2119 Space and the Divine Weapon Appraisal
Did Senior White’s inscription on the spirit of the stone tablet imply that some kind of authority had been granted to them?
Was there some new ability that they had gained?
Song Shuhang’s primordial soul and Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet’s spirit looked at each other through the soil and smiled knowingly.
The demonic hamster was now sweating profusely. After several routines, it stopped dancing in satisfaction.
“How about burning some incense?” asked the orangutan general.
The mirage dragon said, “Let’s burn some.”
After all, they were here visiting a grave.
The demonic hamster flipped its robe handsomely and said, “But we did not bring any incense sticks.”
“Use my branches. It just so happens that some of my branches have aged and need to be replaced,” said the monster tree with a beautiful face. She shook herself, and a batch of old branches fell off her body.
In the meantime, Song Shuhang, who was underneath the ground, learned a new skill.
After a few minutes, the demonic hamster, the orangutan general, and the mirage dragon inserted “incense sticks” into Song Shuhang’s grave and lit them.
Since the “incense” came from the branches of a monster tree, it lingered for quite a long time after being lit.
The demonic hamster clasped its hands together and said, “№ Tyrannical Song, on this day next year, I will come over to tend to your grave.”
Song Shuhang’s voice sounded from underneath the ground. “Don’t bother with it.”
How could I possibly be in this grave this same day next year?
“My master said that he’s going to bury you here again on this day next year to celebrate,” the demonic hamster added. “So, on this day next year, I will come to dance and burn incense for you again.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
The stone tablet: “…”
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet wanted to laugh at first but realized that if Song Shuhang was going to get captured and buried again next year, it would have to act as his gravestone. Because of that, it didn’t like laughing anymore.
They were both in the same boat. If one prospers, they both prosper; if one fails, they both fail.
“See you next year.” The demonic hamster waved its paw and went back to the world of the black lotus.
“Live well.” The mirage dragon also pulled itself away and left.
“A burial today, a resurrection tomorrow. Don’t despair,” said the orangutan general as it patted the gravestone.
The beautiful-faced monster tree simply smiled and did not say anything.

After Senior White Two’s pets left, the stone tablet sighed heavily.
Song Shuhang, who was under the grave, also sighed. “I thought I was going to die for real.”
“Me too,” the stone tablet said. “For the time being, we need to control our mouths.”
Song Shuhang said, “I agree.”
I did not expect Senior White Two to have something like research clones. I need to be more careful in the future.
After a few more minutes.
“Well, little friend Song, when are we leaving?” the stone tablet’s spirit asked. “Given the time, the exit of the Inner World should be closing soon, right?”
“How about right now?” Song Shuhang’s primordial soul emerged from the ground.
He was a primordial soul right now, so it was easy for him to pass through objects.
As such, he could naturally escape from the graveyard.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet said, “Can’t you leave your grave normally? You just floated out of your grave like a ghost. That shocked me.”
“Come on, we’re cultivators. Why would we be afraid of ghosts?” Song Shuhang’s primordial soul patted the non-existent soil on his body and then said, “Besides, is there even an ordinary way to get out of a grave?”
The stone tablet shook slightly and said, “Now that you say that, you do have a point.”
Pavilion Master Chu: “…”
Song Shuhang said, “Let’s go. We should leave the Inner World quickly.”
If they stayed here any longer, the Inner World would really clo—
Song Shuhang shouted, “F*ck!”
The stone tablet asked, “What happened?”
“The Inner World just closed,” Song Shuhang said with a stifled heart. “There was a fist-sized spatial exit until a moment ago, but it suddenly closed.”
The stone tablet “looked” at the sky.
Little friend Song, you’re really a troublemaker
Song Shuhang asked, “Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, what do we do?”
“You ask me, but who am I supposed to ask? I don’t know either.” The stone tablet felt that it was evolving. It felt as if it had a heart now, since it felt very stifled.
“Right, Senior Chu…” Song Shuhang suddenly remembered the strand of hair on the top of his head.
Pavilion Master Chu’s main body was in the Inner World.
Relying on her strength as an Immortal, she could probably forcibly open a spatial passage between the Inner World and Garre Holy Mountain’s trial area.
“I’m sorry, the Senior Chu you’re trying to call is taking a nap.” A robotic voice came from Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Pavilion Master Chu was obviously still angry, likely because he used her hair as a sword earlier.
With this being the case, Song Shuhang could only look for alternatives.
He said via voice transmission, “Senior Turtle, can you help me open a passage between the Inner World and Garre Holy Mountain?”
“Heavens~ Shuhang, I don’t have such power,” Senior Turtle replied via voice transmission.
Even if its strength had not been sealed by the Great Northern Emperor, it was just a normal Tribulation Transcender. It had no way of breaking through the spatial confinement of Garre Holy Mountain’s trial area.
In its current state, it was naturally much less capable of doing such a thing since its strength was only at the Eighth Stage Realm.
What do I do then?
Should I go back to the world of the black lotus and look for Senior White Two?
But what if I get buried again?
Song Shuhang raised his head and looked up at the sky.
The stone tablet accompanied him.
“It looks like we’re on our own,” said the stone tablet.
“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing,” Song Shuhang said. “It seems that people can only rely on themselves in the end.”
This was the result of everything he did earlier.
The stone tablet said passionately, “Little friend Song, let’s try once again with the One With the Tablet state!”
Song Shuhang said, “Let’s change… the words a bit. I feel like I’m becoming a little allergic to the name ‘One With the Tablet’.”
The stone tablet paused slightly and said, “Me too. What do we use then?”
“One With the Saber?” Song Shuhang suggested.
“You’re the saber!” the stone tablet retorted angrily. “I suggest Tablet With the Saber.”
Song Shuhang accepted it without making a fuss, “Okay, then the ‘Tablet With the Saber’ it is. Anyway, it’s just a name.”
Song Shuhang’s primordial soul and the stone tablet’s spirit resonated.
The two entered the Tablet With the Saber state.
Song Shuhang willed it, and the Inner World Assistant appeared between Song Shuhang and the stone tablet to assist them.
Song Shuhang said, “I can sense it, the space element…”
The stone tablet said, “Very good, let’s move on to the next step then. We need to find a way to form a connection with my main body and break the spatial confinement of the trial area again! Try any space-related means that you have.”
Song Shuhang muttered, “I’ll try. Inner World Assistant, prepare to open an exit out of the Inner World.”
The stone tablet suddenly called out, “Wait, what are you doing? My body feels a little cold.”
Song Shuhang said, “It’s the ❮Divine Weapon Appraisal❯, a spatial technique that I recently mastered. Rest assured, this is different from the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯, it is not a weird technique.”
This was also the only secret technique related to “space” that he knew.
He still had the ❮Universe Hiding Sleeve❯ that Senior White gave him, but he didn’t know how to use it.
The stone tablet said, “Eh? It seems to be working. A spatial passage is being opened.”
“I can also feel it. Things are going well.” Song Shuhang laughed. He then stretched out his hand to explore the void.
His palm directly passed through the Inner World, and then grabbed a familiar saber handle.
It was his treasured saber Broken Tyrant.
