That audacious Old Ancestor Ape, who shattered countless mountains and annihilated ancestral halls of immortals across the two continents of Haoran. Arrogant and self-centered, with eyes that pierced the heavens and a demeanor of unparalleled pride.

His true name, Zhu Yan, was woven from the countless silken threads emanating from the young Hidden Official. Though it flashed by in an instant, Yuan Shou, with his connection to the Great Dao, still managed to glimpse the characters. This made the naturally unruly Yuan Shou even more ferocious. If this young Hidden Official was not eliminated, he would undoubtedly become a source of endless trouble. A fight, then so be it! Let the two realms clash until they were utterly destroyed. Let mountains and rivers shatter once more, until even Crescent Moon Mountain and the Old Blind Man’s Ten Thousand Mountains were pulverized. Perhaps then he could gather a vast amount of mountain essence and fortune, using it to ascend to the Fourteenth Realm.

The great war in Haoran had failed to break the continents of Precious Bottle and Flowing Sunset, causing Yuan Shou’s Dao gains to fall short of expectations by half, making it impossible to break through his own Dao bottleneck.

The key for this Old Ancestor, belonging to the lineage of Mountain Movers and close to the Fourteenth Realm, was the phrase, “Using the stones of other mountains to polish one’s own jade.” Seemingly harmonizing with the terrain, it was actually harmonizing with the people.

How many mountain peaks had been shattered by his staff? The future domain of his Fourteenth Realm would contain an equal number and style of mountains.

By moving fragments, shifting fractured veins, accumulating mountain roots, and building bit by bit, he would create new Five Peaks within his own domain. With the Great Dao imperishable, he would achieve an undying body.

In the early days of discussions at the Hall of Heroes, even with the secret assistance of the concubine Fei, where both sides benefited, Yuan Shou had only managed to manifest two mountains from his heart’s domain. Later, after shattering countless mountain peaks in Floating Clouds and Tung Leaf continents with his staff, he finally managed to painstakingly accumulate two more. Once the Five Peaks stood tall within his domain, and he harmonized with a Kunlun domain, Yuan Shou, with his feet upon this mountain, would walk the path of solitary Dao, ascending to the heavens!

What Azure Darkness Realm, what Western Buddhist Kingdom – anywhere in the world with mountains and earth would become the domain of Grandpa Ape.

And when all the mountains in the world were moved into his domain, he would become the newest Fifteenth Realm cultivator after the founders of the Three Teachings! Coexisting with heaven and earth, treading on stars, and shattering the sun and moon with his staff.

What Sprout Mountain, what Dragon Tiger Mountain – they were all just a pile of bamboo chopsticks! Grandpa Ape wouldn’t even need both hands; a single squeeze would shatter them.

At that time, killing Bai Ye, who no longer wielded a sword, would be a trivial matter!

Fei Ran raised two fingers and gently pressed down in front of him, actually causing Yuan Shou’s long staff to sink slightly.

Yuan Shou’s face darkened. He turned to confront the young master of Crescent Moon Mountain, who had contributed nothing to the great war but reaped the greatest benefits afterward.

But within his mind, a ripple arose – the laughter of the old man with the walking stick. “Zhu Yan, even I am not angry. What are you angry about? Do you want to crawl at the bottom of a well, or learn from A Liang and stay as a guest at Crescent Moon Mountain?”

Yuan Shou snorted coldly, lowered his long staff, and hoisted it back onto his shoulder.

The Great Demon Official Lane feigned innocence and helplessness. “Since when have the scholars of Haoran become so aggressive? You said that both sides were to discuss matters, and we had barely begun when you said you wanted to fight. Please, be reasonable.”

Shou Chen had no desire to speak. With Fei Ran in charge and the strategies left behind by his teacher, there was nothing to worry about.

“South Shou Chen, North Hidden Official” – this saying had previously been used to praise the young man of Sword Qi Great Wall. Surely, after a few more years, it wouldn’t reverse, with him, Shou Chen, relying on the other’s reputation?

Beside him was Zhou Qinggao, his junior brother. After returning home, his natural endowments were no less impressive than those of Fei Ran, the new master of Crescent Moon Mountain.

Because Zhou Qinggao had obtained the molted shell of a Throne Great Demon, and not just one.

The Great Demons harmonized by Zhou Mi included the Fourteenth Realm cultivator known as Lu Fayen, as well as several other Throne Great Demons: Bai Ying, who served as an external incarnation, along with Qie Yun, Yao Jia, and Huang Luan.

Zhou Mi consumed the essence of the Great Dao, while the remaining shells of the Great Demons were dispensable to him. Not entirely useless, but of little significance. Rather than take them, it was better to leave them behind.

Thus, the seemingly ordinary youth of Jia Shen Camp, with wooden clogs, Zhou Qinggao, who became his closed-door disciple, became the one who reaped the most unexpected gains.

Before ascending to the heavens, Zhou Mi used the true form of the withered bone Throne Great Demon, Bai Ying, to create an external incarnation of Zhou Qinggao’s Yang Spirit. He then refined and integrated the remains of the Great Demons Huang Luan and Qie Yun into Zhou Qinggao’s soul and spirit, building a brand-new Bridge of Longevity, allowing him to ascend to the heavens in a single step.
