Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 599 200 Mr. Lee Requests to Add as a Friend..._5

"I sense something fishy... The Dragon Clan has always ignored the Human Clan..."

A group of Cultivators were discussing this fervently.

This indeed might be an opportunity, Wang Mu pondered for a moment. At the very least, it's a chance to go to the Dongling Dragon Palace... Recruiting a son-in-law is out of the question; how could humans and dragons possibly unite? There's probably a catch, something some Cultivators can already sense.

After pondering for a while, Wang Mu decided to first make a trip to the Ancient Snow Forest.

Hunting is always interesting.

He flew on his sword toward the southeast. In less than half a day, he saw a vast, towering snow forest stretching before him.

This snow forest was incredibly peculiar. Dark clouds densely covered the sky, seemingly shrouding the entire area. Even before approaching, an extremely violent energy signature emanated outwards. Cultivators with weaker cultivation would likely find it unbearable to even get close, due to the impact of this strange energy.

"What a peculiar place."

"Has some Evil Beast descended here?"

Wang Mu squinted, extending his senses.

[Travel: ...Ancient Snow Forest (!)...]

So, there really is a Travel event here.

"Who's there?"

A figure materialized in mid-air, their Divine Sense locking onto Wang Mu.

"I am Wang Mu of the Sword Sect. I heard there was a hunt here." Wang Mu glanced at the person, recognized him as likely being from the Realm King Sect, and stated his purpose directly, "I've come specifically to participate."

"Wang Mu of the Sword Sect? Number one on the Heavenly Pride Rank?" The man was taken aback, his pupils constricting. "So, it's you..."

Wang Mu was also surprised. Finally, someone recognizes me as number one on the Heavenly Pride Rank, not just as the one with an Ascension Realm Taoist couple...

"You're the Cultivator with the Ascension Realm Taoist couple!" The man chuckled. "A guest is a guest. Since you're here for the hunt, follow me."

Wang Mu was speechless.

Space fluctuated, resembling a portal.

"Follow me in. The hunt has already started, but there's no limit on participants."

Wang Mu followed him in. After a moment, the scenery around him shifted. When he regained his senses, he had arrived inside a tent.

Inside were several Cultivators from the Realm King Sect.

Wang Mu also saw a familiar face—Elder Shen from the Realm King Sect.

He had once questioned Wang Mu achieving the top rank on the Heavenly Pride Rank with merely a Golden Core Realm cultivation.

"It's you!" Elder Shen, naturally, also spotted Wang Mu. "You've actually come all the way to my Xilu Land?"

"Just traveling," Wang Mu said.

"Hmph," Elder Shen scoffed. "Are you here to participate in the Snow Forest hunt?"

"Indeed."

"Do you know that only those at the Nascent Soul Realm or above can enter this Ancient Snow Forest?" Elder Shen stated.

Wang Mu smiled. "Nascent Soul Cultivators? I've fought them before."

Elder Shen was momentarily speechless. When you topped the Heavenly Pride Rank, you fought a whole group of Nascent Soul Cultivators...

"Do you know what kind of Evil Beast we're hunting?" Elder Shen asked.

"No idea. I just heard there was a hunt here and came," Wang Mu replied.

"You brat, you truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth," Elder Shen shook his head. "Never mind. Listen carefully. This Evil Beast is extremely powerful and can summon a Heavenly Tribulation. It's the nemesis of human Cultivators. Our Realm King Sect intends to eliminate this beast. If it weren't for the special rules of the Ancient Snow Forest..."

"What special rules?"

"Within the Ancient Snow Forest, there are Demon Beasts at the Tribulation Crossing Level," Elder Shen explained. "Normally, our human Tribulation Crossing Cultivators wouldn't dare to enter recklessly, as it would be considered an invasion of the Ancient Snow Forest. This place is a self-contained ecosystem, the largest gathering place for Demon Beasts in Xilu Land."

"The appearance of this Evil Beast means that Divinity Transformation Experts are the highest level that can intervene. Any stronger experts would inevitably disturb those Tribulation Crossing Level Demon Beasts, leading to a massive battle, which is something we wish to avoid."

"So, you can only allow some Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation cultivators to enter and hunt this Evil Beast?"

"If you're capable, you can hunt other Demon Beasts as well," Elder Shen said. "With your background, you have nothing to fear."

"What exactly is this Evil Beast?" Wang Mu asked.

"The Evil Beast is named Night Candle. In any case, it's not a Demon Beast native to this Ancient Snow Forest." Elder Shen frowned. "It's very troublesome. It inhabits an area shrouded in darkness where a Cultivator's Divine Sense can barely detect it, and its form is also difficult to perceive."

"Its Life Force is incredibly tenacious, making it extremely difficult to eliminate."

Wang Mu was lost in thought.

"Are you still going?"

"Of course, I'm going," Wang Mu stated.

This Evil Beast sounds rather interesting.

"Alright. If you succeed in hunting it, my Realm King Sect will reward you generously," Elder Shen said, waving his hand. "Go through that Teleportation Array, and you'll enter the Ancient Snow Forest. Prepare anything you need beforehand."

I don't need to prepare anything. With the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation in hand, I'm actually eager to meet this Evil Beast.

After hearing Elder Shen's explanation, Wang Mu felt a sense of familiarity with the situation.

"You're really not preparing at all?" Elder Shen glanced at Wang Mu. "Fine. At least put on this Top-grade Magical Robe. It can at least resist the malevolent aura of the Ancient Snow Forest."

Elder Shen took out an extremely thick, plush overcoat and handed it to Wang Mu.

A Top-grade Magical Robe, not bad. It must be a specialty Magic Artifact from this region.

Wang Mu thought for a moment, then accepted the plush overcoat, put it on, and stepped into the Teleportation Array.

Truth be told, wearing this coat really does bring back the feeling of hunting in the Newbie Village during winter.

However, the moment he entered the Teleportation Array, a peculiar chill assaulted him.

The surroundings instantly became much darker, and when he looked up at the sky, he could only make out specks of stars.

The towering snow forest, which should have appeared pure white from a distance, now consisted of large, grey, and gloomy trees all around.

"Interesting..."

Wang Mu squinted. This Evil Beast... The place where the Evil Beast is located is a region of darkness. That's truly interesting.

He focused his senses for a moment.

[Travel: Ancient Snow Forest (!)]

Wang Mu directly expended one Action Point.

[Travel: Ancient Snow Forest (Southeast by West)]

I'm not familiar with the Ancient Snow Forest, and with the surroundings so dim, even basic directions are extremely difficult to discern. Divine Sense is useful, but its perceptual range is limited. Even knowing the Travel points, finding the exact location indicated by Travel might be somewhat difficult. However...

Wang Mu closed his eyes and activated the Resting Soil Golden Core within him. Since obtaining the Resting Soil, he had been gradually forming it into a Golden Core these past few days. This legendary Resting Soil from above the nine heavens, combined with his other Five Elements Golden Cores, allowed the condensation process to be incredibly fast. Once the Resting Soil Golden Core is formed, by connecting with the earth, it can sense everything upon it.

Of course, I've only just formed it, so its abilities aren't that exaggerated yet. However...

As the Resting Soil Golden Core operated, a vast power of the earth converged from the ground below.

In his Sea of Consciousness, as the Golden Core circulated, the surrounding scenery coalesced into a three-dimensional image.

While not perfectly clear, it's far more distinct and understandable than the gloomy snow forest perceived by my Divine Sense. This Resting Soil Golden Core is truly peculiar... Not only that, but I can also draw energy from the earth from a great distance... And perceive the marvels of the earth... With such an ability, what prey on earth could escape my pursuit during a hunt? No matter what Divine Beast it is, as long as it moves on the ground... But to use it merely for hunting seems somewhat too simple...

Instantly, Wang Mu pinpointed the Travel location.

With this earth-imaging capability, I can even bypass certain special barriers; it's far more potent than Divine Sense. It seems the Evil Beast should be right here... I need to see if it's what I suspect...

Following the location indicated in his Sea of Consciousness, Wang Mu immediately headed over.

Before long, the originally grey world progressively turned into absolute darkness.

Not a sliver of light.

Even Divine Sense couldn't penetrate this peculiar darkness.

Only on the topographical map formed by the operating Resting Soil Golden Core in his Sea of Consciousness could he perceive a strange Demon Beast, radiating a peculiar life fluctuation, lurking nearby and watching him.

Seeing this, Wang Mu narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath. "So, it really is these Dark Alien Races..."

I didn't expect them to still be alive after all this time... It seems... she... might still be around as well?

Drawing out the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation, Wang Mu was about to strike.

Suddenly, the Divine Light Mirror vibrated. Wang Mu frowned slightly. Could that Upper Realm Fairy be sending messages again at this hour? It's only been a few days, hasn't it?

Wang Mu opened it and glanced casually, only to see a message:

[Mr. Lee requests to add you as a friend...]

Wang Mu was taken aback. Who is this? Could it be another Immortal from the Upper Realm, like the Fairy mentioned?

However, at this moment, Wang Mu couldn't be bothered with such things.

Doesn't matter who you are...

Wang Mu chose to dismiss it directly. He rejected the friend request.

I'm busy right now... Who has time to deal with these individuals who may or may not be Immortals from the Upper Realm? One Upper Realm Fairy is already troublesome enough! If another one comes along, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it...
