They aren't four characters!
Even Soft Feather's fifth place was given up by Senior Northern River. In other words, the real top five should have been Northern River's Loose Cultivator. In that case, the top five in this 'Hand Tractor Race' would all be seniors with four-character Daoist titles.
"So, it seems a Daoist name really must have four characters!" Song Shuhang.
That being said, it's time for him to have a Daoist name; he can't keep calling himself 'Under the Pressure of Books' forever.
He is now Second-Stage True Master, a true novice cultivator.
As his cultivation level gradually improves, he will definitely come into contact with more senior Cultivator World or fellow cultivators in the future.
When they meet, the other person will greet them warmly, "Fellow Daoist, I am Layman XX. May I ask your name?"
"Haha, so you're the XX Layman! I've heard so much about you. You can call me... 'The pressure of studying is too much.'"
"Ah, so you're the fellow student from the 'Book Mountain Pressure' forum! It's an honor to meet you!"
Holy crap, just thinking about that scene made Song Shuhang feel terrible.
It's time to adopt a Daoist name!
However, how should one choose their own Daoist name?
If he is a disciple of a sect, his Daoist name is bestowed by the sect's elders or master.
For example, the Fairy Lychee... and her group of fruit-themed senior and junior disciples.
But how do independent cultivators obtain their Daoist titles?
Do I need to choose a Daoist name for myself?
"If I were to choose my own Daoist name, 'Divine Sword Daoist' sounds pretty good, doesn't it? Or I could learn from Senior Northern River and choose 'Book-and-Sword Rogue Cultivator,' that sounds really cool." Song Shuhang rubbed his chin.
Calling him "The Book-and-Sword Rogue Cultivator," or "The Book-and-Sword Daoist," or "The Hermit of the Book-and-Sword Lay Buddhist and Sword" would all be fitting. If he achieves great mastery of his skills in the future and his Daoist title is upgraded to "True Lord Book-and-Sword," then "Book-and-Sword Venerable" would also be very suitable.
But then again,... it feels a bit strange to give yourself a pseudonym.
A Daoist name is not the same as an online name.
This is something so important that it concerns my entire future; perhaps it's better to take it seriously?
Or, how about asking a senior member in the group to bestow upon you a Daoist name?
However, there's a concern about asking senior members in the group to bestow upon you a Daoist name.
"What if the senior bestows upon me a Daoist name like 'Eggplant Daoist' or something?" Song Shuhang muttered to himself.
On the viewing platform, Venerable White, Whirlwind Venerable, and Venerable Spirit Butterfly distributed rewards to the top three Venerable.
After giving the rewards to True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord, Venerable White went to Song Shuhang's location.
Seeing that Song Shuhang had woken up, Venerable White smiled, "You've completed your advancement?"
"Yes, with the guidance of my seniors, I advanced smoothly." Song Shuhang chuckled, then pointed to his lower back. "After opening the Dragon Tail Dantian, it feels quite interesting."
After his 'Dragon Tail Dantian' was activated, he felt as if he had gained a small tail.
This was not his illusion—after the Dragon Tail Dantian was activated, true energy could be directly emitted from the tail, which gave Song Shuhang the illusion that he had an extra 'tail'.
Of course... this 'true energy tail' is only a fleeting thing.
Perhaps, if there were some special cultivation technique, it could fix this true qi tail... but I doubt any cultivator would be so bored as to develop such a useless technique. Besides, after the Dragon Tail Dantian was opened, the quality and quantity of Song Shuhang's true qi doubled.
Combat strength doubled.
"Senior, please give me some guidance?" Venerable White looked puzzled.
Song Shuhang replied, "Yes, when I was advancing, a senior directly transmitted his voice into my mind and guided me on the correct method to break through the 'Dragon Tail Dantian.' That's why I was able to successfully break through all four barriers of the Dragon Tail Dantian in one go."
Venerable White blinked. When Song Shuhang was attempting to advance, which fellow Daoist gave him guidance? How come he hadn't noticed?
Oh well, it's not a bad thing anyway.
Venerable White smiled and said, "In a little while, go to the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' and ask which senior gave you guidance. It's a favor, so you should remember it."
"Yes, I've got it." Song Shuhang nodded.
"Also, I just heard you muttering something about 'Eggplant Daoist' and 'Book-and-Sword Rogue Cultivator'?" Venerable White asked curiously. As he spoke, Senior White took out a large box, opened it, and revealed that it was full of purple bayberries.
"Ah~~ Senior White heard me. Hehe." Song Shuhang felt a little embarrassed, but still replied, "I was thinking, now that I'm Second-Stage True Master cultivator, I can be considered a true beginner cultivator, so I was thinking, I should probably get a 'Daoist title'?"
"Hmm~" Venerable White nodded in agreement.
Song Shuhang continued, "However, I chose the path of 'unaffiliated cultivator' and did not join a sect. I have no master or senior sect leader to bestow upon me a Daoist title. So I'm thinking... should I come up with my own Daoist title?"
The Venerable White's cheeks puffed out. "Thump thump thump thump thump~~~"
The fruit pits flew out in a straight line and fell into the sea.
Venerable White laughed and said, "So, you thought of Eggplant Daoist? You want to team up with Fairy Lychee and the others to form a vegetable and Fruit Lineage? In that case, I suggest you call yourself Bayberry Daoist, that would sound better!"
Song Shuhang: "..."
"No, Senior White, you misunderstand. I was thinking about how I should never take a similar Daoist name when I said 'Eggplant Daoist.' Hehe, actually I feel that names like 'Book-and-Sword Rogue Cultivator' or 'Divine Sword Daoist' would suit me very well," Song Shuhang chuckled.
After pondering for a moment, Venerable White said, "Shuhang knows how to use a sword? Aren't you using a saber?"
The Venerable is earnestly pointing out the errors in Song Shuhang's work.
Song Shuhang Orz.
"Furthermore... titles like 'Book-and-Sword Rogue Cultivator' and 'Divine Sword Daoist' were used by many people thousands of years ago. They sound incredibly outdated now," Venerable White continued. "They don't even sound as good as your current title, 'Under the Pressure of the Mountain of Books'."
Song Shuhang said urgently, "Senior White, 'The pressure of the mountain of books' is my online name, not my Daoist name! It's not my Daoist name!"
Venerable White blinked. "Thump thump thump thump~~"
"Furthermore, I feel that four characters are indeed better for a Daoist title," Song Shuhang continued, then pointed with his finger. "Senior White, look, the top five in this Hand Tractor Race, apart from Soft Feather, the others— True Lord Flood Dragon Overlord, True Lord Dustfall, Master Profound Principle, and Snow Wolf Cave Master —all have four-character titles."
"Not only that, but most of the seniors in the group seem to have four-character names. Like True Lord Yellow Mountain, Mad Saber Three Waves, Su Clan’s Seven, Copper Trigram Immortal Master, Dharma King Creation, and so on~~"
Venerable White: "Puff puff puff puff puff~~"
Then, Venerable White spoke up, "Just a reminder, it's not four characters."
Song Shuhang: "?"
"Most of the Daoist titles you mentioned are only two characters long. The first character is their Daoist title, and the second is an honorific title," Venerable White explained.
