Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 798 - 252: It’s Time to End All This_2

"..." Wang Mu.

Am I really that formidable?

"So, killing him directly won’t solve the problem," Piao Miaoxu said. "But he’s burdened by karma and possesses endless Karma. By allying with him temporarily, using his hand to kill that Ascension Expert and seize the flame, I can then use that flame to incinerate his Karma. Afterward, I’ll absorb it for my own Cultivation."

"After that, killing him will be foolproof."

"This idea came to me the moment I saw that Ascension Expert’s flame," she continued.

"He certainly won’t suspect. A mere backstabbing won’t inflict the agony I intend for him."

"..." Wang Mu.

"When the time comes, you’ll absorb it with me," Piao Miaoxu whispered. "We’ll be able to ascend to a much stronger world. Even if he isn’t dead by then, once we’re in the Upper Realm, we can easily overpower him."

"..." Wang Mu.

She’s already considered Ascension.

Piao Miaoxu is still powerful.

"Next, we just wait for him to recover. I’ll help him restore his strength during this time," Piao Miaoxu said. "It will be fine when that powerful individual arrives; they will find this place eventually."

Being an Immortal official, it naturally wouldn’t be hard for that expert to find their hiding place. And if Piao Miaoxu had any doubts about that, she could simply have the Moon God leave a trace of aura to guide the Immortal official to them.

After discussing the plan with Wang Mu, everything continued as usual.

In the following months, Wang Mu cultivated the Heavenly Control Scripture, absorbed and controlled the Karmic Fire within his body, and secretly practiced the Seven Emotions True Fire Scripture.

At the same time, he communicated with the Moon God through the Divine Light Mirror to find out about Piao Miaoxu’s plans.

And so, Wang Mu learned of Piao Miaoxu’s plans.

「One day.」

[Moon God: This person is interesting!]

[Wang Mu: How so?]

[Moon God: He proposed an alliance with me to deal with that Immortal official. I agreed, as you instructed. During this time, we’ve been planning how to deal with him. His plan involves having the Immortal Cloud Kun strike first to restrain the Immortal official. Then, you and he will attack simultaneously, using a special Joint Attack Skill.]

[Wang Mu: What Joint Attack Skill?]

[Moon God: He said it’s called something like Beautiful Fist, which you also know.]

Wang Mu was taken aback.

The Beautiful Fist was originally created by An Qixiu.

This Martial Art is quite unique in the game. Only when cultivated to the highest Realm can its full power be unleashed. Its might is comparable to, or even surpasses, numerous other Secret Skills in the game, enabling one to break through limits far beyond their current Realm.

Its principle is actually quite simple: to unleash all of one’s strength in a single, instantaneous burst.

Therefore, the Beautiful Fist has a very high upper limit. For those who practice Body Refining, this move is even more potent.

In the game, the final scene depicts the player character using the Beautiful Fist to shatter the mysterious Gate of Apocalypse.

In a way, this Martial Art possesses an absurdly high potential.

Interestingly though, in the game, this fist technique isn’t very effective against Piao Miaoxu. Even when executed, it can’t kill her in a single strike.

The game doesn’t offer much explanation. The players’ understanding is simply that Piao Miaoxu is too powerful, her Attributes too high.

[Wang Mu: What else did he say?]

[Moon God: He said he has also learned this move and knows even more. He claims the original name of this Martial Art is Heaven and Earth Qiankun. It’s more convenient to execute as a fist technique, divided into the Qian Fist and Kun Fist. The Qian Fist can unleash power exceeding one’s own limits in a single move, possessing the mighty force to split open the heavens.]

[Moon God: The Kun Fist, on the other hand, can absorb all the power of the mortal realm, embodying a principle of primordial order, and can restore everything to its original state. It sounds incredibly profound! Do you in the Lower Realm truly possess techniques of an Immortal Technique level? It seems to involve Rule Power. He also said that when these two fists are combined, they form the Heaven and Earth Qiankun. With one active and one passive aspect, it’s enough to defeat any enemy in the world, though both users would fall into extreme weakness afterward.]

Wang Mu also felt it was somewhat subtle.

[Moon God: I said I didn’t believe him, and he scoffed, saying that the Heaven and Earth Qiankun was taught by the Ice Immortal in Stealing Heaven City, originally intended to counter him. Later, the Ice Immortal considered the technique too destructive, potentially catastrophic for this world, so it was divided.]

This explanation actually sounds quite credible.

After all, in the game, Stealing Heaven City was established by An Qixiu during her Sixth Life.

And Piao Miaoxu also originated from Stealing Heaven City.

If this is true...

Her plan is rather ingenious.

If both of them use this technique simultaneously, they would defeat the Immortal official, but both would end up severely weakened.

At that point, I definitely wouldn’t be able to move.

Meanwhile, Piao Miaoxu could absorb the Immortal official’s Karmic Fire to fully recover. Then, she could backstab me, watching as I’m consumed by shock and fury, before being burned to ashes by the Karmic Fire and eliminated.

Perfect.

From Piao Miaoxu’s perspective, this must be the most complete plan. The final piece of her scheme would undoubtedly involve Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing hadn’t heeded my words to return to her sect. She still came back, returning to "Wang Mu’s" side. It was unclear whether Piao Miaoxu was continuing to have her act as an undercover agent, or if she had returned of her own volition.

[Wang Mu: Agree to him.]

[Moon God: Really? I have a feeling he’s planning to use you. Might he have some other scheme up his sleeve?]

The Moon God seems to have gotten a bit smarter.

She actually sensed it.

Of course, only a little, not much.

[Wang Mu: While he is using me, I am also using him.]

[Moon God: That makes sense. Okay, but I don’t know any Beautiful Fist.]

[Wang Mu: When the time comes, I’ll take care of it myself.]

Ultimately, I have to star in this grand play myself.

[Moon God: That’s great, I’ll just watch the show when the time comes!!!]

After learning Piao Miaoxu’s plan, Wang Mu continued his Cultivation, as imperturbable as Mount Tai.

Of course, Piao Miaoxu would come by every day to give him some guidance.

Wang Mu did not ask Piao Miaoxu for the specifics of her plan.

It wasn’t until one day that she took the initiative to reveal her entire plan.

Only then could Wang Mu assess that, if trust or friendliness could be quantified, Piao Miaoxu’s towards him was almost at its peak.

"What do I need to do?"

"You don’t need to do anything! You’ve just started cultivating the Heavenly Control Scripture, so just observe quietly and focus on your Cultivation. Once everything is settled, you can come out and witness the fruits of your plan," Piao Miaoxu replied, patting Wang Mu’s shoulder. "After all, we owe this current situation to our fateful meeting in Wuyou Village."

"I keep feeling there’s something off about this formidable enemy of yours," Wang Mu said. "To join forces with you so readily after years of animosity to face a common foe... could there be other sinister plots involved?"

"Even if there are, I’m not afraid," Piao Miaoxu said indifferently.

"I want to meet him. Maybe I can spot something amiss..."

"That’s fine, go see him for yourself," Piao Miaoxu nodded slightly.

I know Dongfang Mu so well; if there were any problems, I would have noticed them long ago.

The Moon God had been placed in a cave dwelling within Beast King Mountain, which was easy to find.

Piao Miaoxu hadn’t noticed any issues. The reason was quite simple: every word the Moon God (Piao Miaoxu’s ’Dongfang Mu’) communicated to her was actually being secretly relayed by Wang Mu himself through the Divine Light Mirror.

Simply put, Piao Miaoxu was essentially communicating with Wang Mu.

Arriving at the cave dwelling, the first thing Wang Mu did was have the Moon God give him the Essence Blood of Immortal Official Qian Mo. After that, he checked on the Immortal Cloud Kun and found its condition much better than he had expected. He seized the opportunity to feed it some fish, giving it all the Immortal Item-grade fish he had caught in the reservoir.

This helped lift its spirits, preparing it for the upcoming battle.

Once the Immortal official is captured in the Demon Capturing Bottle, the Immortal Cloud Kun will likely have to return.

There won’t be another chance to use it then...

Then, he left. Everything important had already been communicated through the Divine Light Mirror.

As he departed, he took a glance at Gu Yuqing.

After cultivating the Heavenly Control Scripture, his Divine Sense could enter a consciousness space. Within this space, he could perceive the presence of both Piao Miaoxu and Gu Yuqing.

This must be the soul space of the Heavenly Demon race, akin to a network space... allowing for direct consciousness-to-consciousness communication.

This race is truly extraordinary.

No wonder Gu Yuqing could contact Piao Miaoxu from such a great distance before.

This ability was in no way inferior to the Divine Light Mirror.

But the Divine Light Mirror was a product of the Upper Realm.

In the Lower Realm, comparable Magic Artifacts were limited to Sound Transmission Talismans or certain special Life Soul Magical Artifacts. These could sense fellow disciples across vast distances but couldn’t facilitate real-time communication.

Next, all that was left was to wait.

「Until several days later.」

Dark clouds enveloped the Huangtian Continent, lightning flashed across the sky, and a figure materialized out of thin air above Beast King Mountain. Their aura was like a suspended ocean, threatening to overwhelm the very mountains.

The Immortal official had returned.

He’s here.

Wang Mu gazed into the Heavenly Vault, his eyes narrowed slightly. It’s time to end all of this.
