Chapter 1751: Chapter 456: Divine Monkey Makes a Shining Entrance at Qitian Temple, Temple God Resonance—Three Knocks on the Monkey’s Head
A figure donned in a golden-furred Divine Monkey mask emerged through the enigmatic mist, revealing itself to all onlookers.
The crowd froze in astonishment, yet soon expressions of comprehension and anticipation dawned on their features.
Envoys from the Underworld...
Not the Bull Demon King, nor King Yan, and certainly not the Ghost Emperor.
It was the Divine Monkey!
Yes... truly the Divine Monkey!
The very Divine Monkey who claimed the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod!
Still, given the Divine Monkey's power...
Could it truly challenge the Divine Tribulation masters gathered here?!
Under the weight of numerous stares.
The Divine Monkey advanced steadily, composed and bold, stepping into the limelight.
…
…
The subdued amber glow illuminated the space.
Within the eatery.
Xi Xi perched on her seat, clutching a hot, steaming meat bun, munching away vigorously with oil smeared across her lips and her cheeks bulging.
“Father must be joining this Temple God Resonance as well, isn't he?”
Xi Xi's eyes sparkled as she mumbled through her mouthful of bun.
She wondered what her father's experience in the Temple God Resonance would be like. She recalled her own participation in the Third Prince Temple's event back in Golden Light Prefecture—her nerves had been on edge.
Yet, knowing her father backed her up from the shadows had eased her tension considerably.
That particular Temple God Resonance had etched itself deeply into Xi Xi's memory.
After all... she had nearly yielded to the Third Prince Temple God's temptation to return her bones to her father and her flesh to her mother.
Hence, Xi Xi harbored mixed feelings toward the Temple God Resonance, though she couldn't deny the abundance of treasures it offered.
Such as the Prison Lotus Wind Fire Golden Light Wheel, the God-beating Gold Brick she wielded, and the Divine Cultivation Method embedded in her thoughts...
All were legacies bestowed by the Temple God!
So, Xi Xi wished fervently for her father to obtain benefits from this Temple God Resonance.
She realized her father had placed her in the innkeeper's establishment to focus entirely on the Temple God Resonance.
Xi Xi behaved impeccably, savoring the meals and beverages without hindering her father at all!
“Charge ahead, Daddy!”
Xi Xi hoisted her meat bun high, mimicking a cheers.
Her tiny legs dangled crossed and swayed cheerfully, utterly delighted.
The innkeeper lounged in his seat, steeping a fresh pot of tea and taking gentle sips.
Lord Dog sprawled on the floor, his dark coat catching the faint light and shimmering softly.
The innkeeper savored his tea, Xi Xi devoured her bun, and Gouzi rested on the ground, enveloped in the glow.
In stark contrast to the fierce upheavals shaking Qi Tian City with the Temple God Resonance's commencement.
The eatery exuded a serene detachment from worldly chaos.
…
…
Great Vista, Divine Capital.
Divine Capital Second City.
Octagonal Double-eave Water Tower of Qintian Treasure Tower.
The ninth level of the Treasure Tower.
The whole ninth level expanded into infinite expanse, where the Mystic Turtle reclined on the floor, draped in a Grand Supervising Minister’s robe billowing across its shell, sitting in silence with features distorted by bending space.
Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen, the pair of Assistant Directors, waited motionless at the entrance to the Ninth Floor of the Treasure Tower.
All of a sudden.
A silhouette drifted inside.
Dressed in a vivid yellow robe, crowned with a golden treasure headdress adorned with Divine Dragon and Divine Phoenix patterns, he approached unhurriedly, exuding an immense oppressive force that caused Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen to pale faintly.
“Hail, Your Majesty.”
Yue Taofu and Fang Shangzhen's gazes sharpened, regarding the Emperor's unexpected arrival on the ninth floor of the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building with mild shock.
The Emperor radiated an awe-inspiring presence, though his countenance remained hazy, his aura felt profoundly altered from previously.
The Emperor positioned his hands behind his back, descending with his golden boots that sent subtle ripples through space.
“Your Majesty, absent the Chief Supervisor’s approval, entry without leave is forbidden.”
Fang Shangzhen, despite her surprise at the Emperor’s shifted bearing, moved to intercept him resolutely.
“Impudent.”
The Emperor uttered coolly, his tone resounding like a mighty bell.
A formidable Will of Heaven and Earth crashed into Fang Shangzhen’s consciousness, draining the color from her face as though an immense pressure loomed to crush her.
Yet, a soothing divine energy enveloped her.
Fang Shangzhen sensed a massive cushion of plush cotton bolstering her from the rear.
She recognized this as the Chief Supervisor’s intervention.
“Your Majesty, if you insist on entering, then proceed.”
The Chief Supervisor’s voice echoed from within the Ninth Floor.
The Emperor’s vibrant yellow robe swirled as he advanced into the ninth-floor chamber.
As though passing through a gateway, the surroundings transformed into boundless immensity, akin to perching atop clouds with the realm extending forever.
The Chief Supervisor, astride the Mystic Turtle, regarded the Emperor with steady composure.
The Emperor’s visage brimmed with divine essence and vital qi-blood, whereas the Chief Supervisor’s features warped under spatial distortion...
“Chief Supervisor... you foresaw that the one who seized the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod could disrupt my world and hurl my Great Vista... into turmoil?”
“Today, I arrive expressly, Your Majesty, so you may witness... with my present cultivation and the authority I wield now, who... would dare unsettle my Great Vista!”
The Emperor held his hands behind, declaring icily.
His words barely ended.
The Emperor flung his arms wide abruptly, unleashing a fearsome aura from his form.
The Chief Supervisor, perched on the Mystic Turtle, observed with impassive eyes across his contorted features.
As if beholding an amusing spectacle.
…
…
Li Che, masked as the Divine Monkey and shouldering the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, strolled casually from the misty-veiled far end of Qi Tian City's thoroughfare.
Under the collective gaze of spectators, he staged a dazzling debut.
As if the spotlight he craved in his youth had at last illuminated his world.
Concealed by the mask, Li Che’s mindset had transformed dramatically.
Naturally, it felt a bit unusual; back in Golden Light Prefecture, it was Xi Xi who engaged in the Temple God Resonance, marking Li Che’s initial brush with such an event.
