Chapter 2402 Is This World Swelling Up?
Immortal Fairy White Bones dispelled the secret technique of the White Bone Giant and stowed away her twin hammers. She closely trailed behind the radiant stream of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Combined Magical Treasure toward the depths of the ocean.
As the battle rush wore off, waves of information flooded her senses. This was all the accumulated broadcast information of this year's Profound Sage Speeches.
For over a year, Immortal Fairy White Bones had been engaged in a relentless battle with King Kun. She couldn't afford to divert her attention to watch the live broadcasts of the Profound Sage Speeches. Only today, after King Kun had retreated far away and Immortal Fairy White Bones had the leeway to calm down, she received numerous broadcasts of the Profound Sage Speeches.
"Hmm, why are there so many?" As she began to receive the broadcasts of the Profound Sage Speeches, Immortal Fairy White Bones was taken aback. She had received sixteen broadcasts in one go!
Profound Sages, who hadn't appeared for nearly a thousand years, seemed to be popping up like ripe carrots this year. They were all prominent speeches.
"Sixteen Profound Sages appearing in just over a year? Even in ancient times, this was unheard of," Immortal Fairy White Bones mused.
Even in ancient times, there was a period when Profound Sages appeared frequently, but it was still only three or four Profound Sages in a year. It was a far cry from the surplus of Prominent Divine Profound Sages this year.
...
...
"Has the world of cultivation turned on its head?" Immortal Fairy White Bones flew towards the ocean floor while rapidly receiving the contents of the Profound Sage Speeches.
As an Immortal, she could perform some advanced operations while watching the Profound Sage Speeches. For example, she could speed up the broadcast by ten or even a hundredfold. It allowed her to watch the speeches in the shortest amount of time possible. With the potent mental energy of Immortals, even at a hundred times speed, it wouldn't affect their comprehension of the speech.
However, when Fairy White Bones received the first Profound Sage Speech, she couldn't help but exclaim.
The first Sage in a thousand years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, took the stage to display his divinity and give a speech.
However, four Profound Sages were actually displaying their divinity together.
Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, Profound Sage Seven Lives Talisman, Profound Sage Eternity, and Profound Sage Horizon.
Four Profound Sages were on the same stage, with Profound Sage Tyrannical Song at the center standing tall and proud. Behind him, two Profound Sages were crouching with their hands on their heads, while the other one kneeled with hands on his head. It was unclear what kind of special formation they were in.
"What's going on? Why are four Profound Sages displaying their divinity together? Could it be... an attempt to face a tribulation together?" Immortal Fairy White Bones speculated.
However, forming a group to face a tribulation would mean their bodies would perish, and their Dao would dissipate!
As she pondered, the divinity display gradually zoomed in. Behind the first Sage in a thousand years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, was a lifelike lamia composed of virtue.
"Fairy @#%×!" Immortal Fairy White Bones almost thought her vision was ailing.
The beauty of the ancient Heavenly City, the publicly acclaimed beauty of that time... In terms of beauty and demeanor, not many fairies in the ancient Heavenly City could compare.
Why had Fairy @#%× become the light of virtue for Profound Sage Tyrannical Song?
What exactly had happened this year? It felt like the world had undergone significant changes.
Just as she was thinking, the divinity display screen descended once more and revealed the face of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, who had awed the myriad worlds.
Immortal Fairy White Bones couldn't help but exclaim, "Pfft~ Slow-Witted Song!"
However, after taking a closer look, she immediately realized something was amiss. He didn't look like Slow-Witted Song at all.
At first glance, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song resembled Slow-Witted Song, but upon closer inspection, they were entirely different.
"I must have been mistaken." Immortal Fairy White Bones thought to herself.
Perhaps she had been thinking of Slow-Witted Song the whole time, so when she saw Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, she mistook him for someone else.
After the four sages had completed their divinity display, the first Sage in a thousand years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, began his speech.
As soon as he started speaking, Immortal Fairy White Bones couldn't help but burst out, "Shameless! Isn't that just Empress Cheng Lin explaining the Daoist Canon? In the past, when I interacted with Empress Cheng Lin, I heard bits and pieces of her explanations about the Daoist Canon."
"His light of virtue is Fairy @#%×, and the content of the speech is Empress Cheng Lin's script. Could this first Sage in a thousand years, Tyrannical Song, be Empress Cheng Lin's backup plan?" Immortal Fairy White Bones speculated as she flew towards the ocean floor.
In the subsequent three Profound Sage Speeches, except for Profound Sage Eternity, who seemed to be courting trouble, the others behaved relatively well.
After quickly scanning through the speeches of the other three Sages, Immortal Fairy White Bones continued to open the fifth Profound Sage Speech.
The fifth Profound Sage, Sage Monarch Winter Melon, was a well-behaved Sage. He didn't form a group to face a tribulation. Instead, he focused on the path of defense.
The defense path didn't resonate with White Bones Immortal Fairy, so she quickly swept it aside once more.
Then, she brought up the speech of the Sixth Profound Sage, the popular Sage White.
Just as Immortal Fairy White Bones was about to watch Sage White's speech, an entrance to a small world opened in front of her.
A masked man walked out of the small world with a long-legged fairy and greeted them.
Immortal Fairy White Bones looked at the man with joy.
However, just as she opened her mouth, she paused.
Because the man in front of her wasn't Slow-Witted Song.
Immortal Fairy White Bones frowned and stared at the man in front of her.
Song Shuhang slightly lifted the mask on his face to reveal the lower half of his face. He smiled at Immortal Fairy White Bones. "Hello, Fairy White Bones."
"Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar, Ancient Sage Tyrant Dragon, Sage Monarch Tyrant Demon"
Four prestigious Sage Names appeared on Song Shuhang's body.
The reason he revealed his Sage Name was to remind Immortal Fairy White Bones that he was Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, not Slow-Witted Song.
Profound Sage Tyrannical Song?" Immortal Fairy White Bones furrowed her brow.
What was with the four Sage Names?
Her consciousness quickly pulled up the list of all the Profound Sage Speech broadcasts she hadn't finished watching. As expected, among the next dozen or so broadcasts, she found Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar, Ancient Sage Tyrant Dragon, and the most recent one, Sage Monarch Tyrant Demon.
This guy showed his divinity four times?
What was this?
What had happened to the world in just a year?
After seeing that Immortal Fairy White Bones had already recognized his Daoist name and wouldn't touch him again, Song Shuhang smiled and opened his mouth to speak.
"I am Tyrannical Song, eighteen years old. If I have offended you in any way, why don't you come and beat me up?" Right at that moment, Fairy Creation, who was already prepared, jumped out and quickly snatched Song Shuhang's lines.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
Fairy Creation made a victory gesture and said, "Taadaa!"
The scene was deathly silent.
There was a long pause.
"Your pendant is very unique." Immortal Fairy White Bones forced herself to praise him.
"Thank you," Song Shuhang calmly replied.
Then, there was another bout of silence.
There was a long pause.
Immortal Fairy White Bones couldn't help but ask, "Um, may I ask... Is Slow-Witted Song here?"
If you're looking for Slow-Witted Song, unfortunately, he's not here." At that moment, Song Shuhang's hair spun leisurely on top of his head and replied.
"Pavilion Master Chu's hair?" Fairy White Bones said in surprise.
Pavilion Master Chu reached out and supported her. Fairy White Bone was currently in an extremely weak state after the eruption of power. Moreover, she didn't have any intention of resisting, so she allowed Pavilion Master Chu to string her up.
A moment later, Fairy White Bones went slack…She had fainted.
Song Shuhang was speechless.
