Chapter 1256 - The inevitably unforgettable Seventh Sage (1/2)
Song Shuhang said, “Also, it’s not really good for me to wipe Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s sweat in this state.”
He was currently a pair of steel arms, and his thick arms wouldn’t be able to do a delicate work like wiping someone’s sweat.
In the meantime, he had been trying to restore his body to human form, but it had repeatedly ended up in failure. Perhaps he had to wait for a period of time so as to allow his body and spirit to recover before he could transform again.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue smiled, before exhaling and saying, “Then you better take a few steps back. I’m soon going to increase the power of the phoenix flames to move to the next phase of the forging.”
Song Shuhang asked as he stepped back, “Fairy, is the whale sage bone about to take shape?”
“How could it be so easy? This is the bone of an Eighth Stage Profound Sage, after all. However, after I increase the flame’s power, and hammer it a few thousand times, it should start taking the shape of the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior’.”
In other words, there were going to be a few thousand more ‘+100’s and ‘+50’s, truly heart-rending.
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Don’t wear such a sad expression on your face. In order to forge your magic weapon, I even brought out the Nine Virtues Phoenix Fire. You’ll have an increase in quality but without an increase in the price. You should be happy.”
Song Shuhang squeezed out a smile, and said, “Thank you Fairy, but… I would be more grateful if you could turn off the pricing function.”
“Customer, that isn’t possible.” Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s eyebrows raised as she said, “The pricing function is the only fun that those of our Heavy Metal Sect can have. Forging is a very boring thing, and if the only fun that we have is stripped away from us, we would lose the energy to forge things.”
After saying that, she extended her hand and more flames were summoned. The flames shrouded her, causing her to look the same as Song Shuhang when he’d borrowed ‘Scarlet Heaven Sword’ to use the Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique.
The sea turtle retreated as well.
The sea turtle said, “Not good, I’m going to get dehydrated. This flame is too overbearing.”
Song Shuhang retreated together with Senior Turtle. While doing so, he felt as if his liquefied body was about to evaporate.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Turtle, have I become smaller?”
The sea turtle glanced at him, and then shook its head. “Not only have you not become smaller… even with you currently being a pair of steel arms, you should have actually expanded a bit.”
Song Shuhang curiously said, “I’m actually expanding? Isn’t my body supposed to be evaporating?”
The sea turtle said, “Perhaps it’s because of the laws of thermal expansion and contraction?”
Song Shuhang: “…”
He turned his fists around and ‘looked’ towards Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.
She was shrouded in flames, and her figure could be seen vaguely swaying in the fire. Her slender arms were waving the big and small hammers, quickly smas.h.i.+ng down with both of them at varying times. The scene was one wherein she appeared to be dancing.
“Ding, ding, ding, ding~”
+100
+50
+100
+50
…
The flaming text flooded the screen, filling up Song Shuhang’s ‘line of sight’.
The Senior of the Heavy Metal Sect who invented this feature must be a very s.a.d.i.s.tic person. The average person would definitely not have been able to invent such a way of showing the price.
While he was in thought, all of a sudden, Song Shuhang and Senior Turtle felt something in their hearts.
The two raised their heads and looked at the sky.
However, the two could only see the ceiling of the Palace of Winter.
The sea turtle said, “This feeling… is another person becoming a Profound Sage?”
What was going on this year, did seven Venerables actually have an appointment and all decided to advance this year? Or, could this all be related to the arrival of the ‘spiritual energy tides’?
With the imminent change of the Wielder of the Will, the next wave of spiritual energy was also in sight. In the near future, there was going to be a prosperous period for pract.i.tioners all over the universe!
Song Shuhang asked, “Is it the divinity show? Who’s the one that has ascended?”
The sea turtle said, “Heavens, how am I supposed to know? I can’t see the screen of the divinity show.”
Song Shuhang recalled that they were still in the ‘Inner World’.
With his Inner World’s continuous evolution, it has been becoming more and more special.
Now, while staying in the Inner World, although he could still sense that there was a Profound Sage who wanted to ‘show their divinity’, but without Song Shuhang’s specific instructions, the screen of that person’s divinity show would not be shown inside the ‘Inner World’.
Song Shuhang willed it and gave the Inner World an order to broadcast the screen of the ‘divinity show’.
In the next moment, a projection appeared on the ceiling of the Palace of Winter.
The Inner World did not directly let the ‘divinity show’ manifest itself into the world, but instead re-broadcasted the ‘divinity show’ inside it.
This was a security function that came with the Inner World.
On the screen, a man was sitting cross-legged. The robe on his body was damaged and his long hair was in a mess, but the mess did nothing to his elegance at all.
Despite him merely sitting there, the void seemed to collapse with him as the center.
“It’s Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue!” Song Shuhang recognized the figure at a glance.
Earlier, Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue had informed him that Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had gone to transcend his tribulation, while he himself had become a candidate for the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue.
Now, in the blink of an eye, Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had successfully transcended his heavenly tribulation and became an Eighth Stage Profound Sage.
Song Shuhang curiously asked, “How much time did Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue spend to transcend his tribulation?”
Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue continued to quickly strike down with her hammers as she replied, “A few days. According to Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue, he’d begun preparations for his heavenly tribulation after he went to sleep last week. It should have been taken him about two or three days.”
The reason why Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue had only informed Song Shuhang today was because she had just woken up today.
