Chapter 1828: Kneading the heavenly tribulation into long strips
At this moment, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s voice sounded. “It’s fine. There’s no longer a need to deliberately avoid these three bolts of tribulation lightning. Even if you make contact with them, you don’t have to worry about getting involved in Su Kongyun’s heavenly tribulation.”
These three bolts of tribulation lightning were already considered to have been blocked by Su Kongyun as evidenced by the next wave of the heavenly tribulation already charging up.
In other words, they were just an aftermath of the process now.
This was only a Third Stage heavenly tribulation, making it vastly different from heavenly tribulations of higher stages which had human-like traits, and would chase after the cultivator even after being blocked.
The Third Stage heavenly tribulation was similar to a bow and arrow—once it had shot out its ammunition, that was the end of it. Whether the cultivator blocked the tribulation lightning, destroyed it, or endured it with their flesh, it made no difference.
Of course… if it were a variant Third Stage heavenly tribulation, then it would indeed be different.
However, Su Kongyun’s heavenly tribulation was an ordinary Third Stage heavenly tribulation. His heavenly tribulation had not mutated.
Meanwhile, the three bolts of tribulation lightning that had been bounced away by Su Kongyun’s ‘turtle shell’ passed through the barrier of the tribulation-transcending formation and continued to shoot towards the location where Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen originally had been.
Other than helping one to face the heavenly tribulation head-on, the tribulation-transcending formation also had illusory formations and basic defensive barriers on its periphery to prevent other cultivators from accidentally straying into the heavenly tribulation’s range. Besides that, the formation also reduced the strength of the ‘stray bullets’ from the heavenly tribulation… At critical times, this peripheral barrier could save lives.
Song Shuhang asked, “In other words, these bolts of tribulation lightning can be sealed?”
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword responded, “Yes, but only if you have the means.”
It remembered that for the Braised Heavenly Tribulation, the Third Stage tribulation lightning needed to have the shape of long strips.
While they were speaking, the three bolts of tribulation lightning had already passed the barrier of the tribulation-transcending formation and arrived in front of Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand without hesitation, grasping the three lightning bolts in the air. With the help of his psychic energy, the three lightning bolts were forcibly stopped in place, the sound of crackling spreading from them.
This psychic energy developed by Senior White Two truly was useful, and also very easy to use.
Su Kongyun, who was transcending his tribulation, glanced at Song Shuhang with a puzzled look on his face. Why had Profound Sage Tyrannical Song taken hold of the tribulation lightning that he bounced away?
“Now, onto the next step,” Song Shuhang said softly. “I need to have it in long strips.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked suspiciously, “Shuhang, are you making a special magical treasure?”
For most cultivators, the heavenly tribulation was deadly, and they wished to avoid it at all costs. Besides, it dealt bonus damage against cultivators.
Every now and then, there were some daring cultivators who would desire this bonus damage and tried to seal the power of the heavenly tribulation into a magical treasure to use against other cultivators. Although it was something that could usually only be used once, it had astounding effects when it did come into play.
“No, I’m not forging a magical treasure.” Song Shuhang laughed, and said, “These are ingredients.”
“???” Su Clan’s Sixteen.
She leaned over to Song Shuhang, sniffing him lightly. “Are you drunk too?”
Song Shuhang still had a faint smell of alcohol on his body.
“Although I drank a bit, I shouldn’t be drunk,” Song Shuhang said. “I’ll store away these bolts of tribulation lightning for now. When the time comes, I’ll make you a ❮Braised Heavenly Tribulation❯.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen smiled, and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you to prepare it.”
Whether Song Shuhang was drunk or if he was really going to braise the heavenly tribulation, she found it all very interesting.
“Hehe.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand towards the three lightning bolts and kneaded them. “Come on, turn into long strips.”
He mobilized his psychic energy, and rubbed the three bolts of tribulation lightning between his palms.
I wonder if I’ll be able to knead these lightning bolts into long strips…
At the same time, he tried to contact Senior White through his clone and the QR Code Golden Core Composition. Among the people he knew, Senior White was the one with the most experience in sealing heavenly tribulations.
Also, I wonder how Senior White is doing against the Ninth Stage heavenly tribulation…
Does he have the time to reply to me?
As Song Shuhang rubbed his palms together, the three bolts of Third Stage tribulation lightning were really rubbed into long strips. The psychic energy developed by Senior White Two was extremely practical.
At the same time, Senior White, who was transcending the Ninth Stage heavenly tribulation, also replied to Song Shuhang.
He did not directly contact Song Shuhang, but instead replied through Song Shuhang’s clone that Song Shuhang had left with him in the heavenly tribulation.
[Why are you looking for me?] asked Senior White.
His voice was transmitted through the connection between Song Shuhang’s clone and the main body.
Song Shuhang asked, [Senior White, how is your tribulation going right now? I wanted to ask you some questions, would that be fine?]
Senior White replied in a soft voice, [Right now, the transcension is going pretty well. The power of the heavenly tribulation is rising steadily and slowly… To be honest, it’s rising a bit too steadily and I’m a little bored. I was just thinking about whether or not to take this time to close up for a while. Anyway, what did you want to ask?]
“…” Song Shuhang.
Going into seclusion during the Thousand Days Tribulation of the Ninth Stage heavenly tribulation? If Senior Melon Eater was next to him and heard this, he would definitely begin crying his eyes out.
Song Shuhang said, [Senior White, I want to seal a Third Stage heavenly tribulation. Do you know of a ‘quick’ sealing technique that you can teach me on the spot?]
In the past, Senior White had imparted him with magical techniques such as the ❮Lightning Palm❯ and ❮Turtle Breathing Technique❯. These versions that were imparted to him were simplified in a way that as long as you drew a rune and activated it with spiritual energy, you would be able to easily and quickly use the magical technique.
[You want to seal a heavenly tribulation? What for? Don’t you still have a batch of heavenly tribulation missiles? If you don’t have enough, I can seal a batch of the weapons the Ninth Stage heavenly tribulation is using and bring them back to you.] While speaking of sealing the heavenly tribulation and bringing it back for fun, Senior White regained some vibrancy.
Song Shuhang replied, [No, there’s no need for that. I actually want to try making a ❮Braised Heavenly Tribulation❯. I got the recipe for it in the Life Menu of a Demon Emperor. One of the steps to making it is to seal the heavenly tribulation.]
[Braised Heavenly Tribulation? Is it a dish?] asked Senior White.
Song Shuhang replied, [Yes.]
Senior White was puzzled. [You can eat the heavenly tribulation?]
[According to the preparation method listed on the menu, it should be edible after being braised.] Song Shuhang was actually not 100% sure himself.
Senior White’s voice became cheerful, and his entire person seemed to have become full of energy. [Wait for me. I will send a clone over to assist you.]
After a while, a cold light flashed 100 meters away from Song Shuhang.
It was Senior White’s disposable flying sword, the one that could traverse any space.
On the flying sword, a Senior White’s clone with facial paralysis could be seen. His hands were in his cuffs as he was teleported over. The flying sword swiftly moved towards Song Shuhang.
Once it was a few meters away from him, it suddenly braked.
Senior White’s clone glanced at Su Clan’s Sixteen. “Little Sixteen, it seems that you’ve made great progress recently. Not bad.”
After saying that, he looked at the three bolts of tribulation lightning.
“These are what you need to seal?” asked Senior White’s clone.
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Yes. When sealing them, make sure to keep them in strips and not deform them. This is very important.”
“Sure.” Senior White’s clone stepped out, instantly appearing beside those three bolts of tribulation lightning. He then stretched out his hand and patted them, quickly sealing them..
