Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 795 - 251: Piao Miaoxu: Let me help you clear your body

Wang Mu had passed Beast King Mountain many times, but this was his first actual visit.

Guided by two Horned Goat-Horned Little Demons wielding forked weapons, Wang Mu ascended the mountain. He was then led by a demon wearing a fox-head mask to the Three Saints Cave, where he met Piao Miaoxu.

He now appeared even more ancient, a flicker in his eyes like a long-lasting lamp illuminating the last vestiges of his life.

"Good, good, good!"

Piao Miaoxu recognized him at a glance, undisguised joy in her eyes. "You’re not dead!"

"After I escaped, that Ascension Expert pursued you, Saint," Wang Mu said. "I was fortunate to survive, but that flame was extraordinary. I’m nearly spent now. I only came to see if you, Ancient Sage, had found a solution to our grave predicament and if your heart is at ease."

Piao Miaoxu sighed several times, her eyes reflecting his image, her thoughts unreadable.

"Your plan has succeeded," Piao Miaoxu stated. "I’ve temporarily allied with him. That Ascension Expert is indeed too much for me to handle alone, but his power will be useful. In time, he will taste every suffering this mortal world has to offer."

As she spoke, a flicker in Piao Miaoxu’s eyes suggested she was recalling Mu Hongyuan’s betrayal.

"He will slowly learn the taste of betrayal..." Piao Miaoxu said softly, "especially Gu Yuqing..."

"Then, Ancient Sage, about what you promised me before..." Wang Mu interjected.

"Are you referring to the Third Princess?" Piao Miaoxu mused. "Your contribution to this success was indispensable. I can offer you a far greater reward—I can even grant you eternal life."

You really dare to make such a claim! Wang Mu thought. Eternal life? Are you yourself eternal? Ah, no, that’s not quite right. From the perspective of reincarnation, Heavenly Demon King Di Chen is indeed eternal. But that kind of eternity is meaningless.

"Eternal life?" Wang Mu feigned surprise. "How could that be possible?"

As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, this was naturally of greater concern to him.

Seeing his reaction, Piao Miaoxu wore an expression that said she had anticipated this.

"I am a Saint. How could I be incapable of such a feat? I am merely asking if you are willing."

"If it’s true, I would like to try..." Wang Mu nodded.

"Very well. Then follow me." Piao Miaoxu clasped her hands behind her back and walked towards the cave’s inner chamber.

The Three Saints Cave was usually bustling with Little Demons in attendance, but now it was deserted.

He followed Piao Miaoxu into the inner chamber.

The inner chamber was open to the sky, resembling a special cultivation ground. One could look up to see the moon, and the area was surrounded by intricate Formations, clearly prepared long in advance.

Wang Mu didn’t know what Piao Miaoxu intended and decided to proceed cautiously, taking things as they came.

They walked to the center. Piao Miaoxu paused and asked, "In your opinion, what distinguishes a Saint from an ordinary person?"

"Naturally... they are different," Wang Mu replied.

"Precisely. They are indeed different." With a light wave of Piao Miaoxu’s hand, the surrounding Formations blazed to life.

Instantly, the world seemed to transform. The cave walls, like a vast canvas, were bathed in layers of light and began to rapidly display intricate patterns.

"My clan has always taken upon itself the duty... to save the world," Piao Miaoxu said, her voice carrying a hint of sorrow. "But alas, my great enemy was too powerful. In a truly ancient era, he slaughtered my people and brought calamity to the world."

Wang Mu remained silent. Isn’t she basically talking about herself? Is she trying to brainwash me?

"Although my clan has dwindled, our Bloodline and unique Cultivation Secret Method endure," Piao Miaoxu continued. "My own Cultivation does not rely solely on the Spiritual Power of this world."

"There are many forces in this world imperceptible to most Cultivators. Are you aware of this?"

Wang Mu nodded, indicating his understanding.

He had a growing suspicion about Piao Miaoxu’s intentions. Does she intend to turn me into a Heavenly Demon? To teach me the Cultivation Method of Heavenly Demons? That often requires a special power source for Transformation and the awakening of abilities.

For instance, Gu Yuqing had used that piece of ancient wood to cultivate the Skill Piao Miaoxu taught her, thereby transforming into a Heavenly Demon Body. When Wang Mu had sensed her previously, he knew Gu Yuqing was different. Wang Mu wasn’t sure if Gu Yuqing was entirely under Piao Miaoxu’s control.

"Look..." Piao Miaoxu gestured to the shifting panorama around them.

The images displayed depicted what seemed to be a vision of a very ancient era: a time of immense turmoil, with countless clans warring across a vast, desolate land, wreathed in the smoke of battle—a scene of utter chaos. Within this vision, numerous colored torrents swirled.

"These... these currents..." Piao Miaoxu pointed to the torrents. "These are from my era. They are not Spiritual Power, but Karma generated by the world’s turmoil. The more chaotic the world, the more Karma is produced. The more Karma, the more chaotic the world becomes—a vicious cycle."

Wang Mu nodded slowly.

"Our clan," Piao Miaoxu said with a solemn expression, "dedicated itself to absorbing this Karma, channeling it into our own Cultivation. By doing so, we sought to gradually eliminate the world’s calamities, ushering in an era of peace."

Wang Mu was momentarily stunned. Not bad, Piao Miaoxu, spinning it like that, are we? Wasn’t the world’s chaos largely your doing back in the day? No wonder she was once a major villain; she certainly has a talent for deception.

"So that’s how it is!" Wang Mu exclaimed, feigning sudden enlightenment. "The Ancient Sage takes upon herself the burdens of the world, absorbing its Karma. That must be an arduous path, surely?"

"Let us not dwell on past hardships," Piao Miaoxu said. "Being suffused with Karma is initially agonizing. However, over time, my clan discovered how to cultivate this Karma to strengthen ourselves."

"This requires a special kind of constitution," Piao Miaoxu continued. "You were recently burned by an extraordinary flame. That flame can incinerate worldly Karma, and indeed, it has burned away the Karma you carried."
