Chapter 1733 Seniors, sit tight, I“m driving us out of here
Song Shuhang turned his head, and saw Doudou’s big face in its monster dog form.
“...” Song Shuhang sat up, not knowing whether he should laugh or cry. “Doudou, you should avoid staying on the Internet too much.”
Doudou stuck his tongue out, and contemptuously said, “Staying on the Internet? Haha, Shuhang, when I first came into contact with this knowledge, the Internet hadn’t even existed yet.”
Song Shuhang looked up at the sky, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, the virtuous lamia blinked her eyes behind him, and let out a weak and soft cry. “Nooo~”
“...” Song Shuhang.
Sigh, when the same words come out of Fairy ＠＃％×’s mouth, they become sensual even though they originally weren’t!
“Has the heavenly tribulation ended?” He tried changing the subject forcibly.
At the same time, his eyes patrolled around, looking for familiar figures.
Senior True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, still alive!
Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei, still alive!
Senior Copper Trigram, still alive!
The primordial souls of the other seniors from the group, Doudou, Soft Feather, and Little Yinzhu... everyone was safe.
Everyone was alive.
Song Shuhang heaved a sigh of relief as the huge boulder that had been pressing on his chest was finally lifted. The things from the dream hadn’t really happened, and the three seniors were all safe.
At this moment, he felt so happy that he almost cried.
He closed his eyes.
In the nightmare... The unwillingness and regret of the three seniors as they tried resisting with everything they had, but still failed to do so. Those scenes were deeply ingrained in his mind.
It was as if, at a certain instance, he had really lost the three seniors.
For such things, experiencing them once is more than enough—even if it only happened in a nightmare or due to an inner demon. Song Shuhang gently clenched his fist.
The nightmare this time was different from the ‘dreamlands’ he had experienced. The dreamlands focused on someone else’s life... but the nightmare that he just went through seemed to be his own experience.
He absolutely could never let anything like that happen.
Soft Feather, who was on Doudou’s back, craned her neck and curiously asked, “Senior Song, what terrible thing happened in your dream?”
Song Shuhang rubbed his face, calming his emotions. “I had a dream wherein during the heavenly tribulation, something bad happened to the primordial souls of several seniors. Then, I woke up.”
Soft Feather looked disappointed, and said, “Senior Song, your nightmare is so ordinary. I thought it was something more fun.”
Doudou remarked, “I still think that it was a sensual dream.”
“...” Song Shuhang.
Doudou, can you stop bringing up the word “sensual”?
“By the way, where’s Lady Onion?” Song Shuhang changed the subject again.
Doudou replied, “Behind you.”
As soon as Song Shuhang turned around, he saw the enlightenment stone and... the withered Lady Onion.
“Huh? What happened to Lady Onion? Why did she wither like this?” Song Shuhang quickly raised the enlightenment stone, and used several ‘healing techniques’ on Lady Onion.
Fairy Dongfang Six’s primordial soul leaned over. “Don’t worry, your little monster onion is okay. I have already checked her, and she’s just consumed too much energy. After she recovers a bit, she can simply take some supplements, and she’ll be back to perfect health in no time. This time, we all owe her our gratitude.”
When everyone in the group recovered from having their five senses stolen and their divine senses suppressed, they discovered that they had been entangled by Lady Onion’s onion sprouts and shrouded by Song Shuhang’s smoky body.
Seeing this scene, everyone had been able to guess what happened—they owed Lady Onion and Shuhang a favor.
After that, the smoky Song Shuhang returned to his human form, and fell unconscious. As for Lady Onion, her onion sprouts all withered, and she reverted to her green onion form.
“Everything is fine.” Song Shuhang let out a breath of relief after hearing Fairy Dongfang Six’s words. He placed Lady Onion back into his size-reducing purse, and stored the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber inside as well.
Song Shuhang raised his head, and said, “The heavenly tribulation is over, right?”
The tribulation clouds had disappeared, and there were no signs of them recondensing. The Group Tribulation Transcension Space had become a white world again, filled with emptiness.
“Yes, the heavenly tribulation is over.” Venerable Yellow Mountain’s primordial soul smiled. “We’re all fine, but there’s still a small problem.”
“A small problem?” Song Shuhang stood up, and said, “Wait, since the heavenly tribulation is over, shouldn’t we have been sent out?”
Venerable Yellow Mountain said, “That’s the small problem I was referring to... It’s been a while since the heavenly tribulation has ended, but we haven’t been transferred out of the ‘Tribulation Transcension Space’.”
“!!!” Song Shuhang.
Fairy Lychee said, “We suspect that it might be related to the fact that this Tribulation Transcension Space is a semi-finished product. Perhaps it still doesn’t have the function of sending those who have transcended their tribulation out of it...”
After all, even the tribulation lightning was initially locked out of this place.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “It’s the same as leaving someone for dead without checking.”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said, “If it’s a bug, it might be fixed in a while. It might just be like the heavenly tribulation previously, where it had been able to come in after some time.”
“Speaking of which, I keep on getting the feeling that I died during the heavenly tribulation.” True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple squeezed his chin, and said, “I thought that I was going to die for sure and started regretting not leaving a will. And there was also that set of ‘Prestige Pill’ ingredients that I had yet to refine.”
Song Shuhang’s heart violently thumped...
Dharma King Creation smiled, and said, “Do you not regret anything else? For example, in that regard?”
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple responded, “Hehehe, that’s the main reason why I’m already in the Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm, while you’re still stuck in the Fifth Stage.”
Dharma King Creation said, “F*ck you, do you have to rend my heart like that?”
Su Clan’s Seven guessed, “I feel that the reason Fellow Daoist Ancient Lake Temple feels this way is that you have touched the ‘heavenly tribulation brilliance’ directly. That might have left some kind of trauma.”
True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple nodded. “That might indeed be the case.”
Immortal Master Copper Trigram, who was sitting across Northern River and resting her cheeks in her hands, said, “Actually... I feel the same way as he does. I feel as if I died in that heavenly tribulation.”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator asked, “Can you not take such a girly pose?”
Immortal Master Copper Trigram made an orchid seal with her fingers, and said with Fairy Lychee’s voice, “How annoying~ I will forever be an 18-year-old girl~”
“Copper Trigram, go die!” Fairy Lychee stepped forward, grabbed Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s ankle, lifted her up, and prepared to use the big windmill.
“Fairy, wait, let me turn around first,” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator shouted. “That shady fortune teller is currently wearing a skirt, so if you spin him around like a windmill, I feel that the scene will hurt my eyes.”
“...” Fairy Lychee.
Now that you’ve said that, how am I supposed to happily spin him around like a windmill?
Soft Feather asked, “Senior Song, you look quite distracted.”
Song Shuhang shook his head slightly. “I’m thinking about something.”
Immortal Master Copper Trigram pressed down her skirt with both hands, and said cheerfully, “Nevertheless... the fact that we were all lucky enough to survive is something worth celebrating.”
After using a skill on a cultivator, when you used the same skill on them a second time, it was likely that it’d no longer be effective. And that went for this big windmill! As such, Copper Trigram was fearless.
“Indeed, I want to celebrate.” Song Shuhang nodded slightly, and then he suddenly remembered something. “Right, Fairy Lychee. According to my personal experience... a primordial soul can be crumpled into dumplings!”
“???” Fairy Lychee.
Song Shuhang made a rubbing action with his hands. “You do this, and that should be able to turn the primordial soul into a ball. It’s a very uncomfortable feeling, so you could try that. I’ve experienced it myself!”
Immortal Master Copper Trigram asked, “Little Friend Shuhang, have I offended you recently?”
“Become a dumpling, Copper Trigram!” Fairy Lychee started trying to make a dumpling out of her.
“This is a celebration, Senior Copper Trigram.” Song Shuhang smiled, and emphasized, “It is a celebration.”
It was to celebrate everyone’s safety.
Fairy Dongfang Snow raised her hand, and exclaimed, “Speaking of celebration, Senior Yellow Mountain, I have a suggestion!”
Venerable Yellow Mountain looked at Fairy Dongfang Snow. “Besides singing, you can suggest anything.”
Fairy Dongfang Snow sat down with a look of disappointment on her face. “If that’s the case, then I have no suggestions.”
“...” Venerable Yellow Mountain.
Fairy, do you really want us to sing? Did you forget that Dharma King Creation is still around? Do you want everyone here to die?
Cave Lord Snow Wolf said, “If it’s a celebration... Senior Yellow Mountain, after we leave this ‘Tribulation Transcension Space’, let’s have a banquet! To celebrate the conclusion of our collective tragedy.”
The topics jumped very quickly. One second they were still discussing the bugs of the ‘Tribulation Transcension Space’, and the next second they suddenly jumped to having a banquet.
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but say, “Then... how about we go to my restaurant to celebrate?”
This was just the right time to advertise his own restaurant.
Chu Chu, his disciple, had been practicing ‘immortal chef techniques’ for a few days now... so why not give her cooking skills a try?
Besides, Lady Kunna has a batch of great wine. I wonder if I could buy some from her...
Venerable Yellow Mountain smiled, and said, “Alright, let’s set the location to be little friend Shuhang’s restaurant. At that time, don’t hesitate to bring good things with you. Let’s have a long banquet wherein nobody goes home sober.”
After conversing for a long time...
The topic had returned to ‘getting out of the Tribulation Transcension Space’.
This was because everyone discovered that it was as if the ‘Tribulation Transcension Space’ had forgotten about them.
A good amount of time had passed, yet there were still no signs of them being sent out.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber remarked, “Hey, could it be that since we were all able to tenaciously survive during the ‘Invisible Death Tribulation’, the tribulation fell into a bad mood? And because of that, maybe it has shut us in this space, intending to leave us here until the end of time.”
“The heavenly tribulation doesn’t have such emotions,” Young Master Phoenix Slayer said.
Soft Feather suggested, “Maybe we have to wait for the ‘Tribulation Transcension Space’ to be perfected and evolve into a ‘finished product’ before we can leave?”
Bored out of his mind, Doudou said, “But how long is that going to take?”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said, “Perhaps 10 days, half a month, or 180 years, who knows?”
Doudou yelled, “Chu Chu, my Chu Chu~ After 180 years, several of my Chu Chus would have died.”
“...” Venerable Yellow Mountain.
Doudou was a puppy he’d brought up himself, but he really didn’t know when his ‘Chu Chu Complex’ had developed.
At this time, the Dragon Network Assistant also recovered.
“I might have a way,” Song Shuhang said. “Seniors, sit tight, I’m driving us out of here.”
Song Shuhang put away the two sets of combined magical treasures.
He picked up Little Yinzhu, and added, “Destination, Black Dragon World... Sage Space.”
