Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 799: Watch the Operational Details!

Inside the Demon Sealing Pagoda, Chen Huaian positioned himself cross-legged for meditation.

Via the unique ability of the Sect Summoning Token, visions of the clash between Zhang Mengchu and Lin Fan appeared vividly in his thoughts.

Undeniably, Chen Niu's focus remained locked on those pair of Moon Shadow Sect Sword Cultivators.

For his part, all he had to do was steadily overcome the Demon Sealing Pagoda, step by step unveiling the Well of Heaven.

"What Fierce Beast guards this Demon Sealing Pagoda?"

Chen Huaian scanned his surroundings yet spotted no signs of any ancient Fierce Beast.

Maybe due to Chen Niu's forceful relocation, no demonic beasts lurked within this Demon Sealing Pagoda, and the misty essence of a Fierce Beast was absent as well.

The Well of Heaven rested silently at the corner of his sight, a subtle shimmer of Spiritual Energy eddying around its opening. The seals above and below stayed tightly secured, showing that this Well of Heaven retained both a Fierce Beast and an Auspicious Beast as protectors, even if they hid from view.

Chen Huaian rubbed his head and headed directly toward the Well of Heaven.

From his past triumphs over five Demon Sealing Pagodas, he knew the ancient Fierce Beast served as the sentinel for the lower Well of Heaven and acted as one of the keys to unlocking it. Whenever he neared the Well of Heaven, regardless of the ancient Fierce Beast's hiding spot, it would inevitably leap forth.

Such Fierce Beasts wielded all kinds of odd and peculiar Divine Abilities. Despite reaching the Unity Realm in his cultivation, he couldn't always pierce through their deceptions.

Should it choose to stay concealed, he might waste energy searching without success, and he lacked the patience for that.

Forcing it to emerge seemed wiser.

Yet, while the plan sounded grand, the outcome proved harsh.

He strode up to the Well of Heaven, even bending down close enough to dive inside, but the ancient Fierce Beast failed to show.

"Is it possible... it's dead?"

Chen Huaian furrowed his brow.

However, should the ancient Fierce Beast have perished or been offered up, the barrier on the lower Well of Heaven ought to have lifted.

"Hey! Any beasts around?" Chen Huaian called out to the area. "If no beast is here, I'm about to touch this Well of Heaven! You don't want to witness a pristine Well of Heaven get dirtied by This Venerable One diving in and marking it with impure shades, do you? Hehehe!"

He'd adopted such a brazen manner, but the surroundings offered no response.

Chen Huaian pursed his lips. Fine then, he'd simply leap in.

Unable to locate the ancient Fierce Beast, he'd seek the Auspicious Beast instead.

Chen Huaian dove headlong into the Well of Heaven.

After a swirling distortion in space that left him reeling.

Upon reopening his eyes, he'd entered a realm nearly shrouded in soft golden light.

Clearly, this marked the upper floor of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, domain of the Auspicious Beast guardian.

Still, the sight that greeted him stunned Chen Huaian somewhat.

For...

two enormous beings lay coiled within the upper section of the Demon Sealing Pagoda.

The left one radiated malevolent energy, whereas the right one exuded pure auspicious vibes.

A Fierce Beast and an Auspicious Beast coexisting side by side?

The spectacle struck Chen Huaian as somewhat dreamlike.

One must realize, despite endless eras of destruction, Fierce Beasts and Auspicious Beasts brimmed with irreconcilable tensions.

This rift arose from an innate bloodline aversion and the grudges built up through eons upon eons.

It was already impressive that Fierce Beasts and Auspicious Beasts could collaborate on their duty.

Occupying the same space... Chen Huaian found it unimaginable.

The Fierce Beast to the left initially resembled a savage dog engulfed in roaring flames, but in the next instant, it shifted to a rabbit with elongated, sharp ears; from yet another view, it appeared as a horse clad in blood-red scales.

This Fierce Beast measured small in stature, roughly the size of a mature ox.

Nevertheless, the overwhelming presence it projected rivaled any Fierce Beast he'd faced previously.

Hou.

For some reason, the Fierce Beast's name spontaneously arose in Chen Huaian's mind, as though he'd encountered it in the past.

That said, it stood to reason. As Bodhi's reincarnation, he likely had crossed paths with these Fierce Beasts and Auspicious Beasts during the Primordial Era.

Turning to the Auspicious Beast huddled on the right, its form wasn't grand either. It boasted a snowy coat and silky fur, akin to a fox, complete with horns sprouting from its back.

Chenghuang.

Yet again, the matching Auspicious Beast's name emerged in Chen Huaian's consciousness.

"Inheritor of the Dragon Soul, you've at last arrived."

Chenghuang parted its slender, elongated eyes, its warm stare settling on Chen Huaian. "I've awaited you for ages."

"Dragon Soul Inheritor." A raspy voice echoed next. It came from that Fierce Beast—Hou—whose shape altered with each angle of sight.

"Your position right now is quite dire." Hou's voice held a chill, its eyes appraising Chen Huaian with a touch of judgment. "The Upper Realm's Demon Immortals have woven a vast Heavenly Net.

Today, four Wells of Heaven shall unlock together, stirring heaven and earth, drawing the divine eyes back to this world...

Yet your power falls short of challenging the gods!

The pressing matter is for you to locate Taotie swiftly and aid Taotie in fusing the might of every Fierce Beast. That's the only way to gain precious moments for the Ancestral Dragon's scheme amid the looming catastrophe."

Chen Huaian's lip quirked.

Excellent!

Yet another dismissing his power as inadequate.

"Hou, the Inheritor has only stirred to awareness for under half a year. Don't raise expectations too steeply for him... Didn't past Inheritors get decades or even scores of years to develop?" Chenghuang let out a sigh. "We and the Ancestral Dragon haven't granted him sufficient time, but we expect him to bear this immense burden. It's unjust."

At last, someone stood up for him.

Chen Huaian exhaled in relief, his look toward Chenghuang warming noticeably.

This was the sort of Auspicious Beast he craved. A few more of these would suit him fine.

"No time remains for him!" Hou shot a frosty glare at Chenghuang. "It's exactly your leniency toward the Dragon Soul Inheritor that has led, cycle after cycle, to the Inheritors' downfall! Had their power been slightly greater, would things have reached this point?

Now Chen Niu employs a mighty Divine Ability to reshape the Earth Veins, pulling four Demon Sealing Pagodas into one spot. It plans to unseal all Wells of Heaven simultaneously. Once that happens..."

"And so?" Chenghuang shot back. "Provided the Inheritor absorbs the offerings from me and the remaining three Auspicious Beasts prior to Chen Niu's action, bolstered by the complete Taotie, he might just endure the strain... At minimum, he could flee, couldn't he?"

The vibe between the pair had seemed harmonious upon his entry.

How come, the moment he appeared, they began quarreling?

Chen Huaian hastened between Hou and Chenghuang. "Halt! Cease the bickering!"

"Is there a chance!" Chen Huaian lifted a finger gravely, declaring amid the beasts' piercing stares. "That Chen Niu lacks the moment to trouble This Venerable One? Perhaps it's entangled in its own peril at this very instant? This Venerable One will reveal a sight to you!"

To lift the spirits of the two beasts, Chen Huaian tapped into a sliver of the Sect Summoning Token's energy and, with his hand as a blade, carved a clear mirror-like plane in front of him.

The reflection captured the exterior of the Demon Sealing Pagoda, centering on Lin Fan.

Chen Huaian aimed to display Lin Fan's godly prowess, thrashing Chen Niu.

But within the mirror, Lin Fan soared through the air from Chen Niu's elbow blow and toss, smashing past a stone column before hitting the ground.

The instant he touched down, he coughed up blood.

Yet, from his healthy flush and Chen Huaian's knowledge of him, Lin Fan clearly hadn't sustained grave harm.

As expected, Lin Fan merely brushed the blood from his mouth's edge and then rocketed toward Chen Niu's avatar once more, swift as thunder.

"Your ally appears to be taking a thrashing from Chen Niu's avatar." Hou's mouth corner jerked. "And this is what you're presenting to us?!"

Chen Huaian let out an embarrassed, stiff chuckle.

"Oops, wrong, wrong, wrong choice!"

He swiftly adjusted the view to Zhang Mengchu.

A massive backside filled the mirror, swinging side to side.

Beneath Hou and Chenghuang's scornful stares, Chen Huaian eased the view back slightly.

In the mirror, Zhang Mengchu adopted a wholly improper stance, jutting out his backside, nearly sprawled over a gigantic stone etched with archaic runes.

Clutching a compass-shaped artifact in one hand, he chanted and waved it while, with the other, he lewdly prodded the stone's fissures now and then, even bending close to inhale. He resembled nothing so much as a rustic farmer selecting produce at a market stall, a ridiculous foil to the cataclysmic duel of Lin Fan and Chen Niu afar.

It was like the squad clashed in full force while the rogue lingered gathering herbs.

Hou and Chenghuang's expressions turned even more contemptuous.

Chenghuang couldn't resist shielding its eyes with a paw, pained by the display.

"Ahem... Keep steady, observe the intricacies, check the environment!" Chen Huaian's weathered face reddened as he hastened to guide their attention.

Concurrently, he expanded the mirror's scope outward.

This broadening transformed the view entirely!

Though Zhang Mengchu's antics stayed absurd, a subtle, enigmatic glow cloaked his frame, merging almost invisibly with the Earth Vein forces.

From him as the core, myriad slender silver strands of refined spiritual power raced outward across the soil underfoot at breakneck pace. Like animated entities, they burrowed into the ground, accurately weaving around the Earth Vein pathways that Chen Niu had violently warped and linked.
