Chapter 1829: Important matters first, fun later

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Senior White was worthy of being known as someone who liked farming the heavenly tribulation. He didn’t look troubled at all as he sealed the heavenly tribulation, and he even sealed each of the three bolts of lightning using different methods.

Although Senior White was unsure as to how Song Shuhang was going to ‘braise’ the three lightning bolts, he guessed that the way he sealed them might affect their taste. Therefore, he deliberately used different sealing techniques to seal them.

Senior White’s clone said calmly, “If the tribulation lightning is braised, it will definitely have an explosive taste, right?” He then stretched out his hand to bring the three sealed lightning bolts over, and handed them to Song Shuhang.

“It should indeed be delicious.” Song Shuhang recalled the description of the ?Braised Heavenly Tribulation? in Demon Emperor Hezhi’s Life Menu. From the description of the dish, it sounded like it would taste great.

Theoretically speaking, as long as he could synchronize his chef heart and demonic immortal cooking skills, and get help from the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, he should be able to perfectly reproduce the ?Braised Heavenly Tribulation?.

Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, opened his Inner World, and transferred the three sealed lightning bolts into it.

Senior White asked, “Are three bolts of tribulation lightning really enough?”

Song Shuhang pinched his chin. “These three bolts of tribulation lightning are pretty huge... so they should be enough, right?”

The three bolts of tribulation lightning had been kneaded into strips by Song Shuhang’s psychic energy. However, they were still the size of giant columns, with length ranging from 15 to 20 meters. Such large ingredients should be enough for the whole Nine Provinces Number One Group to enjoy.

Su Clan’s Sixteen asked, “Do you need any help while cooking?”

“Your help would be appreciated,” Song Shuhang said with a smile.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword paused slightly, and said, “If their volume doesn’t shrink too much, then they should be enough. However, many of the over 30 steps of the recipe consist of compression, liquefaction, and solidification. After the cooking process is over, it would already be not bad if these three bolts of lightning could keep one-tenth of their volume.”

Song Shuhang said, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword is right. After going through all the steps, the size of the tribulation lightning will definitely shrink greatly.”

Senior White asked, “So, should we seal some more tribulation lightning?”

After saying that, he turned to look at Su Kongyun.

There was a Third Stage heavenly tribulation right here ready for them.

Inside the tribulation-transcending formation, Su Kongyun was under a lot of pressure.

Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, Sage White, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, and Su Clan’s Sixteen were all staring at him. Everyone was waiting for the next wave of his heavenly tribulation to see if his ‘turtle shell’ would continue to bounce the tribulation lightning away.

More importantly, Su Kongyun’s ears had always been good, this being his special talent since childhood.

As such, even though there was some distance between them, he could clearly hear the entire conversation between his big sis, Senior Tyrannical Song, Sage White, and Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword.

They were waiting for his heavenly tribulation, and were... planning on turning it into a dish to eat.

Su Kongyun looked at the tribulation cloud that was charging up in the sky.

For some reason, as he thought about how the heavenly tribulation was going to be taken away by Senior Tyrannical Song and the others to be turned into a dish to be eaten, his respect for it greatly diminished.

It seemed that the heavenly tribulation wasn’t actually as terrifying as it was said to be…

On Heavenly Field Island.

The members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were still in high spirits.

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator eyes were glazed. He habitually reached out, and touched his pocket.?Eh? Where’s my phone?

Without a phone by his side, he couldn’t check the group chat, and Northern River’s Loose Cultivator was very unused to this feeling.

“By the way, has anyone seen my phone?” True Monarch Eternal Fire’s voice could be heard from the side.

At this time, True Monarch Eternal Fire was sitting coolly in a small pavilion, holding a glass of wine in his hand, and having just finished reciting a poem. Wine and poets made the best combination, with poets who had drunk a lot having their poetic inspiration heightened.

After reciting the poem, True Monarch Eternal Fire wanted to record it down, but he couldn’t find his phone.

Fairy Dongfang Snow asked, “Why is Fellow Daoist Eternal Fire looking for his phone?”

“I wanted to call little friend Song Shuhang as I forgot to tell him something.” True Monarch Eternal Fire laughed. “Previously, I made an appointment with him. After this banquet is over, I plan to go back to the scholarly faction with him to deal with some of the troubles there.”

These troubles were related to the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments and the world of the golden lotus.

True Monarch Eternal Fire wanted to learn from Song Shuhang how to transfer the fragments inside the world of the golden lotus to increase its area, allowing disciples of the scholarly faction to have more space for activities.

Despite having tried several times, the people back at the scholarly faction couldn’t transfer the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments into the world of the golden lotus.

In the distant starry sky.

An asteroid that was not reached by the sun’s light all year round was now shrouded in warm golden light.

In the artificial little sun, there was a humanoid figure faintly visible.

“Hiss~” At this moment, from behind the little sun, a fairy with slender legs stepped out—it was Soft Feather’s ghost spirit, who was possessed by the Heavenly Emperor.

“Damn, what magical technique was that?” The Heavenly Emperor rubbed her arms with both hands. Despite being in the body of a ghost spirit, her arms were covered with goosebumps.

She had come up with a huge plan, and she was concentrating on setting everything up properly.

But suddenly, a feeling of great comfort surged up, and she couldn’t stop it no matter what.

This comfortable feeling could only be described as domineering; no matter whether she wanted to feel it or not, it was forced on her.

In a sort of way, it was similar to ‘laughing’.

Laughing was good, but when someone tickled you, and forcefully made you laugh, it didn’t feel that great.

And this feeling of comfort came in waves.

She wondered as to what was happening to Soft Feather’s body.

The Heavenly Emperor said softly, “It looks like I need to temporarily cut off the connection between my body and Soft Feather’s. Otherwise, when I’m about to do something important, I might suddenly start feeling extremely comfortable and fail to reach my goal.”

To be honest, she now regretted occupying Soft Feather’s ghost spirit. Although Soft Feather’s ghost spirit matched her very well, its master was very unreliable. Soft Feather’s mind was simply too jumpy, and the Heavenly Emperor couldn’t keep up with her rhythm at all.

However, if she cut off her connection with Soft Feather, there would be a lot less fun.

“I need to focus on what’s important first. Fun can be put aside for a while.” The Heavenly Emperor stretched out her hand, and grabbed a scroll.

On it were written Chinese characters such as ‘scholarly faction’, ‘Ancient Heavenly City Fragments’, and ‘collecting’.

The Heavenly Emperor was the real owner of the Ancient Heavenly City Fragments, and she was collecting them. Her primary goal was to rebuild the Heavenly City now that she’d recovered.

In fact, she had already collected a lot of them.

Her next target was the scholarly faction as the latter had collected the largest number of Ancient Heavenly City Fragments back then.
