Cultivation Chat Group (Web Novel)-Chapter 3074 - 3072: The Long Legs in the Time River

The consistency at the point in time, that is another "him" at this moment.

A perfectly ordinary university student.

Even from his unstable footwork, it seems he may have already lost his virginity.

It's just unknown if "he" has a girlfriend or not?

If he hasn't, it feels like a bit of a loss.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, violent bombing sounds came from the ground above, and the underground passage shook along with them.

Song Shuhang, carrying his father on his back, fell to the ground...

He appeared so weak and helpless.

I wonder what the reaction of the mighty powers from the myriad practitioners in the universe would be if they saw this scene?

[Without coming into contact with 'Nine Provinces Number One Group', he couldn't have encountered cultivation, wouldn't have met the seniors in the group, and couldn't have been there for Senior White coming out of secluded meditation... Therefore, he couldn't face the evil spirits.]

Without hard work, one can't even handle food ingredients.

Song Shuhang slowly closed his eyes, not having the heart to watch any further.

After that, his consciousness was 'pulled' back to the center of the sea urchin ball.

It was Dark Song who had been 'pulling' him all along.

"Eh? Could this be the Dao Mark function of the ruler of the Netherworld?" Song Shuhang speculated.

Since the very beginning, when he first touched this sea urchin ball-shaped 'Time River', it spread out centered on himself and Dark Song.

With Dark Song present, no matter where he is in 'Time', he doesn't have to worry about losing direction and can return at any time.

Is this one of the functions of the ruler of the Netherworld's 'Dao Mark'?

Moreover...

[On the Sea Urchin Spine, is the 'ordinary Song Shuhang' at the same time point really existing?]Song Shuhang pondered calmly.

Or is it just the power of the 'Time River', after some kind of deduction, ultimately presenting a calculated result in front of him?

Unless he personally visits the past to experience it, there's no way for Song Shuhang to make a direct judgment on this.

After a moment of thought, Song Shuhang's consciousness submerged once more into his own 'Cultivation Chat Immortal Path' to observe the progress of the immortal path.

Since he achieved the 'Sub-immortal' state in his whole body, the entire 'Cultivation Chat Immortal Path' is nearing completion. If it were expressed in numbers, at least 96% is already complete.

Song Shuhang's 'Sub-immortal' has gathered almost all the fragments of immortality information of the numerous Heavenly Daos, except for the most mysterious First Heavenly Dao and the Fifth Heavenly Dao that he has not yet come into contact with.

Under the feedback of so many different 'immortal information' pieces, the progress of the 'Cultivation Chat Immortal Path' almost instantly maxed out.

Now, even if Song Shuhang does nothing and lies around like a salted fish... Under the gradual influence of the 'Sub-immortal' and 'immortal' information, the 'Cultivation Chat Immortal Path' can still automatically complete itself.

Which means that the remaining 4% is just a tiny bit of grinding away.

But Song Shuhang, since the beginning of his cultivation journey, has gone through all sorts of great dangers and almost experienced everything except for 'grinding' through any realm!

The 4% progress could be ground away but could also be traversed by shortcuts for increased efficiency.

For example, now, as he observes time through the 'sea urchin ball Time River', the progress of the 'Cultivation Chat Immortal Path' begins to speed up.

[It's effective.]Song Shuhang nodded in satisfaction.

As long as it's effective!

He then continued his gaze on another 'Sea Urchin Spine'.

This time his 'entrance into the Time River' view was zooming in from large to small. First, it was the entire world, then it closed in on Huaxia, narrowing down further...

On a broader scale, this 'Sea Urchin Spine time' was just as chaotic as the previous world.

The spiritual qi between heaven and earth was chaotic, mixed with the scent of evil spirits.

```

However, this time Song Shuhang, stuck with Sea Urchin Spines, was in a relatively good environment...

He was in the Spirit River Su Clan's base!

Song Shuhang had been a guest at the Spirit River Su Clan several times, so he was able to recognize the place through its layout.

[The outside world must still be in the state of the evil spirits calamity... Yet I am staying in the Spirit River Su Clan, being protected...]

[There's only one truth!]

[I have married into their family?]

Song Shuhang intelligently guessed.

Soon, the scene zoomed in on the 'suspected married-in Song.'

Then, Song Shuhang saw himself, with his legs broken, sitting in a wheelchair, looking dispirited.

Song Shuhang: "!!!"

Heavens, what happened?

For a moment, Song Shuhang's mind conjured some melodramatic plotlines [the protagonist cheats, gets his legs broken by the heroine, and spends the rest of his life in a wheelchair].

Behind the wheelchair, Su Clan's Seven's tall figure appeared, gently pushing the wheelchair, heading deeper into the Spirit River Su Clan's base.

Song Shuhang: "..."

Why is it Su Clan's Seven!

It couldn't have been Su Clan's Seven who broke my legs!

Isn't Sixteen here?

From beginning to end, there seems to be no sign of Sixteen.

While he was pondering, Su Clan's Seven pushed him into a young girl's boudoir.

It was Sixteen's boudoir.

In the room, on the large bed, Sixteen was in a coma, each of her breaths carried the fiery scent of firecrackers—residual damage from the heavenly tribulation.

[Has Sixteen's injuries not healed, did she fail her 'Heavenly River Trial'?]

[No, if the trial failed, she would have died instantly. That means Sixteen is still in the midst of the 'Heavenly River Trial'?]

Su Clan's Seven pushed Song Shuhang next to Sixteen.

Sixteen's hand moved slightly in her coma.

Seven bent down and placed Song Shuhang's hand into Sixteen's hand.

Then he sighed softly and quietly left the room.

[Obviously, 'I' have made contact with the Nine Provinces Number One Group and met its seniors. But... there's no sign of Senior White. And the traces of cultivation on 'my' body are very faint, almost like I had just started the Hundred Days Foundation Establishment. Does this mean I was severely injured soon after starting my cultivation, with my foundation damaged?]

At that time point, the ones who would seriously harm me... could it be Young Master Hai's trio?

Because of Sixteen, I was left crippled by Young Master Hai's trio... Hence, there were no scenes of me greeting Senior White coming out of secluded meditation... following that, the trip to the mysterious island surely didn't happen, leaving no chance for Sixteen and The White Dragon to come across the 'skeletal dragon's withered vine.'

With the Spirit River Su Clan's resources, they might find another 'skeletal dragon's withered vine' for Sixteen, but The White Dragon wouldn't be in any other vine.

Without The White Dragon secretly assisting, Sixteen's 'Heavenly River Trial' wouldn't be completed so quickly, which is why she is still in the midst of the trial.

So, Young Master Hai truly is my lifelong enemy, huh?

He managed to corner me at some point and cripple me right in the Newbie Village.

After roughly deciphering the past events on this 'Sea Urchin Spine,' Song Shuhang continued to observe himself and Sixteen from a spectator's perspective.

[Should I beat up Young Master Hai again when I get back?]

But thinking about it, forget it... a slight movement of my fingers now, and Young Master Hai would be crushed, let alone needing to strike him.

```

```

[Right, where's Senior White? At this point in time, Senior White must have come out of secluded meditation... If Su Clan's Seven seeks help from Senior White, maybe there's a chance to save severely injured me, or provide some assistance to Sixteen?]

Either Su Clan's Seven didn't do so, or... Senior White isn't here?

At this thought, Song Shuhang remembered the 'ordinary Song Shuhang' world from before.

There, there was no sign of Senior White either.

Although at that time, his vision was limited to seeing the 'ordinary Song' and Papa Song running frantically in the 'underground passage'.

But... if Senior White were there, things like evil spirits shouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.

Unless, at both points in time, there was no Senior White? freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Or perhaps Senior White had left Earth for some reason?

Troublesome.

I'll send what I've observed and my speculations to the seniors later. A single person's thoughts are always one-sided, but a group's thoughts tend to be more comprehensive.

Unity is strength.

Thus, Song Shuhang's consciousness began to withdraw from this 'Sea Urchin Spine Time River'.

As he withdrew, his comprehension of 'time' deepened a bit.

Roughly estimating, the progress bar for his 'Cultivation Chat Immortal Path' had risen by at least another 0.5% in a short period of time.

"Return," Song Shuhang softly called.

Using Dark Song as a Dao Mark, his consciousness began to return from the Time River, back to his own node.

His consciousness slid off that 'sea urchin spine'.

In the process, an idea struck Song Shuhang.

—He discovered that walking through the Time River also brought him different understandings, which similarly could stimulate his 'Cultivation Chat Immortal Path'.

As a result, Song Shuhang deliberately slowed his return.

With Dark Song there, he didn't need to worry about getting lost. In case of an emergency, Dark Song's Dao Mark could generate a 'pulling back' force, forcibly drawing him back.

He could afford to slow down and enjoy the scenery of the 'Time River'.

—But to be honest, there wasn't much to see on the journey through the Time River.

Sometimes it was an expanse of white, sometimes pitch black, and sometimes a dazzling array of colors. Someone who isn't used to it might feel nauseated after a while.

"But cultivation is inherently a boring task. Those who cannot endure the boredom do not deserve to be called cultivators," Song Shuhang felt that he might not be a very qualified cultivator.

Because...

After enduring for a while, illusions appeared before his eyes.

At a certain corner in the Time River, he saw a pair of long legs.

The impressively noticeable kind.

"Even an illusion like this with long legs has appeared. So what next, could the illusion of a 'Red Powder Skull' appear? If I proceed further, maybe a new Inner Demon could be condensed?" The more Song Shuhang thought about it, the more feasible he found the idea.

His current Inner Demon—a mechanical little hand that could cook demon cuisine—was too well-behaved.

It was so well-behaved that Song Shuhang couldn't bring himself to deal with it harshly.

If he could create an Inner Demon capable of rapid growth, that would be quite nice. One to provide the ingredients, the other to make 'demon cuisine,' a match made in heaven!

While pondering, the owner of those long legs at the corner took a step forward, revealing her figure.

"Huh?" Song Shuhang was startled.

This head of long black hair cascading like a waterfall, the bright eyes, the sweet smile... is it Soft Feather?

No wonder he felt that those long legs were exceptionally out of the ordinary and somewhat familiar.

```

"Wait, if this is the 'Red Powder Skull' stage, then Soft Feather's appearance is somewhat hard to explain," Song Shuhang whispered.

Across from him, Soft Feather also froze for a moment, almost thinking she had seen an illusion.

She had just quietly left the drunken state of Soft Feather and was returning from the Time River... At this moment, she was still weaving the images of seniors from the Nine Provinces Number One Chat Group in her 'main world'.

But when she looked up, she found Senior Song floating in the Time River with a puzzled expression.

Since when did Senior Song have such means?

A moment later.

Soft Feather from the other side tentatively called out, "Senior Song?"

"Ah, it's me," Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Soft Feather?"

"It's me," Soft Feather nodded and said.

"Not an illusion or something like an Inner Demon?" Song Shuhang asked again.

Soft Feather shook her head, "I think there isn't a second Inner Demon that would dare to be born on Senior Song."

Song Shuhang suddenly realized, "Oh, are you Future Child?"

Soft Feather: "..."

Senior Song had always been a genius at coming up with nicknames.

Da Da Zi, black-skinned, fat ball, Senior White two, Faint White, big monkey... and so on, a series of nicknames that later became customary, were originally just offhanded nicknames by Senior Song.

"If Senior Song wants to distinguish, the nickname Future Child indeed isn't wrong," said Soft Feather from the other side, nodding.

"You've come over again?" asked Song Shuhang.

"Mm... This last time, I went to see the seniors. After this, I probably won't go there again," Soft Feather said softly.

And she couldn't go there even if she wanted to.

The next time frame for Senior Song was during the period of the heavenly tribulation's reincarnation reversal.

Thinking of this, Soft Feather suddenly thought of a possibility and looked up to ask, "Senior Song, have you achieved immortality?"

"No, not yet," Song Shuhang waved his hand, "I've just completed the 'Sub-immortal' status of my entire body."

Does Future Child's existence imply the reality of each spine on the 'Time River'?

After hearing that 'the entire body had completed Sub-immortalization', Soft Feather's expression relaxed considerably, and her smile became more lively.

Overall, her demeanor seemed to have become youthful by several years.

"Senior Song, I have to go," Soft Feather waved her hand, "Please..."

As Soft Feather spoke, her figure began to fade and disappeared into the Time River.

"Please achieve pseudo-immortality? Or perhaps... transcend?" Song Shuhang's gaze lingered on the place where Soft Feather had disappeared.

Future Child had come to his era multiple times, even mentioned his own thousand-year seclusion, and her significant transformation... it felt like a great change had occurred.

[Shouldn't I go and see?]

A thought suddenly emerged in Song Shuhang's mind.

The place where Soft Feather disappeared might just be the 'Sea Urchin Spine' on the Time River that she represented.

Although he couldn't see the future... he could infer some content from the 'current Song Shuhang' information on that spine.

[Opportunity, I also have about one chance left.]

He could see many Time Rivers, but that didn't mean he had the ability to understand each one.

With his own power, the big-eyed planet, and the Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber's strength, it should be enough for him to touch another Time River once more.
