2143 It finally looks like a proper golden core
This was another difference between Song Shuhang’s nascent souls and the nascent souls of ordinary cultivators—Shuhang’s nascent souls had umbilical cords, the kind that was used to absorb nutrients from the mother’s body.
While it was normal for a baby to have an umbilical cord, whatever was happening in Song Shuhang’s belly seemed to be a scene straight out of a thriller movie.
The tentacle-like umbilical cords moved along the pathways that led from the small dantians to the original dantian.
Pavilion Master Chu froze.
Song Shuhang, this boy, really just wants to slap me in the face, doesn’t he?
She would remember this grudge.
When Song Shuhang woke up, she would exact her vengeance and make him pay for giving her the nicknames “Hair Sword” and “Beautiful Forehead.”
She would let Song Shuhang experience death by suffocation and teach him how to respect his seniors!
❄️❄️❄️
“Senior Chu, do women go through similar steps when giving birth?” the black-skinned Soft Feather asked while glancing sideways at the nascent souls.
Pavilion Master Chu replied, “I don’t know. I’ve never given birth.”
The black-skinned Soft Feather nodded silently. As she thought, Senior Chu hadn’t ever had a daoist partner. She noted this down, feeling that it might come in handy in the future for heart-rending purposes.
“The umbilical cords are heading to his original dantian,” said Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet, feeling that this scene was really odd.
Little friend Song is too special. He is not taking the standard path at all.
Inside Song Shuhang’s original dantian, the fat whale, which had been pretty irascible until a moment ago, seemed to have calmed down considerably.
It floated on the surface of the spirit lake while the big dumpling hovered above its head aimlessly.
Then, like a wig, it landed on the whale’s head, blocking its blowhole.
The fat whale was angered again.
It leaped high up and shook its head, sending the dumpling flying away. Then, it used its tail and hit it eighteen times in a row.
After slapping the dumpling around, the fat whale fell back into the lake.
The big dumpling floated about and landed on its head again. During the process, it adjusted its position, deliberately blocking the blowhole of the fat whale.
This same scene took place several times.
Finally, the fat whale could no longer be bothered to continue. It floated on the lake’s surface and let the big dumpling build a nest on top of its head. It didn’t need to use its blowhole, so it wasn’t that much of a problem.
Just as the fat whale admitted defeat, the seven umbilical cords arrived in the original dantian.
Unlike Song Shuhang’s lotus roots, these seven umbilical cords really reminded one of tentacles.
When the umbilical cords spotted the fat whale, they all rushed over with joy, just like children seeing their mother.
The fat whale was taken aback after seeing the umbilical cords. Then, it lost its temper again.
It leaped fiercely and slapped them with its tail.
But when it did so, its tail became and the umbilical cords fused together.
The scene looked quite amusing, with the fat whale now having seven umbilical cords extending from its tail.
The virtuous lamia recited a poem with a tone of despair, “When the sun goes down, the heartbroken man is at the horizon~”
This tone of despair perfectly encapsulated the mood of the fat whale.
“What is going on?” Pavilion Master Chu’s hair turned back, staring at the scene in Song Shuhang’s transparent belly.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet speculated, “Could it be that the seven little nascent souls don’t have enough energy and need to absorb more nutrients from the original dantian?”
“No, their energy should be enough.” Pavilion Master Chu’s hair swayed from side to side.
Song Shuhang’s nascent souls had enough energy thanks to Demon Emperor Hezhi’s gift. Pavilion Master Chu could sense that these seven nascent souls could break out of their shells at any time, allowing Song Shuhang to step into the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm.
However, they did not do so.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet guessed, “If it’s not to extract energy from the original dantian, could they be trying to feed energy back to the main golden core?”
“Fairy @#%×, what do you think?” Pavilion Master Chu looked at the virtuous lamia.
The virtuous lamia reached into Song Shuhang’s dantian, gently touching the seven small umbilical cords and nodding.
Pure energy was being transferred to the fat whale golden core from the seven nascent souls
Song Shuhang’s golden core started to expand as if someone was blowing air into it.
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet said, “If Shuhang’s golden core is the same as a patternless golden core, it should melt and sink to the bottom of the lake. Afterwards, it should turn into a seed, produce a lotus flower, and birth a nascent soul.”
At present, it seemed that Song Shuhang’s fat whale golden core had many similarities with a patternless golden core, so was it also going to plunge into the lake and produce a lotus flower?
The black-skinned Soft Feather said, “If this continues, Senior Song will have to transcend his tribulation soon. Not only are his little dantians triggering the heavenly tribulation, but his original golden core is doing so as well.”
“Correct.” Pavilion Master Chu’s hair nodded.
The black-skinned Soft Feather rested her chin on her palm and looked at Song Shuhang.
It hasn’t even been that long, yet it’s time for him to transcend his tribulation again…
The gap in strength between her main body and Shuhang was going to increase once again.
“It feels like Senior Song transcended his tribulation just yesterday,” said the black-skinned Soft Feather emotionally. After mentioning the heavenly tribulation, she remembered the Braised Heavenly Tribulation. “The Braised Heavenly Tribulation tasted so good. I miss its texture and taste.”
Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet was puzzled.
Braised Heavenly Tribulation?
During the time I was carrying out my mission in Garre Holy Mountain, just what exactly happened in the outside world?
Pavilion Master Chu said suddenly, “Here it comes.”
In Song Shuhang’s original dantian, the fat whale was looking more and more like a golden core.
It inflated until it started looking like a round ball.
This was what a golden core should look like. If wasn’t round, then was it even a golden core?
The fat whale soon reached its limit. If it was inflated any further, it would explode.
After reaching its limit, the fat whale underwent a mutation.
A huge black lotus bloomed under its belly
“It didn’t turn into a seed,” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet said.
It seems that this golden core is different from a patternless golden core.
The black-skinned Soft Feather said, “Why does it remind me of Senior Song’s ‘lotus blooming steps’ ability?”
The black lotus propped up the fat whale.
At the same time, the Star Road on the fat whale’s body lit up.
The silhouettes of the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group appeared in quick succession. Soon after followed the figures of the seniors that had a close relationship with Song Shuhang.
The road felt like it was coming alive.
“What is this? A golden core composition?” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet was taken aback.
It did not know if it was an illusion, but it could sense the aura of a “path” coming from the Star Road.
