Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree Chapter 767 - 286: Hundred Veins Conference (Part 1)

East Three Bright Star.

As the Hundred Veins Conference draws near, even the fiercest disputes among the Federation temporarily slow down.

All parties want to know what level Ji Jingqiu has reached after months of silence. Has he firmly established himself in the Heart Image, or has he advanced in the Heart Image Realm as other Heavenly Persons predicted?

As the date approaches.

Various Dao Lineages gradually arrive at this star.

This ti, all the lineages co, with dozens of Heavenly Persons arriving simultaneously, each a leader of their respective family, personally leading the team to show the importance they attach to this conference.

Besides that, many of Ji Jingqiu’s old friends have also traveled to East Three Bright Star.

"Everyone, long ti no see!"

"Hey, that woman Yue Yourong hasn’t returned?"

"No, Yourong is still in the west."

"Wushuang, you also returned from the west, didn’t Lei co with you?"

"Zu Shu had a sudden matter to attend to; he returned to his clan, said it was related to his ancestors."

"Ah, Lei’s ancestor rose from the dead?" Diao Xingyun said in astonishnt.

Everyone: "..."

Diao Xingyun chuckled: "Just joking. I heard it too; it seems to be related to their sage’s heritage in the Three Thousand Yanfutu years ago."

"A prestigious family." Bian Rong laughed, "Our Heavenly God Dojo can’t compare; we only rose two thousand years ago."

The group walked side by side out of the spaceport, suddenly stopping to look at the towering building far away that sat high in the sky.

"Wait a minute..." Diao Xingyun murmured in disbelief, "What is that, a palace in the clouds? Such extravagance?!"

"Earlier on the spaceship, I didn’t see this palace." Bian Rong muttered.

A majestic Tao Palace stood among the clouds, seemingly occupied by a great mirage, exhaling thick clouds, condensing into a vast collection of pavilions and towers, varying in height, shining golden under the sunlight, centered around the essential Tao Palace, showcasing the grandeur befitting an immortal abode.

"That’s the dojo of Ancestor Ji." Soone appeared behind them stealthily, smiling warmly, "Are you Diao Xingyun, Yin Wushuang, Bian Rong? Please, follow ."

"And you are?" Yin Wushuang asked politely.

The three of them could sense that the stranger was stronger than them, seemingly a Martial Artist of the Heart Image Realm.

"I am Qing Huan, from the Nine Palaces, currently serving under Ancestor Ji."

"Is that a Great Mirage?" Yin Wushuang asked suddenly as he looked up at the cloud-bridged palace.

He recognized the mythical creature, derived from the word "Mirage", capable of exhaling mirage air, creating illusions, deceiving the mind.

"That’s a juvenile Mirage Dragon, specially loaned from the Great Mirage Heavenly Palace." Qing Huan said with embarrassnt, "The ti given by Uncle Master Ji was too short; we only managed to build a central Tao Palace; the other buildings currently rely on this Mirage Dragon as a supplent."

Yin Wushuang stayed silent, knowing that Mirage Dragons are a step above the Great Mirage, the pinnacle mythical creatures.

The travelogues left by the Ancestor Master recorded witnessing a Mirage Dragon spewing mirage breath, creating a new world with real beings, all possessing intelligence. Such capabilities exceed illusions and border on fantasy.

He hadn’t expected the Nine Palaces to keep one.

Qing Huan gazed at the dragon’s silhouette fleetingly visible among the clouds, reflecting:

"This creature is the heartthrob of the Great Mirage Heavenly Palace; borrowing it took considerable persuasion from several Ancestor Masters."

"Everyone, this way please."

Qing Huan led them towards the upper Tao Palace but then noticed a few n and won with indifferent expressions, extraordinary bearing, and clothes that seed out of place with the rest had appeared from behind.

No extra words were exchanged.

Almost instinctively, their energies entangled.

Even with Qing Huan’s assistance, the situation was overwhelmingly one-sided against them.

They were still in the Chains Realm, while their adversaries were the top Martial Artists in the Heart Image.

Until a strand of Sword Intent from the sa school as Yin Wushuang entered the fray, joining Wushuang’s side, forming a triangular formation against the opposing party.

Qing Huan calmly said: "Everyone, on this star, rember to be careful with your words and actions."

The opposing group exchanged glances, gave him a significant look, then passed by them without another word.

Yin Wushuang turned back, saw who had arrived, and smilingly said: "Uncle Master Jiang!"

The newcor was Jiang Lan, the Daoist two generations prior at the Heavenly Sword Dojo, once appeared at a Ke family gathering and was praised by the family’s Heavenly Person for having a burgeoning Sword Embryo.

Jiang Lan nodded towards Wushuang and the others, then looked at the departing figures, squinting:

"Recently, many uninvited guests have arrived in the Federation, all of considerable strength, mainly at the Heart Image Peak. You all should be cautious."

Diao Xingyun frowned, suddenly asking: "Was the recent ambush faced by Li Chengfeng related to these people?"

A short while ago, a dozen of their generation, Li Chengfeng included, were attacked by unidentified individuals, barely escaping with serious injuries. This incident caused a significant stir within the Federation.

"The ti doesn’t match." Jiang Lan shook his head, "These people appeared in large numbers slightly later, but it’s possible so entered the Great Universe earlier."

Jiang Lan paused: "Outside East Three Bright Star, you better be careful. So of these guys act lawlessly; you aren’t yet at a level to confront them."

"Have there been any confrontations already?" Bian Rong asked.

Jiang Lan nodded: "Indeed, whether they challenge us or we seek them out, I’ve personally dealt with a few. My record is two wins and one loss, but realistically, they should all be losses considering I’m older than them by more than just a year."
