• Song Shuhang guessed that reaching the Longevity realm required comprehension rather than following a fixed cultivation technique.

Song Shuhang learned how the Ancient Heavenly Court served as the Heavenly Emperor’s path to longevity and received a self-activatable memory-sealing spell and a rabbit-shaped Shrinking Bag from the senior. The senior sent Miss Jiudeng flying out of the hall for sleeping through his lecture, while Venerable White found a clue atop the great whale in the Eastern Sea.
