Wenzhou White Whale Road Daoist
"Take Northern River's Loose Cultivator for example. Northern River is his true Daoist title, while Sanren is a title, similar to 'Mr.' or 'Ms.' Once he advances to the Sixth-Grade, he will have to change his title to the True Lord Northern River. The other Daoist titles are similar. Flood Dragon Overlord, Dustfall, Profound Principle, Snow Wolf, and Copper Trigram are all two-character Daoist titles, and the 'True Lord,' 'Dongzhu,' 'Xianshi,' or 'Dashi' that follow are just titles. Of all the examples you just gave... the only one that fits the 'four-character' Daoist title is fellow Daoist Mad Saber Three Waves."
As he spoke, Venerable White clapped his hands lightly and said, "If you want a four-character Daoist title, then you can take inspiration from Three Waves's title. For example, Overlord Blade Song Three? Hmm, it seems that title would indeed suit you very well!"
"No, absolutely don't." Song Shuhang shouted. This kind of gangster nickname is not what he wants at all. At least give him a more elegant nickname!
He, Song Shuhang, a college student who loves literature, would be considered a scholar in ancient times. He absolutely does not want this kind of bandit-like nickname that sounds like a bully.
"Haha." Venerable White laughed, picked up several bayberries with his fingers and stuffed them into his mouth, looking satisfied.
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..."
Then, Venerable White continued, "Actually, four-character Daoist titles aren't that great. I feel that one-character Daoist titles are the best; they're so easy to remember."
For example, the Venerable Bai's Daoist name consists of only the character "Bai".
It's so simple it's almost bland!
However... if he were to choose a Daoist name consisting of only one character.
Song Shuhang thought for a moment, "If I had to choose one word... Book? Sword?"
Book True Lord? Sword True Lord?
It actually sounds surprisingly cool.
Venerable White: "..."
Senior White sighed and said, "Young friend Shuhang, you're clearly a young person who grew up immersed in the internet, but I've noticed that your vocabulary is surprisingly limited. Besides 'book' and 'sword'... can't you think of any other Daoist titles?"
Song Shuhang replied, "Because after thinking it over, only these two things best match my image of a cultivator."
Venerable White shook his head and said, "If you really can't think of a good Daoist name, then it really is still 'Overlord Blade Song Three'."
"No, no! Senior White, I absolutely don't want this Daoist title!" Song Shuhang cried out in despair—he didn't want to become the second Senior Three Waves; being too reckless would get him killed.
Perhaps it was because Song Shuhang's screams were so impressive that several fellow Daoists from the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' were drawn over from afar.
The Eastern Fairy floated lightly Water-Treading: "A Daoist name? Young friend Shuhang, are you choosing a Daoist name?"
Even a simple movement of Water-Treading on water, when performed by the Eastern Fairy, becomes as pleasing to the eye as a dance.
Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Yes."
"Hehe, I thought the pressure of studying was your Daoist name, but it turns out that's not it," Eastern Fairy chuckled.
"That's just a screen name, a screen name!" Song Shuhang said helplessly. The seniors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group all remembered 'The Pressure of Books'. Would they still subconsciously call him 'The Pressure of Books' after he had his own 'Dao Name'?
No, absolutely not!
We need to get the Daoist name sorted out quickly, and try to get it done today.
Northern River's Loose Cultivator also drifted over leisurely, chuckling, "Young friend Shuhang, what kind of Daoist name would you like?"
Song Shuhang asked in confusion, "Are there different types of Daoist titles?"
"These are just some classifications I came up with for various 'Daoist titles' when I was bored," Northern River's Loose Cultivator said with a smile.
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Senior Northern River was Always-Online Saint Seiya, almost always answering the various questions raised by fellow cultivators immediately. In real life, he is the same, always fighting on the front line of answering questions.
Song Shuhang humbly asked for guidance, "Please enlighten me, Senior Northern River."
Venerable White and Eastern Fairy also looked at Northern River's Loose Cultivator with curiosity.
Northern River's Loose Cultivator began to explain in detail, "Let me briefly introduce a few types of Daoist titles to my young friend Shuhang. With the progress of the times, the Daoist titles of cultivators are no longer as rigid as in Ancient Era, and there are not so many rules and regulations. Let's start with the first type of Daoist title, which I categorize as 'place name' Daoist titles. This type of Daoist title is mostly given by cultivators who are the 'masters of a certain region,' directly turning their region and cultivation place into their Daoist title."
"For example, Senior True Lord Yellow Mountain?" Song Shuhang's mind raced, and he immediately replied.
Northern River's Loose Cultivator nodded and said, "Yes, it's the same type as Senior Yellow Mountain. There are also similar ones like 'Mount Hua Sword Immortal,' 'Cave Lake Hermit,' and 'True Monarch Divine Dragon Island.' Actually, my Daoist name also belongs to this category."
"These kinds of Daoist titles are quite simple!" Song Shuhang thought for a moment. If he were to use a region as his Daoist title, "Then should I be called Wenzhou? Wenzhou? or Cultivator Wenzhou, or something like that?"
That sounds really strange.
"The geographical name doesn't necessarily have to be limited to the two characters 'Wenzhou'. It can be as small as a village, a mountain, a river, or a well. It can be as large as a city or a province, it doesn't matter," Northern River's Loose Cultivator.
Song Shuhang thought for a moment, "So, I can be called 'China Daoren,' 'Zhejiang Jushi,' 'Wenzhou Sanren,' or even more specifically, 'White Whale Road Zhenren' or something like that?"
Venerable White: "Puff puff puff puff~~"
The Venerable couldn't help but retort, "Then you might as well be called the True Man of White Whale Road, Wenzhou City, China Province, China!"
"..." Eastern Fairy.
"..." Northern River's Loose Cultivator.
"..." A certain great Phoenix Slayer is about to awaken.
Song Shuhang hurriedly exclaimed, "Stop it, Senior White! It's not like we're registering our household registration! Besides, the Daoist title looks really strange when put together. When I introduce myself to other Daoist friends, it doesn't feel like I'm registering my name at all; it feels more like I'm giving out my package delivery address!"
The Eastern Fairy stroked her chin. "Actually, it feels pretty good. 'True Man of White Whale Road, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, Republic of China,' such a long Daoist title sounds impressive. And when receiving packages, you can write down the Daoist title, which can serve as both a name and an address."
"Absolutely not!" Song Shuhang said firmly.
Senior White: "Little Shuhang is very picky."
"I'm not being picky! It's just that the mailing address and number are really unacceptable."
"Ahem, let me introduce the second type then." Northern River's Loose Cultivator continued, "The second type is where cultivators use their 'special skills' as their Daoist titles. This kind of Daoist title has become quite popular in recent years. For example, Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman, Fellow Daoist Mad Saber Three Waves, the Medicine Master, and that Black Diviner, they all belong to this type. Those who are good at talismans use talismans as their Daoist titles, and those who are good at swordsmanship use swordsmanship as their Daoist titles, taking what they are good at."
Song Shuhang immediately fell into deep thought again...
