Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 480 Unified Front, Blood of the True Saint
"Are the disciples of Yuanchu Palace really this domineering?"

A middle-aged man dressed in a golden Taoist robe stepped forward. His sideburns were hanging down, and he held a purple jade whisk that shone with golden light. Lightning flashed in his eyes, and he exuded an imposing aura without being angry.

Lightning flashed in his eyes, and his primordial spirit inscribed all laws in the void. He waved his whisk, creating a magnificent scene of heaven and earth collapsing and the sun falling!
Three thousand strands of dust shot out, intertwining with the laws of the Great Dao. The crisscrossing paths of the Great Dao, like a boundless net, covered the surrounding area, and the aura of the Great Dao flowing within seemed capable of crushing everything.

The void of the boundary sea was so heavy that it emitted mournful cries of unbearable pressure.

Faced with this overwhelming killing intent, Ji Jingqiu had no choice but to annihilate it with a single strike.

The true form of the Azure Lord manifested, its blade outline resembling a surging river, stretching across heaven and earth, and with a thunderous crash, it cleaved through the Great Dao Net, continuing to strike at the Dao Ancestor who had taken the initiative to charge forward.

The latter's expression was solemn. With a flick of his whisk, it transformed into a golden river that stretched across the starry sky. Thousands of golden dust strands wrapped around his fingers, evolving into the most yin and gentle power, layer upon layer, dissolving the blade light into nothingness.

After absorbing the blow, the Dao Ancestor from the Starry Sky Tower finally breathed a sigh of relief. Having assessed Ji Jingqiu's true strength, his expression became stern and cold as he rebuked him:
"Does he really think he can turn the world upside down just by wielding a true holy weapon?!"

Ji Jingqiu showed no change in expression, simply taking a step forward and striking again.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu attack again, the Dao Ancestor made a hand seal and roared:

"go with!"

Three thousand golden dust threads suddenly shot out, weaving into a flawless killing net. Each dust thread contained the true meaning of the Great Dao. Wherever it passed, the void vanished into nothingness, and the chaotic energy surged, shaking a trace of the original river of time belonging to the Boundary Sea!

"laugh--!"

But the next moment.

He was startled, his pupils contracted sharply, and he showed an expression of disbelief. In the instant of contact, half of the golden dust of the whisk was cut off and fell down in a flurry!

"you……!"

Did this person hold back some strength earlier?!

The surrounding experts were shocked. A Dao Ancestor's natal artifact was severely injured in just a few exchanges. What was the origin of the artifact in the opponent's hand that made a Heavenly Venerable so invincible?
The Dao Ancestor from the [Starry Sky Tower] felt distressed by the whisk in his hand and quickly retreated, simultaneously transmitting his message:

"Although this child is a Celestial Venerable, he relies on the advantage of divine weapons, and his Dao power is still superior to mine! Everyone, be careful!"

Everyone's hearts stirred. Some recognized him; his Dao power was at the fifth level, making him a strong figure even among Dao Ancestors.

hum!
A faint clang of a blade echoed in the ears of the retreating Dao Ancestor.

The faint, almost imperceptible blade energy sliced ​​through the void, creating fine cracks.

He looked solemn.

He had already retreated to the rear. Could Ji Jingqiu possibly break through the encirclement and reach him?!

Seeing that the powerful figures from various factions surrounded Ji Jingqiu but did not attack, thus locking him in the center, he breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the clanging of blades suddenly reached its peak!
He looked bewildered. The long sword fell again, piercing through the void. This sword was a sword of cause and effect, impossible to dodge or retreat from!

Even though the powerful figures in front of him attacked simultaneously, either to intercept him or to try to surround and rescue him, they still couldn't stop this destined strike!

In the darkness, he seemed to see the primordial river of destiny belonging to the Boundary Sea emerge, and a wisp of eternal blade light fell from above, piercing through his brow!
Holding the Azure Blade, Ji Jingqiu's spirit and energy soared to their peak. The spirit within the Azure Blade in his hand was more exhilarated than ever before, its light bursting forth and burning intensely, assisting Ji Jingqiu without reservation.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes swept across the area, and he found a breakthrough.

In an instant, the invisible barrier formed by everyone's aura was torn open.

Ji Jingqiu moved swiftly, breaking through the encirclement and arriving in front of the Dao Ancestor, whose brow had been pierced by a blade and who was still trying to break free from the suppression.

With a wave of his sleeves.

They then took this person into the inner universe and suppressed him at the bottom of the sea.

Ji Jingqiu's current inner universe is dominated by mountains and seas, with the influx of seawater formed by the convergence of the projections of the Nether Sea and the Bitter Sea.

Although illuminated by the clear light of the crystal, the waters blended into the Eight Treasures Merit Water, rippling with blue waves, yet still contained the characteristics of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Sea of ​​Darkness.

Because this Dao Ancestor, who was already suppressed by the sword light, lost his resistance in an instant and was sunk into the sea eye.

Having done all this, Ji Jingqiu turned around and held his sword in front of him, blocking several deadly techniques.

boom!
A hand suddenly pressed down from above.

"Divine weapons are ultimately just heretical practices!"

A Dao Ancestor with a cold and sharp gaze stood on the void, as if he were standing at an infinite height, looking down from above. He pressed down with a palm, causing the surrounding Great Void Sea to boil. The boundless waves rolled and surged, making his figure as majestic as a towering mountain!
at the same time.

A woman walked alone in the sea of ​​boundaries, her arms outstretched, her primordial spirit resonating with heaven and earth, evolving the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Endless spiritual energy burst forth from every inch of the void, like splashing ink on a scroll of the Great Dao. Then, with light steps, she pointed a finger at Ji Jingqiu's brow!

In an instant, golden light accompanied by myriad divine rays, containing an aura of immortality, was terrifying beyond measure.

For an instant.

Ji Jingqiu, who was previously free and unrestrained, is now like someone trapped in a prison, with enemies coming from all directions!
The powerful figures from all sides unleashed their full power without reservation, each employing deadly techniques!
Ji Jingqiu's sudden attack was beyond their expectations; they never imagined that the prey being hunted would dare to injure someone first.

What they found even harder to accept was the strength that Ji Jingqiu had displayed!

In a short period of time, he suppressed a Celestial Venerable and defied two Dao Ancestors. If this continues, when today's events are reported, all parties will become a laughing stock.

By this point, everyone could no longer help but believe that this person, regardless of whether he was Ji Jingqiu from the Netherworld, was definitely from the Primordial Palace!

Therefore, they cannot stop here!

The various Heavenly Kings were not qualified to participate in this battle and could only watch from afar, their hearts already trembling countless times.

They only wanted to confirm one thing now—was this person really Ji Jingqiu?!

As this battle continued and escalated, those who were unaware of the details or had just arrived all cast shocked glances at the scene.

"Whose disciple is so valiant? A Celestial Venerable, fighting alone against numerous Celestial Venerables and Dao Ancestors?!"

Some people looked surprised and serious as they observed Ji Jingqiu's move.

In battles at the eighth level, it is difficult to decide the outcome in an instant. The deeper one's cultivation, the harder it is to be truly defeated. However, this person's swordsmanship has brought the outcome of battles at the Heavenly Venerable and Dao Ancestor levels to the brink of defeat, enough to determine the winner instantly!

Even with the Daoist cultivation of the Heavenly Venerable and Dao Ancestor, who are already immortal and indestructible, they can only guarantee that they will not be instantly killed.

"When did the Yuan Chu Palace produce such a disciple?" the True Saint of the Yuan Shen Sect said solemnly. "Not only did the Heavenly Venerable defy the Dao Ancestor, but he also won so easily. The difference in skill is enormous."

"Uncle-Master, isn't this all thanks to the divine blade in his hand?" a young disciple asked from the side.

"The Celestial Venerable possesses a natal artifact at the True Saint level?"

"Yuan Chu Palace has a grand scale."

The True Saint of the Yuan Shen Sect shook his head and said:

“Divine weapons are part of one’s strength. If I gave you a true saint’s divine weapon, could you control it? If it doesn’t align with your Dao, you’d be lucky to unleash even a fraction of its power. This divine weapon is so compatible with him that it’s most likely his natal weapon.”

Nanhua Palace.

The Myriad Transformations Celestial Venerable, a disciple of the Nanhua Palace, inquired of the ethereal True Saint who was leading the group:
"Uncle-Master, should we make a move?"

The latter, clad in a long dress, her slender and beautiful figure enveloped in ethereal light, appeared otherworldly. She gazed at the battlefield and calmly said:

"There's no rush yet."

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Transformations frowned and said:
"If we don't take action soon, I'm afraid this Fellow Daoist Ji will suffer. A bunch of petty villains dare to besiege us disciples of our ancestors. If we don't teach them a lesson, this Boundary Sea will soon be in chaos!"

The Ethereal True Saint said calmly, "Look at this young man from the Primordial Palace, does he look like he's about to suffer a loss?"

Wan Hua replied matter-of-factly, “The source of our Taoist magic and supernatural powers all comes from our ancestor. They are naturally no match for us. If it were a one-on-one fight, there would be no reason for us to intervene.”

The Mystic Saint suddenly asked, "You're so eager to make a move?"

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Transformations said calmly, "Hasn't my uncle already learned the news? The main core members of [This Shore] are among these pseudo-transcendent sects."

"And while we were in seclusion, these sects caused quite a bit of trouble. According to the Pantheon, several transcendent sects have already disappeared!"

At this point, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Transformations was already filled with murderous intent.

Piaomiao remained silent, yet she clearly understood the Pantheon's hint.

In this world, only [This Shore] and a few other ancestral temples of the Great Dao can make a transcendent sect disappear silently.

If those three self-proclaimed invincible individuals were to join forces, they would be able to storm any Transcendent Dojo and suppress its resources.

These pseudo-detached sects are accomplices.

Therefore, in the eyes of Piaomiao and Wanhua, this battle can almost be seen as a prelude to a war between the Transcendent Sect and the Pseudo-Transcendent Sect.

"Has war broken out so soon after the seclusion ended?" the Ethereal True Saint muttered to himself. "Why is [This Shore] so determined to prevent the ancestors from returning? There are too many mysteries. Perhaps only war can uncover the truth."

After a brief silence.

The ethereal True Saint's voice rang out indifferently:
"Since they want war, then give them war. Go ahead."

"Disciple obeys." Wan Hua cupped his hands and, along with his fellow disciples, joined the front lines of the battlefield.

……

On the Yuan Shen Sect's side, after seeing Nan Hua Palace join the battle to aid Ji Jingqiu, the leading True Saint sighed softly and waved his hand, saying:
"You should also lend a helping hand to Fellow Daoist Ji of Yuanchu Palace."

"Yes, sir." The several Heavenly Venerables and Dao Ancestors from the Yuan Shen Sect who had come on this trip accepted the order and left.

The remaining True Saint frowned: "Senior Brother, should we not participate in the battle? That ferocious phoenix from the Primordial Palace is no pushover; we should be able to handle it."

The leading True Saint laughed and said, "This Heavenly Venerable surnamed Ji is no pushover either. The fate of the Primordial Palace is truly remarkable."

Not a word was mentioned about Fengming.

……

The Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

Huang Xu looked at Ji Jingqiu on the battlefield with great interest.

"Have you made contact? Have you confirmed whether this person is indeed Ji Jingqiu from the Netherworld?"

"Reporting to the Seventh Ancestor, news doesn't arrive that quickly, but not long ago, news did come from the Taixu Realm that a newly promoted Heavenly Venerable named Ji Jingqiu from the Yuanchu Palace received a gift left behind by the Taixu!"

"Oh?" Huang Xu's eyes gleamed. "He also obtained a tremendous opportunity from [Tai Xu]? What a lucky young man."

"Seventh Ancestor, the other transcendent sects have all made their moves. Should we join them as well?" the Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan inquired.

Huang Xu chuckled and said, "If you want to join, it's also to deal with Ji Jingqiu. If I remember correctly, the Crimson Lotus Realm Master seems to have put a bounty on this person?"

"Seventh Brother, when we're out there, we still need to keep in line with the other factions!" A handsome True Saint said calmly from the side.

Huang Xu smirked and raised his hand: "Then let's go and make a token gesture."

……

Center of the battlefield
The battle gradually intensified.

Ji Jingqiu brought out the power and characteristics of the Azure Lord to the extreme, disrupting the heavenly order with the law of cause and effect, which prevented him from falling under the siege of powerful figures from all sides.

This is a life-or-death battle, and also a protracted war.

But gradually, Ji Jingqiu felt that the pressure seemed to be getting less and less.

He looked surprised. How come there were fewer and fewer opponents as the fight went on?

He looked around and saw that the various extraordinary sects that Senior Brother Feng had mentioned needing to be wary of had inexplicably joined the war and were rushing to his aid!

Ji Jingqiu wondered to himself if Senior Brother Feng had seen it.

I'm still quite good at unifying the front lines!

With the arrival of allies from various factions on the battlefield, the situation instantly reversed and turned for the better.

A powerful figure from the Starry Sky Tower roared, questioning why the Yuan Shen Sect had joined the battle.

The latter, however, remained cold and did not offer a direct response.

Most people, however, remained silent.

Many people had a vague idea of ​​what was going to happen after Ji Jingqiu revealed his identity, but they never expected that it would still come to this worst possible outcome.

Ji Jingqiu raised his hand to forcefully confront the Dao Ancestor who had previously tried to suppress him with a single palm strike.

This person is incredibly powerful, one of the best in the field, and probably not far from becoming a true saint.

When he was besieged earlier, Ji Jingqiu had no time to deal with him. This man seized the opportunity and struck him on the back, shaking his inner world.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu made his move, first raising his hand to meet the attack head-on. Both of them froze and almost staggered.

The man's expression was solemn. He was the Dao Ancestor, while Ji Jingqiu was merely a Heavenly Venerable. Their Dao bodies clashed head-on, yet they were evenly matched?!

Ji Jingqiu swayed, causing the entire inner universe to tremble for a moment, before charging forward again!
"who are you?"

At this point, the Dao Ancestor couldn't help but ask.

The battle had reached its end by now, and despite their combined strength, they had failed to defeat Ji Jingqiu, not to mention the other members of the Chaotuo Sect joining the fray.

At this moment, none of the True Saints from the other sects have made a move!

Not only were they held back by Ji Jingqiu alone, but their own True Saint had also yet to show up.

He wanted to know who the other party was, who had withstood their siege and held out until now with his Celestial Venerable status, and even suppressed several people in front of them!

"Ji Jingqiu".

Ji Jingqiu spoke, his expression indifferent. Although he could be described as having won a "great victory" in this battle, he did not consider it a glorious achievement.

Although he was a Celestial Venerable, Qingzhu had already transformed into a True Saint Divine Weapon. He had never fought such a rich battle in his life.

Let alone those of the same realm, there shouldn't be many people in the Dao Ancestor's realm who could stop him.

This battle gave him an urge to sharpen his sword and face the True Saint.

"Is Ji Jingqiu of the Yuan Chu Palace the same person as Ji Jingqiu of the Netherworld?!"

The Dao Ancestor asked in a deep voice.

"A meaningless question, just like I never asked your name from beginning to end."

Ji Jingqiu said coldly, repeating again,
"Because even if you know it, it doesn't make any sense."

He didn't stop. In a single step, the world reversed, and he appeared directly in front of his opponent. He slashed down with his longsword, and a bright blade light burst forth, tearing through the sky and arriving across the void. The vast blade energy compressed the void, creating a terrifying scene!
In an instant, the waves crashed against the shore, and a raging tide rose in this vast sea of ​​nothingness.

The creatures on the surrounding battlefield couldn't help but turn their heads and cast strange glances.

boom!
The blades flashed, seemingly capable of severing the universe and establishing order. Their terrifying and unparalleled sharpness seemed to tear through the void, reaching infinite heights!

Ji Jingqiu's combat prowess remains unmatched on this battlefield, displaying an invincible demeanor!
For a celestial being to achieve this, even with divine weapons, is a feat rarely seen in the world.

puff!
In the end, the Dao Ancestor could not resist. His armor was shattered by the sword light, and his own body was covered in blood, revealing his decline.

After Ji Jingqiu suppressed this isolated and helpless powerful figure, he looked around.

The battlefield had already turned one-sided. The powerful figures from various families who had previously tried to hunt down Ji Jingqiu had instead become the prey and began to scatter.

Without a True Saint leading the way, they dared not flee to the depths of the realm, and most of them escaped into the Netherworld.

Sui Er.

Divine light soared into the heavens, and a terrifying, majestic aura burst forth from the Netherworld.

It was a thin old man, yet he exuded a vast and boundless aura of blood and energy, so vigorous that it formed its own boundless universe, reflecting the surrounding seas red.

He raised his hand to receive the powerful figures from various factions, and said with an imposing air, without anger:

"You transcendent beings, do you intend to wipe us out completely? The sea of ​​realms is boundless; they are merely passersby, never the masters!"

His gaze fell and locked onto Ji Jingqiu. Unlike his previous enemies, Ji Jingqiu's gaze alone brought him extraordinary pressure.

A powerful figure in the True Saint realm!
Is it an ancient being, or someone of the highest rank?

This made Ji Jingqiu's blood, which had been gradually calming down, boil again.

"This war was started by you, do you know your crime?!"

Ji Jingqiu smiled, not intending to argue with the other party, but staring intently at him.

At first, they thought he was easy to handle. They surrounded him and tried to capture him, the accomplice of Chaoge who had "committed a heinous crime" in the Chaoxia Realm. Little did they know that he had already joined the Yuanchu Palace and possessed a true holy weapon.

Nowadays, it's all about "the victor takes all," so what's there to say?

Seeing that Ji Jingqiu only smiled and did not respond, the old man gave Ji Jingqiu a deep look.

No matter what Ji Jingqiu said, he always had his own way of speaking, but this guy just wouldn't say a word!

"Young people of Yuanchu Palace, hand over all the young friends you have harmed and suppressed!"

In the blink of an eye, the old man's aura surged, and his breath resounded throughout the universe. He then raised his hand to suppress Ji Jingqiu, finding a pretext to do so.

He moved with incredible speed, striving to suppress the powerful figures standing in the distance without giving them a chance to react.

With a single palm strike, the supreme and majestic blood energy erupted, the palm print reaching the sky, and with a thunderous boom, it directly pierced through the void of the Boundary Sea!
When the True Saint made his move, his power and Daoist aura were completely different from those of the Heavenly Venerable and the Dao Ancestor. With a single palm strike, the void collapsed, and a large amount of chaotic energy poured out, causing everything to return to chaos. All Daoist laws vanished, leaving only his own Dao.

This overwhelming aura was so oppressive that Ji Jingqiu felt a suffocating pressure emanating from the very source of life!

The opponent's Dao power and cultivation were so high that even though they were both at the eighth realm, it was not just a difference between clouds and mud, but a difference between heaven and earth, as if they were standing in different levels of heaven and earth!
In this desperate situation, Ji Jingqiu seemed to be going against the current, slashing out with a blade that connected the pure energy above and touched the turbid energy below. It had existed since the beginning of time and was enough to illuminate the path ahead!
laugh--

With a soft sound, a flash of golden blood appeared.

The True Saints from afar, who had not yet made a move, were all stunned, revealing expressions of astonishment.

This includes the old man himself.

The hand, forged from celestial jade, was slashed by the blade, penetrating three-tenths of an inch into the flesh, and thick, mercury-like blood dripped down along the outline of the blade.

A true saint who focused on body refinement and whose vital energy was so abundant that it could evolve into a great universe was actually injured by this one strike!
