Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 757: Canglan

Chapter 757: Canglan

The lead-gray sky above was draped with countless golden rays of light like curtains.

Several beams of light tore through the cloud layers, precisely enveloping the ruins of the dimensional gate.

Within the light beams, countless profound runes floated and rotated, emitting vast fluctuations of law.

Further away, phantom images of dragons and phoenixes circled with long cries, celestial music drifted faintly, and golden lotuses surged from the ground.

The entire sky seemed to transform into a boiling sea of light.

Boom—!

A dull rumble came from deep within the earth.

Wrapped in endless radiance, the wreckage of the dimensional gate ruins actually floated into the air on its own, reassembling as if time were flowing backward.

"The dimensional gate is being repaired?!" Su Qinian pointed at the gate, dumbfounded.

Could this thing repair itself?

But why now, of all times? Not earlier, not later, but precisely when they had brought Li Qingran here.

Was someone secretly helping them?

Zhang Mengchu was also puzzled in his heart, but he soon found an answer.

At the apex of this earth-shattering spectacle, amidst the endless churning clouds and mist, a faint, illusory human figure was vaguely outlined.

The figure sat cross-legged, dressed in white robes, its face unclear.

Before it was a Go board, and it held and placed pieces. Each move of a piece triggered the mountain and river formation patterns below to flicker on and off, creating a myriad of magnificent phenomena.

"Heaven and earth as the chessboard... what, what kind of mighty power is this?!" Su Qinian watched, his heart stirred, murmuring to himself. He focused his gaze on the illusory figure in the clouds. Though blurry, that silhouette... "Elder Zhang, look at that... doesn't it look like the ancestor?!"

Zhang Mengchu's pupils contracted sharply, his breathing becoming rapid. "It does! It looks exactly like him! It must be that the ancestor sensed your resolve, Sect Master, and descended to assist with his divine ability!"

"Hah! I told you the ancestor was fine, didn't I? Who looks rosy-cheeked and full of vigor when they're seriously injured?" Su Qinian shrugged, feeling relieved in his heart. "Looking at the ancestor's condition before, it was clearly backlash from a divine ability. I bet that demon immortal is still searching the world for the ancestor's trail, completely unaware that the ancestor has long since performed the Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell maneuver."

One could only say Su Qinian was indeed experienced. His guess about Chen Huaian's situation was already eighty to ninety percent accurate.

However, Li Qingran slightly furrowed her beautiful brows.

Gazing up at the magnificent spectacle, a trace of doubt flickered in her clear eyes.

The aura of that illusory figure in the clouds was vast and ancient, carrying a Heavenly Dao-like indifference... completely different from her master's aura.

But this doubt was soon washed away by the reborn dimensional gate before her.

Regardless of whether the chess player in the clouds was her master or not...

The dimensional gate was repaired, and she could go to the small thousand world for training!

But definitely not right now.

She only had a sword with her and was thoroughly chilled by the bitter winds of the extreme north.

Entering a small thousand world in this state would be disastrous if she encountered danger.

She needed to bring at least some life-preserving treasures.

"Two elders, let's go back first," Li Qingran said to Su Qinian and Zhang Mengchu. "Master's body has not yet recovered. As a disciple, I cannot leave my master, nor can I depart without saying goodbye. Once master's injuries have healed, I will make some preparations and then go to the small thousand world for training."

Li Qingran's arrangement was exactly what Su Qinian and Zhang Mengchu wanted to see.

They were truly afraid that Li Qingran, seeing the dimensional gate repaired, would simply enter it directly.

"Sect Master, you and Elder Su go back first. This old man will go to the dimensional gate to check the situation and will catch up soon," Zhang Mengchu cupped his hands and said solemnly.

Although the dimensional gate was repaired, it had not yet been explored. Since Li Qingran was going to train in a small thousand world, he needed to ensure the gate could actually be used normally.

"Heh, Elder Zhang, don't get tempted and run off to the small thousand world yourself~" Su Qinian teased.

"This old man now has two fresh and juicy disciples and has long lost interest in small thousand worlds," Zhang Mengchu stroked his beard, replying with an air of nonchalance and a hint of sarcasm. "Unlike a certain elder, who only finds some temperamental, aging beauties, having to humble himself and act subservient all day long. Truly unpleasant!"

Su Qinian: "..."

What aging beauties!

In the cultivation world, what concept of age is there?

His white moonlight figures were a bit older, but they were still quite tender, okay?

Since they couldn't see eye to eye, they split up.

Zhang Mengchu cautiously walked to the dimensional gate.

Afraid that with one misstep, he might be teleported away by the gate.

Going to a small thousand world was simple; returning to the great thousand world was difficult.

Each world had its own Heavenly Dao. To return to the great thousand world, one had to outwit the Heavenly Dao of the small thousand world.

Some small thousand worlds had immortals present. If they discovered travelers from the great thousand world, they might even chase and kill them.

Some small thousand worlds had not yet given birth to immortals, with the strongest beings being at the Great Ascension or Void Shattering stage—these small thousand worlds were the friendliest. To protect the stability of the small thousand world, once travelers from the great thousand world were discovered, the Heavenly Dao of that world would actively expel them back to the great thousand world.

Zhang Mengchu reached out and touched the dimensional gate.

In his era of traveling through small thousand worlds, touching a dimensional gate would reveal the countless small thousand worlds within the starry sea.

That was the peak period of Cangyun.

Going to a small thousand world was just a matter of a single thought.

But now, the vast starry sea transmitted to his mind had only one bright star remaining, connected by a subtle and profound line—this didn't mean the other small thousand worlds had been destroyed.

It meant only this lit-up small thousand world still maintained a connection with Cangyun, allowing teleportation through the dimensional gate.

"Canglan Realm? Never heard of it..."

Zhang Mengchu frowned.

His original idea was to pre-select a suitable small thousand world for Li Qingran's training. After all, he had traveled to many worlds and was relatively familiar with some popular small thousand worlds.

But now, the world connected by the dimensional gate was a place he didn't know or understand.

No one knew the combat power level of that world.

Whether there were cultivators, or if it was a dead land...

However, judging by the surface appearance of Canglan Realm, it had mountains and water, lush and verdant. At the very least, it seemed a thriving world. Even if there were no cultivators, there were probably mortals active.

It seemed... he couldn't sense any spiritual energy...

Uh...

Zhang Mengchu fell silent for a moment.

Going to such a world would make it almost impossible to improve one's strength. One could only experience mortal life and worldly affairs to cultivate a stronger state of mind.

That sounded rather mediocre.

But it had the advantage of being safe.

He temporarily set his mind at ease.

Canglan it is, then. It shouldn't be a big problem.

...

Meanwhile.

Moon Shadow Sect.

[An appropriate small thousand world has been matched for your electronic girlfriend!]

[Note! The rules and power system of this small thousand world are completely different from the Cangyun Realm! True Essence from the Cangyun Realm will be restricted! In this small thousand world, humans have a probability of awakening an energy body called a Battle Soul at birth, similar to Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Cangyun Realm. The form of cultivation realms is manifested as 'World Rings'!]

[Please select a Battle Soul for your electronic girlfriend!]

Chen Huaian: "...Huh?"

He rubbed his eyes, confirming the small thousand world was called Canglan and not some other name.

But this Battle Soul and World Ring concept... the sense of déjà vu was a bit too strong...
