Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 550 - 184: Empress, Xiao Li!_5

Wang Mu looked at the Jinmao Rat.

"Big Brother? Why are you looking at me? This battle between these two is exceptionally splendid, why aren't you watching?" the Jinmao Rat asked.

"Can you understand it?" Wang Mu asked.

"I know a thing or two," the Jinmao Rat nodded. "I have the Wisdom Eye, but I can only understand a little."

Wang Mu was speechless. Is your divine skill that mighty?

"Big Brother, you can't see clearly, can you?" the Jinmao Rat was astonished. "Your realm is similar to mine… For this level of battle, normal Nascent Soul Cultivators also wouldn't understand much… Hmm… You don't have eye-related divine skills, and you don't cultivate this path… It's normal that you can't understand…"

Wang Mu remained silent.

"Big Brother, come, let me lend you my divine skill to watch!" the Jinmao Rat chuckled, extending his palm and drawing a few symbols on Wang Mu's forehead.

In an instant, Wang Mu felt a slight warmth in his eyes. The previously dim world suddenly seemed to fill with countless more colors.

Wang Mu was greatly surprised. This little rat is truly extraordinary. Having such a god-given divine skill is indeed powerful!

It was like opening the door to a new world. Wang Mu gazed into the distant void.

The two combatants seemed to be in a peculiar space. General Yu Lin had long since transformed his Primordial Spirit into a mountain, his Dharma Image solidified. He resembled a reincarnated war god, wielding a crescent-moon halberd and striking towards the Master. The mere air currents from his swings could shatter thousand-foot-high mountains.

However, the Master on the other side appeared effortless. Still holding that ear of rice, a flash of golden light erupted, as if divinely assisted, easily neutralizing all of General Yu Lin's attacks.

What is that magic treasure? Wang Mu wondered. So powerful?

The Master hadn't even revealed his Primordial Spirit, yet he fought so fiercely with General Yu Lin.

Previously, Wang Mu had also seen this Master repel the general who was comforting the Shen Hao Army with just a light flick of his sleeve.

"That should be the Merit Spiritual Treasure of Tianlu Temple..." the Jinmao Rat whispered. "Big Brother, this is an extraordinary divine artifact, a treasure said to be imbued with Immortal Spirit Qi and integrated with Tianlu Temple itself..."

Wang Mu nodded slightly. It's probably a divine artifact on the same level as the Green Frost Sword. Usable by someone at the Tribulation Crossing Realm, yet it possesses such power in an instant.

If this continues... it seems that without deploying the Shen Hao Army, General Yu Lin is undoubtedly bound to lose! He's a minor realm lower and facing such an exotic treasure... Wang Mu mused. Unless General Yu Lin can pull out some other, more powerful methods?

Shortly after, perhaps sensing the disparity, General Yu Lin halted his offensive. It looked like he was preparing to use a major move.

Clearly, this general was very proud, intending to defeat the Master with his own strength.

However, as the Master of Tianlu Temple and a contemporary powerhouse, how could he be so easily defeated? Even though he was trapped in the Desert Sea Plain and had expended considerable cultivation to manage it, he still seemed relatively at ease.

But then...

The next second, General Yu Lin thrust his long halberd into the void. He then fiercely slapped the top of his head, and his externalized, sky-reaching Primordial Spirit violently quivered.

The solidified Dharma Image began to change at an extremely rapid speed.

"Li Dynasty's Divine Power, invincible through the ages, eternal and undying!"

An ancient and deep voice emanated from General Yu Lin.

His Primordial Spirit Dharma Form suddenly underwent a drastic change.

In just a moment, it transformed into a divine general shimmering with purple light, radiating immense majesty!

Instantly, the Master's expression changed dramatically. He immediately manifested his Primordial Spirit into a Dharma Image, becoming a scarecrow that stood in the void, struggling to resist the divine might emanating from the Purple Light God General.

"Damn, General Yu Lin can actually condense such a Primordial Spirit Dharma Form?" The Jinmao Rat's eyes stung, and he quickly closed them.

Wang Mu's Divine Sense recoiled, and he quickly closed his eyes as well.

What was that Purple Light God General just now? How come it felt... somewhat familiar...

Wang Mu frowned slightly. With the Jinmao Rat having closed his eyes, he could no longer see the battle.

But, judging from the last scene where the Master manifested his Primordial Spirit, it was clear he had gotten serious—truly serious.

"Is there a problem with that Dharma Image?" Wang Mu asked in a low voice.

"It's very unusual..." the Jinmao Rat murmured, "but I don't know much... It's related to the legendary rumors about the entire Li State's Ascension ages ago..."

The Jinmao Rat was about to say more.

However, before he could finish, the void shattered.

The Master's figure flew out. His face was somewhat pale, and the ear of rice in his hand was dull and lusterless.

On the other side, General Yu Lin stood in the void. He remained silent, just watching quietly. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Seeing this, most of the cultivators on both sides of the standoff understood the outcome. It wasn't a case of mutual destruction; General Yu Lin clearly had the upper hand.

Instantly, thunderous roars of victory erupted from the Shen Hao Army!

In contrast, the many disciples of Tianlu Temple wore expressions of silent gloom.

Wang Mu and the Jinmao Rat hurriedly flew over.

The Master landed above Tianlu Temple, barely managing to stabilize himself, his expression extremely grim.

"Master, your appearance..." Wang Mu said softly.

"It's not an act... I truly lost," the Master shook his head. "I didn't expect this person to have condensed such a Divine Army Dharma Form... It seems his true intention in coming here was to destroy my Tianlu Temple, perhaps even to forcefully absorb it..."

"What is this person's Dharma Image?" Wang Mu asked.

The Master remained silent.

"Young friend, have you heard the rumors in my Li State about the nationwide Ascension event?" the Master asked.

"Nationwide Ascension?" Wang Mu was stunned.

"Yes," the Master said. "A thousand years ago, my Li State had an unparalleled sovereign who unified the entire Li State. After a celestial change, in less than two hundred years, he cultivated using the nation's Qi Fortune and reached the Ascension Realm. Then, he led the entire Dynasty of that time in a collective Ascension."

"They left the Nine Provinces and went to the Upper Realm."

Wang Mu was shocked. Damn, someone that powerful actually existed? Could he be the first from the Nine Provinces to achieve Ascension? And he took his whole Dynasty with him? Li State had such an incredible cultivator? Wait, a thousand years ago?

He seemed to sense some hidden element.

Wang Mu's heart thudded rapidly.

"This Dynasty you're talking about... is it called the Li Dynasty?" Wang Mu cautiously asked.

"Yes." The Master was surprised. "I didn't expect that you, a cultivator from an Outer Continent, would know. Because of the nationwide Ascension, not many cultivators remained in Li State. Centuries have passed, so few people know about it now; many even dismiss it as mere rumor."

"Simply unbelievable."

"Li Dynasty was the name of the imperial Dynasty at that time."

"The one manifested by General Yu Lin is Gao Hong, the Purple-clothed Divine General of that Li Dynasty."

Wang Mu fell silent.

He knew Gao Hong.

"Later, the name of Li State also originated from this."

"As for that unparalleled sovereign..."

"Was she named... Xiao Li?" Wang Mu asked.

"Ah, young friend, you do know quite a lot..." the Master nodded slightly. "You even know this. However, I advise you not to utter this sovereign's name lightly. It can easily attract significant karmic repercussions, which those with weaker Qi Fortune simply cannot bear."

Wang Mu closed his eyes.

In the original story, there was a female lead who followed the imperial Dynasty path. In the Love Saint ending, Wang Mu considered her the most challenging heroine to romance, bar none. Xiao Yu's biological elder sister. Initially the Seventh Imperial Princess. And later... Empress Xiao Li! Also known as... the Greatly August, Militarily Martial, Qian Yuan, Utmost Sage, Heavenly Venerate Empress.
