Chapter 2292 - 2292 Heavens, What Have I Done?
2292 Heavens, What Have I Done?
“Dark sorcery,” the hamster on the side said with a groan. It had taken him half the night to recover from the pain of the seal’s backlash.
But Tyrannical Song was like a beast; he could easily endure this level of pain. He had been only slightly affected and took most of the night to recover.
“You’re grinding that ‘Saber Nurturing Technique’ like it’s a videogame!” the gorilla general sitting nearby couldn’t help but comment. It had never seen anyone so frantically casting the same spell over and over.
The sealing pillar was already ablaze.
“Yeah, how are you going to convey your ‘love’ by grinding the Saber Nurturing Technique like this? Is your ‘love’ equivalent to 200 action beats per second?” the hamster agreed.
The hamster had a vague understanding of Song Shuhang’s Saber Nurturing Technique and knew that this technique required the user to infuse the target with ‘love.’
Song Shuhang was currently moving 24 palms at lightning speed.
“Bizarre Black!” Song Shuhang shouted.
In the next moment, his ‘hair palms’ exploded. They couldn’t withstand the high-intensity, continuous spellcasting and burst into strands of hair.
The pitch-black metal covering Song Shuhang and the ghost spirit’s hands turned red. It was as if they were burning iron.
“This is my limit.” Song Shuhang sighed and took a step back.
The sealing pillar once again emitted a defensive lightning barrier.
However, the seven-colored light on the pillar didn’t fade. It continued to flicker gently and gave Song Shuhang a sense of familiarity.
Had the material of the sealing pillar changed?
The fat ball had used a pseudo-immortality bone as a cost to create this sealing pillar. It had been specifically designed for Senior White Two.
Its source was the pseudo-immortality bone.
Now, under the influence of Song Shuhang’s Saber Nurturing Technique, the sealing pillar had evolved.
“It worked. As long as this seven-colored light doesn’t fade, we can try again tonight. After a few days, we might just crack it!” Song Shuhang put away the ghost spirit’s hands and expressed his satisfaction.
“Yes, there have indeed been changes.” Senior White Two gently tapped the sealing pillar’s surface and said, “I can clearly sense that the seal has evolved. It has become stronger and more robust. In the past, I could forcefully break the seal in five-thousand years. Now, I wouldn’t be able to do it in twice the time.”
The hamster stared at him suspiciously.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
General Gorilla was shocked. “What have you done, Tyrannical Song?!”
“Wait, something doesn’t seem right,” Song Shuhang stepped forward and tapped on the sealing pillar.
The sealing pillar gave him a sense of intimacy.
“It’s fine. I had already suspected this might happen.” Senior White yawned and said, “Your Saber Nurturing Technique has the ability to stimulate magical treasures. It allows them to evolve when stimulated. As long as the magical item has potential, it can be nurtured by your Blade Nurturing Technique. Isn’t it natural for the sealing pillar to evolve and become stronger after receiving your nurturing?”
Song Shuhang patted the sealing pillar reluctantly. “So, have I done more harm than good, inadvertently?”
“Don’t worry, all these years are the same to me. It’s all just a matter of sleeping. Plus, the evolved sealing pillar is more comfortable to sleep on. Sleepiness keeps creeping up. The comfort level is ten times that of the big cocoon and five times that of the old sealing pillar,” Senior White Two spoke. His voice gradually fell soft.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already fallen into a deep slumber.
Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.
In this case, his all-night effort seemed meaningless.
In fact, it might even prolong Senior White Two’s release.
Ten millenia meant nothing to Senior White Two, but the outside world would undoubtedly have undergone immense changes in that time.
“Since there have been changes… Why don’t you do me a favor and open a backdoor?” Song Shuhang suggested as he touched the sealing pillar. It felt oddly familiar.
“No. Tyrannical Song had finally lost his mind,” the demonic hamster muttered softly.
The gorilla general chimed in, “On this day, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song finally couldn’t endure the situation and started conversing with a ‘seal’… Heavens!”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the sealing pillar that had originally bound Senior White Two actually opened a small backdoor.
The fist-sized opening was situated at the lowest corner of the seal.
“It’s open, it’s really open! My Lord, wake up! The seal has opened a backdoor!” the hamster exclaimed.
However, Senior White Two was already sleeping soundly within the sealing pillar. No one could wake him.
“The size of this opening is just right for the hamster to enter,” Little Sun T233’s voice sounded at this moment and offered a reminder.
“That’s right. I’ll go in and awaken the Hegemon.” the hamster leaped up and rushed toward the fist-sized opening.
When its body made contact with the opening, an electric net enveloped it.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak ~” The hamster screamed and fell to the ground. Its once-beautiful fur was now charred black.
Song Shuhang hurriedly reached out to pick it up and moved it away from the sealing pillar.
“No, even though the sealing pillar has a backdoor, it doesn’t allow others to enter,” the gorilla general said while furrowing its brow.
Song Shuhang contemplated for a moment and said, “There’s no other choice. I’m the only one who can enter.”
He first produced a ‘Sage-Sealed Wooden Saber’ and placed it outside the sealing pillar. Then, he retrieved the ‘Disposable Flying Sword, Small Black Room-Breaking Edition’ that Senior White had left for him.
“Could Tyrannical Song actually shrink his body?” the gorilla general asked in astonishment while looking at Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
I don’t know how to shrink my body. I’ve truly let you down.
“Can’t he? Haha, that’s more like it,” the gorilla general deduced from Song Shuhang’s obvious reaction.
“I can’t shrink my body, but I do have a more practical method,” Song Shuhang said calmly.
In the next moment, his body transformed into a wisp of black smoke.
His body of smoke condensed into a fist-sized sphere and rolled toward the sealing pillar’s backdoor.
The smoke sphere entered the sealing pillar.
Sure enough, the sealing pillar, which had been resisting Song Shuhang the entire night due to the Saber Nurturing Technique, no longer resisted him.
Once Song Shuhang entered the sealing pillar, the ‘backdoor’ swiftly closed.
“Wait, don’t be in such a hurry to close it. Let me awaken Senior White first, then you can close it,” Song Shuhang called out.
However, this time, the sealing pillar’s backdoor did not reopen.
Song Shuhang had a foreboding feeling.
In the worst-case scenario, he and Senior White Two would be trapped inside the ‘sealing pillar.’
“Wake up my master first,” the gorilla general reminded him.
Song Shuhang was still in his smokey form. He nodded.
He approached Senior White Two and stretched out his hand to slap him.
Senior White Two was in a deep sleep. He casually waved his hand, and the smoke Song Shuhang had turned into was shattered.
The smoke exploded and enveloped the entire sealing pillar. It was dyed pitch-black.
The gorilla general fell speechless.
