Chapter 1738 There isn“t a precedent, and there will be no repeat… My God!

　　Northern River’s Loose Cultivator asked, “Why did we all get ejected?”

　　…We’re done for, we don’t have enough scripts for everyone.

　　Young Master Phoenix Slayer said, “If this wasn’t Fairy Firefly’s doing…”

　　Fairy Firefly responded, “I really didn’t do anything.”

　　Venerable Yellow Mountain guessed, “Then we should’ve been drawn over by Thrice Reckless Mad Saber. It’s probably similar to what happened when we came out of the spatial passage previously, how we were all put together into a group.”

　　At the time, Song Shuhang was transcending tribulation. As he was worried that the fellow daoists of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ would become involved in his heavenly tribulation, he had gotten a patch added that would make it so that everyone who entered the Black Dragon World would be placed 500 meters away from him.

　　But in the end, as soon as the fellow daoists in the group came out of the spatial gate, they seemed to be attracted by a kind of magnetic force, and they ultimately became bunched up together.

　　Su Clan’s Seven confirmed, “Indeed, it feels almost the same as when I was sucked towards you guys before.”

　　“…” Song Shuhang.

　　Then, were all 31 of them going to be showing their divinity in one breath?

　　Was this going to be the members of the entire group wishing everyone Happy New Year? Wasn’t it too early for that?!

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Inside the speech space created by the Black Dragon World…

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber was dumbfounded. He watched as his fellow daoists from the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ emerged from the spatial gate behind him, falling beside him.

　　Soon after, he was surrounded by fellow daoists from the group.

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber heartily asked, “Why did you all come here? Didn’t you say that you were going to let me show my divinity first?”

　　Young Master Phoenix Slayer pushed up his glasses, and said, “On the road of cultivation, there are many accidents, and there are many things that happen outside of one’s control. Thrice Reckless, you should know this very well.”

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber rolled his eyes, and said, “Phoenix Slayer, have you joined a Buddhist sect?”

　　“No, I’ve just been studying philosophy rather deeply recently, and I’ve made some progress.” Young Master Phoenix Slayer smiled slightly, looking quite handsome as he did so.

　　“Hehehe, I think it’s good for everyone to hold the Divinity Show together. It seems very interesting,” Soft Feather said. She felt that it was much more fun for all of them to hold the Divinity Show together than to do it separately.

　　True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple asked, “Did you see that, Thrice Reckless? Did you see how good Soft Feather’s mentality is? You should learn from her.”

　　“Cough.” Venerable Yellow Mountain coughed softly. “Quiet down. The ‘Divinity Show’ is about to start. We’re going to be seen by everyone, so don’t lose the face of our ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’.”

　　As soon as Venerable Yellow Mountain’s voice faded, gentle energy fell on everyone in the speech space.

　　As the energy was very gentle, none resisted it.

　　In the next moment, Soft Feather’s figure was lifted and put aside.

　　Immediately afterward, Little Yinzhu, who was still in deep sleep in Song Shuhang’s arms, was picked up and placed next to Soft Feather.

　　[Is this soft energy ranking us?] Fairy Lychee speculated, using the secret sound transmission.

　　Northern River’s Loose Cultivator said, [I’m feeling like that’s the case as well.]

　　Venerable Yellow Mountain said, [After all, there has to be an order for the Divinity Show. It can’t be a mess.]

　　Young Master Phoenix Slayer remarked, [A group should be neatly arranged.]

　　“…” Thrice Reckless Mad Saber.

　　[Eh? According to this arrangement, am I to be the ninth Sage in 1,000 years?] Soft Feather blinked. So was it her turn to deliver a speech?

　　Unfortunately, she hadn’t obtained her manuscript yet. It seemed like she could only resort to using Senior Song’s manuscript.

　　[Then, if we’re being arranged by who is to go next, this little girl is going to be the 10th Sage in 1,000 years?] True Monarch White Crane glanced at Li Yinzhu, who was in deep sleep. Will this girl wake up when it’s time for her to deliver the speech?

　　Immortal Master Copper Trigram said, [What a pity. I wanted to squeeze into the first ten.]

　　The first ten and the first three were the luckiest ones. Generally, the first ten were always eye-catching existences. Under normal circumstances, the first Sage to the 10th Sage in 1,000 years would be a lot more famous than later Profound Sages.

　　As soon as Immortal Master’s voice fell, everyone stared at him.

　　During the Divinity Show, and before the Profound Sage Speech began, the practitioner involved would show their true face. At that time, perhaps Copper Trigram’s face would finally be revealed!

　　Northern River’s Loose Cultivator laughed. [Hehehe.]

　　Young Master Phoenix Slayer laughed. [Hehehe.]

　　Other Nine Provinces Number One Group members also laughed. [Hehehe.]

　　“…” Immortal Master Copper Trigram.

　　Song Shuhang looked at Little Yinzhu and frowned. With Li Yinzhu in this state, she won’t be able to deliver a speech at all. At that time, what’s she supposed to do?

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　[Who’s the 11th? It would be great if we can arrange ourselves. I’m hoping to get the number 11,] True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon said. [A football team just happens to have 11 people. I like this number very much.]

　　Having a football team had almost become an obsession of True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon.

　　As soon as he said that, True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon felt his body being pulled by the soft energy.

　　He smiled happily, and said, [Hahaha, I really got the number 11. Thank you, Fellow Daoists— huh?]

　　Before he could finish speaking, he saw that several fellow daoists were flying over as well.

　　In the blink of an eye, all of the primordial souls of the members of ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ were lifted by soft energy, including Song Shuhang’s body.

　　“???” True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon.

　　All the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group looked confused.

　　At this time, Song Shuhang’s body was put down and fell by Little Yinzhu’s side—this was the position for the 11th Sage in 1,000 years.

　　Immediately afterward, the primordial souls of the seniors of Nine Provinces Number One Group also settled down.

　　All of the seniors, according to gender and height, neatly landed above… Song Shuhang’s head.

　　Then, the unconscious Lady Onion was lifted out of the ‘size-reducing purse’, and landed in Song Shuhang’s palm.

　　“…” Venerable Yellow Mountain.

　　There were four rows with seven people in each row.

　　[I have a bad feeling.] Young Master Phoenix Slayer figuratively pushed up his glasses.

　　[Why are we on top of Song Shuhang’s head? Why aren’t we arranged in a single line?] Thrice Reckless Mad Saber also got a bad feeling.

　　Fairy Lychee guessed, [Perhaps it’s because we’re primordial souls?]

　　True Monarch Eternal Fire thought about it for a while, and then said, [I think it might be because we weren’t really meant to transcend the tribulation.]

　　Soft Feather, Li Yinzhu, and Song Shuhang were all in the state wherein they were supposed to transcend the tribulation.

　　Doudou’s situation was quite special. Although he had already transcended the Fifth Stage monster heavenly tribulation… It seemed that he had not yet truly completed his tribulation. Perhaps that was why the ‘steel friend’ mark had gotten him involved in Soft Feather’s heavenly tribulation.

　　As for the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, they were still some distance away from having to transcend a tribulation.

　　It was only Thrice Reckless, who was to add the finishing touch to his core, that was somewhat close to transcending the tribulation among them.

　　True Monarch Eternal Fire added, [In other words, we only got involved in the heavenly tribulation, but there’s still some way to go before our own ‘heavenly tribulations’ descend.]

　　Venerable Yellow Mountain nodded slightly. [I’m thinking the same as well.]

　　[So in the end, we’re simply going to be showing our faces while doing nothing?] Young Master Phoenix Slayer said regretfully. [And I thought that we were going to get to see Copper Trigram’s true face.]

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber suddenly said, [By the way, I’ve discovered something very important.]

　　Northern River’s Loose Cultivator asked, [What is it?]

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, [Don’t you feel that the way you’re all floating above Song Shuhang’s head… You’re like those monkeys? Specifically those huge monkeys that always cheer for Song Shuhang.]

　　“…” Venerable Yellow Mountain.

　　While they were talking, a new ‘Divinity Show’ began.

　　Those from the main world and the Black Dragon World suddenly felt something in their hearts, and looked up at the sky one after another.

　　“Eh? Ancient Sage Doudou just finished his speech, yet there’s already another Profound Sage who’s been born?”

　　“This should be the ninth Sage who’s been born in the past 1,000 years!”

　　“In just a few months, Profound Sages have been unceasingly popping up. Even in the ancient era, when the spiritual qi was abundant, it wasn’t this exaggerated, right?”

　　“It seems that a great era of cultivation has begun! Profound Sages, who are hard to come by across 1,000 years, have consecutively been born. Perhaps in a few hundred years, the universe will enter an era where Profound Sage are everywhere!”

　　“This rapid appearance of Profound Sages reminds me of the heroic figure of the first Sage in 1,000 years, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song. At that time, he and three other profound sages transcended the heavenly tribulation together and showed their divinity in quick succession, giving birth to several Profound Sages. The first, second, third, and fourth Sages in 1,000 years showing their divinity and delivering speeches in the same day was such a magnificent scene. I’m quite certain that there has never been a precedent for that, and there won’t be a similar event in the future… My God!”

　　The eyes of the practitioners of the universe all went wide open.

　　The ‘ninth Sage in 1,000 years’ had appeared before their eyes.

　　It was a fairy maiden!

　　The first woman to become a Profound Sage in 1,000 years!

　　And she was of the type that people would never forget after having seen her.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　On Spirit Butterfly Island.

　　“My God.” Senior Brother Liu Jianyi rubbed his eyes. He simply couldn’t believe it, and this caused his breathing to hasten—it was so severe that he even forgot to use the ‘Turtle Breathing Technique’.

　　It’s Soft Feather!

　　However, hasn’t Junior Sister just transcended her heavenly tribulation of the Fifth Stage? Why is she suddenly showing her divinity?

　　He rubbed his eyes again.

　　He really wasn’t seeing things, it really was Soft Feather.

　　Am I really not dreaming?

　　Unless… she isn’t actually my junior.

　　Liu Jianyi’s brain, which had been inactive for several months, quickly operated, and finally… A fearsome thought appeared in his mind.

　　There is only one truth.

　　Liu Jianyi squeezed his chin. “I didn’t expect you to be a girl, Teacher!”

　　1. If this person is not Soft Feather, then who are they?

　　2. Taking into consideration that my teacher, Venerable Spirit Butterfly, has been preparing to transcend the heavenly tribulation of the Eighth Stage, it should be about time for him to have successfully ascended.

　　Combining the two clues, the answer was clear!

　　His teacher, Venerable Spirit Butterfly… was a woman, a fairy maiden.

　　She probably wanted to secretly take care of her daughter, Soft Feather, and so she took on the appearance of a man. But now, during the ‘Divinity Show’, when the true appearance of a person was revealed, his teacher’s true self was finally revealed.

　　The more Liu Jianyi thought about it, the more reasonable it sounded to him.

　　No wonder Teacher’s daoist name always sounded so feminine; no wonder Teacher sometimes has such a small temper, liking to quibble about every detail with people; no wonder Teacher never brought a ‘wife’ back to Spirit Butterfly Island, always leaving Spirit Butterfly Island to meet with that person. Even when my junior sister, Soft Feather, was brought back to Spirit Butterfly Island, Teacher was alone!

　　If she was a woman, then everything made sense.

　　It was precisely because she was Soft Feather’s mother that she looked exactly like Soft Feather—the long legs were clearly a genetic factor.

　　In the world of cultivation, such cases were actually quite common.

　　Because as long as a cultivator reached a high realm, they could stay youthful. Therefore, it was normal that some fairies who looked like twin sisters were actually mother and daughter.
