Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

"Don't be like you usually are around Grandma..."

"I know, Grandma! Wang Mu, let's hurry!" Little Jiao Huo tugged at Wang Mu's shoulder.

Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds and nodded. Having come all this way, I must return the Emperor Spirit Pearl to Nanrong Biyou. In a sense, the Emperor Spirit Pearl is a token of our romantic destiny; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an unconventional token of love from the game. Since I've severed our connection, I must do so cleanly. The item has to be returned, no matter what. Otherwise, with this bead as the catalyst, what if we become entangled again because of it in the future? Even if going to Sealing God Mountain and meeting Nanrong Biyou might be somewhat dangerous... but since I've already thrown caution to the wind, what is there to fear in life or death?

Wang Mu flew on his sword, taking Little Jiao Huo with him, slowly approaching Sealing God Mountain and heading towards the summit.

However, as they drew near, a powerful oppressive force struck them, making it impossible for Wang Mu to continue flying upward on his sword.

He could only land at the base of Sealing God Mountain.

And the closer they got, the more they realized that the sheer, incredibly smooth face of Sealing God Mountain had steps etched into it.

"Halt! Who goes there?"

Just as they landed at the entrance at the foot of Sealing God Mountain, a commanding shout rang out.

Wang Mu looked closely and spotted an exotic beast at the entrance, flapping its wings and staring at him and Little Jiao Huo. It resembled a tiger with wings on its back and two feet growing from its head.

"I am the Divine Beast guarding Sealing God Mountain!" The beast, although ferocious in appearance, spoke in a voice that was just barely calm. "Sealing God Mountain is sealed and currently forbids entry to external cultivators. For you two to have found this Divine Mountain, you must be blessed with great Qi Fortune... However, the Great Immortal is in seclusion. If you wish to ascend the mountain to seek an Immortal's fate, you must wait here first. I need to report your arrival."

Wang Mu nodded slightly.

Wang Mu assessed the beast. It's very powerful. At least Nascent Soul level, maybe even Divinity Transformation Level. I definitely can't defeat it. This is no Thunder Dragon with only a fraction of its strength remaining... Sealing God Mountain is Nanrong Biyou's Magic Treasure; getting in won't be easy...

The exotic beast soared upwards and quickly disappeared from sight.

As Wang Mu's feet touched the base of Sealing God Mountain, he felt a powerful force instantly seal all his abilities.

Such a terrifying restriction... Wang Mu's heart sank.

A Magic Treasure of this level is simply not something I can resist at my current stage. If I meet Nanrong Biyou now, my chances of survival will be slim... Despite this realization, he remained fearless.

On Sealing God Mountain stood a palace that seemed cast from divine jade, its aura magnificent and brilliant.

Rays of light, like rainbows, enveloped Bi You Palace—a place countless cultivators in Ling Province yearned to reach.

The exotic beast soared straight up, flying to the mountain peak and arriving before the palace. It spoke in a low voice, "Your subordinate Qiongqi has a report to make."

"Speak," a commanding voice came from above the palace.

Looking up, one could see an incredibly beautiful, water-blue Five-clawed Giant Dragon constantly guarding the palace from above.

Clearly, there was a hierarchy among the exotic beasts within Sealing God Mountain. Only the most powerful could guard outside this palace. The rest were mostly at the foot of the mountain or on its slopes; these exotic beasts had all been subdued by the Great Immortal.

"There are two human cultivators at the foot of the mountain seeking an Immortal's fate," the Qiongqi reported.

This water-blue Five-clawed Giant Dragon was, in fact, a Dragon Girl of the purest bloodline from the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, and she cultivated alongside the Great Immortal.

"Hasn't Sealing God Mountain already been sealed? How could human cultivators sense it?" the water-blue Giant Dragon asked.

"These two seem to be blessed with a special Qi Fortune, which allowed them to find our Sealing God Mountain... I believe it must be the Three-Life Blessing, recently bestowed by the Long-term Tree Spirit of Qingqiu Mountain," Qiongqi said. "Only such a blessing could lead them to our Divine Mountain."

"I see..." the water-blue Giant Dragon pondered. "Three-Life Love is indeed rare. Since that's the case, open the Heavenly Ladder for them. Give them the most difficult trial—the toughest one."

"The Great Immortal is in an extremely bad mood right now and is unwilling to see outsiders, not even me... If those two can still ascend the mountain despite such difficulty, it will prove their strength and their romantic destiny. I will then report to the Great Immortal, who might make an exception to meet them."

"Understood," Qiongqi replied and flew back down.

"You two!" Qiongqi said sternly. "If you want to ascend the mountain and see the Great Immortal, it's simple."

It turned to Wang Mu and Little Jiao Huo, pointing upward. "There are restrictions within Sealing God Mountain. If you wish to ascend, you must personally climb all thirty-six thousand nine hundred steps."

"These steps will exert pressure on you, one level higher than your own strength, oppressing both your body and your Divine Sense."

"You are lucky to have found Sealing God Mountain. But you are also unlucky, because the Great Immortal has recently sealed the mountain and is seeing no one. However, you possess the Three-Life Blessing. If you can pass this most difficult trial, the Great Immortal might make an exception and meet you," Qiongqi explained.

Wang Mu was speechless.

"Uncle, Uncle, I am a Registered Disciple of the Great Immortal..." Little Jiao Huo said. "Can't I meet him directly either?"

"Registered Disciple?" Qiongqi grinned. "The Dragon Princess up there was also once a Registered Disciple, and she can only wait outside the Palace, unable to even see the Great Immortal. When has she ever not climbed up herself?"

"This is a trial, and also cultivation, little one. Understand? Never mind a Registered Disciple like you... When I first became a Registered Disciple and came to this Divine Mountain to pay my respects, I also climbed step by step. It took me nearly half a year to reach the top."
