Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?

...

Chen Huaian planned to use Real Person Jade Compassion's middle corpse as a starting point to trace her whereabouts.

If Jade Compassion wasn't an enemy, he would simply wish her success in ascension.

But if she was an enemy who threatened Li Qingran and the Moon Shadow Sect, he would sever her path to immortality even if it cost him this avatar!

After finishing the morning tea prepared by Li Qingran, he immediately sought out Dan Yun and shared his deductions from a sleepless night.

Dan Yun frowned slightly upon hearing this and said softly, "Senior, your deductions are likely correct." Her expression turned grave. "Actually, I suspected yesterday that it might be one of the three corpses severed by Jade Compassion. Among the three corpse spirits, the middle corpse is obsessed with wealth - its cultivation improves by acquiring money. Its special ability lies in extraordinarily powerful soul energy, even capable of glimpsing fate!"

"Last night I tested this," Dan Yun continued. "That girl resembling Jade Compassion demands money for everything, scheming constantly to obtain it. She can't resist spirit stones, insisting on swallowing them... I suspect she came to our Moon Shadow Sect targeting our high-grade spirit vein."

Chen Huaian's expression changed, his lips twitching. "Isn't this just a money-devouring pixiu?" He shook his head warningly. "You must keep close watch on her! If this gold-sucking beast learns the location of my high-grade spirit vein, she'll drain all the spirit crystals within days!"

"Don't worry about that." Dan Yun patted her chest with a "trust me" expression. "I've placed restrictions and tracking methods on her, plus my daughter Dan Bai is watching her."

Seeing Dan Yun's knowledge about severing three corpses, Chen Huaian pressed further: "Do you know how to find the other two corpses and Jade Compassion's true form?"

"Senior, to find Jade Compassion, we must first determine which severing method she used." Dan Yun explained seriously. "There are three methods of severing three corpses."

"Three?!" Chen Huaian's eyes widened.

Quite the variety!

Dan Yun smiled slightly. "The first method is most common - excising the three corpse worms to reach desireless enlightenment. This maximizes comprehension of the Dao while heavenly tribulations become much weaker. Since the Heavenly Dao views emotionless immortals as its tools, such cultivators ascend easily, becoming what we call Worldly Immortals. These immortals are said to be exceptionally powerful under the Heavenly Dao's blessing."

Chen Huaian had heard of this method - even seen it in past-life novels. He used to wonder how authors conceived such ideas. Now he understood - fragments of memories from countless recycles seeping into literature.

"And the other two?" Chen Huaian's eyes gleamed with curiosity.

"The other two are rarer." Dan Yun's tone darkened. "One involves discarding the main body, sending out three corpses to cultivate separately before recombining them for a power boost."

"As for the last..." Dan Yun's expression turned grim, her voice dropping. "It keeps only the upper corpse. The lower corpse is sentimental but has supreme fortune; the middle corpse covets wealth but glimpses fate; the upper corpse - called the Evil Corpse - has peerless comprehension and unlimited breakthroughs! Ancient cultivators who concentrated power in their evil corpses could advance without bottlenecks!"

"Though their souls were ultimately devoured by the evil corpse becoming murderous demons..." Dan Yun shrugged with mockery, "they considered the evil corpse part of themselves, so it didn't matter."

"Self-deception." Chen Huaian scoffed, eyes flashing coldly. "Just comforting lies before being devoured by their own murderous persona."

"Senior speaks wisely." Dan Yun smiled gently.

"Which method do you think Jade Compassion used?" Chen Huaian leaned forward slightly.

"The first one, most likely." Dan Yun tapped the table thoughtfully. "Its hallmark is the corpses having lower cultivation than the main body - like that fortune-telling girl who had no discernible realm but powerful soul energy."

"Then how do we find Jade Compassion's true form?"

"Simple." Dan Yun's lips curved. "We nurture the middle corpse until it naturally leads us to Jade Compassion."

Nurture a wealth-obsessed middle corpse?

That meant feeding it spirit stones.

Chen Huaian and Dan Yun exchanged knowing looks.

"Exactly." Dan Yun chuckled. "Feed it spirit stones - medium or low grade will suffice. Useless pills and artifacts can also be offered."

Chen Huaian's mouth twitched.

What a glutton!

It eats everything!

"Mother, Ancestor, what are you discussing so early?" A soft voice interrupted.

"Jade Compassion matters." Dan Yun turned, then paled upon seeing her daughter Dan Bai's wrist.

"Bai, where's your paired bracelet?" Her voice tightened.

"It's right... here?" Dan Bai raised her hand, then blanched.

The bracelet was gone!

The mother bracelet was on her wrist, the child bracelet on the fortune-teller.

The mother bracelet should sense if the child bracelet moved beyond range.

Yet it had vanished without warning!

"The girl escaped!" Dan Yun turned ashen but quickly composed herself. "But the bracelet was just my first precaution - there are still arrays and tracking talismans."

They rushed to the cave abode, only to find Jade Compassion's room empty, arrays shattered, with only spirit stone fragments remaining.

"If she came targeting our sect, why flee?" Chen Huaian knelt, picking up fragments in puzzlement.

Then realization struck. He slapped his thigh, face darkening:

"Damn it! My spirit mine!"
