Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1013 - 365: Federation’s Harvest, Words on Transcendence (Part 3)

Let the disciples of the Five Virtues Palace know, they might even be willing to fight to the death with your Federation.

Mu Shitian paused and said, "Additionally, there is something I need you to do. I have observed that in your Inner Realm, there is already a nascent Eight Treasures Pool. Once Merit Qi descends, you can use it to refine the Merit Pool to perfection, then send these True Spirits for reincarnation."

Mu Shitian spread open his palm, and ten True Spirits flew out, swirling around above his palm.

Ji Jingqiu was shocked and said, "Are these the predecessors who sacrificed themselves?!"

"Indeed." Mu Shitian replied softly, "Following their intentions from their past lives, they will be reincarnated into the Federation, and afterwards, some will go to various realms to cultivate, to repay karma."

"Is there really reincarnation in this world?"

"True Spirits passing on has existed since ancient times," Mu Shitian said, "but true reincarnation has yet to be established, this is the path of the Nether Ruins Lineage."

Upon hearing about the Nether Ruins Lineage, Ji Jingqiu immediately recounted his previous experiences to Master Mu.

Mu Shitian was slightly startled, unexpected that Ji Jingqiu had already made contact with that side and even gained their recognition.

He comforted, "On the path of the Dao, there is gain and loss; the hardest to fathom is letting go. By willingly letting go of one Protecting God, what you gain in the future will exceed imagination."

He lifted his palm slightly, and sent the ten True Spirits into the lotus pond of Ji Jingqiu's Inner Realm.

Ji Jingqiu asked, "Are the four Divine Lords and the twelve Divine Lords among them?"

Mu Shitian sighed, "In these years of confrontation with the Four Demons, they have been more depleted than even I, and with this dispersal of the Dao, even if they return, they will not be the same, and according to their intent, there's no need to deliberately seek them, just let them develop."

"Some among them are also tired."

Ji Jingqiu remained silent, as he had almost sorted out the causes and consequences of this event.

For the Federation, the outbreak of this battle was planned, yet ultimately helpless.

Mu Shitian paused slightly and continued with Ji Jingqiu:

"The second major gain from this occasion is the Heavenly Demon and Death Demon's true form, Wuzhou will temporarily be suppressed under the Eye of the Bitter Sea, to wear down its essence."

"As for the Death Demon, it will be sealed beneath the Federation's territory. If you are inclined, you may take its Sword Intent to hone your Martial Arts, but you must be exceedingly careful."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly became interested, "Hel second?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

In a certain sense, the existence of Hel allowed the Federation's Martial Arts from ten thousand years ago to be preserved.

Its significance to the True Seed Realm, in forging a superior Taoist Body, is monumental, almost irreplaceable.

Even though he opened up the Sixth Limit of the Heavenly Person to some extent to replace the existence of the Four Guardian Stars, the difficulty in forging a superior cultivation body has risen significantly.

"This will take time," Mu Shitian said frankly, "if it can be accomplished, all the better."

Ji Jingqiu communicated spiritually, "How will Hel be settled next?"

Mu Shitian did not respond via spirit communication, but directly said:

"I have already temporarily reached an agreement with Hel, that it will stay here to assist my Federation for a thousand years."

"Only a thousand years?"

Ji Jingqiu was taken aback.

A thousand years is long, but compared to Hel's lifespan, it's like a second to ordinary people.

Is Master Mu really such an easy-going person?

Mu Shitian chuckled lightly, "I think it's more than enough."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly understood.

For the Seven Marshals, the time from enlightenment was only a few hundred years, and Master Mu set a thousand-year agreement, already sufficient with caution, betting naturally that he would achieve True Saint or even Transcendence within a thousand years.

At that time, the thousand-year agreement would be nothing but a joke in light of his camaraderie with Lady La.

At that moment, the majestic deity over White Jade City lowered his gaze, reflecting the two tiny figures, their words naturally falling into his ears, but it didn't stir the slightest ripple in those gilded eyes, as if disdainful.

Suddenly.

A spiritual echo from Master Mu came to Ji Jingqiu's mind:

"Even if all Saints offer to protect me, this Reincarnation Body can only hold for another thousand years at most."

"The reason this battle had to erupt is mainly because I can no longer sustain it."

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned serious,

his gaze swept over the powerful figures seated in the Buddha Country, unexpectedly, they all volunteered to protect Master Mu, seemingly having witnessed the severity of the Bitter Sea's world invasion?

It seems there are still those among the powerful figures of the realms who 'see the bigger picture.'

Mu Shitian sighed lightly, "I do not fear the Bitter Sea, but I also can't bear the weight of the Bitter Sea, Ji Jingqiu, you must find your own path."

Ji Jingqiu understood Master Mu's meaning well.

If one only follows Master Mu's path, they will ultimately be bound to fail.

"The third major gain this time is our successful awakening of Donghuang's consciousness spiritual light, long silent upon the Time River."

"What exactly is Master He's state now?" Ji Jingqiu inquired immediately.

"Half alive, half dead." Mu Shitian paused, "I'm more dead than alive, my true form is sinking beneath the Bitter Sea, and this Reincarnation Body is suppressing the Eye of the Bitter Sea, positioned at a distance."

"Isn't it said that True Saints cannot die?"

Mu Shitian sighed, "True Saints indeed find it difficult to perish, given enough time, they can return, but my true form is lost in the depths of the Bitter Sea, unless one day the Bitter Sea fades, my true form will have a chance to transcend the tribulations."

"As for Donghuang, back then, he proved the Dao by strength, just a step away, but that very step was his downfall, afterwards he was forced to choose to partly harmonize at the source of the Time River, thus today, you can see him flowing downstream."

"It's just that..."

"There is great terror at the source of the Time River! Although he remains half-alive, he also needs to constantly subdue the source with his own life force, rarely fully conscious."

Ji Jingqiu said, "Could the terror possibly be above All Worlds Suffering Sea?"

Mu Shitian remained silent for a moment, "The Eye of All Worlds Suffering Sea appearing in our realm, perhaps is related."

Before Ji Jingqiu felt alarmed, Mu Shitian slowly spoke:

"I once had the fortune to meet two Transcenders from beyond our realm, and had a discourse on Tao with them."

"Afterwards, I invited these two to save our realm, assuming all karma myself, but they both declined without hesitation."

"The second one bluntly told me two fundamental reasons—"

"One, in the eyes of a Transcender, the Nether Sea is not to be feared, but only the All Worlds Suffering Sea is the most troublesome, even they are unwilling to be too involved."

"The second point..."

"They will not intervene in any realm where a 'Transcender' is being born!"
