What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 477
477 Crossing the Tribulation at the Gate of My Sect? (2)
The snotty kid pointed to the other side.
“Have you heard of the Dian Cang Sword Sect?” Song Shi plucked a handful of grass to feed the sheep. He found it rather interesting.
The grass here was very lush. It grew so well that it was a few feet tall and contained a certain spirituality.
“It seems to be on the immortal mountain over there. It’s very, very far away. Only immortals can reach it.”
The snot-nosed child smiled innocently. “Brother is an immortal. I’ll definitely be able to find him.”
Song Shi smiled. He was certain that this was the territory of the Dian Cang Sword Sect. It was not difficult to find a sect that even a child knew about.
“Yao Wa, who are you talking to?”
A tall and sturdy-looking woman walked over. There were traces of wind and frost on her dark face, and there was some kind of totem tattoo between her eyebrows.
“Mother, I’m talking to an immortal. Come and take a look.”
The snot-nosed child did not have any thoughts and happily showed off to his mother. “In the future, I’ll also be a child who has seen an immortal.”
The smile on Song Shi’s face intensified. This carefree state was actually not bad. It made him want to stay here for a few days.
His presence made the woman’s expression change. She hurriedly ran over. When she saw that Song Shi was not fierce, she heaved a sigh of relief and bowed to Song Shi. “Greetings, Immortal. He’s a child who doesn’t know any better. Please forgive us if he has offended you.”
“Don’t be nervous. I’m just passing by. I don’t have any ill intentions.”
Song Shi waved his hand and asked directly, “How far is this place from the Dian Cang Sword Sect?”
“According to the chief, it’s more than a hundred thousand miles away. It’s southwest of here.”
The woman answered respectfully.
“Thank you. I only stopped to ask for directions.”
Song Shi nodded. He still had to head to the Dian Cang Sword Sect to carry out his recruitment. He could not waste someone else’s teleportation array for nothing, right?
The woman said fearfully, “Elder Immortal, you’re too kind. It’s our honor to be able to point the way for you.”
“I won’t disturb you for nothing. Your youngest child has talent in cultivation. Are you willing to let him walk the path of cultivation in the future?”
Song Shi asked.
“Ah, my youngest child can become an immortal!” The woman was pleasantly surprised. “Immortal, I’m definitely willing.”
“Then I will give the child something good.”
Song Shi touched the snot-nosed baby’s head. The nearby Spiritual Qi gathered and slowly surged into the snot-nosed baby’s body with a colorful glow. It underwent a simple meridian cleansing to strengthen the child’s foundation.
To him, this was just a casual gesture. To this child, it could be considered a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“Mother, I really want to sleep.”
The snot-nosed child was still young. Under the nourishment of the Spiritual Qi, he revealed a tired expression. After blinking a few times, he fell asleep. The woman was so frightened that she thought that something had happened.
“Don’t worry. The child hasn’t cultivated, so he won’t be able to absorb the Spiritual Qi for a while. This is a normal physical reaction. He’ll be fine after a nap.”
Song Shi shook his head and looked at the lamb that was eating grass and not leaving. He said, “I’m hungry so I will go now. I hope you don’t mind me taking a lamb.”
After saying that, a gust of wind blew and he disappeared with the sheep.
The woman looked around in a daze. After she regained her senses, she picked up her child and walked back.
In the sky, a huge black and white gourd floated slowly. Song Shi sat on it. The lamb had already turned into lamb chops, lamb ribs, haggis, and so on. He knocked on the gourd, and a ball of fire emerged as he began to cook.
The calabash beneath him was a special Dharma treasure he had obtained from the Rainbow Pavilion. It was called the Yin-Yang Gourd. There were two spaces inside, one Yin and one Yang. It could release the Yin-Yang Cold Qi and the Sun Sacred Flame to attack the enemy. It could also accept the enemy and refine them. It was a low-grade Numinous treasure.
The Numinous treasures drawn by the System also had Artifact Spirits, but they were only the most primitive Artifact Spirits. They did not have any human-like intelligence. It was not a problem to let them do whatever they wanted, but it was definitely not possible to have a heart-to-heart.
This made him think of the talkative old furnace he encountered in the lower realm. If this gourd was also like this, it wouldn’t be so quiet.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
The mutton quickly turned golden and the fragrance assaulted the nose. Song Shi took a bite. The taste was not as good as the dragon and phoenix meat, but it still had a unique flavor.
He took out the wine he had left behind last time and took a sip. He sighed. “It’s good to be carefree.”
Sitting on the Yin-Yang Gourd, Song Shi flew at a moderate speed. He gradually ate a sheep until only its bones were left.
“The sheeps of the Upper Realm are indeed different.”
Satisfied, Song Shi lay on the calabash and muttered. He realized that the top of his head was turning black. When he focused his gaze, he saw a dark cloud gathering.
“Eh, why do I feel like these dark clouds are coming for me?”
Song Shi suddenly sat up and realized that the dark clouds were really chasing after him.
“…”
He was stunned for a moment. With a bang, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. He remembered something.
Mortal Cleansing Pills!
“I still have the aura of the lower realm on me. In fact… I even have the aura of the Heavenly Demon World.”
Song Shi was deep in thought. Lightning flashed above his head, and the lightning tribulation that had been brewing struck down.
He and the Yin Yang Gourd sank at the same time. As the lightning flowed through Song Shi’s body, lightning runes appeared on his muscles and bones. He was directly immune to a portion of the lightning, and the rest was absorbed to strengthen himself.
The entire process was like a Purification. Song Shi emitted a lustrous glow from head to toe. He pursed his lips. “This bit of lightning can’t kill me.”
The lightning tribulation did not stop. The second one began to brew. Song Shi could not be bothered with it and continued on his way.
At the same time, in the Black Tortoise Palace’s Heaven Observation Hall, a suspended mirror suddenly lit up, projecting a dark cloud. It was the scene of Song Shi transcending the tribulation.
As the distance was too far and the projection was too blurry, Song Shi’s appearance could not be seen clearly. He could only tell that a figure was transcending the tribulation on a calabash Dharma treasure.
However, the Heaven Observation Mirror made a sound.
“Those with the aura of another world have entered the Mystic North Continent. Attention, this target has the aura of the Heavenly Demon World on him. We need to pay attention to him!”
Supreme Saint Qianhe, who was sitting cross-legged under the mirror, opened his eyes and swept his gaze over. “Inform the Heaven Punishment Hall and the War Demon Hall to take a look. It’s very likely that a demon with no aura hidden is appearing in the Mystic North Continent. Capture him before he disguises himself.”
The news quickly spread and the cultivators of Heaven Punishment Hall and War Demon Hall immediately moved.
Song Shi still did not know that he was being targeted, so he calmly endured the lightning tribulation and advanced.
He felt that even without the Mortal Cleansing Pills, he would be able to quickly integrate into this world after a few more strikes. Perhaps he could save the process of eating the Mortal Cleansing Pills.
After being struck three times, he was fine. Instead, the light of the gourd dimmed a little.
Worried that the calabash would be damaged, Song Shi put it away and used Divine Teleportation Footwork. With a single step, he could travel thousands of kilometers.
When Song Shi saw his ability, he said excitedly, “After reaching Great Mastery, I’m so powerful already. This step is comparable to a long-distance Teleportation.”
He looked up at the blue sky and white clouds. The lightning tribulation actually could not keep up with his speed.
At this moment, he stopped and the dark clouds gradually gathered again.
“Hehe.”
Song Shi smirked. “Chase after me, Lightning Tribulation!”
He laughed and took another step away. The lightning tribulation that had just brewed paused for a moment before it was forced to disperse.
However, Song Shi was still in the Mystic Spirit World. He was affected by the rules. No matter how fast he was, he could not walk out of this world. Therefore, he could not avoid the lightning tribulation. At most, he would be delayed.
Perhaps it was because he was deliberately dodging, but the reaction of the laws of heaven and earth was even more intense. The lightning tribulation that was brewing was also increasing in intensity. Song Shi would leave in a flash every time, and he did not have the time to notice it.
Ten steps later, Song Shi crossed a hundred thousand miles and arrived at a mountainous area.
The mountain range here was layered, and there was nothing in the center of the snow-capped mountains. However, Song Shi could still sense the powerful Array Formation fluctuations. It was at the highest front mountain peak.
He stopped and emitted a portion of his aura as he shouted, “Is this the Dian Cang Sword Sect’s location?”
His voice spread out like waves, creating ripples that happened to reveal the Array Formation.
Sword beams flew out of the Array Formation. On a closer look, they were all cultivators on flying swords with vigilant expressions.
The leading cultivator was like a sword. He wore a white robe and had a fierce aura. His cultivation base was at the Late Void Refinement Realm. He said coldly, “Who are you? Tell me your name!”
“I…”
Song Shi cupped his fists and was about to speak when with a rumble, dark clouds gathered above his head. Gusts erupted around him, and lightning tribulation quickly formed, causing the area within a thousand miles to suddenly darken.
The white-robed man looked at the lightning tribulation floating above Song Shi’s head and his expression darkened. “Are you crazy? Why did you come to my sect to transcend the tribulation?”
“Uh, sir, you’ve misunderstood. I just happened to encounter a lightning tribulation on the way here. Wait a moment, I’ll be done soon.”
Song Shi smiled awkwardly and took a step back to transcend the tribulation.
