Chapter 2690: From Today Onward, Become a True Cultivator

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Since the beginning of his cultivation journey, Song Shuhang had eagerly anticipated having a more traditional cultivation style—such as soaring through the clouds and flying on a sword like a typical cultivator, instead of being dragged around chaotically by the ‘Blade Dragging Technique,’ or only managing to seclude himself for a few hours like he usually did.

And now, he truly needed a longer period of seclusion to consolidate his recent progress.

From today onward, he resolved to become a genuine cultivator.

Alchemy, artifact nurturing, and a lengthy seclusion period!

“Senior White, Fairy Skylark, should we start our seclusion now? I can’t wait any longer!” Song Shuhang exclaimed enthusiastically.

After speaking, he ‘looked’ towards Senior White with his divine sense, only to find that Young White had quietly entered seclusion at some point.

Curled up into a ball, Young White’s eyes were closed, with his long eyelashes fluttering slightly and a faint smile on his chubby lips.

“Come to think of it, Senior White hasn’t gone into seclusion for quite some time,” Song Shuhangs tone softened involuntarily.

Unlike Song Shuhang, who was ‘somewhat interested’ in going into seclusion, it was more of a hobby tor Senior White. It it weren’t for the various interesting events that had occurred every day since Song Shuhang had emerged from seclusion last year, and even causing the collapse of the Heavenly Way, Senior White would have entered seclusion long ago.

It could be said that over the past year, Senior White had been resisting the urge to enter seclusion, constantly being drawn in by various ‘more interesting events’ until today.

It was like someone who was clearly exhausted but kept themselves awake because playing games all night was too enticing.

“l originally thought that after White finished his outing, he would go back to seclude himself for a month or two. But this time, he’s persisted until now,” Fairy Skylark remarked with a smile.

Then, Fairy Skylark’s primordial spirit floated over to Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and Sage Monarch Spirit Butterfly, using her thick blue hair to braid them together behind her.

“Shuhang, bring Young White over as well,” Fairy Skylark instructed Song

Shuhang. “Next, all five of us will enter a long-term seclusion. Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and the Spirit Butterfly haven’t woken up yet, so we’ll tie them together first. I don’t want us to drift apart in the Tribulation Transcender Void.’

“Alright,” Song Shuhang said, reaching out to take Young White’s hand and bring him to Fairy Skylark’s side.

Fairy Skylark then braided two more strands of hair, tying Song Shuhang and Young White together.

“Hakuna Matata Hakuna Matata, one vine, seven…” Song Shuhangs inner being, the virtuous lamia, suddenly began singing.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

“Fairy, let’s keep it serious,” he said to Fairy Skylark. “I’m clearly flying four kites.’

The virtuous lamia was speechless.

She couldn’t find any lines for the song ‘Four Kites’ in her repertoire, so she couldn’t continue the conversation.

“Focus on your seclusion. Remember, the purpose of this seclusion isn’t just for cultivation, but also to cultivate your affinity with the Tribulation Transcender Void,” Fairy Skylark reminded them.

With that, she crossed her legs and closed her long eyelashes, entering seclusion.

All the seniors had undergone hundreds or even thousands of major or minor seclusions, so once they were prepared, they could enter seclusion with just a thought.

Song Shuhang took a deep breath.

Then, he followed Fairy Skylark’s lead, sitting cross-legged and emptying his mind, trying to enter a state of seclusion.

Ten minutes later…

Song Shuhang could feel Fairy Skylark’s braid tied to his waist, dragging her along.

Twenty minutes later…

Song Shuhang could sense the special energy of the Tribulation Transcender Void gently touching his primordial spirit. However, this energy was fleeting, merely passing through his life without lingering.

Thirty minutes later…

“Am I still not in seclusion?” Song Shuhang felt a sense of despair.

He was like someone accustomed to sleeping at 4 a.m., suddenly trying to sleep at 11 p.m., tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

“No, this won’t do. 1 need to improve my rapport with the Tribulation Transcender Void. 1 have to enter seclusion and establish a deep level of communication with it,” Song Shuhang thought to himself.

Then, he made a concerted effort to clear his mind and enter a state of non-existence and non-self.

As an Eighth Stage Profound Sage, he should be able to accomplish this if he put his mind to it.

Gradually, he began to enter a state of seclusion.

‘Speaking of cultivating rapport, I wonder if my ‘Blade Nurturing Technique’ could be of use?’ Just as Song Shuhang was about to enter seclusion, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Song Shuhangs primordial spirit trembled, sensing that this plan might work.

With his current strength, maintaining his Essence Soul’s ‘instinct’ to cast the Blade Nurturing Technique to the outside world while in seclusion wasn’t difficult. He could release the Blade Nurturing Technique evenly to the outside world within a second, much like breathing.

If he wanted to do it, he could.

The hair of Song Shuhangs primordial spirit spread out, forming small hands that began to rub against the void. Since the Tribulation Transcender Void didn’t have a physical body like the Scarlet Heaven Sword or even a planet, Song Shuhang treated the entire void he was in as the target of the Blade Nurturing Technique.

He spread his ‘Massage Love’ throughout the void.

The small hands of his Essence Soul continued to slide in the void, releasing the Blade Nurturing Technique and spreading it.

After completing this task, 40 minutes had passed since Song Shuhang had prepared to enter seclusion.

The virtuous lamia inside him rolled her eyes.

“Very good, maintain this rhythm. Continuously releasing the Blade Nurturing Technique can help me enter a better rhythm and make it easier for me to enter a state of seclusion,” Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

Fifty minutes later…

Song Shuhang suddenly had a new idea—since even the Dream Realm in the main world had given birth to a ‘collection of the will of the Dream Realm,’ what if the Tribulation Transcender Void had also given birth to a world’s will?

Though the probability was low, what if?

Therefore, the back of Song Shuhangs primordial spirit began to glow. Senior White Two’s golden core QR code wasn’t just engraved on his body, but also directly imprinted on his soul.

After the golden core QR code lit up, Song Shuhang continued to send messages to the outside world saying ‘let’s be friends.’ Perhaps he really caught a big fish after casting his net.

An hour later…

Two hundred holy apes appeared above Song Shuhang’s head. These holy apes were holding scholarly scriptures in their hands, and a true dragon was tied around their necks. A layer of liquid metal was slowly flowing on the surface of their bodies. This layer of liquid metal would occasionally solidify and turn into the pitch-black color of the Steel Hands Technique.

The apes whispered, “It’s a pleasure to have friends coming from afar..”
