After gaining reprieve from Ji Jingqiu, Wuzhou, who had long been at the bottom tier since entering the Inner World, finally obtained a moment of freedom, restoring his true form and demeanor. All things in Heaven and Earth followed his heart to "turn."

Ji Jingqiu had long received warnings from Master Mu—

Wuzhou's Daoist career, among All Saints of the Sea of Realms, wasn't top-notch, but in a true life-and-death battle, regardless of place, regardless of time, over ninety percent of the True Saints would meet death.

The difference is only whether sooner or later.

The remaining ten percent would face each other in a stalemate; if Wuzhou wasn't confident of his victory, he wouldn't initiate an attack, and the opponent wouldn't be able to find Wuzhou who remained unseen.

Unless Wuzhou willingly revealed himself, few could locate his true self.

The final one percent of the ten percent... only they would have some chance of suppressing him.

Wuzhou's Tao is undefeatable, a strand of spirit can almost evolve into his true self, yet the true self remains untraceable.

In this instant, Ji Jingqiu truly witnessed a part of Wuzhou's power.

A Divider painstakingly treated by Master Mu, even after complete release, reached a Heavenly Venerable level, and was climbing, seemingly able to regenerate the true self from it.

Ji Jingqiu used Wuzhou as cultivation material, while Wuzhou invaded Ji Jingqiu's Inner Universe to elevate his own realm.

This was Ji Jingqiu's first equal-ranking Tao debate with Wuzhou, akin to a Dao contest.

Ji Jingqiu sat calmly, expressionless, dismissing Wuzhou's transformed Heavenly Demon Dharma Form as an Outer Path technique.

While Wuzhou adapted to the situation, transforming him into thousands amidst the rain-like chaos, countless faces surged into a chaotic torrent, seemingly ready to completely swallow Ji Jingqiu's Mental Realm.

If Wuzhou truly succeeded in swallowing, the one who finally exited might not be Ji Jingqiu.

But to Wuzhou's dismay, Ji Jingqiu remained unmoved without relying on the Bodhi Tree, impervious to external invasions.

Even the terrifying "truth" he exposed couldn't shake Ji Jingqiu's Mental Realm in the slightest.

Wuzhou chuckled; indeed, he was a monster surpassing Mu Shitian.

"Since you aim to slay the Heart Monkey, how can you strictly abide by your heart field? Naturally, enter the fray with your body, witnessing All Living Beings."

From above, Wuzhou's voice resonated.

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes, stood up, and actively entered Wuzhou's Divine Power Techniques, refining his heart and seeking Tao through Wuzhou's method.

Outer Heaven Demon, adept at refining hearts.

The two thus embarked on an invisible spiritual contest using the Inner Universe as an arena.

Yet Wuzhou, even as Ji Jingqiu willingly stepped into "Divine Skills," couldn't shake Ji Jingqiu's Spirit God or transform him into a Heavenly Demon.

Even...

He was being infiltrated by Ji Jingqiu's Heavenly Nature!

In such a stalemate, Ji Jingqiu slowly frowned, having gradually opened up his defenses, yet Wuzhou still hadn't succeeded.

He suspected Wuzhou deliberately set a trap, aiming to jeopardize him. Surely not a word of Heavenly Demon's could be trusted!

Ji Jingqiu pondered, seems this guy hasn't gotten drenched enough usually.

At this moment.

Hel's leisurely voice came:

"Ji Jingqiu, show him your Heavenly Demon Transformation."

Ji Jingqiu was startled, wondering how it related to his Heavenly Demon Transformation?

"Heavenly Demon Transformation?" Wuzhou became interested. Ji Jingqiu's self-developed Divine Skill Heavenly Demon Transformation was already known to him, but he had never seen its complete form.

Since becoming a Heavenly King, Ji Jingqiu rarely showcased this Divine Skill.

Upon entering Heavenly King, the strong foes he faced almost always had insight into their Heavenly Destiny, understanding Tao Realm like Sitting Forget—invading their Heart Spirit World was overly strenuous.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Path was never of frontal assault.

This wasn't a skill adept at using weakness against strength.

"Try it on me." Wuzhou proposed, temporarily withdrawing his Divine Skills.

Ji Jingqiu lifted his hand, a single thought like a seed took root in Wuzhou, who was unguarded.

Wuzhou sat cross-legged in the Void, refining the Heart Demon Seed within.

His expression gradually shifted from initial curiosity to furrowing brows.

Wuzhou suddenly opened his eyes, inquiring: "Have you used this Divine Skill technique on yourself?"

Ji Jingqiu hesitated slightly, then nodded.

In the past, during the One Qi to Three Pure Ones slaying No Heaven, he also applied the Heavenly Demon Transformation technique.

He reverse-engineered Heavenly Demon Transformation, with several Divine Lords assisting, managing in the Heavenly Human Realm to create a clone.

"No wonder I couldn't awaken the demon in your heart; it is your Heart Demon, your Heart Monkey." Wuzhou shook his head. "Before he completely vanishes, you can't manifest a second Heart Monkey."

Ji Jingqiu lost his composure, indicating he had long slayed the Heart Monkey?

No Heaven is Heart Monkey.

Then, is Miesheng Taoist the Wild Horse?

Or is the Supreme True Buddha the Wild Horse?

"How long since you've seen your clone?" Wuzhou abruptly posed another question.

"What are you trying to say?" Ji Jingqiu countered.

Wuzhou spoke slowly: "You must be aware of the true difficulties of Outer Heaven Demon."

The horror of Outer Heaven Demon lies in its unbounded nature, entirely mirroring the original body.

No matter how strong he becomes, Outer Heaven Demon will always be stronger.

Ji Jingqiu naturally understood this, saying, "With the help of several Divine Lords, combined with One Qi to Three Pure Ones, I built him a body, no longer purely a Heavenly Demon form, severing the unbounded traits."

Wuzhou pondered: "Mu Shitian's ways might not suit you. Either learn from He Donghuang of old or find your own path."

Ji Jingqiu slowly nodded, also contemplating this matter.
