Chapter 1077: Want some help? I’m in a pretty good mood today
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator’s mood suddenly plummeted.
As heavy as his mood was, he at least was in good company.
“Can I ask if there is still anything left of the dinner that Immortal Fairy Bie Xue prepared?” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber asked. “I suddenly feel a little hungry.
Thrice Reckless had voiced out what he and the other fellow daoists were thinking about.
“Nope, we finished everything.” Fairy Lychee laughed.
Fairy Lychee, our friendship is over!
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator silently took out the invitation to the Immortal Feast, and his eyes turned moist.

“Anyway, this isn’t the most important thing right now.” Wearing a hazmat suit, Demon Monarch said sternly, “Why didn’t the guided missile really explode when it detonated? Why did it become pure spiritual energy?”
Moreover, the spiritual energy even enhanced the physical body and mental energy of the cultivators at the scene.
“I’ve thought of some possibilities.” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue sighed. “Perhaps we’ve all just come here for nothing tonight.”
Venerable Spirit Butterfly nodded thoughtfully.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue continued, “The guided missile that little friend Shuhang brought out and unsealed was completely fine. Both Spirit Butterfly and I could sense the pressure of the heavenly tribulation and the destructive power which it contained. If it were to really explode, it would definitely have a destructive power of the Seventh Stage or even greater.”
Venerable Spirit Butterfly nodded.
“However, when the guided missile detonated, things suddenly changed. The destructive power that it should produce completely transformed into pure spiritual energy and scattered all around. For such a thing to take place, I’m afraid that the ‘principles of the world’ are behind it,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, can you put it a bit simpler?”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Simply speaking, the guided missile might be something that can only explode in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. If it is brought to the main world, its destructive power would transform into spiritual power and spread out, doing no harm to the main world.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
That can’t be!
He was preparing to bring the 100 hydrogen bombs and 1000 nuclear bombs to use as deterrence against Sage Monarch Winter Melon on the night of the next full moon.
But if these guided missiles, hydrogen bombs, and nuclear bombs couldn’t properly detonate in the main world…
It would be the same as meeting an enemy with a water gun in your hand.
At this moment, Demon Monarch Nirvana said, “Could this one just be an exception? We can try another one.”
Venerable Spirit Butterfly said, “I also feel that we should try another one to see if it was just an accident or if it’s really being influenced by the ‘principles of the world’.
Song Shuhang nodded and summoned another guided missile.
Same as before, while the two Venerables stayed and faced the guided missile, the other fellow daoists retreated behind the defensive formation.
“Open!” Song Shuhang once again followed the steps to unlocking Senior White’s seal.
“Boom!!!”
The sound of a huge explosion resounded.
However, just like the last time, after the guided missile detonated, the explosive power suddenly turned into pure spiritual energy that spread all around the underground space.
“My physical body and mental energy have been strengthened once again, but it was much weaker than the last time,” Venerable Spirit Butterfly said.
The other fellow daoists also felt that their physical body and mental energy had been slightly strengthened.
“It seems that it’s impossible for the guided missile to properly detonate in the main world. It might only be able to properly detonate in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber remarked, “How about trying it out inside an ‘illusory reality’?”
Venerable Spirit Butterfly shook his head, and said, “The ‘illusory reality’ is merely the embodiment of an illusion. It still essentially exists within the concept of the main world, so there would be no difference.”
“How could this be…” Demon Monarch Nirvana knelt down. He had finally found something that could explode magnificently, but it turned out that it couldn’t explode in the main world. If it couldn’t even explode, could it still be called ‘missile’?
“If it can’t be detonated in the main world, can’t we go to another realm?” True Monarch Eternal Fire asked––he was thinking of the scholarly faction’s world of the golden lotus.
Song Shuhang thought of his Inner World.
He and True Monarch Eternal Fire had similar thoughts.
“I don’t think it would explode in other places, either, because in the entire universe, besides the Profound Sages of the Netherworld Realm, when a Seventh Stage Venerable ascends to become an Eight Stage Profound Sage, they are all brought into the Heavenly Tribulation Realm,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue replied.
Venerable Spirit Butterfly said, “Perhaps it would explode in the Netherworld Realm, but it’s too dangerous to go there.”
Even Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and Spirit Butterfly didn’t want to go to the Netherworld so easily. There, cultivators could only use 50% of their strength, and they couldn’t get supplementary spiritual energy from heaven and earth and also had to resist the influence of the Netherworld Realm’s evil energy.
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber suggested, “What if we just go around the edges of the Netherworld Realm and test out the guided missile there, leaving immediately after?”
There were often some space cracks between the main world and the Netherworld Realm. Thrice Reckless remembered the ancient well in the ‘Jingang Cave’, which was connected to the Netherworld and guarded by Great Master Profound Principle.
“I’m afraid that we won’t be able to return after detonating the guided missile there,” True Monarch Yellow Mountain said seriously.
The Netherworld Realm and the main world were very different. After the tribulations the main world faced, Profound Sages and Tribulation Transcenders appeared very rarely. If one were able to see a Venerable, it would already be akin to winning the lottery.
But in Netherworld Realm, you might encounter a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender-level demon just by walking around. They would definitely show themselves if they sensed the aura of the guided missile,.
Song Shuhang began to think whether he should try detonating the guided missile in his Inner World.
Not long ago, his Inner World had merged with several fragments of the ancient Heavenly City, causing its area to become really big.
However, if he wanted to try such a thing out, it was best to have Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue or Senior Spirit Butterfly go with him to his Inner World and set up some defensive formations.
Furthermore, before detonating the guided missile, he should move the nuclear bombs piled up there so as not to detonate them all together and bring disaster to the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Just as Song Shuhang was thinking this, he suddenly heard a voice in his mind. “Hey, Shuhang, what are you worrying about?”
This voice, is it Senior White’s?
Senior White was already able to directly transmit his voice from the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?
“No, that Senior White of yours is still in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, I’m the other one,” Senior White said.
Oh, so it’s Senior White Two?
Wait, it’s the mind reading technique again?
“This time, it isn’t the mind reading technique. I’m just reading your brain waves. Want some help? I’m in a pretty good mood today,” Senior White Two said. “Tell me a joke, and I’ll help you out.”
Song Shuhang’s eyes brightened up. The Netherworld Realm was Senior White Two’s backyard!
