Chapter 770: Sixteen shooting saber qi from her mouth

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Song Shuhang’s consciousness finally returned to his body, and when he opened his eyes, he discovered that Yu Jiaojiao was using her claws to poke his face. From the looks of it, Yu Jiaojiao didn’t trim her fingernails as of late, and her claws were extremely sharp as a consequence.

Song Shuhang had practiced the ❮Scholarly Indestructible Body of the Buddha❯ only until the beginner level, and his facial skin wasn’t thick enough. Therefore, he felt some pain when Jiaojiao poked his face with her claws.

“Jiaojiao, don’t poke my face with your claws, it’s very painful!” Song Shuhang said in a hurry.

“Ahaha, you’ve finally regained consciousness,” Yu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

On one side, Su Clan’s Sixteen was leaning against the wall and holding Venerable White’s Meteor Sword in her hands, seemingly studying something.

After seeing that Song Shuhang had woken up, the corner of her mouth rose, and, with a smile, she said, “Were you dragged into that strange ‘infinite make-up test dimension’ again?”

In the past few days, Song Shuhang had been dragged into that infinite make-up test dimension quite a few times already. Therefore, Su Clan’s Sixteen had gotten used to it.

Song Shuhang shook his head, and said, “This time, I wasn’t dragged to the infinite make-up test dimension, but to an even scarier place!”

While speaking, he noticed that he could still smell that foul odor that permeated the ‘unholy pond’.

Obviously, it was only his consciousness that entered into that ‘rune’ and visited the unholy pond through a dream-like experience… but little did he expect that that foul odor would cling to his very soul and return back to his body alongside him!

After smelling this foul odor, he really felt like throwing up. However, at this moment, there was nothing inside his belly that he could throw up; what he felt right now was difficult to describe with words alone.

“What did you encounter this time?” Su Clan’s Sixteen lifted Meteor Sword, and placed it next to Song Shuhang.

“What I saw this time made me feel somewhat restless.” Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, and said, “Let’s communicate via secret sound transmission. What I saw this time is supposed to be a secret, and it’s better if other people don’t know about it.”

After saying this much, Song Shuhang pinched his nose and used the ‘Turtle Breathing Technique’ in an attempt to get rid of that foul odor by holding his breath.

However, this was all useless. That foul odor had directly pervaded his consciousness, and it didn’t matter whether he was breathing or not. Even if he wasn’t breathing, he felt as though that odor was flooding all his five senses.

It was really a terrible situation.

“Shuhang, do you want me to use a purifying technique on your body? It seems as though you are in great pain at this time,” Yu Jiaojiao asked, somewhat confused.

Song Shuhang gave the thumbs up and repeatedly nodded his head.

Yu Jiaojiao condensed a water ball-shaped magical technique and patted it on Song Shuhang’s head.

The water ball completely soaked Song Shuhang’s body.

“Was it effective?” Yu Jiaojiao asked.

Song Shuhang shook his head and faintly sighed. “Forget it. Perhaps things will turn for the better in a while. Come, I’ll tell you what I saw just now.”

As such, Song Shuhang used the secret sound transmission method to tell Su Clan’s Sixteen and Yu Jiaojiao what he saw when his consciousness took possession of that rune.

He told them how the scholarly disciples carried the corpses of the demons of the Netherworld on their shoulders and arrived in front of that ‘unholy pond’, using the corpses of the demons to feed a gigantic golden lotus and making it produce lotus seeds.

Afterward, he also told them about that matter related to the old scholar. However, when the ‘Virtuous Golden Lotus’ and the old scholar were discussing, Song Shuhang could only hear the words of the old scholar. As such, he had no choice but to use his imagination to guess what the golden lotus might have said. Therefore, the story sounded somewhat confusing when he narrated it to Su Clan’s Sixteen and Yu Jiaojiao.

At the same time, Song Shuhang recalled the ‘autonomous world’ that the old scholar mentioned during the discussion with the golden lotus… From the looks of it, it wasn’t something as simple as a mini-dimension, but it seemed more similar to the Netherworld Realm, an independent world where the scholars could safely retreat and recover their energy.

Anyway, that golden lotus really had the ability to create a world…? Was this like the buddhist saying, ‘one flower, one world; one tree, one enlightenment’?

After hearing the story, Yu Jiaojiao lightly nodded her head, and replied via secret sound transmission, “So that’s how it is… no wonder the White Cloud Academy was willing to exchange the valuable seeds of the ‘Virtuous Golden Lotus’ for the corpses of the demons of the Netherworld Realm. They basically aren’t suffering any loss through this exchange.”

Su Clan’s Sixteen pondered for a moment, and asked via secret sound transmission, “Shuhang, why did you say that you felt restless after knowing this matter?”

In hindsight, the fact that the scholarly faction was using the corpses of the demons of the Netherworld to feed the Virtuous Golden Lotus wasn’t really that surprising. The scholarly faction and the demons of the Netherworld were archenemies, and it was quite normal that the former had researched and created something like the Virtuous Golden Lotus.

Song Shuhang replied, “If it was only this, I wouldn’t really feel restless. The problem is that I saw something similar happening in the Netherworld Realm too.”

After saying this much, he used the secret sound transmission method once more and told Su Clan’s Sixteen and Yu Jiaojiao about the time he’d dreamt about Cave Lord Dragon’s life and saw the holy pond, the Sinful Black Lotus, and its black seeds in the Netherworld Realm.

After listening to the second part of the story, Yu Jiaojiao and Su Clan’s Sixteen also felt their hair stand on ends. If one were to a.s.sume that this matter was just a coincidence… well, it was simply too much of a coincidence!

If there was really someone pulling the strings from behind the scenes… what was the objective of that person? Yu Jiaojiao and Su Clan’s Sixteen couldn’t help but shudder at the thought that there might be someone making the scholarly faction and the Netherworld Realm dance in the palm of their hand.
