The Qitian Temple God Resonance began with mysterious fog surging from the Inner City's gates, pushing all participants to three hundred zhang from the temple and isolating them in a deceptive heaven and earth. The Divine Monkey, bearer of the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, prepared to undergo the test alongside others, including Li Che, who pondered his potential connection to ancient memories. Lv Taibai of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect ventured into the fog, encountering a curious little monkey that quizzed him on the Transformation Technique; his lack of knowledge led to the monkey's transformation into a towering Mixed World Giant Ape, resulting in his swift rejection and failure to advance.

"The four elements are: Black Sumeru for Fighting, Prison Lotus for the Prison Lotus Camp, Demon Saint for Deceit Demon Cave, and Equal Heaven... for the Dark Heavenly Court Camp."

"Lv Taibai, which one of these have you connected with?"

"Without even holding a staff or donning a Monkey Face mask, how could you possibly resonate?"

Fang Hanshu cast a glance his way and remarked calmly.

Lv Taibai fired back boldly: "Old Fang, didn't you pull out right away without resonating either?"

"I chose to step back on purpose since none of the four aspects felt right to me. That monkey... hates books, so of course, resonating is out of the question."

"That's why I left soon to enjoy the show."

"Only those truly ready can succeed in the Temple God Resonance; our aim... comes once it finishes, when we push into the Inner City to battle for the Equal Heaven Temple's legacy and hunt for the path to the Earth Deceit Que."

Fang Hanshu flipped through the Holy Sage Book as he spoke steadily.

Lv Taibai went quiet.

He swiveled his head to scan the surroundings.

Numerous shapes were advancing into the Mysterious Fog; even through its haze, they spotted those forms moving toward the dark void of the Inner City entrance.

Certain ones struggled after a single stride, clearly bombing the Temple God Resonance trial.

A few others glided ahead without issue.

Lv Taibai spotted a monk from the Western Regions Buddha Land at the forefront, murmuring a spell that lit up his rear with Buddha Light weaving into a Golden Cicada, buzzing non-stop in an irritating way, yet the monk steadily crossed the Mysterious Fog toward the Qitian Inner City.

Clearly, he had resonated successfully.

Lv Taibai noticed the Black Bull Demon God Venerable, his features hidden behind a monkey mask, shouldering a huge, sturdy staff, as he advanced, shaking the earth with every step.

"That's the Divine Weapon [Sea-crossing Purple Gold Beam], among the finest staff-like Divine Weapons, originating from Ancestor Dragon Island..."

Fang Hanshu explained.

Without doubt, this setup was meant for linking with the Qitian Temple God.

Lv Taibai stood stunned—these folks, how come they're all so extraordinary?!

Still, the majority couldn't resonate, tumbling backward with minds alert; even Grandmaster Lv Qiankun didn't make it.

Lv Taibai and Lv Qiankun shared a look, then both let out sighs.

"Looks like our Qian Yuan Divine Sect won't have great odds at linking with this Qitian Temple God."

Lv Qiankun breathed out softly.

Suddenly, Lv Taibai recalled something, his eyes turning toward the Divine Monkey gripping the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod.

In the end, Lv Taibai knew the real nature of the Divine Monkey.

The Divine Monkey... was actually Li Che!

"No! There's still hope for us!"

Fang Hanshu quit peering at the Holy Sage Book, his stare locking onto the Divine Monkey's outline.

However, once the Divine Monkey entered the Mysterious Fog, it halted motionless.

It appeared trapped in the Temple God Resonance too.

But was it really jammed?

Lv Taibai narrowed his gaze a bit.

For...

Strands of Demon Energy were surprisingly leaking from the Divine Monkey.

...

...

Li Che had on the Equal to Heaven’s Face and bore the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod.

The world around him started to blur, with nearby humans and Demon Race vanishing from sight.

Just he lingered, drifting inside the Mysterious Fog.

As he bumped against the fog, it broke apart.

All at once, the view in front of him sharpened.

A Daoist Temple appeared before him.

In front of the Daoist Temple, a small monkey perched glumly on the stone stairs.

Maybe it detected Li Che’s arrival.

The small monkey hopped closer.

His black robe billowed, and Li Che’s golden eyes, like blazing Golden Flame, turned gradually, observing the little monkey ahead calmly—the one clad in a tattered Daoist robe, hopping about.

The small monkey cocked its head and flicked its tail.

"Do you know the Transformation Technique?"

Under the Divine Monkey Mask.

Li Che’s mouth twisted into a wild grin.

He extended his hand and poked the little monkey’s forehead thrice.

"Of course, I know it."
