Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 778 - 246: It must be hard to be fond of someone who doesn’t care about you at all, right?

Without thinking, Wang Mu knew that Piao Miaoxu’s mind was probably indulging in fantasies...

Wang Mu was silent, judging that Piao Miaoxu’s current direction should be towards the Tianlin Continent.

However, along the way, Piao Miaoxu stopped.

"Your Life Span is running out, which isn’t a big deal to me," Piao Miaoxu said calmly. "Once we reach the Tianlin Continent, I have a Pill Master there to concoct a Treasure Pill to extend your Life Span, so there’s no need for you to worry."

Wang Mu nodded without saying much.

After revealing his identity, countless powerful beings had been following Piao Miaoxu; it was normal for some of them to be skilled in Alchemy.

For Wang Mu, their presence was inconsequential. The main thing was that, by being at Piao Miaoxu’s side, he could meet those people around her.

Moreover, Wang Mu already had the next plan in his mind.

"Why does the Saint stop here?" Wang Mu looked around and found that they were at the borders of Ling Province.

"Do you remember that Nameless Alchemist?"

"I remember."

"That person is actually the beloved of my archenemy." Piao Miaoxu surveyed the surroundings. "I took her away and, when I went to the Changqing Tree, I sealed her in a treasure land at the border of Ling Province, right here."

"This is a treasure land of Ling Province." Piao Miaoxu stood in the void, her black robe billowing. "An Elder from the Riding Phoenix Clan told me that at the border of Ling Province, there’s a special treasure land named the Heart Wood Ancient Land."

"This place grows a kind of ancient wood that’s been withered for over a thousand years. I need this kind of wood as a medium to revive and awaken one of my companions."

Companion?

Heavenly Demon?

Wang Mu’s heart skipped a beat.

As the Master of Heavenly Demon, Piao Miaoxu would certainly not give up on reviving those Heavenly Demons. Previously, she had only revived a few due to limits imposed by her identity and power, which Wang Mu himself had dealt with. Now, by enlisting the help of so many powerful beings and exploiting numerous channels of information, she would naturally revive other Heavenly Demons. These Heavenly Demons shared her Attributes, but unlike her, they had been slumbering longer and had stricter requirements for awakening. Currently unable to practice the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill or use the Demon Suppression God Seal, dealing with these Heavenly Demons was going to be even more troublesome. This was also one of the reasons Wang Mu didn’t want to confront Piao Miaoxu directly.

"Does this matter?"

"Of course it matters..." Piao Miaoxu said. "The withered wood from the Heart Wood Ancient Land requires special blood to rejuvenate, and that Pill Master’s blood happens to be perfect for bringing this piece of ancient wood back to life."

"Moreover, once my subordinate is revived, even without those life-extending Elixirs, it will increase your Life Span, ensuring you can continue your Cultivation journey indefinitely."

It should be Gu Yuqing... Gu Yuqing’s Constitution was indeed unique.

"This..." Wang Mu hesitated for a moment. "As a Saint, shouldn’t we... She is just a beloved friend of your archenemy, whose nature of right and wrong we don’t know. To put her in such a predicament, is it not..."

With a small smile, Piao Miaoxu said, "You don’t understand. As an Ancient Saint, my enemy is one who seeks to destroy this world. His beloved is also a calamity to this world. You might not believe me, but you do not know what Special Physique she possesses."

"Let me tell you this, with just a wave of her hand, every male cultivator beneath these heavens would be under her control."

"Can you imagine the havoc my enemy could wreak on the Nine Provinces if he exploited his beloved’s Special Physique?"

"So powerful?" Wang Mu feigned surprise.

Gu Yuqing’s Constitution was indeed that powerful... Yet Piao Miaoxu’s ability to manipulate was indeed something, as strong as Wang Mu’s or stronger.

"Of course..." Piao Miaoxu explained, "And by doing this, I am not condemning her to death but helping her escape the abyss of misery. Once her Essence Blood merges with the ancient wood, her Constitution will slowly fade away. She won’t die; instead, she will be reborn."

"Reborn?"

"She will be free from the control of my enemy and become a friend to our side."

Wang Mu understood. Piao Miaoxu intended to use Gu Yuqing as a vessel for reviving a Heavenly Demon. A well-thought-out plan indeed. Once Gu Yuqing was under her control, Piao Miaoxu could naturally deal with Mu Hongyuan next. And the method was likely to be the same as with Ao Qing.

Wang Mu looked ahead. They had been traveling for a long time; they were now at the border, the border between Ling Province and Tianlin Continent.

At the junction, a purple haze of a Barrier enveloped the area. Fog filled the Barrier, and patches of withered vegetation could be faintly seen, seemingly devoid of all vitality. In a Continent like Ling Province, where Spiritual Energy was dense, it was rare to see such an environment.

This kind of territory often had a certain secrecy, and despite Wang Mu’s multiple visits to Ling Province, he had never heard of such a place. It must have been manifested through special means; that’s the advantage of having great power. Most hidden treasure lands were only known to those with high Cultivation levels and the leaders of powerful forces. This was particularly true for places like Ling Province.

"What do I need to do?" Wang Mu asked directly.

"Good!" Piao Miaoxu laughed heartily. "I like your attitude. To be honest, though that piece of ancient wood is withered, it possesses a Spiritual nature. It cannot rejuvenate unless it receives genuine blood willingly given. If I were to use force—knock her unconscious and draw her blood—the withered wood would very likely transform into a Demon Wood, which would be detrimental to me."

"I also wouldn’t be able to revive my companion."

"Therefore, she must be willing."

Piao Miaoxu looked at him expectantly. "You have a clear mind; do you think you could persuade her?"
