Little Jiao Huo suddenly thought of sothing and said, "Great Immortal, is that bead very important to you?"
"It is very important," Immortal Bi You replied in a low voice.
"When Wang Mu climbed up Sealing God Mountain just now without stopping to catch his breath..." Little Jiao Huo tugged at the Great Immortal’s arm. "It shows that he actually has you in his heart and wants to quickly bring that bead to you!"
"Great Immortal, you wouldn’t know, but when I was on Wang Mu’s back, I could feel the determination in his heart."
"He was wholeheartedly focused on climbing up to see you and give you the bead! He definitely has you in his heart..."
Immortal Bi You moved her lips. When she first saw Wang Mu appear on the mountaintop, she was indeed overjoyed and pleasantly surprised. At that mont, she truly believed it was just as this little one had said.
Ever since she sensed that Wang Mu had severed a few emotional ties over at Mo Xilan’s, she had held so worries in her heart.
That foolish woman, Mo Xilan, only ever thought of hogging things for herself, even from the very beginning.
And it ended up provoking that fellow to sever all his emotions.
With that severance, it ant that all karmic ties were temporarily cut off.
Without those karmic ties, sensing Wang Mu’s position or knowing his condition was impossible, even for them as Ascension Realm powerhouses.
Because Wang Mu was no ordinary Cultivator!
He was the carrier of Heaven and Earth’s Qi Fortune, the one who had shattered the Gate of Apocalypse with a single punch and returned after a thousand years—the Destined One.
If there was no special karmic connection with him, even Cultivators in the Ascension Realm couldn’t find his exact location. They couldn’t sense what might have happened to him, or whether he had encountered any dangers, and so on...
In the vastness of the Nine Provinces, it was entirely possible for him to hide in an immortal’s cave for a thousand years of Cultivation or to be devoured by so Fierce Beast...
She had been thinking about these things for days...
And just as she was lost in thought, he himself had arrived, bringing the Emperor Spirit Pearl.
In that instant, she seed to see across a thousand years, as if in the Three-Life Illusion Realm, to the figure that had crawled to her side in the Wa Clan Sacred Land.
How could her heart not be filled with joyful surprise and profound emotion?
She had initially thought that perhaps he hadn’t completely severed his ties. Not until he uttered those words that made her heart plumt as if into an abyss!
Indeed, having already condensed the Seven Emotions Sword Heart and severed his emotions, he truly intended to sever everything completely!
"If that were the case, it would be good," Immortal Bi You gently stroked Little Jiao Huo’s smooth hair.
"He said he would ’return’ the bead to , not ’give’ it to . That ans he’s directly severing this emotional tie, wanting to beco a deserter and abandon all of this. Tell , Great Immortal, should I be angry?"
"..." Little Jiao Huo was taken aback. So that was what his words ant.
"Then you really should be angry..." Little Jiao Huo said weakly. "How could Wang Mu be like this?"
Immortal Bi You remained silent. The matter of the Seven Emotions Sword Heart was rather complicated; this little one wouldn’t understand it imdiately even if she were told.
"Why don’t you tell about what happened between you two?" Immortal Bi You said softly. She wanted to know what he had been doing these past few months.
Little Jiao Huo recounted everything in detail.
"So that’s how it was..." Immortal Bi You looked at Little Jiao Huo, a flicker of understanding in her eyes. She murmured, "I thought you had reincarnated long ago. I never expected you to still be here... It’s truly been hard on you... Fortunately, you haven’t awakened yet... otherwise, seeing this scoundrel behave like this..."
"Little Xi, how about I take you as my Direct Disciple?" Immortal Bi You asked, squinting her eyes at Little Jiao Huo.
Hmph, Three-Life Love... During the days I couldn’t sense you, you went and hooked up with another one—and she’s even my disciple!
Quite the feat.
However, it seems you’re quite taken with this little one...
Little Jiao Huo’s eyes widened. Being a Direct Disciple should an becoming even closer to the Great Immortal, right?
Then she should be able to persuade the Great Immortal to release Wang Mu sooner...
"Yes, yes!" Little Jiao Huo said excitedly.
At this mont, a voice transmission ca from outside.
"Great Immortal, that man... has already been locked up," the voice reported.
"Hmm," Immortal Bi You acknowledged.
"Great Immortal..." Ao You, who was outside, paused to think for a mont. "The Bibo Sea Prison holds many imprisoned Ancient Ferocious Beasts and Sea Beasts... Not to ntion them, the Soul-locking Pillar and the Primordial Mystic Heavy Water Lock—surely an ordinary human Cultivator’s body can’t withstand those, right?"
"That human is just a little Cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt Realm. I’m afraid he won’t last long in there..."
The Bibo Sea Prison was, to be precise, beneath the sea within Sealing God Mountain.
The re thought that this place imprisoned countless Fierce Beasts and devils made Ao Qing’s dragon skin crawl.
All of them had been subdued by Immortal Bi You and locked away here.
They hadn’t been killed because so were too troubleso to deal with; they possessed imnse karma, and killing them might an bearing a significant karmic backlash.
Locked away, they were given a chance to reflect and, perhaps, reform.
Never mind a human Cultivator at the Foundation Establishnt Realm; even one at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul Level would probably shed a layer of skin if locked up in there for a few days.
"Strengthen the restrictions and suppress so of their power." Immortal Bi You paused, then continued, "Tell him I’ll give him one month. When he figures out how he wants to give that bead, let him out."
"If he can’t figure it out, unleash those Evil Beasts to temper him a bit. When he can no longer hold on, we’ll discuss it then."
"Also, go to my treasury and retrieve so Canghai Jade Dew to have ready for him. Ensure nothing happens to him, and don’t let him know about any of this."
Ao Qing, who was also outside, considered this carefully. Canghai Jade Dew... that’s the essence of water condensed in the Bibo Sea over a hundred years. A single drop can regenerate the Primordial Spirit and physical body of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
After all this... Great Immortal, it doesn’t seem like you actually want to imprison him, does it?
It feels more like you’re helping him cultivate!
