Chapter 1858 Saber of Mercy

The cultivators of this era are so scary. The way their brains are wired is just too strange. They are one weirder than the other.

However, the Heavenly Emperor smelled the scent of the (Braised Heavenly Tribulation), which greatly stimulated her appetite.

She pinched her chin and pondered... Should she disguise herself as Soft Feather, blend in with the crowd, and secretly have a taste of the Braised Heavenly Tribulation?

It appeared that most of the cultivators in the banquet were quite drunk, so as long as nobody was specifically watching out for it, the sudden addition of another ‘Soft Feather’ should go unnoticed.

At this time, Song Shuhang had entered a state of enlightenment.

As he sliced apart the heavenly tribulation, he began to incorporate the saber techniques that he had mastered into his moves.

Starting from the most fundamental (Basic Saber Technique), which he had learned from the young man in green robes in Senior White’s illusory reality and was the foundation of most saber techniques...

...then to the (Strong Gale Saber)... with the (Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique) coming next... and finally the (Karmic Saber Technique)!

Because of the lesson he had learned the hard way the last time, Song Shuhang had decisively chosen to avoid using the (Inverted Scale Saber Technique).

Previously, during the period when he was about to comprehend his first saber intent, he had repeatedly urged the Inverted Scale Saber Technique. In the end, he had gotten a set of saber intent armor. Although the saber intent armor was both cool-looking and powerful, he really wanted to have a more normal and attack-oriented saber intent as a saber cultivator. However, as had transpired, he had gotten an armor-type saber intent.

The things that Song Shuhang wished for were getting fewer and fewer. At this point, he had already come to terms with his identity as a saber cultivator. And although it would indeed be nice, he no longer wished for some earth-shattering tyrannical and domineering saber intent; he would be happy as long as it was completely ordinary!

Unknown to him, a layer of dark metal had emerged on hisarms—the (Variant Steel Hands Technique) In addition, behind him, the Holy Ape Choir had appeared. Under the leadership of the large Holy Ape, the smaller Holy Apes flipped their Scholarly Scriptures in unison and began to sing in a deep pitch, following the rhythm of Fairy Creation’s singing. The already impassioned singing acquired an additional feeling of solemnity.

If immortal chefs who were cooking could be given points, then Song Shuhang at this time would definitely get a high score of over 90 out of 100.

He had his personal background music, as well as the blessing of Fairy Virtue. He had a cute fairy maiden from the Su Clan acting as his assistant, and the ingredients he worked with exuded a dark golden light. The special effects were simply out of this world!

Song Shuhang said, “Mm-hm, I’m in a great state right now.”

He felt as if he had never been in a better state than he was right now.

At this time, the sixth strip of the Third Stage heavenly tribulation followed in the footsteps of its brothers.

Faster! Improve the rhythm!

Fairy Sixteen handed over the seventh strip of the heavenly tribulation at the perfect time.

Soft Feather and the black-skinned Soft Feather had also gathered around them at some point. She and Chu Chu helped Song Shuhang set up the large pot, and used the fire controlling art to boil the water in the pot.

This water came straight from the spiritual spring on Heavenly Field Island. Before they could have the (Braised Heavenly Tribulation), they needed to cleanse the pieces of heavenly tribulation using boiled water.

Soft Feather said, “I feel that the temperature is a bit low.”

As she said this, she looked at Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard. She remembered that Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s main body had the ability to bring out a heaven-burning flame... I wonder if Senior’s scabbard also has this function.

Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue came over along with Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly. “Don’t worry about the fire. I have a special red flame here.”

After saying that, he looked at Song Shuhang. “I feel that little friend Shuhang is about to experience some changes soon.”

At this time, Song Shuhang’s second saber intent was indeed only a sliver away from condensing

“(Saber-Nurturing Technique)!” At this time, Song Shuhang’s left and right hands suddenly shone brightly.

“Is he planning on using the Saber-Nurturing Technique to improve the tacit understanding between himself and the kitchen knife?” Senior White’s clone nodded in approval.

Senior Turtle said, “But if he wants to improve the tacit understanding between himself and the kitchen knife, he doesn’t need to perform the (Saber-Nurturing Technique) with both hands, right?”

With that said, whom or what was Song Shuhang’s other hand’s (Saber-Nurturing Technique) intended for?

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said rhetorically, “Does he want to use it on himself?”

While the several seniors continued guessing, Song Shuhang had already taken action. As Senior White had speculated, Song Shuhang indeed used one instance of the (Saber-Nurturing Technique) on the kitchen knife. As for the second instance of the (Saber-Nurturing Technique), it fell on the heavenly tribulation.

“What is he doing?” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword couldn’t understand Song Shuhang’s actions.

“Maybe he’s trying to improve the taste of the ingredients?” Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue pinched his chin and said, “It is said that cows that grow up listening to music often have more natural and mellow-tasting meat. Although I don’t know if that’s true or not... perhaps little friend Shuhang wants to use the massage function of the (Saber-Nurturing Technique) to enhance the taste of the heavenly tribulation?”

Song Shuhang shouted, “Now!”

Song Shuhang displayed the extremes of his abilities with the saber, wasting not a single ounce of power!

The (Basic Saber Technique), (Strong Gale Saber), (Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique), (Karmic Saber Technique), (Blade Dragging Technique), (Tyrannical Saber Flight), (Moonlight Saber Control), (Saber-Nurturing Technique), and (Three Thousand Sabers Scripture). All of the saber techniques which Song Shuhang had grasped were displayed one after the other.

All the knowledge, comprehension, and experience he had of saber techniques were integrated into this move.

The kitchen knife descended, and saber intent erupted wildly.

Song Shuhang produced colorful and dreamy knifework.

With this, his second saber intent condensed and formed. “What is this saber intent?” Su Clan’s Seven frowned slightly, falling into thought. This dreamy and illusory saber intent didn’t seem to be a kind he had ever seen in the past. Moreover, this beautiful saber intent appeared to lack any tyrannical force, making it feel like it was opposing the orthodox path of saber cultivators. However, when he thought of Song Shuhang’s saber intent armor, he no longer felt it to be that strange.

Song Shuhang held the kitchen knife, his consciousness still immersed in the aftermath of the formation of the second saber intent.

After a while, the corners of his mouth rose, and he nodded in satisfaction.

The second saber intent was an offensive sword intent!

And it worked wonderfully!

This saber intent was suitable for attacking weak points. If he raised his blade, the saber intent would lock onto his enemy’s weak point, and move straight towards it. This saber intent touched upon both the cutting techniques of immortal chefs and the laws of karma.

In addition, this move could be said to be merciful—a Saber of Mercy of sorts.

Those who were struck or killed by this saber intent would not feel any pain... and would instead even feel very comfortable!

In addition, this second saber intent had great potential. It was still in the process of forming, and thus still growing! It could continue to grow stronger, and its effect would continue to improve.

For Song Shuhang, this second saber intent being an offensive saber intent was enough to make him satisfied.

Next, he had to continue to cultivate and nurture this new saber intent, have it grow as soon as possible, and tap into all of its potential.

He waved the knife again, and the illusory saber intent flickered repeatedly.

In just a moment, all of the strips of heavenly tribulation were sliced apart. “Onto the next step, cleansing.” Song Shuhang turned his head, and saw that Soft Feather and Chu Chu had prepared a large pot, and there was already water boiling within.

Besides this, Soft Feather was holding Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard in her hand, using it to stir the cauldron.

Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard asked, “Can I really cultivate an inner demon manifestation?”

Soft Feather said seriously, “Definitely. I can even tailor the inner demon manifestation to Senior’s needs.”

Song Shuhang nodded silently.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, he activated his psychic energy, and transferred all of the strips of the heavenly tribulation into the pot.

Hm, this pot of water will have filtered out the small pieces of heavenly tribulation... If I were to sell them, I should be able to get a considerable amount of spirit stones, right?

As this thought appeared in his mind, Song Shuhang quickly shook his head and threw it to the back of his mind.

I’ve become too crazy for money.

Forty minutes later.

Following the steps of the Demon Emperor’s menu, the first batch of (Braised Heavenly Tribulation) was finished.

Song Shuhang asked, “Who wants to try the dish first?”

Although he had a chef heart and the Demon Emperor’s immortal chef inheritance, Song Shuhang himself did not know whether this (Braised Heavenly Tribulation) was successful or not.

“Can I have a try, little fellow daoist?” In the void, a voice suddenly sounded.

Soon after, the entirety of Heavenly Field Island fell into a state of darkness, those within finding it difficult to even see an arm’s length away from them.
