Chapter 144: Brother Mu, Do You Really Not Want Miss You Anymore?_2
Especially those eyes, most terrifying of all. Can one really cultivate their body in such a place? What a freak.
"The Great Immortal said you have only one month," Ao Qing said, "and moreover, as long as you earnestly give her that bead, she has a way to restore your current condition. Afterwards, you can peacefully stay by her side in Bi You Palace and cultivate with her, fulfilling your promise from the past. Everything else that should be settled will be settled.
"It's all negotiable; she can even guide your Cultivation, providing you with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Your body must be very exhausted now, right?
"You might be able to utilize the immense pressure of the Mountain and Sea to cultivate your body at the Soul-locking Pillar, but this place has no Spiritual Power. Even if your Cultivation has progressed, you can't recover, and you must be extremely fatigued at this moment.
"I have some top-quality Canghai Jade Dew here. This is the quintessence of water that condenses only a few drops every hundred years in Bibo Sea. For a Cultivator at your Realm, just one drop can not only immediately restore your body and Divine Sense to their optimal state but also elevate your Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm Peak.
"Have you thought it through?"
... Wang Mu thought. Bi You is still so clever. Both carrot and stick. The meaning of these words is quite clear; it translates to: I have a way to help you recover your emotions, but you can only restore feelings for me; all others must be completely severed. From now on, you'll be with me, and past matters will no longer be important. In short, this means she wants me to live off a woman, and I can only depend on her... If I hadn't severed my feelings, I might have considered living off a powerhouse from the Ascension Realm. Now, well...
Ao Qing finished speaking, unable to contain herself. What great conditions! The Great Immortal must really value this human Cultivator! The promised conditions have already completely exceeded what one would offer to a Disciple. If not a Disciple by her side, then it can only be... cultivating a Taoist couple?
An idea popped into Ao Qing's mind. Looking at Wang Mu, Ao Qing vaguely understood. Does the Great Immortal actually want to play a game of nurturing a Taoist couple?
However, as Wang Mu slowly shook his head, Ao Qing's Dragon's Horn protruded; she was angered. How can you not understand such obvious words?
"Since it's like this…" Ao Qing huffed, "then you just prepare to endure the ravaging of these Evil Beasts! The Great Immortal said if you can subdue the Sea Demon King, she might also make an exception and let you go."
Obviously, this was an impossible task. The Sea Demon King had never been subdued by any other Evil Beast, except when initially forcibly suppressed by the Great Immortal; for any other to even make it spare them a glance would be considered a feat.
Wang Mu frowned slightly and said indifferently, "What if I slaughter a few Evil Beasts? Would your Great Immortal blame me?"
"Slaughter a few?" Ao Qing felt like she had heard a joke. "Human Cultivator, wake up, stop dreaming! These Evil Beasts, even if suppressed for countless years and greatly weakened in strength, can burst forth with shocking power as soon as some of their Primordial Mystic Heavy Water Chains are released!
"Some may not be able to perform well in water, but you, a human, also cannot exert much power in water.
"No matter how weak they are now, they all possess at least the power of the Golden Core Realm. That's not something a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator like you can contend with, especially in your current state. Even if your Spiritual Power were unshackled and you could use it, you couldn't possibly defeat these Evil Beasts."
Wang Mu remained silent. Given Nanrong Biyou's attitude, I fear she won't let me leave easily.
Seeing that Wang Mu did not respond, Ao Qing could only fly above the Water Prison. She moved slowly through the water as if performing a special dragon dance, then abruptly opened her dragon mouth, spitting out a mysterious Water Drop Treasure.
The droplet was jet black, yet it radiated a brilliant, interwoven luminescence.
"Release!" Ao Qing commanded, circling the Water Drop Treasure, seemingly chanting a Spell.
「The next second.」
The roaring growls in the Water Prison came forth violently, like a fierce summons from the deep sea—low and suppressed, yet brimming with a terrifying excitement.
In that instant, Wang Mu felt the chains on his body loosen, and the stone pillar at his back no longer exerted its strong suction force. The Spiritual Power within his body began to circulate slowly.
Without the blessing of Little Jiao Huo—to be precise, after coming to the Sea Prison, there had been no blessings at all—I am still only at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. But my body is terrifyingly strong! In just over a month, I've broken through two layers of the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique! To think, initially, just entering the First Layer took me three months. As Cultivation progresses, it should logically take longer. Now, two layers in a month—this is the effect of a Cave Heaven Blessed Land! Bibo Sea, Sealing God Mountain... according to what the Vulture Clan said, this is the foremost among the three great Grotto Heavens of Ling Province! There probably aren't many places in the Nine Provinces Cultivation World that could compare to such a treasured land.
Growls echoed continuously from all directions. Several Evil Beasts, with a few of their chains temporarily unlocked, were as excited as wolves entering a sheep pen. And Wang Mu was the only little lamb in this pen.
"Don't rush, take it slowly," Wang Mu murmured to himself.
He closed his eyes and first changed into his three pieces of Divine Equipment: the Stepping Sword Cloud Shoes, the Sword Sea Dragon Pattern Robe, and the Clearing Spirit Leisurely Crown.
Although I'm not planning to use a sword technique, the enhancement to Spiritual Power and Divine Sense, along with the defensive capabilities of this equipment, are sufficiently strong. Most importantly, two of these items possess the power of Water Manipulation, which will greatly reduce my combat hindrance in the water, ensuring I won't be weakened by the environment. Unlike with the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation, the first two of these items are Mid-grade Magical Artifacts, and the third is a Top-grade Magical Artifact. Suitable only for Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivation, my current level of Spiritual Power can fully maximize the efficiency of these three pieces of equipment!
