Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1228 - 435: Before I Even Made a Move...

Who could it be?

Most of All Saints from the Netherworld are still in the Outer Realm. Among the True Saints left behind to guard, excluding the factions of Cangqing and the Saint King, the most likely candidate is...

The Moon God?

Or the Taiyou lineage that has fallen behind among the five Divine Systems?

I believe that among the current Taiyou lineage, the one they are most hostile towards is the Yanhuang Federation, followed by... other Divine Systems?

Ji Anquan naturally could guess why the ancestor couldn't wait to make a move against the Taiyou Divine Lord before even securing the Heavenly Demon Divine Throne.

The most important reason is to create discord within the five Divine Systems, causing them to hold each other back.

The five Divine Lords are the pillars of this realm. Once they join forces, no one within the realm can rival them; even if all other Saints joined hands, it would be hard to resist the unity of the five.

And "one" dominating all is never a good thing.

Severely wounding the Taiyou Divine Lord, suppressing Taiyou's return, and letting the "just" Saint King and the Lord of Cangqing, who has old ties with Marshal Mu, return would grant the Federation ample allied strength among the encircling Saints. It would also certainly lead to a power imbalance within the five Divine Systems.

Especially after witnessing the smooth return of the other lineages while only their Divine Lord remains asleep, those within the Taiyou lineage would naturally sense the cooling of support.

Within the five Divine Systems, a rift would naturally form.

Indeed, the ancestor might seize this opportunity to infiltrate the core of the Taiyou lineage using the Heavenly Demon's authority...

Ji Anquan remained silent; regarding this matter, he already had a plan in mind. He then contacted Senior Qinglian deep within the Sealed Land through a special channel.

Ji should still be in seclusion now, and even with his abilities, he can't contend with so many Heavenly Monarchs.

Soon.

A message came back from Qinglian:

"I have already understood, no need to worry."

With this True Saint's assurance, Ji Anquan felt no further concerns. After settling matters concerning the four Divine Lords, he intended to properly engage with Daluo Heaven.

At that time, he would naturally delve into the wound the ancestor had already torn open.

...

...

"This is the coordinate point..."

A bolt of lightning streaked across the boundless starry sky, without disturbing anyone, silently arriving at the coordinates given by the Moon God.

"It seems I'm the first to arrive?"

Zhang Yuan from the [Star Sky Tower] looked around and smiled faintly, not sensing the presence of any other Fellow Taoists. His gaze fell on the massive continent below.

"So weak."

"Junior Brother Jiang died at the hands of these natives?"

Despite there being dozens of Heavenly Kings stationed below, in Zhang Yuan's eyes, they were all weaklings.

Zhang Yuan showed a look of regret; he had a decent relationship with Jiang Wanjing. Initially, he found it unbelievable to hear that Jiang had died at the hands of a person at the initial stage of a Heavenly King.

"What a lucky lad, to bear the blessing of a Killing Tribulation at the early stage of being a Heavenly King and to witness the path ahead. I wonder whether the path that this boy saw can be seized, and whether the foundation of the Dao can be utilized by me."

Zhang Yuan murmured to himself, beginning to release the Dao Rhyme of his own Qi without concealment, quietly pressing onto this Star Domain.

"Eh? This Heaven and Earth seems to have some interest—"

Suddenly Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow; he hurried to this location without delay to avenge Junior Brother Jiang first, to capture Ji Jingqiu and send him back to the academy. Now, sensing the surrounding Star Domain, he finally detected a clear abnormality.

"Is this... the River of Destiny?"

Zhang Yuan was suddenly shocked,

"How can there be such immense power?!"

He wanted to leverage his own Heavenly Destiny to pry into the River of Destiny, as he usually did, to detect possible hidden threats and prepare in advance.

But at this moment, what he felt, compared to the past, was like the difference between a mighty river and a small well.

In an instant.

He saw a more precise and vivid image than ever before, a branch of the future.

"Fortune... immeasurable fortune!" Zhang Yuan murmured, suddenly exhilarated, unrestrained and extremely joyful, unable to hide it.

For a cultivator, the fear is not of treacherous peaks but having no path to ascend or pass.

However, for a top-tier Heavenly Monarch like him, he constantly faced the predicament of having no further path forward.

Beyond this point, it seemed there was only talk of Breakthrough.

Yet Zhang Yuan always felt he could climb higher, a sensing from the hidden perception within, but he could only reach this step.

"Do those guys realize the anomaly of this realm and delayed their time for that?"

Zhang Yuan speculated, shaking his head. What time could be delayed in dealing with Ji Jingqiu? However, the reward from the academy was definitely not small.

The academy thought there might be some connection between Ji Jingqiu and Chao Ge, instructing him to injure or incapacitate but not kill, needing to capture alive and bring back.

Looking down at the Super Continent below, Zhang Yuan muttered, "What a Super Continent, making it difficult to avoid mass killing when searching for someone."

Suddenly.

Zhang Yuan looked to one side.

There stood a young man as if from a painting, face chiseled, exuding heroic spirit; the fierce and commanding aura at his brow was almost tangible, coldly staring at him.

"Kong Xiao?" Zhang Yuan laughed, "You arrived quickly. What, are you planning to compete with me?"

Zhang Yuan shook his head, saying indifferently, "You are not qualified, go back and improve."

He, being a top-tier Heavenly Monarch who had unlocked the complete Hongmeng Divine Power, naturally had enough confidence to look down on Kong Xiao.

"Oh, I heard you were defeated by Ji Jingqiu in the Land of Dao and were subdued to become a protector and mount?" Zhang Yuan suddenly said with a playful smile, "How about this, I give you a chance for revenge, but the person must be delivered alive to me in the end."

"Zhang Yuan from [Star Sky Tower], who seven hundred years ago unlocked the complete Hongmeng Divine Power, known as the strongest Heavenly Monarch in the history of [Star Sky Tower], with at least the blood of two enemy Heavenly Monarchs on his hands, rumored to with a flick of the finger, make the stars fall—"
