Chapter 1328 These days, without plans A, B, C, how are you supposed to accomplish anything?
“Go in!” Senior White flicked with his finger.
When the ‘disposable flying sword’ that was leading the way reached the ‘end’ of this loop-like s.p.a.ce, it suddenly changed direction, and slid up alongside the barrier.
Subsequently, the giant turtle of disaster that was right behind it immediately slammed into the boundary.
In the next moment, the spatial laws were activated, and the giant turtle was teleported to the beginning of the loop.
Senior White’s clone said, “Huh? The turtle wasn’t able to break through the barrier? This guy’s really a weak chicken.”
Soft Feather said, “Senior White, it isn’t a weak chicken, it’s a weak turtle.”
“…” Senior White’s clone.
Seemingly as if it had been stimulated, the giant turtle persisted and rushed in a frenzy towards Skylark’s eye, trying to get as close to it as it could.
…The giant turtle had low intelligence, and its actions were close to instinctual. For it, the most important task was to simply eat the parts that left Skylark’s body.
Senior White’s clone controlled the ‘disposable flying sword’ to hover over the edge of the s.p.a.ce, and continued to wait for the giant turtle to approach it.
When the giant turtle arrived at the edge of the s.p.a.ce this time, it raised its head to bite at the disposable flying sword. As it did this, Senior White flicked his finger slightly once again.
Just like before, the giant turtle ran into the barrier.
But this time, it roared loudly and opened its mouth to bite into the s.p.a.ce.
With this, the barrier of the ‘loop-like s.p.a.ce’ seemed to have been bitten apart.
But at the same time, its body was once again sent back to the starting point by the spatial laws of the area.
“I take back my words from before, this guy isn’t weak at all, it’s actually quite reliable,” Senior White’s clone said. After saying that, he controlled the ‘disposable flying sword’ to return it to his side.
Afterward, he sent out another disposable flying sword towards the ‘spatial barrier’ that had been bitten apart by the giant turtle of disaster.
This ‘disposable flying sword’ pierced through the spatial barrier.
“Fwooosh~”
A large amount of matter was ejected from that ‘crack’ in s.p.a.ce.
There were lumps of meteorites, poisonous black water similar to ink, and many other things.
Senior White’s clone controlled Meteor Sword to avoid the tide of poisonous water.
Soft Feather asked, “What’s with these things?”
Senior White said, “Don’t you feel that the area inside the ‘small black room’ of the Wielder is a tad too clean? The s.p.a.ce we’re in has at least some death qi and gray fog. But in the small black room and small white room that had opened before, did you see anything inside them? No, there was nothing inside them at all. Wouldn’t it be reasonable to think that there were other people locked inside those ‘small black rooms’ before? Then, why wasn’t there anything left behind? After we were locked inside here, there are already a lot of things that we’d end up leaving behind. For example, my disposable flying sword, or the fragments of the immortal boat. As such, I speculated that the ‘small black rooms’ definitely have a cleaning device, one that clears all the impurities within and moves them elsewhere.”
Song Shuhang said, “Is it just trash then?”
“It can’t be said that they’re all impurities, as there’s a chance that there are treasures that exist within them. If a strong person had been locked in a small black room and eventually died in that s.p.a.ce, then their magical treasures, or their valuable bodies if they were a powerful beast cultivator or monster cultivator, would have been left behind,” Senior White’s clone explained. “As long as one digs for treasure at a land where wars have occurred, they will surely be able to find some treasures. That’s how I dig for treasure in outer s.p.a.ce. Every time I dig in such places, I’m able to reap a good number of benefits.”
This was obviously not a secret!
Even people who knew nothing about digging treasures would know that it’s easier to find treasures in places where something had happened. This is almost common sense, Song Shuhang complained inwardly.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “You’re saying that there are treasures hidden among these meteors and poisonous water?”
Senior White’s clone replied, ”Yes, my instinct tells me that as long as we are patient, we will definitely find satisfactory treasures here.”
Song Shuhang, Soft Feather, and Su Clan’s Sixteen nodded together.
Senior White’s intuition was something reliable!
❄️❄️❄️
While they were talking, the giant turtle of disaster had come rus.h.i.+ng over again.
But this time, it no longer ran rampant.
It stared at Senior White’s clone because ‘Skylark’s eye’ was in his hands.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior White, are you going to lead it away again?”
Senior White shook his head, and replied, “It wouldn’t work. You can’t do the same thing thrice. Therefore, I’m going to try and communicate with it.”
Soft Feather doubtfully said, “It can communicate?”
From its name, the giant turtle of disaster didn’t sound like the type to communicate.
Senior White’s clone said, “It stopped. This time, it didn’t directly rush over to swallow ‘Skylark’s eye’, meaning that it can at least communicate a bit.”
The disaster giant remained in place, staring at the disposable flying sword in the hands of Senior White’s clone intently.
Senior White asked, “Can you understand me?”
It did not respond; it continued to stare at the disposable flying sword in his hand.
Senior White’s clone said, “It doesn’t seem to be able to communicate that way. Since that’s the case, then we can only use plan B.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Since when did we have a plan B?”
“These days, if you don’t have a plan A, B, C, wouldn’t it be plain embarra.s.sing to go out and do anything?” Senior White’s clone said. “Plan B will have me forge ‘Skylark’s eye’ into a resurrection magical treasure. After that, I’m going to let this giant turtle of disaster recycle it. However, I’ve never forged a resurrection magical treasure… so there’s a chance that I’ll fail.”
Song Shuhang said, “Senior White, even if you do successfully forge a resurrection magical treasure, won’t it lose its effect after it’s swallowed by the giant turtle?”
Senior White’s clone said, “The things that this giant turtle swallows aren’t digested. Do you remember how it bit my immortal boat into pieces? One of my acceleration magical treasures was stored inside the immortal boat. Now, it’s in its belly, safe and sound without the slightest damage. As such, we can try this out. Perhaps if we let it swallow a resurrection magical treasure, the treasure will stay the same.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Then… if I die, what of the resurrection?”
Senior White’s clone said, “You’ll resurrect inside its belly. Afterward, you’ll have to find a way to crawl out of its mouth.”
Song Shuhang’s liver trembled.
Senior White’s clone said, “Don’t worry, think about the worst-case scenario. It would at least be better to resurrect in the belly of a giant turtle than to die completely? And… didn’t I already tell you that it’s safe inside its belly?”
While he said that, Senior White’s clone took out a lot of materials. Was he going to perform an on-site forging?
Song Shuhang said, “Senior White, I’, going to owe you a lot of materials.”
Senior White’s clone said, “Don’t worry, when the time comes for us to dig treasures, you can just give me a portion of the good things that we dig out. Besides, you still owe me an entire spatial magical treasure filled with spirit stones, I’m not afraid of you owing more.”
How touching, what a great creditor!
Senior White took out a small forging table from his spatial magical treasure, and then placed the materials on it.
Senior White’s clone said, “The resurrection artifact that I know of, the [Fiery Rebirth], uses a ‘Fire Phoenix’s eye’ as its main material. Anyway, they’re both eyes, so I can probably use ‘Skylark’s eye’ to create it.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Are you sure that it’ll be alright?”
Senior White replied, “Anyway, its main material is an eye… and there is only one kind of forging blueprint I know of that has anything to do with an eye.”
“Won’t the giant turtle try to stop us?” Song Shuhang looked at the giant turtle.
The giant turtle remained motionless while staring at Senior White, not knowing what was going on.
Senior White’s clone said, “Don’t mind it. Anyway, it will ultimately be able to swallow Skylark’s eye.”
The giant turtle of disaster seemed to have understood his words, and its eyes lit up. It then continued remaining motionless.
Senior White’s clone followed the blueprint for the ‘Fiery Rebirth’ and began to forge it.
This resurrection magical treasure was a pendant.
The outside was a ring made of various materials, on which the incantation of the Fire Phoenix’s ‘Fiery Rebirth’ was written with colorful gold.
After the ring was completed, the eye had to be placed into it.
This was a very delicate magical treasure, and no mistakes were allowed during the process of its creation.
On the small forging table, the ring of the pendant was quickly forged, and Skylark’s eye was ready to be installed into it.
Senior White said, “The last step.”
Song Shuhang, Su Clan’s Sixteen, and Soft Feather all stared at the pendant closely.
The big turtle stared at the pendant as well.
Skylark’s eye was carefully placed in the ring by Senior White.
However, the magical treasure did not appear to be activated, and there was no response.
Song Shuhang asked, “Did it fail?”
“Um… there’s a small problem,” Senior White said. “I just looked at the blueprint carefully and found that this magical treasure needs a pair of Fire Phoenix’s eyes.”
Soft Feather asked, “What do we do?”
They only had one Skylark’s eye. They couldn’t really look for Skylark now and tell her to pluck another one out, right?
“We’ll just have to replace it with something else,” Senior White said while taking out a box.
There was also an eye within the sealed box.
This eye also had a story behind it; it was the left eye of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.
Song Shuhang said, “My eye?”
Senior White said, “Isn’t this great? This resurrection magical treasure will be bound to you; if you install your eye, it will be perfect.”
Song Shuhang said, “But my eye doesn’t have any special effect. Will it really be able to replace a Fire Phoenix’s eye?”
“Have some confidence. You said that you’ve practiced the ❮Self-Healing Technique❯, so it should more or less have some use,” Senior White’s clone comforted.
After that, he flipped over the ‘Fiery Rebirth’ magical treasure, took out Song Shuhang’s eye, and placed it on the other side of the pendant.
On the left was the blue ‘Skylark’s eye’, and on the right was the black ‘Tyrannical Song’s eye’.
“It’s perfect, I’ll try to activate it right now.” Senior White poured profound energy into it while chanting the Fire Phoenix’s resurrection formula.
The power of the incantation was then injected into the pendant.
This resurrection pendant was activated, and the words written on the surrounding ring of resurrection brightened.
On the left, over at where Skylark’s eye was, vitality was constantly pouring out.
On the right, over at Tyrannical Song’s eye, the projection of a phoenix had unexpectedly appeared.
“The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber?” When Song Shuhang saw the phoenix projection, he immediately came to a realization.
However, he did not become the ‘Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue’—it was Lady Onion who did so. Why did the projection of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber emerge from his eye?
