Chapter 782 - 247: Piao Miaoxu: This person has great talent!_2
Having mastered this technique, one would become a Heavenly Demon.
And as a Heavenly Demon, one would inevitably be controlled by her, the King of Heavenly Demons.
The reason was simple: Heavenly Demons are immortal, constantly reincarnating, and the souls that reincarnate will revive.
In other words, as long as Gu Yuqing mastered this technique, her once capable general, the Forest Ghost, would awaken and regain control over Gu Yuqing, heeding her commands.
Even though she was surrounded by many powerful figures from the Cultivation World, Piao Miaoxu always trusted her own subordinates.
Gu Yuqing did not refuse. When Piao Miaoxu touched a speck of golden light to her brow, her Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly.
Perfect, the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill also seems to require the nurturing of Primordial Wood within the Sea of Consciousness...
Although this isn’t Primordial Wood, but some Life-killing Ancient Wood...
The Primordial Wood Longevity Skill is indeed a conventional example of the Mysterious Sect’s Techniques... but this Three Souls Gathering Essence Method is extraordinary... Cultivating it could potentially allow Piao Miaoxu to control me.
If I were to cultivate both techniques simultaneously...
Gu Yuqing’s heart stirred, and she dropped Essence Blood into the withered wood like a torrential downpour.
Before long, the dry wood swelled rapidly, bursting forth with a wondrous breath of life.
Then, as if the wood possessed a spirit, it flew automatically into Gu Yuqing’s body.
"Not bad..." Piao Miaoxu nodded slightly. "Worthy of the Cultivation World’s special Constitution. Fine, start operating the Three Souls Gathering Essence Method now!"
Gu Yuqing said little. While Piao Miaoxu watched, she did not first cultivate the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill, as it could easily be detected.
Instead, she first cultivated the Three Souls Gathering Essence Method.
Strangely, upon operating this technique, Gu Yuqing felt her soul shake violently, as if a strong force was directly pulling her soul into the ancient wood within her Sea of Consciousness.
A subtle consciousness slowly and gradually emerged from the withered wood.
This is... Gu Yuqing’s mind shook, and in her eyes, a shadow of the ancient wood slowly moved.
"It worked..." Seeing this, Piao Miaoxu smiled faintly. "Her talent is indeed high, and she is also compatible with the Life-killing Ancient Wood. In a while, the Forest Ghost should revive. When integrated with Gu Yuqing, and with her Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivation, she might even directly break through to the Tribulation Crossing Realm."
"Together with the powers of a Heavenly Demon, Ascension might not be difficult."
Of course, this would take some time.
Moreover, there was also a chance that Gu Yuqing could reverse control her.
But, once she practiced this technique, even if Gu Yuqing wanted to repent, it would be too late. The technique would cultivate itself, and the Forest Ghost could revive at any time.
She still had a new Heavenly Demon Spell. Gu Yuqing wouldn’t be able to resist her.
"You continue to cultivate here for a while. I will give further instructions when the time comes."
With a wave of her hand, Piao Miaoxu departed from the place.
After Piao Miaoxu left, Gu Yuqing, while suppressing the turmoil in her soul, covertly shifted to cultivating the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill.
For some reason, as soon as she started this technique, the Mixed Element Power she had cultivated through the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram began to surge.
Streams of life essence, flowing through the withered wood in her Sea of Consciousness, ran through her entire body.
Slowly, the discomfort brought about by the Three Elements Soul Gathering Technique began to lessen...
Her consciousness gradually cleared.
This technique... seems indeed useful.
Gu Yuqing’s eyes flickered faintly.
Although this technique lacked strong power and didn’t detail any significant Mysterious Sect’s Techniques or Magic Powers, it seemed to enable her... to resist Piao Miaoxu’s control.
「 」
After leaving the ancient land, Piao Miaoxu headed towards Qianzhou, with Wang Mu following and simultaneously communicating with the Moon God within his Sea of Consciousness.
[Moon God: What should we do next? I find it quite interesting...]
[Wang Mu: Continue to maintain my identity.]
[Moon God: You rascal, trying to use this Immortal, right? Speak, what do you wish to do?]
[Wang Mu: Simple. Of you immortals who secretly descended from the Upper Realm, there’s one left, an Immortal official named Qian Mo.]
[Moon God: Qian Mo? Isn’t that the Immortal official from Flame Virtue Star Palace? He governs Karmic Fire in the Lower Realm and is very strong! How could he have secretly descended to the Lower Realm?]
Hearing of his strength, Wang Mu was not surprised.
This Immortal official was probably the most formidable among the three who secretly descended.
[Moon God: An Immortal official of this caliber, even when suppressed by the laws of this realm, is likely too strong for anyone in your Lower Realm to handle. Even those at Ascension Peak wouldn’t stand a chance. It would require a Divine General from the Upper Realm to deal with him, and even then, it wouldn’t be easy for a Divine General to act. This is quite troublesome indeed, but it’s none of my concern.]
[Wang Mu: I promised Mr. Lee. I have two Magic Treasures that could deal with him, but we need to find him first. Do you have a way to locate him?]
[Moon God: Yes. As long as he is in this realm, he will have a destiny that can be divined. It’s just that using my Magic Treasure for divination will take some time.]
[Wang Mu: As soon as possible.]
[Moon God: Found him. Even with two Upper Realm Magic Treasures, it might not be enough to deal with him. I warned you earlier; this could even incite turmoil in your Lower Realm. This Immortal official is truly strong.]
I, of course, know how strong he is, Wang Mu thought.
Mr. Lee said this Immortal official oversees Karmic Fire, capable of incinerating all sins.
Who in the Cultivation World doesn’t carry a bit of Karma on them?
It’s practically a dimension-reducing strike.
Wang Mu also didn’t want Bi You and the others to confront him.
After all, the Karma on them was not light, and facing him might not end well. If there were any mishaps, it would be a loss not worth the risk.
He himself couldn’t handle it. It seemed there was no way out. But... wasn’t there still Piao Miaoxu? This was indeed a formidable enemy!
[Wang Mu: Let’s find him first and then decide.]
[Moon God: Okay then, just don’t forget what you promised me. Otherwise, be careful I might use this status to do some naughty things.]
[Wang Mu: ?]
The Moon God turned off the Divine Light Mirror.
At this moment, Piao Miaoxu suddenly spoke, "Qin Mu, how do you think I should use this person?"
"Who?" Wang Mu asked.
"The woman from the ancient land just now, the close confidante of my great enemy."
Wang Mu pondered for a moment. "Without being sure if she truly obeys the Ancient Sage, it’s hard to say. Who knows if she might stab you in the back?"
"Don’t worry, she will absolutely, one hundred percent, listen to me," Piao Miaoxu said confidently.
Wang Mu glanced at her.
"If that’s the case, there is indeed a good method."
"Tell me."
"Ancient Sage, you can send her to your great enemy’s side," Wang Mu said. "Acting as an undercover agent, you could then always know your great enemy’s whereabouts and stay informed of his movements at all times."
"The premise is, she must truly obey you."
"What do you think, Ancient Sage?"
Upon hearing this, Piao Miaoxu’s eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands in praise. "Good idea!"
This person is indeed a bit different!
This method was one she hadn’t thought of.
The situation was different from before.
Before, Wang Mu was in the light, and she was in the dark.
But now, she was in the light, and Wang Mu was in the dark.
Being able to always understand Wang Mu’s movements was crucial. It meant that situations like the one at the Changqing Tree, where she suddenly encountered Wang Mu and he launched a surprise attack, would not happen again!
Spirit beasts of the Ascension Realm were defenses she currently couldn’t break through.
Moreover, Ascension Realm powerhouses were existences that could be lethal at any moment.
So, keeping track of Wang Mu’s movements all the time was extremely important!
Piao Miaoxu had initially thought to mimic Ao Qing, but that method might not work on Mu Hongyuan because she understood Mu Hongyuan’s personality well.
She wouldn’t necessarily develop a Heart Demon just because her disciple got together with her lover. On the contrary, she might even try to control her disciple...
If Gu Yuqing were sent to be undercover at Wang Mu’s side, that would be perfect.
Moreover, Wang Mu would never know that Gu Yuqing was already under her control.
The feelings Gu Yuqing had for her Master outweighed those for Wang Mu. If she were sent to her Master’s side, she would rather self-destruct than go.
However, Wang Mu was not only her beloved but also her Master’s darling. She would definitely go, even if it meant secretly helping Wang Mu!
Of course, everything would still be under her control!
Piao Miaoxu took a long breath. This move was masterfully played!
She looked at Wang Mu with utmost admiration.
This man is truly talented!
This was much more impressive than her original plan!
