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

Chapter 152: You Can Also Divine the Heavens?

"I originally thought that senior was exaggerating... but to think my Lingxi Valley actually had a disciple practicing demonic cultivation!"

At Lingxi Valley, Yun Suxin stood at the sect's main square, her delicate face filled with anger. Kneeling before her was a trembling female disciple, her face covered in tears and snot. Around them, the other disciples of Lingxi Valley stood with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe too loudly.

Lingxi Valley strictly prohibited its disciples from forming Dao Companions or developing romantic feelings for opposite-sex cultivators. If caught, severe punishment followed. But compared to cultivating demonic arts, that punishment was nothing. The severity wasn’t even on the same level.

"Spare me, Young Mistress! I was just momentarily bewitched..."

The female disciple didn't dare to meet Yun Suxin's furious gaze. Her body trembled violently, her face a mess.

If she had another chance, she would never have gotten involved with that demonic cultivator.

No matter how handsome, strong, or charming his voice was, no matter how wealthy he seemed—he was still a demonic cultivator. What good could possibly come from that?

Now, she had realized her mistake. She regretted it... but it was too late.

The Soul-Severing Venom was a deadly poison unique to Lingxi Valley.

It wasn’t completely incurable, but it was potent enough to serve as a terrifying deterrent for those who committed capital offenses.

"Wait."

A voice rang out from behind Yun Suxin.

Yun Baiyu stepped forward, her cold gaze sweeping across the crowd before settling on the kneeling disciple. She spoke indifferently, "Destroy your own dantian. Considering your decade-long service to Lingxi Valley with no prior offenses, I will allow you to remain as a servant disciple, tending to the herb gardens."

Hearing this, the female disciple felt as if she had been granted a divine pardon. She kowtowed repeatedly, crying, "Thank you, Valley Master! Thank you for your mercy!"

At this point, simply surviving was a blessing.

What did cultivation even matter anymore?

At least within Lingxi Valley, there was an abundance of Spiritual Qi and medicinal herbs. It was still far better than becoming a powerless mortal at the mercy of fate.

...

"Mother, you made me play the bad guy again today!"

At the back mountain of Lingxi Valley, Yun Suxin had completely dropped her fierce persona. She clung to Yun Baiyu’s arm like a koala, pouting.

Yun Baiyu chuckled, gently patting her daughter's head to comfort her. "One day, you’ll inherit Lingxi Valley. You need to establish your authority early on."

"I refuse. Lingxi Valley is yours to manage... forever. A thousand years, ten thousand years, it's all yours."

Yun Baiyu smiled bitterly in her heart, knowing this wasn’t an argument she could win.

So she changed the subject. "Good thing that senior had Sect Master Su warn us. Otherwise, we’d still be in the dark. The way this demonic cultivation technique conceals itself is truly frightening. If not for using the Heart-Mirror Artifact, we might not have discovered it until disaster struck."

Normally, whenever the Sword Pavilion's Grand Elder was mentioned, Yun Suxin would argue stubbornly.

But today, she remained uncharacteristically quiet.

With the Zhongzhou Secret Realm about to open, some demonic cultivators had intentionally spread demonic techniques within sects... Their malicious intent was obvious. If not for the Sword Pavilion’s warning, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Suxin, go notify the other sects. Warn them and urge them to investigate their own disciples immediately," Yun Baiyu instructed seriously. "Sect Master Su may be highly respected, but many sects might not take his words seriously."

"Hehe, you're right, Mother. Who would believe that bandit leader Su Qinian? Only our Lingxi Valley can be trusted~"

Yun Suxin giggled as she imagined how the other sects must have dismissed Su Qinian’s warnings. Humming happily, she grabbed the communication jade slips to contact them.

Yun Baiyu watched her daughter hop away, her eyes filled with warmth and reluctance.

The stabbing pain in her chest and meridians served as a constant reminder...

She didn’t have much time left.

...

Lingxi Valley and the Pill Sect almost simultaneously announced that they had uncovered disciples practicing demonic cultivation.

The moment the news spread, the entire Cangyun Realm erupted in chaos.

Those sects that had ignored Su Qinian’s warnings immediately began emergency investigations.

Soon, word spread from the Pill Sect that the demonic technique was incredibly subtle and easy to hide. This prompted various sects to rush to purchase the Pill Sect’s newly developed Demon-Revealing Pills for their disciples.

Within days, a wave of demonic cultivators hidden among the sects was exposed. Furious sect leaders ordered a massive purge. Unfortunately, most sects couldn’t even catch a single demon—many had already vanished without a trace.

Qingyun Sect also purchased a batch of Demon-Revealing Pills.

Sect Master Wu Duantian distributed the pills to the peak elders, ordering them to conduct inspections.

At Chixiao Peak, Daoist Qingxuan handed the pills to Lu Changtian.

"I don’t believe our Qingyun Sect has any demonic cultivators... especially not on Chixiao Peak. But since it’s an order from the Sect Master, just have everyone take the pills under your supervision."

"Lu Changtian, I’ll leave this to you," Qingxuan said casually before walking away, not bothering to oversee the process himself.

As Lu Changtian was about to distribute the pills, Mu Baishuang suddenly stepped forward and snatched them from his hands, giggling.

"Hey, little junior sister, you—"

"Senior brother, I heard that the Pill Sect’s pills are the best in Cangyun Realm. Unless the Holy Lands or the Void Abyss intervene, their pills are unrivaled. I was just curious to take a look~ Why are you being so mean?"

Mu Baishuang pouted, feigning grievance.

The three other disciples of Chixiao Peak immediately chimed in.

"Senior brother, just let junior sister take a look. It’s no big deal."

"Yeah, even if she throws them away, I, Xiao Yifeng, can refine an even better batch in no time!"

"Senior brother, junior sister clings to you all the time. Why are you being so strict with her?"

Under their combined pressure, Lu Changtian was left speechless.

Fortunately, Mu Baishuang only examined the pills for a while before returning them.

"Here, you stingy senior brother! Hmph, these Demon-Revealing Pills are nothing special. They don’t even compare to second senior brother’s alchemy skills~"

Hearing this, Xiao Yifeng beamed with pride, immediately praising Mu Baishuang for her discerning taste.

Lu Changtian, still focused on keeping order, failed to notice that the pills in his hand had been switched.

An hour later...

Qingyun Sect held an emergency assembly.

Three disciples who had cultivated demonic arts were exposed. After failing to provide information about the demonic sect’s whereabouts, they were executed on the spot.

Throughout the entire sect meeting, Daoist Qingxuan kept his eyes closed, looking detached from the situation.

Why?

Because Chixiao Peak remained completely clean—no demonic cultivators among them. Everything was normal.

...

"Young Master, many of our pieces have been exposed. What should we do next?"

In a secluded spiritual field outside Qingyun Sect...

Mu Baishuang stared at the mirror in front of her, her expression serious.

Within the mirror was a blood-red pool. Sitting in the center was a towering man with cascading crimson hair. His features were striking, exuding an otherworldly allure. Even with his eyes closed, his presence was mesmerizing.

Mu Baishuang’s gaze grew increasingly heated.

Her breathing quickened, her hands unconsciously sliding toward her thigh.

Suddenly, the man in the blood pool opened his eyes.

A surge of demonic energy erupted. His long crimson hair billowed wildly, and the blood around him churned violently with his breath.

A sinister gleam flashed in his red eyes as he sneered coldly.

"Hmph! I’d like to see who dares interfere with my Heavenly Demon Sect’s plans!"

With that, he lifted his gaze skyward.

His crimson pupils glowed with a sinister light, piercing into the heavens...

He began divining the secrets of fate.
