Chapter 2176: A heart lacking substance
If the background music was too loud, the people watching the speech would not be able to hear the content.
Song Shuhang nodded in understanding. He stretched out his hand, and the booming of thunder was greatly reduced.
As the sound of thunder weakened, the energy that Song Shuhang needed to maintain the illusory reality decreased as well.
Of course, this extra energy could not be wasted.
After some thought, he decided to use it on the light brought about by the lightning.
Thus, the heavenly and demonic lightning in the sky began to flash according to Song Shuhang's will.
At the same time, different kinds of heavenly tribulations released different colors.
The light from the tribulation lightning, like colorful stage lights, shone on Sixteen.
Sister Scarf: "..."
Do you have too much energy to spare?
She turned her head to look at Song Shuhang's position and nodded.
This guy really seems too full of energy.
Having just transcended his tribulation, along with the vast amount of power of virtue he received, Song Shuhang's overall state had improved significantly. Whether it was his primordial soul, physical body, or skills, they had gotten better.
As a result, Song Shuhang was overflowing with energy.
Sister Scarf sighed and said to Sixteen, "Let's start with the speech."
The lighting and sound effects were left to Song Shuhang to handle.
Sixteen smiled slightly. She leaned against the Throne of Endurance and spoke about ❮Lightning Techniques❯.
During this time, the pain from the Throne of Endurance constantly assaulted her senses. She did not have Song Shuhang's ability to adapt to the pain and eventually learn to enjoy it, so she could only endure.
She discussed ❮Lightning Techniques❯ from their simplest concepts to the most advanced ones. Sister White Dragon assisted her throughout the speech. With that, Sixteen's delivery went well.
At first, when practitioners across the universe listened to her explanation of ❮Lightning Techniques❯, they felt that her explanation was a bit too simple. The key points she mentioned were simple things that even those at the First and Second Stage had already grasped.
Practitioners who had high cultivation realms had already mastered such basic knowledge long ago.
[Don't you think that the content of Profound Sage Su Shan's speech is a bit too simple?]
[I've already grasped such concepts. She's merely talking about the foundation of the foundation.]
[Is it really alright to speak about such basic knowledge during the Profound Sage Speech?]
[If the lecture is going to be like this until the end, I might just head out.]
[Could this be the reason why Profound Sage Tyrannical Song is desperately trying to build momentum and create an impressive atmosphere for Profound Sage Su Shan?]
Could it be that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song knew that Profound Sage Su Shan was rather lacking in this aspect, so he tried to improve her standing before she began her lecture?
While practitioners all over the universe were busy making guesses, Sixteen's speech became increasingly profound.
On the stage of the Profound Sage Speech, various phenomena began to appear.
It began with the most basic sound of the Great Way, the ringing of a bell.
Then came flowers, the image of a fish leaping over the dragon's gate, and all kinds of visions.
Practitioners all over the universe focused on the speech, their ears pricked up.
[Amazing! This is exactly what we wanted!]
[That's more like it! Profound Sage Su Shan's speech has finally become interesting.]
[This speech is truly a gospel for practitioners specialized in lightning techniques.]
Most of the practitioners in the universe, especially those who were familiar with lightning techniques, were fascinated by what they heard.
But as they listened, the content of Sixteen's speech became more and more complex.
Most of the practitioners were beginning to fail to understand what she was saying.
The content of the speech was too profound for them to understand in a short period of time, and most of them needed to ponder for a considerable period of time about every word before they could make sense of it.
[Wait... wait a minute, Profound Sage Su Shan, we were wrong. It's too profound! Please stop!]
[Please speak a bit slower. Give us some time to comprehend your words!]
[It would be best if you could slow down the pace a little!]
Most practitioners frantically conveyed their thoughts, hoping that Profound Sage Su Shan could hear their pleas.
Unfortunately, Profound Sage Su Shan was a fake Profound Sage, and she did not have the ability and authority to "see the comments" when she was delivering her speech.
She followed the script given to her by Sister White Dragon and explained everything methodically.
In the end, the content of the lecture had become so profound that even Tribulation Transcenders could no longer understand it.
The small group of Tribulation Transcenders that watched Profound Sage Su Shan's speech after watching Tyrannical Song's speech were now in a daze.
[Is this even a Profound Sage's speech?]
[A-Are you kidding me? This is definitely at the level of a Tribulation Transcender, and it might even be...]
It was approaching the level of an Immortal's speech!
[I can't understand what she's saying anymore. The content of this speech has already touched upon the laws of lightning.]
[As expected of the fairy maiden who was so intimate with Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.]
[I'll write down what she's saying and think about it carefully after the speech is over.]
[Of the two speeches today, one was novel and the other was very profound. Having the opportunity to watch them is worthy of a celebration.]
❄️❄️❄️
Seeing the phenomena around Sixteen as she delivered her speech, Song Shuhang knew that the speech had gone well!
The content of Sixteen's lecture was too profound, and Song Shuhang could not understand it at all.
However, the earlier explanations were still extremely useful to him.
At least now, his understanding of the Lightning Palm, Lightning Drawing Technique, and Charging Technique had risen to a higher level.
His understanding of the Lightning Palm was the one that benefitted the most due to him having come in contact with the power of the heavenly tribulation's Lightning Palm recently.
Shuhang held out his hands.
This time, he did not even need to draw runes. With just a thought, a dazzling lightning ball materialized in his palm.
He flipped his palm lightly, and the Lightning Palm increased in size.
From a palm-sized Lightning Palm, it became the size of a basketball, then expanded until it reached a diameter of 5 meters.
Moreover, this was only its initial form.
As long as he continued to pour energy, its size would continue to expand. Song Shuhang estimated that he could make it reach 500 meters in diameter, around the size of a small village.
After he acquired a deeper understanding of the Lightning Palm, he should be able to expand it to the size of a big village.
As long as his proficiency kept increasing, the City-Wide Lightning Palm was right around the corner!
❄️❄️❄️
Sixteen's speech eventually came to an end.
After her speech ended, the thoughts of practitioners all over the universe gathered and turned into a huge amount of power of virtue that landed on her body.
For those who were listening to Sixteen's lecture, they had no idea as to what she was talking about by the end
Few people in the entire universe could understand the last few sections of the speech, but what she had said sounded cool nonetheless.
The power of virtue that she had managed to gather was more than Sister White Dragon had expected.
"What form will Sixteen's light of virtue take?" Song Shuhang was a little curious.
Would her power of virtue integrate with Sister Scarf's body and enhance her existence, or would it materialize into a whole different existence?
After a while, the light of virtue in the air integrated with Sixteen's body, pouring into the hole in her chest.
The hole was quickly filled.
Eventually, the power of virtue turned into an illusory heart of virtue!
"Is the light of virtue healing her chest injury?" Song Shuhang said in surprise.
The power of virtue unexpectedly had such a function.
Regardless... If the light of virtue could heal Sixteen's heart, that would be great.
While he was thinking this, the illusory heart finished taking shape and began to beat like a real heart.
With a new heart, Sixteen's face regained some blood.
"Thump~ Thump~"
The virtuous heart beat rhythmically until it suddenly shattered.
"Huh? What happened?" Song Shuhang looked dazed.
Sister White Dragon said slowly, "A heart made of virtue lacks substance. It has no support, just like a tree without roots."
Song Shuhang asked, "It lacks substance? What does it need to be filled with, love?"
When talking about filling it with love, his right hand began moving involuntarily.
