Beside the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, there appeared a lifelike Heaven-Barking Dog.

'Can enhance Divine Statue Quality by collecting exclusive Holy Objects of True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, Monkey King, unlocking more available Divine Powers'

——

Both Divine Statues each acquired their own exclusive Holy Object, not only enhancing quality, but also providing Sun Yan with new Assistance Divine Power.

Upon seeing the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao's statue promoted to Immortal Grade, it astonishingly provided him with a Divine Power named 'Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill.'

Sun Yan was taken aback; everyone knows how powerful the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill of the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao is. To cultivate it into Physical Body Ascension is no joke.

Does that mean he has now learned this cultivation technique, and can start down the path of Physical Body Ascension?

True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao, Monkey King, himself starting on the path of Physical Body Ascension, this is quite reasonable.

"Didn't expect you to gain such rewards from your trip this time; I can now reveal my form freely."

A voice suddenly echoed in the room, and Sun Yan quickly turned, seeing a man, eight-foot tall, clad in a white robe, holding a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, leaning against the wall, looking at him calmly and speaking.

A golden line on his brow with golden eyes shimmering, a Mountain-Cracking Axe hanging on his waist—who else could it be but the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao?

"True Monarch!"

Sun Yan was both shocked and delighted, hardly expecting the True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao to appear so suddenly before him.

Manifestation! This is indeed a manifestation.

In ancient times, whoever saw it wouldn't immediately kneel and bow a few times; this is a renowned Immortal.

Sun Yan was filled with excitement, hurriedly about to kneel and bow, but just as his knees were about to hit the ground, an invisible force directly lifted his body from the ground.

"No need for formalities; you have brought me these Holy Objects, allowing me to freely manifest, which has already made me quite delighted. Now that you have also gained my Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, you count as half my disciple, so there's no need for such formality in the future." Yang Jian said plainly.

Hearing the True Monarch acknowledge him as a disciple, Sun Yan didn't say a word and directly knelt down to bow: "Master True Monarch, this bow is deserved, disciple Sun Yan greets the master."

"As you wish."

Yang Jian nodded, quite satisfied.

He didn't let Sun Yan bow, that's one thing, Sun Yan insisted on bowing, that's another.

"Master, earlier, those people in my graveyard, where have they gone, do you, as the Tomb Guardian, know?"

After standing up, Sun Yan asked worriedly.

As Tomb Guardian, logically Yang Jian would be guarding in secret, should know the situation, if he could get some clues, it would be the best news.

"Yesterday, the void of this area fragmented and connected to another place, your friends were all sucked over, and now they are probably trapped there unable to return. But don't worry, when the void fractures next time, I can send you over to find them." Yang Jian said.

Upon hearing this answer, Sun Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

This is indeed fortunate amid misfortune. Didn't expect this Bloody Sunday to come so suddenly; if it were a day or two later, Sun Yan wouldn't be as flustered as now.

"Master, with your power, can't you shatter the void?" Sun Yan asked curiously.

"What you see of me now is just an incarnation. I can watch over this area for you, but if you talk about more techniques, I can't fully exhibit them."

Yang Jian fondled the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade in his arms, his eyes deep.

"Incarnation? Then master, is your true self still on Earth? Does the Celestial Court really exist in this world?"

Sun Yan's understanding of Immortals was all from mythological stories, and before Yang Jian appeared, it was all just legend.

But once Yang Jian appeared, it was enough to prove that mythology and legends indeed exist.

This significance is akin to humans discovering the real existence of dragons, breaking human understanding and worldview from ancient to modern times.

Overturn all bases of current human history.

At this moment, witnessing Yang Jian's manifestation means that the Monkey King is real as well, and so are other Immortals.

This news already made Sun Yan tremble with excitement.

"Absolute Isolation, many matters even if you know now are meaningless, only adding to worries; existence is indeed real, but whether still in this realm, cannot be said for certain. Some may have residual presence like mine in this realm; some have long parted. You need not further understand, it is meaningless."

Yang Jian maintained his calm tone, but the content revealed in these words shook Sun Yan's heart and soul.

He wasn't foolish and quickly grasped what Yang Jian intended to convey.

Absolute Isolation, an ancient mythological reference, meaning heaven and earth, gods and humans each handle their duties without interference.

"Classic of Mountains and Seas: Great Wilderness West Classic" mentions that in the great wilderness, there's a mountain called Sun-Moon Mountain, the Celestial Pivot. Wu Ji Heavenly Gate, where sun and moon enter. There's a god, human-faced and armless, feet inverted and belonging to the head mountain, named Xu. Zhuang Xu begat old Tong, old Tong begat Chong and Li; the emperor ordered Chong to offer to heaven, and Li to conduit to earth. Earth nourished darkness, residing in extreme west, managing the routes of sun, moon, and stars.

"Historical Records: Preface of the Grand Historian" mentions that in the era of Zhuang Xu, he ordered south registrar Chong to manage heaven and north registrar Li to manage the earth. During Tang-Yu's time, following Chong-Li's succession, coinciding with Xia and Shang, Chong-Li succeeded the celestial and terrestrial order."

This relates to one of the Five Ancient Emperors, second in rank behind the Yellow Emperor, among Huaxia's ancient ancestors, Zhuang Xu.

At the time, Gonggong's anger struck Buzhou Mountain, breaking the celestial pillar, severing the earth's connection, causing heaven to tilt northwest, leaving sun, moon, and stars there, while the earth's east-southeast incomplete, causing all rivers to flow there.

Zhuang Xu then ordered the destruction of the Celestial Ladder, severing the connection between celestial beings and earthly mortals, known as 'Absolute Isolation.'

It is said a long time ago, there was a Celestial Ladder between heaven and earth, allowing mortals to reach heaven, while Celestial Beings often came to earth.

On earth, those with great power, 'Witches,' could communicate with gods, possessing Divine Powers, summoning god's strength, calling wind and rain.

The populace greatly believed in the words of these Witches, even above the Human Emperor; this situation was extremely unfavorable, prompting Zhuang Xu's specific decree.

After destroying the Celestial Ladder, Zhuang Xu remained unsettled; although earth's populace couldn't ascend, celestial beings still could descend.

To thoroughly resolve this, Zhuang Xu sent Chong and Li to regulate heaven and earth, finally severing communication between gods and humans.

With Yang Jian's era, though he didn't experience Absolute Isolation, his statement implies that those mythological gods have now faded, probably due to some impact from Absolute Isolation.

This realization led Sun Yan to a bold assumption.

That Earth has been entirely cut off, truly lacking any godly presence, even if any remain, they are merely avatars like Yang Jian.

"You're starting to think wildly, aren't you?"

Yang Jian softly smiled seeing Sun Yan's expression: "The more you know, the more you think, leading to more suffering. These matters have no relevance to you; why expend your mind and energy on them, merely wasting spirit and damaging heart, it's utterly without benefit."

Sun Yan nodded earnestly: "I understand, master."
