Unreliable Sword Immortal.

"Yes! This sect leader intends to rebuild the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect!"

Lu Chaoding immediately responded to the system.

Players can visit the Great Luo Sword Sect, the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, and the Hongchen Sword Sect to learn about the relevant storyline and participate in the event. Please explore on your own!"

A series of system notifications sounded, and at the same time, a black longsword with an eye-shaped gem inlaid on its hilt appeared in front of Lu Chao.

This sword is the Heavenly Demon Sword.

"Good heavens, a six-star weapon! This sword is outrageous!"

Lu Chao was quite surprised when he saw the attribute information of the Heavenly Demon Sword. The sword's power exceeded his expectations, and it was indeed stronger than [Lu Pifu] and [Lu Qilin].

"This sword is usable by all classes, but it's clearly more suitable for the Sword Demon. It's a pity I can't possibly become a Sword Demon! What if Lu Pifu absorbed this sword? Would it instantly advance him to six stars?"

Lu Chao shook his head and immediately gave up the idea of ​​letting [Lu Pifu] devour the Heavenly Demon Sword.

This Heavenly Demon Sword is not just a weapon; it is also the key to the Heavenly Demon Cave.

"Obtaining the Heavenly Demon Sword is equivalent to obtaining the Heavenly Demon Cave. I'm going to go and take a look at the Heavenly Demon Cave!"

Lu Chao gripped the Heavenly Demon Sword, and with a thought, the sword instantly transformed into a pitch-black void with a diameter of ten feet.

Lu Chao stepped into it, and his figure immediately disappeared, along with the dark void.

In Lu Chaoding's perception, it was as if he had walked into a black fog, his vision completely dark. After taking three steps forward, light reappeared in his vision.

"Ding! You have entered the Heavenly Demon Cave!"

As the system notification sounded, Lu Chaoding's view was filled with a sacred palace.

This palace is grand and majestic, like a giant mountain, sitting above the clouds and bathed in golden light. It is magnificent, holy and solemn, giving people a sense of epic weight and mythical magnificence.

The entire Heavenly Demon Cave Heaven consists of just this one palace.

Lu Chao's pupils contracted. Upon seeing the enormous palace before him, he felt that this place did not resemble the Heavenly Demon Cave Heaven, but rather the Heavenly Palace Divine Realm.

The light, holiness, brilliance, and splendor here were completely different from the "demon" he had imagined.

Suddenly, the temple doors swung open, and a small figure appeared on the palace steps.

It was a woman with snow-white skin and a beautiful appearance. She wore a thin gauze dress and had a pair of black wings on her back.

[Heavenly Demon: LV90 Sword Demon, Master of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect, one of the progenitor Sword Demons, immortal and indestructible, the only one of its kind throughout history. Note: The Heavenly Demon can regenerate infinitely, hence the title "immortal." However, the Heavenly Demon can actually be killed. Upon death, it automatically undergoes Nirvana, reborn at unpredictable times and locations. Each time it rebirths, its level drops to 90, and its original memories are sealed. Only when its level reaches LV150 can its original memories be restored.]

Lu Chao was once again shocked when he saw the attribute information of [Heavenly Demon].

"One of the Primordial Sword Demons, that's a powerful setting! Haha, I am the Lord of Heavenly Demons, so I am her master!"

Lu Chao walked up to the [Heavenly Demon] without any politeness. From a distance, he thought the Heavenly Demon was in the form of a young girl, but now that he was close to her, he realized that the Heavenly Demon's body was a bit "big". Her height was probably over three zhang, making her a "giant girl"!

Clearing his throat, Lu Chao stared at the face of the [Heavenly Demon] and said, "Heavenly Demon, do you know who I am?"

[Heavenly Demon] appeared innocent and bewildered. She calmly looked at Lu Chaoding, and after two minutes slowly said, "You are the master, the Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect. I am the Heavenly Demon, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect!"

Lu Chao retorted, "Not bad, not bad. It's good that you know who I am. From now on, you'll work for me, and I guarantee you'll live a life of luxury!"

[Heavenly Demon] nodded obediently, then sat on the stone steps in front of the huge palace, resting his chin on his hand and staring blankly into the void.

Lu Chao called her a few times, but seeing that she was dazed and didn't react, he shook his head and ignored her.

He stepped into the enormous palace, intending to explore it.

What Lu Chaoding didn't know was that just as he entered the Heavenly Demon Cave, in the distant lands of many ancient sects and families, very similar, urgent bells rang out simultaneously. Few people knew that these were the warning bells signaling the rebirth of the Heavenly Demon.

In the northernmost part of Tianyun Prefecture, there is a lush and verdant mountain called Daluo Mountain, which is the headquarters of the Daluo Sword Sect.

At this moment, the entire Daluo Mountain was shaking, and a rapid and loud bell rang out from the top of the mountain. All the high-ranking figures of the Daluo Sword, the reclusive masters, the elders in seclusion, and so on, appeared at this moment. They transformed into beams of light and all headed towards the top of the mountain.

The summit of Mount Daluo is famous as the Golden Summit. On the Golden Summit, an old man dressed in a white Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, and an air of otherworldly grace, appeared out of thin air. He sat cross-legged and slowly opened his eyes, gazing into the void.

"The Demon King is Reborn!"

This old man is the sect leader of the Great Luo Sword Sect, a legendary figure. Even players of the Great Luo Sword Sect have never seen him.

The old man stood up, sighed, swept his whisk, and said to the void, "The Heavenly Demon has been reborn, and a great calamity is about to begin. The Great Luo Sword Sect inherits the ancient sword god's way, and it is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path. I, Sang Jueshen, in the name of the Great Luo Sword Sect Master, request the Great Luo Divine Sword to be activated and order all disciples to assemble in the main hall of the mountain gate."

Meanwhile, far away in central Tianshui Prefecture, a giant blue lotus flower was rapidly blooming.

Within the lotus flower lies a majestic mountain shrouded in mist, known as the Evergreen Mountain, the headquarters of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect.

At the top of Evergreen Mountain, a middle-aged man standing on a lotus flower and carrying a sword emerged from the clouds.

The man was dressed in white, had a handsome face, and a head of flowing black hair.

He is the sect leader of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect and a legendary figure named Li Twelve.

"The Heavenly Demon is indestructible. Although we don't know why this Heavenly Demon has appeared prematurely, since she has been reborn, a great calamity is inevitable!"

As Li Shier spoke, he flicked his hand in the air, and five blue lotuses bloomed between his fingers.

The five blue lotuses spun gently, as if they were real.

"The Azure Lotus Sword Sect, inheriting the will of the Valley Sword Saint and having survived the Demon-Sealing War, now faces the rebirth of the Heavenly Demon. Li Twelve, as the Sect Master of the Azure Lotus Sword Sect, will unseal the Azure Lotus Sacred Sword. Five elders, come to me immediately!"

Li Shier's expression was solemn. With a flick of his sleeve, the five blue lotuses swiftly vanished into the void and disappeared...

In the southern part of Tianlu Prefecture, there is a giant mountain surrounded by red mist. The mountain has a very strange name, "Boundless Calamity," and is the legendary site of the Hongchen Sword Sect.

The bells also chime continuously here.

At the summit of Mount Wuliangjie, a child who appears to be only five or six years old stands barefoot atop a giant sword statue.

The boy had a red dot between his eyebrows and star-like dots in his pupils. He was the sect leader of the Hongchen Sword Sect, named Qing Lingzi.

Qing Lingzi appeared young, but his gaze was incredibly profound. He looked into the void and said, "At this time, those ancient sects and aristocratic families should all know about the rebirth of the Heavenly Demon! The Heavenly Demon should not have been reborn at this time. The world has changed, but since the Heavenly Demon has been reborn, the war to seal the demon has begun..."

Behind the boy, on the plaza, many sword cultivators were kneeling, bowing in response.

Qing Lingzi continued, "Our Hongchen Sword Sect inherits the legacy of the ancient Red Dust Sword Immortal. A thousand years ago, during the Demon Sealing War, the Heavenly Demon perished beneath the Hongchen Immortal Sword. Now that the Demon Sealing War has begun again, you must not tarnish the sect's reputation! Pass down the order to find the Heavenly Demon's whereabouts and annihilate the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect!"

"yes!"

"Follow the law!"

The sword immortals in the square all responded in agreement, then mounted their flying swords and flew off in all directions...

The bell tolled, shaking heaven and earth. High-level NPCs appeared in the territories of some ancient sects and families, as well as in some secret realms beyond the borders. Among those NPCs, many were legendary figures, most of whom were of extremely high level and super strength.

The actions of these NPCs, along with sects, clans, and other forces, directly led to the emergence of many story quests. As more and more players encountered these storylines and received various quests to subdue them, the name of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect quickly spread.

Lu Chaoding was unaware of the situation outside, nor did he know that the rebirth of the Heavenly Demon was a very important plot point. At this moment, he was only focused on exploring the Heavenly Demon Cave.

The Heavenly Demon Cave is undoubtedly an ancient secret realm, containing many treasures. Lu Chaoding only explored it slightly and obtained a large number of skill books, weapons, pills, crafting blueprints, etc. He was also lucky enough to obtain a batch of Sword Intent Jade. After using it, he upgraded the [Gaze] sword technique to LV5, doubling its power. With gaze lock, it can cause the target to lose 32 health points per second.

"There seem to be some treasures on this enormous throne. Let me see what they are!"

Lu Chaoding arrived at a huge throne. Judging from its size, it was clearly reserved for the [Heavenly Demon] outside. On this throne were three treasure chests.

Lu Chao opened the first treasure chest and immediately received a system notification: "Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the Hongchen Sword Realm Master Artifact [Fragment 2 of the Hongchen Dao Box]!"

"Hmm? The Primordial Dust Dao Box! The main divine artifact of the Primordial Dust Sword Realm is called the Primordial Dust Dao Box!"

Lu Chaoding's body trembled. He grabbed a foot-long strip from the treasure chest. This strip was neither gold nor stone nor stone, and its luster was dim. He could not see anything mysterious about it. It was the [Fragment 2 of the Hongchen Dao Box].

"There are actually fragments of the Hongchen Sword Realm Lord's artifact here, tsk tsk, this seems to be a very high-level map!"

Lu Chao checked the attribute information of [Fragment 2 of Hongchen Dao Box] and learned that, like other plane main artifacts, there are a total of 108 fragments of Hongchen Dao Box. As long as they are collected, they can be combined into [Hongchen Dao Box], but obviously this is an extremely difficult task.

After collecting the [Fragment 2 of the Hongchen Dao Box], Lu Chaoding opened the second treasure chest on the throne.

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the [Heaven-Breaking Pill]!"

[Heaven-Breaking Pill: Special item, unique item, bound to your account. Consuming it directly increases the player's attack power to the required level. Explore the details yourself. Note: The effectiveness of the Heaven-Breaking Pill increases with the player's level and is cleared upon the player's death!]

"Instantly boosts the player's attack power to the threshold of their current realm! This pill is outrageous! This is a divine treasure!"

Lu Chao was overjoyed. He already had a large number of [Primordial Golden Pills]. If he continued to take them, it would only be a matter of time before his life value reached the threshold of his realm. After taking this [Heaven-Breaking Pill], both his life value and attack power would reach the threshold of his realm.

Although Lu Chaoding didn't quite understand what the realm threshold was, guessing it was some kind of numerical upper limit, he resisted the urge to immediately take the [Heaven-Breaking Pill] and then opened the last treasure chest on the throne.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained the special item, the Demon-Sealing Ranking!"

[Demon Sealing Ranking: A special item, exclusive to the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect. Limited to use by the Sect Leader or Supreme Elder. Description: Using the Demon Sealing Ranking can officially designate a player of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect as a demon. As long as the Heavenly Demon survives and the Ranking remains intact, players listed on the Ranking can be resurrected indefinitely and are exempt from any death penalties. Currently, the Ranking can seal a maximum of 100 demons. Sealed players cannot exceed the Heavenly Demon's level and cannot unseal themselves. Please explore further for details.]

"The Demon Sealing Ranking? That's pretty powerful too. Your name is recorded on the list, and you can be resurrected indefinitely, plus you're exempt from death penalties. Doesn't that mean you can roam freely?"

Lu Chaoding felt that the [Demon Sealing List] was also a valuable treasure. As the Lord of the Heavenly Demons, he could use it. However, after accessing its control panel, Lu Chaoding discovered that he could only seal demons from two players: Song Shu and Geng Jinfei, who worked as pimps at the Chunhua Brothel.
