Chapter 1696 One With the Swaber

“It’s less than 30 days. After all, you’ve been closed up for a few days already,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword reminded him.

Song Shuhang responded, “That’s why I said it’s a pity.”

After saying that, he slid his hand over Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, and used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ on it. “I’ll have to trouble Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword to accompany me to meet that little guy Scarlet Pupil tomorrow.”

When Song Shuhang said this, Scarlet Heaven Sword was filled with satisfaction. “Sure, no problem!”

The color of the ‘karmic thread’ between it and Song Shuhang had deepened once more—if this continued, as long as Song Shuhang had enough time, would the color of the karmic thread between him and Scarlet Heaven Sword turn into ‘l.u.s.trous gold’?

That would be great!

But… He should just forget about it. After all, Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven, Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword’s first owner, was still alive.

Ptui, I’ve been influenced by Fairy @#%×. Daoist Priest Scarlet Heaven isn’t its first owner, it’s its only owner!

Song Shuhang returned to where he had been meditating, and sat down cross-legged.

Fairy Creation hugged a batch of lotus flowers, and obediently returned to Song Shuhang’s side—as long as she was provided with enough lotus flowers, she was more than happy to act as a [human enlightenment stone] for Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang’s eyes narrowed slightly as he reached out to waved his hand in the air.

At this moment, the ‘karmic threads’ before his eyes slowly began disappearing. The first to disappear were the white karmic threads, followed by the karmic threads of other colors.

Song Shuhang’s eyes searched among the many karmic threads.

In addition to the white, blue, gold, black, blood-red, and seven-colored karmic threads, there should theoretically be another color of karmic threads.

The pink karmic threads.

They represented those with whom he shared a feeling that was beyond friends.h.i.+p.

Song Shuhang felt that he should have this kind of karmic threads. After all, he was a very normal man.

In the air, after the countless white karmic threads that covered his sight disappeared, only the lines of various colors remained.

Song Shuhang searched for a long time, but couldn’t find any of the pink karmic threads he was looking for.

Is… Is there really none? Song Shuhang became nervous.

Your eyes might deceive you and let you see hallucinations; your ears might also deceive you and let you mishear.

However, karmic threads would never deceive you. They pointed at the very truth of matters.

How could a normal man not have even a single pink karmic thread?

Unless I’m not a normal man?

Ptui, impossible.

When I see a beautiful girl, I appreciate her very much, and the thoughts in my mind are no different from those of normal men!

“What’s wrong with you?” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword looked at Song Shuhang. “You aren’t remotely provoking some peerless expert, are you?”

Don’t tell me that you’ve become addicted to provoking big shots!

Song Shuhang said, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, do you think I am slightly abnormal?”

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword stared at Song Shuhang, and said, “Yes, you are very abnormal. Speak, which big shot did you provoke this time? If the boss is only launching a long-range attack, then Fellow Daoist White and I might be able to block it.”

Song Shuhang said, “No, that’s not what I’m talking about. I found that I don’t have any pink karmic threads when even Lady Onion has one.”

“…” Scarlet Heaven Sword.

“…” Senior White’s clone.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “What do you think the pink karmic thread is meant for?”

Song Shuhang replied, “Lovers?”

“No, it’s for dual cultivators. I’ve heard about this type of karmic thread from Scarlet Heaven in the past,” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said. “It’s not the ones that are just nominal, but for those that dao companions who have already dual-cultivated. So, do you have this kind of dao companion?”

“…” Song Shuhang.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword cheerfully said, “You don’t have to answer that. I can already tell the answer just from the look on your face.”

Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.

“However, Shuhang has indeed reached that age when you start to want children.” Senior White turned over, and lazily said, “In the past, 18-year-old men would have already married and have several children, right? Shuhang, you should plan how many children you want already.”

“Senior White, the times have changed. Nowadays, it isn’t even legal for those who are 18 to marry anymore.” Song Shuhang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

It was alright to fall in love, but having children was a bit much.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword reminded, “Mm-hm, but we cultivators are different from ordinary people. Anyway, if you do plan on having children in the future, then you’d better prepare yourself early.”

“?” Song Shuhang.

Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “As your cultivation level gets higher and higher, the chances of having a child decrease. The stronger the person is, the harder it is for them to have offspring. And at the speed at which you’ve been ascending realms… If you don’t prepare early, there might be no hope of having a ‘little Shuhang’ in the future.”

Song Shuhang retorted, “Senior Spirit b.u.t.terfly has cultivated to the Seventh Stage, didn’t he still get to father Soft Feather? Also, Senior Tyrant Flood Dragon is still preparing to give birth to a football team.”

“Hahaha.” Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword laughed without saying a word.

Can’t you see your own cultivation speed?

You’re averaging one month per realm.

You’re indeed taking a bit longer to ascend to the Sixth Stage from the Fifth Stage this time, but it still isn’t that much longer.

If you continue to ascend like this, you’ll soon be the Wielder of the Heaven’s Will.

After you become the Wielder of the Will, don’t even think about having a child.

Wielders of the Will are eternal.

Although, theoretically speaking, Wielders of the Heaven’s Will should still be able to dual-cultivate, it’s absolutely impossible for them to produce a little Wielder of the Will.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword suddenly said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. Stop wasting time. Enter your seclusion mode, then cooperate with me to enter the ‘One With the Sword’ state.”

“???” Song Shuhang.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Since you’ve just made contact with karmic threads, we should strike the iron while it’s hot, and try learning the ‘karmic saber technique’.”

Song Shuhang asked, “The karmic saber technique? Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, you’ve already converted it?”

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “I’ve made a prototype which you can try out. I will discuss the finer details with Fellow Daoist White later.”

Song Shuhang nodded, placed Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword on his knees, and then used the ❮Saber-Nurturing Technique❯ to establish a connection.

Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Very good, that’s it. Come on, I’ll cooperate with you, One With the Sword!”

At the same time, Song Shuhang softly said, “Alright, One With the Saber!”

“…” Scarlet Heaven Sword.

Saber your sister!

After that, Song Shuhang and Scarlet Heaven Sword smoothly entered the ‘One With the Swaber’ state.

The consciousnesses of Song Shuhang and Scarlet Heaven Sword linked up, creating a shared consciousness s.p.a.ce.

Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Very well. Hold me, and then use One With the Sab— bah, use One With the Sword State to feel out and comprehend the karmic saber technique. Eh? What’s this thing on your back?”

Scarlet Heaven Sword suddenly found that Song Shuhang was carrying a half-broken spear on his back.

Heavens, isn’t that the ‘karmic spear’?
