Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 524 - 178: Practicing Sword in the Pond, Yan Nest on the Pasture

Chapter 524: Chapter 178: Practicing Sword in the Pond, Yan Nest on the Pasture

In a daze, Wang Mu felt a touch of coldness pass over his lips.

"Am I going to hell?"

"Hell can freeze lips, huh?"

He thought.

As a Golden Core Realm cultivator, theoretically, even if his physical body was destroyed, he could still be reborn from a drop of blood or seize someone else’s body. However, Wang Mu knew that the power of the Sky-cutting Sword was too strong. Not even Golden Core Realm cultivators, let alone those who had cultivated a Primordial Spirit and reached the Nascent Soul Realm, could achieve this.

Normally speaking, he would definitely be dead.

But... Wang Mu felt that he might not die either.

The one who died was Dongfang Mu.

The one who was cut down was also Dongfang Mu.

This act was not a meaningless suicide.

As a man who had achieved the Love Saint ending and cleared the game countless times, Wang Mu had a plan.

The reason was simple.

It was because of the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram, a Divine Skill that appeared after his Heavenly Dao Foundation Building. It was also the protagonist’s collectible feature in the game.

So far, the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram had never been fully illuminated. Of the seven heroines, two were still indistinct. The four phantoms with varying degrees of brightness represented certain levels of progress.

Miss You was the first to light up, shining brightly. But unfortunately, it was not fully manifest, meaning... it had not reached the true extreme, which in the game would be called a perfect conquest. But being lit up meant he was not far from success.

According to Wang Mu’s estimation, if this were in this world, perhaps it would require all of them to undergo Ascension and pass their Crossing Tribulation before it could be fully illuminated. Because ever since he came to this world, it seemed his sole role was to be a tool for their Ascension.

Therefore, the function of the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram became clear to Wang Mu.

The same held true for Yan Qingwu. Miss You was the first to light up because, after the Divine Skill appeared, she was the first one whose situation he resolved.

In reality, after the Seven Emotions Sword Heart was reconstructed, Heroine Yan also lit up. Wang Mu guessed that although the Divine Skill had appeared later, Heroine Yan had also lit up. This was likely because she was the first person he had encountered in this world. This, coupled with previous events like practicing sword, him giving her pills, her sword cultivation, and other incidents, as well as the recent journey in Anle Village and refining swords at the Dan King Sect—especially after refining the Love and Affection Dual Swords—meant the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram was already exceptionally bright, just one step shy of completion.

Therefore, Wang Mu went to the Sword Sect Holy Land and saw Yan Qingwu’s thousand-year experiences, so he figured it was time to become the tool for her Ascension.

To complete his mission!

Also, as a safeguard, Wang Mu hoped that the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram would not let him down. Because in the game, Heroine Yan’s Love Stronger than Gold Diagram had a strong bond. Once illuminated, not only would the power of his swordsmanship increase by one hundred percent, but when fighting alongside Yan Qingwu, he could avoid death once. She herself had a natural resilience effect, which in the game meant locking health until the end of the fight.

Of course, for the current Heroine Yan, any effect was irrelevant.

The key was himself.

Avoiding death once—such an exclusive ability wasn’t considered very impressive in the game. But in reality, that could be incredibly powerful.

Wang Mu thought, If I kill myself, it could possibly free Heroine Yan from her Heart Demon, allow her Primordial Spirit to achieve Perfection, and she could ascend and depart. And by then, I could also illuminate the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram, avoid death, and be reborn. Wouldn’t that be perfect? If I really die... then there’s nothing to be done... After all, it was just a capability from the game. Would it still be effective in the current world? I’m not sure.

So, the moment he closed his eyes, as his life essence drained away, Wang Mu was sensing the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram within his Sea of Consciousness.

Perhaps the Sky-cutting Sword was too powerful, or he died too quickly. He was completely unaware of Heroine Yan manifesting in the Love Stronger than Gold Diagram before his consciousness began to blur.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. Suddenly, it was as if all streams returned to the sea, and consciousness gathered back into his soul.

Wang Mu abruptly opened his eyes and looked around.

Birdsong and the fragrance of flowers, cocks crowing and dogs barking, wooden houses surrounding him—noisy sounds echoed in his ears.

"Anle Village?"

Wang Mu was startled. "Don’t tell me I have to start all over again?"

He sensed his surroundings. Hmm... no Divine Sense; he couldn’t sense anything.

It seems... I’ve really come back?

Wang Mu wasn’t quite sure. He looked around Anle Village and realized these weren’t Aunt Hong, Tie Hu, Tie Niu, and the others. It was a different group of people.

"Uh... wait, the Anle Village from the game?"

"Could it be..."

Wang Mu’s heart steadied. Just then, a clear and soothing voice reached his ears:

"Friend, can you tell me how to get to Dangyang Ridge outside Anle Village?"

This voice sounded somewhat familiar to Wang Mu. He turned around and immediately froze.

"Heroine Yan?" Wang Mu exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, you know me?" the owner of the voice asked, surprised.

Wang Mu clammed up.

Goodness, I don’t know if I’m dead or not. Am I in an Illusion Realm again? What’s going on? It seems Love Stronger than Gold didn’t trigger. Am I dead or not? Heroine Yan should have ascended, right? It’s unlikely she’d still be involved in something like this.

Wang Mu thought, This shouldn’t be. I had assumed there wouldn’t be any sort of Illusion Realm recollection with Heroine Yan... After all, those several times, to put it bluntly, it was Miss You and the others who wanted to test if I truly was Dongfang Mu and to find out what Dongfang Mu had been up to after disappearing. That’s why they created those scenarios. I had thought that with Heroine Yan, this wouldn’t be triggered, that I could escape this ordeal. Damn it, so I couldn’t avoid it after all, huh? Only... this seems different from the previous times. Back then, my memories only appeared at critical moments.
