Summary

A sudden, massive hand appears, prompting panic among the cultivators present. Despite their attempts to counter it, the hand exudes overwhelming pressure, revealing its identity as a Mahayana Supreme Being. The old Jiu Gui throws a wine gourd at the hand, which only slightly halts its advance before it captures Gu Xiu and retreats. Gu Xiu remains calm and chooses not to activate his Divine Soul Finger Bone, allowing the hand to take him. As the hand disappears, the surrounding forces react with urgency, determined to find Gu Xiu.
