Cultivation Chat Group Chapter 3164: 3162: It's really great to meet such a special group of seniors.

Even now, Song Shuhang had not quite transformed into the "dependable senior" he visualized in his mind; he recognized that the journey toward becoming a true paragon of the Dao still required much study.

Consequently, his ego remained free of vanity, even after he had attained the heights of transcendence and eternity.

In the eyes of observers, however, Song Shuhang had already surpassed all expectations, performing his duties exceptionally well—truly beyond reproach!

It was unlikely anyone could have surpassed his achievements.

He had validated his Dao to reach immortality, suppressed the Fourth Dark Heavenly Dao through sheer force, and ultimately harnessed the collective power of every historical Heavenly Dao to finalize his transcendence.

Amazingly, this entire odyssey was concluded within the span of a single year.

Song Shuhang himself had never truly grasped just how legendary his image had become to those around him.

...

Because of this, Future Child understood the situation perfectly.

The Soft Feather of 2020 was bound to mature—regardless of Senior Spirit Butterfly’s protection, she could not maintain that same bubbly, innocent, and whimsical nature centuries into the future.

Once her perspective evolved into that of a mature woman, she would realize that among the countless practitioners across the universe, a second "Senior Song" simply did not exist.

By staying close to Song Shuhang, she was free to play, indulging in exclusive VIP experiences like "secret realm quests" and "random map explorations" as she pleased.

It was possible... that she never truly had another option from the start.

However, Future Child chose to keep these thoughts to herself.

After all, the current Senior Song had genuinely transcended to immortality, standing far above the Will of the Heavens.

The various dilemmas facing the Soft Feather of 2020 were best left for the all-powerful Senior Song to handle personally.

With such immense power comes a heavy burden of responsibility, does it not?

It hardly seemed fair for her, a Soft Feather existing in "the future," to fret over the Soft Feather of the year 2020.

She had her own goals to pursue!

Currently, her heart was set on ascending as the Ninth Heavenly Dao of this era!

“It is time to depart, Mister Song. The seniors of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ from this timeline have arranged a gathering, and they are waiting for your arrival.” Future Child summoned a massive spirit butterfly, nimbly leaping onto its back before gesturing toward Song Shuhang.

“I’m coming—I just need to finish coordinating with Senior White. I’ll hand out those gifts to everyone right before we depart,” Song Shuhang replied with a grin, landing smoothly upon the giant spirit butterfly.

The creature beat its wings and soared toward the horizon.

“By the way, Mister Song. In this time period, I don't really call you ‘Senior Song’ anymore,” Soft Feather remarked from her seat. “And... once I become the Ninth Heavenly Dao, you won't be allowed to stop me if I decide to visit the year 2020 occasionally, Mister Song.”

Song Shuhang: (☄⊙ω⊙)☄

So, I’m no longer ‘Senior Song’?

“Don’t worry about that. The moment I achieved immortality and transcendence, the barriers preventing you from ‘tracing back’ to that era were dissolved,” Song Shuhang said, smiling.

“Hee~” Future Child gave a radiant beam.

The spirit butterfly flapped its wings gently, climbing higher into the sky.

Quietly, Song Shuhang turned his head away from Future Child, massaging his face to soothe the tension in his nerves...

The implications behind Future Child’s words were far too deep.

His expressive face cycled through a thousand reactions to these "messages" in a heartbeat—and because so many emotions were required at once, his immortal facial nerves nearly suffered a spasm.

...

...

The celebration with the seniors of the “Nine Provinces Number One Group” lasted until the deep hours of the night.

Song Shuhang had generously ensured every senior was thoroughly intoxicated.

While the seniors were lost in slumber, Senior White began the delicate task of grafting grains of “Immortal Sand” into the various members of the group.

When the time came for Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, a wave of concern hit Song Shuhang. He asked, “Senior White, do you think Thrice Reckless might become even more terrifying than Senior Skylark once he has the ‘Immortal Sand’? Is his future mountain of discarded body parts going to overflow the world or clog up the paths of every practitioner in the universe?”

Just the mental image caused Song Shuhang to shudder.

He pictured it—the entire globe buried under layers of “Thrice Reckless spare parts.” Even if one escaped to the stars, they would find endless “Thrice Reckless spare parts” drifting through the void.

That would be a catastrophe worse than the end of days!

The most frightening part was that Thrice Reckless was exactly the kind of person who could make it happen!

He lived a life of daily recklessness because he sought the peak of “deathless recklessness.” If he truly became someone who “could not die from being reckless,” there was no telling what heights of madness he would reach on his path.

“There is no need for concern,” Senior White said, comforting him. “My research factored in the properties of Fairy Skylark’s ‘bone of eternity.’ Therefore, every time he prepares to resurrect, any remaining ‘Thrice Reckless spare parts’ will detonate, converting into pure spiritual energy to nourish the world. You won’t have to worry about the world being polluted by his remains. In fact, the more Thrice Reckless dies, the more the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth will flourish.”

“That is a massive relief,” Song Shuhang exhaled, feeling the weight lift.

Otherwise, with individuals like Fairy Skylark, Thrice Reckless Mad Saber, Senior Copper Trigram, and Doudou in the “Nine Provinces Number One Group” going all out, the Earth would be buried in three days!

As Song Shuhang relaxed, the female giant turtle of disaster and her hidden companions were also moved to tears, letting out heavy sighs of gratitude.

The giant turtle of disaster had nearly fallen into despair just a moment ago when Song Shuhang mentioned the world being filled with Thrice Reckless’s parts.

The mere thought of such a nightmare was suffocating.

Thank goodness the white-robed senior was so competent!

The problem was completely solved.

Once every member had been successfully implanted with the “bone of eternity,” Song Shuhang gave a satisfied nod.

“Are you departing now?” Senior Yellow Mountain suddenly inquired, opening his eyes.

“Yes, we’re heading out. But although I am leaving, I am actually with all of you at every moment. Since I have transcended, I am no longer bound by space or time—I am everywhere!” Song Shuhang proclaimed with a heroic air.

Even if he took Senior White and left, his omnipresent nature allowed him to stay by everyone's side in a manner that surpassed mortal comprehension.

Upon hearing this, Senior Yellow Mountain didn't look touched. Instead, he shakily pulled a small vial from his pocket and, with slightly clumsy fingers, took out two pills and swallowed them.

Song Shuhang: ???

This was not the reaction he expected from Senior Yellow Mountain!

Was it possible that while having the powerful Tyrannical Song around was fine, the idea of Song Shuhang being “everywhere” was just a massive headache for Senior Yellow Mountain?

“This is just hangover medicine,” Senior Yellow Mountain clarified, offering a gentle smile.

Then, Senior Yellow Mountain stood up and pulled Song Shuhang into a hug. “You’ve endured much, Shuhang. What should have been the burden of the future was placed upon your shoulders in the past. As a senior, I wasn't even able to provide much assistance.”

“I am the one who is grateful, Senior Yellow Mountain. Thank you for inviting me into the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ back then; thank you for not removing me immediately; and thank you to every senior in the group who patiently and kindly helped me on my path of Cultivation,” Song Shuhang spoke with total sincerity. “Joining the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ was the best thing that ever happened to me!”

Finding such a unique group of seniors—it truly was a wonderful thing.
