Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 796 - 251: Piao Miaoxu: Let me help you cleanse your body_2

"This is precisely like a child being born, also an excellent opportunity to become one of my clan and start over!"

It made sense. He almost convinced himself. Wait a minute... If he could master the Secret Technique of Piao Miaoxu’s Heavenly Demon lineage and truly absorb the Karmic Fire, could he then fully absorb and control the strand of Karmic Fire that was controlling him?

Wang Mu’s heart skipped a beat.

The only concern was that after Cultivation, he could be controlled by Piao Miaoxu. That would be problematic. Why not give it a try?

"What do I need to do?"

"It’s simple, I will guide you."

Piao Miaoxu waved her hand, dispelling the illusory landscape around her as she coiled in the void. "To become a Heavenly Demon... To become one of my clan, you need to pass two trials. You have already passed the first one."

"I passed?"

"You were willing to die for me earlier, which exactly embodies the will of my clan to sacrifice for all beings."

Wang Mu remained silent.

"And the second trial?"

"This trial is not difficult either," Piao Miaoxu said. "Within my clan, there is an ancestral heritage. This ancestor is known as the Heavenly Control Guest."

Hearing Piao Miaoxu mention the name, Wang Mu knew it was indeed a Heavenly Demon. It was recorded in the Immortal Mansion that among the Heavenly Demons, the strongest warrior was not Sky Demon Emperor Chen, but the Heavenly Control Guest. Furthermore, this Heavenly Control Guest was also controlled by Sky Demon Emperor Chen. As the supreme leader of the Heavenly Demons, Emperor Chen’s strength wasn’t the strongest, yet he almost never died, retaining the memories of his past lives with each reincarnation. Other Heavenly Demons, even if resurrected, often wouldn’t retain their former memories. Old in wisdom and demonic, Emperor Chen was unique among the Heavenly Demons.

The Heavenly Control Guest was particularly special. The records in the Immortal Mansion described this Heavenly Demon as possessing a unique Heavenly Demon Body, able to command the azure sky. With every gesture, it could absorb the essence of all things in the world into its own strength. It was somewhat similar to the Infinite Demon Body, akin to an ultimate version of it. The body of the Heavenly Control Guest concealed countless amounts of Karma, possessing the most terrifying power in the world! He was the sharpest weapon in the hands of Sky Demon Emperor Chen.

Unfortunately, the records in the Immortal Mansion were sparse. To know more about this Heavenly Demon, one would probably have to wait for An Qixiu to be reborn. However, now with Piao Miaoxu, the Master of Heavenly Demon, personally explaining in detail, Wang Mu should be able to learn much more.

"I will soon bestow his legacy upon you," Piao Miaoxu said. "The second trial involves your soul enduring a certain impact during the transfer of the legacy. You simply need to maintain your True Heart."

"Among my clan, there are many ancestors. Of them, this Heavenly Control Guest is the most powerful, possessing an unmatched body. The more Karma he absorbs for Cultivation, the more powerful he becomes; a simple move from him would be unstoppable."

"With my help in this trial, you should have no problem."

In Piao Miaoxu’s consideration, this person already possessed extremely high intelligence. If matched with enough combat strength, he would become her invaluable aide, possibly even rivaling her own. Plus, with the identity of a Heavenly Demon, he would never betray her. How perfect was that?

"How will you help me?" Wang Mu asked.

"Give me your hand."

Wang Mu extended his withered palm. Piao Miaoxu grasped it, her palm flaring with mysterious patterns, her eyes emitting a divine light.

At the moment their palms touched, a torrential surge of soul power suddenly emerged.

Wang Mu’s Sea of Consciousness trembled.

Since his Life Span was nearing its end, many of his Cultivation Techniques, including the cultivated Infinite Demon Body, were practically useless. This was especially true after the Ice Blue Ancient Tree lent him its Life Force. This Life Force completely masked his body’s vital signs; as long as he didn’t use the Infinite Demon Body, no aura would leak out. Aside from the aura emitted by his Primordial Spirit, no other aura was present. This was actually a sign of regression in his Cultivation.

Piao Miaoxu couldn’t detect his Infinite Demon Body because he had completely stopped using it. Coupled with the scorching from the Karmic Fire, the Infinite Demon Body was even more ruined. However, the remarkable thing about this Demon Body was that, though ruined, it could be cultivated again as long as a strand of vitality remained. For instance, if his Infinite Demon Body were to absorb a powerhouse at the Crossing Tribulation or even Ascension Realm at this moment, their power would immediately convert into his Life Span and reactivate the Infinite Demon Body. However, a powerhouse of that caliber wouldn’t just stand by and let him absorb them.

Interestingly, what now emerged in his Sea of Consciousness was also the Wuji Treasure Book, though it was merely its general outline. No, to be precise, it wasn’t called the Wuji Treasure Book. It was called the Heavenly Control Scripture.

This must be the top-secret Cultivation Method of the Heavenly Demon clan.

Wang Mu’s mind trembled slightly. It was, however, about seventy to eighty percent similar to the Wuji Treasure Book. The difference was that the Heavenly Demon Holy Scripture’s Cultivation requirements for a Heavenly Pride were more stringent, and the only energy designated for absorption and Cultivation was Karma. And it also required the Heavenly Demon Bloodline.

Of course, this Holy Scripture mentioned the need for Holy Blood, not specifically Heavenly Demon Bloodline. Piao Miaoxu must have altered it.

Wang Mu sensed it for a moment.

[Cultivation: Heavenly Control Scripture (-)]

It was in an uncultivable state, just as he had expected.

He wasn’t a Heavenly Demon. To cultivate this method, he still had to rely on Piao Miaoxu.

However, the soul consciousness that surged in with the Heavenly Control Scripture was powerful and tumultuous. Like an ancient warrior, it emanated a supreme, iron will. This was undoubtedly the remnant consciousness left behind by a previous generation’s Heavenly Control Guest, a Heavenly Demon. This kind of remnant consciousness, having existed for at least tens of thousands of years—and given that the Heavenly Control Guest was inherently the strongest combatant among the Heavenly Demons—was not something ordinary Cultivators could endure. If one couldn’t withstand it, they would most likely be devoured by this consciousness.

Wang Mu’s heart chilled. If that were the case, he would truly become the Heavenly Demon, Heavenly Control Guest, and no longer Dongfang Mu.

Fortunately, for Wang Mu, this was not much of an issue. This was because his own Primordial Spirit was exceedingly powerful. Even if his Life Span were about to end, his Immortal Infant could likely remain in the world. It could transform into a Loose Cultivator, and it wouldn’t be impossible for him to pursue other Cultivation paths. The Five Elements Soul Essence Immortal Infant that Heroine Yan had guided him in cultivating was extraordinary.

A moment later, Piao Miaoxu’s eyes showed appreciation, "Not bad. Although you seem to be nearing the end of your Life Span, your will is unique and able to effortlessly endure such a soul impact."

"And to become one of my clan, just having the Cultivation Method is not enough," Piao Miaoxu continued. "You also need the Bloodline of my clan, which I can bestow upon you."

"With my Bloodline, if you cultivate this method and continuously absorb Karma for Cultivation, you can live forever."

"But to cultivate and become a Heavenly Control Guest, in addition to the Bloodline, a special item is also needed," Piao Miaoxu pondered. "This ancestor was the strongest combatant in my clan."

"And to become the strongest, one often has to forsake some things and endure pain beyond what ordinary people can withstand."

"So, in this process, you might endure all kinds of pain..."

"No problem. If I can’t withstand it, I’d die anyway."

Seeing this, Piao Miaoxu gathered a speck of golden bloodlight at her fingertip and touched it to Wang Mu’s forehead.

In an instant, Wang Mu felt a torrential, river-like Life Force surge into his body. Though it was negligible compared to the Life Force he sorely lacked, this new Life Force wasn’t immediately absorbed. Instead, it flowed throughout his entire body.

The next second, Wang Mu had a very subtle sensation. He sensed that there seemed to be something different in the world now.

Karma.

He sensed it.

"No wonder Heavenly Demons absorb Karma... This special energy, which is only perceivable by Heavenly Demons, is free-floating outside this world."

Wanting to cultivate the Heavenly Demon’s Secret Technique without the Heavenly Demon Bloodline is impossible. Piao Miaoxu must have adapted the Wuji Treasure Book from this Holy Scripture.

[Cultivation: Heavenly Control Scripture (+)]

Indeed, he could cultivate it now.

Wang Mu’s mind stirred, and he immediately began to use Action Points to start Cultivation.

"Wait, don’t start cultivating yet," Piao Miaoxu said. "You’ve just received my clan’s Bloodline. You need to let it circulate and settle; it’s best to rest a bit before you begin Cultivation."

"How should I do that?" Wang Mu asked, puzzled.

"The bone marrow, Bloodline, and organs of my clan are different from those of ordinary people," Piao Miaoxu explained. "The way energy flows is also different. Although our bodies are broadly similar to humans, they are fundamentally distinct."

"If you cultivate like a normal Cultivator, it’s easy to make mistakes."

"For example, the meridians and acupoints,"
