Chapter 1172: Sage Name, don’t bring me down with you!
Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Senior White appeared on the screen once again, and when he appeared, the previously deflating ‘Senior White’ disappeared.
It appeared that the clone technique had been canceled.
Afterward, he stretched out his hands and brushed his clothes. A stream of light flowed on his white clothes, and the clothes returned to their original state after a moment.
This set of white clothes not only had a strong defensive ability, but also had the ability to repair itself. Other than that, it could also transform itself into various other appearances according to Senior White’s thoughts.
Song Shuhang had particularly been envious of this daoist robe ever since he had met Senior White.
He had hoped to get his hands on a similar robe in the future. It was a pity that things didn’t always go as one wished… His current robe was a black iron G.o.d armor, and its style was crooked.
After the clothes finished repairing itself, Senior White reached out and picked up Song Shuhang’s arm. Since I’ve already finished transcending the tribulation, it should almost be time to go out and have dinner. However, a while ago I told little friend Shuhang that I would finish transcending the tribulation some time at night. I wonder if he has already prepared the food…
After that, while in the spotlight, he brought out a pen and wrote on the blank piece of paper on Song Shuhang’s left hand.
[I’m done transcending my tribulation, when are we—] When he was halfway through writing his message, his pen had run out of ink.
Senior White shook his pen repeatedly, but even after doing so, he still couldn’t write a word for a long time.
Such an event, when it came to the lucky Senior White, was simply an incredible event.
After thinking for a bit, Senior White extended his hand and threw the pen away. Afterwards, he wrote on Song Shuhang’s palm instead. “Shuhang, I’m done transcending my tribulation, when are we going to have dinner? Have you prepared the food?”
Song Shuhang: “…”
He felt an itchy sensation on his hand while at the same time feeling quite uncomfortable.
This scene was seen by all the pract.i.tioners in the universe through the screen of the divinity show. Although they could not really see what Senior White was writing due to the angle… this only made it seem even worse.
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
A deathly silence pervaded the chat room.
After a while, Fairy Lychee asked, “＠Tyrannical Saber Song One, does Senior White not know that he’s already in the state of ‘showing his divinity’?”
Tyrannical Saber Song One: “? I don’t know, either.”
Furthermore, with it being during the live broadcast of the ‘show of divinity’, he did not dare reply to Senior White, either. If he did so, he would be revealing the secret that he could connect into the ‘Heavenly Tribulation Realm’.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said, “If a lot of people have already recognized that that hand is little friend Song Shuhang’s hand, he’s simply done for.”
Young Master Phoenix Slayer: “A lot of people should have already realized it. Moreover, as long as some people see it, with the speed things spread on the Internet, everyone should already know that that’s little friend Song Shuhang’s hand.”
Frice Reckless Mad Saber said, “A gun in the open is easy to avoid, while an arrow in the dark is hard to guard against. People who are driven by jealousy are capable of doing anything—one such example is White Crane. It is very possible that it might drug little friend Shuhang and do bad things to him.”
True Monarch White Crane was furious, and said, “Thrice Reckless, you are looking for death!!” This idiot, he just said everything aloud. How am I supposed to secretly drug him now? Such a pig teammate.
Tyrant Flood Dragon wants to father a football team: “Underwater cemeteries, 50% off. An exquisite cemetery that comes with free and considerate service. It’s better to buy in large quant.i.ties! If you buy three, you get an extra one, and if we’re familiar with each other, I’ll even give you a better discount.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Weren’t underwater cemeteries Yu Jiaojiao’s business? Since when did True Monarch Flood Dragon start working in this trade as well? Could he be trying to take market shares away from his daughter?
❄️❄️❄️
At this time, Senior White suddenly realized something.
Senior White murmured, “Wait a minute, could I already be showing my divinity?”
Afterward, under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, he aptly stored Song Shuhang’s left arm back into the crystal box and put it away.
Senior White looked towards the sky, and loudly said, “The next thing should be… condensing my Sage Seal, right?”
As he said this, a string of runes condensed in the skies and descended beside him.
This was the second step of the show of divinity—the condensing of one’s Sage Seal!
❄️❄️❄️
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said, “Venerable White’s Sage Name should be his daoist name, ‘White’, right?”
Dharma King Creation: “It should be. Senior White has always only had this single word for his daoist name. Also, from today onwards, we will have to change how we address him. It is no longer Venerable White, but rather Sage Monarch White, or simply Sage White.”
At this time, Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da said, “Oh, actually, besides the ‘White’ daoist name, Senior White has another daoist name. It’s just that you guys have always paid no heed to it.”
This time, when he showed up, he had surprisingly not sent the dog head picture.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator doubtfully said, “Senior White has another daoist name? Why do I seem not to have any impression of it?”
After all, he was one of the more well-informed within the group.
“Don’t forget that Senior White’s ID has the name ‘Song Bai’ on it,” Sun Splitting Halberd Guo Da continued. “As such, when it comes to the Sage Name, is it possible that something like ‘Sage Monarch Song Bai’ might appear?”
“F*ck!” True Monarch White Crane was infuriated, and said, “Surnamed Song, you’re dead meat! Today, I shall let you experience the power of a White Crane’s divine claws.”
Song Shuhang: “How’s it my fault again? The ID was created by the Senior Snow Wolf! @Cave Lord Snow Wolf, this isn’t my fault.”
Cave Lord Snow Wolf: “It’s because the word ‘White’ alone is not enough to get an ID. Furthermore, it was little friend Song Shuhang this time who welcomed Senior White, so I just casually gave Senior White the surname Song. I can’t be blamed for this, right?”
Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, “If, and I’m saying if… Senior White really has the option of choosing to have the Sage Name ‘Song Bai’, then I think that little friend Song Shuhang will probably last no longer than three episodes.”
Tyrant Flood Dragon wants to father a football team: “So, little friend Shuhang, I have underwater cemeteries, 50% off. An exquisite cemetery that comes with free and considerate service. It’s better to buy in large quant.i.ties! If you buy three, you get an extra one, and acquaintances get discounts.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
True Monarch Song Bai, Profound Sage Song Bai…
With Senior White’s personality, he couldn’t possibly choose such a daoist name, right?
❄️❄️❄️
On the screen of the divinity show.
The runes around Senior White had finally formed.
There was a rune in the script of the ancient era, and another one in Chinese.
Fortunately, nothing like ‘Song Bai’ appeared, and both runes were single characters of ‘White’.
Senior White reached out to the rune in Chinese, and chose this character to be his ‘Sage Seal’.
Seeing this, Song Shuhang finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Bzzz~”
In the sky, the Sage Seal had completely formed.
It was a simple and beautiful Sage Seal that was divided into two rows. There were two characters—one used the ‘script of the ancient era’, and the other used ‘modern Chinese’, with which Senior White’s Sage Name had been written.
[Sage White].
The new Profound Sage, ‘Sage White’, the sixth Sage in a thousand years.
All the pract.i.tioners in the universe recited the Sage Name inwardly. The name was imprinted in their respective minds.
The Sage Name had been chosen, and the Sage Seal had been condensed.
A Profound Sage-like dignity wrapped around Senior White’s body.
Unlike his clone, Venerable White’s main body consciously retracted his special charm.
At this time, ‘Sage White’ was still beautiful and unparalleled, but not as captivating as before.
Inside the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, Senior White’s long hair moved on their own, and while condensing the Sage Seal, he was able to recover his state to the peak.
[This is the true temperament of a Profound Sage!] Involuntarily, all the pract.i.tioners in the universe thought so in their minds.
Of the six Profound Sages that successively appeared recently, the first Sage in a thousand years Profound Sage Tyrannical Song could be said to be the most domineering and had that dignified virtuous empress with him. However, at that time, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song was bald, and his bearing was inadequate.
The second, third, and fourth Sages could only be said to be cowardly, and they were simply a disgrace to all the Profound Sages in the world, and should not even be mentioned.
The fifth Sage in 1000 years, Sage Monarch Winter Melon, was a Profound Sage who had taken a rather unusual path: the path of defense. He could be said to be the tortoise sh.e.l.l on a tortoise. When he stood on the screen, he was also somewhat lacking in terms of temperament.
Looking back now, it was only in the show of the sixth Profound Sage, when they saw the captivating style of ‘Sage White’, that they were able to experience the true style of a Profound Sage.
As the Sage Seal had been condensed, the time for the ‘divinity show’ had come to an end.
Following this was the ‘Profound Sage Speech’.
For an Eighth Stage Profound Sage, transcending their tribulation wasn’t the true end of their tribulation. This was because the Profound Sage Speech which they were to hold held great importance. It was important because the Profound Sage Speech was a process wherein they collected power of virtue.
If the content of their Profound Sage Speech was insufficient, and the power of virtue that they collected was not enough to offset the inner demon tribulation, then the Profound Sage would be forced to take on a wave of the inner demon tribulation before leaving the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
❄️❄️❄️
And so, Senior White entered the Profound Sage Speech state.
Just now, when he recalled his clone, the ‘Profound Sage Speech Script’ that it had written beforehand had fallen into his hands.
“It is with great pleasure that I am presented with this opportunity to impart the experiences that I have had during my cultivation to everyone here today.” Senior White smiled slightly, and continued, “It was difficult to choose due to the many things I know, but after giving it much thought, I’ve decided to discuss something that I find particularly interesting, and this is… speed!”
Senior White liked speed, speed of the fastest kind. When the fellow daoists in the Nine Provinces Number One Group heard this opening remark, they already had a vague idea of what Senior White was going to talk about.
Senior White seriously said, “A thousand can be defeated, ten of thousands can also be defeated, but speed cannot be defeated. Although this statement is rather one-sided, I say it to emphasize the importance of speed. On top of all this… speed simply brings great excitement! With that said, I will now discuss a few conventional ways on how to increase one’s speed with everyone. First, using external forces: this allows one to delve into formations. Second, using sophisticated ‘flying or escape techniques’: this allows one to delve into one’s body. Third, using natural treasures to refine magical treasures: this allows one to delve into external objects. These are several conventional methods. If you need to hone your skills and experiment with the said three methods, I can recommend an event that could even be said to be comparable to the ‘Flying Sword Compet.i.tion’—the hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion.”
Afterward, Senior White began to talk about the excitement and benefits of the hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion in front of the entire universe.
The hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion could not only allow one to be entertained and have a taste of excitement, but could also integrate the experiences from equipment refining, formations, flying techniques, modifications, and others.
At this moment, all the pract.i.tioners in the universe wore confused faces.
Wait, did we come to the wrong live broadcast?
Is this a Profound Sage Speech?
Why are we listening to some talk about this ‘hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion’?
If they did not know that the speaker in this speech was the sixth Profound Sage, Sage White, many of the pract.i.tioners in the universe would have long flipped their tables.
But soon, some of the more meticulous pract.i.tioners discovered that as ‘Sage White’ was explaining the hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion, they were able to acquire a considerable amount of knowledge related to formations, flying techniques, and equipment refinement.
Moreover, the explanation was easy to understand. There was even that hand-guided tractor compet.i.tion to make a comparison, which allowed the topic to be better understood.
Was this a unique method of giving a ‘speech’?
