Chapter 2467: Heaven's Not a Good Guy
2467 Heaven's Not a Good Guy
At this moment, if he were to summon his true form, he might be in serious trouble.
The formidable lineup formed by Tyrannical Song's equipment and that group of immortals would mean curtains for anyone who dared to approach.
King Kun securely concealed a fragment of his consciousness deep within the golden body of the Scholarly Tribulation Transcender, not daring to reveal it for fear of detection.
If Tyrannical Song were to notice anything amiss... Losing the golden body of the Scholarly Tribulation Transcender wasn't the real concern. What worried him was that the handsome cultivator next to him might follow that strand of 'consciousness' and expose his true self.
Provoking them was not an option.
...
...
Meanwhile, Fairy Creation approached Song Shuhang with a joyful demeanor and handed him the sealing pillar.
"Thanks for your hard work, Fairy," Song Shuhang accepted the pillar and tapped it lightly. "The design and the sealing technique, as expected, are the creations of the Fat Ball boss! It's rock solid!"
King Kun's hidden consciousness sighed silently.
This disloyal treasure had initially promised to bear the name Kun, but now it had sneakily changed it to Tyrant.
Double the joy turned into double the heartache.
It was unsettling.
After giving the sealing pillar to Song Shuhang, she sang, "Song ~ Dimwit ~ Dumb dumb ~" melodiously.
With her enchanting voice, even without any lines, her singing alone was heavenly.
"I see," Song Shuhang nodded as he listened.
Then, he turned to introduce everyone, "Fairy Creation mentioned that the person beside her is her senior brother, Yuan Zi, one of the thirteen Tribulation Transcenders of the scholarly faction. Senior Brother Yuan Zi suffered severe injuries during the scholarly faction's calamity, and his mind is currently clouded. As you can see, though he can move, it's purely instinctual."
King Kun was taken aback—did he even understand this? The god-level translator he had desired was actually here!
"Yuan Zi from the scholarly faction used to be a renowned scholar across myriad worlds. It's such a loss," the White Dragon commented thoughtfully.
In the past, the scholarly faction had produced thirteen young Tribulation Transcenders, shocking the world. The Saint's ability to teach students was recognized throughout the myriad worlds.
Yuan Zi was the most elegant among the thirteen Tribulation Transcenders. His every action exuded a graceful demeanor that set a trend in many worlds during ancient times with his handsome and easygoing style.
"If not for the great tribulation that befell the scholarly faction, those thirteen Tribulation Transcenders might be Immortals by now," Pavilion Master Chu lamented.
Before the scholarly faction's great tribulation, more than half of the thirteen Tribulation Transcenders had already condensed the embryonic form of their Dao.
Becoming an Immortal was only a matter of time.
Unfortunately, they met an untimely end.
If the stubborn Seventh Heavenly Dao had stepped down a few hundred years later, the Scholarly Sage might have led more than six Immortals in the last Immortal War. Just the thought of it was despair-inducing.
...
...
Fairy Creation pointed at Yuan Zi and sang, "Song ~ Adai!"
"Alright, no problem," Song Shuhang replied. "I happen to have the coordinates of the scholarly faction, so I can directly take Senior Yuan Zi there."
Fairy Creation hoped that Song Shuhang could escort Senior Brother Yuan Zi back to the scholarly faction.
Currently, the scholarly faction had four resurrected '13 Tribulation Transcendents.' They relied on the resurrection array left behind by the saints to revive temporarily and move in the main world. Perhaps he could help Yuan Zi before they dissipated again.
"Yes, yes," Fairy Creation said with joy.
Then, she indicated the sealing pillar and the Confucian Classics.
"Alright, I'll handle the seal on the Confucian Classics. To be honest, this sealing pillar is an unexpected bonus," Song Shuhang replied.
With enough rounds of Blade Nurturing Skill, this 'sealing pillar' might become his new trump card. Just as he used it to seal the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball previously, when the new sealing pillar's favorability was full, it could imprison another wave of formidable adversaries.
"Can this formidable seal be broken by Tyrannical Song? Does he possess significant expertise in sealing arts?" King Kun secretly eavesdropped; the more he learned about Tyrannical Song, the more he found him formidable.
"This sealing pillar is much weaker than the one on my main body. It should be easier to handle," Senior White Two mentioned.
Song Shuhang said, "I plan to spend the entire night perfecting it. By the way, Fairy Creation, what are your intentions regarding the Confucian Classics? Should we return it to the scholarly faction?"
Song Shuhang intended to give the Confucian Classics to Fairy Creation. When she made the bet with the fat ball and Senior Three-Eyed, she had shown great concern upon learning about the Confucian Classics. It appeared to hold significant importance to her.
"Song ~ Adai!" Fairy Creation suddenly jumped up and landed on the sealing pillar, vigorously shaking her head.
She meant that the Confucian Classics couldn't be returned to the scholarly faction at the moment.
"Is it crucial?" Song Shuhang inquired.
"Very crucial," Fairy Creation replied. She extended five fingers towards Song Shuhang, then after a moment's thought, reduced it to four fingers. "You little bug, you're a bit tricky to catch!"
Song Shuhang was speechless.
"Alright, I understand. In that case, I'll keep the Confucian Classics in the Inner World. When you feel the time is right, you can inform the scholarly faction," Song Shuhang said.
Fairy Creation was deeply concerned about some of the Saint's relics and was reluctant to let them return to the scholarly faction.
For instance, when Song Shuhang was about to return the Sage's eye to the scholarly faction, Fairy Creation had also resisted.
"Could it be... There's still a possibility of a Saint's resurrection?" Song Shuhang's heart skipped a beat.
Fairy Creation wanted to keep both the eyes and the Confucian Classics by her side. Could these items be crucial tools for the Sage's revival?
"Ah~" After receiving Song Shuhang's confirmation, Fairy Creation jumped down from the sealing pillar and patted Song Shuhang on the shoulder.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
Both you and the virtuous lamia have been stealing my lines, haven't you?
"Are we heading to the scholarly faction next?" Sword inquired.
If they were going to the scholarly faction, it would mean staying in the Inner World for a while. The scholarly faction had high Morality Values that countered its Mental Demon attribute. Black-skinned Soft Feather could conceal herself within Song Shuhang's shadow, but it lacked that innate ability.
"Yes, our destination is the scholarly faction!" Song Shuhang extended his hand and opened the Inner World.
Soft Feather pulled Sixteen inside and expertly followed suit.
Fairy Creation held Senior Brother Yuan Zi and followed closely behind.
Senior White Two, however, remained behind. "You guys go ahead. I'll stay here and examine the fat ball's sealing altar. If there's anything important, don't forget to call me. Also, if the Confucian Classics gets unsealed, make sure to inform me."
The world left behind by the fat ball seemed to have piqued Senior White Two's interest.
"Alright, Senior White. I'll contact you once we break the seal," Song Shuhang agreed.
The entrance to the Inner World closed, and an exit appeared near the White Cloud Academy of the scholarly faction.
...
...
After Song Shuhang and his companions departed, Senior White Two stepped forward and approached the sealed altar.
He gently knocked on the altar's surface before lifting it with a powerful grip. The altar, initially unearthed by King Kun, was completely raised and revealed a vast underground space and a complex mechanical structure.
Deep within the intricate mechanical framework lay a metal box.
"It appears to be the work of the fat ball, but this section must be the masterpiece of the Heavenly Dao Ball," Senior White Two mused, holding his chin.
The fat ball had established a seal and an altar here to suppress the Confucian Classics.
Subsequently, the Heavenly Dao Ball covertly excavated a substantial space beneath the altar, leaving behind a complex mechanical artifact and this metal box.
Notably, the material of this metal box was a type of liquid metal.
Indeed, it was the essence of the Netherworld fat ball!
Hence, this underground structure must have been tampered with secretly by the Heavenly Dao Ball behind the fat ball's back.
"To cut off the Netherworld ruler in secrecy. The Heavenly Dao is anything but benevolent," Senior White Two remarked.
