Earlier, when the virtuous lamia was still in her stickman state, she had grabbed the śarīra and patted it on her face, fusing with it and turning it into a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.
But now, she was grabbing the one-tenth of the 'liquid metal ball' and patting it on her chest … Was she trying to make the 'liquid metal ball' a part of her chest?
However, could she succeed?
The śarīra was just an inanimate object, and it was related to 'virtue', so it was understandable that it could be absorbed.
However, this' liquid metal ball 'was very likely the core of the clone of the ruler of the Netherworld. Even the core of Song Shuhang's Heart Aperture couldn't digest and absorb it, so could the virtuous lamia fuse with it?
Just as he was in deep thought … Song Shuhang sensed a change in the position of the virtuous lamia's chest.
The ball of liquid metal had really fused with the virtuous lamia's chest … However, it was just fusing, and not fusing with the virtuous lamia's body.
Afterward, a large amount of 'power of virtue' poured into the body of the virtuous lamia. It was the same state the virtuous lamia was in when she absorbed the śarīra.
It was just that the 'power of virtue' she absorbed this time was different from that of the śarīra.
The power of virtue absorbed from the śarīra contained the great compassion and wisdom of the senior monk. The power of virtue in this one-tenth of the 'liquid metal ball' contained dignity, rules, and punishment.
If the power of virtue of the senior monk was water, then the power of virtue in this ball of liquid metal was ice. Both were essentially 'power of virtue', but the forms they manifested were completely different.
Around thirty breaths of time. The power of virtue in the 'liquid metal ball' that the virtuous lamia patted on her chest was completely absorbed.
Then, Song Shuhang saw the virtuous lamia open her small mouth, and the 'liquid metal ball' drilled out of it.
Song Shuhang was a little disappointed. Obviously, the virtuous lamia was also unable to absorb the 'liquid metal ball', and could only extract the power of virtue from it.
The volume of the liquid metal ball was still the same as before.
However, Song Shuhang, Venerable White, and Ye Si could all see that this one-tenth of the size of the liquid metal ball had lost some of its luster compared to before. On the whole, it looked dull.
"The power of virtue inside was completely devoured and absorbed by the lamia you materialized." Venerable White said. At the same time, he stared at the lamia and sized her up. "I was wondering why the light of virtue you materialized looked so familiar. Isn't she the celestial maiden with a mole that we met in the Jade Lake Realm? "
Song Shuhang: "Yes, it's her. I suspect that it's because I released her from purgatory. After my light of merit materialized, it manifested into her appearance. "
"This is interesting." Venerable White pinched his chin. He also suddenly had the idea of learning the Soul Ferrying Technique. Venerable White wanted to see if he could also create an interesting 'materialization of the light of virtue'.
After losing the light of virtue, the body of the liquid metal ball emitted a strong aura of evil energy of the Netherworld. Soon after, an ethereal voice spread from the body of the liquid metal ball.
"Do you desire power?" The voice didn't sound the slightest bit emotionless. It seemed to be a recording?
Venerable White looked at Song Shuhang. "Is it asking you?"
"It should be," Song Shuhang said. "Does this metal ball have intelligence?"
Venerable White shook his head. "I'm not sure."
At this time, the emotionless voice came from the liquid metal ball again. "Do you … desire power?"
Ye Si said, "How about we give it a try?"
"Forget it. I feel like we'll be tricked no matter if we answer yes or no. Also, when faced with this question … I always want to answer: I desire power, "Song Shuhang said.
This joke was popular back then, so when Song Shuhang heard the first half of the sentence, he couldn't help but want to answer the second half.
Just as Song Shuhang finished speaking, the liquid metal ball in front of him suddenly changed.
A moment later, it turned into a lifelike liquid metal egg.
Song Shuhang: "…"
Venerable White: "…"
Ye Si: "…"
At this time, the emotionless voice tempted again. "As you wish, this is the doll you desire!"
"…" Song Shuhang: "…"
Is this thing here to be funny?
"Open your mind and reach out to grab me. Then, you'll get the doll you desire. Fuse with me, and you'll get an infinite number of dolls, "the emotionless voice said again.
"…" Song Shuhang: "…"
Ye Si: "Hahahaha ~"
Venerable White: "This should be the instinct left behind by the liquid metal ball. The evil energy of the Netherworld has the power to confuse and degenerate humans. Even if there's no one controlling it, it will still instinctively tempt human cultivators. "
Song Shuhang: "I feel that there are very few people in this world who would be attracted by this level of 'temptation'."
At this time, Ye Si suddenly said, "Eh? The [Writing of the Sage] is reacting!"
The [Writing of the Sage], which didn't have any reaction to the liquid metal ball before, suddenly shone brightly. Then, the book cloth fluttered and condensed a vast amount of righteous energy that fiercely suppressed the liquid metal ball.
The liquid metal ball, which was only one-tenth of its original size, was suppressed by the vast amount of righteous energy and changed once again. In an instant, it turned into a sharp sword that met the vast amount of righteous energy manifested by the [Writing of the Sage].
Neither the [Writing of the Sage] nor the sharp sword that the liquid metal ball had turned into had a mind of its own. They were just acting on instinct.
Venerable White said, "So that's how it is. Earlier, the liquid metal ball was protected by a huge amount of light of virtue, so the [Writing of the Sage] didn't react to it. But after losing the light of virtue, the [Writing of the Sage] started to attack it. "
However, the [Writing of the Sage] alone wasn't enough to suppress the liquid metal ball.
The sharp sword that the liquid metal ball had turned into gradually gained the upper hand, and the vast amount of righteous energy manifested by the [Writing of the Sage] was gradually weakened.
They had to find a way to deal with the liquid metal ball before the [Writing of the Sage] was defeated.
After a short moment, Song Shuhang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Nucleus, can you transfer this liquid metal ball to the main world?"
He recalled the last time when the black metal man broke a seal and appeared in the 'main world', only to be wiped out by a power similar to the heavenly tribulation.
Perhaps after losing the protection of the power of virtue, the ball of liquid metal would attract that power similar to the heavenly tribulation as soon as it appeared in the main world?
The nucleus shook slightly … and in the next moment, the ball of liquid metal that was one-tenth the size of the Inner World whizzed away.
"…" Song Shuhang.
Wait a moment! I only asked you if you could transfer it out, I didn't ask you to transfer it out immediately!
At this time, the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were still in the middle of discussing principles.
If the liquid metal ball was suddenly transferred out and attracted that power similar to the heavenly tribulation, the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group would be in trouble.
"Quickly send us out!" Song Shuhang quickly added.
"Whoosh ~"
Song Shuhang, Venerable White, and Ye Si were instantly sent back to the main world, and appeared in the place where the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were discussing principles.
…
…
As soon as he appeared, Song Shuhang saw that one-tenth the size of the ball of liquid metal floating in the middle of the seniors discussing principles.
The seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group looked at this thing with vigilance. This thing was full of the evil energy of the Netherworld Realm, and one could tell at a glance that it wasn't a good thing.
At the same time, Song Shuhang sensed that a kind of majestic power had emerged in the air … there was no mistaking it. It was the same power that had wiped out the black metal man the last time.
After appearing, Song Shuhang shouted, "Seniors, be careful! Disperse!"
"Boom ~" In the air, the power similar to the heavenly tribulation had already taken shape, and fell on the body of the ball of liquid metal.
"Rip ~"
With just a single blow, the ball of liquid metal that was one-tenth the size of the ball turned into smoke, disappearing without a trace.
Luckily, the volume of the ball of liquid metal this time was very small.
The majestic power of the heavenly tribulation didn't cause much damage.
"Heavenly tribulation?" Prince Phoenix Slayer said in puzzlement.
True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon said, "It doesn't seem like the heavenly tribulation. Although the heavenly tribulation is cruel, there are fifty great ways and forty-nine heavenly evolutions. If a person escapes from one of them, they will always have a chance to survive. However, that power just now gave off the feeling of 'killing intent', and didn't leave any chance for survival. "
"Shuhang Little Friend, what was that thing just now? Why did it get 'killed'?" Beihe Sanren asked.
"It's a long story … that thing just now is very likely a clone of the ruler of the Netherworld, or something similar. As far as I know, the ruler of the Netherworld can't enter the main world … and that's why that power got 'killed', "Song Shuhang replied.
Next, Song Shuhang seized the opportunity to tell the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group about the information he'd recently obtained about the ruler of the Netherworld looking for someone or something to merge with in order to return to the world of mortals.
At the beginning, Song Shuhang had told the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group about the two ordinary people he'd met in Wenzhou City that had been tempted by the evil energy of the Netherworld.
Next, he told them about the information he'd obtained from Senior White Two, as well as about the black metallic man that had come out of the underground of the 250th branch and shouted at the sky, 'merging'.
As for the name 'Senior White Two', Song Shuhang was unable to describe it in the main world. Whenever he mentioned the name 'Senior White Two', he would automatically mute it into 'beep, beep, beep ~'.
However, the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had already gotten used to it. Everyone knew that Song Shuhang had a special source of information. During the battle between the scholarly faction's White Cloud Academy and the demons of the Netherworld, the information Song Shuhang obtained from that mysterious person changed the entire situation.
After Song Shuhang finished speaking, the seniors of the group turned silent.
This news was rather shocking.
"The mastermind behind this is unexpectedly the ruler of the Netherworld?" Prince Phoenix Slayer didn't know what to say.
At first, he thought that it was just a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender of the Netherworld Realm that was playing tricks … but he didn't expect that the opposite party would directly become the final boss.
"How should we deal with it?" Beihe Sanren said. To tell the truth, this matter was already beyond the scope of the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Venerable White said, "How about this? Let's first pass this information to the sect leaders of the various sects and schools … no matter how many fellow daoists in the world of cultivators believe in this matter, we still have to make preparations.
"In addition, the ruler of the Netherworld Realm is still looking for a way to enter the main world, and it hasn't succeeded yet. Such being the case, since it already has a plan, we should try our best to ruin it. If it really manages to leave the Netherworld Realm one day and enter the main world … there are bound to be some hidden seniors in the main world that will step forward to deal with it. "
Just as the fellow daoists were discussing, Ye Si drilled out of Song Shuhang's body and arrived at the place where the ball of liquid metal had been destroyed.
The ball of liquid metal had directly turned into smoke, leaving behind a fingernail-sized piece of metal on the ground.
"Shuhang, come over and take a look." Ye Si called out. She didn't stretch out her hand to touch the piece of metal. After all, it was something left behind by the ball of liquid metal.
Song Shuhang got up and arrived next to Ye Si, looking at the fingernail-sized piece of metal. "That guy didn't die even after all this?"
This vitality was a little too strong, wasn't it?
"How should we deal with it?" Ye Si asked.
Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, and said, "Ye Si, prepare a healing technique for me."
After saying this much, he stretched out his hand and took off the glove on his right hand, pointing at the piece of metal.
It was just a piece of metal that was left behind after the clone of the ruler of the Netherworld was destroyed. Even if he were to use the secret appraisal technique, the price he would have to pay shouldn't be too high.
It would be great if he could find a way to completely destroy the piece of metal.
Song Shuhang activated the secret appraisal technique of his own accord.
The golden Runes that he hadn't seen in a long time flashed in front of his eyes and fell on the piece of metal. Soon after, the golden Runes changed into the shape of a clock, with the hands of the clock starting to move backwards.
The golden Runes returned to Song Shuhang's eyes.
At the same time, two faint scars appeared on Song Shuhang's right hand … but before Ye Si could use the healing technique, the two scars had already healed.
After eating the seed of the Sinful Black Lotus, Song Shuhang's self-healing ability was quite good.
At the same time, information related to this piece of metal appeared in Song Shuhang's mind.
[Mutated black metal of tribulation of the path, born after experiencing the tribulation of the path. It's a rare and precious forging material. It was once used as a sacrificial offering for the will of the ruler of the Netherworld Realm to descend into the main world. Now that the will of the ruler of the Netherworld Realm has been thoroughly erased, the black metal of tribulation of the path has undergone a miraculous mutation.]
The content of the appraisal technique was very simple, and only a few sentences were enough to introduce the piece of metal.
Song Shuhang smiled.
[Mutated black metal of tribulation of the path, a rare forging material. Moreover, the will of the ruler of the Netherworld Realm within it had been thoroughly erased.
It was a treasure.
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and picked up the piece of black metal.
"Is there no problem?" Ye Si asked.
Song Shuhang nodded. "There is no problem. It's just a very good forging material."
His luck had been pretty good recently, and he had obtained quite a few forging materials.
