Chapter 2358 A Fortuitous Magical Tool

"Pain makes a man grow." Song Shuhang thought as he endured the agony.

Every type of pain offered a unique experience, and a man who hadn't faced pain was incomplete.

This time, Song Shuhang encountered a new form of torment. Instead of his smoke body exploding, it underwent a slow, melting process that was akin to a candle liquefying under intense heat.

The wax torch transformed into ashes before his tears could dry up, and it felt like a slow knife slicing through flesh.

"Hiss... I've never experienced this kind of pain before. Is it a new variant?" Song Shuhang gasped as he endured the excruciating sensation.

Pavilion Master Chu and Senior Turtle were left in stunned silence.

After half a minute, Song Shuhang gradually acclimated to the pain of his body melting and managed to calm down.

Simultaneously, information from the secret appraisal technique began to appear in his mind, although it came in intermittent bursts, as if it struggled to convey the details.

[Unnamed man-made small world fragment: This is a man-made small world fragment with a long history dating back to the primordial era. It has since shattered and remains only a fragment. However, it still houses numerous life auras.]

The fact that it had existed since time immemorial explained the novel type of pain it induced.

[A formidable ancient G.o.d resides deep within this small world. It is on the brink of awakening or may have already awakened. Please exercise caution.]

[Hint 1: Your core world might resonate with this man-made small world fragment. If the terrifying ancient G.o.d doesn't exist, it's possible that your core world can establish a connection with the fragment.]

[Hint 2: You possess a lucky charm that can a.s.sist you in exploring this artificial small world.]

[Hint 3: If you experience pain, clap your hands. When you clap, retract your right hand to reduce the pain level.]

Song Shuhang withdrew his right hand from the void into his Inner World.

Pain? It had been quite painful, but it hadn't been enough to make him collapse. It was a unique type of pain, and he had gradually adapted to it.

Song Shuhang looked thoughtfully at his right hand. Fairy Defiant Whale made an appearance. She bit her finger and knelt on the glove's back while gazing at Song Shuhang with confusion.

"It's okay, I didn't summon you," Song Shuhang managed to smile through the pain.

"Have you obtained the information you needed?" the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword inquired.

"Yes, this small world is not a natural creation but a man-made one," Song Shuhang confirmed.

Pavilion Master Chu couldn't help but exhale in surprise. "Does the information indicate how to access this small world?"

"I received a hint," Song Shuhang replied. "It mentioned that I have a fortuitous lucky charm, which can help me access this small world. Additionally, there may be a connection between this small world and my Inner World."

"A lucky charm? Does that refer to me?" Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet chimed in confidently.

However, the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword cast doubt, saying, "Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, I don't sense any luck coming from you."

Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet's arrogance had led him into conflicts with several formidable beings which included the remaining members of the ancient Heavenly City, Fairy Fengyi, the Heavenly Dao Remnant Ball, and the fat ball when accompanying Song Shuhang out of the Beast Cultivator World's Forbidden Area. His actions hardly seemed fortunate.

"Do you have any ideas?" Pavilion Master Chu asked.

"Yes, I have some theories," Song Shuhang replied. He then twisted his body and caused his smoke-like form to melt into a puddle on the ground. However, he maintained his state and prevented any dire consequences.

He waved his hand, and a golden disk array emerged from his Inner World which landed in his palm. It emitted an aura of spatial laws.

"This is a golden array Senior White gave me previously," Song Shuhang explained. "It's related to luck and might be the lucky charm referred to in the hint."

"Is this a magical tool?" the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword inquired.

"To be precise, it's an inherited magical tool. Senior White obtained a set of secret spatial techniques from the Almighty Merchant, and this array was left behind after the techniques were pa.s.sed down," Song Shuhang clarified.

The golden disk array was a refined treasure. By carrying it daily, Song Shuhang had a chance to awaken a minor spatial talent, the nature of which depended on his character.

"How do you use this golden array?" Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet asked.

lightsvl ?m "It's possible that I need to comprehend a small spatial talent from it, which might then help me access the small world," Song Shuhang speculated.

"Have you comprehended it?" the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword questioned.

"It's not that simple," Song Shuhang replied. As he spoke, his body began to melt again, this time more smoothly. The golden disk array fell to the ground.

"Senior Song, your body... is melting again," observed Soft Feather.

Song Shuhang gazed down at the ground, then back up at the sky. "Ah, I see it now, Soft Feather."

Fortunately, he hadn't exited his smoke-like form.

"I have a daring proposal," the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword stated.

"Me too," added Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet.

"Please share your ideas," the puddle that was once Song Shuhang responded.

"Saber Nurturing Technique," the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword declared.

Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet contributed. "What if I integrate this golden disk array into Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song's body? It might yield miraculous results."

Different voices mentioned the same sentiment.

After their statements, the two artifact spirits exchanged glances.

"I thought we had a rare moment of agreement," the Heart Demon Scarlet Heaven Sword mused.

"I thought so too," Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet concurred.

The Defiant Whale Fairy Artifact Spirit couldn't help but sigh.

"Let's try both approaches simultaneously," Pavilion Master Chu suggested.

With that, Soft Feather picked up the golden disk array and carefully placed it into Song Shuhang's melting body.

Song Shuhang managed to use his smoke-like form to envelop the golden disk array and activate the Saber Nurturing Technique. The black smoke enshrouded the golden disk array, and within the smoky veil, seven-colored lights intermittently flickered.

This scene hinted at the birth of an epic-level magical tool.
