Transmigration After Becoming Love Saint

Chapter 789 - 249 Hurry, Saint!

The fishing rod was still the same, but the Divine Fish was no longer the one from those years ago.

Wang Mu pulled the fishing rod, alternating between heavy and light tugs, his thoughts seemingly traveling back to the time when he had caught the Linglong Bilateral Fish.

But now things were different.

His fishing skills had improved beyond compare since then.

However, for some reason, he found it quite challenging to reel in his catch.

The Divine Fish back then had bitten the hook on its own accord.

This rumored Immortal Spirit Fish, on the other hand, was one he had learned of through his travels.

It could be considered his true catch.

A Divine Fish is nothing ordinary and often embodies certain rules and principles of the Cultivation World. Aside from a certain level of fishing skill, it also requires a bit of fate and fortune to catch one.

Wang Mu gazed at the Immortal Spirit Fish that radiated with a pure luster.

It bore a thirty to forty percent resemblance to the Jinlong Carp he had previously encountered, but it was far more beautiful. This led Wang Mu to wonder if that Jinlong Carp he caught in Anle Village had transformed into a dragon as the legends told.

The fish’s pure white body had scales marked with special patterns that seemed to be etched with the simplicity of the Great Taoist principles.

As soon as the fish emerged from the water, a natural rosy glow shone for thousands of miles, golden light spread across the Heavenly Vault, and Spiritual Energy burst forth like a surging tide.

Wang Mu sensed an immensely powerful energy.

It reminded him of when Heroine Yan was Crossing Tribulation, and the light that fell from the Heavenly Gate.

"Immortal Spirit Qi..."

With a loud cry, the Immortal Cloud Kun exclaimed, "It truly is an Immortal Spirit Fish! A Divine Fish containing Immortal Spirit Qi! Consuming a single one in the Upper Realm Tianhe can increase Immortal Essence by a hundred years and transform one’s body into an Outer World Immortal Body! Give it to me, give it to me!"

The Kun then let out a soft, yearning sound. Ooh, if only I could swallow one...

"..." Wang Mu.

The Immortal Cloud Kun was drooling from its wide mouth.

And it wasn’t just the Kun.

Eyes converged from all around; every cultivator was attracted by the miraculous sight, knowing without a doubt that a Divine Fish had made its appearance.

Among the many cultivators, one gaze was particularly inscrutable, directed at Wang Mu.

"Brother Wang... we shouldn’t stay here too long," Gu Yuqing spoke softly from the side.

Her current realm was at the peak of God Transformation. Especially after cultivating the skill Piao Miaoxu had given her, her body had undergone subtle changes, and her awareness of cultivators who vastly exceeded her own realm in strength was incredibly sharp.

She noticed a very unique gaze. It’s possible there’s a cultivator here who has surpassed even Crossing Tribulation.

The Divine Fish had always been just a rumor in Ruoshui Pond.

This rumor had actually been started by the Heavenly Water Sect to build their reputation, because no one had ever reportedly caught one before.

Only the Heavenly Water Sect claimed that its founding ancestor had been fortunate enough to see one, though he never managed to catch it.

Even as a mere rumor, it was enough to skyrocket the fame of the Heavenly Water Sect.

If a Divine Fish truly appeared, it was hard to imagine the level of strife that might ensue.

After all, this wasn’t some ordinary species of fish.

It was a Supreme Treasure containing Immortal Spirit Qi, capable of allowing countless cultivators to avoid Heavenly Tribulation and transcend their mortal limits to achieve Ascension.

Not to mention, the current surge of Immortal Spirit Qi...

With just a light whiff, Wang Mu could feel his Life Force significantly replenished, and the Power of Primordial Wood within him seemed to activate, beginning to circulate.

As expected of a Divine Fish, just a sniff is enough for Cultivation... Wang Mu thought to himself.

Of course, this was also thanks to his experiences over these past few days.

If one were to consume it...

Speaking of which, how exactly does eating a Divine Fish help one avoid Heavenly Tribulation?

What is the origin of this rumor?

Wang Mu didn’t quite understand and remained skeptical about this Divine Fish.

After all, it was only meant to draw the attention of that Immortal official.

"Leave, of course we must leave."

Wang Mu nodded and patted the Immortal Cloud Kun, signaling it to leave the area.

But the next moment, as the Immortal Cloud Kun flapped its wings, the space around them remained as still as a stagnant pool, absolutely still.

[Moon God: You’re in big trouble now, Yan De Immortal Official has noticed you! Quick, take out your Magic Treasure, or you’ll be done for in the next second!]

The message from the Divine Light Mirror came through his Sea of Consciousness.

Wang Mu looked around, only to see everything around him swiftly disappearing.

Even Gu Yuqing beside him was gone.

Only the Immortal Cloud Kun remained beneath his feet.

A figure appeared ahead, holding a fishing rod, sitting alone to one side. He wore a straw raincoat and a hat, fishing in solitude.

The face was indiscernible, yet Wang Mu knew this had to be the Qianmo Immortal Official. He had indeed long heard of his reputation.

Looking at the back, Wang Mu felt a sense of familiarity, as if he were looking at a senior brother from his own sect.

Considering this was an Immortal official from the Upper Realm...

Wang Mu fondled the Wealth Cat pendant at his waist and asked, "Senior, what is the meaning of this?"

"I have fished here for hundreds of days and nights..." The figure stood up, speaking slowly. "And I have yet to see even a glimpse of the Divine Fish. You, on the other hand, have only fished here for three days... and yet you have managed to catch this fish."

"..." Wang Mu.

Had this person actually been fishing here for so long? Why hadn’t he simply turned Ruoshui Pond upside down? Wang Mu thought to himself. You’ve truly had a hard time.

"This is Immortal Fate..." the figure sighed lightly. "I don’t wish to make things difficult for you. I am willing to trade a Treasure for the Divine Fish. This Treasure will be more useful to you than the Divine Fish."

""Oh?"" Wang Mu asked, continuing to fiddle with the Wealth Cat pendant at his waist.

It was said to be a trade, but Wang Mu felt a sense of pressure. If he refused, he might be finished in the next second.

Of course, as an Immortal official from the Upper Realm, being willing to trade with a Lower Realm cultivator was already quite lenient—certainly more so than that Ancient Dragon who outright deceived the Dragon Clan in the sea to seize their Qi Fortune.

"Senior, you come from the Upper Realm," Wang Mu suddenly asked. "Aren’t you afraid of violating the Immortal rules?"

"Hmm?" The figure’s tone lifted, seemingly surprised. "You seem to know quite a bit... Who are you?"
