Chapter 2167: Fellow Daoist Hezhi, are you surprised?
To be honest, the current generation of practitioners both loved and dreaded the Profound Sage Speech.
The reason for loving it was self-explanatory. After all, Profound Sage Speeches were free, and those who listened to them could receive countless benefits. This was especially so when the topic of the Profound Sage Speech matched one's field. When this was the case, it was very likely that the practitioner would even experience a breakthrough just from listening to the speech.
As for the reason why they felt dread toward the Profound Sage Speech, it was because of a specific Profound Sage, who the public did not even dare to mention. This man had deeply traumatized the whole universe, both physically and mentally.
In the past few months, whenever a practitioner heard the words "Profound Sage Speech" mentioned around them, they would feel a throbbing pain in their abdomen.
Fortunately, before the Profound Sage Speech, there was an important phase where the new Profound Sage's appearance would be shown.
During this stage, the new Sage was forced to show their true face.
One could only admire and praise the existence that came up with the idea of the Profound Sage Speech in the first place. Whoever it was, they had great foresight!
This feature was very useful as of late.
With practitioners all over the universe having become familiar with the Divinity Show, as long as the cultivator holding the Profound Sage Speech was Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, whether it was his child version, teen version, young version, middle-aged version, or elderly version, they planned to immediately turn off the broadcast and go into seclusion.
Once the Profound Sage Speech was over, practitioners had the option to watch the rebroadcast when they wished.
As for the content, they could rely on the group of strong-willed and brave warriors who dared to watch Tyrannical Song's Profound Sage Speech live. Once they heard from them about the speech, they could decide whether to watch it or not.
This time, it was Demon Emperor Hezhi who was showing his divinity and not Tyrannical Song.
Practitioners all over the universe felt they could enjoy the Profound Sage Speech in peace.

With all eyes on him, Song Shuhang expressionlessly moved toward the stage where he would hold the Profound Sage Speech.
As soon as he got into position, he felt as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at him.
From now on, everybody under the heavens would know of him.
If it was one's first time delivering a Profound Sage Speech, being stared at by countless eyes would likely cause the speaker to feel uncomfortable for a moment.
However, Song Shuhang had already adapted to this feeling.
Now then, what should I say? Song Shuhang touched his face, confirming that the mask was still there.
First... I should make an opening statement!
"Fellow Daoists, Fairies, and Seniors from all over the universe, I am Hezhi, and my Sage Name is Tyrannical... Demon. After thousands of deaths, I have finally stepped into the Profound Sage Realm. I am here today to deliver a speech to you all, and I hope that you'll enjoy it." Song Shuhang cupped his fists and simply introduced himself to the fellow daoists that were watching him from all over the universe.
This simple introduction made the blood of all the demonic cultivators in the universe boil!
[It's Emperor Hezhi! It's really him!]
[Is this really a Profound Sage Speech sealed from the ancient era? I did not think that I would get to listen to the Profound Sage Speech of Emperor Hezhi in my lifetime!]
[Long Live Demon Emperor Hezhi!]
[What was the content of Emperor Hezhi's speech back then? Has it been handed down?]
[The Great Emperor's speech traversed time and space and manifested today! Our demonic sect will be prosperous!]
The disciples of ancient demonic sects who had Demon Emperor Hezhi recorded in their textbooks were now brimming with excitement as they stared at the screen above them.
As for the practitioners from other cultivation systems who did not recognize Emperor Hezhi, they were also waiting patiently, looking forward to his speech.
There was only a small group of people who had sensed that something was off and kept silent.
For example, in a certain forbidden area in the Infernal Realm...
The face of the real Demon Emperor Hezhi was getting darker and darker. "Tyrannical Demon Hezhi? Hehehe..."
You bastard, you better not let me catch you.
With Demon Emperor Hezhi's strength, he could sense the twisting of space and time. This speech seemed to have been delivered in the ancient era, getting unsealed only today.
Who exactly is this guy that pretended to be me in the ancient era?
❄️❄️❄️
On the platform of the Profound Sage Speech.
After Song Shuhang briefly introduced himself, he patted the armor on his body lightly.
His eyes lowered slightly, and he wondered what he should say.
At first, he was thinking that since he was wearing Demon Emperor Hezhi's face, he could just talk about whatever came to his mind.
Anyway, it was not he who would bear the embarrassment.
But when he stepped onto the platform, his mind began operating on its own.
The memories of his physical body told him that after the Profound Sage Speech ended, as long as the speech was good, the benefits would be endless.
For a normal cultivator, the Profound Sage Speech was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and anybody could tell how valuable it was.
Therefore, one should never waste the opportunity that was the Profound Sage Speech.
Song Shuhang's cautious yet bold character came in handy at this critical moment, and a certain plan formed in his mind.
Having no other choice, he decided to go with it!
Although I have no idea what I said in my previous speeches, allow me, Tyrannical Son— Demon, to deliver a different kind of speech today.
Shuhang sat cross-legged and got ready to deliver the speech. He looked truly awe-inspiring with Emperor Hezhi's face.
Practitioners from all over the universe perked up their ears, preparing to listen to the speech.
Song Shuhang said seriously, "Today, I shall tell you all about the 'Five-Year Simulation of Three-Year College Entrance Examination.'"
What he wanted to do was going to take some extra time, so he borrowed Demon Emperor Hezhi's face and tried to stall for time.
"Pff~ " Sixteen, who was behind him, could not stop herself from bursting out in laughter.
Sister Scarf's jaw nearly dropped to the ground as she heard what Song Shuhang said.
Has this guy gone mad?
He dares to joke around at a time like this? Isn't he afraid that he won't be able to gather enough power of virtue from the practitioners of the universe and suffer the backlash of the inner demon tribulation?
Right after, Sister Scarf recalled something. Tyrannical Song had that lifelike virtuous lamia with him. With such an impressive materialization of the power of virtue, there was no Profound Sage that could hold a candle to him!
With such a strong power of virtue, it seems that this guy does have the capital to mess around during the Profound Sage Speech...
If you had enough virtue, you could do whatever you want.
Meanwhile, practitioners from all over the universe wore looks of confusion on their faces..
Everyone wondered if they were suffering from some kind of auditory hallucination.
[Five-Year Simulation of the Three-Year College Entrance Examination?]
[What's that?]
❄️❄️❄️
In the Infernal Realm.
Demon Emperor Hezhi's face was so black that it could almost absorb all the surrounding light.
He could sense strong malice coming from this fake Hezhi.
❄️❄️❄️
In the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Frice Reckless Mad Saber said, "If this guy isn't little friend Shuhang, I'm going to screw my head off and kick it away like a ball!"
Medicine Master said with a stifled heart, "[Voice Message] This is all Thrice Reckless' fault."
Medicine Master could still remember how pure little friend Shuhang was when they first met.
How could such a pure child have become so deranged? This must all be Thrice Reckless' fault!
