Cultivating immortality at the age of three and a half, the whitewashing system came five hundred ye

Chapter 386 They've come to me demanding an award!

Jiang Wan took out the Spirit Gathering Futon, placed it on the ground, sat down with her legs crossed, and planned to use the system to give it a good talking-to.

【Wait a minute, let's explain why Jiang Yao is said to be the daughter of Heaven. If I killed her, I would be wiped out by Heaven, but now I'm fine.】
If I had known that killing her would be harmless, I would have killed her long ago. Why would I have waited until now?

System, please tell me the truth, are you lying to me?
Is there something you're hiding from me?

The system trembled. How could its reincarnated master still be so perceptive?

I didn't, I really didn't. The system is just a reference; the system is just this system!
That's basically a whitewashing system; the host has already been cleansed up!

Jiang Wan shuddered when she heard the system use a cute, childlike voice to act coquettishly. What was wrong with this system?
There's definitely a problem.

"Now that I've dealt with Jiang Yao, do I no longer need to clear my name?"

【No, host, you still need to clear your name. Try to keep doing good deeds every day, and you'll get different rewards every day!】
Furthermore, the Demon Lord Kunjiu did not die; only a wisp of his divine soul self-destructed. In a hundred years—or less than a hundred years—the secret realm of the Great Myriad Sect will reopen, and his divine soul will return.

Therefore, host, you must eliminate his soul that is trying to escape every hundred years!

Jiang Wan almost jumped up from the prayer mat on the spot.

"What? Every hundred years I have to kill his escaped soul once, does that mean I have to guard this place, no, guard the Eastern Continent for at least a thousand years? How many times do I have to kill him before he is completely killed?"
"System, you're not suggesting that my remaining progress in clearing my name involves eliminating that person from my previous life, are you? Wait, let me think about it."

If in the previous life I fell into the Abyss of Demons, cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, and then became a demon and slaughtered everyone, then in this life I did not fall into the Abyss of Demons, but still have to clear my name, is the root of the problem with this Kunjiu Demon Lord?

If that's the case, and killing Jiang Yao doesn't solve the problem, then we need to address the root cause completely.

The Demon Lord Kunjiu is not easy to kill. Just as he himself said, even the wisp of demonic soul he split off was at the Nascent Soul stage. How strong would his true body be if it came out?

"System, just tell me, if I defeat the Demon Lord Kunjiu, will I be completely exonerated, recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and stop causing me trouble in the future?"

Yes, Master, Host.

You killed Jiang Yao's reincarnation, yet Heaven did not punish you. This shows that the host's efforts to clear his name have been effective. Heaven already knows that the host is not a true demon and has a strong desire to repent.

The solution lies in fundamentally eliminating the Kunjiu Demon Lord within the Demon Abyss. However, the Kunjiu Demon Lord currently has his divine soul dormant within you, and the demonic energy emanating from you originates from cultivating his Devouring Heaven Demon Art. Defeating him will not be easy.

Jiang Wan really wanted to shake the system awake, to open its eyes and look at her. "Where did I cultivate demonic arts? I'm still so young, what have I endured?"
Suddenly, Jiang Wan thought of a good idea.

Using the spiritual power of light from the Light Root, circulate it throughout the body in a grand cycle.

"System, do I look more like an immortal or a god?"

"...Are you here to ask for an official title?"

Jiang Wan: "Just being cheeky, don't be so unfunny."

I just want you to see that all the demonic energy on my body has been expelled.

Those light and lightning spiritual roots weren't given away for nothing. Both the light and lightning spiritual roots could suppress the demonic energy on my body, not to mention the five elements spiritual roots in my lower dantian, which had already become chaotic spiritual roots.

So I'm really not the Demon Lord anymore, does that mean my redemption process is faster?

"...Congratulations, host. But you are no longer the Demon Lord. Will your demon cultivators submit to you?"

If you cannot win over those demonic cultivators, should the host consider betraying the demonic sect?

Jiang Wan: ...Destroy it, my heart is so tired!

Why does the system keep changing?

"System, are you really that stupid?"

The system is helping the host clear their name. The system and the host are one entity. When the host successfully clears their name, the system will also receive a corresponding level increase.

Jiang Wan had some free time, so she sat cross-legged on the futon and chatted with the system.

"So, what level are you at now, system?"

[Highest level!]

Jiang Wan: It's like talking to a brick wall, like a donkey's lips occasionally aligning with a horse's. Forget it, I won't say anymore. I'll continue trying to clear my name; I need to find a way to get back to the Eastern Continent.

"System, how can I go back?"

[Return to where you came from. The host can use the warship to reach top speed, break through space, and return to the place you came from on the Eastern Continent.]

Jiang Wan: "Then can I use the Flowing Light?"

【cannot! 】

Jiang Wan: "Okay!"

He got up, dusted himself off, put away the spirit-gathering futon, and raised his hand to summon a jade pendant from the void.

This was the space where Jiang Yao had previously hidden. She put the jade pendant into her immortal abode, and with a bang, the immortal abode advanced. All of Jiang Yao's previous treasures also entered the immortal abode, making the entire immortal abode seem even more vibrant.

He looked around the immortal abode with satisfaction, then frowned as he searched within it.

Strangely, Jiang Yao's jade pendant didn't contain the Devouring Demon Art. Where did she put it?

If I can't find it, I'll put this matter aside for now and then go find Dongchen Little Sword Immortal.

She had barely flown away when the Little Sword Immortal Dongchen arrived.

"Are you OK?
I heard you hadn't come back, and I was worried something might have happened to you, so I came to check on you. Thankfully, you're alright.

Jiang Wan shook her head.

"Don't worry, what could happen to me? I was just curious if Jiang Yao had gone into hiding again, which is why I was delayed a little. But it seems she hasn't gone into hiding yet."

"Let's go, let's go back to the Eastern Continent now."

Dongchen was surprised to hear her say that.

"Can we go straight back?"

Jiang Wan took out the warship.

"Return the way you came!"

But she didn't expect that going back would cost her so many spirit stones. She had mined a spirit stone mine before, and now she had only used the warship a few times!

She had squandered almost all of it, leaving only a tenth of it, but she decided to do it again.

Back on the familiar Dongli Continent, Jiang Wan asked the system.

"System, can you detect that Jiang Yao has released her Devouring Heaven Demon Art?"

[Host, isn't the Devouring Heaven Demon Art already on you?]

Jiang Wan: "Okay, I know you've disconnected again."

She should go find it herself!

Upon returning to the Wanfu Sect, I heard some terrible news.

Nangong Wanyu was captured by the Nangong family. Jiang Wan: ...

The gears of fate have begun to turn; is this the beginning of forcing Nangong Wanyu to become a demon?

"It just so happens that my warship can be used one more time. I'll go and bomb the Nangong family."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xu Hengliang immediately called out to him.

"Hey, wait a minute, take me with you!"

Gongsun Yunchuan is going too, as are Nan Chen Zhenjun and our master. We're all going; we're prepared to fight the Nangong family to the death!
