Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 849 - 312: When Human Malice Arises, Disaster Brews Within

"When the heavens initiate a killing intent, stars are shifted and constellations realigned; when the earth initiates a killing intent, dragons and serpents rise to the land..."The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist gazed at the stars above, speaking slowly, as Ji Anquan and his own disciple stood nearby.

Ji Anquan pressed, "What did you see, senior?"

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist took a long while to return to himself and replied, "Why haven’t you broken through to become a Heavenly Person? You are like this, and so is Ji Jingqiu. If you were to break through to become a Heavenly Person, why would you need to rely on my Daoist cultivation?"

Ji Anquan candidly said, "I’m waiting for him to break through first. I don’t know what he’s waiting for, perhaps he feels his Dao Foundation still needs refinement."

"You’re waiting for him?" The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist asked, confused, "Why is that, could there be some implications? Lately, quite a few in the Federation have broken through to become Heavenly Persons."

In the Federation, there has recently been a surge in Heavenly Human Martial Artists.

Among them, the warriors from the Three Thousand Yanfu aren’t the majority; the bulk comes from the Nine States.

The Federation has already signed a mutual assistance agreement with the Nine Palaces and also has several allies among the Federation on the Oasis.

Ji Anquan gave a very ambiguous answer: "Maybe there is, maybe there isn’t, but I don’t mind holding back for a bit longer. What exactly did you see earlier, old master?"

"What else could it be, nothing more than the shifting of constellations, a year of chaos." The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist frowned, "It’s a pity the Heavenly Mechanism Realm disturbed the heavenly mechanism; otherwise, I could see it more clearly."

Ji Anquan sighed, the old master is not dependable.

Suddenly, the terminal on his wristwatch rang, the sender’s note marked as "Taoist Xue."

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist glanced at it and said, "I heard the Federation recently welcomed an ancestor?"

Ji Anquan immediately showed a look of headache.

Since the special nature of the Federation spread, it instantly became a "thorn in the side" of forces from all realms.

Especially due to the grievances and grudges formed by ancestors a thousand years ago.

Recently, the matter concerning "colliding divine skills" caused quite a stir and remains in deadlock, with someone secretly stirring the pot.

If it were a vendetta, that would be easier to handle, and the Federation would just suppress it.

What they fear is the tangled and complicated love-hate relationships.

Such as the person contacting him right now.

"Isn’t it said that those above Heavenly Person can’t enter the Great Universe?" The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist asked curiously.

Ji Anquan helplessly replied, "Those above Heavenly Person can’t enter, but people from a thousand years ago who could ’form enemies’ with seniors like you, creating a heart image clone to enter the Great Universe, isn’t that just a breeze?"

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist’s expression turned peculiar, "Is this person one of them?"

Ji Anquan nodded.

The original form of the one calling him over to "serve" was once acquainted with their Ji Family ancestor.

Primarily, she is a female Heavenly Venerable.

Whether in strength or suspected seniority, she deserves the Federation’s serious hospitality.

"Alas, previously I only occasionally read in some unconfirmed historical records about the ancestor being ’naturally charming,’ who would’ve thought it was true." Ji Anquan lamented.

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist frowned, "Are you sure she had that kind of relationship with Marshal Ji? What if she’s falsely claiming the connection to deceive you?"

Ji Anquan shook his head, "Strictly speaking, the ancestor and she did not have that kind of relationship; they just traveled together for a period, but this senior remains nostalgic. Her recent requests have not involved the interests of the powers, and she has often conceded, which is to our Federation’s advantage."

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist smirked slightly, only love, no seeding?

Tsk, if there was seeding, the legitimacy of the Ji Family today would really be questionable.

He suddenly became interested and asked, "Is Marshal Ji the only one with old lovers showing up? How about Marshal He, Marshal Mu? Didn’t the other Divine Lords have any ’old flames being rekindled’?"

Ji Anquan pursed his lips:

"Marshal Li was once admitted into a force named Longevity Temple, eventually ascending to the position of Daoist Master. Not long ago, disciples of Longevity Temple visited the Li Family, hoping to use the Federation’s paths to enter the Great Universe."

"Isn’t the Nine Palaces linked through Marshal He? Recently, several forces from the Southern Wilderness Continent have also contacted us, hoping for the same path."

"You think it’s all good? Most of it is troubling; it’s debts of favor!"

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist was speechless, "What do the Divine Lords say?"

"They said to discuss it next year." Ji Anquan suddenly had a change of expression and spoke in a low voice.

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist’s expression suddenly turned heavy.

Why discuss it next year?

The Divine Lords wouldn’t give such a timeline without reason.

"Did you not calculate?"

"I did, even using the family Secret Techniques, suffering quite a backlash, otherwise why would I come to seek your assistance, senior?" Ji Anquan calmly replied, "But to no avail, the heavenly mechanism is in chaos."

He lifted his gaze, looking up at the increasingly bright stars in the deep sky, murmuring to finish the words left unsaid by the Heavenly Mechanism Daoist earlier, "When humans initiate a killing intent, heaven and earth are overturned..."

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist sighed in turn.

The Federation is currently bustling with activity, with forces from all realms taking residence, especially the martial artists from the Nine States flocking in large numbers to the Federation.

Yet beneath this seeming feast, this painting of fresh flowers, lies a storm that threatens the foundations.

"Where do you think the crisis will emerge first?" the Heavenly Mechanism Daoist asked, "From the Three Thousand Yanfu, Nine States, or the Four Demons?"

Ji Anquan softly replied, "I’m afraid the disaster will rise internally."

The Heavenly Mechanism Daoist furrowed his brows.

Suddenly.

Ji Anquan turned his steps, looking back at a certain direction in the starry sky, where the Mysterious Mechanism Stele stood.

After attaining the sub-stele permissions from Mysterious Mechanism Heaven, he casually refined it as one of his life-bound items.

At this moment, the Mysterious Mechanism Stele should answer Heaven Heart, reaffirming its sequence.

Ji Anquan murmured to himself:

"It’s a pity, the breakthrough of a Heavenly Person is so grand, there are too many ’eyes’ on the East Three Bright Star; it can’t be concealed, otherwise, I would really want Marshal Ji to hide his cultivation."
