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

Chapter 537 The Movements of the Sword-Wielding Venerable and the Boundless Calamity Venerable! (3K views, please subscribe!)

"So, are we really going to choose Su Yuan as the sword wielder?"

Gui Yuan said with deep concern:
"Choosing him as the Swordholder might preserve Earth, but the cosmic boundary will most likely be broken!"

"At that time, we will be the ones who push the cultivation world to its destruction."

Upon hearing this, An Xingran chuckled and said:
“Senior Guiyuan, your thinking is outdated. Even if we do activate the Zhuxian Sword, the culprit that will destroy the world will not be us, but the Boundless Calamity Venerable who wants to destroy our civilization.”

"Besides, even if the cosmic boundary is really broken, the Boundless Calamity Venerable should have a way to plug it up. It's not as serious as you say."

Gui Yuan fell silent for a while before nodding slightly in support.

An Xingran continued, "Our discussion is just idle talk. Let the professionals judge what the future holds."

As she spoke, the eighteen-year-old high school girl turned her gaze to the Pavilion Master of Guantian Pavilion.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator specializing in divination, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Observation Pavilion could not see the exact future, but he could still receive some vague revelations.

At least in some major directions that affect the situation in the cultivation world, he won't be wrong.

The Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Observation Pavilion glanced at the qualified individuals who were climbing out of the landing pod one after another, and said calmly:
“I see no hope in the other candidates, but Su Yuan is special. He embodies both hope and destruction.”

The Hundred-Headed Heavenly Lord stroked his chin and said:

"In other words, if we choose Su Yuan as the sword wielder, we still have a glimmer of hope, but if we choose someone else, we won't have any chance at all."

Wuluo Zhenjun added:
"But if Su Yuan is chosen, the cultivation world may face an extremely dark future."

Shen Zhou thought for a moment, then spoke in a deep voice:

“It’s better to drag the Boundless Calamity Venerable down with us into darkness than to see no hope at all. Let’s choose Su Yuan as the sword wielder.”

After Shen Zhou made his decision, all the judges present also made their choices.

Their choices were unanimously the same: Su Yuan.

It's very simple. Rather than choosing a hopeless future that you can see the end from the beginning, why not put your bet on Su Yuan and take a gamble!
Cultivators who can reach the Nascent Soul stage are all very adventurous.

After the judges reached a consensus, they announced the result of selecting Su Yuan as the sword wielder.

The eligible candidates had no objections to this; on the contrary, they showed expressions of "I knew it."

After all, being chosen as the Swordholder is no glorious thing; it's an officially recognized super villain who could destroy the world at any time.

After the unsuccessful candidates left Taixu University in an orderly manner, leaving only Su Yuan and the judges on the field, they discussed the formal authorization matters.

"Su Yuan, Xinghe Tianjun has arrived at the Divine Craftsman Palace and is ready to launch the Immortal Execution Sword at any time."

"Before the Immortal Execution Sword is launched, I will hand over control of this immortal treasure to you. I wonder if you have any questions about this arrangement."

Su Yuan nodded and asked:

"The Swordholder and the Immortal Execution Sword are so far apart, are you sure there won't be any communication problems or interference?"

“Once the Boundless Calamity Venerable severs my connection with the Immortal Execution Sword, all our preparations will be in vain.”

Xuan Yi Tianjun also sighed deeply at Su Yuan's question.

"I don't have a good solution to this either. I've optimized the communication module as much as I can, but I don't know if the Boundless Calamity Venerable can interfere with it."

"We can only judge whether the Boundless Calamity Venerable will make a move based on experience and intuition, and activate the Immortal Slaughtering Sword before he makes a move."

Su Yuan thought for a moment and said:

"Compared to this highly uncertain early warning method, I have a more suitable method."

Upon hearing this, all the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords showed expressions of curiosity.

"Why not just launch me along with the Immortal Execution Sword?"

"At that time, I will live and eat on the Zhuxian Sword. No matter how strong Wuliangjiezun is, he will not be able to sever the connection between the two of us."

Su Yuan said earnestly.

"But that's too dangerous."

Without a second thought, Wuluo Tianjun refused:

"Su Yuan, your safety is extremely important to the overall situation. We cannot allow you to be left behind."

"Moreover, even if you can detect the assassination attempt by the Boundless Calamity Venerable in time, the moment the cosmic boundary is broken, the forces from outside the universe will definitely rush in, and you will definitely be affected, with little chance of survival."

Su Yuan said in a deep voice:

Even so, I have to go.

"I have a method to accurately locate all Nascent Soul cultivators in the cultivation world, so I am not afraid that after the Boundless Tribulation Venerable cuts off the communication between me and Blue Star, he will launch a surprise attack on Blue Star in secret."

"But if I stay on Earth, I can't guarantee when the Boundless Calamity Venerable will remotely sever my connection with the Immortal Execution Sword."

"As for the dangers after the cosmic boundary is broken, I cannot guarantee that I will survive, but even if I die, I will die in a meaningful way."

Hearing Su Yuan's words, all the Nascent Soul cultivators present were moved.

Su Yuan was so noble.

This willingness to sacrifice oneself for the civilization of Earth at any time puts them all to shame.

Of course, Su Yuan was not as noble as the Nascent Soul cultivators imagined.

He dared to personally go to the edge of the universe to oversee things because of the 'Chaotic Body' mission reward.

Su Yuan understood what lay beyond the universe; the dog system had explained it clearly: chaos.

Since the Chaos Body is associated with the word "chaos," it shouldn't be afraid of that so-called chaos, and might even thrive in it.

However, there's no need to tell these things to outsiders.

"Alright, since you've already prepared yourself mentally, we won't try to persuade you any further. In short, be careful in everything you do."

Wu Luo Zhenjun was the one who cared most about Su Yuan among all the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords, but he was also the first to make a decision on such a crucial matter. As for sending Nascent Soul guards to Su Yuan, it was completely unnecessary.

Because Su Yuan's current combat strength is already very strong.

He was not some weak, pitiful, and helpless ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, but a Nascent Soul cultivator who had personally defeated the Holy Law Heavenly Lord.

Su Yuan was not afraid of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators at all; he would kill them one by one.

Against powerful figures at the Nascent Soul stage, Blue Star can also provide timely support via ultra-long-range teleportation arrays.

What if the Venerable One of Immeasurable Kalpas were to arrive?

At that point, does it make a difference whether or not there's a Nascent Soul cultivator protecting them?

Without delay, accompanied by a group of Nascent Soul Celestial Lords, Su Yuan returned to the Divine Craftsman Palace.

There, Qi Anong, the Celestial Lord of the Milky Way, had already set up a teleportation array for the Immortal Execution Sword, ready to be activated at any time.

When Xinghe Tianjun learned that Su Yuan was also going, he was very surprised, but after hearing Su Yuan's purpose for going, he agreed.

"By the way, are Nuoyi and Hanya still in seclusion?"

Standing beside the Demon-Slaying Sword, Su Yuan suddenly remembered the two girls he hadn't seen for a month and asked Wu Luo Tianjun about them.

"Han Ya is still in seclusion during the Nascent Soul inheritance training that her mother prepared for her, while Nuo Yi is receiving special training from Senior Purple Gold Dragon Venerable. Neither of them has come out of seclusion yet."

"That is the answer from True Lord Wuluo."

She knew Su Yuan missed them, so she added:
"Once they emerge from seclusion, I will immediately arrange for them to have a video call with you. The Zhuxian Sword has built-in WiFi."

Su Yuan: "..."

This is such a high-end, super magical treasure, and suddenly you have built-in WiFi? It's really a bit out of place.

However, he didn't say anything, he just nodded and said:

"I have no other questions, let's go."

Star River Heavenly Lord waved goodbye to Su Yuan reluctantly and activated the teleportation array.

The next second, Su Yuan and the Zhuxian Sword were enveloped in a white light.

After an exceptionally long teleportation journey, a new landscape finally appeared before his eyes.

A desolate, pitch-black cosmic space, devoid of even a single star.

Fortunately, the Zhuxian Sword was large enough that its light source could illuminate Su Yuan, preventing him from appearing too lonely.

Su Yuan then looked in the direction the tip of the Zhuxian Sword was pointing.

It seemed no different from the surrounding universe, but when Su Yuan extended his senses there, he was blocked by an invisible barrier.

That barrier is the boundary of the universe.

He is currently in the outermost region of the universe, separated from the world outside the universe by only a wall.

"It's still a bit unbelievable to think that humans have actually reached the edge of the universe."

Su Yuan sighed inwardly, realizing that this experience was unimaginable in his previous life.

After looking around, Su Yuan felt a little bored.

He casually built a house on the massive blade of the Zhuxian Sword, moved in, connected to the Zhuxian Sword's built-in network, and re-established contact with Earth.

At the same time, he can also enjoy various online games, so being alone at the edge of the universe is not lonely.

"By the way, I wonder what the Boundless Calamity Venerable is doing now."

Su Yuan thought of his mortal enemy.

He recalled the distribution map of the Nascent Souls in his mind, hoping to find some clues about the Boundless Calamity Venerable.

Unfortunately, after searching around, I found nothing.

The only certainty is that neither Wuliang Jiezun's subordinates nor his true self approached Blue Star.

Su Yuan was slightly dissatisfied with the function of the Divine Transformation Distribution Map.

Why are the light spots of every Nascent Soul cultivator exactly the same, without any difference in size?
If the size of the light spot corresponds to the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, then the Boundless Tribulation Venerable, who wields 70% of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao and has a cultivation level as high as the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, would definitely be the most outstanding among them, and would have no trouble finding people.

Pity.

"You old fool, it's been a month since I killed the Holy Law Heavenly Lord, can't you even react a little bit?"

"Are you suffering from dementia or something? Why haven't you sent more people to deal with us?"

Su Yuan kept muttering to himself.

The enemy made no move at all, making him feel like he was punching cotton.

It was as if everything was just their wishful thinking, and the Boundless Lord simply couldn't be bothered with them.

Meanwhile, on another edge of the universe.

A hazy, gray mist continuously poured out from the holes in the boundary wall, carrying a terrifying power that could assimilate everything, greedily invading the interior of the universe.

But just as the gray mist spewed out from the hole in the boundary wall, a giant hand suddenly reached out from the void and completely blocked the gap in the boundary wall.

The Boundless Calamity Venerable used one hand to block the gap in the boundary wall, while the other hand was mixing a five-colored paste resembling glue in a bronze jar, muttering to himself.

"The gaps in the boundary are increasing."

Suddenly, he sneezed.

He looked around in bewilderment:
"And who is talking about me again?"
