Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 815 - 259: But I Have a Way to Make You Suffer More Than Death

Qian Mo is merely the name used as an Immortal official in the Upper Realm, having employed aliases during his time in the Lower Realm.

Much like the Moon God, Wang Mu does not know her full name to this day.

"For those who entered the Sword Sect with me in the same generation, achieving Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation is not difficult. However, crossing tribulation to ascend may prove somewhat challenging..."

After Wang Mu recounted the events of recent years at Dan Sword Peak, he learned about the current situation and then left the Sword Sect.

Through the Sea of Consciousness, using the Heavenly Demon’s unique soul communication method.

Wang Mu reached out to Gu Yuqing.

[Gu Yuqing: Although Piao Miaoxu has been captured and is under control for now, she slowly recovers with every breath, making it harder for me to retain control. What should we do next? Should we go back and find Master?]

[Wang Mu: You head back to the Fengyue Sect... I’ll bring her to the Eight Desolate Netherworld.]

Wang Mu intends to first restrain Piao Miaoxu and then introduce her directly into the Eight Desolate Netherworld, having Ying keep an eye on her.

Within the Dark Border, with Ying present, Piao Miaoxu won’t be able to stir anything up.

Because she had once cultivated the Foreign Clan’s skill, making her half a Dark Alien Race.

Then revive An Qixiu and let her try sealing or otherwise handling the situation.

This should be a viable plan.

[Gu Yuqing: Alright.]

The Heavenly Demon’s soul communication method is somewhat akin to the Divine Light Mirror.

The difference being that this communication transpires directly and face-to-face within a unique space constructed by the soul, making it more direct than the Divine Light Mirror.

Reflecting on this, Wang Mu thought the Heavenly Demons were truly abnormal.

Their entire life forms intertwined like a single lifeline.

As the King of Heavenly Demons, Piao Miaoxu was tightly bound with various magic treasures employed by Gu Yuqing.

After leaving the Sword Sect, Wang Mu directly headed to the Fengyue Sect.

Along the way, he reminisced about the moments spent practicing swords with Heroine Yan over the past month.

A month is a lengthy time, during which he engaged with Heroine Yan on various levels.

Calling it a connection, perhaps "heart-to-heart" is more accurate.

Listening to her quietly recount myriad experiences from those years.

Including stories from when the Sword Sect was founded, how she initially had a few disciples, later one by one passing on to become immortals, as well as entanglements with disciples of the Fengyue Sect, and various past grudges with Mu Hongyuan.

Though described with light strokes, these narratives held a subtle melancholy.

As for himself?

Wang Mu had inquired.

"Do you think I am the same as Dongfang Mu back then?"

"Not quite the same."

"The Dongfang Mu of old..." Heroine Yan uttered this with a somewhat absent expression, "was a true hero. Though he came from nothing, he seemed omnipotent, all-knowing. Reflecting on the feats of those years, I realize at each crucial point, he handled things flawlessly."

"Even when I was naive and uninformed at the time, he seemed fully aware..."

"Did you really, as you once said... from the first glance, secretly plan out all the subsequent series of actions?"

What else?

Wang Mu mused.

Your strategy route then was something I personally tested countless times, step by step to discover.

Analyzing your personality at the time in numerous dimensions, fearing the Love Saint ending would deviate unexpectedly.

"The current you..." Heroine Yan pondered, "isn’t like before but became more realistic."

"Changed quite a bit."

"Except..."

At this point, Heroine Yan gritted her teeth slightly, glancing coldly at Wang Mu, "Your knack for attracting trouble remained unchanged."

...

All in all, although it was a heartfelt conversation, Wang Mu grasped that Heroine Yan had her own unspoken thoughts.

Never disclosed to him.

For instance, what exactly did she realize in Sword Dao?

Wang Mu didn’t ask, nor did Heroine Yan say.

Even if asked, she wouldn’t tell.

Much like Mo Xilan.

"Maybe some questions will only be answered once An Qixiu awakens."

Unknowingly, they arrived at the Fengyue Sect.

Having visited several times, Wang Mu walked effortlessly into Fengyue Valley and met several Elders.

Gu Yuqing had returned by this time.

"Where is Piao Miaoxu being held?"

"The Heavenly Demon Divine Pond..." Gu Yuqing replied, "It’s the most unique forbidden area in our Fengyue Valley; once a cultivator enters the pond, they are rendered nearly powerless. I have locked her body to prevent karma from entering her inner self."

"However..."

"What is it?"

"I can’t act against her," Gu Yuqing stated, "The body resists instinctively."

"You’ve cultivated the skill she bestowed upon you. Though the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill shields you from her control, the inherent instinct of the Sky Demon Technique naturally impedes you from acting against her..."

Wang Mu pondered, "To what extent?"

"To the point of killing her," Gu Yuqing’s eyes flickered with enmity.

Clearly, towards Piao Miaoxu, her hatred was profound.

"But, facing her directly, I cannot conjure even an ounce of killing intent, let alone take action..."

"Killing her is meaningless." Wang Mu deliberated, "Take me to see her."

Gu Yuqing promptly led Wang Mu to the Heavenly Demon Divine Pond.

This place was initially accessible only to the Supreme Master, meant for penalizing disciples who erred.

Once, Wang Mu cultivated here for some time.

"She’s at the pond’s bottom," Gu Yuqing said.

Wang Mu nodded slightly, condensing a drop of mysterious black water at his fingertip, flicking it casually.

The water transformed into a blade, landing on the surface, effortlessly splitting the Heavenly Demon Divine Pond.

Wang Mu possessed too much power within, occasionally even more than he could wield.

Currently, the Primordial Mystic Sea Control Technique had reached the Seventh Layer.

While practicing swords with Heroine Yan, not only did his Sword Dao level rise, his other techniques advanced considerably too.

In essence, Wang Mu speculated that the Five Elements within had aligned, fostering synergy between the Mixed Elements Heart Sword and Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram, establishing an internal closed loop.

The external admittance of any energy was able, through the Infinite Demon Body within this closed loop, converted to his own cultivation, propelling every technique in harmony, achieving an almost perfect cultivation state.

This rationalized the ability to absorb all of Heroine Yan’s millennium of karma within a month, given her status as an Ascension Expert.

Furthermore, absorbing karma strengthened the Infinite Demon Body, the more of which, the greater the absorption and transformation, effectively enhancing self-imposed limits.

Initially, the five elemental techniques were challenging to practice in balance.

Normally, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, with a myriad of techniques needing practice, the cultivation process slowed, achieved only through years of repeated diligent enhancement.

Who would have anticipated, through a chain of encounters, to create such a unique cultivation state for Wang Mu nowadays. Progressing myriad miles swiftly is an accurate portrayal.

Upon the water’s separation, Piao Miaoxu was presently bound entirely by chains-like Red Rhombus restraints.

Her hair scattered, head bowed, obscuring any expression.

Seemingly detecting something, she raised her head to look above, revealing a composed countenance.

She bore not even a hint of victor-or-vanquished mentality.

No, rather, having confronted numerous failures, she now hardly cares.

For setbacks, the unveiling of Wang Mu’s identity brought unprecedented humiliation upon her.

Yet now...

"No wonder she’s the King of Heavenly Demons..." Wang Mu glanced at him.

To be honest, even having prevailed over Piao Miaoxu once again, Wang Mu felt no relaxation whatsoever.

Because she’s truly troublesome.

If you killed her, the unknown factor of reincarnation occurs, uncertain where or when the reincarnation transpires, over uncharted years, she would certainly rouse turmoil once more across the Nine Provinces.

Otherwise, if left alive, merely observing her remains.

What does vanquishing her accomplish?

Simply securing temporary peace.

"Dongfang Mu, if you have the guts, kill me like a man."

Piao Miaoxu revealed some contempt, "What’s the point of this seal to me?"

"Furthermore, since you’ve come, it’s convenient for me to express this directly to you."

"You might escape my grasp for now..."

Piao Miaoxu spoke calmly, "But merely temporarily. As long as I live, endless karma in this realm exists, allowing me to recover gradually. Eventually, both of you, given your Heavenly Demon bloodline, inevitably will not escape my control!"

"So if you don’t kill me, it won’t be long before I have both kneeling before this palace!"

She was audacious.

Yet Wang Mu won’t fall for it.

Killing her presents more complications.

Beside him, Gu Yuqing furrowed her brow slightly.

"I won’t kill you," Wang Mu said, "But I have ways that make you suffer more than death."
