Chapter 2439 The Time Has Come!
The newly resurrected Heavenly Emperor appeared just as she did in Slow-Witted Song and Cheng Lin's memories. After her resurrection, her goal was to rebuild the ancient Heavenly City and discover her own path.
However, lately, the actions of the Celestial Thearch had taken a peculiar turn. She seemed to possess a vast knowledge and was no longer willing to adhere to the Heavenly Dao. She desired freedom.
Consequently, Slow-Witted Song decided to accompany Fairy Cheng Lin on a journey to find the Celestial Thearch and engage in a conversation with her.
The reason for bringing Fairy Cheng Lin along was Slow-Witted Song's concern that he might be at a disadvantage during this conversation and that there was a risk of violence. By having Cheng Lin accompany him, they could potentially overpower the Celestial Thearch if physical persuasion became necessary.
Regardless of whether they would resort to physical persuasion, being prepared was prudent. They needed to be vigilant against the possibility of the Celestial Thearch using physical force.
On the other side, within the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Tribulation Space, Song Shuhang wore a crown of thorns on his head and various accessories that boosted his intelligence. He was diligently attempting to learn the ancient language.
The control of the skeletal giant had already been transferred to the virtuous lamia.
Fairy @#%× was having a great time. She used her sword to cut the tribulation clouds in the sky into various shapes, including stars, triangles, squares, hexagons, and even heart shapes.
After sculpting these clouds into different shapes, Fairy @#%× compressed and sealed them, then transferred them to Song Shuhang's spatial magical bracelet.
"@#%! Fairy!" Song Shuhang exclaimed while struggling with the pronunciation of her name.
"Wrong again," Pavilion Master Chu sighed. Song Shuhang's pronunciation needed improvement.
When faced with the ancient language's complex syllables, Song Shuhang found it challenging to articulate them correctly.
Pavilion Master Chu even jokingly suggested that Song Shuhang's tongue might need modification to cope with the language.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
"Let's take a break. Even the Thorn Crown can't help you. I'm losing hope too," Pavilion Master Chu lamented as her hair drooped in exhaustion.
"Perhaps I should seek out an ancient senior and enter a dream state?" Song Shuhang pondered aloud.
Although Dreamland was currently in passive mode, it could potentially become more accessible after certain conditions were met, such as blood fusion or soul resonance.
"Don't even think about it, or I'll stick a hair into your head," Pavilion Master Chu threatened, fully aware of Song Shuhang's uncanny abilities.
She also believed that the 'dreamland' ability could be a useful method for learning the ancient language, but she didn't want Song Shuhang to discover her secrets.
"Don't worry, Senior Chu. You definitely won't meet the requirements for my dream entry," Song Shuhang assured her as he recognized the need to reassure her for his own safety.
Just as they conversed, Song Shuhang suddenly stiffened.
"Half of my body!" he exclaimed.
Pavilion Master Chu was baffled.
"Yes, I've reestablished a connection with it!" Song Shuhang affirmed.
Regaining control of Half-body No. 2, he promptly guided it into the Inner World.
Leaving Half-body No. 2 exposed in the main world was dangerous, as it could be seized by other potentially powerful adversaries.
Song Shuhang couldn't afford to let Half-body No. 2 act independently.
Within the Inner World, by the living spring, Half-body No. 2 emerged.
Lady Onion, who had been learning magic techniques from Senior Turtle, was startled.
"What kind of monster is this?" Lady Onion exclaimed while revealing her true form and delivering a swift kick to Song Shuhang's lower body.
Clang ~~
The sound of metal striking metal reverberated.
Lady Onion clutched her right leg in pain, her grievances plain to see.
"This is half of Shuhang's body," Pavilion Master Chu explained with a bubble-laden sigh.
"Shuhang, why did half of your body come to the main world? Just transcend the tribulation properly and stop with all these antics," Senior Turtle advised.
Song Shuhang was rendered speechless.
He had been reprimanded by Lady Onion. It was a truly unique experience.
"I'll transfer half of my body back to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm," Song Shuhang declared through a secret sound transmission.
After the earlier incident, he wasn't willing to leave Half-body No. 2 outside any longer. Sending it back to safety was the prudent choice.
However, before sending it back, he needed to test it with Senior Turtle and Pavilion Master Chu. There was no telling what might have happened to Half-body No. 2 during its forced absence. It could have sustained damage.
"Senior Chu, Senior Turtle, please excuse the inconvenience," the other half of Song Shuhang said.
He also wondered where Su Clan's Sixteen, Soft Feather, and the black-skinned Soft Feather had gone.
Pavilion Master Chu and Senior Turtle's divine senses swept over Song Shuhang's upper body, carefully examining him.
"There's no issue with his body. He's unharmed," Pavilion Master Chu confirmed. Additionally, she sensed a faint aura, although it had been intentionally obscured and difficult to identify.
"I don't detect any problems either... Furthermore, I can vaguely sense my master's aura coming from half of Shuhang's body," Senior Turtle remarked with a furrowed brow.
"The Great Northern Emperor's aura?" Song Shuhang was taken aback.
"Yes, albeit very faint. Nevertheless, Shuhang, half of your body may have come into contact with the Celestial Thearch," Senior Turtle asserted confidently.
Song Shuhang pondered this revelation.
The golden vortex, the presence of the Celestial Thearch's aura, and the ability to temporarily sever the connection between his main body and Half-body No. 2—all the pieces fell into place.
Simultaneously, he checked Half-body No. 2 while special attention to the core's condition.
Soon, he noticed something unusual.
"The Shadow Holy Land has been attacked... and there are more cracks?" Song Shuhang's voice conveyed his disbelief. "Doesn't this mean repair costs will increase again? It's a financial nightmare!"
He also realized, "Wait... these items in the cosmos bag, are they materials for repairs? Could they be used to mend the Shadow Sacred Land? If so, it's not so bad—it won't add to my debt."
"And what's this?" Song Shuhang inquired as he examined the last item closely.
"It emanates a powerful life aura. Could it be a technique mastered by an Immortal specializing in the life system?" Senior Turtle speculated.
Lady Onion inspected the treasure and added, "There are inscriptions on it, which are quite rare among the Song family's hereditary genes. It's valuable."
Pavilion Master Chu was at a loss for words.
Senior Turtle was equally puzzled.
Song Shuhang remained thoughtful.
After a brief silence, Pavilion Master Chu remarked, "It's a valuable item. Shuhang, make sure to keep it safe. It?may come in handy in the future."
Song Shuhang's other half immediately transferred the life-based treasure deep within the Inner World for safekeeping.
"I'll transfer half of my body back to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. Don't worry about me. Just wait for me to display my divine prowess before everyone!" Half of Song Shuhang's body conveyed its intentions while sounding somewhat awkward.
Then, he retrieved a disposable flying sword, a small black room-breaking model, and returned to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
He had a feeling that when Half-body No. 2 returned to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, it would be the perfect opportunity to challenge and overcome the Heavenly Tribulation BUG!
