Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 737: Only One Sword Needed
Chapter 737: Only One Sword Needed
Wang Dagen considered himself a man who had seen the world.
But he never imagined such words would come from a cultivator of Li Qingran's status. This woman was the top of the Beauty Ranking. If those cultivators who studied the ranking day and night knew about this, their jaws would probably drop...
After all, the label they gave Li Qingran was—Aloof Immortal Maiden.
An Aloof Immortal Maiden wanting to tour the Bliss Sect's historical culture?
Ridiculous!
Nevertheless, Wang Dagen still took off his Sect Master token and handed it to Li Qingran.
He was now basically certain that Li Qingran and Chen Huaian had something going on.
He had sensed something was off a long time ago.
Now that he knew, it was even more important to act like he didn't.
Speak less, do more, keep his mouth shut, otherwise his little life might be in danger.
"Sect Master Li, follow this small path straight ahead, and you'll reach our sect's newly built Scripture Chamber. The Alchemy Pavilion is right behind the Scripture Chamber." Wang Dagen pointed the way for Li Qingran, then lowered his voice:
"You have the Sect Master token, you can access the secret chambers in the Scripture Chamber and the Alchemy Pavilion. There are truly good things inside, and also some little trinkets this old man refined when he had nothing better to do. You understand?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingran's eyes lit up, and she gave Wang Dagen a thumbs-up.
"Understood!"
With that, she took the Sect Master token and ran "clip-clop, clip-clop" towards the direction of the Scripture Chamber.
Wang Dagen shook his head, watching Li Qingran's graceful back as he sighed repeatedly: "The Moon Shadow Sect's ancestor sure eats well... What a pity, Sect Master Li is still so young, sigh~"
Su Qinian returned to the Moon Shadow Sect all the way.
He found Chen Huaian, but before he could even open his mouth to speak.
A sword was thrown in front of him.
"Huh?" Su Qinian was stunned, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
"Come, spar with This Venerable One." Chen Huaian opened his eyes, looking at Su Qinian indifferently.
"Spar? With you?" Su Qinian pointed at himself, "Me?"
"Correct." Chen Huaian nodded.
"Ancestor, if you're displeased with me, you can say it straight. No need to beat around the bush like this." Su Qinian forced a strained smile onto his face, "If I've offended you in any way, it can all be made up for..."
"You have not offended This Venerable One in any way." Chen Huaian was already getting a bit impatient with Su Qinian's excessive chatter: "Can't you see This Venerable One has suppressed his cultivation to the early Unity Realm? I heard your power has surged recently, breaking through all the way to the peak of the Unity Realm. This Venerable One fears your breakthrough was too fast, leaving your realm unstable. Today, I've specially come to help you consolidate your cultivation!"
"Consolidate my cultivation? No... that's not necessary..."
Su Qinian was a bit scared.
He felt his realm was already quite consolidated.
Recently, while cultivating that Heavenly Demon Art, he originally just wanted to strengthen his physique and improve his combat prowess when spending time with his white moonlight. He never expected that once he started cultivating it, it was incredible. His entire body's bones and muscles seemed to be reborn, and the bottleneck that had stagnated for a long time also loosened.
He simply went all out in one go, breaking through all the way.
Perhaps due to accumulated potential finally erupting, his realm broke through all the way to the peak of the Unity Realm before stopping. One more step forward, and his position as Supreme Elder would be truly well-deserved.
With the Heavenly Demon Art as his foundation, his realm was extremely stable.
Mainly, he didn't think he could defeat the ancestor whose cultivation was suppressed to the early Unity Realm.
He didn't want to get beaten to a pulp...
"If you spar with This Venerable One, This Venerable One will buy you the latest model washing machine."
As soon as Chen Huaian finished speaking, Su Qinian's eyes immediately lit up: "Ancestor, you... you mean it?!"
Chen Huaian directly slapped a home appliance supermarket flyer onto Su Qinian's face:
"Would This Venerable One lie? You fight This Venerable One once, and you can pick any washing machine on there!"
Su Qinian looked at the washing machines on the flyer. Various brands, various shapes, various functions, a dazzling array.
These things might hold little attraction for other cultivators, but for Su Qinian, it was like a sword cultivator arriving at the Sword Tomb. His gaze instantly couldn't be pulled away.
So what if he was going to get beaten to a pulp by the ancestor?!
For a better, bigger, more practical magical artifact, he would accept this sparring session!
Su Qinian solemnly placed that Lejia Home Appliance Supermarket flyer into his storage ring. He stood up, straightened his back, and cupped his hands towards Chen Huaian: "Ancestor, this junior boldly dares to battle the ancestor today. I hope the ancestor will be merciful and not... aiyah!"
Before he could finish, Chen Huaian, already impatient, drew his sword and rose.
Without using any sword move, the Black Scales Sword emerged like a black dragon from its sheath, its point aimed at Su Qinian.
Before the sword arrived, a piercingly cold Sword Intent had already locked onto Su Qinian first.
Su Qinian's pupils contracted, feeling as if his soul was about to be torn apart by the oncoming Sword Intent.
Not just his soul, even the surrounding air and space were fracturing inch by inch under Chen Huaian's Sword Intent.
He saw before his eyes, the sunlight streaming in from the window abruptly breaking and twisting.
In that instant, the sword light had arrived without a sound.
"Ah—!" A strong sense of crisis made Su Qinian instinctively draw his sword, his Black Tortoise Sword Intent as heavy as a mountain collapsing.
The moment his Sword Intent erupted, the cave dwelling that should have been shattered by the Sword Intent remained completely motionless, as if pressed down by an invisible giant hand.
The sword light, blazing like raging flames, collided with Chen Huaian's Sword Qi.
*Clang—!*
His proud Black Tortoise Sword Intent disintegrated in an instant.
That violent, wave-like Sword Qi seemed to crash into a hard wall full of holes, rapidly being divided, extinguished, and vanishing without a trace.
By the time Su Qinian wanted to pursue with another sword strike.
A figure was already standing before him, a cold sword resting horizontally against his neck.
Su Qinian took a deep breath, his body stopping in place, frozen stiff.
"Breaking through multiple realms in a short time really isn't that great, is it? So this is the peak of the Unity Realm? A bit disappointing."
Chen Huaian sheathed his sword and stood before Su Qinian, his expression cold.
Su Qinian lowered his Black Tortoise Sword. In his dazed state, his heart was filled with nothing but dejection.
He thought of many reasons, like the ancestor being a Great Ascension Stage cultivator himself, the ancestor's Sword Intent reaching profound levels, already touching the realm of the Dao.
But... there was one point he had to admit.
—The ancestor had indeed only used cultivation at the early Unity Realm.
Even if the ancestor's understanding of the sword was stronger than his, there was still a full three minor realms difference between them.
Moreover, the gap between each minor realm within the Unity Realm could be described as a chasm.
Suppressing the ancestor by three chasms, he was still defeated by the ancestor with a single sword.
At this moment, Su Qinian felt as if his several thousand years of cultivation had gone to the dogs.
The cockiness and excitement from his consecutive breakthroughs over the past period were also like flames doused with cold water, completely extinguished.
"Ancestor, this junior is defeated." Su Qinian cupped his hands towards Chen Huaian, a bitter taste in his mouth: "This junior has been a bit carried away with himself recently.
Fortunately, the ancestor intervened in time to wake this junior up. Otherwise, this junior wouldn't know how much time he would have wasted...
No need to say more. This junior will go into closed-door cultivation immediately!"
On the surface, Chen Huaian maintained a cold demeanor, but inwardly, he was already overjoyed.
Especially seeing Su Qinian looking like a primary school student scolded by the head teacher.
So this is what it feels like to be a senior in the sect?
It feels pretty damn good!
But what surprised Chen Huaian even more was.
Even at just the early Unity Realm, he could already steadily suppress Su Qinian at the peak of the Unity Realm.
One must know that among Unity Realm cultivators, Su Qinian was not some worthless nobody, but a being whose combat power stood in the first tier.
So, using Su Qinian as a unit of measurement.
His current strength was roughly equivalent to ten Su Qinians?
