Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint-Chapter 547 - 184: Empress, Xiao Li!_2

The Master sighed. "To think that it has come to this state in my hands... I truly have no face to meet our ancestors..."

The Jinmao Rat turned and said to Wang Mu, "Big Brother, this Desert Sea Plain has been infected by some peculiar, eerie aura. It has even altered its original karma. Not only has Demon Art contaminated this place, I fear that an extremely troublesome karma-related technique has been used as well.

"Within the Nine Provinces Cultivation World, only the Creation Gate possesses such techniques.

"However, the Creation Gate has never made a public appearance. Even if they had, it would only be to help the myriad cultivators and bring blessings to the Nine Provinces, not to commit such acts. Only an Ascension Expert who disregards principles might have methods capable of changing the fate of the land..."

Wang Mu pondered thoughtfully.

His cultivation base was low, and his realm was not as high as the Suihe Temple Master's. Nor did he possess the Jinmao Rat's special divine skills.

But he had the Spirit of Nature. After descending to the Spirit Field, he indeed sensed a very strange aura.

Though on the surface it just seemed like the Spirit Field had become barren, it was, in fact, contaminated.

The Master murmured, "Although I possess Crossing Tribulation cultivation, the Desert Sea Plain is too vast... In some places, things still grow, but only because I've used my cultivation and the Root and Soil Growth Technique from the Emperor Earth Scripture to maintain the surface appearance. Otherwise, these rice ears wouldn't just be yellowed; they'd be completely withered.

"It won't hold for much longer.

"Without the help of an Ascension Expert, Tianlu Temple might just end by my hand... Whether the Desert Sea Plain becomes a tool for their Dynasty or is destroyed outright, it will bring endless calamities to all of Li State in the future...

"Moreover, if they can destroy the Desert Sea Plain... the fertile lands in other regions of the Nine Provinces might also suffer from this same peculiar, eerie power..."

The Master sighed repeatedly.

Wang Mu reflected, looking at the situation within the Spirit Field.

A strange power... Conflict in Li State... Calamities for the Nine Provinces...

Could it be... a Heavenly Demon? Wang Mu contemplated.

The power that even the Suihe Temple Master could not resolve could only belong to the Heavenly Demon mentioned by the Ice Blue Ancient Tree. This was the same being that the Sixth Generation Immortal had subdued in the Ancient Era.

And times had changed.

The Heavenly Demon that awakened in that era might not have the same level of power as a Heavenly Demon awakening in this era.

Is the Heavenly Demon DLC about to drop?

With Piao Miaoxu, the Great Demon, also stirring up trouble, the road ahead is fraught with danger! Wang Mu suddenly felt.

The Heavenly Demon's methods were unfathomable. Wang Mu didn't quite understand them and decided he first needed to get a clear grasp of the situation.

"Can't this ear of rice be ripened with a spell?" Wang Mu asked.

"Impossible," the Master said. "If forcibly ripened with a spell, it will be infected by this special aura. This will contaminate a cultivator's Primordial Spirit and lead to a special calamity from Heaven's Punishment.

"A few months ago, several of my disciples tried to ripen them with magic, but their Primordial Spirits were quickly infected. With Heaven's Punishment upon them, they experienced random thunderstorms and Heavenly Demon attacks, which was quite troublesome.

"Besides, compared to the entire Desert Sea Plain, ripening a few is just a drop in the bucket.

"The proper way is to care for the billions of fertile fields in the Desert Sea Plain and ensure their cyclical growth. Spell-induced ripening is typically reserved only for some rarer Spirit Plants. Mostly, we use spells to nourish the Desert Sea Plain, making the land more fertile so it can produce more Spirit Plants.

"Furthermore, as the contamination by Flame Breath intensifies, this strange power that renders the land barren and arid grows stronger. Now, even ripening them is impossible."

Wang Mu pondered for a moment, his palm radiating a faint green mysterious light as he gently activated the Primordial Wood Golden Core within his body.

The aura of life flowed from his palm as Wang Mu gently brushed it over the rice ear.

Suddenly, the rice ear swayed twice. Its once dull-yellow stalk began to grow at a visible rate...

In the blink of an eye, it ripened, each grain full and emitting a faint, fresh fragrance...

"Huh?!"

The Master, having just spoken, was suddenly stunned by the sight.

"Damn, Big Brother, you know Farming Technique too?" the Jinmao Rat scratched its head and asked. "Since when did your Sword Sect excel in this?"

Wang Mu closed his eyes to sense.

In the next second, dark clouds spread across the sky, as if the aura of tribulation clouds was descending.

But in an instant, the dark clouds quickly dissipated.

The Master was taken aback once more.

He looked at Wang Mu in shock.

As expected of the Taoist partner of an Ascension Realm expert! He can even dispel Heaven's Punishment!

And this magic... I've never seen anything like it before!

Interesting... Wang Mu mused.

This is the power of a Heavenly Demon.

And he knew which Heavenly Demon it was.

In the Immortal Mansion, Wang Mu had left his life essence on the statues of dozens of Heavenly Demons, so he was familiar with them.

Those statues weren't just mere figures; they also contained information about the beings they depicted.

This must have been the foresight of the Sixth Generation Immortal. He left these statues to prevent the reappearance of Heavenly Demons when he himself was not reincarnated, hoping future generations would see them, learn, and know how to deal with them.

A very cautious approach, indeed.

So, the trial of leaving one's name was actually to guard against the future emergence of Heavenly Demons.

Even if the Demon Suppression God Seal didn't appear, cultivators of later generations who saw these Heavenly Demons in the Immortal Mansion would eventually figure out ways to deal with them.

"The Heavenly Demon, Drought Crown."

A Golden Crow born beyond the heavens, it incinerates all existence, transforms the spirit of the earth into desolation, and draws the land's consequential karma unto itself. It is perverse, arrogant, sinister, and exceedingly cunning...

Wang Mu recalled the records from the Heavenly Demon statues.

It was one of the latter types of Heavenly Demons mentioned, the kind that are quite difficult to deal with.

According to the records, this type of Heavenly Demon was born within the sun beyond the heavens and transformed into a demon spirit. It was driven by a desire to burn everything in the world to ashes, turn the earth into a barren wasteland, and absorb the karmic force of the earth's ley lines. It was described as extremely insidious, arrogant, and exceptionally deceitful...
