Chapter 1052: Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s hidden jab

Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
Some time ago, this ‘Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd’ had drawn in cultivators from all over the space as they fought over it.
A few months before, Song Shuhang had used a disposable flying sword to send the original version of the gourd to space with Daoist Half Gourd.
It wasn’t known what kind of changes happened to Daoist Half Gourd’s gourd while it was in space, but it somehow ended up becoming the ‘Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd’, which attracted many cultivators. Thus, it caused a great number of cultivators to chase after the disposable flying sword it was on.
At last, the gourd ended up falling into Song Shuhang’s hands. He later lent it to Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, who wanted to use the lingering aura above the gourd to find the ‘Almighty Merchant’.
Song Shuhang asked, “Was Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue able to find that person?”
When he was transcending the tribulation in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, the ‘Almighty Merchant’ forcefully entered it and sold him the flat imperial hat, which ended up saving his life.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue smiled. “Naturally. If I didn’t find him, then how would he be able to get in contact with little friend Shuhang and complete a deal with you?”
At that time, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue faced many hardships to find the ‘Almighty Merchant’. In the end, he was able to successfully purchase the treasure he wanted. The tribulation-transcending treasure that Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue needed was already nonexistent in the main world, and only the ‘Almighty Merchant’ still had some in stock.
Back then, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue wanted Song Shuhang to personally meet the ‘Almighty Merchant’. However, the ‘Almighty Merchant’ waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such trouble. He simply asked Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue for Song Shuhang’s daoist name, and after getting some things that were related to Song Shuhang, he was able to locate the latter, contacting him from a great distance and completing a deal with him.
“Thank you, Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue,” Song Shuhang said sincerely––if it weren’t for Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue meeting with the ‘Almighty Merchant’ in time, Song Shuhang would have already died. Although he still had the ‘life talisman’—which could possibly resurrect him—it wasn’t 100% certain that he would succeed due to the isolation of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.
It could be said that he was granted a new lease of life! This was a great gift.
“No need to be so polite.” After handing the gourd back to Song Shuhang, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue smiled and patted Song Shuhang. “I really envy little friend Shuhang. Do you know how shocked I was when you ‘showed your divinity in front of the masses’ and conducted your ‘Profound Sage Speech’? Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s dumbfounded appearance was especially amusing.”
But at this moment, the saber intent armor on Song Shuhang’s body suddenly stirred… the saber intent armor, which had been in a ‘defensive’ state until now, switched from defense to attack.
A violent saber intent suddenly exploded out. The saber intent spurred saber qi, condensing a powerful and sharp saber that fell on Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s body.
The daoist robe on Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s body automatically activated as layers upon layers of defensive formations appeared.
The saber intent cut at the defensive formations, causing the outermost defensive formation on Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s body to ripple.
Thanks to Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s great power and defense, the strike of the saber didn’t injure him in the least.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue: “…”
Song Shuhang: “…”
It was all an accident!
A while back, when Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen were practicing saber controlling techniques, Sixteen’s short saber had cut at Song Shuhang 36 times, and his ‘saber intent armor’ had already reached its ‘critical point’.
It was due to him discovering that the ‘saber intent armor’ was already at its critical point that Song Shuhang had suggested to stop the saber controlling technique training and rest for a while.
He didn’t think that Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s pat on his shoulder would be the straw that would break the back of the camel.
After a long silence, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Little friend Shuhang, are you upset with me?”
Song Shuhang said seriously, “There’s no such thing, it was an accident! Senior, you have to believe me!”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue asked, “Then why did you try to cut me as soon as we met?”
“It’s a long story, and it’s actually a tragedy for me.” Song Shuhang sighed as he pointed at the saber intent armor. “Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, what do you think this thing is?”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue looked at the armor on Song Shuhang’s body. “It kind of seems like… armor made of true yuan? But I’m also getting a vague feeling that it’s some kind of defensive ‘intent’. Wait, is this… armor intent?”
“Nope, it’s saber intent,” Song Shuhang said seriously.
“Impossible!” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue denied immediately. The saber was the overlord of all weapons, so when it came to saber intent, how could it possibly condense into something that looked like armor?
“But it’s really saber intent…” Song Shuhang raised his head and looked at the sky as he sighed.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue earnestly thought for quite a while. “You must have condensed a fake.”
Song Shuhang’s face was filled with tears. “This is why I said that it’s quite a tragedy. Because of this saber intent armor on my body, I almost changed my daoist name to ‘Tyrannical Armor Song One’”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue carefully studied the saber intent armor on Song Shuhang’s body. “Is it really saber intent?”
Song Shuhang said, “Absolutely so. If you don’t believe me, shall I show you?” As long as he mobilized his saber intent and demonstrated the entire process, Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue would finally believe that this armor was really saber intent.
“No need, I believe you,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said. “So, due to it being saber intent, it fought back when I lightly patted you?”
“Cough, it was an accident.” Song Shuhang felt embarrassed as he said, “Attacks cause my saber intent armor to reach a critical point, and after the armor reaches the critical point, it will automatically counterattack. Before senior patted me, Sixteen had already struck me with her saber 36 times. Then, when Senior patted my shoulder, you just happened to pat the saber intent armor.”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue: “…”
So you’re saying, I was just unlucky?
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue felt tired.
“Then, should I apologize?” Su Clan’s Sixteen raised her small hand. “After all, the 36 saber attacks that struck Song Shuhang was my doing.”
“It’s not Little Sixteen’s fault.” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue sighed. “I was just unlucky. Still, little friend Song Shuhang didn’t disappoint me. Only he could condense such a strange… ahem, such an interesting saber intent.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue asked, “Let’s not talk about this matter anymore. I just saw you practice a saber controlling technique, does this mean that you have already learned a saber riding technique?”
“Mm-hm, I’ve already learned a saber riding technique. Now, I just have to continue to practice the technique to get more familiar with it,” Song Shuhang replied.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue asked, “Then, what about the ❮Brade Dragging Technique❯? Have you practiced it already?”
“Senior, it’s ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯! Not brade dragging,” Song Shuhang replied earnestly.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “It’s all the same. The speed of that saber riding technique is pretty good, have you not thought about practicing it?” Besides the rather strange posture it involved, the speed of the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ was truly not bad.
Song Shuhang replied, “I plan on practicing the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯. Although I might not be able to use it all the time, I can still use it at critical times.”
So what if it involved a rather strange posture? If it could save his life at critical times, then it didn’t matter how weird the posture was.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “If you were to practice it now, then I could watch and guide you along the way.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, are you sure that your intent isn’t to shame me?
Su Clan’s Sixteen looked at the time. “There’s still some time before afternoon classes.”
“You shouldn’t miss this opportunity. This is a training class with a Venerable of the Seventh Stage. After today, I might no longer be in the mood to guide you on the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said with a smile.
Song Shuhang: “…”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Think about it well. Moreover, I should remind you that I’ve researched the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ a bit. After all, it’s quite interesting. Compared to the more common saber riding techniques, it’s more suitable for beginners as there’s no need to worry about stability. Furthermore, I’ve researched some angles that better conform to aerodynamics and fluid dynamics.”
“It’s a deal, but I have a request,” Song Shuhang said tactfully. “Could Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue demonstrate it to me first? That’s how Sixteen taught me. She first demonstrated it a few times, then taught me the principles behind the technique. In this way, I would be able to quickly learn the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ faster.”
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue slightly smiled. “Why not? I can show you the wonders of the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ from a different angle.”
Next, Venerable snapped his fingers.
In the following moment, Song Shuhang’s and Su Clan’s Sixteen’s vision darkened, turning bright right after. The duo then found themselves in a large stone chamber.
“I believe that little friend Shuhang shouldn’t be a stranger to this phenomenon, right? This is my illusory reality, the ancient tomb world,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said. He heard in the group that Song Shuhang had experienced Venerable White’s illusory reality quite a number of times.
After saying that, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue stretched his hand out once again, and tens of golden-haired beauties appeared in the air.
These golden-haired beauties were all wearing long light green skirts, which had a butterfly embroidered onto them. Their long hair was like golden silk, shining brightly.
“Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue?” Song Shuhang looked at these golden-haired beauties, and found that they were all Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue!
“Indeed. Now, they will be demonstrating the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ for little friend Shuhang. To a certain extent, Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue is also a part of this Venerable; as such, her demonstrating the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ is the same as this Venerable personally demonstrating it. If you feel that Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue isn’t to your taste, I still have Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue. But Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue is a jade white lion, and not a person, so it isn’t really suited to demonstrate the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ for you,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said with a slight smile.
Younger people couldn’t match up to older ones when it came to experience!
In the next moment, inside the ‘illusory reality’, tens of [Sixth Cultivators of True Virtue] all brought out an illusory treasured saber, starting to use the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯ to soar upwards.
The world really only appreciated one’s looks. When the red-haired Spiritual Emperor used the ❮Blade Dragging Technique❯, he looked terrible. But when Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue used it, she gave the onlookers a pleasant feeling.
