Chapter 1041: Shuhang, lend me a hand!
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
When all the pract.i.tioners in the universe discovered that big nuclear bomb within the sea of heavenly tribulation, their faces drastically changed.
s.h.i.+et, is that a nuclear bomb?
But isn’t it a bit too big?
Before the pract.i.tioners all over the universe could even react, the thing actually exploded.
One thing to note was that this nuclear bomb heavenly tribulation wasn’t the same as the one Song Shuhang and the others had faced. For Song Shuhang and the others, the hydrogen bomb made of heavenly tribulation had been dropped by a plane, but when it came to the second wave of Senior White’s heavenly tribulation, the nuclear bomb detonated directly.
There was no room for preparation at all; the explosion expanded especially quick.
In the next moment, the frame of Daoist Priest Horizon’s ‘Profound Sage Speech’ went all red. Besides the heat and the explosion, nothing else could be seen.
Daoist Priest Horizon, who was still in ‘Profound Sage Speech’ mode, remained fine. Although he was still in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, he wasn’t affected by the heavenly tribulation at all.
Nevertheless, his heart still succ.u.mbed to panic.
❄️❄️❄️
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
The fellow daoists in the group all swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Was that really a nuclear bomb? Moreover, it was so big…
“I don’t know why, but I suddenly want to pray for Senior Xian Gong. I hope he’s fine,” Young Master Phoenix Slayer said.
Wandering Monk Profound Principle: “?️”
Medicine Master explained the message above: “?️ Hopefully, Senior Xiang Gong is alright, pray for him.”
Fairy Lychee: “?️ Pray for Senior Xian Gong +1.”
True Monarch Northern River: “?️ Pray for Senior Xian Gong +2.”
The group was flooded with messages.
True Monarch Yellow Mountain faintly sighed. Your candles don’t seem to be meant for well-wishes… Doesn’t it seem like you’re mourning for Scholar Xian Gong instead?
Fortunately, Scholar Xian Gong was still closed up. Otherwise, how stifled would his heart get if he were to see the chat history?
❄️❄️❄️
After the explosion of the big nuclear bomb, the heat and the explosion lingered in the live broadcast’s frame for nearly 10 minutes.
They were watching the scene through the frame of the ‘Profound Sage Speech’, but all the pract.i.tioners in the universe still felt a chill in their hearts.
Then, they asked themselves a question: when the time came for them to transcend their heavenly tribulation, would they be able to get through it if they met a nuclear bomb such as this?
“Will that white-robed Venerable be able to live through the explosion?”
The handsome white-robed Venerable was extremely powerful. In the previous wave of 10,000 guided missiles, he didn’t break a sweat at all. Moreover, he had actually used the opportunity to seal up and collect a lot of guided missiles.
But, facing such a big nuclear bomb, would he be able to hold on?
The heat from the explosion gradually dispersed…
The huge sea of tribulation lightning had dispersed… It seemed that the entire power of the heavenly tribulation in the sea of lightning was concentrated within that single ‘super nuclear bomb’.
The frame of the Profound Sage Speech gradually cleared up.
Daoist Priest Horizon’s speech was finally concluding as he was about to finish what he had started—although the entire speech had its twists and turns, with the unceasing noise coming from the explosion, he had done his best.
Besides Daoist Priest Horizon, in the frame, there was still Song Shuhang—whose long hair was like a cape—holding a pile of Venerable White’s equipment while looking forward with a stiff face.
Song Shuhang and Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman had already concluded their ‘Profound Sage Speech’ and successfully transcended the heavenly tribulation. It was only due to them having transcended the 5+1 heavenly tribulation that they were required to wait for the whole group to complete their ‘Profound Sage Speech’ before they could leave the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
Therefore, as long as they didn’t actively try to interfere in Venerable White’s heavenly tribulation, Song Shuhang, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, and Eternity—who was still facing his Inner Demon Tribulation—wouldn’t be affected by Venerable White’s nuclear bomb.
Although there wasn’t much distance between them, the power of the nuclear bomb’s explosion that Song Shuhang and the other two felt was much weaker.
The experience they had when facing the a.s.sault of the nuclear bomb wasn’t actually that much different from having watched a nuclear bomb explosion scene in 3D. Their minds were shocked, but their bodies were completely unharmed.
“How’s Senior White?” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman asked.
“I don’t know, but Senior White should be fine.” Song Shuhang looked towards ‘Meteor Sword’ in his hand. Meteor Sword was very quiet, which meant that Senior White should be safe. Meteor Sword was a flying sword with intelligence—if Venerable White was truly in danger, then it would definitely use everything it had to head over to protect its master.
“Horizon’s speech is about to end. We should be able to leave this Heavenly Tribulation Realm soon,” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said.
“What about Senior Eternity?” Song Shuang looked towards the Inner Demon-wrapped Eternity, who wasn’t showing any signs of waking up.
“It’s possible he might leave the Heavenly Tribulation Realm with us, but he might also be forced to stay here,” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman speculated.
At this moment, Daoist Priest Horizon’s speech finally came to an end.
All of a sudden, the live broadcast all over the universe slowly disappeared.
All the pract.i.tioners in the universe suddenly cried out, “Don’t do this to us, can’t you at least let us know what happened to the white-robed Venerable? Was he able to survive the terrifying nuclear bomb?!”
“The white-robed Venerable couldn’t have died, right?”
“Before facing this nuclear bomb, the white-robed Venerable handed over all his equipment to Senior Tyrannical Song, so he probably had a way to survive, right?”
The hearts of the various pract.i.tioners in the universe were anxious. They all wanted to know how the white-robed Venerable currently was doing, but the frame of the ‘Profound Sage Speech’ was unidirectional, and if the connection was cut off, they couldn’t do anything about it.
❄️❄️❄️
In the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
Daoist Priest Horizon took a deep breath as he looked towards the void.
Then, he prepared to welcome the incoming wave of virtue power. This was the moment that was going to decide whether or not he was going to live.
I don’t need much of it, just enough to offset the Inner Demon Tribulation, Horizon thought.
Although he had faced death during the 5+1 heavenly tribulation, his will remained firm. But, if the level of the Inner Demon Tribulation was too high and he was to come across a Profound Sage-Level Inner Demon, then he wasn’t confident in being able to get through it.
At this moment, the ‘willpower’ of all the pract.i.tioners in the universe gathered towards Daoist Priest Horizon. Then, it became golden light of virtue that entered his body.
This golden light of virtue was simply pitifully small when compared to Song Shuhang’s and Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman’s power of virtue. The difference in size between them was akin to that of a mouse and an elephant.
Daoist Priest Horizon bitterly laughed. It’s over.
Such a weak golden light of virtue would definitely not be able to offset the Inner Demon Tribulation.
“Little friend Shuhang, it looks like I’m facing the Inner Demon Tribulation soon… If I’m unable to get through this wave of Inner Demon Tribulation, then you and Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman can go and equally share the treasures I left behind on ‘Jianggui Mountain’. I left the method to gain access to the treasury in the ‘Three Ages Worldwide Express Delivery’ of the Fanhua Mansion, the place where we first met. You just need to report my daoist name and the pa.s.sword ‘1314StrengthImpartingTechnique’.” After saying this, Daoist Priest Horizon bitterly laughed and closed his eyes, waiting for the descent of the Inner Demon Tribulation.
The final words of Daoist Priest Horizon made Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman’s body freeze.
F*ck, wait, haven’t I left similar last words to little friend Song Shuhang before?
At that time, he’d felt that he was going to die, so he asked little friend Song Shuhang to tell all the fairies in Nine Provinces Number One Group how he liked them and had a crush on them.
This was the dark history he had kept hidden up until now. Usually, he would wear a black windbreaker, sungla.s.ses, and keep a serious face. It was to prevent others from finding out that he was cold on the outside but sensual on the inside.
“Uhh… little friend Shuhang, regarding what I said to you before transcending the tribulation, can you act like you haven’t heard any of it?” Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said.
“Huh?” Song Shuhang was first confused, but he immediately remembered Palace Master’s last words. To be honest, if Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman hadn’t mentioned this matter, given Shuhang’s character, it would have been thrown into some corner of his mind.
But when Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman mentioned this matter, Song Shuhang remembered it. Besides some cultivators that practiced special cultivation techniques and perhaps those who had suffered brain injuries, nearly all cultivators had a really good memory.
After seeing Song Shuhang’s expression of ‘Oh, I remember now’, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman really wanted to die.
“Don’t worry, Senior. I’m very tight-lipped, I won’t talk about it. Besides, Senior, you’re safe now, so it wouldn’t be right to pa.s.s anyone your final words,” Song Shuhang said.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman patted Song Shuhang’s shoulder. He really admired juniors like Song Shuhang. However, in order to make sure that Song Shuhang would keep his mouth sealed, he felt that he needed to have a little more insurance. For example, by closing his mouth with gifts.
Meanwhile.
When Daoist Priest Horizon felt that it was over for him, things suddenly changed.
In the void, there was another wave of power of virtue surging towards Daoist Priest Horizon. This wave of power of virtue was very scattered, but there was a great amount of it.
After the first wave, there was another one, then another one again… Altogether, there were more than 30 waves of power of virtue that fell onto Daoist Priest Horizon’s body.
How did this happen? Horizon could feel that these waves of power of virtue were clearly not gained from his speech.
Could it be that due to his ‘Profound Sage Speech’ having Venerable White transcending the tribulation in the background, he got some extra ‘willpower’ as a reward from pract.i.tioners all over the universe?
In any case, with the help of this power of virtue, there was no need to worry about the Inner Demon Tribulation. The eyes of Daoist Priest Horizon filled up with tears in his excitement.
❄️❄️❄️
After Daoist Priest Horizon finished merging with his power of virtue, Song Shuhang, Horizon, and Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman turned illusory, showing that they were about to leave the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
However, Eternity was left in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. It seemed he wouldn’t be able to leave until he got through the Inner Demon Tribulation.
Before Song Shuhang left, he glanced around the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, but still couldn’t find Venerable White’s figure.
I wonder what method Senior White used to survive the second wave of the tribulation…
Wait, it couldn’t be resurrection, right?
Thinking back to how Senior White had handed over all his equipment, weren’t his actions similar to how people in games would act before preparing for resurrection?
Just as Song Shuhang was in deep thought, in the air, particles of light emerged and formed a rough picture of Venerable White.
“Eh? Shuhang, you guys are leaving? Don’t, I’ve still got a big plan that requires your help,” Venerable White’s rough picture said hurriedly.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Leaving the Heavenly Tribulation Realm or not wasn’t something he could control.
“Shuhang, wait, lend me a hand. My big plan requires your help and that world of yours!” Venerable White called out.
