Gongsun Zhi unleashed the Flowing Cloud Sword, its golden light stirring deep emotions in Zhuge Yueyue and forcing her to relive the tragic death of her parents. Overwhelmed by sorrow, she nearly succumbed as Feng Xiyun and onlookers urged her to hold on. Reflecting on her teacher's words, Zhuge Yueyue confronted her true self, shattered the illusion, and spiritual energy surged into her body.

With the surge of boundless spiritual energy flooding in, Zhuge Yueyue's body erupted in a brilliant divine radiance.

“Oh my god! This is a sign of a breakthrough!”

A vast blue glow burst forth, forming a diamond-shaped ice symbol on Zhuge Yueyue’s forehead. This marked the distinctive breakthrough into the ancient realm.

“Is this real? She’s breaking through to the ancient realm right in this situation?”

All onlookers were stunned. Never before had they witnessed such an extraordinary event; it was truly one of a kind.

“By letting go of her obsessions and embracing her true nature, First Sister is truly entering the ancient realm,” Feng Xiyun whispered to herself. Shock filled her eyes, leaving her utterly disbelieving in that instant.

Meanwhile, Zhuge Yueyue sensed the immortal bones within her unleashing fearsome energy, transforming her physique.

Soon after, an overwhelming surge of power exploded outward, shoving Gongsun Zhi—who stood nearest—far away in an instant.

Gongsun Zhi skidded to a halt only after being hurled a thousand meters back. He coughed up blood and crumpled to the ground.

Still unwilling to accept defeat, he tried to rise once more but lacked the power. All he managed was, “What exactly are you…

How did you pull this off?”

Zhuge Yueyue fixed him with an icy stare, her gaze devoid of feeling. That cold look served as her response.

“Embracing then casting aside your old feelings…”

Gongsun Zhi gave a bitter smile. He was forced to acknowledge the truth.

Zhuge Yueyue had no intention of sparing him now. Her sword swung toward Gongsun Zhi, poised to end him, when an unforeseen event struck.

A massive, wrinkled hand materialized in the sky, hurtling straight for Gongsun Zhi.

“Oh no, dodge now!”

At this sight, everyone's faces twisted in alarm as they hastily pulled back. The immense pressure from that hand crushed down so fiercely that no cultivator there could lift their head to identify its owner—not even Zhuge Yueyue.

Yet she clearly recognized it as the hand of an Immortal Divine Sect powerhouse aiming to snatch Gongsun Zhi away.

Still, Zhuge Yueyue refused to allow an easy escape for him.

Gongsun Zhi had earlier mocked the Great Wilderness Sect and even her master. How could she possibly let him slip away unscathed?

“Stop right there!”

Her words barely left her lips when the Cloud Heaven Sword shot forward, executing the Worldly Slash and even activating the Sword Dao Door.

As her strikes collided with the hand, the elder sensed a sting on his skin. Yet his grasp still seized Gongsun Zhi, followed by a burst of his full might!

“Oh my god…”

Once the elder unveiled his authentic power, the crowd grasped his horrifying strength. Even typical sealed immortal realm masters would falter against him, let alone Zhuge Yueyue.

His aura slammed Zhuge Yueyue down, leaving her gravely wounded. But she brushed the blood from her lips and sprang back up at once.

Having saved Gongsun Zhi, the elder spoke icily, “Little one, your talent shines bright, but sadly, you've disrupted my schemes badly.

Thus, death is your only path!”

No sooner had he spoken than the elder unleashed a devastating palm blast, intent on slaying Zhuge Yueyue on the spot.

Confronted by this horrifying force, Zhuge Yueyue felt death's shadow looming. She shut her eyes, resigned to her end.

Deep down, she understood that sparing Gongsun Zhi today wouldn't save her—the Immortal Divine Sect wouldn't tolerate her future threat. They’d never permit her rise.

Such was the harsh truth of the cultivation world.

Zhuge Yueyue had aimed to slay Gongsun Zhi, pulling a prodigy from the Immortal Divine Sect down with her in death.

But circumstances now made that impossible.

The colossal palm hurtled at Zhuge Yueyue, shaking the heavens and earth. Yet suddenly, a gigantic staff materialized.

“Haha! I’m here!”

“Who is it?”

The voice startled the spectators. Who dared meddle in this clash at such a critical moment?

From a distant cloud, a golden monkey soared in, gripping a golden-light-emitting rod.

Moreover, bizarre noises echoed from behind the golden monkey.

Thump thump, thump thump thump…

Jaws hit the floor as everyone gaped at the monkey whipping up storms and gales with his rod.

Seizing the distraction, Zhuge Yueyue dodged the palm. She shot a thankful glance at the fuzzy monkey.

Yet the monkey hadn't come for her rescue—his prize was the pill.

“Hahaha, I’ll take this pill since no one claims it.”

With a shameless yell, the fuzzy monkey lunged to grab the immortal pill.

The sky-dwelling elder exploded in rage at the sight.

“Damned monkey, how dare you interfere!”

His words ended as he struck at the monkey with yet another palm blast!

Surprisingly, though, the fuzzy monkey disregarded the fearsome palm entirely…
