Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 750 - 237: Piao Miaoxu: From now on, I am Dongfang Mu!_3

"Yes, but only a little," said the Ice Blue Ancient Tree. "You and I both practice the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill; we are the only two Immortals left in this age. I can lend you my power to prolong your life for a while. However, you owe too much, and I myself haven’t even cultivated to the Seventh Layer..."

"So, I can only lend a little."

"I suddenly have a question..." Wang Mu said, "Your master... why doesn’t she cultivate the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill?"

The Ice Blue Ancient Tree fell silent all of a sudden.

This question had in fact crossed Wang Mu’s mind before.

The Primordial Wood Longevity Skill was powerful enough to defy nature, with the Sixth Layer boasting a Life Span of over 30,000 years.

Moreover, according to what the Ice Blue Ancient Tree had said earlier, this Cultivation Technique was a Great Taoist Divine Skill created for it by An Qixiu.

With such a formidable Divine Skill at her disposal, why wouldn’t An Qixiu cultivate it herself?

If she did, wouldn’t she be able to live even longer?

There would be no need for transmigration at all, right?

Cultivating this skill might require the Primordial Wood from the Ice Blue Ancient Tree as a foundation. But since An Qixiu created such a Divine Skill for it, couldn’t the Ice Blue Ancient Tree have simply provided an original pine branch for An Qixiu to cultivate with as well?

"I don’t know," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said softly.

Don’t know? How could it not know?

"I gave a piece of Primordial Wood to my master..." the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said. "But the master did not cultivate it... or if she did, she did not succeed in cultivating it... anyway, I’m not sure. All that my master instructed me was, after a thousand years, if someone comes to this place, to aid them in their Cultivation..."

Wang Mu fell into deep thought...

Vaguely, he felt he understood a bit more about An Qixiu’s plan...

After speaking, the Ice Blue Ancient Tree’s body flickered with emerald light; a small firefly glow the color of ice green leaves began to slowly flow into Wang Mu’s body.

In just a moment, Wang Mu felt much more comfortable all over, and his body seemed to grow slightly younger.

Well... this kind of Life Energy, if one were to use a metaphor, could probably be considered as allowing him to repay some of his Life Span.

Wang Mu’s current state had fallen from the Sixth Layer to the Fifth Layer, which meant his Life Span was being deducted every day, a large amount each time, with his Life Force ebbing away daily.

If the deductions continued until completely negative, one would be finished.

With hundreds of years being subtracted daily, consuming Elixirs was futile. Being able to live one or two more days was utterly useless.

And with each passing day, more was deducted...

Initially, Wang Mu felt he could live another year or two, but after flying to Qianzhou, he felt his days were truly numbered...

Yet the Life Span lent by the Ice Blue Ancient Tree could at least allow Wang Mu to live a little longer.

"Thank you, senior. I will certainly repay you when the time comes," Wang Mu said.

"No need. If you die, my master cannot live either," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said.

"..." Wang Mu.

"Let me send you out," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said. "Next time you come, remember to ensure my master has awakened. The Langhuan Immortal Mansion is nearing its limit. Soon, its energy will completely disperse, and by then I won’t stay here..."

Wang Mu nodded and left the Immortal Mansion.

「Tianlin Continent, Yuanhai Hall.」

"Holy Master... that Dongfang Mu is really mysterious..."

"For now, let’s not target him..."

Shuo Wuji spoke softly.

How many times was it now? The Holy Master had never succeeded once... It was too sad. He felt it was too sad.

Moreover, if he hadn’t fled quickly this time... it really would have been the end of him!

A Spirit Beast of the Ascension Realm in the Nine Provinces... No, even if such a formidable one existed, how did it come to serve as the mount for a Nascent Soul Cultivator like Wang Mu? It was too strange!

Shuo Wuji looked warily at the Void Soul in front of him.

The Holy Master had been silent and solemn ever since her return.

It seems that All Demons Return to the Sect had no effect on Dongfang Mu, or perhaps it was influenced by that Ascension Realm Spirit Beast...

But...

After some thought, Shuo Wuji decided to comfort the Holy Master:

"That Dongfang Mu’s Life Force is extremely weak. It’s a clear indication his Life Span is nearing its end, showing signs of the five decays. Even if we don’t go after him, he probably won’t live much longer..."

"Not live much longer?" Piao Miaoxu turned around, her body shrouded in a faint mist that made it impossible to see her expression. "This damned guy has proven time and again that he can not only survive but live a very long time..."

"Now, with an Ascension Realm Spirit Beast as his guardian... it seems if our strength doesn’t reach Ascension..."

"No, unless we exceed Ascension, there’s not the slightest chance..."

Piao Miaoxu narrowed her eyes. "Speaking of Spirit Beasts... I remember, that damned guy used to raise three wild beasts..."

"The Three Saints of Beast King Mountain," Shuo Wuji said. "They are now Tribulation Crossing Level Spirit Beasts... but it seems they haven’t recognized him yet... Presumably, Dongfang Mu doesn’t wish to disturb the Cultivation of these three Demon Saints..."

"Within the Nine Provinces Demon Realm, the Three Saints of Beast King Mountain hold high status and wield great power... Huh, it feels like the Nine Provinces are full of forces related to Dongfang Mu..."

Shuo Wuji sighed.

It was becoming unbearable to stay in the Nine Provinces. Ascension! They must ascend!

"You’re right, Holy Master!" Shuo Wuji said. "As long as we can achieve Ascension first, and suppress the Nine Provinces with sheer force, defeating Dongfang Mu with raw power might be the only solution."

"No hurry..." Piao Miaoxu said. "What’s the situation with the Nine Provinces Demon Realm? Have the Three Saints not met Dongfang Mu yet?"

"At least from what we can see so far, they haven’t..."

"That makes things interesting..." Piao Miaoxu mused. "Taking action ourselves is inferior to inciting the tiger to devour the wolf... Let them destroy each other..."

"Holy Master, are you suggesting..."

Piao Miaoxu’s Void Soul in mid-air slowly changed, finally transforming into a familiar figure.
