The cat demon defies the heavens and is the emperor’s only beloved disciple!

Jiuyang led Mu Qing into the mysterious and solemn Jiuyang Divine Sect.

Everything here exudes a sacred atmosphere, as if every breeze and every leaf contains endless majesty and solemnity.

Mu Qing walked slowly along the road, and wherever he looked, he saw those majestic statues.

She stopped involuntarily, her eyes full of awe and piety.

She kowtowed to each one, appearing so sincere and affectionate each time.

When they stepped into the hall, Mu Qing's eyes lit up.

It was a gigantic golden statue, the incarnation of Emperor Yun Che.

The statue has a human head and a dragon body, majestic and sacred.

There is a golden dragon surrounding his body, shining with golden light, as if it will take off into the sky and soar above the sky at any time.

Yun Che's golden curly hair spread out like a golden waterfall, flowing with endless majesty and power.

Mu Qing stared at the statue quietly, with an indescribable feeling of awe in his heart.

After she finished her kowtow, she turned to look at Jiuyang.

His eyes flashed with curiosity and doubt: "Master, the Emperor is actually a golden dragon?"

Jiuyang smiled slightly and nodded: "Yes, the Emperor has great magical powers.

How could his existence be achieved through cultivation by mortals?

He possesses boundless power and wisdom, and is the most noble being in the world."

Jiuyang paused and looked at Mu Qing with a deep gaze: "You are quite interested in Emperor Zun, but this is normal.

In this world, what woman could not be fascinated by the majesty and grace of the Emperor?

His existence, like the shining stars, will always illuminate our way forward."

Jiuyang's words were full of respect and admiration for the Emperor, and Mu Qing was also in this admiration.

I felt more deeply the greatness and sacredness of the Emperor.

And True Man Jiuyang seemed to have already seen through Mu Qing's deepest desires and curiosity.

He smiled lightly, and the whisk in his hand drew a graceful arc in the air.

Yu Muqing's eyes flickered slightly, as if waking her up from her contemplation.

His resonant voice rang out like the sound of a bell.

"Mu Qing."

Mu Qing seemed to wake up from a distant dream. She slowly turned around and faced Master Jiuyang.

Those clear eyes sparkled with curiosity and awe towards this mysterious Taoist priest.

She carefully looked at the real person in front of her who didn't look old.

He held a whisk in his hand, his posture upright, like a moving painting.

He was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and a snow-white outer robe. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, as if he could fly away at any time.

He wore a tall Taoist crown, which hid his long black hair.

In the center of the Taoist crown, there was a dazzling ruby, sparkling with mysterious light.

He had a long black beard on his chin, which added a bit of majesty and solemnity to him.

Mu Qing's gaze lingered on Master Jiuyang for a long time.

Then he slowly asked: "Then what on earth did you, the Immortal, transform into?

How could he possess such an extraordinary temperament and cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Master Jiuyang smiled slightly.

He gently waved the whisk in his hand, and the movement was so elegant that even the air seemed intoxicated by it.

He said slowly: "I am just an ordinary man.

It was only because of my bad fate that I embarked on this path of cultivation.

Do good deeds and accumulate virtue in order to increase your lifespan and escape from the mundane world.

As for you, Mu Qing, as the inheritor of the Phoenix bloodline, you have a long lifespan and don't need to practice Taoism at all."

His voice was calm and profound, as if it contained endless wisdom and philosophy, which made Mu Qing fall into a long period of contemplation after hearing it.

Mu Qing was silent for a moment, as if he was making some difficult decision deep in his heart.

Finally, she knelt firmly on the ground and kowtowed three times to Master Jiuyang.

The voice was filled with great determination and respect: "Mu Qing, please accept me as your disciple.

I wish to spend the rest of my life following the Immortal and devoting myself to the cultivation of Taoism."

Jiuyang Zhenren stroked his long beard, looked at Mu Qing who lowered his head with deep eyes, and said

There was a hint of consolation in his voice: "Mu Qing, it is actually a very good choice for you to practice swordsmanship under Jun Yan.

In the future, when you ascend to heaven, you can fight alongside the Emperor.

A dragon and a phoenix become a Taoist couple, jointly protecting the six realms. Isn't this a beautiful story?"

Master Jiuyang paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something.

He sighed slightly, “However… the two of you are both fire-type, which is indeed a problem.

But you don't need to worry too much, Mu Qing, you can change your physical condition by taking more cold baths and eating yin-nourishing foods.

Foods such as bird's nest and lotus root are excellent choices for nourishing yin.

Absorbing the essence of moonlight and harmonizing the yin and yang in your body will surely be of benefit to you."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination and sincerity: "Master, Mu Qing has no intention of being with the Emperor, and even less of getting involved in the mortal world.

I am wholeheartedly devoted to the Tao, and only hope to go further and further on this path of cultivation.

I beg the Immortal to help me and accept me as his disciple."

Upon hearing this, True Man Jiuyang was slightly startled, and then a look of approval appeared on his face.

He gently helped Mu Qing up, his voice gentle but firm: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, then follow me to listen to the scriptures.

May you stay true to your original aspiration and move forward steadfastly on the path of cultivation."

When their eyes met, Jiuyang asked solemnly and seriously: "Mu Qing, since you have no intention towards the Emperor,

Is it possible that you have someone else in your heart?

Or maybe you are attracted to me, a Taoist monk?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qing immediately bowed with both hands.

With a look of panic, he explained, "Mu Qing is devoted to the Dao, and there is absolutely no trace of romantic feelings in his heart."

Jiuyang's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he immediately regained his composure and said, "I am worrying too much. The world is so big.

There are still women who are not moved by the Emperor.

Mu Qing, you are the first one."

Mu Qing followed Master Jiuyang and slowly walked into the inner hall upstairs.

In the inner hall, rows of male Taoist priests were sitting quietly on mats, with their eyes closed, concentrating, as if they were practicing something.

On the high platform, Yun Che sat upright on the throne, holding an exquisite teacup, looking leisurely and contented.

His eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything in the world.

Beside him stood a man in a purple Taoist robe. He was tall and slender.

He has a handsome face and holds a whisk in his hand, revealing an extraordinary temperament.

When the purple-robed man saw that True Man Jiuyang brought a woman,

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately walked down the stairs of the high platform to Jiuyang and performed a standard Taoist etiquette towards Jiuyang Zhenren.

He said respectfully, “Master, you are here.

I don't know why the Emperor suddenly came today and sat in your seat, Master, and refused to get up."

His gaze then fell on Mu Qing, and he turned to ask True Man Jiuyang, "Who is this female disciple..."

Jiuyang Zhenren said with joy: "She is Mu Qing,

He successfully activated his Phoenix bloodline during the introductory Purple Thunder Trial and is considered the auspicious beast of Lingshan.

Upon hearing this, the purple-robed man, Bai Yuan, nodded slightly, a flicker of realization flashing in his eyes.

He turned to Mu Qing and said, "So it's you. I had forgotten about you."

Afterwards, True Man Jiuyang turned and walked towards Yun Che, with Bai Yuan and Mu Qing following closely behind him.

True Man Jiuyang walked up to Yun Che and bowed deeply.

He said respectfully, "I respectfully welcome Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me for any shortcomings in my hospitality."

Upon hearing this, Yun Che simply nodded lightly without saying anything.

However, his eyes were always fixed on Mu Qing, as if he wanted to see through her.

Mu Qing felt Yun Che's sharp gaze, and her heart trembled slightly.

But she still remained calm and faced it all calmly.
