Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1053 - 378: The First Bloody Battle, Hundreds of Millions of Heart Lamps (Supplemental Update)

None of the powerhouses present intervened in the battle between Nine Mountains and Cangqing, instead choosing to confront each other, with no one stepping into the arena.

Especially Shouzhen and several others, ensuring that this war would not escalate, keeping it within certain limits, while also seeking a solution.

"The situation is unclear, and I do not support expanding the war. If there is indeed a conflict, it can be resolved through other means, such as limiting the struggle to the Heavenly King and Heavenly Person levels."

The Yin Yang Daoist Venerate from the Yin Yang Dao Palace also stepped forward, his expression calm, standing alongside Shouzhen.

These three are all Ancients.

Although they haven't acted for many years, at the True Saint level, they are undeniably strong, standing in the highest realms. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Have you elders seen anything at the source of time?"

A newly ascended Saint, not yet ten thousand years in status, solemnly queried.

Even as True Saints, not everyone can Reverse Flow to the source of time.

Kong Xuan glanced at him and replied, "Go see for yourself."

Seeing the old thing's attitude, quite a few strong individuals who initially wanted to ask, pulled back and gave up on the idea of discussing with this old entity.

"Where are the Saint King and Void Emperor?" Someone looked towards the strong figures of the Holy King Lineage and shouted, "All Saints are gathered, and these two do not find it worth appearing?"

"Heh heh." Someone responded, the words carrying a hint of ridicule, "The Void Lineage is currently in contact with people from the Outer Realm, too busy to meet you all."

"The people from the Outer Realm, with wolfish ambitions, how can we deal with them? First understand our own matters." A True Saint snorted coldly.

Seeing the topic heading towards a more explosive tone, someone else stepped in to "pour water and extinguish the fire."

Jing Qiu stood beside Cang You, witnessing the meeting of those who rule a region, acting as the supreme figures of this realm.

The attention once focused on him had already dissipated.

Jing Qiu privately conversed with the Golden Roc elder.

"Don't mind these guys. It looks like sparks might fly at any moment, but truly entering an all-out war doesn't align with the interests of most people. As Kong Xuan said, the battle has yet to truly erupt."

This Ancient Golden Roc, when not taking action, had a demeanor and tone that was remarkably calm, like a high monk with many years of cultivation, with a Spirit devoid of any ripples.

It told Jing Qiu:

"A great war will erupt next, but it won't be a battle among True Saints, rather among the younger generation. Otherwise, what's the point of the True Saints cultivating disciples?"

"At critical moments, these disciples are their pawns, and they are the ones playing the game, rarely getting involved personally. Figures like the Nine Mountains Saint are the minority, while bickering is the majority."

Jing Qiu said, "Are you saying, elder, that the battlefield will be limited to the level of Heavenly Person and Heavenly King?"

The Golden Roc suddenly spoke, "If you were allowed to remain in the Heavenly Person realm a while longer and participate in the war at that level to seize the top position, would you be willing?"

Jing Qiu was taken aback.

To let him continue to remain in the Heavenly Human Realm, so as to vie for victory in the Heavenly Person Battlefield?

He shook his head, refusing the proposal, and said, "Elder, I am confident that when I ascend to the Heavenly King, I can likewise claim the top spot on the Heavenly King battlefield without lingering at the Heavenly Person level just for a dimensional downgrade strike."

"Very well." The Ancient Golden Roc nodded, "I heard you're Opening the Way; accelerate, strive to reach the Heavenly King before the battlefield opens. For you, this is not only a bloody battle but also an opportunity."

Jing Qiu communicated with the Ancient Golden Roc about his current situation through their Spirit connection.

"Oh?"

The Golden Roc flew from above his head to his shoulder, deeply gazing at his side face,

"If you ask, the Cangqing Lineage should not refuse you, but this matter... your display is too exceptional, making it rather tricky."

It fell into contemplation, feeling that Jing Qiu's Opening the World this time had a high danger coefficient, with the risk of becoming a pretext for All Saints to "capitalise on".

The root of the issue lies in Jing Qiu's exceedingly outstanding performance...

If it were just Opening the Way, even if what he was opening was the best result Mu Shitian envisioned, the core, the [All Phenomena Return to One, Primordial Limitless], for All Saints, it would only be a future threat.

But the Way of Opening the World, achieving a new "Dao Ancestor", is enough in itself to tempt all Heavenly Venerables and Dao Ancestors into taking risks.

This is the path directly leading to the True Saint's sky-reaching road.

The biggest gap between the step of the Eight Realms is accumulation; the most irreplaceable gap is also accumulation. When quantitative change leads to qualitative change, it is nearly the "Heavenly Limit."

Even as a True Saint, one would be tempted by this road.

Additionally, with Jing Qiu's current realm, this road bears too much risk, with the potential danger of losing oneself.

In the meeting of the All Saints ahead.

"...then let it be settled by the original bloody battle, resolving all disputes on the battlefield. If a True Saint wishes to step in, they can enter in the end, and it will be no holds barred, until one side comprehends the tribulation and departs."

Shouzhen calmly stated.

"The original bloody battle?" A relatively young True Saint frowned.

And those who had witnessed the ancient bloody battles in person, were all with solemn expressions.

"Once the bloody battle starts, it's no holds barred until one side's strong individuals below True Saint level are all utterly destroyed before it stops. In the past, this was also called a God War, until one side's Divine Country was utterly annihilated. Even if the God acting as Divine Country's master is not dead, they are more or less incapacitated..."

An elder explained the origin of the bloody battle to the younger ones present.

"All utterly destroyed?"

In the field, many frowned, including the Heavenly Venerate Ancestor, wondering whether they too were included.

And really demanding all disciples under them to be exhausted in the battle, how could True Saints resist not stepping in?

People are not soulless entities; even True Saints are the same, having beloved disciples, or even descendants.

Furthermore, once a True Saint comprehends the tribulation and departs, if no disciples are there to assist upon return, the time to return will be greatly extended.
