Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 657 - 211: I didn’t expect to see Brother Wang’s illusion before I die_2

[Empress: Yue’er, your performance was commendable. The Lower Realm cultivator said you did not threaten her, and the matter with the Divine Light Mirror was true. I misjudged you.]

The Moon God’s gaze was somewhat evasive.

That little cultivator was still very trustworthy.

[Moon God: It’s alright, Mother Empress. After all, I was the one who lost the Divine Light Mirror.]

[Empress: It wasn’t your fault, then. Let it go. By the way, Yue’er, you’ve met that cultivator, haven’t you?]

[Moon God: Yes, I have. What about it?]

[Empress: You also know that this person unraveled the trial of the Moon Palace, a trial that I had set up. I’ve temporarily taken back the Divine Light Mirror. However, I am quite curious. Could you tell me about him? His appearance, for instance...]

The Moon God was startled. Didn’t the little cultivator say that the Divine Light Mirror wasn’t taken back? How could Mother Empress say it was taken back? Indeed, was the little cultivator deceiving me? The Moon God had felt something was amiss before. Now, hearing Mother Empress say this, she immediately concluded that Wang Mu must be the one lying. This little cultivator was dishonest! Deceiving me! However, I can’t reveal this. Wouldn’t that expose my ongoing contact with the little cultivator? Let him deceive me. After all, it’s not a big deal to me. With Mother Empress’s status, such trivial matters like a Lower Realm cultivator smuggling himself in wouldn’t even concern her! There’s no way she’d ask a Lower Realm cultivator to help with reporting. In the grand court of the Immortal Dynasty, finding a few smuggled Upper Realm Immortals is a trivial matter. Surely this boy thinks that his Mr. Lee holds a higher status than I do and is using this opportunity to distance himself from me? So he fabricated all that... claiming Mr. Lee hadn’t retrieved the Divine Light Mirror and even asked for his help... What a crude lie, especially in the Upper Realm. Indeed, what a shame. This little cultivator doesn’t even realize that Mr. Lee is my Mother Empress—an Empress of the Upper Realm’s Immortal Court! How could a mere Lower Realm cultivator like him possibly hope to associate with someone of her stature? Even if he managed to pass the trial Mother Empress set, to her, it’s merely worth a passing glance.

Humph. The Moon God mused. Is he underestimating me, an Upper Realm Fairy? Such a petty trick; how could I not see through it? This information involves many romantic destinies and is bound to cause trouble. As long as I have this leverage, I won’t lack for ways to get some amusement out of him...

With that thought, the Moon God gently tapped the center of her brow. She sent the image into the Divine Light Mirror. Ripples appeared, and Wang Mu’s likeness materialized as a three-dimensional image, which was then transmitted.

[Empress: Alright, that will do. I’ve taken back the Divine Light Mirror. It was tainted with the aura of a Lower Realm cultivator, so it needs to be sent back to the Divine Light Tower for refinement and cleansing. I’ll give you a new one later. Just make sure not to lose it again, especially not in the Lower Realm. Also, refrain from descending to the Lower Realm casually.]

[Moon God: Understood, Mother Empress!]

As long as it doesn’t involve breaking the rules, Mother Empress is actually quite kind.

The Moon God looked at her Mother Empress’s words and breathed a sigh of relief.

「 」

「Fengyue Sect.」

"My child, you have finally returned..."

「After several years.」

The senior disciple of the Fengyue Sect, Gu Yuqing, had finally returned.

Not only had she returned, but she had also broken through to Divinity Transformation, her cultivation realm profound and inscrutable, now comparable to that of several elders!

The four elders gathered, gazing at the woman before them with expressions of deep satisfaction.

Since the incident of the marriage proposals at the Divine Pond, Little Gu had been sent away by the Venerable Lord. They didn’t know where she had gone, only that she had left for cultivation. And once she began, she did not return for several years...

Now, she had finally returned.

"Great Elder..." Gu Yuqing’s brilliance remained, seemingly little changed from years ago. However, the light within her eyes now held a quality of having returned to the basics—a clear indication to the elders of an exceptionally high cultivation realm.

Even though they were also in the Divinity Transformation Realm, their Divine Sense struggled to perceive the depths of her cultivation.

"Master?" Gu Yuqing inquired.

"The Venerable Lord?" The Great Elder pondered for a moment. "She has been in seclusion in the Refining Emotion Cave. We haven’t dared to disturb her."

"In seclusion?" Gu Yuqing was startled.

"Yes," said the Great Elder. "She did emerge once, when Yan Sword Immortal was undergoing their Crossing Tribulation. The Venerable Lord had intended to come out of seclusion then, but for some reason, she returned to the Refining Emotion Cave to continue her closed-door cultivation. Afterward, she instructed us that no one was to disturb her under any circumstances."

"Oh, and the Venerable Lord also said that if you returned, you should go to the Refining Emotion Cave to find her."

Gu Yuqing was slightly taken aback.

"Little Gu, do you wish to see your Master?" the Great Elder asked.

Gu Yuqing nodded.

"Alright, then off you go."

The Refining Emotion Cave was the Fengyue Sect’s secret cultivation ground.

The elders simultaneously recited a mantra, and a deep, dark cave entrance slowly materialized...

Gu Yuqing jumped down.

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.

"Not a hint of hesitation..." A bizarre voice cackled. "I’m growing rather fond of you."

"Aren’t you afraid?" Gu Yuqing asked.

"What should I fear?" replied the Piaomiao Saint unhurriedly.

"My Master is an Ascension Expert." Gu Yuqing closed her eyes. "At such close range, aren’t you afraid she’ll sense you? You’re merely a residual soul. My Master might detect you before I even give her what you spoke of."

"And what of it?"

"Even if she did sense me, she couldn’t do much... Besides, she was once my subordinate, my right-hand woman. My understanding of her far surpasses yours, her grand-disciple."

Gu Yuqing laughed silently.

"Even if she could, my soul is now bonded with her grand-disciple’s—with yours," the Piaomiao Saint’s laugh was filled with unyielding confidence. "If she tries to deal with me, you won’t survive either. I know Mu Hongyuan too well. She values emotions far too much. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have followed me, a Demon Leader, all those years ago."
