Cultivation Chat Group (Web Novel)

Chapter 1562: Isn’t this Demon Monarch Anzhi, the guy who forced me to coolly fly in the sky?

“Woof~ Shuhang, what did you ping me for? I just got muted in the group!”

Doudou’s voice came from upstairs, filled with unwillingness—if it weren’t for him having been muted by Stupid Yellow Mountain, he would have already spread gossip in the group by now.

But now… this gossip was going to be buried in his mind forever; he would only be able to recall it every now and then, and find some happiness from knowing it. However, he would never share the gossip with anyone in the group.

Tyrannical Song: “I know you’re muted, but I also know that you’re definitely reading the chat, which is why I pinged you since I knew that you would see it.”

Yellow Mountain is very tired and wants to retire: “…”

Doudou who was upstairs felt very tired. This time, couldn’t you have just raised your head to reply to me rather than typing it?

“So, do you want to go?” Song Shuhang wrote again. “I’ll be leaving immediately. If you want to go, then I’ll bring you with me; if not, then you’ll have to stay here.”

“Nonsense, of course I’m going with you, wait for me,” Doudou called out.

Yellow Mountain is very tired and wants to retire: “Doudou, make sure to pay attention to your own safety when you go to watch that fellow daoist who is transcending their tribulation. You, yourself, have already reached the point where you will soon transcend your tribulation. Take care not to trigger your own heavenly tribulation.”

Yellow Mountain didn’t even need to hear Doudou’s answer. He knew that Doudou would definitely go with Song Shuhang, and so sent the reminder in the group.

Song Shuhang replied, “Don’t worry, Senior Yellow Mountain. I’ve had much experience in this area. I won’t let Doudou get too close to the area of the heavenly tribulation.”

He was someone who had once experienced a group tribulation, which resulted in the participants all becoming Sages. He would definitely be extra guarded against such a thing, and would absolutely not let Doudou enter the scope of the tribulation.

Yellow Mountain is very tired and wants to retire: “Then I’ll be leaving Doudou in your care, little friend Shuhang. In addition, don’t let Doudou play for too long. He has to go back in a few days to close up and get ready for his tribulation.”

Song Shuhang: “Okay, leave it to me. Please rest assured, Senior Yellow Mountain.”

Doudou looked at the chat log in front of the computer, and inexplicably became frustrated.

He remembered that when he ran away from home and met Song Shuhang for the first time, Yellow Mountain had also asked Song Shuhang to take care of him.

Doudou replied very disdainfully at that time—”How could you rely on a mere rookie to watch over me?”

Unexpectedly, the reply came to bite him in the ass so quickly.

Now, Song Shuhang could already pat his chest and proudly say to Yellow Mountain—”Please don’t worry, Senior Yellow Mountain. Leave it to me.”

Doudou’s heart became stuffy and heavy.

Should I just break off relations with Song Shuhang?

Song Shuhang was standing there unmoving, saying nothing and doing nothing, and this caused Doudou to feel like he was being mocked.

❄️❄️❄️

Downstairs, Song Shuhang stretched out his hand to retrieve the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, the invisible saber insect, and the treasured saber Broken Tyrant.

As a reward, Song Shuhang used the ‘Saber-Nurturing Technique’ on each of the sabers.

As for the Celestials that were on Broken Tyrant, Song Shuhang sent them to the Inner World.

When Doudou went downstairs, he saw the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber happily spinning around Song Shuhang. The figure of the invisible saber insect was disappearing and appearing repeatedly, clearly very happy.

Broken Tyrant had no mind of its own. It floated peacefully beside Song Shuhang, much more silent than the others.

Doudou said, “Are your sabers on drugs?”

Song Shuhang smiled slightly. “This is the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯, a technique I got from a senior. It can be used to increase the intimacy between a saber and its master. At the same time, it can strengthen the saber, ultimately allowing it to become a divine saber one day.”

“I’ve only heard of the ❮Sword-Nurturing Technique❯,” Doudou said. “Moreover, as far as I know, it doesn’t have an effect like yours where it makes the weapon become like it’s on drugs.”

Song Shuhang pinched his chin. “The ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ should be a modified version of the ❮Sword-Nurturing Technique❯. Anyway, I’ll ask Senior Su Clan’s Seven about this when I have the chance.”

When he entered the dreamland previously, he had been wondering if he could learn the move ‘Heavenly Saber Burying the Starry Sea’ from ‘Su Xian’, whom he suspected to be Senior Su Clan’s Seven. However, he was also rather conflicted as to whether or not he could even use the move if he did learn it—he wasn’t someone of the Su Clan, so wouldn’t he be hunted down if he learned this move?

But during the dreamland experience, he didn’t get to come in contact with the ‘Heavenly Saber Burying the Starry Sea’, and instead learned the ❮Three Thousand Sabers Scripture❯ and ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯.

Now, his ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ was like a magic touch which was especially good at satisfying others.

I have to find a way to confirm whether Su Clan’s Seven’s name is ‘Su Xian’.

Doudou asked, “Ask Seven what?”

Song Shuhang responded, “Mm-hm, I was just thinking… what’s Senior Seven’s actual name?”

“I don’t know,” Doudou said. “After joining the group, everyone calls each other by their daoist names, who still calls others by their real names? The only exception to this is when you don’t have a daoist name like how it was for you at the beginning, causing everyone to call you by your real name. As for what happened after… You ended up having too many daoist names, and everyone felt very troubled regarding which of your daoist names to use, so they habitually called you by your real name.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

Everyone, I’m so sorry for having too many daoist names.

Doudou continued, “Moreover, unless they’re very close to you, cultivators generally don’t like to tell others their real names. After all, there are things like ‘witchcraft’ and ‘curses’. When you talk with others in the world of cultivation, it’s best to use your daoist name, just in case.”

Song Shuhang nodded silently.

Doudou added, “Also… The Spirit River Su Clan is strange. The geniuses in their family will abandon their real names after inheriting a ‘numerical’ daoist name. This abandonment seems to be a ritual. So, even if you ask Su Clan’s Seven what his real name is, he might not know it.”

Song Shuhang continued to nod silently. “Doudou, you know so much.”

In other words, Sixteen might also not have a real name? The Spirit River Su Clan’s rules are really strange.

“Of course.” Doudou held his head high. “Alright, let’s stop wasting time and go already. Oh, how are we going to head there?”

Song Shuhang suggested, “By immortal boat?”

Doudou waved his paw, and said, “Don’t. I drove your mecha immortal boat yesterday and was exhausted.”

Song Shuhang said, “Then should we head over by saber flying technique or by riding my Divine Lobster’s Chariot?”

Doudou excitedly said, “Your Divine Lobster’s Chariot can do. I wanted to try driving it before.”

❄️❄️❄️

After a while.

The Divine Lobster’s Chariot floated in the air, with a dazzling dragon and a shrimp pulling the chariot through the air.

Doudou sat like a human being as he held and shook the reins. He happily exclaimed, “Prawns, let’s go!”

“They aren’t prawns.” Song Shuhang crouched in the chariot, with the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber and Scarlet Heaven Sword on his knees.

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber kept telling Song Shuhang ‘I want more ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯’, and it didn’t want to go back for the time being.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword simply didn’t want to go back, and wanted to stay outside for a while—as long as the virtuous lamia didn’t swallow it, it would rather stay outside.

“Aren’t they all the same.” Doudou looked very happy.

“One is a shrimp, and the other is a dragon.” Song Shuhang defended his life-bound magical treasure—despite their appearance, they weren’t prawns but two different species.

Doudou said, “Don’t dwell on such trifling matters. As long as this dog is happy, it’s all good.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

The Divine Lobster’s Chariot quickly arrived at the H City.

Song Shuhang’s other life-bound magical treasure, the Tyrant Cuttlefish’s Twin Blades, was floating in the air.

After arriving at the area of the tribulation, Song Shuhang retrieved the twin blades, and rewarded them with a round of ‘Saber-Nurturing Technique’ before storing them away.

The Divine Lobster’s Chariot also returned.

Song Shuhang took Doudou, and floated steadily at a high point in the air. From this position, the fellow daoist transcending their tribulation wouldn’t notice them, and Doudou could avoid triggering his own heavenly tribulation.

This distance would allow them not to influence the fellow daoist. When it came to matters like transcending a tribulation, it was best for it not to be disturbed by external factors.

Under the premise of not knowing which fellow daoist was transcending their tribulation, Song Shuhang’s every move was filled with kindness.

Doudou shrank and squatted on Song Shuhang’s shoulders.

The two observed the tribulation lightning descend, and watched as the six pillars within the ‘tribulation-transcending formation’ blocked the waves of the heavenly tribulation.

On the ground, tribulation fire blazed. Steam emerged from the tribulation-transcending formation as the tribulation fire was neutralized.

From the ‘Fifth Stage heavenly tribulation’, a wave of highly poisonous tribulation water came down. Soon after, the statues on each of the six pillars rose up and transformed into a cloth, completely absorbing the poisonous water.

Dealing with attacks with the proper means, all in an orderly manner.

Doudou said, “This guy is strong, and his tribulation-transcending formation is very stable. If there aren’t any accidents, the first few waves of the heavenly tribulation shouldn’t be a problem for him.”

Song Shuhang sighed, and thought, This is the proper way to transcend a tribulation.

This was how a cultivator was supposed to transcend their tribulation.

They should set down a huge tribulation-transcending formation, find a good location, prepare various magical treasures, and then orderly fight against the heavenly tribulation.

The previous times he transcended his tribulation, he was very much unprepared. As such, he had to face the heavenly tribulation head-on, which was definitely not the proper way to proceed.

Doudou said, “However, with the heavenly tribulation having mutated, modern weapons will soon appear. I don’t know if he would be able to resist that.”

Doudou took this very seriously. After all, he would soon transcend the Fifth Stage heavenly tribulation himself. At this time, he had placed himself in the shoes of the other party, thinking and deducing how he should go about his own tribulation.

While they were talking, the tribulation had changed its form, and entered the “modernized tribulation” mode.

In the air, the tribulation condensed into the form of a ‘Barrett sniper rifle’ that was 10 times the size of the original version.

Song Shuhang remarked, “The heavenly tribulation is doing as it pleases…”

“Bang!”

The heavenly tribulation opened fire.

With the power focused on a single point, the defense formed by the six pillars was destroyed in a single breath.

Even the illusion formation that enveloped the entire tribulation area was broken in a short time.

However, the cultivator who was transcending the tribulation still had a lot of backups.

When the defense of the six pillars broke, a wall of bone shields floated beside him, blocking the attack of the heavenly tribulation.

At the same time, the defenses and illusion formation formed by the six pillars were quickly repaired with the help of spirit stones, as well as the power of evil qi, which were buried under the tribulation-transcending formation.

“Oh!” Song Shuhang’s and Doudou’s eyes lit up in the sky.

“Isn’t this Demon Monarch Anzhi, the guy who forced me to coolly fly in the sky?”

“Isn’t this the guy who accidentally bumped into me, and was then chased and bitten by yours truly for a good while?”
