A Gray Robe Transformed into a White Dress, Three Thousand Strands of Worldly Troubles Cut Away Once More

"How dare he get married because he's pregnant! I'll beat this kid to a pulp after the wedding!" Song Shuhang thought to himself.

After sighing, he and his wife entered the church together, ready to accompany their son on his wedding day.

But the instant he took the first step, he seemed to teleport, shifting his position and appearing beside the 'bride'.

What happened again? How did I suddenly end up next to the bride, taking the place of her father?

Song Shuhang looked to the side in confusion, and then saw a giant version of his daughter, Xiao Miao, being supported by his arm as they walked down the red carpet with smiles on their faces.

The church doors opened, and a handsome man walked towards them, gazing tenderly at his daughter, Xiao Miao.

Holy crap!

In that sudden moment, the situation changed from 'my son is getting married' to 'I'm marrying off my daughter'.

Damn it! Which pig dared to sleep with my adorable daughter, Xiao Miao! Young man, come here right now, I promise I won't kill you!

That night, Song Shuhang and his wife Miss Jiudeng, hid under the covers and cried their hearts out.

However, Song Shuhang was puzzled as to why he was curled up in bed and crying silently.

When did I develop such deep feelings for this strange world? Perhaps it was just a few fleeting moments?

But tears kept falling uncontrollably, as if he had truly spent more than twenty years with his son and daughter.

This feeling is truly subtle.

***************************

Buzz...

Song Shuhang suddenly felt a heaviness in his head and a chill ran down his spine.

He opened his eyes and found himself still squatting in the corner of the temple, holding a scripture in his hands, the text covered in water stains... Were those his tears?

What's going on?

Song Shuhang quickly and secretly wiped away his tears. It was so embarrassing; a grown man squatting in the corner, silently shedding tears.

Was that just a dream? Such a vivid yet eerie dream? And why would I dream of marrying Miss Jiudeng?

This doesn't make sense! Whether it's Soft Feather, Sixteen, or even Lu Fei, they're all more suitable to be his dream bride than Miss Jiudeng, right?

Could it be that Causal Line thread connecting Onion Lady is causing the trouble?

Song Shuhang glanced furtively at the table, only to find that Miss Jiudeng had already left her spot and disappeared without a trace.

"Did it leave while I was sleeping and dreaming?" Song Shuhang closed the scripture, plopped down on the ground, and leaned against the wall to rest.

I feel so tired all over, and my whole body aches and aches.

After resting for quite some time, Song Shuhang looked puzzled as to Miss Jiudeng had not yet appeared.

After thinking for a moment, he went to the back of the temple to look for the Miss Jiudeng.

In a small room at the back of the temple.

The Miss Jiudeng reached out and gently brushed her hair off her head... Her long, black, glossy hair, reaching down to her calves, fell to the ground, scattering everywhere.

The three thousand strands of hair, tinged with worries, were severed once again.

Soon, she reverted to being the bald, Jiudeng nun.

Her long hair fell away, and she clasped her hands together, saying, "All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, shadows, dew, and lightning..."

As she recited the mantra, a crimson hand appeared out of thin air before her.

In the center of this crimson palm is a delicate crystal ball.

On the crystal ball, there were faint signs of the River of Time... It seemed that time and space were all in the grasp of this crimson hand!

Inside this crystal ball, one scene after another was played repeatedly—everything that Song Shuhang experienced in his dream.

Marriage, having children, growing old together, children getting married...

Could all of this be an illusion?

No, it's not an illusion.

The fact that the Miss Jiudeng has long hair that reaches her calves suggests that what happened was not as simple as an 'illusion'.

The inexplicable soreness in Song Shuhang's body also confirms this.

So, is it real? Yet it doesn't seem real, at least not because the son Song Ren and daughter Song Miao who appeared in the dream actually exist.

What exactly does this experience mean?

Is it true or false?

It is certain that this experience is not the same as the 'Illusory Reality' that may appear around Seventh-Grade Venerable; they are two completely opposite existences.

This experience could perhaps be described as 'Real Illusion'?

In short, even Jiudeng, who had personally experienced it, couldn't explain it clearly because her level of understanding hadn't reached that point.

"Your wish from that year has been fulfilled. Can you see through it all?" A heavy male voice rang in Jiudeng's ears.

Jiudeng lowered her eyes slightly, her expression serene. "My wish has been fulfilled, but some people, things, and events, far from being understood, seem even more elusive and confusing."

A deep male voice chuckled, "Strange answer, Jiudeng. Do you know what I want to ask you about 'seeing through'?"

Jiudeng chuckled and replied, "I don't know. All I need to know is—what I've seen through!"

After saying this, Jiudeng's gray monk's robes suddenly changed.

The gray monk's robes unfurled, transforming into a pure white long dress.

Her straw sandals burst into flames and turned to ashes.

The Miss Jiudeng stood barefoot in the void, with a Golden Lotus appearing on each of her crystal-clear white jade feet, supporting her soles so that they did not touch the earth.

From then on... not a speck of dust would remain beneath her feet!

Her aura reached its peak; she could create a Spirit Lake centered on her Golden Core at any time.

As long as you survive the Heavenly Tribulation, you can advance to the Sixth-Grade True Lord!

However, Jiudeng was not in a hurry to get promoted.

She first gently stroked her hair, and flames erupted from the long strands that covered the ground, instantly turning them to ashes.

At the same time, the crimson hand in front of her disappeared.

After doing all this, the Miss Jiudeng turned around with a smile.

Just as she turned around, Song Shuhang appeared at the door of the small room.

"Finally found you, Miss Jiudeng. Huh?" Song Shuhang stared at Jiudeng in front of him and blinked hard.

Before him stood a ＠＃％×Fairy in a white dress, her bare feet resting on two golden lotus flowers. Her figure was extremely Tyrant, and against the backdrop of the Golden Lotus and white dress, she possessed an air of holiness.

Unfortunately... this ＠＃％×Fairy is bald.

The Miss Jiudeng in the white dress... Song Shuhang unconsciously mixed her up with the Jiudeng in the pure white wedding dress in his dream.

I have this persistent feeling that I'm still dreaming.

"Isn't it pretty?" Jiudeng looked at Song Shuhang, squinted her eyes, and laughed heartily.

Song Shuhang gave a thumbs up. "She looks absolutely stunning. Wearing this white dress, she's like a completely different person. She's dazzling!"

"Hahahaha." Jiudeng laughed loudly, "The phrase 'blindingly bright' is an excellent description, I love it!"

This time, Song Shuhang wasn't speechless. Unconsciously, he had actually gotten somewhat used to Miss Jiudeng's eccentricities.

"It's getting late, and you've been on Heavenly Island for quite some time now," said the Miss Jiudeng. "Originally, I wanted you to stay on Heavenly Island a little longer so I could show you some hospitality. But unfortunately... my cultivation level is about to break through, so it's not appropriate for me to keep you here any longer."

"It's alright, Miss Jiudeng. You've already helped me so much, I'm eternally grateful! Since Miss Jiudeng is about to break through her cultivation realm, I won't bother you any longer. Please give me some directions, Miss Jiudeng, so I can prepare and leave this Heavenly Island." Song Shuhang didn't dare to be too polite with Miss Jiudeng.

What if he goes out of his way to be polite and Miss Jiudeng insists that he stay as a guest?

"No rush." Jiudeng smiled slightly and snapped his fingers, saying, "Before I send you away, I happen to have something I can offer you. Take out Onion Lady from your pocket. Three hundred years ago, she took a scroll of the <Buddhist Lion's Roar Skill> from me. Now I see that your Mouth Aperture are almost open, just one step away. This scroll of the <Buddhist Lion's Roar Skill> can give you a helping hand. Onion Lady, take out the 'Lion's Roar Technique'. While I'm teaching Song Shuhang, I can also give you some pointers."

Song Shuhang took out Onion Lady from his pocket.

Onion Lady trembled and pulled out a scroll of cultivation manual from somewhere.

Song Shuhang silently gazed at the scroll of martial arts manual. This was the <Buddhist Lion's Roar Skill>. Hmm... another Buddhist Sect martial art. He always felt that he possessed a slightly excessive number of the Buddhist Sect martial arts techniques.

But I'll risk it all to get that Mouth Aperture!

At worst, once I reach the 'Second-Grade' level, I'll reset my skill points and master Confucian School and Daoist School techniques!

*********************

In the Eastern Sea, a giant whale slowly swims on the surface.

"Is this the southwest direction? Song Shuhang is probably around here." Venerable White put away the divination array and pointed southwest. "Let's go, charge in that direction!"

The giant whale spouted a fountain, and as if it possessed a spirit, it turned and swam southwest.

"Even if we can't find the Mysterious Island in this direction, we should be able to find Song Shuhang, who came from the Mysterious Island," Venerable White muttered to himself.

He really wanted to find the Mysterious Island; he was incredibly curious about that place!

*********************

At this very moment, on a deserted island in the Eastern Sea.

A woman dressed in a black dress and black stockings moved swiftly across the deserted island. She was agile, leaping through the jungle like a kitten.

Behind her, a man as strong as a bull was hot on her heels. "Miss Chu Chu, this island is so small, where can you run to? You might as well surrender to us three brothers. We brothers are all men who know how to cherish women, and we will definitely spare your life."

To the left of the bull-like man was a man with extremely long arms and an ape-like physique. He moved through the jungle faster than the woman in the black dress and black stockings in front of him.

To the right was a man running Wolf One, using both hands and feet to sprint across the ground. His face was cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Ox Two, stop talking nonsense. Spread out and close in. Don't let this woman escape. Absolutely do not let her get back to the Chu Aristocratic Clan."

You take someone's money and do their bidding.

The three brothers had accepted money and were determined to intercept Chu Chu, the young genius from the Chu Family, and prevent her from returning to participate in the "Immortal Severing Platform."
