You should know, Senior White is the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’s’ madman when it comes to closing off for cultivation. Whenever he had time, he would seize every second to cultivate in seclusion.

But the current Senior White, instead of closing off, seemed to be having a great time.

Could it be that he was infected by the black horse’s acting bug?

——The confusion Song Shuhang felt at the moment was mostly feigned, as he was quietly shifting the topic. Moreover, the way he shifted the topic was extremely stiff and shoddy.

“I’ve been in continuous seclusion,” Senior White pointed to himself and said, “Look, I’m in a state of cultivation right now.”

Song Shuhang was stunned.

In cultivation right now?

But Senior White, you’re clearly talking to me…

While he was pondering, suddenly, he thought of a possibility.

“Could it be a background cultivation mode?” Song Shuhang asked—referring to his exclusive Song Family’s cultivation method called ‘Background Cultivation.’

In this mode, one could cultivate, gain enlightenment, listen to the Dharma, and eat meals all at the same time.

Some ‘motionless’ activities could run in the background, while actions requiring movement could be switched to the foreground.

“Yes, that’s it,” Senior White nodded and said, “Ever since I learned about your cultivation mode, I tried it a little and got the hang of it. Since then… I’ve been in seclusion every moment of every day. If I calculate the total duration of background cultivation hanging up, it should already be over three months. So, I can cultivate while playing games.”

“As expected of Senior White.” Song Shuhang skillfully gave a seamless flattery.

No wonder it always felt like Senior White’s time spent in seclusion seemed a bit less lately. It turned out Senior White had mastered the skill of ‘background cultivation.’

Their conversation was overheard by the Dark Sun sealed within.

[What the hell is background cultivation? And always hanging up for cultivation?]The Dark Sun felt the word ‘cultivation’ in its mind was being ground and insulted by the two guys outside.

Stop, your way of cultivation has no soul!

Moreover, how can background cultivation even count as cultivation?

Cultivation is about cutting yourself off from the world, closing your cave dwelling, sitting down alone to cultivate and seek enlightenment. That’s what ‘cultivation’ means!

Cultivation isn’t some kind of skill.

Do you two have some misunderstanding about the word ‘cultivation’?

“Right, did you successfully master the Sage’s ‘innate skill’ from Confucianism? How did it go?” Senior White asked.

“Fantastic!” Song Shuhang gave a thumbs-up and said, “After using the secret technique, the ruler of the Netherworld, fat ball, was devoured by me in one breath, nine-tenths of its existence gone. Now, the unconscious fat ball will probably need tens of thousands of years to wake up. During its slumber, my corresponding Netherworld Ruler Body, ‘Dark Song,’ is getting ready to use it as a Companion Magic Device.”

[The Sage’s innate skill of Confucianism? Swallowed nine-tenths of the ruler of the Netherworld’s existence? Is this the ability aimed at me?]The Dark Sun’s heart stirred, growing more uneasy.

At the same time, it cautiously raised its Sensing Ability, listening attentively to the exchange between Song Shuhang and Senior White.

…

…

“So next it’s your turn, Senior White. The brand-new ‘Language Text Immortality Technique’ I have can be offered as a sacrificial ritual, aiding you in inheriting the Sage’s talent,” Song Shuhang added.

Senior White countered, “After offering this ‘Language Text Immortality Technique,’ do you have any leads on a backup path to immortality?”

Previously, during the ‘Xuan Nu Sect’s Profound Sage Speech Live Broadcast,’ Song Shuhang offered the ‘Seeking Life Through Death Method’ only to immediately connect to the ‘Language Text Immortal Path,’ seamlessly keeping from falling from the Immortal Realm.

So this time, Senior White wanted to know if Song Shuhang had a third ‘path to immortality’ in nascent form that could seamlessly link up.

“I have some leads. I’m contemplating constructing the next path to immortality primarily around ‘karmic virtues’ or ‘light of virtue.’ However, I haven’t organized the outline of this way to immortality yet…” Song Shuhang honestly replied.

Truth be told, even if he fell from the Immortal Realm, it wouldn’t affect him much.

His confrontational strength didn’t rely on the ‘Immortal Realm.’

Besides, with a complete Netherworld Ruler Body ‘Dark Song’ at his disposal, his combat power wouldn’t be affected at all.

Moreover, in a day or two of the outside world’s time at most, he could perfect a new immortal path and return to the Immortal Realm.

“It’s better to complete a ‘seamless transfer.’ If your realm falls, it might leave some hidden problems,” Senior White stroked his chin, pondering, “Song Shuhang, send me the data you’ve organized about the ‘karmic virtues, light of virtue’ immortality methods first.”

“Alright,” Song Shuhang opened his divine eye on his forehead and sent all the data regarding his insights into the ‘karmic virtues, light of virtue’ network immortal methods, all packaged, to Senior White.

Compared to ‘karmic,’ Song Shuhang’s understanding of ‘virtue’ was much deeper. The power of virtue accumulated on his body was too immense, and coupled with the virtuous lamia possessing a set of ‘virtuous secret techniques,’ it greatly aided Song Shuhang in comprehending the ‘Virtuous Immortality.’

After receiving the information, Senior White began to mull over it, “I see, that’s the case. Hmm, I understand this part… This part makes sense as well, there should be no big problem. Song Shuhang, give me about an hour.”

“No problem,” Song Shuhang nodded in response.

Although he had no idea what Senior White was planning to do, an hour was merely a blink of an eye.

[An hour? Sounds like a unit of time measurement in some world? Doesn’t seem too long, does it?]The Dark Sun pondered in curiosity.

It quickly figured out the concept of ‘an hour.’

[That short? What can you do in that time?]

For a Big Boss who needed several years just to condense a single pill, an hour was extremely short.

What can be done in such a short time?

Soon… the Dark Sun discovered what an hour could mean for Senior White and Song Shuhang.

“Good, I’ve got it,” about 58 minutes later, Senior White opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

From his body, a new ‘path to immortality blueprint’ shone forth.

This new ‘path to immortality blueprint’ was a network created from the combination of virtue and karmic, a way of immortality that could connect many people through karma and virtue.

[Wengba, wengba!]The Dark Sun was so shocked that it revealed its ancient language’s dialect.

An hour, and they deduced a formative path to immortality from ‘virtue and karmic’?

What kind of monsters are these?

Too wengba!

Is this even humanly possible?

Or rather, are they truly human?

“Next, Song Shuhang offers the ‘immortal path,’ and we start the Sage’s talent inheritance ceremony… While you perform the Sage’s talent on me, I’ll transfer this ‘path to immortality blueprint’ along with a part of my existence to you,” Senior White said.
