, the entire space-time is blocked, making it impossible to approach.

The Holy Maiden Tianxuan was powerless and could only linger outside the cave.

A dull ache lingered in my heart.

It also evoked a kind of indescribable sense of excitement.

"Junior Sister Yaoguang is seducing Senior Brother; the Holy Maiden of Yaochi has a child with Senior Brother; and so does the Sect Master..."

"They all just want to keep their senior brother by their side."

"Unlike me, I only feel sorry for my senior brother."

Tianxuan Saintess thought to herself.

She understood her senior brother better than anyone else.

My senior brother values ​​relationships the most; he is loyal to her without any pretense.

Others could only use their status, influence, and strength to forcibly bind their senior brother to their side.

But this is not a long-term solution.

With my senior's talent, he will break free from this cage sooner or later.

Finally, he returned to his own side.

because.

Her senior classmate liked her.

This confidence comes from so many years of experience.

These days, the Holy Maiden Tianxuan has been handling sect affairs in place of Luo Tian.

She wanted to win back Luo Tian's heart.

I would give anything for this.

Tianxuan Saintess felt that now was about the right time.

She is qualified to meet her beloved senior brother.

then.

Many years have passed.

She finally took a step forward.
