Chapter 2011: Entering its good graces

Translator: GodBrandy 

Huh? What happened?

Song Shuhang sat up in a daze. He stretched out his hand and scratched his head. Then, he discovered that he was in a strange state. His head was still normal, but his body had become translucent and soul-like.

1

“You’re awake, № Tyrannical Song.” A gentle voice came from nearby.

1

Song Shuhang turned his head and saw a beautiful face and a big colorful tree.

The beautiful face was growing on the big tree, and the branches around her were fanning gently.

“Oh, it’s you, Shushu,” Song Shuhang said. This beautiful colorful tree was Senior White Two’s Pet No. 4. She had been caught in the forbidden area of the Palace of Winter together with the ugly tiger, and her name was Shushu.

In some ways, the two Senior Whites really did seem to maintain a certain level of synchronization.

Senior White Two had this colorful and beautiful monster tree as a pet, while the main world’s Senior White had a monster willow.

If both Senior White’s pets were supposed to match one another’s, then what were the equivalent of Little Sun You’re Busy T233, the demonic hamster, and the Orangutan General?

“Right, I should be in Senior White Two’s world of the black lotus!” Song Shuhang realized.

He remembered that he had gone to see Senior White Two and had helped him suppress the Ancient Nether Will Fragment.

But why did he suddenly fall asleep?

1

Song Shuhang looked up and found that Senior White Two was still floating up and down inside his crystal pillar. His head was still pointing downward while his feet were pointing upward, and he was smiling at him.

“Oh right, Senior White,” Song Shuhang pointed at the crystal pillar and said, “would you like me to try to break the fat ball’s seal?”

Senior White Two turned his body over and asked, “And how do you plan to deal with this seal?”

Song Shuhang explained, “The last time I fought against the fat ball, it tried using a pseudo bone of eternity to seal me. However, I used the Pay-To-Win Strike to sacrifice the bone.”

Curiosity flashed in Senior White Two’s eyes. He said, “Okay, you can give it a try.”

Song Shuhang approached the crystal pillar. Then, he stretched out the hand of his soul-like body and placed it on the crystal pillar.

“Bzzz~”

An electric shock traveled through the palm of his hand. Song Shuhang felt the shock reach his brain, and he quickly let go.

“This crystal pillar is a seal devised by the fat ball,” Senior White Two said. “Since it’s a seal, if you touch it directly, you will definitely be subjected to the seal’s backlash.”

“Senior White, since you knew, you should have told me.” Song Shuhang did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Senior White Two sighed. “Isn’t this basic knowledge a cultivator should have? As the first Sage in a thousand years, even if you’re a fake, you should at least know the basics.”

“Actually, whenever I have time, I do use it to study,” said Song Shuhang.

It was just that he did not have much time…

1

Reading and studying were his hobbies. If he was given the time, he could sit and read books for days and nights without end. He found learning to be quite fun.

Song Shuhang stretched out his left hand again and placed it on the seal. This time, he was prepared.

The feeling of being electrocuted came again, but since Song Shuhang was prepared for it, he clenched his teeth and continued to keep his hand on the pillar.

Song Shuhang said softly, “Very good. Now that I’m in direct contact with it, it’s time to use the… Divine Strike!”

As his left hand was pressed against the crystal pillar, a dot of light condensed in his right hand.

[I want to sacrifice this crystal pillar, but Senior White Two, who is inside it, should not be sacrificed. Come on, Pay-To-Win Strike!]

1

“Buzz~”

In the next moment, the dot of light above Song Shuhang’s right fingertip shattered.

He had failed to cast the Pay-To-Win Strike.

The crystal pillar was not a treasure that could be sacrificed. It was no longer a pseudo bone of eternity but was rather a complete seal.

While the pseudo bones of eternity were treasures, the “seal” formed after they were used was no longer one.

Senior White Two asked, “Did it fail?”

Song Shuhang retracted his left hand and sighed. “It failed. It appears that I was too optimistic.”

Senior White Two said happily, “It’s alright. It’s good for people to be a little optimistic.”

Senior White Two was trapped in this crystal pillar, but he did not feel anxious in the slightest.

For him, this crystal pillar and the giant cocoon had about the same purpose. It was comfortable inside, so he’d have no trouble sleeping in them.

Speaking of sleep, Senior White Two suddenly felt sleepy, and his eyelids drooped down.

“Senior White, can’t you break the seal of the fat ball on your own?” Song Shuhang asked.

“Yes, of course I can break this seal.” Senior White Two nodded and said, “In 5000 years at most, I’ll be out.”

For Senior White Two, 5000 years was the same as taking a short nap.

1

“Is it really going to take 5000 years?” Song Shuhang was taken aback.

It looked like the fat ball was not bragging. The seal that it used this time could really seal Senior White Two for 5000 years.

Song Shuhang asked, “Do you have no way to come out earlier?”

“I can just sleep through it.” Senior White Two waved his hand. “Also, I got the Ancient Nether Will Fragment in here with me. It can be put to good use while I’m asleep.”

Song Shuhang said, “How about I try again?”

Shuhang used his hair as a hand and pressed it against the crystal pillar once more.

He then performed the secret appraisal technique, hoping to get some clues.

The secret appraisal technique was activated.

The price paid for the appraisal this time was very low. The only price that Song Shuhang had to pay was a small scratch on his face.

Afterward, the results of the appraisal appeared in his mind.

[A powerful seal with an effective duration of 6,666 years. Even if it’s affected by a powerful external force, it will still take thousands of years to break.]

1

There was no more information after that.

It truly was a troublesome seal.

Shuhang retracted his palm made of hair.

However, when he was taking back his hair, he suddenly had an idea., and he brushed his palm against the pillar, using the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯.

1

The ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ was like the almighty spiritual energy to Song Shuhang now.

1

When cultivators encountered something strange, they liked to use their spiritual energy to figure out what it was or what it could do. When Song Shuhang encounters something that he did not know how to deal with, he liked using the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯.

“Hum~”

The ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ fell on the crystal pillar.

However, there was no response.

The only change that Song Shuhang felt was that he had become slightly more bonded with this crystal pillar. At the very least, when his palm pressed against the crystal pillar, the electric shock had become much weaker.

It was as if his favorability had gone up by 1.

And so, Song Shuhang tried to brush the pillar with his hair a couple more times.

The light of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ shone again and again.

After a couple of minutes, when Song Shuhang’s hand pressed against the crystal pillar, he no longer felt an electric shock.

1

“What have you been doing to the fat ball’s seal?” asked Senior White Two.

Song Shuhang replied, “I’m trying to enter its good graces. I’m wondering if it will eventually give me face and open a back door for me when my favorability has gotten high enough.”

Senior White Two looked puzzled.
