Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1050 - 377: Cangqing Old Friend, the First Dao Ancestor

Ji Jingqiu wasn't polite either; this time he had suffered a Dao injury, which if not handled properly could turn into a hidden wound, just like the case with Gu Shouzhong before.

He took two hearty gulps, feeling the Dao light soothing his entire being inside and out, and considerably easing his discomfort as his injuries were healing.

"This is indeed a good thing!"

He looked at the Dao Source in Ku He's hand and praised.

"Absolutely."

After confirming Ji Jingqiu's injuries, Ku He felt it had nothing to do with himself, as it was Daoist Friend of Ten Thousand Skills who had been too enthusiastic this time.

He cleared his throat and said,

"This after all is the source of the Dao! For regular Heavenly Persons, just that sip earlier could forge their Dao Form and find the opportunity to open the Illusion Dao."

"Taoist Friend, let's join forces to search for Dao Sources and split it fifty-fifty."

Ku He was well-prepared, taking out another container and splitting the remaining Dao Source in two, handing a portion to Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu was inevitably a bit surprised.

How could this person be so straightforward?

The next moment.

Ji Jingqiu's expression slightly changed as he took the container with the Dao Source and said urgently: "Taoist Friend Ku He, I have some matters to attend to, I fear I must leave first."

Ku He was taken aback; he was leaving just after splitting the Dao Source?

He was reluctant for a moment.

He always felt that his sudden "change of luck" might be related to this individual, as their fates entwined and something miraculously changed after they traveled together.

At this moment.

A guide suddenly emerged from the crack in the Divine Tree.

Watching Ji Jingqiu being guided towards the Daluo Heaven behind the crack, Ku He's expression changed slightly, could this Taoist Friend have ties to the Ancient Gods of the Cangqing Lineage?!

"Taoist Friend, until we meet again in Daluo Heaven!" Ku He hurriedly shouted.

Ji Jingqiu only had time to greet Mu Rouzhi before ascending to the Daluo Heaven, which many Heavenly Kings yearned for.

As he opened his eyes.

Before him was a Pure Land courtyard rooted in the Void.

At the center of the courtyard was a seedling, not showing much growth from over twenty years ago.

The Bodhi Tree from back then had now taken its shape, with a grand appearance connecting heaven and earth.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu's arrival, the seedling seemed almost sentient, with its single leaf swaying gently.

In front of the seedling stood another familiar face.

A woman in a black dress, her long hair like a waterfall, exuding mystery and ancient charm, her appearance unchanged over the years, with an added touch of allure.

This was the woman Ji Jingqiu had seen in the Po Suo Half-plane years ago.

At this moment.

Her eyes, clouded with mist, assessed Ji Jingqiu.

Cang You looked at him with a kind of amused curiosity and said with amazement:

"You Yanhuang Federation folks truly produce anomalies; your rate of advancement is even more astounding than that of Mu Shitian and the others back then."

"It's been just a few years, and you're already at the threshold of becoming a Heavenly King, ready to step through at any time?"

"Come to think of it, what are you waiting for, why not Breakthrough to Heavenly King? The Great Universe ahead isn't something a single Heavenly Person can traverse recklessly."

"What, could it be true as rumored, that you have ambitions to open the world, waiting for the right moment?"

"Senior, long time no see. How are Ke and Sister Qin doing these days?"

Ji Jingqiu politely greeted,

"Also, may I know how to address you, Senior?"

"The two of them are secluded in Daluo Heaven, working hard to catch a glimpse of your back." Cang You said blandly, "My name is Cang You. By seniority, you should call me Martial Uncle; back in the day, Mu Shitian once joined the Cangqing Lineage to study under me as a guide."

"Aunt Cang."

Ji Jingqiu spontaneously adjusted the form of address and then gazed upward.

He immediately noticed the once-deep blackness of the Void was now brightly lit with blinding Dao light; strong figures were clashing there.

"What is that..."

"That's a battle between Saint Level powers."

Cang You didn't fret over the form of address, also focused on the war.

"My Master has returned and is clashing with the Nine Mountains True Saint of the Undying Mountain."

Saying this, Cang You glanced at him,

"That glance you barely endured earlier came from Nine Mountains; did you act against a disciple of the Undying Mountain? Nine Mountains' Innate Divine Ability is particularly sensitive to the changes in Heavenly Destiny."

"Just a single glance?" Ji Jingqiu seemed serious, "Is the gap between me and a True Saint that wide?"

For the past two decades, he's been pondering the possibilities after ascending to Heavenly King, actively contemplating possible counters to Heavenly Reverence.

While it appears the True Saint stands two ranks above a Heavenly Venerable, from Heavenly Venerable to True Saint, the three ranks actually all belong to the Eight Realms, with no heavenly limit between realms; only the endless accumulation of time and Dao Power.

"Even a pig, if it lived from the Heaven and Earth Creation to now, carrying countless tribulations of accumulated Dao Power, could easily crush a Heavenly King."

Cang You glanced at him,

"Let alone Nine Mountains, who is no pig, but a naturally born Divine Beast, the world's first Emperor Phoenix, comparable to the Emperor Simurgh of the Phoenix Blood Palace, and their status and power rival that of Kong Laoyi of the Five Virtues Palace, all three known as the ancestors of all avians in this world."

"Back in the day, Nine Mountains contended for the control of the World Tree with my Master and was subdued, and now having returned after tribulations, his Daoist skills have advanced considerably, ordinary True Saints aren't his match, having already ascended to the First Tier of this era."

"He was always highly protective, and you took action against his disciples; well done—you are indeed worthy to be an external disciple of the Cangqing Lineage."

Cang You nodded, with a smile that bore a hint of teasing.

"An external disciple?" Ji Jingqiu's expression remained unchanged.

From Master Mu's character, it's more likely the Cangqing Lineage served as a protector for the World Venerable Lineage.

"Has Senior Qing returned?" Ji Jingqiu noticed the key point and said, "After this battle, I'd like to meet with the Senior."
