Chapter 2873: What’s This, Such a Teeth-Gritting Situation?

Senior White’s final words seemed like a casual excuse to comfort everyone, easing their guilt.

Song Shuhang reached out to take the gemstone Senior White handed him, infusing a strand of ‘Immortal Yuan’ into it—a stage where a cultivator’s energy levels evolve again after reaching the ninth-rank Heavenly Tribulation Immortal, progressing from initial blood and qi power to true qi, then spirit power, profound saint’s mystique, culminating in the current ‘Immortal Yuan’.

Each transformation marked a significant qualitative leap in a cultivator’s strength.

As he injected this strand of immortal energy, a picture of everyone together popped up on the gemstone.

In the forefront of the photo, Senior White held a plump whale-sized golden pill in his left hand, while Song Shuhang held a transforming mechanical daughter in his right hand, perfectly symmetrical and visually pleasing.

Moreover, this printed spell-preserved photo had a few seconds of dynamic time.

Senior White captured several moments of everyone smiling, including the ‘Spectating Saint’ in the adjacent space who, even while being fiercely struck by heavenly thunder, managed to squeeze out a gracious smile, laughing through his tribulation.

People who smile often generally have good luck!

“Looking at this photo, it suddenly feels like a high school graduation picture,” Song Shuhang couldn’t help but sigh.

After taking his high school graduation photo, he graduated from his alma mater.

Today, after taking this group photo, he was graduating from the ‘Heavenly Tribulation’!

Senior White smiled faintly. He reached for another piece of gemstone, packaged it with a disposable flying sword • Poxiaoblackcave edition, flicked it with his fingers, and sent it to the Spectating Saint next door as a memento.

“Unconsciously, this has actually become my last encounter with Heavenly Tribulation… In the future, even if I want to see Heavenly Tribulation again, I’ll have to rely on others. Such is life,” Song Shuhang put away the Immortal Yuan, and the printed pattern retracted into the gemstone.

Just like leaving alma mater, even though in the future he could still visit his high school, his identity had permanently changed. He wouldn’t return to campus as a student, just as a passing visitor.

Thinking of this, Song Shuhang felt a subtle sense of reluctance.

But, people inevitably grow up.

You can’t stay in high school forever… Cultivators are the same way. As long as they keep advancing, someday they will overcome all Heavenly Tribulations and grow into great Immortal bosses.

“We’re about done. Let’s go,” Senior White said. He didn’t share Song Shuhang’s deep attachment to Heavenly Tribulation.

Under their feet, the Thirty-Three Beast Combination Artifact dispersed. Two sets returned to envelop Song Shuhang, merging into the Spiritual Lake to nourish him, while one set landed on Senior White’s Meteor Sword, transforming into a scabbard.

At the same time, the live broadcast from various worlds was cut off—this time, there was no lecture from Ba Song!

The practitioners from all realms felt both regretful and relieved.

This bittersweet feeling was hard to describe.

“Elder Eater, we’ll take our leave first. See you in the mortal realm!” Song Shuhang clasped his fists and bid farewell to the Spectating Saint.

“Wait, Ba Song, Senior White, don’t rush off! After passing through Heavenly Tribulation, there’s still a ‘Soul Endowment to Immortal Void’ phase. Only by endowing the soul to the void can one truly ascend to Immortality! Don’t miss this step,” the Spectating Saint reminded hurriedly as Song Shuhang and Senior White prepared to leave.

Elder Eater was in a simple state and always thinking of others, making him a true whale among whales.

Ba Song could leave as he had already reached the level of Immortal before entering Heavenly Tribulation. But Senior White had been promoted from the eighth to the ninth level, without ever undergoing the ‘Soul Endowment to Immortal Void’ phase throughout the process.

“Thanks for the reminder, Elder Eater, but when our soul reached the eighth level, it was successfully endowed into the Immortal Void. So we’re good,” Song Shuhang waved his hand in farewell.

Elder Eater was startled.

You endowed your soul into the Immortal Void at the eighth level? How did you manage that?

As cultivators, why do you have so many tricks up your sleeves?

Or is it that most of us cultivators have been doing it wrong, and we should actually start endowing the soul into the void when it reaches the eighth level?

Under Elder Eater’s gradually dimming spotlight eyes, Song Shuhang and Senior White waved goodbye. Their figures gradually faded out of the ninth-rank Heavenly Tribulation space, returning to the mortal realm.

As soon as the two stepped out of the Immortal Tribulation space, pure original energy gathered in the void, rushing into their bodies to replenish what they had expended during the tribulation…

This was a major benefit of advancing to the ninth rank of Heavenly Immortals.

If there was any consumption, it would be replenished; if not, this part of the original energy of the heavens and earth could increase the strength and quantity of the ‘Immortal Yuan’, enhancing their cultivation.

A series of Heavenly Immortal characteristics appeared on Song Shuhang and Senior White.

This was an inspection process in the Heavenly Immortal world. After passing the tribulation, the cultivator had to ensure that all ‘Heavenly Immortal functions’ were fully equipped without omission.

“Oh right, Shuhang, this is for you,” Senior White reached out and handed the ‘Immortal Whale Golden Pill’ to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang pinched the Immortal Whale Golden Pill and swallowed it like swallowing a sword.

The Merit Snake Beauty pinched her chin in contemplation—perhaps next time, in addition to snatching lines, she could also snatch the ‘Immortal Whale Golden Pill’.

She and Song Shuhang were one body, able to freely enter and exit Song Shuhang’s ‘spiritual lake of life’.

Therefore, after swallowing the Immortal Whale Golden Pill, she could also hide in the spiritual lake of life and release the golden pill.

This way… she was once again ahead of the Fairy of Creation.

In this struggle, she won again!

After swallowing the Immortal Whale Golden Pill, Song Shuhang gently touched his stomach. “Next time, I should consider developing a trash-talk skill.”

“Dragon’s Breath?” Senior White asked.

“Yeah, Fat Whale Spit?” Song Shuhang replied. “When trash-talking, I could take the opportunity to spray the ‘Immortal Whale Golden Pill’ out to kill enemies. The effect would be awesome.”

An immortal pill couldn’t be easily destroyed.

Senior White pondered for a moment and nodded. “Sounds interesting. When I have time, I’ll develop a simple spitting skill for you.”

“Thanks, Senior White… Ah~” Before Song Shuhang could finish his words, suddenly a big mouth appeared out of nowhere in the void, biting down on half of Song Shuhang and leaving only his legs outside.

In the void, the head of the Catastrophic Turtle slowly emerged.

The turtle chewed hard and made a crisp little sister’s voice: “Teeth-gritting, what’s this?”

“It’s Shuhang,” Senior White reminded.

“It’s you!” The Catastrophic Turtle little sister clearly recognized Senior White.

Then she immediately recognized what she was chewing on: “It’s you, the teeth-gritting Ba Song! What, why is it you again?”

Song Shuhang was speechless.

I was just about to ask, why is it you again?

This time I didn’t use the Skylark Fairy’s parts, right? Why are you targeting me again?

Don’t tell me it’s the Immortal Whale Golden Pill!
