Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 783 - 290: Establishing a Sect and Becoming Its Founder, Selling Myself as a Package (Part 3)

Although the Tao Palace holds dominion over dozens of world planes and does not lack resources, they lack a stable passageway to the Nine States, unable to transport resources on a large scale.Zhan Yang slowed his pace, saying, "We are already scouting for uninhabitable planets outside the borders. Soon, we will help you set up isolation shelters."

The middle-aged man nodded, "What do you mean by bait you mentioned earlier?"

"The Federation’s official spies have increased recently, I need to take this opportunity to eliminate a batch." Zhan Yang said calmly, "Additionally, perhaps this time we can lure Ji Jingqiu over."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man’s eyes flickered.

Their optimal solution is to occupy East Three Bright Star, take control of this ancient Ascension Platform, and establish a passageway.

But for now, it seems highly challenging, not only because of Ji Jingqiu, but they have already detected that the forces of the Nine States have begun to flood into East Three Bright Star, laying plans in advance.

Moreover...

The middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "Ji Jingqiu must be dealt with swiftly, or other forces will get involved. Once they reach an understanding with Ji Jingqiu, they will significantly outpace us and seize the advantage!"

Zhan Yang said disapprovingly, "Ji Jingqiu is unlikely to collaborate with the martial artists of the Three Thousand Yanfu."

"No!" The middle-aged man emphatically said, "The situation has changed again; the True Saints of the various families are preparing to transmit the Tao in the Great Universe and Divine Prohibition is their first choice! If Ji Jingqiu is selected, it means another True Saint Dojo will fully commit to the ninth Ascension Platform!"

Zhan Yang’s brow furrowed immediately, and he said seriously, "Why only now say this?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly, "Do you think I’m one of the All Saints? I just received the news, and the Tao Palace wants me to try to win over Ji Jingqiu. If that fails, eliminate him quickly; we can’t let him become a Dao Mark for other Saints."

Zhan Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Don’t you also have Divine Prohibition? Let him deal with Ji Jingqiu."

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Ancestor Master Fang has already gone to the Heavenly Saint Lake to challenge the contemporary Divine Prohibition of the Heavenly Saint Lake. Once this is over, he will go to the Earth Territory where another Ascension Platform is located, to establish a branch of the Tao Palace."

"You are hedging your bets?"

"Just like any other family!"

The middle-aged man said solemnly,

"I told you before, the main attitude of the Tao Palace towards the Yanhuang Federation is suppression, which is the will of the Saints."

"My presence here represents our lineage, my family, otherwise why would your Chairman Zhang trust us enough to cooperate?"

With that, he said with a grim expression,

"But if external forces come in and choose Ji Jingqiu as a Dao Mark, all our efforts in this territory will be for naught!"

Zhan Yang said silently, "We cannot prevent other forces from choosing Ji Jingqiu."

"Then eliminate him." The middle-aged man said coldly, "This also aligns with the interests of the Tao Palace."

Zhan Yang frowned, without speaking for a moment.

Their initial thought was just to suppress Ji Jingqiu.

At this time, to eliminate Ji Jingqiu...

The officials and the Mu family would go insane.

Zhan Yang said slowly, "Ji Jingqiu is hard to kill, and if you eliminate him, forget about establishing shelters in this territory; the officials and Mu family will pour out everything they have."

The middle-aged man frowned and said, "There is another option, banish him!"

"Banish?"

"Yes, banish him to the depths of the Great Universe, or to the depths of the realms."

Zhan Yang’s eyes brightened slightly, and this indeed seemed like a good option.

As long as the person is not dead, there is room for maneuver.

At this moment.

Zhan Yang’s terminal suddenly rang.

The communication connected, and the other side was quite concise, leaving just one sentence before hanging up directly.

"All previous plans are canceled."

Just as Zhan Yang was about to inquire if something happened at the Hundred Veins Banquet, the other party abruptly hung up.

This made Zhan Yang frown, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

It was somewhat expected.

Ji Jingqiu’s convening of this Hundred Veins Conference was in itself to demonstrate his strength and subdue all sides.

Judging by this phone call, it was quite effective.

Just not sure what specifically happened that needs quick clarification...

While he was pondering, one communication after another, as well as messages, started chiming in.

Zhan Yang handled them one by one, his expression growing increasingly grim.

They had expended considerable Heart Power to persuade five factions among the Hundred Veins with Heavenly Person stations.

But at this moment, these five factions ruthlessly tore up their prior agreements.

It gave Zhan Yang a sense of foreboding.

What happened at the Hundred Veins Conference, did Ji Jingqiu exhibit strength so overwhelming?

Zhan Yang suddenly said, "Ji Jingqiu’s strength might far exceed expectations, we need more trump cards."

The middle-aged man said calmly, "As long as you can lure him into the isolation formation, a Heavenly King will descend and banish him."

"You can have a Heavenly King descend?" Zhan Yang’s eyes showed a strange color; if true, many issues would be solved.

No matter how many strong enemies, only one trap is needed.

The middle-aged man said solemnly, "It requires some cost, and it is very risky, there is a chance of falling, and the descent may not be complete, but it’s enough to banish Ji Jingqiu!"

...

...

The Ke family.

"Tianqingzi, what is the purpose of your visit?" Ke Pingluan asked.

"I ask Brother Ke from the family to help introduce Brother Ji." Tianqingzi thanked, "I have matters to discuss with Brother Ji in private."

Ke Pingluan said calmly, "Not sure what the specific matter is?"

Tianqingzi cupped his hands solemnly, "Please rest assured, Brother Ke, it is all benefits without harm!"

Ke Pingluan’s eyes showed slight surprise. He originally did not want to burden Ji Jingqiu over there, but the other’s attitude made him a bit unexpected.

And as what happened at the Hundred Veins Banquet reached his ears through special channels, Ke Pingluan seemed to have understood somewhat.

"I will only introduce; whether to meet or not, it is still Brother Ji’s matter."

"In that case, I am very grateful!" Tianqingzi said with gratitude.

In Tianqingzi’s view, if Ji Jingqiu is indeed that Tian Qiu, most likely he will not refuse to meet him!

...

"The Divine Prohibition from the Five Virtues Palace descended on this territory?!"

"Chang Sheng of the Five Virtues Palace... this person is not only the legacy of Five Virtues Palace but also holds the inheritance of Qingtian Temple."

"This is not good news, are the Five Virtues Palace and Qingtian Temple preparing to join forces to venture to the ninth Ascension Platform? Then who can resist?!"

"Embodying the Five Virtues, the Five-Colored Divine Light... has he also received training from Qingtian Temple? In the current Great Universe, without a Divine Prohibition of equal level emerging, who can be his match!"

"Hiss, did he challenge Yanhuang’s Ji Jingqiu? Isn’t this the first Divine Prohibition contest in recent years! What was the result?"

"What do you mean by a single strike, nothing was left???"
