A diminutive and exceedingly frail monkey, clutching an iron staff massive and disproportionate to its stature, stood in the void, a hundred billion miles away from the Emperor of Luotian's City, with the vast expanse of starfields in between. Gazing in the direction of the Emperor of Luotian's City, it burst into a mad laughter: "Ha-ha, two Saints in one day, how amusing, how amusing! You bunch of heart-manipulating emperors, weren't you irritated by Lord Monkey back then? Now you realize Lord Monkey's worth?"

As it spoke, a dazzling ray of light shot directly from the fathomless depths of the cosmos, arriving here and splitting into two, heading straight for the Emperor of Luotian's City!

Inside the city, a giant golden Dragon of incomparable size instantaneously rose, roaring at the two beams of light!

That was the Dragon qi!

The monkey glanced at it and shook its head: "The qi movement has come to an end, even the Dragon of qi movement has become so weak, if it were in the past... Anyway, let me give you a hand!"

With that, it swung the staff in its hand viciously towards the beam of light. At the same time, it bellowed: "Go away, you demons and clowns, from Lord Monkey!"

Bang!

The light beam, despite being a hundred billion miles away in the void, was directly shattered by the monkey. It exploded into an endless rain of light, scattering across the vast cosmic void in a millisecond.

The giant golden Dragon formed by the Dragon qi glanced in the monkey's direction, nodded, and then dispersed.

The monkey stood there pondering for a moment, muttering to itself: "Seems like I've forgotten something? Ah, remember now."

During the speech, it suddenly struck out with the staff in the direction of the Yanhuang territory.

An unparalleled force formed a torrent within the boundless void of the cosmos. All the stars under the torrent were instantly shattered into ash.

Almost instantly, the torrent crossed the infinitely remote starfields and appeared in the territory of Yanhuang.

The terrifying cosmic seal, under the impact of this torrent, thunderously shattered!

In that instant, within the entire Yanhuang territory, all cultivators felt a sudden sense of enlightenment!

Especially those practitioners with profound cultivation levels felt this even more acutely.

A handful of Quasi-Supreme cultivators, at the very moment the seal was broken, sensed the mystically profound Great Dao.

Untold numbers of people were moved to tears.

The Heavens have opened!

The Heavens of the Yanhuang territory, sealed for endless eons… have finally opened!

The Mortal Realm of the Yanhuang territory, that most mysterious place—The Ruins!

The central large tomb instantly collapsed, and then, a hand stretched out from within.

...…

The monkey, with a grin, stared intently in the direction of the Yanhuang territory and said: "The eight domains remain the eight domains, why should one be missing?"

In the depths of the cosmos of the Immortal Domain of Luotian, at this exact moment, several cold and furious howls echoed simultaneously.

Several supremely powerful divine intents, encompassing boundless murderous intent, shredded the cosmic void and instantly struck towards the monkey.

The monkey laughed: "A bunch of white-haired old thieves, still so audacious near death?"

As it spoke, it swung the iron staff in its hand directly at those divine intents. Without any flourish or hesitation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In this void, a tremendous rumbling sounded instantaneously, countless stars were shattered to bits in an instant, completely obliterated. Those few divine intents also vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the pervasive murderous intent, like unowned souls, drifting everywhere.

This murderous intent, still possessing terrifying killing power, could directly puncture through a Saint who carelessly collided with it.

A tranquil piece of cosmic void thus became a killing field.

The monkey, smirking coldly and holding the iron staff, casually walked through the murderous intent, then composedly continued deeper into the cosmos.

That silhouette was lonely but proud. Unstoppable.

From within the city, the resounding royal decree of the emperor echoed: "Many thanks, Great Saint."

"No need to thank me; that kid, I've got them covered! Better keep your summons clear and bright!"

The booming voice of the monkey reverberated over the skies of the entire Imperial City.

In the palace, within the Emperor of Luotian's eyes, the light flickered, and then, a smile began to spread across that solemn face.

Afterwards, he ordered: "Go fetch Chu Tianji into the Imperial City, arrange for him to meet with Qingyu."

"Your Majesty, this... could it be?" a hesitating voice wafted through the air.

"Go. With that monkey back, they've no longer got the heart to mind our matters here," the emperor spoke gravely: "Moreover, being suppressed by them for so many years, has it not been enough for the proud Emperor of Luotian? What more do they want? Truly wishing for the fish to die, even the net would be torn."

"Should have known, should have let that monkey out earlier," that voice in the air said.

"That monkey can only be set free by the chosen successor of the Buddhist sect. We... even if we had the ability, we should not do it. Buddha truly was a wise man, admirable indeed! This time, it's equivalent to indirectly owing the Buddhist sect a cause and effect." The Emperor spoke softly, then said: "Go."

"Yes!"

Chu Tianji never expected that he would achieve saintly ascension at this moment. That immense joy, along with the Great Dao bestowing its insights, gave him a tremendous sense of happiness.

However, he then began to wait for the descent of the Heavenly Tribulation.

Saint Tribulation, ah!

He really did not expect that he would break through at such a time. Facing the Heavenly Tribulation, he was fearless, but the problem was, this place was the domain of the Imperial Clan of Luotian.

Would those people let him pass the tribulation peacefully here?

However, what surprised Chu Tianji exceedingly was that in the void above his head, the two clouds of tribulation trying to condense simply could not take shape.

Because the vast dragon qi from within the imperial city was striking viciously against the tribulation clouds above, preventing them from gathering. Without the ability to condense the tribulation clouds, what Saint Tribulation could there be?

At this moment, a figure appeared in front of Chu Tianji.

This person appeared so abruptly that Chu Tianji, even after stepping into the Holy Realm, did not sense any anomaly. When he noticed this person, he was entirely stunned.

"Nineteen Uncle?" Chu Tianji stared at the elder before him, dumbfounded.

"You've done well, young man. How many years has it been since you ascended to sainthood?" The elder looked at Chu Tianji with a tone mixed with some sentiment.

In fact, when the messenger by the Emperor's side had relayed the message to him, he was also shocked, having not expected the Emperor to suddenly change his attitude. Could it be because of that monkey? If so, the irony would be too much. But he was no longer the passionate young man, and he understood in his heart that the Emperor's choices back then were not wrong, and today's change could not be called a remedy. One could only say, the Emperor had his own considerations.

Over these years, he had been observing coldly from the sidelines, focusing on his cultivation. But whenever he thought of the incident from those years ago, he felt a sense of guilt. The saying that the bloodline of the Imperial Clan of Luotian must not flow outward was indeed a common saying, but in truth, very few people strictly adhered to it anymore.

No matter how proud or conceited the Imperial Clan was, in the end, didn't they still marry women from the outside? It was just that the ones married before were princesses from great clans within the Immortal Domain of Luotian. The princesses of the Imperial Clan also married nothing but sons from the great clans in the Immortal Domain of Luotian… Weren't there Heavenly Geniuses in the eight lower domains? Could they really not marry?

In the end, it was all because of that prophecy!

That was the huge mountain pressing down on the entire Imperial Clan of Luotian.

Chu Tianji looked at the elder with a sigh, then bitterly smiled and said: "Nineteen Uncle, did you come to..."

The elder shook his head and smiled: "One should not do bad things. In my life, I only committed that single act against my conscience, and it's remembered by everyone. Young man, don't worry. This time, I'm here to bring you to reunite with Qingyu!"

"Ah?" No matter how rich Chu Tianji's imagination was, he could not have anticipated such an outcome.

"Some things can't be explained in a few words, but rest assured, the Imperial Clan... this time, they won't obstruct you two anymore." Nineteen Uncle looked at Chu Tianji, speaking solemnly: "You both have suffered over the years."

Chu Tianji was completely taken aback; he looked at the elder somewhat dazedly and incredulously.

The elder nodded and said gently: "It's true. Look, you've achieved sainthood here without any Heavenly Tribulation. This… can be considered a token of the Imperial Clan's regard for you."

Nineteen Uncle did not mention compensation, because such compensation, for what Chu Tianji and Ji Qingyu had endured over the years, was truly insignificant. It was not worth mentioning at all. He even felt ashamed to utter those two words.

Chu Tianji looked up at the ever-restless tribulation clouds above the firmament, then heaved a sigh and nodded. Immediately after, his voice trembling slightly, he asked: "Am I really... about to see Qingyu?"

"Yes." Nineteen Uncle nodded again: "Follow me."

In Luotian Imperial City, amidst a very secluded range of mountains, there stood a lone, small house.

A woman of peerless beauty, with no makeup, was quietly standing at the door, her face calm as she gazed at the sky above.

Such a disturbance had alerted the whole imperial city; no one could remain unaffected.

But for Ji Qingyu, these matters were of no concern. Even the reemergence of that monkey, sweeping a mighty iron rod across the will of those supreme beings, did not cause any emotional ripples in her.

To her, all these happenings were irrelevant.

However, soon, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face as she stared entranced at a figure flying over from the distance.

To be precise, there were two figures. But in Ji Qingyu's eyes, there was only that one figure left.

She could not see the others!

Chu Tianji was also gazing dumbfoundedly at the still beautiful woman.

"Baby..." The word he uttered, devoid of any cringe, was instead filled with vicissitudes, sorrow, and helplessness. No one but they themselves knew what this word meant to these two people.

"Brother, is that you?" Ji Qingyu didn't even dare to believe her own eyes.

Unblinking, she stared fixedly at Chu Tianji's face, weathered by time. Yes, at this moment, Chu Tianji no longer looked like the shabby drunkard. Meeting his wife, how could he be so unkempt? In this world, only this woman could make him willingly shave his beard and tidy himself up. And only this woman could evoke all the tenderness in his heart!

Nineteen Uncle followed behind them at a distance, his face filled with emotion as he witnessed this scene, suddenly frowning he said: "Remove the seal here!"

"Who dares?" A young voice, filled with coldness, suddenly rang out.
