487 Lockdown (2)
“I will listen to Palace master’s instructions.”

The various Palace Masters accepted the order. They knew that this would save them the most effort. The Black Tortoise Palace couldn’t possibly be the one to defend against the demons, right?

Furthermore, since the Palace master was here, it meant that the situation had become serious. It was best to be concerned about the matters in his jurisdiction.

“Now, let’s talk about Song Shi, the Heaven Patrolling Guards.”

The burly figure quickly changed the topic. “Hunluo, Xing Yu, Qianhe, Xiong He, and Sun Hong, the five of you have interacted with him directly. Your opinions will determine his outcome. Hunluo will go first.”

Supreme Saint Hunluo pondered for a moment and said, “Palace master, this person has a big secret, but he is not an enemy.”

The burly figure’s appearance could not be seen clearly. He seemed to have nodded. “If there were no secrets, he wouldn’t have injured Xiong He and Sun Hong, Xing Yu. What do you think?”

“His fate is unpredictable. If it’s not backed up by a powerful person, he must be very strong. In both cases, things are not simple.”

Great Sage Starsong said in a deep voice, “Although he’s too domineering this time, he didn’t cause too many losses. Clearly, he doesn’t want to oppose us. I think we should ease the tension.”

Supreme Saint Qianhe smiled bitterly. “From the various situations, there’s something wrong with him, but I can’t be completely sure that he’s a spy. I’m neutral.”

Xiong He and Sun Hong looked hesitant. The Palace master was here. If they could think of a way to get the entire Black Tortoise Palace to take action, they would naturally have a chance to vent their anger.

However, that guy was too ruthless. If they couldn’t kill him in one go, they were sure that when he would take revenge, they would be the first to bear the brunt.

When the burly figure saw the duo’s expressions, he understood the outcome. He waved his hand. “I understand. I’ll be gentle with this person. At the critical moment, it’s always good to have one less enemy.”

…

Song Shi did not care if the Black Tortoise Palace would send stronger cultivators to deal with him after severely injuring the cultivators from the two halls. If they came, it would be no different from death. Hence, he settled down leisurely.

On the other hand, Fu Yuhua and the others were worried that the Black Tortoise Palace would implicate them. Fu Yuhua even deliberately asked about this matter.

After waiting for a few days, the people from the Black Tortoise Palace came again.

After the person informed Fu Yuhua of the outcome, he was shocked to learn that the Black Tortoise Palace did not pursue the matter. Furthermore, they had tacitly agreed that Song Shi could stay in their Dian Cang Sword Sect.

What shocked him the most was that the Black Tortoise Palace still wanted to give Song Shi a stipend and send someone to deliver the rewards for the previous Quests.

Seeing the confusion in Fu Yuhua’s eyes, Palace Master Wen Jue of the Supply Hall smiled elegantly. “At such a special moment, a genius like Song Shi naturally needs to be treated well. I wonder where he is now. I want to see him.”

“He’s right here on Cang Peak. I’ll take you there.”

Fu Yuhua saw that there wouldn’t be a fight this time, so he brought Wen Jue to a quiet courtyard.

Inside, Song Shi took out the gourd at his waist and was about to take a sip of the nectar when a talisman at the door lit up, revealing the outside world.

Seeing that it was Fu Yuhua carrying a sword case and a refined man beside him, Song Shi stood up and walked out. He unlocked the Array Formation. “Sect Master, what’s the matter?”

“This is the Black Tortoise Palace’s Supplies Hall’s Palace Master, Wen Jue. He’s here to deliver something to you.” Fu Yuhua blinked and said teasingly.

Song Shi shifted his gaze. Wen Jue looked like a scholar. His face was as fair as jade, and his eyes were lively. He wore a fish crown on his head, and his green robe was clean and tidy.

He gave a half-smile. “Deliver something? You’re not arresting me this time?”

“Little friend Song is indeed as fearless as they say.”

Wen Jue smiled. “We’re friends, not enemies. You didn’t kill us, so we understand what you mean. We’re here to give you the resources and rewards you deserve.”

Song Shi looked at the spirit stones given by Wen Jue in surprise, and his attitude towards the Black Tortoise Palace changed a little. He nodded. “I understand what you mean. I’ll accept it, but I won’t go back for the time being.”

“It’s fine. Didn’t you become a guest elder of the Dian Cang Sword Sect? Coincidentally, your recent mission is to join forces with Dian Cang and the other sects to seal off the Fallen God Valley. Your mission is to assist the Dian Cang Sword Sect.”

Wen Jue had already made arrangements. “This is your Mortal Cleansing Pills. Take it as the reward for this mission.”

“I don’t need to wash the dust. I want to be struck by lightning.” Song Shi shook his head. The Mortal Cleansing Pills were indeed useless to him.

Wen Jue was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had encountered someone who didn’t use the Mortal Cleansing Pills and was struck by lightning himself. He was caught between laughter and tears. “Whether you use them or not, they’re all yours. Don’t you have any relatives or friends in the lower realm? If you don’t use them, you can give them to them. It will save you the trouble of earning these pills in the Black Spirit Palace.”

“Alright, I’ll accept it. In the future, I hope I’ll still be considered a member of the Black Tortoise Palace.”

Song Shi made a promise.

The more Wen Jue thought about it, the more he felt that it wasn’t simple. He felt that Song Shi’s tone was too special, as if the Black Tortoise Palace was a place where he could leave whenever he wanted.

He took a deep look at Song Shi. “I won’t disturb your cultivation. I still have to contact the various large factions nearby to seal the Fallen God Valley.”

“Call me if you need me.”

Song Shi’s words were directed at Yu Hua. He was not afraid of death, but he was not in a hurry to die either. He was prepared to cultivate the Dian Cang Sword Art first.

“Definitely.”

Fu Yuhua was all smiles. The Black Tortoise Palace and Song Shi did not fight. They even seemed to maintain a special relationship, proving that Song Shi was very capable.

The more powerful Song Shi was, the more beneficial it was for their Dian Cang Sword Sect.

Ten years later.

A green sword beam shot into the sky from outside the Dian Cang Sword Sect. It dyed the entire sky green and did not dissipate for a long time.

Many disciples and elders in the sect raised their heads and looked at the greenery that filled the Void in shock.

“One Sword Verdant Ten Directions Of Heaven, the sign of a Great Mastery of sword technique!”

“Which elder successfully had a breakthrough in the Dian Cang Sword Technique?”

“Judging from the position of the sword Qi, it seems to be that guest elder?”

“Why is he so fast? He has only been practicing the Sword Technique for less than ten years, right?”
The inner sect disciples and elders were in an uproar and could not calm down for a long time.

Song Shi retracted his finger by the window and muttered, “I’ve already reached Great Mastery in ten years of cultivation. This sword technique isn’t too difficult. I just lack a good sword. I’ll temporarily replace it with a bone sword.”

Walking out of the room, he stood with his hands behind his back. Looking at the mirror-like lake in front of him, he smiled.

In ten years, this huge pit that he had blasted out had already turned into a lake. He had moved here and temporarily settled here. He was living quite well.

Other than occasionally going out to transcend the tribulation, he had been studying the Dian Cang Sword Technique and the various demonic techniques for the past year. Apart from being profound in the Sword Dao, he had also gained some comprehension of the laws involved in the various demonic techniques.

The Dian Cang Sword Technique involved the Law of Wood, while the core of the Blood Demon Emperor Scripture was the Law of Blood, the Demonic Strength Scripture was the Law of Strength, and the Bone Demon Scripture was the Law of Royalty. They were not natural Laws, so it was very difficult to comprehend them.

Be it the Demon Sutra or the Dian Cang Sword Technique, he always felt that there was something missing. He could not directly mobilize the power of laws like the completed Divine Teleportation Footwork. It was mostly because of the effect of spells.

As for his cultivation base, there were no surprises. He had reached the peak of the Void Refinement Realm. However, he did not have much confidence in fusing with his body. In the end, he still lacked comprehension.

Other cultivators might not even be able to fuse in ten thousand years. It was a terrifying story that he managed to reach this step in just ten years.

After leisurely walking by the lake for a moment and cultivating most of his cultivation techniques and divine powers, Song Shi suddenly felt bored. He turned his head and looked at the sky. “I haven’t died in a long time. I’ll go out and die a few times.”

He muttered in his heart. In the past ten years, other than the last three tribulations that had struck him to death, he had never died.

Looking into the distance, he took a step forward. “The sealing array of the Fallen God Palace should be almost set up. Let’s go over and take a look. We’ll die once and continue the trial on the Demon Refinement Path.”

With a single step, he arrived outside the Fallen God Valley. The originally verdant valley had actually disappeared and was replaced by a lake that spanned tens of thousands of kilometers.

Around the lake, there was a verdant mountain peak that was steep and straight, and it was located in the east on his side.

There was a crystalline snow mountain that looked like a lotus flower embedded in the snow mountain in the west. To the south, there was a Bronze palace built by the lake. Correspondingly, to the north was a huge black platform engraved with various star patterns.

At the center of the lake was a massive island that gave off a blue light and contained a heavy and steady power.

He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said, “It’s an Array Formation, but it’s an array that changes the terrain and environment. How superior.”

There was no doubt that the water in front of him was real water. The surrounding green mountains, snow lotuses, Bronze palaces, and star platforms, as well as the island in the middle, were the array cores. Coupled with the lake water, they sealed the original Fallen God Valley.
