Chapter 1565: The sea of knowledge is limitless, a mountain of books is without a path

　　With Profound Sage Tyrannical Song entering the formation, Demon Monarch Anzhi felt that the power of the heavenly tribulation had increased!

　　An extremely bad premonition surged in its heart.

　　“Rumble~”

　　The lightning of the heavenly tribulation became a pool, descending on them. However, when these bolts of heavenly lightning fell on Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s body, they felt like a layer of special light effects on him, making it such that his appearance brought about more pressure.

　　Demon Monarch Anzhi murmured, “He… He isn’t an inner demon?”

　　“You’ve guessed it right.” Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had already been in front of him for an unknown amount of time—there had clearly still been quite a distance between them just now, but Profound Sage Tyrannical Song suddenly appeared in front of it out of thin air, just as if he had crossed space.

　　Was it a spatial ability?

　　In the next moment, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song stretched out his hand and placed it on top of its head.

　　Demon Monarch Anzhi fell into despair.

　　A mere push from Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s palm, and it might actually die.

　　However… the pain and death that it had been expecting did not arrive.

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song simply pressed his hand on its head, before saying softly, “Do you yearn for the blue sky?”

　　Demon Monarch Anzhi: “???”

　　In the meantime, the modernized attacks of the heavenly tribulation descended madly. However, they were all blocked by the shield beside Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song asked softly, “Men all long for the blue sky. Even though they are without wings, they dream of touching the blue sky. I ask you, do you long for the blue sky?”

　　I don’t really understand what Profound Sage Tyrannical Song wants to express. How should I answer at this time?

　　“Yes, I desperately yearn for the blue sky,” Demon Monarch Anzhi replied.

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song smiled, and said, “Great, I had not misunderstood you.”

　　In the next moment…

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song grabbed him, jumped fiercely, and then rose into the sky.

　　He had not flown; it was pure jumping ability.

　　The speed was incredibly fast, just as if they were a cannonball that had been shot upward.

　　After they reached a certain height, a black lotus appeared under Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s feet, on which he jumped vigorously once more, allowing them to rise even higher.

　　In the blink of an eye, they were above the clouds.

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song said, “Look, the blue sky.”

　　Afterward, he let go of Demon Monarch Anzhi.

　　F*ck… If I fall down from such a height, I’ll be done for. Demon Monarch Anzhi quickly brought out the Limitless Demon Sect’s standard flying sword, stepped on it, and got the sword to float in the air.

　　In the next moment, he saw Profound Sage Tyrannical Song standing upright, heading to the ground.

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had left just like that.

　　And, he had taken the large and incomparably sturdy shield with him. From beginning to end, this large shield had been the one blocking the heavenly tribulation for the two of them.

　　As soon as the shield was gone, the entire heavenly tribulation directly enveloped Demon Monarch Anzhi’s body.

　　More importantly, when Profound Sage Tyrannical Song took them to the blue sky, he brought Demon Monarch Anzhi away from the tribulation-transcending formation which it worked so hard to arrange.

　　Its six demon god pillars, its tribulation-transcending formation, the evil qi buried underneath, and the Blood God Crystal were currently not with it.

　　For Demon Monarch Anzhi, it was tantamount to facing the heavenly tribulation head-on and without support.

　　Moreover, this was a strengthened heavenly tribulation after Profound Sage Tyrannical Song had entered the fray.

　　Demon Monarch Anzhi could not bear it anymore, and so it cursed loudly, “Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, you f*cker! To hell with yearning for the blue sky!”

　　At the same time, it quickly reached out its hand into one of its pockets.

　　In addition to the tribulation-transcending formation, it had also prepared some other means. One should not place all of one’s bets into one bowl, so it still had other options.

　　However, when Demon Monarch Anzhi stretched out its hand, its face changed.

　　What it had hidden in its pocket had disappeared without it knowing.

　　“Boom~”

　　Thousands of modern weapons containing a hundred different kinds of powers from the tribulation opened fire, bombarding Demon Monarch Anzhi.

　　Meanwhile…

　　Song Shuhang’s clone plunged straight toward the ground. This time, he had his entire body buried into the ground with the exception of his right arm.

　　In the palm of his right hand was a cosmos bag.

　　He’d just used the powerful ‘Divine Stealing Technique’ of the ❮200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive❯ that Lady Onion had learned.

　　Just because Song Shuhang hadn’t used this powerful technique much, it did not mean that he didn’t know how to use it.

　　When he had lived Lady Onion’s life in the dreamland, this set of lost techniques had long become integrated with his soul, becoming part of his skillset.

　　As long as he wanted to use it, he could do so at any time.

　　Song Shuhang’s clone shook his right hand, throwing the cosmos bag into his Inner World.

　　Afterward, he pushed hard and got himself out of the ground.

　　Song Shuhang said, “I should learn the ‘Ground Leveling Spell’ from Senior White in the future. Otherwise, every time I plunge into the ground, there would be a huge hole left behind, which would be bad for the environment.”

　　“Aaaahhh~” In the sky, Demon Monarch Anzhi could not even survive two waves of the heavenly tribulation. Its scorched body soon fell to the ground.

　　There was no vitality left in its body, and the tribulation lightning that filled the sky locked onto Song Shuhang’s clone instead.

　　But after a while, it dissipated.

　　After all, it was Demon Monarch Anzhi who was transcending the tribulation.

　　Now that Demon Monarch Anzhi had failed to transcend it, the tribulation would naturally dissipate as Song Shuhang had yet to reach the level for transcending his tribulation.

　　And so, the heavenly tribulation was now gone.

　　Demon Monarch Anzhi’s scorched body had fallen right in front of Song Shuhang.

　　Immediately before the corpse fell to the ground, Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and gently lifted it. His spiritual energy surged, and he used his mental energy to control it, supporting the body.

　　As it was no longer under Demon Monarch Anzhi’s control, the tribulation-transcending formation returned to its previous state, and the six demon god pillars sunk into the ground.

　　The tribulation-transcending formation was still intact, and one only needed to add the spirit stones for it to be activated again. It was a pity that this tribulation-transcending formation was for the use of demonic cultivators. It was useless to Song Shuhang, and his disciples couldn’t use it either.

　　As the aura of the heavenly tribulation had completely disappeared, Song Shuhang released Doudou from the Inner World.

　　At this time, Demon Monarch Anzhi, who was on the ground and had no vitality, suddenly opened his eyes slowly and coughed violently.

　　Doudou asked in surprise, “Eh? He isn’t dead yet?”

　　It was very rare for a practitioner who had failed to transcend their tribulation to survive.

　　In the past, it was possible for seniors to keep watch by their junior’s side, and if the transcension failed, they could forcefully disperse the heavenly tribulation to save the junior’s life. Such was the case for Su Clan’s Sixteen back then.

　　However, now that the heavenly tribulation had mutated and could no longer be forcefully dispersed. It was rare for a practitioner to survive after failing to transcend their tribulation.

　　On Demon Monarch Anzhi’s body, tribulation fire was still ablaze. However, its feeble life remained—and, even more amazingly, the tribulation fire was slowly weakening.

　　This was all thanks to the effect of the ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ from the Immortal Farming Sect.

　　The ‘Seven Colors Wonder Fruit’ had a magical effect, having very strong healing properties when it came to wounds from the heavenly tribulation.

　　The Seven Colors Wonder Fruit had been turned into two liquefied pills with the help of Zheng Neng and Young Master Hai.

　　One pill was to be taken before transcending the tribulation so that even if they failed in transcending, there was still a chance for their life to be saved.

　　The other was to be taken when they successfully transcended their tribulation, thus increasing the chance of a greater number of core patterns.

　　“Cough, cough, cough.” Demon Monarch Anzhi coughed weakly and looked at Song Shuhang and Doudou in a vengeful manner.

　　Doudou asked, “Shuhang, how should we deal with him?”

　　Song Shuhang said, “Why don’t you deal with him? Wasn’t it you who he had offended?”

　　Doudou replied, “Forget it, I’m not interested in this kind of half-dead guy.”

　　Song Shuhang chuckled, and said, “Then, I’ll keep him in my Inner World first.”

　　Doudou suddenly thought of the conversation he had with Venerable Tornado and the others in the group before, and the fur on his tail rose. “Shuhang, you can’t actually be thinking of taming him, right?”

　　“Just what is going on in that dog head of yours?” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “I’m planning on keeping Demon Monarch Anzhi, Young Master Hai, and Zheng Neng alive so that I can give them to Sixteen later. After all, it would be more meaningful to give them to her alive rather than dead.”

　　Sixteen once vowed to kill Young Master Hai and his companions.

　　So, wouldn’t this be like a big gift to her?

　　“Haha, woof.” Doudou blinked and stuck his tongue out.

　　Demon Monarch Anzhi slowly closed his eyes. “No golden core.”

　　Doudou said, “Although you don’t have a golden core, if you want, I can ask Tyrannical Song to send you a nascent soul. How about it?”

　　Demon Monarch Anzhi tilted his head and stopped talking.

　　Song Shuhang stretched out his hand and sent it into the Inner World, temporarily locked it in the ‘Palace of Winter’.

　　Recently, he had been treating the Palace of Winter as a prison… He hoped that the Great Northern Emperor would not blame him for this.

　　“Alright, let’s summarize this incident and send a report in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.” Song Shuhang clapped his hands and said, “Afterward, we shall cover up this large formation using an illusion technique. I can then ask if any senior in the group is interested in this formation, and transfer it to them if they are. After all, it is a tribulation-transcending formation of the Fifth Stage, and its power is relatively high.”

　　Doudou said, “My account is muted in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, so you should report it to Stupid Yellow Mountain and the others.”

　　After saying that, he squatted on the edge of the tribulation-transcending formation, and fell into thought.

　　And so, a pensive Pekingese appeared.

　　“What are you doing?” Song Shuhang asked curiously. A pensive Doudou was completely off style.

　　“I’m recalling,” Doudou said. “I’m recalling the scene of Demon Monarch Anzhi transcending the tribulation just now and trying to learn useful things from it. I’m soon going to transcend the tribulation myself, so I hoped to get some benefits from this.”

　　This earnest, eager-to-learn Doudou was very cute.

　　Song Shuhang took out his phone and began to summarize his experience with Doudou in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

　　Doudou continued to remain in a pensive posture.

　　One should not judge him solely based on how he acted during normal times. When it came to his heavenly tribulation, he did not dare to take things lightly. He already had a small list of precautions for his heavenly tribulation.

　　At this time, Doudou silently wrote a note in his mind: “When I transcend the tribulation, I must never have Song Shuhang by my side. The pressure would be too great, and it would be easy for him to become my inner demon. I would feel like he’s always staring at me, ready to make me pregnant.

　　More importantly, I must have a guardian, and I must not let anyone who I’ve offended know about my tribulation.”

　　He then continued to repeat the scene of Demon Monarch Anzhi transcending the tribulation in his mind and gained a lot of experience from it. Occasionally, a feeling of epiphany would emerge in his heart.

　　There was now a feeling in Doudou’s heart. When it came to his own heavenly tribulation, he felt like there was a 90% chance of success.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　On Western Orchid Island.

　　Song Shuhang’s body lay idly on the cash register.

　　His consciousness was currently split into two.

　　One part was with the clone, and the other part was busy with the ‘Learning God System’.

　　Learning was not bound to a specific time or place. One must learn and grasp knowledge at any time. The sea of knowledge was limitless, and a mountain of books was without a path. One had to carve their path through diligence, and build a boat with their hard work.

　　As Song Shuhang’s body was roaming the endless sea of knowledge, he suddenly felt a gentle little hand touching his head.

　　It was soft, and comfortable…
