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

Chapter 906: The Means of Transformation

…"Big Sister Little Rabbit, don't believe her! She's a demon, a liar!"

"How could a demon who slaughters our kind ever be good for us?"

What Chen Huaian had brought out was a bit too exaggerated.

The Jadewater Jiao and the Purple-Gold Flame Bear had only heard about it and hadn't personally experienced it like Little Rabbit had, so their first reaction was disbelief.

"Silence!"

A sharp, feminine shout cut off the roars of the Jadewater Jiao and the Purple-Gold Flame Bear.

Little Rabbit's eyes snapped open, her previously gentle and fragile aura transforming abruptly in that instant.

A vast, ancient presence, one that had never before appeared in this world, erupted from within her.

It was Demonic Energy.

Though only a wisp, it was so domineering that it caused the flowing Battle Energy around them to congeal and stagnate.

She was originally the big sister boss of the Jadewater Jiao and the Purple-Gold Flame Bear.

As a World Beast, her strength far surpassed theirs; these two were little brothers she had beaten into submission and taken under her wing.

Now, with her Demonic Energy and her big sister boss aura on full display,

the Jadewater Jiao and the Purple-Gold Flame Bear immediately dared not speak.

"This is not a trick…"

Little Rabbit looked at her own hands, her eyes filled with shock and elation.

"This, this is… a new life!"

Merely circulating that scripture's method for one complete cycle,

she felt the bloodline Constraints that had plagued her for tens of thousands of years begin to loosen.

This kind of power was at least a hundred times more profound than the crude Battle Power!

"Senior," Little Rabbit raised her head, her gaze burning as she stared at Chen Huaian, "Why… why does this cultivation method only need to be practiced to the third layer to allow a World Beast to perfectly transform?"

"Is that difficult?"

Chen Huaian raised an eyebrow, his tone matter-of-fact.

"Your so-called transformation relies on grinding through time, using clumsy methods to force it through."

"But this 'Heavenly Demon Body Refinement Chapter' seizes the Fortune of heaven and earth, defies the balance of yin and yang and the five elements.

Applying the Laws of heaven and earth to the body, reshaping the physical form is merely a matter of going with the flow."

"If it weren't for seeing how difficult cultivation is for you World Beasts, This Venerable One would not casually give away such a 'good thing'."

Chen Huaian wasn't deceiving Little Rabbit about this.

In his view, the World Beasts of this world were simply living in torment.

Alive, they were to be killed; dead, their World Rings and World Bones were to be taken.

The key point was how difficult it was for them to become deities, and they even needed to transform to achieve it.

Although the demons of the Cangyun Realm were also a resource pool for great Cultivators, their path to becoming Demon Immortals and the human Cultivators' path to ascension were fair. There were no obstacles based on whether one had a human or demon body.

He strongly suspected that the limitations on World Beasts were deliberately set by the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings to protect their own positions, including the severe antagonism between Battle Masters and World Beasts, all to consolidate their status as deities.

After all, only when those below are locked in mortal combat can those above sit securely on their thrones.

"Transformation… is it really that simple?"

The Jadewater Jiao and the Purple-Gold Flame Bear were dumbfounded.

For that human form, they had endured bitterly for a hundred thousand years, even prepared to disperse their lifetime of cultivation and start over from scratch. And now someone was telling them: no need to wait, no need to disperse your power, you can change immediately?

"Since that's the case…"

Chen Huaian's gaze swept over the three beasts, like a demon presenting a contract:

"This Venerable One offers you a deal."

"I will help you transform immediately, preserving your core power, and even allow you to freely switch between human and beast forms in the future. I will ensure you do not die, though you will be weakened for a period."

"The price is, to peel off and hand over to This Venerable One those cumbersome World Rings and World Bones on your bodies."

"Do you accept?"

Silence fell upon the group.

Bixixi hadn't quite understood from the start, and now she was even more confused.

Peeling off World Rings and World Bones and still not dying?

Utterly unheard of.

"I… I want to try!" Little Rabbit gritted her teeth and stepped forward.

"No! Big Sister Little Rabbit!"

The Purple-Gold Flame Bear and the Jadewater Jiao roared simultaneously,

their massive bodies moving to block Little Rabbit, firmly shielding her.

"Humans are not to be trusted! What if he ruins your cultivation?!"

"So noisy."

Chen Huaian frowned, the patience in his eyes completely spent.

"All this dawdling, so much pointless talk."

Boom!

His figure flashed. Ignoring Little Rabbit, he appeared directly before the massive form of the Purple-Gold Flame Bear.

Before the hundred-meter-tall giant beast, Chen Huaian looked as small as a child.

But he merely stretched out a hand casually and, through the air, grabbed hold of the Purple-Gold Flame Bear's thick fur.

"Come… to This Venerable One!"

Whoosh—

Under the horrified gazes of everyone,

that giant bear weighing tens of thousands of tons was lifted into the air like a ragdoll by Chen Huaian's single hand, tracing a parabolic arc through the air before crashing down heavily in front of the Medicine Battle Master.

Boom!

The earth trembled.

The Medicine Battle Master looked at the mountain of flesh before him, swallowed hard, his legs shaking like leaves: "S-sir… what, what do you wish to do?"

"Nothing much. You just need to take out what This Venerable One wants." Chen Huaian's expression was indifferent as he lightly parted his lips: "Life-Transforming Grass, Bone-Continuing Flower, Crimson Blood Vine, Twin Moon Orchid Fragrance…"

These were all herbs he had glanced over and memorized from the Medicine Battle Master's collection earlier.

Though the names were a bit rustic, their Medicinal Properties would barely suffice.

"Yes! I have them all!"

How dare the Medicine Battle Master delay? Trembling, he began pulling items from his Storage Ring, soon piling them into a small hill.

"Very good."

Looking at those herbs, Chen Huaian did not summon the stone cauldron from before.

He turned his head, looking down at the Purple-Gold Flame Bear beneath his feet that was still struggling frantically, its eyes filled with terror. The corner of his mouth curled into a peculiar smile:

"The cauldron is too small to hold your frame."

"Since that's the case…"

"Then let heaven and earth be the furnace, and the body be the cauldron!"

"This method is extreme. This Venerable One is also using it for the first time, but it should be fine."

"Begin!"

Boom——!!!

Golden-red Phoenix True Fire instantly erupted, transforming into a pillar of flame that shot into the sky, completely engulfing the Purple-Gold Flame Bear's enormous body.

"ROAR————!!!"

A heart-wrenching, miserable scream echoed through the forest.

It wasn't just the skin being scorched; it was an excruciating pain that penetrated to the marrow, stripping flesh from bone.

"Old Bear!!"

The Jadewater Jiao roared in fury and was about to charge in to rescue its comrade.

"Don't go!"

Little Rabbit desperately clung to the Jadewater Jiao's tail. Though tears welled in her eyes, her tone was exceptionally firm:

"Trust the Senior, I can feel it… You don't know how powerful that cultivation method is. For him to give it away so directly, he wouldn't just casually kill Bear Two."

She understood all too well how simple it would be for someone of Chen Huaian's strength to kill them and take their World Rings and World Bones. If that were the case, if it weren't a true Opportunity, why go through such a convoluted process?

They couldn't ruin Bear Two's good fortune through recklessness.

At the center of the flames.

Chen Huaian formed hand seals with both hands. The various herbs transformed into pure medicinal liquid, which was then driven into the Purple-Gold Flame Bear's body.

"Strip!"

He uttered a low shout.

The Phoenix True Fire acted like a precise scalpel. Without harming the Purple-Gold Flame Bear's life essence, it meticulously… carved out the hundred-thousand-year World Ring deeply engraved into its soul, and the already-formed torso World Bone.

Pain.

Extreme pain.

But it was accompanied by an extreme sense of relief.

The Purple-Gold Flame Bear felt as if it had shed shackles it had carried for ten thousand years.

Its clumsy beastly body melted, contracted, and reshaped within the flames.

Meridians reconnected, bones regenerated, acupoints opened.

Half an hour later.

Whoosh…

The flames gradually died down.

The mountain of flesh that was the giant beast had vanished.

In its place was a pile of ashes still radiating residual warmth.

And within those ashes.

A hundred-thousand-year World Ring shimmering with a crimson light, and a torso bone emitting a purple-gold luster, lay quietly.

And beside them.

A burly man, two meters tall, with muscles bulging and gnarled, draped in a beast-skin coat that seemed to appear from nowhere, stood there with a dazed expression.

He lowered his head, looking at his rough yet agile hands.

Then he touched his own face—somewhat rugged, but unmistakably human.

"I…"

The big man opened his mouth. His voice was no longer a beast's roar, but a rich baritone.

"I… I've become human?"

He clenched his fist.

Although the terrifying hundred-thousand-year cultivation he once possessed had fallen by more than half, he could feel a more profound, more potential-filled power slowly circulating within his body.

It was the starting point of demonic cultivation.

It was also the ticket to godhood.

"ROAR! Hahahaha! I'm human! I've really become human!!"

The Purple-Gold Flame Bear was so excited that hot tears streamed down his face. Paying no mind to the monster-like stares from those around him, he jumped three feet high right on the spot, causing the earth to tremble.

He suddenly turned around, thumping to his knees before Chen Huaian, and kowtowed three times with loud thuds: "Hahaha! Thank you, Benefactor, for your grace of rebirth!"

At this moment.

World Rings, World Bones, none of it mattered anymore.

Meanwhile, the Jadewater Jiao beside them was utterly dumbstruck.

Its good brother… had transformed just like that?

Without its World Ring and World Bone, it could still live?

If other hundred-thousand-year World Beasts knew about this, they would probably line up for it. After all, transformation and discarding World Rings and World Bones weren't that different—strength would decrease either way, and transformation for a World Beast was a nine-deaths-one-life gamble.

Now, with a one hundred percent survival rate.

And gaining the right to become a deity.

Mere World Rings and World Bones.

Any hundred-thousand-year World Beast would be willing to trade them!
