Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 487 Akahime's Sky Has Collapsed
A single, unadorned line of light, devoid of any fancy tricks or variations, represents the very beginning of the form.

When the blade strikes, everything returns to its state before the beginning—no light, no shadow, no purity, no turbidity, no heaven, no earth, and even "existence" itself is not defined.

Sudatta reached out and blocked the sword light, blood splattering from his palm!

But he couldn't be bothered to be shocked that a Celestial Venerable could break through his Dao Body, because the sword intent contained in this wisp of light was extremely familiar to him.

He carefully comprehended the Daoist principles within it; wherever the sword light reached, all paths retreated, the heavens trembled, and all "existence" was regressing, returning to the state before the beginning of time—

The physical body, the primordial spirit, and the inner universe all collapse like bubbles, returning to nothingness!
Sudatta's face twitched, that's for sure!

Even if this Daoist aura is only four or five parts similar, its essence is clearly the Primordial Edge of his [Intercepting Heaven Sect]!
This is a direct transmission from the patriarch!

Where did this Ji Jingqiu from the Yanhuang Federation come from?!

Could it be Tianyan's junior disciple who fell into the hands of the Yanhuang Federation?

No, even Tianyan, the junior disciple, is not qualified to receive the ancestral master's inheritance from the Heavenly King.

Many doubts arose in my mind...

After a fleeting moment of shock, Ji Jingqiu's reprimand reached his ears, enraging Xu Tuo!
How dare a mere junior like them so disrespect their ancestor?!
But when Ji Jingqiu's last words reached my ears—

"Who are you?!"

Sudatta cried out in surprise and took a step back in full view of everyone.
"You're not Ji Jingqiu! You are... Impossible!"

An astonishing conjecture exploded in Sudatta's mind!

Looking at all the different schools of thought, the Path to Return to Truth is also a closely guarded secret. This child is clearly from the Netherworld, so how did he know about the Path to Return to Truth?
The news of the collapse of Guizhen Road not long ago exploded in Xutuo's mind, but he only felt it was utterly absurd.

The name that was personally inscribed and passed down by the patriarch...

An existence long lost to history...

At this moment, it feels like stepping out from the long river of history.

Sudatta suddenly stepped forward, his eyes like torches, shooting out a divine light that pierced the heavens and the earth!

He wants to verify its authenticity!

Rather than believing that this boy... is truly the "World Honored One" who has returned from a hundred years of slumber, he would rather believe that Ji Jingqiu obtained the information from who-knows-where and is trying to deceive them at this moment!
The aura of the supreme true saint pressed down on all directions, vast and boundless, suppressing the great Dao of heaven and earth. In ordinary realms, even time and destiny would stop and fall into stillness under the pressure of Sudatta!
However, all of this was in vain.

Ji Jingqiu remained calm and composed, his expression indifferent, looking down upon the myriad heavens throughout the ages. He stood there as if he were standing at an infinitely distant height, separated from them by countless ages!

The sword light that circled around Ji Jingqiu sliced ​​through everything, including the oppressive aura descended by Xu Tuo.

"It's...it's you?!"

Sudatta's expression changed drastically again, and even his True Saint body trembled. He recognized the source of this wisp of sword light!

His ancestor had two great enemies, one of whom was the founder of the Human World Pavilion, the Sword Master of Peace!

This wisp of sword light is clearly the legendary "Moon-Slaying Sword Light," a trace left behind by that sword master.

Now, something left behind by a patriarch is actually protecting Ji Jingqiu!
When Xu Tuo recalled the alliance that Ji Jingqiu had just mentioned, his heart skipped a beat.

Is this the covenant on the path to returning to truth?

The legacy left by the ancestors was solely for their protection of the Way.

"Is it really you...?!" Sudatta exclaimed, unsure whether to feel a chill or excitement. "It's you! You are Him! The name of the World-Honored One has come to be known in this world!"

In the Thirty-Six Heavens, all the invited spectators stared blankly at this person.

Even the True Saints present frowned, not understanding why this person was so agitated. Could it be that Ji Jingqiu really had some extraordinary identity?
"What 'World Honored One'!"

The world suddenly darkened, as if the blazing sun had been abruptly swallowed. The sky and earth were shrouded in a hazy darkness, save for a vortex that seemed to hold the eyes of a deity, its gaze chillingly cold.
"That old man Sutuo from the [Intercepting Heaven Sect] can't even protect his own lineage, and now he's still randomly claiming ancestors. Let me handle this!"

"Moon Goddess, capture this child, and I will grant you entry into my Heavenly Prison Palace."

suddenly.

Above the sky, it seemed to be transparent, illuminated by endless light, and a huge bright moon could be vaguely seen hanging above the Great Luo Heaven, shining through the thirty-six heavens!

A woman whose appearance and figure were even more stunning than Akahime descended upon this place along the passage; she was none other than the Moon Goddess of the Netherworld!
In terms of appearance, she is no less beautiful than Hela, and in terms of demeanor, she surpasses Akahime.

Chi Ji's expression was icy. As one of the most ancient innate gods of the Netherworld, the Moon Goddess was now obeying the orders of someone from outside the realm, which was tantamount to betraying the Netherworld.

The Moon Goddess immediately locked onto Ji Jingqiu and sneered:

"Everyone, no matter what he says, don't be fooled by this boy. The lineage of the World Honored One is the most eloquent!"

A profound silence fell over all of heaven and earth.

The World Honored One... one lineage?!

Someone suddenly looked at Sudatta, who had just mentioned... the name of the World-Honored One?
Which Buddha?

Ji Jingqiu stood with his hands behind his back, his aura blending with heaven and earth, making it difficult even for a True Saint to see through his foundation for a moment.

At this moment, he didn't even glance at the Moon Goddess, but simply spoke, as if issuing a decree:

"cut."

The sword light of Zhan Yue, which was responsible for creating an aura around Ji Jingqiu, was indignant. Damn it, he had been careless and this bastard had guessed that he had recalled his deeds on the road to returning to the truth. But this bastard was also shameless to order him around and not treat him like an outsider at all!
The next moment, it stared fiercely at the bright moon.

A sliver of sword light soared upwards!

When the familiar sword light shot towards them again, the Moon Goddess's expression changed drastically, and she gritted her teeth, saying:
"It's you?!"

The one who beheaded her in the Moon Palace that day was actually Ji Jingqiu?!
The Moon Goddess's gaze suddenly focused on the line of sword light that was slashing towards her.

Who left behind this method within the Yanhuang Federation?!
"The sword techniques left behind by Ji Tianxing?!" The Moon Goddess's eyes turned ruthless, convinced that she had guessed the other party's background.

Even though Ji Tianxing has now usurped the throne of the Heavenly Demon, the sword light he left behind cannot possibly be superhuman.

She raised her hand and grabbed at the sword light, the power of the Taiyin Divine Force swirling in her palm.

The next moment, a sword rang out, soaring into the sky. The sword light pierced directly through the Moon Goddess's palm, and blood shot into the sky!
An aura belonging to the transcendent beings permeated the air, as if the voice of ancient scriptures had come from countless ages ago. An unknowable, unobservable, and unthinkable phantom briefly stood between heaven and earth, its eyes sharp, like a celestial sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed, wielding the sword to slash at this moment!

This sword strike is the [Peaceful Universe Slaying of the Stubborn]!
Under this sword strike, the Moon Goddess felt as if she had encountered a natural enemy. Her divine core trembled, and she screamed in despair. Instinctively, she fled back the way she came without looking back.

Her instincts were telling her with absolute clarity—

This sword strike means certain death!
When the sword light appeared, the sun and moon lost their light, and the world lost its color. Its power seemed to be unstoppable!
After witnessing the divine power displayed by this sword light, everyone showed astonishment, including Sudatta, whose suspicions were confirmed.

“That’s… a trace left behind by the Sword Master of Taiping in the past?!”

"This sword intent, this sword energy... there's no mistake, this is the Moon-Slaying Sword Light left behind by that Taiping Sword Master!"

"But why would the surviving traces left by the Taiping Sword Master choose to obey this boy's orders?! This is a remnant of transcendence! It wouldn't be wrong to say it's an avatar left by the patriarch!"

Everyone was astonished and puzzled, completely unable to understand why there would be traces of the patriarch of the Human World Pavilion protecting Ji Jingqiu.

"Where are the people from the Human World Pavilion?" someone shouted.

"Hehe, how could the disciples and followers of the Human World Pavilion dare to show their faces? They've already become a branch of the Pantheon. If it were me, I would have hidden myself long ago." Someone who knew the inside story chuckled.

The moon goddess fled without looking back.

Another strange change occurred in the world.

In an instant, the wind and clouds churned, the world changed color, and a majestic portal appeared in the sky, as if someone had used the moon goddess to lock this space, forcibly opening a window in the sky for this world, opening a void portal that leads directly to the thirty-sixth heaven!

As the light rain fell and petals scattered, a road paved with a strong Taoist aura stretched out, radiating colorful brilliance.

"presumptuous!"

The Moon Goddess, who had just been commanded, now truly descended upon the scene. Her majestic voice fell, and a terrifying aura crushed the void. One black crack after another spread, shattering everything centered on the black and white dots.

That is the fusion of extreme yin and extreme yang!
However, before he could finish speaking, Sudatta suddenly made his move.

A wisp of sword light cut through all the sharpness of the world, evolving into a primordial wonder, truly earth-shattering, causing even the thirty-sixth heaven to faintly show signs of returning to its origin!

【Tai Chu Feng】!
It is also the [Primordial Edge], but its power surpasses Ji Jingqiu's previous one by many times, and it is a truly complete [Primordial Edge]!
hiss--

Like the sound of clothes being torn apart, the sky was cleaved open by this sword, and chaotic energy erupted, as if the world was ending and the innate order was being reversed!

"Sotapana!!"

A furious roar rang out, only to be met with Sudatta's indifferent second sword strike! He had no choice but to turn around and fight back.

This was a clash between two supreme true saints. The entire thirty-sixth heaven trembled as the great Daos collided, creating a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, a chilling aura from the depths of heaven and earth locked onto the two, forcing them to turn their battlefield outside the Great Luo Heaven and head towards the Great Universe.

The universe has now been completely liberated, revealing the full potential of the ancient ancestral land of the Great Dao, enough to accommodate the clash between two supreme true saints.

boom!
With a single, powerful sword strike, the sky exploded, revealing that the surrounding stars had been shattered by the sword energy emanating from it, with numerous star fragments scattering in all directions.

The clash between the two supreme true saints was like a cosmic catastrophe; their earth-shattering blows shattered the starry sky around them.

In the end, the true saint who had forcibly opened the "path" outside the thirty-sixth heaven retreated, his holy blood spilling out, his shoulder slashed open, revealing an angry expression, not understanding why this old man, Sutuo, had suddenly fought him to the death.

Both of them followed the path of returning to oneness. Given the special nature of a true saint, the damage to the Dao body is equivalent to the damage to the true body and the foundation of the Great Dao.

This old man was willing to exchange injuries for injuries in order to fight him to the death, which is why he was injured by him in such a short time!

"Sudatta! How dare you oppose my Heavenly Prison Palace?"

This truly holy being was enraged and demanded an explanation.
"Don't you want the last remaining lineage of the [Intercepting Heaven Sect]?!"

Xu Tuo remained silent, only raising his hand to draw his sword, each strike aimed at the opponent's vital points, clearly showing a determination to fight to the death.

The Jietian Sect has survived to this day, and only this one core lineage remains. The reason they have been able to pass on their teachings to this day is because the core of the sect is the traces left by the founder, and they only take the true lineage seriously.

Even the one who has attained the Dao and reached the One Realm could not gain the approval of the patriarch.

They have survived to this day only because of the oppressive power of their patriarch, but the [Intercepting Heaven Sect] has long since become a dead organization in name only.

Therefore, the traces of the patriarch's existence are the foundation of their lineage's existence.

If this person is truly that "World Honored One"...

As the two met their end and fought to the death.

The atmosphere among the various parties gradually became tinged with anxiety, unease, and fear.

The Celestial Venerable Li Hong, who was being trampled under Ji Jingqiu's feet, stopped struggling completely and began to tremble after Xu Tuo intervened and stopped another True Saint.

Who...who is this person?!

Even the few True Saints present all wore solemn expressions, unsure of what to do, and began to contact the outside world.

However, since Akahime broke through, this place had long been cut off from the outside world. Everyone could only try to contact the Holy King. Now that Akahime has completed her breakthrough, the ceremony can be considered over. Please put an end to the communication barrier.

But for a time, there was no response.

This Holy King then made contact with Ji Jingqiu.

"What do you want to do?"

"Are the five great gods ready to leave their homeland?"

"No one wants to leave their homeland; it's just that they lack the strength and can't fight alone." The Holy King's words were calm, but they were like an arm with bulging veins beneath a calm surface, where resentment and anger were both concealed by calmness.

"I will go to the Underworld and bring out the Azure God and the Underworld Lord," Ji Jingqiu said slowly, getting straight to the heart of the matter.

The Holy King was silent for a moment, then said, "Then the Holy King lineage will cooperate with your actions. If you can do that, we will have no reason to leave our homeland."

"My current identity is..."

Ji Jingqiu briefly introduced the disguise he had created on his path to returning to truth, but did not elaborate, before revealing his true "fangs".
"Then, I would like to ask you, senior, to protect me as my disciple!"

"If anyone inquires about my identity in private, senior, you need not go into details. Just subtly mention that when the Netherworld was first opened, there was also a very first... preacher!"

Even the Holy King was momentarily stunned, never imagining that Ji Jingqiu would go to such lengths.

The "World Honored One" on the path to enlightenment?
What exactly is this person's identity that gives Ji Jingqiu the confidence to deceive a group of people from the Chaotuo Sect?
"……it is good."

In the end, the Holy King agreed to Ji Jingqiu's request first, because he thought of Mu Shitian, who had gone against the current in the past.

All the vows he made in the past have been fulfilled in later generations; he has never broken his promise.

also……

The Holy King suddenly said, "Ji Jingqiu, before the two groups of outsiders known to the world, there was indeed an original preacher. Only the five of us know about this. He called himself the 'Great Dao Ancestor'."

Ji Jingqiu was shocked. Did the five people refer to the five God Lords?

Was this a lucky accident?

After the rebirth of the Netherworld, which was once the remnant of the Netherworld Palace, five God Lords were born. Indeed, one of the first preachers descended upon the Netherworld to preach to the five God Lords!

This person calls himself the Great Dao Ancestor. Which of the four is he?
Is it Taixu, Luohou, Wanqianqiu, or Youzhu himself?
"Has this person revealed his true identity?" Ji Jingqiu hurriedly asked, inquiring whether the Holy King could recreate the past scene.

“I’m not sure if that was his honor, but his aura was unique.”

Feeling the invincible aura emanating from the Holy King through their spiritual connection, Ji Jingqiu seemed to see a figure with its back to him, its back to the mortal world.

It truly looked down upon all the heavens throughout the ages, and surveyed the past, present, and future with its majestic aura that seemed to swallow the entire universe, causing even Ji Jingqiu to show surprise in his heart.

Of the four Great Dao Ancestors, apart from the Lord of the Netherworld, he had only met the Great Void of the other three, but he had heard of the other two.

On his journey back to the truth, he encountered two disciples who called themselves Wan Qianqiu. Although he did not have in-depth exchanges with these two, he pieced together the image of Wan Qianqiu from the conversations of the ancestors.

The same was true of the Daoist patriarch Rahu.

The two figures described by the ancestors are completely different from those depicted by the sage king.

Could it be the Lord of the Underworld?
Ji Jingqiu asked Jian Guang if he was known for his domineering nature.

The latter, busy chopping down the moon god, took a moment to reply:

"Of those four, the Lord of the Netherworld is the most gentle, with the hearts of all living beings in the heavens. He is a role model for us all! Although he has a domineering side, it does not match your description. As far as I know, none of the four Great Dao Ancestors match the image you just described."

Not any of the four Great Dao Ancestors?
"Are you sure you want to reveal your identity?" Zhan Yue Jian Guang asked seriously.

Ji Jingqiu calmly said, "Honglian has already guessed my identity through the Taixu Realm. There is no need to hide it forcibly. It would be better to use this identity to see if the Taixu Realm and the Ancestors reached a consensus back then."

Even Taixu chose to lend him a hand. If the other ancestors had obtained the truth of the past from Taixu, there was no reason for them to choose to erase him!

As long as the ancestors left behind orders related to him, there would be room for maneuver and flexibility.

"in addition……"

"To be an enemy of that one, the Heavenly Venerable's 'Ji Jingqiu' is far from enough."

Ji Jingqiu has made up his mind to use his identity on the path to returning to the truth as the core to try to create a great momentum and use the power of various transcendent sects to surround the "Netherworld" and "This Shore".

at the same time.

With Ji Jingqiu's nod, the Holy King resumed communication with the outside world.

Those present immediately contacted the outside world, focusing on the Jietian Sect and the Heavenly Prison Palace.

Before everyone could get an answer, the Holy King himself walked out of the temple with a solemn expression. He treated Ji Jingqiu with the respect due to a junior disciple and invited him into the central temple!
This scene horrified everyone who witnessed it.

They had long heard of this Holy King's strength, and most of the True Saints present today had witnessed it firsthand. That's why they accepted the invitation specifically to win him over.

Even looking across the vast sea of ​​realms, the Holy King's strength is definitely in the top tier. He only needs to make up for some of his weaknesses, and he will be qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with the three invincible beings of this shore!

But now they're treating Ji Jingqiu with the respect due to a disciple, inviting him into the temple?!
"Could it be that this person this season... is truly the reincarnation of some transcendent being?"

Someone murmured.

between heaven and earth.

Akahime, who was supposed to be the main character today, seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit. Her expression was blank, as if the sky had collapsed.

World Honored One?

What is the World-Honored One?
Isn't it just the Dao lineage left behind by Mu Shitian?

Why is the Father God so respectful to this guy?!
