Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 592 - 199: Empress Mother, Someone Has Passed Your Tests_4

"For so many years, no one has come."

As her voice faded, a woman in palace attire, wearing a Flying Immortal Dress, flew out from a distant palace like a Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman.

This woman wore a veil. Her court dress was imprinted with ancient Divine Beast patterns, and her long hair was tied up high, with only a few strands swaying lightly. A dot of cinnabar adorned her brow, her nobility beyond words.

Her voice, as if imbued with a special effect, carried an ethereal quality—mysterious and ancient.

Wang Mu narrowed his eyes. He hadn't seen her before, yet she felt familiar.

This person...

"Such a young Cultivator..." The fairy stood above the palace, seeming to merge with the vast, round moon, appearing otherworldly and aloof, truly giving Wang Mu the illusion of a fairy from the Heavenly Court.

But he definitely didn't recognize her.

"In so many years, there has never been a Cultivator who could perfectly pass the Ancient River Battlefield, unlock the Observation Army Formation, and ascend to the Moon Palace by the grace of the Holy Tree..."

The fairy said leisurely, "Cultivator from the Lower Realm, may I know your name?"

"Wang Mu of the Sword Sect."

"You are not from Li State, yet you have cultivated the Li State Technique and carry a hint of Li State's aura..." the fairy said. "That also meets the criteria... However, according to... um... the regulations, since you've passed these trials perfectly, I can directly take you to ascend to the Upper Realm and become an Outer Heaven Immortal, transcending the Mortal World. Are you willing?"

"Outer Heaven Immortal?"

"The term 'Immortals of Ascension' refers to those who ascend. Only powerhouses in your Lower Realm who have comprehended the Principles of their own Great Tao can ascend to become Outer Heaven Immortals and roam the universe."

Wang Mu shook his head.

"You are not willing?" The fairy was taken aback, seeming a bit surprised. "Isn't the ultimate pursuit of you people from the Lower Realm to ascend and become Outer Heaven Immortals? Could it be that you doubt me?"

Wang Mu continued to shake his head.

This journey to the Moon Palace, step by step, felt real.

Outer Heaven Immortal...

It looked like Xiao Li had truly led the Li Dynasty of those days to ascend en masse to the Upper Realm.

If this Moon Palace originated from the Li Dynasty and still possesses such strength...

Then it's likely they've become an Immortal Country.

But could it really be that exaggerated?

The other female leads have yet to ascend... for her alone to not only ascend but to bring an entire nation with her?

Isn't that quite a gap?

Considering the circumstances back then, the gap might not actually be that large.

Before Piao Miaoxu was dealt with, Xiao Li had already ascended to the throne.

Once Piao Miaoxu was eliminated, the world's last major evil force was eradicated. What should have followed was an era of prosperity.

With Xiao Li's abilities, she was perfectly capable of ushering in such a flourishing and prosperous era.

In such a golden age, even as heaven and earth underwent changes, she held absolute power. With the entire world under her rule, what could she possibly not obtain?

Naturally, she would have been among the first to encounter Cultivation.

With the backing of a powerful Dynasty, pursuing Cultivation would likely have been effortless for her.

Frankly, all the resources under heaven were at her disposal.

Dynastic Cultivation... national Ascension...

As expected of you...

There was no helping it; her starting point was just too high.

The other female leads already had decent starts.

Yet Xiao Li began directly among the clouds.

Wang Mu sighed inwardly a few times.

"Then why refuse?" The fairy was a bit puzzled, her star-bright eyes somewhat curious.

"My Cultivation in the Mortal World has not yet reached fulfillment..." Wang Mu said. "Compared to Cultivation bestowed upon me, I prefer to progress step by step through my own efforts."

"No, no," the fairy immediately shook her head. "Offering you the status of an Outer Heaven Immortal means you gain the *qualification* to become one; it doesn't magically transform you. In short, it grants you the qualification to ascend to the Upper Realm, bestowing upon you a strand of the Great Taoist Principle.

"In the Upper Realm, there are also many Cultivators. Our Upper Realm also has a population; not everyone is born an Outer Heaven Immortal.

"Moreover, after going to the Upper Realm, you would still have to slowly cultivate into an Outer Heaven Immortal yourself. It's just that the Upper Realm is filled with Immortal Spirit Qi, far richer than in your Lower Realm.

"So, do you understand now? I'm only taking you to the Upper Realm, allowing you to temporarily be an Outer Heaven Immortal, but as for your Cultivation, you still have to do it yourself."

Wang Mu still shook his head.

With so many unresolved matters in the Nine Provinces, how could he possibly leave? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Several of the female leads' situations weren't fully resolved yet.

Even if he were about to ascend, he'd have to settle these things first.

"Then let's forget it," the fairy said without insisting. "I observe Emotional Threads woven around you. Your current Cultivation was not achieved by your efforts alone, was it? You must have relied on quite a few women, right?"

Nonsense!

Wang Mu immediately waved his hand in denial. How could his current Cultivation be solely due to women?

It was mostly due to Action Points!

"Do all of you Immortals from the Upper Realm enjoy casually prying into others' affairs?" Wang Mu asked.

"Not really..." The fairy looked down, seeming a bit embarrassed. "I am the Moon God, in charge of mortal destinies. While the relationships of you Cultivators are not under my jurisdiction, I am naturally able to perceive such things...

"I didn't mean to look; it's just that you're right here in front of me.

"And besides, you're quite special; I can't quite see through you..."

"..." Wang Mu.

"Since you don't wish to become an Outer Heaven Immortal..." The fairy extended a delicate finger. "Then what is it that you desire? I don't quite understand... According to the regulations, I am supposed to bring you back to the Upper Realm... But if you are unwilling, then, in accordance with heavenly rules, I can only respect your wishes..."

Wang Mu briefly mentioned the things he needed.

"The Pan Yang Peach, Yin Yuan Fruit, Divine Mysterious Immortal Root, Nine Heavens Breath Soil... Hmm... if these are all you want..." The fairy tilted her head thoughtfully, seeming incredulous. "To not want to become an Outer Heaven Immortal, and only desire these items... You Cultivators truly are peculiar. Such behavior, prioritizing the trivial over the fundamental—I truly don't understand it."
