Chapter 237: Demon Ape's Staff Shatters Illusions, Divine Talismans Cloud the Sky, and Yu Li Qing is Shocked by the Explosion

Whoosh!

The howling wind swept up, stirring up the snow that covered the heavens and earth, blanketing the land for thousands of miles and freezing the ground.

In the Divine Talisman Tower, standing atop the mountain peak, the warm atmosphere inside the building contrasted with the harsh winter outside.

Grandmaster Xuan Qi Sha, the Sect Master's Consort, stood there, petite in stature, but with a clenched fist, she gently patted Xi Xi's shoulder.

The teacher and her disciple looked like sisters, their bond evident.

Jiao Shaoqiu, sitting on the wooden floor, was startled by the Sect Master's Consort's words, his entire body freezing in place.

The Sect Master's Consort... was going to take Xi Xi to teach someone a lesson!

Jiao Shaoqiu took a deep breath.

He had underestimated the Sect Master's Consort's feelings for Xi Xi!

For a Divine Talisman Master who had secluded herself in the Divine Talisman Tower for a lifetime, to now willingly step out for Xi Xi's sake!

This was even more surprising to Jiao Shaoqiu than Xi Xi's exceptional talent for divine talismans!

"The Dragon Deity Clan, no, the Eel Clan, dares to act so recklessly!"

"After losing her son, she wants an innocent little girl to marry him in the underworld, completely devoid of humanity! Oh, that cursed beast is not even human! She deserves to die!"

The Sect Master's Consort rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender arms, and patted Xi Xi's shoulder, who looked wronged.

Her eyes flashed with intense anger.

"Teacher... please calm down."

Jiao Shaoqiu's aged and withered face twitched slightly, and he hurriedly spoke.

The Sect Master's Consort glanced at Jiao Shaoqiu.

She let out a cold laugh, "I know what you're trying to dissuade me from... it's meaningless, it won't work at all!"

"Ji Moli is indeed powerful, but so what?"

"He's not even here in person!"

The Sect Master's Consort spoke with righteous indignation.

"Shouldn't we take advantage of his absence and teach his pet a lesson?"

The Sect Master's Consort imitated Xi Xi's posture, tilting her head back, straightening her chest, and sticking out her belly, but...

She didn't have Xi Xi's adorable little belly.

"Madam... the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect is not afraid of the Pacifier King, but behind him stands the Great Jing Dynasty."

Jiao Shaoqiu let out a bitter laugh.

"You also know the current situation in the world. The Great Jing Dynasty's power has waned, and it's no longer as formidable and domineering as it was a hundred years ago."

"The Corpse Deity Sect's rebellion, the Hunter Deity Pavilion's recklessness, the reincarnated temple deities, the ancient tribes from beyond the borders, and the Great Li King's Court in the desert... Under these internal and external threats, the Great Jing Dynasty's attitude towards the Divine Sect has become increasingly..."

Jiao Shaoqiu spoke in a deep voice.

He was concerned that the Sect Master's Consort, having stayed in the Divine Talisman Tower for so long, might have no concept of the world's situation, so he briefly described it.

The Sect Master's Consort, Xuan Qi Sha, narrowed her eyes, "What? Does the Great Jing Dynasty still want to suppress the Divine Sect and swallow up the various sects?"

"Even during its heyday, the Great Jing Dynasty didn't dare to act so recklessly... Now that it's in decline, it dares to?"

Jiao Shaoqiu let out another bitter laugh.

"This disciple doesn't know..."

"But the rumors in the world are indeed like this."

"And the Pacifier King, Ji Moli, is the sharpest spear of the Great Jing Dynasty."

The Sect Master's Consort chuckled, "Grandma is so scared..."

"Although a dragon has many uses... dragon blood can refine pills and ink, dragon bones can forge divine weapons, dragon tendons can make strings, dragon skin can make armor, dragon meat can be cooked, and it tastes excellent when grilled... but don't worry, I can endure it."

Xi Xi blinked her bright eyes.

A dragon...

It had so many uses!

Xi Xi seemed to have discovered a new world.

Hearing this, Jiao Shaoqiu shook his head and said no more.

The Sect Master's Consort, with her delicate features and small frame, narrowed her eyes to slits.

"Xi Xi, follow your teacher!"

The Sect Master's Consort pulled Xi Xi's small hand, and the two of them instantly arrived at the railing of the tower.

Looking out, the snowstorm raged.

The Sect Master's Consort's skirt and wide sleeves fluttered in the wind.

With a shake of her hand, a divine talisman flew out, its yellow paper glowing with cinnabar ink, and she slapped it onto Xi Xi's back.

Then, the Sect Master's Consort laughed.

"Let's go!"

With that, the Sect Master's Consort pulled Xi Xi and soared into the snowstorm.

The snowstorm seemed to part like the curtains of a heavenly stage.

Jiao Shaoqiu's ancient robe fluttered in the wind, his beard and hair dancing.

He stood at the railing, gazing at the snow-covered mountains.

He exhaled slowly.

"Haha..."

The old man stroked his beard, his laughter filled with joy.

...

The snowflakes in the sky, like flowers, danced with the wind, opening only once before drifting for thousands of miles.

Celestial Origin Dao City, Inner City.

Spring Hope Pavilion.

This was the most luxurious tavern in the inner city, occupying a vast area. It was called a pavilion, but in reality, it consisted of four towers, with only the central building being the true seat of honor.

Noble guests from outside Celestial Origin Dao City often resided in the Spring Hope Pavilion.

It was said that the Spring Hope Pavilion was under the jurisdiction of the city lord.

Therefore, not just anyone could stay there.

On regular days, when there were no noble guests, the Spring Hope Pavilion would not open, and only the four towers would be available, offering services similar to a hotel, with talented women and dancers available for entertainment.

Spring Hope Pavilion, Ninth Floor.

The curtains fluttered in the cold winter wind that blew through the hall.

Inside the tower, three figures sat by a round table. One of them, dressed in golden armor, was Yu Li Qing, the Western Camp General of the Divine Guard Army, revealing a stern and solemn face.

Opposite Yu Li Qing sat Ji He Shan, the Fourth Elder of the Inner Sect of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect.

Next to them was a plump and voluptuous woman, dressed in luxurious silk robes, with a majestic aura—the Dragon Queen Consort, Ao Yu Xin.

By the Dragon Queen Consort's side stood a little girl, quietly and obediently.

The girl was around eight or nine years old, with long, flowing hair and downcast eyes, but occasionally, her eyes would lift, revealing a deep blue glow.

At the balcony railing stood two figures—the Great Grandmaster Long Tai and the female archer Qing Niao, both at the Great Grandmaster level.

Their faces were solemn and cold.

Inside the room, a charcoal stove warmed the air, and a kettle boiled, filling the room with the aroma of tea, creating a cozy spring-like atmosphere.

Elder Ji He Shan, in his ancient robe, picked up a teacup and took a sip.

"Excellent tea, indeed. It's no wonder it's the finest Dragon Valley tea, grown in the Dragon God Valley." Elder Ji HeShan stroked his beard and smiled.

"If you like it, Elder Ji, I'll ask the younger generation of Dragon Valley to bring more next time." The Dragon Queen Consort's azure eyes sparkled with radiance.

Elder Ji shook his head. "That's enough, a small taste is sufficient."

His gaze fell upon the little girl, "Is this the Dragon Valley's gifted child that the Queen Consort brought?"

"Ao Qingqing is my brother's legitimate daughter, possessing the purest Dragon God bloodline... According to the original plan, after Haihui obtained the inheritance of the Eight-Armed Hell Lotus, the Angry Third Prince, and the Strange Temple's Temple Deity, he would come to Primordial Dao City to participate in the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect's Grand Master's personal assessment..."

"Unfortunately, Haihui was persecuted to death..."

Grief flashed in the Queen Consort's eyes, and her breathing quickened with sorrow.

This was her son; how could she not feel the pain?

It was like a heart-wrenching pain, unbearable.

The white-haired sending off the black-haired—a tragedy of heaven and earth!

So, she harbored hatred.

She asked Elder Ji to take her to visit the Divine Sect's main gate, where she saw the young girl at the Outer Sect.

Her son was dead, yet this girl... How dare she live so well?! Why?!

Did Haihui like this little girl?

Then, she would have this girl captured, arrange a ghost marriage, and send her to meet Haihui in the netherworld, so he wouldn't be alone on his journey!

"This girl has quite a talent. Jiao Shaoqiu has high hopes for her, and she's now a disciple of the Divine Sect. If the Queen Consort truly has grievances, it's best to wait until after the Grand Master's personal assessment to speak of it."

Elder Ji spoke.

"If this girl's talent is truly exceptional and she becomes the Grand Master's personal disciple..."

"Then, the ghost marriage can be called off."

After all, Elder Ji was an elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect. Although he had a good relationship with the Queen Consort, when it came to matters concerning the Grand Master, he couldn't bend the rules.

"Of course," Queen Consort Ao YuXin replied indifferently.

Elder Ji glanced at her, and they stopped discussing the matter, focusing on their tea.

You Li Qing had been silent the entire time, which was typical of him. He rarely spoke, except when facing his master, Ji Moli, whom he greatly admired.

Suddenly, as Fourth Elder Ji HeShan and Dragon Queen Consort Ao YuXin were sipping their tea, their complexions changed slightly.

In their teacups, the tea suddenly rippled, spreading in concentric circles.

You Li Qing finally noticed, his eyes widening as a powerful aura surged skyward.

"Who?!"

His voice boomed, piercing the heavens.

In the next moment, You Li Qing's body was enveloped in golden armor, and he burst out of the main hall of Spring Hope Pavilion.

The powerful aura of a Triple Flower Grand Master surged, his blood and energy roared like billowing smoke, dancing wildly between heaven and earth.

Boom!

It was as if a ten-thousand-foot thunderbolt had descended from the leaden clouds.

The thunderous sounds intertwined densely, forming a vast expanse.

It was as if a mass of yellow-orange light, approaching from afar, left a lingering, boiling aura in the cold heavens.

You Li Qing's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to touch his brow.

In an instant, his eyes transformed, radiating dazzling golden light, as if a voice of anger reverberated through the sky.

"Divine Seed, Wrathful Heavenly King Eye!"

He looked towards the mass of yellow-orange light.

You Li Qing was taken aback. The Wrathful Heavenly King Eye suddenly shrank.

He saw divine talismans...

Countless divine talismans gathered together, forming a massive cloud of talismans.

The yellow-orange talismans, inscribed with cinnabar, piled up like clouds, tearing through the wind and snow.

"Divine talismans?

You Li Qing was stunned.

The next moment, a mocking voice came from within the cloud of talismans.

"What are you looking at? Why are you staring?"

As the voice fell silent, You Li Qing's hair stood on end. His Triple Flower cultivation base suddenly blossomed, and his entire body seemed to turn transparent. In his spine, a divine seed embedded in the Mystic Gate glowed.

Clenching his fist, he let out a long howl and thrust out a punch.

However—

A divine talisman suddenly ignited in mid-air.

Then, a circle of golden light locked onto You Li Qing's body.

From within the cloud of talismans, a small hand emerged, and tiny fingers snapped.

In an instant—

A streak of light whistled like a raging electric storm.

"A Binding Immortal Talisman of the Five Elders' Rank?!"

You Li Qing's hair stood on end.

An icy chill filled his entire body.

Who was this person? To send a Binding Immortal Talisman of the Five Elders' Rank without hesitation!

You Li Qing bit his tongue, and a burning sensation rose from the tip. His muscles and veins intertwined with boiling energy, and a golden eight-foot serpent spear appeared behind him.

It transformed into a hideous, multi-sectioned dragon snake.

Boom!

A muffled thunderclap reverberated through the Spring Greeting Tower, creating ripples that expanded like concentric circles.

Within a radius of several dozen feet, the falling snow was instantly shattered into a white mist of powder.

The violent wind howled, tearing through the curtains, some of which were ripped apart by the powerful gusts.

Qing Niao and Long Tai's faces paled with shock. They retreated awkwardly, and Long Tai drew out his crocodile-headed axe, while Qing Niao took down the divine carving on her back and nocked six arrows.

Then, they saw a miniature divine talisman, the size of a child's palm, transform into a golden streak and slap You Li Qing's forehead.

You Li Qing's body became like a cannonball, uncontrollably shooting out and leaving a trail of golden light in mid-air.

It then crashed into the black-tiled roof of the Spring Greeting Tower, shattering the flying eaves and collapsing onto the building.

Fourth Elder Ji HeShan and Dragon Queen Consort Ao YuXin, who had been drinking tea, froze in place.

They looked at the miniature divine talisman on You Li Qing's forehead.

Elder Ji spat out his tea, his eyes narrowing in shock.

"It's her!"

...

...

The Strange Temple.

At the temple entrance, Gongshu Jingjun's gaze fell upon the demonic ape divine carving held by Li Qingti.

Carved from Bloodfire Divine Pattern Bodhi Wood, the demonic ape divine carving exuded a deep amber color like blood-red tiger amber.

The tadpole-like Bloodfire Divine Pattern on its body seemed to burn like flames.

Gongshu Jingjun's divine sense was exceptionally powerful, and with just a sweep, he felt the demonic ape's dormant, hidden divinity, yearning to burst forth.

It was incredibly vast, like a raging ape that roared to the heavens, holding a golden staff infused with divinity.

Most importantly...

This raging ape divine carving gave Gongshu Jingjun a sense of familiarity.

The familiarity of this sensation was indeed from the Demon Ape Divine Carving that Li Che had just witnessed within the strange fog, guarding the Temple Deity Corpse King!

The Demon Ape Corpse King sitting in meditation, dozing off with every breath.

So similar! It's incredibly alike!

Although the strange fog prevented him from seeing the true face of the Demon Ape Corpse King, Li Che could sense the divine intent clash during the process... It seemed like he would be at a huge disadvantage.

"It's not a problem..."

"Your Divine Carving..."

Gongshu Jingjun spoke, unable to find the right words to describe it.

"It's just a small matter..."

Then, without waiting for Gongshu Jingjun to finish, Li Che smiled, "It's nothing..."

"Just a minor issue."

Subsequently, Li Che took out a Sixth Rank Martial Pill and popped it into his mouth right in front of Gongshu Jingjun.

As the pill entered his stomach, its effects surged, and powerful Qi and blood rushed through Li Che's body like a raging river.

In an instant, the Bloodfire Divine Pattern on half of Li Che's body shattered and dissipated.

How is this possible?! Even experienced Divine Embryo Cultivators were stunned and speechless.

Li Che's actions left everyone a bit dazed.

However, Gongshu Jingjun didn't dwell on it too much. He merely took a deep look at Li Che and knew he wasn't foolish...

What effect did the Martial Pill have? It must be something extraordinary. No wonder Tang Jia had high hopes for this young man; he had hidden quite a few tricks up his sleeve.

His strength was likely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Without further discussion, the two of them left the range of the Strange Temple and walked out of the Strange Pavilion, passing through the strange fog.

As they exited the Strange Pavilion, the divine essence in the heavens and earth instantly weakened by several levels.

In that moment, Li Che felt a sense of emptiness within.

"The divine essence within the Strange Pavilion is indeed dense. For Divine Essence Cultivators, it has great benefits, and for martial artists, it's also quite helpful."

"Overcoming the divine essence power, the divine essence power generated by the Strange Temple has been constantly tempering martial artists' bodies."

"After the birth of the Strange Temple, martial artists' breakthroughs have become easier. In the past, giving birth to a Martial Saint was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but in this era, it has become much more manageable."

Gongshu Jingjun seemed to understand Li Che's feelings and explained.

"The Strange Temple, although dangerous, is considered by many to be a rare, transformed Cavern Heaven Land recorded in ancient texts."

Cavern Heaven Land?

Li Che's eyebrows rose as he pondered.

The two of them left the Strange Temple and returned to the Divine Carving Ridge's reception hall.

The reception hall of the Divine Carving Ridge was already filled with people.

They were all Wood Carving Masters who had come to compete for the exam slots.

However, most of the Wood Carving Masters were here to spectate, merely to experience the divine essence within the Strange Pavilion, while some were here to witness a Five Elders Rank Temple Deity Divine Carving.

A true Divine Carving Master.

There were only four people: Su Huaiming, Zhou Tian Shui, Yun Haiyang, and Li Che.

Su Huaiming held up the Divine Carving, standing tall with his hair and beard dancing in the wind, a smile on his face.

Wood Carving Masters around them praised and boasted about Su Huaiming's performance within the Strange Temple.

"Those who haven't entered the Strange Temple may be unaware, but Su Master's performance is truly unparalleled..."

"As the Temple Deity Divine Carving took shape, the strange fog within the Strange Pavilion surged, as if attracting the Temple Deity Corpse King and other demonic and strange beings, all drawn by Su Master's Divine Carving!"

"With the fog rising, the divine essence concentration within the Strange Pavilion increased by at least threefold! We almost suffocated!"

One of the Wood Carving Masters expressed his admiration.

Of course, there was some artistic exaggeration in their words, but Su Huaiming enjoyed the flattery, and he loved hearing it.

"This time, Su Master's performance in the Divine Carving Ridge's exam has stabilized, and he will definitely surpass the past!"

"No, no, it's an exaggeration... The divine intent clash hasn't concluded yet, and it's too early to make such a conclusion."

Su Huaiming stroked his beard, laughing.

He held up the Divine Carving of the Heart-Monarch of Dual Hearts, and the divine essence waves surged.

In the distance, Lu Qingti pulled Tang Ren, who couldn't stand Su Huaiming's smug expression, feeling his teeth itch.

"My Uncle Li Che hasn't come out yet! My Uncle Li Che is Xi Xi's father, and he must win!"

Lu Qingti was speechless, "This person is Su Family's Six Ministries Level Divine Carving Master, a first-rank guest minister in the Heavenly Observation Bureau! His status is extremely honorable, and he has studied Divine Carving for over sixty years. How can you be so sure that your Uncle Li Che will win?"

"Because he's Xi Xi's father!"

Tang Ren insisted.

Lu Qingti rolled his eyes, not wanting to argue with a fanboy.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

Gongshu Jingjun and Li Che arrived, floating in the air.

The entire reception hall fell silent, as everyone knew the results were about to be announced.

After the last Divine Carving Master finished their carving, the divine intent clash would begin...

The divine intent clash was simple and brutal.

Whose Divine Carving contained stronger divine intent meant a higher rank, naturally making them the winner.

And the Divine Carving Ridge countering...

For every Divine Carving Demi-Saint, it was an extremely interesting matter.

Just like fighting crickets...

Who wouldn't want to determine a winner, and who wouldn't want to see which great cricket could fight to the end?

Outside the reception hall.

An elderly man with completely white hair walked tremblingly.

His entire body was covered in crane skin, like a walking dead tree.

"Elder Sun."

Gongshu Jingjun greeted him with a smile.

"Ridge Lord, my Divine Carving Demi-Saint is here..."

Elder Sun smiled, he was too old, on the verge of death, even if he had once been an extremely powerful Divinity cultivator and warrior, but when life reached its end, he would also fall into decay.

Li Che looked at Elder Sun, his eyes a little dazed.

This was...

The consequence of not achieving immortality?

In the end... he would become so old, his body filled with the smell of decay, a sense of despair that death could come at any moment.

Li Che's gaze narrowed, his eyelids drooped, and his heart stirred slightly.

Immortality...

Li Che's desire for immortality suddenly soared.

He also had to bring his daughter and daughter-in-law to achieve immortality...

Immortality in this world would ensure that he wouldn't be alone.

The Divine Carving Demi-Saint that Elder Sun handed over was also a Divine Brilliance True Monkey Two Hearts Supreme Sage Statue.

It was also obtained after entering the Deceptive Pavilion and observing the temple deity.

Its divine aura was restrained, and the carving craftsmanship was extremely exquisite, with every monkey hair meticulously depicted, as if the true temple deity had come to life.

After all, he was an old master who had spent a long time carving Divine Carving Demi-Saints.

His skills were truly remarkable.

Even Li Che couldn't help but exclaim.

Gongshu Jingjun took the Divine Carving Demi-Saint from Elder Sun and then looked at the other woodcarving masters in the reception hall.

These woodcarving masters were all seated in grandmaster chairs, their eyes burning with anticipation.

"After entering the Deceptive Pavilion, observing the temple deity, and carving the Divine Carving Demi-Saint... the next step is the countering of the Divine Brilliance True Monkey's divine intent..."

"Masters who have carved Divine Carving Demi-Saints, please bring them out."

Gongshu Jingjun said calmly.

Su Huaiming, Zhou Tianhe, and Yun Haiyang, each holding a Divine Carving Demi-Saint, walked out.

"Ridge Lord, we..."

Su Huaiming's lips curled up, and he said confidently.

Gongshu Jingjun nodded.

"Masters, please place the Divine Carving Demi-Saints you have carved on the meditation cushions on the floor of the reception hall. Beneath the cushions are divine pattern arrays that will activate the divine intent of the Demi-Saints."

Everyone followed suit.

Su Huaiming and the others were obviously not doing this for the first time, so they were very familiar with the process. They carefully placed the Divine Carving Demi-Saints on the meditation cushions.

Li Che also found a meditation cushion.

This meditation cushion...

Was itself a divine armament.

Li Che placed the Heaven and Earth Mimetic Divine Brilliance True Monkey Divinity Statue on the meditation cushion.

Gongshu Jingjun helped Elder Sun place his Demi-Saint.

After placing the Demi-Saints, each woodcarving master returned to their grand chairs and sat down.

Gongshu Jingjun sat in the main seat, his expression calm.

After scanning the entire hall, he said, "Masters..."

"The countering of the Divine Brilliance True Monkey's divine intent begins now."

As his words ended, Gongshu Jingjun snapped his fingers, and a beam of Divinity burst forth, drilling into the floor of the reception hall.

In an instant, beneath the floor of the reception hall, it was as if some mechanism was activated, and a dense and powerful Divinity erupted from the cracks in the tiles.

Slowly, the reception hall was enveloped in a dense fog of Divinity.

Among the five Demi-Saints, a divine light suddenly shone, and the beams tore through the dense fog of Divinity! Every woodcarving master's gaze was filled with curiosity as they looked over.

Then, they saw that each Demi-Saint seemed to come to life, their eyes opening, and their fur flying.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!

Golden light shone brilliantly, and the cassocks fluttered as the four Divine Brilliance True Monkey Two Hearts Supreme Sage Statues leaped up, their five fingers clenched, and they held golden staffs in their hands.

They faced each other.

It was lifelike, as if the Divine Brilliance True Monkey Two Hearts Supreme Sage Statue had come back to life!

The Divinity was boiling, just like the eager hearts of every woodcarving master!

However...

It was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Gongshu Jingjun, sitting among the masters, was stunned for a moment.

Then they saw, in the dense fog of Divinity...

A deafening roar exploded, like the thunder god's fury, with heavenly thunder rolling and crashing down to the mortal realm!

The violent roar rumbled, forming sound waves that instantly impacted the dense fog of Divinity, creating ripples that spread out!

"Roar, roar, roar, roar!!!"

The four Divine Brilliance True Monkey Two Hearts Supreme Sage Statues also roared, their cassocks flying wildly, and the golden staffs in their hands fiercely struck out!

At this moment, the divine intent of the four Demi-Saints joined forces!

Four beams of golden light in the dense fog of Divinity were like four golden divine dragons charging from east to west!

But then, the dense fog dissipated!

A ferocious and vicious mechanized monkey god, its hair flying, vigorously swung its thick tail, causing the air to explode with a deafening sound!

Dragging the long golden staff, it emerged from the dense fog of Divinity.

Facing the four approaching Divine Brilliance True Monkey Two Hearts Supreme Sage Statues, the mechanized monkey god raised its head, and its eyes, glowing with intense golden light, seemed to see through all illusions!

"Halt—!!!"

A rebuking shout!

Just like rolling thunder!

But the mechanized monkey god had already taken action, and the golden staff it was dragging suddenly vibrated on the ground, quickly rising!

In everyone's perception...

This mechanized monkey god had only made a move to lift the staff.

It was as if a divine mountain that had pierced the clouds was suddenly pulled out, carrying the will to smash through endless darkness!

In an instant—

The surrounding Divine Essence Aura, like a vast expanse of smoke, was instantly shattered in that moment.

The sky cleared, and the jade palace shone brightly!

The four Divine Brilliance True Monkey Two Hearts Supreme Sage Statues, struck by the mechanized monkey god's staff, flew back at an even faster speed!

The mechanized monkey god's golden eyes were incredibly clear, like two flames burning in the endless darkness.

A deep voice slowly echoed, like an ancient deity speaking, and a thick aura of Divinity enveloped the golden staff in the mechanized monkey god's hand.

In an instant, the staff turned crimson like a hot iron, as if a divine dragon were coiled around it!

"Illusions, all are illusions—!"

"My staff..."

"Points to the heavens!"

"Shatters all illusions!"
