Heroine Yan gave her a cold glance without saying a word.

"He absorbed too much of my Emotion Poison..." Mu Hongyuan murmured softly. "With his Realm, he simply can't bear it... We must quickly find him, otherwise..."

Thinking of this, although she indeed wanted to confine that wicked thing and give it a good beating as a lesson...

But thinking about how that wicked being absorbed all the Emotion Poison to help her during this opportunity... her heart couldn't help but feel indescribably sweet.

No matter what Realm he was in, he always seemed to be able to find a way to help her, just as he had in the past.

He truly was risking his life.

"I can't sense him." Heroine Yan stepped out of the wooden house. "Your Emotion Poison is too strong; it has confused his Primordial Spirit. Magic Treasures are connected to the Primordial Spirit, so I can't sense him."

Mu Hongyuan was taken aback.

"You take care of yourself," Heroine Yan said coldly and then transformed into a sword light, flying away.

Mu Hongyuan's eyebrows furrowed. Thoughtfully, she also turned into a red light, flying towards another direction into the sky.

「 」

No, the Emotion Poison is too strong... I need to find a place to restrain myself... so that I can cultivate the Wuji Treasure Book...

Otherwise, without cultivating the Infinite Demon Body, I fear I'll be directly overwhelmed by the Emotion Poison...

Wang Mu headed quickly towards Ling Province.

Each place he passed, the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was instantly devoured.

The operation of the Wuji Treasure Book was overly domineering.

Luckily, most of it now absorbed the Emotion Poison, processed within the Spiritual Acupoint, and was not aggressively plundering from the outside world.

Head to Sealing God Mountain...

The Sea Prison in Sealing God Mountain, lock myself up for a while... That place is conveniently Bi You's territory...

Moreover, that stowaway Immortal Beast, the Immortal Cloud Kun, is also in the Ling Province region...

Wang Mu suppressed the Emotion Poison within his body while flying rapidly toward Ling Province.

As for Mu Hongyuan and Heroine Yan... COUGH, COUGH... they're probably still furious. Returning now would certainly not end well for me.

It's a pity I didn't use a Water Shadow Talisman to leave a memento when I left... Wang Mu thought.

He shook his head, trying to dispel the distracting thoughts. But because the Emotion Poison was too strong, even the Green Blood Sword under his feet was continuously humming, affecting the Magic Treasure.

Every moment, I feel like I can barely restrain myself.

Demoness Mu cultivated for a thousand years; this Emotion Poison must be from at least a few hundred of those... And this one day feels like torture...

Wang Mu sighed. Recalling the Cultivation experiences of Demoness Mu he had witnessed, they were far from simple. The difficulties involved were not evident merely from observation.

It's like when they observed my Illusion Realm. What they saw were merely my experiences in the game from those days; only I truly understood my own feelings...

Their Cultivation is the same. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

No matter how those thousand years passed, no matter how difficult, only they themselves know.

Just this Emotion Poison alone feels unbearable to me.

And I haven't even absorbed all of it...

By absorbing this much, Demoness Mu should feel much better...

On the way, Wang Mu didn't dare to look at any female Exotic Beast for more than a moment. He feared that just one extra glance would cause the Emotion Poison within him to erupt like a volcano.

「A few days later.」

Wang Mu reached the territory of Ling Province and headed nonstop towards Bibo Sea.

Upon entering Bibo Sea, Fierce Beasts became more plentiful. With Wang Mu's current Realm, coupled with his Cultivation of the Demon Way Technique, his aura was overwhelmingly demonic. Many sea Fierce Beasts fled after just one glance from afar, daring not to approach. Very few Divinity Transformation Level Fierce Beasts would emerge. This was primarily because Wang Mu's aura was too strong; even those at the Divinity Transformation Realm had to weigh their options.

With the boost from the Emotion Poison, the Cultivation of the Wuji Treasure Book was incredibly fast. Also, his Spiritual Acupoint, having already formed an Infinite Spirit Vortex, could convert any energy into Spiritual Energy, including the Emotion Poison. Therefore, as long as he found a place to suppress himself, he could quickly absorb it. He could even potentially cultivate the Infinite Demon Body directly using the power of the Emotion Poison.

This kind of Cultivation caused Wang Mu to emit a strangely demonic aura. His eyes were red from the Emotion Poison, making him appear as though he was about to devour someone. Cultivating the Infinite Demon Body meant seizing all things to transform them into Spiritual Energy. This Cultivation philosophy caused Cultivators to inevitably be influenced once they began cultivating, thereby altering their own aura... Only when the Infinite Demon Body was cultivated could they control it freely.

It's been a long while...

I wonder how Bi You is doing...

Wang Mu took a deep breath. Within half a day, he arrived at the territory of Sealing God Mountain.

「The moment he stepped into Sealing God Mountain.」

"Who goes there... HUH? It's you?"

The guardian Strange Beast that had just flown down was immediately shocked.

"Is Ao Qing here?" Wang Mu asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! What brings you here?"

"I need to stay in the Sea Prison for a while," Wang Mu said. "Go tell Ao Qing."

"To the Sea Prison?" The Strange Beast blinked. "Last time, wasn't it enough for you?"

However, it didn't dwell on it and immediately flew up.

「A moment later.」

An ice-blue Little White Dragon flew down. Landing in front of Wang Mu, she was about to transform into a semi-human form.

"Wait!"

Wang Mu immediately stopped her. "Don't transform into a semi-human form. Just take me to the Sea Prison directly."

Ao Qing was confused.

Ao Qing was startled.

This guy...

What does he mean?

What's wrong with me transforming into a semi-human form?

Ao Qing hovered in midair, her dragon body uncertain whether to move or stay still.

After the last incident, peace had returned to the Dongling Sea. She had returned to Sealing God Mountain to continue her Cultivation, but occasionally she still recalled those past scenes...

Although after returning, Father told me to practice the Transformation Technique more... After all, he's human.

But Ao Qing hadn't paid it much mind.

So what if I'm a dragon?

My Dragon Clan body is countless times more beautiful than a Human Clan body!

Although she thought this way, after returning to Sealing God Mountain, she still found herself unconsciously practicing the Dragon Clan's Transformation Technique a bit more...

Now she had become quite proficient and could even hide her dragon tail.

From the outside, except for her Dragon's Horns, she looked unquestionably human—a significant improvement.

Although... she didn't know who she was transforming for. Looking at her reflection in the seawater, Ao Qing thought she looked quite good... Transforming for herself wasn't too bad either.

Unexpectedly, she had just heard the news of Wang Mu's arrival...

She flew down, about to transform and reveal her true human form, but unexpectedly... he stopped me?

Thinking of the Great Immortal...

Ao Qing's Dragon's Scales shivered slightly, gently flexing, as she thought:

This person... could he possibly have some special preference?

The Great Immortal's original form, it seems, is...

"Hurry! Take me to the Sea Prison and use the Primordial Mystic Divine Lock to bind me!" Wang Mu, however, wasn't thinking that deeply.

He had been enduring it all the way here. He hadn't dared to glance at female Exotic Beasts, let alone Female Cultivators. If Ao Qing were to transform into human form, Wang Mu didn't know if it would trigger the Emotion Poison he had been forcefully suppressing for days.

"You... you haven't done anything wrong..." Ao Qing was silent for a moment before asking, "Why go to the Sea Prison?"

"Just consider it part of my Cultivation," Wang Mu said.

"If the Great Immortal finds out that I locked you in the Sea Prison on my own authority..."

"Don't worry. I'll just say it was my choice. Enough talk, hurry up!" Wang Mu spoke in a low growl, his eyes conveying a menacing intent, and he exuded an intimidating aura. Especially those blood-red eyes, which made Ao Qing's dragon body tremble.

"Why... why are you being so fierce?" Ao Qing stammered, then spat out a beam of white light that enveloped Wang Mu. "I'll take you there then..."

His demeanor has changed so drastically...

Ao Qing felt slightly uneasy.

Especially those eyes...

It felt as if he wanted to devour me...

It made her Dragon's Scales tremble uncontrollably... even her Dragon's Horns were turning a little red...

「At the base of the mountain.」

「Inside the Sea Prison.」

The Sea Prison was sunless, only dim, watery light filtered down from above. It exuded an oppressive, disempowering atmosphere. And it seemed to have been reinforced.

The moment Wang Mu descended, he felt a crushing pressure far greater than what he had experienced before.

"PHEW..."

Wang Mu's heart eased, and a relaxed expression appeared on his face.

When they reached the stone pillar, Ao Qing exhaled an ice-blue Bead. Wang Mu was pinned against the pillar by an invisible force. Numerous, incredibly heavy Mystic Water Divine Locks snaked out from all directions, enveloping him.

There were over ten more than before. After all, he had only been at the Foundation Establishment Realm back then, but now he was at the Nascent Soul Realm.

With the chains binding his body, Wang Mu's face showed a hint of pleasure.

Finally, I'm trapped.

Previously, I was resisting the Emotion Poison solely with my own willpower.

Now, being bound is much better.
