Chapter 2901: I didn’t expect you to be like this, Senior Song!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Golden Trigram’s memories had been ‘sealed’ before, and he knew this very well—because he didn’t have any memories before he joined the Heavenly Court!
Not long ago, when he was inheriting the position of the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor had personally answered his doubts about sealing his memories. According to the Celestial Thearch, he was once a disciple that the Celestial Thearch had secretly taken in before establishing the celestial heavens. His cultivation techniques, knowledge, and methods were all taught by the Heavenly Emperor. This was also the reason why he was unable to take the final step on the path to immortality. This was because his path was actually the path of the Heavenly Emperor! Under the premise that the Celestial Thearch had a master, he could not attain immortality.
According to the Heavenly Emperor’s explanation, the reason for sealing his memories was to prevent him from being involved in the disaster during the process of building the Heavenly Court. Later, after the Heavenly Court was successfully established, the Celestial Thearch brought him into the Heavenly Court. However, he brought him into the Heavenly Court as a ‘newbie’ and built his own celestial palace for him. The Celestial Thearch’s explanation was generally reasonable and there was nothing to doubt.
However, after the Heavenly Emperor passed the Heavenly Emperor’s seat to him, he still did not undo the seal on his memory. Back then, it was because the Heavenly Emperor had used the topic of ‘Senior Song’ to divert his attention, causing him to forget about the matter of the ‘memory seal’.
And now… Just as Island Master Golden Trigram turned around and glanced at Song Shuhang, the memories in Golden Trigram’s mind began to surface with the help of the ‘laws of time’, ‘the path of the Heavenly City’, ‘Tyrannical Song’s special physique’, and other factors.
He discovered that the first time he met Song Shuhang wasn’t on the mysterious island.
“The Ghost God Fragment was originally a female. However, after my modification, I naturally had to change the settings and turn the female into a male… Hmm, Heavenly Emperor. From today onwards, you are the Heavenly Emperor!” A mechanical voice sounded.
However, at this moment, Golden Trigram found that his vision was completely dark. And then… The ‘image’ he saw jumped. This was because the scene he was seeing now was centered around ‘Song Shuhang’. It was the memories related to Song Shuhang that had been extracted.
In his memory, Golden Trigram found that he was a boy around six years old.
“Is this how I looked like when I was young? Is it my childhood memory?” Golden Trigram was moved. “Could it be that I came into contact with ‘Tyrannical Song’ when I was six years old?”
“Could it be… The Celestial Thearch didn’t trick me. Is she telling the truth? The one who is really lying is Tyrannical Song?!”
But why would Tyrannical Song lie? Many thoughts flashed through Golden Trigram’s mind.
As his thoughts raced, the scenes in his memory slowly unfolded. In his memory, a strange person with ‘dual-pupils’ appeared. He began to teach the six-year-old Golden Trigram about cultivation and assisted him in his cultivation. The cultivation method taught by the strange man was extremely compatible with the young Golden Trigram. It was as if it was tailor-made for him.
“Could this strange person be the Heavenly Emperor? Was it her incarnation? Is she teaching me how to cultivate?” Golden Trigram guessed after combining it with the explanation given by the Heavenly Emperor. Because it was a memory, the images flashed through his mind very quickly.
In any case, he cultivated day and night and ate pills… Then, there was the scene of day cultivation, night cultivation, and eating pills. In just four short years, he had advanced to the Fourth Stage Realm! If this cultivation speed was placed in the myriad worlds, it would be so fast that it was terrifying!
In the next five years, he condensed a Supreme Golden Core with nine dragon patterns and advanced to the Fifth Stage! His cultivation was extremely smooth!
“Strange, where’s Tyrannical Song?” Island Master Golden Trigram asked curiously.
Since the memory was centered around Song Shuhang, it meant that Song Shuhang had always been by his side in this scene. However, ever since he started cultivating at the age of six, he hadn’t found any trace of Tyrannical Song.
“Wait, could it be… This weirdo with dual-pupils is Tyrannical Song?”
Because in the picture, there was only the young him and the strange man with dual-pupils!
“If this weirdo with dual-pupils is Tyrannical Song, then he is indeed my ‘senior’… However, the Celestial Thearch’s words were suspicious. Isn’t she the one who accepted me as her disciple? Tyrannical Song or Heavenly Emperor, who is lying?” Golden Trigram frowned and continued reading. As long as his memories were fully unfolded, the truth would be revealed!
The scene was still progressing slowly. After reaching the Fifth Stage Realm, the strange man with dual-pupils left. He left… He left just like that!
However, the scene of the memory still hadn’t ended. The memory with Song Shuhang as the center was still unfolding!
“Isn’t the dual-pupiled freak Tyrannical Song? And Tyrannical Song is still hidden in my memories? Where is he?” Island Master Golden Trigram was completely confused. His memories were still progressing rapidly…
The young him quickly entered the segment of the Golden Core composition. The Golden Core Formation was not a problem for him. He used the nine dragon patterns as ink to construct a Golden Core Heavenly City Formation!
“It’s indeed the path of the Heavenly Court… When I was at the Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor Realm, my path was already set. The Celestial Thearch did not lie about this.”
The progress of the Golden Core composition was very fast. It did not take long for it to reach 99%. Now, it was only missing the finishing touch! For cultivators of the cultivation system, the finishing touch of the Golden Core was extremely important. A golden core determined the great path, and this finishing touch was the most important part of the golden core.
The young man’s smooth cultivation finally met a bottleneck. He was stuck in the ‘Finishing Eye’. This stroke required an epiphany.
“Tyrannical Song still hasn’t appeared,” Golden Trigram frowned. “So, where was Tyrannical Song?”
Just as Golden Trigram was feeling puzzled… The young man in the picture made a shocking move.
“Right, at this time, you can pray to ‘God’!” the youth said.
Golden Trigram was dumbfounded.
“What the hell was praying to God? This can’t be me! I can’t be this funny!” But the young man in his memory had taken action. He began to build an altar and prayed seriously, “God, I pray to you here. Please guide me in the next direction. It’s best if it’s close to me, because if it’s too far, I won’t be able to find the direction.”
Then, it was the process of the young man praying seriously. What shocked Golden Trigram was that the young man seemed to have received feedback from a certain voice. As the young man continued to ask questions, a clear sentence finally appeared in Golden Trigram’s ears.
“Courting death is a virus called Thrice Reckless Disease. It was terrifyingly contagious. If you really want to try to court death, then go to the highest mountain peak, seal your spiritual qi, and jump down with all your might. Leap of Faith. During the process of landing, you will experience the feeling of ‘death’ approaching.”
Golden Trigram:
Then, the young man in his memory happily ran to the highest peak—he came to the cliff where he would definitely be crushed if he jumped down. Then, he began to seriously seal his spiritual power.
“No, don’t be so stupid!” Golden Trigram shouted. He was about to cry from this youth’s stupidity.
“None of this is a problem!” The young man shouted and jumped into the cliff under Golden Trigram’s desperate gaze!
“Is this the feeling of death?” the young man asked excitedly as he jumped down. “Something in my body seems to have awakened. I feel like I can enter the last stroke of the Golden Core composition. It’s time to stop.”
“Not good, I don’t know how to stop!”
Other than cultivating, the young man had never refined a magic weapon… Moreover, he had sealed his spiritual energy.
Hong
As Golden Trigram’s stomach ached, the young man’s body smashed into the ground, creating a huge pit. He was covered in blood and spat out large mouthfuls of blood. He was trembling as he tried to get up… However, after only two steps, the young man fainted.
The memory ended.
“It’s you, Senior Song!” Golden Trigram stared at Song Shuhang. The voice that tricked him into sealing his spiritual energy and jumping off the cliff was Tyrannical Song!
