Chapter 1125: Chapter 89: Spare His Life for Now
While Chen Guanshui was being besieged by the Three Immortals outside, Jiang the Witch and the Tai Yin Suming Sword were also being surrounded by the will of the Heavenly Dao inside him.
This will of the Heavenly Dao was not only immortal but also inexhaustible. Even if Jiang the Witch used her Supreme Demon Technique to painstakingly devour a small portion, more will would immediately surge like a massive tide, firmly encircling this Heavenly Demon and Sword Spirit, attempting to completely block their escape route.
Jiang the Witch, utterly annoyed, suddenly asked the Suming Sword:
“Where on earth do these things come from?”
“After the Sword Master succeeded in mending the heavens, these things seemed to penetrate into the Niwan Palace through the Baihui Acupoint at the top of his head like a gale of heavenly tribulation,” answered the Suming Sword. “In no time, they were everywhere.”
“How ridiculous!” Jiang the Witch complained, “Is this person completely defenseless against his Divine Soul? How can he so easily allow such chaotic things to invade?”
The Suming Sword was momentarily speechless, thinking, compared to the will of the Heavenly Dao, aren’t you as the Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon just as bad? The will of the Heavenly Dao at least comes with massive merit and can protect the Sword Master from karmic disturbances and fate. What is your purpose in invading his body? Is it just to communicate marital affection?
Of course, since it now shared the same situation as the other, it would naturally not speak out against, but instead, it reluctantly agreed:
“Indeed, the Sword Master is still too naive. Even if he had set some restrictions in the Sea of Consciousness, it wouldn’t have been so easily breached by the will of the Heavenly Dao.”
Jiang Lian thought the words sounded a bit strange but didn’t dwell on it, continuing:
“After this matter is settled, I’ll have to train him properly, otherwise next time, even without the will of the Heavenly Dao, some other demon witch might invade his Sea of Consciousness, seize his body, which would be quite embarrassing for me.”
At this point, she suddenly frowned and asked:
“Since you are his life-bound sword artifact and have been residing in his body for so long, you should know about his other Daoist companions, right? Qiong Ying, Jiao Xiao, and Dong You, tell me about these three.”
The Suming Sword chuckled and said:
“Kunlun’s Qiong Ying, a noble and virtuous family, has always had smooth sailing on the path of cultivation. Although she is skilled in fire element techniques due to the Phoenix True Blood, her temperament is proud and aloof, and she easily loses composure and anger. To my view, she is not worth worrying about.”
Proud and aloof… Jiang Lian calculated in her mind, people with such a character can be easily demoralized by contempt, thereby creating opportunities.
Not hard to deal with!
“Shushan’s Jiao Xiao, overly aggressive,” the Suming Sword continued its evaluation. “Having been bullied in the sect since young, she developed an extremely irritable and wrathful nature, frequently engaging in fights and bearing grudges. In my view, she is bound to self-destruct.”
Irritable and wrathful… Jiang Lian sneered inwardly. Just agitate her anger with words, and it would disrupt her state of mind, making her easy prey.
It’s quite simple!
“Penglai’s Dong You, known for minor wits,” the Suming Sword feigned a sigh, “I’ve heard she dabbles in art calculation, but her skill in magical combat is too weak, not even reaching the level of a typical Nascent Soul Cultivator, isn’t that ludicrous?”
Weak in power… Jiang Lian understood, this would require no heart-attack technique at all, just a direct assault, devouring her flesh and leaving would suffice.
In this sense, it means the three Daoist companions her husband found outside are all mere paper tigers, killing them would be effortless.
Indeed, in terms of looks and figure, or power and realm, how can even the greatest Human cultivators match up to the Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon?
Thinking of this, Jiang the Witch was in good spirits, smiling as she said:
“I didn’t expect your life-bound sword artifact to have such big talk. In your opinion, are my husband’s three Daoist companions unworthy of him?”
“Before I met Madame, I might not have held such a thought,” the Suming Sword modestly replied. “But after meeting Madame, in my heart, they truly have no hope.”
“A glib tongue indeed!” Jiang Lian squinted her eyes, “But I heard, my husband played the role of that Qing Heng in Shushan, known as the ’Tai Yin Sword Master’, and his life-bound sword artifact is supposedly the Human’s Tai Yin Suming Sword, which I presume is you?”
“Since you are the Human’s clan-guarding Divine Sword, why do you favor me, a heavenly demon? Shouldn’t you naturally despise and reject me?”
“You jest, Madame,” the Suming Sword replied indifferently. “I am indeed the Human’s clan-guarding Divine Sword, but mainly to counter the Demon Race.”
“As for heavenly demons…when I was forged into a sword, Nuwa had long completed mending the heavens. Heavenly demons couldn’t invade the Mortal World at will anymore, so Humans never specifically used me against heavenly demons, where does the hatred come from?”
Jiang Lian recalled carefully and realized the other party wasn’t lying.
Nuwa mended the heavens, Shennong cast cauldrons, and then the Fuxi Dual Swords came into being. In that era, the conflict between Humans and demons was the main theme, so saying the Human’s Divine Sword mainly guarded against demons isn’t far-fetched.
Of course, she didn’t think this Human Divine Sword had no defensive intentions against heavenly demons. It’s probably because both are currently under threat from the will of the Heavenly Dao, forcing a tactful alliance.
But Jiang the Witch didn’t care about the other’s true attitude. She only intended to extract more information from this Sword Spirit to compare and verify with past memories.
“How does my husband evaluate me?”
“Frankly, Madame, you are probably the Sword Master’s true love,” the Suming Sword lied without hesitation, “I see he treats other Daoist companions as just passing fancies.”
“Really?” Jiang the Witch didn’t believe it but couldn’t help feeling delighted inside, “But I’m a heavenly demon.”
“The Sword Master didn’t know that the madam was a Heavenly Demon, did he?” The Tai Yin Suming Sword said slyly, “Besides, knowing she’s a Heavenly Demon and still not fearing or distancing or rejecting her, that’s the best proof of true love, isn’t it?”
“You’re right.” Jiang the Witch repelled the encroaching will of the Heavenly Dao once again, then leisurely said, “In this case, I don’t really need to awaken him.”
“This will of the Heavenly Dao temporarily occupies his shell, just trying to send him to the Immortal Realm. Although his Daoist Companions can’t go with him, according to what you said, my husband wasn’t interested in them anyway.”
“As for me, I’m his only true love, so I can accompany him to the Immortal Realm, can’t I?”
The Tai Yin Suming Sword was taken aback and thought, this kind of direct sabotage really isn’t fun!
If Chen Guanshui really takes you to the Immortal Realm, leaving all the other Daoist Companions in the original world, what fun would that be?
“Pardon my directness.” It reluctantly chuckled, “As the clan-guarding Divine Sword of this world’s Human Race, I can’t go to the Immortal Realm with the Sword Master, so I’ll have to find another Sword Master then…”
“Then go find one!” Jiang Lian said indifferently.
The Tai Yin Suming Sword cursed inwardly, but said out loud:
“In that case, you’ll fall into the plot of the Heavenly Dao.”
“How so?” Jiang Lian asked curiously.
“The reason the will of the Heavenly Dao is in a hurry to send the Sword Master to the Immortal Realm is that after the Sword Master mended the heavens, he gained a massive amount of merit, which, once it protects him, allows him to do as he pleases without repercussions.”
“This precisely violates the taboo of the will of the Heavenly Dao—being rigid and upholding the order of this world, how can it tolerate someone enjoying themselves without restraint? Hence this poor strategy was devised.”
The Tai Yin Suming Sword, having followed Chen Guanshui for so long, had refined its skills of persuasion to perfection, using only the words “doing as he pleases” and “without restraint” to successfully pique Jiang the Witch’s interest.
Right! If my husband is protected by massive merit, he can do whatever he wants in this world without worrying about karmic consequences… The Immortal Realm doesn’t have such benefits!
I must keep my husband in this world to enjoy life with me!
Thinking of this, Jiang Lian indeed had a change of heart and said:
“Since the Heavenly Dao wants to send my husband to the Immortal Realm, it seems better to go against it, lest we fall into the Heavenly Dao’s plot.”
“Exactly.” The Tai Yin Suming Sword said insincerely, “Madam is right, we should quickly find where the Sword Master’s slumbering Divine Sense is.”
“But the meridians leading to the Dantian are all blocked by the will of the Heavenly Dao.” Jiang the Witch frowned and said.
“The will of the Heavenly Dao’s tight guard precisely indicates that the Sword Master’s Divine Sense resides in the Nascent Soul within the Dantian!” The Tai Yin Suming Sword said hastily.
“If that’s the case, then let’s break through.” Jiang the Witch said with a wave of her hand.
They began a forceful charge towards the Dantian, and sure enough, Chen Guanshui’s body paused, forcing the will of the Heavenly Dao to mobilize strength to suppress the “rebellious forces” within.
The Three Immortals, seeing him expose a flaw, quickly shifted from constraint to offensive, forcing the will of the Heavenly Dao to switch from defense to offense again. Otherwise, if Chen Guanshui were to be killed by them, it would indeed be a great joke— a saint saving the world, manipulated by the Heavenly Dao to death, that is so contrary to the rules of cause and effect.
If the will of the Heavenly Dao had its own consciousness, it would have inevitably complained: Who is this person, exactly? I just want to send him to the Immortal Realm, yet so many rush to prevent it at all costs, even the Heavenly Demons side with him!
But the fact is that although Chen Guanshui is very strong, he can’t quickly clear the two rebel consciousnesses within him, and the advanced power on the opposing side had risen to three immortals, making it impossible to rely on martial force to eliminate them in a short period.
Distracted, Jiang the Witch and the Tai Yin Suming Sword eventually found a flaw and broke through the blockades into the Dantian.
In the Dantian, a Nascent Soul slept peacefully, surrounded by the colorful luminescence of virtues, making the Nascent Soul even more radiant and adorable.
For the Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon, this Nascent Soul was the best delicacy, much more delicious than mere flesh and blood.
But Jiang the Witch had no such thoughts, she immediately unleashed her demonic techniques at him.
The Heavenly Demon Divine Ability, cold and vicious, enveloped the Nascent Soul, and Chen Guanshui’s consciousness suddenly felt like it was thrust from a hot spring into an ice cave, forcing him to awaken.
Once he returned to normal, he found that a Heavenly Demon had appeared in his Dantian!
In that instant, he was so shocked that his soul nearly left his body, and instinctively wanted to seek help from the Tai Yin Suming Sword, only to notice the sword right beside the Heavenly Demon.
Hmm?
Isn’t that Madam Jiang?
Chen Guanshui quickly assumed the demeanor of a victim, tearfully exclaiming:
“My wife has indeed come to save me!”
“How dare you let me come save you!” Jiang Lian’s anger surged, she chided furiously.
