Chapter 1935: Holy Shi… Heavens!
Even after all the research that the Heavenly Emperor did on inner demons, she was unable to figure out a way to completely exterminate them.
As expected of inner demons, one of the most troublesome existences that cultivators had had to face since ancient times!
However, this is not what I should be focusing on right now.
Song Shuhang’s gaze shifted to the halved inner demon that had been forcibly taken from Young Master Hai’s clone.
The energy of the Inner Demon Cave firmly held the inner demon captive, making sure that it could not extricate itself from its grasp.
However, the Inner Demon Cave did not do anything afterward.
The cave was just a fragment, and it was very likely that it had lost its other features, making it unable to do anything to this inner demon. Either that or it was also possible that after forcefully drawing the inner demon out from a target, it would be left to the Heavenly Emperor to deal with.
“Regardless, this makes things a lot more convenient for me,” said Song Shuhang.

He rummaged through his Inner World and magical bracelet, but he did not find any magical treasure that could store an inner demon.

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior White, do you have a way to seal this inner demon and store it somewhere?”
Senior White replied, “I’ll check… But my treasure trove is just too big. I’m not sure that I’m going to be able to find something that has those functions.”
He did not even know how many things were stored in his treasure trove.
1
After saying that, Senior White went into a daze and began to check his huge treasure trove.
Song Shuhang pinched his chin and looked at the inner demon floating in the air, thinking about how to cook it.
In Demon Emperor Hezhi’s ❮Heavenly Tribulation Grand Banquet❯, there were two dishes that were related to the inner demon tribulation.
One was the ❮Smoked Inner Demon Tribulation Slices❯, which would smoke an inner demon before slicing it up. The smoking process was the same as that of the ❮Braised Heavenly Tribulation❯, and it required quite a number of steps.
The other one was the ❮Inner Demon Tribulation Sashimi Slices❯. This dish would have the inner demon placed onto a chopping board and sliced up. Afterward, some seasonings would be added, then it would be ready to be eaten, fresh and tasty.
The ❮Smoked Inner Demon Tribulation Slices❯’s method was very easy to comprehend, and because of the smoking process, it would allow the inner demon tribulation to materialize and create an incomparably delicious dish.
On the other hand, the ❮Inner Demon Tribulation Sashimi Slices❯ seemed quite difficult to handle, despite how simple it appeared.
Song Shuhang looked at the inner demon in the air. An inner demon should have a body of pure energy, which makes it intangible. How am I supposed to slice it up? And after that, how is it supposed to be eaten?
Unless it was first transformed into something like the black Scarlet Heaven Sword or the black-skinned Soft Feather, it was quite difficult to picture how to prepare this dish.
Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, is there a way to transform this inner demon into something like you?”
The black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword replied quickly, “Yes.”
Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up.
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said proudly, “Let me swallow it. After that, we can take it out of me and it should have a solid body. As an inner demon, I should be able to swallow it.”
Song Shuhang: “…”

Song Shuhang waved his hands. His left and right hands shone brightly as he pressed them onto Scarlet Heaven Sword’s body again and again, giving it ten instances of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ in a single go.
2
Normally, Song Shuhang would only use three instances at one time on Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword as it gave it the perfect level of comfort.
As for having used it ten times, that was an accident.
“Ahhhh~ Stop, stop~ It’s too much!” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said weakly. “Actually, I don’t even have the ability to eat. I was just joking with you. I’m only a sword.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword continued, “However, I have a bold idea. Although I don’t have the ability to eat, I can…”
“Bah! Senior, please just shut up.” Song Shuhang fired another ten bursts of the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯, making the black Scarlet Heaven Sword shut up.
1
It was truly stupid of me to ask the black Scarlet Heaven Sword such a question.
I’ve even been deceived by Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword to use the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ on it twenty times!
“Sixteen, Sister White Dragon, what do you think?” Song Shuhang looked at Sixteen.
Su Clan’s Sixteen shook her head. “Sorry, Shuhang, I can’t help you with this.”
Sister White Dragon said, “I feel like Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword—”
Song Shuhang interrupted, “Sister White Dragon, please don’t be like it.”
“What in the world is in that head of yours?” Sister White Dragon did not know whether to cry or laugh. “Anyway, what I was trying to say was that I feel like we could use Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword’s current state as a reference. By following the process by which it materialized, we might be able to do the same for the partial inner demon that was extracted.”
Song Shuhang said, “You have a point.”
Then, Song Shuhang summoned the black-skinned Soft Feather.
“Soft Feather, it’s time for you to shine,” Song Shuhang said.
The black-skinned Soft Feather replied in a gentle and polite manner, “Sorry, Senior Song. I don’t have any way to transform other people’s inner demons into an inner demon clone. The only thing that I can do is to carefully explain the main body’s research on inner demon clones, and then perhaps figure out how to make an inner demon acquire a solid state… However, the actual operation will probably require Senior Song’s help.”
Song Shuhang said, “Then, let’s go to the entrance of the Inner Demon Cave to discuss this.”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “Why go to the entrance of the cave?”
Song Shuhang smiled and said, “To save precious time.”

Song Shuhang, Sixteen, Fairy Creation, the black-skinned Soft Feather, the virtuous lamia, and the dazed Senior White went to the entrance of the Inner Demon Cave.
Song Shuhang opened the entrance to the Inner World right beside him.
At this time, True Monarch Eternal Fire was still directing the members of the scholarly faction and moving Heavenly City Fragments into Song Shuhang’s Inner World before transferring them to the world of the golden lotus.
Meanwhile, Song Shuhang and several others began to discuss how to modify the inner demon clone technique into something that would allow inner demons to materialize.
This allowed them to work on two things at once, making the most of their time.
The discussion was still at the point where the black-skinned Soft Feather was explaining the principles and details of the inner demon clone technique. During this time, Sister White Dragon would occasionally raise some questions to clarify her understanding of the technique.
As they discussed and conversed on how to make an inner demon materialize, time swiftly passed.
Before they knew it, the sun had already wandered across the sky and began to set toward the west.
Another day was coming to an end.
The scholarly faction paused the transportation of Heavenly City Fragments. The disciples who were moving the fragments needed some rest, new Heavenly City Fragments needed to be brought over from other academies of the scholarly faction, and the formations that were used to compress the fragments needed maintenance.
Song Shuhang and the others were still in the middle of discussing how to materialize an inner demon.
After an entire day of discussion, they had already modified the ❮Inner Demon Clone Technique❯, making a huge step forward.
This was thanks to the contributions of the black-skinned Soft Feather.
Just over half an hour ago, the black-skinned Soft Feather suddenly entered a state of pseudo-enlightenment and proposed many innovative solutions.
It could be said that she alone had greatly pushed forward the progress of the modification plan.
“Okay, let’s take a rest first. I’ll sort out and organize the ideas that were proposed just now. Later on, we can do some experimentation and see which works the best.” Song Shuhang raised his head and said, “We really have to thank Soft Feath— Holy Shi… Heavens!”
Song Shuhang had to stop himself mid-sentence because he discovered that, beside the black-skinned Soft Feather, there was another Soft Feather.
