Chapter 1909: A missed battle of fate
The ability to enter a dreamland was Song Shuhang’s most powerful innate ability. Every time it triggered, the reasons behind it would be different; it was an especially willful ability.
Every time he entered a dreamland, Song Shuhang would gain some experience. Even during the time that he had had to live through many years as Lady Onion, he had at least gotten to hone his will, laying the foundation for his will to become as firm as steel.
In recent times, Song Shuhang had gotten in contact with a lot of big shots, items, and even the heavenly tribulation. The number of things that could allow him to enter a dreamland was not small. As such, he had already prepared himself for something like this happening.
However, it was truly lucky of him to be able to enter the dreamland of Young Master Hai’s life—what Song Shuhang wanted to know the most at the moment was information on Young Master Hai, and perhaps he could get just the information he needed through this dreamland.
He really had to thank Senior White’s clone for the hypnotic smoke bomb just now.
Judging from what he had seen since he entered the dreamland, the time point in this dreamland should be the time when Young Master Hai transcended the Fifth Stage heavenly tribulation, went into seclusion to consolidate his realm, and finally left his seclusion.
The eight-dragon-patterned Golden Core signified that Young Master Hai would have the potential to reach the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm in the future.
Moreover, Song Shuhang remembered that Demon Emperor Hezhi also seemed to have stepped onto his path with an eight-dragon-patterned Golden Core. Despite many not having been optimistic about him, he still managed to forge his own path to immortality and become the Great Emperor of the demonic sects.
Demon Emperor Hezhi had eight dragon patterns, and Young Master Hai also had eight dragon patterns. Moreover, Young Master Hai seemed to have received the inheritance of Demon Emperor Hezhi. There appeared to be several points of interest here.
If Young Master Hai managed to slowly and safely increase his strength, would he be able to become a second Demon Emperor Hezhi?

During his time in the dreamland, Song Shuhang experienced the excitement that Young Master Hai felt when he ascended and acquired eight dragon patterns.
This kind of excitement was one that Song Shuhang understood very well—this was the same excitement he felt when his life-bound Golden Core was painted on by Senior White Two and made to have nine dragon patterns.
Unfortunately… Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Originally, he planned on looking for Young Master Hai after reaching the Fifth Stage to confront him and have a serious battle with him to end the karma between them. With the premise that both parties were at the Fifth Stage, this battle would have been a battle of fate.
But in the end, he had been careless and ascended to the Sixth Stage before being able to have a duel with Young Master Hai. Now, even if he were to go and fight Young Master Hai, there would be no sense of fatedness, and it could not even be called a duel.
In the dreamland, Young Master Hai waved his hand gently and put away the formations and other items he had set up for his seclusion.
Young Master Hai said softly, “Eh? Another Profound Sage has emerged?”
In the past 1,000 years, there had been no Profound Sages appearing… yet Profound Sages began appearing in droves in the current year, a harbinger of a prosperous but dangerous era to come.
The Divinity Show and the Profound Sage Speech were for the benefit of the universe.
As such, Young Master Hai would obviously not want to miss such a precious opportunity.
Although he had been tricked by Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’s second account, Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar, before, he did not believe that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song would be able to show his divinity another time.
Therefore, Young Master Hai chose to watch the Divinity Show and the Profound Sage Speech.
“Huh? Why isn’t it a Profound Sage? What’s an Ancient Sage?” Young Master Hai continued. “Moreover, there’s more than a single senior at the Eighth Stage who seems to be appearing.”
The first to appear was Ancient Sage Doudou. After him came Ancient Sage Spirit Butterfly, and then Ancient Sage Yinzhu, who was lying asleep.
Eh? It’s actually our Ancient Sage Speech. Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Young Master Hai watched the wonderful lectures of the two Ancient Sages one after the other.
At this time, another Ancient Sage appeared, and it was the one who appeared for the finale… Ancient Sage Tyrannical Dragon!
Young Master Hai could not help but tremble violently when he saw this familiar yet unfamiliar young Song Shuhang.
The pressure was immense, and his heart fell into turmoil.
This guy has done it again. Does he not want to let other people live?
A deep resentment formed in Young Master Hai’s heart.
And Song Shuhang, who was in the dreamland state, naturally felt the deep resentment that was born in Young Master Hai’s heart.
How should he describe how he felt?
It was complicated and novel.
Young Master Hai was his enemy, and if the enemy held resentment toward him, it should be a good thing.
How could they be considered a qualified enemy otherwise?
Am I someone you don’t want to see, want to hack to death, and resent the most?
If your answer to all of the above is “yes,” then congratulations! You barely qualify to be my enemy.
Having said that, had Young Master Hai, his mortal enemy, done a good job?
Well, truthfully speaking, ever since the beginning, I’ve never taken the initiative to look for trouble with Young Master Hai. Every time, it’s he that comes to find fault with me. Why does he hold such great resentment toward me?
Normally, I should be the one filled with resentment and looking to trouble him!
❄️❄️❄️
Young Master Hai silently finished watching the Ancient Sage Speeches.
A while later.
“All I did was go into a seclusion for half a year and broke through to the Fifth Stage Realm. It’s obviously such a short period of time, yet why have so many changes occurred?” Young Master Hai sighed deeply. “I really can’t afford to provoke him anymore. Should I go into hiding?”
He lowered his head and looked at the demonic pattern on his hand. [Profound Sage Tyrannical Song has started moving. It seems that it would be best for me to give up on my current identity as Young Master Hai.]
“It appears I’ll have to get rid of this physical body, Young Master Hai’s identity, as well as a portion of my soul impurities,” he said softly. “When the time comes, this clone will just have to tide me over with the tribulation that is Tyrannical Song.”
Song Shuhang responded, “Huh?”
Did I just get myself some valuable information?
At this time, Young Master Hai slowly took out his life-bound flying sword. There was a blood-red strand that was akin to a flood dragon hidden within its blade.
This life-bound flying sword incorporated the life-bound Blood God Saber that he obtained after sacrificing all the members of the Moon Saber Sect.
“Let’s transform together,” Young Master Hai said slowly. “I want to cast you into my life-bound demonic god pillar and turn you into a sword-shaped demonic god pillar.”
Nobody had ever said that a demonic god pillar could not take on the shape of a sword!
A sword and a demon pillar fused into one, this was Young Master Hai’s idea.
In the end, Young Master Hai rode on the sword and headed back to the Limitless Demon Sect.
Casting his life-bound flying sword into a demonic god pillar? Then, could I also use a demonic god pillar to make a treasured saber or sword? Song Shuhang was greatly inspired by Young Master Hai’s idea. He felt that inspiration was constantly pouring into his mind.
❄️❄️❄️
For a period of time after that, Young Master Hai quietly stayed inside the Limitless Demon Sect.
He wholeheartedly focused on forging his life-bound flying sword into a life-bound demonic god pillar.
Song Shuhang, who was experiencing the process in the dreamland, silently took notes.
The knowledge of how to build a demonic god pillar was exactly what he lacked.
Taking advantage of the dreamland, he just so happened to be able to acquire this knowledge. When the time came, the demonic god pillars in his illusory reality might just be able to advance further.
Perhaps he could even turn the demonic god pillars into sabers or swords.
While he was dwelling on his thoughts, Young Master Hai’s “life” suddenly began to speed up.
While he was making the life-bound flying sword into a life-bound demonic god pillar, it was as if a fast-forward button had been pushed, and the experiences sped up in Song Shuhang’s eyes.
In the end, the scene settled on one at the bottom of the sea.
Young Master Hai stood quietly on a sunken ship, looking up at the sky.
“Brr, it’s so cold,” Young Master Hai murmured. “Next, I’ll have to look for a way to have Tyrannical Song look for me.”
From the looks of things, this appeared to be the clone that Young Master Hai had chosen to face Song Shuhang.
