Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree Chapter 880 - 322: Heavenly Demon, World Venerable, Stand-In

Ji Jingqiu raised his eyebrows and "looked" at Lady La in the Inner Realm.

The latter snorted coldly, "What are you looking at for? Once my true form appears, the first one I’ll kill is you."

Ji Jingqiu chuckled.

"What good is it to release Hel? Creating crisis and chaos, forcing several Divine Lords to withdraw for defense, probing the Federation’s contingencies?" Ji Anquan continued his self-dialogue, analyzing the pros and cons.

Soon, he seed to find the answer, squinting his eyes, "I hope the Wanwu Association isn’t involved. If they are, then those guys can all just go to hell."

"Why do you say that?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, not understanding how this guy linked the matter to the Wanwu Association.

"A Divine Weapon left by Marshal He to suppress Hel."

Ji Anquan said briefly,

"Back then, he favored Zhang Tiancheng, bestowing him with a legacy. After Zhang Tiancheng beca a Grandmaster, he went back to visit, and sohow it was rumored that this Divine Weapon desired Zhang Tiancheng, but because it was needed to suppress Hel’s true form, they were fated not to et."

Ji Jingqiu was speechless; this rumor was indeed absurd.

Moreover, if it truly was soone from the Wanwu Association, do they think that after releasing Hel, Senior Xuan Yi would voluntarily seek out Zhang Tiancheng, who is nowhere to be found?

At this mont, Ji Jingqiu doubted whether Zhang Tiancheng had used so ans on these people; otherwise, why resort to such asures?

"There are also so other historical reasons." Ji Anquan pondered, "At that ti, you don’t actually need to co. Though the Four Guardian Stars seem vulnerably defended, the Snow Ancestor of the ng Family has already been invited to the Four Guardian Stars to preside. It is currently one of the most fortified places in the entire Great Universe."

As expected.

Ji Jingqiu understood that since the Snow Ancestor was there, he wouldn’t join the commotion.

"If you’re feeling really bored, you can co and take a look around." Ji Anquan added.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head and said, "It’s not interesting, just a bunch of worthless foes, not worth a trip. If they want to design a eting with , do I have to oblige? I’d lose face."

"Alright then, just focus on your cultivation."

"I’m preparing to make a trip to the Nine States soon, to accelerate the cultivation of the Three Calamities," Ji Jingqiu said, "There are no enemies within the Federation worth my attention anymore."

"Okay."

...

"Heaven and Earth have the Sun and Moon. The first thing a Heavenly King must do is hang a ’real’ Sun and Moon in the Inner World. Afterward, the Sun and Moon will alternately rise, intertwining Yin Yang Qi to evolve the Five Elents."

In the highest floating island of the Nine Palaces Ancestral Court, within a lavish yet understated hall, Ji Jingqiu sat as a guest, while an elder before him spoke eloquently:

"Among them, the Moon is the sect of Taiyin; the Sun is the sect of the Solar. The history of the Nine Palaces records that when the Great Universe was first opened, apart from the five Innate Gods, there were so accompanying gods, among which were the Moon God and the Yang God, the first Sun and Moon born of the Great Universe."

"It is said that many Suns and Moons, including those of various realms, can be regarded as their ’descendants’."

Another elder clicked his tongue and said:

"Junior Brother Ji must rember, being born early has its advantages, gaining an unchallenged Dao for doing nothing. In the future, when you encounter those who call themselves ’Moon Palace Seed’ or ’Great Sun Species’ in the Great Universe, either don’t provoke them, or if you do, make sure to clean up after."

"They cling together, referring to themselves as the Star Spirit Clan, grounding of Innate Divines. If not handled cleanly, it can cause harm. Once the rules of the Great Universe loosen, these beings, nearly immortal as Heaven and Earth, will awaken one by one."

"Does each Sun and Moon potentially harbor a God?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.

The elder from the Great Mirage Heavenly Palace, nad Liu Xu, shook his head:

"It’s rare, stars that can give birth to spirituality are one in a million, and those qualified to call themselves Innate Divines are even rarer, all are uniquely ’singular’, starting at the Heavenly King level, but they often are born with their limits."

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

"I heard that Junior Brother Ji’s Dao Establishnt Divine Ability evolves with a visible bright moon in the Heaven and Earth Dojo, clearly matching the Dao. This ’Moon Soul’ is sourced from a Moon Palace Seed, perfectly suiting Junior Brother Ji,"

Liu Xu finally smiled and presented a jade box.

Upon hearing Lady La say it was a good item suitable for him, Ji Jingqiu bashfully smiled, "Since it’s a gift from Senior Brother, I shall gladly accept it."

Liu Xu grinned, "No need to be polite, Junior Brother. What is one Moon Soul? My Great Mirage Heavenly Palace disciples in the Great Universe still need a bit of care from you."

"Senior Brother is too polite. With that Mirage Dragon at my place, there’s no reason not to care for it."

The Mirage Dragon, cherished by the lineage of the Great Mirage Heavenly Palace, was the "foundation" of the Tao Palace in East Three Bright Star, daily swallowing clouds and lounging in the sky above.

Not long ago, that Mirage Dragon leveraged the power of East Three Bright Star to transition out of its juvenile stage.

Upon ntioning the Mirage Dragon, Liu Xu’s face blossod with a smile, "Thanks to Junior Brother’s care, that little one could grow up early."

For the Nine Palaces, the Mirage Dragon is a strategic foundation. As the major forces of the Nine Palaces migrate, if no sufficient foothold is found, the Mirage Dragon can create a fake realm in the void.

Beside him, Lu Tong asked, "What brings you to the Nine States, Jing Qiu?"

"Two things."

Ji Jingqiu candidly stated his purpose.

After hearing his explanation, Lu Tong and the Heavenly Kings from each palace pondered for a mont, ntioning a need to report and discuss with the high command before giving him an answer.

After all, many forces other than the Nine Palaces were acting against the Buddha Country, and Ji Jingqiu’s desire to gather the remnants of Buddha Country could not be solely represented by the Nine Palaces, requiring negotiations.

"Junior Brother plans to visit the Ancient Road Will again?" soone exclaid, "I’ve never heard of anyone entering when the Ancient Road isn’t open. Is this what being the Primordial First ans?"

"Hmm, the Ancient Road is not short on resources, particularly its fragnted paradises and planes; the Dao’s divine charm within is like a tonic to martial artists above the Heavenly Person level. Junior Brother is fortunate."

"Indeed!"

"Has Junior Brother Ji found the current Great Universe too dull?"

Suddenly, soone asked.

Ji Jingqiu’s gaze fell.

A middle-aged man smiled faintly, "Without rivals, it must be quite dull for Junior Brother Ji, right? Why not try crossing the battlefield to et the Divine Prohibitions of other forces?"

"Oh? What do you an?"

The middle-aged man smiled, "The various families of the Nine States are busy migrating back to the Great Universe. From what I know, over a dozen are looking for a foothold in the Great Universe. Junior Brother Ji could take up a ’freelancing’ fight by passing through other Ascension Platforms. I could help you make the connections."

"The Martial Artists of the Three Thousand Yanfu don’t like Junior Brother Ji, but here in the Nine States, we have no taboos!"

Hearing this, Ji Jingqiu was suddenly intrigued.

Indeed, there was nothing exciting within the Federation at present. Either it wasn’t needed, or it was calculated by the Federation, and the several Divine Lords wanted him to lay low for a while...

"I’ll think about it." Ji Jingqiu entertained a few thoughts.

Shortly after, upon contacting the Ancient Road Will, he had a thought to reach out.

[You’re back. Oh—have you already broken through to the Heavenly Person level?]

A slightly surprised voice entered, it was the Ancient Road Will.

"I was lucky enough to break through and step into the Heavenly Person level," Ji Jingqiu said. "This ti I’ve co to request so cultivation resources from you, Senior."
