6Senior White returned those ten pieces of mutated black metal to Song Shuhang, and advised him not to store them together, but to keep them separated.
7
8"Shuhang, when is your university starting?" Venerable White asked.
9
10"Jiangnan University will open on the 6th. But on the first day, people go there only to exchange information and see each other, and they simply return home afterward. It's weekend on the 7th and the 8th, and there are no lessons as a consequence. The university will officially start on the 9th," Song Shuhang replied.
11
12"In other words, you have nothing to do during the next few days, right? In that case, let's go to explore the ruins of that Immortal tomorrow morning. Fairy Lychee decided to join us on her own initiative, and Northern River's Loose Cultivator also wants to go. He just advanced to the Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm, and he wants to hear that Immortal discuss about its path to immortality," Venerable White said.
13
14Song Shuhang also wanted to make a trip to those ruins as soon as possible. He wanted to know how Fairy Cheng Lin looked like so that he could determine the relationship between Ye Si and Immortal Cheng Lin.
15
16"Alright. Let's set out tomorrow, then," Song Shuhang said with a nod.
17
18"Good. Let's go find Northern River's Loose Cultivator and ask him to prepare a place where we can spend the night." Venerable White held his chin, and then said some meaningful words. "Shuhang, have good dreams."
19
20"Thank you." Song Shuhang didn't understand the hidden meaning in Venerable White's words.
21
22After heading to the resting place that Northern River's Loose Cultivator had prepared for the various fellow daoists, Venerable White and Song Shuhang discovered that their rooms were next to each other.
23
24Just as Venerable White was about to open the door and go in, he said, "Right, I almost forgot about it. Here is a gift for you."
25
26"A gift for me?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity. Why had Senior White decided to give him a gift?
27
28Venerable White rolled up his sleeve, and revealed an exquisite bracelet on his wrist. He took off the bracelet, and gave it to Song Shuhang.
29
30Song Shuhang took the bracelet, somewhat confused, and wore it.
31
32After wearing the bracelet, he was surprised. "Spatial equipment?"
33
34"Yes, that's a cosmos bracelet called 'Sun and Moon Concealing Beads', and there is a space of a hundred cubic meters within," Venerable White explained. "This magical treasure is the reward for the contribution you made during that trip to the Jade Lake Realm. You can seize this opportunity to store some of those pieces of metal inside your size-reducing purse and some in the Sun and Moon Concealing Beads."
35
36Venerable White had spent several days to forge this space-type magical treasure. When he used the treasure forging furnace a few days ago, it was in order to forge this magical treasure. The main material used to forge it was the fragments he had obtained in the White Cloud Academy when the 'world of the golden lotus' took shape.
37
38"Eh? But didn't I give up on my reward in order to pay off my debt?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.
39
40"I was just joking with you... Shuhang, you don't have any sense of humor, do you?" Venerable White said. "A debt is a debt, and a reward is a reward."
41
42"..." Song Shuhang.
43
44Was it possible that he really had no sense of humor? Venerable White wasn't the only one to think so—that Senior White Two in the Netherworld Realm also thought the same.
45
46"In that case, see you tomorrow. Go to sleep early and have good dreams." Venerable White waved his hand and opened the door, preparing to get into his room.
47
48But just as he was about to get into his room, he got distracted, seemingly due to him thinking about something very interesting. While distracted, Senior White revealed an enchanting smile.
49
50Venerable White had pushed the door of the room open while wearing that enchanting smile. At the same time, his body lost its balance and fell forward toward the ground.
51
52The nearby Song Shuhang opened his eyes wide. That was bad! Senior White had tripped on flat ground once more!
53
54This was Venerable White's unique skill, and he hadn't seen in a long while—long to the point that Song Shuhang had almost forgotten about its existence. He didn't expect that he would get to see it at such a moment.
55
56Song Shuhang put to display his speed of the Third Stage Realm, and subconsciously stretched out his hands, preparing to support Venerable White's body to prevent him from falling. However, the speed at which Venerable White was falling was way higher than Song Shuhang's speed.
57
58Therefore, Song Shuhang could only helplessly watch as Venerable White was slipping away from his hands...
59
60It was over... this place that Northern River's Loose Cultivator had prepared for them to stay at was done for! That wasn't all—even all the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group that were staying over tonight were done for!
61
62As for Song Shuhang, who was the person closest to the impact point, he was super done for.
63
64Just as Song Shuhang was despairing, a tree branch quickly extended from Senior White's waist area, swiftly propping itself against the ground.
65
66It was the monster willow, Qing Wu. At the critical moment, she came out and propped the falling Venerable White up.
67
68At this moment, Venerable White was suspended in midair at a 45-degree angle while supported by some tree branches.
69
70Song Shuhang was so scared that his whole body was covered with sweat.
71
72Luckily, the monster willow Qing Wu had saved the situation. Otherwise, all the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group in this place would have been done for.
73
74After a while, Venerable White finally returned to his senses.
75
76"Eh? How come I'm suspended in the air like this?" Venerable White asked. But after asking this question, he had immediately understood what was going on. "Oh, did I get distracted and stumble?"
77
78"Senior White, this is exactly what happened." Song Shuhang wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Senior White, you should be more careful while walking around."
79
80"Don't worry. Even if I get distracted while walking, I'll be fine," Venerable White said with a smile.
81
82"..." Song Shuhang.
83
84When I told you to be careful, I meant 'be careful not to kill us innocent bystanders'!
85
86"Alright, I understand. I'll be more careful the next time," Venerable White replied in all seriousness. Venerable White had spoken without giving it too much thought.
87
88Once Venerable White got up, the monster willow Qing Wu cautiously retracted her tree branches.
89
90Senior White waved his hand at Song Shuhang, and said, "See you later, good night."
91
92"Good night," Song Shuhang said.
93
94"Have good dreams," Venerable White added.
95
96Song Shuhang nodded.
97
98❄️❄️❄️
99
100During the night, Song Shuhang lay on the bed and kept tossing about, unable to fall asleep. He was very tired today, but for some reason, he was still unable to fall asleep.
101
102"I feel as if something is about to happen," Song Shuhang muttered to himself.
103
104"Don't worry. With me guarding here, I can immediately wake you up even if something happens." Ye Si's voice echoed.
105
106Song Shuhang nodded.
107
108Perhaps because Ye Si comforted him, Song Shuhang quickly fell asleep.
109
110After Song Shuhang fell asleep, Ye Si drilled out of his body, and sat beside him.
111
112Then, she opened his size-reducing purse, and took out several books. There were books about history, science, nature, archaeology, mathematics, poetry, and so on.
113
114These books were the spoils of war she had gotten after strolling through the streets with Fairy Dongfang Six, and she had left them inside Song Shuhang's size-reducing purse for the time being.
115
116Anyway, after Song Shuhang fell asleep, Ye Si made a hand seal, and activated a magical technique, projecting two rays of golden light from her eyes to the books.
117
118In the next moment, she started reading those thick books with great interest. This magical technique that allowed her to project rays of golden light from her eyes was something she had created herself. When she was in the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, she would often hide inside a sleeping bag and secretly read books.
119
120While reading, Ye Si also started to get sleepy. Thereupon, she lay next to Song Shuhang while holding the book she was reading and fell asleep.
121
122❄️❄️❄️
123
124Song Shuhang had a dream. Perhaps because Venerable White told him to have good dreams three times, Song Shuhang had a beautiful dream tonight.
125
126There was a great sea that extended as far as the eye could see, and Song Shuhang was stepping on Meteor Sword and flying in the air.
127
128As expected, one would dream at night about what they were thinking during the day!
129
130Earlier, he was indeed hoping to quickly advance to the Fourth Stage Innate Realm so that he could ride a flying sword— alright, although what he was supposed to ride was a flying saber, to the point that he might even have to practice that ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯, nothing could prevent him from riding a flying sword in his fantasies!
131
132Anyway, he looked really cool while riding a flying sword and soaring into the sky. He was riding the wind and cleaving through the waves on the surface of the sea. Sometimes, he would shoot up into the clouds; at other times, he would descend on the surface of the sea, just as though he was surfing the waves with his flying sword. From time to time, he would fly close to the surface of the sea and break through the waves.
133
134"Ahahaha." Song Shuhang laughed happily. "Wielding a sword is like raising a glass of wine and hearing the autumn rain... hmm, what was the second part of the sentence?"
135
136Whatever. If he forgot it, so be it.
137
138Regardless of that, riding a flying sword was really cool!
139
140It was such a wonderful dream, and he was really reluctant to wake up.
141
142Still... why was he riding on Meteor Sword while dreaming of riding a flying sword? This was Venerable White's life-bound flying sword!
143
144Hmm, right... it was a dream! Everything could happen in a dream, and there was no need for explanations.
145
146Just in this fashion, Song Shuhang stepped on Meteor Sword and kept flying and flying, looking very happy. Meteor Sword also followed his wishes, and went up, down, left, and right as he ordered. If he wanted it to fly, it would fly. If he wanted to go upward, it would go upward. If he wanted to go downward, it would go downward.
147
148In the end, Song Shuhang rode the flying sword, and arrived in the airspace of a beautiful little island.
149
150The small island was very beautiful, even more than those paradisiac lands. The surroundings of the small island were covered in dense fog.
151
152Song Shuhang got curious, and thus controlled the flying sword, descending on the small island.
153
154After descending, he discovered that the small island already had an owner. There were several ancient-looking pavilions and towers, as well as modern buildings.
155
156After he got off Meteor Sword, the sword automatically attached to Song Shuhang's back.
157
158"Hello, is anyone here?" Song Shuhang asked.
159
160Song Shuhang's voice had hardly faded that a puff of light smoke appeared not too far from his position.
161
162Then, Venerable Spirit Butterfly's silhouette appeared before Song Shuhang's eyes.
163
164"Hello, little friend Shuhang," Venerable Spirit Butterfly said with a smile.
165
166"Hello, Senior Spirit Butterfly," Song Shuhang replied. "What is this place? Is this your Spirit Butterfly Island?"
167
168Venerable Spirit Butterfly shook his head, and said, "This is a volcanic island, and not my Spirit Butterfly Island. Little friend Shuhang, this way."
169
170Thereupon, Song Shuhang followed Venerable Spirit Butterfly in a daze. Where was Venerable Spirit Butterfly bringing him? To see Soft Feather?
171
172Speaking of which, Soft Feather was recently preparing to transcend her tribulation. Had she succeeded?
173
174While walking, Song Shuhang suddenly felt his body becoming light; his whole person had been shrouded in a light fog.
175
176Then, he flew upward as if he was riding the mist, flying higher and higher.
177
178It was unknown for how long he flew, but as the dense fog before his eyes dispersed, he found himself in a changing room.
179
180Venerable Spirit Butterfly's figure had disappeared.
181
182However, there was another familiar figure before his eyes—that famous director, Mister Jacob.
183
184"Eh? Hello, Mister Jacob," Song Shuhang said.
185
186Jacob slightly nodded, and then clapped his hands. Several make-up artists rushed in. At the same time, Song Shuhang noticed that the make-up artists were carrying female clothing in their hands...
187
188Chapter 910: ‘Cut’? Why ‘cut’? I refuse to accept it!
189
190Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
191
192
193
194Song Shuhang had a bad premonition.
195
196But right at this time, Director Jacob nodded, very satisfied. Thereupon, with a smile, he said, "Try out those clothes on Mister Song and choose the most suitable one. It's better to choose one that doesn't cause trouble while running."
197
198Just in this fashion, the various make-up artists grabbed Song Shuhang, and brought him to another dressing room.
199
200"You want me to try out these clothes?" The corner of Song Shuhang's mouth twitched. Then, he started to struggle with all his might. "Stop joking. I don't want to wear these clothes!"
201
202However... possibly because it was a dream, his strength of the Third Stage Realm was unable to prevent those make-up artists from dragging him away.
203
204Something like this would often happen in dreams. Each time a person was having a nightmare and someone was chasing after them to kill them, they would feel as though they were lacking all their strength. As such, the enemy would quickly catch up to them and chop them to pieces...
205
206As a result, Song Shuhang was forcefully dragged into that other dressing room, where the make-up artists started to do their job.
207
208They applied some basic make-up, attached new eyelashes, and then blackened his eyebrows.
209
210After seeing his continuously changing face in the mirror, a feeling that words couldn't describe welled up in Song Shuhang's heart. For some reason, he thought of Senior Copper Trigram. What he was wondering was... how did Senior Copper Trigram feel each time he saw his face change into that of another person while using his disguising technique?
211
212No, wait a moment. Why was he even thinking about Senior Copper Trigram...?
213
214On the other hand, why was he dreaming of such an eye-blinding matter while sleeping?
215
216As the saying went: one would dream at night about what they thought during the day. However, he hadn't really thought about anything female-clothing-related earlier...
217
218Was it possible that it was a memory from long before?
219
220Song Shuhang calmed down, and recalled the things he had experienced in this dream. He'd first met Venerable Spirit Butterfly, then Director Jacob and the make-up artists.
221
222After linking together the various clues, Song Shuhang suddenly remembered another matter... Not too long ago, Venerable Spirit Butterfly had mentioned that he wanted to shoot a new movie, and he had proposed Shuhang play the part of a tailor-made male character that liked to wear female clothing.
223
224Yes, that was it! The reason he was having this eye-blinding dream was surely that memory.
225
226It was all Senior Spirit Butterfly's fault!
227
228I can't allow this to continue any further... Even if it's just a dream, I don't want to get tormented like this! After thinking up to this point, Song Shuhang started to struggle again in his dream.
229
230However, he felt as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out, and he had no choice but to softly lay on the chair.
231
232The make-up artists wore smiles on their faces as they started to fiddle with his face.
233
234What a scary nightmare.
235
236Still, he had to find a way to wake up!
237
238Ye Si, Ye Si, wake me up! Song Shuhang shouted inwardly.
239
240He had signed the ghost spirit contract with Ye Si, and even if he was dreaming, he needed but a thought to get in touch with Ye Si.
241
242However, Ye Si didn't reply.
243
244The connection between the two had unexpectedly lost its effectiveness!
245
246How was this possible? Song Shuhang couldn't help but furrow his brows.
247
248"Whatever... since I can't get in contact with Ye Si, I can only rely on myself!" After thinking up to this point, Song Shuhang increased his breathing frequency.
249
250Each time he was having a nightmare, Song Shuhang would wake up as long as he started to breathe quickly.
251
252He was very sure of the effects of this method.
253
254As such, Song Shuhang started breathing faster and faster.
255
256After breathing like this for around twenty times...
257
258At last...
259
260Song Shuhang's eyes lit up. He wasn't inside that dressing room anymore!
261
262He had woken up!
263
264That was simply great.
265
266Song Shuhang opened his eyes, and looked all around.
267
268Actually, no... the dream wasn't over just yet!
269
270Although he had left the dressing room, he was now on the top of a volcano, not too far from the crater. Below him was boiling hot magma, but even if he was this close to the crater, he didn't feel hot. On the contrary, he even got an icy cold feeling!
271
272Just as before, he was still dreaming!
273
274"What's the matter with this damned dream?!" Song Shuhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
275
276❄️❄️❄️
277
278What was going to happen in this strange dream now that he had been shifted to the crater of this volcano?
279
280Just as Song Shuhang was in deep thought, his body moved on its own, starting to run toward the edge of the crater.
281
282"...I've got a bad feeling." Song Shuhang felt somewhat uncomfortable while running, and he subconsciously lowered his head, looking at his lower body.
283
284When he lowered his head, he discovered that his clothes were already different from before.
285
286At this time, he was wearing a full-body western suit.
287
288If he was wearing a western suit, so be it. It was something he could accept.
289
290The problem was that no matter how he looked at the western suit, it didn't look like something designed for a man. The contour of the pants, in particular, resembled that of a woman.
291
292Song Shuhang felt somewhat depressed.
293
294Had this female clothing thing not come to an end yet?
295
296Since the scene in the dream had changed, was it really necessary to keep the 'female clothing' fetish around?
297
298Just as Song Shuhang was ridiculing the situation, a system notification window appeared in the top left corner of his field of vision.
299
300It used black characters with golden outline, very eye-catching.
301
302[Lines: Little Reckless, Little Reckless~ where are you?! Quickly reply!" PS: Please appear 'worried' while reciting these lines.]
303
304"..." Song Shuhang.
305
306What the hell was that?
307
308Had the story unfolding in the dream turned into a video game?
309
310Moreover, didn't this Little Reckless name sound really toxic?
311
312After hearing this name, he was reminded of Senior Thrice Reckless from the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
313
314Song Shuhang decided to ignore the system notification.
315
316But right at this time, the text in the window changed.
317
318[The countdown is about to start. You have 20 seconds to say the lines "Little Reckless~ where are you?! Quickly reply!" with a worried expression. If you don't, you might have to face punishment.]
319
320Along with the text on the system notification window changing, the picture of a stopwatch appeared in the top right corner of his field of vision, quickly starting to count down.
321
32220, 19, 18... 15, 14... 11...
323
324The numbers started to decrease very quickly.
325
326Punishment? Bring it on! This is only a dream, and if you want to punish me, just go ahead! The crueler the punishment, the better!
327
328Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Song Shuhang's body started to dash toward that crater full of boiling magma.
329
330The speed he was running at was extremely fast, and the brake feature seemed to be missing.
331
332According to Song Shuhang's calculation, he would jump into that lake of magma in 10 more seconds if he didn't stop. At the same time, that cool and refreshing feeling disappeared, replaced by a blazing heat! If it was this hot just by approaching the crater, he could only imagine how wonderful things would get after diving into that lake of magma.
333
334Just what kind of dream was this?! It suddenly turned into a video game, and he was now forced to complete quests!
335
336The stopwatch on the right had already counted down to 9 seconds, and Song Shuhang was mentally preparing himself to jump into that lake of magma.
337
338But just as he was about to fall in the lake of magma, he changed his mind.
339
340Song Shuhang had a sudden inspiration, and decided to say those lines to see what would happen.
341
342It wasn't that he was afraid of the punishment... after all, it was just a dream, and even if he fell into that lake of magma, it wouldn't be a big deal. It was just a dream, and even dying a thousand times wouldn't be much of a problem.
343
344The reason Song Shuhang changed his mind was that he wanted to see how the dream would change after he had said those lines.
345
346He felt that this dream was rather eccentric.
347
348Therefore, there was a chance he might obtain some clues after saying those lines.
349
350❄️❄️❄️
351
352Thereupon, Song Shuhang said the lines, "Little Reckless, Little Reckless, where are you?! Quickly reply!"
353
354After he finished saying the lines, his eyes suddenly shone. Next, he saw that there was a silhouette struggling in the magma below.
355
356After hearing Song Shuhang's voice, the figure raised its head, and looked upward.
357
358That face was very familiar...
359
360That was none other than Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.
361
362Little Reckless had suddenly turned into Senior Thrice Reckless. Just what was wrong with this dream?!
363
364"My friend, save me! Quickly pull me up!" Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber shouted.
365
366Song Shuhang said subconsciously, "Why don't you come up on your own?"
367
368"I'm unable to come up on my own! I need your help. Please, help me!" Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said anxiously.
369
370"..." Song Shuhang.
371
372You are an expert of the Fifth Stage Realm... Can't you just instantly fly out of that magma? What do you need my help for?
373
374Just as he was in deep thought, another system notification window appeared in front of his eyes.
375
376[Please look for a hidden mechanism next to the crater of the volcano. The secret to escaping this place and saving 'Little Reckless' is concealed in there. Note: After 60 seconds, the volcano will start erupting. Please make haste so as to avoid getting involved in the eruption.]
377
378Another stopwatch appeared in the top right corner of Song Shuhang's field of vision.
379
380"..." Song Shuhang.
381
382Should he continue playing this game?
383
384The already strange dream was getting even weirder and weirder.
385
386After pondering for a moment, Song Shuhang made up his mind, and decided to continue. After all, it was like playing an adventure-type video game.
387
388He turned around, and started searching the area close to the crater.
389
390However, the crater was huge... How was he supposed to find that mechanism?!
391
392In addition, how did that mechanism look? Couldn't they give him some additional information?
393
394Time quickly passed by, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of those 60 seconds were already gone. But, Song Shuhang had yet to find the mechanism.
395
39660 seconds were too little to complete the task...
397
398After seeing that Song Shuhang was unable to find the hidden mechanism, Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, who still amidst the boiling magma below, started to get anxious.
399
400Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber shouted, "My friend, look at your 6 o'clock. There is a flight of stairs there, and after you go up to the third step, open a small box and throw at me the equipment inside. I can get away from here thanks to that equipment! There isn't much time left, quick!"
401
402So there was the option to get a hint. You could have said that earlier! Song Shuhang thought to himself.
403
404Thereupon, Shuhang headed to his 6 o'clock.
405
406But after he had taken two steps... he faintly heard the sound 'cut' beside his ear.
407
408In the next moment, dense fog appeared before his eyes, completely wrapping Shuhang.
409
410Then, he could also faintly hear Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber's angry howl in the background. "Why 'cut'? Tell me the reason behind that 'cut'! I just gave him a piece of advice, and I didn't break the rules in any way! Ouch! Mom, I'm getting burned alive! I'm dying!"
411
412The dense fog wrapping Song Shuhang made him feel once again as if he was riding the mist.
413
414❄️❄️❄️
415
416After the dense fog dispersed, Song Shuhang discovered that he had returned to that airspace above the surface of the sea. The clothes he was wearing had also reverted to the ones he was wearing previously. Just like before, he was stepping on Meteor Sword and quickly flying forward.
417
418The damned dream still wasn't over!
419

423
424
425
426The next day, the sun rose again.
427
428Early in the morning, due to Song Shuhang's room facing east, the sunlight passed through the window of the room, and shone on his face. Song Shuhang wanted to sleep a little more, but the sunlight was truly dazzling, and forced him to wake up. When he went to sleep yesterday, he forgot to pull the blinds down!
429
430After waking up, Song Shuhang used his hand to block the sunlight, and muttered to himself, "I'm so tired..."
431
432Now then, what was the deal with that strange dream he had yesterday? He got tossed about so much that he was exhausted both physically and emotionally.
433
434Right, what about Senior Sister Ye Si? While he was dreaming yesterday, he called Ye Si several times, hoping to borrow her strength to wake up from the nightmare. However, Ye Si didn't answer his calls.
435
436Song Shuhang got up... and discovered that Ye Si was lying right beside him, sleeping very soundly.
437
438Next to Ye Si were several thick books. It was unknown when she had fallen asleep.
439
440"..." Song Shuhang.
441
442Probably due to Song Shuhang moving around, Ye Si also opened her eyes. Still in a daze, she said, "Oh, it's already morning. Shuhang, good morning."
443
444"Good morning," Song Shuhang replied.
445
446"Knock, knock, knock~" The sound of someone knocking on the door echoed.
447
448Afterward, Venerable White's voice echoed. "Shuhang, did you get up already?"
449
450"I just woke up. I'll immediately open the door," Song Shuhang replied.
451
452"If you are awake, you can head to the second floor to have breakfast. We are waiting for you there," Venerable White said.
453
454"Alright, I'm coming," Song Shuhang said.
455
456❄️❄️❄️
457
458There was a vegetarian dish for breakfast—100% vegetables and 0% meat. The reason was that Great Master Profound Principle was the one that had prepared breakfast this time around.
459
460Great Master Profound Principle's main occupation was that of a senior monk, but he was also a part-time immortal chef.
461
462Although the dish was vegetarian, it tasted pretty good.
463
464Venerable White was holding some white bread in his hand and nibbling at it when he suddenly asked, "Shuhang, did you sleep well yesterday?"
465
466Song Shuhang drank a mouthful of soybean milk. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Yeah, sort of."
467
468"That's good," Venerable White said with a nod. "After having breakfast, we'll proceed toward Immortal Cheng Lin's immortal cave. Since we aren't in a hurry, we don't need to rush there."
469
470Song Shuhang nodded, and said, "Good, there is still some time left before my university starts. Right, Senior White... can we head to that forbidden area after visiting Immortal Cheng Lin's immortal cave?"
471
472The forbidden area Song Shuhang was talking about was the one Daoist Priest Li Tiansu had discovered. There was a chance that the method to cure Li Yinzhu might be there.
473
474Song Shuhang had wanted to explore that forbidden area since a while ago. After all, the sooner he could treat Li Yinzhu's cold disease, the better. However, exploring that area with his strength was the same as seeking death, and he needed Venerable White to go with him.
475
476"No problem. I'll make sure to find the time. It is about time to settle the karma with Daoist Priest Li Tiansu," Venerable White said with a nod. Several months ago, Daoist Priest Li Tiansu's corpse flew over to their place from a very distant place, leaving behind his equipment. Venerable White had taken his flying sword and ancient bronze ring, forming a knot of karma with him.
477
478At this time, Northern River's Loose Cultivator said, "Senior White, I've already borrowed Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman's private cruise ship... but do we really want to travel to that place by ship?"
479
480If they traveled by ship, it would take them a long time. Wasn't it better to just ride a flying sword?
481
482"Fellow Daoist Northern River is worried about the speed aspect, right? Don't worry, I've already prepared a set of formations. After boarding the ship, we'll stick onto it these sheets of paper with the formations on them. Its speed won't be inferior to that of a flying sword," Venerable White said after taking out a pile of A4-sized sheets of paper.
483
484After hearing these words, Northern River's Loose Cultivator nodded, and said, "That's great."
485
486❄️❄️❄️
487
488After breakfast was over, Venerable White set out with Song Shuhang, Northern River's Loose Cultivator, Fairy Lychee, Young Master Phoenix Slayer, as well as Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist.
489
490While heading toward the cruise ship, Song Shuhang kept yawning, looking in low spirits.
491
492Fairy Lychee, who was beside Shuhang, also looked tired. From the looks of it, she hadn't rested very well.
493
494❄️❄️❄️
495
496After reaching the cruise ship...
497
498Song Shuhang, Young Master Phoenix Slayer, and Northern River's Loose Cultivator joined forces, and stuck the A4 paper sheets that had the formations engraved on them all over the cruise ship.
499
500Then, as soon as the cruise ship left the shore and was far from the eyes of ordinary people, the formations activated, and the ship sprinted forward at terrifying speed.
501
502The sea breeze blew in their faces. Ah, this was the flavor of the sea~
503
504Song Shuhang leaned against the guardrail and kept yawning. When the sea breeze blew in his face, he got even sleepier.
505
506"Shuhang, are you very tired?" Venerable White asked.
507
508"I had a strange dream yesterday, which exhausted me both physically and emotionally. I'm feeling tired and spiritless at the moment, and I'm getting sleepier and sleepier." Song Shuhang sighed.
509
510"In that case, why don't you sleep for a while? I'll wake you up when we reach Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins. There is still some time left before we reach the destination, enough for you to take a nap," Venerable White suggested.
511
512Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, and nodded his head. It just happened that there were some rooms where he could rest on the cruise ship.
513
514"In that case... Senior White, Senior Northern River, Senior Phoenix Slayer, I'll go to sleep," Song Shuhang said as he yawned.
515
516"Go, go. Rest well," Venerable White said.
517
518At this time, Fairy Lychee also said, "Such being the case, I'll go to rest as well. For some reason, I felt very restless during the past few days, and it's been a while since I've rested well."
519
520Fairy Lychee was already a Sixth Stage True Monarch, and she wouldn't feel tired even if she didn't rest for a year. However, she was always restless as of late, which caused her to be in low spirits.
521
522❄️❄️❄️
523
524Song Shuhang looked for a room, and lay on the bed, starting to resting.
525
526"Strange, why do I feel as though there is something wrong with this situation..." Song Shuhang muttered to himself.
527
528At this time, Ye Si drilled out of his body, and asked, "Did you have a nightmare yesterday?"
529
530"To be more precise, it was a very exhausting dream," Song Shuhang said. "Ye Si, wake me up if you feel that I'm having a nightmare."
531
532"Sure, leave it to me. I'll stand guard beside you for the whole time," Ye Si guaranteed.
533
534With Ye Si's guarantee, Song Shuhang fell asleep free from worries.
535
536❄️❄️❄️
537
538Since he was very tired, Song Shuhang quickly fell asleep.
539
540Afterward, he had another dream.
541
542Just like the last time, there was a boundless sea and a blue sky. Other than that, he was riding a flying sword this time as well.
543
544However, this time he wasn't riding Meteor Sword, but a sword orb.
545
546"Shiet!" Song Shuhang looked at the small sword orb beneath his foot. That gadget only had the size of a fingernail, and Song Shuhang was stepping on it and flying in the sky.
547
548There was something very wrong with this picture!
549
550Of course, a sword orb could also be used to fly.
551
552But under normal circumstances, whenever a cultivator rode a sword orb, the sword orb would be unrolled first and turn into sword threads, and a layer of light would then appear above these threads. That way, the cultivator could elegantly step on the layer of light and fly forward. To put it in simple terms, it was the same as stepping on a sword light and flying.
553
554But the sword orb Song Shuhang was stepping on didn't unroll or turn into a sword light. It kept the appearance of a small orb.
555
556Anyway, he stepped on the sword orb with one foot, and whizzed forward at high speed.
557
558Song Shuhang's acrophobia almost flared up again.
559
560"Don't be like this! At least change into a layer of light! If I don't have a stable footing, I won't feel at ease!" Song Shuhang said.
561
562His voice had hardly faded that the sword orb beneath his foot transformed.
563
564Actually, the sword orb didn't transform into a layer of light or anything. On the other hand, it multiplicated, and other eleven sword orbs appeared, for a total of twelve sword orbs.
565
566Then, with six sword orbs beneath his left foot and other six beneath the right one, Song Shuhang finally stabilized himself in midair.
567
568Song Shuhang was dumbfounded.
569
570If one watched him from afar, they would notice that he was stepping above six orbs with each foot and flying in the sky at terrifying speed. This scene was simply too memorable.
571
572Still, Song Shuhang was now sure of something... these twelve sword orbs were actually Northern River's Loose Cultivator's life-bound magical treasure, the [Twelve Swords of the Milky Way]!
573
574The Twelve Swords of the Milky Way were very cool. When Northern River's Loose Cultivator and Immortal Master Copper Trigram were fighting on the summit of the forbidden city, the sword formation that the twelve sword lights had created was super cool.
575
576Still, the flight pattern of these Twelve Swords of the Milky Way was truly uncanny!
577
578When riding these sword orbs, one would directly step on the small orb? At that point, was one riding a flying sword or a sword orb?
579
580At this point, I might as well use the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯!
581
582Even grabbing a saber and getting dragged along was better than stepping on these small orbs!
583
584Anyway… Song Shuhang was unwilling to give up, and issued several orders to the sword orbs below his feet, trying to turn them into sword light. However, he didn't succeed.
585
586Aside from being unable to turn them into a layer of light, he discovered that riding a sword orb was the same as riding a flying sword. If Song Shuhang wanted to fly in a certain way, the sword orbs would fly in that way.
587
588One could fly straight, at a slanted angle, or even a curved angle. It was also possible to fly upside down, and it was pretty easy on top of that. The sword orbs would closely attach to his feet, allowing him to fly at high speed while he was hanging upside down.
589
590Aside from their style being a little trash, the sword orbs were pretty good.
591
592After flying for a while, Song Shuhang once more reached that small island.
593
594It was the same island covered with fog he saw yesterday.
595
596After he had descended, the sword orbs automatically attached to Song Shuhang's back... Actually, what the hell was this? If a flying sword was attached to one's back, it would look cool. But what was the deal with twelve sword orbs getting attached to one's back?!
597
598There was something very wrong with the style of today's dream.
599
600In addition, there is definitely something wrong with this dream... Song Shuhang had already concluded that much. It wasn't a coincidence that he had dreamt of the same place two times in a row. It was almost certain that some senior was messing with his dreams in secret.
601
602The biggest suspect was Senior White... and right next to him was Northern River's Loose Cultivator.
603
604Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Venerable Spirit Butterfly's figure appeared before his eyes one more time.
605
606"Little friend Shuhang, good morning," Venerable Spirit Butterfly said calmly. "Please, follow me."
607
608"Senior Spirit Butterfly, wait a moment. I don't want to take a walk alongside you today. I want to stroll on the island alone," Song Shuhang said in a hurry.
609
610The third suspect was obviously Venerable Spirit Butterfly!
611
612Venerable Spirit Butterfly faintly smiled, and said, "Sure, you can stroll as you please."
613
614After saying these words, Venerable Spirit Butterfly turned into fog and disappeared. At the same time, Song Shuhang's body was likewise wrapped in fog. Wasn't this development the same as yesterday?
615
616"..." Song Shuhang.
617
618❄️❄️❄️
619
620At this time, in the far away Jiangnan area.
621
622Gao Moumou was sitting in front of his computer with a cloth to bring down the fever attached to his forehead.
623
624"I've got a flu... Whatever, it just so happens that university is also about to start. I won't release a chapter today, and will simply take a break," Gao Moumou said.
625
626His voice had hardly faded that the radiance of a healing technique suddenly shone on his body. In the next moment, Gao Moumou's flu was immediately cured, just as if a miracle had taken place.
627
628Gao Moumou, who was in the middle of writing that he was going to take a break, was clearly dumbfounded.
629
630Chapter 912: The virtuous lamia meeting Fairy Lychee in secret
631
632Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
633
634
635
636At this time, on the bookshelf in Gao Moumou's room, a palm-sized Yu Jiaojiao was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, calmly sipping it.
637
638"How lucky that I had the sudden idea to visit Gao Moumou's place today. Otherwise, this guy would have taken a break due to the flu," Yu Jiaojiao muttered to herself.
639
640Now that Yu Jiaojiao was here, how could something like flu pose any threat? A healing technique was more than enough to restore Gao Moumou to his original condition.
641
642"Now that he doesn't have the flu anymore, there will be an update like always," Yu Jiaojiao said in a soft voice.
643
644Gao Moumou's finger stiffened while typing on the keyboard. Then, he made an effort to shake his head, his expression clearly one of disbelief.
645
646Just a moment ago, he had a fever, a headache, a stuffy nose, and a sore throat, and he felt as if he was going to die. But now... he suddenly felt reinvigorated. His head stopped hurting, his nose wasn't stuffed anymore, and his throat healed as well. His whole body was brimming with energy.
647
648Under these circumstances, he was unable to keep writing that message where he was asking for leave.
649
650"F*ck, what's happening? I rarely got ill this year, and just as I was thinking of seizing this opportunity to ask for leave, my flu suddenly got better? Since when has my constitution become so incredible?" Gao Moumou said.
651
652Whatever... since he had gotten better, he might as well take out some time and write a few chapters.
653
654Speaking of which, what was Song Shuhang doing as of late? He sent a message yesterday, saying that he had already completed his registration. Why had he headed to the university so much ahead of time?
655
656Just as he was in deep thought, Gao Moumou opened a word file, and started to quickly type on the keyboard.
657
658When did Gao Moumou look handsome?
659
660Of course, it was when he was writing chapters...
661
662❄️❄️❄️
663
664In the meantime...
665
666After his body was shrouded in that dense fog, Song Shuhang felt as if he was riding the mist again.
667
668Soon after, when the dense fog shrouding his body dispersed, he discovered that he was inside a volcano. It was the same crater he'd seen yesterday, with the boiling magma below.
669
670He could still faintly hear some cries. Was it possible that Senior Thrice Reckless was still struggling amidst the magma below?
671
672At the same time, Song Shuhang thought of another matter. As such, he quickly lowered his head, and looked at his body. Luckily, the clothes he was wearing this time were his previous clothes, and he wasn't forced to wear that female western suit.
673
674However, there were many round dots attached to his body this time, and they looked rather weird. In addition, the twelve sword orbs attached to his back had disappeared.
675
676Just as Song Shuhang prepared to take these round dots off his body, he once again lost control of his limbs, and started to run as he had yesterday.
677
678Since he had already experienced this matter yesterday, Song Shuhang wasn't nervous or worried.
679
680At the same time, he carefully examined his body as he was running forward on his own. Very soon, he noticed that there were thousands of strings pulling him. This was the reason he was running like crazy.
681
682Was this a magical technique?
683
684In addition, was he really 'dreaming' at this moment?
685
686Song Shuhang started to get suspicious.
687
688Just as he was in deep thought, he arrived at the edge of the crater.
689
690Same crater, same location, same setting.
691
692I won't have to say the same sentences as yesterday, right? I refuse to say those lines again today, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
693
694But just as this thought flashed through his mind, the following words echoed. "Little Reckless, Little Reckless, where are you?! Quickly reply!"
695
696Song Shuhang didn't even open his mouth to speak, but the voice was his own, and it was transmitted from his clothes. It was a voice recording getting replayed!
697
698F*ck, even something like this was possible?
699
700In addition, now that even a voice recording popped out, Song Shuhang was 100% sure that this wasn't a normal dream!
701
702After waking up this time, I'll look for Senior White and ask him what's the deal with these dreams! Song Shuhang thought to himself.
703
704But just as this thought flashed through his mind, amidst the boiling magma, Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber shouted loudly, "My friend, save me. Quickly pull me up!"
705
706"..." Song Shuhang.
707
708"I'm unable to come up on my own! I need your help. Please, help me!" Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said anxiously.
709
710"I understand." Song Shuhang sighed, and then said, "I remember that there was a flight of stairs, and I'll find a box after going up to the third step. After I give Senior Thrice Reckless the equipment inside the box, you'll be able to leave this place, right? In that case, I'll go look for that flight of stairs."
711
712After hearing these words, Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber opened his eyes wide. Soon after, he said while trembling, "Little friend Song Shuhang, why are you making me suffer like this?"
713
714"Eh?" Song Shuhang was puzzled.
715
716Then, he faintly heard a 'cut' in the background.
717
718Afterward, Song Shuhang was shrouded in that dense fog again, and before flying away, he seemingly saw the volcano erupting.
719
720"..." Song Shuhang.
721
722This dream was really uh-oh... something.
723
724❄️❄️❄️
725
726After a short moment, the dense fog wrapping around Song Shuhang made him return to the mouth of the volcano.
727
728Then, as if time was rewound, he started to run toward the edge of the crater again.
729
730Song Shuhang already had a theory in his mind.
731
732Very soon, when he arrived at the edge of the crater, that voice was transmitted from his clothes again. "Little Reckless, Little Reckless, where are you?! Quickly reply!"
733
734Next, Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber appeared once more within that lake of magma.
735
736Song Shuhang noticed that Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber's condition was worse than the last time he saw him, and there were several extra parts of his body that were charred black.
737
738After appearing, Senior Thrice Reckless immediately said his lines from before.
739
740After finishing with his lines, he shot a bitter glance at Song Shuhang.
741
742Song Shuhang sighed, and kept silent. He started searching the area around the crater, and quickly found a flight of stairs.
743
744Then, he followed Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber's instructions from yesterday and opened the box, taking out the stage props inside... a small boat of the size of a table.
745
746Song Shuhang made an effort to push the boat into the lake of magma.
747
748Senior Thrice Reckless was delighted. He quickly got into the boat, and started to row with all his strength.
749
750Rowing and rowing... the small boat quickly arrived beside Song Shuhang's body.
751
752While confronted with such a terrible plot, Song Shuhang already didn't know how to ridicule it.
753
754"Go, go, go! The volcano is about to erupt!" Thrice Reckless Mad Saber pulled Song Shuhang, and they quickly fled the volcanic crater.
755
756Around twenty seconds later, the volcano behind them erupted with a loud boom.
757
758Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber had a pale complexion, and was running faster and faster.
759
760"Senior, why don't you ride your saber?" Song Shuhang asked.
761
762"I can't fly! If I could fly, I would have already done so!" Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said with tears streaming down his face.
763
764"..." Song Shuhang.
765
766With great difficulty, Song Shuhang and Thrice Reckless Mad Saber managed to get out of the range of the volcano.
767
768Even if he was currently unable to ride a flying sword, Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber was still a very fast runner. In addition, it seemed that the range of the volcanic eruption was limited, and after one left it, the eruption would lose the capacity to harm them.
769
770Song Shuhang heard another 'cut' in the background.
771
772"We are finally safe." Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber heaved a sigh of relief.
773
774"Senior Thrice Reckless, can I ask you something…? What are we doing at this moment?" Song Shuhang asked.
775
776Thrice Reckless Mad Saber replied, "You are asking me what we are doing? You don't know? We are shooting a movie!"
777
778"..." Song Shuhang probed, "We are shooting a movie?"
779
780"Yes," Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said with tears streaming down his face. "After I carelessly made some malicious remarks about Venerable Spirit Butterfly in the group, I was dragged to this place to shoot the movie. I have been soaking in the crater for two days before you finally came over."
781
782Song Shuhang said, "Before I came over? Does this mean that I'm not dreaming?"
783
784"No, you are indeed dreaming." Thrice Reckless Mad Saber looked at Song Shuhang, and then sighed with emotion. "Little friend Shuhang, you are really lucky."
785
786Song Shuhang was confused.
787
788Thrice Reckless Mad Saber explained, "You were actually able to experience an 'astral trip' before advancing to the Fourth Stage. This is a really valuable experience, and it will greatly help you on the road to the Fourth Stage. As you know, you can ride a flying sword after advancing to the Fourth Stage, and experiencing this astral travel will help you a lot when riding a flying sword."
789
790"Astral travel? In other words, my soul left my body?" Song Shuhang asked. If his soul had left his body, it would explain the weird things happening in this strange dream.
791
792"You can see it like that if you want. Soul and mental energy are related, and the former can be considered highly concentrated mental energy. The stronger one's soul, the better they can control their flying sword, and the more increases the distance from which they can attack their enemies. Speaking of which, what is your current realm, little friend Shuhang?" Thrice Reckless Mad Saber suddenly thought of this matter.
793
794He remembered that little friend Song Shuhang had just advanced to the Second Stage Realm when the Chu Family and the Illusory Sword School decided to fight on that 'Grievance Settling Platform'. Afterward, he apparently had a series of fortuitous encounters and transcended his tribulation, advancing to the Third Stage.
795
796As such, what was little friend Shuhang's current realm?
797
798"I opened the third meridian of the Third Stage, the Blazing Sun Meridian, a few days ago. Now I'm trying to break through the Immaterial King Meridian," Song Shuhang replied.
799
800Thrice Reckless Mad Saber suddenly became silent, and his expression turned grave.
801
802"Senior Thrice Reckless, is something the matter?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.
803
804"I was thinking of Quiet 1(-ing down). Don't ask me who Quiet is, it's precisely that woman," Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said in all seriousness. After saying this much, he waved at Song Shuhang, and said, "There isn't much time left. Little friend Song Shuhang, let us meet next time."
805
806"Eh?" Song Shuhang was still confused.
807
808In the next moment, his body was shrouded in that dense fog again.
809
810After the dense fog disappeared, Song Shuhang found himself above the sea, riding sword orbs. Just like before, there were six sword orbs beneath his right foot, and other six beneath his left one. The style was as terrible as before.
811
812Song Shuhang kept riding the sword orbs, quickly dashing forward.
813
814"Senior White, it's you, right?" Song Shuhang suddenly said.
815
816However, no one replied.
817
818Song Shuhang looked at the sword orbs beneath his feet, and said, "In that case, it must be you, Senior Northern River! It's your doing, right?"
819
820But just as before, no one replied.
821
822Song Shuhang held his chin as he fell into deep thought.
823
824❄️❄️❄️
825
826In the meantime.
827
828Fairy Lychee was resting in her room.
829
830She had felt ill at ease for the past several days, but today, she had suddenly managed to calm down, falling into deep sleep.
831
832She felt really happy when she got to relax after such a long time.
833
834But just as she was sleeping, she felt as though something approached her.
835
836Fairy Lychee suddenly opened her eyes, and discovered that a glittering thing was hovering above her body. It was a mass of golden light of virtue.
837
838Soon after, the golden light materialized and turned into a lamia. The lamia blinked her phoenix eyes, watching Fairy Lychee closely.

851
852"F*ck, what's this thing?!" Fairy Lychee subconsciously stretched out her hand, and prepared to grab the 'virtuous lamia'. She wanted to let her have a taste of her unique skill, the '365 rounds windmill spin'.
853
854But when she stretched out her hand, she wasn't able to grab anything.
855
856The virtuous lamia had two different forms. The first one was the solidified form, where she was a solid entity. It was the form she used when displaying the 'Three Heads and Six Arms Technique' alongside Song Shuhang or when she was blocking curses or evil attacks in his stead.
857
858Her other form was the ordinary 'light of virtue' form. In this form, she was just a mass of intangible light.
859
860When she entered Fairy Lychee's room, the virtuous lamia was in her solid form. But now, she had switched to her 'light of virtue' form.
861
862Therefore, Fairy Lychee's hand simply passed through her body.
863
864The virtuous lamia didn't try to dodge. Or rather, she didn't even know what dodging was. From beginning to end, she was motionless, just like a mountain, with her pretty phoenix eyes firmly locked on Fairy Lychee.
865
866"..." Fairy Lychee took back her hand, and said, "It was actually 'light of virtue'...!"
867
868When the virtuous lamia stared at her like that, Fairy Lychee felt very nervous, and her sleepiness was blown away.
869
870Whose light of virtue was this? And how did it suddenly enter her room? Did the owner forget to take the correct medicine?
871
872Today, she had managed to relax after such a long time, and even slept soundly. But before she could sleep to her heart's content, she was startled awake! How cruel!
873
874The master of this light of virtue had better not let me discover who they are! Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless and spinning them around like a windmill! Fairy Lychee thought to herself, very annoyed.
875
876At the same time, she tried to change location to avoid the gaze of the virtuous lamia.
877
878But whenever she moved, the virtuous lamia would move alongside her, not leaving by so much as an inch. Those two beautiful phoenix eyes were staring at her with rapt attention, making Fairy Lychee feel a lot of pressure.
879
880Fairy Lychee faintly sighed, and rested her chin in her hand, falling into deep thought.
881
882"I remember now. This is little friend Song Shuhang's light of virtue."
883
884Amidst the various fellow daoists on board, only little friend Song Shuhang's light of virtue had already materialized.
885
886Fairy Lychee sprang to her feet, and prepared to head to Song Shuhang's room in order to let him have a taste of her '365 rounds windmill spin'.
887
888But after taking two steps, Fairy Lychee suddenly stopped. She glanced outside the window, and discovered that twelve sword orbs were quickly heading toward the cruise ship from a place not too far. Those sword orbs were Northern River's Loose Cultivator's life-bound magical treasure, the [Twelve Swords of the Milky Way].
889
890The twelve sword orbs would sometimes assume the shape of the character '一' while flying, and the shape of the character '人' at other times. From time to time, they would separate—six on the right side, and the other six on the left side—and fly that way. Their style was ever-changing, and above these sword orbs was an illusory figure.
891
892"Is that... little friend Song Shuhang's soul?" Fairy Lychee blinked her eyes, and then turned her head around, looking at the virtuous lamia beside her.
893
894Little friend Song Shuhang was currently busy with an 'astral trip'... In that case, who was controlling his light of virtue?
895
896After the start of the astral travel, Song Shuhang's consciousness had left his body. Such being the case, why had his light of virtue run to her room?
897
898Fairy Lychee gazed at the virtuous lamia with a confused expression on her face. The virtuous lamia also closely watched her. Her beautiful phoenix eyes shone, and that beauty mark next to the corner of her eyes increased her beauty even further.
899
900Fairy Lychee felt her liver ache.
901
902"Your master has returned. Go, quickly return to his side." Fairy Lychee waved at the virtuous lamia.
903
904However, the light of virtue didn't have any intelligence, and it was basically a 'magical technique'. There were cases where plants, animals, or even rocks could develop intelligence and become spirits, but who had ever heard of a magical technique becoming a spirit?!
905
906As such, the virtuous lamia didn't pay attention to Fairy Lychee's words, and kept following her.
907
908Fairy Lychee's liver was aching even more.
909
910She sighed, and headed toward Song Shuhang's room. Whoever started this mess should end it.
911
912❄️❄️❄️
913
914Song Shuhang's soul returned to his room, and Northern River's Loose Cultivator's sword orbs flew out of the window.
915
916After returning to the room, his soul sleep walked around the room once, and then returned to his body in a daze.
917
918"Knock, knock, knock~"
919
920Just as his soul returned to his body, someone knocked on the door.
921
922Song Shuhang opened his eyes in a daze.
923
924"I'm so tired." Song Shuhang rubbed his temples, and struggled to get up.
925
926The astral travel consumed a lot of his mental energy.
927
928"Ye Si, are you here?" Song Shuhang said.
929
930On the nearby table, Ye Si rubbed her eyes and raised her head. She had also fallen asleep.
931
932"Strange, how come I fell asleep again?" Ye Si said in puzzlement. She'd felt very energetic today, and she wasn't tired in the least. As such, why did she suddenly fall asleep?
933
934"I think... this might be the doing of some senior," Song Shuhang said.
935
936He propped himself up, and got down from the bed. The fact that Ye Si could fall asleep was something he had anticipated. The senior that dragged his soul away was surely going to put Ye Si to sleep first since she was his ghost spirit; they probably didn't want to alarm her.
937
938"Knock, knock, knock~" The sound of someone knocking on the door echoed again.
939
940"Who is it?" Song Shuhang asked.
941
942"It's me, Lychee. Quickly open the door, there is an urgent matter." Fairy Lychee's voice echoed.
943
944"Senior Lychee?" Song Shuhang rubbed his temples, and went to open the door.
945
946When he opened the door, he discovered that Fairy Lychee was standing at the entrance, wearing an expression of someone whose liver was in great pain. A golden mass of light was floating right beside her.
947
948Eh? Wasn't that his virtuous lamia?
949
950"Ah?" Song Shuhang was dumbfounded. Why was his virtuous lamia floating beside Fairy Lychee?
951
952Fairy Lychee sighed, and then said, "Little friend Shuhang, can I trouble you to take back your light of virtue? Thanks."
953
954Song Shuhang quickly gave a mental order, and the light of virtue whizzed back to his body.
955
956"Senior Lychee, why was my light of virtue with you?" Song Shuhang asked in puzzlement.
957
958"..." Fairy Lychee sighed. "I'm the one that should ask you this question! Why did your light of virtue come to my room? It disturbed my sleep!"
959
960"I'm sorry, Senior Lychee." Song Shuhang made a hollow laugh. Then, he connected his mind to the virtuous lamia.
961
962Had the virtuous lamia undergone some kind of transformation?
963
964When he connected his mind to the virtuous lamia, he discovered that her power of virtue was several times stronger than before.
965
966Earlier in the Inner World, the virtuous lamia had absorbed the power of virtue in the body of that ball of liquid metal. The quantity of virtuous power turned out to be enormous.
967
968After completely absorbing that huge quantity of power of virtue, the virtuous lamia had undergone a few other changes. The color of her tail had become darker, starting to tend toward the color of pure gold. At the same time, her body had become more realistic.
969
970But aside from this, the virtuous lamia hadn't changed in any other way.
971
972Song Shuhang reopened his eyes, his expression confused. Why had his light of virtue headed to Fairy Lychee's room?
973
974"Mama Lychee!" But right at this time, Ye Si pounced in Fairy Lychee's embrace.
975
976"..." Fairy Lychee.
977
978She had almost forgotten that she had accepted Ye Si as her adopted daughter while they were shooting ❮Apocalypse War❯ due to that weird and intimate resonance between the two of them.
979
980After gazing at the happy Ye Si in her embrace, Fairy Lychee remembered that Ye Si was Song Shuhang's ghost spirit... and she really liked to pester her.
981
982The virtuous lamia was Song Shuhang's materialized light of virtue... and she was also giving signs of wanting to pester her.
983
984Was little friend Song Shuhang her kryptonite?
985
986Then, Fairy Lychee had a sudden realization, and asked, "Right. Ye Si, just now, was it you who controlled Song Shuhang's light of virtue and made it enter my room?"
987
988From a certain point of view, a ghost spirit and its master were one entity. Theoretically speaking, Ye Si should also be able to control Song Shuhang's light of virtue.
989
990"I didn't! I'm allergic to Song Shuhang's light of virtue, and I don't dare to get too close to her," Ye Si replied. She was giving her all to avoid that virtuous lamia.
991
992The nearby Song Shuhang fell into deep thought.
993
994He thought of a certain possibility... was it possible that there was some relationship between Fairy Lychee and Immortal Cheng Lin?
995
996For example, Fairy Lychee being Cheng Lin's descendant or someone even closer to her?
997
998Was this the reason the virtuous lamia had automatically floated to Fairy Lychee's side after digesting the power of virtue she had absorbed from the ball of liquid metal?
999
1000After all, the materialized virtuous lamia had been influenced by that woman with the beauty mark they'd met in the Jade Lake Realm.
1001
1002Ye Si... Fairy Lychee... Immortal Cheng Lin... that ghost spirit passed down in Ye Si's family he saw in the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion...
1003
1004There was definitely a close relationship between these four.
1005
1006After visiting Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins, he should be able to uncover this mystery.
1007
1008After thinking up to this point, Song Shuhang asked, "Right. Senior Lychee, have you ever dreamt about something related to Immortal Cheng Lin in the past?"
1009
1010Fairy Lychee shook her head, and said, "I haven't. I've never dreamt about something similar. Why do you ask?"
1011
1012"I think that there is certainly some relationship between you and Immortal Cheng Lin. Perhaps a blood relationship... or some other relationship that is even closer," Song Shuhang said.
1013
1014Fairy Lychee said, "Some other relationship that is even closer... like her reincarnation?"
1015
1016"It's just my guess," Song Shuhang said.
1017
1018"I shouldn't be her reincarnation. If I was her reincarnation, it should be impossible for me not to realize anything," Fairy Lychee said.
1019
1020Just as they were discussing, Venerable White came from afar, and said, "Oh! Shuhang, you woke up. Did you sleep well?"
1021
1022"No, I didn't. In fact, I'm exhausted now," Song Shuhang said in all seriousness.
1023
1024"Hmm, that's understandable," Venerable White said with a smile.
1025
1026Song Shuhang asked, "Senior White, was that matter related to the astral travel your doing?"
1027
1028"Indeed, it was. I've spent a lot of effort to allow you to make that astral travel. Unfortunately, that Thrice Reckless fellow can't keep his mouth shut, and spilled all the beans. Otherwise, I could have brought you on an astral trip a few more times," Venerable White said.
1029
1030"..." Song Shuhang.
1031
1032"That astral travel was extremely beneficial to you. Later, if we have free time, we should look for another opportunity and have fun." Venerable White then added, "Right, we have arrived at Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins. Get ready, we'll set out in a while. Shuhang, take some medicinal pills to restore your exhausted mental energy."
1033
1034❄️❄️❄️
1035
1036Around ten minutes later.
1037
1038Venerable White took out an immortal boat, and brought Song Shuhang and the others to the bottom of the sea where Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins were.
1039
1040After submerging for around 2000 meters, Venerable White suddenly stopped.
1041
1042"Interesting." Venerable White suddenly smiled.
1043
1044"Did something happen?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity.
1045
1046Fairy Lychee's vision passed through the immortal boat, and looked at the distant seafloor. "Is someone lying in ambush?"
1047
1048"Someone is lying in ambush? Who is the enemy?" Song Shuhang asked. A cultivator of the Third Stage like him couldn't display what power at the bottom of the sea, and he could only act as a spectator.
1049
1050"Hmm... it's a rather strange bunch of creatures. From what I remember, they should be called 'sea urchin warriors'," Venerable White replied.
1051
1052"..." Song Shuhang.
1053
1054So it was that crowd of strange fellows that had been brainwashed by the ❮Sea Urchin Warriors' 20 Years of Mandatory Education Manual❯!
1055
1056"Since they decided to lie in ambush here... how did these sea urchin warriors know that we were heading toward the ruins?" Song Shuhang asked.
1057
1058"Who knows." Venerable White stretched out his hand, and pressed on a small formation engraved in the top right corner of the immortal boat. The immortal boat immediately shone, illuminating the surrounding waters.
1059
1060Under the light, many figures suddenly appeared in front of the immortal boat.
1061
1062The sea urchin warriors were wearing black diving suits of the Fourth Stage rank; several needles were popping out of the suits.
1063
1064"What's the strength of this group of sea urchin warriors?" Song Shuhang asked.
1065
1066Young Master Phoenix Slayer spread his spirit sense, and swept the group of sea urchin warriors with it. "Most of them are at the Fourth Stage, with ten or so being at the Fifth Stage. It might be troublesome if they attack the immortal boat together..."
1067
1068"How wonderful would it be if Fellow Daoist Tyrant Flood Dragon was here. The seafloor is his domain," Northern River's Loose Cultivator said with a smile.
1069
1070Fairy Lychee clenched her small fists, and said coldly, "We don't need Fellow Daoist Tyrant Flood Dragon. Let's just get out and kill them."
1071
1072Just as they were discussing, a tall and thin sea urchin warrior stepped forward.
1073
1074It was a sea urchin warrior of the Fifth Stage.
1075
1076After stepping forward, it stared at the immortal boat, its vision falling on Song Shuhang.
1077
1078"You, human that has committed unspeakable crimes! I can smell a thick scent of blood coming from your body. Your body was dyed with blood of many of my companions! You killed an innumerable number of them!" the tall and this sea urchin warrior roared.
1079
1080"..." Song Shuhang.
1081
1082He had almost forgotten that he had the 'Mark of the Sea Urchin Slayer' on his body.
1083
1084"You are done for, sinful human! Today, no one will be able to save you!" the tall and thin sea urchin warrior said in a grave tone. "All those that get dyed with the blood of our race are enemies of all the sea urchin warriors in the world! Escaping is useless, your life is ours to take. Not only them, but even their family members and all the people related to them will... will... will...?"
1085
1086He had forgotten his lines!
1087
1088The tall and thin sea urchin warrior stiffened. He was a sea urchin warrior of the Fifth Stage rank, an elder of their race, and it had been a while since he had personally taken action.
1089
1090As a result, when it was finally his turn to enter into action, it unexpectedly forgot the signature lines of their race.
1091
1092Well, that was rather embarrassing.
1093
1094Luckily, the face of the elder was covered with a piece of black cloth, and one couldn't see his expression clearly.
1095
1096After seeing that the elder was stuck, a young sea urchin warrior of the Third Stage in the rear quietly took out an exquisite book. It was none other than the ❮Sea Urchin Warriors' 20 Years of Mandatory Education Manual❯!
1097
1098Chapter 914: Get the artillery ready and shred them to pieces!
1099
1100Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
1101
1102
1103
1104This copy of the ❮Sea Urchin Warriors' 20 Years of Mandatory Education Manual❯ was a special edition. It was waterproof, it could resist high pressure, and the characters were fluorescent. Even if they were deep in the sea, the sea urchin warriors could quickly consult the content of those 20 years of mandatory education.
1105
1106This book was something the Ministry of Education of the sea urchin warrior race had researched and created the year before last. With this book in hand, the younger generation of the sea urchin warrior race could increase their knowledge whenever they wished, even in the depths of the sea.
1107
1108After quietly taking the ❮Sea Urchin Warriors' 20 Years of Mandatory Education Manual❯, the thin and tall sea urchin elder started to skillfully leaf through it.
1109
1110Then, he raised his head and looked at Song Shuhang, continuing, "Ahem... Not only them, but even their family members and all the people related to them will die in the hands of us sea urchin warriors! But if they kneel and let us behead them, we sea urchin warriors will forgive their family members!"
1111
1112"..." Song Shuhang.
1113
1114Were these sea urchin warriors really this obsessed with these preprepared lines?! To the point that they had to recite them even before the start of a battle?!
1115
1116If they chanced upon a bunch of impatient monster hunters, things might turn tragic.
1117
1118One was a race that had to recite those preprepared lines at all costs before the start of a battle, and the other a crowd of fellows that would have the impulse to massacre monsters as soon as they saw them. It was rather comical if one thought about it.
1119
1120"Shuhang, it seems they are looking for you," Young Master Phoenix Slayer said with a smile.
1121
1122Even though they were facing such a large number of sea urchin warriors, the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group weren't worried.
1123
1124"Indeed. I killed several sea urchin warriors in the past, and they left a mark on my body." Song Shuhang sighed.
1125
1126Venerable White said, "I also killed some of them!"
1127
1128"It seems I killed a few as well," Fairy Lychee said.
1129
1130Medicine Master said, "I didn't directly kill any of them... however, I captured alive a few sea urchin warriors the last time, and brought them back home to raise them and try out some medicine. But just as I was raising them, they suddenly died."
1131
1132Riverly Purple Mist said, "It's not your fault. I probably gave them the wrong medicine that day, causing the demise of those several sea urchin warriors."
1133
1134After hearing these words, Young Master Phoenix Slayer sighed with emotion. "You guys are really cruel! Those sea urchin warriors are so cute and foolish, how can you be that cruel to them?"
1135
1136Phoenix Slayer's voice had just faded that the platoon of sea urchin warriors outside dispersed and carried out a large number of weapons from their rear camp.
1137
1138There were depth charges, torpedoes, supercavitating torpedoes, deep water armor-piercing shells, and other modern weapons used in the depth of the sea. No one knew how the sea urchin warriors had gotten their hands on this stuff. In addition, there were a lot of formations engraved on these weapons. It was clear that the sea urchin warriors had modified and upgraded the weapons after obtaining them.
1139
1140One could say that they were worthy of being an elite race of sea monsters that had undergone 20 years of mandatory education. They had surely kept pace with the times! While researching magical techniques, they didn't forget to research modern high-tech weapons as well!
1141
1142"You, human that has committed unspeakable crimes! Listen well, I'll give you twenty breaths to repent for your actions. You'd better kneel down and cut off your head after these twenty breaths are over. Otherwise... not only you'll die, but your family members will also die in the hands of us sea urchin warriors!" the tall and thin sea urchin warrior elder said again to Song Shuhang.
1143
1144❄️❄️❄️
1145
1146In the immortal boat, Song Shuhang pointed at that bunch of scary modern weapons that the sea urchin warriors had taken out, and said to Young Master Phoenix Slayer, "Senior Phoenix Slayer, look there. Those are the cute and foolish sea urchin warriors you were talking about. Did you now see how cruel they are?"
1147
1148"..." Young Master Phoenix Slayer.
1149
1150But right at this time, Venerable White suddenly said, "Right... Shuhang, go operate the immortal boat in my stead."
1151
1152"Ah? Senior, I don't know how to operate the immortal boat!" Song Shuhang said.
1153
1154"Don't worry. I modified this immortal boat, and it is the same as a car now. If you know how to drive a car, you'll know how to drive this immortal boat," Venerable White explained. "In addition, it's not like you need to do what maneuvers. It's fine as long as you don't let the immortal boat sink. I was thinking of making a trip outside."
1155
1156"A trip outside?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity. "Senior White, what are you planning to do?"
1157
1158"Hmm... actually, I'm interested in those weapons that the sea urchin warriors took out. The guided missile I got the last time was ruined before I could properly research it. Since there are so many modern weapons in front of me today, I was thinking of researching them a little." Venerable White took out a lot of tools from God knew where, his expression one of excitement.
1159
1160"..." Song Shuhang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Senior White, are you sure it's alright?"
1161
1162"Don't worry. I've honed my skills recently, and I'm very good at disassembling stuff now," Venerable White said.
1163
1164Song Shuhang asked thoughtlessly, "How good exactly?"
1165
1166"Hmm... for instance, I'm very good at blowing them up?" Venerable White replied.
1167
1168Young Master Phoenix Slayer, Fairy Lychee, Northern River's Loose Cultivator, Medicine Master, and Riverly Purple Mist were all speechless.
1169
1170While the various fellow daoists were speechless, Venerable White happily opened the cabin door of the immortal boat, and quietly left, heading toward the camp of the sea urchin warriors.
1171
1172❄️❄️❄️
1173
1174"I propose to retreat a little," Song Shuhang suggested.
1175
1176"It's also better to strengthen the defensive formation of the immortal boat," Fairy Lychee added.
1177
1178"The shock absorbing formation can't be neglected, either. The shock waves caused by the explosions are going to be stronger underwater," Medicine Master said slowly.
1179
1180"Let's put safety first," Riverly Purple Mist said with a nod.
1181
1182Thereupon, Song Shuhang and the others quickly got into action.
1183
1184❄️❄️❄️
1185
1186In the meantime, the sea urchin warriors started to surround the immortal boat.
1187
1188Those twenty breaths passed in a twinkling.
1189
1190The corner of the mouth of the sea urchin elder rose beneath the black cloth covering its face, revealing a scheming smile. Those twenty breaths it had offered were just a cover-up.
1191
1192All the people in that immortal boat had been dyed with the blood of its sea urchin brothers. Therefore, it wasn't planning to let any of them off.
1193
1194During those twenty breaths, it ordered the sea urchin warriors to spread out and form an inescapable net. At the same time, they also finished getting ready their magical techniques and modern weapons.
1195
1196"You, human that has committed unspeakable crimes! Actually, even if you were to kneel down and cut off your head, we sea urchin warriors won't forgive your family members. Today, every one of you will die here and wait for your family members in hell! Prepare the artillery and shred them to pieces! No need to think, just act!" The tall and thin sea urchin elder smiled smugly as he gave the order.
1197
1198In the rear, sea urchin warriors started to operate the various torpedoes, depth bombs, supercavitating torpedoes, and so on, locking onto the immortal boat.
1199
1200But just as the sea urchin warriors were preparing to open fire...
1201
1202"Boom~"
1203
1204"Aaaaaah~" A series of pitiful cries echoed. The cries were especially miserable, and they were calling for their fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, as well as wives and mistresses...
1205
1206The explosions also gave rise to scary shock waves.
1207
1208The overall effect of this series of explosions was truly excellent, deserving to be commended!
1209
1210After all, it was the product of the combination of high-tech human weaponry and the formations of the sea urchin warriors! When technology and cultivation were combined, the resulting effect would be much greater than a simple addition!
1211
1212The only problem was that the place the explosions came from was somewhat unexpected...
1213
1214Actually, their weapons had yet to open fire, so where did these explosions come from?!
1215
1216In addition, when the depth charges detonated, they conveniently set on fire the nearby torpedoes. The resulting scene was even more catastrophic than the explosions seen in American movies!
1217
1218The unexpected explosion caught the distant sea urchin warriors off guard. At this time, they were blankly staring at the site of the explosion.
1219
1220Some of their lucky companions, albeit severely injured, managed to leave behind the shock waves of the explosions, and got out of there by relying on their powerful vitality. But, the unlucky ones were forever buried in that place under the power of that mysterious explosion.
1221
1222"What's happening? All our weapons passed the sea urchin quality check, and it should be impossible for them to explode like this!" The eyes of the sea urchin elder were bloodshot.
1223
1224But right at this time, a human figure drilled out of that place where the explosion originated.
1225
1226The speed of this figure was incredibly high. Moreover, it didn't look like it was in bad shape.
1227
1228The powerful explosion from before hadn't been able to injure it in the slightest. There was a rune floating next to this figure, which had formed a thin barrier around its body. The barrier had protected the figure from the power of the explosions.
1229
1230"Ugh, I just removed the outer shell... how come everything blew up? I didn't even get to see the electronic components inside!" Venerable White muttered to himself.
1231
1232While speaking, he swiftly approached another nearby depth charge.
1233
1234Then, under the gaze of the sea urchin warriors, Venerable White took out two small tools, and started to fiddle with that depth bomb.
1235
1236The sea urchin warriors were speechless.
1237
1238"Quickly stop him, stop that human! No, kill him. Kill him directly!" the thin and tall sea urchin elder roared.
1239
1240The young sea urchin warriors finally returned to their senses.
1241
1242The sea urchin warriors next to the depth charge pounced toward Venerable White, and they used the magical treasures in their hands, the needles on their body, and even some ice-type magical techniques to attack him.
1243
1244However, these attacks were simply too weak in front of Venerable White. Attacks of this level couldn't even break his barrier.
1245
1246Thereupon, Venerable White casually activated that talisman barrier, and concentrated on dismantling the depth charge.
1247
1248The attacks of the sea urchin warriors were like torrential rain, and they continuously hit Venerable White's barrier—the scene looked rather cool. It was regrettable that none of these attacks had any effect. Instead, some of the needles thrown at Venerable White bounced back after hitting the barrier, causing endless trouble for the sea urchin warriors.
1249
1250Venerable White was very quick at tearing down that thing, and since he had gained some experience from his previous endeavor, he covered the depth charge with a waterproof covering before dismantling it.
1251
1252The outer shell of the depth charge was quickly taken off, and Venerable White started to happily research its internal structure.
1253
1254This depth charge was a new product developed in 2019. The power of the explosion was pretty good, and one didn't have to worry about water seeping inside. It hadn't been easy for the sea urchin warriors to get their hands on this gadget.
1255
1256Just as Senior White had dismantled half of that thing, and was preparing to research it thoroughly...
1257
1258"Boom~" The charge exploded.
1259
1260Both Venerable White and the nearby sea urchin warriors were involved in the powerful explosion.
1261
1262"How unlucky," Venerable White said. Afterward, he ran to a nearby torpedo.
1263
1264"Aaaaah, dammit! Dammit!" The thin and tall sea urchin elder stomped his foot in anger. "Form a team and go attack that guy. As for the others, stop standing there like idiots, attack the immortal boat! Quickly attack them! Don't let the immortal boat get away!

1269
1270
1271
1272The young sea urchin warriors returned to their senses, and pointed the various torpedoes, missiles, and other weaponry toward the immortal boat, opening fire.
1273
1274"Boom, boom, boom~"
1275
1276Something like 200 bombs was instantly fired toward the immortal boat, and there were several other waves of explosives following behind.
1277
1278Given the weights of these bombs, were they planning to take down an aircraft carrier?
1279
1280Their small immortal boat only had the size of an ordinary vehicle, so wasn't this attack a little too exaggerated?
1281
1282Song Shuhang operated the immortal boat, quickly leaving the place.
1283
1284Now that Venerable White had modified the immortal boat, it was the same as a car. The only difference was that the steering wheel had some extra functions. For example, if one moved the steering wheel up and down, they would be able to make the immortal boat emerge or submerge further.
1285
1286Song Shuhang only had to try it for a while to get the gist of it.
1287
1288Still... the speed of the modified immortal boat wasn't that fast, and it was unable to dodge all those bombs.
1289
1290"Seniors, what do we do now?" While facing those myriads of bombs, Song Shuhang's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
1291
1292The scene was simply too magnificent, and it was inevitable that one would feel their blood rushing to their head.
1293
1294"Don't be impatient. Let me take a few pictures first," Fairy Lychee replied. Just as the immortal boat was about to get hit by hundreds of bombs, Fairy Lychee took out her mobile phone, and aimed outside the boat, taking several pictures.
1295
1296Then, she also took out a selfie stick, and found a good pose while facing the camera.
1297
1298"Click~"
1299
1300Fairy Lychee looked beautiful in the picture, and behind her was a myriad of bombs heading in her direction!
1301
1302"Beautiful. This selfie is the best one I took today," Fairy Lychee said.
1303
1304While speaking, she sent the pictures to her WeChat Moments.
1305
1306[We went to brave dangers with Senior White today, and prepared to explore some ancient ruins. However, we didn't expect that we would get ambushed along the way. The offensive of the enemy was pretty fierce, and they launched a myriad of bombs at us. The bombs will hit our immortal boat in around five breaths.]
1307
1308After sending the message, Fairy Lychee put away her mobile phone, fully satisfied.
1309
1310"..." Song Shuhang.
1311
1312Just like Fairy Lychee had predicted, five breaths later, torpedoes, depth charges, and all sorts of others weapons mercilessly hit the immortal boat.
1313
1314"Boom, boom, boom~"
1315
1316The sound was ear-splitting, and the scene pretty exciting.
1317
1318❄️❄️❄️
1319
1320But right at this time, in the camp of the sea urchin warriors.
1321
1322A sea urchin warrior with a missing leg managed, with great difficulty, to get out of the range of the explosions.
1323
1324Then, it looked at its missing leg with eyes full of terror.
1325
1326"Damn, I actually lost my leg! Not good, I must immediately... take a picture and upload it to my WeChat Moments!" After saying this much, it took out its mobile phone. This mobile phone had been magically modified, and was waterproof and resistant to high pressure.
1327
1328However, the modification of the phone wasn't too good, and after the sea urchin reached the depths of the sea, the signal became very weak.
1329
1330Actually, the sea urchin warrior was originally planning to secretly look for a human cultivator and ask them to modify the mobile phone for it in exchange for some spirit stones. But after making some inquiries, it discovered that human cultivators charged a very high fee to modify mobile phones. It was about one spirit stone of the Second Stage for a mobile phone that could get the signal everywhere on the globe. Then, if one wanted it to be waterproof, fireproof, resistant to high pressure, and so on, they would have to add another spirit stones of the Second Stage. Again, if one wanted a mobile phone that got the signal everywhere in the solar system, they would need to expend a spirit stone of the Third Stage.
1331
1332It was a bit unwilling to pay that price. Therefore, it decided to modify the mobile phone on its own.
1333
1334Anyway, the sea urchin warrior raised its mobile phone, and took several pictures of its missing leg. Afterward, it also raised the phone above its head, taking full pictures of its body.
1335
1336Then, it took advantage of the fact that its phone still had a little bit of signal to upload the pictures to its WeChat Moments. Of course, it didn't forget to beautify its pictures a little before uploading.
1337
1338[Heavens! Today we followed the elder, and went to encircle and kill an evil human that committed unspeakable crimes. But before I could even launch a bomb, I lost my leg! Blood is flowing without a stop, and I'm in so much pain that I feel like dying!]
1339
1340After sending the message, the sea urchin warrior with the missing leg put away its mobile phone. Then, it tilted its head and fainted. Its injuries were very serious. Not only had it lost one leg, but it had also suffered great damage due to the shock waves of the explosions.
1341
1342Therefore, after it had finished taking those pictures, it couldn't hold on anymore, and lost its consciousness.
1343
1344❄️❄️❄️
1345
1346"Boom, boom, boom~"
1347
1348Song Shuhang felt as though the whole immortal boat was falling apart. It was trembling nonstop.
1349
1350The sound of explosions filled the entire boat.
1351
1352At the same time, the sound of the alarm was continuously echoing in the control center of the immortal boat.
1353
1354On the liquid crystal screen, the green energy bar representing the defenses of the immortal boat had now decreased by 70%, falling to a worrying range. If the immortal boat kept getting hit like this, it would be done for.
1355
1356As expected, bombs were the best tools to solve problems! If the problem didn't get solved, it was probably because there weren't enough bombs!
1357
1358Song Shuhang turned around, and asked, "Senior Northern River, do you have any method to fix the defenses?"
1359
1360Northern River's Loose Cultivator shook his head, and said, "There is, but it's pointless... With so many torpedoes and depth charges coming our way, even if I create a defensive barrier with all my power, it won't last for long. Only if I'm given enough time and spirit stones, and can engrave around 200 defensive formations, can I do something about it..."
1361
1362"What do we do in that case?" Song Shuhang opened his eyes wide.
1363
1364"Fear not. Given our strength, it won't be a problem to escape that wave of bombs even if the immortal boat gets destroyed. Our lives aren't in danger," Fairy Lychee said.
1365
1366"..." Song Shuhang.
1367
1368"The second wave of explosions is about to come. The immortal boat is done for," Medicine Master said.
1369
1370"Right, I just remembered that Senior White bought this immortal boat from the scholarly faction not too long ago. After buying it, he even spent a long time to modify it. Such being the case, won't Senior White get angry if the boat gets shredded to pieces?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator said.
1371
1372"Even if he got angry, he would let out his anger on the sea urchin warriors," Young Master Phoenix Slayer said.
1373
1374Song Shuhang suddenly said, "Seniors, wait a moment. There is something wrong with the immortal boat."
1375
1376The level of the defenses of the immortal boat had fallen to 19% according to that liquid crystal screen in the control center.
1377
1378When it happened, a series of notifications popped up.
1379
1380[Warning: The level of the defense of the immortal boat has fallen below 20%. Starting the emergency mode.]
1381
1382At the same time, five push buttons appeared on the screen.
1383
1384[Notification: Please choose the emergency plan.]
1385
1386Song Shuhang gazed at the five buttons. From the looks of it, each button corresponded to an emergency plan. But how was one supposed to choose when there was no introduction to the plans?!
1387
1388How was one supposed to know what did these plans consist in?
1389
1390Song Shuhang turned his head around, and asked the various seniors, "Seniors, what do you think?"
1391
1392"Casually choose one? In the end, they are all emergency plans..." Fairy Lychee said.
1393
1394"Just press on the one you like the most," Northern River's Loose Cultivator said as he shrugged his shoulders.
1395
1396"I don't have any preference," Medicine Master said.
1397
1398"..." Song Shuhang.
1399
1400After seeing that the level of the defenses was getting lower and lower, Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and closed his eyes, choosing one of the plans.
1401
1402After closing his eyes, Song Shuhang pressed on the third button.
1403
1404"Whoosh~"
1405
1406One of the formations inside the immortal boat activated.
1407
1408Inside the formation was a treasured sword... it was precisely Senior White's Meteor Sword.
1409
1410After the formation activated, Meteor Sword suddenly disappeared in the void. This was very likely the work of Senior White's innate space-related skill!
1411
1412"What kind of emergency plan is this? Is it about sending Meteor Sword outside and have it protect the immortal boat?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator asked out of curiosity.
1413
1414His voice had hardly faded that the light of the formation shone again.
1415
1416Then, Meteor Sword appeared again.
1417
1418However, when Meteor Sword appeared this time, there was also another figure with it.
1419
1420It was a tall man with long and silky hair, which was braided into countless mini-pigtails.
1421
1422Two huge under-eye circles, as well as five long bloody lines that went from left to right, were drawn on the face of this man. Then, his face, nose, and lips were pierced with needle-like objects.
1423
1424As for his body, it was covered with all sorts of scary tattoos.
1425
1426It seemed that this guy was one of those ultra-heavy death metal singers.
1427
1428At this time, the heavy death metal rock singer was keeping up a 'roaring' posture. He was crazily strumming the guitar with his eyes closed, and his head was wildly moving back and forward alongside the strumming.
1429
1430At this time, the sound of the guitar had already reached the climax.
1431
1432"Wooooooooo!" the man loudly roared, and started singing.
1433
1434"F*ck, isn't that Dharma King Creation?" When that man started howling, Northern River's Loose Cultivator recognized him.
1435
1436The problem was that Dharma King Creation had changed too much. After seeing that death metal and rock and roll style, as well as exaggerated make-up, no one would relate him to Dharma King Creation!
1437
1438Anyway, why the hell was there an option to summon Dharma King Creation amidst the five emergency plans that Venerable White had left behind?!
1439
1440What was supposed to happen after they had summoned Dharma King Creation?
1441
1442Hmm, right. After getting summon, Dharma King Creation would start singing!
1443
1444Well, that was terrible!
1445
1446"Fellow Daoist Creation, wait a moment..." Fairy Lychee's small face became pale.
1447
1448Song Shuhang's face also became pale. He had recalled that time when Dharma King Creation loudly sang right in front of him. That experience had been even worse than hell.
1449
1450"Dharma King, it's us! We are your friends!" Medicine Master said in a hurry.
1451
1452Unfortunately for them, the Soul King didn't even hear their words, because he was deeply immersed in his music at this time!
1453
1454Dharma King Creation was extremely popular in the world of music as of late, and he would literally set things on fire wherever he went!
1455
1456All the tickets for his concerts were sold out.
1457
1458Well, perhaps everyone in this world had deep inside their heart the wish to seek (death) the thrill?
1459
1460Dharma King Creation's voice possessed great destructive power, and after the news that he could send to the hospital whomever heard his voice became public knowledge, a lot of death metal and rock and roll fans started to adore him.
1461
1462Then, countless people that sought exciting experiences or wanted to experience how it felt to be 'between life and death' also spared no effort to get to Dharma King Creation's concerts from the most remote places.
1463
1464The last half a month had been the happiest half a month in Dharma King Creation's life! No matter where he went, people were willing to listen to his songs!
1465
1466Today was the same, and Dharma King Creation was holding a concert in Europe.
1467
1468Dharma King Creation was singing a Chinese song, and most of the fans didn't understand what he was saying... however, that was hardly a problem! Music, or art in general, was something that went beyond national boundaries!
1469
1470Even if they didn't understand what he was saying, the lethality of his voice and the general madness it would induce were unchanged!
1471
1472After the song had started, the fans would start to cry out in agony. This flavor was truly... terrific!

1477
1478
1479
1480Dharma King Creation, who was deeply immersed in his thoughts and had his eyes closed, quickly strummed the guitar, and shouted with all his might, "Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!"
1481
1482After he opened his mouth, a series of ominous words came out of it. Dharma King Creation had shouted each of those words with his soul, yelling from the depths of his throat.
1483
1484Each time those deadly words came out of his mouth, a shock wave that was visible with the naked eye also spread from his mouth. Along with this series of 'die' spreading around, it felt as though the immortal boat was filled with the shock waves of a nuclear explosion.
1485
1486The sound was ear-splitting!
1487
1488The worst thing was that the immortal boat acted as an echo chamber, and it felt as if Dharma King Creation had sung that piece two or three times.
1489
1490"My ears, my ears... if only I had a pair of headphones now... aaaaah~" Song Shuhang was the first one to fall. Among the people on the scene, he was the weakest one. Therefore, he was naturally the first one to fall. Immediately afterwards, the virtuous lamia appeared. She inflated, firmly wrapping Song Shuhang inside her body to protect him.
1491
1492The next one to fall was Young Master Phoenix Slayer.
1493
1494"Aaaaah~ I'm... dying...!!!" Young Master Phoenix Slayer's eyes rolled back, and foam started to come out of his mouth as he passed out, falling to the ground. His hearing was the most sensitive amidst the fellow daoists on the scene. As such, the music of the Soul King affected him the most.
1495
1496"No... we have to stop Fellow Daoist Creation. Otherwise, every one of us... will fall!" Northern River's Loose Cultivator said while trembling. One couldn't forget that there were still several bombs outside coming their way!
1497
1498Bombs were unforgiving entities, and wouldn't stop just because they wished so!
1499
1500If they passed out due to Dharma King Creation's music, and the defenses of the immortal boat got breached at the same time, they would get bombarded nonstop while in a coma!
1501
1502At that time, it would be truly over for them!
1503
1504...Still, why had Venerable White decided to leave behind the option to summon Dharma King Creation amidst the five emergency plans he had prepared beforehand?! No one could understand the reason behind it!
1505
1506"Those that are unfaithful... will die, die, die! Those that are unfilial... will die, die, die! Die, die, die~" Dharma King Creation swung his head back and forth.
1507
1508From the looks of it, he hadn't even realized that he had been teleported somewhere else.
1509
1510Medicine Master tightly held Riverly Purple Mist's small hand while trembling, and said, "Purple Mist... in the next life... we will also be lovers..."
1511
1512Medicine Master's strength was higher than Song Shuhang's. As such, it took him some more time to fall.
1513
1514At this time, Medicine Master was having hallucinations, and he felt as though the six paths of the wheel of karma had appeared in front of him. At the same time, his mind was completely blank due to the music, and he got the impression that he was going to die soon. As such, he started saying his last words and preparing for his next life.
1515
1516Not too far from them, Dharma King Creation's started singing even more loudly. "Those that are cruel... will die, die, die! Those that are immoral... will die, die, die! Die, die, die..."
1517
1518"Boom, boom, boom~" At the same time, the second wave of torpedoes, artillery shells, and armor-piercing shells battered the immortal boat.
1519
1520The level of the defenses of the immortal boat fell to 5%. The defense of the boat was about to get breached.
1521
1522At this time, while getting protected by the virtuous lamia, Song Shuhang struggled to get up.
1523
1524Someone had used the secret sound transmission method to relay a message in his ears.
1525
1526[Choose the second emergency plan, and after the immortal boat has gotten past this critical stage, press that sound amplifying button in the control center.] Venerable White's calm voice echoed in Song Shuhang's ears.
1527
1528Although he was having fun tearing down bombs outside, Venerable White hadn't forgotten about his immortal boat.
1529
1530Song Shuhang immediately stretched out his hand, and pressed the second button on the display.
1531
1532The third option had the ability to summon Dharma King Creation... but what about the second one? Could it also summon a fellow daoist?
1533
1534In the next moment, Meteor Sword brought next to Song Shuhang a figure wearing a long red dress.
1535
1536As soon as this figure wearing a red dress appeared, she happened to hear a series of "die, die, die". Her small face immediately turned pale as a consequence.
1537
1538The second option also had the ability to summon a fellow daoist of the Nine Provinces Number One Group… and the person summoned this time was Fairy Firefly. She was the same person that had delivered Song Shuhang to space the last time with her power of repulsion.
1539
1540"Why is the Soul King here?" Fairy Firefly's voice was trembling somewhat. At the same time, she saw the torpedoes and depth charges bombarding the immortal boat nonstop.
1541
1542"I see. It seems it's my turn to enter into action!" Fairy Firefly propped herself up, and crossed her hands in front of her chest, taking a deep breath.
1543
1544"Repulsion!!!"
1545
1546In the next moment, she suddenly stretched her hands forward.
1547
1548Along with her magical technique starting to take effect, powerful repulsive strength appeared on the body of the immortal boat.
1549
1550All the bombs that were about to hit the immortal boat stopped in their tracks.
1551
1552The effects of Fairy Firefly's repulsive magical technique were truly exaggerated, and she could even easily send Song Shuhang to space from the Earth. As such, blocking this wave of projectiles was next to no effort for her.
1553
1554All the torpedoes and other explosives stopped outside the range where they would explode.
1555
1556Then, Fairy Firefly shouted lightly, "Go back!"
1557
1558In the next moment, all the bombs heading their way were bounced back thanks to Fairy Firefly's magical technique.
1559
1560The scene was simply too cool.
1561
1562A myriad of bombs and torpedoes ready to shred the immortal boat to pieces suddenly went back by following their original route!
1563
1564The sea urchin warriors were dumbstruck.
1565
1566❄️❄️❄️
1567
1568[Now, press that sound amplifying button!] Venerable White's voice echoed in Song Shuhang's ears again.
1569
1570Thereupon, Song Shuhang's shivering hand pressed the button Senior White mentioned.
1571
1572Immediately after, another one of the formations engraved on the immortal boat activated. The formation ignored the distance and the obstruction of the water, and directly transmitted Dharma King Creation's music into the ears of the sea urchin warriors at the highest quality possible.
1573
1574"Die! Die, die, die, die, die! All those that are unfaithful, unfilial, cruel, and immoral... will die! Die, die, die!" Dharma King Creation's raging howl burst into the ears of the sea urchin warriors. His music was truly poisonous.
1575
1576The ears of the sea urchin warriors burst open.
1577
1578"What the hell is this?!
1579
1580"Ayaya, what is this? Mom~"
1581
1582"Blech~ I'm dying..."
1583
1584"Die, die, die, die~ Ahahaha, die, die, die! I feel like I'm dying too!"
1585
1586"Living this life, it was worth it..."
1587
1588"I'm the heroic sea urchin warrior Jun Rumeng~ Today, I will return to my father's embrace..."
1589
1590"I can see the door of paradise opening! Several of our brothers are standing on both sides of the door, ready to welcome me!"
1591
1592The camp of the sea urchin warriors fell into chaos. A large number of sea urchin warriors began to foam at the mouth, and they passed out amidst the depths of the sea.
1593
1594In the next moment, the bombs Fairy Firefly had bounced back mercilessly hit the knocked out sea urchin warriors.
1595
1596In the sea urchin warrior camp, the sea urchin elder was trying its best to prop itself up. Then, it stretched out its shivering hands, seemingly trying to rupture its eardrums.
1597
1598It wasn't the only one—several other sea urchin warriors also made this choice.
1599
1600The only way to resist this bewitching sound that was flooding their minds was to give up on their hearing.
1601
1602❄️❄️❄️
1603
1604But right at this time...
1605
1606In the immortal boat, Fairy Lychee arrived next to Dharma King Creation with much difficulty.
1607
1608"Stop with your singing immediately!" Fairy Lychee stretched out her hand, and grabbed Dharma King Creation. Then, she used her unique skill, the '365 rounds windmill spin' one.
1609
1610First round, second round, third round!
1611
1612"Aaaaaaaaah!" Dharma King Creation issued a long cry... but contrary to expectations, he wasn't screaming in fear. It just so happened that the next part of his song started with a consonant, and he decided to use this long 'aaaaaaaaah' to carry out the transition.
1613
1614Just as Fairy Lychee was spinning him around, his 'aaaaaaaaah' cry felt first close, and then far. The sound turned into a loop, starting to make everything shake.
1615
1616Dharma King Creation felt that this sound effect was pretty cool. Now that he had added the vibrations on top of the ringtone, he was the strongest singer ever.
1617
1618Thereupon, he kept singing in this fashion.
1619
1620If he wanted to sing, he would sing. No matter where his body was, and no matter what state he was in, he would open his mouth and sing. Those that dared to sing would win! "Die, die, die, die! Those that are unfaithful... will die, die, die! Those that are unfilial... will die, die, die!"
1621
1622Northern River's Loose Cultivator was KO'd as well.
1623
1624If Dharma King Creation's singing voice was the same as a nightmarish and bewitching sound in normal conditions...
1625
1626...then it was still nightmarish and bewitching, but there was also that continuous vibration now that Fairy Lychee was swinging him around like a windmill.
1627
1628During rainy days, the voice of the Soul King and the '365 rounds windmill spin' really went hand in hand~
1629
1630❄️❄️❄️
1631
1632In the camp of the sea urchin warriors.
1633
1634After that bewitching sound plus the vibration effect flooded its mind, the sea urchin elder was KO'd directly.
1635
1636❄️❄️❄️
1637
1638In the meantime.
1639
1640On the border between the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean, a mysterious island not present on any map could be found. A supernatural force covered the whole island, making it impossible to detect even with the most advanced technology.
1641
1642In the airspace of the small island, countless multicolored butterflies were dancing in the air. This place was Miss Soft Feather's home, the Spirit Butterfly Island.
1643
1644Today, Soft Feather's daoist name was 'Fairy Tribulation Transcender', and she was officially preparing to transcend her tribulation.
1645
1646She had already finished engraving all the formations she needed for the tribulation, and her mental state was also in optimal condition.
1647
1648Today's daoist name was the result of her father's paternal love and his well-wishes...
1649
1650However, before transcending her tribulation, Soft Feather borrowed Senior Brother Liu Jianyi's mobile phone without letting her father know.
1651
1652Then, she quietly gave her several friends a call.
1653
1654For example, Miss Chu Chunying from the Chu Family.
1655
1656Or, Senior Song, whom she had met this year.
1657
1658After conversing with her close friend Chu Chunying, Soft Feather happily dialed Song Shuhang's number.
1659
1660Earlier, she discovered that Senior Song and the others had already finished shooting their movie, and she was greatly disappointed as a result. Luckily, her father said that he was shooting a new movie where Senior Thrice Reckless was the main character, and Senior Song was also going to participate for the sake of friendship.
1661
1662Speaking of which, what was Senior Song doing right now? Was he diligently practicing? And what was his realm?
1663
1664Anyway, even after a while, Senior Song didn't pick up his phone.
1665
1666Soft Feather blinked her eyes. Was it possible that Senior Song couldn't pick up his phone at the moment?
1667
1668Perhaps she should call him in a while?
1669
1670Just as she was in deep thought, Senior Song picked up the phone.
1671
1672In the next moment, a bewitching sound that could flood one's mind was transmitted from the other end...
1673

1678
1679
1680"Die, die, die! Everything will die! All those that are unfaithful, unfilial, cruel, and immoral will die! All those that go against the will of the heavens will die whether they resist or surrender!" This was a piece of the new song of the Soul King, the ❮Seven Deaths Song❯, after getting empowered by Fairy Lychee's [365 rounds windmill spin], and obtaining the power of vibration.
1681
1682Fellow Daoist Liu Jianyi, who was standing guard next to Soft Feather, was caught off guard by this bewitching sound, and his knees became soft. He also felt like vomiting, and almost got KO'd.
1683
1684In the depths of the Spirit Butterfly Island, a certain loving father, who was silently watching over the whole island, was also caught off guard by this bewitching music. He immediately spurted all the Spirit Green Tea he was drinking.
1685
1686Soft Feather blinked her eyes. She found this sound that could make one's eardrums shake rather familiar.
1687
1688The sea breeze blew over, making Soft Feather's long hair flutter in the wind. As such, she stretched out her hand to put her hair back in place.
1689
1690The bewitching music was still getting transmitted from the other end of the mobile phone. Soft Feather's long legs couldn't help but move according to the beat of the music, and she even gently started humming the song.
1691
1692There was bound to be some song that would make you feel like humming it after hearing it~
1693
1694"Oh, I remember now. This is Senior Creation's voice! No wonder it was this pleasant to hear," Soft Feather said in a soft voice.
1695
1696Senior Brother Jianyi had started to doubt his ears. Although he had heard several people praise Dharma King Creation's music as of late, they mostly were crazy heavy metal fans, and the reason behind their praise was that it resembled deadly music that had come directly from hell, and could make one hover between life and death.
1697
1698But it was his first time seeing someone praising Dharma King Creation this way and saying that his voice was 'pleasant to hear'.
1699
1700At this time, Song Shuhang's shivering voice was transmitted from the other end. "Hello... is this Senior Brother Liu Jianyi? Were you... looking for me?"
1701
1702"Senior Song, it's not Senior Brother Jianyi. It's me, Soft Feather. I borrowed Senior Brother Jianyi's mobile phone to give you a call," Soft Feather said happily. "Right, Senior Song, I'm going to transcend my tribulation today!"
1703
1704"Soft Feather? How come it's you? Quickly hang up... Otherwise, oh, too late..." Song Shuhang said in a shivering voice. After saying these words, Song Shuhang suddenly turned silent.
1705
1706Soft Feather blinked her eyes, clearly puzzled.
1707
1708After some time, the voice of the Soul King died down... however, Song Shuhang had yet to reply.
1709
1710But Soft Feather was still very satisfied, and said in the phone, "Thank you, Senior Song!"
1711
1712After hearing Senior Creation's music, she was brimming with energy. She, 'Fairy Tribulation Transcender', was definitely going to transcend her tribulation of the Fourth Stage today!
1713
1714After saying these words, she turned off the mobile phone, and placed it beside Senior Brother Jianyi, who was currently foaming at the mouth.
1715
1716Then, she happily hopped toward the place where she was going to transcend her tribulation.
1717
1718Today, she would definitely succeed. Later on, she wouldn't have to worry about losing her way after learning how to ride a flying sword!
1719
1720In the depths of the Spirit Butterfly Island.
1721
1722Venerable Spirit Butterfly fell into deep thought.
1723
1724Was Fellow Daoist Creation's music really pleasant to hear?
1725
1726If his daughter said that it was pleasant to hear, then it was pleasant to hear. Therefore, was it the time to invite Fellow Daoist Creation to the Spirit Butterfly Island and have him hold a concert there?
1727
1728"Jiu Gu, what do you think about inviting Fellow Daoist Creation to the Spirit Butterfly Island and letting him hold a concert?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly asked the colored butterfly beside him.
1729
1730This monster butterfly named Jiu Gu was the same colored butterfly that had taught Song Shuhang how to spin a cocoon, and she was Venerable Spirit Butterfly's right-hand butterfly.
1731
1732"Teacher," the monster butterfly Jiu Gu said in all seriousness, "I think you should keep taking your medicine."
1733
1734"..." Venerable Spirit Butterfly.
1735
1736❄️❄️❄️
1737
1738Limitless Demon Sect, on the 69th Peak, the Mahoraga Peak.
1739
1740Zheng Neng, Demon Monarch Anzhi, and Young Master Hai were still in deep meditation, trying to break through to the Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor Realm. Golden, blood-red, and black-colored mist was hovering above their heads.
1741
1742Zheng Neng and Demon Monarch Anzhi were still trying their best to break through. As for Young Master Hai, who was now acting as the core, he wasn't in great condition.
1743
1744During the past few days, that cursed nightmare had appeared each time he had tried to enter into a state of deep meditation, making him go through a lot of trouble. His internal energy had almost gone berserk on several occasions. At this time, Young Master Hai had become thinner than before, and he looked really pitiful.
1745
1746Young Master Hai suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes. From the looks of it, he had forcefully escaped from that cursed nightmare again.
1747
1748It was all that bastard Song Shuhang's fault!
1749
1750As expected, that cursed nightmare wasn't a one-time curse, but a recurring one. As long as he entered into a state of deep meditation while practicing, he would get dragged to that nightmarish place where the puppets would try to gobble him up.
1751
1752But the strange thing was that all the curse-breaking techniques that Young Master Hai had used turned out to be ineffective, and whenever he got out of that nightmarish place and tried to examine his body, he wouldn't find the traces of that curse. His liver was really in pain.
1753
1754If things continued like this, he would be unable to practice.
1755
1756Therefore, he needed to change his plans a little.
1757
1758He first had to find a way to deal with this curse affecting his body. Therefore, he had to look for the one that had started everything... he had to find Song Shuhang and discover where this curse originated!
1759
1760After thinking up to this point, Young Master Hai quietly got in contact with the 'puppet clone' he had left outside.
1761
1762Recently, he had been trying to find a way to discover Song Shuhang's whereabouts with his puppet clone.
1763
1764At this time, his puppet clone was right in the middle of relaying some information related to Song Shuhang.
1765
1766According to the latest information, Young Master Hai's new secret allies, the sea urchin warriors, had discovered Song Shuhang's whereabouts, and had surrounded him.
1767
1768Among that group of sea urchin warriors, several had with them the magical treasures that Young Master Hai had provided them with. These magical treasures looked like offensive magical items on the surface, but Young Master Hai had secretly installed a device to record conversations inside.
1769
1770"Send over the content of the device," Young Master Hai mentally ordered the puppet clone.
1771
1772After a short moment...
1773
1774Young Master Hai received the content the device had recorded.
1775
1776First was a series of explosions; it seemed that the sea urchin warriors had already started to attack Song Shuhang. The sound of the explosions was probably that of torpedoes and other modern weapons.
1777
1778The battle seemed pretty intense.
1779
1780But right at this time, the sound of another shock wave, whose style didn't really fit with the rest, was transmitted from the device.
1781
1782[Die, die, die! All those that are unfaithful, unfilial, cruel, and immoral will die! Aaaaaaah~] The high and piercing voice of a man echoed from the device while carrying within the power of vibration.
1783
1784The bewitching sound passed through Young Master Hai's eardrums and flooded his mind.
1785
1786In the secret room, Young Master Hai's eyes rolled back, and he passed out with foam coming out of his mouth.
1787
1788Ah, Mom~ Little Hai is coming to you~
1789
1790He could only hope that there was no Dharma King Creation in paradise...
1791
1792❄️❄️❄️
1793
1794Inside the immortal boat.
1795
1796The Soul King was fully satisfied.
1797
1798My show is about to start, and I don't care if no one stays until the end~ Seize the opportunity, and leave every to fate~ Bravely charge forward and let's meet again...
1799
1800My show has ended, and I'm countin the small number people that stayed until the end~ Seize the opportunity, and leave every to fate~ Or are you afraid of standing out amidst the sea of people~?
1801
1802❄️❄️❄️
1803
1804Outside the immortal boat.
1805
1806Venerable White opened his spatial equipment, and started to store all the torpedoes and depth charges that had yet to explode inside.
1807
1808Wasting things was the greatest of sins.
1809
1810❄️❄️❄️
1811
1812At this time, the bodies of the severely injured or unconscious sea urchin warriors started to slowly sink into the depths of the sea.
1813
1814The blood of the sea urchin warriors dyed red this whole stretch of sea. Perhaps the fishes living in this stretch of sea would suffer the brutal retaliation of the sea urchin warriors some time in the future.
1815
1816After all, every living creature that got dyed with the blood of the sea urchin warriors was their enemy! They didn't even let off a small caterpillar!
1817
1818❄️❄️❄️
1819
1820Right below, Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins were like a huge mouth located at the bottom of the sea, and swallowed down the bodies of the falling sea urchin warriors.
1821
1822Venerable White had originally sealed the entrance of the ruins, and unless the other party was much stronger than him, they wouldn't be able to discover the existence of these ruins while the seal was in place.
1823
1824But now, it felt as though the ruins had come back to life, and they started swallowing down the bodies of the falling sea urchin warriors.
1825
1826Venerable White, who was collecting torpedoes, froze. Then, his vision passed through the dark bottom of the sea, and fell on the ruins.
1827
1828After the falling sea urchin warriors were swallowed down, Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins underwent huge changes.
1829
1830Inside the ruins, something that was seemingly confined there broke out of its seal. No, that wasn't quite right... it didn't break out of the seal. That seal in the ancient ruins wasn't there to seal this thing—it was there to hide it. That thing was just sleeping.
1831
1832After the bodies of countless sea urchin warriors fell into the ancient ruins, that thing finally woke up from its sleep.
1833
1834At the same time...
1835
1836Song Shuhang suddenly opened his eyes, and his breathing sped up. Then, he stretched out his hand, and pressed it on his chest. The nucleus in his Heart Aperture was shaking nonstop.
1837
1838There was something that was resonating with the nucleus in his body!
1839
1840Song Shuhang sensed something, and looked toward the bottom of the sea while keeping his hand pressed to his chest. The thing that was making the nucleus in his Heart Aperture shake was at the bottom of the sea.
1841
1842"There is something that wants to come out from the depths of the sea," Ye Si said as she drilled out of Song Shuhang's body.
1843
1844Further below were Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins...
1845
1846There was a complicated relationship between Ye Si and Immortal Cheng Lin. As such, there was a reaction between Ye Si and the ruins as well.
1847
1848Ye Si wasn't the only one... because Fairy Lychee also opened her eyes, her expression confused. He had also seemingly sensed something.
1849
1850❄️❄️❄️
1851
1852"It's coming out," Venerable White said in a grave tone as he used his space-related innate skill, returning to the immortal boat.
1853
1854In the next moment, countless tentacles extended over from the bottom of the sea.
1855
1856Those tentacles were covered with other countless small tentacles that quickly captured the falling sea urchin warriors. It didn't matter if the sea urchin warriors were dead or alive; the tentacles grabbed and dragged them toward the depths of the sea.
1857
1858"Senior White, did you discover this tentacle monster the last time you came to these ancient ruins?" Fairy Lychee asked.
1859
1860"No, those aren't tentacles," Song Shuhang said at this time.
1861
1862"???" Venerable White, Fairy Lychee, and the others were confused.
1863
1864"Those are roots, the roots of a lotus flower to be more precise, and they definitely aren't tentacles! Tentacles and roots belong to completely different existences! Tentacles belong to the animal realm, while roots to the plant realm!" Song Shuhang said in all seriousness.
1865
1866After all, there was a lotus flower that could materialize tens of thousands of roots in his body. Therefore, Song Shuhang could easily tell the difference between tentacles and roots.
1867
1868He kept that hand pressed to his chest, and wondered, Is a lotus flower hiding in Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins?
1869
1870Chapter 918: Am I done for?
1871
1872Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
1873
1874
1875
1876Those lotus flower roots looked very familiar, and they also resonated with the nucleus in his Heart Aperture. In addition, the way they 'ate' the sea urchin warriors was identical to the way his lotus flower ate the evil energy of the Netherworld. Such being the case, was it possible that there was a lotus flower similar to the Sinful Black Lotus found in the Netherworld or the Virtuous Golden Lotus found in the scholarly faction down in Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins?
1877
1878"The last time I visited Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins, I didn't discover the presence of these tenta— roots. I have no idea where this thing was hiding back then," Venerable White said.
1879
1880"Perhaps it was buried underneath the ruins?" Fairy Lychee said.
1881
1882"It's possible," Venerable White said with a nod.
1883
1884While they were discussing, all the sea urchin warriors outside the immortal boat were caught and dragged into the ruins.
1885
1886That whole stretch of sea suddenly turned silent.
1887
1888Actually, the whole deep sea region became weird after losing all the excitement the sea urchin warriors had brought.
1889
1890Anyway, after 'eating' the sea urchin warriors, Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins restored their calm, and even the roots shrank back.
1891
1892The strangest thing was that even the seal that Venerable White had placed at the entrance was restored to its previous state—although those roots had clearly broken through the seal earlier.
1893
1894"..." Venerable White.
1895
1896It was the same as a prisoner opening the door of their cell in front of the guard, eating all the food beside the guard, and then returning to the cell under the dumbfounded gaze of the guard as if nothing had happened.
1897
1898"Do we still want to enter those ruins?" Song Shuhang asked.
1899
1900Venerable White said, "Of course, we are already at the entrance, how can we not enter? In addition, if there is really a lotus flower in there, I'm rather interested in it."
1901
1902"In that case... can I trouble Senior White to send me back first? My fans must be worried after seeing that I suddenly disappeared. Therefore, it's better if I go back as soon as possible," Dharma King Creation suddenly said at this time.
1903
1904His concert had reached the climax when he suddenly disappeared and came here.
1905
1906"Dharma King, don't you want to come with us and explore the ruins?" Fairy Lychee asked out of curiosity.
1907
1908"Maybe next time, I'm in no hurry," Dharma King Creation said. Venerable White had given all the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group the opportunity to enter the ruins once without paying any cost. Therefore, he was in no rush. In addition, what would his fans think if he suddenly disappeared? He had to quickly go back and deliver his fans to hell with his voice!
1909
1910Venerable White nodded, and then stretched out his hand, giving a small book to Dharma King Creation. "This is the reward I've promised you when you agreed to help. Hold it tightly, I'm sending you back."
1911
1912"Is that some kind of cultivation technique?" Song Shuhang asked out of curiosity. It wasn't that he was a meddlesome person... he asked only because he saw the word 'sound wave' written on the cover of the small book.
1913
1914It wasn't some special cultivation technique related to sound waves, right...?
1915
1916Giving Dharma King Creation a powerful cultivation technique related to sound waves was a terrible thing!
1917
1918"It's a sound wave-related cultivation technique I've picked up in some ancient ruins in the past. It can allow the user to make their voice clearer, removing all the noise. Fellow Daoist Creation believes that this cultivation technique will aid him while singing," Venerable White explained.
1919
1920After hearing these words, Song Shuhang and Fairy Lychee were a little relieved. Luckily, Dharma King Creation hadn't stopped seeking treatment. With this cultivation technique, there was perhaps still hope to save the voice of the Soul King.
1921
1922"I hope Dharma King will master this technique quickly," Fairy Lychee said.
1923
1924Dharma King Creation faintly smiled, and then suggested, "Fairy Lychee, how about holding a concert with me?"
1925
1926Fairy Lychee said, "Ah? I don't remember having any talent when it comes to dancing or singing! Isn't it better if you ask Dongfang Six?"
1927
1928"No, you don't need to sing. You only need to grab and swing me around like a windmill while I'm singing. I felt that the way my voice sounded when it happened was absolutely great," Dharma King Creation said with a bright smile.
1929
1930Try to imagine the scene... Dharma King Creation is holding a concert, and the petite Fairy Lychee appears on the stage, and suddenly starts to swing him around like crazy. That picture was simply too beautiful.
1931
1932Fairy Lychee gritted her teeth, and said, "Dharma King, it seems you forgot to take your medicine on time."
1933
1934Dharma King Creation was disappointed. He felt that his music would have truly gone hand in hand in Fairy Lychee's 365 rounds windmill spin.
1935
1936At this time, Fairy Firefly also recovered. She was the last person to come, and thus the one that suffered the effects of Dharma King Creation's singing the least. This was the reason she recovered this quickly.
1937
1938"Senior White, can you send me back as well while you are at it? I have some small matters I need to take care of. I'll wait the next time to explore the ruins," Fairy Firefly said weakly.
1939
1940"Sure." Venerable White took out a small box, and gave it to Fairy Firefly. Inside the box was a special magnetic treasure that could aid Fairy Firefly during the practice of her cultivation technique. This was the reward Fairy Firefly was going to receive when she agreed to come over.
1941
1942Then, Venerable White took out two 'Meteor Swords' from his sleeve, and gave them to Fairy Firefly and Dharma King Creation. "Hold onto the flying swords firmly. I'm going to teleport you back."
1943
1944"Eh?" Song Shuhang opened his eyes wide. "Two Meteor Swords?"
1945
1946If the one in the immortal boat was added as well, there were three Meteor Swords altogether.
1947
1948"Ahaha, no, no. These flying swords aren't the real deal, they are just something I forged while creating that 'cosmos bracelet' for you—the Sun and Moon Concealing Beads. I was bored during the process, and had nothing to do. Their shape is very similar to Meteor Sword's, but they are actually just crude flying swords. As for the real Meteor Sword, I lent it to Su Clan's Sixteen so that she could transcend her tribulation, and I have yet to take it back," Venerable White explained.
1949
1950"Senior White, do you want to research a new type of disposable flying sword?" Dharma King Creation asked out of curiosity.
1951
1952"No," Venerable White said, "it's because I recently saw a TV series where there was a very cool scene with ten thousand swords put together. Thereupon, I decided to forge ten thousand swords and form a sword formation. It will be rather cool to wield ten thousand swords the next time I meet an enemy. If I could add that 'ring magical technique' I used the last time to it, even better."
1953
1954This 'ring magical technique' Venerable White mentioned was the same one he used back in the Jade Lake Realm to defeat Demon Venerable Lushan Street. He had first created a huge ring, and then stuffed it with disposable flying swords. Afterward, the ring added hundreds of supplementary magical techniques to each of those flying swords, finally firing them out. The resulting power was unimaginable, and the attack had directly blown away the mountain valley and formations Demon Venerable Lushan Street had been hiding behind.
1955
1956At this time, Demon Venerable Lushan Street was still in Venerable White's lamp, acting as its spirit. No one knew when his lucky star would shine.
1957
1958Song Shuhang quietly wiped the sweat off his forehead. The 'ten thousand' swords he saw in that scene surely weren't that many! But Venerable White was now really planning to forge ten thousand flying swords!
1959
1960He felt sorry for the enemies Senior White would meet in the future... later, whenever his enemies died, they would be shredded into countless pieces.
1961
1962❄️❄️❄️
1963
1964"Whizz, whizz~" Two sword lights flashed, and Fairy Firefly and Dharma King Creation were sent back.
1965
1966Now then, how was Dharma King Creation going to explain to his dear fans his sudden disappearance? The simplest and crudest way would be to scream at the top of his lungs and send them directly to hell. After waking up in the hospital, they would likely forget about Dharma King Creation suddenly disappearing in the middle of the concert.
1967
1968❄️❄️❄️
1969
1970Several minutes later.
1971
1972Inside Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins.
1973
1974Venerable White headed into the ruins with Song Shuhang and Fairy Lychee. In the rear, a flying sword was supporting Northern River's Loose Cultivator, Young Master Phoenix Slayer, Medicine Master, and Riverly Purple Mist.
1975
1976The four fellow daoists were still in a weakened state, and had yet to recover from Dharma King Creation's singing.
1977
1978"There are some traps here. Everyone, be careful." Venerable White, who led the way, prompted everyone to avoid the traps ahead.
1979
1980While walking, they arrived in front of a huge crater. Inside the crater was a several meters wide pit, totally black. One couldn't even see the bottom.
1981
1982"Is this a trap as well?" Fairy Lychee said while on her guard. While exploring ancient ruins, no matter what kind of unusual thing appeared, there was a chance it might be hiding some deadly mechanism. The crater before them happened to be very unusual, and it stood out from the rest of the surrounding area. There was definitely something wrong with it!
1983
1984"Eh? Why do I find this crater familiar?" Song Shuhang held his chin, and sized up the crater.
1985
1986"..." Venerable White.
1987
1988Song Shuhang suddenly thought of something, and raised his head, looking at Senior White.
1989
1990"..." Venerable White.
1991
1992"Ahahaha." Song Shuhang made a hollow laugh.
1993
1994This crater was Venerable White's doing.
1995
1996He remembered from the chat logs of the Nine Provinces Number One Group that Venerable White had been exploring the ancient ruins with Great Master Profound Principle, True Monarch Fallout, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, Cave Lord Snow Wolf, Soft Feather, and Venerable Spirit Butterfly back then. Soon after they had gotten into the ruins, this group made of several True Monarchs and Venerables was suddenly wiped out.
1997
1998And the reason it was wiped out... was Venerable White.
1999
2000If possible, Venerable White would have really liked to use the 'Ground Leveling Spell' to cover up the crater.
2001
2002However, he couldn't cover it up, because there were good things concealed beneath. The records of Immortal Cheng Lin's speech were located precisely at the bottom of his hole.
2003
2004After sighing, Venerable White said, "Let's go. Follow me."
2005
2006After saying this much, he jumped into the crater, and then into the hole within.
2007
2008Song Shuhang and Fairy Lychee followed Senior White. The flying sword also closely followed behind while carrying Northern River and the others.
2009
2010After jumping into the hole, the duo felt that their bodies were quickly heading downward, just as though they were bungee jumping.
2011
2012"Damn, there is a flight restricting formation here!" Fairy Lychee shouted.
2013
2014"Senior White?" Song Shuhang said, somewhat restless.
2015
2016"Oh, I forgot to remind you? However, it doesn't matter. This hole isn't deep. No need to fear," Venerable White said calmly.
2017
2018After hearing these words, Song Shuhang calmed down. If the hole wasn't deep, it was a good thing.
2019
2020But after twenty breaths, he was somewhat confused.
2021
2022They had been falling for so long, and had yet to reach the end! From the looks of it, this whole was actually a little deep!

2028
2029
2030"Senior White, you said the hole wasn't deep... but it wasn't deep for a cultivator of which realm?" Song Shuhang asked.
2031
2032"Hmm, a cultivator of the Fifth Stage," Venerable White said.
2033
2034Song Shuhang said, "In that case, am I done for?" Won't I turn into minced meat after reaching the bottom?
2035
2036"Don't worry, I'm here," Venerable White reassured him.
2037
2038"Boom~"
2039
2040Just as they were speaking, Venerable White reached the ground before the others, and created a deep hole.
2041
2042Senior White calmly got out of the hole, and stretched out his hand, making a hand seal. In the next moment, countless soft grains of sand resurfaced in the hole.
2043
2044The sand automatically moved upward and caught Song Shuhang and Fairy Lychee, as well as Northern River's Loose Cultivator and the others, who were still on the flying sword.
2045
2046When he jumped down from that mass of sand, Song Shuhang felt that his legs had become somewhat soft. In addition, he felt that his acrophobia might get better only after he had advanced to the Fourth Stage and learned how to ride a flying sword.
2047
2048"Actually, you could have simply used that 'Lotus Blossoming Walk' skill before reaching the ground, Shuhang." Ye Si's voice echoed in Song Shuhang's head. When they were about to reach the ground, they were able to use magical techniques and innate skills again. Therefore, Song Shuhang only needed to use the Lotus Blossoming Walk to stabilize himself in midair.
2049
2050"..." Song Shuhang.
2051
2052However, Fairy Lychee's pupils suddenly shrank as she said vigilantly, "There is someone here!"
2053
2054Song Shuhang turned his head around, and looked in the same direction as Fairy Lychee.
2055
2056Soon after, he saw a partly visible silhouette of a powerful ancient cultivator. They were wearing the same cap daoist priests used to wear in ancient times as well as a daoist robe with golden patterns. The cultivator was currently sitting cross-legged on a jade white lotus throne. Above the head of the ancient cultivator was a full-moon-shaped halo that concealed their appearance, making the onlookers unable to see their face clearly.
2057
2058When Song Shuhang saw the full-moon-shaped halo on the head of the figure, several sudden realizations welled up in his hearts.
2059
2060The radiant full moon-shaped halo implied the person they were seeing was an 'Immortal' that had found their own 'way' to immortality. The halo was like a mirror, and regardless of the level of the cultivator looking at it, the latter would come to different realizations after the radiance stemming from the 'way' shone onto their body.
2061
2062"You can see her as well? From the looks of it, there is fate between you and her," Venerable White said. "Shuhang, she is that 'Immortal Cheng Lin' you wanted to see so much."
2063
2064It hadn't been long since they entered the ancient ruins, and they had already managed to see the master of that place.
2065
2066At this time, Immortal Cheng Lin made a seal with one hand, and used the other one to gently sway her fly-whisk.
2067
2068The Jade Lake Empress of the ancient Heavenly City was currently saying something.
2069
2070She was discussing a very famous daoist text that had spread far and wide—the Daoist Canon.
2071
2072Song Shuhang had also heard about the [Daoist Canon], but he hadn't researched this text yet.
2073
2074Soon after, Cheng Lin started with her speech, and a wondrous feeling spread all around.
2075
2076In the rear, Northern River's Loose Cultivator, Young Master Phoenix Slayer, Medicine Master, and Riverly Purple Mist also woke up. However, they were unable to see Immortal Cheng Lin, and could only faintly feel the wondrous effects of her speech.
2077
2078"It's a pity that her face isn't visible." Song Shuhang sighed.
2079
2080That full-moon-shaped halo was covering Immortal Cheng Lin's face as she was sitting on that jade white lotus flower. The daoist robe she was wearing was also very baggy, and Shuhang couldn't get any useful information about her body structure.
2081
2082"Don't be impatient. Keep looking." Venerable White faintly smiled, and stretched out his hand, activating his 'illusory reality'.
2083
2084It wasn't that blazing hot desert, but the brand-new transparent illusory reality.
2085
2086Along with this illusory reality, an extra little friend Song Shuhang also suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
2087
2088This brand-new little friend Song Shuhang was sitting cross-legged when he suddenly stood up, revealing a bitter smile on his face. "Hello, Senior True Monarch White. I'm right beside you!"
2089
2090These were the words Song Shuhang had said to Venerable White the first time they met...
2091
2092The real Song Shuhang was dumbfounded.
2093
2094Next, little friend Song Shuhang's expression turned into one of shock as he screamed, "The brakes, quickly press the brake! ...Senior, this is not what I meant! There is a cliff ahead!!"
2095
2096"..." Song Shuhang.
2097
2098This memory really wasn't a pleasant one.
2099
2100Young Master Phoenix Slayer, Northern River's Loose Cultivator, Medicine Master, Riverly Purple Mist, and Fairy Lychee all turned silent. It seemed that little friend Shuhang had suffered a lot!
2101
2102Next, the illusory little friend Song Shuhang was preparing to say something else.
2103
2104But right at this time, Venerable White snapped his fingers, and that little friend Song Shuhang stopped in place, not moving in the slightest.
2105
2106"This is a new illusory reality that I'm still building. At this time, it's half finished. However, the fact that it's a half finished also has its advantages. For example, the fact that it's transparent," Venerable White said calmly.
2107
2108Through this 'transparent' illusory reality, Northern River's Loose Cultivator and the others could see Immortal Cheng Lin as she was holding her speech.
2109
2110Cheng Lin started explaining the [Daoist Canon]. Aside from Song Shuhang, everyone else had some understanding of this daoist text, and they were listening with great interest.
2111
2112The fellow daoists felt as though each word of Immortal Cheng Lin's speech was a gem, with each sentence carrying the sound of the Great Way itself. Strange phenomena appeared, magical clouds blossomed, and golden lotus flowers continuously bloomed and withered in the air...
2113
2114All the people present comprehended the things they needed the most from the speech.
2115
2116"Listening to this speech once had better effects than diligently practicing for several years!" Northern River's Loose Cultivator said. Exactly what you would expect from the speech of an Immortal!
2117
2118Very soon... Cheng Lin's speech came to an end. She had finished explaining the first chapter of the [Daoist Canon].
2119
2120In the next moment, the full-moon-shaped halo on top of Immortal Cheng Lin's head became even more dazzling, and the jade white lotus flower she was sitting on changed into starry dust, completely disappearing.
2121
2122"It's time," Venerable White said to Song Shuhang. "Didn't you want to see Cheng Lin's appearance? You'll see her face next."
2123
2124Song Shuhang looked at the picture before his eyes with rapt attention.
2125
2126In the next moment, a huge lotus flower started to 'grow' out of thin air, completely enwrapping Immortal Cheng Lin's body. The wondrous principles of the Great Way then appeared inside this lotus flower.
2127
2128"That Immortal is about to show us her way to immortality! This trip was completely worth it!" Young Master Phoenix Slayer said in amazement.
2129
2130If they could look at an Immortal displaying her way to immortality, they would profit immensely!
2131
2132Just as the Immortal demonstrated her way to immortality, the onlookers perceived an incomplete set of principles. The feeling this set of principles gave them was similar to either 'being reborn amidst death' or 'getting a new lease on life'.
2133
2134A new life was suddenly born within the body of the ancient cultivator. At this time, the new life was on the verge of coming to the world.
2135
2136The new, soon-to-be-born, life was her child... but also she herself!
2137
2138At this time, Ye Si drilled out of Song Shuhang's body, her expression very tense. She wanted to say something, but at the same time didn't know what to say.
2139
2140In the end, she anxiously looked at Song Shuhang. "Shuhang!"
2141
2142"There is no mistaking." Song Shuhang gently nodded. This scene was very familiar.
2143
2144He was already sure of his guess, and now, he was only waiting for Immortal Cheng Lin to reveal her face.
2145
2146Next to Song Shuhang, Fairy Lychee was also on tenterhooks, and felt very strange.
2147
2148Am I really Cheng Lin's reincarnation or Cheng Lin herself after her rebirth? Fairy Lychee started to wonder.
2149
2150❄️❄️❄️
2151
2152After a short moment, the lotus flower enwrapping the ancient cultivator finally opened, revealing a beautiful body of unsurpassed perfection inside. This body was simply perfect, and didn't have a single flaw!
2153
2154It was precisely her newborn self! As for her old body, it had already merged with the huge lotus flower, disappearing.
2155
2156This was her way to immortality... the ability to give birth to herself and be born again.
2157
2158The 'newborn self' stood up while inside the lotus. The leaves of the lotus turned into a daoist robe that wrapped around her body.
2159
2160On the other hand, the seeds of the lotus turned into a slanted daoist cap that fell on her head. The lotus flower shrank, turning once again into a jade white lotus throne that floated beneath her feet, supporting her body.
2161
2162In the next moment, her face became visible to all the onlookers.
2163
2164As expected, it's really her! Song Shuhang thought to himself.
2165
2166"Cheng Lin..." Ye Si called out the name in a soft voice.
2167
2168Next to Song Shuhang, Fairy Lychee also murmured the name 'Cheng Lin'.
2169
2170That lamia made of golden light of virtue residing in Song Shuhang's body also came out, starting to float beside Song Shuhang. She stared at Cheng Lin's distant picture without blinking.
2171
2172Venerable White turned his head around, and looked at Song Shuhang. "Did you find the answer to your questions?"
2173
2174"Yes, I know the answer now," Song Shuhang said with a nod.
2175
2176The Cheng Lin he saw in the picture was none other than the ghost spirit passed down in Senior Sister Ye Si's family.
2177
2178Her appearance, her daoist robe, and slanted daoist cap were all identical to that of the ghost spirit in his memories.
2179
2180Such being the case, the destruction of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion and the destruction of the ancient Heavenly City were related.
2181
2182Back then, Fairy Cheng Lin lived in the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion with the status of the ghost spirit passed down in Senior Sister Ye Si's family.
2183
2184It lasted until the day the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was destroyed... If Song Shuhang's guess was correct, those 'monster hunters' that destroyed the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion were very likely related to the ancient Heavenly City, possibly even part of the forces of the Heavenly City.
2185
2186After that, the ghost spirit passed down in Senior Sister Ye Si's family became the Jade Lake Empress, and joined the ancient Heavenly City. Several years later, she caused the ancient Heavenly City to fall.
2187
2188After causing the destruction of the Heavenly City, Cheng Lin brought the fragments of the Tribulation Transcender-rank godly weapons of the ancient Heavenly City to the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, and scattered them all around to pay tribute to the already defunct pavilion.
2189
2190The scene that played next further confirmed Song Shuhang's guess.
2191
2192In the picture, Fairy Cheng Lin said several words to the recording device, just as though she knew her end was drawing near.
2193
2194In the next moment... a pair of jet-black hands ripped space open and entered the picture.
2195
2196Those jet-black arms were covered with pairs of blood-red eyes. Above the head of the owner of the two black hands was also a full-moon-shaped halo. The halo was full with the principles of death and destruction—the opposite party was also an Immortal.
2197
2198"Just as expected..." Song Shuhang said.
2199
2200In the past, this Immortal with jet-black arms covered in eyes had appeared during the destruction of the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion.
2201
2202Back then, he was very young, and was one of the members of the monster hunter force.
2203
2204The eyes he had on his arms back then were only the eyes of ordinary monsters, and when he activated these eyes, he could shoot out all sorts of magical techniques and skills...
2205
2206As such, everything that had happened was related.
2207
2208However, Song Shuhang was confused about something.
2209
2210Why had the monster hunters attacked the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion back then? Monster hunters would have that strange impulse to get into action only when they saw the members of the monster race. Was it possible that they had decided to destroy the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion in order to silence a witness?
2211
2212At this time, the scene had already reached the point where Immortal Cheng Lin's head was about to be burst open.
2213
2214The recording should have come to an end after Cheng Lin's head was burst open... but something totally unexpected happened.
2215
2216That Immortal with arms covered in eyes turned his head around, and grinned evilly. "I've finally found you, Cheng Lin!"
2217
2218Chapter 920: Did you see? The Imperial Pearl is still here! ...Crack~
2219
2220Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
2221
2222
2223
2224This Immortal with jet-black arms was the person that had murdered Cheng Lin back then. But, he had been suspecting that Cheng Lin might be still alive even until now... Cheng Lin was the Jade Lake Empress, and it was impossible that she would allow the other party to casually crack her head open without even putting up a fight.
2225
2226As such, he was suspecting that Cheng Lin had secretly left behind a method to come back to life, and when she allowed herself to be killed back then, she appeared weak on purpose! After all, when it came to methods to come back to life, who could match up to Cheng Lin, whose way to immortality was all about 'giving birth to a new life'?
2227
2228Therefore, after cracking her head open, this Immortal left a trap in Cheng Lin's immortal cave.
2229
2230After that, he started waiting... waiting for Cheng Lin to come back to this place after resurrecting!
2231
2232The probability was rather low. After all, even if Cheng Lin came back to life, it wasn't very likely that she would return to his old immortal cave...
2233
2234However, it wasn't going to cost him anything to leave behind this small trap. Who knew, perhaps he might get some unexpected gains in the future?
2235
2236Today, the trick he had left behind finally came in handy.
2237
2238The Jade Lake Empress Cheng Lin had returned!
2239
2240❄️❄️❄️
2241
2242"Shiet, the opposite party discovered our presence!" Northern River's Loose Cultivator said. After that Immortal with jet-black arms stared at them, Northern River felt huge pressure. After all, Immortals were existences that stood at the pinnacle of the world of cultivators!
2243
2244Young Master Phoenix Slayer was even more miserable. This Immortal with jet-black arms had a few talismans attached to his body that gave out his identity as a monster hunter. That bastard was actually a monster hunter... and Phoenix Slayer happened to be the only member of the monster race there! He was so terrified that he was about to wet himself.
2245
2246"Senior White, isn't it time to run?" Fairy Lychee said. Although that Immortal with jet-black arms gazed at all the present when he said those words, Fairy Lychee felt that he was very likely talking about her... After all, the chances that the opposite party had recognized her as Cheng Lin's reincarnation were very high!
2247
2248"It's useless... he locked onto our position through the power of space already. The opposite party is an Immortal, and his ability to use the power of space far surpasses mine. Even if we run through the power of space, the opposite party will still find us," Venerable White in a grave tone.
2249
2250Young Master Phoenix Slayer clenched his teeth. After getting stared at by a monster hunter of the Immortal rank, he was definitely the most miserable person on the scene—of course, after Immortal Cheng Lin's reincarnation. Then, if it turned out that he was Immortal Cheng Lin's reincarnation, he would be super f*cked.
2251
2252"Coordinates locked onto through space..." Song Shuhang fell into deep thought. He had recalled his Inner World.
2253
2254Although his Inner World was still very small, it was a world that belonged solely to him. Without his consent, no one could enter his Inner World. Would they be able to escape from this Immortal with jet-black arms if he brought all the seniors to his Inner World?
2255
2256Just as Song Shuhang was about to tell the seniors not to resist and enter his Inner World, Venerable White added, "Anyway, it's not like I don't have a way... although the opposite party is an Immortal, the one here isn't their main body. What was left behind is an afterimage created through some magical technique; it's not even a clone. Its strength shouldn't be too high, and as long as we destroy this afterimage left behind through a magical technique, the main body of that Immortal will lose track of us!"
2257
2258"Therefore, what does Senior White want to do?" Fairy Lychee asked.
2259
2260"Attack him!" Venerable White said firmly.
2261
2262Senior White prepared the ❮Explosive Space Compressing Technique❯ he had learned from the Scholarly Sage. With this secret technique, he would be able to ward off an attack or two even if that Immortal decided to attack him through the space lockdown.
2263
2264However, the other fellow daoists didn't have such a secret technique at their disposal, and they didn't know how to use the power of space, either.
2265
2266Therefore, for the good of various the fellow daoists, he had to take care of this problem now to avoid further trouble in the future!
2267
2268Riverly Purple Mist said, "But the opposite party is an Immortal, and he can use the power of space. If he wants to come over with his main body, he needs but a thought."
2269
2270If that Immortal with jet-black arms came over with his main body while they were fighting the afterimage, they would all die.
2271
2272Medicine Master faintly smiled, and patted Riverly Purple Mist. "We must still put up a fight." If the coordinate lockdown wasn't removed, that Immortal would kill them through the power of space, just like pinching a bunch of ants.
2273
2274"It's true that an Immortal would need only a thought to come over with his main body, but the main body of the opposite party hasn't come yet. Although I don't know the reason, it might be that he's closing up and has reached a critical moment, or perhaps someone is slowing him down. In other words, if we take care of this coordinate lockdown now, all our future troubles will be solved. Kill him! Let's get into action after I take back my illusory reality," Venerable White said as he quickly chanted an incantation and made a hand seal.
2275
2276A huge ring of light appeared in front of those present, and all the surrounding spiritual energy crazily poured into it.
2277
2278Due to this spiritual energy pouring into the ring too quickly, the picture of a 'funnel' appeared midair. It was a sign that this magical technique was powerful enough to affect the surrounding area and cause strange phenomena!
2279
2280After that, a huge oppressive strength was released from the ring of light the magical technique had generated.
2281
2282At the same time, the monster willow Qing Wu coordinated with Venerable White and jumped out from his waist area, changing into her real form.
2283
2284After that, she used her tree branches to continuously load bundles upon bundles of disposable flying swords into the ring of light. Aside from disposable flying swords, several flying swords that looked like 'Meteor Sword' were also thrown into that ring of light.
2285
2286This magical technique was the same one that Venerable White had used in the Jade Lake Realm to defeat Demon Venerable Lushan Street. It was a magical technique that only a spendthrift would use.
2287
2288At the same time, the monster willow also took out 'Genie Lushan Street'. Qing Wu used her tree branches to rub the lamp a few times, and the black-robed Demon Venerable Lushan Street made his cool appearance.
2289
2290After appearing, Genie Lushan Street didn't speak, and simply floated upward. Then, three huge eyes condensed behind his back. The demonic eyes opened one after another; a power that could destroy everything was concealed within these eyes.
2291
2292Northern River's Loose Cultivator didn't hesitate to take out his twelve sword orbs. The strongest technique at this disposal, [Twelve Swords of the Milky Way—Night Sky], was ready to be launched.
2293
2294Fairy Lychee, Young Master Phoenix Slayer, Medicine Master, Riverly Purple Mist, and Ye Si all prepared their strongest attacks.
2295
2296Song Shuhang didn't make a move. By relying on his strength of the Third Stage, even if he were to display his strongest attack, the Flaming Saber Technique, he would contribute nothing.
2297
2298He stood behind the various seniors, and if the situation turned for the worse, he would pull them into his Inner World. With him there, the seniors would have an additional layer of protection.
2299
2300"Let's go!" Venerable White took back his illusory reality.
2301
2302In the next moment, more than a hundred disposable flying swords, as well as crude versions of Meteor Sword, were empowered by a whole hundred supplementary magical techniques after passing through that ring of light. They turned into dazzling seven-colored divine weapons that slashed toward that Immortal with jet-black arms.
2303
2304The sword light rained down, and the whole world was instantly overshadowed!
2305
2306At this time, the whole world was filled with seven-colored sword light!
2307
2308"Boom, boom, boom~"
2309
2310The aura of a nouveau riche spread everywhere!
2311
2312Unfortunately, the number of disposable flying swords Venerable White had with him wasn't enough. Otherwise, the visual effect of this magical technique would have been ten times more exaggerated.
2313
2314Genie Lushan Street's demonic eyes also entered into action, and created that demonic region.
2315
2316Northern River's Loose Cultivator's Night Sky followed immediately after them.
2317
2318Soon afterward followed Fairy Lychee's divine arrow, Young Master Phoenix Slayer's five-colored attack, Riverly Purple Mist's purple sword light, Ye Si's ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯, and Medicine Master's mist.
2319
2320"Boom, boom, boom~"
2321
2322The various attacks simultaneously hit the afterimage of that Immortal with jet-black arms.
2323
2324Above was a night sky, and below a demonic area. Then, there was also a divine arrow, five-colored mysterious light, purple sword qi, and so on...
2325
2326Other than that, there was also Venerable White's attack of hundreds of flying swords that hit the Immortal in rapid succession. Fire, lightning, sharp sword qi, ice... all sorts of effects were present amidst the sword light.
2327
2328This joint attack continued for a total of ten breaths!
2329
2330❄️❄️❄️
2331
2332Ten breaths later.
2333
2334"Did we manage to destroy it?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator asked. If they had destroyed the afterimage of that Immortal in one attack, it would have been great.
2335
2336After all, no one would like to be on the mind of a hostile Immortal, especially if the opposite party had locked onto your coordinates through the power of space. If they were a little careless, they would die without even knowing how.
2337
2338Venerable White didn't reply. He was trying to sense the status of that 'coordinate lockdown'.
2339
2340After a short time, Venerable White heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled. "It was a success!"
2341
2342That feeling of having their coordinates 'locked onto' had disappeared.
2343
2344At this pace, that Immortal would be unable to lock onto their coordinates again. Now, Venerable White could use the power of space and flee from this place with the others without alarming him.
2345
2346Venerable White had been very lucky up until now, and today was no exception.
2347
2348This afterimage that the Immortal with jet-black arms had left behind wasn't that powerful.
2349
2350The only task of this afterimage was to lock onto Cheng Lin's coordinates and keep an eye on her immortal cave. As for the combat aspect, the opposite party was an Immortal, and could directly pass through space and arrive at Cheng Lin's immortal cave at any time.
2351
2352However, this Immortal hadn't expected that its main body would be unable to immediately rush to the immortal cave after discovering Cheng Lin... and he also hadn't expected that the afterimage he had left behind would be destroyed this quickly.
2353
2354The dust settled down.
2355
2356However, Venerable White didn't immediately leave the place.
2357
2358Although that feeling of having his coordinates locked onto had disappeared, he wanted to confirm that the afterimage of that Immortal had been really destroyed. If the afterimage was still intact, there was a chance that—after getting rid of whatever was stopping it and coming over—that Immortal might get some useful information from it, locking onto their position again.
2359
2360They couldn't leave behind such a huge hidden danger.
2361
2362"I'll send you out first," Venerable White said to the various fellow daoists.
2363
2364"What about you, Senior White?" Northern River's Loose Cultivator asked.
2365
2366Venerable White replied, "I want to stay behind and make sure of something."
2367
2368However, just as Venerable White tried to use the power of space to send the various fellow daoists out, he suddenly stiffened.
2369
2370"Did the teleportation fail?" Song Shuhang asked.
2371
2372"Yes... I understand now. The space of this area is locked down," Venerable White said. "Perhaps this is the reason that Immortal was unable to reach this place through the power of space."
2373
2374If this was really the reason, he had to speed things up.
2375
2376If that Immortal was unable to reach this place through the power of space, he would teleport to the closest available place nearby Cheng Lin's ruins, and then barge into the ruins themselves.
2377
2378"We have to quickly leave this place," Venerable White said.
2379
2380While they were discussing, the radiance of the explosions finally died down...
2381
2382Then, the corner of Venerable White's mouth rose. "Thank God we didn't leave immediately!"
2383
2384The afterimage of that Immortal hadn't been destroyed completely, and half of his head and his left arm were still there.
2385
2386They couldn't leave these pieces behind!
2387
2388Venerable White immediately stretched out his hand, and made a hand seal. In the next moment, that ring of light appeared again.
2389
2390However, Venerable White didn't have any disposable flying sword he could use this time.
2391
2392Even though the monster willow was right beside him, he wouldn't be able to manufacture many disposable flying swords even if he were to break all her branches.
2393
2394Therefore, Venerable White jumped up, and threw himself into that ring of light.
2395
2396[Acceleration, Acceleration Lv.2, Super Acceleration, Reinforcement, Sharpness, Energy Doubling, Energy Doubling Lv.2, Lightning-Fast Flash, Storm Cut, Chain Bombardment, Flame Boost, Lightning Boost, Wind Boost, Spirit Boost, Split Chain Attack, Energy Discharge, Blazing Boost, etc...] The effects of more than a hundred supplementary magical techniques were applied to Senior White's body.
2397
2398The seven-colored light of a divine item resurfaced on Senior White's body.
2399
2400Heavens, this magical technique can be used like this as well? Song Shuhang opened his eyes wide.
2401
2402"I feel a little uncomfortable. Among those hundred-plus magical techniques, there are several that aren't suited to empower the human body, and they are clashing with each other. Next time, I must improve it a little," Venerable White said.
2403
2404In the next moment, he disappeared from where he was standing with a whizz.
2405
2406The next time he appeared, the seven-colored Venerable White was wielding his fists, and heading toward the remnants of the afterimage of that Immortal.
2407
2408The afterimage of that Immortal didn't have the strength to fight back anymore. Under the power of Venerable White's fists, its body was continuously destroyed. Each time Venerable White attacked, a part of his body would disappear.
2409
2410Since even a hundred of it would be unable to resist, the afterimage looked at Song Shuhang and the others.
2411
2412"Cheng Lin... you won't be able to escape. My main body will find you again and put you to death. In addition, do you really think you were able to overthrow the Heavenly City? You are too naive... as long as the Emperor is still alive, the Heavenly City won't die." After saying this much, a bright pearl emerged from the arm of the afterimage.
2413
2414The pearl had been hiding in his arm all along...
2415
2416The pearl was glistening, as dazzling as the stars in the night sky.
2417
2418The pearl was emitting powerful life force. This life force was huge, just like the blazing sun.
2419
2420"As long as the Imperial Pearl exists, the Emperor also exists! Did you see how huge the life force within is? The one that lost... is you, Cheng Lin!" The afterimage of the Immortal used its last bit of strength to laugh loudly. "Someday, the Heavenly Emperor will return and rebuild the Heavenly City. After coming back, he will be even stronger than before. At that time, no one will be able to defeat our Heavenly City!"
2421
2422Just as the Immortal was laughing, something unexpected happened...
2423
2424A large amount of the life force that was emanating from the Imperial Pearl suddenly disappeared.
2425
2426The life force was dissipating at a very fast pace, just like a star imploding!
2427
2428In the blink of an eye, more than half of the life force in the Imperial Pearl had disappeared.
2429
2430The smile of the afterimage of the Immortal stiffened.
2431
2432"How... How is this possible?!"
2433
2434Under his desperate gaze, the life force in the Imperial Pearl completely dissipated. The Imperial Pearl had turned into a very ordinary pearl, dim and gloomy.
2435
2436In the next moment...
2437
2438"Crack, crack, crack~"
2439
2440The Imperial Pearl broke.
2441
2442It thoroughly broke, turning into fine powder.
2443

2446Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
2447
2448
2449
2450How was that possible?!
2451
2452Why did the Imperial Pearl break? Just a moment ago, the life force inside was vast, just like the sun. Then, a few seconds later, all the life force within dispersed, and the Imperial Pearl broke into pieces.
2453
2454The afterimage of the Immortal moved its half remaining arm with all his strength, trying to reach the fragments of the Imperial Pearl. However, he didn't have have a hand anymore, so how was he supposed to grab the pieces of the Imperial Pearl?
2455
2456"..." Song Shuhang.
2457
2458It wasn't his fault, alright?
2459
2460Moreover, the fragments of the Imperial Pearl were bigger than the last time. After all, the pearl in the hands of those female guards in the Jade Lake Realm had directly transformed into fine powder.
2461
2462"Da... mmit!" the afterimage of the Immortal shouted, clearly unwilling to accept this outcome. A moment later, the afterimage was thoroughly destroyed under Venerable White's attacks.
2463
2464❄️❄️❄️
2465
2466At this time, outside Immortal Cheng Lin's ruins.
2467
2468That Immortal with jet-black arms was standing right outside the ruins... Actually, he had rushed here immediately after the trap he had left in the ruins activated.
2469
2470However, he was blocked, and was unable to enter the ruins.
2471
2472Blocking his way were several wriggling tenta— umh, no. Those were roots, not tentacles.
2473
2474Anyway, those long wriggling roots had completely wrapped around Cheng Lin's immortal cave, and even space had been blocked.
2475
2476Those unsettling roots were making him feel great danger.
2477
2478He had tried to attack them, but whether he was using sword qi, magical techniques, or innate skills, as long as the attack entered the range of the roots, the roots would wrap around it and make it disappear in no time.
2479
2480In the end, after getting impatient, the Immortal had tried to directly break through the blockade of the roots.
2481
2482But just as he got within range, those myriad roots stabbed into his body.
2483
2484The roots were immaterial, and no matter which method that Immortal covered in eyes used, he was unable to touch them. However, the roots could, on the other hand, stab into his body without problems.
2485
2486He was unable to attack the enemy, but the enemy could attack him effortlessly. These roots were something akin to a cheat-like existence.
2487
2488After the roots stabbed into his body, the Immortal covered in eyes discovered that the energy inside his body was being extracted like crazy... and the energy inside the body of an old and experienced Immortal like him was huge! Still, two breaths after the roots stabbed into his body, they had already absorbed around 10% of his energy!
2489
2490In other words, the roots would only need around 20 breaths to suck him dry.
2491
2492And 20 breaths weren't enough to break into Cheng Lin's ruins with the roots blocking his way...
2493
2494Thereupon, that Immortal covered in eyes could only retreat... After he had moved outside the area those roots were protecting, the roots shrank back.
2495
2496Afterward, countless roots swung left and right in front of him, showing off their might.
2497
2498Where the hell had these roots come from?
2499
2500Since the times of the ancient Heavenly City up until now, this Immortal whose arms were covered in eyes had never seen something so scary.
2501
2502Was this something Cheng Lin had left behind?
2503
2504But if she had this method at her disposal, why had she not used it back then? If she had used these roots alongside her other powers, that Immortal covered in eyes would have been the one to lose his head that day!
2505
2506Anyway, the Immortal covered in eyes could only unwillingly stand outside the ruins. He could clearly feel Cheng Lin's presence inside, but he was unable to take even a single step forward.
2507
2508Now then, how could he deal with these roots?
2509
2510Just as he was in deep thought, a certain piece of information was transmitted to his mind.
2511
2512The afterimage he had left in the ruins was destroyed.
2513
2514The fact that the afterimage was destroyed wasn't surprising. After all, given Cheng Lin's strength, it was an effortless task.
2515
2516The thing that shocked that Immortal covered in eyes was the piece of information that the afterimage had transmitted with the last bit of its strength.
2517
2518It was just a single sentence.
2519
2520[The life force in the Imperial Pearl dispersed... the pearl broke!]
2521
2522"Impossible!" All the eyes covering the arms of that Immortal opened at once. Then, each of those blood-red eyes glanced at the roots.
2523
2524He was planning to force his way through the roots.
2525
2526But, right at this time, the roots before his eyes quickly retreated, disappearing in the blink of an eye. He couldn't feel their presence anymore.
2527
2528But even if the roots had retreated, he was still unable to use the power of space in that area.
2529
2530The Immortal covered in eyes clenched his teeth in anger.
2531
2532In the next moment, the 'Immortal' aura around his body sharply rose as he barged into the ruins, directly smashing to pieces the formation that Venerable White had set up at the entrance of the immortal cave.
2533
2534❄️❄️❄️
2535
2536"The seal was broken... the main body of that Immortal is coming here!" Venerable White said in a grave tone. The main body of that Immortal had really found the time to come!
2537
2538While speaking, he tried, once more, to use the power of space to send the various fellow daoists outside the ruins, but the space around them was still sealed, and the teleportation failed.
2539
2540"Senior White, is the teleportation still not working?" Young Master Phoenix Slayer asked.
2541
2542"Let's make thorough preparations... we have no choice but to face that Immortal," Venerable White said with a nod.
2543
2544Young Master Phoenix Slayer faintly sighed... it was over. Among the fellow daoists on the scene, aside from Cheng Lin's reincarnation or newly reborn self, he was the one that would have it worst.
2545
2546A monster hunter that was also an Immortal would reach their position in a few seconds!
2547
2548"Seniors, relax and don't try to resist," Song Shuhang suddenly said at this time.
2549
2550Before the various fellow daoists could ask any questions, Song Shuhang gave a mental order to the nucleus. In the next moment, all the fellow daoists, Venerable White included, were moved to his Inner World.
2551
2552As expected... the fact that space was sealed didn't prevent him from moving the various fellow daoists to his Inner World. On the other hand, Song Shuhang's Inner World seemed even more efficient while in Cheng Lin's ruins.
2553
2554It was probably related to the main body of those roots hiding beneath the ruins. Perhaps there was really a 'lotus flower' hiding in the underground area of Cheng Lin's ruins!
2555
2556However, it wasn't the time to think about this matter. Song Shuhang gave another mental order, and tried to move himself to his Inner World.
2557
2558"Cheng Lin, don't even think about running away!" At this time, an angry howl was transmitted from afar. That Immortal with jet-black arms covered in eyes was rushing over.
2559
2560As the Immortal roared, one of the eyes on his arms opened, shooting out a ray that fell on Song Shuhang's body.
2561
2562Song Shuhang's trip to his Inner World was immediately interrupted!
2563
2564When that happened, Shuhang found himself in a rather weird situation.
2565
2566His body was hovering between illusion and reality, and was in a state of chaos.
2567
2568But strangely enough, when he moved the other fellow daoists to his Inner World, they were instantly teleported there.
2569
2570Actually, in the past, Song Shuhang never had the opportunity to 'look' at his body as he was entering his Inner World. Now, it seemed that the way he was moved to his Inner World was somewhat different from the others.
2571
2572His body wouldn't get instantly teleported to the Inner World, but would first assume this illusory and chaotic form, getting moved to the Inner World only afterward. The reason for this should be the fact that the nucleus was hiding in his Heart Aperture. As such, his teleportation process required a few extra steps.
2573
2574❄️❄️❄️
2575
2576After Song Shuhang's teleportation process was interrupted, that Immortal covered in eyes instantly arrived beside him.
2577
2578"I won't let you run, Cheng Lin!" The Immortal stretched out his hand to grab Song Shuhang's arm.
2579
2580A burst of sealing power was transmitted over, completely blocking the space around Song Shuhang's body.
2581
2582But after a short moment, that Immortal covered in eyes was dumbfounded.
2583
2584He stared at Song Shuhang, and made an effort to take his hand back. "Slow-Witted Song, why is it you? Where is Cheng Lin?!"
2585
2586Slow-Witted Song? Song Shuhang understood what had happened. Another person had mistaken him for this Slow-Witted Song. Back then in the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, Pavilion Master Chu also mistook him for Slow-Witted Song.
2587
2588"I don't know where Cheng Lin is," Song Shuhang replied. He was speaking the truth. He really had no idea where Cheng Lin was. He didn't even know for sure who Cheng Lin was right now.
2589
2590That Immortal covered in eyes said coldly, "You don't know? Hehe, Slow-Witted Song, as expected, you are trying to protect Cheng Lin... I already knew that you and Cheng Lin had a love affair."
2591
2592"With which eyes did you see this love affair between Cheng Lin and me?!" Song Shuhang retorted. At the same time, he tried to contact his Inner World in an attempt to teleport over there.
2593
2594"With all my eyes! All my eyes could tell that much. Back then, there was definitely an ambiguous relationship between you and Cheng Lin." While speaking, that Immortal glared at Song Shuhang with his two eyes, as well as with all the eyes on his arms.
2595
2596He didn't only have a pair of eyes; he had this many! Still not confessing your crimes?
2597
2598"I'm not trying to protect Cheng Lin," Song Shuhang said.
2599
2600"In that case, hand her over," that Immortal covered in eyes said coldly. "My target is Cheng Lin alone. Don't meddle in this matter."
2601
2602Song Shuhang shook his head, and said, "I don't know where Cheng Lin is." His Inner World was preparing to teleport him again. Although the sealing power of the Immortal had somehow affected his Inner World, it was unable to block it completely.
2603
2604"It seems you really want to protect Cheng Lin until the end... Such being the case, don't blame me for being merciless. Slow-Witted Song, others might be afraid of you, but I'm not!" After saying this much, the killing intent of that Immortal covered in eyes exploded.
2605
2606Then, he fearlessly made his move.
2607
2608If you want to make your move, just make it already. Why do you keep chatting with me?
2609
2610"Teleportation!" Song Shuhang shouted.
2611
2612After getting affected by the sealing power of this Immortal covered in eyes, the teleportation process of his Inner World had become much slower, and it screwed up at the critical moment...
2613
2614"Don't even think about escaping!" The right fist of that Immortal had already arrived in front of Song Shuhang's chest.
2615
2616If not for the fact that Song Shuhang was hovering between illusion and reality, just the shock wave the fist brought would have killed him a hundred times.
2617
2618But right at this time, a pure gold radiance exploded from his body.
2619
2620The virtuous lamia materialized, and gently embraced Song Shuhang, using her body to protect him.
2621
2622The fist of that Immortal covered in eyes stopped in his tracks.
2623
2624"@#%×, why are you here?" the Immortal covered in eyes said calmly.
2625
2626The virtuous lamia raised her head, and looked at that Immortal without blinking. That beauty mark beside the corner of her eye made her look even more attractive.
2627
2628@#%× was probably the name of that woman with the beauty mark.
2629
2630Song Shuhang discovered that her name was like a tongue-twister, and no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to pronounce it. It was probably a special pronunciation from some ancient language...
2631
2632"You... want to protect Slow-Witted Song?" One could feel the bitterness in the voice of that Immortal covered in eyes.
2633
2634September 2nd, 2019. An Immortal discovered that his heart was somewhat in pain.
2635
2636Chapter 922: It's like this... how about giving me some face?
2637
2638Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
2639
2640
2641
2642[There was something between my virtuous lamia and this guy!] Song Shuhang could feel it thanks to his keen senses. Actually, to be more precise, there was something between this Immortal and that woman with the beauty mark he'd met in the Jade Lake Realm!
2643
2644However, it was also pretty clear that that woman with the beauty mark, who had a strange concept of love, liked the Jade Lake Empress Cheng Lin—she liked her to the point that she agreed to protect the dried up Jade Lake in her stead after the fall of the Heavenly City.
2645
2646This was like a drama...
2647
2648The circle of relationships in the ancient Heavenly City was really complicated!
2649
2650❄️❄️❄️
2651
2652Other than that, couldn't that Immortal see that the virtuous lamia protecting his body was just materialized light of virtue, and not that 'woman with the beauty mark' in his memories?
2653
2654An Immortal shouldn't make this kind of mistake!
2655
2656After thinking up to this point, Song Shuhang was somewhat moved.
2657
2658Was it possible that the 'woman with the beauty mark' had a clone of some sort made of light of virtue?
2659
2660Or perhaps that woman was now living inside his light of virtue as a different type of life form?
2661
2662After recalling the fact that the virtuous lamia had casually run to Fairy Lychee's room some time ago, Song Shuhang felt that the second possibility was more likely.
2663
2664According to Song Shuhang's guess, Fairy Lychee was either Cheng Lin after reincarnating or Cheng Lin after coming back to life. That woman with the beauty mark called @#%× really liked Cheng Lin. Therefore, it was understandable why she had run to Fairy Lychee's room on her own initiative.
2665
2666"@#%×, get out of my way." That Immortal covered in eyes calmly gazed at the virtuous lamia, and then said in a grave tone, "The ancient Heavenly City was destroyed overnight because of Cheng Lin. I absolutely can't let her off. No matter who it is, if they prevent me from killing Cheng Lin, they are my enemies. And you... are no exception! Get out of my way!"
2667
2668The virtuous lamia kept looking at that Immortal covered in eyes with her bright eyes.
2669
2670Then, several breaths later, the body of the virtuous lamia suddenly disappeared!
2671
2672That Immortal covered in eyes inwardly rejoiced. His right hand, which was already ready to attack, immediately punched toward Song Shuhang. Slow-Witted Song, die!
2673
2674But just as he punched, Song Shuhang's body disappeared as well.
2675
2676The fist of that Immortal covered in eyes hit nothing but air.
2677
2678"..." The Immortal covered in eyes maintained his punching position, not moving in the slightest.
2679
2680He tried to use the power of space, but just as before, space was still sealed.
2681
2682This space seal wasn't affecting him alone; it was a global thing.
2683
2684But even under these circumstances, Slow-Witted Song had managed to use the power of space to leave the place! In the ancient Heavenly City, it was said that Slow-Witted Song's ability to escape was the number one in the world. Now, it seemed that that reputation wasn't unwarranted.
2685
2686After a long time...
2687
2688That Immortal covered in eyes silently took his fist back. Then, he slowly walked toward the place where his afterimage had been destroyed. There were some fragments lying on the ground.
2689
2690Those were the fragments of the broken Imperial Pearl.
2691
2692He squatted down a little, and stretched out his hand, picking up the fragments on the ground...
2693
2694The life force inside the Imperial Pearl had already disappeared, and at this time, these fragments were just the fragments of an ordinary pearl.
2695
2696The Immortal covered in eyes started to become restless.
2697
2698❄️❄️❄️
2699
2700But right at this time, not too far from him, tens of roots drilled out of the ground.
2701
2702Those were the same roots that were protecting Cheng Lin's ruins earlier!
2703
2704The Immortal covered in eyes furrowed his brows, and stretched out his hand, receiving all the fragments of the Imperial Pearl lying on the ground. Then, he vigilantly looked at the roots.
2705
2706After all, those things could suck him dry within 20 breaths. He couldn't let his guard down.
2707
2708A moment later, those roots entwined in midair, finally forming a seven-colored lotus flower.
2709
2710[A lotus flower!] That Immortal covered in eyes clenched his teeth. Lotuses were the flowers he hated the most. The Jade Lake Empress Cheng Lin would usually swagger around while stepping on lotus flowers. Since he didn't like Cheng Lin, he didn't like lotus flowers, either.
2711
2712But right at this time... that seven-colored lotus flower bloomed.
2713
2714A figure was sitting cross-legged inside this lotus flower.
2715
2716It was the figure of a man with a tall and slender build. He was wearing a pure white robe with a lifelike blue luan drawn on it. The sleeves of his clothing were relatively large, and the lower hem also very long.
2717
2718The man stood up, and looked at that Immortal covered in eyes with a smiling face.
2719
2720That Immortal covered in eyes said coldly, "Who are you?"
2721
2722"Nobody," the man said with a smile.
2723
2724"..." The immortal covered in eyes said, "What are you trying to achieve?"
2725
2726The strength of the opposite couldn't be underestimated, and that Immortal covered in eyes wasn't sure if he could defeat this man without finding a way to deal with those roots first. In addition, the opposite party was clearly on Cheng Lin's side.
2727
2728The man faintly smiled, and said, "It's like this... how about giving me some face and not looking into this matter related to Cheng Lin anymore?"
2729
2730Had this guy eaten the wrong medicine?
2731
2732The Immortal covered in eyes sneered. "I should give you face and not look into this matter related to Cheng Lin any longer? Ahaha."
2733
2734"From the looks of it, you don't intend to give me face, am I right?" The man didn't get angry, and kept wearing that perfect smile on his face.
2735
2736"Why should I give you face?" that Immortal covered in eyes said coldly.
2737
2738The man nodded his head.
2739
2740Then, he suddenly made his move, and used his palm to attack that Immortal covered in eyes!
2741
2742"Bah, he unexpectedly didn't give me face!" the man said.
2743
2744It was a very ordinary palm attack.
2745
2746But the Immortal covered in eyes felt as though the will of the entire universe was behind this palm!
2747
2748"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?" That Immortal covered in eyes raised both his hands, and the eyes on his arms opened. Then, all sorts of magical techniques and extraordinary skills crazily shot out of them!
2749
2750Each of those attacks released from the his eyes was enough to kill a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender and injure an Immortal!
2751
2752I have to take him down before he makes use of those strange roots! that Immortal covered in eyes thought to himself.
2753
2754But just as this thought flashed through his mind, everything before his eyes became black.
2755
2756He was knocked flying!
2757
2758All those attacks capable of killing Tribulation Transcenders and injuring Immortals became useless in front of the palm attack of that man.
2759
2760The remaining strength of the palm didn't decrease as it hit him in the face.
2761
2762One palm had been enough to knock him to the ground.
2763
2764That Immortal covered in eyes had an expression of disbelief on his face. His current strength could be considered high even amidst Immortals... and yet, he couldn't take on a single move of this man?
2765
2766Not even the Heavenly Emperor would be capable of such a feat!
2767
2768Just who was this man?!
2769
2770"Since you don't want to give me face, you'll stay in this small black room for a thousand years and reflect on your actions." On the lotus flower, that man calmly received his hand. Then, he took out a small magical treasure that resembled a room, which he aimed toward the Immortal covered in eyes.
