Chapter 790 - 249 Hurry, Saint!_2
"Before answering this question, Senior, may I first ask you one of my own?"
"What is it?"
"This fish..." Wang Mu pondered for a moment. "How does it allow us Cultivators from the Lower Realm to evade Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Consuming the fish bestows an Immortal Spirit Body, which is not affected by the Heavenly Tribulations of the Lower Realm," the shadowy figure said indifferently. "For you Cultivators from the Lower Realm, it allows for Ascension in broad daylight. Evading Heavenly Tribulation is just the least impressive ability of this fish."
"Of course, in the Lower Realm, this is the most attractive feature."
"Can it be consumed at any stage of cultivation?"
"Best at the time of Ascension, next best when Crossing Tribulation. Others who consume it cannot withstand the Immortal Spirit Qi within and will surely perish."
Wang Mu understood. "Can I see what kind of Treasure it is?" he suddenly asked.
With a flick of the figure’s finger, illusory light solidified into a golden Immortal Fruit.
"This is an Upper Realm Immortal Fruit; eating one in the Lower Realm can extend one’s Life Span by 30,000 years," the figure explained. "Your Life Span is depleted. By rights, you should have already entered the cycle of reincarnation, but your life is temporarily locked, which truly means your life is short. Isn’t this object a Supreme Treasure to you?"
Wang Mu touched the Lucky Cat at his waist.
Moon God: It’s... an Immortal Fruit from the gardens of the Upper Realm, meant to increase Immortal Essence. It can extend Immortal Essence by 300 years, and for Cultivators from the Lower Realm, it can extend Life Span by tens of thousands of years. However, this kind of Immortal Fruit can only be consumed by Immortals who have washed away all Karma and shed their mortal form. Those from the Lower Realm with heavy Karma can’t fully utilize its benefits; extending Life Span by 10,000 years is good enough, and its value definitely can’t compare to the Immortal Spirit Fish. It is indeed useful to you.
The Immortal Official, although spouting some falsehoods, was still making sense and knew how to apply the right remedy. Trying persuasion before force, he probably wouldn’t act rashly in the Lower Realm for fear of attracting the capture of Divine Generals from the Upper Realm. If words could suffice, then force was unnecessary.
After a moment’s contemplation, Wang Mu shook his head and refused, "No thanks."
"Oh? Why not?"
"Because..."
After a moment’s thought, Wang Mu slapped the Lucky Cat at his waist. The next second, the Moon God once again took her own form, surrounded by divine light in the void!
"Yan De Immortal Official! Fleeing to the Lower Realm unauthorized, won’t you submit to execution!"
The Moon God’s voice was stern, and a brilliant Immortal light shone forth. The light, a pale red, swiftly broke through the special Immortal Realm around them.
The figure was taken aback, his eyes flashing with insight, seemingly piercing through the Moon God’s disguise in an instant. He smirked, "So you are backing him. I wondered how this insignificant Lower Realm Cultivator was able to catch a Divine Fish from the Upper Realm, even having an Upper Realm’s Immortal Beast at his side... With your status, why aren’t you enjoying yourself in your own Moon Palace instead of acting as a Divine General in the Lower Realm?"
The Moon God gave a cold snort.
In her heart, she silently admitted that she had been forced to use some of her strength. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have willingly used her power in the Lower Realm.
Wang Mu moved behind the Moon God, reverting to his middle-aged man appearance.
As the Moon God broke some of the surrounding space’s constraints, Wang Mu could roughly gauge that her strength was probably less than that of the Immortal Official. After all, she was in charge of earthly affairs like marriages in the Lower Realm; how strong could she be? Fortunately, both were now limited to the Ascension Realm having come down to the Lower Realm.
"I’d better slip away." Wang Mu patted the Immortal Cloud Kun to signal that it should perform well. Then he retracted the Divine Fish and slipped away through the gaps in the surrounding space.
He escaped the spatial domain of that Immortal Official and found himself back at the Ruoshui Pond.
"It’s you!"
"How are you here?" Gu Yuqing’s voice came in surprise from the side.
Back at this place, Wang Mu saw that most Cultivators were as dazed as silly fish, with only a few barely lucid. He didn’t know what kind of Immortal Law the Immortal Official had used.
"Wang Mu has caught a Divine Fish; a huge catastrophe is imminent," said Wang Mu. "It’s time to report to the Saint and let him come here to reap the benefits."
"What do you mean?" Gu Yuqing asked with a grave voice.
"Hasn’t the Ancient Sage told you?" said Wang Mu. "He has a great calamity approaching right now. That Divine Fish is the Ignition, and the calamity is a powerful being at the Ascension Peak."
"I came here naturally to keep an eye on you, but you’ve done well, not revealing your identity and even reporting on Wang Mu’s whereabouts." Saying this, Wang Mu patted Gu Yuqing on the shoulder.
Gu Yuqing looked at him intently, and then she transmitted her voice suddenly, "Was that Cultivation Technique left by you?"
"Who exactly are you? What are you trying to do?"
There was no response to her transmission.
Wang Mu took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, only to find that it was now useless. Because the Moon God and Little Kun had already started a fierce battle with the Immortal Official. This battle, though taking place in a special space, the powerful energy fluctuations completely disrupted the flow of Spiritual Energy in the Ruoshui Pond, causing the balance to be lost and even making all Talismans temporarily ineffective. Even the Cultivators lost a certain amount of their fighting strength. The battle of the powerful, even contained within a special space, the residual energy released was enough to destroy heavens and obliterate earth.
"You must have a special way of contacting the Ancient Sage," said Wang Mu. "You must report to her swiftly and have her come here."
Gu Yuqing did not respond.
At this time, if she were to let Piao Miaoxu come, she would definitely want to seize the opportunity to kill Brother Wang. No, that can’t happen.
"If you don’t let the Ancient Sage come, your beloved friend will have no chance of defeating an Ascension Expert," continued Wang Mu. "This place belongs to the Heavenly Water Sect, and there are no Ascension Experts of the same strength here. Even if there were, they would only be from the New Sect Ascension, no match for that one. Even if you don’t care for your own life, since it’s controlled by the Ancient Sage, surely only the Ancient Sage’s arrival will possibly save your beloved friend, right?"
