Martial Arts, the Fairy's Cultivation

Bang!

Mu Zilian lightly touched down on a cliff and casually tossed Lin Dong aside. The latter barely managed to stand, his face still showing signs of shock.

Walking on air is something that only experts at the Creation Realm can make a living. Mu Zi's speed just now clearly exceeded the scope of ordinary Creation Realm experts. Lin Dong's current "small body" is still a bit unable to withstand such torment.

"Why did you bring me here alone?"

Lin Dong, slightly out of breath, looked at the graceful figure with her back to him and tentatively asked.

Mu Zi remained silent, gazing intently at the distant, rosy clouds, her eyes sparkling.

On the day she was reborn, a single thought blossomed into flowers, and purple aura traveled thirty thousand miles eastward!

"Disperse."

With a clear shout, the purple glow slowly dissipated, and the afterglow fell, reflecting beautifully on her face, leaving Lin Dong, who was standing beside her, mesmerized.

The woman in the white dress turned around, ignoring Lin Dong's gaze, and spoke to the demon spirit within him:

"Little mouse, come out."

After a moment of silence, a soft sigh seemed to come from within Lin Dong's body, and then the illusory purplish-black figure of Little Marten appeared, its expression slightly resentful.

"What rat? I'm the Celestial Demon Sable!"

As the dominant race standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, even if a true dragon appears, they must give face to the Heavenly Demon Sable. Although this woman of unknown origin is powerful, her attitude is far too arrogant.

But as a glint of light flashed in the white-clad woman's purple eyes, the little sable's initial confidence vanished instantly.

"What Heavenly Demon Sable? It's just a little mouse."

The little ferret's eyes flickered, but in the end it didn't refute anymore. The pressure from the woman in front of it was simply too terrifying. If it were just a powerful expert with a high level of cultivation, it wouldn't be able to make the little ferret feel this way, but there was an indescribable sense of oppression emanating from that woman.

At this moment, Little Marten even felt that the Heavenly Marten Clan bloodline imprint deep within its demonic spirit had lowered its proud nature and trembled involuntarily under the aura of the woman in white, as if it were facing a superior being.

"How is that possible? What is her background?"

Feeling his bloodline suppressed and becoming dormant, Little Marten was utterly horrified, staring incredulously at the unfathomable beauty with purple eyes.

Who in the world can truly surpass the bloodline of the ancient overlords?

If the Reincarnation Realm is not enough, then neither is the Ancestral Symbol Controller... Throughout history, there have been very few beings across the entire Tianxuan Continent who have been able to achieve this.

"Could she be the reincarnation of the ancestor of talismans?" Little Marten was startled by her own guess.

By the way, was the legendary talisman ancestor male or female?

Lin Dong, who was standing to the side, was unaware of what had happened between the two. Seeing that the once arrogant little sable had inexplicably become timid in front of Miss Mu, he found it amusing and stepped in to smooth things over for the former.

"Don't scare it. The little ferret is just being stubborn; it doesn't mean any harm..."

Mu Zi glanced at Lin Dong indifferently.

"This is none of your business. Go wait over there."

okay.

Having lost his nerve, Lin Dong took a deep breath and, under Mu Zi's watchful gaze, silently walked to the side.

Standing still, Little Mink stared solemnly at the woman in white, his eyes flickering slightly.

"What exactly is your purpose in seeking out Lin Dong? Surely there's nothing about him that catches your eye, right?"

"There's no need to test him. I have no interest in that incomplete organ inside him, and neither do you," Mu Zi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the little sable lost all hope. Without exception, anyone who could see through the stone talisman was someone it couldn't handle at the moment.

But just as Xiao Diao was secretly pondering the other party's purpose, she heard her tone change and say directly, "I need Lin Dong's help with something. Can you lend him to me temporarily?"

Xiao Diao was taken aback. Help? What could such a powerful expert possibly need the help of a mere kid who hadn't even reached the Yuan Dan realm?

Could it be that she's attracted to him personally?

"Hmm..."

For some unknown reason, the little sable's gaze towards the aloof fairy became extremely interesting, and then it shamelessly betrayed Lin Dong completely.

"Please make yourself at home, sir. Actually, I don't know that kid at all."

Mu Zi didn't understand the little sable's gaze, only feeling that the little mouse was a bit inexplicable. Then she stopped talking and, under the former's slightly ambiguous gaze, strolled towards Lin Dong in the distance.

"Now that no one is around to disturb us, we can talk about our business."

"What?" Lin Dong frowned slightly, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

"You should have felt it, right? The power in your dantian has become stronger. Do you know why?"

Meeting Lin Dong's questioning gaze, Mu Zi did not answer directly. Instead, she raised a slender finger and lightly tapped it in the air, and a purple energy emerged from her fingertip.

"Transformation and rebirth require starting from scratch. This Primordial Purple Qi is the only source of power I currently control."

Mu Zi gazed at the purple light before her, her tone nonchalant. In reality, the power of Hongmeng was not as simple as she made it out to be.

Hongmeng, the beginning of all things, the origin of the beginning.

As the source of all paths in the world, there is probably no single power in this world that can rival it!

buzz-

As Mu Zixin stirred her thoughts, the Primordial Purple Qi split in two before Lin Dong's eyes, eventually transforming into two completely different powers: one golden like the blazing sun, and the other black and blue like the vast ocean.

"The primordial chaos returned to one breath, and this one breath gave rise to Yin and Yang, which are—Taiyin and Taiyang."

Lin Dong stared in astonishment at the two beams of energy that shone brightly together, sensing fluctuations from them that were identical to the Yin and Yang energies in his own dantian.

If there is any difference between the two, it is that the Yin and Yang energy derived from the Primordial Purple Qi is far purer than the Yuan Power within Lin Dong's body. The difference is like heaven and earth. He is probably only tainted by a wisp of the Yin and Yang energy right now.

"This... thank you for converting my yin and yang. If this is the content of the transaction, I am very satisfied..."

Lin Dong said calmly that exchanging some ethereal luck for this heaven-defying fortune that surpasses the ninth rank was undoubtedly a worthwhile thing in his eyes.

But Mu Zi's expression was complicated.

"While the power of the moon and the sun is still considerable, this is not what I originally intended to compensate you for."

"After borrowing your luck, some changes occurred. For some reason, our karma became intertwined, creating a special connection."

As Mu Zi finished speaking, she gently raised her hand, and a crescent moon mark appeared in her palm. At the same time, Lin Dong also felt his palm getting hot, and saw a silver light shimmering there as well.

As the two drew closer, the two marks shone like two crescent moons, and an indescribable, subtle ripple spread between them.

"This is......"

Lin Dong stared thoughtfully at the mark in his hand, when Mu Zi's voice, tinged with emotion, rang out: "A kind of fate contract."

"Because of the interconnectedness of cause and effect, some of our traits will create feedback and manifest in our contracted partners. The Yin and Yang energies within you are a result of this feedback..."

The Primordial Origin's level was too high, far beyond what Lin Dong's current cultivation could withstand. Therefore, this power within him was reduced to the Yin-Yang attribute.

This outcome stemmed from the spontaneous feedback of the fate contract, rather than from Mu Zi's deliberate manipulation. Even she could not completely control how the contract took effect.

The feedback between the fate contracts is mutual, but given the current gap between the two, it is almost entirely Mu Zi's unilateral support of Lin Dong, with minimal feedback received in return.

Mu Zi wasn't particularly concerned about this, since she had originally intended to compensate Lin Dong. However, the other effect that came with the fate contract made her have to be cautious.

"Because of this contract, we will share both prosperity and ruin."

"If I reunite my original essence and restore my cultivation, you will receive more benefits; conversely, if I perish, you will also be implicated."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's expression became serious. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Indeed, there are no free lunches in the world. But can he bear the risks?

Given the mysterious background of the person in front of her, if she couldn't withstand it, the consequences might cost her her life.

Although dying under the peony is said to be romantic, it doesn't matter if I die with my worthless life, but if the Lin family gets involved, they will probably be doomed forever!

"Um... can this contract be dissolved?" Lin Dong looked at the white-robed fairy and asked cautiously.

Mu Zi narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at Lin Dong with a half-smile. Before she could say anything, Lin Dong was already thinking of severing ties with her!

"Do you really think I'd want to drag you along as a burden?"

Forging a life bond with an ordinary mortal being and thus becoming bound by a shared destiny was entirely unexpected by Mu Zi.

Besides, it was a man...

"There are ways to terminate the contract," Mu Zi said, changing her tone.

"The bond of fate is formed by cause and effect. As long as we completely sever this bond of cause and effect, the contract will naturally be dissolved."

Gazing at the pair of purple eyes visible through the veil, Lin Dong couldn't help but feel a chill. Resolving karmic ties might be difficult, but dealing with those who owe karmic debts is quite easy.

"You're really easily frightened. When did I ever say I wanted to take your life?"

A slightly complicated smile appeared on Mu Zi's lips, which were hidden behind her veil: "From now on, I will repay the debt I owe you in my own way."

"But until then, your life is mine. You are not allowed to die without my permission!"

That's really domineering.

Looking at the white-clad fairy's serene and composed demeanor, as if she had everything under control, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile wryly.

"As for you, you're not entirely useless. Once you become stronger, you'll find a way to be of use."

As Mu Zi spoke, her gaze fell on Lin Dong, and a slight ripple appeared in her clear eyes.

As a Holy Spirit, she was originally detached from worldly affairs, but fate played a trick on her, and by chance, she became entangled in karma and fell into this mortal world.

A true innate deity would never have any entanglement with mortals and would certainly sever all worldly ties, but she could not be so heartless and detached from karma.

Looking at the man before her, the turmoil in Mu Zi's eyes gradually subsided.

Having been reborn, she is no longer a god who looks down on all living beings from a high place, but a human being who is experiencing the cultivation of her Dao heart in this mortal world.

Perhaps, this is also a form of spiritual practice.
