The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud
Chapter 1127

<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1127: Attempting to Absorb Demonic Energy

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Li Lingxi initially thought that her Sky-Piercing Shuttle had such immense power that it could break through the demonic barrier. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She was even startled by its supposed strength. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, when she saw the Iron Sword in the Sword Master's hand, she immediately understood. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At the same time, seeing the anxious look on Su Jingzhen's face, Li Lingxi felt her eyes grow slightly moist.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even though she was a newly advanced Immortal Emperor, and even though she had survived the Tribulation of the Five Elements, she had truly felt a sense of despair at that moment. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">For someone who had truly faced death, the sight of hope was indescribably moving.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before Su Jingzhen and the others could even speak as they approached, a golden text appeared in front of Su Jingzhen's eyes:

[Emotional Connection with Li Lingxi has reached: Slight Fondness!

Level Bonus: 2x

Cultivation Bonus: 16x]

[Emotional Connection +32]

[Emotional Connection +32]

[Emotional Connection +32]

[Remaining Available Points: 27,028]

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this golden text, Su Jingzhen was momentarily stunned, but then he was overcome with joy. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This time, he had only rushed over in a moment of urgency, asking the Sword Master to accompany him. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He hadn't even considered the possibility of getting rewards. His sole concern had been Li Lingxi's safety, but now he had unexpectedly reaped such a significant benefit.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Li Lingxi was an Immortal Emperor! 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if she was only at the second level, this was still a massive boost. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They had reached Slight Fondness. How far could Mutual Appreciation go? How far could "Mutual Affection" go? How far could... pushing her down be? 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was an Immortal Emperor, the leader of the superpower Divine Dan Sect! 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Just thinking about it made his blood boil.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Indeed, since my Sword Land has already been infiltrated by demons, it's impossible that there are only one or two of them. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A fifth-level Immortal Emperor Demon must be a high-ranking demon general. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Killing two of these generals would be a significant loss for your side. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Whether or not the Immortal Empire will be plunged into chaos, I don't know, but you infiltrators will not live to see that day."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sword Master held the Iron Sword, his killing intent reaching its peak. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing Sword Master arrive in time, the demon frowned. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His demonic aura was still intense and his fighting spirit was undiminished, but his feet tapped rapidly in the void as he retreated frantically.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With Sword Master's appearance, the demon could roughly guess the situation at Sword Land's headquarters. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although he was filled with anger and regret, he also had a clear understanding of his own strength. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Facing a seventh-level Immortal Emperor like Sword Master, he stood no chance.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Are you trying to escape? As you said, it's too late."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the demon started to flee, a sharp sword energy rose within a radius of five miles, forming an impenetrable barrier. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was something the Sword Master had set up when they first arrived, before Li Lingxi and the demon had noticed it. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was to prevent the demon from escaping.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Upon realizing the existence of this barrier, the demon's expression turned grim. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With his strength, he immediately understood that he could break through the sword master's energy barrier, but it would take considerable time. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">For beings of his level, life and death could be decided in an instant. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">There was no time for him to waste in breaking the barrier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Sect Master Li, I assume you have plenty of recovery items. Please rest and recuperate here while keeping an eye on these few. I'll take care of this demon."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without waiting for Li Lingxi's response, the sword master stepped forward, his fighting spirit condensed to its peak. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With a horizontal slash of the Iron Sword, a blazing sword energy swept towards the demon. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Sword Master's seventh stage Immortal Emperor Aura was fully unleashed, leaving no room for doubt.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">From the beginning, the demon had felt a sense of fear. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Like the one that had possessed the Third Elder earlier, he immediately condensed a defense of pure demonic energy while continuously attacking the Sword Master's sword energy barrier, trying to find an opportunity to escape.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, although Sword Master was strong, he was still far from the level of the Sword Ancestor's sword energy. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He couldn't completely subdue the demon. In the end, he might be able to kill the demon, but it would likely take some time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Meanwhile, Su Jingzhen looked at the pure demonic energy scattered in the void after the demonic barrier was shattered and felt a sense of curiosity. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His eyes turned to Shengana.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Shengana, come with me."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hearing this, Shengana looked slightly confused, but instinctively followed Su Jingzhen to the edge of the battlefield.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Young master, what are you going to do?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen stopped in front of a mass of pure demonic energy, and Shengana's expression showed a hint of concern. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Of course, she remembered Su Jingzhen's strange condition earlier in the square. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Although Su Jingzhen's eyes weren't bloodshot now, he still seemed unusually excited.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Shengana, use your purest forest elf power to see if you can purify this demonic energy."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shengana was even more surprised, but she didn't hesitate. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She pulled out her staff, and a green-emerald light enveloped her body. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the next moment, a sacred purification energy covered the mass of demonic energy before them.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the scene Shengana had imagined did not happen. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The demonic energy twisted a few times, but eventually ignored Shengana's purifying power. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Of course, it couldn't be said to have been completely ignored-the mass of demonic energy before them had become smaller, but it was also more refined. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This demonic energy was clearly of an extremely high level, and only the impurities within it had been purified.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Young master, this demonic energy is too advanced. With my current abilities, I can't purify it fully. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Perhaps only someone at the level of an Immortal King, like the clan leader, could do it."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shengana smiled bitterly, but she wasn't discouraged. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, this demonic energy came from an Immortal Emperor level demon. It was only natural that she couldn't purify it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, before she could finish speaking, her expression turned to one of shock.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Young master, what... what are you doing?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She saw Su Jingzhen reaching his hand into the mass of refined demonic energy, seemingly activating a technique to absorb it into his body. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The demonic energy seemed to be drawn to his palm, rapidly converging toward it.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was something from an alien race, not from this world. What kind of reaction would absorbing it into his body cause? No one knew.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Shengana wanted to stop him, but Su Jingzhen waved her off with a serious expression on his face.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"I know what I'm doing."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Inside Su Jingzhen's body, which Shengana couldn't see, every meridian glowed with a seven-colored light. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The energy of the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame was already waiting. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen had always been a cautious person, how could he not be prepared? 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame couldn't purify and control the demonic energy, then the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss would serve as his last resort.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The refined demonic energy instantly surged into his palm, and like a floodgate opening, the demonic energy scattered in the void quickly converged toward him. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as it entered his body, it began to rampage through his meridians.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately activated the energy of the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as the holy power of the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame appeared, the demonic energy was completely dissipated and turned into ordinary energy that was absorbed by Su Jingzhen's body.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The boost to his cultivation was minimal. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even with such a vast amount of demonic energy entering his body, his cultivation level didn't even break through from the first level of the Flesh Body Saint Realm to the second level. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It was far from what he had imagined.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"After being burned by the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame, this demonic energy has lost its original potency. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But if I don't use the Seven-Colored Purifying Flame, I would probably be destroyed instantly. This is tricky."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen muttered to himself, cutting off his absorption of demonic energy in the void. He had already figured out the main problem.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The commotion they caused also caught the attention of Zhang Xiu and the others who were watching the battle. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing Su Jingzhen's furrowed brow, Zhang Xiu's eyes showed a hint of surprise. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She then took out the demonic crystal left behind by the other demon they had killed in the square earlier.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Mr Su seems to be interested in this demonic energy. This demonic crystal might be useful."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu muttered to herself and walked over to Su Jingzhen. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">She possessed the complete memories of the Sword Ancestor, so her knowledge far surpassed that of Shengana and the others. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In her view, whether it was demonic energy or spiritual energy, as long as it helped one's cultivation, it was good energy. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The so-called distinction between good and evil was just a matter of the user's moral code.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">So as long as this thing was truly useful to Su Jingzhen, she wouldn't stop him - in fact, she would fully support him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Mr Su, the demonic energy here contains a trace of the essence of the foreign demons. In terms of the energy level, this thing is undoubtedly quite advanced. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But it seems that it didn't meet your expectations?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu walked over and smiled gently at Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen scratched his head. "It is indeed extraordinary. I feel like I can absorb it, but it's too advanced. That's also a kind of problem."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu smiled again. "Why not try this? It might help you."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before she finished speaking, she tossed the demonic crystal to Su Jingzhen. Su Jingzhen caught it, his expression immediately turning excited.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as the demonic crystal was in his hand, he felt the surrounding demonic energy rapidly converging toward him, or more accurately, into the demonic crystal. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The energy was perfectly conserved.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen then tried to absorb the demonic energy from the crystal, and it worked without any hindrance.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen was overjoyed. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Now wasn't the time for him to study this in detail, but with the demonic crystal, he could experiment whenever he wanted.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen began to wander around the edges of the battlefield with the Demon Crystal in his hand. Wherever he went, the demonic energy scattered in the void was absorbed into the crystal.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As the energy inside the crystal grew stronger, Su Jingzhen's aura became strange once again. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His eyes involuntarily turned blood red, just like when he had been immersed in the slaughter previously.
