2173 Lightning Tree

On the stage of the Profound Sage Speech.

An inscrutable smile appeared on Song Shuhang’s face. After thinking for a while, he closed his eyes, which brought immense pressure to any practitioner that saw them.

He wanted to maximize the power of virtue that he was going to receive from this speech, so he closed his eyes once the AMA was finished to reassure the practitioners.

Little did he know that when he closed his eyes, the livers of all the practitioners in the universe trembled.

This was because they recalled that a similar scene had taken place when Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar had delivered his speech. Tyrannical Song had first closed his eyes and then opened them all of a sudden. Afterward, he brought all the practitioners across the universe to tears by making use of the Scholarly Sage’s eye.

This was a lesson that they had learned the hard way.

Therefore, when they saw Profound Sage Tyrannical Song close his eyes, everyone became nervous.

The experienced practitioners began to take medicines, lie flat or sideways on the ground or directly in the air.

There were also some practitioners who tried to send a second question to Tyrannical Song, but due to the Real Time Question Answering AI being disconnected after its use, these questions went nowhere.

Song Shuhang said calmly with his eyes closed, “The speech has come to an end.”

[I-It’s over?]

[There’s no Impregnating Gaze?]

[This can’t be Tyrannical Song! It doesn’t make any sense!]

[Why do I feel like there’s something missing from Tyrannical Song’s speech when there isn’t an Impregnating Gaze?]

[Then, did I just take this medicine for nothing?]

Although there was some confusion, the “will” of the practitioners all over the universe continued to gather toward Song Shuhang.

This energy, which was similar to the power of faith, was collected and transformed, turning into light of virtue as it reached Song Shuhang.

The amount of light of virtue produced during this speech was much higher than the previous times.

The first reason was that there were simply more people that watched this speech; secondly, he was answering questions in real time, which directly benefited most of the practitioners.

Even the Ninth Stage Tribulation Trascnenders who were watching the speech were fully convinced.

Therefore, the amount of virtue that Song Shuhang obtained this time was extraordinarily high, simply as vast as the sea.

Behind Song Shuhang, the virtuous lamia placed her wrists together and opened her palms as she slowly raised her arms high up.

The virtuous fat whale propped her up, and one could vaguely see lightning flashing inside the whale’s body… That was tribulation lightning!

Practitioners all over the universe were left in disbelief and rubbed their eyes. However, no matter how many times they rubbed their eyes, the lightning of the heavenly tribulation was still there.

The oblivious practitioners wore puzzled looks. They had no idea what Profound Sage Tyrannical Song was going to do with the sealed tribulation lightning, but they still admired his means.

But a small group of practitioners who knew exactly what the tribulation lightning was for licked the corners of their mouths, drooling as they recalled its deliciousness.

❄️❄️❄️

In order to not ruin his pose, Song Shuhang did not turn his head to look at the virtuous lamia.

However, based on her past evolutions, Fairy Virtue’s snake form should recede until her thighs.

As her private area was already covered by her wings, there would not be any problems.

Song Shuhang was looking forward to seeing how Fairy Virtue would look after recovering her legs.

The power of virtue in the sky started merging with the body of the virtuous lamia.

The virtuous lamia blinked and wanted to “die” again.

But the last few times she appeared in front of the people in the universe, she had “died” every time, so she felt it to be rather unoriginal to do it again this time.

Unfortunately, Scarlet Heaven Sword’s main body was not present.

Otherwise, she could perform the sword-swallowing performance for all practitioners across the universe.

The virtuous lamia’s strength constantly rose as she received the virtue. If not for her being limited by Song Shuhang’s realm, the strength of her body could have risen all the way to the level of Fairy ＠＃％× when she was alive.

Even though the virtuous lamia’s strength was rising, her legs did not change to those of a human as she deliberately kept her snake tail.

The excess power of virtue was passed on to the virtuous fat whale in order to strengthen it.

The problem was that the power of the virtue they were receiving this time was simply too big.

Even if the virtuous fat whale was filled to the brim, it could not hold such a vast amount of virtuous power.

Above their head, the power of virtue was still descending.

After filling up the bodies of the virtuous lamia and the fat whale to the brim, the power of virtue was spewed out through the fat whale’s breathing hole together with the tribulation lightning inside its body.

This portion of energy solidified behind Song Shuhang, forming the third materialization of his light of virtue.

A huge “lightning tree” slowly grew.

Its tree trunk was made up of virtue, while its branches and leaves were made from the power of tribulation lightning.

The lightning tree grew bigger and bigger, reaching a height of 20 meters in an instant.

Claps of thunder could constantly be heard coming from the tree.

Song Shuhang looked up at the lightning tree, speechless.

He then looked at the virtuous lamia.

What is she doing?

Wouldn’t it be better to use this power of virtue to further strengthen her body and evolve? Why did she form a separate entity?

The stronger the virtuous lamia was, the safer Song Shuhang would feel.

Moreover, what is the use of this lightning tree?

From what he remembered, the tree born from Senior White’s virtuous power could at least bear fruit.

Can this lightning tree also bear fruit?

The virtuous lamia giggled. She then stretched out her hand and grabbed the 20-meter-tall tree with one arm.

Afterward, she flicked her snake’s tail and jumped onto the virtuous fat whale.

This was the virtuous lamia’s knight mode.

The huge lightning tree turned into the knight’s spear, and the fat whale turned into its mount.

The virtuous lamia was no longer satisfied with being a mere defensive tool. She wanted to start attacking.

After the knight-like virtuous lamia shook the lightning tree in her hand, she seemed to remember another thing.

She brought out the flat imperial hat and put it on.

The remaining power of virtue hovering in the sky poured into the flat imperial hat and recharged it.

Then, a gorgeous imperial robe materialized and shrouded her body.

This was the virtuous lamia’s imperial knight mode!

Song Shuhang felt as if he was blinded by the dazzling light.

In the end, all the power of virtue above his head was absorbed by the lightning tree.

The virtuous lamia, the virtuous fat whale, and the virtuous lightning tree all began to return to Song Shuhang’s body.

When returning to Song Shuhang’s body, the virtuous lamia suddenly leaned over to Song Shuhang’s ear and said softly, “It’s a treasure.”

She was talking about the lightning tree.

The lightning tree would not only serve as her spear but had another important use as well.

It would be an integral part of Song Shuhang’s arsenal.

“What?” Song Shuhang asked in confusion.

The virtuous lamia did not say anything else. She took the lightning tree and returned to Shuhang’s body.

All the phenomena in the sky dissipated, and the nascent souls in Song Shuhang’s body slowly closed their eyes.

His heavenly tribulation had officially concluded.

Song Shuhang turned around and got off the stage of the Profound Sage Speech.

He took a light step, and the nascent soul in his first small dantian shook slightly, just as if something was triggered.

Afterward, an illusion spread from this nascent soul.
