Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1024 - 369: Sitting in Meditation Amidst the Vastness of Eternity (Part 2)

The threshold of the Heavenly King, is it truly open for anyone to come and go freely?

Each time you sever yourself, the difficulty in achieving the breakthrough and being acknowledged by the Heaven and Earth Dao will only skyrocket.

Yet surprisingly, this Gu Chensha has managed to achieve a breakthrough to the Heavenly King in such a short time!

Qi Tian spoke gently: "Gu, we came here to meet Taoist Friend Ji. Please introduce us."

Gu Chensha calmly replied, "You're too late, Junior Brother Ji is currently not in Donghuang Sky; he's already left."

"Has he truly left, or does he dare not meet us?" Gu Shou smiled brightly.

Qi Tian contemplated, "Rest assured, Gu, I can guarantee that everyone here knows their limits and won't act recklessly."

Luo Qingjue suddenly spoke:

"Didn't Ji Jingqiu say no Martial Artist should act recklessly in residential areas, harming ordinary people, and violators would be executed?"

"Then let's force him out! I want to see if Ji Jingqiu can continue to hide and not appear!"

Gu Chensha's gaze instantly turned indifferent and murderous.

"You can try."

He uttered each word steadily.

Meanwhile.

Several figures quietly entered the scene, two stood behind Gu Chensha, and one stood behind Luo Qingjue and the others.

The latter smiled faintly and said, "Gu, with today's setup, you can't suppress us; you should introduce the person involved."

In the scene, there were only three people on Gu Chensha's side, while the opposition had six.

The clash of energies between the parties caused black fissures to open in the void, with ripples almost spreading afar.

Gu Chensha waved a sleeve, capturing all ripples into it, still speaking calmly:

"If you really want to die, there's no need for Junior Brother Ji to act; I will eliminate you all today."

Luo Qingjue coldly stated, "Gu, who do you think you are? Even when Ji Jingqiu achieved the breakthrough to the Heavenly King, dare he say such a thing?"

Gu Chensha eyed him seriously, saying, "When Junior Brother Ji achieved Heavenly King breakthrough, killing someone like you probably only takes one strike."

"You..."

"Enough." Qi Tian's tone intensified, with a trace of madness spreading deep in his eyes, coldly stated, "Sanyuan Cave should not want to be enemies with the current Yanhuang Federation."

Luo Qingjue forcibly suppressed his murderous intent, eyes cold: "I'm only here for Ji Jingqiu!"

Qi Tian turned to Gu Chensha, calmly asking, "Gu, please point us the way. Leaving doesn't matter; we can find Taoist Friend Ji ourselves."

At this time, Gu Chensha received a message from Ji Anquan, paused momentarily, and slowly stated:

"Junior Brother Ji has achieved the Dao, comes and goes freely; I don't know where he went. If you don't believe he's left, I can lead you to where he sequestered himself these years."

Qi Tian's eyes flickered with a smile, "That's fine, we mean no harm; we just want to see where Taoist Friend Ji currently stands."

Gu Chensha deeply looked at this person; among these people, only he seemed intriguing, making him hard to discern.

"Follow me."

Gu Chensha turned and led the way ahead.

The Heavenly King thoroughly ascended with the omnipresent trait; reaching any place is just a thought away.

Yet, everyone honestly followed behind Gu Chensha.

This was because Donghuang Sky, being one of the Ascension Platforms, links various boundaries, the void is chaotic, and slight carelessness might lead to unknowingly entering a Void Rift, unsure of where they'd be transported.

Watching the rare departure of several Heavenly Kings from afar, the spectators weren't sure whether to feel regret or relief.

They nearly thought these people would disregard the rules and start a fight.

Someone whispered, "Is Ji Jingqiu really not in Donghuang Sky?"

"Haha, as long as he hasn't gone to the Three Thousand Yanfu, he's still within the Great Universe, and with the All-Knowing trait, can't he return in just a thought?"

"The situation seems off, six Heavenly Kings gathering just for Ji Jingqiu... Is someone plotting?"

"Just enjoy the show."

...

On the way, in response to Qi Tian's probing, Gu Chensha revealed some information under Ji Anquan's guidance.

"Junior Brother has been contemplating the path of destiny and karma these years."

Just this sentence made Luo Qingjue and others furrow their brows tightly.

In the Heavenly King Domain, one can claim longevity but still faces heaven's calamities and must undergo tribulations.

Particularly for those Heavenly Kings lacking nourishment and protection from World Power, not only is progress challenging, but they are constantly aware of Dao erosion and increasingly frequent tribulations.

For a Heavenly King, the Harmonization of One Realm is also harboring a realm.

At this level, beings are too powerful, easily thinning a realm to enhance themselves, stirring countless karma and destinies, ultimately being backlashed by the ripples in the River of Destiny.

Moreover, pioneering the Illusion Dao to merge with Heaven and Earth is inherently a defiant act, targeted by the intangible Dao.

Simply put, although the Heavenly King may roam a realm, going anywhere in the worlds, true freedom is still elusive.

To initially transcend this, one must decipher their own Heavenly Destiny, no longer drifting in the River of Destiny, constantly influenced by karma and destinies.

And this is exclusive to the Heavenly Venerable.

Once a Martial Artist enters the Eight Realms, condensing the Heavenly Venerate Fruit Position—

Heaven and Earth favor their intentions, all things follow their nature; all desired matters can be achieved, all detested matters rarely reappear.

Additionally.

The Heavenly King possesses the Undying trait, even among those of the same stage, despite differing hierarchies, they remain overarching and difficult to truly kill.

Only the Heavenly Venerable can utilize the power of the River of Destiny, utterly killing a Heavenly King who laid numerous life-saving measures early on.

This Ji Jingqiu dares to borrow the path of karma to glimpse true destiny without yet passing the Heavenly King threshold; what does he intend?

"...Besides, Junior Brother's main focus has been exploring the Nether Sea."
