Li Che delves deeper into Temple God Resonance, witnessing the Monkey King's defiant life—from devouring forbidden flat peaches and abandoning his heavenly post to battling gods and enduring suppression under a mountain. Paralleling his own unyielding protection of his daughter Xi Xi, Li Che rejects becoming a compromising Buddha, reigniting the Monkey King's spirit and shattering seals across Qi Tian City. As the resonance completes, the Hunyuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel awakens, and the final fragment of the Qitian Mask appears before the Inner City entrance.

A subtle radiance emanated from the Equal to Heaven’s Face suspended in front of him, akin to gentle winds stirring its surface, causing the one-third fragment of the mask to oscillate like a delicate wind chime.

Upon Li Che’s countenance, the dual segments of the Equal to Heaven’s Face that had been joined together quivered lightly.

It appeared as if innumerable filaments erupted from the Equal to Heaven’s Face, then encircled the levitating mask, weaving together with every motion.

Countless threads of golden monkey fur glowed softly, undulating gradually like lithe aquatic weeds in a stream.

In the misty expanse afar, a haunting bellow from a Divine Monkey appeared to reverberate endlessly from the mask, unsettling the emptiness and stirring undulating surges.

Crack, crack—

Accompanied by that noise, the leftover shards of the mask merged seamlessly into wholeness.

A surge of warmth rapidly flowed from the mask, coursing through Li Che’s form like a bolt of lightning, delivering fresh knowledge directly into his thoughts.

Li Che’s gaze involuntarily sparkled with a hint of excitement.

For within his torso, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit pulsed with great vigor.

This fresh insight pertained to the realm of pure martial disciplines.

With a mere flicker of his awareness, he delved into it,

And discovered it was the full trio of martial techniques!

[Shattering Southern Heaven], [Flipping Immortal Furnace], and [Stepping on the Clouds]!

Of these, Shattering Southern Heaven and Flipping Immortal Furnace ranked as Divinity Transformation True Martial Arts, bestowed via the newly completed Equal to Heaven’s Face, whereas [Stepping on the Clouds] served as the culminating form, an Immortal Seed Martial Art!

Little surprise that the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit throbbed so powerfully!

"Yet another Immortal Seed Martial Art—truly deserving of the Three Pure Ranks from the Mysterious Temple. From merely one Temple God Resonance, I’ve shockingly secured two Immortal Seed Martial Arts!"

One being "Heavenly Gang Immortal Martial 72 Changes," alongside this freshly obtained [Stepping on the Clouds], which together form the core of the Heavenly Stick Technique.

"But... why Heavenly Gang Immortal Martial 72 Changes? Wasn’t it supposed to be Earthly Fiendish 72?"

A flicker of uncertainty crossed Li Che’s eyes.

The mask sealed shut, and the intact Equal to Heaven’s Face now fully adhered to his features.

Faintly, visions seemed to drift by, yet Li Che held back his curiosity, opting not to investigate further.

With the full Equal to Heaven’s Face donned, it was as if an intense blaze roared within Li Che’s soul, fueling a surge of audacity and exuberance!

The Heart-Monkey fire blazed with unyielding fury!

Even the Tao Tribulation Fire and Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame under Li Che’s command felt as though they were surging wildly in this instant.

Li Che drew in a profound breath; he sensed that should he step into the Tao Tribulation Space at this juncture and endure the Tao Tribulation Fire’s purification, he could potentially draw forth even greater quantities of the Primordial Dragon Elephant Flame via the Heart-Monkey Fire!

Regrettably, though, Li Che faced pressing obligations right now.

He could merely quell the fervent urge welling up from his core.

Furthermore, Li Che started to perceive the enhancements granted by the Equal to Heaven’s Face, noting how his overall spirit felt fortified, as if his Qi-Blood potency had surged by a full thirty percent!

That signified a thirty percent surge in strength!

Comparable to the explosive release of Qi-Blood from activating the fifth and sixth Qimen Divine Seed within the Eight Extraordinary Meridians!

In essence, donning the Equal to Heaven’s Face propelled Li Che from the Eight Extraordinary Meridians realm straight into the Nine Strange Gates!

The mask functioned much like a vital Qi Gate!

He himself... felt more potent, more alive!

A subtle grin tugged at his lips hidden beneath the mask.

Naturally, yet another factor preventing Li Che from probing the concealed visions in the Equal to Heaven’s Face was the emergence of the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel from the Inner City’s tower.

This Three Pure Ranks Divine Weapon had long been a coveted prize for Li Che.

Since departing Fei Lei City alongside his spouse and child, and reaching the Golden Light Prefecture, he had encountered tales of this legendary item, a Three Pure Ones Divine Weapon featured on the Divine Weapon List!

And at last, the moment to claim this Divine Weapon had arrived!

In his grasp, the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod quaked with unprecedented intensity, as if harmonizing with the Heart-Monkey Fire burning in his chest, shuddering without cease!

As a soul who had traversed two existences, Li Che’s essence carried echoes from a prior life, along with an innate yearning to master stick-based combat.

He found it impossible to ignore the magnetic pull of the Heavenly Stick!

Li Che’s eyes gleamed with fierce determination, the Heavenly Stick...

He would seize it no matter what!

Whoosh, whoosh—

As the vast Mysterious Fog gradually dispersed, thinning out while leaking from the city gate’s dark void.

The silhouettes concealed within the Mysterious Fog gradually revealed themselves.

The Western Regions Buddha Land’s monks pressed their palms in unity, their gazes bearing intricate cicada-like motifs.

And the Second Disaster Black Bull Demon God Venerable, shouldering the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam, a Divine Weapon matching the caliber of the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod.

As well as Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and fellow cultivators from the Da Jing Dynasty’s Temple Control Bureau.

Every silhouette emerged as though rousing from a deep daze and repose, some bewildered, others perplexed.

It appeared this Temple God Resonance had wrapped up in an unexpectedly sudden fashion.

They remained immersed in the Temple God Resonance, laboring to forge a connection with Temple God Qitian, aiming to inherit legacies and unlock potentials.

However, it felt as if the resonance had scarcely commenced before it abruptly terminated?

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable, enveloped in shadowy aura, narrowed his eyes, ready to heft the Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam and clash against the Heavenly Court’s Soldiers and Generals, aligning with the Qitian resonance.

Yet... right when the grand celestial confrontation with the Heavenly Court loomed on the horizon, they were thrust out of it.

The Black Bull Demon God Venerable abruptly experienced a crushing pressure, stifling his chest and rendering it almost intolerable, leaving him deeply unsettled!
