Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 900 329: Promoted Again

The choices left for them were few: either a swift battle or a retreat on the spot.As disciples of the True Saint Sect, naturally, they couldn't choose the second option.

Two array diagrams were pushed to the limit, connecting with the stars above, drawing endless starlight, transforming into a sky full of thunder and fire.

Ninety-eight Heavenly Persons attacked together, even if they were only at the Lesser Heavenly Position, the array diagram's support made them formidable.

However, no matter how they attacked, it seemed futile. Even with perfect coordination, when finding a gap, they despairingly found that the strike passed right through the opponent's body, as if hitting a void.

"Omnipresent..." someone roared, "It truly is Omnipresent; this is a Heavenly Person Perfection, close to a Tao Prover!"

"Activate the Holy Weapon projection to suppress the void!"

"Immaculate Holy Weapon! The opponent's heavy weapon is defensive, not offensive!"

"How can we fight this?! It's impossible!"

Everyone was utterly desperate; there was no dawn in sight for this battle.

Ji Jingqiu moved through the crowd, regarding all divine skills as nothing, he covered the void with his Palm Pure Land, capturing each Heavenly Person along the way into his Inner Heaven for subjugation.

Attacking the Heaven and Earth Mystic Sect was not just taking an order from the Taiyin Divine Palace but also about delaying their establishment and transmission in the Great Universe.

The so-called transmission and establishment of the Tao involved not just setting up a Taoist inheritance and recruiting disciples, but also the breakthroughs of these disciples in the Great Universe.

The methods they practiced and the path they took were almost derivations of the Daoist Skills of various True Saints. Each breakthrough in the Great Universe was an invisible "transmission."

Thus, the most direct and efficient way was to abduct these Heavenly Persons.

As for "killing them all," the karma of completely severing ties with the Heaven and Earth Mystic Sect should not fall on Ji Jingqiu.

The Taiyin Divine Palace would bear it.

He just needed to subdue these people.

Relying on Omnipresent, Ji Jingqiu aggressively broke a Return to Origin Array with one palm, extinguishing the sky full of thunder and fire, shattered the left half of the array leader's body, and subdued him into the Inner Heaven.

He thought to himself that this array diagram was indeed impressive; just forty-nine Heavenly Persons combined could unleash power above the Great Heavenly Position. However, it was still lacking for him, so he might toss it to the Federation another day.

He reached out, forcibly pulling the array diagram connecting the sky and stars into his palm.

The array diagram hummed, struggled violently, and blazed with starlight, but to no avail. It ultimately fell silent and was taken by Ji Jingqiu.

By this point, the remaining martial artists of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Sect had already begun to retreat.

Even though retreating in front of a martial artist who mastered Omnipresent was a foolish choice, they had no smarter option.

"Who are you?!"

"Today, you humiliate the Heaven and Earth Mystic Sect as if we have no one; aren't you afraid of being entangled by karma in the future?"

The martial artist left behind unwillingly asked.

What greeted him was only a raised hand. After the world spun, he was suppressed into the Inner Heaven.

At first, he struggled to resist, but once he fell into the opponent's Inner Heaven, he involuntarily fell asleep, seeing "demons" in his heart.

"What a statement from a bunch of defeated dogs."

Ji Jingqiu murmured, focusing his spirit on the escapees, capturing them one by one.

This battle resembled an eagle catching chickens, with no surprises and no possibilities of surprises. He even had the Bitter Boat Ancestor with him; it would be truly unreasonable if things went wrong.

"Do I need a few strong foes to temper my martial arts?"

Following the coordinates of his spirit, Ji Jingqiu captured the martial artists of the Heaven and Earth Mystic Sect fleeing in all directions. Estimating that almost all were caught, he then locked onto the positions of Yang Li and Lin and moved towards them.

On the way, he inquired in his heart to Lady La, for it had been a long time since he used his full strength against formidable foes.

Either they were too strong or too weak.

Hel calmly stated:

"Cherish your current invincibility; if you feel it's not enough temperance, then use the universe as your whetstone."

"On this path to the end, how many companions can there be? Mostly, you'll use the wondrous landscapes as grindstones. When you become Heavenly Venerable, tribulations will sharpen your Daoist skills."

"On the Star Map given by the Nether Ruins Lineage, I saw two wondrous places where you can temper yourself."

"As for some rare resources, let the martial artists of the Taiyin Divine Palace gather them for you."

...

"Master Yang, Junior Brother Lin!"

Yang Li and Lin Yunxia had just returned to the Taiyin Divine Palace's stronghold, and the personnel responsible for guarding them kept looking behind Yang Li and Lin, wondering,

"Why don't we see that one?"

"Was there a delay?"

Regarding the higher-ups inviting external aid, the disciples of the Divine Palace were initially resistant, but upon hearing it was the famous Divine Prohibition, most had nothing to say.

Yang Li smiled bitterly: "Let's talk about it later."

The gatekeeping martial artist was puzzled: "What, is that person not going to show up on us? We must complain! We must make the higher-ups and the Nine Palaces negotiate! If we can't solve Ji Jingqiu, can we not handle the Nine Palaces!"

Lin Yunxia sighed.

He had thought the same before.

Ji Jingqiu's invincibility was established in the Great Universe, and his ties were also in the Great Universe.

But if he got involved with the Nine Palaces, many things could be achieved by putting pressure on the Nine Palaces.

But now...

The Taiyin Divine Palace must also stand by the Nine Palaces.

Yang Li used spirit communication, casting his words into the hearts of his brothers in the Taiyin Divine Palace:

"By the order of an outsider elder from the Nether Ruins lineage, anyone not attempting a breakthrough in the Heavenly Human Boundary, no matter what you are doing, assemble now!"

The sound spread, and martial artists seated in various places all looked up simultaneously, glaring with a peculiar look toward the source of the voice.

An outsider elder of the Nether Ruins lineage?

"Is this... someone from the main lineage finally coming?!"

Someone stood up abruptly, with an excited expression, striding out of seclusion.

Many others speculated the same way.

The Taiyin Divine Palace disciples always prided themselves on being of the Nether Ruins lineage, one of the Five Pillars that once ruled over the Three Thousand Yanfutu, incomparable to other trivial forces.

Even the True Saint Dojo of the Three Thousand Yanfutu couldn't compare to their "orthodoxy"!

As the disciples of the Taiyin Divine Palace emerged from seclusion, Yang Li said in a deep voice:

"By the order of Ji Jingqiu, an outsider elder from the Nether Ruins lineage, from today all Taiyin disciples must set out to search for resources for the elder."

Everyone was frozen on the spot, especially the gatekeeper from before, who gazed blankly and murmured:

"Yang Senior Brother, whom did you say?"

"Outsider Elder Ji Jingqiu." Yang Li repeated emphatically, "I'm not joking with you; this person has already met the great figures of the Nether Ruins main lineage and acquired the highest-level token of an outsider elder!"

The surroundings fell into a deathly silence, with some people's facial muscles twitching or their eyes still lost in a daze, as if they had not yet awakened from a dream.

Yang Li said helplessly, "You'll understand when Elder Ji arrives later."

"Yang Junior Brother, where is that person now?" One grand martial artist came forward and asked solemnly, "This is no joke and needs to be confirmed repeatedly!"

Yang Li looked toward a certain direction, paused, and said: "Elder Ji said he would first deal with the Heaven and Earth Xuan Gate and meet with us later."

Instantly, these words shattered the dead stillness of the atmosphere like the bottom of a lake splitting open.

"Did that person go directly to cause trouble with the Heaven and Earth Xuan Gate, alone?"

"Hiss, truly worthy of being under the Divine Prohibition! Truly courageous!"

"Enough with the talk, quickly prepare to assist! No matter how invincible that person is, it's hard to fight alone..."

The noisy scene suddenly fell silent.

Yang Li sensed the elusive aura appearing behind him, his expression solemn as he turned and bowed:

"Disciples greet Elder Ji."

Ji Jingqiu emerged from behind him.

The group of Taiyin disciples behind, mostly hesitant, glancing at each other, not wanting to first acknowledge a junior as an elder.

Until Ji Jingqiu inadvertently flashed the jade token.

The sharp-eyed ones at the front had their pupils shrink abruptly, taking a deep look at him, and turning back with a bitter smile:

"It really is the token of the Nether Ruins lineage, why not quickly pay respects to Elder Ji?"

"...Elder Ji!"

After a moment of hesitation, everyone belatedly performed the salute due to a senior.

Ji Jingqiu nodded secretly, feeling a bit more senior.

"I'm giving you all a gift." Ji Jingqiu waved his hand, and immediately Heavenly People fell like "rain."

Recognizing all the Heavenly People who fell to the ground in a coma, the martial artists of the Taiyin Divine Palace instinctively leapt onto them!

Until they applied forbidden techniques to all the Heaven and Earth Xuan Gate martial artists, they were still a little bewildered.

The two standing beside Ji Jingqiu, Yang Li and another, gasped.

How long had this person been gone, to conquer the Heaven and Earth Xuan Gate and capture so many Heavenly People?!

All newly entering Heavenly People, yet the disparity was already so staggering at this point?!

"Tomorrow I will find time to deal with the martial artists of the Holy Temple. As for you, help me find some things, and I will give you a star map."

"By the way, who among you can spare some time to return to the Divine Palace and convey a message to your former palace master for me..."
