Little Cai said, “Could there be some parts of Lady Onion’s roots left behind here? I’ve heard before that when a monster plant comes out of the ground after cultivating, they would occasionally leave some roots in the ground when they emerge. Therefore, most monster plants choose to build immortal caves where their roots are.”

Lady Onion shook her head, and said, “I didn’t leave behind any roots in the ground, that’s for sure.”

Loli Shi asked, “What kind of treasure would Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven leave behind for Lady Onion? Would it be something like an ancient medicinal pill or something, one that could help her rise to the Fifth or Sixth Stage Realm?”

Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “How could there be such an elixir in this world? And even if there was, there would only be one end for anyone who eats it: death.”

All the practitioners in the universe were subject to the heavenly tribulation every time they ascend a stage. If there was really a pill that could raise one’s realm to the Fifth or Sixth Stage, with them having no time to consolidate their realm, learn new skills, and arrange a tribulation-transcending formation after they swallowed the pill, the only path left for them was death.

Song Shuhang said, “We’ll figure it out when we dig around and have a look. Lady Onion, you should do it yourself. After all, it’s something that Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven left behind for you.”

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven had the kindness to guide Song Shuhang in learning a technique. Based on this fact, Song Shuhang would not take the treasures left behind for Lady Onion.

Lady Onion took a deep breath, and then her body expanded… From a small green onion, she became a gigantic green onion sprout the size of a human. She still didn’t plan on showing her humanoid form.

Then, she reached out and hit the ground. After doing so, a piece of crimson jade sparkled in the hole she just made.

“What is this?” Shi hurriedly leaned towards the jade, but as soon as she approached, she felt a wave of heat assault her. The true qi in her body erupted spontaneously to protect her. Then, she quickly retreated to avoid the wave of heat.

“Hot, hot!” Shi’s face flushed and she waved her hand again and again.

Strangely enough, although Shi had almost been scalded, Lady Onion was not harmed by the wave of heat in the least. She stayed beside the hole, staring at the crimson jade without moving.

Su Clan’s Sixteen also moved a little closer. With her cultivation at the Fourth Stage Realm, she could afford to do so. However, she couldn’t stay too close to this jade. The temperature of this crimson jade was so high that even a cultivator at the Fourth Stage Realm wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “I’ve never seen anything like this, but I’m sure it must be a good treasure.”

Song Shuhang said, “Lady Onion, this should be the treasure left for you by Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven. Take it out.”

“Mm-hm.” Lady Onion nodded. Her sprouts bent down as she grabbed the crimson jade with both hands, and then pulled hard.

However, the jade didn’t budge.

Lady Onion gritted her teeth, and used everything she had in her to pull at the jade, but the little jade seemed to be rooted in the ground, and it still did not budge.

Song Shuhang pinched his chin for a moment, and offered, “Lady Onion, how about you widen the hole first, then try again?”

“Huff, huff~ Why should I do that?” Lady Onion asked curiously.

Song Shuhang replied, “I was thinking that maybe the size of this jade is bigger than we think.”

Lady Onion immediately understood. She remained bent forward as she waved her hands and used her palm to hit the ground by the jade. Within her body, the ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯ operated to strengthen her palm’s strength.

Lady Onion, who kept her green onion form, did not cry like Ye Si when operating the ❮Tome of Never-Ending Tears❯… but onion juice would appear from time to time on her sprout. Her tears seemed to be flowing in this form.

After dozens of palm strikes, the crimson jade was completely unearthed. Sure enough, as Song Shuhang had expected, the small jade from before was just what had been visible from the surface, and a two-meter cube was actually hidden below. The crimson jade that was exposed on the ground before was just a small protrusion on top of the cube.

Lady Onion: “…”

How was she supposed to keep such a large crimson jade?

Moreover, what use did this thing even have?

With the emergence of this two-cubic-meter-big crimson jade, the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

Shi, Little Cai, and Su Clan’s Sixteen couldn’t withstand this wave of heat and could only retreat backward. Song Shuhang fared slightly better than them as he had a relatively strong physique and possessed the dual attributes of lightning and fire. Therefore, he was more resistant to heat.

“Put away this jade first, Lady Onion,” Song Shuhang said.

Anyway, it was a treasure for sure, so they could just keep it first, and then study it when they get back. If they couldn’t figure it out, then they could wait for Venerable White to come out after his tribulation, or ask the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group to see if anyone knew the origins of this jade.

Lady Onion asked, “Where am I going to keep it? Should I put it inside your size-reducing purse first?”

Song Shuhang replied, “Put it in my spatial magical treasure. The size-reducing purse wouldn’t be able to take it. Its heat is too terrifying. Once you put it in, the size-reducing purse might get destroyed.”

Lady Onion instinctively didn’t want to leave the huge crimson jade. When she touched the jade with her hands, she felt really comfortable, just as if she was one with the jade.

However, what Song Shuhang said was right. The jade couldn’t be kept in the ‘size-reducing purse’.

After sighing, Lady Onion nodded and agreed with Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and brought out the magical bracelet to collect the crimson jade.

Right at that moment, however, his body suddenly paused.

…That huge ball of ‘evil energy of the Netherworld’ had been completely absorbed by the lotus projection.

Originally, he’d thought that it would take about one day and one night to completely absorb the ‘evil energy of the Netherworld’, but when his body had neared the crimson jade, the lotus projection and root whiskers in his body became more active and devoured the evil energy of the Netherworld like crazy.

All the evil energy of the Netherworld had now been absorbed, and so the lotus projection went back into his Inner World.

In Song Shuhang’s body, the volume of his Inner World expanded once again, and the evil energy of the Netherworld that he had absorbed had been transformed into the energy for his Inner World.

Moreover, his physique was strengthened from the nourishment of the living spring and the power from the Inner World, although the majority of the power had poured into the fat whale illusory core in Song Shuhang’s dantian.

The power that was returned to his body from the Inner World this time was huge, and Song Shuhang’s fat whale illusory core transmitted a feeling of satiety.

Almost! Song Shuhang rejoiced. The fat whale illusory core wasn’t far from being complete.

Lady Onion asked, “Hey, Shuhang, what are you doing? Can the crimson jade not be kept into the magical bracelet?”

She saw Song Shuhang stretch his hand out for a long time, yet nothing had happened to the crimson jade.

“Haha, no. Just now, I finally absorbed that ball of evil energy, and the state of my body has progressed by a bit, so I ended up pausing for a while.” Song Shuhang laughed. After saying that, he willed and opened up the space inside the magical bracelet as he tried to keep that piece of crimson jade inside the bracelet.

However… the crimson jade only slightly brightened up, yet it did not enter the space of the bracelet.

Lady Onion asked, “It doesn’t work?”

Song Shuhang responded, “It’s really as you have said, it can’t be kept inside a spatial magical treasure.”

…It seemed that it could only be loaded into the Inner World.

Lady Onion said, “So what now?”

While they were speaking, a wave of spatial energy emerged from Song Shuhang’s side.

This portal was opened with Song Shuhang set as the coordinates. Under the influence of the spatial energy, Song Shuhang couldn’t move his body.

Was a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender directly coming over with him as the coordinates?

Who was it?

Could it be Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion’s Pavilion Master Chu?

While he was in thought, a rough voice sounded from behind Song Shuhang. “Hahahaha, f*ck, I’m finally out.”

Subsequently, a stone giant that was over 10 meters tall appeared behind Song Shuhang. Its body was red, and red flames were spouting out of its eye sockets and nostrils.

The stone giant laughed proudly.

This guy was the stone giant that had been f*cked by Song Shuhang in the Palace of Winter’s forbidden area and then captured by the ball of liquid metal that ruled the Netherworld.

Originally, it almost became the ball of liquid metal’s experimental material. At this time, it seemed to have escaped from the Netherworld and directly came to Song Shuhang’s side.

After laughing, the stone giant noticed Song Shuhang.

It was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, and said, “Brat, go die!”

…When it escaped, it escaped with the ‘Palace of Winter’ set as the coordinates as it had left coordinate marks there. It had planned on escaping into the Palace of Winter to return to the main world, and then using its spatial power in the main world to quickly escape somewhere else. As long as it could return to the main world, that terrifying ruler of the Netherworld wouldn’t be able to do anything to it.

It just didn’t expect that it wouldn’t return to the Palace of Winter, but rather came to Song Shuhang’s side.

When enemies met, their eyes would be filled with rage.

Song Shuhang said, “F*ck.”

How did this guy get out? That ball of liquid metal was such a letdown!

Song Shuhang immediately sent Su Clan’s Sixteen, Little Cai, Lady Onion, and Shi into the Inner World. Then, he himself started to escape to the Inner World.

“Brat, don’t even think about escaping.” The stone giant sneered as it released a force of ‘spatial interference’ with its hands.

It had been guarding against Song Shuhang for a long time, so when the figures of Shi and Su Clan’s Sixteen disappeared, it immediately used spatial interference.

It’s fine if those little girls run away, but this wicked brat has to die!

Moreover, it’d learned from the last time.

This brat’s luck was exceptional. To deal with such a fortunate cultivator, if you could kill them, you had to do so immediately. Otherwise, if you kept on spouting nonsense, their luck might enter into action, allowing them to keep their life in a desperate situation.

The last time, it was because I was procrastinating a bit that this brat was able to find a chance to escape.

This time, I will absolutely no longer let my mind wander, and shall directly kill him!

The stone giant was experienced in dealing with such cultivators who had excellent luck.

The ability of spatial interference interrupted Song Shuhang’s space transference.

Immediately after, the stone giant grabbed Song Shuhang and squeezed him fiercely. “Explode to pieces!”

[Stay your hand!] At this time, a sharp voice exploded.

This voice was something the stone giant was too familiar with.

The stone giant turned around sharply, and exclaimed, “Old Bastard Scarlet Heaven!”

The voice belonged to Scarlet Heaven. The same person that had injured it and forced it to suffer the pain of the heavenly fire.

When the stone giant turned its head, it didn’t see Scarlet Heaven, but rather a dazzling light—the ❮Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique❯!
