In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 237 Tai Bai Tian Ji: I really want to improve!
Following the instructions from Tai Baiji, Su Yuan and the others arrived at the designated area.

Then, they looked up and saw a huge flying sword that resembled a small warship.

Tai Baiji stood at the forefront of the flying sword and nodded slightly to Su Yuan and the others.

After boarding the flying sword, the slightly cool morning breeze immediately disappeared, clearly indicating that there was some kind of array or rune on the sword that isolated it from external influences.

The sword remained almost horizontal in mid-air, extremely stable, making everyone feel as if they were walking on flat ground.

Su Yuan glanced around and immediately spotted the white-haired loli holding onto the hem of Tai Baiji's clothes.

Nearly a year has passed since she first met Taibai Yuxi, and the white-haired loli has grown a few centimeters taller than before.

Her chubby little face had become even more delicate.

"Brother Su Yuan".

The white-haired loli decisively abandoned her old father and rushed to Su Yuan's side with small, quick steps.

Immersed in the increasingly pure demonic energy emanating from Su Yuan, the white-haired loli took a deep breath, her face filled with satisfaction.

At the same time, Su Yuan was also rubbing the little girl's head while silently absorbing her demonic energy.

Seeing his disciple and daughter absorbing each other's demonic energy, Taibai Baiji's lips twitched slightly.

But in the end he said nothing, acting like an incompetent father who pretended not to see anything.

"The Sword Boat is one of the fastest passenger airships I have ever purchased. Its average speed can easily reach ten times the speed of sound, and its maximum speed can even exceed one hundred times the speed of sound."

"However, given that this is your first time riding a sword boat, you may experience seasickness. I will keep the speed of the sword boat below ten times the speed of sound."

"We expect to arrive at Shixian City in about three hours. We'll be setting sail soon, so please be on your feet."

Tai Baiji gave a reminder, giving the students three seconds to prepare, before immediately setting sail.

The moment the sword boat started moving, it easily broke the sound barrier, and its speed continued to climb at a terrifying rate.

With such ferocious acceleration, let alone ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator like Su Yuan would get seasick.

Fortunately, the sword boat had layers of buffer arrays inside to alleviate the students' discomfort, which prevented them from losing their composure.

After a period of adjustment, the sword boat reached a stable speed and altitude, and the students gradually felt a surge of anticipation.

You'll be able to see the City of Ten Immortals in three hours.

Su Yuan pulled Taibai Yuxi to Taibai Baiji's side, who was pretending not to see anything, and asked curiously:
"Teacher, why are you going back to the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect again?"

"I remember you didn't stay at the university to teach, but went out to build your career at a young age, didn't you?"

Tai Baiji glanced at Su Yuan and said in an annoyed tone:

"You're right, but do you think my luck of joining a sect and it going bankrupt every time is what you call success?"

He sighed and said:

"Starting a business is not easy. Instead of thinking about starting a business during the Golden Core stage, it's better to expand your territory directly after the Nascent Soul stage."

"If I could become the ruler of a realm... I wouldn't need to join any sect; sects would actively seek to cooperate with me."

Su Yuan exclaimed in surprise:
"From what you're saying, Master, are you about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

The news that Tai Baiji is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage has been circulating for quite some time.

Good heavens! If my teacher really becomes a Nascent Soul True Lord, wouldn't my status rise to the heavens along with him?
A disciple personally taught by a Nascent Soul True Monarch sounds to be on the same level as a Holy Son or Holy Daughter.

However, she wasn't the only beneficiary of this event; the white-haired loli clearly benefited even more and could now be officially crowned as a saintess.

No wonder the white-haired loli hasn't attended compulsory education even though she's so old. Was she raised to be a saint from the very beginning?
Upon hearing Su Yuan's question, Tai Baiji's lips curled up slightly, but he immediately suppressed it.

He coughed lightly and said:

"This matter is still in its early stages, so don't spread rumors."

"However, my return to Zhuxie University this time is indeed to take advantage of the university's resources and try to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"While we are not entirely certain of this breakthrough, we are about 70% sure."

Su Yuan was filled with awe.

If someone dares to say they're 70% certain, they probably already have 90% confidence behind the scenes.

Am I really going to become a disciple of the True Lord?
Su Yuan was about to offer a few words of praise when he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked:

"By the way, Master, I heard that choosing a tutor is just as important as choosing a major after you go to university."

"On my journey to the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect, I wonder if Master could take advantage of your upcoming breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage to recommend some powerful mentors for me?"

Tai Baiji smiled and shook his head: "Silly child, after I achieve the Nascent Soul stage, I won't go straight to expand my territory. I will stay in the Demon Slayer Sword Sect to settle down for a while."

“During this period, I am one of the mentors you can choose.”

Su Yuan: "..."

Well... the Taibai Sword Demon wasn't satisfied with wreaking havoc on the Sword Sect outside, so now he's finally going to wreak havoc on his own alma mater.

So what the dog system said was actually true?!

But thinking about it carefully, Tai Baiji studied at the Zhuxie Sword Sect for so many years, and nothing happened to the sect.

After all, it's one of the top ten immortal sects, so it should be able to withstand Teacher Taibai's "poisonous milk" (a Chinese idiom for being overly pessimistic or unhelpful).

Putting aside the so-called "poisonous milk" theory, if Teacher Taibai could go back to teach, wouldn't I have a great backer at the university?

The second generation of immortals is actually myself!

With this thought in mind, Su Yuan's gaze toward Tai Bai Tianji became even more ardent.

He quickly took out a bottle of tea from his storage magic item and respectfully handed it over with both hands:

"Master, please have some tea."

Tai Baiji calmly accepted it, his hands behind his back, and said:
"If you have any further questions, please ask them now."

Tsk! This old Deng is getting arrogant!
Are you deliberately trying to get me to say something, and then showing off?
Su Yuan thought for a moment, then asked cautiously:

“Master, if you become a Nascent Soul cultivator, the position of an ordinary mentor would not be worthy of your status.”

Tai Baiji gave Su Yuan a satisfied look, and then said calmly:

"good."

"The reason I chose this time to make my breakthrough and chose the location, Zhuxie University, is because I intend to compete for the position of deputy director of the Zhuxie Department."

"Director Liu, one of the two deputy directors of the Exorcism Department, recently resigned after discovering a high-quality world and is now focusing on conquering it."

"Since there is a vacancy for the position of deputy director, I should strive for it to pave the way for my becoming the world lord."

Clearly, Su Yuan wasn't the only one who wanted to improve.

Taibai Tianji is too eager to improve.

The master and apprentice's back-and-forth banter left the other students on the sword boat completely mesmerized.

Many people looked on with envy at Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi, Xiao Kong and others who had chosen to become students of the Demon-Slaying Sword Sect.

What is it like to have your mentor be the head of the department at the university you applied to?
The joy involved is something outsiders can hardly imagine!
At the same time, they inevitably yearned for the words of "expanding territory" and "ruler of a world" spoken by Taibai Baiji.

Everyone is familiar with the fact that the high-level cultivators of the Blue Star Federation have long since left their home planet and ventured into the vast universe.

And that is indeed a fact.

The vast majority of Nascent Soul cultivators are either expanding their territory or guarding the planets and worlds they have developed, acting as realm lords, much like regional officials.

Although this process is more dangerous than exploring secret realms, the rewards are also extremely huge.

However, besides the benefits, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs did indeed have reasons for leaving their home planet.

Because the Nascent Soul True Monarchs are so powerful, the amount of spiritual energy they consume every day is comparable to the energy consumed by an aircraft carrier in Su Yuan's previous life.

Not to mention that the strength of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs is still rising, and the spiritual energy they consume will only increase.

If all these Nascent Soul True Monarchs were piled up on Blue Star, then Blue Star's spiritual energy would likely be depleted within a hundred years.

Fortunately, the revival of spiritual energy is not limited to Earth.

Almost simultaneously, other planets and worlds outside of Earth experienced a resurgence of spiritual energy.

Although the spiritual energy recovery in these worlds is generally not as advanced as that on Earth, developing a few more worlds, supporting one or two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and housing tens of millions of people should not be a problem.

A Nascent Soul True Monarch who possesses a world rich in resources is naturally revered as the Lord of the Realm.

However, for many people, whether it is the realm lord or other planets and worlds, they are just unattainable dreams.

Apart from the divine sons and saints, even the most ambitious students only set their sights on becoming Golden Core cultivators.

Now, aboard the sword boat, they have witnessed firsthand a future Nascent Soul True Monarch, a future Realm Lord.

Perhaps this is the closest they have ever come to the Lord of the Realm, how could they not be excited?
How could one not envy Su Yuan, the direct disciple of the True Man Taibai?
