On the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’ prototype, a pool of liquid was constantly drilling into the glove… It seemed to have a desire to merge with the gloves.

The pool of liquid was Song Shuhang’s body.

And so, Scarlet Heaven Sword continued to urge Song Shuhang to get off the glove. The virtuous lamia stood on the side with a curious look on her face as she stared at the gloves and Shuhang, who were on the forging table.

Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Hey, Shuhang, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you at least say something?”

It had previously tried to directly strip Song Shuhang from the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’, but once it got close, the liquid that Song Shuhang had melted into would pierce into the gloves prototype, and his liquefied body would start to crazily merge together with the gloves.

Scarlet Heaven Sword was eventually held back by the virtuous lamia.

When Scarlet Heaven Sword was pulled back, Song Shuhang’s liquefied body would drill out of the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’ and continue to creep around it.

Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “Not good, it seems that Song Shuhang has gone mad.”

While they were talking, a figure rushed into the forging area of the Palace of Winter from afar.

The figure who was rushing over shouted, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, do you know how I died?”

Scarlet Heaven Sword and the virtuous lamia turned around and saw a naked Song Shuhang coming towards them.

“F*ck, Song Shuhang?” Scarlet Heaven Sword’s eyes widened—wait, it was a sword, so it didn’t have any eyes.

The virtuous lamia tilted her head and looked at Song Shuhang curiously. After looking at him, she moved her gaze back to the ‘liquefied’ Song Shuhang that was on the forging table.

She felt that both Song Shuhangs were real.

“Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, what the hell happened just now?” Song Shuhang stretched out his hand, and moved his clothes, magical treasures, and Swordsman Wooden Ox’s gloves of passion, which were all on the ground, over to him and re-equipped them.

Scarlet Heaven Sword slightly shook. “Isn’t it me who’s supposed to be asking what has happened? Why are you running over here from some other place?”

“Heavens, did you not see how I died?” Song Shuhang explained quickly. “The last thing I remember was me cooly stepping onto some black lotuses and leaping off to avoid the strange holy light on the forging table. After that… I found myself at my resurrection point at the ‘living spring’. There lay the ‘life talisman’ that I had buried in the past so that I would be able to resurrect should any accident befall me.”

“You died?” Scarlet Heaven Sword turned its body and pointed at the pool of liquid on the forging table with the tip of his body. “Then, what’s that?”

Song Shuhang stepped forward and quickly approached the forging table.

The virtuous lamia wrapped around Song Shuhang and protected him. As his life talisman has already been used, she could not allow any accident to befall him again.

Song Shuhang approached the forging platform and saw the liquid that was flowing in and out of the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’.

“F*ck, isn’t this me?” He was stunned.

This aura, the fluctuations of this innate true yuan from the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts ‘Technique❯… that was definitely Song Shuhang. Moreover, the liquefied Song Shuhang was full of vitality and life force. It didn’t look like it was something that was ‘dead’ at all.

If I was not dead, why did my ‘life talisman’ resurrect me?

Song Shuhang asked, “Senior Scarlet Heaven Sword, what happened after I stepped on the black lotus to avoid the strange holy light?”

Scarlet Heaven Sword replied, “You jumped, stepped on the black lotus, and landed smoothly. After that, you suddenly turned around and approached the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’ before reaching to grab them. I was still wondering what you were planning to do when your body suddenly turned into a pool of liquid and coated the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’. At that point, the bunch of strange holy light flames inside the glove was also enveloped by your liquefied body.”

After pausing, Scarlet Heaven Sword continued, “However, your life force has always been there, and there was never a point where it seemed like you were ‘dead’. So, why did you end up resurrected?”

“Damn it, my precious ‘life talisman’ was wasted just like that?” Song Shuhang rubbed his temple.

After thinking for a while, he took off the ‘Swordsman Wooden Ox’s gloves of passion’ and extended his hand towards the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’.

With Song Shuhang’s mastery of the ‘secret appraisal technique’, even if his palm did not directly touch the target, he would still be able to perform the appraisal technique across a small distance. The only downside was that the probability of a successful appraisal would be reduced.

He silently recalled those 88,888 voices in his mind and used the ‘secret appraisal technique’ on the gloves.

Song Shuhang really wanted to figure out what was going on with this thing.

Anyway, the secret appraisal technique succeeded.

Golden runes flowed out of his eyes and landed on the wriggling liquefied body and the Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves.

The clock hands flowed in reverse.

This time, only a small wound appeared on Song Shuhang’s arm. There wasn’t even any blood that flowed out.

The wound soon recovered. The cost of this appraisal was very small.

The golden runes returned, bringing back the results of the appraisal.

[Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves, forged from an Eighth Stage whale bone. It is a product that is still in a semi-finished state. The finished product is expected to be at the peak of the Seventh Stage.]

Heavens, the ‘Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves’ that Fairy Sixth Cultivator of True Virtue was going to forge for me is at the peak of the Seventh Stage? No wonder the number of times the ‘+100’ and the ‘+50’ appeared caused my heart to rend.

However, what I want to appraise aren’t the gloves, what I want to appraise is the wriggling ‘Song Shuhang’, Song Shuhang said in his mind.

At the same time, his heart was slightly flustered right now.

Recently, he had seen a lot of powerful people get a second version of themselves, so he was now a little worried that he had become ‘Song Shuhang Two’, while the liquid in front of him was ‘Song Shuhang One’.

[Liquefied version of Song Shuhang’s fleshly body: one of the raw materials used in the forging of a treasure. In order to forge the strongest and most powerful life-bound magical treasure, he chose to throw his fleshly body in the holy light flames, using his body to refine the treasure.]

Song Shuhang angrily said, “What!”

Was my brain kicked by a donkey? Why would I put my body into the furnace? I was living just fine, why would I seek to die just like that?

Scarlet Heaven Sword asked, “What’s wrong?”

Song Shuhang answered, “I just used a secret technique that’s similar to an appraisal technique, and the results of the appraisal was that I myself chose to throw my body into the flame to strengthen the magical treasure. How could I possibly choose to do such a thing? I’m not Senior Thrice Reckless! How could I have sought death like that? No, even if it was Senior Thrice Reckless, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing. That is no longer seeking death, but just suicide.”

…Perhaps only Senior Skylark of the Xuan Nu Sect would do something like that.

Anyway, with my character, it should be absolutely impossible for me to have done so!

Scarlet Heaven Sword replied, “However, when I was watching you at the time, it really did seem like you chose to fuse with the treasure.”

As it had said before, Song Shuhang had taken the initiative to approach the Defiant Whale Warrior Gloves before melting and coating the gloves and the strange holy light’s flames with his body.

After thinking about it, Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “So, there are two possibilities.”

Song Shuhang: “?”

Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “First, your head was kicked by a donkey.”

Song Shuhang: “…”

Scarlet Heaven Sword continued, “Second, you were possessed by something. The most probable thing that happened was that you were affected by the strange holy light from before.”

Song Shuhang frowned, and said, “It can’t be. I evaded the holy light at that time. Moreover, even if the holy light did affect me, it should not be possible for it to deprive me of my will so quickly.”

He had the virtuous lamia at his disposal, as well as the Sage Seal. Even if the holy light could affect his mind, it would have at least been a more gradual process.

Song Shuhang took a deep breath, thickened his face, and went to bother Senior White Two.

[Summoning Senior White, are you still awake?] Song Shuhang called out in his mind.

Senior White Two: [What is it? I’m barbecuing inside a cocoon, I’m busy.]

Song Shuhang: “…”

Barbecuing inside a cocoon? Is that really okay?

Also, Senior, weren’t you trying to lose weight?

Senior White Two said, [If you have something to say, then say it quickly. I can’t take too much attention away from barbecuing, and the fire isn’t easy to control.]

Song Shuhang replied, [Cough, here’s the thing. Something weird happened just now, and I ended up suddenly dying once. I feel that there is something fishy about it. Were you following the events in my Inner World?]

Senior White Two said, [I already reminded you that your glabella was especially dark this time and you had to be more careful. Did you not listen to what I was saying?]

Song Shuhang burst into tears and said, [I was very careful, but I still died somehow.]

Senior White Two said, [Alright, give me a bit of time, I’ll go and watch the replay.]

After a while…

Senior White Two replied, [I just watched the replay. Did you decide to use your body to forge the treasure?]

Song Shuhang said, [Of course not, Senior White. Why would I want to die like that?]

Senior White Two asked, [Then, did your head get kicked by a donkey?]

Song Shuhang replied, [Senior White, the boat of friendship needs to be protected carefully, otherwise it will flip over.]

Senior White Two said, [Then let it flip over. Don’t forget that you still owe me for the evil energy of the Netherworld. Honestly speaking, if you weren’t calling me from time to time, I would be able to sleep for 1000 years straight.]

Song Shuhang: “…”

Senior White Two said, [I watched it carefully this time and noticed a few points. First, that holy shit— umh, holy light carried an illusory power that affected everyone there. However, that holy light was just one of the factors. The main problem was your state. Are you transcending an inner demon tribulation? The power of the strange holy light brought out your inner demons, eventually causing you to do such a thing.]

Song Shuhang said, [Heavens, my inner demons?]

He was clearly not transcending an inner demon tribulation, but Ye Si was. Ye Si was his ghost spirit, and so Ye Si could affect him while she was going through her tribulation.

Song Shuhang asked again, [However, I have the light of virtue and the Sage Seal in my body. It shouldn’t have been that easy for the inner demons to control me, right?]

Senior White Two added, [The problem is, the inner demons affected you through a back door. Moreover, it wasn’t only your inner demons and that holy light, your body was poisoned. The poison was always lurking inside you, and it was with all of that together that you ended up losing control.]
