## Way of Eternal Life

### Way of Non-life and Non-death

*Main article: Way of Non-life and Non-death*
Song Shuhang's first realized Way of Eternal Life and later the first offering sacrificed to obtain the Holy Man's Existence Devouring talent. By removing himself from life while not actually being dead, entering a state of being between the two, Song Shuhang was able to free himself from the restraints of both life and death, thus able to achieve eternal life. While using this Way of Eternal Life, Song Shuhang would continuously move towards death before finally dying within the end of each cycle. With each death all kinds of negative aspects would be removed and before Song Shuhang would resurrect stronger than before, once again within a status between life and death and another cycle would begin.

This Way of Eternal Life is the opposite of the Way of Nurturing New Life wielded by Cheng Lin, which would strengthen Cheng Lin at the beginning of each new ‘life’, while Song Shuhang would improve himself with each ‘death’. The Way of Non-life and Non-death was only used once on Chinese New Year 2020 to restore the Heavenly Demons to normal before the Way of Eternal Life was later offering sacrificed to the «*Ru Canon*».

A core fragment of the Way of Non-life and Non-death was created with Song Shuhang's Colored Glazed Eye before the Way of Eternal Life was sacrificed to cement future usage by Tyrant Song. The fragment is protected by Tyrant Benevolent of Song Shuhang's severed three corpses in the Small Black Room before Tyrant Song became the Ninth Heavenly Way.

### Way of the Word Language Origin

The second Way comprehended by Song Shuhang by himself, its embryonic form erupting to full birth after the sacrifice of the Way of Non-life and Non-death while glimpsing contacting Daozi's Way of Eternal Life. Uses the primordial principle of origin of language and the various secrets of the Ways of Eternal Life attained from various Eternal Life Beings that Song Fatball collected with Song Shuhang's experiences the great Eternal Life Being Discussion Group. Because this Way was constructed with one of the main principles of the Way of the Cultivation Chat, it would later end up becoming a part of its main frame. The Way was later offering sacrificed for Senior White to obtain the Holy Man's Existence Devouring talent.

Drawing strength from all kinds of writing and language throughout the world, the lifespan of the user is increased with every usage of writing or language by a life form within All Heavens and Myriad Realms, thus eternal life is achieved. Moreover the user is able to slowly resurrect himself as long as the character **Tyrant** [霸] is used in some form. This works by using the character as anchor from which the user can slowly pull himself out from the river of time, returning to the world once more. Although this process requires accumulation for several thousand years, it allows one to resurrect even from having both his body and soul destroyed, a characteristic that faintly touches the Imperishable principle.

A core fragment of the Way of Word Language Origin was created with Song Shuhang's Colored Glazed Eye before the Way of Eternal Life was sacrificed to cement future usage by Tyrant Song. The fragment is protected by Tyrant Evil of Song Shuhang's severed three corpses in the Small Black Room before Tyrant Song became the Ninth Heavenly Way.

### Way of Karmic Virtue and Karma

The third Way of Eternal Life comprehended by Song Shuhang and an inspired weaker version of the Way of the Heavenly Court (to not limit members, but have more freedom). This Way was completed with the comprehensive help of Senior White, who shared his insight on this way through the part of his existence that was swallowed by Song Shuhang. Once Song Shuhang fused with said part he unified his own insight with the deduction of Senior White, finally completing this Way. The Way was further improved by the secret help of Sixth Heavenly Way Daoist Karmic Virtue and his Karmic Virtue Seed.

This Way draws from the principles of Karmic Virtue and Karmic threads that Song Shuhang contacted early that year of entering the cultivation world. A core fragment of the Way of Karmic Virtue and Karma was created with Song Shuhang's Colored Glazed Eye before the Way of Eternal Life was sacrificed to cement future usage by Tyrant Song and to awaken the Way of the Cultivation Chat. The fragment is protected by Tyrant Self of Song Shuhang's severed three corpses in the Small Black Room before Tyrant Song became the Ninth Heavenly Way.

### Way of the Cultivation Chat

Song Shuhang's final and most hidden, complex Way of Eternal Life, representing Song Shuhang's true throughts towards entering the cultivation world. A Heavenly Way equivalent Great Way that uses Song Shuhang's full potential and experiences to attain eternal life. The Way takes inspiration from the Heavenly Court (limitless, encompassing), Heavenly Way Legacies (Eye Looking Planet etc.) and other networks (Karma, Time, Karmic Virtue, Space, Language etc). Due to its high level it was impossible to Ninth Stage Song Shuhang to normally comprehend and was suspected to require knowledge and comprehension of the Heavenly Way to be fully comprehended. The Way first appeared with Song Shuhang's **[Cultivation]** basic form. The **Way of the Word Language Origin** is this Way's main frame, the **Way of Karmic Virtue and Karma** is its main network, the Manager is Lady Fat Ball, Tyrant Song is its system origin and the **Way of Non-life and Non-death** is its virtuality.

For its completion the **Cultivation Chat Core** Song Shuhang required his body, golden cores and his energy to completely attain the lesser Imperishable attribute, massive amounts of data of species and cultivation systems and numerous core principles of Ways of other Eternal Life Beings. Moreover the observation of the river of time and alternative timelines and finally a Heavenly Way processor plug-in created by the 8.5 Heavenly Way Daozi were also needed.

Upon 100% completion, Tyrant Song's Eternal Life Moon Halo changed it’s light intensity from akin to the moon to the level of the sun, indicating that the Way of the Cultivation Chat had already surpassed the rank of Eternal Life Beings. As long as Cultivation exists, Song Shuhang possesses eternal life. He can also contact with anyone within All Heavens and Myriad Realms, even in the Heavenly Way Core area.

Song Shuhang becomes a spiritual pseudo Heavenly Way through the effects of this Way, complementing his physical pseudo Heavenly Way body. Through the Way of the Cultivation Chat, Song Shuhang could fight equally with one Heavenly Way.

### Way of the Tyrant [霸]

*Main article: Way of the Tyrant*
Although normally the extremely rare unique character Way will be condensed during the Ninth Stage, Song Shuhang has been shown to have already condensed the Way of the Tyrant as early as during the Foundation Building, despite not fully formed yet. This Way of Eternal Life depicts a common sense breaking and danger attracting path like a Tyrant, destroying all formalities and cementing the Tyrant's view on reality. The Tyrant's main weapon and talent is the sabre.

The Way of the Tyrant was most notable in Song Shuhang's cultivation speed, abnormal «*Raising Sabre Art*» results and himself obtaining Seals beyond the norm.

With Song Shuhang's final Seal **Tyrant Plum**, Song Shuhang's Way of the Tyrant's unique character [霸] was cemented into All Heavens and Myriad Realms through the **Way of the Language and Writing Origin**. However, the Way of the Tyrant was truly revealed with his **100%** **Way of the Cultivation Chat**, breaking the common sense of a non-Heavenly Way possessing the status of a Heavenly Way.

## Speculated Ways of Eternal Life

### Way of Nurturing New Life

*Main article: Way of Nurturing New Life*

“*From now on, you are Cheng Lin*„
— **Cheng Lin to Song Shuhang**

The original owner of this Way is the Empress of the Jade Lake, Cheng Lin. She has given the Way to Song Shuhang together with the Dao name. However, there is a possibility this Way will be passed over to Ye Si instead. It is also possible to be connected to the Way through Song Shuhang's numerous karmic ties with the Second Heavenly Way, Cheng Lin and Lotus Core World.

### Way of Time

*Main article: Way of Time*
Heavenly Emperor has expressed that while many people attempted to prove the Way of Time, nobody could truly accomplish it; at most, people tend to brush with the concept of time and exert a limit control over its direction or speed. The greatest hint about Song Shuhang proving the Way of Time is due to former Heavenly Way White rewinding time magic just before the sixth promotes seventh tribulation. Additionally, Song Shuhang has studied the Skylark’s Bone of Imperishable, discovering that it was rewinding time in order to restore the owner’s body. He has already obtained a false imperishable mode that relies on the abstruse principle of time, even if he does not realize this yet, it has been pointed out by White Two.

### Way of Space

Despite Ninth Stage Tribulation Immortal’s innate ability of the space shuttle, this particular way of space can be categorized as space dimension creation. Although his core lotus world is born from the seed created by the Third Heavenly Way, the continuous promotion and innate abilities associated with it go against the heaven’s will. Although Song Shuhang presently does not have profound knowledge of the methods of space operation, he has already contacted the abstruse principle of space that is used to prove ones Way.

### Way of Heavenly Court

*Main article: Way of the Heavenly Court*
Song Shuhang came across Holy Man’s grand resurrection array. Unfortunately, the Eight Ruler of the Nine Serenities had used his authority as the Heavenly Way to remove the root of Holy Man’s existence, rendering the array unable to resurrect the Holy Man. The Heavenly Emperor’s Emperor Pearl was sealed inside one of the decorative beasts in the black lake in the grand resurrection array and by using Embryo Gaze Song Shuhang on the beast produced a Fruit of the Way(or simply Way Fruit) which contained Heavenly Emperor’s Way. Song Shuhang then digested the way and closed up, and later integrated the way with the help of the Dragon Net Will "Please call me Fat Ball" Kunna. Later, Song Shuhang had a video chat with the Heavenly Emperor, where she explains to him that by ingesting her way, he will be officially taking part in the Way of Heavenly Court as her complement to which Song Shuhang responded that he was fully aware and willing to tread the way. It is later revealed that with the help of White Two and Lady Fat Ball, Song Shuhang will be able to process the Heavenly Court components without the backlash and control of Heavenly Way Fat Ball, thus thwarting the Eight Heavenly Way’s plans to use the Heavenly Court as a means to perfect his Heavenly Way position.

The Way of Heavenly Court aspects established Song Shuhang's Cultivation Chat's limitless and encompassing aspects.

## Transcending Heavenly Way

Bearer of the Heavenly Way is the cultivation world’s highest level of accomplishment, the final step any cultivator can trod. However, throughout the novel it is hinted that the reason past Heavenly Ways have abdicated is because they have realized a realm above the Heavenly Way that requires one to first become the bearer and then successfully unshackle. Presently, only Heavenly Way White has been 50% successful in this task. It it likely that through freeloading the Heavenly Way’s status Song Shuhang too will obtain a glimpse of "God’s eyes staring into the future" and other *bi bi bi* classified material that Song Shuhang cannot presently process without suffering from the Heavenly Punishment or being sent into the Black Room.
