Chapter 1425 Mirage dragons seem pretty unlucky

　　The Limitless Demon Sect was a well-known sect in the world of cultivation. It had a formidable force, and it naturally could also send some people to participate in the Immortal Feast. It was just that Song Shuhang had not noticed this young man’s identity during the previous matches.

　　Song Shuhang squeezed his chin, and said, “Sometimes, fate truly is a curious thing.”

　　At the side, Shi also pinched her chin. “Senior Tyrannical Song, do you know him?”

　　Song Shuhang said, “I don’t, but I do know his sect. I have a grudge against someone in their sect.”

　　While he was saying that, the disciple of the Limitless Demon Sect raised his hands up, ready to welcome his victory.

　　This young man from the Limitless Demon Sect was exhausted and weak from all the fighting. Having lasted up until now in the free-for-all, his mental energy and true qi were already nearly exhausted. However, it was all worth it as he became the winner in the end.

　　In the outside world, his teacher was getting ready to applaud him.

　　Song Shuhang smiled, and said to Shi, “Go, Shi. It’s time for you to harvest some benefits.”

　　Shi curiously said, “Huh? Senior Tyrannical Song, don’t you have a grudge with them?”

　　She thought that Song Shuhang himself was going to attack. Song Shuhang said, “How should I put this… I am still a senior figure, and it would be too embarrassing for me to go out to bully a Second Stage practitioner.” Shi nodded, understanding what he meant. “Senior Tyrannical Song, I will bring you victory!”

　　“Go, Shi. I choose you!” Song Shuhang lifted the sheet and lightly patted Shi with his right hand.

　　Song Shuhang didn’t use any high-level teleportation techniques as he didn’t know any.

　　However, Shi still had the ‘Tyrannical Song Sage Seal’ on her body. She might not be able to recognize this Sage Seal at this moment, but this did not affect its functions. Through the Sage Seal, Song Shuhang could transmit a stream of spiritual energy to Shi at any time to enhance her combat power.

　　However, it would be best to avoid using this. After all, Shi wished to win the battle with her own strength.

　　Originally, he wanted to attach a layer of saber intent armor on Shi’s body, but after giving it some thought, he chose to do otherwise.

　　The young man from the Limitless Demon Sect raised his hands up high, getting ready to welcome victory, but after a while, he found that he had not been ejected from the ‘fighting space’.

　　Strange, am I not the winner? The young man was confused.

　　At this moment, he suddenly sensed an aura coming from behind him.

　　When he turned his head, he found that there was a young girl standing not too far behind him.

　　How is this possible? There’s still someone else here? The eyes of the young man widened as he stared at Shi.

　　Where did she come from?

　　The entire fighting space is only so big, and it’s flat. There is nowhere to hide.

　　Could it be that there is something shady going on?

　　Opposite him, Shi did not say a word, and simply assumed her stance. Then, she stepped on the ground heavily with her right foot, dashing towards the young man like an arrow.

　　As soon as she got close, she waved her palms, unleashing a violent rain of attacks using a palm technique.

　　The young man from the Limitless Demon Sect had already consumed a lot of energy, and his mental energy and true qi were both at the point of exhaustion at this stage. He could only try to avoid Shi’s palm strikes, and resist her attack to the best of his ability.

　　The young man roared, “Damn it, where were you hiding before this?!”

　　Shi slightly lowered her body, spun beautifully, and released a low sweep at the boy.

　　The boy could only jump backward in an attempt to avoid it. “I have always been behind you,” Shi replied calmly.

　　The eyes of the young man turned fierce. He had been hit by several palms just now, and the Second Stage defensive rune on his body nearly shattered.

　　Things can’t continue like this, or this little girl might really eject me from this space…

　　Before he landed on the ground, the true qi in his body violently surged.

　　Was it a cultivation technique that could give him a boost for a short period, or had he relied on some magical treasure to recover his strength?

　　The young man from the Limitless Demon Sect said, “It’s a pity. You should have launched a surprise attack when I had not seen you. Now, you’ve missed your chance.”

　　Now, most of his true qi had been restored. Although he had yet to return to his peak condition, he believed that he could deal with this little girl, who had just entered the Second Stage. “You discovered me before I even got the time to launch a sneak attack.” Shi exhaled, and her aura rose at the same time.

　　In one breath, she went from being at the level of someone who had just entered the Second Stage to the level of someone at the Second Stage Fourth Dantian (Dragon Body Dantian] Realm.

　　At the same time, the illusory projection of a whale appeared behind her. That projection was the materialization of a large amount of virtue.

　　This was the gift from the Great Northern Emperor and Profound Sage Melon Eater.

　　The young man from the Limitless Demon Sect frowned. This little girl was actually hiding her strength? I’m afraid it won’t be easy to defeat her.

　　Should I risk it all?

　　If he could become the winner, he’d definitely acquire more resources after he returned to the Limitless Demon Sect. Even if he had to pay a small price, it would be fine since he could simply get the best help after returning to the sect.

　　I’ll risk it!

　　As his thoughts arrived at this point, the aura of the young man rose once again as he used a secret technique that damaged his body.

　　Just as he was about to unleash the power of the secret technique, a black man suddenly emerged from a sheet of cloth behind Shi.

　　This man didn’t give off any sense of existence before, but the moment he came out of the sheet, people couldn’t help but look at him-it was the so-called (nobody under the heavens doesn’t know of me]-effect.

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar!

　　Song Shuhang still had his eyes closed, but he opened them when the young man from the Limitless Demon Sect had been about to use the technique. In his eyes, a strange light emerged.

　　Not good!

　　The young man yelled in his heart-terrifying power was hidden within the eyes of Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar. Everyone and everything that he looked at, whether it be a stone or a small tree, could become pregnant!

　　I’ve been stared at by Demon Sage Tyrannical Scholar!

　　Am I going to become pregnant again? The young man subconsciously lowered his head to avoid Song Shuhang’s gaze.

　　As soon as he lowered his head, Loli Shi rushed forward and displayed a set of beautiful and powerful palm techniques.

　　The young man of the Limitless Demon Sect was into Loli Shi’s combo, and he was sent flying into the air.

　　Shi used a profound movement technique, and she constantly hit the young man, palm after palm.

　　He was unable to resist, and was stuck in mid-air like a puppet, constantly enduring her attacks.

　　Behind, Song Shuhang nodded in satisfaction.

　　He had actually not used the Impregnating Gaze-he merely opened his eyes and gave the boy a friendly look. As for what this young man thought of it, he couldn’t be blamed for that.

　　Seeing that Shi’s victory was set, Song Shuhang patted himself lightly. “Crack-“

　　The Second Stage defensive rune hidden in his body was shattered. He was sent out of the space, returning to his seat.

　　After seeing Song Shuhang’s figure reappearing, Soft Feather smiled, and said, “Senior Song, you are finally out.”

　　“Sigh-” Song Shuhang sighed. “In the end, my heart turned out to be too soft. I couldn’t bring myself to bully these little guys who are under 20.”

　　I’m clearly just an 18-year-old guy, why do I feel like I’m so old mentally?

　　Is it because of that dreamland where I became Lady Onion? Or is it when I went through the life of the Heavenly Emperor? Or could it be when I went through Chu Chu’s life?

　　Song Shuhang recently found himself to be quite old mentally.

　　Even if he wasn’t actually old, his mind seemed to have aged.

　　Now, when he looked at his peers who were under 20, he felt like he was looking at his sons.

　　Even when he looked at Loli Shi, he would get the feeling that he was looking at his granddaughter.

　　What a terrible state of mind!

　　Song Shuhang rubbed his face. “I am obviously still very young.” Soft Feather chuckled. “Yeah, Senior Song is very young, at least in appearance.”

　　Song Shuhang burst into tears. “Soft Feather, if you want to comfort me, you should stop after saying the first half.”

　　At the same time, he looked at Su Clan’s Sixteen, who was beside him. “Sixteen still hasn’t woken up. Is the fragrance of the Immortal Feast unable to tempt her enough to wake her up?”

　　Soft Feather said, “Maybe it’s because the dishes on the table right now are cold dishes. They don’t have a strong scent, so maybe Sixteen hasn’t smelled them yet?”

　　The White Dragon stared into the distance, and said, “I really want to eat a horse.”

　　She just happened to see a familiar celestial horse grazing on the lawn outside the Immortal Feast venue.

　　“…” Song Shuhang.

　　The White Dragon’s gentle voice sounded. “By the way, Shuhang, do you know about mirage dragons?”

　　Song Shuhang nodded, and said, “I’ve heard of a tale about mirage dragons. According to that tale, they’re the offsprings of snakes and pheasants.” “There’s such a tale? I’ve never heard of it,” the White Dragon said. “The mirage dragon that I’m talking about is a variant of the flood dragon race. They are exceptional at illusory techniques, and their illusions can perfectly replicate reality. This is especially the case after they reach the Seventh Stage. In conjunction with the ‘Illusory Reality’ talent, the mirage dragon’s illusory techniques can reach an incredible level.”

　　Song Shuhang nodded silently, and his knowledge expanded once again.

　　However, why did the White Dragon suddenly tell him about mirage dragons?

　　Could it be that the awakening Sixteen is experiencing is related to a mirage dragon?

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Is the dragon bloodline in Sixteen’s body the bloodline of a mirage dragon?”

　　The White Dragon shook her head. “No, it’s just that I sensed the aura of a mirage dragon nearby. In a while, be careful while eating and try not to eat the mirage dragon.” Song Shuhang curiously said, “Has a mirage dragon been made into a dish by Immortal Fairy Biexue?”

　　The White Dragon said, “How do I say this… Mirage dragons have a peculiar hobby. They like using illusory techniques to transform into food, and then let other creatures swallow them.”

　　Song Shuhang exclaimed, “Heavens!”

　　There were actually still such death-seeking creatures in this world?

　　The big boss of Buddhism had only cut out a piece of himself to feed the hawk, but these mirage dragons directly turned themselves into food.

　　With such a special hobby, it was simply a miracle that the mirage dragons had yet to go extinct.

　　Song Shuhang said, “Sooner or later, won’t the mirage dragons end up on the top of the endangered creatures list?” The White Dragon smiled, and said, “It’s not what you think… Mirage dragons like to turn into delicacies and let people eat them, but they don’t die. Instead, they temporarily become parasites that attach themselves to the host’s body. They use their illusory techniques to influence the host, constructing a mirage world where they can satisfy all of the host’s wishes. When the host is affected by this illusory technique, they acquire a kind of energy that aids their cultivation.”

　　Song Shuhang said, “Aren’t they incubi, then?”

　　According to legends, an incubus would satisfy another creature’s carnal desires to absorb their essence.

　　The mirage dragon’s abilities sounded like they were of a higher level, with them being able to satisfy any of the wishes of their host.

　　Becoming invincible, becoming the richest, building a crystal palace, becoming the god of creation, destroying the world, or experiencing 10,000 different kinds of death… No matter what it was, the mirage dragon could easily fulfill the wish.

　　Song Shuhang felt that these mirage dragons had to have a talk with Senior Thrice Reckless.

　　In the mirage world, Senior Thrice Reckless could seek death as much as he wanted without worrying about the terrible consequences of seeking death in the real world.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Then, what if they encounter a race with a strong digestive power? After being eaten, will the mirage dragon end up being digested?”. The White Dragon gently said, “In those cases, they just die.”

　　“…” Song Shuhang.

　　The White Dragon prompted, “However, if you can find a mirage dragon and let it come in contact with Sixteen, she might be able to wake up sooner.”

　　Sixteen was still in a coma for some reason, but the mirage world of the mirage dragon might be able to stimulate her spirit and wake her up sooner.

　　Song Shuhang’s eyes lit up. “Sister White Dragon, can you find the mirage dragon?”

　　The White Dragon shook her head. “I only sensed its aura, but I haven’t found where it is exactly yet. Moreover, if the mirage dragon transformed into food, it would be difficult to find it.”

　　Soft Feather asked, “Sister White Dragon, I have a question. After the mirage dragon successfully gets enough energy from its host, how does it come out of its body?” The White Dragon replied, “I’m afraid that you will have to ask a mirage dragon. In the entire universe, nobody really knows the answer to this.”

　　Song Shuhang concluded, “Suddenly, I feel that mirage dragons are pretty unlucky.”

　　While they were talking, the free-for-all for the under 20 bracket finally ended.

　　Loli Shi struck the disciple from the Limitless Demon Sect with palm techniques until the Second Stage defensive rune in his body broke.

　　After defeating the Limitless Demon Sect disciple, she gasped slightly and looked back.

　　Senior Tyrannical Song, I did it!

　　However, when she turned her head, she couldn’t find him anywhere.

　　At this time, a ray of light fell on Shi’s body.

　　There was a Fourth Stage defensive rune in this light. This rune would last for three years, and this was the first reward for the winner of the free-for-all.

　　The second reward was the Winged Whale King’s head.

　　Shi, now with the light of a defensive rune on her body, returned to her seat.

　　Then, a girl with long hair carried a plate with the Winged Whale King’s head over.

　　The plate cover was then lifted, and the fragrance of the dish overflowed.

　　Song Shuhang suddenly thought of something. “Sister White Dragon, could this Winged Whale King head be a transformed mirage dragon?”

　　After giving it some thought, he got the feeling that there was something wrong with this Winged Whale King’s head.

　　The White Dragon affirmatively replied, “Absolutely not.”
