Song Shuhang said, “If there aren’t more clues that you know of, then you can only dream about finding where Slow-Witted Song hid that secret technique.”

Yu Jiaojiao: “…”

Her heart went cold all of a sudden

Song Shuhang comforted, “But you don’t have to worry. If you have the time, then you can just continue searching in the ‘Dragon King Palace’. Perhaps you can find other messages exchanged between Slow-Witted Song and the ancestral golden dragon and find some clues.”

Yu Jiaojiao replied, “Alright, since I’ve already invested so much energy into finding the ancestral golden dragon’s messages, then it shouldn’t be a problem investing more of my spare time into this! My instincts tells me that this opportunity must belong to me!”

Song Shuhang encouragingly said, “You got this. I’m optimistic that you can do this.”

Yu Jiaojiao said, “Then let’s go and look at the plaque.”

Song Shuhang nodded, only that he couldn’t see anything on the plaque.

The ancestral golden dragon’s message on the plaque read, [Drop dead, stupid Song One x10,000!]

As for what Slow-Witted Song’s message might be, Song Shuhang bet that it would be another reply with mockery.

However, since they were already here, then of course they would still check out what Slow-Witted Song wrote back.

The two were once again at the entrance of the Dragon King Palace. They looked up at the plaque.

Yu Jiaojiao asked, “Did Slow-Witted Song leave a message here?”

“Let me see.” Song Shuhang carefully looked at the plaque—perhaps there was a faint connection between him and Slow-Witted Song and his messages, which others couldn’t find, could be found by Song Shuhang as long as he took a careful look.

Song Shuhang said, “In the middle of the three words ‘Dragon King Palace’… there’s a gap between the ancient characters. There should be a message from Slow-Witted Song there.”

Yu Jiaojiao said, “Got it, I’ll update it real quick.”

After saying that, she quickly returned to the main world to look for Slow-Witted Song’s message.

She wondered how that death-seeking Slow-Witted Song might have replied to the ancestral golden dragon’s message.

[Golden-furred thing, you should be the one to drop dead 10,000 times, and everyone in your family register as well! Wait, I forgot that you’re a sad single dragon! You’re the only one in that register, and that’s even worse than dying 10,000 times. Haha, single dragon, single dragon, single dragon!]

Yu Jiaojiao: “…”

There were already things like family registers in the ancient era?

This time, Slow-Witted Song’s message was divided into two separate lines.

The one above was a message from Slow-Witted Song roasting the ancestral golden dragon, while the part below was his actual message.

[I’ve been very busy, okay? I’ve spent the past ten years transferring the inheritance of the Divine Beast Department. According to the plan, the transfer was successful, with one part being in the light and one in the dark, ending the karmic ties between me and the Divine Beast Department. But then, I got into another fight with some other people. However, since I couldn’t win, I’ve been on the run for more than seven years. F*ck my life. I’ve wanted to come here to get you to help me beat them up, but it took me seven years to get my face to become thick enough. I did not expect that by the time I let go of my honor and got to the Dragon King Palace, you’d already left. What am I supposed to do now? I’m very desperate.]

Yu Jiaojiao: “…”

With a strange feeling, she returned to Song Shuhang’s dream and forwarded the message to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang saw the two messages and only had one thought in this mind.

It must not have been easy for the ancestral golden dragon to hold herself back from killing Slow-Witted Song.

How good was the ancestral golden dragon’s temper? Even the most gentle and calm woman would likely want to kill Slow-Witted Song when facing him.

At the same time, it could be seen that the relationship between the ancestral golden dragon and Slow-Witted Song was really great. When Slow-Witted Song couldn’t beat his opponents, he actually chose to run to the ancestral golden dragon, intending on borrowing her assistance.

There was also the mention of ‘death of everyone in the family register’… Did the ancient era even have something like ‘family registers’ already? If it did, well, then it was nothing special. If it did not, then things became quite interesting.

However, this wasn’t important.

The key point in Slow-Witted Song’s message was: [I’ve spent the past ten years transferring the inheritance of the Divine Beast Department. According to the plan, the transfer was successful, with one part being in the light and one in the dark.]

Needless to say, the inheritance of the Divine Beast Department left in the light was definitely the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Sect.

In addition, there was still the inheritance of the Divine Beast Department in the ‘dark’.

This was good news for Song Shuhang.

If he could find the inheritance of the Divine Beast Department left in the ‘dark’, maybe he could get the complete forging method for the combined magical treasure of the Divine Beast Department.

Song Shuhang smiled slightly, and said, “This is an opportunity… for me.”

Yu Jiaojiao said, “Heavens~”

Why did it end up becoming an opportunity for Song Shuhang?

Song Shuhang said, “Jiaojiao, if you have time, look for more messages exchanged between the ancestral golden dragon and Slow-Witted Song. I have a gut feeling that the messages between the two of them are definitely something valuable. We might both be able to benefit from this!”

Yu Jiaojiao replied, “Why do I feel that you’ll be the only one who benefits?”

“It must be just your misconception,” Song Shuhang said. “Let’s work together to crack the secret technique hidden by Slow-Witted Song. Come on, Jiaojiao, I believe in you.”

Yu Jiaojiao said, “Okay, let’s have a good cooperation. Shuhang, please pay more attention to the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ these days and see when Senior Copper Trigram is online. If he is online, please ask him to do something for me. Tell him to ask that senior divine beast for news on the ‘ancestral golden dragon’. Maybe we can find out where the treasure trove hidden by the ancestral golden dragon and Slow-Witted Song is. After all, that divine beast is most likely the ancestral golden dragon’s pet.”

“No problem,” Song Shuhang said. He knew that it was difficult for Yu Jiaojiao to go online recently.

As for when Immortal Master Copper Trigram might go online, Song Shuhang wasn’t sure, either. He could only ‘follow’ Senior Copper Trigram in the group, activating a notification on his phone for when the latter went online. He just hoped that when Senior Copper Trigram came online, he’d still be awake and not busy.

After Shuhang and Yu Jiaojiao were done talking to each other, Jiaojiao ended the secret ‘dreamland’ technique. With her strength, maintaining this secret method for a long time and over a long distance was very taxing. She wouldn’t be able to sustain it if it weren’t for the spiritual energy and dragon energy at the Dragon King Palace.

After Yu Jiaojiao ended the secret technique, Song Shuhang slowly woke up.

With his current strength, he needed little sleep. The reason why he still slept every day was simply that it was a habit he had developed over the 18 years of his life. After he practiced for a longer amount of time, maybe he’d be able to remove his habit of sleeping.

When Song Shuhang woke up, he saw light on Gao Moumou’s bed.

Gao Moumou had woken up again in the middle of the night… but this time, the little turtle didn’t do anything—it didn’t feed Gao Moumou with any liquefied pills, nor did it put him in a magical state. Gao Moumou had just woken up habitually.

Habit was such a terrible thing. Because of it, Gao Moumou had woken up early in the morning, and then after waking up, he couldn’t sleep anymore.

He felt energetic again and his brain was awake. Coupled with it being night, the time when an author’s inspiration erupted, ideas and plots kept on emerging in his mind. As such, Gao Moumou, who couldn’t sleep, ended up bringing out his phone and started typing stuff.

Today, he did not open the laptop to type on in fear of making too much noise and disturbing Song Shuhang and Yangde in their sleep.

The corners of Song Shuhang’s mouth twitched.

Gao Moumou, don’t you have any other hobbies? Are you really typing again?

Song Shuhang secretly scanned Gao Moumou’s physical state with his mental energy and found that his condition was really good. As there was no problem with him, he let Gao Moumou continue to type.

❄️❄️❄️

Early in the morning.

As Song Shuhang quietly got up, all three of him roommates in the dormitory were still asleep. After Gao Moumou had typed for several hours in the middle of the night, he became sleepy again and fell asleep.

After Song Shuhang got up and washed up, he went to exercise. He then got breakfast for each of his roommates, and hung it on their beds.

Then, he turned on his phone and habitually looked at the chat history in the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’.

The seniors in the group had quite a serious chat yesterday.

They talked about their cultivation experiences and some other stuff. From reading all of the messages, Song Shuhang was able to gain quite a bit.

Joining the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ had many benefits. Every day, one would be given the opportunity to see a lot of seniors discussing. Even the core disciples of the big sects didn’t enjoy such benefits.

Just when Song Shuhang went online, True Monarch Eternal Fire sent him a private message. “Little friend Shuhang, you were looking for me yesterday?”

Song Shuhang replied, “Oh, yeah, there’s something that I wanted to clarify with Senior Eternal Fire. However, you weren’t online yesterday.”

True Monarch Eternal Fire replied, “Haha, yesterday, we of the scholarly faction had a meeting and passed a bill. I’m the one who put forward the bill, and it was all thanks to little friend Song Shuhang if it happened.”

Song Shuhang sent a “?”.

True Monarch Eternal Fire continued, “We’re going to start and try to transfer some of the smaller ancient Heavenly City fragments into the world of the golden lotus and see if we can integrate the fragments into the world of the golden lotus.”

Song Shuhang understood. When he transferred True Monarch Eternal Fire into his ‘Inner World’, he must have found the ancient Heavenly City fragments in the Inner World and came up with a similar idea.

“Did you succeed?” Song Shuhang asked—he also wondered if the world of the golden lotus would be able to integrate the ancient Heavenly City fragment like his Inner World did.

True Monarch Eternal Fire said, “We’ve only passed the bill, and have not yet actually begun. To be on the safe side, we plan on transferring a small fragment to the world of the golden lotus first. The small fragment is relatively far away, and it would take a day to get it all the way here. However, as we have to pay attention to eventual thieves during the move, it is expected that it will take at least two days before the operation can actually begin.”

Song Shuhang nodded—there wasn’t any other way. The scholarly faction did not have Senior White Two’s help, so the handling of the ancient Heavenly City fragments could only be carried out in a relatively rougher way.

True Monarch Eternal Fire asked, “Anyway, why was little friend Shuhang looking for me?”

Song Shuhang: “I wanted to ask if the scholarly faction collected any fragments related to the Divine Beast Department. You should also know that I practice the ❮Thirty- Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯, so I’m currently looking for information on the Divine Beast Department.”
