As he thought about this, the rest of the blood that was rising up his mouth shrank back.
The previous incident when Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman and little friend Shuhang showed their divinity together was a freak accident. Such an event couldn’t happen again. Even when looking at the many years of history of the world of cultivation, what had happened to Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman and little friend Shuhang was unprecedented.
Scholar Drunken XXX said, “This Pekingese should be a senior who has hidden from the world, right?”
And as to why this Senior Pekingese had not shown themself in their human form, well, that was very normal. The show of divinity was an event wherein one brought glory to one’s race, and thus it made complete sense that they had appeared in their true form.
At this time, the large Pekingese entered the stage of ‘Condensing the Sage Seal’.
The camera of the ‘Divinity Show’ first showed everyone a detailed 360-degree capture of the monster Pekingese’s body. Afterward, the camera zoomed out to give a full-body shot. At the same time, there was a kind of energy that appeared to be condensing in the air.
“This Tribulation Transcension Space is rather monotonous.” Scholar Drunken XXX pinched his chin. Judging from the scene of the ‘Divinity Show’, the Pekingese’s Tribulation Transcension Space was a pure white space without the slightest discoloration.
“Boom~”
In the air, the condensed energy exploded, and turned into a lifelike black dragon projection.
The practitioners of the universe were all dumbfounded.
Was there always such a part to the show of divinity?
During the millennium before the Seventh Sage in 1,000 years had shown his divinity, there had never been such phenomena. Could it be that this eighth Sage in 1,000 years was different?
❄️❄️❄️
Doudou turned his head and stared at the black dragon projection with a dazed expression.
He was still quite confused about his surrounding environment.
The black dragon projection unfolded its wings, giving people a feeling that it was covering the sky and earth. Then, the black dragon leaned over and descended onto Doudou’s body.
The black dragon projection disappeared, and a pair of black dragon wings popped out behind Doudou.
“…” Doudou.
He tried flapping the wings, and the black dragon wings really did flap according to his will. It was as if they really were a part of his body.
What is this? A heaven-sent pair of wings? Or could there be some ancient bloodline that awakened in my body? What use are these? Doudou silently said in his mind.
Just as he thought this, the pair of black dragon wings fell from his body. Then, the dragon wings rotated, condensed into a bunch of light, and remained floating beside Doudou.
In the light, there was a string of runes.
The runes were in the language of the ‘Black Dragon World’, but Doudou had not grasped this language.
As if to accommodate Doudou, two Chinese characters appeared beside the string of runes—[Doudou].
Doudou understood these two characters ‘dou’ and ‘dou’—they spelled out his name.
As he thought of this, the event ‘Confirming the Daoist Name’ was completed.
The light condensed and compressed into a black ‘Dragon Seal’ with two sets of characters engraved on it. On the left was Doudou in Chinese, and on the right was the ‘Black Dragon World Language’ version.
The Dragon Seal was formed.
A bright light was released from the Dragon Seal, encompassing Doudou, and making him appear as dazzling as a small sun.
At that instant, Doudou finally realized the situation he was in—this was a Divinity Show!
Song Shuhang, you cheated me. Didn’t you say that there wasn’t going to be a ‘Divinity Show’? Didn’t you say that the gate was the way home? Then what is the meaning of this Divinity Show that I jumped into? Doudou felt anxiety build up in his heart.
He wasn’t a newbie to the world of cultivation, as he was from a knowledgeable family. He knew what came after the Divinity Show.
After the Divinity Show, there was a Profound Sage Speech waiting for him!
What am I supposed to do?
Am I going to die?
❄️❄️❄️
In the end, the blood that had shrunk back into Scholar Drunken XXX’s throat still sprayed out.
All of the practitioners of the universe and the Black Dragon World had the Sage Name of this monster dog engraved in their minds.
The Chinese Sage Name ‘Doudou’, and Black Dragon World Sage Name ‘Lasilasi’.
The eighth Sage in 1,000 years.
Though this eighth Sage did seem to be slightly strange… particularly with the Sage Seal they condensed being rather strange.
Nevertheless, the steps to which they showed their divinity and condensed their Sage Seal seemed to be right.
And those were enough to consolidate his status as the eighth Sage in 1,000 years.
The Ancient Sage Doudou, a.k.a. ‘Ancient Sage Lasilasi’.
But then, at this time, some of the more observant practitioners of the universe noticed a particular detail.
The Sage Name of the eighth Sage in 1,000 years did not begin with ‘Profound Sage’, but rather ‘Ancient Sage’.
“No wonder nobody replied to me all that time, so it was because all of you went to show you divinity… yet you didn’t think to bring me along?” Scholar Drunken XXX felt as if his will was about to collapse.
In the entire Nine Provinces Number One Group, he was the person who needed the ‘Divinity Show’ the most!
❄️❄️❄️
The ‘Dragon Seal’ turned into a small sun, covering Doudou, and setting off his majesty.
However, Doudou was feeling very anxious now.
In his mind, the prompt informing him of the ‘Ancient Sage Speech’ began to appear.
Ancient Sage Speech? Isn’t it supposed to be the Profound Sage Speech? Doudou felt a sense of confusion, but he didn’t dwell on it too much.
Regardless of what kind of Sage Speech it was, it was still a speech in the end.
If he delivered a good speech, then those of the universe would praise him, and he would be rewarded. But if he wasn’t able to deliver a good speech, and left those from the universe dissatisfied, he wouldn’t be able to receive much ‘light of virtue’, and would then be reduced to ashes during the inner demon tribulation.
Is there anyone who can help me?
No matter who helps me, I pledge to devote my life to you! Doudou felt like he was about to go mad.
[Doudou, Doudou, can you hear me? ] At this time, Song Shuhang’s voice rang in Doudou’s mind. He was contacting Doudou through the ‘Dragon Network Assistant’.
[I can, I can!] Doudou quickly replied in his mind.
Song Shuhang said, [Something went wrong. I will be passing a manuscript to you. Receive it and go through with delivering the speech first. In addition, when you’re done with the speech, and when you’re leaving the ‘Divinity Show Space’, leave that manuscript there. We’re going to conduct an experiment.]
[No problem!] Doudou almost cried out.
Song Shuhang’s aid came too timely.
❄️❄️❄️
Under the covert operation led by Song Shuhang, before Doudou’s ‘Ancient Sage Speech’ session officially began, a beast skin scroll quietly fell in front of it.
Doudou curiously asked, [How do I use this?]
Song Shuhang said, [In a while, when the speech begins, you just need to assume the image of a peerless expert. Afterward, use your paw to touch the manuscript, and it will automatically select the script that is the most suitable for you to deliver. At that time, you only need to complete the speech.]
Doudou let out a breath of relief.
It was time for the ‘Ancient Sage Speech’ to begin.
Doudou maintained a squatting posture, while the ‘Dragon Seal’ continued to float behind it.
I need to have the temperament of an expert. Right now, I’m not Doudou, but an Eighth Stage Monster Sage. Doudou attempted to hypnotize himself.
Simply imitating the temperament of an expert wasn’t that difficult.
He also thought of some pompous lines in his mind.
While his mind was occupied with this, Doudou suddenly sensed billions of eyes falling on his body. These were the eyes of the practitioners in the main world and the Black Dragon World, all staring at him.
Doudou suddenly became nervous.
And so, the speech began.
Doudou opened hiss mouth. “Woof~ Woof!”
Not good, I was too nervous and forgot the lines!
“???” The practitioners of the universe.
“…” Scholar Drunken XXX.
“…” Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue.
“…” Song Shuhang.
