Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 814: The Wells of Heaven Fully Open, Hua Jin Breaks Through

Previously on Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?...
Chen Huaian, as the Ancestral Dragon, commanded the ancient Fierce Beast Zhu Huai to separate his souls, directing the seven corporeal ones to fuse with Taotie's demonic soul within the Purple Gold Gourd to hasten its resurrection, while the three ethereal souls suppressed the opening of the Well of Heaven. He erected a mysterious sword formation around the Demon Sealing Pagoda to shield the process from heavenly detection, buying time against the impending convergence of the nine Wells. As Taotie burst forth in a surge of ferocious power, absorbing rampant spiritual energy, Zhu Huai's ethereal souls shattered under the well's violent eruption, unleashing a pillar of qi that ignited the other eight Wells. Nine spiritual dragons intertwined in the sky, plunging the heavens into an abyssal darkness as great changes swept the world.

"Opened! They're finally all open!"

Hua Jin the True One stared up at the nine radiant pillars supporting the heavens, her gaze exploding with sheer delight and rapture.

Senior Chen was indeed the fortune she had earned through eight lifetimes of cultivation.

Every one of the nine Wells of Heaven stood fully unlocked now.

The restrictions and seals imposed on her cultivation by the laws of the world lifted once again.

Boom—! An intense pulling force erupted from her position, radiating outward and drawing in the pure True Essence filling the space between sky and earth. Within seconds, a massive swirling maelstrom of True Essence gathered around her form.

Hua Jin the True One hungrily absorbed every bit of this True Essence.

Her inner realm and aura surged in response, growing ever more powerful.

"Break—!"

With her hands forming a seal, she bellowed softly.

The entire surroundings trembled fiercely as her cultivation surged higher, pushing straight into the mid-stage of the Feathered Transformation Realm.

Behind her, phantom-like feathers in vibrant hues and crystalline clarity appeared, as though cloaking her in a stunning array of phoenix feathers—yet this breakthrough was far from over.

She kept pulling in more True Essence.

Her figure turned into what seemed like an enormous void, devouring endless quantities of True Essence without limit.

"Break for me again!"

Pop—! Late-stage Feathered Transformation.

"Break again!"

Pop—! Feathered Transformation Grand Completion.

Feathered Transformation Grand Completion marked the peak of her cultivation in the prior reincarnation cycle.

In the past, whenever she reincarnated and the nine Wells of Heaven fully activated, the full cultivation from her previous life would pour into her anew.

Because of this, with every reincarnation, her strength edged a little further than before, inching her nearer to grasping the Dao and achieving immortality.

Yet in this reincarnation, those sword cultivators dubbed 'the variable' had pressed her relentlessly. Driven by vengeance and the scramble for resources, she'd rushed to unlock the Wells of Heaven far too soon. As a result, this cycle lacked the necessary buildup; actually, compared to earlier ones, the Wells had opened a full century earlier than planned.

This rushed pace left her just short of attaining the Dao and ascending to immortality.

On top of that, all beings across Earth Star had been flooded with thick True Essence against their natural pace. They'd skipped the usual three phases of Spiritual Revival entirely, leaping almost straight from the second stage to the ultimate one. Long before they could fully develop, this realm was on the verge of linking up with the gods and buddhas of myriad realms.

But Hua Jin the True One pushed such concerns aside for the moment.

Her top priority remained the supreme Celestial Jade Marrow!

"Boundless Myriad Worlds! For This Venerable One, open—!"

Normally, Hua Jin the True One would require a substantial amount of time to cultivate a small world seed with a suitable core.

However, as her cultivation flooded into the late-stage Feathered Transformation Realm, the vivid green sprout spinning in her palms grew and ripened right before their eyes.

Once its foliage turned utterly transparent and its stems and roots grew sturdy and thick, a brilliant, sheer emerald glow burst forth from Hua Jin the True One at its heart.

This glow engulfed the four Demon Sealing Pagodas, engulfed Lin Fan who stood atop Chen Niu's avatar, engulfed the weakly gasping Chen Niu avatar, engulfed the stunned Zhang Mengchu staring skyward, the Kunlun Immortal Palace disciples, and even the other Ascenders who had fled as far as they could yet still fell within its reach.

The whole world shifted to a deep emerald tint.

Crack—!

Noises resembling ice forming crackled through the air. The glow slowly dimmed.

And the scene unfolding before them had transformed entirely.

This realm consisted purely of lush vegetation and endless woodlands.

Everywhere one looked, vivid green expanses rolled out to the distant skyline. As fierce winds swept through, the woodland turned into surging waves of green.

Hua Jin the True One floated high above, positioned right in the middle of this 'fresh world', gazing down upon them all like a divine sovereign.

Her clothing had shifted from the simple white gown of earlier to garments crafted from woven leaves and vines. A thorny circlet adorned her brow, and she gripped an upside-down staff of flora almost matching her height. At her back, countless roots twisted into a multitude of limbs, portraying her as a nature-ruling thousand-armed Guanyin.

"I... what in the world!" Wang Shouyi stood completely stunned, beholding Hua Jin the True One's majestic form.

"Jinjin, so beautiful!"

His words came out in a faint whisper, scarcely audible.

Yet within Hua Jin the True One's domain, nothing escaped her notice—every action, every whisper from those inside.

At once, her delicate features turned crimson, the regal detachment on her expression nearly shattering. She couldn't resist casting several annoyed looks toward Wang Shouyi.

"The situation has become a bit tricky..." Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng perched on enormous lotus pads—these were exclusive spots Hua Jin the True One had prepared for them, though they shifted restlessly, as if sitting on thorns.

"Ancestor... Old Zhang, can you tell what level of power Hua Jin the True One has reached now?"

Gu Changsheng gulped nervously, sending his thoughts to Zhang Yibai through Divine Sense.

"Hiss—! This girl is way too intense. Who boosts their power in such a rush? If this old man's feeling is right, she's likely surpassed the Great Ascension Second Tribulation... How on earth are Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu going to handle this!"

Zhang Yibai kept a bright smile on his face outwardly, but inside, he was raging silently.

Regardless of how formidable Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu's fighting abilities were, they lingered only at late-stage Void Shattering Realm.

Lin Fan had freshly triumphed over Chen Niu's avatar, advancing mid-battle—not just reaching Void Fusion Grand Completion but also brushing against the Great Ascension threshold, establishing him as a true half-step Great Ascension. Still, the cultivation divide between him and Hua Jin the True One loomed enormously.

Beyond Great Ascension, every tribulation represented a separate realm entirely.

No amount of skills would matter if they couldn't first break free from Hua Jin the True One's World.

Though Hua Jin the True One's World appeared rough and basic next to the refined small worlds of Cangyun Realm experts, it shared the same essence. Backed by her superior cultivation, it could overwhelm their own small worlds through rule enforcement. Under those conditions, they held no edge.

"What should we do? We can't just sit by while Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu get effortlessly crushed by Hua Jin the True One, right?"

While they discussed, Hua Jin the True One had descended through the skies to hover over Lin Fan, Chen Niu's avatar, and Zhang Mengchu.

She retained a playful, toying mindset for the moment. After enduring such brutal oppression, why settle for a quick end when she could savor their downfall?

"Not a big problem." Zhang Yibai twirled his beard and nodded steadily.

"The Ancestor must have anticipated this turn of events ages ago. Lin Fan and Zhang Mengchu shouldn't face true peril. It's just...

The supreme Celestial Jade Marrow that follows will probably end up in Hua Jin the True One's hands.

We'll have to look for an opening to sweet-talk those premium Celestial Jade fragments out of Hua Jin the True One..."

By now, Zhang Yibai was already scheming ways to deceive Hua Jin the True One.

And high above the fray, Hua Jin the True One truly indulged in her mischievous whims.

She peered down with a malicious glare at Lin Fan and his companions, pinned in place by her World's laws, and unleashed a string of chilling chuckles.

"This Venerable One said I would settle accounts with you after the autumn harvest. It's not that I wasn't going to, the time just hadn't come!"

"Now—" Her fingers clenched in a gripping motion. Whether Lin Fan, Zhang Mengchu, or Chen Niu's avatar, all found themselves ensnared firmly by twisting plant roots.

"You may now speak your last words!"
