Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 534 - 179: Elder Yan, Deceiving Himself _5
Although the sky was dark, the Sword slowly emitted a jade-like soft light as Wang Mu practiced with it.
Before long, Wang Mu thrust his sword, bursting forth with billions of divine lights. He gained a new clarity about the Mixed Elements Heart Sword, and his progress was satisfactory.
「Beneath the Cloud Sea.」
Wang Mu woke, feeling refreshed and clear-headed once more. The comfort of his soul accompanied the improvement in his Cultivation.
Wang Mu looked into the distance. Elder Yan was fishing there, as still as water.
Wang Mu walked over to her and looked into the fish basket—there wasn’t a single fish.
She had her eyes closed, her expression serene.
Wang Mu observed her closely—her clothes were neat, her hair flowed like a waterfall, only slightly tied at the ends, equally tidy. She had once again transformed into that aloof, beautiful, and peerless Sword Immortal.
"Elder Yan... when shall we leave?"
"Anytime."
Wang Mu wasn’t sure how much time had passed, as his experience in the Illusion Realm had felt quite lengthy.
WHOOSH.
Suddenly, the Green Frost Sword flew out.
Elder Yan raised an eyebrow.
Seeing this, Wang Mu asked with a slight smile, "Little Sword Spirit, how is your recovery?"
The Little Sword Spirit flew out, its face full of joy and happiness, exclaiming, "Very good! My recovery is going very quickly!"
Wang Mu glanced at Elder Yan, who stood like a stone sculpture, motionless as a mountain, seemingly unaware of anything.
Wang Mu nodded. The Little Sword Spirit was still honest.
"How do you feel?" Wang Mu asked further.
"Hmm..." The Little Sword Spirit cocked its head and thought for a moment. Then, it suddenly flew to Wang Mu’s side, hung onto him, wrapped its arms around his neck, and clung to his waist. "I still need to do this..." it said.
"Why do you need to do this?" Wang Mu asked.
"Because the recovery is going quickly... your aura is abundant..." The Little Sword Spirit squinted its eyes, looking very happy.
Wang Mu looked at Elder Yan. She nodded slightly without speaking and turned a little, showing him only her back.
Seeing this, Wang Mu understood that her expression must have changed.
The Little Sword Spirit is truly endearing, he thought.
Just as the Little Sword Spirit was about to say something else, a figure flashed by; the Green Frost Sword had disappeared, and the Sword Spirit had flown away.
Elder Yan, who had been fishing as still as water, had unknowingly moved behind him.
"This fish is tough to catch. Let’s go," she said softly.
"..." Wang Mu.
Elder Yan did not discuss her condition, but Wang Mu nonetheless had some understanding of it.
However, even in her weakened state, Elder Yan was still far stronger than him. Ahem... perhaps the Illusion Realm was merely one of her tactics, he mused.
In reality...
Wang Mu thought for a moment. He walked over and took Elder Yan’s hand. It felt exactly like Heroine Yan’s in the Illusion Realm and faintly emitted a glow.
"What are you doing?" Elder Yan asked.
"This fish is tough to catch; perhaps we could try together," Wang Mu said. He pulled her to the side, took out a fishing rod, and gently cast the line.
Elder Yan did not resist, letting Wang Mu hold her hand as they cast the fishing rod together.
Wang Mu said nothing and just waited quietly.
After a while, Elder Yan leaned back slightly, seemingly a bit tired.
Soon, a fish took the bait.
Elder Yan suddenly opened her eyes and said, "If, when you practice your sword, you also maintain such a state of mind, don’t... act rashly. Just be quiet, and that will be enough."
"..." Wang Mu.
Wang Mu thought, The Little Sword Spirit really likes it, though.
「A few days later.」
A visitor arrived from the Cloud Sea; it was none other than Peak Leader Lu Youlian.
After the Heavenly Tribulation, the Sword Sect was enveloped in silence. The deed of Yan Sword Immortal crossing the Heavenly Tribulation and then annihilating an Immortal Sect with a single sword strike quickly spread throughout the Nine Provinces.
To outsiders, how Yan Sword Immortal had managed this was beyond imagination.
The Sword Sect’s several Peak Leaders, however, had indeed seen clearly how Yan Sword Immortal and that sword light sank into the Cloud Sea. After discussing for several days, they decided to come and check on the situation.
"Elder Yan sank into the Cloud Sea several months ago without any news..." Jian Wuqing said. "We juniors must come and see... I hope Yan Sword Immortal is all right..."
During that day’s Crossing Tribulation, they, the six Peak Leaders, had seen everything very clearly. After crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, Yan Sword Immortal had used her Primordial Spirit to annihilate an Immortal Sect of the Upper Realm—an incredible feat. Achieving something like that was simply impossible, even for someone in the Ascension Realm. She had even discarded the descending Immortal Spirit Qi.
"To this day, I still can’t understand it..." sighed Lu Youlian.
Jian Wuqing thought to himself, It’s not just you. Probably no one in the entire Nine Provinces Cultivation World can understand it...
With the Immortal Sect right in front of them, who would give up such an excellent opportunity for Ascension? Attaining Ascension, the ultimate goal of countless cultivators, yet she had abandoned it at the threshold, ultimately falling into the Cloud Sea.
Thus, after several months without any news from Elder Yan, the Sword Sect could only send Lu Youlian down to check on the situation. Being a Female Cultivator, it was appropriate for her to come and visit.
Before coming down, Lu Youlian had guessed by intuition that it might be related to the figure within that ascending golden sword light. But she did not know who it was.
I hope Elder Yan is still well...
As she descended below the Cloud Sea, her eyelids twitched. She suddenly saw two figures, one male and one female, fishing on Source Creek ahead. The two were holding hands, looking very intimate.
The woman she knew well was Elder Yan...
As for the man... Lu Youlian’s breath hitched.
Wang Mu? What is this situation? Isn’t he the Taoist couple of that elder from the Dan King Sect? When did he become so intimate with Elder Yan?
Lu Youlian’s mind went blank.
Suddenly, the two turned around, probably sensing her arrival.
"Master Lu," Wang Mu greeted the visitor. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Neither of them, using their Divine Sense, had preemptively sensed the newcomer. This was especially true for Elder Yan, who meditated daily, allowing her Primordial Spirit to rest by retracting her Divine Sense.
"I..." Lu Youlian hurriedly turned around, repeatedly saying, "I didn’t see anything..."
"..." Wang Mu.
Wang Mu coughed and said, "I was just fishing with Elder Yan down here..."
"..." Lu Youlian.
She thought to herself, Does fishing require holding hands tightly? What kind of fish are they catching?
"What brings you here?" Elder Yan stood up, releasing her hand, and asked indifferently.
Lu Youlian still didn’t dare turn around, but she reported, "You’ve been in the Cloud Sea for a long time... We didn’t know your situation and wanted to come look... It’s just that recently, those Demon Sects seem to be making some unusual movements..."
"What kind of movements?"
"There are rumors that the founder of Yuanhai Hall, also known as Shuo Wuji, the Yuanhai Demon Venerate, has been resurrected!"
