Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 794 - 250 Absorbing Karmic Fire_2

"Who are you to dare absorb the Burning Karma Fire?" The Immortal official’s composure was faltering, his heart filled with shock and anger. He even began to suspect the other party might be an Immortal from the Upper Realm in disguise.

How could a Cultivator of the Lower Realm control the Divine Flame of the Upper Realm?

Moreover, this fire was highly destructive to Cultivators, a destruction that burned the soul to cinders, ignoring any level of Cultivation.

Some Immortal officials of the Upper Realm, if stained with Karma and touched by the Karmic Fire, would suffer fatal soul injuries and damage to their Immortal Essence.

Only the Immortal officials from the Flame Virtue Star Palace could control it, and only once they obtained their Immortal position.

Wang Mu turned and ran, not bothering to waste words with this Immortal official.

He planned to wait a while, obtain this person’s Essence Blood from the Moon God, and then deal with him and Piao Miaoxu at the same time.

Perhaps because he was too shocked to react, and also because he himself was sealed, the Immortal official didn’t give chase. He withdrew the Karmic Fire, his heart in turmoil.

No wonder the Upper Realm forbids descending to this realm without permission...

The Immortal official murmured, When I descended last time, I hadn’t seen these Cultivators... nor that Spirit beast... It seems I must employ some means. That Divine Fish is the only chance for my child to obtain an Immortal Body and ascend to the Upper Realm...

「 」

Who is this guy, after all?

If the Skill on that ancient piece of wood was left by him, wasn’t it clearly to help me avoid being controlled by Piao Miaoxu?

But why... why would he be willing to die for Piao Miaoxu? Doesn’t he know that this Saint is Piao Miaoxu? Could it be that the Skill on the ancient piece of wood has nothing to do with him? Is it really just my own good fortune? If so, that would be too coincidental, wouldn’t it?

Meanwhile, Gu Yuqing, like many other Cultivators, watched from the edge of the Ruoshui Pond.

The flames wielded by that mysterious expert were so powerful that, even from this distance, she felt a fear that pierced her very soul.

Yet, her mind was filled with countless questions.

What puzzled her was that Piao Miaoxu had truly come and had indeed rescued Dongfang Mu.

Of course, for Brother Wang, this is merely escaping the tiger’s den only to enter the wolf’s lair, Gu Yuqing thought. I wonder how Piao Miaoxu will torment Brother Wang.

I must return...

And I must return with this person...

Gu Yuqing looked at the figure burning within the flames and quietly followed.

「 」

It can’t be called a blessing in disguise; it’s just good luck...

Wang Mu felt a slight relief when he realized the Immortal official hadn’t pursued him.

No, it couldn’t be called good luck.

I had almost presented Piao Miaoxu with a great gift.

However, with this Karmic Fire inside me, and limited by the Seven Emotions True Fire Scripture, I dare not completely absorb it...

If I completely absorbed it, I would certainly be burned. As the Karma within me disappeared, this body wouldn’t be able to withstand the scorching of such flames.

Fortunately, the plan is proceeding as I envisioned...

Now that the Moon God and Immortal Cloud Kun have been captured... their strength has temporarily declined, but they surely won’t be killed by Piao Miaoxu.

Moreover, after witnessing the strength of this Immortal official, Piao Miaoxu, that Saint, likely won’t escape this entanglement easily. Even if she wants to, the Immortal official won’t let her go.

Wang Mu walked to a certain spot and suddenly stopped.

"Who’s there?"

The flames on his body had slowly retreated into his Sea of Consciousness. There, his Nascent Soul was firmly surrounded and controlled by the four Divine Flames.

Gu Yuqing slowly revealed herself. She asked:

"Who are you, really? That Cultivation Technique on the ancient piece of wood..."

"What are you talking about?" Wang Mu frowned. "Shouldn’t you be rushing to rendezvous with the Saint right now? Why are you following me?"

"It’s her command, to have me follow you and safely bring you back," Gu Yuqing said, her face expressionless.

His visage had grown even older, as if he could die at any moment. His body was visibly withering.

The taste of that Divine Flame must have been terrible, right? Gu Yuqing thought.

"Then help me with one thing," Wang Mu said.

"What is it?"

"Your confidante has now been captured by the Ancient Sage," Wang Mu said leisurely. "The Ancient Sage has emerged victorious. Now, the only one left to deal with is likely this Ascension Realm expert. If she can defeat this expert, the Ancient Sage’s prestige will surely become foremost in the Nine Provinces."

"What are you trying to do?" Gu Yuqing asked.

"This expert’s strength is extraordinary," Wang Mu said. "Your sect is the Fengyue Sect, correct? The Supreme Master of the Fengyue Sect is a renowned Ascension Expert. Since you’ve submitted to the Ancient Sage, shouldn’t you return to your sect and pay your respects to your Master?"

Hmm?

Gu Yuqing looked at him.

He was calm, showing no change in expression, not even the slightest subtle variation.

"You want me to persuade my Master to help her?" Gu Yuqing said indifferently. "You really are unusually loyal. Unfortunately, my Master is in seclusion and won’t appear, not even to see me."

Hearing this, Wang Mu understood.

It seemed Mu Hongyuan was indeed at a critical juncture of her secluded Cultivation for Crossing Tribulation. She might even ascend after emerging.

This confirmation brought Wang Mu some relief.

"Then go and contact the other famous Ascension Experts from the Nine Provinces for me," Wang Mu continued, "such as Yan Sword Immortal from the Sword Sect, the old ancestor from the Dan King Sect, and Immortal Bi You. With a formidable enemy at hand, we must find suitable allies for the Ancient Sage."

Gu Yuqing sneered inwardly.

It seems he truly doesn’t know that the Ancient Sage is Piao Miaoxu impersonating Dongfang Mu.

If I could really bring these people together, Piao Miaoxu would have tucked her tail between her legs long ago.

"Why should I do that?" Gu Yuqing asked. "She did not give me such an order."

"If you still want to see your confidante, you’ll need to take more initiative for the Ancient Sage," Wang Mu said. "Although you’re willing to be her mole, I can sense—or rather, the Ancient Sage can also sense—that you don’t wish to harm her. Now that your confidante is under the Ancient Sage’s control, you should be even more willing to proactively serve the Ancient Sage."

"That makes sense," Gu Yuqing smiled faintly. "Then I’ll go and make contact right now to see if I can reach them."

With those words, Gu Yuqing turned and left.

Listening to him, she suddenly remembered something.

She couldn’t contact her Master, but Brother Wang... or rather, Dongfang Mu, had more than just her Master as a former confidante...

Yan Sword Immortal was one of them.

If I could find her, Piao Miaoxu wouldn’t dare act so recklessly.

Watching Gu Yuqing leave, Wang Mu let out a small sigh of relief.

He just wanted to find a way to get Little Gu away from Piao Miaoxu for a while; after all, being near Piao Miaoxu was never safe.

「Several days later.」

The Moon God sent a message.

[Moon God: That person said he wants to join forces with you. Hee hee, quite interesting. What does he want? By the way, why does he call you a ’worthless cur’? Are you enemies?]

[Wang Mu: Agree directly. Don’t ask any more questions. You have Little Kun, so he won’t dare do anything to you.]

[Moon God: Even if we join forces, I doubt we can defeat Immortal Official Qian Mo. By the way, how did you manage to save him that day? Weren’t you the one who despised that Saint impersonator?]

[Wang Mu: The Essence Blood is all that matters. Those two Magic Treasures require it.]

[Moon God: When will you come? I’ll give you Qian Mo’s Essence Blood. As for those two Magic Treasures, I think I know what they are. But honestly, even with their help, success isn’t guaranteed... Based on my calculations, Qian Mo should have broken free from his seal by now. Finding this place will be easy for him.]

[Wang Mu: I’ll come over in a few days.]

Piao Miaoxu’s base wasn’t in Tianlin Continent, but on Beast King Mountain in Huangtian Continent.

This was the location of the Three Saints.

She likely established her base there to prevent sneak attacks from me, Wang Mu mused. After all, it was the domain of the Three Saints; any attempt would have to bypass them.

Although it feels like I won’t live much longer... I don’t seem to care much about life or death anymore...

Several months later, Wang Mu arrived at the main cave of Beast King Mountain.

「Beast King Mountain, Three Saints Cave.」

Piao Miaoxu paced back and forth, her expression solemn.

She had already brought that ’worthless cur’ back and successfully persuaded him to form a temporary alliance.

The plan was proceeding smoothly.

That ’worthless cur’ had hardly any reason to refuse.

He was even unable to see through her identity. The thought made Piao Miaoxu feel quite proud and amused.

Especially when she saw his angry yet helpless expression, it felt as if a millennium of bitterness had somewhat dissipated.

A thousand years!

She could finally gain the upper hand, even hold the initiative firmly in her own grasp!

But this was far from enough!

She wanted that ’worthless cur’ to experience the pain she had once suffered. How could this possibly be enough?

This was merely the beginning.

But...

Piao Miaoxu’s mind kept replaying the image of the figure who had stood before her that day.

After returning, she had remained silent for a few days before dispatching people to search for him.

Although she didn’t hold out much hope... she couldn’t forget him.

If he is still alive... I must make him a Heavenly Demon! Piao Miaoxu muttered to herself.

At that moment, a voice sounded from outside:

"Ancient Sage, an old man outside, claiming to be Qin Mu, seeks an audience."

Piao Miaoxu’s heart leaped, and she said joyfully:

"Quickly, let him in!"
