Regardless of the reason, as long as the source of the anomaly cannot be found, the blame could be pinned on Tyrannical Song and Immortal White.

Because during this period, only these two individuals had been meddling with him for several days!

Big Boss of the Dark Sun’s divination started, and its level of divination was completely different from that of ordinary people; the initial array of its divination spanned the area of a major city!

True massive calculation power was all poured into the divination array pattern, deducing the causality.

However, halfway through its deduction, it discovered that the causalities were blocked and the Heavenly Mechanism was obstructed.

“Buzz!” The Dark Sun forcefully shattered the divination array pattern.

It was the current Fifth Heavenly Dao, who was concealing the Heavenly Mechanism, plotting secretly!

Besides the current Fifth Heavenly Dao, someone else was severing the chain of causality in the shadows, preventing him from tracing this segment of causality.

However, the more the Heavenly Dao concealed, the more it inadvertently revealed the identity of the schemer—it was Tyrannical Song!

In the myriad practitioners in the universe, only Tyrannical Song could make the Heavenly Dao intervene to help him scheme.

This place holds no silver three hundred taels.

Moreover, when his body underwent transformation, it was only the favorability toward Tyrannical Song that was changing, which served as even stronger evidence.

“One day, one day, I will…” He paused midway again, hesitating for a moment: “Forget it, both Tyrannical Song and that Immortal White seem too dangerous. Before my grand plan succeeds, it’s best to avoid the two of them to prevent unnecessary complications.”

It was not because his favorability toward Tyrannical Song was continuously increasing, but rather, after losing a ‘burden’ on his body, his mind had become clearer, making him think rationally and understand what needed to be forsaken.

Rather than seeking trouble with ‘Tyrannical Song’ and ‘Immortal White’ and investing a lot of energy in retaliating against them, it was better to avoid them and scheme in the shadows.

This was how the Dark Sun reconciled it with himself internally.

“Stay calm, calm down. Do not be influenced by external information, prepare again for the annihilation plan, but this time, be more cautious.” The Dark Sun seemed to be talking to itself, yet also seemed to be communicating with the unresponsive body of the ‘Immortal Daoist.’

[Ding~ Are you afraid?] A woman’s voice abruptly resounded beside its ear.

The Dark Sun was startled: “!!!”

The fact that this woman’s voice had directly reached his ear implied that his hiding spot had been detected by someone.

If this woman could detect his hiding spot… then the Heavenly Dao would also have methods to pinpoint his location.

Having barely escaped from a wool-plucking operation jointly organized by Immortal White and Tyrannical Song, he had no desire to go back.

[But I must tell you, I still have seven similar sword scabbards!] The woman’s voice came through again.

The Dark Sun was utterly bewildered.

What was this similar sword scabbard thing, and did the recent strange transformation of his body have something to do with the ‘sword scabbard’ the woman mentioned?

Moreover, as there were still seven similar ‘sword scabbards’, did that mean he had to endure seven more transformations?

“Had it not been for the Heavenly Dao blocking the Heavenly Mechanism, my divination technique alone would have been sufficient to lock down the location and gather more information. What exactly is the current Fifth Heavenly Dao plotting?” the Dark Sun said in a deep voice.

At the same time, it called out into the void, “Who are you?”

[Ding~ Are you afraid?] It seemed to trigger a kind of ‘cycle mechanism’, as the woman’s voice echoed again.

About two seconds later.

[But I must tell you, I still have seven similar sword scabbards!] It was the same phrase, the same lines, even the tone had not changed at all.

Was it a recording?

This meant ‘she’ had recorded this long ago and left it behind… thus, this was likely a trap laid for him a long time ago.

Oh no, here it comes again.

Another wave of ‘subtly increasing Tyrannical Song’s favorability’ is attacking.

The effect this time is stronger than the last.

In the air, it almost seems like there is the scent of ‘Tyrannical Song’s favorability +1’.

“Continuing like this, I will be at a disadvantage. I need to set up a plan, secure a ‘hostile state’ towards Tyrannical Song, and not be influenced,” Dark Sun quickly made a decision and calmly chose the most rational option.

…

…

Elsewhere.

Self-corpse initially intended just to demonstrate ‘one-second’ of the Saber-Nurturing Technique to Su Clan’s Sixteen and mysterious ancestor of the Su Clan, and to exhibit his proficiency in the Saber-Nurturing Technique.

However, due to a slip of the hand, he accidentally slid and two extra seconds passed.

After stopping the Saber-Nurturing Technique, the self-corpse returned the sword scabbard, which radiated the ‘temporary divine artifact rainbow light,’ to Su Clan’s Sixteen.

In the process of handing back the scabbard, it made a buzzing sound as if it was reluctant to part ways with Tyrannical Song.

Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”

She had lived so long and had never seen such a domineering Saber-Nurturing Technique; it had already transcended the scope of Saber-Nurturing Techniques and touched the level of ‘principles and laws.’

[It’s a good thing I didn’t let Tyrannical Song try this Saber-Nurturing Technique on me. Otherwise…], the mysterious ancestor of the Su Clan thought, imagining herself radiating multicolored light all over, which would have been a sheer embarrassment.

“Although I completely fail to understand the principles of your Saber-Nurturing Technique, if it is your Saber-Nurturing Technique that cultivates magical treasures into a ‘Saber woman’ state in your mind, maybe it really is understandable,” Su Clan’s Sixteen eventually concluded.

She took back the glowing scabbard, intending to put it back in her storage space.

Just then, a woman’s voice came into her mind, conveying a vague intention — to ask her to help out and pass on the remaining seven scabbards to the fellow friend exhibiting the Saber-Nurturing Technique.

Su Clan’s Sixteen: “???”

This woman’s voice was likely from the sentient treasure of ‘Dao Artifact•Reincarnation Blade.’

The always dormant Reincarnation Blade had awakened?

For Su Clan’s Sixteen, this was a beneficial matter.

A fully awakened Reincarnation Blade could bring greater advantages and opportunities to Su Clan’s Sixteen.

Moreover… with the Reincarnation Blade asking her to hand over all the scabbards to Tyrannical Song’s manifestation, could the ‘Saber-Nurturing Technique’ for the scabbards also be effective for her?

If this continues, would the Reincarnation Blade turn into the shape of Tyrannical Song?

Tyrannical Song’s Saber-Nurturing Technique is really eerie!

Many thoughts flashed through Su Clan’s Sixteen’s mind, but ultimately, she took out the remaining seven ‘sword scabbards’ from her storage space and handed them to Tyrannical Song’s manifestation.

Self-corpse, puzzled, asked, “Fairy, why is this?”

“Why don’t you brush up each scabbard with the Saber-Nurturing Technique again? Although I can’t explain the principle, it would be greatly beneficial for Su Clan’s Sixteen!” Su Clan’s Sixteen said.

She felt uneasy explaining this scabbard to Tyrannical Song’s manifestation.

But on the other hand, self-corpse slightly smiled, seemingly grasping her intent in a second.

Song Shuhang already knew that Su Clan’s Sixteen was going to meet the ‘Dao Artifact•Reincarnation Blade’ left behind by the Fifth Heavenly Dao.

And since the scabbards in his hand had once housed the Reincarnation Blade and were somehow connected with it,

Thus, applying the Saber-Nurturing Technique to these scabbards might influence the ‘Dao Artifact•Reincarnation Blade’ and bring benefits to Su Clan’s Sixteen.

Song Shuhang had great confidence in his Saber-Nurturing Technique—using it on a dao artifact wasn’t his first time. Both the buzzing, cute-sell ‘Nine Virtues Phoenix Saber’ and the cool, big-eyed planet had endured the Saber-Nurturing Technique.

“Leave it to me,” replied his self-corpse.

He took the seven scabbards and grabbed them all in one breath.

“Not one by one?” Su Clan’s Sixteen inquired.

“No need. Just now I was only demonstrating my Saber-Nurturing Technique to the seniors, without exerting my real strength. So not just seven scabbards, even if you multiply that number by ten, it wouldn’t be a problem for me,” the self-corpse replied confidently.

When it comes to the cultivation of the Saber-Nurturing Technique, his main body, Tyrannical Song, is at the great master level.

[That one-thousand-strikes-per-second Saber-Nurturing Technique just now wasn’t his real strength? Moreover… this isn’t even Tyrannical Song’s main body, but one of his Three Corpses Avatars.] The mysterious ancestor of the Su Clan was astonished.

In the future, even shaking hands with Tyrannical Song’s main body must be done cautiously. A handshake might take about three seconds, and in that time, Tyrannical Song’s main body could do a lot—this thought made the mysterious ancestor of the Su Clan extra cautious.

Whoosh~

Opposite, the self-corpse went all out.

One-thousand strikes per second in the Saber-Nurturing Technique was something Tyrannical Song’s main body could achieve at the Eighth Stage Realm.

Now, his main body had surpassed ordinary immortals, reaching the ‘Sub-Immortal’ state. A thousand strikes per second were as effortless as breathing for him.

Nowadays, as long as the material of the magical treasure could endure it, ten million strikes per second were just basic operations for Tyrannical Song’s main body.

Being an avatar, the self-corpse, when going all-out, could achieve this number too.

This time, the objects to be nurtured were Dao Artifact scabbards; there was absolutely no need to worry about them being damaged.

Thus, the self-corpse went all out.

If it could be said that the splendor of the Saber-Nurturing Technique previously demonstrated by the self-corpse resembled the early morning sun… then the radiant splendor of the technique at this moment was like the scorching midday sun of summer.

Su Clan’s Sixteen and the mysterious ancestor were enveloped by this brilliance, feeling an intense heat and… an intangible increase in their favorability towards Tyrannical Song.

“So far apart, and still affected?” the mysterious ancestor of Su Clan exclaimed in surprise, stepping back a bit more.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

This time, Su Clan’s Sixteen had not set an ‘end’ time, and the self-corpse, reveling in freedom, simply could not stop.

…

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

The Dark Sun had completely gone mad.

It had just been preparing to research a magical technique to lock Tyrannical Song in a ‘hostile state,’ but at this moment, a woman’s voice relentlessly echoed in its mind.

Those two sentences, with a pause of 2-3 seconds between them.

Yet this time, each utterance of these sentences came with its own echo, six echoes to be exact.

[Ding~ Are you scared? Scared, scared, scared, scared, scared, scared?]

[But I must tell you, I have seven more similar scabbards! Each, each, each, each, each, each!]

The Dark Sun’s mind was filled with ‘scared, scared, scared’ and ‘cut, cut, cut’…

After struggling against this devilish echoing female voice, the Dark Sun gritted its teeth and developed a rudimentary form of the ‘lock Tyrannical Song in a hostile mode’ magical technique.

A big boss is truly a big boss; a few simple spells could be figured out just with a few thoughts.

The moment the rudimentary form of the spell was completed, the Dark Sun couldn’t wait to apply this technique to itself to test the effects—it just wanted to resist the shocks of physical anomalies, and could upgrade it slowly later on.

The magical technique was significantly effective.

After using this technique, its deep inner allegiance to Tyrannical Song was locked in ‘hostile mode.’

However, that function of ‘favorability towards Tyrannical Song +1’ seemed to be continuing still.

This function, within its body, was divided into two parts.

One part acted on the ‘ruler of the Netherworld’ segment of its body and produced a continuous effect.

The other part landed on the ‘Immortal Sand,’ and was quickly neutralized by the ‘eternal’ characteristic, losing its effect.

The eternal attribute, theoretically a good thing, should eliminate all adverse status effects.

But now, the ruler of the Netherworld segment continued to be affected… The eternal attribute part remaining unharmed, a subtle balance between the two was subtly being disrupted.

[This time, the most correct choice is to retreat the ruler of the Netherworld part back into the ‘Immortal Material.’ By the protection of the eternal attribute, separate the impacts brought by the physical anomalies.] The Dark Sun was very calm internally, knowing what the most correct choice was.

But…

Its subconscious seemed somewhat resistant to this choice!

Just as the Dark Sun was feeling conflicted… The woman’s voice next to its ears and the body’s anomalies suddenly disappeared.

Had Tyrannical Song stopped his actions?

Or had the duration of the trap’s effects come to an end?

[It’s good that it’s over.] The Dark Sun thought to itself.

Thus, it need not be conflicted about whether to retreat into the ‘Immortal Material’ to eliminate the impact Tyrannical Song had left.

…

…

At the Su Clan’s Ancestor Star.

“It should be about enough,” the self-corpse suddenly stopped the delightful action of nurturing the scabbards.

He could have continued to nurture endlessly as long as Su Clan’s Sixteen did not call a halt—he could directly induce anomalies in those seven scabbards!

But a certain intuition transmitted from his main body made the self-corpse stop his actions.

That intuition seemed to be entangled with a ‘lucky karmic connection.’

[Is it the part of me affected by Senior White calling for a halt?] A realization dawned in the self-corpse’s mind.

At this moment, stopping the Saber-Nurturing Technique was the luckiest choice for him?

“Not continuing anymore?” asked Su Clan’s Sixteen—Reincarnation Blade had not alerted her about halting, and honestly, she was quite curious to see if the ‘scabbards’ could transform into Saber women just like in Tyrannical Song’s hologram.

“It’s about enough, moderation is key, and slow is smooth,” the self-corpse slightly smiled, his expression brimming with reliability.

As he smiled, his presence gradually diminished…

[Does his presence weaken when not demonstrating the Saber-Nurturing Technique, meaning the sole purpose of Tyrannical Song’s this avatar is to nurture sabers?] Su Clan’s Sixteen thought to herself, while quietly pulling on that invisible thread, preventing Tyrannical Song’s avatar from wandering off.

…

…

Deep within the Su Clan’s Ancestor Star.

Su Clan’s Sixteen was led by another avatar of Su Clan’s Sixteen to the palace where the ‘Dao Artifact•Reincarnation Blade’ was located.

“I won’t go in any further,” said Su Clan’s Sixteen with a smile.

“Okay,” nodded Su Clan’s Sixteen, and pushed open the grand doors of the Reincarnation Blade Palace.
