Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 1502 - 528: So It Was You! So It Was You!
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, then quickly realized in shock that the World Venerable had quietly awakened?
Qian Wanqiu glanced at the disciples, then withdrew his gaze:
"It seems that he did not inform you."
The disciples either seemed thoughtful, embarrassed, or innocent, since naturally, if he hadn’t informed them, they wouldn’t know the situation.
Kong Ming respectfully said, "Ancestor Master, do you need to review the major events of recent years?"
"No need." Qian Wanqiu waved his hand, "After entering the Sea of Realms, we have already reviewed the major events of the last thousand years."
Ancestor Master Zhou Tian looked at the disciples and spoke sternly, "In the past hundred years, what insights have you gained from contemplating the True Spirit Path? Soon, I will personally test your progress in your Daoist career over the epochs."
The disciples hurriedly expressed their respect.
"Testing the Daoist career as soon as we return." Miao Fa Sword Immortal shook his head, looked at his disciples, and with hands on hips boldly said, "Don’t worry, I am different from your Uncle Master Zhou Tian, too lazy to test you, after all, you don’t compete anyway."
The disciples led by Kong Ming were speechless: "..."
Kong Ming suddenly pleaded guilty: "Ancestor Master, over a hundred years ago, I led poorly in a battle with the Heavenly Court, causing losses in various lineages. Please punish me."
"Oh, Kong Ming has mixed into the leadership of the Dao Lineage? As expected of my disciple, not losing face!" Miao Fa Sword Immortal’s face was filled with delight.
Among those present, many newcomers were seeing the three Ancestor Masters for the first time and felt somewhat dreamy, while the seasoned disciples smiled with insidious glances cast at Kong Ming.
"This matter is indeed somewhat tricky..."
Qian Wanqiu rarely fell into a brief silence. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
This scene made Kong Ming and others feel anxious.
Although they had mentally prepared, witnessing the return of the three Ancestor Masters, they felt overwhelmed, unable to reverse the past.
Zhou Tian explained, "This matter has widespread implications, not only involving Doumu Yuanjun and the Heavenly Court, but also the enlightenment history of the World Venerable and Dream God Hela. According to the covenant, we usually do not interfere with the enlightenment history of Transcenders."
Kong Ming sighed, indeed, can even the Ancestor Master of Dao not accommodate?
Qian Wanqiu suddenly spoke: "The disciples who died in battle have entered Reincarnation. Kong Ming, with my Dharma Seal, you can sense their whereabouts, go and bring them back to the Void Realm."
Kong Ming suddenly rejoiced, "Was it the World Venerable’s intervention?!"
Zhou Tian gave a strange look: "Has he rebuilt the reincarnation system of the old Netherworld Lord?"
Qian Wanqiu nodded: "The legacy of You should have fallen into his hands. It seems his descent is intricately connected to You, and the seven representing the Seven Spirits in the Federation might just be You’s smokescreen."
Zhou Tian expressed disbelief: "Is it really so mysterious? How long has You been dead?"
Qian Wanqiu sighed: "To be honest, the more it seems this way, the more I suspect whether You’s actions back then were a helpless move or deliberately entering the situation."
"You suspect he intentionally sent himself to death?" Zhou Tian asked gravely, suggesting a hypothesis, "Is there a possibility that Taoist Friend Ji is the reincarnation of the Netherworld Lord’s Heaven and Earth dual soul?"
Qian Wanqiu was silent for a moment, seemingly calculating something before shaking his head: "It’s not possible, otherwise he couldn’t have attained the Other Shore Realm of True Spirit Unity."
Zhou Tian reminded, "According to the signs in the Time River, when World Honored Taoist Friend attained True Spirit Unity, He Donghuang, the federation’s summation of the Netherworld Lord’s Seven Spirits, had already disappeared."
Qian Wanqiu responded indifferently: "It wasn’t then that he attained True Spirit Unity, Heart Certificate of the Other Shore."
Zhou Tian was taken aback: "Then when was it?"
"From the beginning, it was inherent." Qian Wanqiu calmly said, "In this realm, all beings go towards the Other Shore but cannot reach it; yet this person defied the path, voluntarily coming from the Other Shore into the Bitter Sea, pulling the True Spirit Heavenly Rank for the world, as if lifting the world to the Other Shore... So he cannot possibly be You."
Zhou Tian was momentarily speechless.
Even they, having attained the Great Freedom Dao Realm, found it difficult to glimpse the Other Shore Realm, let alone stepping into the Other Shore and voluntarily coming out.
"I am not equal to him." Zhou Tian sighed, "If in the end, it is him, I see no problem."
"World Honored Buddhas desire all beings to awaken to the Buddha’s insights, thus descending to Po Suo..." Miao Fa Sword Immortal whispered, then jokingly said, "Is Taoist Friend Ji truly here to save the world?"
Zhou Tian scratched his head.
Qian Wanqiu did not speak.
Miao Fa Sword Immortal stared at Qian Wanqiu, "Why aren’t you speaking? Could it be that I’ve really hit the mark?"
Qian Wanqiu helplessly shook his head: "I am observing the Boundary Sea Path."
"Is it the True Spirit Immortal Path?" Miao Fa Sword Immortal leaned forward, "What insights do you have, share them."
"In summary, it’s four words: True Self Nature." Qian Wanqiu’s eyes began showing waves, "It seems this Taoist Friend Ji, on the Tao path, has a significant portion occupied by Ten Thousand Skills."
Zhou Tian also leaned forward with curiosity, "Then doesn’t that align with you? Is this one considered a Great Dao Ancestor now?"
"Different paths of the Dao ultimately converge, how can there be a collision or not? Does your body of Heaven and Earth Universe not involve Ten Thousand Skills?" Qian Wanqiu laughed, "As for Great Dao Ancestor..."
He pondered: "It’s hard to say; if he truly stepped into the Returning to Truth Domain, given his situation, he would probably start with combat power at the Great Dao Ancestor level."
"How so?" Miao Fa asked with a glint of curiosity, "Is it due to Merit or Mental Cultivation?"
Qian Wanqiu whispered: "If I’m not mistaken, the newly transcended one in this epoch is a part of his Dao Foundation."
Miao Fa was shocked: "What did you say?!"
"I am only speculating." Qian Wanqiu explained, "I carefully watched the time flow of the battle from a hundred years ago, some parts were hard to explain, but if that Dream God had already become a part of Ji Jingqiu’s Daoist career, then it makes sense."
