Chapter 757 - 239: Sea King Dongfang Mu
The Moon Immortal’s words left Wang Mu’s mind momentarily blank.
He had asked the Moon Immortal to look into this because he wanted to see if he could find a breakthrough from this angle.
Otherwise, if Piao Miaoxu, that major antagonist, committed some outrageous act using Dongfang Mu’s identity, he would end up taking the blame, which would be truly miserable!
Wang Mu could guess all too well what sort of things Piao Miaoxu, masquerading as him, would do.
When that happened, she would first create chaos, then cast off her disguise and reveal her true identity. By then, all the spears in the Nine States would undoubtedly point toward him...
Even... it was possible that several of the female leads currently in seclusion might be affected.
Just thinking about this made Wang Mu’s scalp tingle.
If he confronted her head-on, she, relying on having already subdued the Three Saints of Beast King Mountain, would then use them to fight him. In such a clash, someone would inevitably be injured, and he would be the one to suffer the loss.
Although Wang Mu had yet to meet those three "pets" from the game all those years ago, he knew their strength; even the Jinmao Rat had said they were at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
That meant he would have to think of other methods.
That was why he had asked about this.
Moreover, the fact that this major antagonist possessed a romantic fate was quite peculiar...
Now that he heard it, he understood. Her fate was that of the Heavenly Slaughter Star—no wonder...
Indeed, for someone like Piao Miaoxu, it was already fortunate she didn’t keep male consorts; who could possibly tame her?
"Can you really do it?" Wang Mu asked. "It’s not that I want to try, but this Dongfang Mu... well, something is definitely off with him. He might cause destruction, possibly even interrupting your inspection mission in the Lower Realm."
"Oh?" The Moon God was curious. "Isn’t Dongfang Mu an Ancient Sage? If it’s really him, his name is also very famous in the Upper Realm. How could he cause destruction?"
"Famous in the Upper Realm too?" Wang Mu was stunned. "A mere Lower Realm Saint is connected to your Upper Realm?"
"I’ve heard a bit..." The Moon God pondered. "I can’t tell you too much about the affairs of the Upper Realm. This person is a great bearer of Qi Fortune who changes heaven and earth. Naturally, to possess romantic fate, he must also find someone with matching Qi Fortune. However, such a Saint shouldn’t have the destiny of a loner..."
Indeed, Dongfang Mu’s renown was certainly much greater than Mr. Tian’s.
After all, he was the legitimate chosen one who opened the Gate of Apocalypse.
Without the Gate of Apocalypse, there wouldn’t be today’s Cultivation World, and perhaps Xiao Li wouldn’t have been able to achieve Ascension with the entire nation back then.
Of course, speaking of which, Wang Mu was quite interested in how Xiao Li had managed to achieve Ascension with the whole nation...
"Then this person might be an imposter..." Wang Mu said, following the Moon God’s line of thought.
"Judging from the romantic fate I sensed, it’s indeed possible..." the Moon God concurred.
"If he’s an imposter..." Wang Mu continued, "think about it. Why would someone impersonate a Saint? There must be some plot behind it, right?"
"So what if there is?" the Moon God wondered. "The disputes of your Lower Realm have nothing to do with me. I am responsible for the romantic fate in this realm... If you want to use me to confront her, that’s not going to work."
The Moon God shook her head repeatedly, looking like an innocent child. "I am the distinguished Upper Realm Moon Immortal. It is against Immortal regulations to use my abilities against mortals in the Lower Realm."
You have quite the principles, eh?
"If..." The Moon God’s eyes flickered. "If you continue to tell me the story of that Imperial Princess and the Strategist in the future, I might consider letting you try it out personally."
"Isn’t that breaking Immortal regulations?" Wang Mu inquired.
"It’s different. This is promoting the joining of lives in the Lower Realm," the Moon God said, shaking her head with a playful air. "It’s not that I want to confront anyone. Whether it works out or not is up to both parties."
"..." Wang Mu.
So your principles are pretty flexible.
Exploiting loopholes, are we?
"The main issue is..." the Moon God said, "this Dongfang Mu’s destiny is too peculiar, and any random romantic link could harm others. Your Qi Fortune is very strong. After all, you are a Cultivator who has passed the Moon Palace test."
She almost let it slip.
"Why don’t you try it yourself? Even if it doesn’t work out, no harm will come of it."
"How exactly do you do this?"
"Simple. Just wrap your red string around him. That way, you two are bound to have a coincidental encounter..."
"What if we already know each other?"
"It will have no impact."
"This kind of encounter, is it just between the two of us?"
"More or less."
Wang Mu’s heart stirred. This was an opportunity.
But is it really possible?
If I venture out with the Immortal Cloud Kun, would Piao Miaoxu be foolish enough to meet me?
Wang Mu was skeptical.
"However, this Dongfang Mu seems to be a man..." the Moon God hesitated. "Although I have no discrimination in that regard..."
"Oh, it doesn’t matter," Wang Mu said. "This person is impersonating Dongfang Mu and intends to cause chaos, which could easily lead to turmoil across the Nine Provinces. It’s best if it can be resolved quickly."
"You..." The Moon God sounded unconvinced. "Why do you always speak ill of him? What if he’s real? Even for an Ancient Sage, after so many years, couldn’t his destiny have changed?"
"Then let’s wait and see," Wang Mu replied.
Wang Mu felt helpless.
With Piao Miaoxu’s methods, she’ll likely sweep through all of the Nine States soon.
"Fine. If it’s as you say, I’ll let you two try it out," the Moon God said. "As for how you handle it afterward, that’s your own business."
The two walked side by side, slowly heading toward Qianzhou from Li State.
They were heading to Qianzhou mainly because it was home to the most Cultivators and best represented the Nine Provinces.
The romantic fate of that place was also quite chaotic, and the Moon God, visiting the Lower Realm as part of her inspection, naturally had to take a look.
