Cultivation Chat Group (Web Novel)

Creating waves was the innate ability of flood dragons. Moreover, it wouldn't waste too much of their spiritual energy.

In the sea, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon could create waves with just a thought, and something akin to a mini-tsunami with a huge range with just a sentence.

"What an insidious fellow!" True Monarch Fallout ridiculed.

"Fellow Daoist Fallout, mind your words. This is called strategy. I'm just using the favorable terrain to my advantage!" True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon laughed.

Perhaps these waves would influence the fellow daoists behind only for an instant...

But that instant was enough to determine who was going to win and who was going to come in second!

He wanted to win this session of the hand-guided tractor competition!

Just as True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon was laughing complacently, a pleasing scream echoed in his ears.

Soon after, a familiar-looking figure wrapped in a sword light quickly dashed forward, overtaking True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon in the blink of an eye.

Which fellow daoist bumped into the lucky trap?

Very soon, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon noticed that the hand-guided tractor number 22 belonging to Spirit Butterfly Island's Soft Feather was wrapped inside the sword light.

Is it that girl again?

It's already her third time activating one of those lucky traps... moreover, she was the only one to activate them from the start of the competition up until now, right?

True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon was dumbfounded.

It wasn't only True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, True Monarch Fallout and Cave Lord Snow Wolf in the rear were also dumbfounded.

Soon after, the three of them raised their heads at the same time and pierced the clouds with their sight, staring directly at the main referee who was standing above the clouds, Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

Everyone knew that Venerable Spirit really doted on his beloved daughter... was it possible that he secretly helped her?

After all, she alone activated three 'lucky traps'... and it almost felt as though they exclusively belonged to her.

"Don't look at me!" Venerable Spirit Butterfly had keen senses. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "The lucky sword lights traps were arranged by Fellow Daoist White! I don't even know where he placed them!"

In other words, Soft Feather was just incredibly lucky!

"Even those with power have to fear those with heaven-defying luck!" True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon heaved a sigh and roared immediately after. "Waves, surge!"

The water started to surge once more. But this time, the waves didn't head toward the other fellow daoists. Instead, they pushed forward True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, increasing the speed of the hand-guided tractor by a notch.

❄️❄️❄️

As the seniors reached the seashore, they activated their water-proof formations and dashed on the surface of the sea, entering the most interesting section of the competition.

After they entered the sea section, the number of traps also started to increase.

As soon as they dashed on the surface of the sea, naval mines, torpedoes, and so on came rushing forward from the depths of the sea, exploding and making things difficult for the contestants.

Those traps that made one spin in place also appeared in large quantities. Song Shuhang finally lost the monopoly on these traps.

Moreover, several other seniors obtained the 'spirit butterfly 60x acceleration' bonus too.

The forefront contestants saw that there were zones on the sea where countless bolts of lightning were raining down and thunder was exploding… to get past those zones, one needed to rely on their driving skills.

Whether they were godly or trash drivers... it would be clear if they managed to pass through that lightning and thunder zone.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang also arrived at the seashore.

Before entering the sea, he asked, "Is the water-proof formation active?"

The Super Phoenix Slayer Battle Armor System replied, Yes.

"Such being the case, let's go!" Song Shuhang took a deep breath and operated the hand-guided tractor, preparing to rush toward the sea and welcome the heavy rain and strong gale!

The hand-guided tractor accelerated and rushed into the sea with rumbling sounds, elegantly running on the surface of the sea for around a hundred meters.

Eh?

Wait, what…?

There seems to be something amiss...?

Why do I feel that my line of sight is getting lower and lower…?

Is the hand-guided tractor sinking?

Since Song Shuhang still felt as though he was driving on flat ground, the water-proof formation should be active. Nonetheless, the hand-guided tractor was still sinking!

"Is the water-proof formation active?" Song Shuhang asked once more.

At the same time, he braked and stopped the tractor.

Due to that three seconds delay, he managed to brake only three seconds later, and with the speed of the tractor, he stopped only after traveling a large distance.

The Super Phoenix Slayer Battle Armor System replied, Yes.

"In that case… why is the tractor sinking?!" Song Shuhang bellowed.

As he was speaking, only his head was still above the surface of the water. Luckily, this was Young Master Phoenix Slayer's body. Even if he were not to breathe for a whole day, it wouldn't have any effect on his body.

Moreover, a circular layer of defense appeared around the tractor on its own, wrapping the whole hand-guided tractor within and stopping the water from entering inside.

The self-examining system is running… please wait...

Warning, problems detected. The water-proof formation has been seriously damaged and is currently covering only 20% of the body of the vehicle.

In other words, the water-proof formation was now damaged, and although it was still 'working', it had lost most of its functionality. This was the reason the tractor was still sinking even though Song Shuhang felt as though he was still driving on land.

In the meantime, the whole hand-guided tractor got wrapped by the defensive layer and sunk into the water.

❄️❄️❄️

As the hand-guided tractor was sinking, the 'Phoenix Slayer System' scanned the damaged parts of the water-proof formation and transmitted the pictures to Song Shuhang. The chassis of the hand-guided tractor was damaged.

Song Shuhang didn't remember when that place got damaged. Perhaps it was when Fairy Dongfang drove in the wrong direction and knocked down his tractor, or perhaps it was affected when the hand-guided tractors of Sword Monarch Blue Sky and True Monarch White Crane fell apart and exploded...

Anyway, his water-proof formation was currently damaged.

"F*ck..." Song Shuhang blurted out.

What could he do now? Should he rush forward while still at the bottom of the sea?

But he couldn't afford to do that, either. Because staying at the bottom of the sea would continuously consume the energy of the barrier of the tractor.

And once the energy of the barrier was completely exhausted, the defensive layer would disappear... and the hand-guided tractor would get crushed by the pressure of the water.

"Is it possible to repair it?" Song Shuhang asked.

The Super Phoenix Slayer Battle Armor System replied, Yes.

"In that case, quickly repair it!" Song Shuhang shouted.

...But shouldn't it be Master Phoenix Slayer's duty to fix it?

"..." Song Shuhang.

F*ck, do you think I would be this worried if I knew how to fix this water-proof formation?!

What should I do? What should I do?

❄️❄️❄️

Suddenly, Song Shuhang's eyes lit up and he said, "Right, can you go online?"

Yes.

"Quickly log me into the Nine Provinces Number One Group!" Song Shuhang shouted.

Although several seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were now participating in the hand-guided tractor competition, a lot were still in their dwellings.

If some of them were online, it was better to ask them how to salvage the situation. But if even the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were unable to solve the problem, Song Shuhang would have no other choice but to abandon the tractor and flee.

Please wait… connecting to the Internet...

Very soon, the login window of the messaging program appeared on the screen.

Song Shuhang wanted to log in with his account, but the system automatically filled in Young Master Phoenix Slayer's info.

Alright, it wasn't really important whose account he was using.

Song Shuhang fiddled with the window of the program a bit and sent the message.

❄️❄️❄️

In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.

At this time, the group chat was very lively. Many of the seniors that weren't participating in the race were chatting about what was happening in the competition.

Moreover, most of them were seniors that Song Shuhang hadn't usually seen in the group.

Fairy Firefly: "Hahaha, True Monarch White Crane's tractor exploded! This competition is very cool… had I known earlier, I would have participated too."

Dongfang Snow: "I really liked the 'Song of the Stupid Yellow Mountain' that Doudou sang earlier! It was really good~"

[System Notification: Dongfang Snow was muted by the founder of the group, True Monarch Yellow Mountain, for 1 day.]

True Monarch Yellow Mountain was secretly lurking around, scary!

The other fellow daoists immediately changed the topic of conversation...

Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman: "Hehe, I'm waiting for them at the finishing line. Moreover, I helped Senior White and Senior Spirit Butterfly arrange a large talisman formation to welcome all the fellow daoists."

Island Master Tian Tiankong: "I love seeing that baboon court death. It was a pity that Dharma King Creation and Northern River's Loose Cultivator didn't finish it off properly earlier."

Vice-Island Master Tian Tianwei: "Elder Brother, that's just Senior Brother Thrice Reckless Mad Saber! I won't pay attention to you anymore, hmph!"

Island Master Tian Sky was speechless. Of course I know that the baboon is Thrice Reckless! That's why I like him seeing court death!

"Oh my... I'm dying from laughing! Just now, that stupid Phoenix Slayer sunk into the sea soon after he started driving on its surface! Ahahaha, he actually sunk to the bottom of the sea! Ah… even my belly is hurting! ???" Treasure Forging Heavenly Mansion's Yang Xian sent several laughing emojis.

At this time Fairy Lychee suddenly popped out and said: "In times like these, you should send this emote, :senior_white_smiling_face:."

An awkward silence fell on the group chat.

They all knew that the Senior White's expression package was the main reason that meteor shower came into existence… but Fairy Lychee was still using Venerable White's emotes as though nothing happened!

After a short moment, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman broke the silent: "Ahem…"

Then, he wrote: "Anyway, True Monarch Lychee, I heard that you delivered Iron Trigram to Medicine Master place, right?"

"Yes, I just arrived there and Medicine Master is currently treating Iron Trigram. Hehehe…" Fairy Lychee's mood was quite good.

Because now that Iron Trigram was here, that shady fortune teller would also have to make a trip to this place!

But right at this time, Song Shuhang successfully got online.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "Seniors! I need your help! My hand-guided tractor got flooded, what should I do now? I'm anxiously waiting for replies!"

"Wahaha! Phoenix Slayer, we were watching the live broadcast earlier and saw that your vehicle sunk to the bottom of the sea. What happened exactly? Ahaha…?" Treasure Forging Heavenly Mansion's Yang Xian wrote.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "I don't have the time to explain in detail! In short, my water-proof formation is damaged and I sunk to the bottom of the sea! Seniors, how can I solve this situation!"

"Phoenix Slayer seems very courteous today. He is unexpectedly calling everyone 'senior'. Anyway, if your water-proof formation is ruined, just repair it? After all, it's merely a water-proof formation, it should just take you a few seconds to fix it ?," Fairy Lychee said.

Young Master Phoenix Slayer: "The problem is that I can't repair it...! Aren't there any other means?"
