Old Monkey persuades Li Che to wield the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, embedding within it his Combat Divine Technique insights to support Li Che's bid for Martial Immortal amid an era hostile to Pure Martial paths. Li Che affirms his resolve despite the risk of forfeiting Divine Tribulation ascension, his Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit surging with power. As cultivators recall the Great Supervising Minister's prophecy of upheaval, Li Che ascends the tower and grasps the embedded staff.

Since he had pulled it out once already, now the moment had come to grasp the hidden secret arts and striking techniques within this Hundred Battle Divine Weapon that accompanied the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

Combat Divine Technique!

True Immortal Martial Arts!

Crack…

No hesitation at all, pulling it felt as natural as wielding his personal Treasure Stick.

Buzz buzz buzz—

A fearsome tremor burst from the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, unleashing countless billions of vibrations in a flash, sending unseen ripples flooding through space, as though the void quaked on the verge of total rupture.

Rumble—

An earth-shaking roar exploded, like colossal waves surging across the Vast Sea or the dawn of creation itself, collapsing the area around the Treasure Stick into fragments amid swirling clouds and skies ablaze with rosy glows!

In that instant, the Divine Weapon appeared fully awakened, erupting with dazzling splendor and infinite radiance!

Numerous onlookers suddenly sensed an oppressive weight, their breaths growing labored and heavy.

The glow carried immense might, merely bathing their forms in light made them feel crushed beneath its force.

This Divine Weapon, forged with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, was utterly fearsome; even as Li Che gripped it, he perceived its overwhelming terror.

Dong dong dong dong—

Li Che's gaze sharpened, flames seemingly leaping toward the heavens in his eyes.

The void quivered faintly, and with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in hand, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit in his heart pulsed wildly before its energies seeped forth, morphing into a Dragon Elephant phantom that wrapped around the Treasure Stick!

Old Monkey perched atop the city wall, his simple robes whipping wildly in the gale.

Astonishment flickered in his gaze as well.

To think Li Che could trigger such a phenomenon just by seizing the Treasure Stick.

Next, he watched as Li Che wielded the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel, launching into a martial display right on the city tower!

A true display it was, for as the Treasure Stick trembled in his grasp, myriad stick phantoms rocketed skyward, and from the opening stance alone, Old Monkey identified the technique.

“This is… Shattering Southern Heaven!”

Old Monkey chuckled, scrubbing at his face—which bore a mask.

So, this young man had long inherited his Fighting Victory legacy.

No surprise then that Li Che earned the Ruyi Golden Cudgel’s approval and claimed mastery; he’d already known this Fighting Victory secret technique.

Incomplete though it was, the Three Stick Styles formed the essence of the Fighting Victory arts!

One stick shattering Southern Heaven, embodying Fight.

One stick as Heaven-Flipping Furnace, embodying Battle.

One stick Stepping on the Clouds, embodying Victory!

Boom—!!!

Atop the city wall, the Earthly Ghost Emperor's frame swelled massively, his skin aglow with gold where veins throbbed like raging dragons, and as Li Che clutched the Ruyi Golden Cudgel—bolstered by insights from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit—he unleashed his martial prowess!

Stick shadows overlapped in illusory splendor, void ripples surging without end.

A gateway materialized, slamming down to crumble, its energies inverting to pierce the skies, forming a Pill Furnace that exploded from a stomp, igniting a fiery ocean that wove into a glorious hall—itself crushed beneath a single staff strike.

Surreal and profoundly arcane!

Qitian City fell utterly silent, save for the ferocious martial exhibition of the Earthly Ghost Emperor.

After what seemed an eternity.

Gales subsided at last, tides receded, resonances lingering faintly.

The Earthly Ghost Emperor's Mo Shan billowed as he held the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, poised like a statue on the city tower.

Li Che's eyes snapped open, golden rays converging before him.

Coalescing into a profound secret art.

[Combat Divine Technique]

Immortal Martial Arts!

Li Che sensed its profound challenge, surpassing even the Heavenly Three Strokes in potency.

Yet he had conquered it now.

Insights surging from the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit propelled his martial comprehension skyward, and through this display, he fully claimed this Immortal Martial Arts!

A god's assault secret technique!

Achieved at the entry level, perfectly mastered!

On the city tower.

Sunset had vanished beyond the horizon, cool moonlight ascending.

Lunar glow bathed the world, silver luster draping the mortal realm.

Old Monkey remained seated there, eyes holding traces of wonder—this martial aptitude rivaled his own from years past.

Back then, after three bows to his master, he'd sought Dao lessons under cover of night, mastering countless secret kills and arts in a single evening.

This one, bearing the Daughter of Prison Lotus's burden, the Heavenly Slaughter Star fate's might, and the unyielding sire of the Daughter of Prison Lotus, truly possessed remarkable martial gifts.

“Thank you, senior!”

Li Che beamed with satisfaction, cupping fists in salute.

“Your own talent made it so; even sans this old monkey's nudge, you'd have unraveled the Combat Divine Technique from the Ruyi Golden Cudgel yourself.”

Old Monkey dismissed it with a wave.

Then, pinching two fingers, he rent the void and plucked casually from within.

Clangs rang out ceaselessly.

Those were Supreme beings' Divine Weapons, shattered...

“Your Old Sun demolished those Supremes in a frenzy, but a handful of sturdy Divine Weapons endured; take them.”

Li Che's eyes gleamed.

Ultimately, Li Che selected a Pill Furnace and a banner.

“Is this… Gathering Immortals Flag?”

“Nah, merely a counterfeit banner, a base Divine Weapon forged by some Supreme as an imitation—not the genuine article.”

Old Monkey narrowed his eyes: “Gathering Immortals Eight Flags, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, Cosmic Primordial, assembled they summon all immortals, letting ancient gods tread the mortal plane, wielding Heaven and Earth order laws of unfathomable depth.”
