Even after paying the price, there was a way to redeem it... the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber was simply the go-to item when it came to transcending the heavenly tribulation!

In the video, the young Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue asked, ”Senior Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue, did you also fail to transcend the tribulation and end up staying in this place?”

”That’s not the case!” True Monarch Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue shook his head and said with a smile, ”What I left inside this grave is a special type of clone. Back then, my main body was able to successfully transcend the tribulation and reach the Sixth Stage Realm. At the same time, I managed to refine the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber and increase its strength to the Sixth Stage. After that, I left the saber in the care of the Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue. You can say that I retired after completing my mission.”

The following words were inscribed on the signboard in the chamber tomb: ’Here lies the body of True Monarch Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue’. It seemed that the ’body’ True Monarch Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue was talking about was precisely this ’special clone’.

Anyway, even if he couldn’t rely on the ’Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’ anymore, True Monarch Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue still possessed the complete version of the ❮Nine Transformations Phoenix Technique❯. Unless he died in the meantime due to some unfortunate circumstances, he should have already reached the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm or an even higher realm.

”Such being the case, youngster, do you want to sign the contract?” True Monarch Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue asked once again.

In the video, the young Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue pondered about the matter for a long time.

”I accept. I’ll sign the contract.” In the end, he made up his mind and decided to inherit the ’Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’ dao name and become the new owner of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.

Nowadays, that youngster that took the name of ’Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’ had already reached the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm and was only one step away from breaking through the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm. The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber in his possession was also on the verge of reaching the eighth transformation.

At this time, the video the precious stone was projecting came to an end.

Song Shuhang shot a glance at the golden-haired woman... It seems that Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue also failed to transcend her tribulation. As a consequence, her strength fell until reaching the Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm once more...

Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue also looked at Song Shuhang and asked, ”Such being the case, do you want to sign the contract and become the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue?”

Song Shuhang pondered for a little while and asked, ”Senior Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, aside from the many benefits, what are the disadvantages of inheriting the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber?”

This primordial treasure granted so many benefits, but what were the disadvantages and shortcomings?

Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue shook her head and said, ”Maybe it has some shortcomings, but I don’t remember finding any while I was the master of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber. However, each time the owner of the saber faces the heavenly tribulation, it would end up being slightly stronger than normal. I guess it can be counted as a shortcoming?”

”I see. In that case, Senior Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, how do we sign the contract?” Song Shuhang asked.

Having to face a slightly strengthened heavenly tribulation was not even worth mentioning if one could obtain a complete cultivation technique that could allow them to reach Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender Realm plus the experiences of the previous owners of the saber!

Since the day he decided to step on the road of cultivation, Song Shuhang had prepared himself to face death. If he couldn’t even take such a small risk, he might as well return home and keep living the life of an ordinary person.

”I knew you would choose to sign the contract,” Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said with a gentle smile. Then, she stretched out her hand and took out a scroll-shaped object from her clothes.

After she unfurled the scroll, the dense and numerous characters written above were fully displayed in front of Song Shuhang. Most of them were names.

The column of the ’Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue’ was likewise full of dao names.

Amongst the numerous dao names, Song Shuhang found three of them rather familiar.

Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Immortal Master Copper Trigram, and Cave Lord Snow Wolf.

These three seniors had once entered the grave of True Monarch Fifth Cultivator of True Virtue together to explore it.

After seeing all these names, Song Shuhang was clear as to what was going on. All the people that had left their names on the scroll were offering themselves as candidates for the position of ’Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue’.

Once Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue was done transcending the tribulation, successfully reaching the Eighth Stage Profound Sage Realm, he would choose the ’Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue’ from the several candidates and entrust them with the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.

Just as Song Shuhang picked the brush up and prepared to write his name on the scroll, another name suddenly appeared on it; the handwriting was delicate and beautiful.

It was Chu Chu’s name.

Miss Chu Chu also decided to vie for the position of Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue?

It’s not really that surprising. Compared to myself, who can rely on the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Miss Chu Chu should be more interested in the volume of the ❮Nine Transformations Phoenix Technique❯.

Song Shuhang faintly smiled and picked the brush up, writing down his name, ’Song Shuhang’, on the scroll.

”Done,” Song Shuhang said as he placed the brush down.

”Leave the rest to me,” Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue said as she stretched her hand out, preparing to take the scroll back from Song Shuhang.

But right at this time, the words ’Song Shuhang’ written on the scroll suddenly disappeared.

A confused expression flashed through Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s golden eyes. ”Eh?”

”What happened?” Song Shuhang asked.

Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue asked, ”Did you make a mistake while writing your name?”

”No, I didn’t make a mistake. I correctly wrote my name, ’Song Shuhang’, on it,” Song Shuhang said. He had written his name tens of thousands of time. How could he possibly make a mistake while writing it?

Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s golden eyelashes blinked. Then, she said, ”Do you have a dao name? Maybe try to write your dao name and see what happens?”

”My dao name? Alright. Do I need to write it down in its entirety?” Song Shuhang asked.

Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue replied, ”A dao name must be obviously written down in its entirety.”

Song Shuhang nodded and picked up the brush once more, starting to write a long string of words on the scroll.

He started with Monday’s dao name, Virtuous Buddhist Sabersman, and wrote down in proper order the following dao names... Tuesday’s Tyrannical Saber Song One, Wednesday’s Daoist Priest Wood, Thursday’s Baijing Street’s Traveling Sabersman, Friday’s Scholar Mountain of Books, Saturday’s Path-seeking Scholar, and Sunday’s Virtuous Cultivator.

”...” Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.

Dammit, I forgot that this idiot had seven dao names. Now, he alone occupied seven columns...

”I’m done, Senior,” Song Shuhang said as he placed the brush down.

But just as he placed the brush down, the dao names he had written on the scroll started to disappear one after another. Virtuous Cultivator, Path-seeking Scholar, Scholar Mountain of Books, and Baijing Street’s Traveling Sabersman disappeared one after another...

In the end, the only dao name left behind was—Tyrannical Saber Song One.

”...” Song Shuhang.

What’s the meaning of this?

Is it possible that the will of the world only recognized ’Tyrannical Saber Song One’ amongst my several dao names? But why did it refuse to acknowledge even my real name, ’Song Shuhang’?

Do you really think I won’t flip the table at this time?! Tyrannical Saber Song One is just a dao name that I added for Senior White’s sake to make up the numbers! I was planning to quietly delete it in a while!

┻━┻︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

”Tyrannical Saber Song One, what a good dao name!” Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue praised. But her trembling golden eyelashes betrayed her true feelings.

”...” Song Shuhang managed to stop himself with great difficulty from tearing the scroll to shreds.

Next, Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue stretched out her hand and took back the scroll, putting it away after rolling it up. ”The contract is complete!”

There was a strange fate between her and this little friend named Song Shuhang. It would be rather interesting if he could become the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue someday in the future...

But right after Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue rolled the scroll up, half of the dao name ’Tyrannical Saber Song One’ disappeared.

The first part, ’Tyrannical Saber’, disappeared and only the second part, ’Song One’, was left behind.

Neither Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue nor Song Shuhang noticed this fact.

After completing her mission, Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue stretched herself. Afterward, she shot a glance at Song Shuhang, seemingly remembering something.

Song Shuhang’s true qi had suddenly increased after he passed through the branch road of the ancient grave. Now, he was in a situation where his body could explode at any time.

She had to find a way to resolve the situation before making him leave the ancient grave because his body might explode for real once it wasn’t affected by suppressive formations inside the ancient grave anymore...
