A mysterious fog envelops Qi Tian City, frustrating the cultivators outside who missed their chance to enter and participate in the Temple God Resonance for the rare inheritance of the Three Pure Ones. Inside a serene Daoist Temple, Li Che lightly knocks the head of a spirited little monkey and demonstrates his transformation technique, shifting forms through swirling ink mist drawn from the Fruit of the Heavenly Dao. Impressed, the monkey leads him into the temple, where a bell echoes and a lifelike divine sculpture of an old Daoist appears, tapping Li Che's head three times with a horsetail whisk while calling him a rascal.

At the same time, a message surfaced in his consciousness like a refreshing brook.

Suddenly, Li Che sensed the celestial bodies shifting across the heavens, with stars rearranging their positions.

All things grew sharper in his perception; he could now distinctly hear the whisper of leaves, the rustle of grass, and the tumble of stones upon the earth.

The flood of knowledge entering his mind gradually formed into a complete martial technique.

Li Che's heart settled; his eyelids lifted, and his vision scanned through the 'Heavenly Gang Immortal Martial 72 Changes.'

An inheritance of martial arts!

A faint glow appeared in Li Che's eyes; had he truly obtained a Qitian inheritance?

Surprise washed over him, as he hadn't anticipated that satisfying the young monkey's wish to transform would grant him such a valuable legacy.

The [Dragon Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit within his chest stirred, plunging Li Che into a hazy state of martial genius, allowing him to perform a basic examination of this technique.

'Immortal Seed Martial Arts!'

Li Che let out a breath.

From his assessment, he had discerned the level of the martial arts he received, matching the Immortal Seed Martial Arts [Qilin Suppression Seal] that Xi Xi earned when progressing from infancy to school age!

What an excellent beginning!

Yet, before he could explore this technique deeper, Li Che noticed the vista around him shifting once more.

Mystical mists swirled and enveloped everything, as the young monkey, seated in the Daoist sanctuary absorbing teachings and learning arts, finally triumphed and made his way back.

With one stride, he flipped through the air like rolling clouds, covering vast expanses in a blink.

Cascades of water erupted, creating illusory spectacles.

Monkeys throughout the peaks shouted in delight, their demonic auras surging and mingling wildly!

Li Che affixed the Divine Monkey Mask to his visage and raised his head to confront a horrifying Great Demon looming ahead, its fearsome demonic power coiling and surging uncontrollably.

Some demons towered like mountains, others raged like massive bulls, while some resembled enormous birds whose wings blanketed the firmament...

The demonic energies appeared to scour the skies and lands, overshadowing the immense heavens!

This abrupt transformation in scenery even startled Li Che, bringing a slight flush to his cheeks.

Though these Great Demons puzzled Li Che a bit, such uncertainties quickly dissolved.

For his thoughts turned to the Qitian Temple, the Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian...

Truly deserving the title of Demon Saint!

Having mastered his arts and returned to the mountains, he ascended to Demon Saint status?

Likely that was the case.

The young monkey's bearing had transformed utterly, shedding the previous guise of donning baggy Daoist garments and innocently pursuing mastery.

Now, he wielded accomplished prowess, manifesting the mighty Divine Skills befitting a Demon Saint!

Demonic auras roared, twisting and rampaging fiercely.

Demon Saint Monkey King, his expression turned somewhat savage, displaying unbridled pride and savagery, with demonic energies churning and boiling.

He lounged upon the Demon Saint throne casually, slouched without formality, one leg swinging freely, the other hanging loose, exuding wild extravagance.

And the formidable Great Demon emanating terrifying demonic power positioned itself behind the Monkey King, its eyes tracking his to fixate on Li Che donned in the Divine Monkey Mask.

Li Che abruptly realized why the Demon Race held such assurance in igniting Temple God Resonance and claiming the Qitian inheritance.

It all converged to this point!

Demon Saint Qi Tian!

'Kid, if you seek to join my Huaguo Mountain, what demon clan do you hail from? Are you genuinely one of us?'

'Show us your demonic aura!'

Upon hearing this, Li Che curved his lips into a soft smile.

'Very well.'

The [Ten Thousand Demon Emperor] Dao Fruit in his chest rumbled and quaked.

In the following instant, demonic power exploded like thunder, Li Che's whole presence flipped dramatically, morphing into the Night Bat Demon God immediately, then the Heavenly Crane Demon God, followed by assorted Demon Race forms siphoned via the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dao Fruit.

'Demon, that I can become as well.'

......

Qi Tian City.

The initial three hundred zhang of the Inner City.

Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, Fang Hanshu, and their companions halted, shrouded in enigmatic mists, their stares riveted on Li Che with the Divine Monkey Mask.

Apart from them, numerous participants in the Temple God Resonance who didn't succeed were also ousted, arriving at the three hundred zhang mark beyond the Inner City.

Gazing at the unveiled Inner Sect gateway, all bore looks of resignation.

Most Divine Sect cultivators grudgingly retreated, yet astonishingly, several refused to yield, pressing on through the mystical fog, inching nearer to the Inner City portal.

Lv Taibai and the rest experienced a touch of powerlessness; though missing out on Temple God Resonance wasn't catastrophic.

Still, securing Temple God Resonance would undoubtedly be beneficial.

Lv Taibai's silver locks billowed, a hint of reluctance in his demeanor; he couldn't even briefly maintain Temple God Resonance, which left him feeling quite downcast.

His eyes shifted to the Grand Prospect Dynasty group; Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and others appeared to have linked with Temple God Resonance, gradually progressing ahead.

Moreover, the Western Regions Buddha Land, Da Li Royal Court, and Ten Thousand Rivers’ Demon Race had all attained Temple God Resonance, steadily advancing from the three hundred zhang line.

'How come...?'

Lv Taibai's frustration deepened.

Fang Hanshu turned a page in the Holy Sage Book, casting a casual glance his way: 'It's simple to figure out.'

'Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qi Tian embodies all four aspects; as I mentioned... Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and Da Li Royal Court officials align with the governance element, which ties to the Qitian essence.'

'Western Regions Buddha Land connects to Fighting, while Ten Thousand Rivers Demon Race obviously links to Demon Saint...'

'Resonance begets resonance.'

'Everyone possesses a certain affinity level; at the last hundred zhang stretch, the rivalry will intensify.'
