As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life Chapter 1752 - 456: Divine Monkey Shines Before Qitian Temple; Temple God Resonance—Three Knocks on the Monkey’s Head [Monthly Ticket Request]

This marked the commencement of Xi Xi's metamorphosis, heralding the dawn of her path to development.

Upon securing the inheritance from the Third Prince Temple God, she appeared ensnared by an indissoluble destiny to the All Gods Camp inside the Deceit Que.

Li Che found it hard to determine if this was a boon or a bane.

At present, Li Che had arrived to confront the Temple God Resonance himself.

Li Che wasn't certain whether this Qitian linked back to the figure from his previous life's recollections, yet with the opportunity to engage, he chose not to refuse and opted to attempt it.

"Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod..."

Numerous gazes locked onto the Divine Monkey shouldering the golden Divine Warrior Treasure Stick.

The Great Supervising Minister's Heavenly Mechanism Prediction was familiar to plenty. Legends spoke of a fierce battle for the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod, which ultimately ended up with the Underworld Divine Monkey.

Plenty believed the Underworld would pass the Heart-following Gold Iron Divine Rod to a mightier being for this Temple God Resonance.

Surprisingly, the Underworld persisted in assigning the divine rod to the Divine Monkey, permitting its entry into the Temple God Resonance.

The Qitian Temple God Resonance, restrained for five centuries, stood apart from the earlier Third Prince Temple God Resonance in the Golden Light Prefecture.

Power indeed played a pivotal role in the equation.

The chained, ferocious humanoid silhouette that all beheld hinted at some profound clues.

A veil of enigmatic mist billowed upward, ascending with a grating noise.

Under the Inner City's walls, the long-barred entrance creaked open gradually, unleashing a torrent of swirling enigmatic mist!

It morphed into a blasting wave, surging directly from the Inner City towards the exterior.

Suddenly, right before the city gates, the enigmatic mist's thickness intensified without cease.

It twisted and contorted, forming a Deceit Que Heaven and Earth, brimming with an enchanting allure.

The Inner City's already ajar portals started to fade into obscurity.

Three hundred zhang!

All were pushed back to three hundred zhang distant, before the enigmatic temple's three hundred zhang boundary...

This formed the inviolable domain for the Temple God Resonance.

The zone inside three hundred zhang served as the trial ground for the Temple God Resonance. Successful resonance permitted one to advance and cross into the three hundred zhang radius.

Failure in resonating with the Temple God meant disqualification from entry.

Such stipulations governed every enigmatic temple.

During Xi Xi's trial in the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple's Temple God Resonance, she encountered the identical challenge.

Three hundred zhang ahead of the enigmatic temple, the enigmatic mist undulated.

Even the Black Bull Demon God Venerable at the Realm of Two Disasters seemed to diminish in stature at that instant, lost within the endless enigmatic mist.

The enigmatic mist churned wildly, as though a dreadful entity inside was peering outward.

Humm, humm, humm—

A resonant hum reverberated from deep within the Inner City.

Dong—

Abruptly, it resembled the tolling of an ancient Divine Bell on a frozen peak, igniting landslides and endless cascades.

Li Che and everyone else sensed their forms starting to dissolve.

The nearby crowds of people and demons receded into the horizon, engulfed by the enigmatic mist, vanishing entirely.

All understood clearly.

This was the Three Pure Bizarre Temples enveloped in the enigmatic mist.

The Temple God Resonance...

Had formally commenced!

...

...

Lv Taibai's locks whipped about fiercely, his feelings roiling as his environment blurred.

He recognized that the Temple God Resonance was underway. In the hazy vista ahead, he advanced boldly, plunging into the enigmatic mist.

Not all enigmatic temples provided a chance for the Temple God Resonance trial.

It depended on rare fortune, typically granted only to freshly awakened enigmatic temples.

For any cultivator, this represented a singular golden opportunity, with the Temple God’s inheritance highly attainable amid the Temple God Resonance.

"Equal Heaven Temple..."

"Could my Qian Yuan Divine Sect rise to become the next Equal Heaven Temple?"

Lv Taibai shook his head, offering a bitter grin.

"Not even close... This round, without the Underworld's aid, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect would have crumbled under the Imperial Court, its peaks razed, sect annihilated, and its Taoist heritage wiped out."

"Thus, I have to strive, I must battle on..."

Lv Taibai drew in a profound breath and charged into the enigmatic mist.

Yet, the instant he crossed the threshold, the vista before him shifted dramatically.

Cool moonlight bathed the scene, where a diminutive monkey clad in human garb cocked its head, eyeing Lv Taibai with bright, lively orbs brimming with inquisitiveness and longing.

"Do you know the Transformation Technique?"

The monkey inquired.

Lv Taibai froze in surprise.

As a straightforward Sword Cultivator, his expertise lay only in slashing and hewing; Transformation Techniques lay beyond his grasp.

Thus, the forthright Lv Taibai simply shook his head.

Upon hearing this, the little monkey's gaze filled with evident dejection.

"If you lack knowledge of the Transformation Technique, how could you resonate with me at all?"

The little monkey declared.

In the following instant, the monkey's form quivered, expanding swiftly to a staggering scale, while the earth trembled and the Daoist Temple crumbled explosively.

Its tail thrashed madly as the monkey morphed into a Mixed World Giant Ape, looming ten thousand zhang high, colossal like a demon deity!

With a mighty roar, gales howled forth, and the very space splintered gradually under the force of its bellow!

Lv Taibai watched as the world around him dissolved.

The enigmatic mist whirled.

Lv Taibai blinked awake, confused and disoriented.

He glanced around, spotting not just himself but other cultivators materializing too.

They lingered at the enigmatic temple's three hundred zhang line, unable to progress a single step.

Lv Taibai, his silver tresses streaming, let out a quiet sigh: "No resonance whatsoever..."

Fang Hanshu, clutching the Holy Sage Book, cast a composed look at Lv Taibai: "Fighting Prison Lotus Demon Saint Qitian Temple God, there are four essential elements..."
