Chapter 1635: Two ideas to try out
When Song Shuhang received the information that the other party’s sense of existence had been erased, he subconsciously thought of the Wielder’s small black room. When it came to erasing one’s existence, the only thing he knew could do such a thing was that small black room.
But after giving it some more consideration, he found something amiss.
If it really were the Wielder’s small black room, then these steel fish and their lair should have completely forgotten about the existence of their ‘princess’. Meaning that they should have ended up forever ‘collecting energy’ until they were destroyed.
However, these steel fish still had some information about their princess, and they still remembered that she had long hair.
As such… their princess might have met with some other accident.
There was also a possibility… that she was already dead.
In short, the princess had never returned, and with the time that had passed already being far too long, the steel fish and the lair were unable to keep track.
Therefore, when they saw Song Shuhang’s steel manifestation, they could only describe it as ‘having always waited for her return’.
But then, Song Shuhang had another doubt.
If the steel fish and the lair had been planted by the ‘princess’ as seeds a long, long time ago.
With the time being too long, too long to even be kept track of.
Then how was it that the steel fish and their lair were only able to gather so much ‘energy’? In the end, the ‘sun boat’ would only be able to last for less than 20 days.
The energy collected by the steel fish should definitely not be so meager… With that said, where was the energy they previously gathered?
In addition, Song Shuhang had a clue that was related to them.
Previously, he had received a mission through his ‘magical power top-up device: [Jiou Eryu defeated, his mission qualifications have been transferred].
At the end of the mission prompt, Song Shuhang was told to pay attention to the remote-controlled magical treasure group that recently appeared around the Black Dragon World.
In other words, these steel fish and the lair had appeared around the Black Dragon World not that long ago.
Before that… where had they been?
“Speaking of which, the mission prompt should have activated after three days, right?” Song Shuhang reached out, took out his magical power top-up device, and opened the interface.
Giving it a check, he found that the mission had been changed.
[The remote-controlled magical treasure group has disappeared. The mission has been replaced. Please purify any 10 evil beasts or zombies. The reward for this is 1000 units of magical power flow.]
Song Shuhang said, “This Dragon Network of the Black Dragon World is quite interesting.”
The Dragon Network was obviously not rigid; it had its own set of rules and calculation methods, and it would change the missions it had issued by itself as changes occurred in the outside world.
Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “Oh yeah, your steel manifestation has been in that little sun all this time, right? Is it alright?”
Song Shuhang said, “It can benefit from staying in the sun boat, so I’d naturally let it continue to stay there.”
The sun boat was the area prepared for the princess’ seclusion, and it was something that was meant to help her advance her realm.
While the steel manifestation was in the sun boat, Song Shuhang could feel that it was constantly being strengthened.
At the same time, the sun boat also had an effect similar to that of an ‘enlightenment stone’.
This effect, through the steel manifestation, could be fed back all the way to Song Shuhang’s main body.
Now, Song Shuhang was acquiring an increasingly deeper understanding of the ‘Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique’, with his understanding being strengthened and enhanced every minute.
At the same time, his saber intent was similarly experiencing changes, and he was gaining a clearer and clearer idea of what it was to be. This was the time for it to make a breakthrough.
In addition, his own ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ and various cultivation techniques, magical techniques, and martial arts comprehension were rapidly improving.
He was even gaining inspiration regarding how to go with completing his small golden cores one by one.
It was indeed a ceremony that could help an Eighth Stage cultivator ascend to the Ninth Stage.
Song Shuhang was in utter admiration.
The longer the steel manifestation stayed in the ‘sun boat’, the more benefits Song Shuhang’s main body would be able to receive.
Song Shuhang said, “I don’t mind if it stays in the sun boat. Anyway, the longer it stays there, the better. It can experience improvements, and the same goes for me.”
Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “Aren’t you worried that you won’t be able to suppress your realm, and end up forced to transcend the tribulation?”
Song Shuhang replied, “Senior, my life-bound whale core still does not have a Golden Core Composition.”
For a Fifth Stage cultivator to ascend to the Sixth Stage, the most important thing was the Golden Core Composition + the Finishing Touch.
Song Shuhang’s life-bound whale core was currently blank. As long as he hadn’t begun painting on it, theoretically speaking, he had no need to be afraid of being unable to suppress his realm and being forced to transcend the tribulation.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Through this ‘sun boat ceremony’, Song Shuhang would have a clearer understanding of himself and his own cultivation.
This gave him better chances for his future tribulations.
❄️❄️❄️
At this time, under the attic, the Dragon Blood Tribe’s old tribal chief and Lady Kunna had come.
The two immediately saw Song Shuhang on the attic’s balcony.
Lady Kunna smiled, and said, “Mr. Shuhang, you’re awake?”
The old tribal chief said, “Ah~ Mr. Shuhang, you’ve finally woken up. You were unconscious for three days. Now that you’ve woken up, I can finally let out a breath of relief.”
Speaking of it, back when he saw the hybrid being taken away by the enemy, he fainted from shock. After waking up, he heard that it was only a ‘magical technique clone’ of Mr. Shuhang that had been taken away, and his real body had only passed out. With that, he was able to let out a breath of relief… and then ate three bowls of rice with a peace of mind.
“Mm-hm, I’ve worried you all,” Song Shuhang said and smiled. He jumped straight down from the balcony, and then landed with a thud.
After becoming a cultivator, Song Shuhang had developed the habit of not going through the door. When heading downstairs, he would jump out the window if there was a window, or jump down from the balcony if there was a balcony. With his current physique, he could jump down several dozen floors without a problem.
When he landed, his face paled.
He stretched his hand to his waist.
There, a burning pain was throbbing, and there was also a burning pain at his back.
It was the wounds that had been caused by the spear of that ‘Ancient Nether primordial chaos will—they had still not recovered.
The old tribal chief bitterly said, “Apologies, Mr. Shuhang. We have tried our best, but we aren’t able to heal your wounds.”
When Shuhang was unconscious, they tried many ways to heal his wounds. Even the great figures of the temple were invited, but his wounds were simply too domineering, and they were unable to heal them at all.
They could only temporarily suppress Song Shuhang’s wounds with drugs to reduce the pain.
“It’s fine, I understand these wounds myself. I’ll deal with them myself.” Song Shuhang grimaced.
This bit of pain… After some time, he should be able to get used to it.
“By the way, Lady Kunna, Chief. Were you able to catch any ‘evil beasts’ or the ‘zombies’ alive?” Song Shuhang asked—he had two ideas that he wanted to try out.
“Yes, we deliberately captured a batch of them this time.” The old tribal chief nodded quickly.
He learned from Lady Kunna that Mr. Shuhang wanted to get a batch of ‘black dragon spirit stones’.
For the practitioners of the Black Dragon World, the ‘black dragon spirit stones’ could be absorbed the best right after harvesting them.
Therefore, when cleaning up the ‘evil beasts’ and ‘zombies’ at that time, the old tribal chief deliberately captured a group of them alive.
The old tribal chief smiled, and said, “I’ll bring Mr. Shuhang over.”
Song Shuhang said, “Thank you.”
The old tribal chief said, “Mr. Shuhang, there’s no need to be polite. You saved the entire Dragon Blood Tribe. We truly do not know how to make it up to you. Alright, please follow me.”
❄️❄️❄️
In a temporary animal shed in the Dragon Blood Tribe, a group of evil beasts and zombies were sealed and kept inside. There were exactly 20 of them.
The old tribal chief embarrassedly said, “This is the maximum number we can control.”
Song Shuhang said, “It’s already enough.”
He stepped into the animal shed.
The evil beasts and zombies were sealed and could not move.
When they saw Song Shuhang, they seemed to have smelled the blood of a living being, and began roaring frantically.
The evil beasts and zombies that hadn’t been sacrificed at that time were all of a relatively low level, and they had nearly no intellect.
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and waved, the Tyrant Cuttlefish’s twin blades appeared in his hands.
The two blades slashed across, and the evil beast in front of him was chopped into neat sections.
After the evil beast died, it turned to ashes, leaving only one ‘black dragon spirit stone’.
Song Shuhang picked up the spirit stone, and stored it in his magical bracelet. This black dragon spirit stone was reserved for Li Yinzhu to use to activate her ‘magical power top-up machine’.
Then, Song Shuhang put away the twin blades.
When he willed it, the virtuous lamia appeared behind him.
During the three days, Fairy @#%× had already recovered.
Song Shuhang said, “Fairy, cooperate with me.”
Fairy ＠#％× nodded solemnly.
Song Shuhang put his palms together.
After that, Fairy ＠#％× recited, “What is love!”
“No, not that.” Song Shuhang hurriedly called to a halt. “I want to try the ‘Soul Ferrying Technique’ to see if it works.”
Fairy ＠#％× turned her head. “Cut.”
“…” Song Shuhang.
“Again.” Song Shuhang clasped his palms together, muttered the ❮Ksitigarbha’s Soul Ferrying Scripture❯ silently in his mind, and finally reached out and pointed at the evil beasts in front of him.
The virtuous lamia cooperated with him, clasped her hands together, and pointed.
The mighty light of virtue shone brightly.
The law of transcendence fell on all evil beasts and zombies.
The evil beasts and the zombies roared again and again, showing great pain. However… they could not be ferried.
“It failed?” Song Shuhang squeezed his chin.
Or was there something wrong with the way he went about it?
These evil beasts and zombies should all belong to the ranks of ‘undead’, so shouldn’t it be possible for them to be ferried?
“Song~ Stupid~ Yiyiya.” Fairy Creation came out.
It was unknown when she returned to Song Shuhang from Li Yinzhu’s body.
Song Shuhang curiously asked, “Does Fairy Creation have a clue?”
Fairy Creation nodded. She reached out and took the Tyrant Cuttlefish’s twin blades from Song Shuhang before floating in front of a zombie.
Then, she wielded the Tyrant Cuttlefish’s twin blades, and stabbed the zombie 10 times in a row.
The zombie’s body fell apart, and was on the verge of turning into ashes and becoming a black dragon spirit stone.
Song Shuhang understood and pointed at the zombie.
The Soul Ferrying Technique fell on this zombie.
The aura of purification lit up, and there was the faint sound of Buddhist chanting that could be heard.
The zombie had been successfully purified.
Afterward, a generous amount of power of virtue that surprised Song Shuhang fell on Fairy @#%×.
