Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 777 - 245 Wang Mu: The Ancient Sage Was Indeed Wise!_2

Upon completing this side quest, a player could subdue a Big Eagle pet comparable to a second-rate expert.

Moreover, this pet could learn Martial Arts. Once it broke through to the Innate Realm, the player could take the Big Eagle to the secret realm of the Wa Clan Sacred Land.

In the secret realm, the player could witness the legendary battle between the Wa God and their ancestor, the Heavenly Peng Divine Eagle. At that point, a special battle would occur. By joining forces to defeat the phantom of the ancestral Heavenly Peng Divine Eagle, the player could unlock more powerful Bloodlines and talents for the Big Eagle. This would allow it to achieve its ultimate form in the game and earn the title Heavenly Peng Eagle.

This was the Big Eagle pet’s storyline, which primarily involved nurturing.

The Big Eagle’s aptitude was exceptionally high, not inferior to Nanrong Biyou’s.

As a powerful pet in the game, nurturing it was immensely rewarding.

The Black Bear had the lowest aptitude but could learn the most Martial Arts.

The Big Eagle, with its unique Bloodline, could only learn a limited range of Martial Arts. However, it learned quickly, possessed high comprehension, had extremely high Innate Attributes, and featured exclusive Bloodline and talent storylines. This made it a notch stronger than the Black Bear.

Although the Black Bear had lower aptitude, its Bloodline wasn’t particularly strong. However, having four limbs allowed it to learn a wider range of Martial Arts. The longer it lived, the stronger it became.

Wang Mu felt a touch of wistfulness at this thought.

In terms of Bloodline, Wang Mu even felt that the Big Eagle was not much inferior to the Immortal Cloud Kun...

This was evident from its ability to withstand the Immortal Cloud Kun’s pressure, even at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

Of course, if they truly fought, it would likely be over in one or two moves... After all, the difference in their Realms was significant.

Piao Miaoxu was smart.

She appeared to be alone, but that was merely an illusion.

A cautious villain like her would never give anyone an opportunity to take advantage.

"Is this the formidable enemy you mentioned?" Wang Mu asked the man in black, feigning a guess. "Such pressure... It’s at least above the Crossing Tribulation Realm, right?"

"Heh? Crossing Tribulation?" The man in black sneered. "This is an Ascension Level Spirit Beast!"

"What?" Wang Mu feigned shock. "Ascension? I’ve never heard of Ascension Level Spirit Beasts among Demon Beasts. Your formidable enemy is an Ascension Expert?"

"More than one..."

"No wonder, no wonder you sought the Third Princess..." Wang Mu said, looking as if he had just had an epiphany.

"Now you know, right?" the man in black said indifferently. "Could an enemy of a Saint be someone ordinary? You still have time to back out if you wish."

Wang Mu thought for a moment and said, "The Ancient Sage seems so composed; she must have a strategy."

After speaking, Wang Mu sat down cross-legged, also appearing calm and composed.

Piao Miaoxu laughed heartily a few times, seeming to appreciate him more and more.

For someone on the verge of death, his courage truly surpasses even Shuo Wuji’s, Piao Miaoxu mused.

The thought of Shuo Wuji being the first to flee from Piaomiao Palace still irked her.

It’s just that I really don’t have many usable people under my command, she lamented internally.

"That’s right, I do have a plan," Piao Miaoxu smiled confidently. "So what if he’s an Ascension Expert? He wouldn’t dare make a move. I’ll simply leave; what can he do to me?"

"Could it be because of the Three Saints from Beast King Mountain who appeared just now?" Wang Mu asked. "But these three, although they are among the ten great Demon Saints of the Demon Beast World, are only at the Tribulation Crossing Realm. Facing an Ascension Level and such a unique Spirit Beast, they couldn’t possibly be a match, right?"

"How could they possibly withstand it?"

"Could it be that, as fellow Spirit Beasts, they don’t wish to harm one another?"

A slight smile touched Piao Miaoxu’s lips. "Don’t worry, that’s something you don’t need to know. Just follow me and leave."

That bastard, how could he possibly let that Spirit Beast harm the pets that once fought alongside him? A flicker of resentment crossed Piao Miaoxu’s mind.

During the great war back then, these three pets caused me no small amount of trouble. That bastard isn’t just good at charming women; he’s also incredibly skilled at raising these beasts. Who knows how he taught these beasts Martial Arts back then, enabling them to cultivate to such profound Realms? So much so that after the great changes in the world, these three beasts all managed to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Realm... But now, it’s time for him to reap what he has sown.

Piao Miaoxu prided herself on understanding that bastard; she knew he wouldn’t truly deliver a killing blow.

"Alright, then I’m eager to see..." Wang Mu said, following the man in black. He then sent a message to the Moon God in his Sea of Consciousness.

[Wang Mu: Just a small intervention will do.]

[Moon God: ? Isn’t he the enemy? Aren’t we supposed to kill him? This is just a Tribulation Crossing Realm Spirit Beast; it can’t possibly stop this Little Kun.]

[Wang Mu: Do you still want to hear the rest of the story about the Imperial Princess and the Strategist?]

[Moon God: Fine, you’re the boss...]

The Moon God didn’t understand Wang Mu’s reasoning.

In any case, she didn’t involve herself in the struggles of the Mortal World; she just needed to follow Wang Mu’s instructions.

Besides, commanding this Little Kun felt strangely... familiar, as if stirring a distant memory.

"Look,"

As Piao Miaoxu flew into the void, she positioned herself behind the Super Sky Bear Saint, which had manifested its true form.

Piao Miaoxu appeared quite calm.

This Black Bear must be the Super Sky Bear Saint that the Jinmao Rat mentioned, Wang Mu observed.

Although its aptitude is far inferior to the Big Eagle’s, having lived for so long, the Black Bear has clearly made progress in its Cultivation. It has even cultivated to a point that I can barely comprehend... Its aptitude may be average, but it has great potential for growth... After the great changes in the world, the Black Bear must have benefited the most... Wang Mu sighed internally.

At this moment, the Black Bear was in its true form, unmistakably that of a Demon Beast. A colossal, shadowy manifestation surrounded it—its Primordial Spirit. It had also employed a special Heaven and Earth Transformation.

Those at the Tribulation Crossing Realm could already comprehend their own great Divine Skills and touch upon the rules of the Great Taoist Way.

Viewed from behind, it resembled a mountain thousands of feet tall; a single strand of its fur seemed capable of filling valleys and rivers.

Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts both possess greater physical strength than humans. Wang Mu couldn’t imagine what kind of Cultivation and experiences the Black Bear had undergone in the past thousand years, but its current strength was undoubtedly a testament to its diligent efforts.

In the game, the Black Bear was the diligent, hardworking type of pet. It likely hasn’t slacked off this past millennium either, Wang Mu mused.

As for the other one, it was even larger in stature and possessed a stronger aura than the Black Bear...

That must be the Spirit Monkey from among my pets.

However, Piao Miaoxu paid them little heed by now, giving them only a cursory glance before quickly departing with Wang Mu.

Clearly, with her cautious nature, she didn’t want to linger and risk any unforeseen complications.

Still, everything unfolded as she had anticipated.

Even with the help of an Ascension Realm Spirit Beast, he still wouldn’t deal a fatal blow to the Three Saints. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to leave just now, Piao Miaoxu reasoned.

You damned bastard, you do have weaknesses! Piao Miaoxu felt a wave of relief wash over her.

This was the first time she had gained the upper hand in an encounter with Dongfang Mu.

Previously, she had always been the one suppressed.

This time was different!

"Hahaha..."

This rare sense of triumph made her laugh out loud.

If there’s a first time, there will be a second! she exulted internally. Of course, those undigested, humiliating images in my mind are a constant reminder not to let my guard down against Dongfang Mu for even a second.

"Truly befitting a Saint... your methods are indeed wondrous..." Wang Mu said admiringly, following Piao Miaoxu. "At least, I can’t comprehend them."

Piao Miaoxu smiled faintly. If you could understand, you would have seen through my identity as well.

"About the plan you mentioned earlier..." Piao Miaoxu mused, "I find it very interesting. Confronting Ascension Level Spirit Beasts head-on isn’t an option. Even if I can escape safely each time, it’s merely exploiting a loophole."

That won’t work every time, she acknowledged to herself.

Look at Piao Miaoxu, ever the pragmatist! Wang Mu thought, noting her awareness that a direct confrontation wouldn’t work.

In fact, if Piao Miaoxu kept using this tactic of having the Three Saints protect her, Wang Mu truly would have no easy solution.

He would either have to lure the Three Saints away or force a breakthrough, which would inevitably result in severe injuries to the three pets.

When the Immortal Cloud Kun truly went on the offensive, its power was not to be trifled with.

"Are you saying... you want to secretly make peace with him?" Wang Mu asked, feigning ignorance.

"That’s right." Piao Miaoxu narrowed her eyes. "Ally with him secretly, then find an opportunity to backstab him. But such an opportunity will be hard to find. My great enemy isn’t that simple; if I propose an alliance, he’ll definitely be suspicious..."

"As for your idea of leveraging a third external power to create a crisis, thereby forcing us to ally... finding such a power won’t be easy..."

First, I’ll make peace with Dongfang Mu. Then, when he begins to trust me, I’ll backstab him. The mere thought of the look on that bastard’s face when I betray him fills me with satisfaction! Just imagining it is exhilarating! If I actually succeed, who knows how incredibly satisfying it will be?
