315. Chapter 310: The Treasure Soul Appears to Announce All Gods Under Heaven, the Transformed Divine Zhenwu Breaks the Southern Sky with One Staff 【Seeking Monthly Tickets】

Clack—clack—

Thunder raged ferociously above the Nine Heavens, suddenly appearing within endless leaden clouds, the dark, oppressive cloud layer seemed to descend to the mortal world, bringing extreme claustrophobia.

And countless bolts of lightning burst forth from it, the cold, austere air seemed to be tinged with a numbness that prickled the skin.

Pat‑pat‑pat…

Perhaps the heat brought by the thunder caused the mass of snow accumulated in the clouds to melt into rain, which then, under the scorching temperature, fell rapidly from the heights.

Divine Eagle Ridge, atop an endless boundless snowfield.

Someone instinctively lifted their head, eyelashes trembling, and the rain droplets falling from the sky reflected in their pupils, enlarging continuously.

On the rain droplets, mirror‑like, reflected the ever‑collapsing Guiyi Miao, Strange Gate, Strange Mist…

And from the parting Strange Mist, a carefree, unrestrained figure in a loose black robe stepped out slowly.

Beneath the tattered mask fluttering with golden monkey hair, the faintly exposed corner of the mouth curved into a flamboyant arc.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

Only the scorching rain droplets from ten thousand feet fell onto the snowfield, emitting a muffled thud.

And the Divine Monkey stepped out of the Guiyi Miao step by step, accompanied by the scene of the temple disintegrating behind it.

Everyone stared in stunned silence.

Even Lu Taibai, whose black pupils beneath silver eyebrows, couldn't help but squint slightly.

Guiyi Miao…

Collapsed?!

Lu Taibai hadn't seen such a scene for the first time.

As a Dual Absolute Peak strongman, he had naturally raided the Guiyi Miao before; when the temple god's divinity was completely extracted, the temple god fell into slumber, causing the Guiyi Miao to collapse.

This kind of collapse differs from the disappearance of the Guiyi Miao under the Su family's jurisdiction, which vanished from the mortal world.

The latter is irreversible, completely vanishing from the world, even the Strange Gate dissipates without a trace, as if it never existed.

The former occurs because the temple god's divinity is exhausted, falling into sleep…

The Guiyi Miao collapses but does not disappear entirely; according to Lu Taibai's conjecture, it must have collapsed into the Strange Gate.

And the Strange Gate still exists in reality, though it becomes sealed, essentially re‑nurturing the Guiyi Miao; after as little as ten years, or several hundred, even up to a thousand years, the gate reopens.

Then the Guiyi Miao within the Strange Gate will sprout anew like spring bamboo shoots.

The Guiyi Miao collapsing behind the Divine Monkey is exactly this situation right now.

However, such a circumstance is exceedingly rare.

Lu Taibai was puzzled; even if the Divine Monkey took the Heart‑following Golden‑Iron Divine Staff, a Fifth Elder Ascendant Divine Weapon… how could that cause the entire Guiyi Miao to collapse into the Strange Gate and fall into slumber?!

Taking away a divine weapon…

That would drain all divinity from a Fifth Elder Ascendant Temple God?!

Divine Monkey…

No, Xixi's father.

What on earth did you do?

Lu Taibai gulped down the milk tea in his cup in one bold swallow, his slender fingers lightly tapping the tabletop.

He had already guessed the Divine Monkey's identity; though surprised, he could accept it.

Originally, Lu Taibai had guessed that Li Che was a Bull Demon or a Horse‑Face, and was even convinced.

But…

Now it seems the two are someone else.

Indeed, the earlier belief that Horse‑Face was Li Che stemmed from the bizarre mechanisms Horse‑Face produced, capable of long‑range strikes and detonations, unleashing terrifying destructive power…

Although for an Absolute Peak strongman, the power was somewhat underwhelming.

But…

These are just mechanisms.

They can be deployed without great strength; if numerous, the implication behind them could be vastly different.

Now, after careful thought, Lu Taibai realized that Horse‑Face merely retrieved and used the mechanisms, which does not mean he crafted them.

Lu Taibai suddenly gave a faint smile.

Whether Li Che is the Divine Monkey, or Horse‑Face, or Bull Demon…

It's not a big problem.

In fact…

If Li Che truly is the Divine Monkey.

He might not care at all whether his identity is exposed.

He already has that confidence.

Moreover, few can correctly guess that the Divine Monkey is Li Che.

Because aside from the three elders of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect—Gongxu Jingjun, Tang Xie Jia, and Ding Zi—no one has personally seen the Divine Monkey carve this Divine Eagle.

Perhaps some think Li Che carved it for the Divine Monkey?

Lu Taibai could guess because of the intuition unique to Absolute Peak strongmen, that instant Dao‑essence perception that led him to this conjecture.

Whether it's accurate or not, Lu Taibai still needs to ask the three—Gongxu Jingjun and the others—and, incidentally… remind them to keep quiet.

If Li Che's identity as the Underworld Divine Monkey were truly exposed, it would indeed be troublesome.

After all, the significance of that Heart‑following Golden‑Iron Divine Staff is immense, concerning Qitian Temple and the top ten Three Pure Divine Weapons in the Dàjǐng Qin Tian Divine Weapon Registry…

It would surely stir the hearts of the Absolute Peaks.

Li Che, as Xixi's father, if something happens to him it will affect his treasured disciple, the future cultivation mindset of the Divine Sect's junior sect leader.

Lu Taibai truly treats Xixi as his successor to be cultivated.

Besides genuinely believing in Xixi's talent, Lu Taibai also thinks that among his direct disciples she is the only normal one capable of succeeding the head of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Therefore, she must be well cultivated.

She must not go astray, must not take a crooked path, must not die prematurely…

So protecting Xixi's family is also what he, as a master, should do.

Sigh—

In these days, taking on a normal disciple isn't easy.

However, regarding today's matter, Li Che's identity as the Divine Monkey probably won't stay hidden for long.

Grand Master Huang Mei behind Huang Tuo, and Ji Mo Li behind Ji Lishou, as well as the sect heads of the three great divine sects—Heavenly Pill, Mysterious Talisman, and Seven Treasures—are also extraordinary.

As true top‑tier Supreme Masters, they still have their own judgments.

Nevertheless, how long they can conceal it is as long as they can…

Xixi's dad is something.

Lu Taibai twitched his finger on the tea table, then stopped abruptly.

"A Martial Saint…."

Even if it appears frivolous due to the rapid advancement, it is still a Martial Saint who gained an opportunity and coincidentally broke through.

That is still a Martial Saint.

Someone who can become the true pillar of the Divine Sect.

"Interesting…"

"For this year's Peach Banquet, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect should be able to make a move…"

Lu Taibai smiled.

Of course, hiding Li Che's Divine Monkey identity has another important reason.

That is, the Peach Banquet hosted by Empress Dàjǐng of Shendu is about to begin, and Li Che and Xixi, this father‑daughter pair, will both go to Shendu.

At this critical moment, keeping Li Che's identity concealed is, of course, best.

And moreover.

Li Che being the Divine Monkey is only good news for the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

"—The Heart‑following Golden Iron Divine Staff…"

"…in the end it fell into the hands of our Qian Yuan Divine Sect."

Lu Taibai, in high spirits.

Watching the Divine Monkey step forward piece by piece, his eyes were full of admiration.

Lu Taibai smiled again.

He mixed himself another cup of milk tea.

Drank it in one gulp.

"I wonder who the Underworld King Yan really is… wearing a mask, it's not an old friend."

"Actually, I'd quite like to chat."

…

…

Divine Monkey—!!!

Underworld Divine Monkey!

The entire Divine Eagle Ridge erupted like a boiling pot!

Xixi leapt out of the carriage, excitedly hopping on the carriage pole, clapping and cheering.

"It's the Divine Monkey Master!"

Xixi had, of course, seen the Divine Monkey before.

Xixi had seen the Underworld fiends—Bull Demon, Horse Face, Divine Monkey—but had not yet seen the Thunder Dragon, Black and White Impermanence, and had never seen the Supreme King Yan.

Bull Demon, Horse Face, and Divine Monkey have all taught Xixi many things.

Bull Demon taught Xixi her combat style, Horse Face taught her the art of setting off fireworks, and Divine Monkey taught her practical combat techniques…

Strangely, all three masters gave Xixi a great sense of familiarity and safety, and Xixi loved training with them!

However, the only regret is that these masters are all elusive.

Xixi can't see them every day either.

Now, the Divine Monkey has obtained a divine weapon from Guiyi Miao; although it wasn't his father who got it, Xixi is still very happy.

Father still has some shortcomings; back home he must work hard on cultivation.

However, Xixi's expectations aren't high; after all, father is only a modest Grandmaster, and contending with numerous Martial Saints and divine embryos truly burdens the old man.

Xixi hopped and leapt, cheering joyfully.

She turned her head to glance at Golden Tai Sui, whose stiff body stood woodenly behind Xixi, like a block of wood.

Golden Tai Sui pursed his thin lips, looking a bit embarrassed; he is a junior shaman of Witch God Mountain, though… temporarily fallen to the plains.

But he also has his own bottom line!

This is such a shameful thing!

"Little Golden One, shout!"

Xixi placed both hands on her hips, puffed out her little belly, and ordered.

Golden Tai Sui clenched his fist: "Divine Monkey, Divine Monkey, you truly are… amazing!"

These are the words Xixi trained him to shout.

Very embarrassing.

But, the Golden Tai Sui chose to obey.

I don't even know where Xixi learned these embarrassing shouts.

Xixi, however, burst out laughing; this is the little song Daddy taught her to hum!

Originally I planned to celebrate for Father, but Father is disappointing, so I'll give it to the Monkey Master instead!

Li Che, having just stepped out of the Guiyi Miao, wore the Monkey King mask, unrestrained and wild, with golden monkey hair flying and dancing wildly across the mask.

After donning the Heaven‑Equal mask, his perception became especially keen, even his heaven‑man sense received a tremendous boost.

He naturally heard clearly Xixi's command for the Golden Tai Sui to shout.

This little girl...

At such a young age, she's quite overbearing.

Crackle—

Raindrops fell, but before they could land on Li Che, a powerful force vaporized them into mist.

«The netherworld has obtained the As‑You‑Wish Golden Iron Divine Staff?! »

«It really seems to be the case…»

«Damn it, this is troublesome now… this netherworld, appearing and disappearing like a ghost! »

……

Many forces' expressions changed slightly.

No one expected that the Monkey King would suppress so many martial sages and divine embryos, obtaining the As‑You‑Wish Golden Iron Divine Staff.

Although the deity of the Two‑Heart Great Sage Temple is also just a monkey, but…

This isn't a test of the temple deity's resonance.

It's not that simply wearing a Monkey King mask will earn the divine weapon's approval.

If someone else obtained the As‑You‑Wish Golden Iron Divine Staff, given its uniqueness… after all, it concerns the Equal Heaven Temple; if the holder lacks some background, it's uncertain whether they could walk out of the Qianyuan Dao City alive.

And if a person from the Qianyuan Divine Sect obtained it…

That would certainly be a major upheaval.

After all, the Dàjǐng court would not stand by while the Qianyuan Divine Sect obtains the Equal Heaven inheritance and then rises like the Equal Heaven Temple, suppressing the six paths and twelve provinces of the world…

So, once a person from the Qianyuan Divine Sect obtains this treasure staff, the impact will be enormous.

In fact, all sides have already made preparations and arrangements.

And now…

The netherworld's Monkey King has obtained the divine weapon.

The Netherworld, a force outside the Qianyuan Dao City, sounds like an extremely unfamiliar name.

Upon the Buddha's palanquin.

Huangtu, the Half‑Sage Golden‑Condor, dead‑locked his gaze on the lax, wanton figure bearing the As‑You‑Wish Golden Iron Divine Staff, walking out so arrogantly as the Monkey King's incarnation.

On the middle‑aged monk's face, a hint of fervor inevitably appeared.

«This patron…»

«You have karmic affinity with my Buddha! »

«The As‑You‑Wish Golden Iron Divine Staff is originally my Buddha's treasure; your obtaining its recognition is naturally due to our karmic bond, a great bond! »

«If you take refuge in my Buddha, you will surely attain the true Buddha's position, just like the Two‑Heart Great Sage! »

Huangtu's kasaya fluttered, his palms pressed together.

Buddha's light shone upon him, making him look… extremely serene and transcendent.

Beneath the Monkey King mask, Li Che's eyes glanced faintly at Huangtu.

He tilted his head.

«Your Buddhist circle… how many karmic people are there in this city? »

The Monkey King's voice carried a touch of frivolity, a dash of soaring abandon.

Upon hearing the Monkey King's question.

Huangtu's eyes shone bright, looking with pleasant surprise at the Monkey King.

Could this Monkey King have been moved?

Or is he being influenced by the divinity of the Two‑Heart Great Sage, gradually leaning toward Buddhism?

If he could be converted and also obtain the As‑You‑Wish Golden Iron Divine Staff…

…then Huangtu's mission on this trip would be perfectly and extraordinarily fulfilled.

«Namu Amida Buddha…»

«Monk, your question, I really do have a few karmic people…»

«For example, Li Che, the Half‑Sage Golden‑Condor, and Li Che's daughter, Li Nuanxi, patron…»

Huangtu smiled with kind eyes.

The Monkey King slowly raised his chin; in his eyes, golden light blazed like flames.

Beneath the damaged mask, the upturned corner of his mouth grew wider and wider.

Dare to…

…set your sights on my Li Che's daughter?!

Li Che never imagined…

…that Xixi had become Lü Taibai's disciple, and this bald donkey still dares to eye his daughter!

However, when one thinks of the forces behind this Huang Tuo, it's not surprising after all.

The Little Lingyin Temple lies on the Western Ling Path, in that self‑made Buddhist realm.

Among Dàjǐng's Eleventh Dao Divine Sect, it ranks within the top three, even ahead of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect's ranking.

Its overall strength indeed far surpasses the Qian Yuan Divine Sect.

Although the Qian Yuan Divine Sect has Lu Taibai, the Little Lingyin Temple also has top‑tier pinnacle‑level Grand Masters, and more than one!

The Little Lingyin Temple occupies the Western Ling Path, bordering the Western Region Buddhist Land; its overall strength… is almost a mystery.

Even the Qin Tian Observatory and Temple Guard Office set up by the Dàjǐng court have long been infiltrated; rumors say the path masters of the Western Ling Path have become followers of the Little Lingyin Temple's Grand Masters!

So, is this the confidence you, Huang Tuo, have in targeting Li Che's daughter?

Being stared at by the Divine Monkey's wildly reckless, almost mocking gaze made Huang Tuo feel a bit uncomfortable, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Divine Monkey benefactor…"

However, Huang Tuo had not finished speaking.

Divine Monkey whooshed.

The divine staff that had been resting on his shoulder was suddenly seized with one hand, flung hard, and the treasure staff's tip pointed straight at Huang Tuo.

The rain curtain between heaven and earth seemed to split in an instant!

"Tu Lu, you and the Underworld… also share a fate."

Huang Tuo's brows furrowed, and his bright red kasaya suddenly surged wildly.

"Divine Monkey benefactor…"

Yet.

His words just fell.

His complexion changed horrifically.

He abruptly turned his head toward the direction of a distant carriage; there, Lu Taibai sat upright in the carriage, the curtains billowing as sword qi raged.

Silver hair fluttered wildly.

Lu Taibai looked at Huang Tuo with indifference.

"My disciple Lu Taibai has a fate with your Buddha?"

"You really dare say that…"

"Even if your master Huang Mei came, he wouldn't dare speak like this; yet you still say it?"

"You are… truly brave."

His words ended.

Lu Taibai raised his hand.

At once a flash of silver burst from his sleeve, shooting out wildly.

Puff—!

Huang Tuo hadn't even reacted.

A cloud of blood mist exploded behind him, and his whole body was hurled out of the lavish Buddhist palanquin, landing in the snow and carving a massive deep pit in the snow.

However, within the deep pit…

Huang Tuo was on the brink of death.

In his hand trembled a divine eagle, carved from lower‑rank spirit wood of the Four Emperors!

The carved divine eagle depicted a monk with narrow, soaring eyebrows and a smiling face.

A vast Buddha light radiated from the divine eagle, swirling around Huang Tuo to form a huge golden bell robe.

"Huang Mei."

Lu Taibai said lightly.

Huang Tuo coughed up mouthfuls of fresh blood, his eyes filled with horror.

Too strong…

Is this the double‑pinnacle master listed in the Great Deities Register and the Heavenly Gate Pass?

Although those who have stepped on the Four Open Martial Saints and the Four Divine Transformations Divine Embryo can be called pinnacles, those ordinary pinnacles are terrifyingly far from top‑tier double‑pinnacles like Lu Taibai.

"Taibai benefactor, I am at fault, this humble monk confesses to you, Taibai benefactor."

The divine eagle, as if coming to life, raised its long eyebrows, pressed its palms together, and bowed.

"Xixi, enter the carriage."

Lu Taibai sneered.

"Here I come, Sect Leader Master!" Xixi hurried into the carriage compartment, and Jin Taishui followed.

"Many… many thanks, Sect Leader Taibai, for sparing my life…"

Huang Tuo wiped the blood from his lip corner.

His heart still trembled.

He had not intended to extract the Grand Master's divine eagle so quickly; it is a holy‑hand divine eagle!

But there was no other way…

Lu Taibai, this Taibai Killing Star, is too ruthless!

He would actually kill him over a single sentence.

If that sword had not been blocked by the Grand Master's divine eagle, he would already be dead.

"Hehe…"

Lu Taibai only gave a faint smile.

His smile made Huang Tuo shiver.

And in the distance.

"Ho ho ho—"

The divine monkey, one‑handed on the Heart‑following Golden‑Iron Divine Rod, continued Lü Taibai's laughter.

"Do you know... besides being the Taibai Sect Leader's direct disciple, Master Li Nuanxi has another identity?"

"Qianyuan Daocheng... many people call Li Nuanxi the Daughter of the Underworld."

"You fear the Taibai Sect Leader, but not me... the Underworld King?"

The divine monkey lifted the Treasure Staff again, its gilded eyes beneath the mask gazing faintly at Huang Tuo.

"Brave one, you're wounded,"

His words ended.

The divine monkey instantly threw his head back and laughed loudly.

The laughter rang beyond the slowly collapsing Guiyi Miao.

"Not good! He's about to leave!"

The many strong onlookers from various factions narrowed their eyes slightly.

Xuanfu Divine Sect's Xuan Yin clutched a handful of talismans in his hand, but had not yet scattered them...

Then he saw the divine monkey lightly tap his toe.

In an instant, the snow ground exploded.

A mass of crimson glow rose beneath his feet.

Like...

A somersault!

With a flip, he vanished from the air under everyone's watchful eyes!

Along with that Heart‑following Golden‑Iron Divine Rod...

also disappeared!

At that moment.

In the deep pit, Huang Tuo, coughing up blood, held aloft the Holy Hand Divine Eagle, his long eyebrows drifting, staring at the divine monkey as if tracking the direction where the somersaulting figure vanished.

"Qitian..."

"Qitian?!"

Qianyuan Daocheng.

Leixiang.

Independent Workshop Courtyard.

Above the firmament, thunder had not yet faded, electric serpents slithered through leaden clouds, wind and lightning roiled, and a torrential downpour fell.

It was a celestial shift that shrouded the entire Divine Eagle Ridge, even enveloping Qianyuan Daocheng.

It seemed to be an anomaly caused by the collapse of the Two‑Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao.

In the silent courtyard.

The rain evaporated in an instant, leaving it dry.

Then, a red cloud burst forth in a flash, scorching and rolling, with waves of heat surging.

Li Che, wearing the divine monkey mask, his black shirt fluttering, returned to the courtyard.

He sat cross‑legged on the now‑dry blue‑stone floor of the courtyard.

Without removing the Qitian mask, Li Che lifted his hand and tapped his forehead...

In an instant, the celestial chessboard spiraled upward into the courtyard's sky, instantly enveloping it, obscuring the qi, and cutting off heavenly signals.

"Hu—"

"Xi—"

Between a breath in and out, a violent torrent of wind and qi erupted and intertwined within the courtyard.

But soon, everything calmed.

The wind stilled, and Li Che's thoughts, with each breath, returned to tranquility.

Sitting cross‑legged in the courtyard, not a drop of rain touched him.

Yet in the distance the rain curtain stretched on, falling on black tiles; the sound of rain striking the courtyard was pleasant, like a babbling stream, washing away inner restlessness.

His forehead mud‑ball was swollen, yet Li Che did not perceive it.

Originally, due to his abundant primordial spirit foundation, employing the Faatian Xiangdi, Sword Immortal Pure Yang, and the three divine systems of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, he condensed a Shen Yuan Golden Core, broke through to Shen Yuan, and directly surged into the Primordial Soul Metamorphosis realm.

This time, the Faatian Xiangdi Golden Core devoured a massive amount of temple deity divinity, propelling the Faatian Xiangdi Lingming Zhenyuan Golden Core straight to the Fetal Breath Metamorphosis stage!

However, the Fetal Breath Metamorphosis is also a transitional stage.

During this process, Li Che could slightly mobilize the divine power of the Faatian Xiangdi Lingming Zhenyuan...

Which gave a considerable boost to his combat strength.

But this was not the greatest gain from this Two‑Heart Great Sage Guiyi Miao expedition.

"Guiyi Miao has collapsed..."

"So, when Guiyi Miao collapses, the relocation of the Flying Thunder Chess Piece is restricted..."

When Li Che first obtained the Treasure Staff and sensed Guiyi Miao's collapse, he actually intended to relocate immediately.

But when Guiyi Miao collapsed...

It only triggered a strong warning feedback in Li Che's mind.

Because, when the Guiyi Miao collapsed into the Strange Palace…

Li Che felt an extremely terrifying, fountain‑like divine power of very high rank continuously pouring out, so suppressed that Li Che's entire divinity could not be used!

Even the Flying Thunder Translocation suffered great restriction, as if… bound all over the body by chains formed from strands of condensed divinity.

The difficulty was such that it seemed like having to return to the small courtyard from the netherworld via Flying Thunder Translocation.

The speed of the summons was extremely slow!

It took about twenty breaths of guiding time; during such a long period, Li Che simply gave up the summoned translocation.

He chose to walk out of the Strange Palace on foot.

As for that omen…

It was the manifestation of the divine power that burst forth when the Great Saint of Dual Hearts' Guiyi Miao collapsed.

It seemed to be…

Proclaiming to the world, letting all understand, the Gold‑Iron Divine Staff of the Heart's Will…

is born today!

This is not a privilege that even a Five Elders Divine Weapon could possess.

Yet this staff is clearly not an ordinary Five Elders Divine Weapon; it is one of the treasure souls of the Heaven‑Equal Mixed‑Primordial Ruyi Golden Cudgel…

Such a front can be understood.

Li Che even felt…

The Great Saint of Dual Hearts' anticipation and excitement of proclaiming to the world.

"No…"

Li Che's brows under his Qi Tian mask twitched slightly.

"It seems not to be a proclamation to the world…"

"But… the Guiyi Miao that proclaims to the world…"

"All gods!"

……

……

Above Plum Mountain.

The wind and snow howled.

Winter plums bloomed abundantly, decorating the whole mountain.

In front of the Guiyi Miao, a wondrous Dao, entirely blanketed in white snow, belonging to the Three‑Eyed True Lord of Manifested Sanctity.

A figure clad in white sat calmly on the threshold of the Guiyi Miao.

The silhouette extended a hand, and a plum blossom petal fell onto his cold palm; the vertical pupil in his brow flickered, and after a long while, a faint smile seemed to appear.

He tossed the plum petal back to the ground, stood up, and turned back into the temple.

The petal, however, seemed to turn into an extremely sharp blade, slicing through the accumulated snow on the ground.

"My blade can no longer endure."

……

……

Golden Light Mansion.

Nine‑Dragon River.

On the Nine‑Dragon River that seemed never to freeze.

A temple, amidst the raging, rolling river, appeared so solitary, as if it could be washed away at any moment.

Boom—

Suddenly.

The river burst open.

A child‑like figure, stepping on a pitch‑black lotus, emerged from the riverbed and plopped onto the white‑jade steps of the Guiyi Miao.

With bare hands he tore, and blood gushed, staining the white‑jade steps crimson, then the blood was absorbed by the steps.

In the child's hand, he was pulling an extremely slender dragon corpse.

"Hehe…"

"Hurry… hurry… can't wait."

With all five fingers clenched, he tore a still‑warm piece of dragon flesh, placed it on the Prison Lotus to grill, turning it into fragrant dragon meat, which the child devoured in one bite.

Spit!

He also spat out a dragon bone stripped clean of meat.

……

……

In Listening Thunder Alley, deep within the lane.

The amber light dimly illuminated.

Under the restaurant's eaves.

The proprietor, dressed in white, sat upright on a chair, crossing his legs, took out a rolling paper, twisted a few strands of tobacco leaf, rolled a cigarette, lit it, and took a satisfying drag.

He then exhaled rings of swirling, expanding smoke.

"The tide is rising."

……

……

Inside the independent workshop courtyard.

Li Che slowly exhaled a breath.

His pupils flickered.

Announcing to the world the Guiyi Miao……

There's something.

However, this is not what Li Che should be thinking now.

He closed his eyes.

Gathering the second piece of the Equal Heaven Face, a torrent of information surged forth.

Just as when he first obtained the Martial Saint's supreme art, the《Primordial Chaos Equal-Heaven Staff》.

Although the Primordial Chaos Equal-Heaven Staff did not become a Divine-Seed Martial Art, for Li Che it helped him perfect his mastery of the staff technique and granted him an extremely powerful killing move.

And now……

The information transmitted by the Equal Heaven Face is likewise a martial art.

Divine-Seed Martial Art?

No……

It seems to be a purely…… Spirit Transformation True Martial!

There are no minor accomplishment, major accomplishment, or master realm……

One practice leads directly to Spirit Transformation True Martial!

Li Che's pupils flickered, in his chest.

The Dao Fruit【Dragon-Elephant Vajra】, after completing the reception of this martial art, actually began to violently tremble.

Before him, golden light flowed.

The information flowing out from within the Equal Heaven Face.

Instantly coalesced into the name of a martial art.

Spirit Transformation True Martial【Shatter South Heaven】

One staff.

Shatter South Heaven!
