Chapter 1839: Someone is coming!
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Senior White’s clone stood on the hilt of the Holy Sword of the End as he said, “Regardless of whether it’s a living artifact, if we can communicate with it, that will save us a lot of time.”
Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard asked, “But this guy stutters too much. Can we really trust it?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen said, “I think that it’s just frightened.”
“Since you can understand me, shrink down your body. Can you do that?” Senior White’s clone tapped his foot lightly. As he did this, the Holy Sword of the End tilted to aim at the Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment while exuding a chilling aura.
“I-if it’s just shrinking my body, I can do it,” a voice quickly replied from the fragment. It was afraid that if it was too slow to reply, it would be directly split into smaller pieces.
Soon after, the fragment shrunk itself down.
After a few moments, it had shrunk from having a radius of 1500 meters to that of 1499 meters.
“…” Su Clan’s Sixteen.
Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard asked, “Are you done shrinking?”
The voice coming from the Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment said, “Yes, I’ve already tried my best in shrinking down my body to the smallest I can currently make it!”
Song Shuhang couldn’t help but say, “Are you serious? I could take a deep breath and have my belly shrink better than what you did just now.”
What use was shrinking from a radius of 1500 meters to that of 1499 meters? It would still not be able to fit into the entrance to the Inner World!
Senior White’s clone said blankly, “Alright, let’s cut it apart.”
“Wait! Wait a second,” cried the fragment. “Can you give me a little more time? I’ve been trapped under the ground for too long. My body hasn’t fully recovered yet. If you give me some more time, I might be able to shrink my body even further.”
Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard responded, “How much more can you shrink yourself? Don’t tell me that you’re only talking about shrinking yourself by another 10 meters?”
The Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment replied, “If I can get back to my prime condition, I can shrink down until I only have a radius of five meters. That’s as little as I can go.”
“If it only has a diameter of 10 meters, then it should be able to enter my Inner World.” Song Shuhang nodded.
Senior White’s clone asked, ”How long will it take you to get ready?”
After thinking for a moment, the fragment replied, “If I were to slowly recover by myself, it should take about 10 to 15 days. If someone helps me, this time can be shortened greatly.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen inquired, “What type of help do you need?”
Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard chuckled. “Don’t tell me that you’re going to need someone to give you spiritual energy?”
The Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment said, “Actually, I’m not sure, either. However… I feel that m-ma.s.saging me should allow me to recover faster?”
In fact, its consciousness had only come to existence after the collapse of the Heavenly City, when this fragment had long since been buried in the ground. Because of that, its knowledge was very limited, and there were many things about itself that it wasn’t too certain of, either.
“Let’s just cut it into pieces.” After saying this, Senior White’s clone readied the Holy Sword of the End.
Song Shuhang said, “Wait, Senior White. Let me try something.”
“The ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯?” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword immediately had an idea as to what Song Shuhang was planning on trying.
Song Shuhang said, “Yes, I want to try it out.”
Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “The ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ is not omnipotent. Moreover, the size difference between you and this Heavenly City’s fragment is too great, wouldn’t using the technique on it be like ma.s.saging a single cell of the human body?”
Song Shuhang replied, “I’ll just try it out. If it doesn’t work, then we can think of other solutions.”
After saying that, he jumped down from the black lotus, landing on the defensive barrier of the Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment.
Song Shuhang asked, “Is the defensive barrier also a part of your body?”
The fragment answered, “Yes. Actually, it is not even a defensive barrier but a solid, transparent cover. After activating its defenses, it looks like a barrier.”
“Then get ready.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, and laid it on the fragment’s cover. His right hand slid wildly on it, repeatedly using the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ on the fragment.
“…” Senior White’s clone.
“Eh? Aaah~ So comfortable!” The Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment immediately let out bursts of cheerful sounds.
Clearly, the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ worked better than they had expected. It completely ignored the difference in size between Song Shuhang and the fragment, and directly brought the greatest pleasure to it.
“I don’t know why, but I always get the feeling that there’s something strange about your ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯,” said Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword—no matter what kind of magical treasure it was, the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ always seemed to be effective on it.
In addition, this wasn’t the case only for magical treasures, either. The ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ worked on the invisible saber insect, on inner demons, on clones, and even on the inheritance demonic G.o.d pillar.
It felt as if the guy who created the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ were an unparalleled genius.
“Did it work?” asked Senior White’s clone.
The Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment said, “Yes, yes, yes. It’s working very well.”
After saying that, the body of the fragment shrunk again.
Every time Song Shuhang’s right hand used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯, the fragment would shrink a little.
Its effects were remarkable.
If things continued like this, it wouldn’t take 10 to 15 days for it to shrink to its limit. As long as Song Shuhang used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ fast enough, it would soon shrink down to a size that could be loaded into the Inner World.
Senior White’s clone said, “Shuhang, try to hurry it up.”
“No problem.” Song Shuhang placed both hands on the Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment, and cast the technique with both hands.
Using the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ did not consume much spiritual energy, and with Song Shuhang having eight Spirit Lakes in his body, the spiritual energy spent using the technique was instantly recovered after each use.
After about 10 breaths of time, the Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment yelled, “Wait, let me rest a bit. I need to take a breather.”
At this moment, the fragment had shrunk down to one-third of its original size.
“Okay, take your time,” said Song Shuhang understandingly. He then withdrew his hands from the fragment.
“Thank you.” The Ancient Heavenly City’s fragment began to adjust its state.
Seeing this, Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard descended, and placed itself into Song Shuhang’s hands. “Shuhang, do that to me as well.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Are you talking about the two-handed ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯?”
Scarlet Heaven Sword’s scabbard said, “Yes. Don’t stop until I tell you, either. I want to see what my limits are!”
“Okay.” Song Shuhang felt particularly lively today, so he agreed to do what Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword asked him to without hesitation.
He placed both of his hands on Scarlet Heaven Sword, and then began crazily using the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯.
“Hahaha, this is so refres.h.i.+ng. I can’t get enough of it!” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword let out a pleasant laugh.
Meanwhile, over at where Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven was…
While Scarlet Heaven was setting down a marker at his location, Scarlet Heaven Sword, which was in his hand, vibrated violently.
“Huh?” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven looked puzzled.
“Truly amazing,” said Scarlet Heaven Sword. Although it was only a partial ma.s.sage, it was still especially refres.h.i.+ng.
“???” Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven.
Scarlet Heaven Sword suddenly said, “Someone is coming.”
Due to the series of ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ maintenance it had received, it was in a great condition!
