Atop the Qitian Inner City tower, the revived deity Old Monkey conversed with the Earthly Ghost Emperor, Li Che, amid watchful eyes from cultivators below. Old Monkey offered to siphon Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to aid Li Che's breakthrough to the rare Martial Immortal realm and gifted him the Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Weapon, the Hun Yuan Ruyi Golden Cudgel. Li Che accepted the assistance but declined the weapon, as anticipation swelled among the onlookers for this unprecedented event.

Yet, with Qi Tian's revival, this staff carries a whole new significance for him. Echoing the guesses of countless Divine Tribulation cultivators, Li Che senses something unusual about Qi Tian; maybe he truly plans to ascend toward Earth Deceit Que.

Old Monkey stood stunned, never imagining Li Che would reject a gift like a Three Pure Ones Rank Divine Weapon.

"You have already recognized its master, and precisely because you let the Primordial Equal to Heaven Staff acknowledge you as master could I, Old Sun, manage to revive..."

Old Monkey spoke with a grin.

Still, purple flames danced above Li Che’s head, while a faint smile flickered in his golden eyes.

"But without the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, could the Great Saint truly remain the Great Saint?"

Li Che’s remark left Old Monkey momentarily dazed.

Then, he straightened up on the Heavenly City Tower, bursting into booming laughter, rocking back and forth.

"Fine then, I, Old Sun, shall borrow it for now."

"The Martial Immortal Realm proves incredibly tough. In this age, Strange Temples have risen from Strange Que, blanketing the earth and saturating the world with dense divinity..."

"These divine forces severely hinder Pure Martial. Even the slightest hint of divinity incorporated shatters the Pure Martial path."

"Thus, no one in this era should cultivate Pure Martial. They might at best conceal tiny traces of divinity within their bodies, unable to fully purge it."

Old Monkey murmured softly.

Li Che nodded at these words, inevitably recalling the True Martial Divine Sect's martial artists, who pursue True Martial along the Pure Martial route. Yet truly, it falls short of pure Pure Martial, hence termed True Martial.

The road ahead remains arduous, yet the resulting battle prowess surges to horrifying heights.

"So, are you truly prepared? Choosing to assault the Martial Immortal path means failure seals off any chance of reaching Divine Tribulation..."

"Do you trust in your own strength?"

Old Monkey’s golden eyes gleamed sharply, fixing intently on Li Che.

"Yes."

Li Che’s Mo Shan robe billowed as he hiked up his sleeves behind him, offering a soft smile.

Within his chest, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit thrummed wildly, echoing with dragon roars and elephant trumpets.

Should he fail, this era simply won't produce a Martial Immortal.

Such is Li Che's assurance, as the Dao Fruit's master who commands it fully.

"Excellent... As befits the father of the Daughter of Prison Lotus, truly exceptional."

Old Monkey’s gaze burned with intensity.

"Go on, extract the Ruyi Golden Cudgel; I, Old Sun, have no need for it presently. When it's time to strike Earth Deceit Que, I'll come borrow the staff from you."

"Draw it out right away, claim it; deep within the Primordial Ruyi Golden Cudgel rests my, Old Sun’s, insights into [Combat Divine Technique]."

"I, Old Sun, can't pass this secret art directly to you, but should you grasp it yourself, it'll become a tremendous boon."

Old Monkey declared.

Li Che gave a slight nod, his eyes shifting to the plain, unassuming Golden Hoop Stick that Qi Tian had lodged into the tower.

Golden radiance shimmered, intricate divine patterns etched across it, harboring a fearsome divine presence inside. Even under Li Che's control, unleashing it without the divine weapon's full release would still tap its immense durability for devastating destructive force.

Combat Divine Technique!

Li Che’s eyes lit up faintly.

He couldn't resist remembering the visions from the Heaven and Earth chessboard, depicting the Great Sage Equalling Heaven clashing against the death-qi infested six-winged Golden Cicada.

Back then, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven unleashed the Combat Divine Technique, its might overwhelming!

Compared to that secret art, even the Immortal Seed Martial Arts Li Che wielded seemed utterly inferior.

In truth, the Combat Divine Technique transcends mere Immortal Seed Martial Arts—it's genuine [Immortal Martial]!

Thus, Li Che resolved to give it a genuine shot.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

A gentle wind swept through, as if rattling the entire Heavenly City.

The announcement of the Underworld's Ghost Emperor attempting the Martial Immortal breakthrough had already rocked the city, yet now all eyes locked onto the tower.

Observing the exchange between the Underworld Ghost Emperor and the Qitian Temple God.

Suddenly.

Hearts pounded across the crowd, breaths quickened, every gaze exploding with fervent light.

For they witnessed the Underworld Ghost Emperor advance, step by step toward the massive Treasure Stick fixed in the tower beneath the dying sun.

The Treasure Stick mirrored the sunset's glow, radiating endless splendor amid steaming clouds turning rosy, a vision of utmost magnificence.

In the Qitian Outer City.

Numerous cultivators narrowed their eyes in focus.

Lv Taibai, Lv Qiankun, Xuan Jiu Zhuan, and others directed their stares toward the tower's spectacle.

Meanwhile, Imperial Court cultivators like Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and fellow Martial Gods wore increasingly intricate expressions.

In every heart at that instant, a single name resurfaced unbidden.

That name: "Great Supervising Minister."

Beyond the Great Supervising Minister's name loomed his prophecy as well.

He who claims the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod shall pull the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from Qitian City's tower, igniting chaos across the Dajing Mountains and Rivers.

Now, the Great Supervising Minister's foresight and prediction stood on the verge of fulfillment!

Poised for validation!

The Underworld Ghost Emperor!

No—more precisely, the entire Underworld could spark the turmoil engulfing the Dajing World!

Ye Pengju, Wang Kui, and other Imperial Temple Control Bureau powerhouses felt a surge of anxiety right then, their gazes locked solemnly on the tower's events.

Purple flames blazed, the golden skull radiating stark eeriness.

Li Che approached the Ruyi Stick step by step, extended his hand, and seized the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.
