Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 532 - 179: Elder Yan, Deceiving Himself _3
"You see, this fish needs the stimulation of another fish to take the bait," Wang Mu said. "Only then will it gently take the hook..."
Heroine Yan’s eyebrows knit slightly. She felt Wang Mu’s fishing method was quite unorthodox.
"Fishing like this..." Heroine Yan said, shaking her head. "It’s not good."
Clearly, Heroine Yan, who always followed the rules and possessed a high level of fishing skill, didn’t quite approve of this unconventional method.
Wang Mu smiled without a word and pulled up the Ancient Mud Fish.
A surge of Spiritual Energy rushed towards him.
The fish emitted a heavy, condensed aura, giving it an earth-like sense of gravity.
It was like a mother fish living within the earth, radiating the breath of life. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Perhaps due to its Spiritual nature, the fish’s eyes glared at Wang Mu. It seemed extremely unwilling and angry to have been caught by such means.
When the fish solidified, it took on a yellow hue, unmoving as a mountain.
When it softened, it became like a puddle of mud, soft and orange-brown.
Eating it could extend one’s life, replenish vital energy, and nourish the essence. It possessed the elementary power of earth while in the water. This fish was a Taoist Spirit Fish that surpassed Top-grade Fish Species, a creature rare in this world.
"Not bad," Wang Mu nodded.
"Good or not, as long as you catch the fish, that’s what matters," Wang Mu said. "Whether you get the fish or lose it is all a matter of personal choice."
Heroine Yan turned away, not speaking.
I’ll have her speaking obediently soon enough, Wang Mu thought.
Wang Mu decided to keep the fish and said, "The way of fishing can indeed improve one’s Divine Sense and Heart Realm, but it’s a pity that not many in the Sword Sect favor this path."
"Perhaps only Elder Yan in the Sword Sect enjoys this path, right?"
Heroine Yan did not respond.
Wang Mu stored away the fish, walked up to her, and said, "Green Frost Sword, are you there? I’ve missed you!"
An instant later, Heroine Yan’s body trembled slightly. A sword light flew out from her brow involuntarily, hovering in midair.
It was deep blue and clear, though somewhat dim.
"WHINE..." The Green Frost Sword flew to Wang Mu’s side and nuzzled him. Then, a Little Sword Spirit flew out from it.
Confused, it clung to Wang Mu like a little whirlwind. It was weightless, for the Sword Spirit was a Virtual Body. This was quite amusing.
"Come back!" Heroine Yan commanded in a low voice when she saw this.
However, Wang Mu had already grabbed the Green Frost Sword.
"I’ve missed you too..." the Little Sword Spirit said, hugging Wang Mu and nestling in his arms.
The Sword Spirit looked very petite, about half the height of a person, perhaps even less.
Clinging to Wang Mu’s chest, it resembled a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child acting spoiled with an elder.
Its face, as young and innocent as Heroine Yan’s, was full of infatuation.
"How have you been lately?" Wang Mu asked, touching it but only feeling a breeze.
"Not good... not good..." the Little Sword Spirit said, looking aggrieved. It seemed to be brimming with grievances as it poured out complaints to Wang Mu.
"What’s the matter? Why not good?"
"My home is gone."
"Your home is gone?"
"Yes, yes, my home is ruined! My master wants to help me build a new one... but it’s all a mess... I’m not happy at all..." the Little Sword Spirit said plaintively.
Wang Mu was taken aback.
Home?
"How was your home lost?" Wang Mu inquired.
Heroine Yan turned around and gave Wang Mu a cool stare.
The Little Sword Spirit, sensing something was amiss, cleverly clung to Wang Mu’s back, wrapping its arms around his neck and refusing to let go.
"Don’t worry, I’m here," Wang Mu said. "Speak boldly."
"MM-HMM..." The Little Sword Spirit nodded obediently and slowly began, "That day, I was at home, and all was well. Suddenly, I felt a very strong pressure... it was going to destroy my home! After resisting for a while, my master seemed to be struggling... and then you arrived..."
"The tranquility of my home was shattered..." the Little Sword Spirit blurted out. "I wanted to go out, but Master wouldn’t let me... Then the pressure went away, and an even stronger energy tried to surge into my home, but Master refused! Then Master even broke my home to fight that energy..."
"Master said she would help me rebuild it later..."
"SOB... I’m homeless now..."
Wang Mu was speechless.
The Little Sword Spirit was too naive, its words very vague. It probably didn’t understand things like the Heavenly Tribulation. Being just a Residual Soul of Heroine Yan, it lacked deep awareness. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that it could become such a pure Sword Spirit.
Home... That must refer to something like Heroine Yan’s Primordial Spirit cultivation, right? Listening to this... could it be that Heroine Yan really hadn’t Ascended? An even stronger energy... could that be the Immortal Energy from after passing the Heavenly Tribulation? She refused it... And broke her ’home’...
Wang Mu pondered.
It seemed Heroine Yan had passed the Heavenly Tribulation. However, she apparently hadn’t chosen to Ascend and leave. Instead, she stayed, even rejecting Ascension. And furthermore, did she consume her own Primordial Spirit to resist? This was indeed strange... Even if one passed the tribulation without Ascending, was it necessary to go this far? Could it be that the Heavenly Dao Rules decree one must leave upon Ascension? If so, Heroine Yan had defied the Heavenly Dao Rules with her own cultivation to stay in the Lower Realm. Consequently, she must have damaged both her Primordial Spirit and physical body... Just to practice swords with me?
Wang Mu was taken aback.
That shouldn’t be right, should it? After Emotion Cutting and seeking the Dao, shouldn’t things be different for her?
Wang Mu struggled to understand.
Perhaps this related to the Great Taoist Heroine Yan had comprehended.
She had mentioned before that she had comprehended a new Great Taoist...
I wonder what Great Taoist it was? And why did she need to stay in this world?
"And then what happened?" Wang Mu inquired.
The Little Sword Spirit was about to answer.
"Come back!" Heroine Yan called out again, her voice soft.
