Mother Earth was said to be 4.6 billion years old, yet these grains of sand were even older!
Song Shuhang sighed inwardly.
With the improvement of his strength, his mastery over the secret appraisal technique was also getting better and better. Right now, if he were to accidentally appraise Earth itself, he would probably survive.
However, even after paying such a steep price, all he managed to identify was that the sand was 5 billion years old. Wasnât this akin to purposefully stifling his heart?
It wouldâve been better if the appraisal just failed.
Could there be some other information that hasnât been transmitted to my mind yet? Song Shuhangâs primordial soul didnât move and kept using the secret appraisal technique.
After a whileâŠ
The black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, âDid you find anything out?â
Song Shuhang raised his head and said with a serious face, âYes, I got a very old piece of information.â
âWhat is it?â Senior White asked curiously. He was very interested in this place that he suspected to be his hometown.
Song Shuhang pinched his chin and said, âAccording to the information I got, the sand in this desert is five billion years old.â
Senior White: ââŠâ
The black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword took this opportunity to give Senior White a suggestion, âSince Shuhang is completely useless, why donât we just bury him? Fellow Daoist White, you can use me to stab this guy to ensure that the cut is perfect. This should bring him the most extreme of pains.â
âWhy am I being blamed for this? This is the information that was given by the secret appraisal technique. Iâm also a victim as I suffered for nothing.â While Song Shuhangâs primordial soul spoke, his body was still jolting.
Because he was a primordial soul, there were no wounds on his body, but the price had been borne by the main body.
Of course, there was also a very small chance that the price would be borne by a âghost spiritâ or similar entity.
In the past, his first ghost spirit had been in so much pain that it had asked Shuhang to comfort it!
âHowever, besides its age, I did get some other information about the sand.â Song Shuhangâs primordial soul gradually stopped trembling. After adapting to the pain, he said seriously, âIn addition to telling me that the sand is five billion years old⊠the secret appraisal technique told me that the sand is also particularly charming.â
âWhat the hell?â The black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword raised its hilt slightly and âstaredâ at Song Shuhang. Is this what they mean when they say that after someone stays single for too long, everything starts to look charming?
âThatâs all I got from the secret appraisal technique.â Song Shuhang squatted down again, picked up a handful of sand, and observed it carefully.
The fine, warm sand slowly slipped through his fingers.
Song Shuhang raised his hands and spread them apart.
The golden sand trickled down, with each grain of sand shining as it drifted through the wind, resulting in a beautiful scene. It was just as he had guessed. The sand in the desert had the same charm as Senior White, but this charm was spread throughout the entire desert, so it was not as overbearing as Senior Whiteâs charm that was all gathered on his person.
The black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword said, âDamn⊠Have I also been single for too long?â
When the sand was falling, it really did look charming. It wanted to stay in the desert and spend the rest of its life accompanying the sand.
After going back, it had to talk to its almost forgotten master, Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven, and ask him if there was any intelligent sword spirit suitable to be its partner.
âThe world, it has moved,â the stone tablet said in a deep, poetic voice.
Senior White also squatted down. He threw the spirit vein enclosed in the pillar-shaped spirit stone into the air and supported it with his mental energy. Afterward, he inserted his fingers into the sand and picked up a handful of it, watching as it slipped through his fingers.
As the fine sand slipped through Senior Whiteâs fingers, everyone could feel the world shake slightly.
But again, it was not shaking physically.
Like an hourglass, it was turned over, and the sand began to fall again.
The frozen world began to move once again, coming back to life.
The sun rose slowly, and under the sunlight, the entire desert shone with a dazzling light.
Song Shuhang, Scarlet Heaven Sword, and the stone tablet all diverted their attention and looked toward the rising sun.
âBoom~â
At this time, a loud thud could be heard behind them.
As soon as Song Shuhang turned his head, he saw that the pillar-shaped spiritual vein that Senior White dug out before had crashed to the ground.
âSenior White?â Song Shuhang was taken aback.
Senior White disappeared again.
Under the pillar-shaped spiritual vein, where Senior White was originally standing, there was a robe. The robe was the same robe that Senior White used to wear.
The stone tablet asked in a daze, âHe disappeared?â
It had been floating beside Senior White until a moment ago, but now he was gone.
Song Shuhang frowned. He stepped forward and stored Senior Whiteâs pillar-shaped spiritual vein inside his magical bracelet, and then picked up his magical robe.
The black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, âCan you sense Fellow Daoist Whiteâs aura?â
âItâs everywhere,â the stone tablet replied. The whole world was filled with Whiteâs aura, so it was impossible to lock onto his position through his aura.
Song Shuhang stored the robe inside his magical braceletâif True Monarch White Crane were here, the first thing it would do would be to put on this robe, right?
Song Shuhang said calmly, âThis desert is Senior White.â
Regarding Whiteâs identity, Song Shuhang had several theories.
âLittle Whiteâ was seemingly born from a desert.
The young man in green robes refined a desert and fused it with Little White to prevent him from disappearing.
However, the white horse that the young man in green robes was riding was also quite mysterious.
The disappearance of Senior White was obviously related to this desert.
âLetâs explore the desert.â Song Shuhang reached out and picked up the shrunken Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, hung Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword behind his waist, and strode toward the rising sun.
âWhere are we going?â asked the black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword.
Song Shuhang shook his head. âI donât know. I will go where we need to go.â
The black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, âIs your artistic soul acting up again?â
âWhat does this have to do with an artistâs soul?â Song Shuhang did not know whether to laugh or cry. âIâm just going to head in a direction according to what my heart tells me.â
The stone tablet âlookedâ at Song Shuhang again.
At this time, Song Shuhang looked strangely reliable.
Apart from the sun in the sky, there was nothing else worth mentioning in this world.
Along the way, the black-skinned Scarlet Heaven Sword tried using magical techniques to leave marks on the ground.
But every time they moved a certain distance, the marks would disappearâŠ
Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, âAre we going to get lost?â
âDonât worry, we wonât get lost,â said Song Shuhang.
With that, he leaped forward and stepped on a black lotus, using the scholarly factionâs Virtuous Manâs Ten Thousand Mile Walk to rush forward.
Soon, a building appeared before his eyes.
The presence of a building implied that someone might live there.
