Chapter 2216 - 2216 Apologies, Junior Sister

2216 Apologies, Junior Sister

Didn’t the lustrous scholar, who had scammed him of his ghost spirit, die as well?

Since it was the resurrection formation left by Scholarly Sage for his disciples, the dead lustrous scholar should also be resurrected by this formation, right?

Pavilion Master Chu’s strand of hair replied, “There are three possibilities.

“The first possibility is that he is so dead that even the resurrection formation failed to bring him back. His soul might have perished forever, and there is no longer any possibility for him to be resurrected or be reborn.

“The second possibility is that the lustrous scholar has not completely died yet. Since he has not died completely, there is naturally no way for him to be resurrected.

“As for the third possibility, it may very well just be his luck. Maybe the lustrous scholar has poor luck. You must know that when it comes to resurrection formations, it’s not guaranteed that they will resurrect their target. The higher the power of the cultivator, the more difficult it is to resurrect them, and the lower the chance of a successful resurrection. It is not easy to be like you and be able to resurrect successfully every time.”

Song Shuhang nodded thoughtfully and said, “That is to say, the next time I require a resurrection magical treasure, I’d better get one that has a 100% chance of resurrection, lest the resurrection result in failure. Or maybe I should prepare several other resurrection plans at the same time, so that should one plan fail, plan two or three may be successful, and so on and so forth.”

When it heard Song Shuhang’s words, the black Scarlet Heaven Sword could not help but voice out its thoughts, “No, Shuhang. I think it would be best if you did not prepare any means of resurrection at all! I am being completely serious with you here.”

Every time he got a resurrection item, Song Shuhang would use it dutifully as if he was afraid of wasting it. If Song Shuhang went ahead and made resurrection plans 1, 2, 3, and so forth, the black Scarlet Heaven Sword felt that every year for the next few years would be Song Shuhang’s death anniversary.

And if he really went hard with the resurrections, the next 365 days of the year might be filled with funerals.

One funeral in the morning, one funeral at noon, and another funeral in the evening.

“Why?” Song Shuhang asked doubtfully.

After thinking for a while, the black Scarlet Heaven Sword replied solemnly, “As a cultivator, it is not good if you become too reliant on certain types of treasures. It will be detrimental to your future development. As such, you should not rely too much on unconventional things like resurrections. What if you get used to resurrecting, and then one day, you no longer have any resurrection magical treasures?”

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword’s words were very reasonable, making everyone feel somewhat shocked at its change in character.

Song Shuhang nodded thoughtfully again.

Pavilion Master Chu reminded him, “Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword is not wrong. However, as it is an inner demon, you should be careful of its words and not trust them fully.”

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword: “…”

It did indeed speak in half-truths and half-lies.

However, the half that it made up was also for the good of Song Shuhang!

It just did not mention Song Shuhang’s innate ability that made him use resurrection items as soon as he got them.

I’m just helping him out here… Wait!

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword suddenly slammed its hilt hard into the spatial wall in the virtuous lamia’s stomach.

I am an inner demon, an inner demon!

Despite being an inner demon, it showed great care for Song Shuhang. It had become an embarrassment to all inner demons through all generations!

But… that ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ is really just too refreshing.

In the space above the black lake, the golden light had completely dissipated.

The four Tribulation Transcenders opened their eyes all at once.

“How could this be?” The fake Fairy Yuanyuan stood at the tip of the branch, her heart sinking into what felt like a bottomless abyss.

The four Tribulation Trasncenders slowly walked towards the shore.

They passed by the fake Fairy Yuanyuan.

Among them, when the bookworm-like Tribulation Transcender passed by her, he reached out and patted her on the head. “Thank you, Fairy.”

The fake Fairy Yuanyuan felt the warm hand on her head and raised her head stiffly, looking at the bookworm-like Tribulation Transcender.

The bookworm-like Tribulation Transcender gave her a blank smile, and then continued walking forward.

The four Tribulation Transcenders arrived at the shore together and they stopped beside Skylark.

They then bowed to her.

Skylark had mysterious origins, and she taught the Scholarly Sage back when he was very young. In fact, she may have even been the reason why the Sage began to tread the path of cultivation.

Therefore, in terms of status, she deserved the respect of the Thirteen Tribulation Transcenders.

Skylark glanced at the four of them, frowning slightly. “You…”

The bookworm Tribulation Transcender nodded slightly, and then he said softly, “Yes, Senior Skylark. Generally speaking, our resurrection… is a failure.”

The handsome Tribulation Transcender added, “The formation left by our teacher had been destroyed. Although it has been restored, it has been changed too much.”

The gentle Tribulation Transcender said softly, “Besides, it has been too long.”

If the resurrection formation had been activated immediately after they died, then the four of them could have been resurrected nearly perfectly due to the incredible skills of the Sage.

But now… The ancient era had long since ended, and tens of thousands of years had already passed since the era of the Scholarly Sage.

Time was like a blade.

Even with the methods left by the Scholarly Sage, it was impossible to completely resurrect his disciples who had fallen so long ago.

Skylark was an expert in the field of resurrection. From the ancient era to the current one, there was no one with a richer experience in resurrection than her. Therefore, she could see the incomplete state of these four disciples at a glance.

After they were resurrected, they had not been able to rid themselves of the state of death.

They were like candles that had been relit. After a few days at most, they would disappear once again.

And once they disappeared this time, they would be gone forever.

There would be no way to bring them back to life again.

“We want to make use of these final moments to visit the scholarly faction,” said the high-spirited Tribulation Trasncender, and then he asked, “Does the scholarly faction… still exist?”

“It does.” Song Shuhang’s voice sounded from afar.

Senior White flicked his sleeve lightly, and Song Shuhang and Fairy Creation were thrown out together.

Song Shuhang landed steadily.

Fairy Creation shrank behind him, hiding her petite figure.

She seemed afraid to see her four elder brothers.

While in the Universe Hiding Sleeve, she had heard the news that the four had failed to be resurrected completely.

The bookworm Tribulation Transcender looked at Song Shuhang and Fairy Creation behind him, and for the first time, a normal smile appeared on his dull face.

He raised his foot and instantly appeared beside Fairy Creation.

Then, he stretched out his hand toward the top of Song Shuhang’s head and patted it. “Apologies, Junior Sister. We agreed that should we meet again, we would never be separated by death once more. However, it seems that we will not be able to honor that agreement…”

Song Shuhang: “???”

Why are you stroking my head while apologizing to Fairy Creation?

The bookworm Tribulation Transcender’s hand patted Song Shuhang’s head repeatedly.

Song Shuhang looked all around him suspiciously.

…Could it be that he has poor eyesight?
