Love selfies, love life!

Strangely enough, when he completely lost control of his body, Song Shuhang actually felt a sense of 'freedom'. A feeling of breaking free from all constraints, of being free from any restrictions.

This eerie feeling sent chills down Song Shuhang's spine.

Before losing consciousness, he vaguely heard Senior Sister Ye crying, "Waaaaah..."

About ten minutes later.

Song Shuhang regained consciousness, but his consciousness remained in the dark space.

For Shuhang, those ten-odd minutes of unconsciousness felt like an eternity, an unspeakable torment.

However... this long ordeal, in the end, became a valuable experience for Song Shuhang.

His Dao Heart became even more solidified after experiencing this 'death'.

The mindset of someone who has died once is completely different from that of someone who has never died.

"Hasn't he recovered from his 'dead' state yet? Should we continue to wait for him to wake up naturally?" Song Shuhang wondered to himself.

Or, what method can be used to recover from this dark 'state of death'?

As soon as the thought arose, Song Shuhang recalled all the cultivation techniques and Daoist arts he had learned, as well as the books in Senior Sister Ye's collection that he had read during this period.

At the same time, the Enlightenment Stone in Song Shuhang's arms began to emit its power.

The Onion Lady on it sprouted a small new scallion tip. This tip, however, was stained with blood-red veins, making the emerald green scallion even more beautiful.

As the power of the Enlightenment Stone was activated, a scripture in Song Shuhang's mind was passively activated.

It was the "Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture" shared from the memories of the Spirit Ghost.

It's unclear which Buddhist School sect's secret scriptures it is, but it's definitely a treasure.

"Only after all sentient beings are liberated will I attain enlightenment; until hell is emptied, I vow not to become a Buddha." The introductory note written by the Foreign Monk on the scripture first came to Shuhang's mind.

Subsequently, the contents of the Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture slowly unfolded in Song Shuhang's consciousness, like a long scroll painting.

The power of the Enlightenment Stone continuously activated Song Shuhang's comprehension abilities. As the contents of the Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture Sutra unfolded little by little, flashes of inspiration ignited in Song Shuhang's mind.

He grasped the key to the 'Soul-Deliverance Art'.

"So that's how it is. This is the Soul-Deliverance Method." Song Shuhang suddenly understood.

Having experienced a state of 'death', he viewed the Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture from the perspective of the 'deceased' and subsequently comprehended the secrets of the Soul-Deliverance Method.

In this way, the first person I need to perform a ritual to help pass on to the afterlife has been decided.

--You're the one!

Song Shuhang silently recited the verses from the Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture.

As the chanting of scriptures grew louder, the materialized scroll of the <Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture> radiated a golden glow in Song Shuhang's Sea of Consciousness, illuminating the black space where Song Shuhang was located.

The black space transformed into a bright golden space. Song Shuhang opened his eyes and awoke from his coma.

"You're finally awake, Shuhang." Senior Sister Ye knelt beside him, her eyes slightly red, and carefully wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Shuhang, who was in a coma, seemed to have experienced something terrifying, and was constantly sweating.

"Hmm, finally awake. Although it was a very strange experience, it was also a very valuable one. Ye Si, how long did I sleep?" Song Shuhang asked with a smile.

"Thirteen minutes have passed. Are you alright now?" Senior Sister Ye asked worriedly.

"I'm completely fine now, I'm in great shape." Song Shuhang helped himself to his feet. "And I've made some good progress."

Now, if one uses the 'True Self Meditation Method' to observe one's own 'True Self', one can see that Song Shuhang's 'True Self' has undergone some changes.

My True Self is in a state roughly the same as Song Shuhang's at this moment.

What reassured Song Shuhang was that his 'True Self' hadn't donned a robe; it was still wearing those boxer shorts. True Self head hadn't gone bald either, and it still looked like a scholar, though its body remained that of a muscular man.

At this moment, a hint of pity appeared between True Self brows, and a scripture appeared in his hand.

That was the projection of the Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture on his 'True Self' —it was the first time Song Shuhang had come into contact with a scripture that directly affected his 'True Self' state.

It is very likely that the Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture and the True Self Meditation Scripture share the same origin! They were also produced by the Ancient Vajra Sect.

In short, after the scriptures appeared in his True Self, Song Shuhang's almost explosive mental energy was partially relieved by his 'True Self,' making him much more relaxed.

Next, if one can cultivate the 'Merit Light' to the level of the Foreign Monk, the qualitatively transformed Merit Light will also be able to 'share' the spiritual power.

At that time, Song Shuhang will no longer be afraid of headaches caused by excessive mental strength.

Senior Sister Ye asked curiously, "What did you gain? You've grasped the Soul-Deliverance Method?"

"Hmm." Song Shuhang nodded.

Then, he silently recited the "Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture," and gently tapped his finger in the air.

In the void, a black, vengeful spirit appeared, emitting a strange 'squeak' sound on Song Shuhang's fingers.

It's the 'Altar Master's' curse!

After realizing he had been utterly betrayed, the Altar Master used the rest of his life to cast a vicious curse upon Song Shuhang, a curse that would gnaw at his very bones.

This curse even includes a small portion of the remnant soul of the Altar Master.

Unfortunately, this curse fared terribly.

It appeared several times but failed to harm Song Shuhang. Instead, it became food for Song Shuhang's Spirit Ghost each time. On one occasion, it was activated by Venerable White and rolled into a small black ball to feed Shuhang's Spirit Ghost.

The Altar Master's curse, excluding the number of times it has already been cast, will likely have three to four more chances to take effect.

This curse, imbued with a trace of the Altar Master's vengeful spirit, had been silently accumulating energy, waiting to take revenge on Song Shuhang.

However... Song Shuhang's advancement speed was too fast. In just a few months, he advanced from an ordinary First-Grade Cultivator to the Second-Grade Realm.

The Altar Master's curse power could not find an opportunity to erupt, and could only silently hide and accumulate its power.

Therefore, it never had another chance to appear in the future. And as a result, it has been preserved to this day.

At this moment, Song Shuhang pointed at the black, resentful curse.

The fingers of Song Shuhang contain the power of salvation.

In the radiant light of the Ksitigarbha Soul-Deliverance Scripture, the remnant soul of the Altar Master transformed into golden particles of light and gradually dissipated...

At the same time, Song Shuhang could sense the resentment and anger emanating from the remnant soul of the Altar Master. This resentment and anger was gradually dissipating.

Senior Sister Ye rested her chin on her hand, blinking as she watched Song Shuhang perform the ritual to release the remnant soul of the Altar Master.

Her pupils were filled with images of the Altar Master's remnant soul transforming into particles of light.

Those tiny golden particles seemed to carry a sense of liberation, letting go of all resentment and hatred.

She couldn't help but sigh softly.

She herself didn't know why she sighed!

Then, she suddenly did something that neither Shuhang nor she herself expected.

She suddenly floated to Shuhang's side, then stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched Song Shuhang's fingers— Shuhang's fingers could touch the Resentful Ghost of the Altar Master, thus releasing its lingering soul.

The moment their fingers lightly touched, Song Shuhang and Senior Sister Ye felt an electric shock at the same time, and both of them trembled. The sensation of electricity between their fingers surged into every part of their bodies.

Whoosh! At this moment, the remnant soul of the Altar Master's curse finally dissipated completely.

Song Shuhang and Senior Sister Ye exchanged a glance.

"Hehehehe." Senior Sister Ye suddenly laughed happily. When their fingers touched, the electric feeling made her feel closer to Song Shuhang. This feeling was not unpleasant.

Song Shuhang laughed as well, gently rubbing his fingers together—the moment his fingers touched Senior Sister Ye's, he felt as if he and Senior Sister Ye were connected.

He could sense Senior Sister Ye's joy from her fingers; she was very happy.

Time passed, and according to the Time City's time, it was already the early hours of a new day.

Song Shuhang and Chu Chu have been in Time City for 48 days.

Outside, it was also the start of a new day.

August 5th, Monday, Shuhang Channel: Vajra Gentleman Saber.

China, the grotto of the Fairy Lychee.

Fairy Lychee received a gift today—a limited edition 'Shy Flower Palace New Female Cultivator Robe' ordered by the Copper Trigram Immortal Master on his sickbed from a cultivator's trading website. Moreover, it was a custom-made style.

It doesn't have any special features, it's just the kind of thing that looks really good when you wear it.

This is the apology gift from the Copper Trigram Immortal Master; it cost him almost half a month's income in one go.

Last month, the Copper Trigram Immortal Master was caught red-handed by the Fairy Lychee lying in wait outside the Medicine Master's house. After a beating with screams of "Eek! Eek!", the Copper Trigram Immortal Master promptly chose to apologize.

The Fairy Lychee opened the gift box; the robe inside was beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

These robes are a limited edition. Although the price isn't outrageous, because they're so limited, even female cultivators who love beauty often find it difficult to buy them, even if they have Spirit Stone.

Who would have thought that Copper Trigram Immortal Master had the connections to snag such a limited-edition robe?

"Every fellow cultivator in the Nine Provinces Number One Group is hiding immense power," Fairy Lychee thought to herself.

The Copper Trigram Immortal Master would never tell the ＠＃％×Fairy that he himself is a super VIP client of the Shy Flower Palace.

The Copper Trigram Immortal Master had ordered all sorts of robes from the Shy Flower Palace, both men's and women's. His maxed-out Disguise Technique also required a lot of money to maintain.

The Fairy Lychee donned this exquisite robe, a black halter-neck long dress style robe that perfectly accentuated her slender figure.

"Hmm, I feel like I've gained a little weight recently," the Fairy Lychee said softly.

Then, she took out her phone, made a hand gesture, and the phone automatically floated in the air, finding the perfect angle for taking a picture.

Snap! Snap! An invisible hand pressed the shutter button, capturing the beauty of the Fairy Lychee in the photo album.

Before selfie sticks were even invented, the Fairy Lychee's selfie skills were already maxed out.

She loves taking selfies, she's loved it since she can remember. Not only selfies, she also enjoys documenting the things around her; it's a hobby of hers.

Then, she selected a few selfies with the best angles and uploaded them to the Nine Provinces Number One Group space...
