Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1019 - 367: Twenty Years of New Winds and Qi (Part 3)

If it were someone else, the first reaction would be denial and doubt.

But this martial artist, after only a few years of practice, made rapid progress, reaching the realm of Heavenly Person Perfection, sweeping away all rivals of the same tier, showing an unprecedented momentum.

Now, after twenty years of tempering and honing, is it the decay of Heart Qi, or the Hidden Dragon emerging from the abyss, ascending to the peak once again?

No one can easily make a judgment about them.

Someone pondered and said, "The barrier of the Heavenly King is different from the Heavenly Human Boundary; it is the barrier of the Dao. With this kind of talent, the path must be one of Opening the Way. Twenty years? It's normal to remain silent for two hundred years."

"Not necessarily! Don't forget, this person had already entered the Sitting Forget state back then! That's a testimony of the Heavenly Venerable! With Sitting Forget aiding mutual comprehension, the time to break through the Dao must have been greatly reduced."

"I heard that twenty years ago, this person was able to defeat a group of Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Venerables because they borrowed the cosmic favor of the Great Universe and stepped into the Sitting Forget Domain, overlooking all Dao of Heaven and Earth!"

"Back then, it was the favor of the Great Universe's Heavenly Will. Can such favor continue non-stop for twenty years?"

Someone questioned on the spot, which brought a wave of agreement, thinking this was only common sense; where is the saying of an uninterrupted favor for twenty years?

Luoyan also thought that twenty years was indeed too short. Back then, her senior brother took over a thousand years under the master's guidance to promote to the Heavenly King.

For the Yanhuang Federation, twenty years might mean a generation.

But for a Heavenly King who has stepped onto the Longevity Road, twenty years is just a fleeting scenery on the path of cultivation.

"Predecessor Luoyan, it's almost time, let's go." Yun Jinghe reminded.

Luoyan nodded, just as the two were about to turn and leave, they saw at the end of the road ahead, a person walking alone, unkempt, hair disheveled, with a face of shaggy beard, as if just returned from bitter cultivation on the Heavenly Road, looking quite untidy.

But that upright spine, the intangible Spirit Qi emitted, made everyone cross-eyed instinctively avoid, spirit trembling.

This unusually conspicuous scene naturally caught the attention of the martial artists of various tribes on both sides of the road.

After examining for a moment, everyone was full of self-pity, feeling inferior.

Even Luoyan was as if facing a great enemy, a grave expression.

"Who is that person?" someone asked softly.

"Don't you recognize him? Thirty-seventh on the Heavenly King List, ten years ago defeated by the Four Extremes Sword Mu Qing in that person's hand!"

"Is it him?! He's here in the Donghuang Heaven again?! Hey, there's a good show to watch!"

"Let me count… since the last action, this person from the Federation has almost seven years, hasn't made a move, even hasn't appeared!"

Yun Jinghe's gaze condensed, but it wasn't because of Mu Qing of the Four Extremes Sword; it was due to another indifferent and handsome white-clothed swordsman not far away.

As viewing him, this one seemed hollow yet omnipresent, such feature evidently another Heavenly King.

Seeing this one came again, Yun Jinghe frowned slightly.

This person named Luo Qingjue, ranked even higher than Mu Qing on the Heavenly King List, placed eighteenth, originating from Sanyuan Cave.

Thirteen years ago, this person broke through the Dao's fog barrier, promoting to Heavenly King, his brother relied on him, rampaged in the Donghuang arrogantly, ultimately violating the iron law, injuring one hundred seventeen, killing seven from the Federation. Eventually being beheaded by Ji with the Karma Blade.

After that, this person dared not become an enemy of dozens of forces represented by the Federation, declaring enmity with Ji alone.

With Yun Jinghe's mind, he wanted to give Dragon Tiger Dojo a reminder.

Then.

Luo Qingjue seemed to notice something, his gaze swept over, indifferent and sharp, making Yun Jinghe, who had already promoted to Middle Heaven Position, feel suffocated.

"Hmm?"

Feeling the anomaly, Luoyan looked over, along with Yun Jinghe resisting this sudden Qi pressure.

Suddenly, a majestic aura like an emperor rushed in, colliding with Luo Qingjue hundreds of times in an instant without yielding an inch.

A magnificent man dressed in an Emperor Robe stood afar, casually glanced at Luo Qingjue.

Yun Jinghe's expression serious, another Heavenly King!

At this moment, three Heavenly Kings were present simultaneously; what are they here for?

"Junior Brother Yun, you go first, they're waiting for the companions of Xinzhai Palace over there."

Upon hearing this voice, Yun Jinghe visibly relaxed and excited.

He turned and cupped his hands respectfully, "Senior Brother Gu, I'll leave it to you here."

A seemingly ordinary man standing behind nodded slightly.

Seeing this man, Luoyan couldn't help but show curiosity, Spirit Communication asking:

"Is this the Nine Palaces Gu Chensha who first opened the way, then self-decimated, finally going further along the way?"

"Yes, that's Senior Brother Gu!"

Twenty years of wind and rain, the world has many prodigies.

But these people are neither Heavenly Prides nor extraordinary talents; they are strong men standing above Tao, traversing Heaven and Earth!

Among these many strong men, Gu Chensha of Nine Palaces is absolutely a prominent figure.

With a final glance, Luoyan's heart pounded, for the Heavenly King Masters present here seemed not limited to those seen.

No longer lingering.

Luoyan followed Yun Jinghe, arriving at the center of Donghuang Heaven; there were no mountains and Great Marshes, Heaven and Earth Dao Palace, only a seemingly ordinary mundane city, with many ordinary people living inside.

It's obvious Yun Jinghe wasn't here for the first time, greeting many people along the way, and many playful children scurried past them.

"These little ones are mostly Hundred Veins disciples, tempering their bodies here, preparing for future Martial Arts cultivation..."

Yun Jinghe introduced to Luoyan.

However, the latter seemed a bit bewildered.

Suddenly.

She had a strange feeling.

As if... entering someone else's Inner Heaven and Earth?

Stepping onto a green stone step, Luoyan looked down, seeing the scene of the Sun and Moon coexisting in the puddle between the stones.

She suddenly started, looked up, realizing the sky here was notably different from the Donghuang realm from before she traversed.

In the sky, splendid Tianyang and the hazy clear moon, this is Sun and Moon Shining Together, the foundation of Heavenly King's reality?

Suddenly.

A dull thunder in Heaven and Earth.

Only for a moment, the sky filled with dark clouds, thunder rolling, a sudden torrential rain, raindrops as big as peas splattering on the green stone.

The two quickened their pace, finally entering a courtyard in this deep place.

The first thing that caught the eye was a lotus pool where raindrops fell crisply like shattered jade, with a few lotus flowers quietly blooming in the pond, oblivious to wind and rain.

"True Spirit Pool..."

Luoyan couldn't help but take a breath, recognizing this renowned yet rarely seen 'True Spirit Pool.'

Knew this Heavenly Person's foundation was unprecedented, yet didn't expect the base element includes such a rare thing as the [True Spirit Pool]!

No wonder less than twenty years, this Inner Heaven and Earth already has a "real" foundation, the Sun and Moon coexisting, comparable to an experienced Heavenly King!

Luoyan felt agitated, twenty years ago, this person swept numerous Heavenly Persons, even Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Venerables who weren't reluctant to degrade their Fruit Positions to intervene were all repelled by this individual, famed across the heavens, acclaimed as the first Heavenly Person ever.

Twenty years later, what kind of aura does this person now possess?

Her gaze searched, finally resting on a distant pavilion, vaguely seeing a person reclining with eyes closed, seemingly listening to rain hitting lotus leaves, or perhaps in a leisurely Big Dream.

This dream was twenty years of iron horse and icy rivers.

Surprised delight, Luoyan's heart puzzled, why within a hundred meters, does she feel blurred, vague, unable to discern?

When she focused again, the pavilion was empty.

Yet within her perception, indeed something existed...

"Dao Trace?!"

Luoyan's expression couldn't hide astonishment.

This one indeed stepped into Heavenly King; otherwise, how could they leave Dao traces between Heaven and Earth!?
