Tyrannical Song, could you have misunderstood what the word “closing up” means?

Come here. Allow me, the Guardian Dragon of Garre Holy Mountain, to teach you how to properly close up!

The divine dragon’s heart was in turmoil, to the point that it was ready to launch a breath attack to calm itself.

Shuhang’s branches continued to extend, all the way until they reached Sage White, Fairy White Dragon, Sixteen, and the divine dragon.

There were fruits of different sizes on the branches. The small ones were the size of plums, the regular ones were as big as a fist, and the large ones were as big as a casserole dish.

Sage White and Sixteen stretched out their hands, picked brightly colored fruits from the branches, wiped them, and then ate them.

The virtuous lamia, who was behind Song Shuhang, also picked one. She grew in size and ate one fruit with every bite.

Isn’t she a materialization of light of virtue? Why can she still eat? The divine dragon felt its horizons getting wider and wider.

This was the first time that it had seen a light of virtue do such a thing.

While it was lost in its thoughts, a faint fragrance entered its nostrils. The divine dragon’s claws involuntarily moved forward, plucking off a fruit from a branch and placing it into its mouth.

Mmh, delicious~

The taste of this fruit is special. Although the spiritual energy contained inside it is very low, it’s really tasty.

And depending on the size of the fruit, the taste is also different.

The smallest ones are especially good. When you put them inside your mouth, it feels like they’re popping.

The divine dragon ended up eating a few more fruits.

Sage White was holding a bag filled with plum-sized fruits in his hand.

“Ptui~ Ptui~ Ptui~” He then spat out a bunch of pips into a small pit nearby, using the Ground Leveling Spell to cover it up.

Sixteen took out her sword and began to skillfully cut down Shuhang’s branches so that they would not hinder his movements.

The virtuous lamia, Fairy Creation, and the black-skinned Soft Feather were responsible for processing the branches and turning them into long strips that Senior White could use for his disposable flying swords in the future.

A few branches that were especially lush were left behind as Song Shuhang planned to transplant them inside his Inner World and see if they could grow further.

At the same time, Sister White Dragon threw several fruits at the Almighty Merchant, who was hovering in the air.

The Almighty Merchant grabbed a fruit and gnawed it fiercely, just as if he were gnawing at Tyrannical Song’s body!

Sixteen’s movements were very smooth as this was not the first time that she has had to do this for Song Shuhang’s wooden body.

When she reached Song Shuhang’s waist, Sixteen saw that there was a unique fruit that was yet to ripen.

It seems that Song Shuhang does not intend to have this fruit ripen in advance and wants to nurture it little by little until it becomes something like a natural treasure…

Sixteen glanced at it and ignored it, deciding to let it grow.

Song Shuhang coughed lightly and asked, “Senior, is it delicious?”

The divine dragon’s claws stiffened slightly. “Yup, very delicious.”

Song Shuhang said calmly, “Then, can we move on to the next stage?”

The divine dragon’s claws stiffened again. “Sure.”

Feeding someone caused their heart to soften.

After enjoying the fruits from Tyrannical Song’s body, the divine dragon found itself more accepting of Tyrannical Song.

It had initially said that it would teach him how to close up, but it was no longer interested in doing so.

It was fine with simply proceeding to the next step.

“The next step is the last step of the ?Ape Dragon Miraculous Nascent Technique?.” The divine dragon wiped its mouth, and then continued, “Under normal circumstances, after a cultivator enters the Sixth Stage Realm, every small realm needs a lot of time to be handled properly. The Spirit Lake Conversion, the Laketop Life Wheel, the Ten Heavenly Layers, and the Lotus Formation, each of these generally takes a lot of time. It is especially so for the phase between the Ten Heavenly Layers and the Lotus Formation.”

“Mm-hm, it is indeed rather bothersome.” Song Shuhang sighed.

Sister White Dragon rolled her eyes. Bothersome your ass! You broke through the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth Heavenly Layer of each of your seven small dantians in just a few minutes!

After thinking for a while, Fairy Creation sang, “Oh~ You annoying little monster spirit~”

The virtuous lamia blinked and sang along, “You annoying soy milk maker~ Oh~”

The black-skinned Soft Feather carried Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword on her back and a bundle of Shuhang’s branches in her arms. This time, she did not interject as she felt that she could not keep up with her sisters.

There was a monster spirit and a soy milk maker. What else could she sing about?

However, her two seniors were very strict, and they turned their heads to stare at the black-skinned Soft Feather, expecting her to also join the performance.

The black-skinned Soft Feather felt very stressed.

Eventually, she sang, “Heyo~ You annoying… steamroller?”

Fairy Creation and the virtuous lamia looked at Soft Feather sympathetically, turning their heads quietly.

The black-skinned Soft Feather: “…”

The sympathetic eyes of the two seniors dealt huge damage to the heart of the inner demon.

Sister White Dragon was bored, so she entered translator mode again and translated everything.

The divine dragon’s whiskers twitched.

“I see that you’ve already dealt with the Ten Heavenly Layers Realm. What you need to do now is to go for the Nascent Soul, the most troublesome soy milk maker… Ack! The most troublesome small realm.” The divine dragon accidentally had a slip of the tongue.

Sister White Dragon happily translated the divine dragon’s words verbatim.

It really made her happy to do this kind of work.

The Lotus Formation Realm was the most time-consuming small realm. There were some Sixth Stage True Monarchs with insufficient talent who would devote themselves to the grind for thousands of years and eventually die in this small realm.

In the history of the world of cultivation, there were numerous True Monarchs who stayed in this small realm for hundreds upon hundreds of years.

After the divine dragon finally returned to its senses, it continued solemnly, “Now, you only need to complete the last step of the ?Ape Dragon Miraculous Nascent Technique?. By doing this, you can shorten the time you need to spend in the Lotus Formation from at least a hundred years to fifty… or maybe even less!”

“Senior, please advise me.” Song Shuhang sat down obediently and humbly asked for advice.

“The last step is a bit peculiar.” The divine dragon paused for a while and said, “Do you understand what ‘love’ is?”

The reason the divine dragon asked this question was that human cultivators had some ancient sects that practice cultivation techniques that rendered the practitioner emotionless.

“Of course I know.” Song Shuhang nodded and said, “I am a normal man, after all.”

Fairy Creation’s eyes lit up. “What is filial piety?”

The virtuous lamia asked, “What is love?”

Song Shuhang did not even look back. His long hair turned into two palms, grabbed the two fairies, and hung them on the branches of his wooden body.

The black-skinned Soft Feather gestured with her hands and quickly retreated.

“It’s great if you understand what love is.” The divine dragon nodded and said, “During the last step, you need to use the ?Ape Dragon Miraculous Nascent Technique? to transmit your love to the pseudo-dragon-pearls in your body.”
