Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 446 The Anchor of the Transcendent, A Reclusive Family (Supplement)

Once the killing formation was established, the surrounding meteorites seemed to sense it, bursting forth with dazzling starlight once more, paving a path that led to an unknown destination.

For some reason, when Qi Tian saw this road, he felt as if a voice in his heart was urging him to hurry up and set off. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Qi Tian almost lost himself in it, but in a moment of sudden awakening, he decisively hid in the [Human World], and only then did he gradually come to his senses, feeling a wave of fear in his heart.

The perilous Nether Sea was far too dangerous for them!
At the same time, Qi Tian gradually discovered that the "Human World" was not a mere trifle, but rather something they simply hadn't developed. This short trip alone had already saved him twice!
"Brother Ji..."

Qi Tian looked ahead.

Ji Jingqiu stood before the ancient road, not setting off, listening to the melodious sounds coming from the depths of his soul, and gazing at the end of the road.

Setting off is not an option for now; he has not forgotten the true purpose of his trip.

Furthermore, he was 80% certain that this was a trap set by the woman in the red dress!
"That's too blatant. Even their methods of mind control are similar. Are they afraid others won't see through them?"

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself.

Hela and Wu Zhou had no idea where this passage led; they just encouraged him to go, to use his eyes to find the answer, and to treat him like a Gundam.

Ji Jingqiu had already begun to think about how to further extract the remaining value from these two guys; his inner world did not accept idlers!

Ji Jingqiu turned around and walked towards Qi Tian. Since she couldn't see through it, she wouldn't bother looking anymore. Finding Qin Shuai was the key right now.

As expected, there was a problem with the Desolate Heaven. He fought two battles here. Although neither battle lasted long and both were quick battles to determine life or death, with the power of a Heavenly Venerable, it was impossible for him not to notice the fluctuations of the Great Dao here.

Even now, he hasn't sensed any other living beings around him besides himself and Qi Tian.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly stopped, and the sword light that had been dormant in his inner world awakened at this moment.

"Young Ji, if you don't want to be targeted by these two True Ones, leave this place immediately! This land has already been tainted by the traces of the True Ones' existence!"

Brother Jianguang's tone was particularly solemn.

Ji Jingqiu was taken aback: "What is a Returner to Truth? Transcending the Realm?"

Jian Guang's words immediately raised many questions in him.

“Not bad,” the sword light transmitted. “Strange! This place was already deeply corrupted before you, which means someone has become the anchor chosen by the Returning Ones…”

"What do you mean?" Ji Jingqiu asked seriously.

"There's no time to explain right now, you should leave this place!"

"No, I'm here to welcome the reincarnation of an elder back home!" Ji Jingqiu said in a deep voice.

With a thought, he resumed his journey, forcibly communicating with the will of heaven and earth through a state of meditation, no longer needing to worry about being discovered.

Seeing this, Qi Tian didn't know what had happened, but he knew it was probably another anomaly he was unaware of, so he followed closely around Ji Jingqiu.

When Ji Jingqiu forcibly merged with the will of heaven and earth, he sensed that something was parasitizing the will of this world, and an immense sense of crisis rushed towards him!

He instinctively connected with the Nether Sea, using its power to repel the crisis. In a short time, he used the will of Heaven to see the entire current state of the desolate heavens.

Qi Tian saw Ji Jingqiu suddenly stop again and murmured, "The entire world is dead? Is this what you call the Return to Truth Invasion?"

Return to the True Realm Invasion?

Qi Tian felt that the word sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but due to his memory and cultivation level, he couldn't recall it for a moment, which made him look ugly.

There is only one possibility: his master sealed it away himself, as it was a high-risk secret that he was not yet qualified to touch!
"True transcendent beings are so powerful that they influence and change everything around them at all times, even if they don't want to. So they must embark on a journey to explore the legendary source of the Great Dao and find the origin of time and destiny."

"This kind of 'influence' is called 'returning to the truth' or 'unification,' meaning that all things in the world are converging towards the transcendent ones, and are eventually assimilated and become a part of them."

"This world has fallen into a state of [unification], and the depth is not low. This also means that before you came, someone was already being watched by the traces left behind by a True Person—that is, the Transcendent One you mentioned."

“Those transcendent beings who set out from the Boundary Sea return every so often to rest and replenish the losses of their journey. For this purpose, they need an anchor point that can support their return.”

"The choice of anchor point is very important; each transcendent individual has their own standards for choosing an anchor point—"

Urged on by Ji Jingqiu, Jian Guang had no choice but to pour all of this information into Ji Jingqiu's mind at once.

It hadn't expected that Ji Jingqiu would come into contact with this thing so early. In its calculations, Ji Jingqiu should have only begun to come into contact with this field under its guidance after stepping into the Dao Ancestor or even the True Saint realm.

This is a crisis, but it will also be an opportunity for Ji Jingqiu to get close to the Transcendent Relics, obtain the Transcendent Inheritance, and take a crucial step forward.

Ji Jingqiu remained silent, then summoned the Heavenly Blade once more and said in a deep voice, "Senior Heavenly Blade, the situation is critical, there is no time to lose. Please do your utmost to help, as it may diminish your 'sharpness'!"

Suddenly.

Chi!
The sword intent soared to the sky, as if severing heaven and earth. This heavenly sword, without a master, awakened on its own and in full force!
The Heavenly Blade sweeps across the sky, its light cutting through everything in its path with unparalleled ferocity.

It fully awakened, freezing the space and time of this world in an instant. At this moment, the sky and the ground were filled with the light of swords, with the sharpness to cut through everything, severing the dense causal threads, leaving only the last one!
"This is actually a Calamity Weapon?!" The sword light within the inner world was greatly surprised and couldn't help but ask, "Just how many anomalies has this small place produced that it can even give birth to a Calamity Weapon?!"

"Hiss, could your elder be the Sword Master? The one being targeted might be the reincarnation of your elder!"

The so-called "robbery artifact" can suppress destiny and fate, and can also usurp the destiny of heaven and earth. Even for a true saint, it is a rare and precious item.

As far as Jian Guang knew, someone had once tried to disrupt the fate of several realms, and even drained the river of fate of one realm, all in order to forge a Calamity Weapon, but ultimately failed.

This thing came into being in response to a need, and its origins are unfathomable and mysterious; the essence of its creation is simply impossible to fathom.

Those who can become sword masters possess various qualities.

"It's a pity that it's a knife, not a sword, and it doesn't conform to my Dao. Otherwise, I might be able to temporarily take control and lend you a hand."

Sword Light regretfully transmitted its voice, saying that it had contributed a lot to the Dawn Realm, especially by violating its own oath, which resulted in considerable losses and it was far from recovering.

Following this last thread of cause and effect, Ji Jingqiu arrived at the depths of the desolate sky.

This appears to be the site of a former great city, now only the empty foundation remains.

Ji Jingqiu and Qi Tian saw a second road, the destination of which was unknown.

"Brother Ji, be careful!" Qi Tian reminded him.

This road didn't give him the same strange feeling he had before; it was just pure...danger!
It resembles a gaping maw of an abyss that devours everything.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't take any risks," Ji Jingqiu nodded.

The Heavenly Blade hummed and trembled violently, its blade energy piercing through the heavens and earth, pointing directly at the road. If it weren't for Ji Jingqiu restraining it, this treacherous weapon would probably have already rushed into the passage.

Ji Jingqiu frowned. Had Qin Shuai entered this passage, either willingly or unwillingly?

If the road ahead was indeed left by the woman in the red dress, then this one must belong to the boy?
Ji Jingqiu suddenly noticed that the heavy black snow had stopped, and a faint halo appeared on the distant horizon, like the morning glow breaking through the dawn, creating a vibrant scene.

But both he and Qi Tian felt a great sense of terror, as if some kind of crisis was about to strike.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly turned around and looked at the road that led to an unknown destination. At that moment, it collapsed, and the chain reaction was overturning the entire world!

"It's too late! This entire world has been completely sacrificed!"

Jian Guang said solemnly,
“Let’s move forward. This path was probably left by ‘Nang’. Now that he has chosen the anchor, it shouldn’t pose any threat to you. It’s just a passage.”

Where does it lead?

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the dojo left behind by Ning back then."

"The 'ferocious' you speak of is a true transcendent being?!"

“That’s right. His true form is a Devouring Beast, which is similar in nature to your Void Beast, but at a higher level. It is a creature from seven eras ago, which dominated the world for three eras to achieve the Dao.”

The temple and ancestral hall left behind by a true transcendent being... Ji Jingqiu's eyes flickered for a moment.

He suddenly asked, "Is becoming an anchor for those who return to the truth a good thing or a bad thing?"

“The significance of the anchor is to carry their Dao, Dao fruit, or traces of existence, or even just ethereal things like concepts,” Jian Guang said quickly. “As for whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing, that depends on the habits of the transcendent.”

Ji Jingqiu understood.

It's somewhat similar to forcibly taking on a disciple. Whether it's good or bad depends entirely on the master. If the master has a bad temper, he might not acknowledge the disciple and could easily kill him upon returning home.

Qin Shuai was chosen as the anchor by a True Person named "Nang".
Ji Jingqiu's mind raced, and many thoughts came to mind in an instant.

If Qin Shuai is truly chosen as the anchor by a transcendent being, almost a successor, does he really need to be rescued and supported by himself?
If Ji Shuai was indeed behind this, how did he learn all these secrets and thus successfully make his move?

He had long ago transcended the legacy of the Moon-Slaying Sword Light. Did the latter also regard him as an anchor, which is why it taught him the [Peaceful Universe Slaying of the Foolish and Stubborn]?
"I don't have time for you to think about it!"

A sharp rebuke from the sword urged Ji Jingqiu to set off as soon as possible.

“That madwoman has her eye on you and is trying to forcibly drag you into her domain. This entire space is sealed off, so you can’t leave through the All-Encompassing Passage. You can only take this path ahead.”

Ji Jingqiu looked back and saw a blood-red haze.

After the first road collapsed, a vast lake of blood gushed out from its end, engulfing everything in its path.

Before stepping inside, Ji Jingqiu asked one last question: "What was the name of the woman I killed with a single blow, Senior?"

"...Hongyan." The sword light solemnly warned, "Don't mutter this name to yourself outside. To a transcendent being, calling out their real name is enough for them to sense it and thus lock onto you in some unknown area!"

"Brother Qi, it's too late. I'll explain later." Ji Jingqiu grabbed Qi Tian's shoulder and rushed into the passage just before the crimson tide surged in.

……

The coordinates of the desolate sky.

The three Celestial Venerables emerged from the void one after another and arrived together.

These three were the reinforcements arranged by Cang You, one from Cang You's lineage and the other from the Holy King's lineage.

The three Celestial Venerables exchanged glances, nodded as a form of greeting, and locked their gazes on the coordinates of the desolate heaven, but they were all stunned on the spot for a moment.

All that could be seen at the original coordinates of the desolate sky was emptiness, as if a piece had been scooped out by something!
The three celestial beings looked at each other again, but this time their gazes held a completely different meaning, a mixture of shock and trepidation.

How could such a vast and desolate place vanish without a trace?!
Given the sheer size of the Desolate Heaven, even if it were to collapse and perish, it would still create a powerful shockwave that would sweep across dozens of surrounding heavens!

"Quickly inform the two God Lords that Ji Jingqiu seems to have arrived ahead of schedule!"

……

……

Ji Jingqiu looked up and saw that the clouds in the sky were vast and boundless, with more than a dozen suns hanging in the sky and countless void rifts like dragons coiled up, leading to countless worlds.

They just fell from a rift in the void above.

"Brother Ji, did you sense it...?" Qi Tian asked seriously.

Just now, Ji Jingqiu briefly explained their current situation to Qi Tian.

At this moment.

Both of them sensed a hazy and unknown will, which, while not as vast and unpredictable as the universe, far surpassed the remnants of the Dawn Realm.

This divine intervention had locked them in place, making it impossible for them to move an inch for a time.

At this moment, the Heavenly Blade, suspended in mid-air, temporarily severed the lock and emitted a melodious blade cry, as if it had discovered something, before disappearing directly into the void.

Ji Jingqiu knew that Senior Tiandao had most likely found Qin Shuai's whereabouts!
"I wonder which transcendent sect this is."

Qi Tian surveyed the surrounding world and pondered for a moment, then said...

"If we have connections with the Netherworld, we should be able to leave smoothly. As long as we can contact our elders in the Netherworld, we will be worry-free, and returning to the Netherworld will not be difficult."

Ji Jingqiu relayed Jian Guang's message, saying, "This gate should be called the [Yuanchu Palace]. It was first built four centuries ago and seems to have always been in seclusion."

Qi Tian pondered for a long time, and finally stammered, "I've never heard of it before..."

"Someone's here." Ji Jingqiu looked over.

A terrifying white wolf descended from the void, its head bowed. With each blink of its eyes, the void seemed to come alive. Its body exuded immense pressure, its imposing form causing the surrounding void to distort and blur.

"At least a Celestial Venerable, or even higher. Let's build a relationship first," Qi Tian transmitted his voice.

Although he had never heard of the name "Yuan Chu Palace", it didn't mean that the other party was unaware of the Yin Spirit Realm!
The Yin Spirit Realm is somewhat well-known in the Boundary Sea. If you explain that you entered by mistake, the other party shouldn't be completely heartless; at the very least, there should be a verification process!
Just as Qi Tian was about to choose his words, Ji Jingqiu spoke directly, his expression calm:

"The four directions and the top and bottom are called the universe, the past and present are called the cosmos, and all living beings are in the prison of the universe."

The Sirius's expression visibly turned serious, as if his words held a deeper meaning, and he said very politely:

"Are you fellow Daoists from the Heavenly Prison Palace? You've finally arrived. Please follow me."

Qi Tian was stunned. He had never heard of the Yuan Chu Palace, but he had heard of the Tian Yu Palace. The founder of the latter was one of the few people in the Boundary Sea who had been proven to have stepped into the true realm of transcendence!

The Heavenly Prison Palace has existed for over a decade without being destroyed, its foundation is so powerful and terrifying that it cannot be compared to the Yin Spirit Realm!
When did Brother Ji get involved with the Heavenly Prison Palace?!
Ji Jingqiu remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was thinking to himself that he had spoken those words under the guidance of Jian Guang, intending to first intimidate the other party and then find an opportunity to leave.

In addition, finding Qin Shuai would also be a good option. According to Jian Guang, Qin Shuai could either become a distinguished guest of the Yuan Chu Palace, with a status comparable to that of a direct disciple of the founder, or be directly imprisoned by the Yuan Chu Palace.

However, judging from what this person just said, it seems that the [Yuanchu Palace] is also waiting for someone from the [Tianyu Palace]?

Didn't we just bump into each other...?

Ji Jingqiu looked up at Tianyang in the sky again. Now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it. This world was not guarded by just one or two True Saints.

"I didn't expect that this [Yuanchu Palace], which has been hidden for centuries, has not yet perished." Jian Guang clicked his tongue and said, "After so long without any sound, I thought this lineage had long since died out."

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, "If something really happens, remember to help me out first."

Seeing Ji Jingqiu's arrogance, Qi Tianzhen assumed that Ji Jingqiu was also connected to the Heavenly Prison Palace, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The two followed Sirius side by side, traversing the boundless void, and arrived in front of a suspended divine mountain.

Ahead stood groups of different people, clearly from different factions.

Isn't Yuan Chu Palace supposed to be a secluded place? Why are so many outsiders gathering there?

Ji Jingqiu vaguely guessed the answer. If it was really as he thought, then it would be a good thing for him and Qi Tian, ​​at least the crisis would be greatly reduced.

suddenly.

Ji Jingqiu's pupils constricted sharply as he saw someone ahead...

"acquaintance"!
Zhang Tiancheng?!

He had never met him in person, but he had seen photos of him in the Federation, from his youth to his prime.

Excluding the possibility of a lookalike, how did he end up here? Didn't this guy become a disciple of the [Mayfly Palace]? Could he be here representing the [Mayfly Palace]?

Ji Jingqiu stared intently at a few solitary figures standing alone in the crowd, who did not seem to represent the vast [Mayfly Palace].

During his brief time with his grandfather and others in the Dawn Realm, he learned a great deal that this person had not only completely betrayed the Federation, but was also suspected of having joined forces with Taiyi long ago.
