Song Shuhang chuckled. “Senior White, is there anything special about the box?
In the entire Southern Autumn Temple, only that box was able to catch Senior White’s attention?
It seemed that before the Southern Autumn Temple and the Ancient Heavenly City were separated, most of the former’s treasures were being carried by the Great Southern Emperor.. Or could it be that when the Southern Autumn Temple crashed down, most of its treasures ended up elsewhere?
Song Shuhang felt a little disappointed after finding out that there weren’t many treasures left in the Southern Autumn Temple. However, when he heard Senior White mention a box that touched upon the laws of time, his focus immediately locked onto what the function of the box might be.
Since the Ancient Heavenly City’s Heavenly Emperor was most proficient with temporal laws, could this treasure be related to the Heavenly Emperor?
“From what I’ve currently seen, it should be similar to your Time City, possessing ‘acceleration’ and ‘deceleration effects. The voice of Senior White’s clone sounded right beside Song Shuhang’s ears. “However, its size is relatively small. I used my divine sense to take a look at its interior, and I discovered that it should only be equivalent to the size of one of your Time City’s many rooms.”
That’s exactly what I needed! Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up
Song Shuhang excitedly asked, “Senior White, since it’s small, does that mean that its consumption is also relatively small?
“Naturally,” replied Senior White’s clone.
Song Shuhang quickly replied. “Senior White, that box is what we currently need. For the (Braised Heavenly Tribulation dish, after the Third Stage tribulation lightning is processed, it will need about a month’s time to cool down and solidify. Right now, that box is exactly what we need for the dish!”
Senior White’s clone asked, “Have you already dealt with the tribulation lightning? Song Shuhang replied, “Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue is getting ready to refine it in a pill furnace, and this is the final step. After that, it only needs to be cooled for one month in order to become a complete dish.” Senior White’s clone replied, “Alright, you finish refining the tribulation lightning. Meanwhile, Sixteen and I will study how to use this Time Box. When the time comes, you can directly place the tribulation lightning into the box and have it cool down for a month.”
Behind Sixteen, the White Dragon emerged. Afterward, she, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard, and Senior Turtle all gathered together around that Time Box. Then, the puppet maiden, Pavilion Master Chu’s consciousness, Fairy Creation, and the virtuous lamia followed. Finally, Lady Onion and Su Kongyun stood at the outermost ring,
“I’ve never seen this Time Box before,” said Senior Turtle. It had followed the Great Northern Emperor to the main hall of the Southern Autumn Temple several times in the past, but it had never once seen this box.
“Among the four great emperors, the Great Southern Emperor had the closest relationship with the Heavenly Emperor. Considering that, it isn’t unusual for him to have a temporal magical treasure in his palace’s main hall,” said the puppet maiden in her mechanical voice. This matter involved the Ancient Heavenly City, so even if she usually didn’t like to speak, she couldn’t help but interject this time.
The virtuous lamia circled around the Time Box, and then shook her head.
Fairy Creation circled around the box and shrugged.
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard said, “The temporal formation on the box is very similar to that of Song Shuhang’s Time City.” Senior White’s clone nodded. “It’s not only the formation, but also the law of time itself which is the same. They’re exactly the same as those of his Time City.”
“Correction, it’s my Time City.” Pavilion Master Chu’s voice came from afar. Although it was with the help of a treasure left behind by Slow-Witted Song, the Time City had been built by Pavilion Master Chu, so it wasn’t wrong for it to be considered hers.
Pavilion Master Chu’s voice sounded once again. “Lady Onion, can you lend me your body for a while? This Southern Autumn Temple has daoist patterns that hinder the scouring of one’s divine sense. In addition, transmitting my divine sense all the way to the main hall is quite energy-consuming.”
Lady Onion replied, “Sure!”
While staying in the Inner World, she would meet Pavilion Master Chu every time she watered the trees, so Lady Onion had long since been acquainted with her.
Lady Onion emptied her mind. She then transformed into her human form, acquiring a hot body, a green ponytail, and a tight-fitting cheongsam. “Lady Onion, you’re actually a Fifth Stage great monster?” Su Kongyun said in surprise. He thought that Lady Onion was only at the Third Stage Realm like he was, so it was completely outside of his expectations that the other party could transform like how great monsters could. This was the first time he had seen a great monster of the plant type, and he really wanted to touch Lady Onion’s onion sprouts
Lady Onion didn’t answer his question. Pavilion Master Chu, who was far away in the living spring, used a secret technique to have her consciousness descend and enter Lady Onion’s body. Lady Onion’s body was extremely pure. As long as
she did not resist, Pavilion Master Chu could assume complete control over her body in a short period of time through this secret technique.
This entire process was, in a way, similar to accepting a divine avatar into one’s body.
While Pavilion Master Chu was indeed taking control of Lady Onion’s body, this was actually not as bad for Lady Onion as one might think. Once Pavilion Master Chu left, Lady Onion’s body would be affected by the lingering divine sense and mental energy, causing her own mental energy and physique to be greatly enhanced. As such, this entire event was mutually beneficial.
And so, the possessed Lady Onion stepped forward and came to the edge of the small box.
Similar to Senior White’s clone, she squatted in front of the Time Box, and studied it carefully. After a long while, Pavilion Master Chu confirmed, “Indeed, it uses the exact same methods as the Time City. Even the aura of the laws is nearly the same. My Time City expanded to its current state due to the treasure left behind by Slow-Witted Song. The formation and technique that were used were both from the treasure personally produced by Slow-Witted Song.” “This box is the work of the Heavenly Emperor.” The puppet maiden reached out and pointed to the corner of the box. There, a small mark could be seen: the mark of the Heavenly Emperor.
“Th-this is the H-Heavenly Emperor’s work?” Su Kongyun stretched out his hand. “Can I touch it?”
“…Su Clan’s Sixteen
“Sure, but don’t open it,” said Senior White’s clone.
Su Kongyun carefully reached out and touched the box.
This was the most advanced item that he had ever touched in his life. This was something created by the great Heavenly Emperor!
Once he returned to the Su Clan, he could brag about today’s fortune for at least a year!
“Slow-Witted Song and the Heavenly Emperor used the same technique… Could there be some secret relationship between them?” Senior Turtle asked in confusion
“Who knows, Elder Sister White Dragon said with a cold smile.
After seeing the Heavenly Emperor resurrected as a woman a few months ago Elder Sister White Dragon couldn’t help but smile coldly when she heard about the two of them again.
“There should be more than one Heavenly Emperor, right?” Senior White’s clone said. He remembered that Immortal Master Copper Trigram had once sent something about the mysterious island in the group chat, mentioning the graves of the new and old Heavenly Emperor.
“If there was more than one Heavenly Emperor in the past, then it’s very likely that the Slow-Witted Song you speak of… might have been the Heavenly Emperor for a period of time.” Senior White’s clone made a bold guess.
Alternatively, with Slow-Witted Song and the Heavenly Emperor having used the same techniques and laws, could they have shared an inheritance?
