Chapter 1510 Even breathing hurts
Anyway, when he used the secret appraisal technique now, he no longer needed to shed any blood, which resulted in Song Shuhang being a lot more liberal in using it.
Using it more would also give him more experience in using the ability. Unlimited tries for free~
After a while, a small wound appeared on the smokey Song Shuhang’s arm.
If a wound of this degree were to appear when he was in his normal state, it would merely be a small scratch on his arm. With Song Shuhang’s current physical strength, the wound would heal before blood could flow out of it.
Song Shuhang felt disappointed.
He didn’t even need to look at the results of the appraisal to know that this little experiment had failed.
What useful information could he have possibly gotten from appraising something that only cost him such a small price?
[A piece of ordinary paper: produced on May 20, 2019. There are some words which do not contain any spiritual energy written on it by Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.]
“…” Song Shuhang.
It really didn’t work.
Soft Feather asked, “Did it succeed?”
Song Shuhang replied, “It failed, only the information regarding the paper was appraised.”
“That’s a pity. If it had succeeded, I would have had a lot of interesting and bold ideas for you to try out,” Soft Feather said with some disappointment.
“…” Song Shuhang. He was suddenly a little grateful that the experiment had failed. He got the feeling that Soft Feather’s interesting and bold ideas would eventually bring him disasters. Soft Feather said, “By the way, Senior Song, please send me a picture of Island Master Tian Tiankong’s room.”
“?” Song Shuhang.
Soft Feather said, “Senior Song, you previously mentioned in the Nine Provinces Number One Group that only Island Master Tian Tiankong’s computer was left turned on in his room. Besides that, the entire defensive formation of his immortal cave and the island-guarding formation were intact, that the whole room was neat and tidy, and there were no signs of fighting. In other words, Senior Tian Tiankong could have possibly been killed in a single blow, resulting in his defensive formations not having a chance to activate. With this, his body dissipated, and his soul was shattered, this entire process not letting a single drop of his blood spill anywhere. Island Master Tian Tiankong’s was also drawn into that ‘sealed s.p.a.ce’. That said, I want to see a picture of his room, and see if I can find any clues.” Soft Feather had just finished a day of practice, so she was currently idle, and she had a lot of spare time to conduct some research. Song Shuhang said, “Okay.” He went back to the entrance, then took a picture of Island Master Tian Tiankong’s room, and sent the picture to Soft Feather.
A few minutes later.
Soft Feather said, “Senior Song, I have a bold idea.”
“???” Song Shuhang. His heartbeat could not help speeding up a bit.
Soft Feather seriously said, “How about you appraise the air?”
“…” Song Shuhang.
Your Senior Song will die, Soft Feather. Identifying the air is the same as identifying Mother Earth. It’s a very dangerous thing, and if I’m not careful, I might even die. Moreover, under normal circ.u.mstances, air could not be identified.
Soft Feather said, “I have carefully looked at every part of the photo, and it made me wonder whether the other party had directly attacked Senior Tian Tiankong through s.p.a.ce. In this case, Senior Song, you should try appraising the air… or more specifically, appraising the s.p.a.ce in Island Master Tian Tiankong’s room. Isn’t there a chance you might find a clue this way? Perhaps the entrance of that ‘sealed s.p.a.ce’ is still in Senior Tian Tiankong’s room?”
An attack that crossed s.p.a.ce.
Was she saying it could have been a Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender?
Song Shuhang subconsciously tried to make contact with his Inner World again. Fortunately, it hadn’t cowered yet.
With this touching upon s.p.a.ce, it would have been nice if Senior White was present.
Having said that, at this moment, it was apparent that the puppet maiden, Senior White, and Chu Chu hadn’t been invited to the island by Island Master Tian Tiankong.
That being said, where did the puppet maiden take the Senior White statue?
It couldn’t be that the puppet maiden suddenly fell in love with the Senior White statue, and eloped with it, right? Song Shuhang suddenly thought of a ridiculous idea. While in thought, Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and directed it toward the air.
“Secret appraisal technique… this time, I want to appraise the ‘s.p.a.ce’ here.” Song Shuhang activated the secret appraisal technique again.
His current smokey body prevented him from having to worry about dying due to excessive bleeding.
Moreover, with his current mastery of the ‘secret appraisal technique’, he could also control the degree of danger that it would present him, limiting it within his own acceptable range.
He was going to try it out. Who knew? It might just work. Would he be able to appraise ‘s.p.a.ce’? The secret appraisal technique was activated, and the ‘target’ was not captured.
was
It failed?
The thought of ‘s.p.a.ce’ might not have been enough.
If I want to activate the secret appraisal technique, touching the object with my finger is the easiest method of doing so.
If I could see the ‘s.p.a.ce’, I might be able to appraise it. Just as Song Shuhang thought this, the Scholarly Sage’s eye which was in his left eye socket activated.
As Song Shuhang performed the “Impregnating Gaze” time and time again, the compatibility between him and the Scholarly Sage’s eye increased more and more.
This time, when it sensed that Song Shuhang thought of seeing ‘s.p.a.ce’, the Scholarly Sage’s eye provided timely help.
The Scholarly Sage was a figure who had truly stood at the top of the universe, being second only to the heavens.
If he was willing, his eyes could directly see countless spatial nodes.
Through the eye of the Sage, Song Shuhang saw three spatial nodes in the room.
“I can see them!” Song Shuhang was overjoyed.
The (sealed s.p.a.ce) was likely one of the three s.p.a.ce nodes. Thank you, Soft Feather!
“Since there are only three nodes, I can check them out one by one.” Song Shuhang reached out, and brought his hand toward the first spatial node-if there were dozens of spatial nodes, the pain that the secret appraisal technique brought his mind might just bring him to the brink of despair. However, with there only being three, the mental pain he would have to endure would barely amount to anything
And so, the secret appraisal technique was activated!
On his smoky body, another wound had appeared. The price is so small?
Song Shuhang was puzzled.
Did the appraisal fail?
At this time, the results of the appraisal were transmitted to his mind.
[Inner World of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song: this is a strange personal world, and it is owned by Profound Sage Tyrannical Song. It is connected to the world of the black lotus, and it also has a pa.s.sage that is connected to the world of the golden lotus, but this pa.s.sage is currently closed.]
“…” Song Shuhang. F*ck, it turned out that it was actually his Inner World’s spatial node.
No wonder the price he paid was so small.
And he actually thought that the appraisal had failed.
Anyway, it appeared that there was also a link between the Inner World and the world of the golden lotus.
However, that pa.s.sage was in a closed or sealed state… It should have been closed back when that incident at the scholarly faction had taken place. With his a.s.sistance, the world of the golden lotus was completely closed, cutting off its connection with the world of the black lotus. In a similar manner, the pa.s.sage between it and Song Shuhang’s Inner World was also closed.
Song Shuhang took a deep breath, stretched out his hand again, and brought his hand toward the second spatial node.
The secret appraisal technique was activated once more.
In the next moment, Song Shuhang’s smokey body dissipated wildly, and within a few breaths, only his skeleton was left.
Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, and said, “Heavens, such a great price.” If he were in his normal state, a price of this degree would have resulted in all the blood and water in his body being squeezed out. Fortunately, he was currently in his smoke state.
All the smoke returned, and recondensed into Song Shuhang’s body.
What followed was pain that could not be described in words.
The tremendous pain almost caused Song Shuhang to faint.
Despite his current willpower and his tremendous degree of tolerance for pain, he almost couldn’t bear it.
“I actually almost reached my limit.” Song Shuhang let out heavy breaths.
This pain continued on for an extended period of time.
The price he paid this time was nothing small. If this node wasn’t the ‘sealed s.p.a.ce’, then he could only choose to wait for some time before appraising the next spatial node.
It’s a one-in-three chance, there’s no reason for my luck to be so bad, right?
(Sealed s.p.a.ce spatial node: This is a strange s.p.a.ce. It is a world that completely overlaps with the main world, but is completely different at the same time. It seems to be a shadow of the world. This is a very dangerous world…]
The information sent back by the secret appraisal technique was very meager.
It worked.
Song Shuhang’s eyes shone with joy.
As Soft Feather had guessed, the entrance to the sealed s.p.a.ce really was still in the Island Master Tian Tiankong’s room.
It was great that he was able to find it.
Next, he should inform the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, and then look for signs of Senior White.
Currently, within Nine Provinces Number One Group, it was only Senior White that possessed spatial talents. Senior Spirit b.u.t.terfly possessed the ability to ‘influence spatial formations’, but he was probably closed up right now, or even in the midst of transcending his tribulation.
Song Shuhang’s fingers retreated from the spatial node, and he curled up into a ball from the pain.
It’d been a long time since he’d last experienced pain of this degree.
This reminded him of the days when he had just mastered the secret appraisal technique.
However, at that time, his lovely number one ghost spirit would often carry him through the process, and take on most of the pain of the secret appraisal technique in his place.
“Hiss.” Song Shuhang hissed in pain.
Meanwhile, he reached out and grabbed his phone.
The phone’s screen was still on, and he was still in the Soft Feather’s private chat.
Song Shuhang sent a voice message to Soft Feather-he couldn’t type because of the pain he was in. The pain made him want to cry, and it made even breathing hurt.
Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, and said, “Soft Feather… it worked.” Soft Feather asked, “You found the sealed
s.p.a.ce?”
Song Shuhang said, “Yes, I found it. Tell the seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group that the sealed s.p.a.ce is still in Island Master Tian Tiankong’s room. In addition, please ask the seniors in the group to help me look for Senior White. Senior White’s a.s.sistance will be needed at that time.”
Soft Feather said, “Senior Song, are you alright? Your tone seems to be off.”
Song Shuhang responded, “I’m fine, but I’m in a lot of pain. The price of the secret appraisal technique was really colossal this time. I have to rest for a while.” Soft Feather asked, “Should I sing a song to ease your pain?” Song Shuhang replied, “Thank you… but I’d prefer to just curl up quietly for some time.”
It was most likely going to be the (Seven Deaths Song), so he should just forget about it. Even if Soft Feather’s singing was sweet and beautiful, he felt like hearing it would only make the pain even more painful. After finis.h.i.+ng the conversation with Soft Feather, Song Shuhang curled up on the ground.
Every part of the body was hurting, and there wasn’t a single part that was let off.
Song Shuhang raised his head and looked at the three spatial nodes in the air. Next time, I’m not going to do such a death-seeking thing like appraise spatial nodes again. Just as he was in thought, he suddenly discovered the sealed s.p.a.ce spatial node began to expand. Song Shuhang’s heart thumped. He turned his head again and looked at the first spatial node.
Sure enough… the node of the Inner World was slowly becoming blurry, as if it was being suppressed.
No, the Inner World is running away!
