Cultivation Chat Group (Web Novel)

Chapter 1743 Can“t you just ascend normally? Regarding Sixteen not appearing, it was likely because she hadn’t added him through his ‘QR code Golden Core Composition’… But why didn’t Senior White appear? Senior White had already added him as a friend, and he was even among the earliest to do so.Senior Seven Lives Talisman, Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, Daluo Sect’s True Monarch Rain Moon, and the other seniors of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ all appeared as well. Although they did not join this time’s heavenly tribulation, they had all added him as a friend soon after ‘Scholar Drunken Spoon’ did. Similar to the scholar, because they had added him too late, they didn’t get involved in the group heavenly tribulation.

The world had its own principles, yes… but can’t it be a little bit more consistent sometimes?

Song Shuhang felt his brain aching.

It would have been nice if he could use the secret appraisal technique on his fat whale golden core at this time. That way, he could appraise all the information, and save his brain cells.

As the star road stretched out, more members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group appeared on Song Shuhang’s star road. Cave Lord Snow Wolf, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple… They were roughly sorted according to the time Song Shuhang officially made contact with them.

If that’s the case, it should be Guoguo’s turn to appear… Will Little Guoguo and Senior Brother Three Realms appear on the road? Song Shuhang’s heart thumped.

Young Monk Guoguo and Senior Brother Three Realms did not add him as a friend, so this should be able to provide clarity on his speculations. Did the members who appeared on his golden core star road have to add him as a ‘friend’ first?

[Beep~ Faraway Wandering Temple’s Three Realms has added you as a friend, and has been included in the ‘senior brother’ list.]

[Beep~ Faraway Wandering Temple’s Little Guoguo has added you as a friend, and has been included in the ‘junior brother’ list.]

[Beep~ Shi has added you as a friend, and has been included in the ‘junior sister’ list.]

[Beep~ Zhu has added you as a friend, and has been included in the ‘junior sister’ list.]

Suddenly, four friend messages popped up in one go.

“…” Song Shuhang.

Although Senior Brother Three Realms had not joined the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’, he was sometimes responsible for logging in to Great Master Profound Principle’s account and posting some news. It seemed that he happened to see the QR code, and the three little guys happened to be beside him, and then they added him as a friend…

Wasn’t this a bit too much of a coincidence?

In this way, he could not verify his guesses.

After a while, the figures of Senior Brother Three Realms and Guoguo appeared on the ‘star road’. Next, there was Lady Onion. Her figure appeared as nothing more than a green onion sprout, almost causing her to go unnoticed by Song Shuhang.

And beside Lady Onion, a female nun appeared with only her back visible. She bent over and squatted beside Lady Onion, and her face could not be seen.

It’s her. Song Shuhang had recovered a lot of memories from the ‘mysterious island’.

This portion of his memories had been sealed with his consent. Unless the conditions were met, his memory would not automatically unseal.

Of course… If he really was curious, he could simply look for Senior White or Senior White Two now, or even use his Dragon Network Authority, to unlock the seal on his memory.

This nun should be the one he met back on the mysterious island.

Her fate was closely linked with Lady Onion’s, and she appeared on Song Shuhang’s star road with Lady Onion.

Song Shuhang murmured, “She probably didn’t add me as a friend… However, Lady Onion has, and the relationship between her and Lady Onion is extremely complicated. Perhaps Lady Onion adding me is equivalent to her doing so as well.”

While he was in thought, Immortal Master Copper Trigram’s figure appeared. Senior Copper Trigram had a special shape. When his figure appeared on Song Shuhang’s golden core star road, it was constantly changing, until it eventually settled on the last appearance Song Shuhang saw him take, which was the appearance that his primordial soul currently had—one that was wearing a red dress and a mask which was a primordial soul treasure.

After Senior Copper Trigram, it should be Yu Jiaojiao’s turn, Song Shuhang said in his mind.

This time, he would really be able to confirm his guesses.

Yu Jiaojiao had still not added him as a friend. She was practicing in the forbidden area of the dragon clan, and she was basically unable to communicate with the outside world. She couldn’t even connect to the Internet. During this short period of time, she definitely wouldn’t have been able to add him as a friend.

And she was a very important fellow daoist on his path of cultivation.

Now, it’s time to see if Yu Jiaojiao’s figure will appear on the star road!

Yu Jiaojiao’s figure appeared!

The half-fish and half-human Yu Jiaojiao appeared on Song Shuhang’s golden core star road in a super cute form. But compared to the other fellow daoists, Yu Jiaojiao’s figure was slightly blurry. It was like the gap between ‘high-definition’ and ‘standard-definition’ for videos.

In other words, even if they don’t add me as a friend through my QR code Golden Core Composition, as long as they have a close relationship with me, they can still appear on my star road!

So what was going on with Sixteen and Senior White?

Shuhang’s brain cells were fried in batches.

Following Yu Jiaojiao were True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, Young Master Phoenix Slayer, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Fairy Lychee, Dharma King Creation, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, Fairy Dongfang Six… as well as the other seniors in the group, who emerged one after the other.

This batch of group members consisted of those that had been brought by Senior White to the Chu Family’s Grievance Settling Platform through the ‘disposable meteor shower’.

Even Soft Feather’s father, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, appeared on Song Shuhang’s golden core star road.

The definition of Venerable Spirit Butterfly was even lower. If Yu Jiaojiao was ‘standard definition’, then Venerable Spirit Butterfly was blurry to the point where the pixels were clearly visible.

So, is the main function of adding someone as a ‘friend’ to increase the degree of their ‘definition’ here?

Right, is Scholar Drunken Boom here? Song Shuhang looked at the members that had appeared on the golden core star road, remembering that both Scholar Drunken Boom and Senior Thrice Reckless Mad Saber appeared on the ‘Grievance Settling Platform’ at the time.

Song Shuhang first found Thrice Reckless Mad Saber. Then, he saw another practitioner, who was obviously very handsome but was easily overlooked by others, right next to Thrice Reckless.

This should be the Scholar Drunken Boom, I can’t be wrong. Song Shuhang was certain in his heart.

The star road continued to stretch.

Little Yinzhu, Shi, Zhu, Pavilion Master Chu, Senior Turtle, the Great Northern Emperor, and Sage Monarch Melon Eater all appeared one by one. From what Song Shuhang could recall, almost all the friendly fellow daoists he’d come in contact with were here on the star road.

Beside Pavilion Master Chu, there was a figure hidden in the shadows. If Song Shuhang hadn’t observed carefully, he would have probably missed this figure. However, Song Shuhang had no memory of this figure.

He frowned, trying to remember who this shadow was.

Besides the fellow daoists he met in the main world, the demonic hamster and Little Sun T233 also appeared on the golden core star road.

But like Senior White earlier, Senior White Two’s figure did not appear on the road.

Besides Sixteen, Senior White, and Senior White Two, there were also Fairy Cheng Lin, the Scholarly Sage, Fairy Creation, Fairy ＠#＆×, Elder Sister White Dragon, the Heavenly Emperor, and Lady Kunna who acted strange. They did not appear on Song Shuhang’s golden core star road, either.

Song Shuhang had a hunch that none of them was going to appear at this point. But he still couldn’t understand why Sixteen and the two Senior Whites didn’t appear.

In the end… the star road on the whale core began to spiral. It was originally a relatively flat curve, but the star road soon turned into a spiral road.

Many vague figures appeared on the road.

These vague figures had no facial features and clothing, being just untransformed shells.

There was a great number of them.

Song Shuhang guessed, “Are these in preparation for the future?”

His lifespan was still very long, and he might meet many more fellow daoists in the future. As such, these untransformed bodies might be reserved for the future.

The star road became a spiral whose end was clearly in sight.

The nine dragon patterns moved at this end, with the first eight interlocking to form a round frame, while the ninth dragon pattern went to the middle to form a ‘gate’.

Could it be that Sixteen and the two Senior Whites are behind this ‘gate’? Song Shuhang’s heart thumped.

Could this ‘door’ be opened?

At this moment, a figure slowly emerged beside the door.

This figure was making a gesture of reaching out, and pushing the door open…

Song Shuhang’s attention was suddenly attracted by this figure.

Who is this figure?

Is it me? Song Shuhang’s heart thumped.

Pretty much all the fellow daoists who should have appeared had already emerged on the star road. Apart from Sixteen and the two Senior Whites, Shuhang was the only one who had yet to show up.

According to the script, the person who was opening the mysterious gate should be him.

While he was in thought, the vague figure began to transform.

White and slender legs were reflected in Song Shuhang’s eyes. Seeing these legs, Song Shuhang knew that it was definitely not him. He didn’t have such long legs.

When it came to such iconic legs, Soft Feather was the only one who had them.

However, Soft Feather has already appeared at the start of my star road!

There shouldn’t be a reason why another Soft Feather would appear, right?

Unless… This is the Heavenly Emperor?

The vague figure completely formed. And as Song Shuhang guessed, it was another Soft Feather.

The star gate made of dragon patterns was slowly pushed open.

Inside the door was the person Song Shuhang was most familiar with.

It was himself.

To be precise… It was his [True Self].

This was the effect of the ninth dragon pattern. No matter who it was, when they took a look at the figure inside the door, they would see their ‘True Self’.

“…” Song Shuhang.

He rubbed his temples.

So, what about Sixteen? What about Senior White? What about Senior White Two?

[What about me? During this short period of time when I’ve been arranging a Tribulation Transcension Space for the little hamster, you’ve called me seven or eight times.] Senior White Two’s voice suddenly rang in Song Shuhang’s mind.

Song Shuhang quickly asked, [Senior White? Has the little hamster succeeded in transcending the tribulation?]

Senior White Two said, [Do you think that it’s that easy to transcend the Eighth Stage heavenly tribulation when you’re just supposed to be ascending to the Fifth Stage? Even if I used my authority as the ruler of the Netherworld, I can only weaken the power of the heavenly tribulation to a level that’s in the Seventh Stage but approaching the Eighth Stage. It takes a long time to prepare for such a tribulation. In order to not affect the outcome, methods like fixing one’s HP cannot be used. It should take № Hamster a while to get through this tribulation.]

“…” Song Shuhang.

Senior White Two said, [Now, why were you calling my name? I’m busy right now.]

Song Shuhang responded, [Senior White, something went wrong when my life-bound whale core evolved.]

He then repeated everything that happened to his life-bound whale core to Senior White Two.

After listening to Song Shuhang’s report, Senior White Two went silent for a while.

[I spent so much effort drawing those nine dragon patterns for you… Can’t you just ascend normally?] Senior White Two said with his heart stifled.
