Chapter 3078 -3076: Catch it off guard and deal with it clearly and unmistakably!

“What does character setting even matter for a sword? I’m a sword, not a person,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword didn’t care about such things.

“Brother, you’re a saber.” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet was the first to express dissatisfaction, reminding out loud—it felt that it might be jealous, jealous that Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword was the first to evolve from a magical treasure into a human form. It wanted to evolve too!

Scarlet Heaven Sword directly blocked what its little friend, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, had said, tossing its wavy long hair handsomely: “For a sword, how much fighting strength it can enhance when held in hand is what truly matters. Don’t be short-sighted and only look at my appearance, you should see my inner qualities!”

“Has Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword transcended?” Dada Egg observed Scarlet Heaven Sword closely, her tone uncertain as she asked.

Under her observation, Scarlet Heaven Sword had broken through a limit of the ‘divine weapon of an Immortal’.

Even though it was only a tiny bit.

But this tiny bit was a historic step.

After breaking the limit, Scarlet Heaven Sword could continue to reinforce itself further, no longer bound by the ‘limit’ of the past!

“That’s right, although I can’t evolve into a primordial treasure, I’ve now broken through the limit. Before the next ‘limit’ arrives, I can evolve freely, keep growing stronger. Even I can’t estimate what the final limit is at the moment,” Scarlet Heaven Sword said, tilting its head up proudly.

At this point, it turned its head to Song Shuhang and said, “Come, Tyrannical Song, use me to swing a ‘Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique’ and give everyone a treat!”

Song Shuhang looked at Scarlet Heaven Sword in its current form, then at his own hand.

How am I supposed to use Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword?

You’re not in a sword form, so what part of you am I supposed to hold to slash with ‘Heaven Burning Flaming Saber Technique’?

“My neck, grab my neck! That’s how Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven did it, the neck is the hilt,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said discontentedly.

Song Shuhang: “…”

Even if your neck is the ‘hilt’, your current size isn’t suitable for me to hold and use!

Just then, the virtuous lamia behind Song Shuhang suddenly stepped forward.

Her body grew several times larger, and then she reached out to grab, holding Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s neck as if picking up a small chick, lightly swinging it around.

With saber qi rushing forth, a casual wave seemed to split space itself without using any skills!

Father Goudan: “…”

Three-eyed young senior: “…”

After swinging a few times casually, the virtuous lamia inverted her grip on Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, facing it eye to eye, locked in a stare.

“Hold on, ＠＃％× Fairy, what are you trying to do?” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword asked nervously.

No sooner had it spoken when the virtuous lamia in front appeared to have made up her mind, slowly opening her small mouth.

“Stop, virtuous Fairy, please don’t go through with it… Right now, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword isn’t in sword form, if you swallow it down, it’s not sword swallowing, but eating a person. That scene would be too 404!” Song Shuhang hurriedly called out.

The virtuous lamia looked disappointed and ceased her actions.

“＠＃％× Fairy, hand Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword to me for a look.” At this moment, Senior White suddenly spoke up from below.

The virtuous lamia bent her snake tail slightly, grabbing Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword and passing her to White.

Senior White reached out and gently took Scarlet Heaven Sword under the arms, catching it like a child.

Being held gently in such a position for the first time with ‘human vision’, Scarlet Heaven Sword felt very peculiar.

Senior White held Scarlet Heaven Sword aloft, as if observing it.

A moment later…

“`

“It’s the evolution of the power system.” Senior White spoke.

Song Shuhang looked puzzled, “Power system? Do magical treasures have their own cultivation systems?”

After all, he was someone who had refined two sets of the Combined Magical Treasure of the Thirty-Three Beasts. For the most part, the strengthening of a magical treasure was achieved through the cultivators themselves slowly nurturing them, or by adding various formations, enriching them with precious refining materials, to enhance the rank of the magical treasures.

“This is the change that Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword is undergoing right now,” Senior White said, tossing the Scarlet Heaven Sword high up before catching it again, clearly having a great time.

As White played, he explained, “Inside Fellow Daoist Scarlet Heaven Sword, a complete cultivation system has evolved. In other words, from now on, it can slowly cultivate on its own and then, through the feedback of cultivation, further reinforce itself.”

This was why, after breaking through its ‘limit’, the Scarlet Heaven Sword had only become slightly stronger.

However, the Scarlet Heaven Sword itself was already at the level of a ‘divine weapon of an Immortal’. After evolving a complete cultivation system, it would only need a little time to buffer, and it could quickly elevate its realm to match the state of its magical treasure form. With the aid of Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven’s ‘path to immortality,’ its own realm could reach a level close to that of an Immortal.

Even if it comprehended a complete ‘immortal path,’ it could actually evolve into an ‘Immortal’. By then, possessing both the identity of an Immortal’s divine weapon and a new Immortal, it could simultaneously call upon the power of two paths of immortality.

Unfortunately…

A magical treasure and a cultivator themselves cannot be considered ‘two separate entities’.

Otherwise, the tacit cooperation between a magical treasure with a complete cultivation system and a cultivator might be the optimum choice for ‘attaining Dao as separate entities’.

However, the current relationship between him and Shuhang has gradually become superior to the bond between the magical treasure and the cultivator himself, as they have been working together to achieve the foundation of ‘attaining Dao as separate entities’ step by step.

“So next, before Daozi retires… Shuhang, you should upgrade all of your Thirty-Three Beast Combination Magical Treasures. I have a feeling they will come in handy,” Senior White finally concluded.

At the same time, his Meteor Sword at his waist gently vibrated.

Besides the Combined Magical Treasures, his Meteor Sword also required an upgrade.

“They will come in handy? I understand, Senior White. In the following period, I will focus all my energy on upgrading the three sets of ‘Thirty-Three Beast Combination Magical Treasures’ and the Meteor Sword,” said Song Shuhang solemnly.

He knew that if Senior White said so, then in a certain aspect of the future, the upgraded Thirty-Three Beast Combination Magical Treasures plus the Meteor Sword would definitely be needed.

Of the three sets of treasures, one set was refined by the Heavenly Dao White to be given to Senior White; of the other two sets, one was owned by Song Shuhang himself, and the other set was commissioned by Senior White Two for him to forge, although since then it was always used by Song Shuhang, the ownership actually belonged to Senior White Two.

“For a better present and an even better future.” Song Shuhang deployed the “small hair growing technique,” causing his flowing hair to dance in the air, then transforming it into a hundred waving little hands.

He would become a toolperson without sense, investing all of his love into enhancing the power of all magical treasures.

It wasn’t just the Thirty-Three Beast Combination Magical Treasure and the Meteor Sword that needed it, Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet should be included too!

Right, and the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.’

Song Shuhang gazed towards the position of the Light Halo; the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’ had already completed the Ninth Revolution. However, it did not transform into a human figure like the Scarlet Heaven Sword did. Within the halo, the vague phantom of a phoenix could be seen.

Nor did the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber come out from within the halo as the Scarlet Heaven Sword had.

After a long cry, it flew behind Song Shuhang and merged into his body, forming a pair of flame-wing tattoos on his back.

“Such a beautiful tattoo, too bad it ended up on Song Goudan’s body,” Father Goudan regretfully said. Such a beautiful tattoo would be more fitting on Cheng Goudan… if not, there’s also Fellow Daoist White.

“They’re both Goudans, how can you be so partial?” The Heavenly Emperor was in a good mood, happy as long as the good things didn’t end up with Cheng Lin.

Father Goudan earnestly said, “Because Song Goudan’s looks aren’t up to par.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

Isn’t the lower half of my face still very handsome?

Furthermore.

After completing the Ninth Revolution, the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’ was in a state of being ready to unleash its power. It had possessed Song Shuhang, turning into a secret technique waiting to be activated.

This secret technique was related to the ‘freedom’ from the Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon boss.

“`

“Father Goudan, can I get Cheng Goudan’s fragments first?” Song Shuhang spoke up.

“For what?” Father Goudan asked.

“Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon left behind some clues that require several conditions to be met in order to unlock,” Song Shuhang mused.

And he had already gathered these ‘clues.’

The Eighth Revolution’s ‘Nine Transformations Phoenix Saber.’

A core world, the Virtuous Golden Lotus, or the Sinful Black Lotus—just one would suffice.

Next, a substantial chunk of Ghost God Cheng Lin’s body. It needn’t be complete, as long as it was a significant piece.

And finally… the acknowledgement of Father Goudan.

Without realizing it, Song Shuhang had found himself in possession of all these ‘conditions.’

Perhaps it wasn’t ‘without realizing.’

As he came into contact with these ‘conditions,’ the items belonging to the Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon were attracting each other, eventually converging in his hands.

Upon hearing it was a clue left by the ‘Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon,’ Father Goudan took out the egg containing ‘Cheng Lin’s fragments’ and tossed it to Song Shuhang.

“Thank you, Father Goudan,” Song Shuhang subconsciously revealed a gentle and reliable smile.

This excessively reliable smile sent shivers down Father Goudan’s spine!

It was too dramatic a change in expression for his liking.

In the exploration of the ‘Time River,’ what exactly had Song Goudan encountered?

Song Shuhang caught the egg and cradled it in his hands.

Behind him, the exit of the core world opened up, and a ‘projection of the golden lotus’ symbolizing the core world materialized.

Song Shuhang reached out and placed the big egg atop the golden lotus projection.

Behind him, the ‘Nine Transformations Phoenix Saber’ tattoo transformed into a pair of crimson wings, alighting upon the egg resting on the lotus.

Upon the lotus, an egg with wings had formed.

An extremely beautiful scene.

As for the ‘acknowledgement of Father Goudan,’ that was even simpler.

The title change from ‘Cheng Goudan’ to ‘Song Goudan,’ in essence, represented Father Goudan’s acknowledgement.

“In the past, you’ve all had it tough,” Song Shuhang said softly to the lotus egg, “Now, leave everything to me!”

The lotus, the egg, the wings, and the dao name ‘Cheng Goudan’—all four layers of verification flashed by.

Authentication successful.

Then, everything reverted to as before.

Without any apparent change.

The Nine Transformations Phoenix Saber tattoo remained as it was.

The core world remained the same core world.

The Cheng Lin and Song Shuhang fragments inside the egg had not congealed either.

Above his head, Pavilion Master Chu’s Dumb Hair slightly rotated, a bit faster than usual.

Song Shuhang was still the same Song Shuhang, and yet he seemed to have become a bit more reliable.

This reliability stemmed from an aura change.

Was it the ‘freedom’ clue left by the Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon that made Tyrant Song more confident?

“Father Goudan, can I keep Cheng Goudan and the others with me for the time being?” Song Shuhang turned his head towards Father Goudan and, as he spoke, that reliable smile surfaced again.

This smile had a magical power, almost making Father Goudan feel that ‘Tyrant Song is so reliable, I could entrust him with the egg.’

“No,” but as the ruler of the Netherworld, it was Father Goudan’s job to say no to this kind of ‘reliability.’

“However… I mean, if… In the distant future, if you were to unexpectedly have a granddaughter, I could take the liberty of giving her a nickname,” proposed Song Shuhang.

“Deal,” Father Goudan nodded.

Heavenly Emperor: “…”

This was the magical communication mode between Senior Song and the ruler of the Netherworld.

“Thank you, Father Goudan.” Song Shuhang pocketed the fragments of Cheng Goudan.

Then he turned back to face the will of Daoist Senior, “Daozi, about how long will it take to complete the ‘Heavenly Dao Calculation External Device’?”

“It is the Heavenly Dao Calculation Compression Package, not an external device,” the will of Daoist Senior insisted sternly.

As the standing 8.5 Wielder of the Will, how could I possibly make something as underhand as an external device?

It’s a compression package!

“Sure, a compression package,” Song Shuhang gave Daoist Senior a thumbs up. “To ensure the balance of the game, refuse the external devices, starting with you and me.”

Pavilion Master Chu’s Dumb Hair: “…”

I just felt Tyrant Song had become a bit more reliable, it must have been an illusion!

“In fact, I’ve already completed it,” Daoist Senior replied.

As expected of the current Wielder of the Will—what an efficient work ethic!

“All the templates and channels are in place, so I just need to access some information left behind by Fat Ball and make a few modifications to use it. To be on the safe side, I have also tested it several times to ensure that there are no errors and that it can be deployed at any time,” explained Daoist Senior.

At this point, Daoist Senior paused and added, “I plan to step down from the Heavenly Dao seat ahead of schedule!”

Song Shuhang: “???”

“We’re going to create a time difference, since that Dark Giant is secretly watching, wanting to cause trouble. At the appointed time, I’ll make it look like ‘the Heavenly Dao is flourishing and will continue for tens of thousands of years’ to hide the truth and blind the Heavenly Mechanism. Should any strong entity divine, they’ll only be able to deduce a ‘change in the Heavenly Dao within tens of thousands of years.’

“Under these circumstances, we’ll finish all the preparations in the next few days… Afterward, at the first opportunity, I’ll gather all the ‘Immortals’ of the myriad realms.”

“When I suddenly step down, it’s your cue, Shuhang. Together with Fellow Daoist White, suppress all the Immortals and prove your immortality.”

“Take the opportunity to test the option of ‘two different individuals achieving pseudo-immortality simultaneously’ before the Dark Giant gets time to react. If it works, great; if not, one of you two needs to go for it!”

“When the Dark Giant, caught unprepared, realizes something’s up, it won’t have any time to think and will have to hastily provide you with a ‘Domination Secret Method.'”

“But the ‘Anti Domination Secret Method’ we have developed can turn its ‘Domination Secret Method’ to our advantage.”

“At that time, we’ll have everything perfectly laid out for it.”
