Chapter 1161: You are one of a kind

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

The Great Northern Emperor has existed ever since the era of the ancient Heavenly City. As such, he naturally had some knowledge on the matters of the ancient Heavenly City’s Divine Beast Department, especially considering that he clearly had a good relations.h.i.+p with Slow-Witted Song.

Song Shuhang listened and said with a smile, “So that’s the case. No wonder I’ve been getting the feeling that Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s appearance was really similar to my illusory core’s.”

Sage Monarch Melon Eater said with dissatisfaction, “My appearance is similar to your illusory core? Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song, are you saying that I’m as round as a ball?”

An illusory core was the framework for a golden core, so all illusory cores were illusory spheres. With that said, could Fellow Daoist Tyrannical Song be saying that he was fat?

Although he was a whale and his volume was quite large… he was only a little plump and definitely not fat!

Interestingly, when Song Shuhang mentioned his ‘illusory core’, Sage Monarch Melon Eater did not think that Shuhang’s realm was at the Fourth Stage. Sage Monarch Melon Eater had subconsciously thought that Song Shuhang was simply referring to ‘when he was at the Fourth Stage’. After all, Sage Monarch Melon Eater had the impression that Song Shuhang’s strength was definitely at the ‘Eighth Stage’ realm.

Song Shuhang explained, “Fellow Daoist Melon Eater, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean to mock your size. What I practice is the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯, which has caused my illusory core to be different from that of ordinary cultivators. Mine has taken on the form of a giant whale.”

“Huh?” Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s whale face showed great surprise. One had to take note, that it was difficult for Melon Eater to even make such a rich facial expression being a whale. “You shouldn’t try to deceive me just because I seem uncultured. In fact, I am someone who possesses several doctoral degrees!”

Don’t lie to me! I’ve lived so long, yet I’ve never heard of anyone’s illusory core growing into the shape of a whale—this was what Sage Monarch Melon Eater was expressing.

Su Clan’s Sixteen blinked. The same went for her, she had never heard of anyone’s illusory core being in the shape of a whale.

As for the monster bird, Little Cai, she showed no interest in the topic. After all, she was a monster cultivator and her path was different from that of humans until she managed to condense a monster core.

s.h.i.+ and Lady Onion, on the other hand, were still unaware of anything related to what was happening…

Finally, the Great Northern Emperor looked at Song Shuhang with curiosity. He held his chin and said, “Little friend Song, as far as I know, there shouldn’t be a difference between the illusory cores of ordinary cultivators and those of the Divine Beast Department. This is also the first time I’ve ever heard of anything like what you’re saying, a giant whale-shaped illusory core?”

“Ah?” It was now Song Shuhang’s turn to be dumbfounded.

Cultivators who practiced the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ did not have such a mutation?

So what had happened to his illusory core?

Could it be that Senior White’s modified ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯ was special?

Alternatively, was it because he had directly skipped quite a few things and experienced the ‘divinity show’, the Profound Sage Speech, and condensed his Sage Seal when he transcended the heavenly tribulation of the Fourth Stage, thus causing his illusory core to mutate?

Or perhaps it was because of both of those things having happened that his illusory core mutated…

Regardless, at this moment, Song Shuhang understood that his illusory core was definitely different from that of others.

The Great Northern Emperor said, “I’ve always felt like you were quite an interesting little fellow. Sure enough, you’re indeed special.”

Not only was Song Shuhang’s light of virtue related to Fairy ＠#%×, his ghost spirit was even the daughter of Cheng Lin and a valiant man surnamed ‘Ye’—the Great Northern Emperor still believed that Ye Si was the child of some powerful man surnamed ‘Ye’ who had done it with Cheng Lin.

These two of his friends were coincidentally brought together to little friend Song through fate, as you would expect from @#%× and Cheng Lin.

Then he checked Song Shuhang’s state—and sure enough, inside his origin dantian, there was a fat whale illusory core lazily lying around, motionless.

The core which took the shape of a giant whale really did appear to have been based on Sage Monarch Melon Eater’s ancestor. That divine beast should have been called ‘Divine Whale, or maybe ‘Whale G.o.d’.

It was really a situation where the illusory core had taken the form of a divine beast. The Great Northern Emperor, who had lived ever since the ancient era, had never encountered such a thing.

[I wonder what it will end up looking like once Shuhang reaches the Fifth Stage realm and condenses a golden core… Will he directly condense a seven or eight-pattern golden core? Or could it even directly turn into a supreme golden core with nine dragon patterns? Or perhaps, simply a whale-shaped golden core would be condensed?] The Great Northern Emperor found himself very curious.

It was unfortunate that little friend Song had only just transcended the tribulation of the Fourth Stage and it was still going to be quite a while before he transcended the tribulation of the Fifth Stage.

However, I could probably try to lay a firmer foundation for him while he’s at the Fourth Stage so that he can ascend to the Fifth Stage much faster, the Great Northern Emperor thought to himself.

As an Immortal, the great emperor rarely encountered anything that could interest him.

As a consequence, the great formation which the great emperor was setting up underwent some changes. The location reserved for Song Shuhang had become much more complicated.

In this way, when Sage Monarch Melon Eater went through the ‘body abandoning’ ceremony, Shuhang would be able to gain greater benefits.

❄️❄️❄️

Half an hour later.

The Great Northern Emperor clapped his hands and said, “Done!”

With the Great Northern Emperor’s strength, he could set up ordinary formations with a single thought.

However, this ‘body abandoning’ formation was a bit special. In addition, as the great emperor had changed some details in the formation halfway through, the entire large formation took him quite a while to complete.

At this moment, below everybody’s feet, there was a roughly ten-kilometer-wide formation.

The Great Northern Emperor used his magical powers to conceal the formation. With this, the formation won’t leak any of its aura, making it such that ordinary people would be unable to detect it.
