Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 693: Old Devil Xiao Knows Everything

Chapter 693: Old Devil Xiao Knows Everything

...

The sect's spirit gathering great formation was channeling some spiritual energy into the earth veins.

Chen Huaian didn't know about this matter.

Even if he knew, he would probably consider it unimportant.

The earth veins beneath Moon Shadow Sect carried the sect's fortune and destiny - strengthening these earth veins could only benefit Moon Shadow Sect with no downsides. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

As for this spiritual energy flowing along the earth veins to other parts of Cangyun Realm, he didn't see any problem with that either.

Hadn't everyone been saying that Cangyun Realm's resources were depleted?

Consider it benefiting the entire Cangyun Realm. After all, Moon Shadow Sect was already close to dominating the whole realm, and integrating other sects was just a matter of time.

Wouldn't it be a good thing if everyone had spiritual energy to cultivate, spirit stones to use, and could all grow stronger together?

"However, with such huge commotion in the sect, why hasn't Old Demon Xiao shown up?"

Chen Huaian scratched his head, realizing it had been quite a while since he last saw Old Demon Xiao, who was in closed-door cultivation.

With Old Demon Xiao's Great Ascension Stage cultivation level and his original mastery of the Heavenly Demon Art, switching to the modified version should be effortless - practically a painless transition. While ordinary cultivators might need one or two years to adapt, for Old Demon Xiao it would probably take less than a month.

Chen Huaian flashed into the small wooden hut in the Bamboo Sea but didn't see Old Demon Xiao's figure.

In the adjacent room, Young Master Yinyu was still in seclusion, showing no reaction to either Old Demon Xiao's departure or Chen Huaian's arrival. Young Master Yinyu had completely lost his previous delicate and feminine appearance - after cultivating the modified Heavenly Demon Art, his physique had become extraordinarily imposing and majestic.

Chen Huaian casually glanced around and finally found a jade slip left by Old Demon Xiao on a table in the inner room.

[...Elder brother, the blockade of heavenly and earthly rules has undergone changes. This younger brother will first scout the immortal path for you!]

There was an additional restriction layer inside the jade slip.

It contained information that only Chen Huaian could read.

He channeled a trace of divine sense into it, and immediately a message emerged that made his scalp tingle:

[Fellow Daoist Chen, to be honest, this younger brother knows that you are not my true elder brother. On the day the heavenly rules changed, celestial secrets were revealed, and this old man came to understand everything... But if not for you, perhaps I would still be drowning in guilt over the past.]

[Therefore, this old man is willing to believe that you are connected to my elder brother - perhaps it was his dying wish that brought you here to help resolve the knots in my heart!]

[Hehehe! Please don't worry, elder brother. If the Immortal Realm truly proves as wonderful as imagined, you can follow up later!]

...

"Holy beans!" Chen Huaian felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Old Demon Xiao already knew.

And Old Demon Xiao had found out while he wasn't even in Cangyun Realm.

Thr... thrilling!

Fortunately, during the time he had been playing the role of Old Demon Xiao's elder brother, he had treated Old Demon Xiao with complete sincerity, genuinely cultivating Old Demon Xiao as his own younger brother.

He had provided all the resources Old Demon Xiao needed.

Whenever Old Demon Xiao had questions about the modified Heavenly Demon Art, he had patiently explained using the system's copied responses...

One could only say that sometimes the most unexpected efforts bear fruit.

If during this period he had shown even the slightest intention of using Old Demon Xiao, Moon Shadow Sect would probably have faced catastrophe.

"However... the suppression of heavenly rules against Great Ascension Stage cultivators has weakened? Can the old monsters in the Void Abyss achieve immortality now?" Chen Huaian frowned and hissed through his teeth, feeling that something wasn't quite right but unable to pinpoint exactly what.

When things go abnormal, there must be some trickery involved.

He would have to wait until a Great Ascension Stage cultivator underwent tribulation to see what was really happening.

If Old Demon Xiao became the first to face tribulation and the heavenly tribulation's power remained intense, he might still be able to rescue him.

...

Cangyun Realm, Immortal Realm.

"The depleted spiritual energy of Cangyun Realm actually shows signs of recovery?"

Real Person Jade Compassion, who had been continuously observing Cangyun Realm's spiritual energy situation, opened her eyes, her heart suddenly jolting with shock.

She suddenly recalled her recent conversation with the Sword Bearer.

The Sword Bearer had said he could reduce the power of heavenly tribulation, giving those Great Ascension Stage cultivators some opportunity to achieve immortality.

Rather than completely blocking the path to immortality.

She had initially thought the Sword Bearer was setting up some kind of trap, but he had insisted that Cangyun Realm's resources would soon stop depleting.

She hadn't even taken his words seriously, yet such a thing was actually happening!

"The source of spiritual energy recovery is... Moon Shadow Sect!" Real Person Jade Compassion finished her calculations, the shock in her eyes gradually subsiding.

She roughly understood the situation now.

The Sword Bearer looked exactly like Chen Huaian.

There was some mysterious connection between these two.

And the resurgence of Cangyun Realm's resources was beginning from Chen Huaian's Moon Shadow Sect.

If she claimed this matter had nothing to do with the Sword Bearer, she simply couldn't believe it!

Plus the fact that Chen Huaian wasn't from this world...

"The Sword Bearer has already started using Chen Huaian to plunder resources from another world." Real Person Jade Compassion narrowed her eyes.

She had figured it out.

No wonder the reviving spiritual energy felt somewhat different from Cangyun Realm's original spiritual energy.

It needed to be filtered and refined by the earth veins before being distributed throughout Cangyun Realm.

To put it bluntly, the resources generating this spiritual energy fundamentally weren't from Cangyun Realm.

This way, everything made sense.

But there was still one point that Real Person Jade Compassion couldn't understand.

"Since the Sword Bearer can already plunder resources from another world through Chen Huaian, he could completely use that world as Cangyun Realm's strategic rear. Why must he merge them? Merging means war, and the Sword Bearer allowing immortals to emerge is probably for the eventual clash between the top forces of both worlds during the fusion."

"Jade Compassion, I didn't lie to you, did I." An indifferent voice appeared behind Real Person Jade Compassion.

Startled, Real Person Jade Compassion hiccuped and immediately stood at attention.

"Don't waste time. Release the blockade of heavenly rules now." White Sword glanced at Real Person Jade Compassion's tense pretty face and said indifferently: "The previous heavenly tribulation power was too strong. Reduce it by half."

He tossed a golden sphere to Real Person Jade Compassion.

Real Person Jade Compassion instinctively caught the golden sphere and looked closely, only to discover it was a large golden eyeball.

The large eyeball contained the heavenly dao's pressure that made her soul tremble. Vaguely, Real Person Jade Compassion had a premonition.

This large eyeball staring at her with indifferent eyes was the embodiment of Cangyun Realm's heavenly dao will.

She instinctively shivered.

—Had the Sword Bearer already gained such control over the heavenly dao?

Even refining the heavenly dao into this eyeball, and... tossing it around so casually?

Then... then exactly how powerful was he?!

Real Person Jade Compassion held the large eyeball, feeling like she was holding a hot potato - she couldn't comfortably keep it nor throw it away.

"By the way." White Sword paused slightly as he turned to leave, pondering: "There's a fox who has killed too many lives, accumulating karmic debt. She will face heavenly tribulation with thousands of times the normal power, with almost no chance of survival... When she undergoes tribulation, keep an eye on her. Administer punishment but don't let the heavenly tribulation strike her dead."

Real Person Jade Compassion blinked: "What, is she your lover?"

White Sword's body stiffened for a moment before he turned and left.

Only two icy words drifted from afar.

"Too talkative!"
