Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 528 - 178 Sword Practice by the Pond, Yan’s Nest on the Pasture_5

Chapter 528: Chapter 178 Sword Practice by the Pond, Yan’s Nest on the Pasture_5

However, the pain was gone now. There were too many details—details Wang Mu had never seen before.

So real, too real!

"This Illusion Realm trial is really good."

Wang Mu sighed. If the other trials were like this, allowing him to practice every day, Wang Mu believed he would readily accept them.

Yan Qingwu did not speak at first.

Practicing Swordsmanship in the pond required an extremely high level of skill.

"To cultivate this sword... do not be distracted..." Heroine Yan spoke softly, "You must... concentrate, otherwise... you cannot... master it, and you should not have... any other... thoughts."

Her voice was intermittent, interspersed with the faint, exceptionally melodious hum of a sword.

"Don’t worry, I’m very focused at this moment," Wang Mu said. "I have no other thoughts right now... just one: to master this sword."

Soon, Wang Mu retracted his hands from the sword hilt.

After gripping it and resonating with the sword, the Sword had gained sufficient Sword Intent.

It was time to formally practice Swordsmanship.

The next moment.

This Swordsmanship, under their joint Cultivation, began to burst forth with tremendous power.

In the pond, waves surged like the tide, rising tumultuously, accompanied by continuous SPLASHING sounds.

Two Divine Swords intertwined in the water. Their formidable power created a giant water curtain. The Swords CLASHED and RANG as spray dispersed from the curtain.

An unknown amount of time passed. Wang Mu felt completely at ease; the sword in his hand had never felt so exhilaratingly satisfying.

Inner breath circulated throughout his body, and it felt as if his very soul was letting out a roar of pure satisfaction.

On the other side, the sword hum from Heroine Yan’s hand was low and deep, yet it also carried a sense of joy.

"Heroine Yan’s Swordsmanship is truly formidable..."

Wang Mu sighed, checking his Cultivation progress.

[Cultivation: ...Bed Skill (+)...]

? Wang Mu was perplexed. This system isn’t serious. I’m clearly practicing Swordsmanship. What does it have to do with Bed Skill?

Wang Mu shook his head.

After pondering for a moment, he still allocated a point to it.

Soon, the sword hum changed from a deep thrum to a clear ring.

A humming Sword indicated an overflowing and irrepressible Sword Intent, which caused the Sword itself to resonate with sound.

...

"Heroine Yan, for this Swordsmanship, we should switch up our approach..."

"How... to switch?"

"Mixed Element stems from Yin and Yang. This Swordsmanship is related to Yin and Yang, which requires circulation. What do you think?"

"I don’t understand..."

"Yin and Yang circulate, with Yin above and Yang below."

Water Blooms in Four Streams; at times turbulent, at others, gentle ripples spread...

「Half a day later.」

Wang Mu had mastered the Swordsmanship. Leaving Anle Village, he once again slew Piao Miaoxu, the Great Demon, with a single sword strike. This feat, after years of silence, startled the world. Then, with a punch, he shattered the Heavenly Gate once more.

"I’m very satisfied with this Illusion Realm trial."

Although the end result was the same, Wang Mu felt this Illusion Realm trial experience was profoundly different.

He had lived peacefully in Anle Village with Heroine Yan for more than ten years. Finally mastering a Divine Sword technique, he became invincible in the world, slaying Piao Miaoxu as easily as killing a dog. It was too effortless.

Finally, looking towards the Gate of Apocalypse, Wang Mu knew this was destiny.

There was no way around it.

Ultimately, he had to face it. Turning back to glance once more at Heroine Yan—her face radiant, her beauty touched with an alluring charm—he broke through the Gate of Apocalypse and re-entered his own cycle of rebirth.

...

「In a daze.」

Wang Mu suddenly awoke.

His vision was filled with a misty expanse of clouds.

He could see the sky.

His body throbbed with a tearing pain, yet his soul felt a trickle of exquisite comfort.

Very strange.

He checked his condition...

Huh? When did my Sword Dao Golden Core condense?

I’m not dead? And I’ve even formed a Sword Dao Golden Core?

Wang Mu exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, he could actually sense what was inside his body.

Inside his Fifth Spirit Acupoint, a Sword Core, enveloped in numerous shining threads of light, was resting.

The Green Blood Sword was also lying inside, quietly being nurtured.

Sword Core Realm!

The Seven Emotions Sword Heart had condensed into a Golden Core!

?

Wang Mu stood up and looked around. The area was filled with rugged, misshapen rocks and drifting mist.

Where was this place?

"Awake?" A familiar voice drifted over from the side.

Wang Mu looked over.

He saw a woman in white standing nearby, her back to him, revealing only a beautiful silhouette.

Her three thousand strands of black silk-like hair, soft and lustrous, were loosely tied up, looking somewhat disheveled...

Wang Mu took a deep breath and continued to sense the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram.

Only Yan Qingwu’s image was fully illuminated on the diagram.

Elder Yan?

Didn’t she achieve Ascension?

What’s going on?

Surely, I didn’t die for nothing?

"You... didn’t achieve Ascension?" Wang Mu struggled to his feet, feeling refreshed and his body brimming with power.

As he asked, he continued to sense his state.

[Cultivation: Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram (5)]

The Fifth Layer already?

When did I cultivate this diagram?

"I have found the Great Taoist Path; there is no need for Ascension," Elder Yan said indifferently.

I don’t get it.

Wang Mu didn’t quite understand what she meant.

Does this mean she has carved out her own Great Taoist Path? Without needing Ascension? Has she already transcended the rules of this Cultivation world?

"But you..." Elder Yan said softly, "why would you do such a thing? Are you afraid of death?"

"I am afraid of death, but Dongfang Mu is not," Wang Mu said.

If Elder Yan has truly found the Great Taoist Path, broken the rules of this world, and disregarded the Upper Realm, she must have completely severed her emotions in pursuit of the Dao.

Speaking of which, given Elder Yan’s current attitude, has the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram truly lit up?

This diagram seems to be merely an Ascension identifier... Could it be that it has nothing to do with emotions? As long as they survive Crossing Tribulation and achieve Ascension, it will illuminate... But Elder Yan hasn’t achieved Ascension... Uh...

Wang Mu pondered to himself.

Elder Yan was silent for a while, then said, "Dongfang Mu... is already dead."

"You are still alive."

"..."

"By the way, where is this place?" Wang Mu asked.
