Chapter 1655 - Ah! You wanna die?!

Chapter 1655: Ah! You wanna die?!

What? Senior Melon Eater is about to transcend his tribulation of the Ninth Stage?

Song Shuhang’s mouth gaped open.

What timing!

He was someone who now had two ‘Lustrous Golden Core’, someone who could draw the tribulation over at any moment, a ‘bomb’ that could explode at any time.

In this case, it was too dangerous for him to stay with Senior Melon Eater.

As such, Song Shuhang quickly got up, cupped his fist at Senior Melon Eater, and said, “Farewell!”

“???” Sage Monarch Melon Eater.

“I wish Senior Melon Eater success in his ascension to the Ninth Stage, and that you may shock the universe!” Song Shuhang said, and then he shouted, “Let’s go back!”

“Wait, what is the meaning of this? Why are you trying to leave so hastily? Young man, if you don’t explain yourself, don’t even think about leaving today!” Sage Monarch Melon Eater opened his mouth and a big net flew out, covering Song Shuhang.

It regarded Song Shuhang as a close friend. The previous few times they met, they would have decent chats, so what was going on this time? Song Shuhang looked like he was regarding it as a calamitous star, wanting to run away from it as quickly as possible.

It was a materialization of good virtue, alright?

Song Shuhang was suddenly covered by a large net. Unable to move, he fell to the ground.

“Senior Melon Eater…” Song Shuhang began to explain. “Actually… I’m also at the point where I’m about to transcend my tribulation. If we stay together, we’d end up dying faster.”

“So that’s the case. You should’ve said so earlier. Can’t you just explain things clearly? That way, you’d avoid misunderstandings.” Sage Monarch Melon Eater laughed. It willed it, and the big net that covered Song Shuhang dissipated.

But in the next moment, Sage Monarch Melon Eater was taken aback.

“Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song.” Sage Monarch Melon Eater frowned, and said, “I’ve got a question, what year and what month is it today?”

“It should still be around October 19th? I’m in a special small world at the moment, and there might be a small difference in time when compared with the outside world. However, it should not be too different,” Song Shuhang replied. “Senior, why are you suddenly asking this?”

“That means it hasn’t been that long,” Sage Monarch Melon Eater murmured.

Song Shuhang looked dazed, and didn’t understand what Senior Melon Eater was saying.

“If I recall correctly, didn’t you, the first Sage in a thousand years, just recently ascend to the Eighth Stage?” Sage Monarch Melon Eater said. “Yet now you’re telling me that you’re going to ascend soon? It’s only been a few months, yet you’re already ascending from the Eighth Stage to the Ninth Stage? Are you making a fool out of me?”

Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s heart was in turmoil.

It had been stuck in the ‘Eighth Stage Realm’ for a long time due to its incomplete ‘cultivation technique’. Later on, it had finally chanced upon Song Shuhang and the Northern Emperor, and was able to find an opportunity to ascend to the Nine Stage, perhaps even to the Immortal Realm. Finally, in just a few months, it got the feeling that it would soon ascend to the Ninth Stage.

But Song Shuhang, the first Sage in a thousand years, who had just ascended to the Eighth Stage, was saying that he would soon ascend to the Ninth Stage?

Was he joking?

Not even the Scholarly Sage had such a terrifying cultivation speed, alright?

The Ancient Heavenly City’s Heavenly Emperor, who was barely behind the Scholarly Sage in this aspect, hadn’t been as quick, either.

So… could this kid have been lying to it?

Was he just looking for an excuse to run away from it?

Song Shuhang blinked his eyes, and replied, “Eh? Senior Melon Eater, have I never told you? I’m not really at the Eighth Stage Realm, and my real realm is only at the Fifth Stage. Me having gotten to show my divinity previously was just an accident. In fact, during that time, I had accidentally gotten involved in an Eighth Stage Profound Sage Tribulation along with several seniors. In the end, I was lucky enough to transcend the tribulation, but I’m still not a genuine Eighth Stage Profound Sage.”

Unexpectedly, Sage Monarch Melon Eater didn’t know about this.

“…” Sage Monarch Melon Eater.

Such a thing could happen?

Heavens, you aren’t a genuine Eighth Stage Profound Sage, yet you could trash Sage Monarch Wintermelon… Just what exactly are you?

It had the impression that Sage Monarch Wintermelon had high regard for ‘Tyrannical Song’. Sage Monarch Wintermelon mentioned several times that he was defeated by Tyrannical Song.

Should it tell that kid Wintermelon about this?

After pondering over it, it decided to just forget about it. A dignified Eighth Stage Profound Sage, one that specialized in defense at that, was actually beaten up by a guy who was only at the Fifth Stage… It was simply too embarrassing.

It would be better not to spread it.

After a while, Sage Monarch Melon Eater nodded. “So that’s the case. Although I don’t know how you survived the Profound Sage Tribulation, or how you got your title as a ‘Profound Sage’, together with the messy Profound Sage Speeches you gave, I understand the situation, you are a fake Profound Sage.”

Although this was true…

Sage Monarch Melon Eater asked, “In other words, you’re going to be transcending the tribulation of the Sixth Stage this time?”

Song Shuhang nodded, and replied, “Yes, I will finally advance from the Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor Realm to the Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm. In the blink of an eye, I’ve gone from being a small newbie cultivator to a ‘senior’-level figure.”

In the current world of cultivation, Sixth Stage True Monarchs could already be considered true seniors, with them being existences that new cultivators looked up to.

“Wait… I suddenly have another doubt. A few months ago, when you became the ‘first Sage in a thousand years’, did you also transcend a tribulation?” Sage Monarch Melon Eater found itself in doubt.

Song Shuhang nodded.

“That time, was it the tribulation of the Fifth Stage? It’s only been several months since then, yet you’re already ascending to the Sixth Stage… You simply aren’t human.” Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s mouth was wide open, and a big net fell from the sky, covering Song Shuhang all at once.

Song Shuhang tried prying the large net open, but he couldn’t affect the net at all—after all, it was Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s magical treasure, who was an existence that was very close to the Ninth Stage Realm. It would be strange if Song Shuhang could open it.

Song Shuhang gave a light cough, and said, “Actually, that isn’t entirely true.”

“Huh?” Sage Monarch Melon Eater looked at Song Shuhang suspiciously.

Could it be that at that time, Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song hadn’t been transcending his tribulation, but simply got involved in the tribulation of others?

“In fact, at that time, I was transcending my tribulation of the Fourth Stage. Afterward, last month, I transcended my tribulation of the Fifth Stage, during which I also found myself getting the Demonic Seal Tyrannical Scholar in the Netherworld Realm. I only began preparing for my heavenly tribulation of the Sixth Stage this month,” Song Shuhang replied.

You hurt my body, and I hurt your spirit!

“Ah! You wanna die?!” Sage Monarch Melon Eater leaped up, and its fat body rolled down towards Song Shuhang.

To think that it had actually been trapped in the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm for several thousand years, deeply experiencing the troubles of ‘ascension’. Meanwhile, this kid was going through them like they were nothing, viciously rending its heart.

It was as if he was cutting its throat.

Song Shuhang yelled, “Aaah~ Senior, I was wrong. Please don’t do this. I’m going to die!”

It would be wrong to judge Sage Monarch Melon Eater from its three-meter-long body… It was only like this at the moment because it had shrunken itself, but it was still a giant whale the size of an island. Its body might have become smaller, but its weight had not changed.

If an island crushed someone, they would definitely die.

“Bang~”

Song Shuhang was brutally crushed by Sage Monarch Melon Eater.

“Aaaah~ I’m going to die~” Then, Song Shuhang tilted his head.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater got up with satisfaction and moved aside.

“Don’t pretend to be dead. This is the ‘Virtuous Network World’, you can’t actually get hurt.” Sage Monarch Melon Eater put away the strange net.

“Senior Melon Eater, you should lose weight.” Song Shuhang sat up and rubbed his neck—this world wasn’t one where you could get hurt.

When Senior Melon Eater pressed Shuhang down just now, under the pressure of its weight, the pain of being ‘crushed to pieces’ emerged. However, after the pain receded, Song Shuhang was not hurt in any way.

So, since he couldn’t get hurt… then he didn’t need to conceal his thoughts.

Song Shuhang’s hobby of ‘speaking his mind’ could be displayed to its full extent in this Virtuous Network World.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater gritted its teeth, and said, “Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, don’t you know that mentioning others’ weight is taboo?”

Song Shuhang responded, “Mm-hm, I know. If it hadn’t been taboo, I wouldn’t have mentioned it.”

“Ah! You wanna die?!” Sage Monarch Melon Eater once again used ‘water splash’, and its huge body moved to flatten Song Shuhang.

“Heh, the same move won’t work on me twice.” Song Shuhang rolled aside quickly, already guarding against the move.

“Naive!” Sage Monarch Melon Eater suddenly revealed its main body, and its island-sized body pressed down.

Song Shuhang screamed, “Aaah~ Senior, I was wrong… I’m going to die, I’m going to die.”

After a while.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater went back to its size of three meters, and moved to the side.

Song Shuhang rubbed his neck and sat up. “That hurt, I felt like I was really going to die just now.”

Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s mouth twitched, and he said, “Your character keeps reminding me of someone.”

Song Shuhang subconsciously asked, “Slow-Witted Song?”

Whenever an old senior brought this up, he would immediately think of Slow-Witted Song.

“Slow-Witted Song? No, I don’t know him,” Sage Monarch Melon Eater said. “I’m talking about Su Clan’s Three, a guy I met hundreds of years ago. Right, that little girl who was with you last time is also from the Spirit River Su Clan, right? That little girl is quite young, but she’ll definitely be a big beauty when she grows up. The Spirit River Su Clan has very good genes. Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, nurture her well.”

“…” Song Shuhang.

Sorry, Senior Melon Eater. Sixteen’s current appearance is already what she will look like when she grows older. No matter how old she grows, she’ll stay the same.

In addition, Su Clan’s Three has changed his name. He is now called Su Clan’s Four.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “Alright, let’s end this chat here. To be able to chat with little friend Tyrannical Song for a while before I go and transcend my tribulation has put me in a better mood. Now, since we’re both about to transcend the tribulation soon, splitting up sooner would be for the better.”

Song Shuhang cupped his fists. “Farewell!”

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “Wait, leave me your contact information so that we can contact each other later. What’s your phone number?”

Song Shuhang reported his phone number and chat software number to Sage Monarch Melon Eater.

Then, Sage Monarch Melon Eater took out a phone, started typing in Shuhang’s account number, and searched his account on the Internet.

“!!!” Song Shuhang

Wait, wait a minute.

Phones can be brought into the Virtuous Network?

“Senior Melon Eater, you can bring your phone into the Virtuous Network? Can you also surf the Internet?” Song Shuhang said in surprise.

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said, “Of course. What’s so weird about this? This Virtuous Network… is very likely built with our imagination as the foundation. It isn’t surprising for it to have these small features.”

Can I also bring my phone in and contact the outside world? Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up.

In addition, Song Shuhang suddenly thought of another thing.

With a thought, just like he did back in the ‘class transfer space’, he projected his ‘QR code Golden Core Composition’. “Senior Melon Eater, would you like to scan the QR code to add me as a friend?”
