Chapter 2885: White’s Decision

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Though for unknown reasons, the “Heavenly Dao Technique” was incomplete, only reaching the eighth realm.

Nevertheless, the “Worldly Dual Virtue Merit Art” still possessed many extraordinary divine abilities.

Both the Virtuous Lamia and the Sage Monarch Melon Eater, practitioners of this technique, had obtained the authority to enter the “Merit Network.”

Not to mention the blank “Path to Immortality” hidden within this merit network.

There was a time when Song Shuhang suspected that the “Almighty Merchant” might have left behind this path to immortality—after all, the Almighty Merchant was equally mysterious, with a body full of intriguing points.

Now, it seemed that this “Path to Immortality” and the “Worldly Dual Virtue Merit Art” cultivated by the Virtuous Lamia were both left behind by Daoist Priest Virtue.

It was even possible that the Almighty Merchant was connected to Daoist Priest Virtue!

“If we think along these lines, there might be some clues,” speculated Song Shuhang. “For instance, maintaining this merit network definitely requires a stable energy supply. This network spans across myriad worlds, so the consumption must be immense. And the Almighty Merchant, zealously collecting spirit stones and spirit veins… could it be related to this?”

Thinking this way, the Almighty Merchant was simply an unsung hero quietly safeguarding world peace and making money.

It touched her slightly.

Senior White was speechless.

He felt Song Shuhang was overthinking it. The reason why the ‘Almighty Merchant’ was fervently earning money shouldn’t be to replenish the consumption of the merit network. The reason was simple—after all, even if the ‘Almighty Merchant’ earned a large amount of spirit stones every second, it wouldn’t be enough to sustain the merit network.

The vast merit network that covered the myriad worlds consumed an enormous amount of energy, far beyond what spirit stones could support.

“The power left behind by Daoist Priest Virtue is starting to weaken,” warned Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet.

Without the “Merit Network” to provide continued energy, the image of Daoist Priest Virtue before them began to fade, unable to suppress the virus particles for long.

“Why don’t we just let it explode? After all, this is the Heavenly Dao’s small black room,” Pavilion Master Chu suggested absentmindedly.

As long as Senior White took Song Shuhang away, the virus particles could explode to their heart’s content.

“Whether it explodes or not is secondary. Our main purpose in coming here is to study how to deal with this virus and find a solution,” said Song Shuhang. “After all, we can’t let Senior White send all the virus-infected ‘stars’ in the universe into the Heavenly Dao’s small black room.”

Senior White extended his hand towards the virus particle, quickly attempting various seals to see which would be effective against the virus.

Senior White had mastered many types of seals: spatial seals, elemental seals, seals on objects, and surface-sealing techniques…

Hundreds of sealing techniques flashed over the virus particle, but none had much effect.

Senior White withdrew his hand and said slowly, “We need to attain the Dao of the Heavenly Dao.”

Anything related to the aura of undying would suppress anything that wasn’t undying. To target the undying, one needed the same level of undying power.

“An undying needs another undying to suppress it, and… even if we find a way to solve the virus, it’s impossible to solve all the viruses in the stars of the universe in a short time,” Senior White pondered.

In the universe, there were big and small worlds. The small ones might only be a planetary system, while the big ones might encompass an entire vast universe.

In the vast universe, stars were endless.

If one were to deal with them one by one, the time required was simply incalculable.

Only by attaining immortality and becoming the Dao of the Heavenly Dao could one use the authority of the Heavenly Dao to suppress and expel the virus in a short period of time.

“Senior White, are you going to attain the Dao?” Song Shuhang looked at Senior White.

“In comparison… actually, I hope you can attain the Dao. White Two probably thinks the same as me,” Senior White suddenly said.

Song Shuhang was confused.

Senior White and Senior White Two actually had such high expectations of me?

“However, the Heavenly Dao Seat has too many unstable elements. Our understanding of the Heavenly Dao is still too limited. According to our current understanding, the Heavenly Dao Seat isn’t as peaceful as we imagine. It’s a big pit. So… I don’t want you to attain immortality,” Senior White added.

The more one understood about undying, the more its instability became apparent.

Clearly, it was ‘indestructible.’ Even if the world was destroyed, the Immortal Heavenly Dao could still exist. But the Heavenly Daos of past generations had changed.

The Immortal Seat wasn’t as good as everyone thought.

Considering this, Senior White didn’t want Song Shuhang to get involved in such trouble.

“Therefore, if we really want to attain the Dao… we have to consider the clues left behind by Heavenly Dao White, right?” Song Shuhang rolled up his sleeves, retracting the ‘Defiant Whale Glove’ on his right hand, revealing his fingers.

Now that his strength had reached the Ninth Stage Realm, Song Shuhang had a clear grasp of the secret appraisal technique. Even if he wasn’t wearing gloves, he wouldn’t accidentally activate the secret appraisal technique when his fingers touched an object.

The reason he had been wearing this glove was partly out of habit and partly because the ‘Defiant Whale Tool Spirit Fairy’ lived in it. Song Shuhang preferred to let her observe the outside world and grow.

“Two different individuals attaining the Dao simultaneously,” Senior White said slowly.

It sounded simple, but he still had no idea how to execute it.

“Is the method Shuhang used to get pregnant feasible?” Fellow Daoist Stone Tablet asked.

“An individual attaining the Dao must at least reach the level of a Tribulation Transcender who has condensed their own embryonic form of the Great Dao. Without that level, you don’t even have the qualifications to attain immortality,” Song Shuhang explained.

Getting pregnant wasn’t actually feasible.

“What about the ghost spirit? Although the ghost spirit and its master are technically the same entity, Senior Song’s ghost spirit is somewhat different, right?” Black Panther suggested.

“But my ghost fairy spirit still isn’t considered two complete entities,” Song Shuhang said, pressing his finger onto the ‘virus particle’ and activating his appraisal.

‘A virus clone created from an object tainted with an immortal aura… This is a subsidiary body of the Immortal Virus Mother.’

‘Solution: The Emperor Destroying Pillar can devour a small portion of the ‘Immortal Aura Virus Spawn’. Other solutions: Unknown.’

‘Note: Please do not come into direct contact with the virus.’

Song Shuhang replied, “The absorption capacity of the Emperor Destruction Pillar is limited… Are there any other solutions?”

As for the warning not to come into direct contact with the virus, Song Shuhang already had a method to deal with that.

He lightly flicked his finger, shedding a layer of glove-like skin.

He had prepared to shed his skin when coming into contact with the virus.
