1232 Wholesale protagonist routine 

　　Table flip!

　　Hadn’t the secret appraisal technique gotten more and more mischievous recently? When it was appraising other things, it was normal. However, when it was about Slow-Witted Song, the results of the appraisal would become quite nasty.

　　Insufficient permissions and age…

　　With a sigh, Song Shuhang stopped using the appraisal technique.

　　Even if he were to forcefully use the secret appraisal technique again, he still wouldn’t get the information he wanted.

　　Song Shuhang softly said, “According to the clues provided by the secret appraisal technique, when the secret book of the human alliance is used together with the cultivation technique that Kindness practices, there would be unexpected gains.”

　　The problem returned to the most important step.

　　How was he supposed to get Kindness’ cultivation technique?

　　If he wanted to honestly get the cultivation technique… then he would have to consider whether or not to join the ‘All the Humans of the World Should Unite and Become a Family’ organization.

　　Moreover, even if he successfully obtained the cultivation technique, he would not be able to immediately start practicing it.

　　He had already practiced the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯. If he wanted to practice a second auxiliary cultivation technique, he would have to make a lot of preparation beforehand.

　　Besides that, there was still another point to take note of.

　　All the members of the Black Horse Branch practiced both the ❮300 Ways for a Human to Live a Better Life in the Beast Realm❯ and the ❮World-Destroying Divine Beast Technique❯.

　　If both of those were practiced together, one should be able to find the hidden code… Therefore, could all of the members of the Black Horse Branch have already found it?

　　The virtuous lamia continued to stay beside Song Shuhang. Ever since the fat whale beneath her feet swallowed the ‘white-haired man’, she was unable to reenter Song Shuhang’s body. After all, that poor white-haired man was a living creature, and thus could not be brought into Song Shuhang’s body like Scarlet Heaven Sword.

　　Suddenly, the virtuous lamia moved and looked towards the door.

　　Two figures were approaching.

　　One was a man in a black suit, and the other was the turtle great master.

　　It appeared that ‘Great Master Turtle’ had finished speaking.

　　The branch head and the turtle great master did not go directly to Song Shuhang’s room, but went to the side room to see Kindness first.

　　“Kindness, is Mister Tyrannical Song resting?” the branch head asked right after he entered the house.

　　Kindness shook her head, and replied, “I’m currently only meditating to consolidate my realm. Senior Tyrannical Song hasn’t called for me.”

　　The branch head said, “I’m not sure if it’s a good time to go to Mister Tyrannical Song right now, we might end up disturbing him. How about we just come back tomorrow morning?”

　　Great Master Turtle did not oppose his suggestion, and simply nodded.

　　And so, the branch head and Great Master Turtle went on to leave Kindness’ room.

　　However, just as the branch head reached the doorway, he suddenly paused.

　　He took a sharp turn and then looked at Kindness.

　　“Kindness, did you just say that you were meditating to consolidate your realm?” the branch head asked with eyes wide open.

　　There weren’t many people in the Black Horse Branch, and the branch head’s memory was quite good. He had pretty much watched all the members of the younger generation grow up. As such, when it came to which stage they were at, the branch head knew it quite well. He even remembered which small realm they’d reached.

　　From what he could recall, Kindness had just broken through to the ‘Nose Aperture’ Realm two months ago. Due to her cultivation talent being rather average and the cultivation resources of the Black Horse Branch being rather sparse, it would have normally taken her at least another year, if not two or three years, to reach the next aperture.

　　But now, she had already broken through and was consolidating her realm…

　　Kindness nodded, and said, “Yes, Branch Head.”

　　“Did this happen because of Mister Tyrannical Song?” The branch head immediately understood the situation. At the same time, he lightly stepped to Kindness’ side and reached towards her hand to determine which realm she was at.

　　Sure enough, Kindness had successfully opened her ‘Ear Aperture’. Moreover, the qi and blood energy in her body was very strong, showing that there would not be any hidden dangers left behind. Her ascension had not been a forceful one, but rather one that followed a more natural course that allowed the aperture to open by itself!

　　Kindness nodded, and said, “Yes.”

　　The branch head was overjoyed—it really had been the right decision for him to invite Mister Tyrannical Song to become a guest of their branch. Kindness, this little girl, was also very blessed. After all, it was mostly due to her knowledge of a foreign language that she was able to get the opportunity to stay by his side.

　　How good would it be if I had also mastered a foreign language? the branch head thought.

　　The picture of Profound Sage Tyrannical Song in his mind had become even greater.

　　After that, the branch head and Great Master Turtle left, and did not disturb Song Shuhang.

　　They chose to rest for one night in a nearby room in preparation for visiting Profound Sage Tyrannical Song tomorrow morning.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Early in the morning on the next day, at sunrise.

　　The branch head opened his eyes and found that he was still lying on the bed in the same room he had slept in. He felt a little dejected. He had thought that he would find himself sitting outside Senior Tyrannical Song’s residence as soon as he opened his eyes, just like the previous night.

　　The branch head pushed open the door of his room, and found that the Great Master Turtle was already waiting right outside his door.

　　The branch head said, “Good morning, Great Master Turtle. Did you sleep well last night?”

　　“You’re finally awake.” Great Master Turtle smiled, and said, “I couldn’t sleep last night, so I was just waiting for you to wake up.”

　　The branch head: “…” Great Master Turtle, aren’t you a bit too anxious?

　　The two of them first went to the side room where Kindness was.

　　At this time, Kindness had just woken up. Similar to the branch head, when she woke up and found that she was still in her bed, she felt slightly dejected.

　　The branch head asked, “Kindness, is Mister Tyrannical Song awake?”

　　Kindness shook her head, hinting that she didn’t know.

　　The branch head smiled, and said, “Then, come with us to meet Senior Tyrannical Song.”

　　Due to them and Profound Sage Tyrannical Song not speaking the same language, they needed someone to fill in the role of a translator.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　In fact, Song Shuhang was also waiting for the arrival of the branch head and Great Master Turtle. Only by making contact with these two could he find an opportunity to get the ❮World-Destroying Divine Beast Technique❯ he wanted.

　　While he was waiting, he had been paying attention to the situation at the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion through the eye of virtue.

　　The battle between Tribulation Transcenders was still ongoing.

　　With how long the power of Tribulation Transcenders could last, it would not be a problem for their fight to last an entire decade. I wonder when Pavilion Master Chu will be finished with her battle?

　　Also, I wonder how Lady Onion’s and Little Cai’s inner demon tribulation is going.

　　Ye Si still had yet to recover, and she was still in the process of getting through the inner demon tribulation within his body.

　　At this time, the knock of the branch head could be heard at his door.

　　Kindness asked, “Senior Tyrannical Song, are you awake?”

　　Song Shuhang extended his hand, and the Sage Seal began to cover its master with a layer of ‘Profound Sage Dignity’.

　　The virtuous lamia solemnly remained right behind him.

　　Song Shuhang calmly said, “Come in.”

　　The door opened.

　　Great Master Turtle silently glanced at ‘Profound Sage Tyrannical Song’ who was inside the room.

　　Profound Sage Tyrannical Song looked exactly like the young man who had appeared in the divinity show. His outer appearance was that of a young man with an exquisite face and a kind expression.

　　Just from staring at him, his Sage Name had emerged in the mind of Great Master Turtle—Profound Sage Tyrannical Song!

　　It turns out that he really is the first Sage in a thousand years.

　　Great Master Turtle respectfully said, “Junior Gui Xuanzi greets Senior Tyrannical Song.”

　　Without the need of Kindness’ assistance, Great Master Turtle could also converse in other languages. Although he did stumble here and there, his words were generally understandable.

　　The branch head secretly glanced at Great Master Turtle. F*ck, now I’m the only person here who cannot directly communicate with Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.

　　Why does it feel like I’m being excluded from your small circle?

　　Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “What can I do for you?”

　　“This junior heard that Senior Tyrannical Song was here as a guest, and so I came to see you.” Great Master Turtle once again greeted Song Shuhang respectfully.

　　Song Shuhang nodded with a smile. This Great Master Turtle waited anxiously outside the door the entire night. Since he was so anxious to see me, he must still have other reasons for looking for me.

　　Great Master Turtle saw that Senior Tyrannical Song was smiling without saying a word, and his face turned slightly red.

　　Based on Senior Tyrannical Song’s cultivation, he definitely would not have been able to hide his actions from the other party.

　　Great Master Turtle thickened his face, and said, “Senior Tyrannical Song, there is one thing that this junior would like to say to you. Recently, strange things have been frequently happening in the Beast Realm. There are often monster and human cultivators who would suddenly step onto the evil path and become a demon. I myself encountered a practitioner who had stepped onto the evil path on my journey to the ‘Black Horse Branch’.”

　　Song Shuhang listened to Great Master Turtle, and then slightly frowned.

　　People stepping onto the evil path and turning into demons? This sounded quite familiar.

　　Great Master Turtle slowly said, “It was a companion of mine who had stepped onto the evil path. On the way here, he did not show any signs of abnormalities. However, just last night, a large quantity of Netherworld evil energy suddenly appeared on his body, and he began to become a demon. This junior ended up having to subdue and seal him.”

　　After sealing his companion, he immediately contacted the headquarters of the ‘All the Humans of the World Should Unite and Become a Family’ organization and asked them to send an expert to save his companion.

　　The only problem was that it would take that expert from the headquarters some time to reach him, and he was not certain if his seal would hold up for long enough.

　　Fortunately, he had unexpectedly encountered a Profound Sage guest here at the Black Horse Branch.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Did he touch any special objects before he turned into a demon? For example, any sort of beautiful ring or some other jewelry? Perhaps it might entirely be something else, such as a small weapon or something like that?”

　　Great Master Turtle frowned and fell into thought for a moment before his eyes suddenly brightened. “Before we headed for the Black Horse Branch, that companion of mine had picked up a broken sword. He believed the broken sword to be some sort of treasure and took it with him.”

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Is the broken sword still with him?”

　　Great Master Turtle shook his head, and replied, “I didn’t really pay much attention to it.”

　　At this moment, the branch head who was right by them suddenly jumped up and started saying something.

　　Just as Song Shuhang and Great Master Turtle were communicating, the branch head had pulled over Kindness and got her to translate the conversation.

　　Song Shuhang turned his head, and asked, “What is it?”

　　Kindness translated, “The branch head said that he had also picked up a broken sword a few days ago, and it is still within a treasure chest of his.”

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Was there anything weird about that broken sword?”

　　Kindness then translated Song Shuhang’s words for the branch head.

　　The branch head nodded, and replied via Kindness, “Ever since I picked up the broken sword, I would often hear a voice asking me ‘Do you want strength? Do you want to be the protagonist of the world?’. I got the feeling that the broken sword was quite evil, so I replied, ‘No, go away’. After that, the broken remained silent. However, as I felt that it was a treasure, I picked it up and stored it in my treasure chest.”

　　“Let me see it. Also, be careful not to fall into its trap.” Song Shuhang was almost entirely sure that the broken sword came from the other ruler of the Netherworld Realm.

　　As the branch head went to fetch the broken sword, Song Shuhang looked at Great Master Turtle.

　　After thinking for a while, he simply went ahead and asked, “Fellow Daoist Turtle, do you feel anything special when you practice the secret book of the human alliance and the ❮World-Destroying Divine Beast Technique❯ together?”
