Chapter 153: Why Is It Still You?!

Perfect! It’s the Young Master’s Heavenly Demon Sky-Peering Technique!

A secret art that sacrifices the karmic fates of other living beings to glimpse a fragment of destiny…

Only a demonic prodigy like the Young Master could possibly master such a technique!

Mu Baishuang’s gaze grew increasingly intoxicated.

Her fingertips unconsciously traced circles on her thigh.

These supple, fair thighs had never been touched by any disciple of Chixiao Peak. Even if someone accidentally brushed her hand, she would scrub it with a handkerchief for half a day.

Yet now, her mind was filled with visions of the Young Master’s warm hands gliding over her skin...

From the mirror, agonized wails rang out.

Layer upon layer of cages intertwined in a complex formation, clearly part of a sinister array. A chilling demonic aura spread through the cave, making it resemble hell itself.

Within the cages were imprisoned cultivators and mortals alike.

At this moment, countless streams of blood and life force flowed into the Heavenly Demon Young Master.

His pupils glowed with a commanding radiance.

He saw it.

He saw the silhouette of a white-haired sword cultivator.

That man was surrounded by black dragons, wielding a black-scaled longsword.

That sword cultivator…

Actually…

Looked more handsome than him?!

Even from just a glimpse of his back, the Heavenly Demon Young Master reached this undeniable conclusion.

Unacceptable.

As the Number One Most Handsome Demon Cultivator in the Cangyun Realm, his looks were sacred, indisputable, and absolute.

“Trying to act mysterious? Let me see your face!”

He intensified his Heavenly Demon Sky-Peering Technique, sacrificing more prisoners.

One by one, the cultivators and mortals in the cages exploded into clouds of blood.

As the last sacrifice perished, the blood pool churned violently, its stench overwhelming.

And at that moment…

He finally saw the sword cultivator’s face.

“Wha… What… WHAT THE HELL?!”

Staring at that face…

The unreasonably, outrageously, devastatingly handsome face…

The Heavenly Demon Young Master felt his Qi violently recoil, surging straight into his heart and lungs.

“PUH—!!!”

He clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

His aura instantly weakened.

“Ah! Young Master!”

Mu Baishuang snapped out of her daze, completely abandoning her fantasies. She watched in horror as the Young Master’s demonic eyes—pierced through by sword intent—began bleeding.

A backlash from divining the heavens.

Even though the Young Master had used a secret technique, he still suffered backlash…

That meant the one he had spied on had greater mastery over fate than someone trained in the Heavenly Demon Sky-Peering Technique?!

How was that possible?!

Just who was this person… who had secretly thwarted the Heavenly Demon Sect’s plans?

She needed to investigate.

“Young Master, are you alright? You’re bleeding…”

Soaking in the blood pool, the Heavenly Demon Young Master, Ji Dong, wiped the blood from his lips and gritted his teeth.

“I’m fine. Those demonic cultivators we planted in righteous sects were bound to be discovered sooner or later. Their deaths mean nothing… They were always part of my plan.”

“As expected of the Young Master!”

Mu Baishuang’s eyes shone with admiration.

No matter the situation, the Young Master always planned ahead.

Unlike her—she always got emotional when things happened…

How embarrassing.

“But you…” Ji Dong’s cold gaze pierced through the mirror, locking onto Mu Baishuang.

“You told me Qingyun Sect had a Taiyin Dao Body. When are you going to bring it to me?”

Mu Baishuang’s face instantly turned pale.

She hesitated, then lowered her head and whispered, “Young Master, the Taiyin Dao Body… was taken by a cultivator. It seems that person has accepted them as a disciple…”

She shivered under the Young Master’s increasingly icy stare and quickly pledged herself to the task.

“But that person will definitely enter the Zhongzhou Secret Realm! When the time comes, I will personally ensure that special physique is yours!”

“Hmph! Remember what you said!”

Ji Dong dismissed the mirror projection with a flick of his hand.

He tried to regulate his breath…

But the more he circulated his Qi, the more chaotic it became.

A rogue sword intent rampaged through his meridians.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth again.

He barely managed to suppress it.

The backlash had been insane.

He had merely glanced at that sword cultivator and lost an entire month of cultivation.

Unbelievable!

“Heh… I might not be able to deal with that old monster… But can’t I still crush that special physique’s master?”

Ji Dong once again began divining the heavens.

His plan was simple.

Mu Baishuang would handle the special physique.

He would handle their master.

A two-pronged approach! Victory was assured!

Moments later…

“PUH—!!!”

The cave echoed with the violent sound of projectile vomiting blood.

Followed immediately by a hysterical scream.

“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! IT’S YOU!”

“IT’S STILL YOU?!”

...

...

Noon had arrived.

It was time for Heavenly Divination.

Chen Huai’an bathed, changed, and recharged his energy.

With a murderous resolve, he logged into the game.

Today, either the cancer cells die… or he does.

Chen Huai’an had spoken.

His killing intent toward cancer cells was so strong that he completely ignored the eager, expectant look in Li Qingran’s eyes.

Heavenly Divination—Start!

“What pill can suppress the demonic cancer cells in my body?”

【Player is currently under the "Lost Fortune" debuff. This divination is free, but will increase your "Lost Fortune" stack by two layers. Continue?】

Chen Huai’an glanced at his 998 layers of "Lost Fortune" and sneered.

What difference do two more make?

He had so many that he was already numb to it.

Do it, damn it!

【Heavenly Divination in progress…】

A sudden shift in the winds swept across the Cangyun Realm.

Countless cultivators looked up in alarm.

【Heavenly Divination complete.】

【The Hundred Herbs Detox Pill can completely suppress the demonic cancer cells in the player’s body. (Click for details)】

Chen Huai’an: I click.

【Details: The Hundred Herbs Detox Pill, also known as the Hundred Herbs Rebirth Pill, works by upgrading all normal cells in the user’s body. Since toxins cannot affect upgraded "super cells," cultivators who consume this pill gain immunity to all poisons.】

“…I see.”

Chen Huai’an understood.

Right now, the reason he couldn’t defeat his cancer cells…

Was because the demonic cancer cells were on a higher level than his normal cells.

To overcome them, he needed to raise his cultivation.

But the problem was—his cancer cells would grow stronger alongside him.

In this scenario, any nourishment was just feeding the cancer.

Even detox pills were useless…

Because cancer wasn’t a toxin.

Which meant—the Hundred Herbs Detox Pill was the only cure.

Instead of removing the disease…

It directly upgraded his body’s resistance.

“…Heh.”

Chen Huai’an let out a bitter chuckle.

His gaze dimmed.

“No matter how much I struggle… in the end, the one who can save me… is still my Qingran baby.”

“She still has to risk herself in the Zhongzhou Secret Realm…”

“I’m powerless… utterly powerless… hahahaha…”

"Master, I finished making your pillowcase~"

A soft, gentle voice chimed from the screen, carrying nervous excitement.

Chen Huai’an snapped back to reality.

His eyes narrowed…

His lips curled into a sinister smirk.

Confidence. Determination. Belief.

All returned to his once lifeless gaze.

Oh?

A pillowcase made of special fabric?

Interesting.

With this pillowcase…

As long as he buried his face in it day and night…

What could possibly be impossible for Immortal Chen?!
