Chapter 2962: Chapter 2960: Teaming Up with Top Tycoons (Another Plea for Monthly Passes)
“`

A Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender’s advancement to Immortal is immensely difficult, and Zither Master Phoenix Bearing has the deepest understanding of this among everyone!

Among the many pendants on Song Shuhang’s body, the one that signifies the hardships of proving his Dao and immortality belongs to Zither Master Phoenix Bearing’s main body.

Her main body was also a genius cultivator with extraordinary talent and a firm mind and willpower… However, she was just a hair’s breadth away from those monstrous geniuses who could truly step onto their own path to immortality.

The reason why Zither Master Phoenix Bearing later managed to prove her Dao and attain immortality was due to the assistance of the ‘Great Dao of the Ancient Heavenly Court’.

——This was also one of the key attractions of the Heavenly Emperor’s ‘ancient Heavenly Court’ back in the day.

Claws of Zither Master Phoenix Bearing remembered the process her main body went through to prove her Dao and achieve immortality; it was so arduous as to bring one to tears. If one were to describe it, it could be turned into an epic depicting the ‘experience of hundreds of tribulations and final attainment of immortality.’

But then there’s Tyrannical Song.

After being hit by the Heavenly Emperor’s ‘Senile Dementia Sword’ and crashing here for some time, a ‘gentle radiance’ of the Immortal’s Great Way Light Wheel suddenly appeared behind his head.

The whole process left the claws of Zither Master Phoenix Bearing dumbfounded, completely unable to grasp the principle behind it.

“Somehow, it feels a bit sour in my heart,” said the claws of Zither Master Phoenix Bearing.

“Don’t worry, if you keep feeling sour, you’ll soon become numb to it,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword comforted.

Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet said, “As someone who has been there, I understand how you feel. But don’t worry, you will soon adapt.”

Zither Master Phoenix Bearing’s claws: “…”

“Moreover, if you think about it from another angle, the price and hardships Shuhang has paid to prove his Dao and attain immortality are not small either. For example, in that ‘instant,’ he died hundreds of times. Isn’t this an immortal realm that he exchanged for his life?” Pavilion Master Chu, with her dumb hair, is truly the most understanding big sister when it comes to consoling others.

She described the cost of Song Shuhang proving his Dao from a different perspective, giving the impression that Tyrannical Song’s path to immortality was also not easy.

Thinking about it this way, Zither Master Phoenix Bearing felt much better indeed.

“Right, to die hundreds of times in an instant… Although it was a short time, the tribulations he went through were not any fewer than ours,” said the claws of Zither Master Phoenix Bearing.

“I agree with that point. Ever since I started following Tyrannical Song, I never saw any other cultivator who, in the shortest time, underwent the most tribulations and suffered the greatest pains… Especially in the early stages, even though Tyrannical Song’s cultivation speed was fast, every increase in his realm was a desperate struggle for life. When it comes to enduring pain and death, I, Stone Tablet, acknowledge Tyrannical Song as the strongest!” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet said solemnly.

“What kind of path to immortality did Senior Song step onto?” Black-skinned Soft Feather reached out her hand, attempting to catch the ‘gentle radiance’ from the Immortal Light Wheel.

The radiance of the Immortal’s Moon Wheel flowed over Black-skinned Soft Feather’s fingertips.

This scene was like a beautiful painting of a beauty under the moon, incomparably exquisite.

“For some reason, I always feel that Senior Song’s path to immortality… has a kind of melancholic flavor.” Black-skinned Soft Feather added.

This was also her confusion about Song Shuhang’s path to immortality.

Inside the gentle light of the moonwheel’s brilliance, there seemed to be traces of melancholy and cruelty.

Senior White Two’s voice came through, answering Black-skinned Soft Feather, “It should be a path to immortality that has evolved from that ‘neither living nor dead’ Dao.”

“Finally, Tyrannical Song has also reached the realm of Immortal, that’s great!” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet said—now, Tyrannical Song has also become the ‘Immortal big shot’ he once described himself as. With this, the scenes of Tyrannical Song confronting ‘big shots’ should become much less frequent, right?

After all, other immortals could only be on the same level as him, and confronting an immortal wouldn’t be called ‘challenging a big shot’ anymore.

Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet felt like his own pressure had lightened a lot.

“`

“Has proving my Dao and attaining immortality really ended this simply?” Black-skinned Soft Feather put her hands down, blinked her eyes, and asked with confusion.

When one proved their Dao as an Eighth Stage Profound Sage, there would be tremendous scenes such as ‘showing their divinity in front of the masses’ and ‘Profound Sage Speech’ across the myriad practitioners in the universe.

Advancing to the Ninth Stage Tribulation Transcender came with the ‘Thousand Days Tribulation’, a grand calamity. Once one proved their Dao, their primordial soul could project into the ‘Tribulation Transcender Void’. And when a new primordial soul appeared in the ‘Tribulation Transcender Void’… all the big shots sustained by it would feel it in their hearts.

But proving oneself as an Immortal just meant manifesting the ‘Immortal’s Great Dao Moon Wheel’ above their heads and then there would be no movement at all?

Is this what’s meant by great principles are of ultimate simplicity?

“Everyone’s path to immortality is different, and the grandeur of proving Dao as an Immortal varies as well,” Pavilion Master Chu’s dumb hair twirled slightly as she explained with a smile.

When she proved her Dao, she could attract an entire world; if the thriving and the withering tree were born without the suppression of the Crystal-clear Water Pavilion, they would directly manifest heaven and earth phenomena in a large world.

However, some paths to immortality prioritize a serene and quiet style, so proving Dao as an Immortal might just involve pausing for a moment, then crossing over into immortality in one step.

Each Immortal has a different character, different insights, and different paths they tread, so the style of their Dao proving varies naturally.

“I didn’t expect Tyrannical Song to be such a low-key person… This doesn’t seem to fit his image.” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword remarked.

After all, Tyrannical Song had monopolized the ‘Profound Sage Speech’ for the last half-year.

For the past half-year, no one in the myriad realms could find a more flamboyant and high-profile character than him.

Just as Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s words fell, under the ‘Immortal’s Great Dao Moon Wheel’ above Song Shuhang’s head, the three flowers converged, and the three corpses he had cut down appeared.

The steel manifestation also stepped through space, stopping behind Tyrannical Song.

Even Dark Song from the Netherworld Realm directed her attention to this place.

“As expected, Tyrannical Song is still going to stir things up,” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet remarked.

“No, the main body isn’t intending to cause trouble… it’s just that he needs some nourishment,” chimed in Song Fat Ball Windbreaker, looking sharp.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword: “???”

“Do you need spirit stones?” Senior White’s voice rang out.

“I really wish I also had a ‘Senior White’…” Zither Master Phoenix Bearing’s claws said enviously.

Back when she cultivated, if she had such a nouveau riche Senior who lent spirit stones without even wanting interest, wouldn’t her cultivation path have been much smoother?

“Thank you, Senior White, but I feel like we need something else, something more suitable,” Good Corpse Tyrant Kindness said with his hands clasped together.

“But we can’t quite say what specifically we need,” Evil Corpse Tyrant added.

The last one, the Self-Corpse Overlord, also seemed to have said something.

While the Self-Corpse was speaking, the ‘Cultivator Chat System’ issued a grand system announcement.

[System-wide Announcement: Congratulations to VIP user ‘Primordial Demoness’ for slaying two ‘Void Sun Guardians’, submitting the task, and completing the first round of the ‘Myriad Realms New Year’s Event•Task One’, successfully exchanging for a super reward with the Will of the Heavens!]

“So soon?” Pavilion Master Chu’s dumb hair was surprised.

“Looks like some top-notch big shots have joined forces to test out the rewards for this event,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword hypothesized.
