Chapter 1741 The importance of shocking the audience

When it came to condensing the Dragon Seal, the process was the same for Soft Feather as it was for Doudou. First, the dragon wings appeared, and then they transformed into the Dragon Seal.

Since Li Yinzhu was still asleep, her daoist name had been automatically generated, and she didn’t get to choose it.

[Ancient Sage Yinzhu].

The 10th Sage in 1,000 years, and the second Eighth Stage fairy maiden in 1,000 years.

With this, the first ten Profound Sage-level powerhouses of the past 1,000 years had been born.

However, this Ancient Sage Yinzhu was still asleep. Was there not going to be a problem for the speech portion?

Did this mean that the cultivation technique she practiced had something to do with sleeping?

Both the world of cultivation and the world of mages had similar cultivation techniques and professions, such as the relatively famous ❮Great Dream Heart Sutra❯ of the world of cultivation and the ‘Dream Weaver’ of the world of mages. In these cases, the practitioner was always in a state of conscious sleep.

Perhaps when it was time for her to begin her speech, this ‘Ancient Sage Yinzhu’ would open her eyes and deliver her speech. Or perhaps she was going to directly deliver a speech through a dream?

Previously, hadn’t Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar delivered a speech through a dream?

In this way, with the practitioners of the universe having high hopes, Li Yinzhu’s speech began.

Song Shuhang clenched his fists.

Fortunately, this was the Black Dragon World, and he could use his Dragon Network Authority. Even if it was impossible for him to interfere with Li Yinzhu’s speech, he could at least guarantee that there would be no danger to Li Yinzhu’s life if she did fail it.

And so, the time for the speech had come.

The practitioners of the universe raised their heads and looked up at the sky. Some even took out notebooks, preparing to take notes of the upcoming Sage Speech.

Li Yinzhu’s body shook slightly.

Then, her silver eyelashes quivered.

“Wake up, wake up!” Song Shuhang said happily. The second ‘scroll’ in his hand was already prepared. As soon as Li Yinzhu woke up, he could let her properly finish her speech.

Li Yinzhu opened her beautiful, shining silver eyes.

She looked around in a daze, and then finally saw Song Shuhang.

A bright smile appeared on her little face. “A’Song!”

Then, her body rolled on the ground.

‘Roll, roll, roll~’ She rolled all the way right in front of Song Shuhang.

However, because of the speech state she was in, the practitioners of the universe could only see Li Yinzhu, and not Song Shuhang. Everyone only saw and heard Li Yinzhu’s child-like cry “A’Song”, and then the screen rolled over.

After rolling to a certain position, she stopped.

The practitioners of the universe looked dumbfounded at first.

Then they felt that it was rather… cute.

“Yinzhu, get up quickly. It’s your turn to deliver a speech.” Song Shuhang handed the second scroll to Li Yinzhu. “You need to deliver a speech.”

But Li Yinzhu’s silver-white eyes had unknowingly closed again. At this time, she was leaning against Song Shuhang, and had fallen back into hibernation mode. She returned to a state where there was no way to wake her up.

Not to mention yelling, even the loud booms of the Ninth Stage Heavenly Tribulation had not been able to wake her up.

Her hibernation was extremely strange.

I wonder what changes have happened to her body…

Song Shuhang placed his hand on Li Yinzhu, and quickly performed two ‘Saber-Nurturing Techniques’.

This move was effective for Senior White’s clone. I wonder if I can wake Li Yinzhu up the same way?

After using the ‘Saber-Nurturing Technique’ several times, it instead only let Li Yinzhu sleep better.

“…” Song Shuhang.

The time for the ‘Profound Sage Speech’ had ended.

The practitioners of the universe and the Black Dragon World watched as Li Yinzhu slept through the entire speech.

Their minds felt like they were about to explode.

But it felt… cute.

As soon as the speech time was over, Li Yinzhu’s ‘heavenly tribulation’ also came to an end.

The illusory core in her body began to condense, and then turned into a golden core.

At the moment when the golden core was formed, coldness erupted from her body, wrapping around and encasing her figure in ice.

Since she hadn’t delivered a speech the entire time, it was tantamount to a failure. Thus, she couldn’t reap much virtue, and the Black Dragon World could not give her ‘blessings’.

“There isn’t going to be an inner demon tribulation next, right?” Song Shuhang asked with some worry in his voice.

The Dragon Network Assistant shook its head.

Song Shuhang asked, “Are there going to be other troubles she has to deal with? Any punishments?”

The Dragon Network Assistant nodded. “There will be some mental shocks, but through the Dragon Network Authority, those mental shocks can be slowed down and delayed. And the data of the mental shocks can be modified.”

With authority, you could do whatever you wanted!

Song Shuhang let out a breath of relief. “That’s good. Transfer Li Yinzhu to my Inner World first, and try to delay her mental shock. Try delaying everything until I finish my speech. If it can’t wait, then reduce and weaken the intensity of the mental shock as much as possible.”

The Dragon Network Assistant nodded. “Confirming command, executing.”

Next, it was Shuhang’s turn to hold the Divinity Show.

Fellow daoists of the universe… It’s been a month since we last met, are you all in good health?

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang stood up slowly, smiling.

New the first time, familiar the second time.

This was already the third time he was doing this, so he’d already gotten very familiar with it.

First of all, when showing one’s divinity and delivering the speech, one had to build momentum for themself. Hook the audience immediately upon appearance so that when the time came, the effect of the speech would be best displayed.

When it came to building momentum, Song Shuhang was particularly good at it.

He would walk on stage accompanied by the blooming of a lotus, followed by the virtuous lamia, 36 Holy Apes holding scriptures, and the Impregnable Holy City, who would dazzle the audience.

This was what Song Shuhang had planned to do.

But before he could do anything, the ‘Divinity Show’ started, and he wasn’t given time to put on a show.

“…” Song Shuhang.

In the scene of the Divinity Show, Song Shuhang sat cross-legged while holding a withered green onion sprout in his hand. Behind him, the primordial souls of the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group were neatly arranged in four rows.

The practitioners of the universe suddenly became lively.

Were they going to be holding the Divinity Show together?

They thought that Song Shuhang and the 28 members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group would separate, and each show their divinity one by one. Unexpectedly, they were a package, and went to battle together.

Could it be that there weren’t actually 29 people, but rather this man who they presumed to be Tyrannical Song’s father/brother had practiced a special magical technique that allowed him to cast 28 primordial soul projections behind him to increase his combat power?

While they were in thought, Song Shuhang’s Dragon Seal began to condense.

Since he owned an ID in the ‘Dragon Network’, when the Dragon Seal condensed, he directly used his ID as the name.

[Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon]—the Dragon Seal condensed, and had the name written in both Chinese and the language of the Black Dragon World.

“Sure enough, we can’t be mistaken. This must be Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s elder brother or father, or even grandpa. This style of naming is just like his.”

“It might also be a son. After all, Profound Sages are very old. Perhaps the son preferred a middle-aged appearance?”

“The Tyrannical Clan? Is there such a clan in the world of cultivation?”

“For some reason, my eyes keep on involuntarily moving away from Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon’s for fear that a strange light might suddenly emerge in his eyes.”

Similar sounds were all fed back to Song Shuhang’s ears through the Dragon Network.

“…” Song Shuhang.

Hmm, since I wasn’t able to shock them at the first try, I should try again.

Song Shuhang quietly opened the second beast skin scroll. It’s time to shock the audience.

“Before I begin my speech, I’ve got a question for everyone,” Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon said softly. “Fellow Daoists of the universe, which discipline do you want to hear about? Buddhism, Daoism, the scholarly faction, demonic sects, the monster cultivation system, or the beast king system? Or do you want to hear a speech on the Sea Clan?”

No matter which one you want to hear about, I can satisfy you!

In these words, a certain kind of lofty arrogance of someone with a profound breadth of knowledge rushed out towards everyone!

“Could it be that Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon is proficient in the principles of Buddhism, Daoism, scholars, demons, monsters, beasts, and sea races? Is there really such a knowledgeable man in this world?”

“He wants us to choose any one among the seven disciplines? In other words, Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon thinks that he has reached Profound Sage-level knowledge in all the seven disciplines?”

“Studying seven paths at once… Isn’t this Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon afraid of going crazy? Won’t there be conflicts between those seven disciplines? Especially when they’re researched to the Profound Sage level, I really feel that they might lead to one going mad.”

“If we’re to choose one from seven, the one for scholars must be removed. Also, since he’s a member of the Tyrannical Clan, if Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon delivers a speech, we can’t afford it if he were to talk about [Filial Piety and Maternal Love] again.”

“We can also do away with the Buddhist speech. Previously, Profound Sage Seven Lives Talisman has already given a lecture on a supreme Buddhist doctrine.”

“The same goes for a speech for monsters. Ancient Sage Doudou just delivered a speech on the ❮Monster Sage Heart Sutra❯.”

“Who cares, we want to hear more on Buddhism.”

“We want one on Daoism.”

Sounds of surprise, discussions, and debates from the universe were all fed back to Song Shuhang’s ears through the Dragon Network.

The corners of Song Shuhang’s mouth rose slightly—this was what he wanted.

After a while…

The beast skin scroll automatically selected the manuscript most suitable for Song Shuhang’s current speech—a speech for demon sects, ❮Stir Anger, Yield To Anger, Control Anger❯.

Demonic sects were good at making use of the power of emotions. And this speech, although it was for demonic sects, was still applicable to the other systems.

This was also the standard for a high-quality speech.

The Profound Sage Speech wasn’t directed at a single discipline, but to the entirety of the practitioners in the universe. Therefore, the content of the speech had to be adapted to be beneficial to the largest number of people so that the speaker would be able to gain as much power of virtue as they could.

The content of the speech was confirmed, and Song Shuhang began to speak.

As he began his speech, he felt his fat whale golden core resonate strongly, beginning to change.

One figure after another appeared on the fat whale golden core.

The projections looked very vague, and it was rather difficult to recognize them. However, Song Shuhang knew that these were his seniors from the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’. They were the most important group of people that he came across when he came in contact with the world of cultivation.

As the number of projections on the fat whale golden core continued to increase, a spiritual spring began gushing out from the top of the fat whale’s head.

The gushing spiritual spring began to turn into a Spirit Lake.

While he was in the middle of his speech, Song Shuhang was slightly taken aback by these events.

No, this process isn’t right. Isn’t the Golden Core supposed to melt, and then become a Spirit Lake? Isn’t the entire golden core supposed to melt first?

Moreover, my whale core’s ‘Golden Core Composition’ isn’t complete yet. The finishing touch hasn’t even been added!
