「Two days later.」
Heroine Yan had left, leaving behind for Wang Mu only a wisp of her lingering fragrance.
It's still the same heroine I know... Wang Mu sighed softly below the Cloud Sea. Heroine Yan was a true traditional righteous heroine with a clear understanding of her responsibilities. She wouldn't linger in the sweetness of their time together. If she said two days, then it was indeed two days.
Though Heroine Yan spent most of these two days engaged in serious swordsmanship training with Wang Mu, it couldn't even be said that she was instructing him. The realms of Sword Dao might differ in level, but insights into it were another matter. Wang Mu had a considerable understanding of this Dao, so their sessions were more like an exchange. In Heroine Yan's words, this was the kind of sword training she had envisioned. Of course, two days were still too short. Sometimes, while discussing, they would unwittingly begin practicing the Mixed Elements Heart Sword technique.
Unfortunately, in terms of the realm of the Mixed Elements Heart Sword, Wang Mu had far surpassed Heroine Yan. She knew too few routines and lacked the will to progress, thus being completely outclassed by him in this particular art. Wang Mu didn't press the issue and decided to take his time; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. After all, they could already practice swordsmanship at the waterside, just like in the Illusion Realm. Unlocking other scenario routines was merely a matter of time.
Moreover, even the simplest routines could lead to a supreme enjoyment: Heroine Yan would blush, her cheeks turning red as she stubbornly bit her finger to suppress her moans. Yet, under Wang Mu's exquisite swordsmanship, she would still involuntarily let out enchanting and melodious sounds. Her toes, like young, tender shoots, would tense up. Eventually, with cold tears streaming down her face, she would whisper, "Sword practice... shouldn't be... too fast... slow down a bit..." This, too, was a supreme enjoyment.
Her hurried departure for the Eight Desolate Illusion Realm likely meant she had wanted to go there for a long time.
Perhaps, ever since she heard the news last time, she wanted to go there... Wang Mu mused. But at that time, her condition was terrible... it would have been useless to go... Now that she has recovered significantly...
The Eight Desolate Netherworld...
Yuanhai Hall... Piao Miaoxu...
Wang Mu looked towards several other directions. With Heroine Yan gone, it was time to visit those other individuals. He wondered when they would recover and when they would undergo their Crossing Tribulation.
For now, the priority was to transform all the Constant Silver Silicon Crystal and restore the Divine Light Mirror. It's easier to accomplish things in the Lower Realm when you have connections in the Upper Realm, he thought. If a problem arises that can't be solved here, at least there's a fallback. That Moon Palace Fairy could be useful.
Consequently, Wang Mu spent three months in meditation at the Sword Sect, fully devoted to transforming the Constant Silver Silicon Crystal. He finally succeeded, though he felt it was slow. Too slow. Three months for just this little...
The next step was simpler: reforge the Divine Light Mirror, perfectly embedding the Constant Silver Silicon Crystal according to its blueprint. With his current Artifact Refining skill and the blueprint, this wasn't difficult. The Divine Light Mirror wasn't a particularly high-level Magic Treasure. While it had many uses in the Upper Realm, its primary function in the Lower Realm was message transmission. The refining process would just take a little time. Now that he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, his Artifact Refining speed was far beyond what it used to be. Besides, this was more of a semi-repair than creating something from scratch. The materials were sufficient, and he had the blueprint, so it wouldn't take too long. It wasn't some Heavenly Communication Divine Artifact.
At most half a month, and it should be restored... Wang Mu concluded with a nod after spending half a day studying the blueprint.
「Xilu. Nameless Land.」
One after another, black-robed Demon Cultivators held blazing torches aloft. Unfortunately, even though fueled by Nascent Fire, the flames seemed unable to illuminate beyond three feet in this area. They stood in the void, each gazing ahead with fervent expressions, their eyes shimmering with a light akin to devout belief.
At the forefront, a man in a black robe surveyed his surroundings, his eyes as sharp as those of an alarmed god. Numerous trails of demonic flames encircled him, yet his aura was remarkably calm.
This was Shuo Wuji, one of the most formidable Demon Lords of the Nine Provinces Demon Sect and the founder of Yuanhai Hall—a prominent figure in the Demon Path. He was the leader of a generation of the Demon Sect and the object of faith for countless Demon Cultivator disciples of Yuanhai Hall. His Wuji Treasure Book was revered by innumerable Demon Cultivators as the foremost Cultivation Treasure Book in the world, though, of course, this was a title the Demon Path had bestowed upon itself. In reality, many contemporary Demon Path techniques were derived from this Wuji Treasure Book. Moreover, the book advocated concepts such as all things returning to the origin and that nothing is outside of extremes and plenitude. These ideas influenced many cultivators of the first generation of the Nine Provinces Demon Path.
Later, he passed away. But recently, he had been resurrected by the new Holy Master of Yuanhai Hall. This news naturally astounded countless Demon Cultivators even more. The Yuanhai Demon Venerate, who passed away years ago, could be resurrected? This was utterly absurd. What level of power could bring back someone of such stature?
Piaomiao Saint.
A new rising star within the Nine Provinces Demon Path! This figure had single-handedly turned around the declining trend of the Demon Path! In an era where more and more individuals from the Righteous Path achieved Ascension, the emergence of such a mysterious Piaomiao Saint, leading the Demon Path to revive its immortal glory, was an event that had undoubtedly electrified countless Demon Cultivators.
The Demon Cultivators of the Nine Provinces, during Shuo Wuji's reign hundreds of years ago, could hardly be called evil. It was merely that their different cultivation methods led to different factions. This, in turn, resulted in different approaches towards the Mortal World and the Cultivation World, stemming from their differing philosophies. The most basic expression of this was that Demon Cultivators of the Nine Provinces, for the sake of cultivation, would stop at nothing, disregarding the future and focusing only on the present.
