Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 645: Ominous Premonition
Chapter 645: Ominous Premonition
...
"Where is that statue?" Chen Huaian hurriedly asked.
"It's still in the ruins of the Great Thunder Temple." Zhang Yibai's eyes held a trace of lingering fear: "Hua Jin said that statue cannot be touched, otherwise we'll be noticed by mysterious entities. I almost touched it back then, and thinking about it now still gives me the creeps. You know, while my physical strength hasn't recovered, my divine soul is at the peak of the Great Ascension Stage—you could almost call it half-step immortal soul. Yet even so, I nearly fell victim to it... Moreover, when you fought that Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python's avatar with your Great Ascension power, the shockwaves from your battle didn't even destroy the statue. I'm afraid with our current strength, we can't do anything about that statue."
Chen Huaian's heart sank upon hearing this. During his battle with the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python's avatar, he'd found it strange that the Buddha statue remained undamaged. He never expected there was actually a snake-bodied statue connected beneath it. Clearly, the Buddha statue was protected by the snake-bodied statue, making it indestructible.
Previously, Hua Jin had mentioned that the Great Thunder Temple enshrined five demon immortals. The Great Immortal Huang behind Monk Faming had already been eliminated due to Faming's defeat. Then the stronger Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python replaced him... Now that the Golden Scale Heaven-Piercing Python has also been eliminated, an even more powerful existence will likely descend.
As increasingly powerful enemies appear, the breathing room for him and Old Zhang will become less and less...
"Her Eminence!" Chen Huaian's heart tightened as he turned to Hua Jin the True One. "You should return to Kunlun Immortal Palace immediately to begin reconstruction work!"
Both Hua Jin the True One and Wang Shouyi were taken aback.
"Eh? So urgent?""It's not about urgency, but about Kunlun Immortal Palace currently being leaderless." Chen Huaian reminded her. "Do you want to see other sects occupying Kunlun Immortal Palace?"
Hua Jin the True One's expression changed slightly at these words. Chen Huaian had touched upon her greatest concern.
The fact that Kunlun Immortal Palace had undergone drastic changes couldn't be concealed. Blood Blade True One had almost completely eliminated all the elders and disciples who supported Hua Jin. Meanwhile, Chen Huaian, Zhang Yibai, and the others had killed the remaining disciples and elders. By now, Kunlun Immortal Palace's disciples had probably all fled.
All of Kunlun Immortal Palace's resources except the treasure vault had certainly been taken by those fleeing disciples. As these disciples spread out, other sects would learn...
When Kunlun Immortal Palace was prosperous, they were like obedient dogs. But when the immortal palace falls into decline, they transform into greedy wolves. Probably some sects are already eyeing Kunlun Immortal Palace, wanting to divide its resources!
But...
"Senior Chen, the main issue is my current strength makes it difficult..."
Before she could finish, Chen Huaian interrupted Hua Jin the True One: "Don't worry about that. Old Zhang and Old Gu will go with you. Anyone who disobeys your rule, anyone who dares to move against Kunlun Immortal Palace—Old Zhang and Old Gu will naturally have ways to deal with them! Secondly, to quickly improve strength, I recommend all Kunlun Immortal Palace disciples and elders practice the Hea... Heavenly Divine Body Tempering Technique. What do you think?" ṛâ𐌽ȏʙĘṠ
Chen Huaian nervously pinched his thigh. Damn it, I almost slipped up!
Hua Jin felt only gratitude toward Chen Huaian upon hearing this, not finding anything wrong with practicing the Divine Body Tempering Technique. How could she and Wang Shouyi not know whether that technique was effective or advanced? Senior Chen's kindness was simply impossible to repay! Senior Chen and Senior Zhang had known each other for a long time—how could they not know the value of the Divine Body Tempering Technique? Yet they were still willing to share it with them. Such magnanimity—who in the entire cultivation world could match it?
At this moment, Hua Jin the True One's admiration for Chen Huaian was like an endless flowing river! She made a deep bow, her voice trembling slightly: "Thank you, Senior Chen, for your comprehensive planning! The 'Heavenly Divine Body Tempering Technique' is profoundly mysterious and will be the foundation for Kunlun's revival! This junior will definitely promote it with full effort!" She turned to Wang Shouyi and Zhang Yibai. "Senior Zhang, Senior Gu, and Little YiYi, we shouldn't delay—let's set off immediately!"
She now felt full of confidence about rebuilding Kunlun Immortal Palace. With Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng by her side, what did she have to fear? Whatever comes, we'll handle it.
Wang Shouyi nodded, tightening his grip on Hua Jin's soft little hand as he gazed deeply at Hua Jin the True One.
Zhang Yibai rested his sword on his shoulder, grinning to reveal a mouthful of white teeth: "Don't worry, with me around, let's see who dares to cause trouble!"
Seeing that Hua Jin's arrangements were settled, Chen Huaian said: "This Venerable One also needs to make a trip outside. I should return before too long."
"Where is Senior going? Is there any danger?" Wang Shouyi asked with concern. "Do you need assistance? This junior might be able to offer modest help."
Chen Huaian thought to himself that he was going to find Muscle Tyrant—how could Comrade Wang help with that? But considering that Wang Shouyi knew Earth Star better than he did, he pointed into the air, his true essence sketching out a simple map pointing to a certain area in Yun Province.
"This Venerable One needs to find Muscle Tyrant. Its location is roughly here... Wang Shouyi, you often take Kunlun Immortal Palace's ascenders traveling around—do you know what place this is?"
Wang Shouyi carefully examined the location marked on the map, his brows gradually furrowing, his expression growing solemn.
"This place... if this junior remembers correctly, it seems... to be the location of a Demon Sealing Pagoda!"
He took out his phone and searched for a while, quickly confirming it. With a look of certainty, he said: "This Demon Sealing Pagoda wasn't previously Kunlun Immortal Palace's responsibility—it was assigned to the Great Thunder Temple. However, the Great Thunder Temple probably doesn't have the energy to pay attention to this Demon Sealing Pagoda now... Senior's strength is formidable, but we don't know what arrangements the Great Thunder Temple has near the Demon Sealing Pagoda. If Senior must go, please be careful!"
Demon Sealing Pagoda? Great Thunder Temple? Chen Huaian's brows furrowed tightly. Connecting that eerie statue with the current situation gave him a vaguely ominous premonition in his heart.
