Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 884 - 324: Daoist Wanfa (Extra)

Federation, Yang Family.Qin Qingjue sat cross-legged deep within the Yang Family, behind her a Heavenly Blade hung high, alternately intangible and formless, then manifesting its true form for a moment, its aura like the boundless will of the Heavenly Dao, suppressing the entire Yang Family.

This is the clan-suppressing divine weapon of the Qin Family, the tribulation weapon forged years ago by Qin Tianfeng.

A so-called tribulation weapon can suppress Qi Fortune and Heavenly Destiny, or even seize the fate of Heaven and Earth. If it survives ten thousand tribulations, it can even merge into the Heavenly Dao, replacing parts of it.

Among the divine weapons left by the Seven Marshals, purely in terms of killing, this Heavenly Blade is only second to Marshal He’s divine weapon.

At this moment.

The Heavenly Blade hung above the heads of everyone in the Yang Family, and it had been there for months.

During this time, the Yang Family was internally checking, and any found having dealings with Four Demon Followers, no matter their direct lineage or branch, would be unmercifully slaughtered by the Heavenly Blade even before the Yang Family could act.

There was no room for maneuver.

The internal chaos within the Yang Family was ten times, a hundred times worse than what was rumored outside.

This family, which inherited the Heroic Blade Legacy, was so rotten internally that Marshal Yang awakened in the Divine Temple in a fury.

Even before, with divine weapons stationed, the Yang Family managed to decay like this was not just a change in people’s hearts, but also due to the actions of that person!

The person who struck, unexpectedly, was number 01 within the Federation, whose name and title were viewed as a taboo, the chief among the Four Demons.

Federation historical records show that only one person received that person’s attention and survived—

A hundred years ago, the most arrogant and peerless among the Federation in ten thousand years, Ji Linyuan.

At that time, with the talent he revealed, it was actually not enough to make the Ke Family among the six great families disregard their own people, and instead concentrate on nurturing an outsider.

The real focus was that he used the gaze of number 01 as a furnace, refining himself into the Fist Intent of the heavens.

Afterward, even if he defected from the Ke Family, the Great Grandmaster Ke Qianchi still cherished talent. Considering the overall situation of the Federation, he never took action but allowed the family’s Grandmasters and Heavenly Persons to strike, treating it all as a trial.

At this moment.

Yang Hemian, acting as Yang Family Head, came before Qin Qingjue. His expression was weary, yet he still mustered his spirit, gratefully saying:

"The Yang Family surviving this great tribulation is entirely thanks to the help of your family brothers and sisters. No need for pleasantries, any future needs, Yang Family won’t hesitate!"

Qin Qingjue opened her eyes, her spirit sweeping over the entire Yang Family with the aid of the Heavenly Blade: "Has the Yang Family completed its cleansing?"

Yang Hemian replied solemnly: "The cleansing is complete, all remaining direct lineage and branch disciples, totaling only seventy-nine people."

Qin Qingjue took a deep breath, although the six great families have few direct lineage disciples, their branches are barely prosperous. But this time, after the Yang Family’s great tribulation and internal checking, only seventy-nine were left!

The deceased, including those implicated, numbered over ten thousand.

These ten thousand were not ordinary people; they were either members of the Yang Family or associated with it, high-ranking, influential, or proficient in Martial Arts...

"If the Divine Lord has no objection, then Qingjue will take her leave."

"We’ve already consulted with the ancestors." Yang Hemian sighed lightly, "The ancestors only gave four words—’break and then establish.’

Qin Qingjue nodded slightly: "The Yang Family’s legacy isn’t extinguished, it still has the day to rise again."

Currently, the Yang Family still has a Great Heavenly Position residing at the frontier, waiting for the two Grandmasters with divine weapons from the family to return, ensuring the top remains unbroken.

This time, the true damage was to the Yang Family’s bloodline foundation.

But as long as the Heavenly Persons and Grandmasters bear the heavy responsibility of inheritance, emulating the Great Grandmaster from the Ke family, the Yang Family will still stand at the top of the world.

As several old seniors of the Yang Family saw her off, Qin Qingjue carried the Heavenly Blade and left the Yang Family’s location.

She didn’t choose to return to her family but went to the area where the Ke family resides.

Currently, the Federation has three stationed divine weapons, one belongs to the Mu Family, presently in the hands of Ji Jingqiu, the remaining two are in her and Ke Pingluan’s hands respectively.

The reason is not only because the two of them, apart from Ji Jingqiu, are the most outstanding of this generation, but also due to the Half-plane of Po Suo.

As those chosen by the Cangqing Divine System, they will inevitably delve into the Half-plane of Po Suo, competing for the Divine System legacy for the Federation in the future.

The Three Thousand Yanfu enters the Great Universe, and the Five Pillars Divine System is also returning. The Great Universe will be quite "lively" in the future.

Utilizing this Tao Ancestor Tribulation Soldier, Qin Qingjue crossed several Star Regions, arrived in the Ke family’s location, and sought out Ke Pingluan.

In the Clear Wind Bamboo Forest, Ke Pingluan stood with closed eyes, his sleeves fluttered like clouds and water, moved with the wind, as if he merged into the Heaven and Earth, reaching the profound state of Unity of Heaven and Man.

Ke Pingluan’s eyelids moved slightly, his spirit returned from the mountain and water to Heaven and Earth, he opened his eyes and said: "The matter with the Yang Family has settled?"

Qin Qingjue nodded and asked: "Have you entered Unity of Heaven and Man?"

"Just borrowing the divine weapon." Ke Pingluan said calmly, "Still some distance from a Holy Embryo, should have hope by year-end."

With divine weapons always accompanying them, they can always use the power of divine weapons to understand subsequent realms, currently having stepped into Heart Image.

This kind of treatment, even in all Taoist Inheritances of the Three Thousand Yanfu, is top-tier, the elevation of realms far surpasses ordinary people.

But the two of them already can no longer see the solitary back of someone.

"Have you felt anything lately?" Qin Qingjue asked, "I’ve recently sensed the presence of the Half-plane of Po Suo, fearing it’s not far from the present world."

Ke Pingluan frowned: "I was just about to seek you, aside from you and me, there’s also an elf girl, I don’t know how things are on her end."

"Spirits themselves are the clan to the Cangqing Divine System, she knows the meaning clearer than you and I."

"Indeed." Ke Pingluan murmured, "The return of clans of the Five Pillars is truly one wave after another."

Qin Qingjue said indifferently: "The Holy King Lineage already returned long ago, according to front-line reports, the daughter of the Saint King is about to lead her army into the Ancestral Land of the Saint King."

"So soon?" Ke Pingluan couldn’t help but show surprise, weren’t they met with no resistance along the way?

"This one is almost destined by Heavenly Destiny, invincible at present, along the way many civilizations tied to the Saint King lineage welcome them with open arms, the procession is growing stronger."

"Invincible at present?" Ke Pingluan chuckled, "But we should ask Ji whether he agrees."

Qin Qingjue’s eyes gleamed with interest: "Ji is currently in the Nine States, unlikely to face this one shortly."

"In the Nine States?" Ke Pingluan paused, smiled, "Probably a few ancestors hope he takes a rest, doesn’t cause a stir, and stays dormant for a while."

Qin Qingjue’s face briefly showed a rare trace of a smile, nodded.

For now, it seems like no news will be heard from that guy.

After some idle chat, Qin Qingjue transitioned to the main topic:

"The Li family’s plight has been resolved, your Ke family needs to accelerate the pace, it’s not the time for nostalgia, act decisively when needed."

"Understood," Ke Pingluan said solemnly, "Has the spreading of 01’s power into the Federation been clarified? The Yang Family’s catastrophe this time is too exaggerated; with the Divine Weapon present in the world, it was completely unnoticed. This is definitely not just a curse and ’gaze.’

"Heavenly Road," Qin Qingjue slowly uttered, "Originally, not even several ancestors could trace it to the origin until Wanwu Association was fully exposed, only then did we find the direction."

Ke Pingluan frowned, "What exactly is Wanwu Association thinking? Are they truly just greedy for life, unwilling to ’sink’ with the Federation?"

Qin Qingjue said:

"The Wanwu Association members captured on the Four Guardian Stars this time have been confirmed to have remnants of Heavenly Demon’s power. Heavenly Demon is most adept at enticing human hearts; as long as there’s one, there’ll be two, three, and four..."

"The specific root cannot be traced back, but it is speculated to be related to Zhang Tiancheng."

Ke Pingluan exhaled slowly, his thoughts heavy.

Three thousand years ago Chi Yinghuo, two thousand years ago Zhang Tiancheng, and a hundred years ago Ji Linyuan were nearly the three most talented martial artists in the Federation before Ji Jingqiu.

Among them, Chi Yinghuo went to the Heavenly Road after becoming a Grandmaster, eventually disappearing, and today’s Daoist Master of Pure Yang Dao is this person’s disciple.

However, Ke Pingluan once heard his grandfather mention that Chi Yinghuo’s identity was special, carrying other inheritance and secrets, and leaving was also good.

And Zhang Tiancheng similarly went to the Heavenly Road after becoming a Grandmaster, stationed at the front line, serving as the vice-chairman of Wanwu Association.

No one knows when he made contact with the Four Demons, or why he sided with them.

Back then, the six major families valued him, even Ji Linyuan later had to make some concessions.

"What we’re worried about now are the Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters who went to the Near Tao Land," Qin Qingjue said in a low voice, "If Zhang Tiancheng is involved with Heavenly Demon and 01, it’s hard to predict what might happen."

Ke Pingluan was silent for a moment and said:

"With three Divine Weapons pressing the line, there should be no mishaps. Also..."

"Ji Linyuan is also among them, don’t forget, he also has entanglements with 01, not long ago he even borrowed 01’s power to injure a Grandmaster of the Ke Family."

"With him there, perhaps he can detect Zhang Tiancheng’s abnormalities in advance."

Qin Qingjue sighed, "Let’s hope so."

According to Marshal Ji’s arrangement, these seniors will be the backbone for the Federation for a long time. If something goes wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

...

...

High up in the sky.

A youthful-looking man, not actually young but whose appearance was fixed early, having surpassed a century, his aura fluctuating between Chains and Heart Image.

He stood on high, looking down at his former homeland, heavy-hearted.

This star has already half-destroyed, with vast collapsed mountains on the earth, crisscrossing dry riverbeds, and the dried-up sea floor.

A recent pinnacle battle turned this originally prosperous planet into wasteland, its origin struck, losing the potential to nurture life, destined to become a dead star in the coming hundreds or thousands of years.

And this war was brought by the Heavenly Tree Dynasty to which his civilization belongs.

Only this planet is closest to the Heavenly Road near the seventh Ascension Platform, chosen as the battlefield by the Heavenly Tree Dynasty, attracting enemies of many realms.

He took a deep breath, a bitter smile on his face; this is the outcome of inadequate power, all controlled by others.

The only solace is that most have already relocated ahead of time.

He returned just to see if there were any survivors...

Though unlikely, Wei Qianjing still came, fearing there might be survivors left isolated and helpless.

He drifted through the air, searching to see if there were any living beings nearby.

Suddenly.

He heard a booming sound ahead underground.

Wei Qianjing’s expression shook, rushing faster in that direction, but before he arrived, he saw a Fist Intent soaring to the sky, opening a path underground.

A figure walked slowly out from beneath the earth.

Overlooking the heaven and earth, mountains, and rivers.

Aura vast and unyielding, filling the space between heaven and earth.

Wei Qianjing was shocked, this wasn’t the survivor he hoped for, but a powerful being!

He wanted to retreat, to avoid this person, but it was already too late.

The next moment, his vision blurred, and upon clarity, he was already standing before that person.

"Senior, spare me! This junior was only passing by!"

A spiritual ripple soothed Wei Qianjing’s panic, bringing him calm, allowing him to finally see this elder’s face, and he couldn’t help but gasp.

This elder appeared far younger than himself, in his prime, yet with such power, clearly an elderly figure who prioritized appearance.

"What’s your name?"

A calm spiritual wave resonated in Wei Qianjing’s spirit.

Wei Qianjing quickly replied via spirit communication, "Junior Wei Qianjing, an inspector under the Heavenly Tree Civilization!"

"Heavenly Tree Civilization?"

This elder seemed to hear this name for the first time, silent for a while.

Wei Qianjing tentatively asked, "May I know where senior is from? Are you someone from our Great Universe?"

"Me?"

Ji Jingqiu’s eyes were deep, revealing traces of a timeless aura, muttering,

"Reflecting on the worldly red dust over countless years, all glory and decline, rise and fall, are but turbulence; the deceased have passed, how many heroes lie buried in the dust, leaving only me in the human world..."

"You may call me, Wanfa."

Wei Qianjing was horrified and retreated repeatedly.

The star region they belonged to was under the Mingxu Divine System, ruling over life and death, with countless long sleepers emerging through the ages.

Could this be an old monster from Yellow Ancestor Star who slept for countless years, awakened by the recent battle, and revived today?!

Daring to take Wanfa as a Dao title, this person must have been a formidable figure of what realm in the past?
