Chapter 1257 When did you get the idea that you were not soft on the inside and hard on the outside?

Recently, even if the cultivator who was transcending a tribulation was only going from the Second Stage to the Third Stage, they would somehow still end up having to face an inner demon tribulation. It should be known that in the past, when someone was transcending from the Second Stage to the Third Stage, having to face an inner demon tribulation at the end of it was unheard of.

However, for the cultivators who were transcending their tribulations recently, regardless of which Stage they were at, they would eventually fall into the inner demon tribulation state. Moreover, this inner demon tribulation was extremely weird. Even if one’s will was especially firm, the cultivator would still not be able to easily get through the inner demon tribulation.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue wanted to see what would happen with his tribulation considering that he had just gained a lot of power of virtue. In theory, as long as one had enough virtue, it would be able to offset the inner demon tribulation of the Eighth Stage.

The ‘Profound Sage Speech’ phase was created by the first Wielder of the Heaven’s Will so that the cultivators of the universe could benefit from it. At the same time, it could also help out the Eighth Stage Profound Sages.

Anyway, massive amounts of virtue descended onto Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s body. In addition, as he already possessed some power of virtue, his light of virtue began to grow stronger and stronger, and it soon began to materialize.

The light of virtue continuously condensed and compressed.

Eventually, it turned into the prototype of a ‘human’.

“Looking at the body shape, the light of virtue should be a female,” the sea turtle said. “It can be seen from this point that the Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue Daoist is a very gentle person on the inside despite being firm on the outside.”

Song Shuhang said, “Senior Turtle, you can’t say that. The form of one’s light of virtue isn’t something that can be controlled by oneself. Since my light of virtue is a lamia, does that mean that I’m also soft on the inside and hard on the outside?”

Senior Turtle asked, “Where in the world did you get the idea that you were not soft on the inside and hard on the outside?”

Song Shuhang: “…”

Song Shuhang said, “What I’m saying is that how my light of virtue ended up was completely out of my control. I wanted to condense a virtuous true dragon, yet what I ended up getting was a snake-tailed stickman. As such, when you judged Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue in such a way, I simply could not agree with you.”

While he was speaking, the light of virtue behind Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had further condensed.

The content of his speech was in line with the interests of the practitioners all over the universe, and as a huge number of practitioners had viewed the speech favorably, the amount of virtue that he got back was huge as well.

At this time, the ‘virtuous maiden’ evolved again.

A beautiful dress had condensed on her body.

This dress looked pretty and had an alluring flavor to it. The skirt had a slit that reached her thighs, and there were several life-like butterflies that seemed to be flying on it, allowing it to have a perfect mix of elegance and sensuality.

However, why does this dress seem so familiar…?

The sea turtle then turned its head and glanced at Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue. “Heavens.”

Song Shuhang also looked at Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, who was in the middle of forging… Yup, this dress had the exact same style as that of Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.

Moreover, I’m not sure whether I’m just seeing things, but it seems like even the thighs of Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s light of virtue are of the same style and the same length as Fairy’s.

It was just that Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s legs were white, while the legs of the ‘virtuous maiden’ were golden.

“Now, are you still going to refute me?” Senior Turtle said. “I’m telling you, I’ve been studying human psychology quite a bit recently, and it has proved to be very fruitful. Now, even if I don’t use the ‘mind-reading technique’, from just taking note of a person’s words and actions, I’ll already be able to guess that person’s character.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, are you using this opportunity to confess to Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue?

However, Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, who had failed to transcend her tribulation, was now bound to the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’. When the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber changed owners, Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue would have to follow suit.

Although she wanted to free herself from the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’, she required a good amount of time to do so.

In short, whenever Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue wanted to court Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue, there would be a huge electric bulb known as the ‘Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue’ that would be between the two.

Even for Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, such a relationship would not be something easy to handle.

While he was in thought, the maiden behind Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue finished evolving.

Her face also condensed.

As Song Shuhang had guessed, the maiden’s face was also the same as Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’s.

The materialized ‘Virtuous Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’ stretched out her arms and wrapped them around Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue to protect him.

Hmm… The newly condensed ‘Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’ was over five meters tall, which was huge.

“Buzz~”

In the air, there seemed to be a huge tribulation that was about to land, but this huge tribulation was all blocked by the ‘Virtuous Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’.

Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue was relieved.

It seemed that the weird inner demon tribulation would not affect a Profound Sage after they gave a Profound Sage Speech that allowed them to be blessed with the power of virtue from practitioners all over the universe.

The screen of the Profound Sage Speech gradually dissipated, and ‘Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’ stepped out of the Heavenly Tribulation Realm.

❄️❄️❄️

Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue appeared on an asteroid that had a rather powerful magnetic field.

He softly said, “It looks like the inner demon tribulation was blocked by the power of virtue. It’s pretty much just as I had guessed.”

After saying that, he turned to look at the ‘Virtuous Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’ behind him.

He continued in a soft voice, “We’ll only be separated temporarily, Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.”

Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue had been his guide to the path of cultivation. Without her, the current ‘Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’ would not even exist.

For him, she was a teacher and friend.

He was reluctant to separate from her so quickly, but he could not stay in the Seventh Stage Realm forever.

Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue herself would not allow him to forcefully suppress his realm and stop himself from ascending.

However, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber was extremely special. It would not always belong to a certain master. When ‘Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’ ascended to the Eighth Stage, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber would gradually separate from him and go on to determine its next master.

‘Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue’ and ‘Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’, which were currently both bound to the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’, would be transferred to the ‘Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue’ as well.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue murmured to himself, “Finally, I’ve reached the Eighth Stage… Now, it’s just a matter of time before Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue can free herself from the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’.”

Then, the ‘Virtuous Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’ behind him slightly shook.

The reason the power of virtue had turned into Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue was that his plan to free her from the Phoenix Saber required this particular step.

“I wonder who the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue will be…” Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue stretched his hand out and brought out a long saber that seemed both real and illusory.

As soon as this saber appeared, flames encased it.

This was the ‘primordial treasure’ Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.

It transcended the existence of the divine weapons forged by Tribulation Transcenders and Immortals as it was forged by the ‘Third Wielder of the Heaven’s Will’.

Over the years, there had been many Daoists who had signed their names on the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’, and each one of them had been carefully selected by Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue.

Even if their cultivations ranged from high to low, it was unquestionable that every person who became a candidate for the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue was absolutely reliable.

“Now, the final step.” Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue raised the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber and slashed apart the asteroid behind him.

With a single slash, space was cut open.

Subsequently, a gorgeous ancient tomb emerged from the asteroid.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue took a step forward and used the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber to engrave the words [Profound Sage Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s Tomb] on a stone tablet beside the tomb.

He softly said, “From this moment on, the old Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue is buried here with the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’. From today onwards, I will no longer be in charge of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.”

This ancient tomb was built by him a long time ago. This was the inheritance he was leaving behind for the next in line.

Getting juniors to explore one’s tomb was also a fine tradition of many cultivators.

After doing all of this, he patted the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’ and said, “Go, choose your ‘Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue’.”

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber quaked slightly, seemingly saying goodbye to Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said, “Although I can’t interfere with your decision, I still want to mention that among the candidates for the Eighth Cultivator of True Virtue, little friend Song is one of the best ones.”

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber shook once more before slowly floating away.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue looked at the Phoenix Saber, which was rising higher and higher, and then sighed softly.

Goodbye, Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber.

Goodbye, Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue.

“Rumble~”

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber broke through the space, causing a thunderous sound.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue waved at it.

Both ‘Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue’ and the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’ had been with him for a long time, and now it was quite sad that he would have to be separated from them.

While Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue was in thought, the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’ in the air suddenly turned around and returned to him at an extremely fast speed.

Senior Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue was confused.

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber fell back into his hands and took the initiative to stick to his hands. At the next moment, flames burst out and enveloped his body.

This was a sign that there was going to be a battle.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue felt a little uneasy due to the actions of the ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’.

The opponent… I am afraid that even the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber feels that it is a tricky existence.

Who is it?

Is a Tribulation Transcender coming? Or could it be an Immortal?

“Boom~ Boom~”

Above his head, the space suddenly shattered.

In the next moment, a huge planet suddenly appeared above the asteroid where the Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue was located.

Around this planet, there was a pale holy light.

Such holy light made people feel a sense of coldness that would pierce straight into one’s bones.

It was in great contrast to the usually warm and bright holy light.

The planet had no gravitational force. After it squeezed out of space, it began trembling madly. It seemed that crossing through space caused its body to destabilize.

The Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber became more and more restless, and the flames above it sprang up wildly, causing even the asteroid below to begin melting.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue had to leave the asteroid and jump into the void.

Once he got to an empty expanse of space, the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber exploded out with flames once again, which wildly expanded outward.

In just three breaths of time, it had turned into a little sun.

At this time, the planet had finally stabilized. Soon after it stabilized, a huge eye opened up on it.

When he stared at this eye, Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue felt a chill assault his body.

Even though the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber unceasingly covered him in hot flames, he still shivered fiercely.

Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue muttered, “What is this…?”

To even make the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber, a primordial treasure, uneasy, what was the origin of this planet?

The huge eye stared at the relatively small Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue.

Then, a huge ray of light shot out of the eye and struck his body.

The flames of the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber rolled up and kept off the ray of light.

The ray of light was finally blocked.

However, at this time, several visions emerged in Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue’s mind.

The giant of light that had its head cut off, the bird of light which was shot by a divine arrow, the giant snake of light that got cut open and then placed inside a golden coffin.

All the pictures brought along a feeling of death.
