Chapter 460: Those are not four-word dao names!

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu

Even though Soft Feather placed fifth, it was only because Northern River's Loose Cultivator allowed her to overtake him. The one that should have originally placed fifth was Northern River himself. Such being the case, the dao names of the seniors that placed amongst the first five in this hand-guided tractor competition were all composed of four words!

"Such being the case, I should take a four-word dao name as well!" Song Shuhang said.

On the other hand, it was really time for him to get a dao name. After all, he couldn't keep calling himself 'Stressed by a Mountain of Books'.

He was already a cultivator of the Second Stage and had officially stepped into the world of cultivators.

With his cultivation slowly rising, he was bound to meet other seniors or fellow daoists.

At the time, when the opposite party saw him, they would warmly greet him like this, "Hello, Fellow Daoist. I'm Scholar XXX, may I ask your name?"

"Haha, so it was Scholar XXX. I've heard so much of you, it's really a pleasure to meet you. As for my name… you can just call me Stressed by a Mountain of Books."

"So it was Fellow Daoist Stressed by a Mountain of Books, it's a pleasure to meet you~"

Just by visualizing this scene in his mind, Song Shuhang felt that there was something quite wrong with it.

It was time to officially take a dao name!

❄️❄️❄️

But how can I obtain a dao name...?

If he were a disciple of a sect, one of the elders or his teacher might give him one.

For example, Fairy Lychee and the other disciples of her master all had dao names related to fruits.

But how did loose cultivators get their dao names?

Would he have to choose it himself?

"If I have to choose a dao name myself… well, something like Daoist Priest Godly Sword sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Or perhaps I should follow Senior Northern River's example and use something like 'Loose Cultivator Scholarly Sword'? This sounds pretty good as well!" Song Shuhang held his chin and pondered.

Loose Cultivator Scholarly Sword, Daoist Priest Scholarly Sword, Scholar Scholarly Sword, and so on all sounded pretty good. In the future, if he were to obtain great results and advance in realm, his dao name would change into True Monarch Scholarly Sword, Venerable Scholarly Sword and so on, very fitting.

But returning to the main topic… he felt that it was a bit strange to choose a dao name on his own.

A dao name wasn't like one's online username.

It was something that would affect his whole life… therefore, was it better to use something a little more serious?

Otherwise, he might ask one of the seniors in the group to give him a dao name?

However, he was a little afraid to ask the seniors to give him a dao name...

"What if the seniors were to give me a dao name like 'Daoist Priest Eggplant' or something of the sort…?" Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

On the award platform, Venerable White, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, and Venerable Tornado rewarded the first three contestants.

After giving the reward to True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, Venerable White arrived next to Song Shuhang.

After seeing that Song Shuhang was awake, Venerable White smiled and said, "Did you finish breaking through?"

"Yes! Thanks to a senior guiding me step by step, I was able to successfully break through." Song Shuhang smiled and pointed at the back of his waist. "It feels rather weird around here after opening the Dragon Tail Dantian."

After opening the Dragon Tail Dantian, he felt as though he had many small tails at his back.

It wasn't just Song Shuhang misconception… after opening the Dragon Tail Dantian, one could release true qi directly from the tail section. That was why Song Shuhang felt as though he had many small tails attached to his back.

Of course… this tail of true qi was only a fleeting thing.

Perhaps a particular type of cultivation technique might allow this tail of true qi to become something permanent… but no cultivator would be so bored to develop such a useless cultivation technique.

Aside from that, the quality and quantity of Song Shuhang's true qi doubled after opening the Dragon Tail Dantian.

His combat strength also doubled.

"A senior was guiding you?" Venerable White was confused.

Song Shuhang replied, "Yes! While I was trying to break through, a senior directly spoke in my mind and taught me the correct method to smash open the Dragon Tail Dantian. With that, I was able to successfully break through the four checkpoints."

Venerable White blinked a few times. Which fellow daoists helped Song Shuhang while he was breaking through? How come he didn't notice anything?

Whatever, it's not a bad thing, after all.

Venerable White smiled and said, "In a while, remember to go in the Nine Provinces Number One Group and ask which senior helped you. They did you a favor, and it's good to bear it in mind."

Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Yes, I'll keep it in mind."

"Moreover, I just heard you mutter Daoist Priest Eggplant, Loose Cultivator Scholarly Sword, and so on. What was the deal with that?" Venerable White asked out of curiosity. In the meantime, he took out a big box and opened it. There were many purple bayberries inside.

"Ah~ Senior White heard it! Haha…" Song Shuhang was quite embarrassed. However, he still replied, "I suddenly realized that I've already become a Second Stage True Master and officially stepped into the world of cultivators. Therefore, I was thinking whether or not it was the time to get a 'dao name'?"

"Oh~" Venerable White nodded in approval.

Song Shuhang continued, "However, I chose the road of a loose cultivator and didn't join any sect or school. Since I don't have a teacher or an elder of the sect to give me a dao name, I was wondering if I should choose one myself."

Venerable White's cheeks bulged. "Pew, pew, pew, pew~"

The seeds of the fruits flew in a straight line and fell into the sea.

Venerable White smiled and said, "Therefore, you thought of Daoist Eggplant? Have you decided to follow in Fairy Lychee's footsteps and use a dao name related to vegetables or fruits like the disciples of her sect? Such being the case, I recommend you to use Daoist Priest Bayberry, it sounds much better!"

"..." Song Shuhang.

"Senior White, that wasn't it! When I thought of Daoist Priest Eggplant, it was because I was deciding which dao name to blacklist permanently! In fact, I feel that dao names such as Loose Cultivator Scholarly Sword and Daoist Priest Godly Sword are much more suited to me," Song Shuhang said with a smile.

Venerable White pondered for a moment and said, "Shuhang, do you even use the sword? I thought you were specialized in saber techniques?"

Venerable White earnestly pointed out the problem with Song Shuhang's dao name.

Song Shuhang: ?

"Moreover… Loose Cultivator Scholarly Sword, Daoist Priest Godly Sword, and so on dao names were already used by several people in the last thousands of years. If one were to hear them now, they would give an overused and backward feeling," Venerable White continued. "At this point, you might as well keep using your current dao name, Stressed by a Mountain of Books."

Song Shuhang quickly said, "Senior White, Stressed by a Mountain of Books is just my online username, it's not my dao name!"

Venerable White blinked a few times. "Pew, pew, pew, pew~"

"Moreover, I feel that it's better to have a dao name composed of four words!" Song Shuhang continued and stretched his finger, pointing it out. "Senior White, look. Except for Soft Feather, the seniors that managed to place amongst the first five in this session of the hand-guided tractor competition all have four-word dao names."

"Moreover, most of the seniors in the group have four-word dao names! For example, True Monarch Yellow Mountain, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Immortal Master Copper Trigram, Island Master Tian Tiankong, and so on~"

Venerable White: "Pew, pew, pew, pew~"

Venerable White replied, "I have to remind you of something. Those aren't four-word dao names!"

"?" Song Shuhang.

"The majority of the dao names you mentioned just now are only composed of two words! The part at the front is their title, while the part at the back is their real dao name," Venerable White explained.
