2541: The Secret Conversation of Two Fairies
Chapter 2541: The Secret Conversation of Two Fairies
"How can we coexist?" Su Clan's Sixteen asked.
Surprisingly, she had no intention of rejecting the proposal from this mysterious fairy, and in her heart, she accepted it quite naturally—both in a physical and figurative sense.
Her heart didn't resist this gentle and composed fairy. The steady heartbeat calmed Su Clan's Sixteen's state of mind.
"Coexisting in a physical sense," the fairy with a gentle demeanor gently released Pavilion Master Chu's hair and extended her hand towards Su Clan's Sixteen. "Would you like to sign another temporary contract?"
After a brief moment of contemplation, Su Clan's Sixteen replied, "Sure."
She reached out her palm, and her fingers interlocked with the slender fingers of the gentle fairy.
In the next instant, a rune of the contract lit up between Su Clan's Sixteen and the fairy's palms.
Song Shuhang, standing nearby, was drawn to the contract runes. Having signed two ghost spirit contracts before, he immediately recognized the significance of this rune.
In other words, Su Clan's Sixteen's recent momentary distraction was due to her communication with the ghost spirit and the subsequent contract signing?
"It's a temporary cooperation contract," Su Clan's Sixteen explained.
Song Shuhang raised an eyebrow, puzzled. "Temporary ghost spirit contracts? Even ghosts are freelancing now?"
The contract runes disappeared, solidifying the ghost spirit contract. Soon after, Su Clan's Sixteen observed as the gentle and composed fairy melded into her like a liquid, eventually finding its place within her heart.
Once the ghost spirit entered, the total amount of spiritual energy in Su Clan's Sixteen's body began to steadily increase. Following that, the various functions of the ghost spirit activated.
It assisted Su Clan's Sixteen in circulating the spiritual energy within her body, engaged in automatic cultivation, and refined the purity of her spiritual energy, elevating its quality.
More importantly, Su Clan's Sixteen was now connected to an even larger 'energy source through this quiet ghost fairy spirit.
She turned to look at Song Shuhang, who stood beside her, and realized that he was the source of this energy.
Just as she had suspected, this ghost fairy was connected to Song Shuhang.
It was her intuition that led her to agree to sign the contract with the ghost fairy.
"I'm not too pleased with this arrangement," the White Dragon grumbled. Su Clan's Sixteen's body had previously been solely occupied by her, but now, a ghost fairy spirit had been forcefully added to the mix. However, since it was a temporary contract, she had to tolerate it for the time being.
"Wait a moment," Song Shuhang finally sensed something amiss.
He felt a void within his body.
"A ghost spirit?" After a while, Song Shuhang was left dumbfounded. He quickly assessed the state of his body, finding a broken ghost spirit contract imprint from his first-generation ghost spirit, followed by a complete ghost spirit contract from his second ghost spirit fairy.
But at that moment, a small mark appeared on the ghost spirit contract left behind by the second ghost spirit fairy.
The ghost fairy spirit within him had disappeared.
However, the various functions of the ghost spirit remained intact. Whether it was the automatic AFK Farming cultivation technique, the refinement and purification of spiritual qi, or the storage of spiritual qi, they all continued to operate.
Even though the ghost spirit was no longer present, it still used its remote function to assist Song Shuhang in his cultivation.
Furthermore, through the ghost spirit's imprint, he discovered that he could now connect with another source of spiritual energy, which he soon realized belonged to Su Clan's Sixteen.
"My ghost spirit signed a temporary contract with Su Clan's Sixteen and entered her body?" Song Shuhang looked at Su Clan's Sixteen.
With the ghost fairy spirit serving as an intermediary, Song Shuhangs spiritual energy and Su Clan's Sixteen's spiritual energy could freely exchange and bolster each other's strength.
"Does the ghost fairy suddenly want to change homes?" Song Shuhang couldn't decide whether to laugh or sigh. Moreover, he had never heard of a ghost spirit that could sign a temporary contract with another person after already having a contract in place.
"She probably wants to spend some time with me," Su Clan's Sixteen speculated while placing her hand gently on her chest.
Pavilion Master Chu chimed in, "Perhaps it's a matter of the heart. Song
Shuhang, your ghost spirit can now reside within Sixteen's body."
"But why would she suddenly want to reside with Sixteen?" Song Shuhang asked, still perplexed.
"I'm not entirely sure," Pavilion Master Chu said as she adjusted her hair, which had shifted due to the White Dragon's movements. Song Shuhangs ghost fairy spirit posed numerous questions.
There was a gap in her memory—a blank region that was most likely related to Song Shuhangs ghost fairy spirit. This memory void was likely influenced by the Wielder's small black room.
Pavilion Master Chu considered the possibility that Song Shuhangs ghost fairy spirit might be connected to her. She carefully recollected the circumstances of her first encounter with Song Shuhang and realized that the blank portion of her memory constituted a significant part of the encounter.
For a brief moment, Pavilion Master Chu wondered if she actually had a daughter.
"Don't speculate any further. Just ask Sixteen about the ghost fairy," the White Dragon suggested.
With the ghost fairy spirit still present within Sixteen's body, there was no need to speculate. They could simply seek Sixteen's perspective.
"I'll attempt to communicate with her," Su Clan's Sixteen said in a subdued tone.
Her heart raced at the thought of the newfound connection between Song Shuhang's and her spiritual energy, almost akin to dual cultivation.
After taking a deep breath and calming her emotions, Su Clan's Sixteen initiated communication with the ghost fairy spirit.
"Can we converse, Ghost Fairy?" Sixteen inquired.
"Of course, anytime," the ghost spirit fairy replied, her voice carrying a hint of sobbing.
"l suddenly thought of something and was quite moved. I couldn't help but shed some tears," the ghost spirit fairy admitted. "It's been a while since I last cried. A little crying does wonders for a person's mood."
Su Clan's Sixteen was rendered speechless.
Truly, Shuhangs ghost spirit was one of a kind.
While Shuhang endured and triumphed over pain, this ghost fairy was content with a good cry.
"Do you have any questions for me?" the ghost spirit fairy inquired. Su Clan's Sixteen got straight to the point. "I have two experiments in mind."
"The experiments involve our connection," the ghost spirit fairy replied earnestly.
Su Clan's Sixteen looked puzzled. "What do you mean?" "Firstly, do you like Shuhang?" the ghost spirit fairy queried.
"Yes," Su Clan's Sixteen affirmed.
"Then, do you like me?" the ghost spirit fairy continued.
Su Clan's Sixteen was taken aback. "What?"
"You should know that I am Shuhangs ghost spirit. In a way, I am an extension of him. So, do you like me?" the ghost spirit fairy clarified with a chuckle.
Su Clan's Sixteen found herself at a loss for words..
2542: The Most Rogue Dao
Chapter 2542: The Most Rogue Dao
The ghost spirit fairy was truly a master of logic and left Su Clan's Sixteen baffled by her question.
The core of the matter was that what the ghost spirit fairy had said made perfect sense — the ghost spirit was the main body, and there was no distinction between the two.
However, in the entire cultivation world, were there any ghost spirits with an entirely independent personality like Song Shuhangs?
Typically, most ghost spirits, aside from being acknowledged as a cultivation shortcut, were essentially equivalent to clones in the cultivation world. They lacked an independent personality and existed in symbiosis with the main body.
In fact, as far as Su Clan's Sixteen was aware, most ghost spirits were devoid of gender, with only a minority of them altering their personalities to align with their master's form.
Seeing Su Clan's Sixteen's prolonged silence, the ghost spirit fairy smiled and remarked, "Indeed, we've just met. It would be quite audacious to discuss 'love' so soon."
Su Clan's Sixteen replied, "That's not the only issue."
"It's precisely because we have a plethora of issues to address that I' m here," the ghost fairy stated. "We'll be sharing our lives for a while. As for Shuhang, since he has the long-distance function, he can fend for himself temporarily." Su Clan's Sixteen was rendered speechless.
After concluding her conversation with the ghost fairy, Su Clan's Sixteen opened her eyes.
"How did it go?" Song Shuhang inquired. "Did you manage to glean any information?"
"She simply mentioned that she wanted to live with me for a while and conduct an experiment," Sixteen replied while shaking her head. The White Dragon asked, "What kind of experiment?"
"l don't know. She didn't specify," Su Clan's Sixteen replied.
"Did you discuss anything else?" The White Dragon inquired again. Given the extended conversation, surely they touched on other topics.
Su Clan's Sixteen's cheeks suddenly flushed. She used both hands to lift the White Dragon's body and covered half of her face with all her might.
The White Dragon was at a loss. What was her lady doing now?
"Fellow Daoist Scarf, I suggest a spell for you — the Hair Growth Spell," Pavilion Master Chu interiected. somewhat dazed.
"What?" The White Dragon was bewildered. "I'm not bald."
"Because you need the Hair Growth Spell to lengthen your dragon mane and enhance the warmth provided by your scarf," Pavilion Master Chu explained leisurely.
"My dragon mane isn't hair! Your hair grows on your neck!" The White Dragon retorted.
Pavilion Master Chu adopted a quizzical expression. "Your comprehension of the 'Hair Growth Technique' realm is rather shallow. Shuhang has modified and reinforced the 'Hair Growth Technique.' It can now be applied not only to himself but also to his adversaries. When the Hair Growth Technique is employed, the subject's entire body becomes covered in hair. With a single application of the Enhanced Hair Growth Technique, Fellow Daoist Wei can transform your White Dragon Scarf into a Furry Dragon Scarf."
The White Dragon was left speechless.
"Can't you possess a conventional magical technique for once?" She cast a disappointed gaze at Song Shuhang.
What sort of magical technique would remain unchanged in Song Shuhangs hands?
Even the Mutated Steel Hands were relatively normal.
Saber Intent Armor, Saber Nurturing Technique, Hair Growth Technique, City-level Lightning Palm… they were all strangely ruthless.
Song Shuhang was flabbergasted
As expected, the White Dragon was targeting him today and took every opportunity to jest at his expense!
"In actuality, I do possess some conventional spells," Song Shuhang stated.
"For example, the Lightning Attracting Technique and the 'Heavenly Roc Escape Technique' that I've recently mastered. If I visit the Black Dragon world, I can utilize the power of the dragon channel to invoke the 'Black
Dragon world's ten fundamental spells."'
The White Dragon rolled her eyes. Her dragon body turned completely white.
"Three thunders?"
Song Shuhang was rendered speechless.
The White Dragon was giving him a hard time again!
Although I'm proficient with the Karma Blade, utilizing it comes at a steep cost. I have yet to repay the debt I incurred after employing the Karma Blade to eliminate Senior Kun King. My Karma Blade is incredibly potent, but 1 must bear a considerable burden. How does that make me a hooligan?
Meanwhile, in the Xie Wangs lair.
The battle between Soft Feather and the Xie Wang had reached its final stage.
"Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, I'd like to try a sword technique. Can you assist me?" Soft Feather inquired cheerfully.
After enjoying herself to the fullest, she was now prepared to vanquish the evil before her.
"Is it a powerful move? Exercise caution and don't obliterate the Xie Wang like last time. At present, we haven't perfected the method of reviving them. If they perish, we'll lose a valuable asset," cautioned the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword.
"This isn't a direct sword technique, Senior, rest assured and cooperate with me," Soft Feather assured.
"Very well, 1 shall cooperate to the best of my ability. After all, I am the Scarlet Heaven Sword," the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword responded.
Soft Feather extended her hand, and the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword in her grasp produced two graceful sword flowers, driving the Xie Wang away.
Once they had created some distance, Soft Feather shifted to a two-handed grip on the sword. Peculiar energy fluctuations manifested around her.
"Is that time manipulation?" the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword wondered.
Since Soft Feather's ghost spirit had been taken over by the Heavenly Emperor, her main body had continually received information, understanding, and power from the Heavenly Emperor.
"It's a sword technique from the Celestial Thearch," Song Shuhang muttered softly.
Ever since Soft Feather's ghost spirit had been taken over by the Heavenly Emperor, Soft Feather's main body had been continuously receiving information, comprehension, and power from the Heavenly Emperor.
"It's the Celestial Thearch's sword technique. The Dao of Time is one of the Great Dao that the myriad worlds cannot afford to offend. Just like the Great Dao of Karma, it's completely unreasonable. If you offend someone who has mastered the Dao of Time and the Dao of Cause and Effect, you won't even know how you died if you're not careful. You're an extreme hooligan," the White Dragon quipped.
Song Shuhang was rendered speechless.
The White Dragon was teasing him once more!
Soft Feather retracted her sword gradually.
However, the Xie Wang remained unscathed. It stood there in a daze, unmoving.
"It's over!" Soft Feather declared confidently.
In the next moment, the Heart Demon Red Cloud Sword in her hand suddenly became limp, like a noodle.
Song Shuhang was puzzled. "Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, what's wrong?" "I've expended too much energy. I need to recuperate," the Heart Demon Red Cloud Sword replied weakly.
Soft Feather's earlier use of the 'Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique!
and the Time Burial sword technique had drained the sword's power significantly. Otherwise, Soft Feather's own spiritual energy wouldn't have sufficed to execute such potent techniques.
The Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword had depleted its stored energy and was temporarily incapable of exerting itself.
Boom!
Simultaneously, the Xie Wangs massive body slumped to the ground.
He had died due to 'time depletion,' his lifeforce severed, having met a natural demise.
"Impressive, Soft Feather," Song Shuhang praised enviously.
"Ah, it was nothing," Soft Feather replied with a giggle. She then waved at Song Shuhang. "Senior Song, come over here for a moment. This Xie Wang is quite peculiar.."
2543: The Cult of the Evil Pots
Chapter 2543: The Cult of the Evil Pots
Odd Xie Wang always intrigued Feather and made the grinding sessions all the more interesting.
But as they continued grinding, the Xie Wangs they encountered became increasingly peculiar, which raised some concerns.
Mutated Xie Wangs were not as common as cabbages, and they were only grinding a few malevolent beings within Wenzhou City. So why did they keep encountering mutated Xie Wangs repeatedly?
Senior White wasn't accompanying them on this journey.
Therefore, Feather couldn't shake the feeling that there was something hidden beneath the surface of this matter.
Things were getting more and more intriguing.
With a happy wave, Feather beckoned to Song Shuhang. The senior members in the group had spoken the truth—Senior Song possessed a unique constitution. If Su Clan's Sixteen had a passive 'kabedon' constitution, then Senior Song undoubtedly had an active 'absorb and withstand disasters' constitution.
Song Shuhang: "Blessed Everyone, I'll Fight If You're in Trouble."
It was precisely because of this unique constitution that when a disaster was about to strike, Senior Song would proactively bear the brunt of it due to the influence of his special constitution.
And when Senior Song faced disasters, he invariably stumbled upon many interesting occurrences.
This was a formula.
"That's wonderful," Feather said enviously. She also wished to possess Senior Songs physique. If she could be like Senior Song and have the ability to sense and absorb disasters, her life would undoubtedly be filled with excitement.
Song Shuhang was confused.
Why did he feel that Feather was regarding him with a peculiar gaze?
Lady Onion emerged from Song Shuhangs pocket and curiously inquired,
"What's so special about this malevolent being?"
"When I used the 'Time Burial' sword technique against this malevolent being, I severed a total of nine strands of its 'life.' This is also why the energy expended by the 'Time Burial' sword technique exceeded the budget of Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword and me." Feather shook the Heart Demon Scarlet
Heaven Sword in her hand, which was as pliable as noodles, and replied.
"Cut off nine strands of its life force? So, it revived eight times?" Song Shuhang asked.
This was astounding. It could instantly revive without worrying about the cost. Even Resurrection Coins couldn't achieve this…
Unfortunately, the Xie Wang had encountered Feather's unorthodox 'Time Burial' sword technique. It had been instantly revived eight times but perished in an instant nonetheless.
Reality proved that sometimes, quick resurrection was not a boon. The quicker they revived, the sooner they perished.
He needed to bear this in mind and take it as a lesson.
Feather shook her head and explained, "I don't think it was revived eight times. It feels more like… it possessed nine distinct individual 'life forces,' all existing concurrently. That's why I extinguished nine of its life forces in an instant."
"Nine distinct life forces existing simultaneously, yet interconnected? A Nine-lives Demon Cat?" Song Shuhang suggested subconsciously.
Pavilion Master Chu tugged on Song Shuhangs hair and made a cross. "No, it's more akin to a nine-headed snake. Each head possesses full life force. Regardless of which head is killed, the other eight heads remain brimming with vitality."
The White Dragon added, "In other words, this Xie Wang here is essentially one of the nine life forces. The other eight life forces might be concealed elsewhere?"
"Yes, yes, that's it," Feather affirmed.
She followed the clues and employed Time Burial to eliminate this life force and the other eight life forces located in various areas.
"The Great Dao of Time should not be provoked, should not be provoked!" Song Shuhang reiterated.
He now understood what the White Dragon had meant.
In the future, he believed he should maintain a better attitude when facing the Celestial Thearch. He shouldn't dismiss her terrifying side simply because she often acted cute.
If he angered the Celestial Thearch and she employed her true 'path of time' killer move against him, regardless of how many resurrection methods he possessed, he wouldn't be able to counter it.
"Malevolent beings that are artificially nurtured and capable of fusion; Xie
Wangs with an organization capable of sharing 'illusory reality'; and Xie Wangs with nine vitality heads scattered worldwide… since when did mutated Xie Wangs become so common?" The White Dragon pondered.
She had experienced the turbulent eras and evil times of the world.
In the past, while there were mutated Xie Wangs, their density was never this "So, I suspect someone is orchestrating this intentionally," Feather raised her hand and expressed her theory. "Given the signs of Xie Wangs being artificially nurtured, could it be that someone has been intentionally collecting mutated Xie Wangs, secretly plotting to use them for a conspiracy?" "Feather, your thoughts align with mine," Song Shuhang chuckled.
Su Clan's Sixteen contemplated for a moment and suggested, "Then, let's explore the nearby area and grind another batch of malevolent beings. We'll check for mutated malevolent beings among them and mark their locations for analysis. With real data, we can determine if someone is covertly scheming."
"First, let's retrieve the Malevolent Core," Song Shuhang agreed.
Simultaneously, he extended his right hand.
The Defiant Whale Glove opened at the fingertips.
"Wuvvuwu Q' The artifact spirit, Little Fairy, knelt on the back of the fist and saluted.
Song Shuhang pressed his finger against the malevolent beings body.
He activated the secret appraisal technique.
"I need information about the origin of this malevolent being. Was it placed here by someone or did it occur naturally?" Song Shuhang mused.
As his proficiency in the Secret Appraisal Technique increased, Song Shuhangs mastery of the technique grew deeper. It was no longer as uncontrollable as before, allowing him to execute minor operations.
After paying the price for the appraisal, a deep cut appeared on Song Shuhangs fingertip, and a droplet of blood emerged.
However, before the droplet could descend, the artifact spirit fairy had already rolled to Song Shuhangs fingertip and bitten it. Her body hung from Song Shuhangs finger as she consumed the droplet of blood.
Self-sufficiency.
He couldn't afford to waste a single drop of blood.
Concurrently, information about the secret appraisal technique materialized in Song Shuhangs mind.
[Unknown Mutated Xie Wang: A deformed Xie Wang with nine lives. Its remaining eight lives are dispersed throughout the world and have been extinguished. This ordinary Xie Wang underwent a natural mutation after accidentally devouring a disciple from the Demon Sect who came to exterminate it.]
"Eh?" It mutated after consuming a Demon Sect disciple sent to eliminate it?"
Based on the available information, it seemed like an accident.
Song Shuhang relayed this information to everyone.
Then, he turned to Eon Sea Scholar. "Prior to our discovery of Xie Wang here, were there any records of Devil Sect disciples coming to eradicate Xie Wang?"
"No," Eon Sea Scholar shook his head. "Perhaps, the Devil's Doctrine disciple had already perished before we discovered Xie Wang."
Song Shuhang, do you suspect that the Devil's Doctrine is behind this?" Su Clan's Sixteen inquired.
"It's just a tentative theory," Song Shuhang responded.
He bore grudges against the Devil's Doctrine, so it was only natural that he would cast suspicion in their direction, regardless of the situation.
Currently, they should proceed cautiously..
Chapter 2544: Encrypted
Chapter 2544: Encrypted
Soft Feather contemplated, "If it's really the Limitless Demon Sect causing trouble, what exactly are they up to? And why are they causing trouble specifically in Wenzhou City?"
Young Master Hai of the Limitless Demon Sect had interacted with Song Shuhang some time ago, so he was certainly aware of Song Shuhangs connection to 'Wenzhou City.'
Under these circumstances, were they still choosing to stir trouble in Wenzhou City?
Were they that headstrong?
Or perhaps, were they causing trouble all over the country, hence not avoiding Wenzhou City?
Su Clan's Sixteen replied, "The Limitless Demon Sect has a grand plan that they've prepared for a century, but we don't know the specifics."
"Fairy Six is already investigating this matter. I'll ask her if she has any inside information." Song Shuhang suddenly remembered something as he was speaking.
He reached into his pocket and retrieved a cell phone.
This was the phone of Demon Monarch Anzhi, one of the three pieces of
Young Master Hai r s set that he had acquired. Young Master Hai l s private number was stored in it.
"l wonder if Young Master Hai's private number has changed?" he wondered.
The last time Song Shuhang had called using this phone, Young Master Hai had still been quite resolute. Even though he knew that Demon Monarch Anzhi had fallen into Song Shuhangs hands, and even his phone had ended up with Tyrannical Song, he hadn't changed his phone.
While thinking, Song Shuhang retrieved Young Master Hai r s number and dialed it.
"Don't disappoint me, Young Master Hai."
Unfortunately… After all, there were very few individuals in the world as resolute as Song Shuhang.
Young Master Hai's previous private number had been deactivated.
With Young Master Hai r s personality and intelligence, he had decisively abandoned his original number once he confirmed there was no chance to save Demon Monarch Anzhi. Keeping his private number was pointless and would only subject him to Tyrannical Songs repeated harassment.
"Young Master Hai r s audacity has waned," Song Shuhang lamented. After saying this, he tossed the phone back into his pocket.
Back when Young Master Hai was only at the Fourth Stage Realm, he had dared to provoke the Spirit River Su Clan, a colossus, and directly provoked Su Clan's Seven, who was the strongest at the Fifth Stage Realm. At that time, Young Master Hai r s aura had soared to the heavens, as if he wanted to trample the world underfoot. In his eyes, everything in the world was just a pawn. Now, he didn't even dare to answer a phone call—his spirit had been broken!
Pavilion Master Chu was dumbfounded.
Don't you know why Young Master Hai!s audacity has waned?
"Wait, I almost forgot." When Song Shuhang tossed the phone back into his pocket, he suddenly had a thought.
Why did he need to call Young Master Hai?
Demon Monarch Anzhi, one of the three pieces, was still locked up in his Inner World!
Demon Monarch Anzhi might not know as much about the Limitless Demon Sect's plans as Young Master Hai, but he definitely knew a lot of insider information.
More importantly, besides Demon Monarch Anzhi, Song Shuhang also had Young Master Hai r s incarnation with a heart demon!
It was the incarnation that Song Shuhang had forced out of his inner demon.
Last time, Song Shuhang had used the function of the fragment of the Heavenly City-Cave of the Inner Demon to extract more than half of the inner demon from this incarnation and turned it into 'Inner Demon Sashimi.' He had then exchanged it with Shadow Overlord for the magical treasure of the 'Holy Land of Shadow.'
The inner demon within this incarnation had the potential to grow. It could mature like a leek after each harvest. Therefore, Song Shuhang hadn't killed it but kept it and carefully nurtured it. He wanted to wait for the inner demon to grow stronger and harvest it again and again.
Now, Demon Monarch Anzhi and Young Master Hai' s incarnations came in handy.
Song Shuhang extended his hand and opened his Inner World.
The core assistant thoughtfully packaged Young Master Hai r s incarnation and Demon Monarch Anzhi together.
Demon Monarch Anzhi's body had become much leaner. After failing to transcend the tribulation, his injuries weren't shallow. Additionally, the core assistant had been intentionally controlling his injuries to prevent him from having a chance to recover.
Therefore, how could he know that recently, Demon Monarch Anzhi had become thinner, which made people feel sorry for him?
Young Master Hai r s incarnation remained unconscious, and his mind was still in turmoil. After not seeing him for a while, the inner demons within this incarnation had partially recovered.
Young Master Hai had completely abandoned this clone and even used a secret technique to sever the connection.
Song Shuhang wondered if he could awaken it and extract some information from it.
The weakened Demon Monarch Anzhi opened his eyes and found that he had finally escaped the 'Immortal Sealing Jail' that had filled him with despair. The 'Immortal Sealing Jail' obtained from Zither Master Fengyi was meant to imprison Tribulation Transcenders and could even temporarily trap Immortals.
The Immortal Sealing Prison had thousands of methods of immobilization, including physical and mental suppression.
When Demon Monarch Anzhi was imprisoned within it, his body and mind were under tremendous pressure all day long, and he was on the verge of collapse.
"Are you awake?" At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
Demon Monarch Anzhi turned his head and saw a terrifying figure standing with his back to him, hands behind his back.
"Tyrannical Song Senior…" Demon Monarch Anzhi's heart trembled upon seeing Song Shuhang. Then, after a moment of thought, he straightforwardly said, "Senior, if you have any questions, just ask."
As a disciple of the Demon Sect, he didn't have high moral integrity.
He who understands the times is a wise man.
"Senior Tyrannical Song, please don't imprison me in that terrifying prison…" Demon Monarch Anzhi weakly pleaded.
Song Shuhang wore a mask and turned around. "If I'm satisfied with your answer, I can transfer you to another location for imprisonment."
"Senior Tyrannical Song, please ask me a question. As long as I know it, I'll tell you everything I know." Demon Monarch Anzhi sat up.
Song Shuhang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "What plans do you have in Wenzhou City? What's the purpose of raising Xie Wang? Why is the Limitless Demon Sect recruiting so many rogue cultivators?"
Demon Monarch Anzhi's weakened body trembled slightly. The world has changed this much?"
How could it change so fast? He had just transcended the Fifth Stage tribulation not long ago.
According to the internal calculations of the Limitless Demon Sect, the current Heavenly Axiom shouldn't have collapsed so soon. It should have taken several decades or even a hundred years, right?
"The world has indeed changed, but it's not because of me. I didn't do anything," Song Shuhang replied subconsciously, but he couldn't hide the guilt in his tone.
Demon Monarch Anzhi was speechless.
Was the world's metamorphosis brought forward was because of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song?
"It seems like you know quite a lot. Tell me everything you know." Song Shuhang coughed lightly and stood with his hands behind his back to give Demon Monarch Anzhi a sense of oppression.
"l don't know what special plans the Limitless Demon Sect has in Wenzhou City… This might have happened after I failed my tribulation. We've been conducting experiments on raising Xie Wang in secret. We're waiting for the world to change so that we can grasp a large amount of Xie Wangs power as soon as possible. Recruiting itinerant cultivators is also a part of the experiment to raise Xie Wang." Demon Monarch Anzhi replied.
His answer basically confirmed Song Shuhang and the others' previous guesses.
Su Clan's Sixteen spoke up. "What do you want to do after mastering this?"
"Use the power of Xie Wang to open the Demon Country. It would trigger the Tribulation Transcenders' disaster and constructed the Demon Sect's country… Ah…" Demon Monarch Anzhi hadn't finished speaking when his entire head exploded.
This was a kind of imprisonment method hidden deep in Demon Monarch
Anzhi's head. Once he revealed some secret, it would trigger this imprisonment method and trigger an explosion.
Demon Monarch Anzhi himself didn't even know about this sealing technique in his body!
The Biography of Song Tiandao" Draft
Chapter 2545: "The Biography of Song Tiandao" Draft
Most of the disciples in the demonic sect were wise individuals who understood the current situation and knew when to yield. So, when certain disciples came into contact with the sect's most significant secrets, it was standard procedure to implant some anti-theft techniques in the disciples' minds.
This was precisely why when Demon Monarch Anzhi mentioned the
'challenges faced by the transcendent immortals' and the plan to 'establish a demonic sect nation,' things took a turn for the worse.
Blood and brain matter exploded to create a gruesome scene that wasn't suitable for children and needed to be censored.
Song Shuhang extended his hand and, with invisible telekinesis, controlled the blood and plasma of Demon Monarch Anzhi, suspended it in the air, forcing them back into Demon Monarch Anzhi's head, restoring them to their original position.
This telekinetic feat was quite impressive.
Invisible telekinesis was indeed ideal for cultivators like Song Shuhang, who didn't have the time to master complex magical techniques.
However, as impressive as his actions were, they couldn't prevent Demon Monarch Anzhi's demise.
Not every cultivator had the luxury of having multiple resurrection formations like Song Shuhang. Even with a resurrection array and a magical weapon, there was still a chance of failure. Resurrection wasn't a guaranteed success.
Demon Monarch Anzhi's lifeless body fell to the ground.
Song Shuhang sighed.
[Three-piece grand gift set-I]
This was the gift he had prepared for Su Clan's Sixteen during the New Year.
Now that Demon Monarch Anzhi was gone, the three-piece gift set was
incomplete.
This debt would have to be settled with the Limitless Demon Sect.
"It's a shame that Senior White's 'divine lamp' can only hold one lamp spirit. Otherwise, we might have been able to trap Demon Monarch Anzhi's soul in the lamp and transform it into a lamp spirit," Song Shuhang lamented.
Demon Monarch Anzhi, Zheng Neng, and Young Master Hai. If he could imprison all three of them in a divine lamp and turn them into lamp spirits for Su Clan's Sixteen to utilize, it would be a decent idea.
"Do you want to imprison this guy's soul?" Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet inquired.
"Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, do you have a method?" Song Shuhang asked.
"Absolutely. My primary function is to restrain sealed objects. As long as you can provide sufficient spiritual energy, I can even suppress Immortals' souls! A mere demonic sect disciple's soul near Rank-5 strength is child's play for me," Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet boasted.
"As expected of my tombstone. Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, your abilities are extraordinary!" Song Shuhang exclaimed and summoned the stone tablet.
Whoosh! Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet's form expanded.
The inscription 'Song Shuhangs tomb' on it started to radiate light.
"Tomorrow, I'll ask my master Bai Youyou to change 'Song Shuhangs name to 'Tyrannical Song.' Tyrannical Song is quite renowned." As the stone tablet spoke, it pressed down on Demon Monarch Anzhi's lifeless body.
Demon Monarch Anzhi's head had been obliterated. Even his soul had been damaged by this deadly spell.
Given the Devil's Doctrine's secretive nature, they were thorough in their actions. Not only did they dispose of his body, but they also targeted his soul. The cultivation world had various methods for interrogating souls!
Demon Monarch Anzhi's soul was fragmented and rapidly dissipating. Under these conditions, even a Profound Sage-level expert would struggle to protect his soul.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, however, was an exception. Despite being at the Ninth Stage Realm, it was a unique magical treasure that was closest to a Dao weapon. It had been created before Heavenly Dao had taken shape.
After pressing down, Demon Monarch Anzhi's fragmented soul was contained and sealed within the pattern at the base of the stone tablet.
In the future, when Song Shuhang obtained a magical treasure akin to the Ten Thousand Demons Banner or the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner, he could consider transferring Demon Monarch Anzhi's soul.
The rapid sequence of events left Eon Sea Scholar and Daoist Nun Miao Qing astounded.
In particular, the stone tablet magical treasure turned out to be the tombstone Senior Tyrannical Song had prepared for himself?
"I didn't anticipate that someone as formidable as Senior Tyrannical Song, who had resolved to contend with the Heavenly Dao and verify the path to immortality, would be prepared to die!"
"In the pursuit of the path to immortality, one must confront a formidable adversary at each step! Each step might lead to death, so Senior Tyrannical Song prepared his tombstone! "
"Yet, even in the face of the possibility of death, Senior Tyrannical Song refused to surrender. That's Senior Tyrannical Song!'
Numerous thoughts raced through Eon Sea Scholar's mind.
He discreetly recorded these thoughts and decided that he would later publicize the touching tale of Senior Tyrannical Song preparing his tombstone before challenging the Heavenly Dao.
If, in the future, Senior Tyrannical Song truly achieved immortality, this story could be incorporated into Song Tiandao!s biography.
Hmm, he might contemplate drafting a preliminary version of Song Tiandao's Biography.
"Well done, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet!" Song Shuhang praised and took the stone tablet. Subsequently, he discreetly performed the Saber Nurturing Technique twelve times.
After all, the Saber Nurturing Technique was easily misconstrued as an evil technique. Therefore, Song Shuhang had to secretly practice it to avoid any misunderstandings in front of Eon Sea Scholar and Daoist Nun Miao Qing.
Next, Song Shuhang extended his hand and touched the pattern on the stone tablet.
Demon Monarch Anzhi's soul was released.
However, Demon Monarch Anzhi's soul appeared bewildered, and his gaze was vacant.
Song Shuhang tried to inquire, "What does the Tribulation Transcender's
Tribulation signify? Also, what was the extent of the country that the
Limitless Demon Sect intended to establish, and in what form?"
"The world has undergone immense changes, and malevolence has sprouted… Gong… The Sea, the Devil Nation, the Tribulation Transcenders must endure myriad tribulations," Demon Monarch Anzhi robotically responded with fragmented words.
Regarding the Devil's Doctrine's nation, his soul had ceased to function long ago and rendered him mute.
Pavilion Master Chu suggested, "This guy's soul is significantly damaged. Shuhang, if you have time, try feeding him some spring water from the living
spring. It might help restore his soul."
"It would be a shame to waste the living spring upstream on him. I'll obtain some living spring water downstream for him to try later," Song Shuhang agreed.
"Isn't the downstream the bathwater from Pavilion Master Chu's main body?" The White Dragon chuckled and quipped, "Shuhang, the living spring water downstream will likely be even more precious. You should think it over. After all, Chu her original body isn't just a head anymore. It's about to grow to her waist."
Pavilion Master Chu was left flabbergasted.
"Unbeknownst to us, Senior Chu has transformed into more than just a beauty." Song Shuhang scratched his head and commented.
"Pa Pavilion Master Chu slapped Song Shuhangs hand. "Don't touch me."
Then, Pavilion Master Chu pondered, "According to this little guy from the demonic sect's response, it seems that the Tribulation Transcenders are destined to face numerous tribulations. Could it be that the Limitless Demon Sect plans to take on a Tribulation Transcender?"
"Perhaps they have even grander ambitions? If they aim to establish a Devil's Doctrine nation, one Tribulation Transcender might not suffice. Is it possible that the Limitless Demon Sect has its sights set on a multitude of Tribulation Transcenders?" Song Shuhang followed Pavilion Master Chu's line of thought and speculated.
The Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword swayed in Soft Feather's hand. "There's another possibility. They might want to exploit the world's immense changes to trigger some sort of world law. Then, through this law and the world's transformations, they intend to incite a calamity at the level of a
Tribulation Transcender.'
"Right, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword. Just now, someone contacted me from afar and advised me to avoid using the term 'world's immense changes.' Instead, they suggested using 'civilization."' Soft Feather shared this information.
The sword was confused..
