Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 557: Everyone Wants to Practice Demonic Arts?

Chapter 557: Everyone Wants to Practice Demonic Arts?

"Old Chen, your sect's plaza isn't solid enough, and this Xuanwu Alchemy Stone of yours..." Zhang Yibai shook his finger and curled his lips, saying, "It's ordinary, just ordinary."

"This is already the hardest stone I could find," Chen Huaian said with a bitter smile.

Zhang Yibai's strength skyrocketed after cultivating the Heavenly Demon Art.

He combined the brutality of physical cultivation with the elegance of swordsmanship, and now, based on the Reincarnation Sword Intent, he developed another set of sword intent.

Zhang Yibai called this sword intent the Burial Heaven Sword Intent.

It represented ultimate burst, ultimate output, and delivered ultimate damage.

Regarding Zhang Yibai’s words, Chen Huaian had his own way of understanding them.

To put it simply, Zhang Yibai used to be a warrior but has now switched classes and become a berserker.

Maybe it wasn’t a bug after all, since the Electronic Girlfriend game system hadn’t reacted to this behavior.

"Ancestor! Is it really you, Ancestor!"

Zhang Mengchu and Li Ziping eagerly ran up to Zhang Yibai, wanting to recognize him but feeling hesitant.

The change in temperament was too drastic. Who would have expected the previously skinny, immortal-qi drifting old man to now stand there like a beast?

Those chest muscles, those triceps, those thighs—they were as thick as their waists.

Although his cultivation seemed to have regressed two great stages, his divine soul and imposing aura still carried a heavy pressure.

"That's right, it’s me, but you cannot call me Ancestor. Our Moon Shadow Sect has only one Ancestor: Chen Sword Master," Zhang Yibai said sternly as he patted Zhang Mengchu, pushing half of him into the floor tiles. "You should call me the Supreme Elder!"

"Yes, Supreme Elder!" Zhang Mengchu pulled himself out and hurriedly cupped his fists.

Li Ziping also cupped his fists. No matter what, it was great to see the Ancestor again.

The disciples of the True Martial Holy Land were all tearful, gazing eagerly in this direction.

Zhang Yibai waved at them.

"The Ancestor is still as kind as before, sob sob sob..."

"Has the Ancestor switched to physical cultivation? What cultivation technique is he practicing? I want to try it too!"

"The black smoke emanating from the Ancestor—that must be demonic energy, right? It looks so cool!"

"I think I had the wrong aesthetic before. Sword cultivators should be like the Ancestor, skinny and fragile-looking, not weak at all!"

Chen Huaian curled his lips as he listened to the True Martial disciples’ chatter.

They really just followed whatever the Ancestor did.

Whatever the Ancestor did, they did.

Weren’t they just saying demonic arts were bad? A bunch of chameleons.

"Old... Elder Zhang, what exactly is your current condition..." Zhang Mengchu stared at Zhang Yibai’s muscles and demonic energy in awe.

He probably already guessed why Chen Sword Master asked so many questions today.

It was all a setup for Zhang Yibai!

He thought there was no need for a setup. So what if the True Martial Ancestor practiced demonic arts? He was still their Ancestor.

No need to ask so many questions; as long as one was a disciple of the True Martial Holy Land, there was no way they wouldn't accept it!

"As you see, I have cultivated the physical demonic arts provided by Chen Sword Master," Zhang Yibai said straightforwardly. "I have already checked this demonic art. As long as your disposition passes muster, there is absolutely no problem in practicing it.

We have so many seniors in the Moon Shadow Sect who can promptly detect and guide us in the area of heart demons.

The advantage of this technique is that it does not pick talent; even law cultivators can practice it simultaneously to improve their physique.

As for this demonic energy... it is actually a kind of killing intent. Fierce generals on the folk battlefields who can fight against tens of thousands have this killing intent, but unlike cultivators like us, the killing intent does not manifest as black mist floating on the body surface.

So, do you think this killing intent can be used as a standard to judge whether someone is evil?"

Zhang Yibai spoke earnestly.

Anyway, the Heavenly Demon Art had been completely improved, so teaching it to the disciples was only beneficial without any harm.

Though orthodox cultivation techniques rarely generate heart demons, they had turned their disciples into greenhouse flowers.

Unlike demonic arts, every time you advance a realm, you must overcome a heart demon.

Once overcome, your disposition and realm become more stable.

If not...

That wouldn’t happen in the Moon Shadow Sect.

What kind of heart demon could escape several sword-wielding elders?

That glorious righteous energy and sword aura would wither at the slightest hint of a heart demon.

However, there was one point Chen Huaian disagreed with.

People with killing intent on their body, whether good or bad, were definitely not to be trifled with.

Most people instinctively felt that cultivators with this killing intent were frightening.

Naturally, cultivators with killing intent on their bodies were classified as dangerous and bad people.

It was human nature.

"Does practicing the demonic art provided by the Ancestor give you such a magnificent physique?" a disciple asked.

"Exactly," Zhang Yibai nodded and added, "Male cultivators become more masculine, and female cultivators become more beautiful!"

At these words, the female cultivators from Lingxi Valley, who had no feelings toward demonic arts before, instantly brightened their eyes.

After all, they were girls. The sect rules had changed, no longer forbidding them from forming dao companions with other cultivators.

Naturally, besides cultivation, these female cultivators spent the most effort making themselves look better.

Otherwise, how could they attract those handsome and powerful sword cultivators originally from Sword Pavilion and the True Martial Holy Land?

As for the alchemy sect cultivators, they were basically excluded; they all smelled like medicinal residues and couldn’t compare to sword cultivators at all.

"What I care about is whether practicing the demonic arts provided by the Ancestor can enhance the power of my sword path," Duan Feng said, his eyes burning as he stared at Zhang Yibai.

He loved swordsmanship his entire life, and if he could improve even one level, he was willing to trust the Ancestors’ choice.

Especially since these two Ancestors were the Zhang Yibai Sword Master and Chen Sword Master he admired.

Zhang Yibai said nothing, drew a great sword as wide as a door panel, and swung it horizontally with sheer arm strength without using true essence.

Boom—!

The sword qi tore through the sky, and the distant mountain peak shattered in response!

"This is pure power alone," Zhang Yibai said, planting the sword into the ground and looking at the stunned Duan Feng. "True essence’s role is to strengthen, to reinforce our bodies and the martial arts we use. The body is the foundation; with a strong foundation, sword moves can naturally unleash greater power under the enhancement of true essence. With your comprehension, you should understand this."

"And killing intent, that is what you call demonic energy. Like sword path and sword intent, it also enhances martial arts.

For example, the Reincarnation Sword Intent makes one feel the futility of life, then rapidly age, with life force quickly draining under the influence of sword intent.

Killing intent causes a deadly determination in the heart, driving one into madness and chaos—because this effect is quite sinister, cultivators like us call it demonic energy!"

"I see now!" Duan Feng sincerely cupped his fists and said earnestly,

"I want to try practicing the demonic arts the Ancestors spoke of. Please grant me permission, Ancestors."
