Chapter 763 - 241: Using Oneself as Bait!
Forming a connection meant being entwined in cause and effect. In fact, Wang Mu believed that he and Piao Miaoxu were already far too entangled in cause and effect. If forming a connection could allow him to find Piao Miaoxu alone and eliminate her, that would naturally be best.
Ever since Piao Miaoxu had regained control of the Three Saints of Beast King Mountain, Wang Mu knew that this antagonist possessed profoundly extraordinary abilities in certain respects. Needless to say, she understood him—no, Dongfang Mu—quite thoroughly.
A direct confrontation would certainly fail.
As for imitating Sun Wukong in distinguishing the true from the false before The Buddha, there wasn’t anyone in the Nine Provinces who could assume The Buddha’s role.
It was even possible that even if Bi You and the others came out of seclusion, they might not be able to discern the truth from the falsehood in a short time.
Perhaps only if Sixth Generation Immortal An Qixiu were revived could she directly recognize it.
Because Piao Miaoxu was a Heavenly Demon and An Qixiu was her old adversary, An Qixiu naturally had a thorough grasp of a Heavenly Demon’s abilities.
Regrettably, while he now possessed the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, he couldn’t use Essence Blood to activate it. If he tried to cultivate and recover to his former state, Piao Miaoxu certainly wouldn’t give him the chance; she was probably already scheming against him.
"Do you remember her birthday?" the Moon God asked. "With a birthday, forming a connection is more stable, easier."
"I know," Wang Mu said after a pause.
As the main antagonist in the game, Wang Mu knew all of Piao Miaoxu’s information.
Subsequently, Wang Mu flew with the Moon God to the wilderness of Qianzhou and set up a Barrier.
"Step aside for a moment," the Moon God said. "I am going to use a magic treasure from the Upper Realm..."
What’s so special about that? Wang Mu thought. The Immortal Binding Rope and Demon Capturing Bottle are also magic treasures from the Upper Realm... although I can’t use them.
Wang Mu left the Barrier, guarding it from the outside.
"This boy..."
The Moon God pondered, Let me see... who is this person impersonating Dongfang Mu? Dongfang Mu is a Saint, extraordinary even in the Upper Realm, his heavenly fate immeasurable... Daring to impersonate such a person and causing such upheaval... how strange...
A small, exquisite Red Embroidery Ball appeared in the Moon God’s hands.
With a light tap of her fingertips, the Red Embroidery Ball transformed into a blurred human figure.
Based on the birthdate and age Wang Mu provided, and the human figure it transformed into, it’s indeed different from the statues of Dongfang Mu I saw before... It seems they are not the same person, the Moon God mused.
An Upper Realm magic treasure: the Red Line Marriage Ball.
This was a causal-level magic treasure, extremely rare even in the Upper Realm.
As an Immortal official in the Upper Realm in charge of mortal romantic destinies, she had many methods to discern them.
For instance, with ordinary mortals, she could directly see through much with her romantic destiny divine vision.
But to fully understand a person’s romantic experiences, or to alter them, she still needed to use this kind of causal magic treasure.
Especially after descending to the Lower Realm, her Immortal Body was restricted by the rules of this world, preventing her from exerting much of her power. Consequently, for Cultivators with stronger Qi Fortune, she could discern even less with her vision alone.
To understand, she still needed this magic treasure.
The Moon God focused, chanting a string of immortal incantations. The Red Line Embroidery Ball in her palm rapidly changed into the shape of a woman.
Oh? It’s actually a woman? the Moon God mused. Is this boy trying to get involved with other women again? With so many love tribulations already, he still dares to mess around? But he doesn’t seem to be playing around this time. Could this person be his enemy?
The Moon God chuckled in amusement, closely observing the woman formed from the Red Embroidery Ball.
Most of the figure was very vague. This means her Qi Fortune is extremely terrifying—no, not terrifying, but rather...
A life existing outside the causality of all realms? the Moon God gasped. Even the Marriage Ball cannot fully manifest her... This woman impersonating Dongfang Mu has an extraordinary origin indeed. Her fate truly is that of ’Emotion Poison, a Lone Star’; my analysis wasn’t wrong... This implies that the things she did while impersonating Dongfang Mu created no romantic cause and effect whatsoever... She purely had other motives. Pity those women she ensnared; it’s truly infuriating!
Though that boy Wang Mu is also a philanderer, at least he invests genuine emotion, right? Otherwise, why would so many Emotional Threads be entwined around him?
For the Emotional Threads on the Marriage Ball to actively intertwine, both parties must have feelings. If either party lacks emotion, it cannot be called a romantic destiny; it’s merely one-sided affection or, perhaps, driven by ulterior motives.
Even if I were to use a magic treasure to create a connection, it would only forcibly wind an Emotional Thread around another person. If no feelings developed between them in the course of their romantic destiny, the thread would gradually loosen.
So, from the Emotional Threads, one can directly see whether both parties have feelings.
I can only fulfill my duties as an Immortal; in the end, it still depends on human fate.
The Moon God hesitated for a moment then drew out a slightly thicker strand of Emotional Thread—it was Wang Mu’s. Very unique... So unique that she often couldn’t understand it... because such a thick Emotional Thread, once entwined around someone else...
Well... the thickness of Emotional Threads is often related to one’s personal fate.
The thicker it is, the ’harder’ one’s fate, meaning they can form romantic destinies with many people. Conversely, those with thinner Emotional Threads often have ’softer’ fates; they might only be able to handle one or two relationships before being overwhelmed by the fate of their partner.
Wang Mu’s Emotional Thread was not only thick but also extremely resilient, truly extraordinary.
Such a fate was unique in the Nine Provinces.
Judging by this fellow’s Emotional Thread, it’s quite possible he’s a descendant of that Regent King from our dynasty’s history... the Moon God became increasingly certain.
The next step, forming the connection, was simple: use immortal power to wind the Emotional Thread around the image of the woman formed by the Marriage Ball.
