Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Little Jiao Huo seemed to understand, yet not quite.

"We have to climb for that long?" Little Jiao Huo asked.

"I was considered fast," Qiongqi said with a measure of patience. "You're unlucky because this time you're climbing the longest staircase up the mountain. When I climbed, it was just over 10,000 steps, and the pressure was equivalent to my cultivation realm."

"Currently, the Great Immortal is in seclusion, and rumor has it her mood is quite foul. Seeing her will naturally be even more challenging."

"If it weren't for your Three-Life Blessing, the Dragon Princess probably wouldn't have allowed you to ascend."

"Alright, prepare yourselves and begin the ascent. I will be watching you at all times. If you can't hold on, I will bring you down then."

Little Jiao Huo looked towards Wang Mu.

Wang Mu nodded and led Little Jiao Huo slowly onto the stairs.

There was indeed a pressure, but to Wang Mu's current physique and Divine Sense, it felt negligible.

It's too weak, Wang Mu thought. And...

This is actually a good opportunity to cultivate the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique. This Sealing God Mountain, with its inherent mountain-like pressure, is even more potent, making cultivation here more effective.

Thinking this, Wang Mu didn't even use his Spiritual Power Shield, resisting purely with his physical body.

If I activate the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, the pressure should intensify... I'll use it later...

Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Little Jiao Huo beside him. "How do you feel?"

"It feels so heavy..." Little Jiao Huo pouted. "Can I use spells to resist?"

"If you can cast them, it's fine. Normally, circulating your internal Spiritual Power can reduce this pressure; all other spells are ineffective."

Little Jiao Huo tried, and sure enough, he couldn't even conjure a bubble.

He could only trudge along after Wang Mu, one step at a time.

Qiongqi followed the two, keeping track of the time.

Hmm, that human Cultivator seems quite relaxed, but this little Merfolk appears to be struggling. To reach the mountain summit, it would probably take him at least a year or two. He's not some Exotic Beast; his physical strength isn't high... Speaking of which, how could the Great Immortal accept such a little Merfolk as a Registered Disciple?

Qiongqi shook his head. The Great Immortal didn't have many Registered Disciples, nor few. While some were weaker, none were as weak as this little Merfolk.

He himself was an Exotic Beast from heaven and earth, naturally extraordinary.

After three days of effort and climbing 3,000 steps, Wang Mu still felt nothing. Little Jiao Huo, however, was gasping for air, his Spiritual Power utterly depleted, unable to hold on any longer.

Moreover, the higher they climbed, the stronger the pressure became.

At this rate, it would likely take a year and a half to reach the summit.

"Wang Mu, I can't go on! You go ahead..." Little Jiao Huo panted, his tail curled up. His fishtail was rubbed raw, a look of helplessness on his face.

Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds, then looked at Qiongqi. "Can I carry him and continue?"

"Naturally. You possess a Romantic Destiny blessing; you should indeed help each other ascend the stairs," Qiongqi nodded slightly. "Just be clear: if you carry him, you will also bear his share of the pressure."

Wang Mu nodded and squatted in front of Little Jiao Huo. "Get on."

For these three days, Wang Mu had walked very slowly to accommodate Little Jiao Huo's pace.

As this Strange Beast Qiongqi said, this ascent was indeed a form of cultivation. The pressure emitted by the Divine Mountain was strong, but it also served to temper one's physique, purify internal Spiritual Power, and increase its capacity.

For these Exotic Beasts, it was a form of rest.

But for many Cultivators, especially those who practiced Body Refining, it was also a rare cultivation haven.

Even if they didn't get to meet the Great Immortal, spending a year and a half on this journey would absolutely be comparable to several years of arduous cultivation.

Little Jiao Huo wrapped his arms around Wang Mu's neck, whispering, "Wang Mu, when I recover, I'll carry you."

Wang Mu thought, With that tiny fishtail of yours, you probably couldn't carry me.

He mentally weighed him. Too light.

The pressure on Wang Mu increased slightly.

Hmm, now I can activate the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique.

Wang Mu took a deep breath, narrowed his eyes at the stairs above, and slowly began to circulate the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, entering a state of focused cultivation.

Add points!

The next second, he shot upward like an arrow.

Little Jiao Huo was flabbergasted.

Qiongqi was equally dumbfounded.

Watching Wang Mu vanish from sight in an instant, the one being carried and the one flying were both completely stunned.

"Did something go wrong with Sealing God Mountain?" Qiongqi mused, landing on the stairs.

A tremendous pressure assailed him.

No, it's working correctly.

This human Cultivator... he's clearly only at the Foundation Establishment Realm... yet he's facing pressure close to the Golden Core Realm... the pressure from Sealing God Mountain... and it's the burden of two people... How can he still move so fast here?

Qiongqi hurriedly flew to keep up. Is he cheating?

However, as he flew, he found he could barely keep up with Wang Mu's sprinting speed.

A monster! He's definitely a monster! Is this guy some kind of reincarnated Divine Beast? Where did he get such a powerful physique? HISS... That's 10,000 steps already... What in the world? The sun hasn't even set...

Wang Mu sped along, and in just a few days, he reached the 30,000-step mark.

It was only here that he finally felt a significant compressive force on his body.

The mountain-and-sea patterns on his back glowed faintly, symbolizing the energy of the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique.

This Body Refining Technique, when cultivated to its highest level, supposedly allowed one to manifest true mountains and seas within the body. One would then embody the mighty power of actual seas and mountain ranges, evident in every movement.

And the patterns on his back were the symbols of this immense power.

Fourth Layer, Wang Mu thought, taking a deep breath as he sensed the increased strength of his physique.

The Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, with only Ten Layers, is extremely difficult to cultivate, even more so than the Hundred Refinement Body Technique.
