Would you like to sign a contract and become Eight Cultivations?

Song Shuhang: "Overlord Whirlwind Slash!"

He unleashed the "Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles" movement technique, moving with lightning speed, and slashed at the Sea Urchin Warrior on the far right! He roared "Overlord Whirlwind Slash," but his attack was actually a 'Flame Blade'.

This is something I learned from the disciples of the Void Sword Sect and the Chu Household during the Immortal Severing Platform Battle not long ago—when fighting head-on, shouting out your skills can boost your momentum and increase the power of your moves.

However, if one shouts out the real name of their move, it's easy for the opponent to counter it. Therefore... most cultivators will shout out a powerful name when they make a move in direct combat. Firstly, it boosts their morale; secondly, it confuses the enemy; and thirdly, if their ultimate move has a lame name, they can use a fake name to cover it up.

In short—while shouting 'Blade Storm,' he actually uses 'Savage Impact,' making him a fun way to trick unsuspecting opponents.

Unfortunately for Shuhang, the four Sea Urchin Warrior opposite him were completely unmoved by this tactic. Their eyes were bloodshot, they were utterly irrational, and they didn't use their brains to think during the battle.

When Song Shuhang slashed down, the rightmost Sea Urchin Warrior bravely used his chest to block the Flame Blade and reached out to grab the Overlord Shatter Saber, trying to create an opportunity for his three companions to counterattack.

"He really does have the fighting style of Sea Urchin Warrior," Song Shuhang thought to himself. He wasn't alarmed by the Sea Urchin Warrior's desperate stance.

Shuhang's eyes were bright; he noticed every single detail of the Sea Urchin Warrior' movements. At the same time, a strange feeling welled up inside him—the four Sea Urchin Warrior's movements seemed sluggish to him, full of flaws.

"The movements are too sluggish, with too many unnecessary actions during combat."

"Without any movement techniques to aid me, relying entirely on instinctive speed... let alone four people surrounding me, even ten more wouldn't be able to hurt me in this situation."

In the process of improving his martial arts proficiency using Young Master Phoenix Slayer's CPU, he also copied a lot of basic knowledge. In addition, he has been engaged in a Shuhang battle with the giants for the past two days.

His eyesight and combat experience improved considerably without him even realizing it.

Faced with the Sea Urchin Warrior' life-or-death fighting style, Shuhang chose to activate the 'Azure Wind Acceleration Talisman' on his body.

"The Azure Wind Acceleration."

A wisp of green wind swirled around him, greatly increasing his speed once again.

A flash of light.

The Sea Urchin Warrior on the far right didn't even have time to reach for the blade before it was engulfed in flames and Body-and-Soul Annihilation.

With a flick of his wrist, Song Shuhang unleashed the Dragon Dance Form <Reverse Scale Saber Technique>, which had been poised to strike before the attacks of the other three Sea Urchin Warriors could land.

The Saber Qi Dragon Transformation, soaring and swirling.

Ding ding ding ding!

The attacks of the three Sea Urchin Warriors were all blocked by the 'Dragon Dance Form'. The three Sea Urchin Warriors were also knocked back by the rebounding force of the Saber Qi and retreated repeatedly.

After repelling the three Sea Urchin Warriors, Song Shuhang did not pursue them. Instead, he used the 'Azure Wind Acceleration' to quickly dart into the depths of the Ancient Tomb, not wasting time entangled with the Sea Urchin Warrior.

With the Azure Wind Acceleration and the speed of the "Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles," the three Sea Urchin Warriors were quickly left behind.

And so, when Song Shuhang had charged fifty meters, he found that there were more Sea Urchin Warrior blocking his way.

This time, there were ten Sea Urchin Warriors, each with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression staring at Song Shuhang.

"Roar~~~" Song Shuhang roared, using the Lion's Roar Technique combined with his Mouth Aperture Talent 'Phantom Voice'. After the roar, the ten Sea Urchin Warrior froze, stunned by the Lion's Roar Technique.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Song Shuhang leaped high into the air, soaring over the heads of the ten Sea Urchin Warriors. The effects of 'Azure Wind Acceleration' had not yet worn off, and he continued his frantic sprint.

And so, with the help of the enhanced Lion's Roar from the Phantom Voice and the accelerated Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles from the Azure Wind Acceleration, Song Shuhang dashed past five Sea Urchin Warriors in one go.

When they encountered the sixth Sea Urchin Warrior, there were already as many as twenty Sea Urchin Warrior blocking their way, which was no longer a number that could be overcome by jumping.

Moreover, at this moment, the 'Azure Wind Acceleration' effect on Song Shuhang dissipated.

"Looks like we're in for a tough fight," Song Shuhang.

Even if the twenty Sea Urchin Warrior had just entered the Second-Grade Realm were all in a state of cerebral hemorrhage and were fighting only on instinct, without any movement techniques, skills, or martial arts, it would still be very difficult to deal with them.

So, Song Shuhang reached into his pocket, intending to use the power of the 'Sword Talisman' to wipe out the twenty Sea Urchin Warrior.

Just as Song Shuhang was preparing for a fierce battle, a roar and howl came from behind him.

The five Sea Urchin Warriors that had previously fought their way through now gathered together, forming a Sea Urchin Warrior legion, and charged towards Song Shuhang.

"..." Song Shuhang: "They all came over here, really. After being defeated, couldn't they just stay put?"

He decisively took out the 'Sword Talisman' and activated it!

However, Song Shuhang completed the process of activating the Sword Talisman... the Sword Talisman failed to activate and did not unleash any sword energy.

"What's going on? Could it be that I just happened to touch Senior Seven Lives Talisman's failed attempt?" Song Shuhang quickly switched to Sword Talisman and prepared to activate it.

However, the second Sword Talisman also failed to work.

If it's not the Sword Talisman, could it be that Talisman Treasure cannot be used in this 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations'?

Song Shuhang guessed correctly!

Long, long ago, a fellow Daoist named Mad Saber Three Waves explored the Tomb of True Monarch Five Cultivations and brought in a powerful Talisman Treasure. In the end, by sheer coincidence, Mad Blade Three Waves used the powerful Talisman Treasure to nearly blow up the entire Tomb of True Monarch Five Cultivations... Mad Saber Three Waves himself was almost killed in the explosion.

Thus, an array was added to the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations' to suppress the 'Talisman Treasure'.

Song Shuhang had no choice but to put away the Talisman Treasure and grip his Overlord Shatter Saber: "I should have just faced them head-on and fought them all."

But now, there's no time for him to regret it.

The Sea Urchin Warrior legion roared and pounced madly on Song Shuhang. Their claws, teeth, spikes, and every part of their bodies transformed into powerful weapons.

<Reverse Scale Saber Technique> Dragon Scale Form!

The Saber Qi transformed into dragon scales, completely enveloping Song Shuhang.

Although there were many Sea Urchin Warriors, only a few could attack Song Shuhang at the same time. Their attacks landed on the Dragon Scale Form and were all blocked.

At the same time, Song Shuhang began his counterattack.

He unleashed a full array of techniques, including the Vajra Foundation Fist, the Flame Blade, the Lion's Kung Fu, and the Steel Hand he had only just begun to grasp yesterday.

After a fierce battle, Song Shuhang finally managed to defeat all the Sea Urchin Warrior.

These Sea Urchin Warrior were not in good condition; their eyes were bloodshot, and they didn't coordinate with each other. They were attacking based solely on instinct. Although they possessed the Second-Grade- grade cultivation level, their actual combat power was probably less than that of a First-Grade cultivator with three or four apertures.

So despite their large numbers, they were all killed by Song Shuhang.

After these Sea Urchin Warriors were killed, they did not leave behind corpses, but instead transformed into flames and lightning, rising up and becoming part of the lightning and fire at the top of the passage.

Song Shuhang looked up at the lightning and Mars overhead—indeed, the Sea Urchin Warrior from before weren't living creatures. Were they mass-produced using some special method within the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations'?

Is there any special significance to fighting these fake Sea Urchin Warrior?

Forget it, let's not think about it too much. Let's go through this fork in the road (number 7) and explore the depths of the Ancient Tomb... maybe we'll find the answer there.

With that in mind, Song Shuhang continued deeper into the fork in the road.

This time, he honestly dealt with each wave of Sea Urchin Warrior one by one.

Similarly, after dealing with ten Sea Urchin Warriors, Song Shuhang stepped into the stone chamber of the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations'.

A huge, simple stone chamber, and a golden coffin cast in gold.

And the moment Song Shuhang stepped into the stone chamber... he felt the amount of true energy in his body surge.

Is it a trap?

No, it's not a trap; this should be a perk after passing through the fork in the road!

But this benefit came at the worst possible time.

What a misfortune...

Song Shuhang felt bitter. He had gone through the 'Mount Tai Sealing Technique' and then fought against a hundred giants for two whole days. He had finally managed to improve his physique and prevent the true qi in his Qi Sea Dantian from overflowing.

But unexpectedly, just as he was overcoming the crisis of 'true qi exploding', a fortuitous encounter occurred, and his true qi surged again. His Qi Sea Dantian began to throb with pain again, and he felt as if he might explode at any moment.

"It hurts so much, it's unbearable, I'm going to explode, am I going to die here?"

As he pondered, the Golden Coffin in the stone chamber opened, and the mummy's figure crawled out and floated to Song Shuhang's side.

The moment the mummy floated out, Song Shuhang was Body-Fixing Technique in place, unable to move even a little finger except for his eyes.

The mummy floated to Song Shuhang's side, reached out and began to flip his eyelids, touch his nose, ears and mouth, and even forcibly opened his mouth to look at his tongue.

After examining his facial features, the mummy figure then read Song Shuhang.

After reading his palm, the figure threw Song Shuhang to the ground, grabbed his legs, and took off his shoes to examine the soles of his feet.

Song Shuhang's posture at this moment was extremely shameful; he really wanted to die.

After examining the soles of Shuhang's feet, the mummy figure suddenly sighed, "Nice legs... but it's a pity, why is he a man?"

Song Shuhang: "..."

If I were a woman, I would have already reported you for sexual harassment!

Setting down Shuhang's legs, the mummy's figure floated back to the Golden Coffin, grabbed the tortoise shell, and stuffed eight copper coins inside. Then, it converted the information about the face, hands, and feet into runes and input them into the tortoise shell.

The tortoise shell shook, spun a few times, and finally fell to the ground.

After the coins landed, they formed two neat rows of four coins each.

A strange hexagram.

The mummy figure stared at the divination symbol on the ground for a long time, pondered, and then began to calculate with its fingers.

After a long while, the mummy floated back to Song Shuhang's side. "Young man, although you are a man, I see that you have extraordinary bone structure, and your legs are quite nice..."

Song Shuhang: "..."

"Well, how should I put it? I can't figure out the fate between us. This divination is half 'very destined' and half 'completely destined'. To be honest, I don't know how to interpret such a strange divination," the mummy figure said.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Are divination methods reliable?

Speaking of fortune telling, Song Shuhang immediately thought of the senior Copper Trigram Immortal Master, from the Nine Provinces Number One Group —it's said that Copper Trigram Immortal Master's divination results must be interpreted in reverse. But what if, by chance, Copper Trigram Immortal Master also divined a completely different answer? How would one interpret it in reverse? Just thinking about it makes him feel very interesting.

At this moment, the mummy continued, "How about this, young man, considering your nice leg shape, why don't we sign a contract and become... Eight Cultivations?"

[If you can, you really don't need to give me face regarding the shape of my legs.] Song Shuhang thought to himself.

Moreover, what bothered him even more in the mummy's words was the word 'Eight Cultivations'.

Sign the contract and become Eight Cultivations?

What's the meaning?

A number of things immediately came to Song Shuhang's mind.

The Venerable Seven Cultivations's avatar 'White Jade Lion Four Cultivations', the 'Tomb of True Monarch Five Cultivations' which was explored by predecessors in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, and now they are exploring the 'Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations', as well as the Venerable Seven Cultivations.

Song Shuhang vaguely guessed a possibility.

Could it be that the Venerable Ones of the Four Cultivations, Five Cultivations, Six Cultivations, and Venerable Seven Cultivations all signed a contract with a certain 'person' and became (numerical) cultivators?

Then, if I sign the contract, will I become one of the 'Eight Cultivations'?

But why did the White Jade Lion, the 'Four Cultivations,' become an avatar of the Venerable Seven Cultivations?

At that moment, the mummy reached out and grabbed the bandage on its arm, pulling hard.

Like peeling away layers of a cocoon, all the bandages wrapped around the mummy were pulled off, revealing the mummy's true form inside.

Beneath the thick mummy bandages lay an elegant woman.

The woman wore a light green long dress with a slit that reached her upper thigh, making her both sexy and elegant. The dress was embroidered with butterfly patterns, and these butterflies were actually moving, fluttering their wings across the green dress.

The woman had long, dazzling golden hair. Her eyebrows and eyelashes were also golden.

When she opened her eyes, even her pupils were golden.

Song Shuhang recognized her at a glance—it was the blonde woman who had captured fourteen Golden Core Cultivator from the Limitless Demon Sect and the Scattered Practitioner Thousand Cliffs team in one fell swoop in the Cave Abode of Venerable Seven Cultivations.

"Venerable Six Cultivations?" Song Shuhang exclaimed. As the blonde woman unwrapped her bandages, the 'Body-Fixing Technique spell' on him was lifted.

Could this woman be the Venerable Six Cultivations?

But she's still alive and well. Song Shuhang could sense a powerful life force emanating from her; she was definitely not a 'puppet,' 'zombie,' or 'Resentful Ghost.'

Since he was still alive, why build a "Tomb of Venerable Six Cultivations" and bury himself in Golden Coffin?

Is it just a personal hobby?

"That's right, I am Six Cultivations," the blonde woman said calmly. "Furthermore, although I once reached the Venerable Realm, now my strength is limited to the Sixth-Grade True Lord realm."

"So, little guy, are you interested in signing a contract and becoming Eight Cultivations?"

The same question... In the mirror-like stone tomb next door, Six Cultivations was also asking Chu Chu the same question.
