Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal?-Chapter 255: Forced Breakthrough

Chapter 255: Forced Breakthrough

【This is your second fate-divination of the day... Initiating fate-divination!】

【Fate-divination failed. The target’s fate is being concealed! Forced breakthrough requires reducing Luck Deficit to at least 500 layers!】

Chen Huaian: “?? What?! Even this is blocked?”

But he quickly came to his senses.

It made sense—Danyun must’ve used some method to protect her daughter.

That also explained why the Yaochi Holy Land had never managed to find Dan Bai all these years.

“Fate-divination: how can I obtain the recipe for the Hunyuan Heaven-Mending Pill?” Chen Huaian changed the question.

【Initiating fate-divination… This is your third attempt today. The cost has been deducted.】

In the Cangyun Realm, the skies once again shifted ominously.

But at this point, no one paid attention to the frequent changes in the heavens.

Even the appearance of the golden vertical eye only made people blink lazily—they were used to it by now.

【Fate-divination complete. Obtain the recipe by locating Dan Bai or Danyun.】

“You’ve got to be f***ing kidding me!”

What a waste!

He basically paid to hear the exact same thing he already knew.

Give him his ten grand back!

Chen Huaian gritted his teeth.

This was like buying a battle pass, collecting all the rewards, then brainlessly paying extra for the deluxe pass—just to level up 10 more times for nothing.

“Fine, looks like I’ll have to clear my Luck Deficit.”

He glanced at his whopping 987 layers of Luck Deficit and felt dizzy.

To be honest, it wasn’t that bad in day-to-day life—

he wouldn’t die from things like getting electrocuted, falling into open manholes, or flaming helicopters exploding nearby.

It just added a little spice to an otherwise boring life.

But the one thing he couldn’t stand?

Severe constipation, or biting into a meal and finding steel wool or a dead fly.

No way was he giving up food.

Humans had mouths and invented cuisine for a reason—it was to enjoy life.

Back when he had no money, he just gritted his teeth and swallowed it all down.

Now that he was rich, it was time to end this cursed lifestyle.

Chen Huaian opened the player menu, selected the debuff 〈Luck Deficit 987〉, and hit “Clear All.”

【Clearing ‘Luck Deficit 987 layers’ will cost:

100×1,000 + 300×10,000 + 300×100,000 + 287×1,000,000

= Total: 320 million. Confirm?】

“Three hundred twenty mil? That’s pocket change! Do it!”

【Payment complete. Your Luck Deficit has been cleared!】

The moment the notification popped up,

Chen Huaian felt like a breeze swept past his face—

Birdsong! Flowers blooming!

He never really noticed the weight of 987 layers of bad luck.

But now that it was gone, he felt amazing—like he’d lost ten pounds!

The sensation was like finally getting into a public restroom after holding it in for hours, ripping off your pants, and unleashing a flood of relief.

“SO GOOD!!”

Chen Huaian struck a pose—one foot on the Sword Pavilion stele, hands on his hips.

“Now—forcefully break through and locate Dan Bai for me!”

【Initiating fate-divination. Target’s fate is concealed. Beginning forced breakthrough!】

【Player has gained 500 layers of Luck Deficit.】

Chen Huaian gave an evil grin and instantly spent 13.1 million to clear the new 500-layer debt.From this day forward, he vowed: he would carry zero Luck Deficit.

𝘙ÁƝöΒЕⱾ

He refused to be a “constipation boy” ever again.

【Forced breakthrough complete. Dan Bai’s location has been marked on the map!】

…

Meanwhile, deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

A hidden valley beneath the clouds, resting quietly under the moonlight.

Next to a wooden cabin, a girl in a plain white dress rolled up her sleeves, carefully sorting sun-dried spiritual herbs on a bamboo tray.

All around her were squirrels, mountain sparrows, rabbits—

some even monster beasts.

They all stared at her longingly.

“Just a little longer. The ingredients are ready, but the meal still needs time,”

she said with a gentle smile, patting a chubby sparrow on the head.

That sparrow was the size of a drum, so fat its meat jiggled when it moved.

It had over three centuries of spiritual energy—definitely king of the sparrows.

Dan Bai was just about to take the herbs inside to boil water—

when a sudden sense of dread swept down from the sky.

The animals and beasts around her were even more sensitive.

They dropped to the ground, trembling violently.

She looked up toward the sliver of sky visible between the cliffs.

Her mother had placed a powerful illusion array here years ago—

one that had lasted through time.

Even Real Person Yuyao of Yaochi Holy Land, at the Ascension Realm, had never found this place.

Usually, when spiritual senses swept overhead, she felt nothing.

But today—today was different.

BZZZZZT—!

Dan Bai’s pupils shrank.

From within the clouds… a massive golden vertical eye slowly opened.

Its gaze covered a wide area,

but somehow—she knew it was looking straight at her. freeweɓnovel.cøm

A split second later—

KRA-KOOM!!

A bolt of golden lightning tore through the sky, striking straight toward the valley.

Dan Bai’s face turned pale.

She instinctively raised her arms to shield herself.

When she looked again,

the illusion array over the valley had cracked like spiderwebs.

Inside the cabin, the formation disk in the corner had already melted.

She watched helplessly as the runes etched into the array crumbled apart—

her mother’s masterpiece.

An array built with her life’s knowledge and countless rare materials…

was torn through like paper.

Thankfully, it was just one strike.

The golden eye had only one goal: destroy the array.

Once it confirmed the damage was done, it slowly faded back into the clouds.

In no time, the sky cleared.

Moonlight and stars returned.

It was the first time Dan Bai had ever seen the clear night sky outside her valley.

But she had no time to enjoy it.

“The array’s broken. I have to leave—now.”

Dan Bai bit her lip, eyes flashing with urgency.

She didn’t even spare a final look at the animals that had kept her company all these years.

Yaochi Holy Land could show up any minute.

She had to find a new place to hide.

Right now, she still didn’t have the power to rescue her mother.

If she got caught too, then there’d be no hope left.

…

Chen Huaian had no idea that his forced breakthrough had just thrown the target into danger.

He’d always assumed it just “read” fate more accurately—

not that it would blast apart someone’s concealment array.

Had he known,

he definitely would’ve surrounded the array first,

then destroyed it.

Chen Huaian immediately opened the map and saw the marked location:

Deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Right near the territory of the monster race.

To survive there,

either Danyun had given her extremely thorough protection,

or Dan Bai herself was a total powerhouse.

No time to waste.

Chen Huaian prepared to head out immediately.

Just as he spread his spiritual sense—

the minimap’s environment suddenly changed.

A massive red ring appeared, taking up nearly half the minimap.

Eighteen smaller circles surrounded it, nested within the larger ring—

like alien crop circles left by UFOs.

But this was the Cangyun Realm.

Chen Huaian knew immediately—

this was a formation.

Someone had set up a massive array around him while he was in his private realm?!

His eyes narrowed sharply.

On the minimap, a red dot was directly on top of his own white triangle marker.

If the enemy wasn’t on the ground—

Then they were in the sky!!!
