Simultaneously traversing: the pinnacle of all realms

Blue Rabbit and Sally turned their faces away, unable to bear to watch.

DouDou lowered her head, pretending to tidy up the silver needles, but her hands were shaking, and she couldn't put the silver needles back into the needle case several times.

Rainbow Cat walked in from outside the tomb passage, stood behind the Mercedes-Benz, and remained silent for a long time.

"Da Ben," his voice was low, "please accept my condolences—"

Da Ben raised his head, his eyes were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and the tear stains on his face were still wet, but his gaze had already changed.

"I'm going to take out the Thunderclap Sword," he said, emphasizing each word, "to avenge my godmother."

He gently placed his sixth sister-in-law on the ground, stood up, and wiped away the tears on his face.

Following the opened passage, we walked deeper into the tomb, where there was an activated mechanism, and at the very back lay a stone coffin.

The stone coffin was perfectly sealed, as if it were just a stone in the shape of a coffin, with a line of words carved on it, and faint sword energy flowing around it.

The Thunderclap Sword Inscription: Abstain from alcohol! Abstain from gambling! Upright and righteous, for the sake of all living beings!

However, after searching around the stone coffin for a long time, Da Ben couldn't find a place to take out the Thunder Sword. He became a little frustrated, but he still suppressed the idea of ​​smashing it open with the Water and Fire Stick.

Finally, Da Ben stared at that line of text for a long time.

Then he knelt down and kowtowed three times to the stone coffin.

His forehead struck the cold stone slab with a dull thud.

"Father, Mother, I've never known who you are since I was a child," his voice was hoarse, but every word was spoken with great emphasis, "but you must have your reasons for leaving this sword here."

"I, Da Ben, swear to God today—from this day forward, I will never touch a drop of alcohol, nor gamble again. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"

"Godmother, if you're watching over us from heaven, please help Ben'er again!"

After he finished speaking, the tomb remained silent.

Suddenly, a dull thud came from the ground in front of the stone coffin.

The stone slab slowly slid open, revealing a circular groove whose size and shape perfectly matched the head of the Water and Fire Stick.

Da Ben paused for a moment, then looked down at the water-fire stick in his hand.

"This is... a key?"

He inserted the water-and-fire stick into the groove, and it fit perfectly.

A deep rumble came from underground, and the entire tomb chamber trembled slightly.

The lid of the stone coffin slowly slid open, and a bluish-white light shone through the crack, growing brighter and brighter.

A long sword rose from the stone coffin; its blade was bluish-white, and electric light seemed to flow from its edge.

Thunderclap Sword.

At the same time, an orange spirit dove flew out from behind the stone coffin, fluttered its wings, landed on the sword hilt, and tilted its head to look at Da Ben.

Lingge Xiaosan.

Da Ben reached out and grasped the sword hilt.

The sword vibrated and emitted a clear, melodious hum, as if something alive was responding to him.

With a forceful pull, the Thunderclap Sword shot out, its blade crackling with lightning.

Da Ben stood in the tomb chamber, holding the Thunder Sword, his body wreathed in lightning, like an angry Vajra.

"The Demonic Cult!" he gritted his teeth, enunciating each word clearly, "I will make you pay with your lives!"

He turned around and was about to rush outside.

"Wait!" Lu Ze grabbed him.

"Brother Lu, what are you waiting for?" Da Ben shook off his hand. "The revenge for my godmother—"

"Sixth Sister-in-law is not dead."

The tomb chamber fell silent.

Da Ben stood frozen in place, the Thunder Sword still raised in mid-air, its lightning flashing intermittently.

"What did you say?"

"Sixth Sister-in-law isn't dead." Lu Ze repeated, his voice calm, his eyes fixed on Da Ben. "She took Dou Dou's fake death drug and will wake up in two hours."

Da Ben slowly turned his head to look at Hong Mao and the others. Everyone's expressions told him that it was true.

Da Ben walked blankly toward Sixth Sister, who was leaning against the stone wall.

Her face was still pale, her chest was not rising and falling, and her pulse was not strong—but he suddenly noticed that her body temperature was still warm.

He then looked at DouDou.

DouDou shrank her neck and whispered, "...The Turtle Breathing Feigned Death Pill lasts for two hours. There won't be any side effects."

Rainbow Cat nodded. Blue Rabbit lowered her eyes slightly. Sally bit her lip and remained silent.

Da Ben glanced at them, then at Sixth Sister-in-law on the ground.

"You..." Da Ben's voice trembled, "You all conspired to deceive me?"

"Big Ben, let us explain—" Rainbow Cat stepped forward.

"Explain what?" Da Ben's eyes reddened again, but this time it wasn't sadness, it was anger. "You made me think my godmother was dead, made me cry like a fool, just so I could take this sword?"

"Yes," Lu Ze said.

Da Ben stared at him, his chest heaving violently.

The lightning on the Thunderclap Sword flickered, dancing between bluish-white and dim light, as if echoing its master's chaotic emotions.

He held his sword and stood there for a long time.

Da Ben looked at everyone, over and over again, and finally sheathed the Thunderclap Sword and carried it behind his back.

Without saying a word, he turned around and walked to Sixth Sister's side, bent down, and carefully picked her up. He moved very gently and walked out step by step.

Seeing this, the crowd looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to follow closely behind.

As if remembering something, Lu Ze turned around, picked up the water and fire stick that had been thrown down, and hurriedly chased after it.

-

From the cemetery to the Happy Forest, it's a ten-mile mountain road.

The Mercedes-Benz drove at the front without saying a word.

Lu Ze followed behind him, rambling on and on about the whole story—the idea was his, Sixth Sister-in-law agreed, Dou Dou provided the fake death drug, Hong Mao and the others helped set up the scene, and the corpses of those demonic cult lackeys were all killed in advance…

Da Ben did not respond, but listened quietly.

Upon arriving at Happy Forest, Da Ben entered Sixth Sister's room, gently placed her on the bed, and pulled the blanket over her.

He turned around and looked at Lu Ze.

Lu Ze subconsciously took a half step back, looked around, and found that he was the only one who had followed in—Hong Mao and the others were all peeking in from outside the door, none of them had come in.

"Your matter," Da Ben pointed at him, "will be settled later."

After saying that, he walked out of the room without looking back.

"Big Ben Warrior, where are you going?" Rainbow Cat shouted from behind.

"Find a place to practice your swordsmanship," Da Ben's muffled voice echoed from the end of the corridor.

Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to settle accounts later than on the spot.

He thought about it for a moment, then followed them out.

-

Outside the Happy Forest, by the river, Da Ben sat on a rock, gazing blankly at the distant mountains.

One by one, the stars lit up in the night sky, reflecting in the river, making it impossible to distinguish where the sky ended and the water began.

Lu Ze walked over and sat down next to him without saying a word, simply handing him the Water and Fire Stick.

Da Ben took it without turning his head, and the two remained silent for a long time.

"Mother isn't dead," Da Ben suddenly spoke, his voice muffled. "That's wonderful."

Lu Ze turned his head and saw that Da Ben's eyes were red again, and tears were silently streaming down his cheeks.

"Da Ben," Lu Ze said, "if Sixth Sister-in-law hadn't 'died' today, would you have been able to produce the Thunderclap Sword?"

"And if you can't produce the Thunderclap Sword, Sixth Sister might really die for it, and many more people like Sixth Sister will die in the world."

The Mercedes did not answer.

he knows.
