Chapter 982: Sixteen transcending the tribulation

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

After Venerable White made his appearance, the invisible sword insects retreated to one side, not daring to breathe.

Actually, Venerable White himself was also very curious as to why the invisible sword insects were this scared after seeing him, to the point that they didn’t even dare to attack them.

Invisible sword insects were extremely fierce bug-type spirit beasts that feared nothing, not even death. Their strength was around the Fourth, Fifth Stage, and they were totally invisible—not even the mental detection of cultivators could detect them. To ordinary cultivators, they were as deadly as a wild Zed for LOL players.

In addition, sword insects were territorial spirit beasts. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they would dare to attack even an Eighth Stage Profound Sage even if the other party were to invade their territory, let alone a Seventh Stage Venerable! They did not fear death, and even if they couldn’t defeat the enemy, they would smear their faces with their blood and guts.

Only if one had studied techniques to tame animals like Venerable Ruhuo could they make the invisible sword insects move to one side without putting up a fight.

Venerable White hadn’t studied such techniques, but when he approached the invisible sword insects, they started trembling and retreated, keeping a distance of 10 meters between the two sides. They were so frightened that even their hearts were about to stop.

Senior White himself was baffled, and had no idea what was going on.

The invisible sword insects kept a distance of ten meters between Venerable White and them.

At this time, they were vigilantly looking at the opposite party. They were confused as to why the strength of this pretty cultivator before their eyes had decreased so much. He had seemingly dropped from the Tribulation Transcender Realm to the Venerable Realm in one go. Still, the invisible sword insects were never going to forget his aura and mistake him for someone else.

As long as they sensed that aura, they would feel their souls tremble. In front of him, they did not even dare to resist, let alone attack him.

Finally, a fat sword insect that was slower than the others when it was time to run got captured. It was precisely the same invisible sword insect that Venerable White was patting and threatening earlier, asking it about Song Shuhang’s whereabouts.

This proved two things:

1) When one met a ferocious animal, the speed at which they had to run away… definitely had to be faster than the people around them!

2) Fatties were at a disadvantage when it came to running, and they were the ideal targets for the ferocious animal due to them being oversized.

With Venerable White there, sword insects didn’t dare to attack them, and Song Shuhang’s plan to use the invisible saber insects to test the defensive capabilities of his helmet intent—ugh, armor saber intent, failed.

However, there was no need to be impatient for there were several other methods he could use to test the strength of his armor saber intent. For example, he could tell Ye Si to launch several powerful attacks toward him and test the intensity of the armor that way. He didn’t necessarily have to use the invisible sword insects.

“Senior White, should we leave this place?” Song Shuhang asked. After this trip to the forbidden area, he was exhausted. The only thing he wanted to do right now was to look for a place to sleep.

“Leave?” Senior White said. “Shouldn’t we explore the forbidden area a little first?”

“About that… the forbidden area has already explored in its entirety,” Song Shuhang replied. Moreover, the master of the forbidden area, the Great Northern Emperor, had already come back to life.

And he had also discovered a method to treat Li Yinzhu’s disease.

The Great Northern Emperor had given him a thick block of ice with a supplementary cultivation technique within that could alleviate the symptoms of Li Yinzhu’s disease. In addition, he would refine the Ice Soul Pill for him after he had gathered all the ingredients. According to the estimations of the Great Northern Emperor, he could start refining the pill within ten days.

Song Shuhang was planning to take out some time tomorrow and head to the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion to give this block of ice to Li Yinzhu.

“But I didn’t get to explore it!” Venerable White held his chin, and said, “We are already at the entrance of the forbidden area, how can we return empty-handed when in front of a mountain of wealth?”

“Senior White, the master of the forbidden area is awake,” Song Shuhang explained. “In other words, the forbidden area isn’t an ownerless place anymore.”

“Eh? The forbidden area has a master?” Venerable White sighed. “That’s really a pity.”

As long as one barged inside an ownerless forbidden area or treasure house, it could be regarded as treasure-hunting or exploration.

But, if they barged inside a forbidden area with a master, it was robbery.

In short, two completely different things.

Therefore, Venerable White had no choice but to give up on exploring the forbidden area.

Then, he gazed at the various invisible sword insects in front of him and his eyes lit up.

“Shuhang, I feel that these invisible sword insects are very suited to become mediums for my ‘disposable flying swords’,” Venerable White said. “I was originally thinking of manufacturing 10,000 rough ‘Meteor Swords’ and put them together to form a great formation. But, manufacturing 10,000 Meteor Swords is rather exhausting, and it would be way better if I could just modify these invisible sword insects and turn them into a sword formation!”

“I see. But, Senior White… other people can’t see these invisible sword insects, right?” Song Shuhang said. Creating a formation with 10,000 swords was rather cool, but if the other party couldn’t even see them, what was the point?

“It doesn’t matter. It’s fine as long as I can see them.” Venerable White gazed at the somewhat fat invisible sword insect in his hand, eager to get into action. The bodies of invisible sword insects had the same shape as a sword, and it would be rather interesting if he could engrave a formation on their bodies and turn them into disposable flying swords.

“Still, is it possible to control these grown-up invisible sword insects?” Song Shuhang asked.
