Wang Mu left the ancient land.
What could be done had been done.
With the magic of the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill, Wang Mu believed it should be able to help Gu Yuqing escape the Heavenly Demon and also gain an opportunity.
The ancient wood was very special. It was particularly useful for cultivation, especially for the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill, and it might bring about so different changes.
Of course, it did not matter whether Gu Yuqing understood what Wang Mu ant.
As long as she learned the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill, there should be no problem at all.
"Very good, very good!" In the air, Piao Miaoxu clapped her hands emphatically. "I didn’t expect that you could persuade her to switch allegiances without knowing her well."
Wang Mu shook his head and said, "She didn’t give a clear response, so I am not sure."
Piao Miaoxu pointed toward the light screen and said, "Though she didn’t answer, she made her choice through her actions."
Wang Mu looked at the screen, which showed Gu Yuqing absorbed in thought within the ancient land. Obviously, Piao Miaoxu had been watching the whole ti. Wang Mu was not surprised at all.
He watched quietly.
A mont later, Gu Yuqing moved; she gingerly gathered a drop of blood on her fingertip and let it fall onto the withered wood.
Seeing this, Piao Miaoxu laughed heartily, "Impressive, impressive!"
Suddenly, Wang Mu said, "I feel this person has an extraordinary mind; there’s a possibility she might be pretending to switch sides. Do not underestimate her, Saint."
"I have considered this," Piao Miaoxu smiled faintly, as if she had already thought of this. "But as long as she voluntarily offers her Essence Blood, allowing this ancient wood to regain vitality, then even if she’s only pretending to ally with , she won’t be able to betray once she becos the vessel for my companion."
"That’s good then."
「In the ancient land.」
"Pretending to ally with Piao Miaoxu... waiting for the right opportunity..." Gu Yuqing murmured. That person was right. A thousand years ago, he defeated Piao Miaoxu, and he could surely do so again. I just need to wait for the right opportunity. This is what I’ve co to understand—my Bright Enlightennt. It’s also the choice I must make. Even though Piao Miaoxu might control , there must be a way to break free...
Gu Yuqing’s fresh blood slowly seeped into the withered wood. Staring at this piece of ancient wood that had withstood countless years of wind and frost, she paused for a brief instant, her hand unconsciously pressing down.
Suddenly, a wondrous Cultivation Technique transferred from the withered wood into her Sea of Consciousness.
Primordial Wood Longevity Skill!
"This is..." Gu Yuqing’s heart trembled.
A Cultivation Technique? How could a technique erge from this piece of withered wood? It seems like a fortuitous encounter, but this wood is clearly devoid of consciousness. Could it be sothing passed down from the Ancient Era, just waiting for a later generation to discover it? Or perhaps, was it sothing Piao Miaoxu secretly left behind? If I cultivate it, will I be controlled by her? The last incident with the Six Desires Treasure Book was just like this.
With this in mind, Gu Yuqing continued to let her blood drip, all the while sensing the profound mysteries of this Cultivation Technique.
"It seems you have thought it through?" At the sa ti, Piao Miaoxu descended, a faint smile on her lips. "To take such initiative in rejuvenating this ancient wood, Gu Yuqing, you impress more than your Master."
Gu Yuqing gave Piao Miaoxu a cold glance.
Piao Miaoxu was unconcerned. After all, she has only just surrendered to . It’s quite normal for her not to adapt imdiately.
"Don’t worry, I won’t harm your Master," Piao Miaoxu said. "You should know who I want to deal with. Your Master is so powerful; I wouldn’t dare to confront her."
Gu Yuqing remained silent.
"With this ancient wood, I will also impart a Wonderful thod to you," Piao Miaoxu said, her eyes narrowing. "When the ti cos, you will integrate this ancient wood into your body and nurture it with this Wonderful thod. By doing so, you can attain the Great Tao."
To resurrect a Heavenly Demon, a host body must first be found. Once a host body is secured, the Heavenly Demon can be awakened using the Heavenly Demon Secret Curse and transferred into the host, marking success. If so Heavenly Demons have already reincarnated, then simply using the Secret Curse to awaken them is sufficient. The Forest Ghost, a Heavenly Demon General who would be extrely helpful for her current Cultivation, earned illustrious battle rits fighting against that Immortal long ago.
However, upon hearing Piao Miaoxu’s words, Gu Yuqing imdiately dismissed the idea that the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill was sothing Piao Miaoxu had left behind.
If she had left it, then there would be no need for her to impart another Wonderful thod to now. It’s clear she wants to control through this kind of thod again.
Gu Yuqing did not object, but her mind was racing, pondering the origin of the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill. Could it truly be a fortuitous encounter? Sothing that has existed within this piece of withered wood since the Ancient Era? But that doesn’t seem right either. According to the description of the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill, cultivating this technique requires a piece of Primordial Wood. Could this piece of withered wood actually be Primordial Wood?
Thinking this, Gu Yuqing suddenly spoke up, "Piao Miaoxu, since I have allied with you, shouldn’t you tell what exactly this thing is?"
"This is a piece of Heart Wood," Piao Miaoxu said. "The ’heart’ as in ’life.’ It’s also known as Life-killing Ancient Wood. It is one of the few Divine Woods derived from the primordial source at the dawn of heaven and earth, but it has withered away by now."
"Only the blood of soone with a Special Physique can cause it to regain vitality. Your blood can, and so can Dongfang Mu’s."
Gu Yuqing’s heart skipped a beat.
Not Primordial Wood. It’s Life-killing Ancient Wood... That ans this Cultivation Technique wasn’t inherent to the wood itself; soone must have left it there... Could it be... that man from before?
"Next, the Skill I am going to impart to you is called the Three Souls Gathering Essence thod," Piao Miaoxu said. "You will nurture this wood with your Essence Blood while simultaneously cultivating this Skill. Then, you will use this Skill to integrate your soul into the wood."
"Then, as long as this ancient wood is not destroyed, you will be able to gather your Primordial Spirit anyti and anywhere, making you virtually indestructible and immortal."
Indeed, this is a characteristic of a Heavenly Demon.
