After all emotions were severed, even this rumor could be disregarded, simply passed over.

"Is there more?" Wang Mu asked. "Are there any rumors related to the Bibo Sea?"

"There actually is one."

The Vulture Clan cultivator smiled and said, "This rumor is one of the most widely circulated stories recently. Our Qingqiu City is protected by Qingqiu Mountain, and this rumor is related to Qingqiu Mountain."

"Qingqiu Mountain is home to an ancient clan known as the Green Fox."

"The Green Fox Clan on Qingqiu Mountain serves as the guardians of Ling Province's oldest and most legendary Heaven and Earth Divine Tree, the Changqing Tree."

"It is said that during the cosmic changes, roughly in the region of Qingqiu Mountain, this Divine Tree bathed in heavenly divine light and received a strange Zhou Tian divine light, transforming it into the Changqing Tree."

"It is said: 'Under the Changqing Tree, a thousand connections are made, difficult to separate in this life or the next.'"

The Vulture Clan cultivator explained, "Many cultivators who have attended the Magpie Bridge Festival and become Taoist couples often take the opportunity to visit the Changqing Tree on Qingqiu Mountain to pledge their romantic destiny. With this bond in place, even if one of them meets with misfortune, their life ends and their Dao is extinguished, their reincarnated self will still retain this romantic destiny. They can then locate their counterpart's reincarnated soul through the Long Love Seal on their body."

"Thus, they can rekindle their past connection, remaining inseparable through this life and the next."

Wang Mu was slightly taken aback. That Rebirth Mirror of the Creation Gate... it's said that viewing a person's myriad past life experiences requires immense power. It can also determine marital destinies for this life.

"And this Changqing Tree is a karmic Divine Tree formed to preserve these marital bonds," said the cultivator from the Vulture Clan. "Usually, after the Magpie Bridge Festival, Qingqiu Mountain will open its gates within a year or two, inviting Taoist couples from various places to come under the Changqing Tree to pledge their romantic destiny."

Wang Mu thought for a moment, then asked, "What does this have to do with the Bibo Sea?"

"Naturally, there is a connection," the Vulture Clan cultivator said. "The connection is quite profound. The Changqing Tree grew by absorbing the essence of the Bibo Sea. Cultivator couples who pledge their romantic destiny under it will receive a Blue Sea Tide romantic destiny blessing."

"With this blessing, they can venture into the Biyou Sea to seek various exotic treasures. They won't be suppressed by its powerful rules, nor will they be attacked by the countless sea beasts within. Even if they encounter combat, their own strength will increase to a certain extent."

"If they can find the legendary Sealing God Mountain and, after enduring great trials to reach its summit, they could receive guidance from Immortal Bi You, who is spoken of in Ling Province legends," the Vulture Clan cultivator said respectfully. "She is one of the most powerful Great Cultivators in the Nine Provinces in the Ascension Realm. Even a few casual pointers from her would be enough for Nascent Soul or even Divinity Transformation Level cultivators to break through their bottlenecks. If she were to bestow some gift... that would truly be soaring to the heavens."

Wang Mu was speechless for a moment. Is it really that difficult? I obtained the Emperor Spirit Pearl; do I really have to go to such great lengths to return it to her?

Wang Mu frowned slightly. I already obtained this Emperor Spirit Pearl from Mo Xilan... Can't she sense it? Can't she come and retrieve it herself?

This is Nanrong Biyou's divine artifact. Logically, it should have a strong connection to her.

Previously, Mo Xilan had placed it on Seven Emotions Island, so it's understandable that Nanrong Biyou couldn't retrieve it. Now that I have it and have been transported right into the territory of Ling Province, won't she come to get it herself?

Suddenly, Wang Mu recalled a scene he had encountered during the Seven Emotions trial on Seven Emotions Island... Could it be that something has happened to her?

Wang Mu shook his head.

Perhaps because he had lost his emotions, he felt almost nothing in his heart.

In the past, Wang Mu had felt both affection and fear towards these heroines from a thousand years in the future. He naturally felt affection, but he also naturally feared being harmed by them. Thus, while he liked them, he kept a respectful distance.

Now, with the Seven Emotions Sword Heart, the affection was gone, and so was the fear of being harmed. The feeling was very subtle...

Having heard enough rumors, Wang Mu decided to set off. He would first visit the Fetal Breath Spring to see if there were any fish to catch.

The journey spanned thousands of miles. At Wang Mu's current Sword Control speed, he arrived within a few days.

The Fetal Breath Spring was a Spirit Spring. Though called a spring, "lake" would be a more accurate description, as it was tremendously large.

When he arrived, the vicinity was already surrounded by members of the Giant Statue Ancient Clan.

The Giant Statue Ancient Clan, also known as the Ancient Image Clan, were a unique people. Its members were burly, their muscles as solid as rock, and they were Mountain Spirits who walked the lands of Ling Province.

As Wang Mu flew mid-air using Sword Control, a member of the Ancient Image Clan, four meters tall and resembling a giant, intercepted him. "Halt, you fishermen from the Outer Continent who seek to damage the Fetal Breath Spring!"

Wang Mu was taken aback. I haven't even started fishing yet! Where does this accusation of causing damage come from?

"Fellow Daoist... has the Fetal Breath Spring been sealed off?" Wang Mu paused, looking at the giant.

The Fetal Breath Spring was just ahead; it was clearly a special fishing spot.

"Hmph, nonsense! It's all because you fishermen recklessly trespass in the Fetal Breath Spring!" the Ancient Image Clan member rebuked sharply. "This is the ancient spring that nurtures our lives! It doesn't contain the kind of Divine Fish you're looking for. Leave this place at once! Otherwise, don't blame us for being inhospitable!"

Wang Mu understood at once that a special method was likely required to enter.

An ancient spring that nurtures life...

Wang Mu glanced over. The water of the Fetal Breath Spring seemed alive, leaping as if it were sentient. It was unlike ordinary water and quite unique.

Wang Mu thought for a moment, then suddenly took out the other Marriage Fish God he had caught in the Linglong Love Abyss, saying, "Fellow Daoist of the Ancient Image Clan, I am a cultivator from an Outer Continent. I had no intention of intruding and meant no offense. Please accept this item as an apology."
