Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 500 - 173: Elder Yan, Wang Mu has a Taoist couple now!_3
"..." Wang Mu.
How much respect must you have for your master? I literally just split you in two, and you didn’t utter a single word of surrender. Now I just move my lips, and you act like a groveling dog?
Wang Mu was speechless.
The Ice Blue Ancient Tree had truly struck to kill just now, not holding back in the slightest, clearly aiming to take his life.
Extreme.
"I’m curious, why did you want to kill me?" Wang Mu asked. "Can you answer that for me?"
"Sorry, I cannot," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said.
Wang Mu fell silent for a moment. "Let me guess," he then said. "Is it because of your master?"
The Ice Blue Ancient Tree said nothing.
"Your master doesn’t have a seventh life yet. Is it because they were harmed or violated some rule?" Wang Mu continued. "And my appearance—did it come about because your master sacrificed something?"
"So, you resent me? You want to slaughter me?"
"And you believe that by slaughtering me, perhaps your master could be reincarnated once more?"
The Ice Blue Ancient Tree remained silent.
"I didn’t say that. You might be a Heavenly Destiny Person, but you shouldn’t slander a Primordial Spirit without cause," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said, swaying its branches.
Wang Mu shook his head.
He could only think of this one possibility to explain why the typically forthright Ice Blue Ancient Tree had acted as it did.
Otherwise, it made no sense.
Furthermore, it could also explain why An Qixiu did not have a seventh life, and the appearance of Little Jiao Huo.
As for the relationship between Little Jiao Huo and An Qixiu, Wang Mu felt it was likely a special kind of subordinate relationship.
They were connected, but the link wasn’t strong.
The reason was simple: An Qixiu’s third life, it seemed, had been an Ancient Merfolk.
"Can you let me out first?" Wang Mu asked.
"No," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree replied. "I must obey my master’s command."
"What command?"
"To assist your Cultivation."
Wang Mu was taken aback.
"My master ordered that if you managed to reach this place, I must assist your Cultivation," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree stated.
Wang Mu glanced at the being.
This Ice Blue Ancient Tree now seemed completely different from the one moments ago.
"How can you help me cultivate?" Wang Mu shook his head.
"I observe that your body contains a vast, infinite power," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said, "yet it is also very empty, somewhat lacking in life force. Your battles are brief and weak, unable to be sustained."
Nonsense! What ’brief and weak’?! If you were constantly unleashing ultimate moves, how long could you last?
A vein throbbed on Wang Mu’s forehead.
"Additionally, your Sword Intent is intermingled with many Emotional Threads," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree continued. "All of this perfectly aligns with my master’s predictions."
Wang Mu had no response.
"Your master certainly knows a lot," Wang Mu remarked.
"Hmph, of course!" the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said proudly. "My master predicted long ago that if you could reach this place, it means you must have found your previous confidantes. However, you have merely found them and not completely resolved their problems."
"Can we not change the subject?" Wang Mu asked.
"I am not changing the subject; I am discussing your problems," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree retorted. "The more Emotional Threads, the deeper the entanglements. Moreover, those entangled with you are all top powerhouses of this world. With your frail body, attempting to solve their problems will ultimately exhaust only your essence."
"Essence?"
"You can understand it as the time you can survive in this world, or, in other words, your Life Span."
"As a Heavenly Destiny Person, your Life Span contains immense karma. When your time is up, it will inevitably disappear. If you cannot achieve Ascension, your final outcome will be the same as before."
The Ice Blue Ancient Tree finished speaking.
Wang Mu was stunned.
Speaking of which, he felt it was all very subtle.
Previously, he had been able to break Miss You’s curse—well, intimate contact was all it took.
And while cultivating the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram, intimate contact had allowed him to remove Mo Xilan’s Primordial Spirit Chains.
These special curses and chains were more like a formidable power of the Heavenly Dao, a form of Karma that ordinary methods could not undo. Yet, he had been able to undo them.
Essentially, it was very metaphysical.
Even Miss You and the others weren’t clear about it themselves.
So it was Life Span...
Wang Mu pondered thoughtfully.
But I don’t seem to feel anything...
"So?" Wang Mu asked.
"This shows that your ’brief and weak’ combat performance, and being affected by these issues, all have their reasons."
The Ice Blue Ancient Tree said, "My master, knowing everything, had me wait here to impart to you a Cultivation Technique, the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill. This will enhance your Life Span, enabling you to live longer."
With that said, the Ice Blue Ancient Tree brought its trunk together, and a branch touched Wang Mu’s forehead.
A Wonderful Method then appeared directly in Wang Mu’s mind.
Primordial Wood Longevity Skill.
It was a very special wood-element Cultivation Technique.
Primordial Wood is a Divine Artifact that emerged after anomalies in heaven and earth. It was imbued with a wisp of the Heaven and Earth Essence from the dawn of the cosmos.
By incorporating this item into oneself, cultivating alongside the great paths of heaven and earth, jointly nurturing the Heaven and Earth Essence, and refining its inner core until Fulfilled, one can achieve the Primordial Wood Immortal Body. This grants a Life Span of one hundred million years, rendering one undying and imperishable.
It was indeed an extremely profound Cultivation Method.
However, Heaven and Earth Yuan Wood was an exceptionally rare item in the world; Wang Mu had never even heard of it.
[Cultivation: Primordial Wood Longevity Skill (x)]
Normally, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate it.
"This method... I personally cannot cultivate it," Wang Mu mused.
"Obviously! Of course, I need to assist you in your Cultivation," the Ice Blue Ancient Tree said. "This is a Great Taoist Divine Skill my master created for me. How could a mere human like you possibly cultivate it?"
"You are not a Primordial Spirit like me. Thinking of cultivating this Skill is pure fantasy."
Wang Mu was speechless.
Just then, from the center of the Ice Blue Ancient Tree, an arm’s-length section of ice-blue trunk flew out.
