“Hey, big guy, don’t hold back. Let’s duke it out till dawn,” Song Shuhang yelled at the ancient tribulation cloud. He knew that the positive energy was gone for good, but he was unable to resist.
He even suspected that the ancient tribulation was intentionally keeping the number of holy apes at 199.
“You’re getting cocky, Shuhang, yelling at the ancient tribulation like that. Let it give you as much positive energy as it wants. Don’t disrespect the ancient tribulation!” The sword seized the opportunity to sternly reprimand him. “Be mindful, take whatever positive energy the ancient tribulation gives you, and don’t offend its dignity!’
“If the heavenly tribulation had a spirit, it would have exploded by now,” Senior Turtle remarked slowly.
Since becoming a cultivator, Song Shuhang had pulled off various maneuvers alongside the White of the Present World and the White of the Netherworld, repeatedly diminishing the ancient tribulation’s dignity.
The combination of 1 Song and 2 Whites led to a chemical change and caused the tribulations in multiple realms to lament silently.
“199? That’s too uncomfortable,” Song Shuhang rubbed his temples. “There’s nothing I can do. I’ll check if Senior White Two has woken up. If he has, maybe I can borrow a small holy ape from him to make up the number… When I cultivate the 200th holy ape in the future, I’ll return it to Senior White Two.” Pavilion Master Chu was speechless.
Pavilion Master Chu wanted to say something, but she didn’t know where to start.
“If you’re feeling uncomfortable, you can consider intentionally failing the tribulation after transcending this Eighth Stage Archaic Tribulation, then try again,” Scarlet Heaven Sword suggested.
Failing to transcend the tribulation usually had consequences, like enduring the inner demon tribulation, but it seemed Song Shuhang wouldn’t care about that.
“Let’s just respect the ancient tribulation and avoid any flashy moves. Black-skinned Soft Feather is right; I want to smoothly and normally transcend an Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation in my lifetime,” Song Shuhang continued. “Moreover, after being bathed in this wave of positive energy, I feel like my soul has become much purer. The inflated mentality I’ve had since accepting the authority of the ruler of the Netherworld has started to fade.” “That must be your imagination,” the White Dragon retorted.
“It’s not. This kind of positive energy can indeed purify the soul. Right now, my ‘kindness’ aspect has been maximized… I even had the thought of sending the members of the Limitless Demon Sect out of the Demon Sea world to avoid involving innocent people in my ancient tribulation,” Song Shuhang said seriously. “Not only that, today, the idea of loving the country, loving the people, and being a good person in my heart is unprecedentedly strong! If possible, I would like to do a thousand good deeds right now.”
“Terrifying,” Black-skinned Soft Feather said.
According to Senior Songs introduction, this positive energy of heavenly tribulation even had the power to change the will of the person undergoing the
tribulation. Senior Song might have been able to transcend this wave of heavenly tribulation with positive energy easily, but he was still able to do so. However, if it was someone else with insufficient willpower, they might have been brainwashed by the positive energy of the heavenly tribulation and turned into an absolutely kind ultimate saint or holy mother.
“To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that I wanted to experience an ordinary heavenly tribulation of the Eighth Stage, I would really want to transcend another wave of the ancient tribulation. Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s suggestion is truly moving,” Song Shuhang mused, looking at the fourth wave of the heavenly tribulation condensing in the sky and gently clenching his fists.
The strengthening of the 199 holy ape phantoms had once again improved his body’s attributes, which had been stagnant for a long time.
The feeling of his strength expanding made Song Shuhang feel as if he could beat a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender with just his body.
“Speaking of which, even the ‘positive energy’ has come out. What do you think the next wave of the heavenly tribulation will be?” Senior Turtle inquired.
Soft Feather said, “If we follow this line of thought and speculate that the target of the tribulation is an ancient demon, then after enduring the poison of the positive energy, will the next wave of attacks target the soul and temper the will of the ancient demon?”
“If it’s to temper one’s will, wouldn’t it be similar to the Buddhist Sect’s
Purification Sutra? Or something like the Western Holy Light Choir?” The
White Dragon pondered aloud while scratching her chin with her small claws.
The corner of Pavilion Master Chu’s mouth twitched. “Song Shuhangs 199 holy apes will sing together against the Eighth Stage ancient tribulation?”
“Pavilion Master Chu, shut up. I’m already imagining it,” Lady Onion exclaimed.
With just a short description, Lady Onion imagined the epic scene of two gorgeous choirs singing together.
“Then I have to prepare first. I can’t have stage fright later,” Song Shuhang said confidently.
“It’s a pity that Fairy Creation and Black-skinned Soft Feather can’t transcend the tribulation with me. Otherwise, I would have pulled Fairy Virtue, Fairy Creation, and Black-skinned Soft Feather to create a luxurious musical on the spot.”
“Senior Song, I have a name,” Black-skinned Soft Feather reminded him.
“Dumb Song?’ Fairy Creation rested her chin on her hands. He eyes lit up as if she was very tempted.
As they conversed, the fourth wave of the ancient tribulation finally took shape and descended!
The fourth wave of the ancient tribulation took a little longer to form. The main reason was that the Limitless Demon Sect’s Demon Sea World in the Netherworld wasn’t large. It was about the size of a medium-sized country in the main world.
To use such a large area to condense the ancient tribulation that originally required an entire world naturally required some time.
This was also the reason for the relatively long interval between each wave of the ancient tribulation that Song Shuhang transcended.
The fourth wave of the ancient tribulation descended.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t a choir or chanting scriptures. Instead, it was an invisible force that quietly enveloped Song Shuhang.
However, Soft Feather guessed half of it right—this tribulation did indeed target the soul and will.
A seductive power enveloped Song Shuhangs mind.
A soft voice kept whispering in Song Shuhangs ears, as if it was trying to seduce his heart.
However, this kind of soul-seducing power was useless to Song Shuhang. Compared to the power of the ruler of the Netherworld that made him expand, the power of this tribulation was like the difference between a firefly and the sun!
This soft voice lasted for a few minutes before it changed.
It began to transform into another method-the power of the fourth ancient tribulation began to nourish Song Shuhangs inner demon attribute. It seemed to want to forcefully create a inner demon from Song Shuhangs body! This was much more powerful than the heavenly tribulation in the main world.
The heavenly tribulation in the present world could at most induce some thoughts in a cultivator’s heart and turn them into inner demons.
The power of the fourth ancient tribulation was actually trying to nourish a heart demon.
“Eh? Interesting,” Song Shuhang laughed, and said.. “Come out, my inner demon!”
