Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1216 - 431: Netherworld Ambush, Death Demon’s Warning

"A bunch of lawless people! First time entering the Sea of Realms and they don't know a damn thing about the rules!" Kong Wu said expressionlessly.

Kong Xiao asked in confusion, "Aren't the rules of the Sea of Realms all about the survival of the fittest..."

Kong Wu glared at him and said:

"The matter is still under investigation, the Deputy Temple Master is personally leading the team to search for traces of the Netherworld's All Saints. What you need to do now is go to the Netherworld and redeem our honor."

"Now that the Killing Tribulation has passed, at most Ji Jingqiu is only at the early-middle period of a Heavenly King. It's something you can handle with a wave of your hand. Don't let this opportunity slip to another sect."

Kong Xiao said displeased, "Are there others going as well this time? What about my Heaven Opening Divine Power?"

"Star Sky Tower, Heavenly Cutting Sect... All forces that have lost a Heavenly Monarch will be seeking Ji Jingqiu for vengeance."

Kong Wu explained briefly and finally reminded,

"You set out first. You can still practice in your Uncle Master Jin Tuo's Inner Heaven and Earth while on the road. The death of Chao Ge has stirred significant waves in the Sea of Realms. With the 'tide' being so strong lately, it's a journey of twenty or thirty years to reach the Netherworld from here."

Kong Xiao said in a deep voice, "How can practicing within an Inner Heaven and Earth be the same as practicing in the temple?"

Kong Wu sighed, "Control yourself for now. It's about your several Uncle Masters. The temple hopes that after you capture Ji Jingqiu, you can exchange with the Netherworld's All Saints to get back your fellow disciples."

Kong Xiao asked in shock and doubt, "How many of our people have the Netherworld's All Saints captured?"

Kong Wu's face twitched, and finally, he said, "Be prepared, Jin Tuo will come for you."

At the end, Kong Wu thought for a moment, "I entrusted the Artifact Vein to craft a Heavenly Opening Divine Weapon for you, just in case. Go to the Artifact Vein and bring that Divine Weapon that is still nurturing."

Kong Xiao nodded expressionlessly.

Just as Kong Wu was about to leave.

Kong Xiao suddenly called out to his master, "Master, is there a type of Spirit Light among the forces cataloged by Returning to Truth Temple that can enhance all Divine Skills, ignoring rank, by at least half a tier?"

Kong Wu looked at him deeply before saying,

"No."

"If there really was such a Spirit Light that could ignore rank and enhance..."

He paused and then left, leaving only a faint statement:

"Then Transcendence would be within reach."

Kong Xiao remained silent.

Originally, he planned to fully develop the Hongmeng Opening Heaven Divine Power before seeking out the Buddha Master. It seems he has to protect the path for the Buddha Master in advance this time.

...

In the Sea of Realms.

Not long ago, the Netherworld's All Saints, who ambushed the disciples of Returning to Truth Temple, had already set foot on their way back.

"At this rate, we would need at least forty or fifty years to return to the Netherworld? This 'tide' keeps getting bigger."

The Void Emperor calculated for a while, casually dispersing the frontal attack from the tide of the Sea of Realms, frowning.

This Sea of Realms should actually be called the Sea of Void. It is the extremity of the void and can also be considered the source of the void.

They were inside it, enduring an invisible erosion every moment.

Not to mention the tides coming down head-on and the various high-risk 'natural disasters' in the Sea of Realms.

No wonder they all say the Sea of Realms is perilous.

"Forty or fifty years is nothing, I'm just afraid delay will bring change." Kong Xuan pondered, looking at the man next to him, "Taoist Friend, is there a shortcut? If you don't say, I'll have to find it myself."

The latter glared and said, "Do all your Netherworld people love to meddle in others' sea of memories like this?!"

Kong Xuan shrugged, "If you don't cooperate, Taoist Friend, I find it hard to act."

"Nonsense!"

The latter, who was the captured True Saint of Returning to Truth Temple, angrily said at this moment,

"I didn't say at the beginning?! You just didn't believe me! If you don't believe me, why capture me?!"

Kong Xuan couldn't help shaking his head, sighing, "Being a True Saint, Taoist Friend speaks so crudely, it really makes me doubt the ethos of Returning to Truth Temple."

The others, including the powerhouses from the Netherworld, glanced at Kong Laoyi, a bit surprised that this guy dared to say such words.

Shouzhen shook his head and said, "Taoist Friend should know, the Sea of Realms is perilous; it's not about belief but about being careful and cautious."

"Enough." Nine Mountains had a serious face, "Just search directly, don't waste any more time. Those who are following us haven't given up yet."

The captured member from Returning to Truth Temple didn't get angry after hearing this, but coldly glanced at Nine Mountains, as if remembering him.

Kong Xuan sneered coldly, "Still trailing behind us? Why not just do as I say and find a place to ambush them again."

Not long ago, following the plan of the Void Emperor, they successfully acquired specific coordinates of the Netherworld. However, during their journey, they vaguely discovered someone apparently following them.

"We do indeed need to find a place to deal with them, there's no time to lose," the Void Emperor said, looking at the captives with a polite tone, "Taoist friends, please think if there are any places around here advantageous for an ambush."

The True Saints of Returning to Truth Temple had cold expressions and no intention of speaking.

Shouzhen suddenly said, "The time those people started targeting us was before we ambushed you Taoist Friends, they were obviously not from Returning to Truth Temple. Is your temple's reputation so good in the Sea of Realms?"

The latter half was clearly a taunt, yet it caused some changes in the expressions of the members of Returning to Truth Temple.

Indeed, they had no reason to keep silent on behalf of other sects' people.

In other words, sharing the difficulty would be the best outcome.

"In this direction, three years from now, there is a deadly land," a True Saint from Returning to Truth Temple suddenly spoke.

...

...

Netherworld.

Ji Jingqiu led Qi Tian back to the Federation's location.

He was not hiding his appearance, and as soon as he approached Donghuang Continent, he was detected by the Federation.

Ji Anquan was the first to send a message, "It's been fourteen years. Has Brother Ji been well?"
