Chapter 110 : My Lord, You've Given Birth!
"Who says cultivators can only have one life-bound named sword?" Not to mention others, even Qin Xixue in the original story had three life-bound weapons.
One Moon Splendor Sword, one Karma Burns the Three Realms, and one Mystic Spirit Sword.
Even after her first life-bound spirit sword broke, she usually used the latter two divine artifacts together, and nothing happened to the female protagonist.
However, under normal circumstances, most cultivators in the cultivation world indeed only contract with one life-bound spiritual tool. It's not that there's a hardware requirement to only contract with one, but rather that contracting a life-bound spiritual tool is both an opportunity and a burden, similar to contracting with demon beasts. Cultivators can only bear one life-bound weapon, otherwise, it's extremely easy to suffer backlash from the spiritual tool.
Afraid of backlash? What to do?
Add points, of course.
Chu Sang added all 10 points to her Physical Constitution.
[Physical Constitution: 50, Comprehension: 39, Aptitude: 16, Luck: 17]
After reaching 50 Physical Constitution, she could contract with two life-bound weapons without suffering backlash.
It was time for her to show off a bit.
Under the dazed gaze of the red phantom girl, Chu Sang formed hand seals to create a contract formation. A magic array flashed beneath her feet, and the spirit sword in her hand successfully contracted. The entire process was smooth and effortless. Far from experiencing backlash, it was even more comfortable than her first contract.
"How about that?" She dusted off her hands.
Karma Burns the Three Realms: "...It's like seeing a ghost."
Life-bound weapons can usually be directly stored in her dantian, summoned at any time, without worrying about being stolen.
Of course, it's still better to keep a low profile normally. If someone with ill intentions really covets it, they naturally have ways to dig out your dantian as well.
Su Chen'an came over in the evening and saw her still fondly handling the spirit sword. He couldn't help but smile and ask, "Have you named it yet?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Mystic Spirit Sword."
"Mm, that's a good name," Su Chen'an nodded with a light smile.
Of course it's a good name.
Because this name was given by him in the original story.
There can only be one Mystic Spirit Sword in the world.
Since the Mystic Spirit Sword in the original story was born from Fifth Senior Brother's hands and even brought him catastrophic disaster, then this Mystic Spirit Sword in her hands would replace that Mystic Spirit Sword, cutting off Fifth Senior Brother's tragic cannon fodder path.

Demon Realm.
Since the old Demon Sovereign died, the situation in the Demon Realm had been unstable. The seven Demon Lords fought for power among themselves, with small battles every three days and large ones every five days. Even other emerging demon forces and demon sects coveted the position of Demon Sovereign, trying to get a piece of the pie.
Although Yan Wangxing had defeated the other Demon Lords in the demon race competition and was undoubtedly the rightful new Demon Sovereign, he still couldn't enter the twelfth level of the Demon Cave to receive the inheritance and gain the recognition of the demon race.
After many days apart, he came to challenge the Twelve Demon Caves again. This was already the seventh time.
Yan Wangxing didn't want to come to this broken place at all, but the external pressure was there. Today, he must obtain the inheritance!
In his previous attempts to enter the Demon Cave, let alone successfully entering the twelfth level inheritance ground, he couldn't even break through the illusion of the second level.
After quickly breaking through the first level of the Demon Cave, he arrived again at the second level illusion where he had failed six times before.
Accompanied by crisp laughter like copper bells, more than ten graceful and charming beauties appeared in the illusion.
Yan Wangxing narrowed his eyes and gave a cold laugh. His heart was now unmoved; he could even slap these illusions to pieces without changing his expression.
After a while, another group of fragrant dancers embraced him from left and right.
Yan Wangxing thought, is this all the illusion can do?
How was he fooled by these little tricks before? Thinking about it now was extremely laughable!
The next moment, the woman in front of him raised her head and smiled sweetly at him. Yan Wangxing's demonic and disdainful expression suddenly changed. He almost fell to the ground, crying out, "...Don't come near me, stay away from me!?"
Damn, what a terrifying thing, why is it that female cultivator's face?
Too scary.
It's just too damn horrifying.
He never wanted to see such a terrifying thing again in his life. The second level of the Demon Cave was truly horrifying!
When Yan Wangxing woke up again, he was already back in the demon palace. Undoubtedly, he had failed again this time.
He pressed his brow, his head aching terribly.
He had been out of sorts for a while now. No, to be precise, ever since he was injured by those old fellows from the cultivation world two years ago, these two years had been extremely unlucky for him.
Especially after encountering that female cultivator, his luck had reached rock bottom.
New injuries added to old ones, and he was even struck by lightning tribulation. The injuries on his body had hardly healed for a few days... Even his realm had been stagnant, unable to break through further.
Yan Wangxing knew that his mental state had not been very stable, but he never expected to see that female cultivator in the second level of the Demon Cave this time. It was truly life-threatening and bizarre.
"...What's wrong with this lord?" He took a deep breath, his face gloomy.
The demon attendants and demon doctors knelt down in a group below, trembling, "My Lord, you've given birth!"
Yan Wangxing's face twisted for a moment, "Seeking death!"
"You've given birth to a heart demon!"
Damn it, not saying it all at once scared him. So it was giving birth to a heart demon. He thought... Wait, a heart demon?
Yan Wangxing was completely stunned. How could he, a mighty Demon Lord, have a heart demon??
"You dare deceive your lord, are you seeking death?!" Yan Wangxing rose in great anger.
The demon doctor spoke with difficulty, "Please calm your anger, My Lord. We wouldn't dare deceive you. But you have indeed given birth to a heart demon, which is why your realm has been difficult to break through..."
For him, a mighty Demon Lord, to give birth to a heart demon was an utter disgrace!!
Yan Wangxing's face looked extremely ugly as he slumped back into his seat. "...Heart demon, how to get rid of it?"
"May I ask what My Lord saw in the last scene of the illusion?"
Yan Wangxing recalled the last scene he saw in the secret realm, and his expression immediately became even uglier. Seeing his gloomy and dangerous look, the demon doctor was afraid to ask any more questions. He swallowed and chose his words carefully, "The second level illusion of the Demon Cave also has another name, called the Heart Demon Formation."
"If cultivators without heart demons enter, they will only encounter some ordinary illusions, which are not difficult to pass through."
"But if someone with a heart demon goes in, they will see their heart demon inside, causing severe damage to their divine sense... The last scene My Lord saw before fainting was your heart demon..."
Yan Wangxing clenched his fists, somewhat incredulous. His heart demon—was actually that young female cultivator??
"If the heart demon is not eliminated, My Lord will continue to be troubled by it, making it difficult for your cultivation to break through," the demon doctor added. "If My Lord wants to eliminate the heart demon, the simplest way is to eliminate the person who caused your heart demon."
"......"
Yan Wangxing waved his hand to dismiss them, his eyes deep in thought. It seemed that to eliminate the heart demon, he would have to kill that female cultivator.
But he had been to the cultivation world before and was hunted by those old fellows from the Immortal Sects. Those old fellows had set up layers of defense against him, so it might be difficult to go to the cultivation world again.
Moreover, investigating an unknown small cultivator in the vast cultivation world was like looking for a needle in a haystack, not very easy at all.
Just as he was deep in thought, a paper crane flew over.
He narrowed his eyes and caught the paper crane in his hand. Opening it, there were only four short words—
"I want to see you."

Meanwhile, in the Tianyan Sect, Qin Xixue had been confined in a forbidden area for self-reflection for half a year.
With her supreme treasures, she naturally had ways to escape.
But she was also well aware that this time she had already offended some of the sect disciples, causing them to be dissatisfied with her.
If she made trouble again this time, her image in the sect would probably really plummet.
So this time, Qin Xixue obediently served her half-year confinement.
Qin Xixue also understood Chang Yu's good intentions for her. Remembering the scene of being humiliated in the secret realm, she had been enduring humiliation and focusing on cultivation in the forbidden area for the past half year, without any outside disturbances, not much different from being in seclusion.
The density of spiritual energy in the forbidden area was no less than outside, and might even be better.
With the help of that old man's remnant soul, she also discovered a mysterious entrance to a paradise in the forbidden area.
It should have been left behind by a previous senior disciple or some ancestor of the Tianyan Sect who had been confined here before.
After entering, it was a whole new world... She obtained quite a few opportunities from it.
In just half a year, she successfully broke through her bottleneck, her cultivation increasing greatly, all the way to the peak of late Golden Core stage. Forming her Nascent Soul was just around the corner!
After coming out of seclusion, hearing the exclamations of admiration from the sect disciples, that sense of uneasiness in Qin Xixue's heart gradually dispersed.
Yes, this was her.
The center of attention, the one surrounded by adoring stars.
She was the pride of the Tianyan Sect, a once-in-a-century fire spirit root. This dazzling her was the real her... What happened before was just an accident!
However, even so, there was still one thing that made Qin Xixue feel uneasy, which needed to be resolved quickly.
Qin Xixue casually took a sect mission to go down the mountain. After disguising herself and concealing her aura, she immediately rushed to the Demon Realm to find Yan Wangxing.
Although she and Yan Wangxing had an unpleasant experience before, which broke their barely established relationship, later when Qin Xixue learned that Yan Wangxing was seriously injured, she specially entrusted someone to send him an extremely precious heaven-grade healing pill, which he accepted.
Shouldn't this be considered as clearing up the misunderstanding?
Qin Xixue was quite confident in her charm. After all, she had saved Yan Wangxing twice. She thought he would be very happy to see her, but unexpectedly, Yan Wangxing took three steps back, frowned, and said impatiently, "...If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't come so close to me."
"??!"
Qin Xixue was greatly embarrassed by his attitude of avoiding her like the plague. Her small face turned a bit pale. She tugged at the handkerchief in her hand and took a difficult step forward, "Wangxing, I—"
Yan Wangxing took another step back, his tone even more impatient, "I told you to stay away from me. Don't you understand?"
He hated women getting close to him the most in this life.
Qin Xixue felt a surge of anger that she couldn't release. After all, she had saved him twice and took a great risk to come see him. She never expected him to have this attitude??
If she had fed the pill to a dog, the dog would at least come and lick her a couple of times!
And wasn't Yan Wangxing supposed to be extremely fond of women? Qin Xixue was quite confident in her charm and beauty. Basically, no male creature she encountered could resist her.
Yan Wangxing had also fallen in love with her at first sight and obeyed her every command back then. If it weren't for Chu Sang's interference later, their relationship would probably be passionate by now.
Could it be that he was still hung up on what happened before?
Qin Xixue felt extremely wronged but really couldn't find a reason to defend herself. She could only swallow this bitter pill for now.
Her beautiful autumn-water eyes moved lightly, seeming to contain thousands of grievances and pleas. No man could resist a woman showing him such an expression.
Her tone was also soft and coquettish, inspiring pity and love, "Wangxing, I came to find you this time to ask for your help with something."
"What help?"
Yan Wangxing's attitude was very cold, resisting the urge to drive her out.
However, he did owe Qin Xixue for the heaven-grade pill that allowed him to recover from his injuries so quickly. Morally and reasonably, he should help her with one thing.
After hearing her request, Yan Wangxing curved his lips in a meaningful smile, seemingly not expecting her to ask for such a thing.
"...It's a pity you joined an Immortal Sect," he said meaningfully.
Qin Xixue heard the implication in his words. The fingers in her sleeve tightened slightly, her expression somewhat stiff, "I was raised by Master, so naturally I should join the sect to cultivate with him."
"Helping you is not a problem, but this matter is too risky. I can't guarantee those old fellows from before won't investigate me. So, I also have a condition."
"What condition?"
"Help this lord find someone."
Yan Wangxing waved his hand, and demon energy condensed into a light screen in front of them. Several figures appeared in it, finally focusing the image on the most eye-catching red-clad young woman among them.
He narrowed his eyes, his tone cold and dangerous, "This is a cultivator from your cultivation world. Help me find her."
He was determined to kill her with his own hands!
"Chu Sang?!" Qin Xixue's face was filled with shock. She never imagined that the person Yan Wangxing wanted help finding was actually her!
"...What do you want to find her for?" Qin Xixue asked warily.
"Naturally, to kill her," Yan Wangxing smiled wickedly, determined.
Qin Xixue breathed a sigh of relief. Counting it up, the two had both old and new grudges. She never expected Chu Sang to have offended even the Demon Lord. This was truly heaven helping her.
Even if Yan Wangxing hadn't brought this up, she would have dealt with this troublemaker sooner or later.
She didn't expect to get the Demon Lord's assistance this time. It was truly killing two birds with one stone.
"I know this person. Finding her is the easiest thing. I can help you," Qin Xixue said softly, concealing the viciousness in her eyes. "But after it's done, she needs to be handed over to me to deal with first. Afterward, whether she lives or dies is up to you."
"Fine, but what do you want her for?" Yan Wangxing usually didn't care about minor details. He just wanted his heart demon eliminated. "I need to ensure this person completely disappears from this world. Don't let her escape halfway."
"I hate her to the bone and want nothing more than her death. Naturally, I want to take this opportunity to torture her well! To vent the hatred in my heart!" In her extreme emotional state, Qin Xixue didn't even bother to pretend to be a gentle little white flower anymore.
Yan Wangxing's eyes showed a hint of approval as he looked at her. Demon race people like this kind of fierce and vicious person.
Of course, Qin Xixue wanted to dig out Chu Sang's spirit root.
Her spirit root had been increasingly withering over the past two years. She urgently needed to transplant a new spirit root, and Chu Sang's Heavenly Fire Spirit Root was naturally her best choice.
"Tell me your plan. How do you want to do this?"
