Unfortunately, Shuhang had no way to access his QR code Golden Core Composition in his current state and log into his Cultivation group.
Otherwise, he would’ve recorded the old man’s lecture on the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯ and posted it on the group’s stories to show off.
He had even thought about what to write on the post: “Today, I traveled through time, went back to the past, and watched an old senior give a lecture. The senior’s lecture was truly exquisite, and I was fascinated by it.”
However, it wasn’t much of a problem as he could make a post after he went back.
Mm-hm, before posting this story, I have to check if I can select who can see the stories in the Cultivation group. I don’t want to let Demon Emperor Hezhi and the Indestructible Lord see my post.
After all, he was still planning to surprise Demon Emperor Hezhi when he held his real Profound Sage Speech in the future.
Surprises are surprises because they are filled with surprise.
If Demon Emperor Hezhi found out in advance that Shuhang was still alive, there would be no surprise at all.
Anyway, this was just a random thought that flashed through his mind.
Song Shuhang quickly shifted his attention to the old man’s lecture.
For the first part of the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯, the old man gave a quick but thorough explanation.
There was truly a wonderful, lasting aftertaste that came with the old man’s lecture.
After listening to it, Song Shuhang felt a little bloated.
He was feeling a sense of satiety, the type that came after allaying one’s hunger.
“This lecture is really awesome.” Song Shuhang was very impressed.
This was the first time he had come into contact with a way of speaking that made him feel so full just from listening to it. If he were to use this method during his Profound Sage Speech, would he be able to make all the practitioners in the universe feel a sense of satiety?
I should study this type of speech with the seniors and see if I can emulate it or not.
One is never too old to learn.
As long as a person is alive, he needs to learn every day!
Song Shuhang kind of looked forward to his next Profound Sage Speech.
I hope that my fourth “Profound Sage Speech” can bring a different feeling and experience to the fellow daoists all over the universe.

Beside the well in the bamboo forest, the old man paused for a moment.
The holy ape next to him handed him a cup of tea.
The old man took a sip of the fragrant tea, moistened his throat, and then continued, “Next is the General Principles Inheritance Chapter of the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯, which is also the essence of this technique. It’s like the final piece of a puzzle.”
This is it!
Song Shuhang concentrated. He had been waiting for this moment the entire time.
Moreover, he knew that the old man’s speech would be completely different for the upcoming portion of the technique.
The General Principles Inheritance Chapter had a portion that required the full comprehension of the trial taker, and simply listening to the old man’s lecture was not enough.
How much a practitioner could comprehend, and whether or not they could comprehend the most suitable version of the General Principles Inheritance Chapter for them depended on one’s fortune and talent.
The seven beast cultivators, who looked like the disciples of the old man, also held their breaths and focused.
After a moment of silence, the old man spoke.
When he opened his mouth, Song Shuhang felt his head explode. There was a wave of terrifying buzzing sounds, similar to tinnitus, and his vision became filled with nothing but white.
This was a technique that could not be recorded in words, expressed verbally, or seen with one’s eyes.
Song Shuhang could not sense anything except the humming sound.
His eyes could not see, his ears could not hear, and even his mental energy was blocked.
How am I supposed to comprehend the General Principles Inheritance Chapter?
Could it be that I really have no fate with it?
Am I just going to miss this opportunity?
Not only am I going to fail to obtain the General Principles Inheritance, but I’m also going to owe a huge debt because of that gigantic immortal boat!
Just as Song Shuhang was immersed in his thoughts, the explosion in his head subsided, and his vision gradually recovered.
He discovered that he had become a 2D character, and his body had been shrunk down to the size of a palm.
It was not only him, because the seven beast cultivators had also turned into 2D stickers.
Why does this sight feel so familiar?
The old man was still delivering his lecture, but Song Shuhang could not hear his voice. The words could not reach his ears.
The old man stretched out his hand, and the eight stickers, including Song Shuhang, were summoned to the past.
The divine dragon and holy ape took action and pasted the “stickers” on the old man’s arms.
As for the transparent 2D sticker that Song Shuhang had transformed into, the divine dragon and the holy ape could not see it.
However, under the attraction coming from the old man, the sticker that Song Shuhang had transformed into also latched onto the old man’s arm.
It was a strange feeling.
Song Shuhang did not know how to describe it, but he didn’t like it too much.
❄️❄️❄️
The old man said, “The seven of you, get ready. You only have one chance.”
It was only then that Song Shuhang noticed that the old man had been using the language of the ancient era to deliver the lecture. What was strange was that he could understand all of it.
In the next moment, light flashed between the old man’s eyebrows.
He was opening up a part of his memory.
The seven beast cultivators and Song Shuhang were wrapped in the light, and their consciousnesses were sent to a certain memory of the old man.
The General Principles Inheritance Chapter could not be described, recorded, or observed, so the only opportunity to learn it was to witness the moment the old man created it.
To be precise, what they would witness was the phase before the technique was completed.
The consciousnesses of Song Shuhang and the others reached their destination.
They were like stickers, attached to the old man’s arms as he created the General Principles Inheritance Chapter.
From the beginning to the end, they observed the process of creation.
From the initial drafting to the detailing, to the repeated experiments and revisions that brought out the best results.
The technique was modified and improved again and again.
Even for someone as powerful as the old man, it was not easy to create a cultivation technique infused with the power of laws.
This process reminded Song Shuhang of a scientist’s experiments.
The process took very long, and there were thousands of revisions.
The seven beast cultivators and Song Shuhang experienced this process in detail.
It’s a bit like my dreamland ability, except that it doesn’t feel that real, Song Shuhang thought to himself.
When entering the dreamland, Shuhang would live as the target, but the old man’s 2D sticker technique only allowed people to enter his memory from a viewer’s perspective and watch from the sidelines.
The old man, who was in the process of creation, said, “It’s almost there.”
He began to formally write the General Principles Inheritance Chapter.
As the writing began, the consciousnesses of the seven beast cultivators and Song Shuhang began to blur.
Even through the memories of the old man, the General Principles Inheritance Chapter was impossible to extract.
However, the purpose of the old man’s lesson had already been achieved.
What was important was the whole process of creating the general outline, the revisions, and the experience of that repeated scrutiny.
From this experience, theoretically speaking, one would have the tools and knowledge to comprehend the ❮General Principles Inheritance Chapter❯.
It was an indirect way to reach the end goal.

Song Shuhang’s consciousness returned to the crystal room.
The owner of the crystal room looked at him and smiled. “Little friend, did you gain anything?”
Song Shuhang raised his head, a troubled expression on his face.
In the end, he was only a newbie who had been in the world of cultivation for half a year!
