"Is it luck then?" the jade white lion Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue said subconsciously. Song Shuhang didn't have any special innate talent when it came to cultivation and missed the best period to practice. But even with such a huge disadvantage, he was able to advance so quickly... in that case, he must have had some incredible luck, right?
Moreover, there was someone like Venerable White in the Nine Provinces Number One Group who was known for his heaven-defying luck. Therefore, Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue immediately thought about 'luck' as soon as Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said those words.
"Perhaps..." Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said with a smile.
He hadn't been online too much recently, but he was able to see from the chat logs of the Nine Provinces Number One Group that Song Shuhang was able to obtain the acknowledgment of most the fellow daoists in the group. Such an achievement couldn't be attributed to luck alone.
After an investment, one would expect a return. Now that the fellow daoists of the group had acknowledged Song Shuhang, he needed to train hard and return their trust.
"Moreover, even Fellow Daoist White seems to care a lot about this little friend," Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue also added.
Venerable White's luck had already reached abnormal levels. It was rather amusing that he, too, was unconsciously paying so much attention to Song Shuhang.

In the meantime.
After getting tossed around for a while, Song Shuhang was finally able to adapt to the gravity three times higher than normal, slowly getting the gist of how he had to fight against the giants.
The giants Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue materialized had a large build and an incredible strength. However, their intelligence was relatively low.
After adapting to the gravity, Song Shuhang brought into full play the advantage the ❮Virtuous Man's Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯ gave him. In the end, he was able to kill a five meters tall giant with the help of the treasured saber Broken Tyrant.
"The first one is down," Song Shuhang muttered to himself.
While battling, the strength of his constitution was continuously rising.
After all, the tempering one would receive with daily practice couldn't be compared to the tempering they would receive while in the midst of battle.
Moreover, the room was full of mysterious energy and matter. It was indeed the best place to temper one's body and strengthen the constitution.
Additionally, Song Shuhang discovered the easter egg Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue left behind... the giants would occasionally display the ❮Lightning Flash Fist❯ while attacking.
It's likely a fist technique of the Second Stage. Judging from the name, it seems a cultivation technique of the same rank as the 'Flaming Saber'.
The giants couldn't use true qi, either. Therefore, they would only display the pure fist stance, without the lightning damage, while executing the fist technique. Thanks to that, Song Shuhang had the opportunity to learn the stance of the ❮Lightning Flash Fist❯.
Of course, comprehending the stance alone was of no use. One needed to coordinate with the chant of the fist technique to make it work.
Such being the case, did Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue hide the chant of the ❮Lightning Flash Fist❯ somewhere close? Song Shuhang thought to himself.
❄️❄️❄️
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue smiled and said, "It seems that little friend Shuhang discovered my setup."
Then, he turned around and said to Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue, "Did you find that person?"
For the past few days, the jade white lion Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue had been looking for a certain person in the proximity of the moon. It was an entity that had the ability to make itself invisible, and one absolutely couldn't mention its name before finding it.
Otherwise, if it were to hear someone calling its name within a certain range, it would instantly flee thousands of miles apart, disappearing without a trace.
Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue rolled its eyes and said, "How can it be so easy to find that person? Unless it is willing to be discovered, almost no one can find it. However, I found some clues... you should be aware that several cultivators of the Fourth and Fifth Stage have been chasing after that magical treasure called 'Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd' these days, right?"
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue nodded and said, "Is it related to the gourd?"
"There was a little bit of that person's aura on the gourd. In other words, it's very likely that there was a close contact between that person and the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd recently," Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue said as it licked its claws.
"What's the origin of that Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd?" Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue asked.
"Maybe you should ask little friend Shuhang. Yesterday, that red-haired Spiritual Emperor looked for little friend Shuhang precisely due to the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd." The jade white lion stretched out its claw and pointed toward Song Shuhang.
Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue crossed his hands behind the back and laughed. "Therefore, finding that person is also related to little friend Shuhang?"
Sure enough, little friend Shuhang was a rather interesting fellow.
Just as Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and the jade white lion Fourth Cultivator of True Virtue were discussing, something changed in the battlefield below.
Little friend Shuhang was... defeated.
He made a small mistake and was surrounded by the giants.
Then, several fists exploded at the same time, burying Song Shuhang in the ground.
At the critical moment, a golden shield appeared in front of Song Shuhang, blocking the remaining attacks.
The golden shield was something Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue left on Song Shuhang's body just in case.
The moment the golden shield made its appearance, it meant that Song Shuhang had 'died' once.
Song Shuhang had a depressed expression on his face.
After ten minutes of rest, he entered the 'make-up test' mode.
The ruined parts of the ancient city were restored to their previous state, and the giants that Song Shuhang had killed also came back to life.
The hundred giants were now positioned outside the ancient city once again.
The make-up test had now begun!
If he were to fail, he would end up in the endless loop of the make-up test mode~
❄️❄️❄️
At the same time, in the proximity of the moon.
Just as Song Shuhang was fighting against the giants, many things happened in the space surrounding the moon.
For example, the cultivators that were chasing after the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd discovered that there wasn't only one sword light in space!
Just as they were chasing after it, the sword light with the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd suddenly divided in two... the cultivators were dumbfounded and didn't know which one of the two they should chase.
But that wasn't all. There was news of other cultivators seeing powerful sword lights roaming in the surrounding space from time to time.
Early this morning, a group of cultivators joined hands and was lucky enough to intercept one of the sword lights.
But when they jointly sealed the sword qi on the flying sword and prepared to happily divide the loot, they were dumbfounded.
What the f*ck is this?
The object on the sword light wasn't a magical treasure or the Soul Devouring Demonic Gourd. It was a flat-screen television with the eye-catching 'Made in China' writing on it.
We worked ourselves to death and even wasted precious sealing talismans just get a flat-screen television?!
"As if that wasn't enough, the television is even broken!" One of the cultivators of the Fourth Stage of the group was on the verge of tears. He had used a number of sealing talismans that was worth sixteen spirit stones of the Fifth Stage to catch the sword light! Now, he wouldn't even be able to get back the capital he initially expended!
In the instant this group of cultivators saw the broken television, they immediately felt as though a mouthful of old blood was now stuck in their throats, making them feel very ill.
At last, their vision expectantly shifted to the sword light... the sword light was incredibly powerful. Perhaps it was a very precious, and they could make up their losses by selling the flying sword?
But in the next moment, the group of cultivators finally spat out with tremendous force the blood stuck in their throats.
The body of the sword light was made of wood... and it seemed to be casually manufactured!
It was such a huge rip-off that they found the pain difficult to bear!
❄️❄️❄️
Just like a domino effect, after the first sword light was captured, several other sword lights followed suit and were captured one after another by the cultivators that had now joined hands.
After, these groups of cultivators started to expectantly search for 'treasures' above the sword lights...
Ding! Congratulations, you just obtained a broken microwave oven!
"Spurt~" The second team of cultivators that had joined hands spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ding! Congratulations, you just obtained a blown up fridge and humidifier!
"Spurt~" The third team of cultivators that had joined hands spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ding! Congratulations, you just obtained a broken television, a blown up air conditioner, some pieces of a fridge, and an induction cooker!
"Spurt~" The fourth team of cultivators that had joined hands spat out a mouthful of blood.
Perhaps the people on Earth would be able to see a very rare 'blood moon' today.
❄️❄️❄️
Time flew by.
Noon, 3 PM.
In a place on the moon where cultivators gathered.
A large group of cultivators with lifeless eyes had gathered here. The expressions on their faces looked extremely aggrieved.
"Other people have returned. Judging from their expressions, they also seem like fellow daoists that have successfully intercepted one of those sword lights!"
"What do you think they obtained?"
"I heard that one of the groups of cultivators that returned obtained a television and a fridge. Some of the younger cultivators were unable to resign themselves and started to study the television. They firmly believe that there is a treasure concealed inside the TV."
"It's not only the younger generation. I've heard that many other fellow daoists also brought back air conditioners, fridges, and microwave ovens they found to examine them carefully."
"They suffered a huge loss and weren't able to obtain anything in return. If it were me, I would also be on the verge of going crazy!"
"I bet they must be continuously cursing in their heart whomever did this."
Just as they were discussing, another group of cultivators came over. Their eyes were likewise lifeless and their expressions aggrieved.
Amidst the group, there was a cultivator with long hair that was gnashing his teeth in anger.
After approaching the gathered cultivators, the cultivator with long hair cupped his hands and asked, "Fellow Daoists, do you know if there is any news of a female monster dog appearing on the moon?"
"Eh? Little, brother, did you obtain something good?" the gathered cultivators asked curiously. Was it possible that he obtained a treasure that only monster dogs could use?
"Hehe." The young cultivator revealed a carefree smile and gave the thumbs up. "It's because I feel like bitching to my heart's content today!"
❄️❄️❄️
The next day.
July 29th, Monday. Today's dao name was Virtuous Buddhist Sabersman.
Yesterday, Song Shuhang trained inside the underground room at a gravity three times higher than normal. In there, he was tortured by the hundred giants for a whole day, and they only stopped at the wee hours of the morning. In the meantime, Chu Chu and Li Yinzhu were also brought over by Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue's servant to the scene of Song Shuhang fighting the hundred giants to assist.
Early morning, just as Song Shuhang got up, he felt that he was tired both in body and mind.
On the road of cultivation, one had to alternate between work and rest. Therefore, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue advised Song Shuhang to go out for a stroll. It was very difficult to visit the moon normally, and it just so happened that there was a place were cultivators gathered next to Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue's immortal cave. There was even a small street market there.
Therefore, Song Shuhang brought Li Yinzhu, Chu Chu, and Yu Jiaojiao together with him and headed toward that place with the help of Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue's immortal boat, curious as to what he would find there.
Of course, he would only take a look around. A poor wretch like Song Shuhang couldn't afford to buy anything.
After getting out of the immortal boat, Song Shuhang's group arrived at the entrance of the place. In the next moment, he saw a huge pile of home appliances just next to the entrance.
Microwave ovens, fridges, televisions, induction cookers...
