As Song Shuhang’s voice faded, he reconnected to the ‘Dragon Network’.
The Dragon Network Assistant was working again. “Confirming the order, relying on the Dragon Network Authority to open the intermediary world ‘Saint Space’.”
[Intermediary world ‘Saint Space’ has been successfully opened.]
[Beep~ Failed to connect to the Inner World.]
[The exchange of primordial souls and physical bodies has failed.]
The commands to connect to the Inner World and switch out the primordial souls for physical bodies were ones that Song Shuhang had given to the Dragon Network Assistant before it had crashed. After it resumed operations, it re-executed the two commands it had been given.
However, due to the heavy suppression in the ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’, it couldn’t carry them out.
Fortunately, Song Shuhang was able to connect the Group Tribulation Transcension Space with the Eighth Stage ‘Saint Space’.
Thousands of ‘Dragon Network Lights’ scattered from the Dragon Network Assistant, engulfing the primordial soul of every member of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, as well as Doudou’s, Soft Feather’s, Song Shuhang’s, and Little Yinzhu’s bodies.
The spatial transfer had begun.
Everyone was slowly dragged into a colorful passage, moving from the ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’ to the ‘Saint Space’.
Because it was the first time this was being done, the whole process was relatively slow.
“Wait, little friend Shuhang. Where is this Saint Space you mentioned?” Venerable Yellow Mountain asked. “Now, I panic whenever I hear the words ‘XX Space’.”
Thrice Reckless Mad Saber speculated, “It’s not another Tribulation Transcension Space, is it?”
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator smiled, and said, “Thrice Reckless, do you think Shuhang is like you? We finally got out of one Tribulation Transcension Space. How could we go to another one to seek death?”
Song Shuhang embarrassedly said, “Ahem, the Saint Space is the ‘Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation’ space of the Black Dragon World.”
“…” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator.
I misjudged you, little friend Shuhang!
Song Shuhang explained, “However, seniors don’t need to worry. Since we have already survived the tribulation in the ‘Group Tribulation Transcension Space’, even if we enter the ‘Saint Space’, we don’t need to endure another tribulation there. We can go through the ‘Saint Space’ to the Black Dragon World. Then, we can return to the main world through the Black Dragon World.”
The Dragon Network Assistant opened its mouth, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Song Shuhang.
True Monarch White Crane softly asked, “Are you sure?”
“100% certain.” Song Shuhang nodded. “This is because I currently possess the highest authority in the Black Dragon World’s Dragon Network.”
“Then, Senior Song, when we leave the ‘Saint Space’, will we be able to show our divinity before others?” Soft Feather said joyfully.
Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “Unfortunately, the Black Dragon World does not have things like the ‘Profound Sage Speech’ or the ‘Divinity Show’.”
The Black Dragon World was ultimately different from the main world.
The Divinity Show and the Profound Sage Speech were unique to the ‘main world’. It was said that they were laws left by the first Wielder of the Will for the benefit of the practitioners of the universe.
Soft Feather disappointedly said, “That’s a pity. I thought that I would have the chance to show my divinity before others.”
“I feel that if there really was a ‘Divinity Show’, then it would be detrimental to us.” Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “The ‘Profound Sage Speech’ alone would end us. Remember, if you aren’t able to give a good speech, you will have to face the Eighth Stage inner demon tribulation. The benefits simply don’t outweigh the losses.”
“I guess you’re right.” Soft Feather blinked, but her little face was still filled with regret.
“Actually, if you’re worried about the Profound Sage Speech, I have several drafts with me that I can share with everyone.” Venerable Yellow Mountain squeezed his chin, and said, “After ascending to the Venerable Realm, I began to prepare for my future ‘Profound Sage Speech’. Time is limited, and it’s only through preparation that we can take the lead.”
“Senior Yellow Mountain, you’ve only just ascended to the Venerable Realm, yet you’re already preparing Profound Sage Speech Manuscripts? Are you planting flags for yourself? Setting up the flag for ‘I’ll definitely become a Profound Sage, so I’ll prepare manuscripts now’?” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said in surprise.
“Mute!” Venerable Yellow Mountain pointed his finger at Thrice Reckless.
“Senior, this is not the group cha—” While he was in the middle of his sentence, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber found that he had become unable to speak.
Even his ‘secret sound transmission’ ability had been sealed!
Has the authority of the group owner left the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ and entered reality?
Am I currently in reality? Or am I in the group chat?
When one’s muted in the group, they’re only muted in the group, and they can still message others privately. But now, getting muted even disabled my ability to use ‘secret sound transmission’ to talk to others privately. This is too much! Thrice Reckless Mad Saber stared at Venerable Yellow Mountain with unwillingness in his eyes.
“Stupid Thrice Reckless, Stupid Yellow Mountain has been preparing this ‘muting technique’ for a long time. Have you forgotten how he had tried this technique on me so many times? But some time ago, he was able to use this magical technique only through my collar. But now, he doesn’t need it anymore. Woof! Stupid Yellow Mountain, have you been researching this magical technique just to use it on me?” Doudou finally realized something.
“Mute.” Venerable Yellow Mountain pointed towards Doudou.
Doudou was also muted.
“Stupid Thrice Reckless and Doudou~ Senior Yellow Mountain will forever be Senior Yellow Mountain. As long as one has the authority, they can do whatever they please. It won’t be too late for us to decode this secret muting technique in the future and resist it,” Immortal Master Copper Trigram said—he currently looked like an irregular ball.
Fairy Lychee’s strength was equal to Copper Trigram’s, and both were in the True Monarch Realm. Therefore, she struggled when rubbing Copper Trigram’s primordial soul, even if Copper Trigram did not resist. Ultimately, his primordial soul turned into a big ball unlike Song Shuhang’s, which was much smaller.
“Mute.” Venerable Yellow Mountain pointed at Copper Trigram.
Today, it appeared there was a huge sale for the mute package, three in a row.
After three consecutive mutes, Venerable Yellow Mountain nodded in satisfaction.
Fairy Dongfang Snow crouched beside Immortal Master Copper Trigram, and curiously asked, “Immortal Master, how does it feel to be muted?”
“…” Copper Trigram.
I can’t speak at all now, and I can’t even transmit anything. How do you expect me to reply to you?
Fairy Dongfang Snow raised her hand, and said, “Senior Yellow Mountain, I kind of want to know how it feels to be muted. I’ve always felt that Great Master Profound Principle’s ‘silent meditation’ was very cool. Can you mute me too?”
Venerable Yellow Mountain felt very tired. “Actually, there’s a limit to the number of times I can use the ‘muting technique’ in a day.”
Yellow Mountain recalled when the Nine Provinces Number One Group had just been founded. Back then, when he added Fairy Dongfang Snow to the group, she was wonderful. She was a quiet and shy but knowledgeable fairy. Those who just met her would think that she was a scholarly fairy maiden.
At that time, the two Fairy Dongfangs in the group had completely different temperaments.
But a few years after joining the group, Fairy Dongfang Snow’s style had become increasingly naughty.
Dongfang Snow continued, “So, Senior, have you reached the limit on the number of times you can cast the technique today?”
Venerable Yellow Mountain said, “Yes, I’ve already hit the limit, so don’t be naughty and behave yourself.”
Fairy Dongfang Snow’s eyes lit up, and she clearly sang, “The fragrance of the blooming flower baskets~ Listen to this song of mine~”
Doudou, Thrice Reckless, and Immortal Master Copper Trigram desperately gave it their all to give Fairy Dongfang Snow a thumbs-up.
“Mute.” Venerable Yellow Mountain pointed at Dongfang Snow.
The long-lost ?Stupid Yellow Mountain’s Song? came to an abrupt end.
Fairy Dongfang Snow’s pretty eyes stared daggers at Venerable Yellow Mountain.
“By reading the facial expression on her face, what Fairy Dongfang Snow is trying to say should be: ‘I’m never going to believe Senior Yellow Mountain again. He’s a liar.’ That’s definitely what she’s trying to say. I can’t be mistaken.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed up his glasses, and then said, “Recently, I’ve been studying a book called ?How to Read a Person’s Mind Through Their Facial Expressions?, and I’ve made some progress.”
Venerable Yellow Mountain looked up at the sky.
Beside Song Shuhang, Northern River’s Loose Cultivator smiled slightly. “After getting through the tribulation, everyone is celebrating in their own way.”
It was a way to relax after the tribulation.
Su Clan’s Seven added, “It might also be that they believe that since they survived such a dangerous tribulation, they’ve become invincible, which then leads them to… well, being naughty and mischievous.”
“At least it looks like they’re happy,” True Monarch Eternal Fire said.
“This is hopeless,” Fairy Lychee concluded.
“Ahem.” Song Shuhang cleared his throat. “We’ll be arriving soon. Everyone, prepare for landing. We might directly fall from a high altitude in the Saint Space.”
I can’t let Mama Yellow Mountain’s heart become even more stifled.
??????
A few minutes later.
Inside the Black Dragon World’s ‘Saint Space’.
A group of figures suddenly fell from the sky.
“Eh? I can’t fly?”
“The air walking talent is ineffective here?”
“Even flying swords don’t work.”
The seniors of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ made attempts to fly in the air, but they all ended in failure.
Doudou’s wind-fire wheels, Soft Feather’s flying sword, and the Fifth Stage air walking ability all lost their effect at this moment.
“Don’t panic, it’s just the nature of this space. After we land, we’ll be able to exit this Saint Space,” Song Shuhang said with a smile on his face.
The smile on his face looked slightly weird, just as it’d been plastered on his face.
“Bam, bam, bam, bam~”
All of the members fell from a height of 1,000 meters like dumplings, smashing holes in the ground of the Saint Space.
“Eh? It really didn’t hurt.” Soft Feather patted her body, and jumped out of the hole she had created.
“So it was just a trivial scare?” The other seniors also got out of their holes.
When Song Shuhang fell, he fell on his stomach, and also smashed out a huge hole in the ground. He twitched slightly, and then he slowly sat up.
“It’s finally over.” He stretched his waist.
When he stretched his waist, his body vibrated constantly like how a phone would when there was a call.
At the side, Soft Feather curiously asked, “What is Senior Song doing?”
“Just stretching my waist.” Song Shuhang laughed and jumped out of the hole.
Soft Feather asked, “How are we going to leave?”
“Through an exit.” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, and pushed on the air. After he did so, a door appeared in the ‘Saint Space’.
The door was opened.
Doudou leaped happily, and went through the door first.
As soon as Doudou jumped out, the hearts of all those present suddenly thumped.
Then, they raised their heads together and looked towards the sky.
It was a familiar feeling…
Was there a new Profound Sage who had appeared, and was about to show their divinity?
Soft Feather said, “Could it be my father?”
“Is it merely a coincidence?” Venerable Yellow Mountain said. He had a bad feeling in his heart.
