Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

Chapter 856.9: The Demon-Locking Tower Returns to Its Place, Bi Yuewu Explores the Refining Mystic Array

When Chen Huaian arrived at the location, two Immortals had already descended.At the same time, Zhang Yibai, Gu Changsheng, Wang Shouyi, and Hua Jin the True One were actually also there. The pressure from the Immortals crashed down like a tsunami. Hua Jin the True One was still okay, barely able to kneel, but Wang Shouyi was directly pressed flat against the ground, unable to move.

Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng found a comfortable position and lay down.

Standing was too conspicuous.

Kneeling was too humiliating.

Lying on their sides alongside Wang Shouyi was not only comfortable but also inconspicuous, killing two birds with one stone.

"What incredibly dense Spiritual Energy! This must be the place where the Celestial Jade Marrow was born, right?"

Bi Yue Wu landed on a relatively intact Demon Sealing Pagoda. He picked up his Array Disk and began calculating, his expression gradually tightening.

Meanwhile, the Immortal Official in charge of the earth element's earth veins, Tu Fu Xing, stood frowning before a Demon Sealing Pagoda that had been severed at its waist. He gently stroked the cross-section of the pagoda's wall, a flicker of shock in his eyes.

"What pure Sword Qi! Since when did the Lower Realm have such a powerful Sword Cultivator? Previous cycles have never seen such a thing..."

"Forget about the Sword Cultivator for now. The Nine Heavens Refining Profound Array is severely damaged. It's not just a simple matter of the Well of Heaven and the Demon Sealing Pagodas being moved. That Chen Niu fellow used a great Divine Ability to alter the course of the dragon veins, which is equivalent to changing the Formation Patterns of the Nine Heavens Refining Profound Array. Now, the array has a broken section. If we don't hurry to repair this break, a great disaster is likely to occur!"

Upon hearing this, Tu Fu Xing's expression changed drastically.

According to Bi Yue Wu, the situation was far more serious than what the Mountain God Shiqing had described.

They originally thought it was just the Formation Core being displaced and the Formation Patterns becoming blurred due to changes in the earth veins.

But now it seemed that Chen Niu had clearly fought until he saw red, actually daring to tamper with the divine land's dragon veins, using the dragon vein power to augment his entire being.

Just what kind of enemy had forced him to such an extreme?

It must be remembered that before the Well of Heaven opened, the world placed restrictions on the cultivation levels of Ascenders.

Under such restrictions, a Demon Immortal avatar of the Divine Joy Emperor like Chen Niu descending should have been the absolute pinnacle of combat power in the Lower Realm.

These questions could perhaps only be answered by the Divine Joy Emperor himself.

However, that Divine Joy Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor were not on the same side, so negotiations were probably impossible.

But these matters were not for lowly Immortal Officials like them to worry about. Before this cycle ended, they just needed to do their own jobs properly.

"It's not too late to mend the fold after the sheep is lost," Bi Yue Wu said to Tu Fu Xing. "The urgent task now is to first return the four Demon Sealing Pagodas to their positions."

Receiving the order, Tu Fu Xing dared not delay.

He took a deep breath, a breath that seemed to draw in the essence of the earth veins from dozens of miles around into his abdomen, making his already robust figure appear to swell even further. At the same time, a faint earthy yellow color shimmered on his body, as if he had suddenly turned into an inflated clay figure.

He didn't perform any flashy incantations, simply slowly crouched down and gently placed his broad, thick palms on the scorched, shattered earth.

"Hummm—" A low hum emanated from deep underground.

Immediately followed by continuous tremors, as if a giant beast slumbering since antiquity had been awakened.

Earthy yellow ripples spread out from Tu Fu Xing's hands in concentric circles, causing the gravel on the ground to jump slightly. Around the four tilted, broken Demon Sealing Pagodas, the soil and rocks seemed to gain life, flowing and reorganizing like water waves.

"Hear my command: Move mountains, shift peaks, return to your rightful places!"

Tu Fu Xing shouted in a low voice, the muscles in his arms bulging as he made a lifting motion.

In that instant, the earth shook and mountains trembled!

It wasn't just the surface that quaked; even the skeletal framework of the earth veins stretching for thousands of miles beneath was groaning under the strain of his divine power.

The first tilted Demon Sealing Pagoda was the first to show movement.

Its massive foundation seemed to be gripped by an invisible giant hand from deep within the earth. Accompanied by a rumbling roar, it was forcibly "pulled" out of the deep rock layers it was embedded in.

Countless shattered rocks and solidified lava peeled off from the pagoda's body.

The pagoda itself didn't fly. Instead, the entire section of crust beneath it carried it, like a giant ship floating on viscous magma, "sliding" toward its original position at a speed that seemed slow but actually covered thousands of miles in an instant.

Wherever it passed, the earth was plowed open into bottomless trenches, with soil and rocks surging and piling up like waves on both sides.

The Demon Sealing Pagoda plowed through the city, countless skyscrapers collapsing upon impact, innumerable mortals losing their lives because of it.

But Tu Fu Xing saw none of this, or perhaps, even if he knew, he wouldn't care in the slightest.

Next came the second, the third...

The fourth, severed pagoda was also enveloped by a gentle yet mighty earth energy.

The broken sections of the two pagoda parts shimmered with an earthy yellow spiritual light, temporarily fused together by Tu Fu Xing's immortal power, returning to position along with the main body.

It seemed like the Demon Sealing Pagodas were simply moved back to their spots, but this also involved repairing the earth veins.

Under the awestruck gazes of Zhang Yibai and the others.

On the distant horizon, the contours of mountain ranges subtly twisted and shifted, the course of rivers seeming to be adjusted by an invisible hand.

The earth energy, like rushing rivers, followed the trajectory of the Demon Sealing Pagodas, reshaping the "logic" of these mountains and rivers.

In less time than it takes to drink a cup of tea, the heart-palpitating roars and tremors gradually subsided.

The four Demon Sealing Pagodas had already vanished from sight—they had been sent back by Tu Fu Xing to the dragon vein nodes they originally guarded, separated by tens of thousands of miles at the very least!

Tu Fu Xing let out a long sigh, beads of sweat faintly visible at his temples. Clearly, this effort had taken a significant toll.

He looked at Bi Yue Wu and nodded slightly. "Mission accomplished, not disgracing the command. The pagodas have been returned to position."

Bi Yue Wu immediately lowered his head to look at the bronze compass in his hand.

He saw that the nine points of starlight representing the core of the Nine Heavens Refining Profound Array at the center of the compass had stabilized, no longer wandering chaotically.

He nodded, his brow still furrowed, his expression not relaxing but instead growing even more grave. "The core is fixed, but the dragon veins are running wild, and the Formation Patterns remain fragmented.

At this moment, the Nine Heavens Refining Profound Array is like a porcelain vessel covered in cracks. With the slightest impact, there is a danger of it shattering completely."

His Divine Sense cautiously probed into the veins of the formation.

In that instant, he saw a scene of chaotic turbulence—countless "mad dragons" formed from a mixture of dense earth energy and resentful, baleful energy, rampaging left and right within the damaged Formation Patterns. They had no reason, only an instinct for destruction and release. Each tumble and collision worsened the already fragile Nine Heavens Refining Profound Array, its spiritual light constantly flickering.

"The dragon veins have already gone berserk. Forcibly correcting them will inevitably incur a Backlash!

Someone needs to enter deep into the Formation Core, pacify the earth energy, and only then can the Formation Patterns be redrawn." Bi Yue Wu withdrew his Divine Sense, his face pale.

What exactly was suppressed within the Nine Heavens Refining Profound Array? Even they, as Heavenly Court Immortal Officials, knew very little.

They only knew it was a remnant from ancient times, exceptionally dangerous.

Rashly entering, forget about pacifying the dragon veins, even preserving one's own true spirit was an unknown.

Tu Fu Xing also wore a troubled expression. "The fortunes within the formation are unpredictable. If our true spirits are damaged here, our foundational roots back in our true bodies would be shaken, ten thousand years of arduous cultivation could be destroyed in an instant..."

The two looked at each other, seeing the hesitation and fear in each other's eyes.

But the Heavenly Emperor's decree still echoed in their ears: "If there is any mishap, you will be held accountable."

They had no way out.

Just then, Bi Yue Wu's gaze swept over Zhang Yibai, Gu Changsheng, Wang Shouyi, and the respectfully kneeling Hua Jin the True One not far away.

A glint of shrewd light flashed in his eyes, a trace of barely noticeable calculation flitting across his thin face.

These Ascenders had decent strength. Since the interior of that Nine Heavens Profound Array was so dangerous, why not use these mortal Cultivators as pathfinding stones?

If there really was some great horror, he and Tu Fu Xing could retreat calmly and go to the Upper Realm to call for reinforcements.

With this thought, he raised a hand and pointed at Hua Jin the True One, issuing an indisputable command. "Since you are Kunlun Cultivators, protecting this world is your inherent duty.

Now that the Nine Heavens Refining Profound Array is damaged and the dragon veins are running wild, someone needs to enter deep into the Formation Core to guide the earth energy and pacify the dragon veins.

This matter concerns all living beings and is also an opportunity for you to atone for your crimes and restore Kunlun's good name!"

Regardless of the details, just heap all sorts of accusations on them first.

Blaming any and all problems on the mortal Cultivators was already their habitual tactic.

However, Hua Jin the True One was, after all, orthodox Kunlun, a subordinate of their Lingxiao Immortal Palace. They still had to give her a little face.

Therefore, Bi Yue Wu's tone softened a bit. His gaze lingered especially on Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng, who appeared to be in "acceptable" condition. He paused before continuing, "Although there are some risks within the Formation Core, it is also a tremendous Opportunity.

If you succeed, the feedback from the earth veins would be enough to greatly advance your cultivation, perhaps even allowing you to glimpse a higher realm.

Well? Are you willing to walk this path for the sake of heaven and earth?!"

Hua Jin the True One's face changed. She knew well that an Immortal's command was not so easy to accept.

But Zhang Yibai, Wang Shouyi, and Gu Changsheng didn't know that!

She was just about to open her mouth to beg for mercy when she was suppressed by an invisible immortal pressure, unable to even speak.

Wang Shouyi was still pressed against the ground, his mind in a daze.

Zhang Yibai and Gu Changsheng exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with urgent warnings.

Could anyone who had lived to their age be a fool?

Clearly, these suddenly descended Immortal Palace officials were up to no good!

Damn it all! They were going to use them as cannon fodder to test the path!
