Chapter 1687 The Honey Trap in the Cultivation World?

At this moment, without any guidance from cultivation techniques, the two people's bodies and souls, which had already reached the Mahayana realm and were extremely pure, naturally entered the deepest level of dual cultivation.

Zhang Xuan's mastery of all laws and principles guided the pure natural Dao and musical Dao of the Fairy of Wonderful Sound.

The pure and pristine innate Yin energy of the Fairy of Wonderful Sound, along with her unparalleled affinity for the rhythms of nature, in turn cleansed and nourished Zhang Xuan's myriad true meanings, especially those related to nature and music, which seemed to be infused with the most primal vitality.

Ascending in waves of ultimate pleasure, together we roam the ocean of the Great Dao.

I witnessed the birth of stars and heard the breath of all things.

The bamboo forest fell silent, and the streams slowed down.

After an unknown amount of time, as the surging tide of energy gradually subsided, Fairy Miaoyin nestled in Zhang Xuan's arms, her pretty face radiating a satisfied languor and charming allure.

She clearly felt that her long-standing bottleneck in the early stages of Mahayana Buddhism had quietly loosened during the ultimate experience of the harmonious resonance of Yin and Yang, and then she broke through it in one fell swoop!

The middle stage of Mahayana Buddhism will naturally come to fruition!

The natural Daoist aura within her, which was originally somewhat aloof and cold, now seemed to be infused with warm vitality and a sense of completeness, becoming more harmonious and profound, and its connection with heaven and earth and all things became increasingly close and deep.

Zhang Xuan also gained a lot.

As a Mahayana female cultivator and a virgin, Fairy Miaoyin possessed incomparably pure innate yin essence, which contained her profound understanding of the Great Dao of Nature.

This power, integrated into his Tree of Myriad True Meanings, not only strengthened his origin but also solidified the power of the side branches of his Great Dao of Wood.

This dual cultivation actually served the purpose of a rare Dao source artifact.

He now possesses three branches of authority over the Great Dao.

However, just as the two were still embracing tenderly, several powerful auras suddenly descended from the outer edge of the bamboo forest!

Xuanhuang Daojun, Tiangong Daojun, Baicao Daojun... nearly half of the Daojun of the Xuanhuang Great Realm actually arrived together!

They had clearly sensed the unusually powerful energy fluctuations and resonance with the Great Dao here, especially the undeniable aura emanating from Fairy Miaoyin during her breakthrough.

When the divine senses of the Dao Lords swept across the depths of the bamboo forest and they saw the two embracing, and sensed the lingering enchanting atmosphere and yin-yang Dao rhythm in the air, the scene instantly froze.

Xuanhuang Daojun's face turned extremely ugly, while Tiangong Daojun and Baicao Daojun shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

"Zhang Xuan!" Xuanhuang Daojun's voice, filled with suppressed rage, roared like thunder. "You...you dare to defile my realm's Miaoyin Daojun! You must give my Xuanhuang Great Realm an explanation for this!"

Zhang Xuan was startled, not expecting that he would have to explain such a thing.

Are you kidding me? This is the world of cultivation!

Moreover, they are all ancient foxes who have reached the highest level of enlightenment.

Do I really need to explain this kind of thing?

He gently draped his outer robe over Fairy Miaoyin and faced the assembled Dao Lords with composure: "Fellow Daoists, this matter is a matter of mutual affection between me and Fairy Miaoyin. How can it be considered a defilement?"

"Mutual affection?" Heavenly Craftsman Daoist sneered. "Fairy Miaoyin is pure of heart and naive to worldly affairs. Who knows what tricks you used to bewitch her! You want to leave, so you do such a thing. Is this the behavior of a gentleman?!"

"I..." Fairy Miaoyin was so ashamed that she wanted to disappear, but when she heard everyone blaming Zhang Xuan, she mustered her courage and said in a soft but firm voice, "It was me...it was my own choice! It has nothing to do with Zhang Tianzun!"

Her words confirmed their affair, and the expressions of the Dao Lords became even more interesting.

Xuanhuang Daojun took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and stared at Zhang Xuan: "Zhang Tianzun, our Xuanhuang Great Realm has treated you as an honored guest, taught you a hundred arts, and discussed the Dao with you. Yet you... Enough! It's too late for further words. The only solution now is for you to stay in the Xuanhuang Great Realm, become a Daoist partner with Miaoyin, and forever guard this realm! Otherwise, don't blame us for disregarding our past relationship!"

At this moment, Zhang Xuan finally understood the true intention of Xuanhuang Daojun.

This whole performance was to force him to stay in the Xuanhuang Great Realm.

Zhang Xuan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang, it's not that I'm unwilling, but that I can't. The Dragon Spine Divine Realm is my foundation, and my family's bloodline is intertwined with it; I cannot abandon it. Moreover, in a thousand years, the calamity of the arrival of True Immortals from the outside world will occur. I need to prepare in advance. This calamity concerns the lives and property of my clan, and even the survival of all living beings in this region. I absolutely cannot hide here and seek only personal gain!"

His tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

At this moment, the Great Dao Tree behind him manifested, with three main trunks standing side by side and thirteen side branches emitting a clear glow. The powers of the three side branches had already solidified, and the leaves of the Great Dao of Myriad Laws swayed.

Even if it comes to a battle, Zhang Xuan is not afraid of the combined forces of all of them!

The scene was at a stalemate for a while.

Although the Dao Lords were furious, they also knew that Zhang Xuan's strength was unfathomable. If a fight were to break out, even if the Xuanhuang Great Realm could win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, which was definitely not what they wanted.

Seeing this, Baicao Daojun sighed and stepped in to smooth things over: "Alas, what a tragic fate! Brother Xuanhuang, what Zhang Tianzun said is also true. A forced relationship is not sweet. If we force him to stay, it will only backfire and damage his relationship with Miaoyin, as well as sever the opportunity between our realm and the Myriad Phenomena Merchant Alliance."

He looked at Zhang Xuan, then at the enigmatic Fairy Miaoyin hiding behind Zhang Xuan, and slowly said, "Zhang Tianzun, since you and Miaoyin have already consummated your marriage, you must give her an explanation. My Xuanhuang Great Realm may not force you to stay, but you must formally marry Miaoyin and make her your Daoist partner! This is the bottom line!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuan's expression became quite interesting.

A proper, lawful marriage? He knows that all too well!

He looked at Fairy Miaoyin and saw that although she lowered her head shyly, she did not object, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

“Alright.” Zhang Xuan nodded and solemnly promised, “I, Zhang Xuan, am willing to marry Fairy Miaoyin as my Daoist partner, with Heaven and Earth as my witness and the Great Dao as my proof!”

Upon hearing this, Fairy Miaoyin's delicate body trembled slightly. She raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears, yet she smiled.

The expressions of Xuanhuang Daojun and the others softened slightly, but they were clearly still not satisfied.

"Since we are Daoist partners, this is no mere fleeting romance," Xuanhuang Daojun said solemnly. "You need to return to the Xuanhuang Great Realm regularly to visit, and Miaoyin can also accompany you to the Dragon Spine Divine Realm for a short stay. Furthermore, regarding the Ascension Platform space threads of your Myriad Manifestations Merchant Alliance... my Xuanhuang Great Realm can authorize their establishment!"

Zhang Xuan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"However," Xuanhuang Daojun changed the subject, "this passage must be jointly controlled by my Xuanhuang Great Realm and you, Zhang Xuan. The authority to open the passage requires the consent of both parties. Trade between the Xuanhuang Great Realm and the outside world must be handled by you, Zhang Xuan, and you must be fully responsible for it. You must not delegate it to others, and you must not allow other forces to interfere with my realm!"

Zhang Xuan felt as if he were in a dream upon hearing this.

He had always wanted an exclusive agency, but he never expected to get it in this way.

Unexpectedly, by cultivating with Fairy Miaoyin and becoming her Daoist partner, Zhang Xuan gained the trust of the Xuanhuang Great Realm and became deeply bound to it.

If I had known it would be like this, I should have started dual cultivation with Fairy Miaoyin as soon as I arrived in the Xuanhuang Great Realm. I have wasted decades of my life.
