Indeed, he had opened up another great path for himself—a sliver of Tianji. To sacrifice oneself to empower others.
"No, no..." Mo Xilan gritted her teeth. "I don’t want you to do this... Don’t you dare leave behind like this... I already know your intentions... but I will never let you do this."
Suddenly, a bright light shone from between her eyebrows, and an illusory shadow flew out from her body, taking a seat cross-legged in the void behind where the Void Girl had been. This illusory shadow, her Primordial Spirit, was covered in countless chains yet still exuded the grand aura of the Great Taoist. The Primordial Spirit hovered in the void, identical to Mo Xilan but expressionless. Imdiately afterward, the Primordial Spirit ford a spell with its hands.
"Divine Heart Fla!"
The rolling golden flas suddenly flared up even more. Following that, Mo Xilan slightly opened her mouth and exhaled a core of light engulfed in flas. This was the Heart Fla Spirit Pearl, a Divine Artifact for Ascension she had refined using the dicinal forces of countless Spiritual dicines combined with a strand of her Lifebound Fla from the Divine Heart Fla. It exuded endless dicinal power; a single strand of this power could revive the dead. Of course, for other cultivators, it would be a Supre Treasure. To her, however, it couldn’t provide much concrete help. Her original intention in creating it was to maintain her own youthful appearance and prevent Wang Mu from seeing her as an old, withered, dying person.
As soon as the Heart Fla Spirit Pearl erged, the light around her gradually dimd, and the projected Mu Lanxin also slowly reverted to its original form.
The fiercely burning Divine Heart Fla, after Wang Mu leaped into it, flared up as if fuel had been added to a fire. A peculiar desire seed to be stirred within it, and the powerful Weaving Fla, now seemingly uncontrollable, was drawn to envelop his entire body.
And at this mont, Wang Mu, who had entered the interior of the Divine Heart Fla, felt a searing pressure, as if his body were being incinerated.
He didn’t want to die. It was just that, having witnessed Mo Xilan’s thousand years of suffering and discovering her Taoist Heart was unstable and on the verge of shattering, he truly had no other choice. If her Taoist Heart broke, she might descend into madness, and he would likely not survive either. In the end, he was still done for. Since it was inevitable, he might as well choose a thod he was satisfied with. He could also take the chance to see if he could help Mo Xilan reconstruct her Taoist Heart and alleviate the pressure from those chains.
Wang Mu actually intended to use the Seven Emotions Pill Technique, combining it with his own cultivation, to refine the True Yang Star Fla into a Spirit Pill and see if it could help her, essentially using himself as the Dan. Besides, he still had several other Golden Cores; losing one wasn’t a big deal. Even if his cultivation were lost, as long as the Golden Cores remained, he could cultivate again. Of course, he had never tested this thod of using a person as a Dan. If it failed... well, then it failed.
These days, one should be nonchalant about life and death. If you can’t fight it, just let it be. If death cos, then so be it. Along the way, he had felt countless tis as if he were on the brink of life and death. He’d just consider it an unsuccessful second playthrough of a ga.
From a strategic perspective, arriving at Mo Xilan’s situation, he really didn’t have many options. The other option, as Mo Xilan had said, would be to forget the others and be with her. But in the future, he would probably inevitably have to deal with the others; sooner or later, it would lead to an ending of ’from three thousand weak waters, take only one scoop.’ That held little aning either. It was better to take a gamble, to seek life from a desperate situation.
As he activated the Seven Emotions Pill Technique, the Spiritual Power within his body began to converge frantically into the Spiritual Acupoint where the True Yang Star Fla resided. The True Yang Star Fla burned all over Wang Mu’s body. Accompanied by the external Divine Heart Fla, all his experiences and mories, including those from the ga, acted like ingredients in this self-immolation, transforming into streams of pure dicinal power.
His body began to weaken slowly. His other two Golden Cores began to furiously transfer Spiritual Power to compensate for his body’s depletion. Yet, in the end, within the Divine Heart Fla—Mo Xilan’s Life-bound True Fla—they slowly rged into the True Yang Star Fla.
Wang Mu, inside the Divine Heart Fla, closed his eyes, feeling the incineration brought by this Divine Fire. It burned not only his physical body but also his mind and spirit. The Divine Heart Fla could discern a person’s Primordial Spirit Dao Heart—their True Heart. Within the Divine Heart Fla, every living being would behold their own True Heart.
Seven figures, like images in a revolving lantern, continuously surfaced in his mind.
Is this the True Heart? Wang Mu thought. Indeed, the fact that I could co to this realm might be... because everything has a cause and effect, after all. In his first playthrough, he had achieved the Love Saint ending only because he had retried countless tis. But now, trying to achieve the Love Saint ending again seed highly unlikely.
His cultivation flowed away like a great river. As his body’s functions gradually dissipated, all rging with the True Yang Star Fla, Wang Mu could feel the dreadful nature of the Seven Emotions Pill Technique. The highest realm of this Elixir Technique must be to use the Power of Seven Emotions to refine oneself into an Elixir, thereby empowering others. Mo Xilan had never reached this realm because by then, she had already obtained the Divine Heart Fla and comprehended the Seven Emotions True Fire Dao, turning to cultivate sothing even more formidable.
It seems if it goes on like this... I really will be refined into an Elixir... The Primordial Golden Pill and the Mystic Water Golden Core within him were slowly losing their luster. His Primordial Spirit, consciousness, and mories began to dissipate. Indeed, under the Divine Heart Fla, rely trying to refine the True Yang Star Fla into a Golden Core was likely impossible.
Rembering the woman who had struggled so bitterly through a thousand years of experiences, this isn’t too bad a price to pay, Wang Mu thought. It’s just... for the others... to vanish from their lives like this... it feels a bit disheartening.
rely saving Mo Xilan was clearly an unsatisfactory outco for Wang Mu.
If only I had the strength of the Ascension Realm...
