Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1247 - 441: Calamity of the Divine Lord, Taiyi’s Death Date (Part 3)

Is this their true intention, or the arrangement of the Great Universe?

"Is someone behind all this?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

Ji Anquan remained silent for a moment, then said, "I suspect that Taiyi and our ancestor have a hand in this. As for whether other True Saints are involved, I do not know."

"When you say suspect, it means you are certain." Ji Jingqiu frowned. Could it be that Marshal Ji is finally making his move?

Both Master Mu and Master He had warned him repeatedly to be cautious of Marshal Ji.

But Marshal Ji should not be in the Netherworld at this moment, right?

After delaying the return of Taiyou Divine Lord, he went to the Outer Realm with Taiyi.

According to the images brought back by Brother Sword Light, Marshal Ji and Taiyi also arrived at the Chaohua Realm and made some sort of pact with Chao Ge to hunt the strong ones of [This Shore].

Could Marshal Ji have returned and even preceded the saints led by the Void Emperor?

Ji Jingqiu suddenly felt a headache. He had experienced Marshal Ji's tactics back in the Heart Image phase; just two words — vexing.

He would rather be hunted down by Tian Yan and the other Heavenly Monarchs than face him.

"Which Divine Lord had an accident?"

"It was Marshal Qin, Senior Qin Tianfeng. In my last calculation, Marshal Qin's reincarnation ended up in a place called 'Desolate Sky', which belongs to the Three Thousand Yanfu and houses a sect of the Ten Directions named 'Desolate Sky', and it's also near the Burial Sea."

"Desolate Sky, I have some impression, but the Burial Sea?" Ji Jingqiu murmured, "How could it be there?"

After his Opening the World, who in the Netherworld isn't aware of the dangers lurking in the Burial Sea?

Upon hearing that it might be adjacent to the Burial Sea, Ji Jingqiu instead began to hope this matter was related to Marshal Ji.

Even if Marshal Ji wanted to use him to explore the Burial Sea, he would never put him in danger because it's a "loss-making transaction."

"Since it's in the Three Thousand Yanfu, can't we ask for help?" Ji Jingqiu suddenly said.

The Three Thousand Yanfu doesn't have the Great Universe's rules, and the current Yanhuang Federation is not alone. Just within the Nine States, they have quite a few allies.

Even without True Saints, they could summon a Heavenly Venerable.

"Most of our available forces have already gone to deal with the reincarnations of the other three Divine Lords," Ji Anquan said with a wry smile, "The reason I suspect our ancestor and Taiyi's involvement is that this time we can hardly ask anyone for help. The timing is too precise."

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment. It sounded like "it's up to him."

He asked, "What is our relationship with Desolate Sky?"

"One good news, one bad news. The good news is that the Lord of Desolate Sky is one of the True Saint Dao Ancestors who entered the Bitter Sea with Master Mu to suppress it."

Ji Jingqiu: "..."

Better not talk about the bad news.

"How many strong ones are left in Desolate Sky now?" Ji Jingqiu asked with a headache.

"Two Heavenly Venerables."

Ji Jingqiu breathed a sigh of relief. Even if they confront them head-on, they still can manage, at least with some room to maneuver. He would call Qi Tian and Kong Xiao first.

After understanding the specific situation.

Ji Jingqiu first tried to contact Cang You, who was far away in Daluo Heaven.

As the matter involved the Four Great Divine Masters, the Cangqing faction wouldn't likely refuse either. He wanted to see if there were other ways to break the situation.

After Cang You relayed the message to Cangqing, the latter frowned and said:

"The strong ones on our side are currently held up. My true body is assisting Ming Guilai; regarding trusted hands, we can spare a few Heavenly Venerables. You make the arrangements."

"As for the Burial Sea? That is not a concern. The Saints are always watching that area."

Cang You nodded and passed the message to Ji Jingqiu.

...

They can send a few Heavenly Venerables...

Ji Jingqiu considered. It seemed there was no need to call Qi Tian and Kong Xiao.

He consulted with Hel and Wuzhou in the Inner World about their opinions on the matter.

Wuzhou said sharply, "You are a very valuable card, second only to Ji Tianxing himself within the current Federation. So if this matter is truly planned by Ji Tianxing, you won't encounter any mishap."

Hel countered by asking, "Why are you so certain it involves Ji Tianxing? Just because of Ji Anquan's baseless assumption? Do not deify Ji Tianxing. He is far from predicting everything!"

...

In the vast Sea of Realms.

Taiyi and Ji Tianxing finally escaped from the pursuit of the strong ones of [This Shore].

The former suddenly asked, "Taoist Friend Ji, who do you think among us will be the first to break into transcendence?"

Ji Tianxing laughed, "When you say 'us,' do you mean just you and me, or are you counting Hel and the others as well?"

Taiyi smiled, "Do you think those three still have hope to reach transcendence?"

"Naturally." Ji Tianxing smiled faintly, "If Shitian suddenly has a change of heart and sacrifices himself to the snake, Hel could even surpass us. Everything in the world is impermanent; fortunes and misfortunes intertwine. Who can say for sure?"

Taiyi sighed, "That would not be good. If Hel became the first to achieve Dao, it would be bad luck for us."

"Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, can you really predict everything?"

Ji Tianxing shook his head, "Predicting every step is endless; you only need to foresee the result. As long as the result is right, the perilous and turbulent process doesn't matter."

"So what result have you predicted this time?" Taiyi asked curiously.

Ji Tianxing, with a sincere and earnest expression, said:

"I have foreseen the day of your death."

Taiyi's face fell, neither happy nor angry, but seriously said:

"I eagerly await."
