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

Chapter 895: Mysterious Immortal Mountain

A suddenly appearing Immortal Mountain.Upon it, there is an aura of Laws completely abnormal compared to Earth Star.

Such an anomaly had never appeared in the previous hundreds of cycles of reincarnation.

Taishang Laojun narrowed his eyes as he gazed at that Immortal Mountain, then a glint of delight flowed in the depths of his eyes:

"Could it be that this is the variable my master has been seeking all along?"

The Immortal Mountain stood towering and majestic, with clouds and mist swirling around it. One could vaguely see verdant, layered peaks and ridges upon it, Spiritual Trees and Spiritual Herbs lush and luxuriant. Everything exuded a vibrant vitality, completely different from the lifeless, stagnant environment of Earth Star.

Within the mountains, Flying Birds and Running Beasts moved about. The forms of those living beings and demonic beasts bore similarities to the demonic beasts of Earth Star: three-tailed red foxes leaped through the forests, Peng birds with wings shimmering with a metallic luster soared across the sky, and strange beasts covered in scales with a single horn on their heads drank water by the streams.

These living beings were not illusions.

When they noticed the world outside the Immortal Mountain, the curiosity and fear that surfaced in their eyes were genuine.

Taishang Laojun clearly saw a spiritual beast resembling a qilin but with a pair of wings, cautiously pricking up its ears and letting out a low, rumbling growl towards his direction. The roar was mixed with confusion and warning.

On the mountainside, the outlines of ancient ruins could vaguely be seen.

Though the pavilions and terraces were already dilapidated, one could still glimpse their former glory.

The architectural style was also very similar to that of Earth Star's cultivation civilization. The runes carved on the pillars and corridors flowed with a faint golden light, as if narrating mysteries from another world.

"Whether it's real or illusory, this old Taoist will find out by probing it!"

Taishang Laojun murmured to himself, his thoughts stirring.

He extended a finger, and the ten-thousand-zhang Law Manifestation behind him simultaneously raised its palm.

A sky-propping giant palm, carrying the power to tear through the void, slowly pressed towards the Immortal Mountain.

Boom—!

Wherever the palm wind passed, space cracked inch by inch, revealing pitch-black void rifts.

However, just as the giant palm was about to touch the edge of the Immortal Mountain—

An invisible barrier suddenly manifested, with countless faint golden runes flowing across its surface.

Two of those runes suddenly coalesced together before the palm wind could land.

Then—

Swoosh!

A streak of faint golden Sword Qi erupted from the runes, instantly slashing onto the Law Manifestation's palm.

Crack!

That Law Manifestation's palm was as if cut by the sharpest blade in the world. All five fingers were severed cleanly at the root, transforming into specks of golden light that dissipated into the air. The severed surface was smooth as a mirror, without even a trace of resistance left behind.

Seeing this, the gathered Immortals all exclaimed in shock.

Laojun was an existence at the Sage level, long impervious to all Dao, yet there was Sword Qi capable of severing his Law Manifestation?

What exactly was the origin of this Immortal Mountain?

Taishang Laojun's pupils also contracted slightly, but he refused to believe it was beyond his power.

He formed hand seals with both hands, invoking the Dao Rhythms of Heaven and Earth. Instantly, a massive millstone condensed within the void—bearing the light of heaven above and connecting to the principles of earth below, the Dual Energies of Yin and Yang circulated within it, emitting a deep, thunderous rumble.

This "Heaven and Earth Millstone" was something he had created through his comprehension of the Laws of the Cycle of Reincarnation, and it was also the killing move meant to obliterate Chen Huaian.

Boom—!

The millstone slowly pressed down. Wherever it passed, rules disintegrated, and all things returned to nothingness.

Yet the Immortal Mountain remained unmoved, towering as ever.

That faint golden barrier didn't even ripple. The moment the Heaven and Earth Millstone touched the barrier, it melted away silently like snow meeting the sun, with even the Dao Rhythms contained within it being completely devoured.

"This..."

"How could this be!"

The Immortals of Lingxiao were dumbfounded.

Unknown fear spread through the crowd.

Though Taishang Laojun's expression remained calm, waves of turmoil had already risen in his heart.

He turned to look at Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian, who had been quietly observing all along: "Haotian, this mountain is bizarre. Please assist this old Taoist in testing it."

Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian nodded slightly, raising his hand and making a grasping motion towards the horizon.

In an instant, the entire sky of Earth Star darkened for a moment—a wisp of the essence of the high-hanging great sun's True Fire was actually torn away by him. The flames condensed, compressed, and took shape in his palm, ultimately forming a flame-spear that pierced through heaven and earth. The spear tip burned with blazing white flames intense enough to incinerate stars.

"Go."

The spear shot through the void, smashing towards the Immortal Mountain together with the re-condensed Heaven and Earth Millstone.

This time, two forces of might sufficient to grievously wound a major world erupted simultaneously, their light illuminating the entire Earth Star.

However—

The Immortal Mountain remained.

The barrier remained.

Even the spiritual beasts within the mountains seemed accustomed to such commotion. They merely glanced up before continuing with their respective duties.

Taishang Laojun and Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian exchanged a look, both seeing gravity in each other's eyes.

Neither dared to act recklessly again. They simply hovered in the void, quietly observing.

Right at that moment, the Immortal Mountain suddenly underwent a change.

More faint golden, ancient runes emerged from various parts of the mountain body. They were not static but moved, combined, and wove together like living things, ultimately forming a massive barrier that covered the entire Immortal Mountain.

Taishang Laojun sat cross-legged in the void, his eyes slightly closed. Divine Sense extended out like threads, attempting to entangle one of the relatively simpler runes, slowly refining and interpreting it with the power of heaven and earth. Time passed minute by minute, and fine beads of sweat actually appeared on his temples—something almost unimaginable for an existence like him.

Three days and three nights later, Taishang Laojun finally opened his eyes, a flash of comprehension and astonishment passing through them.

"This mountain... is a singularity of spatial folding," his voice carried a slight tremor, hard to tell whether it was fear or excitement, "It is linked to another, completely different world. What's even more peculiar is that this barrier has a spirit—it has set restrictions: those at the Immortal realm and above cannot enter!"

He stood up and looked at Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian: "This old Taoist must personally go to the Endless Void to report this matter to my master.

Although this Immortal Mountain cannot be taken by force, within it... perhaps lies the great opportunity my master has long sought."

Having said that, Taishang Laojun's figure gradually faded, transforming into a wisp of green smoke that dissipated into the void.

Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian stood alone in the sky, looking down upon the Earth Star below, ravaged and scarred by the heavenly calamities.

He was originally indifferent to the suffering of all living beings, but at this moment, these billions of lives suddenly had a use.

Since they were useful, then let them live.

He slowly raised his hand, making a grasping motion in the empty air.

Hum—!

Heaven and earth trembled. The rules of Earth Star, thrown into chaos by the piercing of the Heaven and Earth Millstone, were forcibly restored to order.

The storm's eye that had raged for a hundred years over the Eastern Sea suddenly calmed, the towering waves transforming into gentle ripples. The melting of the ten-thousand-mile ice plains in the north stopped, and the previously rising temperatures immediately returned to normal. The volcanoes in the south ceased erupting. In the central plains, the cracked fields were moistened by sweet rain, and the withered crops visibly turned green again and sprouted ears.

The original apocalypse ended in an instant, as if a pause button had been pressed.

Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian's voice boomed like a great bell, resounding through every corner of Earth Star, reaching the ears of every Ascender and living being: "An Immortal Mountain has descended to the world, containing opportunities within. All Cultivators below the Tribulation Transcendence stage may go to explore it. Led by the Kunlun Immortal Palace, each Ascender sect must dispatch elite disciples into the mountain to uncover its mysteries."

His gaze pierced through the clouds, falling upon a Paradise-like Cave suffused with Spiritual Energy:

"Hua Jin the True One, I command you to lead the Cultivators of the Kunlun Immortal Palace. Within three months, enter the Immortal Mountain and explore its secrets. This is the Mandate of Heaven, not to be defied."

As the voice gradually faded, Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian's figure also vanished from sight.

With Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian gone, the Immortals of Lingxiao naturally did not linger either. They all followed, returning to the heights above the Nine Heavens.

Amidst the humming of heaven and earth, the Gate of Heaven closed. The entire sky became clear and azure.

Only that mysterious Immortal Mountain remained, quietly suspended. The faint golden barrier flowed endlessly, as if quietly waiting for something...
