Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 1415 - 501: Investiture of the Gods, Five Directions and Five Emperors, Other Shore
Ji Jingqiu did not respond, but instead asked:
"You certainly spared no effort. In the recent calamity, the number of Heavenly Court’s Star Monarchy Divine Generals lost exceeds those of other True Saints. In this way, who can point fingers at you?"
Doumu raised an eyebrow and said:
"Did Emperor Yi not tell you? As long as the Investiture of the Gods exists, even if these Divine Generals die in battle, they can instantly return through tribulation. Without such means, how could our Heavenly Court have absorbed formidable figures from all directions and governed the Vast Boundary Sea in the past?"
Ji Jingqiu’s heart trembled, Investiture of the Gods?!
He tentatively asked: "Who holds the God-beating Whip now?"
The Heavenly Court within the Sea of Realms is not completely identical to the Heavenly Court from his past memories, yet bears many similarities.
Three Treasures Ruyi, Investiture of the Gods...
Doumu sneered: "What, Emperor Yi didn’t tell you this item is in his possession?"
The information revealed by these words was substantial enough for Ji Jingqiu to vaguely guess Doumu and the Heavenly Court’s true intentions.
A century ago, the one who unified the Sea of Realms was the Heavenly Court, no wonder Doumu previously dared to assert she had never heard of any "World Venerable".
As the long-hidden Heavenly Court re-emerges into the world, and Doumu Yuanjun prepares to restore the Returning to Truth Daoist Path, is the true intention the entire Sea of Realms?
The Investiture of the Gods coupled with the God-beating Whip is the Heavenly Court’s reliance to dominate the Sea of Realms through Divine Dao? If mirrored from his past, these items can at least confer three hundred sixty-five Gods...
Under Doumu’s invitation before All Saints, Ji Jingqiu sighed and finally accepted her invitation.
This scene, even if all parties vaguely anticipated the outcome, still drastically changed their expressions.
Among them, Feng Ming, Kong Ming, and others who favored Ji Jingqiu, all displayed grave expressions.
Did the World Venerable choose to join the Heavenly Court? Is it to shoulder the Silent Extinction Tide together?
In the scene, True Saints from various families gradually realized certain issues.
Originally, the World Venerable and Heavenly Court represented forces from a century ago separately, but now they have chosen to ally.
Deep within the Heavenly Court, there is also the suppression of such a terrifying great calamity.
In the Sea of Realms, who else dares to challenge the Heavenly Court?
Not afraid of mutual destruction?
And Heavenly Court using "common struggle against great calamity" as a pretext, is nearly dictating like a king, how should all sects respond and face it?
"The Sea of Realms is about to change again..."
Some True Saint murmured.
Originally, with the emergence of numerous hidden sects and Great Dao Ancestral Lands, the layout of the Sea of Realms had changed repeatedly.
And now with the heavenly court’s emergence, there’s a great possibility of large-scale disaster affecting and spreading across the entire Sea of Realms.
At this point, Doumu Yuanjun again struck a heavy hammer deep in the hearts of all Saints:
"A century ago, the Heavenly Court forged a divine artifact covering Heaven and Earth named the Investiture of the Gods to resist the great calamity."
All Saints showed expressions of surprise and doubt.
Investiture of the Gods? As the name implies, can confer divine spirits? But they are True Saints standing at the pinnacle of the mortal world, undying, why would they choose to transition to Divine Dao, unless this Investiture of the Gods can help them reach the transcendence?
"Those whose names are on this list, even after death their True Spirit doesn’t disperse, as long as the Investiture of the Gods remains intact, they can immediately revive and return." Doumu Yuanjun continued.
Just this point, made all Saints exchange glances, realizing something, someone asked:
"Is it regardless of location?"
Doumu Yuanjun nodded: "As long as within the Sea of Realms, even if it’s the intangible and omnipresent Silent Extinction Tide, it can hardly annihilate those named on the list’s True Spirit."
Only now did all Saints slightly react, this point alone vastly surpassed the undying of True Saints.
"This list can appoint three hundred sixty-five True Gods, and eighty-four thousand subsidiary lesser gods. Among True Gods, led by the Five Emperors, all are Ancestors of Divine Dao, Masters of the Heavenly Court—"
These words were like a huge stone cast into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves within the hearts of all Saints. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
All Saints’ expressions changed dramatically, staring incredulously at the empress before them.
"Five Great Dao Ancestors?!" Someone blurted on the spot.
Doumu Yuanjun replied calmly: "During the peak of the Heavenly Court, indeed there were five Great Dao Ancestors, but now only remnants of Fruit Positions remain. To counter the great calamity together, the Heavenly Court is willing to offer three remaining Fruit Positions to assist future living beings to the pinnacle of Daoist Path, to resist the great calamity together."
All Saints were completely startled. If the Silent Extinction Tide is like a guillotine hanging incessantly overhead, then what she just proposed is the stairway to heaven that would drive everyone mad!
"Dare I ask Heavenly Emperor, how does one make the Investiture of the Gods?"
"Heavenly Emperor! How is the position of the Five Emperors judged?"
"The Fruit Positions of the three Great Dao Ancestors... via what means will the master be chosen?"
Seeing this scene, Ji Jingqiu’s eyes were deep. With these strategies enacted, the upcoming Heavenly Court is bound to become the center of the entire Sea of Realms...
Doumu Yuanjun’s gaze swept across all present Saints, her voice calm yet authoritative:
"Heavenly Court will reopen the ’Ten Thousand Rivers Struggle’, all beings within the Sea of Realms can participate. This selection is also for those willing to resist great calamity for the Sea of Realms."
Soon after, all Saints surged forward, afraid to lag behind, striving to ask about the Investiture of the Gods and the Silent Extinction Tide.
Quickly, All Saints took leave, Doumu did not hinder them, dispatched Divine Generals to see them off.
When leaving the Heavenly Court, All Saints discovered they could choose ’entry points’ at will, realizing Heavenly Court has four Heavenly Gates connecting to the four sections of the Realm.
Belonging to different sects, all Saints chose nearby Heavenly Gates, leaving the Heavenly Court, swiftly returned to their sects, and shared the happenings within the Heavenly Court.
Kong Ming and others also departed hastily, Feng Ming and the other three initially intended to leave two people behind, but Ji Jingqiu shook his head and urged them to return to the palace promptly, locate Uncle Master Qin, and inform him the true culprit behind Netherworld has revealed its True Form.
The three were puzzled but adhered to his instructions, leaving at the first moment.
