The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud
Chapter 1129

<h1text-align:" center"=""><spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Chapter 1129: Role Reversal

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

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The words spoken by Yuan Shi at this moment completely exceeded his expectations. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They represented the most profound and novel knowledge about this world that he had ever encountered.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The series of awe-inspiring scenes that Yuan Shi had just revealed to him were, Su Jingzhen knew, undoubtedly real.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The "Immortal Realm" that Yuan Shi spoke of should be the collective term for the Emperor's Realm and the Cultivation World together.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">And yet, the Immortal Realm was just one of the worlds that the Starry Sky Demon Clan wanted to conquer. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This gave Su Jingzhen a glimpse of how powerful the Starry Sky Demonic Clan must be.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After piecing everything together, Su Jingzhen realized that if he weren't a cheat-like existence with a system, he might have been genuinely tempted at this moment. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, "the wise adapt to circumstances" was a principle he had understood in his previous life. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In a world that seemed devoid of hope, timely surrender might have been the better option.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But now, he possessed a system. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He was the Chosen One. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In his view, as long as he was given a few more years, he could probably defeat that so-called Demon Lord without even lifting a finger.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Thus, although he was inwardly shaken, Su Jingzhen maintained a calm exterior, even feigning a hint of naiveté - a demeanor befitting a physical saint.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yuan Shi, on the other hand, wore an extremely serious expression as he spoke. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The oath he had just made was akin to the Heavenly Dao Oaths commonly used by Su Jingzhen and others. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">For the Starry Sky Demonic Clan, such an oath had immense binding power.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Kid, this is the highest oath of the Starry Sky Demonic Clan. You should believe me now, right?" 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yuan Shi's soul form stared at Su Jingzhen, serious yet fearful.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, he could faintly sense two sacred auras intruding into Su Jingzhen's body. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without needing to think, he knew that it was the Sword Master who was catching up. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Without the support of a physical body, and with Su Jingzhen proving difficult to subdue, if the Sword Master's consciousness and soul entered as well, Yuan Shi's soul form would be no match. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At that point, the only option might be to perish along with Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Kid, you must understand that my current situation is extremely dangerous, and my patience is wearing thin. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If you still don't believe in my sincerity, then we can only destroy each other."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, his aura suddenly turned violent, as if his soul form was about to explode within Su Jingzhen's sea of consciousness at any moment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's face appropriately showed a trace of panic.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Wait, wait, let's talk about this. It's not worth it for you to perish together with a small fry like me. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Your proposal just now is something I can seriously consider."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's tone was full of fear.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hearing this, although Yuan Shi was pleased, he remained fierce and urgent. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"There is no time for you to think. Tell me your choice now!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, the aura around his soul form grew increasingly unstable, as if it might explode at any moment.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"All right, all right, I give up. I'm still young, and I don't want to die. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I agree to your proposal. I can give you control over my Sea of Consciousness and my body, but I have to protect myself. Please relax for a moment. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A force will soon descend upon you. I will use my own method to eliminate any aversion my body may have toward you. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Since we've decided to cooperate for mutual benefit, it's only right that I show some sincerity, isn't it?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, Su Jingzhen's expression remained tense.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Hearing this, although Yuan Shi frowned, he only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Hahaha, the wise adapt to circumstances. Kid, I have high hopes for you. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Rest assured, once I escape and help the Starry Sky Demon Clan's army descend upon this immortal realm, you will be the greatest contributor. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">I have already sworn an oath to protect you and ensure that you become the future Demon Lord of this realm."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing Su Jingzhen give in, Yuan Shi also breathed a sigh of relief. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He could still sense the Sword Master's consciousness and soul approaching, but as long as Su Jingzhen cooperated, he could instantly take control of his body. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Once he fused with the body, even if the Sword Master entered the sea of consciousness, he wouldn't be able to expel Yuan Shi unless they were willing to kill Su Jingzhen outright. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Thus, there was a high probability that he could escape this time.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, the shadow of an unremarkable black brick appeared within Su Jingzhen's sea of consciousness, radiating an intense black light and exuding a sacred aura.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing this shadow, Yuan Shi was momentarily stunned, but didn't pay much heed to it. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In his view, no matter how extraordinary Su Jingzhen was, he was still just a physical Saint. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As long as Su Jingzhen didn't want to die, he couldn't play any tricks on him. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if that happened, Yuan Shi was confident that he could handle it. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At worst, he could simply self-destruct his soul form and perish together with Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Thus, he obediently didn't resist, allowing the black light from the brick to envelop him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen felt both excitement and nervousness. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He hadn't expected his bluff against Yuan Shi to go so smoothly. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As long as he could trap Yuan Shi within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss with only soul form left, Yuan Shi would be at his mercy. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At that point, Yuan Shi's soul form would become a source of demonic energy for Su Jingzhen. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, as long as Su Jingzhen willed it, Yuan Shi wouldn't even be able to self-destruct.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The black brick within the Sea of Consciousness was merely a projection from Little Green, so its ability to absorb things was somewhat limited. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This made Su Jingzhen a little nervous. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If he couldn't trap Yuan Shi, he might push him to desperation. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Yuan Shi's soul self-destructed within the Sea of Consciousness, even with the world power Su Jingzhen had prepared, he would suffer severe damage, if not death. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This was not an outcome that he desired.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In the next moment, the black light completely enveloped Yuan Shi, and an overwhelming suction force erupted!

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yuan Shi's expression changed drastically, but by the time he tried to resist, it was already too late. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Little Green unleashed its full power within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, suppressing him momentarily. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">By the time Yuan Shi realized that something was wrong, he had already been pulled into the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this point, Su Jingzhen finally relaxed. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">All of his tension dissipated, replaced by relief. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was his domain now. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This time, from the moment he attempted to absorb the pure demonic energy, everything had gone beyond his expectations. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After his brush with death, he was still shaken. But now, everything was settled.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With the world power sealing the area, even the sword master's consciousness couldn't enter his sea of consciousness. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen decided to remain in his current state for a little while longer. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if Shengana and the others were worried, he would let them fret a bit more. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">First, he needed to deal with Yuan Shi.

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

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"The aura around the young master seems to have stabilized. What's his current condition?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">From Shengana's perspective, Su Jingzhen's aura was still strange, but it had stabilized. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This didn't ease their worries, but instead made them more anxious. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If Yuan Shi had successfully taken over Su Jingzhen's body, then Su Jingzhen was probably beyond saving.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, the Sword Master and Zhang Xiu exchanged glances, both looking shocked. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They had just attempted to infiltrate Su Jingzhen's sea of consciousness with their souls, but found it protected by an immensely powerful and sacred energy. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">They couldn't enter at all.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Zhang Xiu knew that it was the world power of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, but she wasn't sure if Su Jingzhen had done this intentionally or if he had been forced. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, Yuan Shi was much stronger than Su Jingzhen.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"His Sea of Consciousness is protected by a powerful force. We can't enter it. But I'll only wait for an hour. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">If he doesn't wake up by then, I'll take action to prevent any mishaps."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The Sword Master's tone was filled with regret, but it also carried a hint of murderous intent. His meaning was clear.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before he finished speaking, Qiu Yaoyao and the others erupted with a fierce aura, glaring at the Sword Master with hostility. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">However, the Sword Master ignored them, simply sitting cross-legged in the void. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With no other options, it might be necessary to sacrifice Su Jingzhen to eliminate the threat. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At least in the Sword Master's eyes, Su Jingzhen hadn't reached the point of being indispensable yet.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">For cultivators at their level, they understood what was truly important.

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

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Within the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Yuan Shi looked around in confusion, sensing the rich spiritual energy and somewhat incomplete rules of this place. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His unease reached its peak.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Where is this place? Kid, show yourself! Where have you taken me?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Instinctively, Yuan Shi summoned his demonic energy, forming a pure demonic shield around himself.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jingzhen's figure suddenly appeared before him.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Welcome to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Lord Yuan Shi!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Here, Su Jingzhen could freely manipulate the world's power to suppress Yuan Shi, so he had no qualms about revealing the name of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After all, he had no intention of letting Yuan Shi leave.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yuan Shi was momentarily stunned, but then, as if remembering something, his eyes filled with unparalleled shock.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You... what did you say? Where is it? The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss?!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Say it again, where is this place?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">At this moment, Yuan Shi's expression was utterly exaggerated. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Before Su Jingzhen could respond, his divine consciousness frantically extended outward, probing the surroundings.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">When he noticed the towering figure of Little Green standing ten thousand feet tall beside Creation Peak, his soul form once again froze. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Then, an expression of wild joy spread across his face.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"This... this really is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss! I've found the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss! 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This is a heavenly accomplishment, a heavenly accomplishment! 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This is even more important than conquering the Immortal Realm! 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Kid, you and I... we've hit the jackpot! 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Once the Starry Sky Demonic Clan conquers the Immortal Realm, you will undoubtedly become its future Demon Lord! Hahaha..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">After finishing his words, Yuan Shi burst into maniacal laughter. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His almost insane behavior left Su Jingzhen stunned for a moment. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">It seemed that Yuan Shi had not yet grasped the true nature of the situation.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Lord Yuan Shi, are you sure you understand what you're saying?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">A cold smile appeared on Su Jingzhen's lips. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With a casual wave of his hand, a vast surge of world power gathered at his fingertips. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In an instant, Yuan Shi felt his soul form immobilized in the void, completely unable to move.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"What... what's going on?"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Realizing that his power was completely restrained, Yuan Shi's arrogance and bravado vanished. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">His gaze instinctively turned to Su Jingzhen, and he quickly calmed down.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"=""> However, the unease in his heart only grew stronger.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Seeing the faint smile on Su Jingzhen's face, a terrifying thought appeared in Yuan Shi's mind.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"You... you brought me here? You're the one controlling the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss? 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">But... how is that possible? 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">This... this can't be! This is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He seemed to be asking a question, but then he immediately denied it himself. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The very idea seemed absurd. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He muttered to himself, "The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, which the Starry Sky Demonic Clan has searched for across countless realms, couldn't possibly be controlled by a mere physical Saint. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Even if this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is no longer in its perfect state... Yes, this place is no longer the legendary perfect world. It's possible that this is a fake..."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yuan Shi continued to ramble on, as if trying to convince himself of a reasonable explanation. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yet, no matter how much he tried to comfort himself, the cold reality remained: his soul form was completely restrained by Su Jingzhen.

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

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"It seems that Lord Yuan Shi has a hard time believing this. Well, whether or not this is the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss isn't important anymore. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">What's important is that our roles as hunter and prey are now reversed. And now I have two options for you to consider, Lord Yuan Shi."

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">With another casual wave of his hand, Su Jingzhen caused Yuan Shi's soul form to float toward him until they were about ten feet apart. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yuan Shi instinctively tried to gather his power to capture Su Jingzhen, but the force restraining him was far too advanced. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">He remained completely immobilized.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">The unease in his heart gradually turned into panic.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Kid... no, no, my friend, the promises I made to you earlier still stand. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">No, wait, if you can offer up the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss that you control, I swear to you that not only will you become the future Demon Lord of the Immortal Realm, but the Demon Lord himself will help you reach heights that you could never achieve on your own!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Yuan Shi's words were now stumbling, yet he was still clinging to his delusion.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Su Jingzhen's expression suddenly became serious.

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">"Enough. I'm done playing games with you. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Let's go back to what I said earlier. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">You still have two choices. First, cooperate with me. Answer whatever I ask, and if I need the pure demonic energy from you, you will willingly condense it for me. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">Second, get destroyed!"

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">As he spoke, Su Jingzhen's aura remained calm, but the world power pressing down on Yuan Shi grew even more immense. 

<spanfont-weight:" 400"="">In an instant, the pressure made Yuan Shi feel as though his soul form was on the verge of collapsing.
