Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1164 - 415: Rising Star, Ji Jingqiu’s Killer Move

Past events are like smoke.

Ning Fengyuan reminisced about the young fellow who rose under his watchful gaze before they departed and had just returned from the Ancient Road, a realm merely at the Divine Travel Peak…

Li Yuanli pondered on the name Ji Jingqiu, which he only heard about when he was preparing to leave the Federation after his retreat ended. Back then, Ji Jingqiu was just an emerging talent of the Federation…

Ke Qingliu recalled that back in the day, Sir Mu wanted to throw Ji Jingqiu onto the path of the Hundred Veins test before he left. They all thought Sir Mu was too hasty, but it was proven afterwards…

Ji Boyu wiped his sweat, feeling that destiny was one of the messiest he'd encountered, comparable to some secret calculations involving his ancestors back in the day.

"That's not a funny joke."

Finally, they all shook their heads in agreement.

If it was indeed the Ji Jingqiu they knew, this scene would be too mind-blowing.

Divine Travel Peak, emerging talent... That was quite impressive.

Ji Linyuan looked at the "forerunners" in front of him with a bit of sentiment, finally feeling truly integrated into this small group.

Truth be told, he also found it unbelievable, but instinctively felt that the most absurd thing was the truth.

"I think our team should have a name—let's call it 'Forerunners'," Ji Linyuan suggested.

The few were stunned for a moment, then glanced askance at him.

This little brat has been getting increasingly bold lately, daring to mock these old seniors.

Ji Linyuan shook his head, realizing the "forerunners" misunderstood him; he was clearly self-deprecating by including himself in the Forerunners team.

He sincerely mused, thinking he was already "special" enough, looking down on heroes, pursuing the ancient sages of millennia past, confident living in the same era to rival the Seven Marshals.

But unexpectedly, his greatest achievement this lifetime turned out to be leaving a legacy for the Federation...

Qu Chengyang decided to participate in the demon elimination campaign; naturally, everyone could only follow suit. Ning Fengyuan initially wanted to dissuade him but, after some thought, also felt like verifying whether this Ji Jingqiu was the Ji Jingqiu they knew.

Soon after, they joined the demon elimination team.

On the way, they also searched for people from the Netherworld.

The six major families maintained some connections within the Three Thousand Yanfu, but unfortunately, they didn't spot any familiar faces; instead, members of the Mayfly Palace joined in.

Among them, someone instantly locked onto Ji Linyuan, with a harsh look in their eyes, trying to apprehend him, but was repelled by Qu Chengyang's cold gaze.

"If there's a problem, have Luo Sheng come see me," Qu Chengyang said indifferently.

Having just become Heavenly Monarch, he needed a major battle to prove himself. Recruiting Ji Linyuan and others under his command was both a favor to Ning Fengyuan and due to Ji Linyuan's indeed remarkable talent.

After all, passing the Mayfly Palace's Taoist career path suggested a fair chance of breaking through to True Saint in the future.

And ultimately, targeting Ji Linyuan was Luo Sheng's Heavenly Monarch, who had also recently broken through, the most suitable opponent for him in this Land of Dao.

The Heavenly King under Luo Sheng seemed to finally understand why several waves of people headed out, yet couldn't even capture Ji Linyuan, with no word sent back.

He glared fiercely at Ji Linyuan and transmitted:

"You'd better pray that after the demon elimination, this man can still protect you."

Ji Linyuan and the others didn't even glance at this person, directly ignoring him.

The crowd remained perplexed over whether this Ji Jingqiu was the same as the one they knew.

Compared to that, Luo Sheng was trivial, no match for the several waves of subordinates they had already eliminated.

Even if Luo Sheng did show up, Ji Linyuan's side had specific countermeasures against him, courtesy of two True Saints from his Dao Lineage.

This time, Ji Linyuan completely used himself as bait to fish for Heavenly Monarchs from other Dao Lineages.

"What if it really is that kid? We can't help him, can we?"

"With such a vast lineup… Unless Elder Ke returns in full strength, completes the evolution of the Heaven Opening Divine Power, and advances to Heavenly Monarch, only then might we speak a few words."

"If it truly is that kid, considering he can conquer Heavenly Monarchs, are you still worried about him? Might as well ponder how we escape first."

"What's there to ponder? Elder Ji already said it, accumulate enough, and fortune will come."

...

...

At the forefront of the demon elimination team was the first to trigger Mayfly Palace's Qing Zhou.

Qing Zhou forged ahead, rescuing some Mayfly Palace's Heavenly Kings along the way.

As for others from the Gate, upon learning of Ji Jingqiu's methods, he couldn't care less anymore. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Witnessing Ji Jingqiu possess combat power rivaling Heavenly Monarch and still daring to harbor hostility and murderous intent towards him, dying was deserved.

The majesty of Heavenly Monarch cannot be profaned.

Qing Zhou traveled retrograde among the crowns and arrived at the outskirts of Chaohua Mountain dojo.

He was not unfamiliar with this place, having besieged it for two or three years with Luo Sheng and others before. But upon the dojo's opening, they discovered they couldn't enter at all!

Whatever the purpose, Chao Ge established "Defensive Forces" outside the dojo far beyond imagination.

Unless each family united sincerely, entering might be possible.

Before the families made a decision, news of a Tribulation Embryo emerged.

Ahead, in the dark cosmos, a vast mountain range sprawled across the starry sky.

This mountain range and its central peak were truly magnificent, towering into the expansive heavens, surrounded by numerous Star Domains and ancient stars.

For a moment, it was unclear whether this mountain range had soared into the starry sky or if the starry sky encompassed the mountain range.

Regrettably, there wasn't a single living species left on the life planets encircled by the mountains, only desolate landscapes remained; the disciples of the former Chaohua Mountain dojo were either all deceased or had been relocated prematurely.
