Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 559 - 187: Dongfang Mu, I have come in person to catch you this time!_2

「Li State, somewhere.」

Underneath an ancient throne, a figure shrouded in darkness slowly asked, "Failed?" The voice was incredulous. "How could it fail? Didn't you say it was about to succeed? Besides, with the power of the Heavenly Demon, even if that old Taoist from Tianlu Temple discovered you, you could have easily dealt with him. So, how could it fail? Moreover, the cultivators of today should have never witnessed the strength of a Heavenly Demon. How could they possibly defend against it?"

The man in black, kneeling below, gradually recounted the process.

"What?" the figure exclaimed. "Wang Mu? He's still alive... Impossible..."

The shadow in the darkness stepped out, revealing a sinisterly beautiful face. Though wearing a long robe, one eye was normal and the other malicious, giving an incredibly odd appearance. Within that malevolent eye, however, a peculiar light flickered. "The Sky-cutting Sword was supposed to have slain him... How could he still be alive? Could it be that Yan Sword Immortal..." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The air fell into a momentary silence.

「After a while.」

"Holy Master, what should we do next?" the man in black asked. "This fiend's influence has grown considerably; he may become a great enemy to our Holy Sect! Although the Demon Lord has been resurrected, he is occupied with affairs in Xilu Land and can hardly pay attention to this side. Without the Holy Beast, Li State will be beyond our control. Moreover, Wang Mu also has an Ascension Realm Taoist couple, so it will be very difficult for us to deal with him."

'Gu Yuqing' let out a cold smirk. "With those few assisting him, even Shuo Wuji would find it difficult to deal with him if he came here. This man carries great Qi Fortune; he's not someone ordinary people can handle. In the past, he could..."

HAH...

At this, 'Gu Yuqing' paused, seemingly unwilling to continue. "Never mind. Tell me in more detail, how did he appear at Tianlu Temple?"

The man in black once again recounted the events in detail.

"I understand. You may go now. Head to Xilu Land and assist Shuo Wuji," 'Gu Yuqing' said, waving her hand. "As for Wang Mu, I have my own ways to handle him."

"Yes." The man in black withdrew.

As he slowly vanished, 'Gu Yuqing' was left alone in the vast, dark space.

"'Interesting. You didn't die, and you even ran off to Li State..." 'Gu Yuqing' mused. "It seems that Yan Sword Immortal of the Immortal Slaying Sect, despite severing her ties with the Immortal Path, didn't sever her past affections for you."

"What do you mean?" Suddenly, 'Gu Yuqing's' expression changed, and as if talking to herself, she asked aloud, "What relationship could Yan Sword Immortal possibly have with Brother Wang?"

HMPH. 'Gu Yuqing's' malicious eye twitched.

Thinking back to that final battle, I was defeated by that man and his several beloved women. A thousand years have passed; all his beloved women have become Ascension Experts, while I am merely a Residual Soul... But so what if I'm a Residual Soul? I, Piao Miaoxu, am more than capable of dealing with them, even as a Residual Soul!

"The first batch from back then... none of them have achieved Ascension to this day..." 'Gu Yuqing' spoke, as if to herself. "It seems they were all closely connected to him. HAH, they truly are a group of lovesick women... He clearly slew himself with the Sky-cutting Sword, yet Yan Sword Immortal did not ascend... Then she even defied the Immortal Slaying Sect... TSK, TSK... truly a pair of lovesick fools."

Now you've come to Li State, either for Cultivation or to help your Yan Sword Immortal... Or perhaps for both. The major event in Li State recently... is the descent of the Moon Palace. And he's at Tianlu Temple. If it's for Cultivation, it must be for the Divine Skill of Tianlu Temple... and he's even going to great lengths to aid Tianlu Temple... You and I share memories. Thanks to your experiences, I knew even before coming here that Tianlu Temple possesses a scripture, the Emperor Earth Scripture... Could it be that's what he's there for?

'Gu Yuqing's' eyes narrowed. Moon Palace... such a fortunate event. One must possess the Li State Bloodline to participate in such a blessed land... Li State, now isn't that a good place.

'Gu Yuqing' suddenly let out an evil chuckle.

"What are you planning to do?" The righteous aspect of her gaze sharpened as the original 'Gu Yuqing' persona spoke coldly.

"I'm not planning to do anything..." the Piao Miaoxu persona within 'Gu Yuqing' replied indifferently. "Before coming to Li State, I gathered information. Many factions are preparing to head to the Moon Palace to seek a thread of opportunity. However, cultivators from the Outer Continent need the Li State Bloodline to participate. Your Brother Wang most likely came to Li State for the opportunities in the Moon Palace. He hasn't concealed his identity, nor does he possess the Li State Bloodline. Yet, with an Ascension Realm Taoist couple for support, it's difficult for him to form the necessary connections in Li State through ordinary means, so he must find another way.

"When I was making plans concerning the Desert Sea Plain, I learned something about Tianlu Temple. Apparently, their Emperor Earth Scripture allows one to cultivate an Earth Form Body. This is equivalent to possessing the Li State Bloodline, granting access to the great opportunity of the Moon Palace. His current appearance at Tianlu Temple, and his strenuous efforts to aid them, must be for cultivating this Emperor Earth Scripture to achieve an Earth Form Body, thereby gaining entry to the Moon Palace. However, the scripture is extremely difficult to master, and there are only a few months left until the Moon Palace opens. To cultivate this legacy Skill of the esteemed Tianlu Temple in such a short time, even with exceptional Talent, requires the aid of a blessed land.

"Originally, Tianlu Temple's Desert Sea Plain was itself a blessed land for cultivating the Emperor Earth Scripture. But the Heavenly Demon absorbed its terrestrial energy. Although Wang Mu intervened to stop it, the plain won't recover anytime soon. Therefore, he must find another blessed land—one aligned with the Earth element of the Five Elements! According to the information my people gathered previously on the distribution of power in Li State, the most famous such place, and one on good terms with Tianlu Temple, is Bishui Grotto Heaven. Conveniently, it contains a secret domain, the Water Moon Immortal Forest, which is a fertile land and a treasure for Cultivation."
