Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1027 - 370: A Stroke That Reverses Time

"Unbelievable!"

Mu Qing said in a deep voice.

The crowd's gaze swept over the severed tail of the Flood Dragon and the knife marks on the stele.

A mere Heavenly Person, even if the knife marks left behind the Sword Intent of his prime, how could he possibly slice a Heavenly King's Undying Dharma Body in half?

Yet, the Dao Rhyme and Sword Intent contained in this strike clearly surpassed the realm of a Heavenly Person! Even they could only gaze in admiration!

Liao Dong suddenly spoke: "Was the corrosive Qi embedded in that Sword Intent also from Ji Jingqiu?"

He looked toward Gu Chensha, hoping to get an answer.

The others also noticed this and simultaneously looked toward Gu Chensha, exerting pressure. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Especially Gu Shou, whose gaze was particularly gloomy. With Luo Qingjue as a previous testament, he still overturned the entire situation.

Once today's event spreads out, he already anticipates how many will be in awe of Ji Jingqiu's unpredictable means.

At the cost of trampling on his dignity!

Gu Chensha said indifferently: "With your eyesight, can't you tell that this knife mark was left not long ago? Naturally, it was made by Junior Brother Ji."

Liao Dong frowned deeply, this answer did not satisfy him; what concerned him was the decay contained within the knife mark.

Was it also left by Ji Jingqiu?

Given Ji Jingqiu's age and past experiences, how could he possess such decayed Dao Rhyme?

Did he make an error in cultivation while comprehending Sitting Forget?

"I don't believe it." Gu Shou said fiercely, "That Ji Jingqiu is just a Heavenly Person, on what grounds could he leave such a knife mark?!"

Gu Chensha glanced at him: "I understand the feelings of Taoist Friend who doesn't wish to accept it."

Gu Shou's face was ashen, nearly about to make a move here, but residual sense held him back for the time being.

Here, within the stronghold of the Yanhuang Federation, who knows what hidden hands might still reside.

The others, however, paid no mind to Gu Shou, only Luo Qingjue exchanged a glance with him, sharing a feeling of being hard hit comrades.

Gu Shou glared coldly at Luo Qingjue, appearing to bear a grudge against him as well.

The crowd began to explore the knife mark, one after another.

And this knife mark seemed to have exhausted most of its Dao Rhyme while splitting Gu Shou before, at this moment the Sword Intent remained vast and majestic, but its power clearly declined more than a notch.

Several experienced it in succession, returning unscathed.

This scene made Gu Shou's expression grow even gloomier.

"Gu Brother, is this confined area truly Taoist Friend Ji's place of retreat for twenty years?" Qi Tian asked, "Isn't it a bit like building a prison?"

Gu Chensha responded mildly: "There's another location, which isn't convenient for you all to visit."

"Inconvenient? Or is it that you wouldn't dare let us go?" Luo Qingjue said coldly.

Gu Chensha looked at him, "That's the place for suppressing the Death Demon, where Junior Brother Ji often sharpens his blade and hones his Dao practice, it is also a critical site for our Federation. I don't know what kind of person Luo Brother considers himself, to think he can visit our Federation's important territory."

Using a very calm tone, he calmly humiliated Luo Qingjue.

The latter had no words to refute, grudgingly enduring, before finally walking off with a wave of his sleeve.

The land under the Yanhuang Federation suppresses the Death Demon's true body—this is common knowledge.

The various dojos have never lacked those coveting this matter, yet firstly, the alliance led by the Yanhuang Federation is formidable, and secondly, should the true body of the Death Demon be released, nobody could bear the responsibility.

The crowd looked around, finding no other discoveries, only the remaining knife mark seemed to attest to the extraordinary path Ji Jingqiu had blazed.

They even wondered if Ji Jingqiu truly walked a road less traveled.

"Is it the Nether Sea?"

Suddenly, Qi Tian's voice echoed in Gu Chensha's spirit.

"Since Taoist Friend Ji believes that a complete Heavenly King should match with Sitting Forget, what he must first resolve is how to step into Sitting Forget..."

"Is the answer hidden in the Nether Sea?"

Gu Chensha raised his eyes, Qi Tian's eyes were blood-red, his gaze increasingly manic, yet his entire being grew more rational and calm with the spreading madness.

Gu Chensha didn't give him an answer, nor a reason to.

Yet Qi Tian seemed already convinced.

"Could you inform me of Taoist Friend Ji's current whereabouts?"

He inquired through private spirit communication earnestly.

Even aside from his faction's commands, he eagerly wished to meet this person.

Gu Chensha shook his head; this time, it wasn't withholding on purpose, but rather that he didn't know either.

Qi Tian sighed lightly:

"Taoist Friend Gu, are you aware that the stance above towards the Nether Sea is primarily disdain? Some attribute the failures of the five pillars' breakthroughs in the past to the Nether Sea."

"They are considering and executing a means to thoroughly rid themselves of the Nether Sea's parasitic malady."

"Yet opposite..."

Opposite your Junior Brother Ji is attempting to carve out an unprecedented path, benefitting countless generations!

What Qi Tian found most lamentable, even heart-wrenching, is that the path to becoming a Heavenly King still couldn't stop those people, as their aim was transcendence.

"Even as a parasitic malady, despite bloodletting and bone scraping, it can't be eradicated."

Gu Chensha said calmly.

Born of the Emperor Heaven Nine States, Gu Chensha understood the Nether Sea's nature more than most.

In fact.

The Emperor Heaven Nine States is the forefront currently devoured by the Nether Sea, even the Great Universe falls behind it.

"Taoist Friend Gu, take care."

Qi Tian said softly,

"We are but the vanguard; there are others eyeing your Federation this time, even some within the Five Divine System are merely aids."

"Moreover, be wary of Taoist Friend Gu Shou; originating from Bixiao Sea, he is domineering by nature and has never suffered such a loss in this life, he likely won't let it rest."

Leaving a warning, Qi Tian then chose to leave alone.

Gu Chensha's gaze was deep, some within the Five Divine System are only assistance?

...

...

Donghuang Heaven.

"Have you heard? Gu Shou and six respectable Heavenly Kings arrived at Ji Jingqiu's retreat spot, only to be astonished and repelled by the knife mark, Gu Shou himself was even halved, revealing his true form!"
