What If I Can't Die?-Novel

387 Refining Demonic Qi

Outside the passageway, in the Heavenly Prison, no Demonic Qi surged out. The concentration of Demonic Qi in the surroundings began to decrease as it dissipated.

Emperor Qian mobilized people to deal with the Demonic Qi. He did not dare to use Nomological power to offset it like Song Shi. Instead, he got someone to seal the Demonic Qi with a container.

When they were almost done dealing with the residual Demonic Qi, they seized the time to repair the Array Formation. With an array master like Tian Jizi presiding over it, a new array was activated on the original foundation.

Three days later, Emperor Qian solemnly inserted the damaged Black Dragon Spear into the core of the Array Formation and said to Tian Jizi, “You can activate it now.”

A stream of Nomological power landed, and the array patterns engraved in the Heavenly Prison space lit up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Circles of Array Formation light spread out, forming a new barrier. The entire Heavenly Prison turned into a special space, blocking the plane passage.

“It should be done. I’ll inform my son-in-law.”

Emperor Qian finally heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he could block this passageway, it would be much easier to resolve the Demonic Qi outside.

He used the authority of the Array Formation to enter the spatial rift and discovered that the Demonic Qi here was actually very thin. While he was surprised, he also sensed that the Demonic Qi nearby did not surge towards the Array Formation, but converged into the depths of the spatial rift.

“This doesn’t make sense. How can Demonic Qi flow backward?”

Emperor Qian was dumbfounded. After entering curiously, he was stunned to discover that Demonic Qi was gathering towards a figure.

This person was Song Shi. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged in the Void rift, in a cultivation state.

The surrounding Demonic Qi was similar to the Spirit Qi that he usually absorbed when he was cultivating. It was flowing over continuously.

This was a normal cultivation phenomenon. The problem was how Song Shi could absorb Demonic Qi. Wasn’t Demonic Qi equivalent to poison to them?

“Are you all right?”

Emperor Qian’s tone could not be calm. He thought of something and hurriedly said, “You don’t have to block the Demonic Qi like this. We’ve already repaired the Array Formation outside the spatial rift. It can block the Demonic Qi for a while.”

Song Shi opened his eyes. One of his eyes was as bright as the sun, shining with golden light. The other eye was dark and cold, like a demonic eye. His entire body emitted a strange aura, as if good and evil coexisted as one. Light and darkness coexisted.

The strange aura frightened Emperor Qian. He thought that Song Shi had been possessed by a demon from the spatial passageway.

“What was I doing? Isn’t it just cultivation?” Song Shi replied indifferently.

“But you’re absorbing Demonic Qi…”

Emperor Qian pointed at the Demonic Qi that was still gathering towards Song Shi before being devoured.

“Why can’t I absorb Demonic Qi? It’s also a type of energy. Those demons can absorb it, and so can Demon Venerable Yu Hua. Why can’t I absorb it?”

Song Shi said matter-of-factly.

Emperor Qian was stunned. He carefully observed Song Shi and realized that he did not seem to have been possessed.

“When humans absorb Demonic Qi, they will become monsters like Demon Venerable Yu Hua. You don’t look too abnormal. Could it be that you have some trick?”

“I just figured out how to fuse it with my Spiritual Qi.”

Song Shi raised his hand. Under his Crowd Control, the Demonic Qi condensed into a small black ball that morphed according to his will. “Even if it’s not compatible with Demonic Qi, it can still be forcefully refined. Moreover, I discovered that Demonic Qi has a miraculous effect on tempering the body.”

“…”

Emperor Qian did not know what to say. Perhaps this was the ability of an immortal. It was not something an ordinary cultivator like him could understand.

“I sensed the fluctuations of the Array Formation just now. It’s already repaired, right?”

Song Shi stood up. “Since there are no more problems for the time being, hurry back and hold the wedding. I want to give your daughter a proper status.”

“You still remember this. I thought you forgot.”

Emperor Qian revealed a gentle smile and flew out with Song Shi. He began to talk about his daughter with a proud expression. “Xi’er has been very sensible since she was young. After she marries over, she will definitely be able to assist you very well.”

“Wu Xi is indeed a capable and talented woman.”

Song Shi nodded. Just the fact that Wu Xi was willing to exchange her future for his help in Great Qian was enough for him to praise her.

“It’s just that this child has suffered too much. She grew up in the palace and couldn’t avoid all kinds of battles and hardships. When she grew up, she was immediately put in charge of the intelligence of this country, so she didn’t enjoy her life. I hope you can treat her well.”

Emperor Qian said guiltily.

Song Shi was made known to Wu Xi’s hidden secrets and agreed seriously. “Yes. As my woman, I naturally won’t let her suffer anymore…”

“Thank you.”

Emperor Qian felt relieved.

“Your Majesty, Perfected Immortal Lord.”

In the Heavenly Prison, Tian Jizi cupped his fists politely.

Song Shi nodded and looked around. “Fellow Daoist Tianji Zi, you’ve set it up well. However, it’s best to add a warning Array Formation too. I’m worried that a demonic creature will come from the other end of the passageway.”

Tianji Zi was reminded of this and said, “I’ll arrange it immediately.”

“Let me know if anything unusual happens.”

Song Shi glanced at the spatial rift and felt that a group of monsters could rush out of the pitch-black passageway at any moment.

“I’ll arrange for a garrison to patrol at all times. If there’s really a situation, we can resist it.”

Emperor Qian was also a little worried. Although he agreed with Emperor Li and felt that an Upper Realm like the Heavenly Demon World would most likely not like this world,

The question was, what if they were interested?

It was only wise to arrange more backup plans.

After making more suggestions, Song Shi and Emperor Qian flew out of the Heavenly Prison.

The young man beside Tian Jizi watched as Song Shi’s figure disappeared. He then said emotionally, “Master, we made the right choice. In the end, Great Qian managed to hold on.”

“Actually, you and I did’t have many choices to choose from. Because we mostly followed our hearts.”

Tian Jizi shook his head. They were considered the righteous bunch in Great Qian and would not surrender to the demonic sect.

Song Shi rushed out of the dungeon and let out a carefree breath. His terrifying lung capacity blew up a huge gust, and there was a faint sound of thunder.

The demonic clouds in the outside world dissipated a lot and returned to normal. The people on the streets had basically regained their senses and the officials were getting cultivators to help expel the Demonic Qi from the ordinary folks.

The dead were piled up and cremated. Under the power of the flames, everything was purified.

The Great Qian army patrolled the city with a solemn expression. If anyone caused trouble, they would quickly suppress them. The entire city was gradually returning to normal.

A beautiful figure was busy in the distance. Many people were circling her, looking very orderly.

After sensing the commotion caused by Song Shi, the beautiful figure turned around. She was dressed in a light yellow palace dress, making her look gentle and elegant. Her figure was graceful, and her waterfall-like hair fluttered in the wind with a crystalline luster.

On her pretty face, a pair of big and bright eyes were like stars. When she saw Song Shi, they became even brighter. Surprise surged out of them, and a smile appeared on her sharp eyes.

“Father, husband, you’re finally out.”

Wu Xi flew over slowly.

“Silly girl, didn’t I tell you not to concern yourself about these trivial matters? You’re about to get married.”

Emperor Qian rebuked.

“I saw that the Imperial City was in a mess and wanted to help.”

Wu Xi pouted and looked more cute like a spoiled child. She looked at Song Shi and walked over boldly to hold his arm. She smiled and said, “Don’t you think so, husband?”

“I respect your choice, but hurry back with me for the wedding. I’ve already informed quite a few people about it. We can’t miss out on collecting their gifts.”
