Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 519 - 176 I’ll Help You Cross Tribulation!_4

Since her Sword Heart contradicted her emotions, she chose to extract and seal them away... transforming them into... a Sword Spirit!

So this is how the Green Frost Sword’s Sword Spirit came into being? Wang Mu murmured softly.

Without emotions, her Sword Heart merged seamlessly with her being, naturally allowing her to comprehend the Sword Dao and thus step into Ascension.

After Ascension, the Nine Provinces seemed to become Heroine Yan’s personal stage.

’Eight Desolate Chaos,’ ’Immortal Transformation,’ ’Hidden Immortal Sealing God,’ ’Sword Slashes Demon Sect’—one event after another, the Green Frost Sword Light’s might shook the Nine Provinces.

At this time, a mere seven hundred years had passed, yet her name already reverberated across the Nine Provinces.

"With no man in her heart, her sword naturally became divine." This saying indeed proved true for both men and women.

Among the contemporary powerhouses, whether veterans or newcomers, none could withstand a single exchange with her. Only Mu Hongyuan, wielding the Shadow Hong Saber and Unrivaled Bell, could spar with her for a few rounds.

The various deeds of the following hundred years left Wang Mu deeply reflective.

It feels like I was holding her back... Wang Mu thought. If she had severed her emotions earlier, with Heroine Yan’s talent, she likely... would have reached the Ascension Peak in less than a hundred years.

The famous battle with Mu Hongyuan followed. He had already witnessed it at the Fengyue Sect, but that time, it was from Mu Hongyuan’s perspective. This time, he was seeing it from Heroine Yan’s.

It seems like she was holding back... Wang Mu thought to himself. No, it’s not right to say she was holding back. Back then, Mu Hongyuan had the Shadow Hong Saber in her hands, while Heroine Yan had already sealed away the Sky-cutting Sword. No wonder her Green Frost Sword shattered, whereas Mu Hongyuan’s Unrivaled Bell was merely damaged. In terms of repair difficulty, the Green Frost Sword was more challenging than the Unrivaled Bell.

The Green Frost Sword seals Heroine Yan’s Sword Spirit, and the Sword Spirit is the manifestation of her emotional soul... More precisely, the Sword Spirit was formed when she extracted a wisp of her own Divine Soul and sealed her emotions within it... Judging by the Little Sword Spirit’s previous naïve and bewildered state, as if she understood nothing, it was clear that the Green Frost Sword’s Little Sword Spirit was peculiar. Especially since she started clinging to him right after he revived her, saying she had been waiting for a long time—clearly, there were issues. A normal Artifact Spirit wouldn’t act this way. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

When the Green Frost Sword shattered, the Sword Spirit temporarily disappeared. This meant she lost a part of her soul, though it had little impact on her actual strength. But for the path of Ascension, for which the Great Dao must be complete, losing a part of her soul and seeking to achieve Ascension without having reached fulfillment should be impossible, right? Wang Mu pondered.

Time flowed, and Elder Yan began her secluded Cultivation, awaiting the descent of her first Heavenly Tribulation. She was missing a key Lifebound Magical Treasure.

Strange. At this point, having lost a part of her soul, there should be no need for her to enter seclusion to break through the Heavenly Tribulation... Why is that? Wait, could she be doing this deliberately? Wang Mu was taken aback.

Although she had lost a part of her soul, she was also free from the shackles of emotions. Her physical form was incomplete, yet her Taoist Heart was intact. Having cultivated to the Ascension Realm, she had already developed her own Sword Dao.

Sealing emotions inside the Green Frost Sword and merging it with her Lifebound Magical Treasure was a clever move. It strengthened its power and also allowed her to pass the Heavenly Tribulation of the Tribulation Crossing Realm. However, upon reaching the Ascension Realm, this might have become a burden and a hidden danger. With emotions still existing within the Lifebound Magical Treasure, every use would undoubtedly influence her. Over time, this would surely give rise to a Heart Demon...

She wanted to use this battle, to use Mu Hongyuan’s hand, to destroy the Green Frost Sword and truly sever that part of her emotions... thereby making her Taoist Heart whole! Wang Mu took a deep breath.

If she couldn’t do it herself, she had to rely on an enemy of the same realm. And among the people of that era, few possessed such strength. Coincidentally, Mu Hongyuan was her fated rival. Otherwise, the Heroine Yan of that time would never have sought out that battle with Mu Hongyuan.

Therefore, immediately after the sword’s destruction, she began attempting to advance her Cultivation to undergo tribulation and achieve Ascension... This also explained the strange behavior of entering secluded Cultivation to break through and face the tribulation after losing her Lifebound Magical Treasure... For a Cultivator, their Lifebound Magical Treasure is their greatest reliance when Crossing Heavenly Tribulation.

Then, the first Ascension Thunder Tribulation arrived.

The Ascension Thunder Tribulation is of three types. The first type is the All Heavens Divine Thunder; composed of Divine Thunder and Earth Fire from beyond the heavens, it is the most powerful, testing the depth of an Ascension Expert’s Cultivation and their foundation. The second type is the Nine Demonic Yang Thunder; it encompasses the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations, the Five Labors and Seven Injuries, testing the physical strength of Ascension Experts. The third type is the Nine Immortal Yin Thunder, which directly strikes the Primordial Spirit; it involves the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, testing the cultivator’s Primordial Spirit. Each type consists of nine-times-nine strikes, also called the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, and can last for several months.

Thus, he witnessed Heroine Yan’s first tribulation. Unfortunately for her, it was the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation that descended.

During the first wave, the All Heavens Divine Thunder, she barely managed to endure without her Lifebound Magical Treasure. The second wave tested physical strength; under the strikes of Divine Thunder, she remained largely intact. But it was during the third wave that she truly suffered. Eighty-one strikes of Nine Immortal Yin Thunder fell upon the soul-deficient Heroine Yan, directly injuring her Primordial Spirit and making it unbearable. Her Taoist Heart, previously fulfilled, now once again harbored a Heart Demon due to the destruction of the Green Frost Sword.

The Heart Demon grew, transforming into a Heavenly Demon that disturbed her Primordial Spirit. She fell from the Heavenly Vault, a mere speck of starlight, eventually landing in Yunlai Creek...

The Green Frost Sword is destroyed, the emotions are gone, your Taoist Heart is intact... Yet, because the Green Frost Sword was destroyed, a Heart Demon still emerged... Such is the law of cause and effect in this world; every action has its fated repercussion... There are hardly any shortcuts... Wang Mu sighed.
