"Is he losing blood again? However, I don't think he appraised anything this time?" Senior Sister Ye said, worried. She stretched out her hand, and the radiance of the healing technique fell on Song Shuhang's back. "Randomly getting wounded isn't going to become a new hobby of his, right?"

"How can randomly getting wounded become a new hobby!" Song Shuhang opened his eyes and said weakly, "Good morning, Senior Sister Ye."

"If we consider the time, it's already evening. Therefore, you should say 'good evening' Shuhang." Senior Sister Ye skillfully changed Shuhang's bloodstained clothes.

Song Shuhang said, "Good evening, Senior Sister Ye."

"Are you hungry? It seems you consumed all your physical strength and energy while you were unconscious," Senior Sister Ye said.

Song Shuhang felt his belly and said, "A little bit."

"Here, take it. The fasting pill Miss Chu Chu provided this time is fruit-flavored." Senior Sister Ye passed a fasting pill to Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang thought about something and said, "Eh? From what I remember, Chu Chu said that she had found a kitchen room with ingredients inside, right?"

Senior Sister Ye said indifferently, "Yes, but it was five days ago."

"?" Song Shuhang.

"The ingredients inside the room were all consumed. After all, it's been five days already," Senior Sister Ye said with a smile.

"..." Song Shuhang.

"Let's not talk about this sad topic. Otherwise, I might start crying. Although the room was full of ingredients, we finished them in only three days." Senior Sister Ye eye sockets had started to become red as she said, "Right, did you use the appraisal technique just now? Blood spurted out of your body a moment ago."

Song Shuhang forced a smile and said, "Yes, I used it. However, I wasn't the one triggering it, it was the ghost spirit this time." Then, he looked at the gloves of the Swordsman Wooden Ox he wore on his hands.

Although he managed to find a method to stop the secret appraisal technique from automatically activating, he didn't expect that the secret technique would find other ways to activate.

From the looks of it, the ghost spirit could also activate the secret appraisal technique the main body possessed after it had satisfied certain conditions, causing Shuhang to spurt out blood from all over the body.

What a headache!

It seemed it was better not to let the ghost spirit wander off before he had completely grasped the secret appraisal technique so as to avoid the latter touching something too powerful and making him bleed to death in the process.

Just the thought was enough to scare Song Shuhang.

Afterward, he recalled the information the appraisal technique transmitted to his mind.

The ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯. It's a diary describing the ascetic journey of a senior monk, introducing the 'Soul Ferrying Technique' of the World Saving Buddhist Sect. As long as someone with a compassionate heart reads the ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯, they can grasp the essence of the 'Soul Ferrying Technique'. If someone with a compassionate heart reads aloud the ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯, they would have unexpected gains.

Someone with a compassionate heart should read this 'diary'?

Song Shuhang had already completed the synchronization with the ghost spirit. As long as he wished to, he could experience everything the ghost spirit had experienced.

Since the ghost spirit had already read and recorded down the ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯ in its entirety, Shuhang could flip through its memories of the ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯ as though he was flipping through a real book.

"Apparently, someone with a compassionate heart has to read the diary aloud..." Song Shuhang rubbed his temples.

Is this the way to uncover the secret concealed within the ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯?

"What are you thinking about?" Senior Sister Ye asked.

Song Shuhang smiled and said, "I'm wondering how I should read a book aloud while maintaining a compassionate heart."

As soon as she heard the word 'book', Senior Sister Ye's eyes lit up. "Which book?"

Song Shuhang replied, "The ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯."

"Where is this book? Can you give it to me so that I can read it?" Senior Sister Ye said happily.

Song Shuhang scratched his head and said, "Senior Sister, even if you want to read it, I have no way of taking it out. Everything related to the book is in my memories."

"Is the content long?" Senior Sister Ye asked.

"It's not that long. It's pretty short, actually," Song Shuhang replied.

"Can you write it down in that case?" Senior Sister Ye said happily. Given the hand speed of cultivators, it wasn't a problem to write tens of thousands of words in one hour using paper and pen.

If Song Shuhang were to write the book down, they could read it together!

Then, after Senior Sister Ye's strong demand, Song Shuhang started to write down the ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯.

Just as Song Shuhang would finish writing a page, Senior Sister Ye would immediately read it.

Senior Sister Ye was reading the pages and commenting at the same time, "Is the author of the diary holding a grudge against the senior monk?"

"I also got the same feeling," Song Shuhang nodded and said, "Anyway, that's the outward content. According to what the appraisal technique told me, if someone with a compassionate heart reads the book, they would have unexpected gains."

"In that case, let's try to read the book together while maintaining a compassionate heart, alright?" Senior Sister Ye said sweetly as she put in order the handwritten pages of the ❮Diary of the Ascetic Senior Monk❯, turning into a proper book.

Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, at the entrance of the 'Celestial Pavilion'.

"Is there someone around?! Please, can you set me free?" Li Yinzhu felt like crying at this moment. She had been hanging in front of the entrance like the '大' character for a few days already, but the master of the pavilion didn't seem to intend to set her free yet.

For how long would she have to dangle in front of the entrance?

Her current posture made her feel a lot of shame.

Moreover, after been hanging there for quite a few days, she felt like peeing...

❄️❄️❄️

At this time, in the peripheral area of the solar system.

After leaving the Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion, the luminous jellyfish arrived here in this place.

In here was a very old lair of hers that was concealed in another dimension. Since it was hidden very well, no one had been able to discover it within the last 3000 years.

From another point of view, it had been lucky for the adventurers that they didn't manage to find this place belonging to another dimension because tens of thousands of them would have died while trying to barge in there.

After returning to her lair, the luminous jellyfish started to study the 'Dark Night Time Ring' that Slow-Witted Song had left behind.

While she was inside the Time City during the past several years, the jellyfish was together with the fluorescent black sphere for a long time. Although she studied the 'Dark Night Time Ring' up until now, she was unable to discover anything useful.

This treasure used to pass down legacies that contained the laws of time was nothing but an ordinary fluorescent sphere before its activation.

But after Song Shuhang activated the 'Dark Night Time Ring', cracks started to appear on its surface.

After she studied it day and night during the past few days, the luminous jellyfish finally made some progress.

But the progress didn't make her happy.

As soon as she started making progress, the luminous jellyfish immediately stopped all her actions. Then, she placed layer upon layer of seals on the fluorescent black sphere, putting more than 200 seals on it in one go!

Just as she was trying to uncover the secrets of the Dark Night Time Ring, a hard to describe feeling of restlessness welled up in her heart; she hadn't had such a feeling for more than 5000 years.

"Were my preparations not ample enough? Or is it not the right time to open the Dark Night Time Ring?" the luminous jellyfish muttered to herself.

After all, it was a treasure related to 'time', and it was normal for it to be strange.

After thinking up to this point, she placed the sealed 'Dark Night Time Ring' inside a treasure chest.

But just as she put the fluorescent black sphere in the treasure chest, her tentacles seemed to have bumped into another object through the 'Dark Night Time Ring'. Soon after, a silhouette full of hatred and killing intent appeared in her mind.

The sphere can directly influence my mind?

What fearsome thing is hiding within the Dark Night Time Ring?

"Perhaps I should look for some of my old friends and have them give me a hand..." the luminous jellyfish said softly. Then, she raised her head and looked in the direction of the Earth.

After that huge calamity caused by the new Wielder of the Will superseding the old one, were her old friends still safe and sound?

Earth, amidst some ancient ruins on the bottom of the sea.

Venerable White's exploration team was cautiously advancing, taking one step at a time.

After the disastrous first exploration, Venerable White's team decided to take things seriously and not look down upon the ancient ruins.

"There is a trap here. It's better to note it down immediately. With that, the fellow daoists of our group that come here the next time can avoid it," Venerable White said.

The nearby True Monarch Fallout was holding a drawing board in one hand and used the other one to quickly draw the map of the ruins on the board. True Monarch Fallout had accurately noted down all the traps they had encountered after entering the ancient ruins.

After Venerable White's initial investigation, Venerable Spirit Butterfly would check things up again just in case. The two Venerables worked together, and everything progressed smoothly for the past few days.

During the exploration, all the members of the team managed to get their hands on quite a few treasures. All the items that maintained the formations or traps inside the ancient ruins were treasures themselves. Therefore, they managed to obtain several treasures after disabling the traps and the formations.

At this time, Venerable White, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

The nearby Venerable Spirit Butterfly asked, "Fellow Daoist White, is there a trap ahead?"

Venerable White shook his head and said, "How much time has passed since we entered the ancient ruins?"

Soft Feather quickly replied, "The second time we entered the ancient ruins was on July 30th. Today is August 4th, late at night. So it's almost the 5th. Therefore, it has been six, soon seven, days since we entered the ancient ruins. After midnight, my dao name would change to Rain Mirror, but you still have to call me Fairy Bright Star for today."

The nearby True Monarch Fallout, Cave Lord Snow Wolf, True Monarch White Crane, and Great Master Profound Principle all silently looked at Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly silently turned his head away and sighed while giving the back to his daughter.

"In other words, it has been around six days since we came here..." Venerable White furrowed his brows.

Cave Lord Snow Wolf asked in puzzlement, "Senior White, is something the matter?"

Venerable White frowned and said, "The 'Ten Thousand Mile Flying Escape Technique' rune I have to Song Shuhang automatically activated after the time limit of 30 days was reached."

In addition, all the news related to the outside world would take from one to two days to reach them now that they were inside the ancient ruins.

In other words, the rune of the Ten Thousand Mile Flying Escape Technique Song Shuhang had with him activated one or two days ago after it reached the 30 days time limit...

True Monarch White Crane was astonished. "30 days time limit? Is it possible that 30 days have passed in the outside world?"

Was it possible that they had entered the immortal cave of a powerful ancient 'Immortal' that was related to time?

Venerable White blinked his eyes and fell into contemplation.

At this time, after giving his daughter the back and sighing, Venerable Spirit Butterfly finally turned his head around.

But in the next moment, Venerable Spirit Butterfly said in shock, "Eh? Hold on! Fellow Daoist White, don't move!"

"Hmm?" Venerable White turned his head around in puzzlement.

Eh? How come the distance between me and the ground is constantly reducing?

"Boom~"
