Chapter 1520 - By ape

Could it be Senior White Two’s doing?

In addition to his own set of life-bound magical treasures, Song Shuhang had also made a set for Senior White Two, which resulted in the Holy Sword of the End.

Just now, after he asked Senior White for help, was it him who sent the puppet maiden over? After that, was it Senior White Two who had sent over the other set of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure?

This would make a lot of sense.

Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, and one set of the Combined Magical Treasure returned into his body.

At the same time, his second golden core’s composition experienced another change—the golden armored warrior quietly returned to Song Shuhang’s Golden Core Composition after having left its All-Destroying Giant state.

At this time, on the ’The Forever Impregnable Holy City’ composition, the Holy City had collapsed, and the golden armored warrior had turned into a giant. Around the golden armored warrior were tens of different creations, including the King’s Guillotine, Sword Punishment Pagoda, and Giant Bear Iron Maiden that had made their appearance in the sealed space just now, as well as a ring of strangulation and cross-shaped torture devices.

The attacks headed toward the Holy City were all obliterated by the violent golden armored warrior.

The golden armored giant’s crimson eyes were the exact same as those of the All-Destroying Giant, just that it was one-fourth its size.

Two seconds later, the Golden Core Composition changed once more, and it was replaced with the original composition of the ’The Forever Impregnable Holy City’.

After another two seconds, the Golden Core Composition changed again, and became the composition of the ’All-Destroying Giant’.

The two compositions switched with one other with an interval of two seconds.

The Golden Core Composition flashed back and forth unceasingly.

"..." Song Shuhang.

What kind of picture format was this?

Why is my Golden Core Composition so willful? Without even saying a word, that guy jumped out of the Golden Core Composition and beat others up.

Song Shuhang said to himself, "It doesn’t matter. As long as one can accept this type of thing, it’s actually rather interesting."

Wasn’t it just an animated picture? It wasn’t that big of a deal.

Afterward, he looked at the extra set of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure, which was still in the air.

The [All-Destroying Giant] form that had emerged just now was obviously not something that he could activate at the moment. The giant was simply overflowing with violence and displayed strength that far exceeded the Eighth Stage Realm.

It could be said that Song Shuhang was experiencing the abilities of a transcended version of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure. Moreover, the energy was provided by the set of Combined Magical Treasure itself...

If this had not been the case, Song Shuhang would have definitely been sucked dry.

If he had been unlucky, perhaps he would’ve already been in the middle of reviving right now... No, his Resurrection Gold Coin still wasn’t off its cooldown.

Therefore, if he was unlucky, he might have become the first fellow daoist in the Nine Provinces Number One Group to be completely drained of energy by his own magical treasure and die. In the future, Senior Yellow Mountain might use him as teaching material for newbies who joined the group.

Song Shuhang silently thought to himself, Before I can make sure that the calamity affecting Heavenly Field Island won’t descend anymore, it would be best for this set of magical treasures to stay with me.

He stretched out his hand and prepared to call over the second set of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure.

Although he had given this set of magical treasures to Senior White Two, it was still a life-bound magical treasure that he had forged, so he should be able to control it.

However, at this time, the second set of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure whizzed through the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The magical treasures had left with haste, with no hesitation whatsoever.

"..." Song Shuhang.

After letting out a sigh, he descended from the air.

The puppet maiden also undid the crouching while holding one’s head mode, and landed next to Song Shuhang.

Afterward, all the remaining portions of the island-guarding formation of Heavenly Field Island were also deactivated.

Island Master Tian Tiankong said, "Thank you, little friend Shuhang."

The calamities in this sealed space had been getting increasingly grave after every occurrence. Had Song Shuhang not been present this time, Heavenly Field Island would truly have been unable to manage.

Song Shuhang replied, "You are welcome, Senior Tian Tiankong."

"If you have a way to leave this space, leave right away. If you continue to stay here—"

While Island Master Tian Tiankong was speaking, his body split once more.

His body had split into dozens of pieces, scattering all over Heavenly Field Island.

With this, the entire place began to return to how it was.

The broken island-guarding formation and the destroyed buildings on the island were all restored to their previous state.

Immediately afterward, the ’residents’ on Heavenly Field Island disappeared one by one.

The whole process was filled with weirdness.

The only ones that were not affected were Song Shuhang and the puppet maiden, who both had a physical body.

The two stood side by side, watching the changes on Heavenly Field Island.

After a while, Heavenly Field Island returned to being a ’gray’ world filled with nothing but silence. Around the island, the waves of gray water began surging.

Soon... When the next calamity appeared, the fragments of Island Master Tian Tiankong’s soul would gather again and return to being a complete projection.

The members of the island would similarly wake up one by one.

The only difference was that the members who had died in the last ’calamity’ would never appear again.

Song Shuhang turned his head, looked at the puppet maiden, and asked, "Fairy, did Senior White give you an explanation on this sealed space?"

...To be honest, he still didn’t know the name of the puppet maiden.

The puppet maiden never mentioned it, nor did Song Shuhang ask.

But having said that, it was actually more of him being afraid to ask. The puppet maiden was someone who lived during the Ancient Heavenly City era. When it came to her daoist name, it was probably similar to Fairy @#%×’s. With Song Shuhang’s current level of proficiency in the language of the Ancient Era, he likely wouldn’t be able to pronounce it.

The puppet maiden shook her head, and then she remembered another thing. She stretched out her hand, put on an ugly mask, and concealed her face.

At this time, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, "It feels like the current Heavenly Field Island is like a ’dungeon’ in the game that Lady Onion was playing. The calamity is like the players who come and grind the dungeon every once in a while. Regardless of success or failure, they leave once they’re done. And every time the calamity leaves, the dungeon returns to its previous condition."

Song Shuhang pinched his chin, and said, "Lady Onion has been playing games lately? Has she given up on practicing and becoming stronger than me?"

Scarlet Heaven Sword said, "If I were her, I would have given up long ago."

Even with the big cheat that was the ’Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’, Lady Onion’s dream of surpassing Song Shuhang was still rather far-fetched. Moreover, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber seemed to be much closer to Song Shuhang. Lady Onion was clearly the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue... but in comparison, it appeared as if Song Shuhang was the true owner of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber. Perhaps it was because he was the saber owner’s master, resulting in him having greater authority?

Scarlet Heaven Sword remembered its first master Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s prophecy back then—according to him, that silly onion would become the Wielder of the Heaven’s Will in the future.

Now it seemed like... it would only be so if all the Immortals in the universe died, and another Immortal did not appear for tens of millions of years. Only then would Lady Onion have any hope of becoming the Wielder of the Will.

The topic suddenly went greatly off-tangent.

Song Shuhang said, "That’s not good, her realm is way too low. No matter what, she’s still my monster pet. In the future, I have to urge her to practice."

After saying that, he looked at the gray Heavenly Field Island. "Now, I can only hope that the two Senior Whites can quickly deal with this sealed space’s matter. Otherwise, if we stay here for much longer and the next wave of calamity descends, then Heavenly Field Island won’t be able to manage, and the same goes for me."

He still didn’t want to die...

Song Shuhang suddenly remembered Chu Chu, and asked, "By the way, what about Chu Chu?"

At that time Chu Chu, the puppet maiden, and Senior White were all in the restaurant, right? There were also those few mechanically modified prisoners of war.

As soon as he said that, there was suddenly a fluctuation right by him.

Chu Chu’s figure jumped out of space. "Teacher, you were looking for me?"

"..." Song Shuhang.

Chu Chu said, "Teacher, I was with Senior White. We were going through 33 palaces, and Senior White ground some monsters along the way while I watched by the side. At this moment, Senior White is grinding the 10th palace. The shock waves of the battle are too dangerous, so Senior White sent me here first."

"Have you gotten anything good?" Song Shuhang asked—when he thought of going through places with Senior White, he always pictured something along the lines of an expert in the front dealing with enemies, and a cute newbie picking up the loot in the rear.

In addition, as Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, Heavenly Field Island was just like a ’dungeon’. With this in mind, Senior White’s grinding could also be seen as similar to a game.

This sealed space can’t possibly be a prototype for all kinds of games, right?

"I did manage to acquire some things, but these should be things that Immortal Fairy Bie Xue fancies." Chu Chu took out several volumes of books, and handed them to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang flipped through them.

The first was ❮Fundamentals of Basic Immortal Chef Sword Technique❯.

Song Shuhang couldn’t help but cry out loud. "Sword technique? Is this damn thing playing with me?"

Didn’t immortal chefs use knives?

Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s knife techniques were exceptional; she was very proficient in using big knives, small knives, long knives, and short knives. Especially when she tried to stab your kidneys.

An immortal chef using a sword? Are you simply targeting people like me who are utterly untalented in sword techniques and talented in saber techniques?

Besides that, there was the ❮Immortal Chef’s Thirty-Three Flames Technique❯. Similar to those who refined pills, immortal chefs also required special spiritual fire to cook a variety of ingredients. This was normal... but why did the number 33 appear so frequently?

❮Fundamental Immortal Chef Techniques❯ was a relatively complicated book, containing descriptions of a variety of ingredients. For example, in the case of monster ingredients, the treatment of monster qi. Also, how to pair up spiritual beast ingredients, and what kind of method to use while dealing with natural treasure-type ingredients in order to achieve the best effect.

❮Immortal Chef’s Thirty-Three Beginner Recipes❯.

❮Immortal Chef’s Thirty-Three Intermediate Recipes❯, still the number 33.

"Are these all secret techniques for immortal chefs?" Song Shuhang raised his head and looked at Chu Chu.

Chu Chu nodded.

Song Shuhang thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Chu Chu, do you have any interest in becoming an immortal chef?"

Chu Chu responded, "Huh?"

"I feel that these secret techniques were brought to you by fate (by ape)1," Song Shuhang said. "So, do you want to take the time to try them out?"

Chu Chu asked, "Will it affect my cultivation?"

Song Shuhang said, "It won’t. When it comes to the seniors I know, in addition to cultivation, they also specialize in other professions such as alchemy, talisman manufacturing, and formations. If they suit you well, auxiliary professions can also help your cultivation and comprehension."

Chu Chu asked, "What about you, Teacher?"

"Ugh..." Song Shuhang groaned. 有猿 and 有缘 are homonyms, meaning "has ape" and "brought together by fate" respectively.
