How could I have forgotten about my Inner World? No matter how deep in the night it was, nowhere would be as hidden as my Inner World,
Song Shuhang thought to himself.
As long as he entered his Inner World, n.o.body would be able to peep at him. It was his own place, thus making it the best place to practice those strange secret techniques.
Just when Shuhang was preparing to enter his Inner World to practice the ‘200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive’, he raised his head and saw the bright moon in the night sky.
It was said that the moon on the 15th was the roundest, but despite the Mid-Autumn Festival having already pa.s.sed, the moon today looked even rounder than the one then.
The night was as picturesque as a poem; it was simply beautiful. Such a wonderful moon could not be enjoyed inside the Inner World.
Perhaps I shouldn’t miss such a night… I guess I’ll just find a quiet place and enjoy the moonlight while practicing tonight,
Song Shuhang suddenly thought.
However, he remembered the ‘200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive’, and after remembering about the ‘500 ways to surrender to a human cultivator you’re unable to beat’, ‘How a male monster should win his female master’s heart, 72 ways to successfully usurp the position of the female master’s husband!’, and so on, he immediately overturned the idea.
These strange techniques were best suited to be practiced inside the Inner World… because if he were to practice it in the main world and got caught by someone, he would not be able to bear it.
In the end, Song Shuhang decided to practice inside the Inner World.
Before entering the Inner World, he glanced at the bright moon in the sky one more time… He truly felt that the moon today was especially beautiful; it was like it had an indescribable energy which deeply attracted him.

In the Inner World.
Song Shuhang went to the center of the Inner World, next to [Living Spring].
He took a deep breath in an attempt to completely rid himself of the sensation of shame.
I want to study the secret techniques, so no matter how shameful it might be, I have to persist and complete it. Moreover, n.o.body can see me here. This is my world,
Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Afterward, according to the ‘200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive’ that he had learned through living Lady Onion’s life, he began practicing.
The 200 skills were not as simple as being just 200 moves.
There were some skills with a great plethora of branches. For example, there was the ‘500 ways to surrender to a human cultivator you’re unable to beat’, which was a true test of shamelessness.
Song Shuhang said, “The first skill is the Divine Stealing Technique. It really sounds like bulls.h.i.+et. Since when could a stealing technique be considered divine!”
After saying that, he followed the skill’s introduction and began to practice the ‘Divine Stealing Technique’.
This skill was actually very powerful. At that time, Lady Onion had not even reached the First Stage, yet with this technique, she was able to steal a volume of secret cultivation technique from the Buddhist Nun Nine Lanterns.
Song Shuhang carefully felt out this skill and found that it contained some extraordinary moves. If these moves were to be used for attacking, he could easily raise the output of his saber technique.
Song Shuhang muttered, “These ‘200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive’ are indeed hiding something.
“So, there should be hidden tricks to the other techniques as well… No, I don’t need these tricks, I need the complete inheritance of the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯.” Song Shuhang shook his head.
After the Divine Stealing Technique, next up was the ‘500 ways to surrender to a human cultivator you’re unable to beat’.
One of its most powerful moves was the ‘Fiercely Kneeling on the Ground and Surrendering Technique’.
When Song Shuhang had first met Lady Onion, this was the technique that she had used.
One’s entire body would have to jump up high, and then fiercely kneel down with all its might—according to the skill’s introduction, the higher the jump, the greater the sincerity.
The corners of Song Shuhang’s mouth slightly twitched, and he began to hypnotize himself. “I’m only studying the techniques, it is for science. No, that’s not quite right, it is for cultivation.”
n.o.body was going to see it anyway!
And so, Song Shuhang jumped up high—with his current strength, he easily jumped to a height greater than 20 meters. After that, his body fiercely came accelerating down toward the ground.
For this, he also needed to have a suitable very shameful line to say—the secret technique especially highlighted that this line had to be read out; otherwise, the skill would not have much of an effect.
Song Shuhang gritted his teeth, and said, “Great Immortal, please spare this little monster. The little monster was just joking with you just now, I surrender!”
After finis.h.i.+ng this line, Song Shuhang felt that he had become completely indifferent to himself—something like shame would collapse once it reached a certain point. At that time, humans would become numb to shameful acts, no matter how shameful it was.
This mentality was also called ‘giving up hope’.
Anyway, I’ve already done shameful acts, it no longer matters how much more shameful it gets. My hands are already very dirty, so it doesn’t matter how much dirtier they get.
The 500 ways to surrender skill was really rich and varied. In addition to the ‘Fiercely Kneeling on the Ground and Surrendering Technique’, there was also the ‘Lying Down on the Ground to Show Your Belly Technique’—it was common sense that one should show their belly when they apologized! When apologizing, exposing one’s cute little belly to the human cultivator would show that they’re harmless, and with this cute expression, one could even bring out the compa.s.sion from the heart of the human cultivator.
However, Song Shuhang felt that something was wrong here. Since when was it common sense to have to show your belly when apologizing?!
In any case, this move would have one lie down on the ground, roll, and expose their belly to the human cultivator and sell the cuteness.
The secret technique also suggested that if the user was a cute monster, such as a puppy, kitten, or panda, it would be best to show one’s original form as that would bring about a greater effect when using the secret technique.
Song Shuhang had never given it much thought before, but these simple ‘surrendering moves’ were really hiding so many secrets and knowledge in such a simple move.
How terrifying!
What was even more terrifying was that there were still another 498 similar apologizing techniques that pushed people to the epitome of shame.
If this work was really created by ‘Slow-Witted Song’, he truly had to be abnormal.
❄️❄️❄️
It was not going to be easy to finish practicing these ‘500 ways to surrender to a human cultivator you’re unable to beat’.
Song Shuhang wiped his face. Within a short period of time, his inner shame had been blown out, and he’d already forgotten what shame was.
At this time, he began to meditate again.
While he was practicing these secret techniques, they did not resonate with the ❮Thirty-Three Divine Beasts’ Technique❯. It was clear that it was only when he had possessed Little Cai’s body that the two cultivation techniques had resonated strongly with one another.
Could I be practicing it wrongly?
Am I not being sincere enough?
Or could it be that I have to learn all 200 skills before there would even be a reaction?
Song Shuhang thought to himself.
He rubbed his face again. “Raise your spirits and just finish practicing the 200 skills in a single breath.”
❄️❄️❄️
With Song Shuhang being a Fourth Stage Realm cultivator, he was able to quickly try out all the 200 skills after putting in some effort.
At this point, the time was already 2 a.m. on September 15, 2019.
“It’s the beginning of a new day.” Song Shuhang looked at the time on his phone and lay on the ground decadently.
200 skills… he had actually practiced them from beginning to end.
However, the ‘Divine Beast Department’ hidden inheritance did not emerge.
There had not even been resonance between the two cultivation techniques.
The experiment had failed.
“Could I have guessed wrongly?” Song Shuhang said weakly. “It seems that it was just my wishful thinking. Perhaps this [All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family] is purely a silly monster cultivator organization that had secret techniques that were just as silly as the organization. It seems like it doesn’t have anything to do with the Divine Beast Department.”
Now, he was really thankful that he had practiced the secret techniques inside his Inner World, making it so that n.o.body saw him practicing the ‘200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive’.
Otherwise, he might have ended up considering killing someone if he was discovered.
“I stayed awake until the middle of the night to practice, only to end up coming out for nothing,” Song Shuhang said softly.
He then left the Inner World and appeared outside Immortal Fairy Bie Xue’s immortal cave.
After coming out of the Inner World, he looked up and saw the bright moon in the night sky.
The dim moonlight fell on his body. Gazing at the beautiful night, Song Shuhang felt relieved both physically and mentally.
“It would have been better to spend the time watching the moon,” he said to himself.
He deeply breathed out, looked at the round moon, and just let his mind wander freely.
A long time later…
A thought suddenly appeared in Song Shuhang’s mind.
[Should I try out the ‘200 Must-have Skills for a Monster Spirit to Survive’ under the full moon?]
After this thought appeared in his mind, he pondered about it for quite a long time.
The round moon seemed to have a strange power.
“For monster cultivators, the moonlight should contain some sort of strange power. If I remember correctly, practicing under the moonlight would allow them to have greater results in their practice,” Song Shuhang recalled.
When Yu Jiaojiao had been with him, she often ran to his room at night to bask in the moonlight and freeload the enlightenment stone to raise her cultivation.
Those strange skills were specifically made for monster cultivators. Perhaps… practicing the secret techniques under the moonlight would let it produce some special effects?
This thought was similar to a cultivator’s intuition.
It was as if someone had woken him up!
Should I try? While it’s still deep in the night, I can just look for a place without people and try it there quietly. I just have to be a bit more careful so that I don’t get seen by anyone,
Song Shuhang thought to himself.
Anyway, I already practiced it inside the Inner World today. Practicing it once is practice, practice it twice is still practice, it shouldn’t be that different to do it again.
After making up his mind, Song Shuhang brought out his treasured saber Broken Tyrant and flew away.
He flew around until he found a quiet forest.
His spread out his mental energy and nodded silently after confirming that n.o.body was in the area.
After that, he let out the invisible saber insect to patrol around.
“While the full moon is still in the sky, I should quickly practice,” Song Shuhang said softly.
And so, he started with the first skill, the Divine Stealing Technique.
After that, the Fiercely Kneeling on the Ground and Surrendering Technique.
He jumped up high and landed on the ground with a boom. “Great Immortal, please spare this little monster. The little monster was just joking with you just now, I surrender!”
At this moment, a spatial gate opened right in front of him.
And from it, a large sea turtle climbed out.
