2114 Holding a rice bowl made of gold yet begging for food
“Lend me a hand?” Song Shuhang’s eyes scanned the stone tablet’s body.
Rending hearts was a kind of disease, but when this disease flared up, it was very refreshing; it made people fall into a state of being unable to extricate themselves from it.
Among many, a famous victim of this very phenomenon was the Heavy Metal Sect that Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue belonged to.
That sect was obsessed with rending the hearts of its customers, and it was famous all over the world for its exquisite heart-rending skills and forging mastery. For them, the happiness of rending hearts was something that outsiders had no way of understanding.
“Stop, I know what you’re thinking.” The stone tablet laughed. “But I actually do have arms!”
Then, a large number of arms emerged from behind the stone tablet, making it look like it was imitating the Thousand Hands Guanyin.
Song Shuhang said with heartfelt admiration, “You’re amazing, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet.”
Pavilion Master Chu: “…”
Song Shuhang asked, “Right, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, can you get rid of the spatial confinement?”
The stone tablet smiled slightly and said, “I have been in Garre Holy Mountain’s trial area for so long that I’ve practically become part of it. I couldn’t be any more familiar with the spatial confinement here.”
Song Shuhang said happily, “Are you saying that you can undo the spatial lock?”
If he could access his Inner World, he could do a lot more.
“I don’t have that authority as I’m not a trial officer,” the stone tablet said slowly. “However, I do have a way to help you sense the spatial confinement. Afterward, you and I must enter the One With the Tablet mode so that I can lend you some of my power. There will be a short period of time where the spatial confinement affecting you will be disturbed, and you can use that small window to open your Inner World. The process is slightly difficult, so you must grasp that opportunity to open your Inner World.”
Song Shuhang nodded and said, “I didn’t understand everything, but okay.”
Anyway, everything that the stone tablet said sounded pretty cool.
“You’re going to help him sense the spatial confinement? Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, are you saying that you can help Song Shuhang sense spatial energy in advance?” Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair, which had returned to its normal length, rose up slightly.
Spatial abilities were abilities that only Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders had access to. If the stone tablet could allow Song Shuhang to “sense” spatial energy while he was only in the Sixth Stage Realm, the means at its disposal were simply heaven-defying.
Song Shuhang said curiously, “Is it difficult to sense spatial energy in advance?”
Pavilion Master Chu replied, “Of course it is! If it’s not difficult, then how can it be that only Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders can use it?”
Song Shuhang said, “But I seem to remember that Soft Feather’s father, Venerable Spirit Butterfly… Well, he’s now a Sage, but anyway, Senior Spirit Butterfly mastered a part of the principles of space when he was still a Seventh Stage Venerable. At that time, he could already interfere with spatial teleportation.”
There was also Senior White, who awakened his spatial innate skill when he was a Seventh Stage Venerable, and he could use spatial abilities with ease.
There was also Venerable Tornado, the man who most loved the limelight in the world of cultivation, who could interfere with space when he borrowed the power of the magical treasure of his sect.
“Don’t treat those special cases as common occurrences.” Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair tapped Song Shuhang’s head lightly. “The world is so big, so there will always be some people who are special. However, that does not mean that everyone is special and can just influence space when they are at the Seventh Stage.”
“I understand.” Song Shuhang nodded, and said to the stone tablet seriously, “Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, please teach me.”
Song Shuhang sat down solemnly.
Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair swayed slightly, while the virtuous lamia floated above Song Shuhang’s head.
The virtuous fat whale was propped behind her so that she could lie down comfortably.
Fairy Creation also sat next to Song Shuhang, watching with great interest.
The stone tablet cleared its throat and began to explain the method to sense the spatial confinement. “Little friend Song, have you experienced spatial teleportation? Entering a small world does not count.”
This experience is very important. If he has never experienced spatial teleportation in the past, the following steps will not be easy to carry out.
“Mm-hm, quite often,” Song Shuhang nodded and said. Besides frequently using the spatial passages that Senior White and other big shots created, he had the magical treasure [Ancestral Witch’s Blessing], which allowed him to carry out a 500-meter-range spatial jump.
The stone tablet: “…”
Which Sixth Stage cultivator can experience spatial teleportation quite often? Besides that, do you really think that Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcenders all have nothing to do and would just open spatial passages for you every day?!
The stone tablet continued to ask him questions, “It’s good that you have experienced it. Then, when you experienced spatial teleportation, did you gain any insights?”
Song Shuhang nodded and said, “Yes.”
There were spatial passages that took quite a long to get through, and he gained some insights from them.
In addition, after he swapped places with his clone when he was in the Ninth Stage Heavenly Tribulation Realm, he gained some understanding of principles of space.
That bit of knowledge was presumably some feedback given to him by the Ninth Stage Heavenly Tribulation.
Moreover, his [Ancestral Witch’s Blessing] glove itself could enhance the wearer’s affinity for space.
And so, Song Shuhang briefly described his understanding of space to the stone tablet.
His sentences were all over the place as he had not learned this knowledge about space systematically.
Pavilion Master Chu said with some surprise, “You actually have quite a bit of understanding of space…”
She knew that Song Shuhang’s theoretical knowledge with regard to cultivation was a complete mess, so she did not expect him to have so many insights into a high-level subject such as space.
Song Shuhang said modestly, “I’ve seen a lot, and I learned something while I was at it.”
“That should be enough,” the stone tablet replied. “Since you have such a deep understanding of space, it should be fine if you simply want to interfere with space.”
The stone tablet continued, “Next, I will apply a magical technique to your eyes so that you can see the elements of the world. Make use of your understanding of space to try and distinguish the element of space from the other elements.”
Song Shuhang asked curiously, “What magical technique are you going to use?”
The stone tablet said, “I don’t remember its name, but it’s a magical technique that does just what I said. Are you ready?”
Song Shuhang nodded. “Yep.”
The many palms behind the stone tablet moved, and one of them pressed against Song Shuhang’s eyes.
Just when the stone tablet’s hand was about to press on Song Shuhang’s eyes, Shuhang’s left eye lit up!
A dazzling golden light was released from the left eye.
Even the stone tablet’s heart skipped a beat when it sensed the power coming from this golden light.
The stone tablet yelled, “What’s wrong with your eye?!”
Song Shuhang suddenly remembered the peculiarity of his left eye and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, I forgot to tell you. This eye is the Scholarly Sage’s eye.”
“You cheater.” The stone tablet felt exasperated.
Although it had been carrying out its mission in Garre Holy Mountain’s trial area all this while, it still knew of the Scholarly Sage. The trial takers who entered the crystal world in the ancient era would all talk about the Scholarly Sage, who suppressed the entire universe.
Although I do not know why the eye of the incredible Scholarly Sage is installed in the eye socket of little friend Song…
If you have such a powerful eye, why are you not making good use of it?
Can’t you develop the ability of this eye and use it to see the elements of space?
You are holding a rice bowl made of gold yet begging for food!
