2111 Regretting not having met earlier
Song Shuhang speculated that the hidden area the main world’s Senior White had entered with his heaven-defying luck was the secret realm that Wielder of the Will White left behind back then.
Furthermore, he suspected that it was what the stone tablet had been constantly suppressing.
Song Shuhang recalled that when Senior White Two and Senior White exchanged information with each other, the former mentioned that Wielder of the Will White once joked about leaving a younger sister for Senior White Two.
Song Shuhang said wittily, “It seems that after Senior White goes in, Young Sis White will come out.”
The stone tablet asked in puzzlement, “What?”
“It’s nothing. I’m just joking around. Don’t mind me.” Song Shuhang’s desire to live suddenly burst out, and he forcibly suppressed the rampant speculations flashing through his mind.
Some thoughts could only be relegated to the depths of one’s mind and never shared with others.
Otherwise, those thoughts could bring you death.
The stone tablet: “…”
Song Shuhang asked, “So, it’s because you have to suppress whatever this thing is that you cannot leave this place, right?”
They could now communicate with one another, so he wanted to confirm things through the stone tablet’s reply.
When the time came, he would report this matter to Senior White Two.
The stone tablet replied, “Yes, I cannot follow you back until my mission is over.”
Song Shuhang said “Then, I’ll cast a technique to push you back into the ground. Afterward, I will tell Senior White Two about your situation.”
“White Rabbit? Who is White Rabbit?” The stone tablet found itself confused.
“You misheard me. I didn’t say white rabbit,” Song Shuhang said seriously. “I’m talking about Senior White of the Netherworld, your master.”
The stone tablet replied, “Oh, Black White.”
Song Shuhang asked, “What?”
“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I misspoke. Actually, you misheard,” the stone tablet also said seriously. “Yes, you misheard.”
Song Shuhang hugged the stone tablet and stared at it.
Although the stone tablet did not have any eyes, it seemed to be also “watching” Song Shuhang.
After a while, both of them suddenly let out a hearty laughter.
Whether it was White Rabbit or Black White, they were both nicknames that could not be mentioned in front of Netherworld’s Senior White.
After looking at each other and smiling, Song Shuhang and the stone tablet found that they matched each other well. As a result, the duration of the One With the Saber Realm increased slightly.
The stone tablet said, “After I finish my mission, let’s work together.”
“I was thinking the same.” Song Shuhang nodded and said, “In the future, when I go to fight big shots, I hope to bring you with me. I feel like we’re very compatible.”
The stone tablet reminisced. “Fighting big shots, how nostalgic. Back then, my master took me to battle everywhere, and every twenty or so years, we would challenge a big shot. Back in those days, I had quite the reputation throughout the entire universe.”
As soon as one reached a certain age, they would start missing the past.
Magical treasures were no exception to this phenomenon.
After reminiscing, the stone tablet asked, “Do you also like to fight big shots? Have you fought against a lot of them?”
“More or less, but I haven’t really gone against that many.” Song Shuhang gestured with his hand and said, “And to be honest, I don’t really like going against big shots that much, but I just end up having to confront them out of nowhere. Sometimes, it’s not even my fault. I’d just be chilling at home when a random big shot appears out of nowhere.”
Nonetheless, it was really exciting whenever he went against a big shot.
“It seems like there’s a problem with your luck,” the stone tablet said. “Speaking of which, on average, do you go against a big shot once every few decades?”
Once every few decades?
This question stumped Song Shuhang.
“On average, I’d say once every… year?” Song Shuhang said with a guilty conscience.
Even Wielder of the Will White would have intervals of around 20 years between his fights with big shots. It seemed like there really was something wrong with him.
“Once every year? This frequency is a bit too high,” the stone tablet commented.
Then, it paid closer attention to Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang was currently between the Sixth and Seventh Stage Realm.
I see.
Since he’s at the Sixth Stage Realm, then the “big shots” this guy should be fighting should be Seventh Stage Venerables or Eighth Stage Profound Sages, right?
In that case, this frequency is a bit more understandable.
The stone tablet said confidently, “I roughly understand your situation. However, it doesn’t matter that much. As your strength improves, you will find stronger enemies. At that time, I will be with you, and you can fight whichever big shot you wish. Then, I will take you to fight against real big shots, those that are at the pinnacle of the universe.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Stronger enemies?
He could not help but glance at his blacklist.
Demon Emperor Hezhi, the Indestructible Lord.
There was also the Heavenly Emperor, who claimed to be neutral.
And there were also the fat ball and the big-eyed planet, who were currently not on the blacklist.
Big shots who are even more powerful than those on the list… Does it mean that I have to fight the Wielder of the Heaven’s Will?!
Song Shuhang said firmly, “Alright, it’s a deal then.”
If one day in the future, a little cultivator like him had the opportunity to fight against the Wielder of the Heaven’s Will, then he would definitely bring this stone tablet with him.
The stone tablet said boldly, “A gentleman can’t go back on his word. I have a hunch that my mission will end within a year. At that time, we can bravely venture into the outside world together.”
As Song Shuhang and the stone tablet chatted, the relationship between the two grew closer.
The One With the Saber Realm strengthened, and the duration kept on increasing.
Song Shuhang said, “Then, see you in a year.”
“I wanted to chat with you for a while longer. Unfortunately, I have a mission to accomplish.” The stone tablet sighed.
They both felt as if the other was a close friend. The more they talked, the more they wanted to continue talking, feeling reluctant to part.
Song Shuhang said enthusiastically, “Then, I’ll be sending Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet back.”
The stone tablet replied, “There must come a time for parting. Little friend Song, you don’t need to bother. I shall take my leave myself.”
With that, the One With the Saber Realm came to an end.
Song Shuhang and the stone tablet’s consciousnesses returned to their bodies.
The stone tablet shook slightly several times.
Song Shuhang’s head floated up, and his arms made of hair performed the “cupping hands” gesture as a way to send the other party off.
“Fwoo~”
The stone tablet rose automatically, broke through the space of the world within a world, and returned to the crystal world.
In the next moment, it crashed back into the hole it came from.
“Ah! I forgot to ask if Senior White entered the secret realm that the tablet is suppressing…” Song Shuhang suddenly remembered.
He hastily stretched out his hand to stop the stone tablet—
“Whoosh~”
At that moment, something whooshed past him.
It was the wooden body, which seemed to be attracted by some kind of force.
Song Shuhang: “!!!”
He quickly stretched out his arms made of hair and grabbed the hands of the wooden body.
The wooden body also grabbed back at Song Shuhang.
A huge suction force exploded from the wooden body.
Song Shuhang and it were pulled out of the world within a world, falling towards the hole that the stone tablet went into.
The wooden body was being drawn by the stone tablet!
Song Shuhang: “…”
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, this isn’t very kind of you. Why are you taking my wooden body with you as you leave?!
