Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1007 - 363: The New Heavenly Demon (Part 3)

He Donghuang said in a deep voice:

"The Nether Sea's invasion of this realm is to seek All Worlds Suffering Sea. Once they merge, our deduced scenarios show that even transcendence could hardly stop them from devouring all realms further."

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath; the origins and dimensions covered by All Worlds Suffering Sea and the Spirit Ocean were beyond his expectations.

"What about the other one?" Ji Jingqiu inquired, "Should we let the head of the Four Demons return to the mountain?"

He Donghuang reached out and patted Ji Jingqiu's shoulder.

In Ji Jingqiu's current Sitting Forget State of Mind, bolstered by the Great Universe's heaven and earth blessing, he keenly sensed Master He's reinforcement of a barrier deep within his spirit.

"That guy is called Taiyi."

"The supreme one, the greatest and utmost, the ancient and primal; the 'one', Dao creates one, and one transforms into all things, thus Taiyi is the transformation of the 'Dao'."

"This person has roots in Dao akin to the 'Heavenly Will of the Great Universe'. He once was the sum of the heavenly will of another realm, an Innate God, nearly All-Knowing."

He Donghuang suddenly snorted coldly, "This guy is much harder to deal with than the other three, almost equivalent to a grand-sized Ji Tianxing."

"Whether it is the Heavenly Demon or the Death Demon, they all have pursuits, and wherever there's a need, there's a flaw. Yet this person is near devoid of desires or pursuits; even transcendence to him is merely a pastime when idle."

Ji Jingqiu's expression grew solemn as he learned, for the first time, Taiyi's true name and origins.

"We won't move against him for now."

He Donghuang paused, self-deprecating,

"Nor can we do anything to him, he is more troublesome than the Heavenly Demon; even at my peak, I wouldn't dare claim I can defeat him."

"This time, without his cooperation, we couldn't have captured the Heavenly Demon and Death Demon so smoothly."

"Of course, keeping him around is actually a good choice in the future scenarios we deduced earlier."

"With his invasion of this realm, it is enough to distract many forces in other realms, alleviating much pressure off the Federation."

Upon saying this, He Donghuang suddenly fell silent, and Ji Jingqiu was no exception.

Because, Taiyi actually stepped into the Eye of the Sea of Suffering!

Mu Shitian's expression turned grave, poised to seize the opportunity to suppress Taiyi under the Sea Eye of Bitter Sea, yet suddenly stopped.

He Donghuang narrowed his eyes, having heard the same rumor from Ji Tianxing.

A few breaths later, this ancient being involved in the Bitter Sea slowly walked back!

Seeing this, He Donghuang was silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on a certain figure, and slowly said: 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"After this battle, there will surely be many powerhouses and forces targeting Yanhuang's location, but Xuan Yi and Senior Qinglian will continue to guard Yanhuang for a period, as initially planned."

"But now it seems..."

"There's an addition of Ji Tianxing."

Is this where the 'future' lies?

Ji Jingqiu remained silent for a moment, saying, "Will Marshal Ji return to the Federation?"

"No," He Donghuang said faintly, "Didn't you hear him just now? Seven becoming saints is not as good as one transcending. So he will not return to the Federation; he will truly ascend to the Heavenly Demon's Divine Throne, pursuing the path of transcendence!"

Ji Jingqiu's heart trembled, Marshal Ji aiming to ascend to the Heavenly Demon Divine Throne, completely replacing Wuzhou's position?!

"His not returning is for the better, for in the outer heaven, he poses a greater deterrent to the powerhouses of all realms. Even the return of the Five Pillars must guard against a Ji Tianxing who has ascended the Heavenly Demon Divine Throne."

"But one thing you must remember, you need to always be wary of him!"

He Donghuang warned, "The saying 'Seven become saints, one not as good as transcendence' means he will stop at nothing to achieve transcendence!"

Ji Jingqiu's heart shook with dread.

This saying could indeed be interpreted in such a way?!

No wonder this is the Ji Master who shares both love and enmity with Marshal Ji.

A Marshal Ji occupying the Heavenly Demon's Divine Throne and sparing no effort...

No wonder Master He's earlier demeanor was so cold, even grim!

As if witnessing an old friend embarking on an irredeemable path.

He Donghuang glanced at him and said:

"What I have to say is about it for now; soon, Master Mu will find you to impart some other things."

Ji Jingqiu said, "Is Master He leaving?"

He Donghuang shook his head:

"My time descending here is short; leading you to observe Dao is fulfilling a teacher's duty."

"Next, I must clear the Federation's current crisis and attempt to rebuild the Federation's Divine Dao, to resist the Nether Sea's invasion."

"Rebuilding the Federation's Divine System?!" Ji Jingqiu was shocked, "Are the Divine Monarchs, Divine Lords, and the predecessors still going to return?"

"If there were a choice, who would wish to be this God?" He Donghuang shook his head, saying just one sentence, without much further explanation.

Before parting, he finally said softly.

"Ji Jingqiu, under this sky, life is truly insignificant, but insignificance doesn't mean humbleness. In the face of endless time, nothing in this world is eternal, not even true Gods, yet the brilliance that life carries grants us another form of eternity."

Under his guidance, Ji Jingqiu looked towards the Federation's territory, the human world.

With the Nether Sea infinitely close to reality, in the eyes of the two, the Spirit Light of all beings in heaven and earth was like lonely lamps lit on a boundless ocean.

Though nearly non-existent, they still connected point by point to form a line, and then merged into an 'ocean,' illuminating the endless Nether Sea.

The births and deaths of all spirits in the world are like ants, yet there remains silent and great beauty.

"They are this universe's most insignificant specks, yet also exist as miraculous beings."

"Ji Jingqiu, if you wish to tread the 'Other Shore' in the future, you must understand this point."

The Other Shore... beyond Sitting Forget, the spiritual Other Shore?

Ji Jingqiu quietly felt the unique Sitting Forget State of Mind of the moment.

It's heard that Master He and Master Mu advanced to True Saints and even sought transcendence within a few hundred years solely because they tread this path.
