Chapter 67: Showing divinity in front of the masses
One sunny afternoon in the realm of cultivators, a peculiar phenomenon unfolded. Zenith Heaven Emperor, suddenly raised his head, his eyes fixated on a particular spot in the vast expanse of the air.
However, it wasn't just Zenith Heaven Emperor who was captivated by this mysterious occurrence. It seemed that an invisible force had beckoned all cultivators, regardless of their system or cultivation level, to raise their heads in unison and gaze towards the void.
Within the secluded chambers of his palace, Zenith Heaven Emperor couldn't help but chuckle. "Ah, it seems like it's time for my disciples' sermon," he mused, an amused twinkle in his eyes.
After what felt like an eternity but amounted to merely a few tens of breaths, a mystical frame materialized before the awestruck eyes of the cultivators. They craned their necks and squinted their eyes, attempting to decipher the ethereal tableau that had materialized in the vast expanse of the sky.

At this moment, all the practitioners in the universe were lively once again.
"There's another Venerable that ascended to Profound Sage Realm and is going to show his divinity? Heavens, what's up with these Venerables? Did they make an appointment to all ascended together?"
---
At this moment, all the practitioners across the universe would be able to see a picture as long as they raised their heads.
The first thing to come into their view was an empress wearing a golden imperial robe.
The golden flat imperial hat swayed slightly, the fringe of pearls hanging from it also shook slightly, covering the empress' eyes, and making it so that people couldn't see her appearance clearly. The magnificent imperial robe emphasized the boundless dignity of the empress.
Seeing this Zenith Heaven Emperor thought to himself. 'Interesting, so my theory was right, that truly is just a strange light of Karmic Virtue, that happens to look like Fairy Promise and Waiting.'
After all one of the reasons why he wanted to revive the fellow daoists from the Heavenly Court before and not a little bit later was because he wanted to know if his disciple still can have that light of Karmic Virtue.
Just as cultivators all over the world were waiting for the Sage Seal of the empress to appear, the angle of the picture in the void changed.
The frame shifted downward, until it reached and focused on the left sleeve of the empress' imperial robe.
There, a bright bald head appeared in the frame. The bald head was exceedingly shiny, reflecting the golden light and blinding everyone's eyes!
Was it possible that the 'empress' wasn't the Profound Sage? With the real Profound Sage being that baldy with a big shiny head?
"Merciful Buddha!" At this moment, buddhist cultivators joined their palms together, chanting the name of Buddha.
Just as the bald head appeared, 'characters' also started condensing in midair.
"Once the Sage Seal appears, the face of the senior monk will be revealed. To be able to condense such an incredible golden light of virtue, truly admirable!"
The Sage Seal transformed into a series of brilliant characters, but it kept changing.
The Sage Seal was constantly changing. Vaguely, the cultivators of the entire universe were able to see the words 'Tyrant, Song, Armor, Book, Whale, Saber, Path, Virtuous'.
After about ten breaths, in the void, the Sage Seal of the first Sage in a thousand years finally condensed.
'Tyrant Song'
The two-word Sage Seal remained suspended in the void, and all the cultivators in the world were influenced by it. Everyone would firmly remember the name 'Tyrant Song' during the next year.
At this moment, a cultivator shouted, "Eh? Wait, there is another change!"
Changes seemed to be taking place in the frame of the 'divinity show'. The frame shifted from Song Shuhang's body, moving towards his back.
Indistinctly, people were able to see another figure.
No! It wasn't one, but four figures!
Boom~ Practitioners from all over the world all burst into excitement. But compared to the shock Zenith Heaven Emperor felt at that moment this is nothing.
'How did Soft Feather end up being there!' He thought to himself, not able to keep his calm. 'Wasn't she with her father? Did she run away?'
The frame then gradually zoomed in.
Afterward…
Practitioners all over the world turned silent.
This was mainly due to the posture of the fourth, fifth, and sixth Sages in a thousand years.
The frame orderly shifted from one to the other.
The third Sage in a thousand years, just looked too familiar to them, undoubtably they immediately recognized her as the first Sage in a thousand years. There was one question in the mind of all practitioners. 'How can she appear there again, she already ascended over a month ago? '
Then her sage seal began to condense.
The third Sage in a thousand years — [Excitement Seeker].
At that time many began to suspect that she is an Eternal Life Being that is perfecting her Way of Eternal Life.
Then the frame began to shift to the next one.
The fourth Sage in a thousand years, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, was wearing a tattered black windbreaker with scars evident on his body. At this moment, he was curled up into a ball, holding his head while squatting down. His body was shaking slightly, it seemed as if he was trembling…
Next up was the fifth Sage in a thousand years, the seriously injured Eternity. Eternity was rather handsome, and normally speaking, he would be a fitting 'partner' in the eyes of most female cultivators. But at this moment, just like Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, he was holding his head while squatting down, a truly cowardly posture.
Finally was the sixth Sage in a thousand years, the Frenzied Strength Imparter, Daoist Priest Horizon. He was in an even more cowardly posture, with him in an 'orz' posture, kneeling on the ground.
After they had shown their divinity in front of the masses', the Sage Seals of the trio began condensing.
Due to the three of them being unconscious, which made them unable to choose their Sage Seal, the principles of heaven and earth directly used their daoist names to create the Sage Seals.
The fourth Sage in a thousand years — [Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman].
The fifth Sage in a thousand years — [Eternity].
The sixth Sage in a thousand years — [Horizon].
"The Frenzied Strength Imparter, Horizon! Did he actually become a Profound Sage?" Many people recognized the Frenzied Strength Imparter 'Horizon', and they all seemed unable to believe what they were seeing.
After the frame of the 'divinity show' swept the three people, it then zoomed out, showing everyone.
[Dignified Empress] floated high.
On the left side was a coward holding his head and squatting down, [Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman].
In the middle were [Tyrant Song] and [Excitement Seeker], standing straight.
On the right side was another coward holding his head and squatting down, [Eternity].
At the back, still in an 'orz' posture, [Horizon].

POV: Song Shuhang
With the whole world watching, Song Shuhang stood straight.
He began to break through to the Inborn realm!
At this time, Song Shuhang was somewhat excited. He had finally practiced to the realm where he could ride a flying sword! Once he had familiarized himself with the saber-riding process, his acrophobia would definitely turn for the better!
After completing the break through, Song Shuhang opened his eyes.
Now, how to leave the Heavenly Tribulation Realm?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, a piece of information was transmitted to his mind.
After an Eighth Stage Profound Sage had shown their divinity in front of the masses and condensed a Sage Seal, no person in the world wouldn't know their name.
But after showing their divinity in front of the masses, there was still another thing the Eighth Stage Profound Sage had to do…
They had to give the 'Profound Sage Sermon'. After advancing to the Profound Sage Realm, they had to hold a speech in front of the myriad practitioners in the universe.
Seeing that the time for his 'Profound Sage Sermon' was approaching, cold sweat covered Song Shuhang.
What do I say? What can I talk about?
Who can give me a draft?!
