The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud
Chapter 1082

<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1082: The 200th Step. All Eyes on Them!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Huh? Are these three from the Clearspring Sect? It seems like they're not locals of the Clearspring Sect,"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The elder responsible for distributing tokens from the Lin Clan also noticed Su Jingzhen and the other two climbing rapidly at this moment, his expression slightly surprised.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Many people fail to grasp the rhythm of the Divine Demon Staircase in the beginning and recklessly pursue speed. They often run out of steam later on. I wonder how far these three can go."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Now that they've reached the 50th level, I estimate that if they keep up the pace, they'll reach around the 150th level with the aura they're displaying. At most, they'll reach the 180th level."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"After all, they're only at the Spirit Immortal level, and one of them seems to be a body cultivator. With such a cultivation, it's too difficult to break into the top ten."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After probing with their divine consciousness, many Lin Clan cultivators came to similar conclusions. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They were somewhat interested in Su Jingzhen and the others, but they didn't hold high expectations for them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After passing the 50th step, Su Jingzhen and the others found that the pressure acting on them remained the same. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The expected illusions or other tests had yet to appear.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen couldn't help but frown.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If it's only at this level, then they are bound to be in shock again," he muttered to himself.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, Su Jingzhen quickly ascended hand in hand with Qiu Yaoyao and Shengana. They climbed two or three steps in a single breath, without even panting.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In one go, they reached the 90th step.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this point, the pressure on Su Jingzhen and the others had become extremely intense. Even Su Jingzhen had to activate his defenses.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, it still couldn't stop their progress.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When Su Jingzhen took another step forward, his vision suddenly shifted.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He found himself in a vast, white space filled with swirling clouds and powerful energy fluctuations.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The next moment, a soldier clad in white armor emerged from the mist.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The aura emanating from this soldier was at the peak of the Great Perfection Realm, only slightly weaker than Su Jingzhen's energy level.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But Su Jingzhen didn't attack right away.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He checked himself and found that all of his abilities were still usable. Even Bai Suzhen in his Spirit Beast Pouch could be summoned at any time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This reassured him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The illusion created by the Divine Demon Staircase couldn't uncover his secrets.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In reality, the principle was simple: the 91st step of the Divine Demon Staircase had opened a space and pulled his true body into it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, to all the spectators, Su Jingzhen appeared to be standing still.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If that's the case, then it's simple."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen struck out with his palm, and the energy-formed armored soldier vanished into nothingness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The soldier didn't even have a chance to attack Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After leaving the illusion, Su Jingzhen glanced at Qiu Yaoyao and Shengana beside him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Both of them had also broken free from the 91st step almost instantly.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen said to Shengana, "Shengana, starting from the 91st step, it seems that the trials are combat-based illusions. Can you handle it? If not, I can have Bai Suzhen help you."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After understanding the mechanics of the Divine Demon Staircase, Su Jingzhen had already planned that if Shengana's combat power wasn't sufficient to reach the top ten, he would have Bai Suzhen secretly assist her by possessing her body.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Bai Suzhen was at the level of an Immortal King. As long as she didn't openly reveal her true form as a white serpent, it would be difficult for anyone to detect her presence.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shengana smiled slightly. "For now, it's not necessary. But if I need help, I won't hesitate to ask, Master."

[Remaining Available Points: 20,800]

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After speaking, Shengana provided another double boost of emotional connection.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After a brief exchange, the three of them didn't hesitate and stepped onto the 92nd step simultaneously.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As expected, the 92nd step also pulled them into another spatial illusion.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Here, another armored energy soldier awaited them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The soldier at the 92nd step had broken through to the early Spirit Immortal level, matching Su Jingzhen's cultivation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, it was still just an energy construct that could only perform basic attacks.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen didn't waste any time. With a burst of blood energy, he punched the soldier into nothingness.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if it was a real cultivator at the same level, Su Jingzhen's foundation would allow him to defeat them in one move, let alone a mere energy soldier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qiu Yaoyao and Shengana were almost in sync with Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The three of them broke through like a hot knife through butter, charging straight to the 100th step.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the 100th step, Su Jingzhen encountered soldiers at the middle Spirit Immortal level, although the number had increased to two.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this level, Shengana kept up with them, relying solely on her own strength.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It took the three of them less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick to go from the 1st step to the 100th step.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">All those watching them furrowed their brows.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I have been watching this climbing trial from the beginning. Even those who are at the top now didn't climb as fast as those three at the beginning."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Could they really have the potential to break into the top ten?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Many spectators around began to change their previous opinions, now filled with anticipation for Su Jingzhen and the other two.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Those who were familiar with the Divine Demon Staircase knew that reaching the 100th step meant that there was a high probability of reaching the 200th step.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By the time they reached the 200th level, they would be on par with those at the top.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, in the Lin Clan's area of the square, a woman in a white dress with an aloof and slightly arrogant demeanor turned her attention to Su Jingzhen and the other two.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was none other than the protagonist of this event, the Flying Snow Sword Immortal, Saintess Lin Ying!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Saintess, it seems that these three are worth paying some attention to. Their potential seems to be quite good," someone beside her said.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Lin Ying nodded slightly and added, "Let's see if they can surpass those at the top first. Until the end, everything is still uncertain."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As she spoke, Lin Ying's expression remained unchanged. Clearly, as the lowest-ranked saintess, she was under immense pressure regarding the Sword Qi Corridor event.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Ten Saintesses of the Sword Land were not permanently secure in their positions.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Countless outstanding female disciples were eyeing her spot.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Lin Ying performed too poorly in this Sword Qi Corridor event, she could easily be replaced.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If that happened, the Lin Clan's status in the Sword Land would also plummet.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As everyone watched, Su Jingzhen and the others quickly reached the 110th level.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just like at the beginning, after the 100th step, the pressure changed.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This time, it seemed to press on their souls, filled with an overwhelming demonic aura.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this point, Su Jingzhen and the others understood why this was called the Divine Demon Staircase.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">First divine, then demonic - one acting on the body, the other on the soul.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But neither phase bothered Su Jingzhen and the others.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In fact, when it came to the soul, whether it was Su Jingzhen, Shengana, or Qiu Yaoyao, they all handled it more effortlessly than the earlier divine pressure on their bodies.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Soon, they reached the 190th level in a short time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the crowd, Li Lingxi and Ning Yao smiled.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They knew that with this performance, Su Jingzhen and the others were firmly in the clear.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I thought they would keep a low profile and hide their strength a bit. I didn't expect them to be so direct. But this is good too; it saves the most time."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, a white light flashed over Su Jingzhen's body.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Bai Suzhen had quietly hidden herself within Shengana.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The 191st step would undoubtedly be another battle-based illusion test.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, the combat power from the 91st to the 100th step wasn't too high.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With Bai Suzhen aiding Shengana, they could ensure that she kept up.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The three of them then stepped onto the 191st step simultaneously.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The scene was almost the same, but this time, the energy in the illusionary space had turned black.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Demonic energy filled the air, creating an eerie atmosphere.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen stood in front of three demon soldiers at the mid Spirit Immortal level.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"If it's only at this level, then the Divine Demon Staircase is a bit disappointing," Su Jingzhen muttered.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He then struck out with lightning speed and quickly dispatched the three demon soldiers.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By the 195th step, the opponents had reached the late Spirit Immortal level.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">These demon soldiers were tailored to the cultivation level of the climber.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">While Su Jingzhen was facing Late Spirit Immortal level soldiers, Shengana and Qiu Yaoyao's opponents had reached the mid Mystic Immortal realm.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, with Bai Suzhen's covert assistance, even Shengana crushed her opponents with ease.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By the time they reached the 200th level, Su Jingzhen's opponents were still at the late Spirit Immortal level, even though their number had increased to ten.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Increasing the quantity but not the quality won't work for me. For me, quantity doesn't lead to a qualitative change," Su Jingzhen said to himself.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, Su Jingzhen activated the Netherworld Ghost Technique.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The illusionary space was instantly filled with Su Jingzhen's afterimages.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen wielded a long sword in his hand, opting not to use the black brick as it was too distinctive.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He knew that the Lin Clan, or the true controller of the Divine Demon Staircase, could see the battles within the illusions.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">For now, he didn't want to reveal his true identity.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this point, it made little difference to him whether he wielded a sword or a black brick.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's true body took a few steps forward, his sword flashing as he cut through the demon soldiers like a hot knife through butter.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Those mindless demon soldiers couldn't even touch him before they were shattered.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The test of the 200th step was easily completed in less than ten breaths.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It didn't even force Su Jingzhen to use his full strength.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Qiu Yaoyao and Shengana stayed in sync with him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The entire square fell silent.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Second Elder, bring me the information on these three," Lin Ying said, no longer able to maintain her composure. Her eyes were shining with excitement.
