Chapter 2074 - 2074 Demon Emperor Hezhi's scheme
2074 Demon Emperor Hezhi’s scheme
Let’s cut through the Gordian knot with a saber!
Moreover, by using the technique on the main body of the pseudo-dragon-pearl, he could skip the spiritual world segment, and so he would not have to go through a plot like the classroom full of Sixteens.
It was simple and crude, but very effective.
Song Shuhang’s love was gathered and poured into the mirage dragon’s pearl through the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯.
After the pseudo-dragon-pearl got a taste of the technique, its body shone slightly.
It seemed to work!
However, it was nowhere near enough.
Sure enough, it’s going to take more than a single usage of the technique, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Shuhang put his left and right hands together, alternating them in casting the technique.
In the second dantian’s Spirit lake, love-filled rays of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ flashed nonstop.
After using the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ nearly thirty times, the mirage dragon’s pseudo-dragon-pearl was finally activated.
At the same time, thirty-three magical treasures appeared. This time, it was a projection of the second set of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure. Similar to what had taken place in the previous dantian, it began to gather beside the pseudo-dragon-pearl and eventually turned into the Holy Sword of the End.
The sword acted like a shell.
The Lake Soul, [The World-Ending Holy Sword], floated up and branded itself onto the pseudo-dragon-pearl, causing the pearl to evolve.
Now, the final step, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
A powerful suction force came from the Holy Sword of the End, sucking up all the spirit lake water below.
At this time, the water in the second Spirit Lake was around one-tenth of its normal value.
When the first Spirit Lake was condensing a Nascent Soul Fetus earlier, it sucked water from the other Spirit Lakes a total of seven times, draining all of their energy.
Now, even if the energy in the other Spirit Lakes and the Original Spirit Lake were to be combined, the second dantian would, at most, only be able to suck their water once.
However, Song Shuhang decided not to proceed. The energy in the other Spirit Lakes was needed to maintain the normal operations of his body, as well as to speed up the recovery of his spiritual energy.
Moreover, he had another reserve of energy that was equivalent to a Spirit Lake.
As he willed it, pure spiritual energy poured out from the ghost spirit hidden deep inside his body into his second Spirit Lake.
Ghost spirits were like huge cheats for cultivators. They automatically purified the spiritual energy inside a cultivator’s body, increased the rate of recovery, and the spiritual energy that they stored could be used during critical times.
As the spiritual energy of the ghost spirit came pouring in, the water in the second dantian’s Spirit Lake swiftly filled up.
At this time, even the ghost spirit only had 10% of its spiritual energy left.
Song Shuhang said, “Almost there.”
“Fwoo~”
The water in the overflowing second Spirit Lake was all drawn into the Holy Sword of the End, nourishing the pseudo-dragon-pearl and creating a second Nascent Soul Fetus.
At the same time that this happened, a feeling of emptiness resurfaced in Song Shuhang’s body.
Ever since he had gotten his seven small dantians, this was the first time that he had been drained of energy so thoroughly, to the point that even his ghost spirit’s energy was depleted.
Next, I’ll need to enter a state of meditation to recover my spiritual energy, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Under normal circumstances, for something like recovering spiritual energy, it was fine if he just slept and relied on his ghost spirit to do all the work.
However, he had used too much energy today, so he decided to join his ghost spirit in recovering spiritual energy.
❄️❄️❄️
And so, Song Shuhang sat cross-legged and started meditating. After adjusting his state, he began circulating the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯.
The virtuous lamia took out some pills for spiritual energy recovery from Song Shuhang’s magical bracelet. Fairy Creation opened Song Shuhang’s mouth, and the virtuous lamia threw the pills into his mouth.
Most of these medicinal pills were of the Fifth Stage and some of the Sixth Stage, and they were part of Song Shuhang’s loot.
For Song Shuhang, the amount of spiritual energy that these medicinal pills could restore was already quite small, but it was still better than nothing.
In the meantime, the black-skinned Soft Feather pulled out several spirit stones from the corners of Song Shuhang’s magical bracelet.
Back when the scholarly faction had given Song Shuhang spirit stones, most of them were transferred to the Inner World, waiting to be used to pay off his debts. Only a few were stuffed into his magic bracelet due to their poor quality.
The black-skinned Soft Feather rummaged through the spirit stones. Afterward, she grabbed them and pressed them against Song Shuhang’s face.
Normally, she would have placed these spirit stones in Song Shuhang’s hands so that he could practice while extracting their energy in order to speed up the recovery of his own spiritual energy. But as Song Shuhang only had his head left, the black-skinned Soft Feather could only stick the spirit stones to his face, hoping that Song Shuhang could absorb their energy while practicing.
The divine dragon said, “It seems that his energy has been depleted. How many dragon pearls has he handled already?”
“Just one.” Sixteen and Sister White Dragon had already switched their half-bodies. Sixteen replied with her face buried in her knees.
Sister White Dragon petted her head lightly.
The divine dragon said, “If he has to meditate every time he deals with a dragon pearl, then he’s going to be taking quite a while to be done with everything.”
Senior White thought for a while and took out a bottle of Seventh Stage medicinal pills, throwing it at the virtuous lamia. Song Shuhang had already reached the Tenth Heavenly Layer, also known as the Super VIP Sixth Stage Realm, so it was much better for him to use the same medicinal pills that Seventh Stage Venerables used.
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Shuhang’s spiritual energy is recovering relatively fast.”
With the help of his ghost spirit, Sage Seals, light of virtue, Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Combined Magical Treasure, and seven small dantians, the speed at which he recovered spiritual energy was actually extraordinary.
Sister White Dragon said, “However, his storage capacity is also much larger than that of normal cultivators of the same realm.”
The black-skinned Soft Feather asked, “Are there ways to quickly restore Senior Song’s spiritual energy?”
Senior White said, “There will be negative consequences, so it’s better to not use them.”
❄️❄️❄️
Back in the main world, in the Infernal Realm.
In a certain corner of this world of demonic cultivators, a new calamitous forbidden area appeared not too long ago.
All the creatures that stepped into this forbidden area were turned into dry corpses, and their body and soul were completely obliterated.
This kind of thing was normal in the Infernal Realm.
The living environment here has been extremely bad ever since ancient times. Every part of this small world was an active volcano that could erupt and become a forbidden area at any moment.
Deep inside this new forbidden area, demonic god pillars made of stone had emerged one after the other, appearing to be arranged in the pattern of a large formation.
There was a tall figure covered in blood inside the formation who slowly opened his eyes.
This was a being who used to rule over demons and was recorded in some ancient books of the demonic cultivation forces—Demon Emperor Hezhi.
Beside this tall figure, there was a clone, who said calmly, “The energy accumulated in this body has already reached the peak of the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm. It’s almost there.”
Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon, it’s time for you to pay the price.
There was a hideous look on the face of the clone.
[Beep~ Do you want to transfer all your energy to Profound Sage Tyrannical Song? Y/N.]
[Yes! This is my will, and I transfer it all to him.]
Explode and die, Tyrannical Song!
