Jiang Chuan glanced at Lu Chenling, gritted his teeth, and answered, "Senior Divine Calculator said that if I came to the Underground Abyss, I would gain a stroke of fortune and meet my future Dao companion, the Seven Kill Demoness Lu Chenling."
At that moment, Jiang Chuan had already prepared himself to be slapped to death by Suxin, or cleaved in two by Lu Chenling's sword.
"Dao companion."
Lu Chenling froze for a moment.
Before Lu Chenling could speak, Gong Suxin's voice rang out.
"I approve of this marriage."
"Is the Vice Palace Mistress of Taixu Immortal Palace really this easy to fool?!"
Jiang Chuan was both shocked and delighted. He had not held much hope himself.
Yet unexpectedly, Gong Suxin had actually been fooled by him.
"Mother, I have not even reached the age for my hairpin ceremony. How can I marry?" Lu Chenling pouted, clearly displeased.
"Senior Divine Calculator must have seen through the plans of Taixu Immortal Palace and the Seven Kill Demonic Sect, which was why he guided Jiang Chuan here to find you."
Gong Suxin took Lu Chenling's soft hand and said gently, "Since that is the case, your father and I naturally cannot let down Senior Divine Calculator's goodwill."
The plans of Taixu Immortal Palace and the Seven Kill Demonic Sect?
Jiang Chuan's eyes widened, stormy waves crashing through his heart.
What was going on here?!
Hadn't it been said that, apart from the Immortal Dao, everything in the Qingyuan Realm was evil demon and Outer Dao?
How had Taixu Immortal Palace, one of the Seven Immortal Dao Sects, joined hands with the Seven Kill Demonic Sect, one of the six demonic sects?!
"If Taixu Immortal Palace and the Seven Kill Demonic Sect have joined forces, they must be plotting something earthshaking. Gong Suxin must have mistaken me for a chess piece sent by Divine Calculator to aid them."
Having figured it out, Jiang Chuan grew even more flustered.
Because he truly was not one of Divine Calculator's chess pieces.
If his identity as a counterfeit chess piece were exposed, it would already be good fortune if Gong Suxin merely sent him into reincarnation.
"Good thing this is only a simulation, good thing this is only a simulation." Thinking this, Jiang Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, your daughter will not marry. Father said the future is uncertain. How could that senior called Divine Calculator be certain that Jiang Chuan is destined to be my Dao companion?" Lu Chenling pouted, clearly displeased.
Gong Suxin nodded lightly. "The future is indeed uncertain, so your mother made another calculation just now."
"Mother, did your calculation also show that Fellow Daoist Jiang is my future Dao companion?" Lu Chenling asked.
"Could it be that I guessed right with a casual remark? Is my future self really some towering figure of the demonic path?" Jiang Chuan wondered inwardly.
Gong Suxin answered, "No. My calculation showed that Jiang Chuan should spend his future constantly accompanying blue lamps and ancient Buddhas."
Jiang Chuan: "."
Thank you for making that calculation for me.
I wish your whole family a lifetime with blue lamps and ancient Buddhas.
"The current Jiang Chuan should not have appeared in the Underground Abyss either. He should be at Bodhi Temple doing menial chores."
"Yet Fellow Daoist Jiang appeared in the Underground Abyss."
A trace of astonishment surfaced in Lu Chenling's voice, and a hint of scrutiny appeared in her eyes.
"So I speculate that Jiang Chuan is a person blessed with immense fortune. Factors such as fortune and fate can all affect heavenly calculations of destiny, causing me to be unable to calculate the future correctly."
Hearing Gong Suxin's words, Jiang Chuan dearly wanted to say that Senior Gong Suxin had not actually calculated wrongly.
If not for the Love Brain Simulator cheat—
He would most likely still be doing chores at Bodhi Temple.
"Therefore, after much consideration, your mother chooses to trust Senior Divine Calculator."
As Gong Suxin spoke, a golden book appeared out of thin air in her hand.
"Jiang Chuan, you are Chen'er's Dao companion, which makes you my future son-in-law. Then you cannot read the Void Devouring Scripture for nothing. This Supreme Yang Limitless Body is an inheritance I obtained in my younger days, and I shall give it to you."
"Thank you, Senior Gong."
After Jiang Chuan respectfully accepted the Supreme Yang Limitless Body, he swept it with his Divine Sense, and delight appeared on his face.
The power of this Supreme Yang Limitless Body far exceeded his expectations!
The Supreme Yang Limitless Body was divided into three great realms: Supreme Yang, Extreme Yang, and Limitless.
They corresponded respectively to Treasure Artifacts, Dao Artifacts, and the legendary Immortal Artifacts!
At the early stage of the Supreme Yang Realm, one's physical body would already be comparable to a Low-grade Treasure Artifact.
Once one cultivated it to the supreme Limitless Realm—
The physical body could rival an Immortal Artifact, capable of destroying stars and sun, shattering the void with a wave of one's hand!
Judging from this scripture alone, its value was in no way inferior to the Void Devouring Scripture!
It was even more valuable than the Void Devouring Scripture because body-tempering techniques were so scarce!
After noticing that the Ruyi Heart Sutra was connected to the great opportunity soon to emerge in the Underground Abyss, Gong Suxin tore through the void with you and Lu Chenling, arriving before a gorge thirty thousand li away in the blink of an eye.
The Ruyi Heart Sutra in your hand seemed to come alive, bursting forth with dazzling golden light.
Gong Suxin directly poured her mana into the Ruyi Heart Sutra. Like a golden sun, it released brilliant radiance that tore through the void.
A corner of a vast world was revealed, and an ancient, desolate aura came howling out.
Sensing a great expert approaching, Gong Suxin sent you inside and instructed you to quickly gather treasures and inheritances.
Taixu Immortal Light roared from Gong Suxin's fingertips, blotting out the sky and sun as it blocked cultivators seeking to enter the Cave Heaven World and seize its treasures and inheritances.
You and Lu Chenling entered the Cave Heaven World and headed straight for a mountain at the center of the world, covered in palaces. You landed before one of them.
The palace was ancient and imposing, paved with jade. Protected by formations, the jade remained smooth and pristine, unstained by even a speck of dust.
As you entered the palace, the first thing you saw was a five-meter-tall bronze alchemy furnace.
Lu Chenling gave it a simple appraisal, regret showing on her face.
"What a pity. This Treasure Grade Alchemy Furnace has suffered the erosion of time. Its formations have worn away, and more than eighty percent of the spiritual materials' essence has been lost."
Jiang Chuan sighed. "What a pity."
To cultivators, pills were like grain to mortals.
They could not only increase cultivation, but also condense mana and strengthen one's vital blood.
For a cultivator, possessing an alchemy furnace was undoubtedly an enormous aid.
The spiritual materials needed to forge one alchemy furnace were enough to forge ten, even dozens, of flying swords.
Therefore, not to mention Fourth Realm cultivators, even many Fifth and Sixth Realm cultivators did not possess a Treasure Grade Alchemy Furnace.
"Fortunately, it is not as though we gained nothing."
Jiang Chuan walked to the furnace and picked up the book on the jade platform before it, bearing the words Jade Liquid Elixir Canon.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Jiang Chuan's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the dozens of pill formulas recorded within the Jade Liquid Elixir Canon.
"The Pill Room has always posted missions in the External Affairs Hall to collect ancient pill formulas. The dozens of formulas in the Jade Liquid Elixir Canon are enough for me to exchange for many treasures and Spirit Stones."
He had gained so much from a single palace that Jiang Chuan could hardly wait to head for the next one.
Clang!
Just as Jiang Chuan placed the Jade Liquid Elixir Canon into his storage bag and prepared to leave with Lu Chenling, a chilling saber cry suddenly rang out behind him.
"Has Senior Gong been defeated so quickly?"
As Jiang Chuan's thoughts raced, he gripped the Jadeite Saber and slashed out as well.
Demon Slaying Saber!
The blood-red saber light seemed condensed from the blood of ten thousand living beings, radiating a soul-chilling cold.
In the next moment, beneath Jiang Chuan's gaze, the two streaks of blood-red saber light collided.
Before you continue
