Its hobbies and personality were a mystery, and its taboos often changed. Even its appearance was varied. Was this a senior spirit beast that had the ability to transform, and every time it transformed, it would take on a different personality?
Just like that, Song Shuhang followed Nine Lanterns to the pier, and they followed the long road until they arrived in front of a huge palace.
The palace was incomparably luxurious, and it didn't seem like something from the mortal world.
There was no one guarding the entrance of the palace.
Nine Lanterns brought him directly into the palace.
After entering the main hall, Song Shuhang saw rows of musical instruments on both sides of the hall. There were zithers, pipas, bells, and all kinds of ancient instruments.
No one was playing these instruments, but the strings moved automatically, and the bells chimed, creating a pleasant melody. It was truly a mystical sight.
In front of the palace, there was a huge platform. The platform was covered with more than ten layers of animal fur, and it looked very soft and comfortable.
Then, there was a ball of lightning lying on the platform, motionless.
If one looked carefully, they would see that there was a round pig within the ball of lightning, and it was even rounder than the one on the parasol tree at the entrance of the valley.
"Tsk, is it in the form of a pig today?" Nine Lanterns muttered.
The form of a pig was one of the thirty-six forms of this senior spirit beast, and it was one of the more troublesome ones.
On the platform, the huge pig that was surrounded by lightning slowly opened its eyes and glanced at Nine Lanterns and Song Shuhang. Then, it closed its eyes again.
"Senior, I'm here to find you!" Nine Lanterns shouted at the spirit beast on the platform.
The huge pig opened its eyes again and opened its mouth, but no sound came out.
The veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead faintly bulged as she took a deep breath and said, "Senior Tianlei Pig, Nine Lanterns is here to find you!"
The huge pig opened its eyes again and seemed to be trying its best to look at Nine Lanterns. "Oh."
After a while, the huge pig moved its body and said, "It's Nine Lanterns."
After a while, the huge pig panted and said, "Nine Lanterns, don't disturb Senior. Senior, I'm... sick. "
The veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead bulged as she asked, "Senior, what illness do you have?"
"Senior, I have an incurable disease." The huge pig panted. Just saying a few words made him pant like a ventilator.
Even powerful spirit beasts could fall sick? Song Shuhang was puzzled.
"What incurable disease?" The veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead slightly calmed down.
"It's cancer." The huge pig revealed a bitter smile. "This disease is too scary."
"Are you kidding me?!" Nine Lanterns angrily roared, "You're a Seventh Stage Venerable Spirit Beast. Where did you get a cancer for fun?"
It looked like a huge, fat pig. He was actually a rank seven Exalted, an existence on the same level as Venerable White.
"I didn't mean to lie to you." The huge pig's eyes were filled with sadness, as if it was going to die at any moment.
Song Shuhang asked curiously, "What cancer is it?"
Nine Lanterns rubbed her forehead, then clasped her palms together and began to silently chant a scripture.
The giant pig sighed heavily. "It's a type of cancer called laziness. It's already in the late stage. Medicine won't work."
"…" Song Shuhang.
"Laziness my ass! Didn't you say that there was something wrong with your chrysanthemum and that you wanted to change your name to Chrysanthemum Pig? Pfff …" Before Nine Lanterns could finish her sentence, a huge hole suddenly appeared beneath her feet. She immediately fell into it.
"Aaaaah!" Nine Lanterns' screams echoed, and her voice became more and more distant.
This hole seemed to be quite deep. Moreover, there was definitely a formation that restricted flight, so that she wouldn't be able to fly back if she fell in.
After Nine Lanterns fell down, a stone slab moved back from the top of the hole and covered it.
"Cough, cough. She really doesn't know how to learn her lesson. Last time, I clearly told her to keep quiet and not make any noise. Don't shout. Why can't she remember? "Senior Lightning Pig, who had the cancer of laziness, murmured. He put down the remote control for a mechanism in his paw.
"…" Song Shuhang.
After dealing with Nine Lanterns, the small eyes of the Lightning Pig turned around and stared at Song Shuhang. "Little guy, don't worry. "Little fellow, who are you?"
"Junior Song Shuhang greets Senior." Song Shuhang bowed respectfully.
The Tianlei pig knocked its head with its paw.
After a while, it asked curiously, "Do we know each other?"
Song Shuhang shook his head. "Junior was brought here by Miss Nine Lanterns, and this is my first time meeting Senior."
"Oh." The Tianlei pig silently nodded. It then closed its eyes and prepared to sleep.
"…" Song Shuhang.
Fortunately... The Tianlei pig immediately opened its eyes. "Speaking of which, why did Nine Lanterns bring you here? Does she have something to ask of me?"
"Yes, she wants me to see if I can get a Skeletal Dragon's Withered Vine from Senior," Song Shuhang replied sincerely.
Since he didn't know this senior's personality and taboo, it was better to be sincere.
"Skeletal Dragon's Withered Vine? Oh, so you're thinking about the Flood Dragon's skeleton that I collected. " The Tianlei pig laughed and waved its paw. "Little fellow, I can give you the Skeletal Dragon's Withered Vine. It's just that my laziness is acting up again, and I need to rest and recuperate. Why don't you come again next time? I'll give it to you the next time you come. It's not worth much anyway. "
"…" Song Shuhang.
"Oh right, don't just stand there and stare at me. If someone stares at me, I won't be able to sleep." The Tianlei pig waved its paw again. It seemed like it was trying to chase someone away.
Song Shuhang thought for a while and asked, "Senior, may I ask when I need to come again?"
"Three hundred years later. This time, I'm going to sleep to my heart's content — no, this time, I'm going to defeat my illness and get rid of the laziness cancer!" The Tianlei pig said while gnashing its teeth.
"…" Song Shuhang.
These seniors with profound cultivations were so willful that they could sleep for three hundred years.
But three hundred years later, he might have already turned into ashes. Su Clan's Shiliu couldn't wait for three hundred years.
Thus, Song Shuhang carefully asked, "Senior, how can I get the Skeletal Dragon's Withered Vine in advance?"
The Tianlei pig opened its eyes and sighed. "As long as you don't disturb me."
Song Shuhang clenched his teeth and asked, "Senior, what exactly do I need to do?"
"It's literally what it means!" The Tianlei pig sighed.
Of course, Song Shuhang knew what it meant, but he couldn't wait for three hundred years. Thus, Song Shuhang stared at the huge body of the Tianlei pig without blinking.
"…" The Tianlei pig was speechless.
In the next moment, it reached for the remote control on the side.
Song Shuhang's scalp went numb. This was a remote control that had suddenly appeared and swallowed Nine Lanterns. Thus, he quickly jumped to the side!
"How naive." The Tianlei pig sneered.
In the next moment, the entire floor of the hall was emptied, revealing a bottomless pit.
"Aaaaah …" Song Shuhang miserably screamed and fell into the pit.
… …
… …
"Ah … I can finally have a good sleep. This time, I'll definitely sleep for three hundred years." The Tianlei pig muttered and pressed the remote control again. The empty floor quickly returned to normal.
Then, the Tianlei pig closed its eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Lightning crackled and flickered on its body.
The dazzling lightning gradually dissipated, revealing a bone-deep wound on the other side of the Tianlei pig's body. There was a black mist surging around the wound, preventing it from healing.
However, the lightning was too dazzling, and even Nine Lanterns didn't notice the wound on its body.
* * * * *
Song Shuhang felt that his body was continuously falling, as if the abyss was bottomless.
I won't keep falling until I fall out of the Heavenly Island, right? He thought to himself.
Just as he was thinking about this, his body suddenly became light, and he floated upward.
After floating for around an inch, he slowly landed on the ground.
He could feel the rubble of the ground beneath his feet.
What happened?
At this time, the faint voice of Nine Lanterns came from the side. "You were also thrown down."
Song Shuhang turned his head toward the source of the voice and could faintly see Nine Lanterns' bald head in the darkness. She was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a depressed expression on her face.
"Miss Nine Lanterns." After seeing her, Song Shuhang felt relieved. "How are we going to get out?"
"After that fat pig sleeps enough, it will let us out. It was the same as last time," Nine Lanterns said faintly. She seemed to be very experienced.
"…" Song Shuhang.
Song Shuhang said, "Speaking of which, Senior Lightning Pig said that it was going to fight against the cancer of laziness and sleep for 300 years."
"Three hundred years? Are you kidding me?! "The veins on Nine Lanterns' forehead bulged again." What else did it say to you? "
Song Shuhang then told Nine Lanterns about his conversation with Tianlei Senior Pig.
"Damn it, even if it wants to sleep for three hundred years, it should have let me out first! I'll remember this! When I reach the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm, I'll make sure it sleeps once a year for a year, never to wake up again! "Nine Lanterns said angrily while clenching her teeth.
"Miss Nine Lanterns, can't we climb out of this hole?" Song Shuhang asked, puzzled.
"The walls of the hole are full of restrictions carved by that fat pig, so we won't be able to climb out," Nine Lanterns said gloomily. "Moreover, there's also a powerful flight restriction formation. Unless you have the strength of a Seventh Stage Venerable, you won't be able to fly even if you have ten pairs of wings."
Song Shuhang pondered, and said, "In that case, is there a hidden exit here?"
"When I fell down the last time, I searched every inch of this place, but I couldn't find any secret exit," Nine Lanterns said gloomily, resting her chin in her hand.
"Then, how are we going to get out? Do we really have to wait for three hundred years? "
"Don't worry, I came prepared this time," Nine Lanterns said as she pointed at her greenish-white monk robe. Nine Lanterns said as she pointed at her greenish-white monk robes. "The reason I changed my clothes before coming here was to deal with the situation before us!"
As she spoke, she started to take off her greenish-white monk robe.
