Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 542 - 182 Sister-in-law_2

"To cope with this, the King decided to form an alliance through marriage with Tianlin Continent, with the Evil Luan lineage... By uniting with them, we could secretly control the intelligence from the many Demon Sects in Tianlin Continent... However, the princess of the Evil Luan lineage said that if the King wants to marry her, he must present a segment of the Divine Mysterious Immortal Root from the Moon Palace of Li State."

"So, my trip is not only to pick those fruits but also to figure out a way to obtain a Divine Mysterious Immortal Root."

This is quite interesting, Wang Mu thought.

The King of Beast King Mountain, Xiong Ba... that must be the black bear from back then...

An alliance through marriage...

"Has your King, after all these years, never had a partner?" Wang Mu asked.

"No time to find one," the Jinmao Rat said. "He has been waging wars in all directions. The internal strife within the Demon Clan is severe. His kingdom and responsibilities are significant, but there are few of his own kind who can match him."

"Those of different races can't bear offspring with him. So, out of consideration for his lineage, although the King has experienced some romantic involvements, he has never formed an alliance through marriage."

Speaking of the Demon Clan of the Nine Provinces, Wang Mu didn't know much. He had only seen some in Ling Province, and very few elsewhere.

"You know so much about Li State. When will this Moon Palace appear?" Wang Mu asked.

"Soon, in the next few months," the Jinmao Rat calculated, pinching its fingers. "The Moon Palace is a Cave Heaven Blessed Land of Li State; it appears once every few decades or centuries. Yun Mengqing seeking this Auspicious Cloud Mallet must also be to go to the Moon Palace to pick the Pan Yang Peach and the Yin Yuan Fruit for her cultivation."

"When the Moon Palace descends, the spiritual energy of Li State will change, the sun and moon will lose their light, and this will last for several days."

"During these days, the various dynasties of Li State will cease hostilities and send their top Nascent Soul cultivators and Divinity Transformation cultivators to the Moon Palace. Many ancestors from cultivation families will also emerge from seclusion to go to the Moon Palace."

"However, there are fairies guarding the Moon Palace. It's quite difficult for cultivators from the Mortal World to ascend there, isn't it?"

"How difficult is it?" Wang Mu asked.

The Jinmao Rat pondered for a while before saying, "According to the legacy of our ancestors, the basic requirement is that one must have Li State bloodline."

"Li State bloodline?" Wang Mu was taken aback.

"That's right."

"Doesn't that mean cultivators from the Outer Continents can't get in?" Wang Mu said, exasperated. "You coming to Li State..."

Wang Mu was rendered speechless. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"I am a member of the Demon Clan from Li State; we have been here since ancient times..." the Jinmao Rat touched its head. "It's just that later on, I fell on hard times and ended up in Huangtian Continent, where I settled down..."

Wang Mu remained silent.

"This condition is quite peculiar..." Wang Mu muttered.

"There are other ways," the Jinmao Rat said. "You can find a member of a native imperial family of Li State to marry and form a good union, essentially marrying into Li State. Then you will possess the Li State imperial bloodline."

"The imperial families of Li State, meaning those from the dynasties of Li State, have a special bloodline. They follow the Immortal Path tied to national destiny, often with the entire country engaging in cultivation. They gather a large number of mortals for their faith and possess extraordinary powers..."

The Li State Imperial Family... Wang Mu pondered, finding the powers of Li State rather fascinating.

Li State seems to be quite special.

Li State is said to be the weakest province because its powers are too fragmented and it suffers from severe internal strife. The great dynasties have been fighting for hundreds of years, with dynastic changes occurring so regularly it seems there's no end in sight.

There would be peace occasionally, but as soon as there was a sign of trouble, war would break out again.

In these struggles, Li State has actually produced many powerful cultivators.

However, these cultivators often didn't get very far before being consumed by the karma they had accumulated. Consequently, their Immortal Path would become veiled by a deceptive radiance.

Even for the cultivators from the Li State Imperial Families, it was the same.

"Big Brother, I am qualified to go to the Moon Palace..." the Jinmao Rat said thoughtfully. "You are my Big Brother, and if you wish to go there, naturally I have to help. According to news from my relatives, General Yu Lin of the Li State Haotian Dynasty has been recruiting cultivators from Outer Continents recently..."

"It must be for the Moon Palace. With your strength, Big Brother, if you go there and act as a Guest under some disguise, you should be able to reach the Moon Palace smoothly."

"Besides, Bishui Grotto Heaven in northern Li State, the Sky Dragon Palace Family, Tianlu Temple to the south, Yantian Plain to the northwest, and the Liyue Dynasty to the east..."

"These places are all recruiting cultivators from Outer Continents..."

Wang Mu was deep in thought.

This little rat's strength might be average, but its experience is indeed far superior to mine.

Its life as a rat must have been quite exciting...

While the little rat was speaking, it winked at Wang Mu. "Big Brother, if you want to go to the Moon Palace, the best way is to simply reveal your identity as the top ranker on the Heavenly Pride Rank."

"What's most important is having a Taoist couple at the Ascension Realm."

"All the major powers in Li State would give you face. If you want to serve as a Guest anywhere, it would be effortless. Going to the Moon Palace would be a piece of cake."

Wang Mu remained silent.

"Then let's go take a look at Tianlu Temple..."

"Sure! Tianlu Temple... that place has so many delicious things..." the Jinmao Rat recalled with a smile. "Every time I return to Tianlu Temple, I bring back some tasty treats. The Tianxiang Daosui from Tianlu Temple is incredibly delicious..."

The Jinmao Rat unfurled a large map of Li State and pointed to a spot on it. "This place isn't very far. Tianlu Temple is a major agricultural sect in Li State, and none of the three great dynasties would dare to provoke them."

"It's a neutral sect."

Speaking of Tianlu Temple, it was clear the Jinmao Rat's eyes lit up.

Wang Mu glanced at it. You say you 'bring back tasty treats'? You're probably stealing them, aren't you?

Wang Mu glanced at the map, then rose into the air using his sword control skill and headed straight for Tianlu Temple.

His main reason for going to Tianlu Temple was that the Emperor Earth Secret of the Temple was the cultivation technique Heroine Yan had specifically mentioned could condense an Earth Element Golden Core.

Tianlu Temple was located in the Desert Sea Plain near the Great Wilderness of Li State.

"Speaking of Tianlu Temple, it is also one of the great oddities of Li State," the Jinmao Rat said with a touch of emotion. "My ancestors once received favors from Tianlu Temple…"

"Oh?"

"That was seven or eight hundred years ago. Back then, Tianlu Temple was just a small, dilapidated sect. The Desert Sea Plain was the most barren land in Li State... The spiritual energy there was extremely scarce; it was a place even the Demon Clan wouldn't want to visit," the Jinmao Rat said. "Later, Tianlu Temple produced a capable individual who, over hundreds of years, slowly transformed the Desert Sea Plain into boundless spirit fields. At that time, Li State had suffered countless years of drought, with demons creating chaos and drought fiends wreaking havoc. If it weren't for Tianlu Temple, I'm afraid Li State wouldn't be as it is today…"

Wang Mu was thoughtful.

A sect focused mainly on farming...

"What happened to this great person later on?"

"After saving the world, he passed away due to his average aptitude for the Immortal Path," the Jinmao Rat said regretfully. "But if you mention his great name, everyone in Li State knows it, and every demon is aware of him."

"He's known as the 'Living Immortal of Li State,' Tianlu Xiao Yu."

Wang Mu nodded, then suddenly remembered something.

Xiao Yu? Wang Mu was startled.

"Yes, those of you from the Outer Continents might not know much about him..."

The continents are extremely far apart, and a long time has passed, so it's quite normal for modern cultivators to be unaware of this. However, I know this name very well.

Of course, not the heroine from the game, but a male supporting character.

In the game, he was the protagonist's Senior Martial Brother from the Leisure Cloud Valley sect, Langtao Fist Xiao Yu.

In the original story, his aptitude was actually quite high, but he enjoyed farming and cooking...

He could join the protagonist's team as an ally. His potential, both its upper and lower limits, was very high, and his identity was extremely mysterious...

I have a vivid memory of this Senior Martial Brother from Leisure Cloud Valley.

His character was perfect—refined and humorous. Although he loved farming, his speech and temperament were far beyond what an ordinary person could possess.

He had an air... an air of nobility, like that of imperial lineage.

It wasn't perceptible in the early stages.

Only in the later stages, when his identity was revealed, did it all become clear.

Could it be... that this 'Living Immortal of Li State,' Xiao Yu from all those years ago... was really that Senior Martial Brother? Wang Mu pondered.

My impression of him was profound, not just because of his early connection to Dongfang Mu's character events in the game, but more importantly, because he was a hidden condition for pursuing another heroine.

In terms of relationship, would he be considered the protagonist's... brother-in-law?

I actually enjoy farming, especially in the game. If I wanted to play a farming-focused style, I had to build a good relationship with Xiao Yu.

That was how I could learn farming skills from him.

Hearing the familiar name, Wang Mu's curiosity about Tianlu Temple deepened...
