Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 891 - 326: Respecting Elders and Cherishing Youth, the World Venerable’s Debts_3

The black wind possessed extreme corrosiveness, sweeping over mountains and rivers, causing everything to decay, rendering the whole Inner Heaven and Earth riddled with scars in an instant, teetering on the verge of collapse!At the same time, even the deep crimson star in the sky was within the range of the black wind, with large swaths of "powder" scraped off by the wind, blending into the Inner Heaven and Earth, nourishing the foundation of the land.

It seemed like an increase and decrease simultaneously strengthened the foundation of this Inner Heaven and Earth, with the brutality merely being an external appearance.

Yet if the external appearance couldn’t hold up, this Inner Heaven and Earth would damage its origin until it vanished.

"At this rate, perhaps it won’t even take half a year..."

Jing Qiu murmured.

This counted as an unexpected delight.

He originally worried whether the True Spirit Pool would be damaged.

But upon inner inspection, the True Spirit Pool seemed to possess the ability of "Wind Stabilization," with surrounding Divine Medicine and Heavenly Medicine all within its range, completely unaffected.

In the Inner World, Hel urged Jing Qiu to keep moving forward.

"Keep going forward, see how far you can reach; I remember the ’Divine Wind Evil Domain’ is not only one of the burial places of the Nether Ruins lineage but also near the Netherworld, where the Nether Ruins lineage once attempted to establish a true Netherworld."

"The Nether Ruins lineage once mastered the Tao of life and death, nearly incorporating all beings under heaven trying to construct a full cycle of life and death reincarnation system, but the other four families did not recognize it, finally breaking it midway."

"Reincarnation in life and death?" Jing Qiu asked quizzically, "Do you mean there is reincarnation in this world?"

He stood still, waited for the yin wind of the ten Wind Caves to show signs of calming down, and then continued moving forward.

"What do you understand by reincarnation? All beings with spirits queuing in order after death entering reincarnation? You should know one thing, for Gods, faith is very important, which includes pious believers who have died, and most of the God teachings include ’ascending to the Divine Country after death’."

Jing Qiu frowned, pondering a question.

For All Spirits, is it total memory obliteration after death, entering the next cycle, continuing to sink into the Eight Sufferings, or entering the Divine Country in freedom?

Hmm... depends on how the treatment in the Divine Country is.

In conversation with Hel, Jing Qiu pressed on through the yin wind, his figure gradually disappearing from the eyes of the elder.

The latter’s gaze flickered, now seemed like a perfect moment to escape.

But he couldn’t be sure of what Jing Qiu previously branded on his brow was.

He had always secretly comprehended, beginning to understand a few elements of Divine nature.

This looked like a lamp seed, possessing abilities to repel evil and stabilize the heart, and its effects not only depend on the Heart Lamp itself but also relate to one’s True Self, meaning its power is people-dependent, with growth potential...

This alone could be called a core inheritance!

During the era of the Nether Sea’s appearance, it was enough to enter the core sequence of a school’s heritage.

However, the threat concealed within, he was entirely unaware of.

But the question is, is this possible?

Using a simple thought, it’s obviously impossible, even unrealistic!

This person was unfathomable, suspected of having a very high positional status, the Heart Lamp implanted in him was certainly a restraining method.

In his eyes, probably the Heart Lamp’s "safety" was higher than even a spiritual vow.

Momentarily, the Thousand Skill’s face became discolored, even restraint methods concealed such Divine nature...

He was now in a dilemma, could only comfort himself, equally as part of the Five Veins, and the other’s status seemingly higher than his, respecting the elder.

It didn’t matter if below, he still cared for the young.

Only...

If this guy went deeper, accumulating too much yin wind within, it would definitely provoke the real Divine Wind, incinerating everything!

However, this lad seemed to be a Saint King’s offspring, should have a backup plan, should be of no concern.

If a problem arose, it would also be an excellent opportunity to swap the situation between both sides.

By then, considering the ties within the Five Veins, he would surely fulfill all landlord duties!

...

Jing Qiu progressed from the outer layer towards the depths.

The black wind mist ahead obscured vision, Jing Qiu couldn’t penetrate it with his Spirit.

When he parted the mist before him, what appeared was a barren land within a starry sky.

The roaring wind inexplicably carried the sound of rushing water.

Jing Qiu stopped, solemnly looked ahead.

It was a restless Yellow River, with no source, no end.

Yellow River, or... Yellow Spring?

A towering black mountain stood in the depths of the plain swept by the yin wind ahead, despite no obstruction by the black wind, with Bodhi Eye, it was still unclear.

He looked afar, seeing a stone bridge spanning the Yellow River deep within the plain.

Jing Qiu’s brow twitched.

The stone bridge on the Yellow Spring was...

What?

Hel wasn’t wrong in saying the ancient Nether Ruins lineage indeed tried to open up a true Netherworld here.

Jing Qiu attempted to go deeper, here without Wind Caves, yin wind roaming the heavenly earth, endlessly.

He tried to find the source and end of this Yellow Spring.

Suddenly.

Jing Qiu turned sideways abruptly.

His gaze landed on the dilapidated stone bridge.

That moment, he sensed someone in that direction casting a gaze at him, cold and indifferent.

But when he turned to look, the gaze disappeared.

"A bit eerie." Jing Qiu frowned.

"You bounce in someone’s graveyard, aren’t allowing a few more glimpses?" Hel said crisply, "Keep advancing, don’t fear, but that bridge isn’t considered deep, still part of the outer layer."

Jing Qiu nodded, aware.

"Came hurriedly this time, forgot to bring a few incenses, will replenish next time."

According to Ancient Road Will, his current strength declared invincible in the Great Universe, but this didn’t mean he could rampage recklessly within it.

Places like the depths of the ’Divine Wind Evil Domain,’ when a Heavenly King Master arrived, must still fall.

Since Hel suggested not passing the bridge, Jing Qiu didn’t even intend to get near.

In places possibly harboring old monsters from unknown eras, caution was necessary, even if they had only one strike of power, for he was alone after all.

"Should have brought Thousand Skill in here too..."

Jing Qiu frowned, as he ventured deeper, increasingly feeling the eerie sensation.

Not just some sudden appearances then disappearances of watching gazes, even in howling winds, he could hear someone blowing beside his ear.

Warm.

Also with a cold and bone-chilling intention.

Apart from being somewhat chilling, nothing else was concerning.

As he delved continuously deeper, Jing Qiu gradually discovered certain truths.

For instance, the distant towering black mountain, wasn’t a mountain at all, clearly a mass of countless overlapping ghosts!

Even the plain he stood upon started triggering his suspicions.

Just as he slowly halted, in his Spirit abruptly emerged a pair of eyes, cold, indifferent, profound as if reflecting the Netherworld scene, yet carrying an undisguisable exhaustion.

Jing Qiu abruptly stopped, vigilant in Spirit, top above in ethereal void, Marshal Mu’s Divine Weapon Bitter Boat faintly glowed.

This journey, fearing encountering shameless ancient monsters or accidentally entering danger zones, hence bearing the Divine Weapon along.

At this time.

The protector sitting outside Pure Land World, amidst Bitter Sea rains, seemingly continually elevating self-position, eyes widened.

Solemn, compassionate towards all beings.

Upon awakening, behind Jing Qiu spontaneously descended the phantom of True Buddha, sitting cross-legged, lotus seat blossomed, momentarily celestial flowers cascaded, Buddha Light shone brightly!

The eyes emerging in Jing Qiu’s Spirit abruptly became sharp!

Suddenly Jing Qiu recalled Hel mentioning—

You Federations and the Five Pillars have interactions, especially Mu Shitian, who seemingly ’borrowed’ some things from all Five Pillars.

Right at this moment.

In the Inner Realm.

Hel suddenly remarked, "I feel, you truly need to wander more across the Great Universe, see how much debt Mu Shitian truly owed back then."
