Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 642 208: So That's Where Heroine Yan's Weakness Is?_2

"It shouldn't just be stronger than before..." Jian Wuqing said. "As the Sect Master, I also participated in the last Immortal Ascension Ceremony. I feel that this is even stronger than Yan Sword Immortal at her peak by several degrees. Dao Wuya is in an entirely different Realm from Elder Yan... This isn't right... Over the past half-year, Elder Yan has never shown such a powerful aura..."

Several Peak Leaders looked puzzled.

"Could it be because of Wang Mu?" Cheng Tianyong suddenly said. "Last time, I remember it was this young man who brought back the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill to help Elder Yan recover... Could it be the same this time?"

"Impossible!" Wu Dayong, the Peak Leader of Dan Sword Peak, shook his head and said, "A Divine Pill is called divine because it's unique. Even if Wang Mu is the Taoist couple of that old ancestor from the Dan King Sect, it's highly unlikely for him to bring another one."

"Moreover, that old ancestor from the Dan King Sect has been in seclusion for quite some time... There hasn't been any news of a new Divine Pill being born, and Wang Mu's Alchemy Dao proficiency couldn't possibly create such a Divine Pill... It should be unrelated to him... Maybe Elder Yan had a breakthrough in her enlightenment..."

But this is too coincidental... The moment that kid returns, everything changes... Cheng Tianyong thought.

Moreover, that sword strike just now was the Love Nine Sword Technique. Although he had never cultivated it, he knew that this Sword technique was extraordinary.

"Just a Golden Core—oh no, a Nascent Soul Cultivator—how could he possibly help Elder Yan?" Jian Wuqing waved his hand dismissively. "To help Elder Yan recover from the state she was in after defeating Lei Lixing to her current state, where one sword strike defeated Dao Wuya? Forget a Nascent Soul Cultivator... even an expert at the Ascension Realm couldn't do it."

"You speak of Divine Pills, but I don't believe any Divine Pill could allow someone to reach this stage in just a few months."

"When she took that Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill initially, didn't it also take Elder Yan several years to fully recover?"

Everyone nodded, feeling that made sense.

What could this possibly have to do with Wang Mu, a mere Nascent Soul Cultivator?

It definitely has nothing to do with him.

Only Lu Youlian was in deep thought.

The Love Nine Sword Technique... I haven't cultivated it either... But, I remember that Sword technique seems to require one of two paths. Either severing feelings—once emotions are gone, the might of the Sword technique naturally rises to a terrifying extent.

Yan Sword Immortal took that path.

Or, the other possibility is that the stronger the emotions, the stronger the Sword technique becomes, and the higher its upper limit...

Emotions...

Could it be?

Lu Youlian couldn't help but recall the time she saw Elder Yan and Wang Mu fishing together beneath the Cloud Sea...

Maybe I'm overthinking it... How could that be possible?

Wang Mu is, after all, the Taoist couple of that old ancestor. How could an Elder of our sect possibly be involved with Wang Mu...?

But the might of that sword strike just now was so immense; it felt truly extraordinary...

How could it have become so powerful?

Especially when compared to her state when she defeated Lei Lixing previously...

「At the same time, on the plaza outside Upper Cloud Peak.」

"Brother Lei, is this what you meant by 'a spent force'?" Dao Wuya, disheveled and dusty, landed in the plaza. He looked at the crowd of stupefied Disciples from the Supreme Mysterious Dao Sect with a somewhat sullen expression.

If it weren't for his friendship with Lei Lixing for over a hundred years, he would have doubted whether this guy was setting him up.

Lei Lixing trembled all over, whispering,

"Brother Dao, I didn't know either... In just these few months... How has Yan Sword Immortal recovered to this extent... When I fought her before, I truly felt that her strength was failing... otherwise, she wouldn't have been defeated only after a hundred moves. To be honest, I was close to winning..."

"All the Disciples present can bear witness... Ming Cang, you saw it too, right?"

"That couldn't have been a performance. Everyone in the Nine Provinces knows Yan Sword Immortal's character; she would never pretend to be weaker. In the face of those from the Demon Sect, she always fought directly, charging in and out seven times without any pretense, nor would she resort to cunning maneuvers. Moreover, she has no reason to feign injury to deceive those of us who came to challenge her."

"The gifts we brought for this exchange are of no significant use to her or the Sword Sect."

"..." Fairy Ming Cang remained silent.

"Indeed..."

Dao Wuya frowned slightly.

That was indeed strange.

Such a severe injury...

"When we clashed just now, in that single exchange..." Dao Wuya shook his head. "She felt even more formidable than I remember from the Immortal Ascension Ceremony... Yan Sword Immortal's strength is clearly greater than it was back then... It's truly strange..."

The two Ascension experts were at a complete loss for an explanation.

Possibly, no one could understand.

This sword light, once again cleaved through the darkness of Huangtian Continent, illuminating the entire Nine Provinces.

"Heroine Yan is getting stronger and stronger..."

Wang Mu sighed.

Indeed. With the Yin Yuan Fruit and the Pan Yang Peach, Heroine Yan has benefited far more than I have from cultivating the Mixed Elements Heart Sword.

This won't do.

I wonder how powerful the Love Nine Sword Technique would be if I were to use it now?

Wang Mu felt a stir in his heart and was somewhat eager to test it on someone.

He thought about it for a moment, then dismissed the idea. There wasn't anyone suitable.

After the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram was illuminated, the benefits I received from it also provided a bonus to the Sword technique.

Combined with my current feelings for Heroine Yan, and the enhancements from the Seven Emotions Golden Core after it formed a Nascent Soul...

The power should also be terrifying, right?

Soon after, Heroine Yan landed.

Her expression was unruffled, as if she'd just resolved a minor issue, casually and effortlessly.

"Why are you so weak?" Heroine Yan frowned. Seemingly realizing something, she turned and said, "Is it because of what happened just now...?"

"Absolutely not!" Wang Mu raised his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with what happened just now. I was just casting some Spells, testing my Realm, that's all. I'm fine."

"..." Heroine Yan.

"Have you truly recovered completely?" Wang Mu changed the subject.
