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

Chapter 463 The Scumbag Sword Demon Taibai! (3K views, please subscribe!)

"To appoint me as a holy son? This sounds like a conspiracy to lure me out."

Su Yuan frowned; his vigilance had not lessened but had instead intensified.

Zhu Qingqing explained:

"I don't think it's fake. After all, as far as I know, the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord cultivates the Soul Path."

"And it's understandable that he would develop a fondness for your talent, given that you amassed a million demon souls in just one month."

Su Yuan didn't rush to answer, but silently analyzed the situation in his mind.

As one of the thirty-six transformation gods in the ancient cultivation world, the true Reincarnation Heavenly Lord, along with the Corruption Heavenly Lord and the Holy Law Heavenly Lord, should be the same kind of person. They are all exemplars who use demonic arts for righteous purposes and protect the world.

If the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation in the Great Void World has this kind of personality, then his self-proclamation as the Holy Son must be genuine.

However, it's hard to say if it's a Samsara Heavenly Lord who has been corrupted by the Boundless Calamity Venerable.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yuan finally decided to take a small risk.

"I will control a specially made puppet to meet the divine messenger, and use a camera hidden in the puppet's eye to view the transmitted images."

"If there are no problems making contact through a puppet, we can consider making further contact with the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation."

He chose a relatively cautious approach.

Zhu Qingqing naturally had no objection to this and generously lent her master's techniques to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan installed cameras and communication devices on Zhu Qingqing's grandmaster, and had the latter take this puppet to meet the divine messenger.

In addition, he contacted Yin Qiyue and sent her to the border of the Reincarnation Underworld to communicate with her in real time.

If anything goes wrong, Yin Qiyue can directly activate the Holy Church Blood Sacrifice Array that Su Yuan had set up in advance at the border to summon him there.

He himself remained in place, observing the situation.

Half an hour later, Su Yuan saw the divine messenger through the eyes of his grandmaster Zhu Qingqing.

To Su Yuan's slight surprise, this divine messenger was actually an acquaintance, none other than Xuan Haoran, one of the four great Dharma Kings of the Yuan Sect.

It can only be said that the Yuan Cult is indeed full of talented people; no matter where they go, the Yuan Cult's cadres can do very well.

"Su Yuan, you're being so cautious."

Inside the meeting room, Xuan Haoran stared into the eyes of Zhu Qingqing's grandmaster and said with a half-smile.

Hearing this tone, Su Yuan understood that this guy still retained his individuality.

This delighted Su Yuan. Since the divine messenger was one of his own, the problem that had troubled him for so long could finally be solved.

"Let's skip the small talk and tell me quickly what's going on with the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord?"

Su Yuan got straight to the point.

Xuan Haoran stroked his chin and replied:

"My identity is that of a newly appointed divine envoy under the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, with a status equivalent to his nominal disciple, and I don't know much about his situation."

"From my perspective, he was a very gentle and childlike person. He would not kill any living being unless absolutely necessary."

Su Yuan: "..."

Hmm, that sounds like the personality of the true Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation.

Was that cute little boy who acted so young actually so gentle at heart?

However, a problem arises: since he dislikes killing, but I slaughtered over a million demonic cultivators in a month, will he see me as a thorn in his side?

From this perspective, the probability of the demonized version of the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation accepting him is actually higher.

"So, the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation is planning to eliminate me, this malignant tumor that's destroying the environment?"

Xuan Haoran: "Huh, is your self-awareness really that accurate?"

Su Yuan: "..."

It’s hard, the fist is hard!
Seeing that Grandmaster Zhu Qingqing looked displeased, Xuan Haoran, fearing he might get punched by this Nascent Soul stage puppet, quickly added:

"You misunderstand. The Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation is not too hostile towards you because you kill people with a purpose and do not harm innocent people."

"But it is precisely because you killed those who deserved to die that the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation is worried that you will become bloodthirsty and harm the innocent, so he wants to recruit you."

After a pause, Xuan Haoran continued:
"In addition, the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation also discovered that the Yuan Sect was nurturing a Myriad Soul Banner with the potential to become a celestial treasure."

"He believes that the legendary leader of the Yuan Cult has extremely high talent in the way of the soul, so he wants to take you as his disciple and teach you carefully."

Su Yuan nodded in realization.

It seems that the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation is also quite displeased with these demonic sects, but he has been unable to bring himself to do so for a long time, or he is unwilling to actively weaken the power of the Reincarnation Netherworld.

Now that he has dealt with this trouble for him and demonstrated power surpassing the Ten Great Demonic Sects, recruiting him to be his henchman or spokesperson is an excellent choice.

But... did the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation really not have the heart to do it before?

Not necessarily. Which of the powerful beings who have risen to the level of Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord is merciful?
Perhaps... there are some inside stories he doesn't know.

Su Yuan's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered the current situation of the Boundless Calamity Venerable—that old man was so lacking in immortal power that he would never personally suppress a Nascent Soul cultivator unless absolutely necessary.

In the Great Void World, this situation was also reflected in the three Nascent Soul stage experts.

Perhaps they are facing the same dilemma as the Boundless Calamity Venerable, and dare not use their Nascent Soul cultivation recklessly, saving as much as possible.

This is why the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation has been slow to launch a major purge of the Underworld of Reincarnation.

Having figured out all the key points, Su Yuan believed in the sincerity of the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord's offer to recruit him. However, out of caution, Su Yuan still did not intend to meet the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord in his true form.

He thought for a moment and said to Xuan Haoran:
"Please tell the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation that I am a good person who hates evil and will only target demonic cultivators. I will not harm the innocent."

"In addition, please make it public that I have been named a Holy Son, preferably so that all the major and minor forces in the Samsara Netherworld, the Purple Gold Dragon Domain, and the Star River Dao Domain know about it."

"Once my status as the Holy Son is firmly established and irreplaceable, I will go to see him in my true form."

Xuan Haoran nodded solemnly:

"Okay, I will relay your request to him truthfully."

Su Yuan: "Well, you don't have to be so honest. You can put in a good word for me if you want."

Xuan Haoran chuckled and nodded in agreement.

After watching Xuan Haoran leave, Su Yuan felt a little better.

If I can truly gain the support of the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord, then traveling across realms might no longer be a problem.

Just then, Zhu Qingqing, who had been waiting outside the meeting room, walked in and said with a smile:
"Su Yuan, I just heard some good news."

"The Taibai Sword Demon, who is also your teacher, fled to the territory of the Ten Great Demon Sects to escape the pursuit of that female sword immortal."

"We now have control of their locations. If you want to fulfill your filial duties, now is the best time."

Su Yuan's spirits lifted.

"Oh? Teacher Taibai is here? Then I'd better hurry over and join in the fun."

"Who exactly is the female swordswoman who's chasing him? I can't wait to find out!"

After learning the specific coordinates from Zhu Qingqing, Su Yuan did not hesitate and immediately set out in his main body.

By becoming one with the Crimson Origin Sword, Su Yuan arrived at his destination in less than half an hour.

To his slight surprise, the Taibai Sword Demon and the female sword immortal who was chasing him were not fighting in some desolate wilderness, but in a bustling city.

At this moment, the two men were standing on the city gate tower, facing each other.

Two fierce Nascent Soul level pressures clashed continuously in the sky above the city! Below the city gate, a bustling crowd of onlookers gathered.

Fearing he would be targeted by the enemy, Su Yuan didn't rush to reveal himself. After entering stealth mode, he secretly moved to the best spot to watch the show, tilting his head back to observe.

To the right of the city gate stands a dashing and unrestrained young swordsman, none other than Tai Baiji, dressed in ancient attire.

On the left side of the city gate stood a fairy with silver hair, dressed in white as snow, with exquisite features and a sharp expression.

This fairy has an otherworldly temperament, and her cultivation is even higher than that of the third-level Nascent Soul cultivator, Tai Bai Tianji.

Su Yuan had never seen this white-haired fairy before, but he vaguely felt that her appearance was somewhat familiar.

Furthermore, after clearly seeing the swords held by the two sword cultivators, Su Yuan's expression immediately turned strange.

If I'm not mistaken, the swords in these two people's hands look exactly the same, both in appearance and in essence, they are the same Wenji Sword.

Isn't the Wenji Sword my teacher's natal sword? Why does this white-haired female sword immortal also have one?

Just as I was puzzled, the white-haired fairy on the city wall spoke, her tone cold and aloof:
"Tai Bai Bai Ji, you left without saying goodbye ten years ago, and when you reappeared, you had become the Tai Bai Sword Demon, who wreaked havoc everywhere and was hated by everyone."

"When you committed these heinous crimes, did you ever think about how Yu Xi and I felt?"

"Huh? How come Taibai Yuxi is involved here?"

Su Yuan, who was excitedly watching the drama unfold, was stunned.

Moreover, the white-clad female swordswoman's words sounded like they were filled with deep resentment, as if she were denouncing a heartless scumbag.

hiss--

I never imagined my teacher would be such a jerk!

Just as he was thinking this, a familiar voice suddenly sounded beside him:

"Yes, I'm also involved in this."

Su Yuan suddenly lowered his head and looked at the white-haired loli who had somehow appeared at his feet, tentatively asking:
"Yu Xi?"

"Brother Su Yuan, it's been a long time."

Taibai Yuxi waved her little hand at Su Yuan, a sly smile appearing on her pretty face.

Sure enough, this girl stayed true to herself.

"Do you know that female swordswoman on the city gate tower?"

Su Yuan asked curiously.

Taibai Yuxi nodded heavily:
"Of course I know her. Although I've never met her in person before, I grew up looking at her photos."

"She is my mother."

Upon hearing the words uttered by the white-haired loli, even though Su Yuan already had some guesses, his eyes widened immediately.

Is that white-haired female swordswoman Taibai Yuxi's biological mother?

No wonder I felt like the other person looked familiar; it turns out the white-haired loli looked a bit like her.

But... why does Yu Xi's mother appear in the illusion?
Whether it's the fake Chu Jiang or Chu Lanxi, they shouldn't know her.

Seemingly noticing Su Yuan's confusion, Taibai Yuxi explained:
“Brother Su Yuan, my mother is not a modern person. She is an ancient person from 100,000 years ago. She is the famous Lingli Sword Immortal in the ancient cultivation world.”
