Chapter 2004: Have you ever felt your heart being twisted?

Translator: GodBrandy 

Because of the serious atmosphere, Song Shuhang made sure to not let his thoughts go wild.

He was especially careful not to use the Expert’s Appraisal on the bodies of the Tribulation Transcenders; he was very serious in paying homage to the fallen Tribulation Transcenders.

Nevertheless, even if a tree did not want to move, the wind would still blow through and cause its branches to sway.

When he was paying homage, branches and flowers continued to emerge on Song Shuhang’s wooden body, swaying with the wind. No matter how serious the atmosphere was, its solemnity would be greatly diminished by the blooming flowers.

The fragrance of the flowers drifted through the world of the golden lotus, and their pollen seemed to have a hallucinogenic effect.

This hallucinogenic effect did not harm the human body and was very weak, so nobody really cared much.

However, as the fragrance of the flowers grew stronger and stronger, many of the disciples began having hallucinations.

The disciples saw righteous qi condense at the burial place of the Tribulation Transcenders.

Afterward, four men, which corresponded to the four Tribulation Transcenders, appeared

The four men held scriptures and zithers in their hands, practiced with their swords, or played the flute.

Together, they played music, recited poetry, danced, and discussed the way.

In addition, there were the phantoms of nine other figures with them.

“Is this an illusion?” True Monarch Eternal Fire rubbed his eyes.

He was infinitely close to the Venerable Realm, and he was even the administrator of the world of the golden lotus, yet he was not immune to this illusion.

If it’s an illusion, why does it feel so real?

Moreover, the contents of the discussion of the four Tribulation Transcenders seemed to be clear and sensible.

The eyes of the disciples were blurred. As they listened to the contents of the Tribulation Transcender’s discussion, there were many doubts in their hearts that were cleared. The parts of their cultivation techniques that they had difficulty comprehending were inexplicably cleared up, and they suddenly came to understand them.

All the disciples who participated in the funeral had entered a strange state. Their eyes were blurred, but their hearts were clear. Their brains were operating at high speeds, and their understanding of scholarly cultivation techniques, as well as their understanding of the human mind, rapidly improved.

This state lasted for about half an hour.

Suddenly, another gust of wind blew through the world of the golden lotus, and the pollen was blown away.

As the pollen dispersed, the images of the four scholarly men floating above the burial place also disappeared.

The virtuous lamia gently retracted the Sage’s eye, quietly returning to Song Shuhang’s body.

At the same time, Song Shuhang heard a soft whimpering sound coming from inside his body.

Is it Fairy Creation?

It was the same Fairy Creation who was usually very cheerful.

Her cries are filled with so much sorrow…

Song Shuhang looked at the burial place of the four Tribulation Transcenders, which had returned to its previous state.

Was that scene just now merely an illusion?

Or was it some message left by the Tribulation Transcenders’ bodies that had been activated and took form as a projection?

❄️❄️❄️

The funeral concluded.

Those that were present burst into tears, and the entire area was filled with sorrow.

Lady Onion was affected as well, and she cried uncontrollably.

Song Shuhang was not quite used to this kind of scene, so he quietly exited the world of the golden lotus with Senior White, Sixteen, and Senior Turtle.

This sad atmosphere, for some reason, touched his heart.

At times, he felt as if he were really a member of the scholarly faction, and at the loss of an important senior, he’d feel as if his heart was being twisted.

This was despite something like this never happening to him. Everyone around him was still alive and well.

But this feeling came from the depths of his heart, and he could not keep it from rising up and showing through.

When Sixteen saw that he was in low spirits, she flew to his side and stroked his head gently.

Song Shuhang closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling.

Song Shuhang said, “Senior White, Sixteen, Sister White Dragon.”

Senior White turned his head curiously. “Hmm?”

“When are we going to study the heavenly tribulation?” Song Shuhang said with determination. “Let’s research the heavenly tribulation thoroughly to make sure that all the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group can transcend their tribulation safely.”

“Okay,” Senior White replied. “We should still have a lot of those nuclear bombs I collected in stock. Next time we have the chance, let’s find a place where we can detonate them and study them carefully. After exiting my seclusion this time, I found the heavenly tribulation to be a lot more interesting. At the very least, it doesn’t seem as old-fashioned and static as before.”

Sixteen also smiled and nodded.

❄️❄️❄️

The sky grew darker, and the night completely set in.

Song Shuhang, Sixteen, and Senior Turtle floated in the sky above the scholarly faction.

Song Shuhang said, “Let’s go.”

He did not feel like saying goodbye to Senior Eternal Fire at this time. With the sorrowful atmosphere in the scholarly faction, it was quite difficult to say goodbye.

He decided that he would just give Senior Eternal Fire a call later.

He planned to leave the scholarly faction quietly and find a place with a good signal. Then, he would contact Fairy Blue Phoenix, who was in the Beast Realm.

“Shuhang, you haven’t collected your payment from the scholarly faction yet.” Lady Onion wiped her tears and said. After all, it was something that affected her future salary.

Shuhang was a pauper with no money. As a part-time worker who worked for him, she naturally felt anxious.

At that time, if her boss did not have the money to pay her wages, could she sell some of the goods inside the Inner World to make up for her lost money?

“Next time.” Song Shuhang smiled warmly and said, “I have a close relationship with the scholarly faction, so we’ll have many chances to ask for the payment. Moreover, it isn’t a great time to ask for payment.”

Anyhow, after receiving spirit stones, he would immediately have to pay the repair costs to Senior Ruler of Shadows.

But if the spirit stones were not received… Then the scholarly faction would always owe him spirit stones. In other words, he would have a considerable sum of money in his account! Theoretically speaking, he would not be penniless!

Song Shuhang gestured with his hand dashingly, and a small fruit grew out from a flower on his wooden body, letting out a fragrant smell.

Senior White sniffed, then his eyes became as sharp as a leopard’s on a hunt as they landed on Song Shuhang’s body.

Song Shuhang subconsciously wanted to escape on his saber.

“Little friend Shuhang~ Little friend Shuhang~ Wait!” At this moment, True Monarch Eternal Fire’s voice sounded from afar.

Behind True Monarch Eternal Fire, there was a group of disciples who were carrying large boxes.

Each large box exuded the fragrance of spirit stones.

Despite being something common, they felt very special to Shuhang’s eyes.

True Monarch Eternal Fire had carefully prepared these gifts for Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang subconsciously wanted to run faster. Once the scholarly faction paid back the money, all the spirit stones in his account would be gone.

Still, it would be too unreasonable for him to run at this time.

Song Shuhang turned around and faced True Monarch Eternal Fire. “Senior Eternal Fire, there’s no need to hurry. I don’t lack…”

When he was halfway through his words, the rest got stuck in his throat.

He just could not bear to say the words “I don’t lack spirit stones,” even if only to show a front.

He simply did not have the confidence to do so.

True Monarch Eternal Fire said, “It’s nothing much. No need to be shy.”

He clapped his hands and sent the boxes of spirit stones to Song Shuhang.

At the same time, True Monarch Eternal Fire took out his phone and said to Song Shuhang, “There, Shuhang. Take those boxes, and I’ll also send you a file. The file is relatively large, it’s 2 GB. It contains the ❮Saber Controlling Technique❯. I know that it’s something you’re lacking.”

Song Shuhang had learned a saber flying technique and a long-distance saber attack from Sixteen, but he did not have a saber controlling technique.

True Monarch Eternal Fire had given it much thought while preparing these gifts.
