Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

343 Double-Edged Sword

Even Guo Rui’s cultivation was suppressed to the point where he could not use demonic energy, let alone those demons.

Su Cheng listened to Guo Rui’s words and said, “Isn’t this like a double-edged sword?”

Guo Rui smiled bitterly and said, “I don’t want to do this either, but there’s no other way.”

Su Cheng looked at Guo Rui and said seriously, “Think carefully. My purpose here is to Ascend. If you continue to delay here, even if you have a long life, you will die one day. Without destruction, there will be no establishment. You are an Immortal beast, so you shouldn’t use demonic Qi.”

Guo Rui’s thoughts were very complicated, but he did not say anything, nor could he say anything.

Su Cheng only reminded Guo Rui and did not let him make a decision. Su Cheng said, “Think about it.”

Such a choice was very painful. Their current cultivation was just one step away from Ascending. Now that they had scattered their cultivation and started all over again, it was equivalent to all their years of hard work being wasted.

Guo Rui sat on the futon and pondered for the whole night.

Dong Xi had also sat outside for the entire night. She originally wanted to study how the demonic Qi would turn into purple spiritual energy after being absorbed. Could purple spiritual energy turn into demonic Qi?

However, Dong Xi had just tried and felt something strange in the bamboo house.

The demonic Qi in Dong Xi’s body was attached to Su Cheng’s inner core. Dong Xi allowed the purple spiritual energy to devour it at will. There was no reaction at all.

“I almost forgot that there’s a formation here,” muttered Dong Xi.

This array was very powerful. No wonder Guo Rui said he could not leave this place.

As the moon rose, Dong Xi did not waste any time and entered a meditative state once again.

When Dong Xi was cultivating seriously, she noticed that the unknown elements around her had increased exponentially.

Su Cheng, who had his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked at the bamboo house.

Then, he looked at Dong Xi. Su Cheng’s expression became even more complicated.

At this moment, Dong Xi was surrounded by a gray object. She was absorbing the surrounding energy crazily.

Dong Xi’s spiritual energy was already circulating very quickly, and her meridians were faintly aching.

If Dong Xi had not tempered her meridians before, she would not have been able to withstand such an absorption speed.

After a night, the door of the bamboo house was opened.

Dong Xi, who was cultivating, also opened her eyes. Her eyes flashed, and she felt refreshed from the breakthrough.

Dong Xi stretched and said with a smile, “Good morning, Uncle-Master.”

Guo Rui nodded.

Dong Xi felt that something was wrong with Guo Rui today. Compared to the past, Guo Rui seemed like an ordinary person.

Dong Xi scratched the back of her head. Forget it, it was normal for these big shots to return to their original state. Dong Xi had no right to ask.

Dong Xi checked her own cultivation and was instantly shocked.

“I broke through! I broke through!” Dong Xi jumped up happily.

This was not normal. Dong Xi vaguely remembered that last night, she seemed to have felt a strange energy. It was especially strong, and Dong Xi had only absorbed a small portion of it by daybreak.

However, she did not expect that this small portion would send her to the peak of the Qi Refinement stage.

Guo Rui looked at Dong Xi, who was extremely happy, and his face gradually darkened.

Su Cheng knew what had happened. Looking at the defeated Guo Rui, Su Cheng felt a little amused.

However, Su Cheng was happy that Guo Rui could let it go.

If an Immortal beast fell into the Demon Realm, it would have to cultivate demonic Qi if it wanted to escape. However, once it left the Demon Realm, the demonic Qi would be like gangrene, which was detrimental to cultivation.

Dong Xi went from the small courtyard to the bamboo forest. She performed a set of fist techniques and felt the power. She was very happy.

Guo Rui stood on the steps and watched Dong Xi practice. He was very envious.

Guo Rui’s current cultivation was not even comparable to a child’s

Just as Guo Rui was feeling depressed, Su Cheng appeared in front of him.

Su Cheng handed Guo Rui a small spirit-gathering array. Su Cheng said, “Take it and cultivate.”

Guo Rui, “…”

Guo Rui thought, “Fine. I have a long life and good talent anyway. I’ll eventually become strong again.”

“Wait until you start cultivating with spiritual energy instead of demonic Qi,” Su Cheng continued. “The inheritance in your body will be unlocked bit by bit.”

Guo Rui was stunned for a moment and looked at Su Cheng. Guo Rui suppressed his excitement and was a little confused.

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Guo Rui asked.

“You didn’t ask me,” Su Cheng said indifferently.

Guo Rui, “…”

How could he ask? Guo Rui did not even know about this.

If Guo Rui had known, he would have started to disperse his cultivation and re-cultivate a few hundred years ago. Why would he wait until today?

Su Cheng immediately saw through Guo Rui’s thoughts. Su Cheng shook his head and said, “This time, it’s not a Heart Tribulation for you. You have to go through it yourself.”

Guo Rui stood rooted to the ground and started thinking.
