Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 844 - 309: Dao Imprint, Hel’s "Character Creation" (3)

Ji Jingqiu was taken aback, uncertain and suspiciously said:"What did you say? This is a clone of the Heavenly Demon?"

Could his long-cherished dream of a "Four Demons Reunion" finally take a groundbreaking step today?

...

...

"Tian Ying, why are our senior and junior brothers tasked with investigating the Chaotic Abyss Sea?!"

"This is arranged by the Ancestor. Does Senior Brother Tian Yin have any objections?"

Facing the fierce questioning of fellow disciples, Tian Ying was unflustered and spoke with slight doubt in his voice.

The incoming person eyed him angrily, suddenly stepped forward and spoke in a low voice: "You’re taking personal revenge! Don’t force me to report to the sect and end up with mutual destruction with you!"

"Personal revenge?"

Tian Ying shook his head, his expression cold, and laughed mockingly,

"Senior Brother Tian Yin, you’re joking. If I recall correctly, wasn’t it you who openly mentioned in the sect that the Ancestor is bold but imprudent, and that his plan to attack the Chaotic Abyss Sea would cause our sect to founder in the Great Universe?"

Tian Yin’s face darkened: "What do you want to say?"

Tian Ying spoke sternly:

"The Ancestor is not a person who acts arbitrarily. This time, he’s humbly accepting advice to broaden the avenues of discussion and gather ideas. That’s why he’s sending you to investigate the Chaotic Abyss Sea and present a feasible report to persuade him to abandon this plan."

"Senior Brother Tian Yin had the courage to question the Ancestor openly before, clearly having a draft in mind and his own views about the Chaotic Abyss Sea, you shouldn’t disappoint."

He suddenly leaned closer, speaking into Tian Yin’s ear:

"Senior Brother, what good would it do if you reported this matter above? Do you expect Uncle Master Ping Yue and others to stand up for you?"

"You...!" Tian Yin immediately flew into a rage but was held back on the shoulders by two fellow brothers behind him.

One of them stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Junior Brother Tian Ying, let things go when it’s possible. Don’t be too thorough in your actions. We will meet again in the sect in the future!"

Tian Ying’s expression suddenly became serious: "If all of you really think this way, you should have behaved properly during this period and strived to break through to the Heavenly Person level early to serve the Ancestor, instead of going around lobbying!"

Seeing a few of them still wanted to say something, Tian Ying said indifferently: "I’m busy with tasks, so I won’t keep all of you. I hope everyone departs soon to investigate the specific distribution of the Chaotic Abyss Sea and the movements of the Four Gods Temples for the Ancestor."

Tian Yin glared fiercely like a beast ready to strike but ultimately just snorted coldly and stormed off.

Tian Ying looked on calmly, indifferent.

As Uncle Master Ping Qing taught before coming, individuals who cannot distinguish between right and wrong truly aren’t worth looking squarely at.

Tian Yin and his companions hadn’t been gone long before several others arrived together, courteously greeting:

"Junior Brother Tian Ying, we are about to break through to the Heavenly Person level and plan to go ahead and leave the Half Cave Heaven, so we came to inform you."

Tian Ying smiled and said: "Congratulations to all of you in advance, please be careful while traveling, and don’t leak your whereabouts to cause trouble within the sect."

"Of course, we understand." The visitors then tentatively said, "Junior Brother Tian Ying, we heard that the sect will soon select disciples to form the Celestial Stars Formation?"

Tian Ying said meaningfully: "The Ancestor indeed has that intention."

The visiting martial artists smiled and became more amiable: "We got it, we’ll take our leave today and visit again another day."

After sending off the group again, Tian Ying shook his head, worrying about the comings and goings of tens of thousands of people, leaving no time for cultivation.

He actually felt a slight melancholy.

...

...

Chaotic Abyss Sea.

Four Gods Temples.

In an ancient temple floating in the starry sky, more than a dozen people were seated.

Compared to the past, the martial artists present here, be it in status or realm, were significantly lowered, barely at the Heavenly Person level.

The strong ones of the Four Gods Temples also couldn’t avoid the turmoil of the Great Universe’s rules.

In response to the Divine Lord’s command, they dispatched a large portion of their remaining main forces to lurk around the Yanhuang Federation. Now, only a dozen or so Heavenly Persons were left in the temple.

The strongest among them were merely a few at the Middle Heaven Position.

Fortunately, their operations were kept secret, and being located in the Chaotic Abyss Sea while worshiping the statues of the Divine Lords, the nearby factions couldn’t see through their weakest defense time in tens of thousands of years.

At this moment.

A discussion unfolded in this hall representing the highest authority of the Four Gods Temples.

"Intel from within the Demon Eye Empire reported that one of their Great Heavenly Positions disappeared on Gusu Star, coinciding with the manifestation of the Saint King’s projection!"

"That was precisely the time when the Demon Eye, Canghai Empire, alongside the disciples from the True Saint Dojos of Turquoise Pool and Phoenix Blood Palace, were attacking the Heavenly Saint Lake. Is the appearance of the Saint King related to this?"

"I haven’t heard of any old ties between the Heavenly Saint Lake and the Saint King."

"I suspect someone inadvertently triggered the prohibition left by the Holy King Lineage. However, that the Saint King still had the strength to manifest a projection..."

"This matter has been reported to the Divine Lord, who responded that there’s no need to worry."

Upon hearing this, everyone unanimously breathed a sigh of relief.

Even at the peak of the Four Gods Temples’ power, none could withstand a single finger from that Supreme Saint King.

Having eliminated the greatest concern, the atmosphere among the crowd lightened considerably, with someone even joking:

"There’ll be quite a spectacle on Gusu Star now, as the three True Saint Dojos and several Great Universe forces are likely to fight bloodily."

"Indeed, we can enjoy the show while remaining ’above worldly struggles.’"

"Haha, they are too busy with their conflicts to involve us."

"I’ve heard a Divine Prohibition appeared at the Heavenly Saint Lake; I wonder if the other sects can withstand it."

"Hm, according to the Divine Lord’s instructions, we can support those sects if necessary. A Divine Prohibition growing strong will be an overwhelming presence in the Great Universe for the next ten years and must be nipped in the bud," someone suggested.

Immediately, other Heavenly Persons shook their heads: "Let those sects fight until they’re bloody and exhausted. We should not get involved right now. Is the Descent ritual ready?"

"Almost, in half a month we can welcome the Descent of the Divine Son and Goddess."

Everyone’s eyes gleamed with enthusiasm as the factions of the Three Thousand Yanfu began entering the Great Universe. The Divine Lords behind them also had their schemes.

Though their true forms cannot enter, they have prepared the best vessel for the Divine Son and Goddess to Descend.

Suddenly, someone murmured: "It’s a pity, Xuan Youwei and Shen Mengjing had great potential to become Divine Chosen."

This generation of the Four Gods Temples cultivated seven Divine Sons, each with the potential to become chosen one of the Four Gods.

But ultimately, half of them died at the hands of Ji Jingqiu of the Yanhuang Federation!

"A necessary sacrifice," someone said coldly. "They did not have time to grow further, but becoming vessels for the Divine Son and Goddess is their honor."

"Everyone, get ready," someone prompted, "There shouldn’t be anyone so blind as to trouble us now, but we must be prepared just in case, not to disrupt the Divine Lords’ grand plans."

"It’s a pity... If we could also go to the Yanhuang Federation to gain merit, it would be wonderful."

A soft sigh was heard, but the expressions of the others varied, some showing disdain.

Gain merit? They must return alive first.

Even if they do nothing but guard the base camp, their contributions are faultless.
