Chapter 797 - 252: It’s Time to End All This
"???"
I’m already Cultivating, yet she still needs to personally clear things up for me? Have I exposed myself? And now I have to shed my clothes as well?
Almost immediately, Wang Mu harbored some doubts.
What exactly does Piao Miaoxu want to do? If she touches my Demon Body, and it gets activated, she should be able to instantly recognize my identity, right?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Mu said, "This..."
"Don’t worry," Piao Miaoxu said. "This so-called clearing is just me guiding your circulation throughout your body. I have no other intentions."
"Um, I think I can do it myself."
"Do it yourself?" Piao Miaoxu pondered. "That’s not impossible, but it’s prone to errors and would be a waste of time."
Piao Miaoxu thought for a moment and seemed to understand something. "You don’t think that I, a Saint, would do anything improper to you, do you?"
After saying this, Piao Miaoxu scoffed a few times.
"That’s not it... it’s just that I feel like I can cultivate and also sense the kind of Karma you mentioned," Wang Mu said.
I’ll just use Action Points to directly enhance my Cultivation.
Piao Miaoxu didn’t stop him. Since he wanted to try, she figured she would let him.
To become a Heavenly Demon, one’s aptitude and potential are also crucial. If they’re too poor, even granting a Bloodline and Secret Technique might be futile.
Wang Mu sat cross-legged, concentrating as he began to cultivate the Heavenly Control Scripture.
Almost immediately upon starting, his initially languid body, like a dried sponge, began to swell as it absorbed water. The strand of Karmic Fire in his Sea of Consciousness immediately flared and fluctuated.
Indeed, this technique is identical to the Wuji Treasure Book... Wang Mu experienced Bright Enlightenment. Absorbing Karma for Cultivation is distinctly different from other skills in the Cultivation World. But after becoming a Heavenly Demon, when my own Karma is gone, will it affect others? He was unsure, only feeling his body subtly changing. His aging body slowly regained vitality. An indistinct feeling washed over him. This sensation was subtle, like standing in space overlooking the earth, or as if rocketing beyond the stars; his body and mind felt unconstrained, devoid of any blocks, ready to ride cosmic rays and leave this Mortal World at will.
"After becoming one of my kind, you are no longer bound by the Karma of this world," Piao Miaoxu said slowly. "No Cultivator can deduce our whereabouts; the soul steps out of this world, able to see a brighter world beyond."
Her words sounded profound, but in Wang Mu’s view, it was simply the inherent characteristic of a Heavenly Demon—similar to stepping outside the Five Elements, not being confined within the three realms. It was like the recent issue with the Dark Border’s seal; not even an Ascension Expert like Heroine Yan could have foreseen who was causing trouble. Otherwise, with such a seal, forget destroying it, merely approaching it would have alerted Heroine Yan.
After I become a Heavenly Demon, Heroine Yan and the others probably won’t be able to sense me, right? Wang Mu suddenly thought.
No wonder I feel as if a weight has been lifted. Outsiders wouldn’t perceive me, and other Cultivators would have even less of a chance. It’s like naturally gaining a layer of Divine Sense isolation. The most important thing is still being able to absorb Karma for Cultivation.
I never imagined I would also become a Heavenly Demon... Wang Mu mused with some emotion.
That’s about enough. I’ve learned what I needed from Piao Miaoxu. Next, it’s time to use her to deal with that Immortal Official Qian Mo and settle everything. Everything is coming back to the original purpose.
"It seems you indeed have the potential to become one of my kind," Piao Miaoxu said, patting Wang Mu’s shoulder in praise.
"After cultivating this technique..." Wang Mu said with a guilty expression, "I realized that I didn’t need to shield you from that flame back then. As an Ancient Sage, you should have been able to use that fire for your Cultivation, right?"
Piao Miaoxu smiled slightly and said, "Not necessarily. That fire is not from the Nine Provinces. Even if I absorbed it for Cultivation, my body would also be burned."
Actually, this was a later realization for her. Even if I wouldn’t be harmed, my disguised body is merely a product of the Heavenly Demon Technique; it would have slowly been destroyed under that fire. In that situation, I might have revealed my true form, and my identity as Dongfang Mu could have been exposed on the spot.
"What does the Saint plan to do next?" Wang Mu asked.
"For now, I have temporarily allied with this great enemy of mine," Piao Miaoxu mused. "According to your plan, I saved him and temporarily gained his trust. However, we were enemies for a thousand years, so this trust is only temporary. Deep down, he certainly can’t trust me.
"Even though..." She closed her eyes. "Right now, it might seem like we can join forces against our enemy, but it’s merely a pretense.
"Your plan isn’t actually bad," she continued, her tone even. "It’s just that you don’t understand the depth of the grievances between him and me. So, even if we follow your plan completely, it’s unlikely to achieve the result of him suffering immensely, as you hoped."
Wang Mu’s heart skipped a beat. He knew Piao Miaoxu wasn’t so easily fooled. She definitely had other plans.
"Although you don’t know these things, your plan does have its merits," Piao Miaoxu said slowly. "This great enemy of mine is the greatest Karma in this world. Now that you have become one of my kind, I’ll tell you about our upcoming plans."
Wang Mu listened attentively.
"The greatest Karma in the world?"
"Exactly," Piao Miaoxu said in a somber tone. "The reason I don’t kill him now is that even if I did, he might not die easily. The Karma he bears is too heavy; even if I killed him myself, he could still revive in another form."
