Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 558: All Are Old Demons

Chapter 558: All Are Old Demons <Before the Dawn Clouds>

Duan Feng's words seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

For a moment, many disciples eagerly expressed their willingness to cultivate the demonic arts and earnestly requested the chance to practice these arts.

Among all the disciples,

only Tu Xinghe wore a strange expression.

Everyone longed for the demonic arts spoken of by the ancestors.

Wasn't he punished before for cultivating the demonic arts?

Back then, when he practiced the demonic arts, he felt it could strengthen the body without discriminating by talent, and it seemed to have almost no side effects.

He never intended to use the demonic arts for evil; he simply wanted to become stronger so that if the sect or his junior brothers and sisters faced danger in the future, he could stand up to protect everyone instead of helplessly accepting tragedy.

Had the reputation of the demonic arts completely reversed?

Was he the real clown all along?!

Tu Xinghe was both laughing and crying.

But this was actually good. The ancestor didn’t punish him back then, which showed the ancestor had long known that the demonic arts were good if used properly. It was just inconvenient to say this openly.

Now, the original ancestors of the True Martial Holy Land had begun cultivating the demonic arts.

Only now did the ancestor feel that these things should be shared.

Indeed, this was the way of the ancestor?

Thinking a hundred steps ahead even when taking one step!

Such deep understanding—he truly was moved to tears!

Chen Huaian, sensing the right moment, directly took out a hand-copied first volume of the Heavenly Demon Art and pasted it onto a stone tablet in the sect’s main square.

“The demonic arts cultivated by myself and Elder Zhang are called the Heavenly Demon Art, an ancient sacred-level technique. After improvements, some of the flaws of this technique have been removed. However, it still tests one’s disposition. You may choose to cultivate it selectively.”

Chen Huaian thought to first put out the first layer of the Heavenly Demon Art as a trial.

He wanted to see how many disciples were willing to cultivate it and whether any negative effects would arise.

If any adverse effects occurred, as the modifier of the Heavenly Demon Art, he could quickly suppress them.

He had expected the disciples to be cautious, but to his surprise, as soon as the Heavenly Demon Art was posted, the disciples swarmed like sharks smelling blood, and among them were even several elders—Su Qinian charged forward the fastest, standing at the very front.

“Looks like it’s effective?” Chen Huaian looked at the bustling crowd below and nodded with satisfaction.

All his efforts and rehearsals had not been in vain.

However, the reputation of the Moon Shadow Sect disciples might suffer in the future.

Once they went on missions outside the sect and contacted disciples from other sects, they would be labeled as demon cultivators?

“Indeed, it’s good.” Zhang Yibai nodded. “Now you can rest assured… But I’m a bit curious, why must the disciples cultivate the Heavenly Demon Art? Are you afraid some might betray us when we charge ahead?”

“That’s a small mindset.” Chen Huaian smiled mysteriously. “Come, Old Zhang, I’ll take you to meet someone.”

Chen Huaian led Zhang Yibai to the small bamboo forest behind the mountain.

Zhang Yibai looked toward the nearby sea of bamboo for any sign of people.

He couldn’t help but recall the recent videos he had been watching on Douyin and quickly glanced at Chen Huaian. “Um, Old Chen, you’re not suddenly going to meow at me, right? Although we’re both near Tianfu District, I don’t think I’ve fully integrated yet.”

Chen Huaian: “???”

He sized up Zhang Yibai from head to toe.

With that sturdy body and that beard, wasn’t Old Zhang the more suspicious one? How did suspicion fall on him?

“Meow!” Chen Huaian coquettishly meowed and licked the back of his hand.

“Don’t mess around!” Zhang Yibai shivered and stepped back three paces quickly.

Chen Huaian chuckled, “Old Zhang, don’t watch so much Douyin. Too much of that stuff might make you stupid.”

“Tell that to the borderline streamers on Douyin.” Zhang Yibai knew Chen Huaian was joking and scoffed.

Chen Huaian led Zhang Yibai step by step to the enchantments on the bamboo hut.

With each layer of enchantment removed, Zhang Yibai’s expression grew more shocked.

“Brother Chen, your array mastery is impressive… Although I have lost my previous realm, my soul remains at the Great Ascension Stage, yet I still didn’t detect your array in this sea of bamboo… There are three layers inside and three layers outside here. What treasures did you place?”

“That’s a big treasure.” Chen Huaian chuckled.

As the last enchantment lifted,

two massive figures surrounded by demonic energy appeared before Chen Huaian and Zhang Yibai.

Old Demon Xiao sat facing Young Master Yinyu.

Originally a very sturdy man, Old Demon Xiao had now transformed into a demonic muscleman, his muscles more developed than Zhang Yibai’s. As the demonic energy surged around him, his muscles rippled as if breathing in and out the energy.

As for Young Master Yinyu, he looked better than Old Demon Xiao.

He had changed from a frail young man into a muscular strongman.

Although Chen Huaian was mentally prepared,

he couldn’t help but be surprised seeing these two.

The improved Heavenly Demon Art had removed flaws but added a new effect—enhanced sexual tension. The most primitive male sexual tension naturally manifested as a massive physique and robust muscles.

Old Demon Xiao had practiced the Heavenly Demon Art before.

He quickly transitioned from the original version to the improved one.

“Damn...” Zhang Yibai tensed up seeing Old Demon Xiao and exclaimed, “Brother… why did you bring Old Demon Xiao here?”

“What brother?!”

Old Demon Xiao opened his eyes, his crimson gaze locking on Zhang Yibai. “No respect for elders, Zhang Yibai. In front of me, the Sword Saint, you must call me senior, and Chen Huaian is my real older brother! You actually call my real brother ‘bro’?! I think you’re looking to die!”

Zhang Yibai: “???”

He gave Chen Huaian a strange look.

Chen Huaian was Old Demon Xiao’s real brother?

Huh?!

Even after living for thousands of years, Zhang Yibai felt his brain wasn’t enough for this.

After all, Chen Huaian had also transmigrated to the Cangyun Realm.

Was he Old Demon Xiao’s real brother before transmigration?

Zhang Yibai’s mind was in chaos.

“All right, Brother Xiao, Old Zhang saved my life. You can’t be rude.”

“So you’re the one who saved my brother’s life!”

Old Demon Xiao withdrew from cultivation and kowtowed to Zhang Yibai.

Boom—!

The ground trembled violently.

Zhang Yibai: “…”

He was sure Chen Huaian wasn’t Old Demon Xiao’s real brother.

He could only say Chen Huaian was a master at bluffing.

Look at how he had manipulated the mighty Heavenly Demon Patriarch!

Chen Huaian saw Old Demon Xiao had reached a good state of cultivation.

Knowing the peak Great Ascension old demon was fully bound to their battle ship,

he smiled inside and asked, “Brother Xiao, how do you find this improved Heavenly Demon Art?”

“A masterpiece!” Old Demon Xiao became excited.

He gestured wildly and sneered, “The previous Heavenly Demon Art required a high-quality refinement target and easily caused cultivators to stray into demonic paths. Now with improvements, everything in the world can be refined. Although it seems more extreme, it actually grants cultivators greater freedom and choice. For example, if you don’t want to refine human flesh and blood, you can refine monsters or ghosts. If you don’t want that either, you can refine the essence of heaven and earth!”

“Hehehe…” Old Demon Xiao clenched his fists. “I thought this life was over for me, but with my brother’s improved Heavenly Demon Art, I have a chance to break into the immortal sects again!”

“Hehehe!” Chen Huaian imitated Old Demon Xiao’s sneer, dark and eerie. “Now that the entire Moon Shadow Sect has begun cultivating the Heavenly Demon Art, the time for the Heavenly Demon Sect to rebuild its heavenly rule over the Cangyun Realm is coming!”

One laughed wildly while looking up.

The other laughed wildly while looking at him.

Only Zhang Yibai stood there, utterly bewildered by the wind.

It was a pity there was an enchantment here that blocked sound so well, or else the disciples of the Moon Shadow Sect would suspect the back mountain was haunted by old demons just from the demonic laughter.

He roughly understood what Chen Huaian wanted.

To unify the Cangyun Realm.

And Old Demon Xiao was Chen Huaian’s sharp blade!

It was unimaginable.

If Old Demon Xiao truly became an immortal,

then being pulled into the Earth Star would be a crushing dimensional blow to the Ascenders still in their "embryo" state.

When the Moon Shadow Sect arrived on Earth Star,

those Ascenders could only kneel and tremble.

He had already begun looking forward to it...
