Unlike the Time River in my cognition, composed of ‘past, present, future.’

This time, what he saw was a ‘Time River’ that spread out like a sea urchin ball, with himself and Dark Song as the nodes.

“Is this thing the Time River? Or is it a time sea urchin?”

Song Shuhang was also puzzled in his heart.

But precisely at this moment, he could clearly understand that this urchin-like, sea-urchin-shaped thing was the Time River!

To understand is to understand, without even a reason why.

It’s just too vague…

Even if he strained all his ‘Sub-Immortal’ eyeballs, it still felt like looking at flowers through fog, like being severely nearsighted.

“Perhaps, I need a lens?”

Like the monocular that Senior Three-Eyes wore, snapped onto the forehead—doesn’t that seem interesting?

While thinking this, Song Shuhang tried several more times, not willing to give up just yet.

But no matter how he operated his abilities, the limit of what Sub-Immortal eyes could see was only this much.

“If it’s just like this… it’s completely meaningless.”

Explaining things seen in a fog could only be done by one’s own imagination, or by wild guessing; it’s as unreliable as a low-end divination.

After having executed all of his meager methods, Song Shuhang finally gave up.

For now, it seems that being able to see a mosaic version of a sea urchin ball-shaped Time River is the limit of a ‘mortal’ like himself.

If he wanted to see more and further, he must ascend another level or rely on some other external force.

Depending on external forces is not something to be ashamed of.

Just like how humans became the top of the food chain after learning to use various tools, external forces can make one stronger.

In this regard, Tyrannical Song’s thoughts were especially clear.

As if sensing his thought… at his waist, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber vibrated slightly.

Although it too was a primordial treasure, unlike the ‘big-eyed planet,’ the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber needed to be refined by one generation of ‘Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue’ after another, undergoing the Eighth Revolution before it could achieve perfect form.

Moreover, it was also the ‘escape plan’ of the Wielder of the Will Striped Dragon. The third-generation Heavenly Dao was able to free itself from the Heavenly Dao seat with its help.

This time, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber took the initiative to chime, urging Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang’s thought moved.

He laid his hand on the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, and with a slide, a thousand cycles of the Saber-Nurturing Technique fell—incidentally, he didn’t play favorites, as his other hand also delivered a thousand cycles to Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword.

One must not forget old friends.

One can’t forget the old saber when a new one comes along.

In the next moment, the three of them entered the supreme saber mode of ‘human-saber fusion’ with practiced ease.

The saber is me, I am the saber, and still, I am me.

Scarlet Heaven Sword: “…”

What are you doing? Why drag me into it again?

Haven’t you seen how silent I’ve been today?

All the high-level events that occurred today felt out of its league.

As a ‘divine weapon,’ it felt like it had no place to intervene.

So unusually for today, it maintained silence, not even jabbing at Shuhang’s heart.

But when it came to a critical moment, Shuhang wouldn’t let it be, insisting on including it in the ‘human-saber fusion’ with the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.

Now, Tyrannical Song was simultaneously in ‘human-saber fusion’ with two weapons, which was frankly terrible.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword panicked, “My instinct tells me that the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber needs your assistance right now.” Song Shuhang’s thought came through.

In human-saber fusion state, thoughts and spirit were in unison.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s inner complaints would also be reflected back to Song Shuhang.

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber had not yet completed its final refinement, so it needed external assistance to activate certain functions.

At this moment, the best help for the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber from Song Shuhang was none other than Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword who was also a ‘saber’.

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber thrummed excitedly, seemingly agreeing with Tyrannical Song’s statement.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword: “…”

Well, considering the pleasurable one thousand casts of the Saber-Nurturing Technique just now, it wouldn’t stand idly by if it needed to help later.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “What are you planning to do next?”

“I don’t know.” Song Shuhang frankly replied.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword: “???”

You don’t know?

Then what are you doing with that hammer!

“But the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber should know what to do,” Song Shuhang added.

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber continued to thrum excitedly.

However, it didn’t have the capability to speak like Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, and even in human-saber fusion mode, Song Shuhang and Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword couldn’t understand what it was trying to say.

Just then, Father Goudan gave a hint: “Continue with your soulless ‘Saber-Nurturing Technique’.”

Although soulless, Tyrannical Song’s Saber-Nurturing Technique was genuinely effective.

It had an outstanding effect in nurturing magical treasures.

Following Father Goudan’s reminder, Song Shuhang immediately reached out and placed his hands on the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber and Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, with the glow on his hands flickering continuously.

The high-frequency flickering made the faint glow of the Saber-Nurturing Technique dazzling.

Moreover, due to the ‘Sub-immortality’ of Song Shuhang’s whole body, each cast of his Saber-Nurturing Technique carried a trace of immortal information.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword could clearly feel the difference—it felt like it was about to break through its limit once again, even though it was already at the ‘Divine Weapon Limit’!

This kind of limit breakthrough, it had felt once before—when it evolved from a normal ‘sword’ form and developed a young girl’s head plus a giant sword form.

And this time, the feeling was even stronger.

It felt like it was about to break through the limitations of ‘saber and sword,’ to transcend the framework of being just a ‘weapon,’ and to enter an entirely new realm!

If this continues, what exactly will I become?

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s heart fluttered with both trepidation and anticipation.

In worlds across several planes,

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven suddenly felt a movement in his heart, and he couldn’t help but stand up—Scarlet Heaven Sword was his life-bound magical treasure, and any change would provoke a reaction from Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven.

“Scarlet Heaven Sword, is it evolving?” murmured Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven.

The Scarlet Heaven Sword, being at the limit of ‘Immortal Divine Weapon,’ shouldn’t have any room for evolution—because the next step up would be a primordial treasure.

But a primordial treasure could not be forged by anyone other than the Heavenly Dao.

Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven began to calculate with his fingers.

Soon, he arrived at a conclusion.

The change in Scarlet Heaven Sword wasn’t an evolution towards a primordial treasure, but rather a different kind of evolution?

…

…

“I’m about to start evolving,” Scarlet Heaven Sword said to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang nodded, “Yes, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, I’ve sensed it too.”

“What will I evolve into?” Scarlet Heaven Sword asked with a mix of anticipation and worry.

Song Shuhang was silent for a long time before he said, “Perhaps… you might evolve into a Saber woman?”

He remembered that his Saber-Nurturing Technique came from that giant ancestor, whose ultimate goal was to nurture a saber into a Saber woman.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword: “…”

Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber: “Buzz buzz buzz～”

Song Shuhang remained silent, but the frequency at which he used the Saber-Nurturing Technique clearly sped up a notch.

“Wouldn’t a ‘Saber lad’ be okay?” After a while, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword suddenly asked.

It didn’t even ask about being a ‘Sword lad,’ but was willing to change to a saber, which was a huge concession on its part.

Song Shuhang thought for a moment and said, “Maybe ‘Saber lad’ might infringe on copyright?”

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword: “…”

If it really turned into a Saber woman, it might die of embarrassment at the hands of Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven.

“Is the process of evolution irreversible?” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword couldn’t let go and asked.

After thinking it over, Song Shuhang said, “I’m sorry Senior, this Saber-Nurturing Technique isn’t originally mine. How about we stop ‘evolving’ and call it quits here?”

Although he really wanted to see what Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword would look like as a Saber woman, such things should ultimately depend on Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s own will.

After all, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword had always taken good care of him.

“Let’s evolve,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword made its final decision.

Not a single sword or other immortal divine weapons could resist the temptation of evolving to ‘break through their limits’!

Especially for a sword like Scarlet Heaven Sword that was at the ‘immortal divine weapon limit.’

Just like cultivators trapped at a limiting realm unable to break through, Scarlet Heaven Sword felt uncomfortable when stuck at a level and unable to advance an inch.

“Since that’s the case, please forgive my offense, Senior!” Song Shuhang immediately erupted with full hand speed.

With his current realm and ‘Sub-immortal’ Reinforcement, once his hand speed was fully unleashed, just by the act of stroking, he could flatten the world’s tallest peak in an instant!

For cultivators whose strength wasn’t enough, the caress of a top-tier expert was fatally tempting!

Currently, both Scarlet Heaven Sword and Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber were ablaze with fire out of nowhere.

That was the spark of Song Shuhang’s excessively fast hand speed.

“He’s gone completely crazy,” the three-eyed young senior commented.

“Actually, I’m quite tempted to try this exaggerated speed of the Saber-Nurturing Technique,” the Heavenly Emperor’s offspring suddenly said.

Father Goudan: “!!!”

From the words of the Heavenly Emperor’s offspring, had she endured the Saber-Nurturing Technique before?

Song Goudan, what have you done to Dada Egg?

“The transformation has begun,” Senior White said quietly as he gently pushed the wriggling Meteor Sword back to his waist.

As he spoke, the flames on Scarlet Heaven Sword and the light from the Saber-Nurturing Technique merged into a huge halo, enveloping both Scarlet Heaven Sword and Song Shuhang’s palm.

Within the halo, Scarlet Heaven Sword’s form seemed to be elongating and changing shape.

“Is it really going to turn into a human?” The three-eyed young senior couldn’t help but widen his third divine eye.

“I’ve never heard of the Saber-Nurturing Technique having this effect before,” Father Goudan slowly said.

Inside the light halo, the silhouette of Scarlet Heaven Sword had outlined a ‘human’ shape!

“If… magical treasures can really be nurtured into ‘people,’ then could it be possible that the Eighth Heavenly Dao ‘fat ball’ was also a magical treasure that was cultivated?” The Heavenly Emperor’s offspring couldn’t help but speculate.

“I’ve done it, I’ve really done it!” exclaimed the joyful voice of Scarlet Heaven Sword.

It could feel that its ‘limit’ had been broken, no longer bound by the ‘Immortal Divine Weapon’ limit.

Next, it could become a tiny bit stronger.

A tiny bit stronger is still stronger!

And as if stimulated by the change in ‘Scarlet Heaven Sword’, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber beside it also refused to be outshone, bursting into a halo of light.

The three-eyed young senior chuckled to Father Goudan, “Your primordial treasure is about to change, too.”

“It’s what I expected.” Father Goudan replied calmly: “Do you think I would be worried? No, I’m not only not worried, but I’m also looking forward to it. If Tyrannical Song succeeds, I’ll have an extra Nine Virtues Phoenix Dog Egg!”

The three-eyed young senior: “…”

He could no longer understand the thought process of Father Goudan.

Heavenly Emperor’s child: “…”

She was certain that Father Goudan had become obsessed.

“Hum~” As the halo on the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber burst forth, the saber intent armor on its body began to undergo the Ninth Revolution.

During this evolution, the immortal information belonging to the ‘Heavenly Dao’ in the saber’s body was being continuously synchronized into Song Shuhang’s body.

Without needing to execute various schemes, in a state of human-saber fusion, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber actively provided Song Shuhang with the elements needed for ‘Sub-Immortalization’ upgrade.

Moreover, the ‘Heavenly Dao Immortal Information, power’ contained within the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber was incredibly abundant.

Before Striped Dragon of the Will wielded its ‘escape’, it seemed to have left a portion of its power of eternity deep within the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.

This final revolution of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber could activate this power.

These rich gifts from ‘Striped Dragon of the Will’ allowed Song Shuhang’s ‘Sub-Immortalization’ to complete the final piece of the puzzle.

Besides Tyrannical Song’s Skin, Tyrannical Song’s Bone, and Tyrannical Song’s Eye, all other ‘Tyrannical Song Components’ embarked on ‘Sub-Immortalization’ at this moment.

From inside out, he became entirely sub-immortal, flawless.

At this point, Song Shuhang had amalgamated the ‘immortal’ information of Senior Three-Eyes, Senior Striped Dragon, Dark Sun, Daoist Priest Virtue, Senior White, Fat Ball, and various other predecessors of the Heavenly Dao into one being.

And, as the last piece of the puzzle came into place, coupled with the power of the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’, the ‘sea urchin ball Time River’ scene before Song Shuhang opened up again.

This time, with the addition of the ‘Nine Cultivation Phoenix Saber Glasses’, the previously blurlike scene finally became crystal clear.

Song Shuhang gazed toward the end of time, following a ‘spike’ of the sea urchin ball.

Meanwhile, his incomplete ‘Cultivation Chat Immortal Path’ within him was stirred—watching the ‘Time River’ seemed to be a very important step in perfecting the ‘Cultivation Chat Immortal Path’.

At first glance…

Song Shuhang saw an ‘ordinary Shuhang’.

This was a Shuhang emitting the aura of an ordinary person, one who had never cultivated or come into contact with ‘cultivation’ — just Shuhang the mortal.

At this moment, this ordinary Shuhang was carrying his seriously injured father, running through an underground tunnel-like passage.

Above them, explosions sounded intermittently.

[An Shuhang that has never added Mama Yellow Mountain as a friend? And the scene before me, is it the world facing a ‘disaster’? An evil spirit’s calamity? Netherworld Realm’s invasion?]

The evil spirits, once just ingredients, had now become a world-destroying disaster.

[Can these evil spirits actually destroy the world?]

To Song Shuhang as he was now, this peculiar feeling was akin to — ordinary pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, fish and the like suddenly rising up and destroying the world.

It’s roughly that kind of feeling.

[Also… Does this correspond to my current time?]

Song Shuhang also noticed something else.

This Shuhang, who was running with his father, was at the same age as the corresponding time for him.
