Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 753 - 238: The Real and Fake Dongfang Mu_2

"Yes," the Moon God replied, stepping onto the Immortal Cloud Kun. "The Nine Provinces are very special. They are blessed with great Qi Fortune; we of the Li Dynasty ascended from this very place.

"Although the Nine Provinces are now just a small realm under our Immortal Court’s jurisdiction, the romantic fates within them are, to some extent, connected to the Qi Fortune of our Immortal Court in the Upper Realm..."

"No one has ascended from the Nine Provinces in these past few hundred years, have they?" Wang Mu said. "It doesn’t affect you, does it?"

"The lack of ascensions is due to the powerful Heavenly Dao Rules in the Nine Provinces," the Moon God explained. "To ascend from the Nine Provinces is extremely difficult. However, in recent years, I’ve heard that the Heavenly Dao Rules in the Nine Provinces have loosened considerably. It shouldn’t be long before a large number of Outer World Immortals emerge.

"Outer World Immortals who ascend from the Lower Realm can all take on various Immortal official positions in our Immortal Court. In the future, they’ll be more formidable than Outer World Immortals who cultivated in the Upper Realm.

"Although there haven’t been any so far, that will change soon."

The Moon God pondered. "Those red threads entwined around you must be quite special... They’re so thick they might even lead to ascension... Of course, there’s also the possibility of failure... Your major emotional tribulation might be related to this..."

Having said this, the Moon God glanced at Wang Mu.

"So, you’re saying the Nine Provinces are essentially a talent reserve for your Immortal Court?" Wang Mu asked.

"Talent reserve? That sounds a bit odd, but yes, that’s roughly the idea," the Moon God affirmed. "Therefore, romantic connections in the Lower Realm are naturally very important. It’s less of an issue for mortals.

"However, for you cultivators, reproduction is already difficult. If problems arise with romantic fates, it would significantly impact the Immortal Court’s future supply of Outer World Immortals.

"Mortals are numerous and have a high birth rate. Although they produce fewer offspring with high aptitude, their sheer numbers mean a substantial contribution.

"What’s truly important are the Taoist couples among you cultivators..."

"From my observations over the years," the Moon God continued, "in recent years, the number of Taoist couples in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World has been declining. Romantic connections just don’t seem to form, which indicates numerous problems. So, I took this opportunity to descend and investigate."

"Is this limited to humans?"

"It’s not limited to humans. Spirit beasts are in a similar situation. Frankly, none of them are doing too well.

"Human cultivators are the most severely affected, and among them, the situation in Li State is the direst."

Could it be because the Joyful Union Sect once appeared in Li State? Wang Mu thought.

This Moon Immortal sounded quite serious. It was hard to believe she had descended merely for amusement...

"So, what’s your plan for inspection now?" Wang Mu inquired.

"Simple..." The Moon God looked around. "The Qiqiao Festival is approaching. It’s a rather grand occasion in your Cultivation World when cultivators from all over seek Taoist couples. We can just find a small city and observe the situation directly."

Wang Mu patted Little Kun Kun.

"Alright!"

Little Kun Kun understood and immediately began to flap its wings, soaring towards the clouds.

While the two chatted idly, they soon arrived above a magnificent city. Looking down from above, Immortal Boats descended like waterfalls, and Magic Artifacts rained like showers. The buildings within the city rose in dense, orderly rows, while Soul Beast mounts navigated the major streets, markets, and pavilions in an organized manner.

"Look..."

The Moon God pointed to a tall building in front, surrounded by many cultivators.

Wang Mu looked closer and indeed saw many male and female cultivators gathered.

Each held a Water Shadow Talisman, standing in various spots like vendors at a market stall.

With over a decade of cultivation experience, Wang Mu could roughly tell that many of them were likely Loose Cultivators, with a minority belonging to Sects.

The biggest difference between Loose Cultivators and sect-affiliated cultivators is that the former often act without the constraints of rules.

This lack of inhibition and unruliness often even manifests in their daily interactions.

"What place is this?"

Wang Mu had the Immortal Cloud Kun descend and shrink, then strolled over leisurely with the Moon God.

Before long, they saw the sign hanging above the tall building:

"Matchmaking Pavilion."

"..." Wang Mu.

"Are you two also here seeking a Taoist couple?" At the entrance, two gatekeeping cultivators glanced over. "This is the Matchmaking Pavilion, the largest place for finding Taoist couples within a ten-thousand-mile radius.

"Entry requires a payment of ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones, and your cultivation must be at the Foundation Establishment Realm or higher."

Not too expensive, Wang Mu thought. Most Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators could afford it.

Wang Mu had a vague recollection of this place...

He glanced at the Moon God beside him.

The Moon God nodded slightly.

Wang Mu took out the Spirit Stones.

He didn’t have many Spirit Stones on him, but he could still afford this amount.

The two gatekeeping cultivators accepted the Spirit Stones, then one continued, his tone shifting slightly,

"This establishment has three floors.

"The first floor is for Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators to seek connections. The second floor is for the Golden Core Realm, and the third is for the Nascent Soul Realm.

"However, accessing the second or third floors requires an additional fee and proof of certain assets..."

At that moment, the Moon God asked, "With so many cultivators here, there should be many who form couples, right?"

The two cultivators merely smiled, not answering her question.

"You’ll see for yourselves once you go inside."

Wang Mu and the Moon God walked side by side onto the first floor.

"This place... is indeed teeming with a massive amount of romantic Qi Fortune," the Moon God transmitted her voice. "It’s just..."

"Just what?"

"It’s just that these strands of Qi Fortune... they don’t seem to connect with each other. It’s strange. A place with so much romantic Qi Fortune should lead to many successful pairings."

"..." Wang Mu.

Before long, they saw a Female Cultivator in palace attire with purple hair. She was smiling and frequently shaking her head at the people around her.

This Female Cultivator was not only beautiful but also exuded a unique aura of clean energy, making those who approached her feel as refreshed as if by a spring breeze.
