Chapter 1443 A saint bathed in holy light
Song Shuhangs mood worsened.
Why would I want to use a magical treasure like the Cross of Resurrection?
After all, wasnt this magical treasure one used for resurrecting?
Did I... die again?
(Ah, I went too far again.) Fairy Skylarks famous words suddenly resurfaced in Song Shuhangs mind.
After messing things up, Fairy Skylark would calm down and then face the problem. However, Fairy Skylark was different. She had the bone of eternity, and had no need to worry about dying at all.
Song Shuhang, on the other hand, did not.
He looked up at the sky and remained silent for a long time.
Why do I not feel like Im dead?
He lowered his head and looked at his body. Although Ive become smoke, Im still alive, right?
As such, I should choose the [No] option. After all, Im still alive.
If he was alive, there was no need to waste the Cross of Resurrection.
Therefore, the logical choice was [No).
However...
Song Shuhang couldnt bring himself to press the (No] button. What if... he had really died?
The Cross of Resurrection must have sensed that his state was one of death, and thus prompted him with this choice.
If he chose not to use the Cross of Resurrection now, would he lose the opportunity to use it later? Would he really die if that happened?
Song Shuhang felt tired as he thought of this.
Senior Thrice Reckless said that people who sought death wouldnt have bad luck, so what was going on with him? Why had he died again? What happened to his luck? Was it eaten by Doudou or something?
This matter was related to his life... so should he use the Cross of Resurrection?
Damn it! Ive only just bought the Cross of Resurrection. I didnt even get the chance to take a good look at it yet. Song Shuhangs heart ached so much that he couldnt even breathe.
Moreover, how long had it been since the last time he revived?
The last time that he had died was when he was forging his life-bound magical treasure, the Defiant Whale Warriors Glove. At that time, his liquefied body suddenly died and merged with the life-bound magical treasure. This caused him to have a life-bound magical treasure like no other, unique from those of other practitioners.
Senior Turtle asked in puzzlement, What happened?
Song Shuhang said, Im so tired.
? Senior Turtle.
Song Shuhang asked, Senior Turtle, do you think that I am alive? Or do you think that I am dead?
Why are you asking these philosophical questions? Senior Turtle asked in reply.
I just want to know whether Im alive or dead in my current state. Song Shuhang smiled bitterly, and said, Just now, a resurrection magical treasure of mine sent me a message, asking me if I wanted to use it or not.
... Senior Turtle.
Senior Turtle was unsure as to what to think about Song Shuhang. Sometimes, it felt that this lad had peerless luck... but at other times, it felt that he was drowned in misfortune. Not long after it met Song Shuhang, Song Shuhang had already used two resurrection magical treasures. If he were to use another one now, that would be his third one.
This was the first that it had seen a practitioner use resurrection magical treasures at such a pace.
Senior Turtle sighed and looked at Song Shuhang carefully.
Song Shuhangs smoky state was very strange.
If one argued that he was dead, you could tell them that he seemed to be alive and kicking.
Yet, you still couldnt list any of the characteristics of a living person...
This was especially so with the bright and colorful light at his waist, which made people feel that it was rather out of sorts.
Senior Turtle couldnt come to a definite conclusion for a while.
Senior Turtle said, I dont have any way of arriving at a definite conclusion on whats happening to you right now.
Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.
At this time, the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group saw that Song Shuhangs expression didnt seem to be great, and they all gathered around him.
(Shuhang, how did you end up in this state?] At this time, the gentle voice of the White Dragon sounded in Song Shuhangs mind.
Song Shuhang replied, Im not so sure myself, but perhaps it has something to do with Senior White.
Senior Yellow Mountain said, Then, why not ask Fellow Daoist White?
Song Shuhang said, Senior White is resting right now, and he wont be able to reply for some time.
...When he had asked Senior Turtle about his state, he had first attempted to contact Senior White, but he did not answer him.
Soft Feather suggested, Senior Song, if you want to determine whether or not youre alive... Why not go and find Senior Copper Trigram? Have him perform divination about you, divining your life and death.
Northern Rivers Loose Cultivator nodded, and said, Thats a good idea.
But the problem with that is... Do any of you know where that shady fortune teller is at the moment? Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said. I heard that he was going to participate in this times Immortal Feast, but if he doesnt show himself, well have a difficult time ascertaining what appearance he had assumed this time.
Fairy Lychee said, And theres a chance that he was kept on that island and made to work on producing a child.
Su Clans Sixteen came to Song Shuhangs side and gently grabbed his hand. As long as she was careful, she wouldnt cause Song Shuhangs hand to dissipate from grabbing too hard.
Just use it, Su Clans Sixteen said earnestly. At most, another Song Shuhang Two is going to be born.
Song Shuhang said, To be honest, what Im more worried about is something weird happening to me while Im in the middle of revival.
After thinking about it, Su Clans Sixteen said via secret sound transmission, Then... Can you still use the secret appraisal technique? That secret technique should be able to help you, right? She knew that Song Shuhang had a secret appraisal technique that would cause him to spew out blood as a price every time he used it.
Most of the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group knew of this as well.
However, there werent only the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group in the surroundings right now, so Su Clans Sixteen reminded him in secret.
Song Shuhang said, I cant believe I forgot about that.
Su Clans Sixteen said, Can you use it? If so, well protect you while you do so.
Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and pressed it on his body, urging the secret appraisal technique.
The secret appraisal technique was successfully activated.
In the next moment, a lot of smoke was ejected from Song Shuhangs body. However, just like when he had been in the liquefied state that Young Master Phoenix Slayer had put him in before, the smoke quickly returned to Song Shuhangs body after being ejected.
An elemental body was particularly amazing at such times as it completely removed the aftereffect of spewing out blood.
I need to know whether Im alive or dead!
The rune of the secret appraisal technique returned to Song Shuhangs eye, and the results of the appraisal appeared in his mind.
[Song Shuhang. Male. Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor. Sage Name: Tyrannical Song. Demon Name: Tyrannical Scholar. Current state: neither alive nor dead, temporarily in a pseudo-eternal state. Remaining duration: 56 minutes 12 seconds.]
Pseudo-eternal state?
Neither alive nor dead?
Song Shuhang could guess that his current condition, which was neither alive nor dead, was the result of this pseudo-eternal state.
In other words, when the pseudo-eternal state ended, he would return to his original state.
If he used the Cross of Resurrection at this time, would his body change again because of the pseudo-eternal state that he was in?
However, this kind of thing was simply seeking death too much.
Its decided, lets deny the resurrection!
Just as Song Shuhang decided to refuse the activation of the Cross of Resurrection, a voice came directly into his mind.
[Hello? Shuhang, are you there? I sensed your aura return to the Inner World.]
It was Senior White Twos voice.
Song Shuhang immediately replied, (Yeah, I just returned to the Inner World. That fat ball almost beat me to death, and I feel really tired.]
Senior White Two said, [Mm-hm, I did sense yours and the fat balls aura. Dont worry. I am taking revenge for you. Ive taken away the fat balls lair, now its fuming mad.)
... Song Shuhang.
Suddenly, I feel even more tired.
[By the way, theres something I need from you. I remember that you have a lot of heavenly tribulation nuclear bombs in your Inner World, right?] Senior White Two said.
If something like a heavenly tribulation nuclear bomb were to explode in the Netherworld Realm, its power would rise to a terrifying degree due to the restraining effect it had on the Netherworld.
He was planning on sending some nuclear bombs over to the fat ball as a giftthe more the better, as the power would be stronger the more there were.
Song Shuhang nodded, and replied, (However, these heavenly tribulation nuclear bombs were entrusted to me by the main worlds Senior White, so I dont actually own them.]
Senior White Two said, (He and I are both your Senior White, so theres no need to differentiate between us. Just send me a batch of nuclear bombs. When the time comes, I will let that White go to my treasury to pick something of equivalent value. The treasures in my treasury were accumulated over millions of years, they definitely wouldnt disappoint him Eh?]
While he was speaking, Senior White Twos voice suddenly paused.
Senior White Two said, [What is with your state? How strange.]
Song Shuhang nodded, and replied, (Im in a pseudo-eternal state, neither alive nor dead. I ended up like this due to the Senior White from the main world.)
(So thats the case. No wonder the style of this thing seemed similar to mine. Let me take a closer look.] Senior White Two became interested.
After a while.
Senior White Two said, (So, your resurrection magical treasure is currently asking you whether or not you want to activate it?]
Song Shuhang said, (It might be because of my neither-alive-nor-dead state, but it doesnt matter, my pseudo-eternal state will end soon.]
Senior White Two asked, [Its going to end soon? Then, what are you waiting for? Why havent you revived yet?]
Song Shuhang replied, [Im not dead yet, Senior White.]
Senior White Two said, (Youre too naive. Do you think that the pseudo-eternal state your body is in is some kind of joke? Thats something that imitates the attributes of the Wielder of the Will! In this state, the energy that is consumed every minute and every second is beyond your imagination. If Im right, what it has been consuming is your vitality. The moment this state ends, your life will also end.)
Song Shuhang was taken aback. (Its that serious?]
Senior White Two seriously said, (Just revive first. I will protect you during this time. If an accident happens midway, Ill intervene.]
Song Shuhang heard this and nodded.
He solemnly said, Activate! The Cross of Resurrection was activated.
In the next moment, a gentle holy light emerged from behind Song Shuhang, and the huge projection of a cross appeared.
The holy light gently shone on Song Shuhangs body, turning the black smoke that made up his body into a golden color.
At this time, Song Shuhang looked like a saint being reborn, bathed in holy light. Senior White Two suddenly said, (Tsk, the stench of holy light, Eh, wait, I seem to have been mistaken. What the pseudo-eternal state is consuming isnt actually your energy.]
... Song Shuhang. Senior White Two, youre making me want to break ties with you.
