Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 785: A Grand Gift

Chapter 785: A Grand Gift

...

Spirit Void Old Ghost was at the peak of the Great Ascension Stage.

One of the peak cultivators who had once taken refuge in the Void Abyss.

Chen Huaian's mind flooded with the life story of this cultivator. Spirit Void Old Ghost was neither fully evil nor not evil. You couldn't say he had committed many wicked deeds, but if you looked for good deeds he had done, you wouldn't find a single one.

It was just that this person was utterly selfish and ruthless in his actions.

He possessed a magical artifact called a Soul Banner, capable of refining ghosts and living people.

He practiced the Ghost Path, spending his days in the company of Chimei Wangliang.

However, those refined by Spirit Void Old Ghost were all his enemies, those who stood in his way. Those cultivators who wanted to slay him to build their righteous reputations were now all lying within his Myriad Soul Banner. Apart from these cultivators, Spirit Void Old Ghost had indeed never actively killed any other cultivator.

That matter could also be considered to have a cause. After slaughtering the sect, this Spirit Void Old Ghost immediately went into hiding. When he reemerged, he had already broken through from the Void Shattering realm to the Great Ascension Stage, so naturally, no one wanted to trouble him anymore.

And from the early Great Ascension Stage to the peak of Great Ascension Stage, Spirit Void Old Ghost spent over two thousand years cultivating.

In all that time, he never sought another Dao Companion.

In Chen Huaian's eyes, this was a very troublesome cultivator.

The other party wanted to come to the Moon Shadow Sect's back mountain to undergo his tribulation and breakthrough, simply because he valued the Moon Shadow Sect's Spirit Vein resources and also wanted to borrow the Moon Shadow Sect's Destiny Energy.

Currently, the Moon Shadow Sect could be said to have gathered the Destiny Energy of the entire Cangyun Realm.

Within the cultivation world, rumors had begun to circulate that as long as one entered the Moon Shadow Sect, there would be a chance to attain the Dao and become an immortal in the future—the so-called saying, "Of all the immortal fates under heaven, the Moon Shadow Sect holds ninety percent," originated from this.

When a cultivator becomes an immortal, they will absorb vast amounts of spiritual energy from their surroundings to use as one of the forces to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

At the same time, if a cultivator fails to become an immortal and is struck by the Heavenly Tribulation until their soul scatters, the spiritual energy that dissipates from their body can also nourish all things.

Chen Huaian stared at Spirit Void Old Ghost, the two of them looking at each other in silence.

Spirit Void Old Ghost grinned ferociously, waiting for Chen Huaian to agree. If Chen Huaian didn't agree, his Myriad Soul Banner wasn't just for show. What if, one day while he was traveling and refining souls for fun, he accidentally refined a few Moon Shadow Sect disciples? It wasn't impossible.

And what if those few disciples were the Moon Shadow Sect's direct-lineage Peerless Talents? That probability also existed...

Meanwhile, Chen Huaian, looking at the map where Spirit Void Old Ghost's dot was gradually changing from yellow to red, silently summoned the customer service.

[Heaven's Calculation: What is the probability of Spirit Void Old Ghost becoming an immortal at the Moon Shadow Sect?]

[Initiating Heaven's Calculation for you!]

The sky above the Moon Shadow Sect suddenly changed, thunderclouds gathered, and Heaven's Might rolled.

Spirit Void Old Ghost looked up at the sky, sensing an unavoidable feeling of being watched.

But he didn't take any action.

Having spent years dodging and hiding under the lock of the world's rules, he was long accustomed to this feeling of being watched by the Heavenly Dao.

He completely failed to connect the Heavenly Dao's gaze with the silently pondering, downcast-eyed Chen Huaian before him.

Cangyun Realm, Upper Realm.

White Sword, who was playing chess with Tu Shan Yue, frowned, a flash of cold light passing through his eyes.

"What's wrong, White Sword brother? Was my move not good?"

Noticing the coldness in White Sword's eyes, Tu Shan Yue quickly retracted the piece she had just placed, looking at him eagerly and asking, "How about now?"

White Sword's eyelid twitched: "You... are taking back your move?"

"It's not taking back the move. It's that I'll place it wherever brother thinks is good." Tu Shan Yue rested her chin on her hands, gazing at White Sword with deep affection: "I could even place it in brother's heart~"

White Sword: "..."

"You took back your move. Go face the wall under the peach tree for three days."

Hearing the Sword Bearer's indifferent tone, Tu Shan Yue panicked. She had begged so hard just to get half an hour alone with White Sword every day.

Now, making her face the wall for three days meant she wouldn't see White Sword for three days?

How could that be?

"Brother~" She stood up, about to throw herself into White Sword's arms and employ her coquettish tactics.

However, her vision blurred, she grabbed at nothing, and White Sword had already stood up with a teacup, calmly taking a sip.

"Seven days."

"Wah—!" Tu Shan Yue looked at White Sword's gradually fading, departing back with a pitiful expression, naturally being completely ignored.

She could only let out a dejected sigh.

"Tu Shan Yue, ah, Tu Shan Yue! White Sword brother values rules the most, how could you take back your move?"

She angrily slapped herself.

She knew arguing with White Sword was useless.

If she wanted White Sword to pay attention to her again, she could only go face the wall under the peach tree for seven days.

Not far away, Real Person Jade Compassion watched Tu Shan Yue leave dejectedly and couldn't help but let a slight smile curl at the corner of her mouth.

"Heh, foolish fox. A clever person racking their brains is no match for a fool's sudden inspiration..."

"What? You want to go face the wall too?" A cold voice sounded behind her, startling Jade Compassion. She turned to see White Sword's face, identical to Chen Huaian's but devoid of any emotion.

"No, can you not appear behind me next time? It's like a ghost!" Real Person Jade Compassion patted her chest and let out a relieved breath.

"A ghost could not possess cultivation like mine." White Sword said very seriously.

Real Person Jade Compassion: "..."

"There's something I need you to do." White Sword summoned a sand table of the Cangyun Realm, pointing at the aged figure sitting on a mountain rock in front of the Moon Shadow Sect's gate.

Real Person Jade Compassion focused her gaze and vaguely sensed the world's rules concentrating towards that figure.

This was a peak Great Ascension Stage cultivator, about to undergo his tribulation.

Looking more carefully.

Oh? Isn't that Spirit Void Old Ghost?

"What are your orders? Go easy on him during his tribulation?" Real Person Jade Compassion raised an eyebrow.

"No." White Sword shook his head, the coldness in his eyes deepening: "This person's ambitions are too great. Strike him into a loose immortal."

"Ambitions too great?" Real Person Jade Compassion looked utterly bewildered.

From her understanding of Spirit Void Old Ghost, this cultivator had always been a loner. You could say he was eccentric and ruthless.

But saying he had great ambitions...

Spirit Void Old Ghost had never been a Sect Master in his entire life, nor had he ever established a sect. Where did ambitions come from?

Could wanting to become an immortal even be considered an ambition?

Before she could ask more, the Giant Golden Eyeball was already tossed into her hands, and White Sword, with his hands behind his back, vanished before her eyes.

"Alright then." Real Person Jade Compassion sighed helplessly: "Then strike him into a loose immortal."

She glanced somewhat sympathetically at Spirit Void Old Ghost on the sand table: "Blame White Sword for disliking you, don't blame the Heavenly Dao for being unfair."

...

[Heaven's Calculation complete.]

[This is your first Heaven's Calculation today. This calculation is free.]

[The probability of Spirit Void Old Ghost becoming an immortal at the Moon Shadow Sect is zero. The probability of him becoming an immortal outside the Moon Shadow Sect is 30%.]

Seeing this calculation result, the caution and hostility on Chen Huaian's face instantly vanished. The look he now directed at Spirit Void Old Ghost was as if he were looking at a great treasure.

"My Moon Shadow Sect embraces all under heaven. Even if you practice Ghost Path techniques and wish to join my Moon Shadow Sect, it is completely without issue."

Chen Huaian snapped his fingers.

Su Qinian instantly appeared, pulling clothes and a token out of a washing machine, folding them neatly, and presenting them.

Chen Huaian handed the tray holding the token and uniform to Spirit Void Old Ghost. Under Spirit Void Old Ghost's utterly bewildered expression, he said urgently, "Starting today, you are an Honorary Grand Elder of my Moon Shadow Sect. Hurry and join the loving and caring Moon Shadow Sect so we can embrace a beautiful future together!"

Spirit Void Old Ghost: "???"

He had been prepared for Chen Huaian to refuse.

He even thought that even if Chen Huaian allowed him into the Moon Shadow Sect, it would be reluctant, forced by his peak Great Ascension Stage cultivation.

But now, Chen Huaian's meaning was... welcome him to join?!

"If this old man becomes an immortal, it will consume quite a few of your Moon Shadow Sect's resources. You... aren't afraid?" He glanced sideways at Chen Huaian.

"Not afraid!" Chen Huaian said solemnly: "Isn't the goal of us cultivators to become immortals? If we can help an old cultivator become an immortal, it is an honor for my Moon Shadow Sect! In the future, the world will believe my Moon Shadow Sect is the only sacred land in this era capable of producing immortals!"

Spirit Void Old Ghost stared fixedly at Chen Huaian, his eyelids twitching wildly. He added, "This old man has a notorious reputation. Taking me in, your Moon Shadow Sect will also be tainted by karma. You... still aren't afraid?"

"What is there to fear?" Chen Huaian laughed heartily: "My Moon Shadow Sect is the number one sect under heaven! Who dares to utter half a word of criticism?!"

"Good." Seeing the sincerity in Chen Huaian's eyes, Spirit Void Old Ghost's icy heart couldn't help but be moved.

The world despised him like a demon.

Back then, his Dao Companion had also left him because of the corpse stench on him.

Only Chen Huaian was the sole person willing to accept him.

He had originally intended to forcibly take advantage, relying on the Moon Shadow Sect's Destiny Energy and spiritual energy to resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

Now, however, he felt a bit embarrassed.

Just joining the Moon Shadow Sect like this would make him feel guilty.

He pondered left and right, then cupped his hands towards Chen Huaian: "Chen Sword Master, your righteousness is great. Since Chen Sword Master thinks highly of this old ghost, then this old ghost must also give the Sword Master a grand gift."

With that, he grabbed his Myriad Soul Banner, transformed into a black cloud, and fled into the distance.

Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes, looking in the direction Spirit Void Old Ghost had left.

If he wasn't mistaken.

That should be heading towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains...
