Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 749 - 237: Piao Miaoxu: From now on, I am Dongfang Mu!_2

Especially when he recalled those six past lives...

Sometimes, Wang Mu even suspected that Piao Miaoxu... might have been her pawn?

Wang Mu cleared his mind and arrived at the depths of the Ice Prison where the Ice Blue Ancient Tree stood.

According to outside world time, he had spent over a year cultivating near the Ice Blue Ancient Tree, yet only a month had passed externally. Time moved exceedingly slowly here.

Compared to his last visit, the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Immortal Mansion, while still high, had become somewhat diluted.

This meant that the Immortal Mansion itself was also losing energy...

The Ice Blue Ancient Tree was the same as ever, showing no changes.

"Eh, what brings you here?"

Seemingly sensing his arrival, the Ice Blue Ancient Tree rustled its icy branches. As its dense canopy moved, the very fabric of the Immortal Mansion seemed to shift and change.

"I’m dying," said Wang Mu. "I came to ask if you, Senior, might have a solution."

The Ice Blue Ancient Tree fell silent.

"Your Life Force... You’re approaching the Sixth Layer of the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill, yet why are you so withered?" The Ice Blue Ancient Tree was profoundly shocked. "A Life Span of tens of thousands of years, and it wasn’t enough for you to squander? What on earth have you done?"

"Life with Heaven allows one to use Life Span to offset Heaven’s Punishment. What are *you* using yours to offset?"

I haven’t done much, Wang Mu thought. Just offset a thousand-year curse from an Ascending Immortal Cultivator...

"Furthermore, such a significant deficit... You... you..." The Ice Blue Ancient Tree was staggered beyond measure; it had likely never encountered a situation like Wang Mu’s. "Even the heavens can’t save you now! Unless Master is reborn or can devise a solution... But in your current state, forget saving Master, you can hardly save yourself."

Senior, could you perhaps not be so blunt? Wang Mu thought wryly.

"So, you’re saying even you have no solution, Senior?" Wang Mu asked.

"Your loss of Life Span is significant. Even if you break through to the Sixth Layer, little will remain. You must reach at least the Seventh Layer for your Life Span to fully recover..."

"But the Seventh Layer is so far out of reach... At least with the Sixth Layer, there’s still a chance, because the lost Life Span can at least be restored."

That’s right.

At least the Sixth Layer.

"Currently, I am limited by the five signs of decay..." Wang Mu said. "I can’t practice Cultivation Techniques... and my progress with the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill is extremely slow..."

I can’t even add any action points.

This was the reason Wang Mu had come here.

Never mind anything else, at the very least I need to be able to cultivate the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill, right?

And even if I could cultivate, it’s still uncertain...

"I do have a method..." the Ice Blue Ancient Tree mused.

Wang Mu’s eyes lit up.

"What method?"

"The Primordial Wood Longevity Skill also has another Cultivation Method," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said.

"What method?"

Indeed, I didn’t make this trip in vain.

"Longevity... longevity..." the Ice Blue Ancient Tree intoned slowly. "This is the Longevity Technique. The longevity it advocates is one without rivalry, without snatching, without grabbing, without deliberate refinement. It is about living amidst the world’s myriad states, simply watching the mountains rise and the sun set, the clouds disperse and the rain cease, observing all of existence from the perspective of a bystander."

"Not entangled in the fleeting clouds, detached from the mundane world, one naturally achieves carefree longevity..."

"This Cultivation Method is very simple," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree continued. "You need only walk the three mountains and five peaks and wander the vast earth. Observe all the states of the world without stirring a speck of dust. By doing so, you can attain longevity, and the Cultivation Technique will naturally advance with vigor."

"Originally, this method would not have suited you, as you had countless entanglements. It was simply impossible for you to cultivate in such a manner..."

"Now, however, in your current state, it is quite fitting. The only question is whether you *can* cultivate in this way."

Such a Cultivation Method was indeed extraordinary.

Wang Mu had never heard that such a formidable Cultivation Technique could be practiced in this manner.

Is this the perspective of a detached observer, watching everything from the sidelines, understanding all, yet engaging with none?

It is nearly impossible for most Cultivators to achieve this.

Living in the Cultivation World, who can claim to remain unstained by worldly affairs? And this method requires one not to seek seclusion, but to actively go out, to see, to observe...

And the Cultivation Technique would automatically advance...

For me, this might not be difficult. As long as I have the Immortal Cloud Kun by my side, I normally shouldn’t encounter any danger.

"When would it take effect?"

"In three to five years," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree replied. "In three to five years, the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill will definitely make some progress!"

"During this time, am I not supposed to do anything?" Wang Mu asked.

"If you desire longevity, you must strive to eliminate much of your own Karma," said the Ice Blue Ancient Tree. "But how can any living being in this world be entirely free from the entanglement of Karma? This Cultivation Method aligns with the Way of Heaven, allowing the Cultivation Technique to improve automatically. However, you must possess the patience to endure."

"This is no ordinary Cultivation Method, and not everyone can practice it."

"If you actively engage in affairs, you will generate all sorts of Karma... whether good or bad, it will invariably affect you..."

The branches of the Ice Blue Ancient Tree pointed skyward. "Actually, I don’t truly understand the Way of Heaven; that was Master’s term. But that complying with nature grants longevity—this is beyond doubt."

Wang Mu nodded. He then suddenly remembered—wasn’t the Moon God supposed to descend to the mortal world?

If I accompany her and do nothing, simply letting her act while I observe...

"I understand. Thank you, Senior," Wang Mu nodded.

"Mm," said the Ice Blue Ancient Tree. "Do you want to come in and see Master?"

"No, thank you. Next time I visit, I’ll try to awaken her directly..."

The Ice Blue Ancient Tree was silent for a moment.

"Currently, you cannot use the Power of Primordial Wood, nor can you wield the Demon Suppression God Seal. This means you cannot freely enter or leave the Immortal Mansion. If you encounter a Heavenly Demon, you must be exceedingly cautious. This is especially true for Sky Demon Emperor Chen, as the Master of Heavenly Demon has likely already appeared in the world."

Not only has he appeared, we’ve already clashed several times... Wang Mu thought.

"Wait here for a moment," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said. "I will lend you some Life Span. Otherwise, if you leave now, you won’t live much longer."

"You can lend it?" Wang Mu was taken aback.
