How could one let go?
Once accustod to the power brought by Divine Sense, it was hard for anyone to give it up.
"Then you sleep on the bed; I’ll sleep on the floor."
Wang Mu summoned a straw mat and laid it on the ground.
On the bed, Heroine Yan lay silently.
The moonlight spilling in from the window cast a halo on her snow-white cheeks.
Wang Mu glanced over. He could only see the grey quilt covering the bed, its contours prominent... forming a stark contrast with Heroine Yan’s pure and stunningly beautiful visage.
For a mont, Wang Mu felt disoriented, unable to distinguish reality.
"Cold?" Heroine Yan suddenly asked.
"No..." Wang Mu began to say.
The night was icy. It was the height of winter, a ti that would definitely be cold for mortals.
Only... he had forgotten his identity. As a re mortal, he *should* be cold.
"Cold," Wang Mu said.
"Co up here," Heroine Yan said. "The chill entering your body will bring nightmares."
"This..."
Wang Mu picked up his quilt, montarily puzzled by Heroine Yan’s request.
After a mont’s thought, Wang Mu climbed onto the bed. Lifting the quilt, he found the bedding devoid of any warmth, even colder than the ground...
Ah... It wasn’t him who was cold; it must be Heroine Yan.
With both of them under two quilts, Heroine Yan said, "Enter your dreams to comprehend the sword and sense the Sword Heart. Let’s see what you can comprehend."
With a beautiful woman by his side, Wang Mu dared not make the slightest improper move. Others might see her as a re heroine, but Wang Mu wouldn’t dare.
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Wang Mu closed his eyes. A faint, alluring fragrance wafted to his nose, stirring his senses.
His Seven Emotions Sword Heart vibrated slightly, as if under considerable impact.
Before long, Wang Mu drifted into dreams.
In his dream, he was carefree and joyous, a beauty on each arm.
But soon, a streak of sword light cleaved through his reverie. He found himself practicing Sword Dao with Heroine Yan, eventually achieving comprehension and condensing a Sword Dao Golden Core.
It was a beautiful dream.
When Wang Mu awoke, he found Heroine Yan already outside the wooden house, practicing her sword.
"This Sword Dao Golden Core won’t be easy to condense, I’m afraid!" Wang Mu thought.
For the next few days, Wang Mu recuperated in Anle Village. During the day, he and Heroine Yan went out together, hunting and fishing, enjoying a very leisurely ti.
At night, they shared a pillow and slept. In his dreams, he practiced Sword Dao with Heroine Yan, making considerable progress.
It felt as if his Seven Emotions Sword Heart had condensed further. The Spiritual Energy in his Spiritual Acupoint began to converge upon the Seven Emotions Sword Heart.
It even showed signs of solidifying.
"It really is effective..."
"Practicing the sword with Heroine Yan..." Wang Mu mused thoughtfully.
"It’s ti to go," Heroine Yan said. "For your training, you cannot always stay in one place."
"Where to?" Wang Mu asked.
"Qianzhou," Heroine Yan replied. "Qianzhou has the Sword Sect, with many cultivators who practice the sword. Witnessing their skills could be of great help to you in condensing your Sword Dao Golden Core."
So, the two set off, proceeding on foot.
「After a month’s journey, they reached the borders of Qianzhou.」
Arriving there, Wang Mu felt a surge of emotion and subconsciously checked for an opportunity to Travel.
[Travel: Outside the Heavenly Control Workshop(!)]
"There really is a Travel event..." Wang Mu thought. The last ti he Traveled with Mu Hongyuan, it was also triggered at Qianzhou’s Heavenly Control Workshop, and he had obtained a Heroic Couple Immortal Flying Skirt. He hadn’t expected another Travel opportunity this ti. Outside... that ans outside the city! Not within it!
Wang Mu imdiately expended Action Points and headed towards the destination with Heroine Yan.
Approaching the outskirts of the Heavenly Control Workshop, they encountered two late-stage Golden Core Demon Cultivators robbing an Artifact Refiner. After confirming the auras of both parties, Wang Mu imdiately took action, repelling the two Demon Cultivators and saving the Artifact Refiner.
Then, the Artifact Refiner, who seed to recognize Wang Mu at a glance, asked, "Are you Wang Mu?"
"Have you seen before?" Wang Mu asked in surprise.
"You seem to have forgotten..." The Artifact Refiner appeared sowhat aged, his expression slightly dazed.
But judging by his bearing, he should hold a high status. Logically, an Artifact Refiner of standing in Qianzhou, even if not strong in combat himself, would have several formidable Cultivators as protectors. To be robbed by Demon Cultivators... he must have encountered so unusual circumstances.
"Do you still rember that Flying Immortal Dress?" the Artifact Refiner asked.
"The Flying Immortal Dress?" Heroine Yan glanced at Wang Mu.
Wang Mu’s eyelids twitched; he did rember.
"You are..."
"My na is Yun Canglang," the Artifact Refiner said with a self-deprecating smile. "I used to be the most formidable Artifact Refiner of the Heavenly Communication Treasure Pavilion. I’ve crafted Taoist Spiritual Artifacts, and even Immortal Spiritual Artifacts weren’t beyond my reach."
"You..." Wang Mu was greatly surprised, despite having ntally prepared himself.
"A few years ago, a Heroic Couple Immortal Flying Skirt I had placed for auction at the Heavenly Control Workshop was bought," Yun Canglang said. "That Tao Artifact was sothing I poured my heart and soul into refining for my beloved woman... unfortunately..."
He shook his head. "Later, I listed it at the Heavenly Control Workshop with strict conditions: one had to personally go to Holy Mountain and cut off a branch of the Green Blood Fla Spirit Tree to exchange for it.
"I had it listed for many years, and eventually heard it was acquired by a Cultivator nad Wang Mu. I was very curious at the ti.
"Later, I heard that the top ranker on this realm’s Heavenly Pride list was also a Cultivator nad Wang Mu. I found a portrait, saw it was you, and recognized you.
"I never expected to et you here today."
At this point, Yun Canglang smiled and said, "Back then, with a cultivation not even at the Golden Core realm, you dared to go to Holy Mountain and cut down a branch of the Green Blood Fla Spirit Tree in exchange for that Heroic Couple Immortal Flying Skirt. It must have been for a beloved woman, right?"
As he spoke, Yun Canglang glanced at Heroine Yan beside Wang Mu, slightly surprised. "Could it be for this lady?"
