Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 720: This matter needs to be asked of the Ancestor

Chapter 720: This matter needs to be asked of the Ancestor

...

"Heaven's Calculation! Tell me, is there a treasure capable of leaving behind a flawless decoy while the true body escapes like a cicada shedding its skin?"

Indeed, that was the plan.

Chen Huaian intended to trick the demon immortal avatar currently possessing Muscle Tyrant. By creating the facade that he was still stationed at the Exorcist Division, he could secretly move to harvest the ferocious beasts within the Demon Sealing Pagoda ahead of schedule.

His primary goal was to intimidate those two demon immortal avatars, misleading them into believing their every move was under constant surveillance.

Consequently, those two avatars would be forced to hesitate and deliberate carefully before attempting their next maneuver.

Ultimately, he wanted to prevent the Well of Heaven from opening too abruptly—his current Cultivation was simply not high enough to handle the chaos that might erupt once the Well of Heaven was unsealed.

To manage this, he needed to slow down the two great demon immortal avatars.

He had to ensure the Well of Heaven opened gradually, following his own pace.

He needed to be certain that by the time the Well of Heaven was fully active, he would possess sufficient strength or enough trump cards to manage the situation.

For instance... having the capability to utilize the Sect Summoning Token to call forth an immortal from the Cangyun Realm...

[Heaven's Calculation in progress... As this is your first calculation of the day, it is free of charge!]

Chen Huaian pressed his palms together: "Amitabha, such a treasure must exist! This Venerable One is prepared to trade Wang Shouyi's ability to get frisky for an entire week in exchange for information on this item!"

After speaking, Chen Huaian paused for a second.

Heaven's Calculation functioned through the Heavenly Dao of the Cangyun Realm.

However, it seemed the Heavenly Dao of the Cangyun Realm held no jurisdiction over Earth Star...

Because of this, he revised his offering.

"Amitabha, perhaps I shouldn't use Wang Shouyi for the deal. Let's trade Zhang Mengchu being unable to get frisky for a week instead."

[Currently performing Heaven's Calculation for you...]

The notification appeared once more on Chen Huaian's phone screen.

...

Cangyun Realm, Immortal Realm.

"Sword Bearer! Sword Bearer! Something has gone wrong!"

Real Person Jade Compassion was sprinting about in a panic, clutching a golden eyeball that glowed like fire and throbbed incessantly.

Just a moment ago, for reasons she couldn't comprehend, the Heavenly Dao eyeball entrusted to her by the Sword Bearer had suddenly gone into a frenzy while she was channeling energy into the Origin Core.

The Sword Bearer had successfully recreated the Peach Blossom Spring of the Void Abyss within the Immortal Realm.

He had even reconstructed the former home of that fox, Tu Shan Yue.

The problem was, she had no clue where the Sword Bearer actually was!

She was reduced to running around aimlessly, screaming for the "Sword Bearer" at the top of her lungs.

After shouting until she was exhausted, she decided to shorten the name.

"Sword man... Sword man! Show yourself this instant!"

"Your eyeball is on the verge of exploding!"

"Why are you making such a racket?" The irritated voice of White Sword echoed from directly behind Real Person Jade Compassion.

Real Person Jade Compassion leaped in shock: "Hey! Can't you make a sound when you show up? You nearly scared me to death!"

White Sword didn't feel like arguing with her. With a casual flick of his wrist, the Heavenly Dao eyeball was pulled into his hand.

Without saying a word, he gave Real Person Jade Compassion a cold look before vanishing from the spot.

"Just like a ghost..." Real Person Jade Compassion muttered, pouting as she stared at the empty space where he had been standing.

...

At that same moment.

The Sword Bearer gripped the Heavenly Dao eyeball, scanning the data contained within.

"What is that brat up to now? A treasure to leave a fake body behind while the real one escapes like a cicada shedding its skin?"

He knit his brows together.

Such trinkets were common throughout the Cangyun Realm, weren't they?

However, if he wanted a decoy that was indistinguishable from the original, those were rare.

Most were merely basic substitutes—an enemy would only need to use their Divine Sense to spot the deception.

"No matter, I suppose it is necessary for the advancement on Earth Star. I will forge one for you!" White Sword waved his hand, causing a variety of precious materials to manifest on the ground. Any one of these items would cause a bloodbath among cultivators if they appeared in the Cangyun Realm.

To him, however, these were merely his most mediocre supplies.

It wasn't that he lacked superior materials, but they would be hampered by the natural laws of Earth Star, making them less efficient than these simpler ones.

White Sword sorted through the pile, eventually picking out a length of wood that shimmered with a soft white light.

"One hundred thousand year Blue Silver Wood." He felt the weight of the wood, then produced a small blade and began to carve.

His hands moved with deliberate slowness, yet wood shavings fell away in large clusters with every cut.

In a matter of seconds, the wood had been transformed into a perfect miniature of Chen Huaian—or rather, a miniature of the Sword Bearer himself.

"To create a decoy that can truly deceive, one must grant the puppet a soul and a spark of life..."

The Sword Bearer brushed his fingers against the wooden figure, a faint light glowing at his touch. As the radiance pulsed, the carving seemed to wake up, becoming startlingly lifelike.

The puppet's eyes began to scan the room, its face twisting with expressions of fear and bewilderment, just like a living person.

"To prevent the creation from surpassing the creator, its sentience must be removed." As White Sword spoke, he ran a finger over the puppet's eyes, and its expression immediately went blank.

It remained visually identical to a living being, but it was now devoid of spiritual essence.

"It is finished." White Sword inspected the wooden puppet from all angles, a hint of pride finally appearing in his eyes.

The artifact had no formal name, but it suited Chen Huaian's needs perfectly.

Chen Huaian only needed to apply a single drop of his blood, and the puppet would serve as his double. No one below the True Immortal realm would be able to pierce the disguise.

"Even if the item is trivial, the karma involved must still be balanced."

White Sword pulled the sand table of the Cangyun Realm toward him and pointed toward the location of the Moon Shadow Sect.

At the Moon Shadow Sect—

Zhang Mengchu, who had been enjoying a pleasant time with Liu Cuie and was currently in the middle of undressing, suddenly had a change in expression.

"Wait... something is wrong!"

"Master, what is it?" Liu Cuie's sleepy, melodic voice drifted from behind the bed curtains.

Zhang Mengchu's face went pale; he tried to speak but found no words, then tried again.

Finally, he turned back to Liu Cuie, forcing a pained grin.

"Listen, Cuie... let's call it a night. Your Master just remembered some critical business... with so many Sects moving near our Moon Shadow Sect, Senior Brother Li probably can't manage everything alone. I should go assist him."

"Oh... really?" Liu Cuie sounded quite let down.

She had hoped to finally reach the peak of union with her Master tonight, but she was not the type to complain.

The reason she had captured Zhang Mengchu's heart so quickly was her obedient and perceptive nature.

"Master, please go take care of your duties. I will wait here patiently for you to return."

Seeing how submissive and sweet Liu Cuie was, Zhang Mengchu felt a surge of affection and gently patted her cheek.

He then hurried out of the room as if his life depended on it.

Once outside the cave dwelling.

Zhang Mengchu frowned, his mind racing with doubt.

"This makes no sense. I have already reached the Void Shattering realm; how can I still suffer from the physical failures of a common mortal?

This is impossible!

Is it perhaps because I am under too much mental stress?

Yes, that has to be the reason!"

Zhang Mengchu let out a long sigh.

He was simply too preoccupied with his image to follow through with his own disciple.

It seemed he needed to consult the Ancestor and ask how he managed to be so thick-skinned during such matters...
