2117 Shuhang, do you know how to become One With the Tablet?
That guy had sabotaged the black stele’s plans time and time again. It was as if it was targeting it purposefully.
The black stele gritted its teeth and accelerated the speed at which it checked its database.
If it did not find this guy’s information today, it would lose its mind.
The huge database at its disposal was fully scanned through a multi-threaded effort.
Not long after, it found some information about that head in its database.
This information came from a textbook written by an ancient demonic sect that had been collected by an evil demon of the Netherworld who had gone to the main world.
In the textbook, there was a portrait of a man with only his head and shoulders visible. The stele could not tell if there was that strand of hair or not because, in the portrait, the top of Demon Emperor Hezhi’s head was not visible.
“A source of inspiration for all demonic sects and a great figure of the ancient era, Demon Emperor Hezhi. With only eight dragon patterns, he managed to ultimately step onto a path to immortality, becoming a peak existence even among Immortals. It is rumored that he fought for the position of Wielder of the Heaven’s Will in the past.” The black stele read through the information.
F*ck! This guy even competed for the position of Wielder of the Heaven’s Will!
According to the textbook, it was not as simple as being present while the fight to become the Wielder of the Heaven’s Will took place. It referred to a proper battle for the position, like the one between the Scholarly Sage and the liquid metal ball.
Could it be that Demon Emperor Hezhi has discovered the secret the previous Wielder of the Will left in Garre Holy Mountain’s trial area?
That makes sense… Only this kind of secret which is related to a Wielder of the Heaven’s Will would be able to attract someone who’s a peak existence even among Immortals. It is, after all, these peak Immortals who aim to become the Wielder of the Heaven’s Will and attain eternity.
The black stele said in a deep voice, “This guy is difficult to deal with.”
An existence of this level is second only to monsters like the Scholarly Sage. With tens of thousands, if not millions of years having passed, he might have achieved a breakthrough as well, reaching the level of the Scholarly Sage.
If that’s the case, it’s almost impossible to deal with him without bringing him into the Netherworld Realm, the black stele thought to itself.
It quickly sorted out the information and passed it to the Netherworld Realm, asking its master to make a decision.
Opponents at this level were beyond the scope of what it could handle.
However, it was unwilling to give up.
According to the fragmented information it received, Demon Emperor Hezhi was in Garre Holy Mountain’s trial area, and he had come in contact with the source of suppression, a very handsome stone tablet!
Such a handsome tablet was simply a rarity among stone monuments!
If Demon Emperor Hezhi managed to impress that handsome stone tablet and obtained the secrets of the previous Wielder of the Will, all of its plans and efforts would have been for naught.
The black stele said firmly, “I won’t give up just like that. The secrets of the previous Wielder of the Will have yet to be uncovered. I still have a chance.”
❄️❄️❄️
Meanwhile, the stone tablet stared at the small spatial node, annoyed. “It seems that just after I left my post, someone tampered with this place, setting up this spatial node and remotely transferring some evil energy of the Netherworld here.”
The quality of this evil energy is extremely high. If it were compared to spiritual energy, it would be equivalent to Eighth or Ninth Stage spiritual energy at the very least.
It then looked at Song Shuhang.
Little friend Song is not only a cheater, but also a freak.
His Inner World can directly absorb the evil energy…
This is the evil energy of the Netherworld we’re talking about. It is the complete opposite of the spiritual energy used by cultivators.
For practitioners, the evil energy of the Netherworld was like poison.
Song Shuhang, who was in the One With the Saber state, sensed the gaze of the stone tablet and even its inner thoughts to some extent.
He laughed and said, “Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, don’t be surprised. After all, I’m from the plant kingdom. Inhaling carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen are basic operations for me.”
“That makes sense.” The stone tablet was convinced by Song Shuhang.
Pavilion Master Chu: “…”
Just putting a wooden body under your head makes you part of the plant kingdom? Then, is my body that’s soaked in water all day long part of the fish kingdom?
While they were speaking, the evil energy of the Netherworld stopped flowing out of the spatial node, with the node shrinking and collapsing.
This happened due to the other party forcing the spatial node to self-destruct, lest Song Shuhang’s roots follow the spatial node and reach the source.
Song Shuhang said regretfully, “I thought I could absorb some more evil energy.”
The quality of this wave of evil energy was pretty great, and the Inner World was very satisfied with it.
After the countless lotus projection roots circled around the now-defunct node, they began to retreat slowly.
Song Shuhang reminded the stone tablet, “Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, be careful with this node.”
Since the evil energy of the Netherworld had appeared, they needed to be careful and take precautions.
Perhaps the culprit had other helpers who could open up new nodes.
“Yeah, I was thinking the same.” The stone tablet laughed.
Their minds were on the same wavelength.
With that said, it urged its suppressing power to cover the surrounding area, forming a personal domain.
It then said to Song Shuhang, “It’s done. Anyway, stop wasting time. Before your Inner World closes again, contact Black… Yo, you don’t understand my heart~ Ohohoho~”
Pavilion Master Chu: “…”
Song Shuhang: “…”
He silently gave Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet a thumbs up.
It had a strong desire to survive, just like him.
Song Shuhang’s primordial soul left his body and entered the Inner World.
At first, he wanted to directly send his wooden body or head into the Inner World, but the entrance turned out to be too small.
As such, he could only settle for the next best thing, letting his primordial soul enter and head to the world of the black lotus to seek Senior White Two’s assistance.
Song Shuhang’s primordial soul entered the Inner World, finding itself in the Palace of Winter.
He was not too far from the entrance to the world of the black lotus.
“I need to hurry up or the Inner World will close. If it closes before I leave, my primordial soul will be stranded in the Inner World,” Song Shuhang muttered to himself.
In the next moment, his primordial soul disappeared. Using his authority, he had moved to the entrance of the world of the black lotus.
At the entrance of the world of the black lotus, there was a patch of plants.
It was a type of spiritual plant that Song Shuhang had never seen before, and it did not seem to be from the main world.
Could it be that it’s a plant of the Netherworld Realm placed here by Senior White Two? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
At the same time, he got a strange feeling and turned his head at 6 o’clock, where he saw a familiar figure.
It was a handsome man. By simply standing there, he made the rest of the world lose its colors.
Senior White Two?
“Senior White, why are you here?” Song Shuhang asked in surprise.
Last time, didn’t you say that you were sealed and could not leave?
You said that neither your main body nor clone could move.
Senior White Two stood up and replied, “This is my ‘research clone.’ It has no combat power and is specially used for studying magical techniques, magical treasures, and technology.”
He put down the shovel in his hand.
In the grove under his feet, there was a big hole.
Senior White Two asked, “Shuhang, do you know how to become One With the Tablet?”
Song Shuhang laughed and said, “I do. I’m in that state right now.”
