Chapter 1837: Senior White, I have an important question
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Even after going through the tribulation-transcending formation, the Third Stage lightning tribulation was still the size of a giant pillar.
Senior White’s clone grabbed the lightning tribulation, swinging it around. Then, he used his bare palms to rub it.
After he began doing this, it didn’t even take a moment for the tribulation lightning bolts to be turned into long strips.
Senior White’s clone’s formed sealing runes with his palms, sealing the whole thing.
Sealing heavenly tribulations was something that Senior White had a lot of experience in.
“Done.” After hauling up the sealed lightning tribulation, Senior White’s clone flew towards Song Shuhang’s location.
Next up was the eighth wave of the heavenly tribulation. Judging from the might of Su Kongyun’s tribulation, this should be its last wave.
A Third Stage heavenly tribulation generally had five to 10 waves. Some people would have their tribulation end right after the fifth wave, while some others would still have to continue even after the 10th wave…
Su Kongyun was above-average, having eight waves in his heavenly tribulation. It was honestly not bad.
Senior White’s clone handed over all the sealed strips of tribulation lightning to Song Shuhang. “This should be enough, right?”
“Yeah.” Song Shuhang nodded. “When Su Kongyun is done with the last wave of his heavenly tribulation, we can go back to Heavenly Field Island and try the Braised Heavenly Tribulation.”
During the cooking process, he could make use of Time City, for which he’d have to gather together some spirit stones. If he couldn’t manage on his own, he would have to borrow some more from Senior White.
Originally, he wanted to use the Throne of Wealth Distribution to repay his debt to Senior White. But his bet with the ‘mysterious young senior’ was still going on, so he couldn’t simply give it away.
Song Shuhang lifted his foot again, and stepped lightly in the air, a black lotus condensing right where he strode.
Su Clan’s Sixteen jumped out of the Inner World, and landed lightly on the black lotus. She was so pet.i.te that she could fit snugly onto the black lotus.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked curiously, “Senior White, do you know what happened to the three survivors of the Ancient Heavenly City that headed your way just now?”
“Right. Who, Tree, and that Ding Qingyun… or whatever their names were. How are the three of them?” Song Shuhang was also curious.
The leather-armored woman that had attacked him had been driven away by Senior Scarlet Heaven, but what about the three who ran to Senior White for the Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment?
Were they dead?
“Oh? So those three were survivors of the Ancient Heavenly City? No wonder… Does that mean that they came for the fragment that I found?” Senior White’s clone nodded calmly.
Su Clan’s Sixteen asked curiously, “Senior White, did you kill them?”
Senior White’s clone shook his head, and pointed to a nearby sea area. “Previously, when I was rubbing my first batch of tribulation lightning, I messed it up due to inexperience. The bolts of tribulation lightning exploded in my hand, so I threw them away over there, where they unearthed that Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment.”
“That’s how you found the fragment?” Song Shuhang asked. He could imagine how the entire scene had transpired with Senior White’s luck.
Senior White’s clone nodded. “Yup. Afterward, the three people you mentioned appeared, flying to the fragment. In the main world, some treasures that are hidden for millions of years can form a large spiritual energy area around them. When they are unearthed, there is a very small chance that they’ll bring about a ‘weapon tribulation’. But it has to be taken into account that this fragment reappeared after I threw tribulation lightning over to where it was… As such, as soon as it was unearthed, a weapon tribulation descended. The three people who approached the fragment were blown away by the tribulation and fell unconscious. The power of that tribulation was quite explosive, blocking it actually took me some time.”
There were many types of weapon tribulation, some of which rained down when treasures appeared. Unlike the heavenly tribulation, it did not specifically target anyone. In other words, it was fine as long as one resisted it. There was no need to worry about things like the tribulation’s strength increasing due to others getting involved in it.
“…” Song Shuhang.
Those three are really pitiful.
Since they aren’t members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, they didn’t know that when accompanying Senior White, one must always abide by the principle of ‘seeking wealth in danger’.
After Senior White unearths a treasure, it will be the wrong choice for those accompanying him to go for it immediately.
The correct action is to first look at the distance between you and Senior White—this is very important.
If the distance between you and Senior White isn’t that large, then try to get as close to him as possible. In this case, the closer you are, the safer you will be.
If the distance between you and Senior White is large, then run as far away as you can. The farther you are, the safer you will be.
You have to be either extremely close or extremely far!
If it feels as if it’s too late to go close or run away, then squat down and put up all of your defenses. It is advisable to put up a 360-degree defense with no weak spots and then pray.
As long as you don’t die, you’ve already profited!
Every time Senior White gets a treasure, he would generally give those present a share of it. In short, whoever else he sees there will get a share.
Thinking about it this way, Song Shuhang suddenly realized that Senior White and that ‘mysterious teenage senior’ really complemented each other.
One was responsible for losing, while the other was responsible for distributing wealth after winning it.
Next time, perhaps he should try to bring Senior White’s main body with him, and see if Senior White could bet in his place…

In the sky, the last wave of Su Kongyun’s heavenly tribulation took shape.
This last wave was a ‘magical-treasure-type heavenly tribulation’.
The heavenly tribulation condensed into a magical treasure that Song Shuhang was familiar with—Iron Lady, also known as Iron Maiden.
“I’ve heard of this magical treasure. It’s a well-known magical treasure in the Third Stage. It comes from western mages, and is used to torture one’s enemy to obtain information from them. It’s a torture-type magical treasure… Our Spirit River Su Clan’s Three had collected this type of magical treasure in the past, and I’ve long wanted to examine it,” said Su Kongyun while looking at the last wave of his tribulation without fear.
The first seven waves of his heavenly tribulation had been taken away, rubbed, or sealed in order to be braised in the near future. After he had seen all that, his state of mind as he faced his heavenly tribulation became very calm and stable.
“…” Song Shuhang.
“With the strength of this little fellow daoist from the Su Clan, it shouldn’t be difficult for him to deal with this final wave,” Senior White’s clone said calmly. “Alright, let’s take a look at the Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment that I found earlier.”
A fragment that had a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender member of the Ancient Heavenly City coming to collect it was definitely not normal. At least, it shouldn’t be a piece of debris like the toilet of the Divine Beast Department.
However, before taking a look at the fragment, Song Shuhang had an important matter that he needed to consult Senior White’s clone about. ”Senior White, does your current clone come with innate ‘facial paralysis’? Or are you using a magical technique to keep your face completely still?”
Song ‘Frank and Outspoken’ Shuhang felt that he needed to understand whether this facial paralysis was related to some sort of magical technique.
Senior White’s clone calmly said, “Innate.”
It isn’t a magical technique this time?
I have to test it.
Song Shuhang thought for a moment, and then he copied Senior Copper Trigram, poking his own face with his fingers. “Senior White, can you do this?”
“…” Senior White’s clone.
Su Clan’s Sixteen quickly pulled Song Shuhang away. “Ahem~ Senior White, Shuhang has drunk too much today!”
Boom~
At the same time, the heavenly tribulation iron maiden came cras.h.i.+ng down on Su Kongyun’s tribulation-transcending formation.
Su Kongyun didn’t panic; he stretched out his hand and waved his sword. “Sword aura, condense into one. Sword intent, sword intent!”
An embryonic version of sword intent condensed, and clashed with the heavenly tribulation.
After several breaths of time, the heavenly tribulation iron maiden was bounced away.
