Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 841 - 308: The Saint King’s Gifted Law, the Girl Named Chi Ji (Part 3)

He straightforwardly said, "This is the former troop station of the Holy King Lineage, also a training ground. The prohibitions are numerous. Our ancestors once had a Heavenly King Master that ventured deep inside, only to vanish without a trace.""Under Xi Hua’s crown." Green King politely said, "Are your people alright?"

"Quite a few are missing." Xi Hua said with a grim expression. In one operation, losing dozens of Heavenly Persons is no less than a severe blow to the Demon Eye Empire.

"Calm down, since the one at the Heavenly Saint Lake did not choose to kill them on the spot, there is a chance for redemption afterwards." Green King comforted.

Xi Hua still looked displeased, saying, "Let’s hope so."

Green King sighed lightly, "What we should be genuinely worried about now is the strength of that one."

Xi Hua frowned and said, "Quickly find their settlement. This time, the royal family sent a Great Heavenly Position out, secretly following with sacrificial soldiers from the Divine Temple. Find him, and while he has yet to gain a foothold, we still have a chance."

Green King was moved and said, "Your country has utilized sacrificial soldiers from the Divine Temple?"

Xi Hua said gravely, "You repeatedly emphasize the horrors of the Divine Prohibition, naturally we must be well prepared!"

"Where is that one now?" Green King persisted.

Xi Hua gazed afar, frowning tightly, "I have used a secret technique to transmit sound, but have yet to receive any news. Hope it hasn’t been affected by the prohibitions triggered not long ago."

Following his line of sight, Green King saw large sections of collapsed mountains, an unsettling premonition inexplicably arose in his mind.

...

...

Ji Jingqiu followed the coordinates and found the Half Cave Heaven opened by the Heavenly Saint Lake.

Nestled within the mountain body, the void is somewhat crudely built, lacking vitality inside, and not large — barely enough for thousands of disciples to stand temporarily.

As he arrived at the cave entrance, a Heavenly Person suddenly stepped forward and said, "Disciple Tian Shui warmly welcomes Ancestor back!"

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly, glanced around and frowned, "Are the conditions this harsh?"

Tian Shui smiled bitterly, "The cave heaven treasures within the sect can’t be brought to the Great Universe, we can only rely on a few of us to temporarily open a Void Cave Heaven. Ancestor, it’s just that you..."

By reaching the Heavenly Person realm, one already has the preliminary ability to open spaces within the void.

He saw a line of human gourds tied behind Ji Jingqiu, his breath caught in his throat.

These are... Heavenly Human Martial Artists from various factions?!

How could there be so many?!

"Have the other disciples returned?"

In his daze, Tian Shui subconsciously murmured, "Half have returned, some senior brothers are further away, it would take until tomorrow."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, "Let Tian Ying and Lou Lan come see me."

After saying this, he punched out a vacuum zone based on this cave heaven, stabilized by Wuji True Strength, and opened a temporary dojo, dragging in the hostages.

Not long after.

Tian Ying and Lou Lan arrived one after another.

"Paying respects to Grandmaster Ancestor!"

Ji Jingqiu said, "Test you both a bit, how would you handle these people if they were yours to deal with?"

The two stared blankly to the side.

"This is..."

Ji Jingqiu lightly said, "On the way back, I encountered these Taoist friends unconscious on the ground. I couldn’t bear to see them dead in the wild, so I brought them all back."

The two were silent, unable to speak for a moment.

Tian Ying tentatively asked, "May I ask Grandmaster Ancestor, are these Heavenly Human Martial Artists from several forces?"

"Correct."

Tian Ying swallowed hard.

He roughly glanced over, at least seventy to eighty people...

Seventy to eighty... Heavenly Persons?

Tian Ying shivered, further upping his assessment of the Grandmaster Ancestor’s strength.

Capturing seventy to eighty Heavenly Persons at once, such strength far exceeds the evaluations given by his senior masters.

Indeed, none who dare oppose the Grandmaster Ancestor today could possibly end well!

"Reporting to Grandmaster Ancestor!" Tian Ying’s mind whirled, "These people shouldn’t be wiped out entirely. Our Heavenly Saint Lake doesn’t have life-and-death enmity with Phoenix Blood Palace and Yaochi Fairyland. The grievances are within manageable bounds."

"Disciple suggests temporarily detaining these people. Whatever negotiations we have with the companies later, we will be in a position of strength."

Ji Jingqiu said, "Do you think they can ’sell’ for a good price?"

Tian Ying cautiously said, "Disciple advises against releasing them now. Letting them go would be giving several companies more support."

Ji Jingqiu considered, indeed; they’d tally it up in the end. Trading dozens of Heavenly Persons can’t buy a single Divine Medicine, then add a zero.

"Then you manage it. I have put a spirit prohibition on them, they won’t stir up a storm for now." Ji Jingqiu lightly said, "Are the many disciples still behaving?"

"Reporting to Grandmaster Ancestor, no one has caused any trouble for now."

"Hmm, I need to retreat to stabilize my realm. In the meantime, your focus should be on breakthrough and stability. Also, send people to collect intel on Chaotic Abyss Sea. Moreover, this Gusu Star beneath us is not as simple as initially thought. Continue the deep investigation."

Tian Ying lowered his head, eyes flashing, and believed he understood the hidden meaning between Grandmaster Ancestor’s words, respectfully said:

"Disciple understands your meaning, will surely arrange everything properly."

"Step aside then." Ji Jingqiu waved his sleeve, and the two along with the crowd of Heavenly Persons were sent out of the temporary dojo.

After sending them off, Ji Jingqiu introspected himself, beginning consolidation and cultivation after reaching the Heavenly Human realm.

"With ample resources, application are always possible, and next tasks of this clone, one is to quickly weather the Wind Disaster, two is to continue tempering to gather three thousand Wuji Talismans, completing the First Layer of [Xing Wuji]."

"No... [Xing Wuji] can push back a little, needs to first enter the Dharma Realm, condensing Dao imprint."

Ji Jingqiu lifted his hand, his entire body enveloped in a misty light, with eyes that contained falling heavenly thunder, as if heaven and earth reversed, sun and moon silently annihilated.

In an instant, a Heaven and Earth Dojo emerged and quickly evolved into a realm of destruction.

Mountains and rivers, ultimately overturned.

The sun, moon, and stars, also had obscurity and clarity.

Finally.

Disaster arises and ceases in the palm.
