In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Venerable Song had left a message.
â@Yellow Mountain, Iâm feeling so tired, and I really want to retire. Yellow Mountain and all the seniors in the group, thereâs some not-so-great news, and I need to share it with everyone. For the bad news, I bear some of the responsibility.â
Young Master Phoenix Slayer was the first to respond. âDonât say a word. Keep that bad news locked up inside you. Thereâs been way too much negativity lately. I could use some good news.â
Song Shuhang was momentarily at a loss for words.
âHas Phoenix Slayer been in a bad mood lately? Whatâs been going on? Share it with everyone. Letâs have a good laugh,â Doudou chimed in cheerfully. He even added a cute dog head emoji that was a caricature of himself.
Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da replied with an [Angry Dog Head Scratching Upstairs emoji] â âAh, this should be fun!â
Last time, Silly Doudou had threatened to destroy Guo Daâs dog head building, and Guo Da hadnât forgotten. He had been lurking in the group ever since and was patiently awaiting the day Doudou sent a dog head emoji.
Doudou was left speechless.
âDoudou, Guo Da, and Phoenix Slayer, letâs not mess around. Shuhang, go ahead and share whatever news you have. Is this bad news related to you?â Northern Riverâs Loose Cultivator inquired.
Medicine Master also pitched in. âDonât hesitate to share. Iâve already distributed liver and kidney protection pills to all fellow Daoists in the group. Feel free to take them.â
It wasnât convenient for Medicine Master to use voice chat at the moment, and everyone understood why.
âAlright, here it is⊠The world, or more precisely, Earth, is on the brink of entering a phase of collapse,â Song Shuhang typed quickly.
He needed to convey the gravity of the situation to get the seniorsâ attention, so he began with the worst-case scenario.
âWhat?â Fairy Dongfang Six exclaimed. âIs it like the 2012 apocalypse?â
âIf the world is going to end, Fairy Dongfang Six must have something to do with it. You probably offended Earth somehow,â Thrice Reckless Mad Saber commented.
Fairy Dongfang Six retorted with âShuhang already said itâs his fault, okay?â
[System Notification: Fairy Dongfang Six and Thrice Reckless Mad Saber have been muted by the group owner âYellow Mountain is so tired that he wants to retireâ for 1 minute.]
Senior Yellow Mountain silently retrieved the liver and kidney protection pills from Medicine Master and fed them to Doudou. Doudou had been taking various medications lately and it caused him stomach discomfort. This way, Senior Yellow Mountain could take the medicine without any trouble as long as he heard the pills being chewed.
Doudou reluctantly chewed on the pill. His dog face was filled with despair.
Then, Venerable Yellow Mountain typed in the group. âPlease continue, Shuhang.â
âSeniors, you must be aware of the recent changes in the âHeaven,â right? Well, a part of the world, which no one is aware of, has already begun to collapse. And when this world collapses, it will give birth to a monster related to the past âheavens.â Now, the monster symbolizing the worldâs collapse has appeared near the main world, Earth. The worst-case scenario is that Earth might plunge into an era of collapse.â Song Shuhang got straight to the point and revealed everything he knew.
Once he finished typing, the Nine Provinces Number One Group fell into a solemn silence.
After a lengthy pause without any responses, Song Shuhang began to wonder if heâd lost his connection.
âI thought you were talking about fireworks, but you brought out a nuclear bomb,â Northern Riverâs Loose Cultivator remarked.
Song Shuhang responded, âBut this information is crucial, and I had to inform all of you.â
Fairy Lychee was as attentive as ever. She asked, âHow are you involved in this? What did you do?â
âDonât worryâŠâ True Monarch White Crane interjected, âHow powerful is that monster? Can I take it?â
âI can answer both Fairy Lychee and Senior White Crane at once. In terms of the monsterâs strength, I used up all my resources during our last encounter and even sacrificed my beast fur just to barely escape from it,â Song Shuhang replied. After all, it was a Heavenly Dao Molt. Anything related to the Heavenly Dao should be at least at the Immortal level.
âYou killed it?â Doudou asked.
âNo, I barely escaped its clutches⊠However, the next step for the monster is to come to Earth,â Song Shuhang explained. There was a reason behind it.
âWhereâs Senior White?â Young Master Phoenix Slayer inquired.
âIâm here. Iâve been watching the screen. Additionally, I bear some responsibility for this matter. Iâm the one who buried Shuhang in the small black layer of the âWielder of the Willâ and went into seclusion.â
âSenior White, donât blame yourself. No matter how you look at it, itâs because Song Shuhang isnât handsome enough that he attracted the monster,â True Monarch White Crane hastily remarked.
Song Shuhang was left speechless.
âShuhang, when is that monster going to descend?â Ah Bai asked again.
âIt appeared outside the main world this afternoon. However, it seems to be constrained and currently unable to move freely. Itâs hard to predict when it will officially descend,â Song Shuhang replied.
âIn that case, donât panic. Iâll figure out a way to test this monster and gather intelligence on the enemy. But as a precaution, everyone should be prepared to transfer their assets,â Senior White added.
With his mastery over spatial power, Senior White was the best candidate for probing the situation. Furthermore, he didnât need to send his main body for this task; a simple reconnaissance was enough.
With Senior White taking the lead, most members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group felt a sense of relief.
While thinking of spatial power, Senior White recalled something else.
âRight, Shuhang, I have a treasure here. Itâs a golden formation disk. Iâve already transferred it to your Inner World. Itâs advisable to keep it with you at all times,â Senior White mentioned.
Senior White had acquired a set of spatial secret techniques called âWorld Refining Holy Apeâ from the Almighty Merchant. After mastering these techniques, he had left behind this formation disk.
This formation disk was also a valuable treasure. When refined, carrying it with you daily offered a chance to awaken a minor spatial talent.
Song Shuhangâs eyes lit up upon hearing this. A treasure, gold, day and night presenceâthis sounded like an amulet!
Perhaps Senior White had noticed that heâd been experiencing some bad luck lately and had created a lucky charm for him?
âThank you, Senior White,â Song Shuhang said as he retrieved the golden formation disk from his Inner World.
Huh? It wasnât an amulet, but a magical tool?
Song Shuhang pondered for a moment, then placed the formation disk inside his original dantian and used the power of the Spiritual Lake to nourish it.
Under normal circumstances, when a Sixth Stage cultivator advanced to the Seventh Stage, a lotus flower would bloom on their spiritual lake and give birth to a Nascent Soul. The spiritual lake would vanish.
However, due to Song Shuhangâs life-bound whale core being resurrected by the âDragon Talisman,â his Nascent Soul and Golden Core coexisted and preserved the spiritual lake. Moreover, nourishing magical tools with a seventh-grade spiritual lake produced even more remarkable results.
