Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 731 229: Holy Master… Why Hasn't Dongfang Mu Knelt Before You Yet?_2

How could any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures increase one's Life Span by over ten thousand years? Naturally, there is no point to it. Now that I am alive, who knows for how long?

"Where are you going?" Little Jiao Huo asked.

"I don't want to die, so naturally, I'm looking for a way to keep living," Wang Mu said.

Actually, there are still options. This Cultivation Technique comes from the Ice Blue Ancient Tree; I could go to the Immortal Mansion and ask the Ice Blue Ancient Tree. Or perhaps, ask Mo Xilan. Another method... is to rely on the Infinite Demon Body. The Infinite Demon Body is a Demon Way Technique. If my Taoist Heart allows, I could directly transform and absorb others' Life Span for my own use. Directly converting a Cultivator with profound Cultivation into my own strength could also replenish Life Span. Otherwise, most Cultivators on the Demon Path, burdened with heavy Karma and strong Heaven's Punishment, also tend to have low Life Spans. If their Cultivation Techniques are too poor to solve the problem of Life Span, they will never see the highest view of this world. However, this method involves heavy Karma and is purely an Evil Path route... I naturally wouldn't choose this. I'd rather just give up.

But there is a problem: the Infinite Demon Body will take the initiative in doing such things. It's a kind of self-preservation mechanism. When one's Life Span is about to run out and the body weakens, the Infinite Demon Body will not accept this weakening and will automatically seek power that can change itself, absorbing and plundering... For example, when I look at Ao Qing and Little Jiao Huo, my body feels an impulse to drain them clean and replenish my deficient Life Span. Luckily, the Infinite Demon Body is also weakened now, and I can still control it.

Give it a little more time, and once my Primordial Spirit starts to weaken as well, it will be very hard to control the Infinite Demon Body. Possibly, before giving up, I might actually become a Great Demon. Because no matter how much the Infinite Demon Body absorbs, it cannot draw a Life Span of over ten thousand years; it is only delaying the inevitable. The only solution is to go to the Immortal Mansion to ask, or to find Mo Xilan. Because... Mo Xilan faced this same dilemma. Only... my predicament is more severe... indebted with over ten thousand years of Life Span, a predicament probably incomprehensible to other Cultivators.

"Or maybe we should just wait for the Great Immortal..." Ao Qing looked towards Bi You Palace.

There is no time to wait. Bi You must be undergoing the awakening of the Wa God True Body—the power of her Bloodline. From what I understand, the curse has been suppressed for too long. Once the Wa God True Body is fully awakened, the ancient power of her Bloodline will cause her Cultivation to surge, and she will then start Crossing Tribulation and Ascension. I have long been prepared for this. When I first came to Bi You Palace and helped Bi You remove some of the curse, I was already prepared to be a tool for their Ascension. This... is Karma. Unescapable. From my experiences over the years, I can feel it. A thousand years ago, they were my tools. A thousand years later, the Way of Heaven has its cycle, and I have become the tool for their Ascension. In the end... it's likely that I'll have to send them off one by one.

Wang Mu sighed. Pinching his fingers, a greenish light of Azure Blood gleamed and shadowed across the sky.

WHIRRING...

The Green Blood Sword flew to Wang Mu's side, looking around as if questioning whether this was indeed its master...

"..." Wang Mu.

My Primordial Spirit and body have changed so much that even my Lifebound Magical Treasure finds it hard to accept me for a moment.

Of course, it was just suspicion, and in the end, it still landed at Wang Mu's feet.

"That... you said you were going to feed me well, right?" the Immortal Cloud Kun whispered faintly.

Wang Mu paused in his step, about to step onto the Green Blood Sword...

"Right, for now, you'll follow me," Wang Mu said. "I'll do some Fishing to feed you, and you can give me a lift along the way."

"No problem, no problem!" The Immortal Cloud Kun flapped its wings. "I hope I'll get full before you die."

"..." Wang Mu.

After speaking, the Immortal Cloud Kun flew to the ground beneath Wang Mu's feet.

Actually, for an Ascension Realm Upper Realm Immortal Beast, the pressure is quite tremendous. Because to it, a mere sneeze from me could spell its demise...

However, Wang Mu had placed the Essence Blood of the Immortal Cloud Kun within the Demon Binding Rope and Demon Capturing Bottle, then wrapped it with Mixed Element Power. If this Immortal Beast dared to act recklessly, or if Wang Mu died, the Mixed Element Power would disperse, and the Essence Blood would immediately drop, thereby activating both Magic Treasures and subduing it. Having it by my side, then, is actually a good thing.

"Little Kun, you must protect Wang Mu well," Little Jiao Huo instructed.

Wang Mu stepped onto the Immortal Cloud Kun and patted the Kun Fish that came from the Immortal Realm.

For this journey, I can only rely on this creature for protection. Eh, since things have come to this, I can only barely let an Upper Realm Immortal Beast protect me for now. The Nine Provinces are fraught with danger. Especially Piao Miaoxu; who knows what kind of dark plots and schemes she's concocting somewhere. If she found out how I look now, she would probably...

Wang Mu shook his head...

"Let's go!"

The Immortal Cloud Kun let out a long cry, flew into the sky, flipping through clouds and twisting, disappearing in an instant...

「Somewhere.」

"Holy Master... why hasn't Dongfang Mu come to kneel before you yet?"

"Could it be that there's a problem with his Infinite Demon Body?"

In the void.

A wisp of Piao Miaoxu's Residual Soul sat in the center, cross-legged and focused, her aura like a long and dark river. Below, countless corpses were piled up, some were Demon Beast corpses, huge as Tianzhu, terrifying and solemn. This place was one of the several forbidden areas of the Nine Provinces; only Cultivators of at least the Divinity Transformation Level could come here.

"The time is almost ripe!" Piao Miaoxu frowned slightly. "Logically speaking, if that dog hadn't been bewitched, he could only have found a solution... No, the Infinite Demon Body has no solution; the only way is to fall into the demon path. He can't possibly easily control the Infinite Demon Body. Hey... wait a second, I think I sense the aura of the Infinite Demon Body..."

The next moment, the Residual Soul rose into the sky, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.

"Yes, it's the aura of that dog..." Piao Miaoxu looked somewhat excited. "It's not heading in our direction... it seems to be toward Qianzhou... Qianzhou? I remember, he has a Taoist couple in Qianzhou. It's Mo Xilan! This dog, unable to find a way to solve the Infinite Demon Body, must want to ask Mo Xilan for help! Wrong... The aura of his Infinite Demon Body, how did it suddenly become so much weaker? It was clearly just cultivated; how can it be so weak now? Could there be a problem with my Ten Thousand Demons Returning to the Ancestor Technique? Impossible... How could there be a problem with me..." Piao Miaoxu muttered to herself.

On the other hand, Shuo Wuji asked, "The Infinite Demon Body has weakened?"

"Correct, very weak, extremely weak!" Piao Miaoxu replied. "The Infinite Demon Body can't possibly be this weak. When first cultivated, it should be incredibly strong. The stronger it is, the stronger its demonic nature. Being so weak... could it have encountered an enemy? Who could possibly be his enemy in the Nine Provinces?"

"There should be none..." Shuo Wuji pondered. "His few Taoist couples... are too strong. Other than you, Holy Master, no faction would dare seek death to go against him. Besides, like in the past, he also has many good associations... I haven't heard of any enemies."

"Then this opportunity is indeed one in a thousand years." Piao Miaoxu's eyes flickered. "Let's go. It's just right to intercept him. Cultivating *my* Infinite Demon Body... You dog, don't even think about escaping from the palm of my hand again!"

"Could any of his Taoist couples be with him..."

"Impossible," Piao Miaoxu said. "That Yan Qingwu was heavily injured in the Eight Desolate Netherworld... Recently, there was a great battle between two Ascenders in Huangtian Continent, with their aura shaking the Nine Provinces. Evidently, it was those two. I think it must be because this dog was secretly trying to absorb Mu Hongyuan's Emotion Poison and was found out by Yan Qingwu..."

"Holy Master, you can deduce even this?" Shuo Wuji asked.

"Fool..." Piao Miaoxu said coldly. "What do you think I have been doing for a thousand years? Dongfang Mu, do I not understand him? Of course, the Dongfang Mu you know from a thousand years ago is only one side of him. The side I understand is also just one among many. This dog, he could have countless faces."

Shuo Wuji was inwardly startled. Merely one side? What does that mean? What exactly has the Holy Master been through these years?

"And, you fool, think again," Piao Miaoxu spoke indifferently. "If he was with his other Taoist couples, he wouldn't possibly go to Qianzhou to find Mo Xilan... and his Infinite Demon Body also wouldn't suddenly become weak. Moreover, he must have cultivated the Infinite Demon Body by absorbing Mu Hongyuan's Emotion Poison; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so quick... With Mu Hongyuan's Emotion Poison gone and the True Meaning of Dao surging, she will soon face the great Ascension calamity and won't even be able to care about that dog."

After listening, Shuo Wuji suddenly came to a realization. As expected of the Holy Master; she truly knows her enemies so well.

"In his mind, we might now seem like defeated dogs..." Piao Miaoxu said, "not daring to trouble him. But how can this Holy Master act as he expects? This time, I won't kill him. Instead, I must make him kneel before me! And acknowledge me as the Holy Master!"
