AWB Chapter 162 Absorbing Demonic Energy
Chapter 162 Absorbing Demonic Energy
The Grand Elder searched back and forth twice but found nothing different in Yun Zhao's sea of consciousness. He did, however, discover several divine souls.
“Those are my contracted spirit beasts, and my subordinates in the cultivation world.”
The Grand Elder nodded, "Then there's no problem, Your Excellency, you..."
He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.
He Song and Shi Beiqing also pondered deeply. After thinking for a long time, He Song suggested, "Your Excellency, you used spiritual energy for your cultivation before, but you are a demon. Is that related?"
"Why don't you try absorbing demonic energy to cultivate?"
“That’s a good idea,” Yun Zhao said, gesturing for them to look at him. “Look at me, can you tell if I’m a demon or a human?”
The Grand Elder then realized that, in principle, Yun Zhao should now belong to the human race, but he couldn't tell that Yun Zhao was human.
He looked on with curiosity and said, "Perhaps Hesong's method is actually feasible. However, just to be on the safe side, Your Majesty, you should try absorbing a little first. If it doesn't work, I can extract the demonic energy."
Before the experiment, Yun Zhao wanted to resolve the matter of the murdered family. She told Shi Beiqing the real reason why the murdered family was falsely accused, and stated that she would immediately reveal the truth to the world after regaining her memory.
Seeing that Shi Beiqing remained silent, the Grand Elder worried that she might harbor resentment towards Yun Zhao, so he said, "This was all my idea. If you want to resent or hate, then hate me."
"I am not trying to shirk responsibility. At the time, things were really difficult, and I had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure, which caused my family to suffer an unjust accusation. I feel ashamed!"
Shi Beiqing was stunned for a long time, then murmured, "No wonder, no wonder..."
Yun Zhao asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
Shi Beiqing gave a bitter smile. "Your Excellency, it's nothing. I was just thinking that even though our family was driven out of the imperial city, our cultivation resources were never lacking when demonic energy was scarce in the Demon Realm."
She looked at the Grand Elder: "Grand Elder, is this your compensation for the murder of the family?"
The Grand Elder nodded slowly, “Although there is compensation, your family has been wronged for many years and has suffered a lot of undeserved infamy.”
Shi Beiqing smiled in relief, "How can you say that? It should be the Shi family that has benefited. After all, with the dissipation of demonic energy over the years and those cultivation resources, the Shi family can still stand firm."
"..."
"By the way, what exactly is that sacred object? In your plan, the Shi family was actually driven out of the capital because of it."
The elder smiled awkwardly, "Actually, there is no sacred object. It's something I made up. What it is doesn't matter. Just say it's an important item."
Yun Zhao: "..."
Harmony: "..."
Shi Beiqing: "..."
The Grand Elder took Yun Zhao to his cultivation room and ordered He Song and Shi Beiqing to guard outside, forbidding anyone from entering.
He had Yun Zhao sit cross-legged on a futon, and took out... a low-grade magic stone, letting Yun Zhao absorb the demonic energy within it.
Yun Zhao: "..."
She was speechless: "Can't you be a little more generous?"
As the Demon Emperor (amnesiac version), she must have the ability to control the demonic energy within two low-grade magic stones!
Yun Zhao said generously, "Be more generous, add... half a piece!"
Great Elder: "..."
I thought you were so amazing.
Getting back to the main story, Yun Zhao calmed her mind and began to absorb the demonic energy from the magic stone. The Grand Elder looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy, fearing that something might happen to her.
The demonic energy slowly entered Yun Zhao's body. The Grand Elder didn't dare to blink, staring intently at her.
The Grand Elder did not notice any signs of Yun Zhao going astray until one and a half pieces of the magic stone completely lost their demonic energy. He only breathed a sigh of relief when she began to absorb the demonic energy in the air.
However, it seems he gave up too early.
A large amount of demonic energy gathered from all around and poured into Yun Zhao's body. She was like a boundless ocean, and the demonic energy disappeared immediately after entering her body.
To avoid running out of demonic energy and affecting Yun Zhao's cultivation, the Grand Elder took out all the demonic stones from his storage bag.
The magic stones were quickly absorbed. The Grand Elder discovered that because the secluded cultivation room was isolated from the outside world, the demonic energy outside could not enter, and the demonic energy on his body began to be absorbed by Yun Zhao!
Upon learning this, the Grand Elder was quite distraught.
This...this is a trend of draining the entire demon realm of its demonic energy!
He dared not open the door to the secluded cultivation room, fearing that the entire demon race would be drained of their energy. In order to provide Yun Zhao with demonic energy and to save his own life, he began throwing out demonic artifacts and pills...
Anything containing demonic energy is thrown out, regardless of its nature.
After throwing away half of it, Yun Zhao finally stopped. However, according to the Grand Elder's observation, it didn't seem like she stopped because she had absorbed enough, but rather because she forced herself to stop.
The Grand Elder grew anxious, "Your Excellency, please continue your cultivation, do not stop!"
Yun Zhao struggled to control his body, saying with difficulty, "No! If you continue cultivating, I'll drain you dry... I'll turn you into a dried-up demon!"
The Grand Elder was so anxious he was almost in tears. "My esteemed one, please stop joking! Is this the time for jokes?"
"Your cultivation is more important; your subordinate is unimportant..."
Yun Zhao casually took out a spiritual fruit and threw it into his mouth to shut him up. "What are you saying? You're almost at the Void Refinement stage, and I'm still cultivating? You'll be dead in no time!"
She stopped cultivating and was about to get up when a surge of demonic energy suddenly filled the entire cultivation room, startling the Grand Elder.
Yun Zhao hurriedly said, "Hurry up and cultivate! Don't worry, it's not my demonic energy."
With Yun Zhao's words, the Grand Elder felt relieved. He quickly pulled He Song and Shi Beiqing in, tossed them the word "cultivation," and immediately entered a state of cultivation.
Although there was a lot of demonic energy, the three of them absorbed it quickly, and slowly, the demonic energy returned to normal levels.
The Grand Elder opened his eyes and exclaimed in delight, "Your Excellency, not only has my cultivation level returned, it has even increased by one level!"
He Song and Shi Beiqing also saw their prices rise by two or three levels respectively.
Yun Zhao stroked his chin thoughtfully, "My cultivation level has also improved. Does this mean that as long as I cultivate, it will stimulate the generation of demonic energy in the Demon Realm?"
The elder immediately looked intently at Yun Zhao, making Yun Zhao somewhat afraid.
She took a step back. "Elder, what do you want to do?"
The elder's eyes sparkled. "Your Excellency, time is money! Start cultivating now! Cultivate for eleven hours every day and strive to reach the highest realm as soon as possible!"
Eleven hours? That means you only get two hours of sleep each day?!
This is a recipe for making her train to the point of death as long as she doesn't die!
Yun Zhaochou refused: "Let's not talk about that for now. I want to recover my memories first. There's no time like the present, let's do it now."
The Grand Elder hesitated for a moment, "Your Excellency, do you really want to take that pill to restore your memory? Perhaps your memory can slowly recover."
"It's too slow. It's not realistic for me to increase the demonic energy in the demon realm through my cultivation. It would be better to find a way to open the passage."
She cannot stay in the Demon Realm forever to cultivate and produce demonic energy.
