Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 505 - 174 Elder Yan: Refining Sword at Dan King Sect_2

Chapter 505: Chapter 174 Elder Yan: Refining Sword at Dan King Sect_2

Brother Jiu departed on a crane, leaving behind a thoroughly bewildered Wang Mu.

Am I supposed to deliver it myself? How should I deliver it? By saying this is the Three-Life Fate, a wine brewed from the Long-term Love Fruit I made with Miss You under the Changqing Tree where we formed our bond? Then, ’Come, Elder Yan, please taste it and see how it is?’ The ensuing scene would be too horrendous to imagine. Wang Mu dared not think further.

Looking at the Green Frost Sword before him, Wang Mu knew he probably couldn’t leave so easily. This Divine Sword is clinging to me...

After Brother Jiu left, the Qingshuang Sword Spirit flew out. Like a tiny doll, it hovered beside Wang Mu, a pleased smile on its face.

"How’s your master?" Wang Mu asked.

"Seems like..." The Qingshuang Sword Spirit tilted its head. "Her mood... isn’t so good..."

"Hmm, seeing you, her mood should improve!"

"..."

The Green Frost Sword carried Wang Mu back to Heavenly Sword Peak. Along the way, they encountered many disciples from other sects, all of whom greeted him eagerly. It seemed his reputation within the Sword Sect had reached its zenith. His rapport with these disciples was excellent, akin to that between respectful brothers.

Stepping onto Heavenly Sword Peak once more, Wang Mu saw several Peak Leaders excitedly reporting to the white figure ahead.

"It’s about that Ascending Immortal Ancestor from the Dan King Sect..."

"You say, isn’t this good news?"

"..."

Even from the foot of the peak, he could overhear parts of their report.

Wang Mu’s vision darkened. Why report this news now? Who reports such a thing right when someone emerges from seclusion?

Ahead, Elder Yan’s figure, unseen for several years, was still like the Green Frost Long Sword—peerlessly sharp and cold. But now, the frosty aura emanating from her seemed even more intense, mirroring the cold light of the Heavenly Vault with chilling clarity.

Wang Mu wanted to leave, but the Green Frost Sword in his hand exerted a strong pull, tugging him upwards. He couldn’t get away. The sword had probably sensed someone’s arrival, as the Peak Leaders also turned to look their way in unison.

"The lad’s finally back!" Jian Wuqing laughed heartily. "And just in time, too!"

"..." Wang Mu.

What a ’perfect’ time! Wang Mu thought to himself, Why didn’t I stay in the Immortal Mansion to cultivate for another couple of years...

Cheng Tianyong said, "Lad, we saw your battle with that Innate God Spirit, the Longevity Ancient Pine, quite clearly from the outside... It’s been over a year now, and people in the outside world still talk about it often. You’ve certainly established the Sword Sect’s might."

"Although we don’t know what happened afterward, we figured you’d definitely come out one day."

Wang Mu was startled. They could see everything clearly from outside? Does the Immortal Mansion have such a function? Or was there another reason?

Speaking of which, it’s been a year since Piao Miaoxu possessed Gu Yuqing... Nothing much has happened in the Nine Provinces, which doesn’t feel right. Oh, come to think of it, *now* is probably the worst time.

"Come, come, come!" Lu Youlian said with a smile. "We were just talking about you..."

"You’re quite something, lad..." Wu Dayong, Peak Leader of Dan Sword Peak, stroked his beard as he spoke. "It was no fluke that the Dan King Sect took notice of you at the Alchemy Dao conference a few years ago. Did you perhaps get acquainted with that Ascending Immortal Ancestor back then?"

"..."

Master Wu, shut up! Don’t say another word!

At this moment, Elder Yan’s gaze fixed on Wang Mu. Her voice was as calm as a still lake as she said, "Just now, Little Lu reported some good news to me..."

"I didn’t expect you to already have a Taoist couple... and an Ascension Realm one at that."

"For our Sword Sect, a disciple having a Taoist couple..." As she said this, Elder Yan looked at Wang Mu. "Tell me, is this not good news?"

Everyone assumed Elder Yan was teasing Wang Mu. It was just that she rarely showed her emotions, so her expression remained unchanged.

"..." Wang Mu.

This question is really hard to answer.

"It’s good news, but it’s also bad news," Wang Mu said.

"..."

"Why do you say that?"

"It’s good news for the Sword Sect, but bad news for me," Wang Mu replied. "Being associated with the Dan King Sect is naturally good news. However, my strength is low, and the gap between myself and that Ascending Immortal Ancestor is too vast. The matter of us being Taoist couples is merely a joke she made to amuse herself with me."

"It shouldn’t be taken seriously."

The crowd chuckled. Such an excuse was just too flimsy.

Why would an Ascending Immortal Ancestor joke with a Golden Core Realm disciple? To claim there’s nothing between them, who would believe that? That Ancestor wouldn’t joke with others, but she chooses to joke with *him*, a Golden Core Realm disciple? There’s definitely something going on between them. And in all likelihood, their status as Taoist couples is real.

"Your words are reasonable," Elder Yan nodded.

"???" The Peak Leaders stared.

How can that be reasonable? We don’t believe such a flimsy excuse, so how could you, Elder?

The Peak Leaders were confused.

"You may all withdraw. I need to prepare for my Crossing Tribulation," Elder Yan said, glancing at them.

The Peak Leaders immediately nodded. Clearly, Elder Yan intended to speak with Wang Mu alone. This was understandable. Considering Wang Mu’s current status and position, and the fact that he had been personally recruited by Elder Yan—who was now about to undergo her tribulation—it was natural that she would have matters to discuss with him.

The Peak Leaders left.

Only two people and the Green Frost Long Sword remained on Heavenly Sword Peak.

Wang Mu took a deep breath, but the air felt as heavy as lead, impossible to draw in.

"Over these past few years, your cultivation has progressed very rapidly." Elder Yan’s eyes were calm, her emotions unreadable. Her level tone, however, seemed to carry a hint of praise.

"It’s... alright..." Wang Mu didn’t dare to be arrogant.

"Alright?" Elder Yan gazed into the distance and continued, "You have several peculiar Golden Cores coexisting in your body, yet your Taixiao Sword Mysterious Skill is still only at the ninth layer... With your aptitude, to be at the ninth layer of the Sword Heart Realm and still not have broken through to the Sword Core Realm..."
