Chapter 1250 Decoding: Poems stored in the chest, ink stored in the belly
‘It’s hard to explain’ signified that there was going to be a long story inbound.
Song Shuhang immediately made a listening gesture to show that he was getting ready for the Great Northern Emperor to tell the story from the ancient era.
In fact, Song Shuhang really loved listening to gossip about the ancient era.
The Great Northern Emperor said, “Well, I guess I can summarize it in two to three sentences.”
Song Shuhang: “…” Senior Beifang, can’t you follow the script?
The Great Northern Emperor explained, “To sum it all up, there was a problem with the path of the ancient Heavenly City’s ‘Heavenly Emperor’, and so I had no choice but to take advantage of death to get out of that situation. After that, it was only when little friend Song Shuhang activated the resurrection formation that I had prepared that I was finally able to return to life, but even after getting resurrected, I kept on getting the feeling that there was still something that I had left in the Heavenly City.”
It really did take only two, three sentences to summarize all of it.
So, was the thing that the Great Northern Emperor had left in the ‘Heavenly City’… the other ‘Great Northern Emperor’ from Slow-Witted Song’s red-golden s.p.a.ce?
Song Shuhang asked, “In that case, is the Great Northern Emperor in the red-golden s.p.a.ce Beifang One? While you are Beifang Two?”
The Great Northern Emperor was baffled. “Huh?”
The sea turtle said, “Which one of you is the genuine one?”
“Nonsense, of course I’m the real one.” After the Great Northern Emperor on the screen said that, he picked up a small bowl and took a spoonful.
Song Shuhang glanced at it, and curiously asked, “Is that jellied bean curd?”
The Great Northern Emperor said, “Oh? This is called jellied bean curd? I call it ┞●▲.”
The sea turtle curiously asked, “Then, Master, do you think it’s better sweet or salty?”
“Sweet or salty? I don’t mind either. However, I like the hot and sour kind which is more fragrant.” The Great Northern Emperor showed a face of satisfaction.
Song Shuhang said, “Heavens, there’s even a hot and sour kind.”
The sea turtle said, “Heresy.”
The Great Northern Emperor said, “Huh? What do you mean?”
The sea turtle calmly said, “I’m just saying little friend Song’s thoughts aloud. For him, all other kinds of jellied bean curd besides the sweet kind are wrong.”
Recently, the sea turtle delved into ‘psychology’ quite a bit, and it liked to think about other people’s thoughts.
The Great Northern Emperor: “…”
After a while.
The Great Emperor said, “I feel that yours and little friend Song’s brains will taste great with some sugar.”
Song Shuhang: ?
The sea turtle: ?
Great Emperor, we were wrong!
The Great Northern Emperor took another bite of the hot and spicy jellied bean curd, and said, “How did you and little friend Song end up in the Beast Realm?”
Song Shuhang sighed. “It’s hard to explain in a few words.”
The Great Northern Emperor then pointed the spoon toward Song Shuhang, and said, “Then just sum it up in two, three sentences.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
The sea turtle said, “To sum it up, Pavilion Master Chu’s Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion had been raided, and was pulled into the Beast Realm by some Tribulation Transcenders of the Beast Realm. After that, little friend Song and I started adventuring in the Beast Realm.”
“Tribulation Transcenders of the Beast Realm moved the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion away? They made such a huge commotion, do they not want to live?” The Great Northern Emperor frowned slightly.
The Wielder of the Heaven’s Will was soon going to change, yet they had actually made such a commotion. Were they not afraid of being targeted?
Song Shuhang added, “In addition, the Beast Realm Tribulation Transcenders also said that the ‘Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’ was the Original Heavenly City.”
“The Original Heavenly City… I see.” The Great Northern Emperor put down the spoon, and said, “Tell me what happened more specifically. What ended up happening to the Beast Realm Tribulation Transcenders? Is the Original Heavenly City okay? Also, when did Slow-Witted Song make his reappearance?”
The sea turtle said, “All of the Beast Realm’s Tribulation Transcenders were captured by Slow-Witted Song. He opened the red-golden s.p.a.ce and trapped the Beast Realm’s Tribulation Transcenders inside it. Also, the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion is currently pretty much completely ruined.”
Song Shuhang said, “What happened at the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion was actually quite complicated. Pavilion Master Chu stepped onto a weird ‘path’ and voluntarily caused the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion to break down. After that, her ‘path’ condensed a new Pavilion Master Chu. ”
“Sure enough, it was just as I had guessed,” the Great Northern Emperor said. “When it comes to the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion and Pavilion Master Chu, although I don’t know much, the news about it being the Original Heavenly City was something that I came into contact with a number of times. Pavilion Master Chu’s path should be very similar to the path of the ‘Heavenly Emperor’.”
Song Shuhang nodded. “So that’s the case. Slow-Witted Song had also implicitly mentioned this.”
The Great Northern Emperor said, “If I were to make a hypothesis… The reason for the creation of the second Pavilion Master Chu is similar to why I had to leave part of me in the ancient Heavenly City. Pavilion Master Chu’s path may be a bit different, but overall, it should still be the same path as the Heavenly Emperor. Whether it is the Heavenly Emperor’s path or Pavilion Master Chu’s path, the [Second Self] is a critical factor. Unfortunately, how to have this second self come out is something that I am not clear on.”
The sea turtle said, “But Master, don’t you also have a second version of yourself?”
The Great Northern Emperor replied, “I was able to be reborn through a ‘resurrection technique’, and I had to die once in the past. Moreover, when preparing the ‘resurrection technique’, I and several of my friends had to put in great effort. There are some principles in the technique that are related to the path to immortality of a friend, and I can’t elaborate on the details. Therefore, even I don’t understand the process of how the second self ends up coming out of the Heavenly Emperor’s path… Also, I’m sure that my clone is completely different from Pavilion Master Chu’s clone.”
Song Shuhang thought about it, and remembered what Immortal Master Copper Trigram had said.
Immortal Master had said that when he was on the mysterious island, he saw the tombs of an ‘old’ and ‘new’ Heavenly Emperor. “The second self is the critical factor. Were there also two Heavenly Emperors in the ancient Heavenly City?”
The Great Northern Emperor nodded his head before shaking it, and saying, “I’m not sure myself, but I’m getting a faint feeling that that is the case.”
