Cultivation Chat Group

After pondering the possibility of “exploiting the loophole in the Heavenly Dao,” Song Shuhang contacted Senior White and Senior White Two.

The concept of “two different beings proving the Dao and becoming immortal simultaneously” was a clue left by Heavenly Dao White after his near-transcendence.

Later, Senior White Two left this clue as “homework” for Song Shuhang, asking him to think about how “two different beings could prove the Dao simultaneously.”

Now that Song Shuhang had a lead, he remembered the “homework” and decided it was time to turn it in.

He opened the “Cultivator Chat System,” pulled up Senior White and Senior White Two from his friend list, and created a temporary discussion group.

The system notified him: *[Pet owner (text blurred, crossed out) close friend]White Two and [Admin]White have joined the temporary discussion group!*

“Done with the resurrection?” asked the present-world Senior White.

“What’s up?” inquired Senior White Two.

The new Heavenly Dao proving his Dao was such a significant event that even the dormant Senior White Two had been awakened. Normally, Senior White Two, who experienced intermittent bouts of drowsiness, would sleep for extended periods. But this time, his drowsiness had been forcibly dispelled. Because of his poor sleep, his mental state was a bit unstable.

Song Shuhang replied, “Present-world Senior White, I’m still in the process of resurrecting—just a little longer, and I’ll be done. No need to worry. As for Nine Serenities Senior White, I do have something to report.”

“What kind of ridiculous titles are those?” Senior White Two retorted, clearly displeased.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

Driven by a strong survival instinct, Song Shuhang had deliberately chosen to distinguish between the two Senior Whites by adding geographic descriptors, the most ordinary and non-confrontational way to differentiate them!

Currently, as his “Indestructible Whale Gold Core” hadn’t yet restored his resurrection cooldown, Song Shuhang’s survival instincts were terrifyingly strong. There was no way he would dare to call them “White Two” or “White Yoohoo!”

“Titles should indeed be distinct,” said Senior White after a brief thought. “You don’t need to add ‘present-world’ for me, but you can add ‘Nine Serenities’ when referring to Nine Serenities White.”

Senior White Two was speechless.

If it weren’t for his sleep deprivation and poor mental state, he would have immediately argued with the present-world White.

Senior White continued, “Does this sudden Dao-proving by the Confucian Daoist have anything to do with you, Shuhang?”

Song Shuhang nodded, “Yes, it should be related to the ritual held by the Northern Emperor, Daoist Red Scarf, and Cheng Goudan using the ‘Heavenly Court fragments’ within my Core World. However, I don’t know how they managed to elevate Daoist Senior to the position of the Immortal Heavenly Dao.”

After a brief pause, Senior White said, “So, the Confucian Daoist didn’t undergo a regular ‘Dao-proving,’ but instead took some kind of shortcut. White, has there been any activity on the Nine Serenities side?”

Under normal circumstances, once the Dao-proving process was completed, a corresponding “Nine Serenities Ruler” would emerge from the source of the Nine Serenities World!

The Heavenly Dao and the Nine Serenities Ruler share all memories before the Dao-proving. However, the Nine Serenities Ruler’s personality might change in the future due to the influence of the Nine Serenities’ source.

“There’s been some movement, which is why I’m a bit busy,” said Senior White Two.

Song Shuhang was puzzled, “I checked through Song Youyou, but I didn’t sense anything wrong in the Nine Serenities? There’s no movement in the source either.”

“That’s because you’re not me,” Senior White Two replied.

Song Shuhang was confused.

“The movement in the Nine Serenities is something only I can clearly sense. After all, I’ve been entangled with it for so long,” Senior White Two explained without further delay, “It’s Fat Ball… My instincts tell me that Fat Ball might be about to resurrect, reuniting the shattered sphere.”

Song Shuhang was startled. “Fat Ball is going to resurrect?”

He was still traumatized when it came to Fat Ball.

Upon hearing this news, the hair on his arms stood on end.

Moreover… why would Daoist Senior’s Dao-proving lead to Fat Ball’s resurrection?

Did the script get mixed up somewhere?

Shouldn’t there be a Daoist Two Ruler?

“Could Daoist Senior be Fat Ball’s backup plan?”

“No, Daoist Senior is the leader of the Confucian Thirteen Tribulation Immortals—there’s no way he’s Fat Ball’s backup plan.”

“It must be an issue with the Ancient Heavenly Court fragments.”

With his Immortal-level computational power, Song Shuhang quickly pulled out every clue related to the “thread” in his mind.

Ancient Heavenly Court fragments, the Dao of the Heavenly Dao, Fat Ball’s backup plan to complete itself, and the fact that Fairy Cheng Lin, the Northern Emperor, and others used the Heavenly Court fragments to push Daoist Senior into the position of Heavenly Dao. Moreover, the fact that the Nine Serenities didn’t produce a “Daoist Ruler,” but instead, the shattered Fat Ball is now reuniting.

One by one, the clues were pulled out, and Song Shuhang’s mind formed a clear conjecture.

His guess was probably very close to the truth.

“I’ll confirm this with Cheng Goudan later.”

As he thought about this, Song Shuhang replied to Senior White Two, “So, Senior White, are you trying to stop Fat Ball from resurrecting?”

“No,” Senior White Two replied seriously, “I’m looting Fat Ball’s inheritance.”

Song Shuhang was confused.

Senior White Two explained, “Since Fat Ball was thoroughly finished, I knew about its inheritance, but I wasn’t particularly interested in taking it. I thought I’d leave it for your Song Youyou to play a treasure hunt game with when you had the time.”

Song Shuhang was startled.

“But now that Fat Ball might reunite the shattered sphere at any moment, I need to raid its inheritance grounds before it recovers. I’ll leave it a note reminding it that I borrowed all the treasures, with an infinite-year repayment period,” Senior White Two added mischievously.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

At this point, he couldn’t help but touch his chest, which had already started to heal, feeling his heartbeat up close.

Listen, does the sound of his glass heart beating have a hint of heartbreak?

Overlord Song felt like he had lost another billion today.

Fat Ball’s inheritance left in the Nine Serenities, and several of them at that!

If he had raided them all, it might have been enough to pay off his massive debt to Senior White… But now, they all belonged to someone with the last name “White.”

“Oh, right, what did you want to say when you added us? I’m pretty busy right now, so make it quick,” Senior White Two urged.

He was currently sleep-deprived, mentally exhausted, and still had to force his fatigued body to raid Fat Ball’s inheritance and lair—such a tiring task.

“I came to turn in my homework, Senior White,” Song Shuhang replied.

“What homework?” Senior White Two asked, confused.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

Senior White Two, you assigned me this homework, and you actually forgot about it?
