Chapter 578: Carving the Monkey

Boom—!

The blast roared on without cease!

Countless sacred‑wood shavings surged upward, like a great avalanche exploding, dust billowed and shattered in all directions!

Ba She's smile at the corner of his lips froze completely; each wildly flailing arm seemed poured with cement, utterly rigid in place!

Failed!

The weapon rack he had carved, imbued with the Qi Tian Temple deity, exploded outright, being violently crushed by the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!

This blow to Ba She was inexplicably strong.

It clearly seemed he was about to succeed, firmly catching the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, but accompanied by a booming ape howl, his Divine Eagle could not bear the force and exploded outright!

Ba She's towering body seemed on the verge of collapse.

"Impossible!"

The Divine Eagle Immortal Ba She's face turned pale, his throat emitting a low growl, filled with disbelief and anger!

Even Ba She failed…

This Divine Eagle Immortal from the Cursed Demon Cave, having survived the fierce competition among Divine Eagle Immortals there and representing his faction at this banquet, proves Ba She's skill is formidable.

Yet however great his skill, when it involves Yu Lian Qi Tian, a peak being comparable to the undying heavens…

Ba She still tasted the bitterness of failure.

In the private room.

Golden Crane King pinched a golden goblet, sipping, and shook his head slightly: "Too careless, how could it be that easy?"

"The mischievous monkey Qi Tian has a volatile temperament; his divine weapon is naturally hard to handle."

"This Ba She is still too young; his Divine Eagle skill is fine, but his understanding of the Qi Tian Monkey is insufficient."

Golden Crane King's words echoed in the private room, making Fu Shaoxi of the Cursed Demon Cave's complexion turn very sour.

One could say Golden Crane King's words slapped his face hard.

Fu Shaoxi also knows the Divine Eagle art, but beyond that he has not delved deeply.

Shi Shaojia Shaodi himself is a formidable Divine Eagle Immortal; he pressed his palms together, his eyes slightly narrowing.

"The Ruyi Golden Cudgel went berserk; Ba She thought it had stabilized, but who knew, this Ruyi Golden Cudgel seemed to possess sentience, delivering a fatal strike when Ba She relaxed."

"But… how could the Ruyi Golden Cudgel be so treacherous?"

Shi Shaojia's confusion lies here.

Golden Crane King smiled lightly: "So… we set up this banquet to let many Divine Eagle Immortals work together, carving a weapon rack to soothe the weapon's temperament…"

That is the purpose of Golden Crane King's banquet; otherwise, why summon so many and offer such a high bounty?

It is merely to have the Divine Eagle Immortals carve and simulate the Qi Tian Monkey's divine rhythm.

Unfortunately, such a request is not easy to fulfill.

Golden Crane King exhaled, and a massive sword qi surged again, raging outward.

He re‑restrained the Ruyi Golden Cudgel that had shattered Ba She's Divine Eagle!

The suppressive power of a Nirvana Heavenly King indeed makes the Ruyi Golden Cudgel hard to break free.

Although he cannot refine the divine weapon, the strength of a Nirvana Heavenly King needs no doubt.

And in the arena, with Ba She's failure, the scene grew increasingly intense.

Originally, under the ape howl, the many Divine Eagle Immortals whose statues exploded breathed a sigh of relief.

Since even Ba She is like that, they need not be too disheartened.

Jin Mi Luo also quickly finished his carving: a colossal statue, towering, hollow inside, depicting the Qi Tian Temple deity.

Jin Mi Luo's carving was simple: perfectly replicating the moment Qi Tian broke open the alchemy furnace.

Buzz—!!!

Jin Mi Luo's steps landed, and he appeared atop his own colossal Divine Eagle.

He hollowed out the center of the wood directly; the carved scene seemed to tremble slightly, gradually coming to life, and under countless divine impacts, the image appeared revived.

"Golden Crane Heavenly King!"

"Allow this humble monk to try."

Jin Mi Luo spread his arms wide and let out a long howl!

Boom—!

On the colossal sacred tree, countless wood shavings cascaded down like a sand waterfall.

All Divine Eagle Immortals watching this moment involuntarily felt a trance‑like sensation.

Golden Crane King snapped his fingers.

Sword qi buzzed and shattered, and the previously restrained Ruyi Golden Cudgel vibrated again.

It whistled, blasting toward Jin Mi Luo's Divine Eagle.

A hole in the center of the Divine Eagle was left for the Ruyi Golden Cudgel to be drawn in.

The Ruyi Golden Cudgel, like a leaf, drifted into the Divine Eagle, landing in the hand of the Qi Tian Divine Eagle statue carved inside.

Hoo‑hoo‑hoo—

For a moment, the atmosphere instantly calmed.

But a muffled sound rolled up from the ground.

Many eyes scanned and saw Jin Mi Luo's carved Divine Eagle trembling incessantly, the tremor rippling across the ground!

Jin Mi Luo's face hardened; a powerful divine spirit surged, his Sword Cutting Realm cultivation revealed, stimulating the Divine Eagle's divinity, coiling like a python, completely enveloping the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

Jin Mi Luo chose an embedded retrieval of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, as if carving a sheath for it.

In the private room.

Li Che's carving knife paused briefly in his hand, lifted his head, and swept toward the scene in the hall.

I have to admit, this Jin Mi Luo is truly imaginative, choosing this method as a weapon mount.

But…

The result is the same.

The carved Qi Tian is vivid, and whether the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff erupts or not hinges on a single thought of Li Che; this is the qualification of being the master of a divine weapon.

However, in reality, Li Che did not exert much force; a Ba Snake's Divine Roc cannot itself soothe the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff.

In the end it would still be smashed by the Golden Hoop Staff; Li Che merely triggered that possibility early.

And this time, Jin Mi Luo seems to show a hint of success.

Jin Mi Luo's understanding of the Qi Tian Demon Monkey's habits and temperament is far stronger than that of the Ba Snake.

Li Che couldn't help but think of Hei Su Mi's immortal Golden Cicada!

That Golden Cicada with eyes patterned with cicada motifs also represents Hei Su Mi, yet it wields power to affect the situation.

"Some substance, but not much."

Li Che's carving knife flicked, tearing with a sound, cutting a slit into the wood carving, continuing to reshape the divine weapon, carving the divine wood, forming a perfectly precise mortise‑and‑tenon structure.

In the pause of carving, Li Che swept over Jin Mi Luo's massive Buddha‑like altar sculpture.

Just a glance, as if it captured Li Che's spiritual thought.

The feedback arrived instantly.

The moment Jin Mi Luo relaxed, the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff began to sway and vibrate left and right.

Bzzzz—

The massive wood carving trembled, cracks appearing on it, spreading instantly like a spiderweb.

The Golden Hoop Staff instantly began to expand, one becoming two, two becoming three, three turning into hundreds and thousands!

A dense swarm of Ruyi Golden Hoop Staffs instantly forced that Buddha‑like Divine Roc to burst and explode!

Jin Mi Luo stood beneath the Divine Roc, palms pressed together, letting out a light sigh as countless fragments fell like a waterfall.

"Failed…"

Jin Mi Luo sighed, shook his head slightly, bathed in the waterfall of shattered divine‑wood fragments, full of regret.

Hei Su Mi's Divine Roc Immortal Hand also failed…

Now, the entire Drunken Bagua Treasure Pavilion fell into a death‑like silence.

Could it be…

This banquet might truly result in a situation where no one can succeed?

The Golden Crane King also sighed and drank the wine in his cup.

This generation's Divine Roc Immortal Hands… aren't very capable!

Shi Shaojia furrowed his brows.

It shouldn't be…

Hei Su Mi and the Qi Tian actually share some origins, and Jin Mi Luo is even more closely linked to that immortal…

Logically, Jin Mi Luo could be said to be the person among the present Divine Roc Immortal Hands who understands the Qi Tian Demon Monkey most deeply.

Yet it still failed…

"Seems a bit odd…"

Shi Shaojia said.

Fu Shaoxi sneered, "What? My Ba Snake Immortal Hand's failure in the Strange Demon Cave is normal, but Jin Mi Luo's failure is considered odd?"

Shi Shaojia gave Fu Shaoxi, whose temper was a bit rash, a glance, too lazy to argue.

Fu Shaoxi's temper is just like that, the typical foul temper of the demon race; if one truly confronts him, they'd be nagged endlessly.

Ji Shaohao let out a sigh of relief, his whole body relaxing.

And with Xuan Yuan Hao and the Dongyang Immortal Hand's failures in the hall, the two Divine Roc Immortal Hands from Er Sheng Ancient Village also failed to soothe the Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff.

This banquet seemed to have entered an awkward and strange situation.

The Golden Crane King swayed his golden goblet.

"It's actually normal; before the banquet, I had foreseen such a scene, perhaps everyone would fail."

"If we can't get a weapon rack, then forget it."

The Golden Crane King shook his head, unconcerned; at worst, he'll suppress it again into the void turbulence.

When the Qi Tian Demon Monkey is refined by the immortal Old Lord into a Qi Tian Divine Pill, this Ruyi Golden Hoop Staff…

Naturally it can be slowly ground by him into a shape that belongs to him!

"All failed…"

Ji Shaohao couldn't help but let a smile tug at his lips.

Everyone failed, and when the Cang Che Immortal Hand also fails… then nothing would be strange.

At this moment, Ji Shaohao even wondered whether Li Che had already thought he couldn't succeed.

So he secretly secured a batch of resources.

In the end, Li Che didn't lose; he freeloaded five precious divine woods!

Such level of divine wood is an extremely precious resource!

"Brother Shaohao, the Divine Roc Immortal Hand from your Dark Heavenly Court… has also finished carving."

"He actually used the mortise‑and‑tenon structure!"

Fu Shaoxi squinted, exclaiming in amazement.

Shi Shaojia pressed his palms together; his expression was not pleasant, still pondering the recent failure of Jin Mi Luo.

And as Fu Shaoxi's voice sounded, Shi Shaojia couldn't help but look over.

This glance instantly left him slightly stunned.

Because he saw a palm!

This Divine Eagle Immortal Hand of the Dark Heavenly Court… actually carved a palm!

It is made of five kinds of sacred wood, each piece carved into a finger extending to the palm, and from the palm onward assembled with mortise‑and‑tenon joints.

The palm appears in a clenched shape…

"This has nothing to do with the Heaven‑Equal Demon Monkey… at all,"

"What is this doing?"

In the treasure hall.

Many Divine Eagle Immortal Hands also took notice of Li Che.

Or rather, now only Li Che is still carving, so almost everyone's gaze fell on him.

Seeing what Li Che had carved, everyone was dumbfounded.

Ba She, Jin Miro, Xuan Yuanhao, Dongyang and other Divine Eagle Immortal Hands each showed a strange look in their eyes.

He really is… a strange fellow.

"That's not right!"

Suddenly, Jin Miro seemed to sense something, and his expression turned astonished!

…

…

Li Che, of course, paid no mind to the crowd's stares.

He had already finished the carving, using all five sacred woods, each employed.

And Li Che did not carve a Heaven‑Equal Divine Eagle.

As the current master of the Wish‑Granting Golden Cudgel, he naturally had no need to carve the Heaven‑Equal one.

Nevertheless, Li Che chose another method.

The fist‑shaped Divine Eagle, built with mortise‑and‑tenon structure, is a mortise technique from Li Che's cultivation manual "Heavenly Craft Nine Mortise Classic."

Combined together, the five sacred woods seemed to grow as one, with no incompatibility or resistance.

The divinity of each communicated with the others.

"Golden Crane Heavenly King."

Li Che walked to the railing and slightly cupped his fist toward the private box where the Golden Crane Heavenly King sat.

The Golden Crane Heavenly King squinted, flicked a finger, and released the sword‑qi binding that restrained the Wish‑Granting Golden Cudgel.

Immediately, the Wish‑Granting Golden Cudgel began to vibrate.

With a hum, it burst out.

And Li Che clenched his five fingers, grasped a weapon rack, and hurled it out forcefully.

The fist‑shaped weapon rack whooshed upward, and the Wish‑Granting Golden Cudgel lodged right into that clenched‑fist rack.

"Buzzz—"

The cudgel's oscillation was extremely violent, spawning countless phantoms, and the void seemed about to crack from the tremors.

Many who saw this could not help shaking their heads; it was clear Li Che was likely to fail.

This Wish‑Granting Golden Cudgel was too unruly to be tamed.

This Dark Heavenly Court's Cang Che Immortal Hand, not even carving a Heaven‑Equal Divine Eagle, how could he tame the cudgel?

A fool's dream!

Carving a fist‑shaped weapon rack and actually gripping that divine staff?!

Click—

Suddenly, someone heard a cracking sound and saw a crack appear on a carved wooden finger.

The crack expanded, then with a bang it exploded, the splintered wood drifting like mist.

Yet, to everyone's surprise, the weapon rack Li Che had carved did not shatter completely.

The exploded finger shed wood chips, revealing an inner cosmos!

It was densely filled with tiny carved monkeys!

Each little monkey rose in a guard formation, defending the Wish‑Granting Golden Cudgel!

The cudgel's trembling rhythm seemed to slow a few beats.

Bang—

The second finger exploded, replicating the same scene; countless wood chips fluttered, revealing densely carved monkey descendants!

The third, fourth, and fifth!

The five fingers, each formed from different sacred woods, exploded, each yielding a different species of spirit monkey.

Inside the private box.

The Golden Crane King rose abruptly!

Shi Shaojia's pupils dilated, his gaze fixed.

"What?!"

"This works too?!"

Shi Shaojia felt a shock in his heart, took several steps, his mind in utter astonishment.

Fu Shaoxi and Ji Shaohao were both utterly bewildered.

Among them, Ji Shaohao was the most so.

"Eh… it seems… it's about to happen?"

"The Dark Heavenly Court's Divine Roc is about to flare up?!"

Ji Shaohao suddenly felt like laughing!

Didn't expect… it actually succeeded in having Cangche Immortal Hand install it!

Not only did he freeload five kinds of divine trees, but also gave him a proud, triumphant moment!

"So that's it… now the Great Sky is suppressed, its resentment intertwines, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel gets infected, even the Great Sky Divine Roc may not accept the Ruyi Golden Cudgel…"

"But carving the Monkey Sun Wukong into the stack… seems to directly touch the inner softness, making the otherwise rigid Ruyi Golden Cudgel soften."

"Great technique! Great thought!"

Golden Crane King burst into laughter, his eyes shining brightly!

What an unexpected turn.

Didn't expect, it actually succeeded!

Golden Crane King looked at Li Che, this Divine Roc Immortal Hand; he hadn't paid much attention to him before.

Now it seems, being able to solve his banquet problem, this time's Eighty‑one Formation Immortal Hand will surely have a place for this person.

In the Treasure Pavilion.

Everyone waited for a long time.

But the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in the Five‑Finger Weapon Rack lay peacefully, with no further movement.

That means among the many Divine Roc Immortal Hands present…

Only this Cangche Immortal Hand succeeded!

"So it was the Dark Heavenly Court's Divine Roc Immortal Hand that succeeded…"

"Never would have thought, the Dark Heavenly Court could produce such a talented Divine Roc Immortal Hand."

"Using the Monkey Sun Wukong to stack the weapon rack, as if letting the Great Sky's will within the Ruyi Golden Cudgel return to its hometown…"

"Impressive! Ingenious! And it succeeded!"

……

Words of praise rose and fell.

Jin Mi Luo clasped both palms together, praising endlessly, his heart sincere and admiring.

Ba She let out a cold snort, arms crossed, showing some dissent.

"Just a shortcut; in terms of skill, this person is inferior to me."

Dong—

Accompanied by billowing smoke and dust rising.

The Ruyi Golden Cudgel quietly settled back into the weapon rack.

A figure flashed into existence; it was none other than Golden Crane King.

He squinted, hands clasped behind his back, carefully examining the now‑still Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

The Ruyi Golden Cudgel, needing no sword‑qi suppression, made Golden Crane King's mind stir; it truly was exquisite.

Fu Shaoxi's gaze in the private box burned intensely; his destined proof‑of‑path divine weapon had been taken by the Earth Store King, and if he could claim this Ruyi Golden Cudgel as his proof‑of‑path weapon…

Unfortunately, Fu Shaoxi shook his head, cutting off that thought.

Because Golden Crane King also needs this divine weapon; how could he compete with Nirvana Heavenly King?

"Hahaha! Good!"

"Not bad!"

Golden Crane King carefully sensed the overwhelmingly powerful will of Nirvana Heavenly King surge, sweeping over the Five‑Finger Weapon Rack; after perceiving no issues with the rack…

He finally laughed heartily.

"This Second Saint Lower‑tier Divine Essence Crystal belongs to Cangche Immortal Hand!"

Wang—

An immense divine essence burst forth like a torrent in an instant.

The Divine Essence Crystal thrown by Golden Crane King shone as brilliantly as a blazing sun.

Li Che hurriedly took the crystal, unable to put it down, his face brimming with delighted smile.

This is… a Second Saint Lower‑tier Divine Essence Crystal!

One of the most top‑tier Divine Essence Crystals, extremely precious!

Li Che naturally treasured it tightly.

He wondered whether this Second Saint Lower‑tier Divine Essence Crystal could push Xixi's cultivation into the Divine Realm.

No doubt, Li Che felt quite hopeful inside.

However, he didn't hand the crystal to Xixi on the spot; instead, he kept it with a delighted grin.

Countless heated, jealous gazes fell on Li Che, but he paid them no mind.

"Cangche Immortal Hand, come to my private box, let's chat!"

Golden Crane King lifted the weapon rack, raising the Ruyi Golden Cudgel as well, smiling as he greeted Li Che.

Li Che didn't refuse, followed Golden Crane King into the private box.

In the private box, gazes were cast.

"Hahaha! Cangche Immortal Hand, truly the most gifted Divine Roc Immortal Hand of my Dark Heavenly Court, you haven't disappointed this Young Emperor!"

Ji Shaohao, seeing Li Che, instantly became enthusiastic, his smile blooming.

Fu Shaoxi let out a cold snort, and Shi Shaojia's expression also turned sour.

Li Che was quite modest; in the private box, he simply found a seat, quietly savoring the delicacies, and even secretly packed a portion.

The king's private suite was truly different that day; many of the delicacies even used the extremely precious elixirs from last year.

Li Che, while feasting heartily, also packed a portion for Xixi.

Not to mention, even Li Che, whose flesh body had attained the Mortal Saint Body, was still flushed by the elixir energy in these dishes and gained a slight boost.

King Jin He achieved the purpose of this banquet, was in high spirits, and was extremely pleased with Li Che.

In addition to the Second Saint lower‑rank Divine Crystals, he also gave Li Che three upper‑rank Divine Crystals of the Three Purities.

"If you can help me solve this problem, allowing me to properly assess the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in its gentle state, it would greatly aid my immortal path…"

"This reward is nothing at all!"

King Jin He burst into laughter.

He admired it for a while, unable to let go, then King Jin He unleashed sword qi, tearing open the void and seized the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and the weapon rack.

The banquet gradually drew to a close; after the clinking of cups, everyone took their leave from King Jin He.

Ji Shaohao led Li Che and Xixi back to the small courtyard.

The smile on Ji Shaohao's face never faded; today he was truly elated.

Fu Shaoxi and Shi Shaojia could not refute him at all, and could only be trampled under his feet.

Especially Shi Shaojia, that proud monk, who considered his Divine Eagle technique supreme, utterly despised the Divine Eagle of the Dark Heavenly Court.

And now, it was a thorough lesson for Shi Shaojia!

"Cang Che Immortal Hand, thanks to you!"

"I didn't expect you to exceed the commission of this Young Emperor!"

"This Eight‑leaf Dao‑Essence Divine Crystal… is yours!"

Ji Shaohao kept his word, took out the Eight‑leaf Dao‑Essence Divine Crystal, and handed it directly to Li Che.

"You really hit the jackpot this time, obtaining a Second Saint lower‑rank Divine Crystal from King Jin He; just this one Divine Crystal can raise Canglan Ancient Village from the middle rank of the Four Sovereigns to the middle rank of the Three Purities!"

Ji Shaohao said.

Li Che took the dispersed Eight‑leaf Dao‑Essence Divine Crystal, seeing its eight leaf fragments rotating and blooming, dreamlike and illusory.

The value of the Eight‑leaf Dao‑Essence Divine Crystal is in no way inferior to that of a Second Saint lower‑rank Divine Crystal.

Li Che indeed made a great gain, but he earned it through his own skill.

Ji Shaohao encouraged Li Che with a few words, looking forward to his performance at the Thus: Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly, and then left the room.

Xixi blinked her big eyes, staring eagerly at Li Che.

There was no need for Xixi to act coquettishly; Li Che directly handed the Second Saint lower‑rank Divine Crystal to Xixi.

But Xixi's desire for Dao‑Essence Divine Crystals was not strong, because her Dao‑Essence was actually the Prison Lotus Curse.

The Prison Lotus Curse… is in fact a top‑grade Dao‑Essence Divine Crystal.

By comprehending the Prison Lotus Curse and digesting its dispersed cursed power, that sufficed.

So Li Che, without hesitation, directly gave this exceedingly precious Eight‑leaf Dao‑Essence Divine Crystal…

…to Lao Huang!

Lao Huang's meatball swallowed the Eight‑leaf Dao‑Essence Divine Crystal, and the energy inside grew increasingly terrifying.

Li Che could not bear to look directly.

Xixi, having received the Second Saint lower‑rank Divine Crystal, immediately went into seclusion to cultivate.

Li Che sat upright in the room.

His eyes flickered, and he exhaled slowly.

This banquet, for Li Che, truly was a great harvest.

Besides the delicious delicacies infused with elixir energy, there were also Second Saint Divine Crystals and Eight‑leaf Dao‑Essence Divine Crystals…

But those were not the main point!

The main point is…

King Jin He let him encounter the Ruyi Golden Cudgel!

It is his own Ruyi Golden Cudgel!

Raising his head, Li Che's eyes burst with an ultimate radiant glow, almost illuminating the entire room.

Within his body, Qi and blood surged, his powerful flesh-body strength began to digest the elixir energy swallowed during this banquet!

Boom—

The Qi and blood, like waves, pounded his sinews, his skin membrane quivered, reverberating into the air, and the void trembled as if about to split!

Li Che's flesh body is truly too powerful!

Li Che is refining the energy while also adjusting his own condition.

His gaze burned fiercely, with a fierce hue rolling and surging!

"Weapon rack…"

"Actually, it's a good opportunity to get in touch with the Ruyi Golden Cudgel."

Li Che, during the banquet, pondered for a long time how to retrieve this divine weapon from a Nirvana Heavenly King.

But regardless of the plan, it cannot bypass King Jin He.

The carved weapon rack, offering a chance to touch the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, gave Li Che a simple and brute-force solution!

"Since we can't go around it… then we'll go straight at it!"

"As long as I seize the cudgel fast enough… the Nirvana Heavenly King won't even have time to react!"

Li Che's eyes sharpened.

He raised his hand and tapped his forehead.

At once, a celestial chessboard unfolded, enveloping the entire courtyard.

Li Che settled into the room, breathing in and out, adjusting his condition to its optimum.

Time passed bit by bit.

Unconsciously, three days passed since that banquet.

And Li Che fully assimilated the treasure pill's power within the delicacy.

His mind and spirit twitched slightly.

The Flying Thunder Chess Piece hidden in the weapon rack instantly manifested its true form.

After the Golden Crane King obtained the weapon rack, he took the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and did not exile it back into the void turbulence.

Instead, he displayed it in his own palace.

The Golden Crane King sat cross‑legged opposite the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, constantly watching it, using the Heavenly King's will to cleanse the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

Under such close surveillance, there is essentially no chance for anyone to take the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

But it is not entirely so.

The reason Li Che delayed three days before beginning to act was to observe the Golden Crane King's habits.

He wanted to find the best opportunity to seize back the Ruyi Golden Cudgel.

And he must not jeopardize his chance to attend the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly.

According to his observations, the Golden Crane King must each day rush to the depths of Dou Tian Palace City, as if to visit the immortal Old Lord and arrange matters for the Divine Craft Immortal Hand Assembly.

Only then does the Golden Crane King exile the Ruyi Golden Cudgel into the void turbulence.

Buzz—

Through the Flying Thunder Chess Piece, Li Che sensed the Golden Crane King leaving his own sleeping palace.

He exiled the Ruyi Golden Cudgel together with the weapon rack into the void.

Li Che suddenly opened his eyes.

He took out a White Jade Compassion Mask and placed it over his face.

His eyes blossomed like a vast sun!

"Now is the moment…"

Li Che spread his five fingers like a ladle, then slowly clenched them.

At the instant he fully clenched, a white chess piece surfaced in Li Che's palm.

His entire body instantly shifted to the location of the chess piece!
