Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1054 - 378: The First Bloody Battle, Hundreds of Millions of Heart Lamps (Supplemental Update)

Not long ago, the Eternal Life Sect, which had completely split up, almost pronounced the sentence for the Saint Qingshan slain by He Donghuang as "life imprisonment".

No other True Saints are needed; for these disciples of Qingshan, if they want to avoid being settled by Qingshan, they will be the first line of defense against his return.

"Isn't it too cruel?" someone said in a deep voice.

"Cruel?"

Kong Xuan sneered,

"Once you completely overthrow the cosmic order, all spirits in the world will be less than mere straw dogs, mere pigs and sheep waiting for slaughter; how is it that when it happens to you, it's deemed cruel?"

"If you want to overturn everything, first prepare yourself for the possibility of never turning back!"

"Why should everything be decided by you?" a broken jade bottle hovered in the air, emitting cold and calm spiritual waves.

Its position was very special, clearly standing in opposition to the Holy King Lineage's strong people, yet it did not ally with the later True Saints, its stance similar to that of Nine Mountains.

Here, it represented the attitude of another leader among the Ancient Gods who resisted the Five Pillars.

Many in the field attempted to discern this one's identity, but it seemed as if the traces of the past had been severed, neither the Time River nor the River of Destiny could reveal its origins.

Even Shouzhen and others, or the Ancient Gods of the Five Pillars, couldn't recognize this one, only knowing that it self-proclaimed as [Ashes].

Kong Xuan said disdainfully, "I underestimated you all. Not only are you interested in opposing the Five Pillars, you also want to wrestle with me."

The jade bottle floated silently in the air, choosing not to entangle further with this unruly fellow.

As the first peacock to be born during Heaven and Earth Creation, it's hard to say now, but in the past, Kong Xuan's power and status were not below Nine Mountains.

In the early years, he even self-proclaimed as Kong Laoyi, unique in the Dao, and traversed the world relying on Five-Colored Divine Light; even the Five Pillars showed indulgence toward him back then.

This fellow is not only tricky but is now clearly allied with Shouzhen and another.

These three standing together can support a major camp and have the ability to influence the situation.

Now they maintain a neutral stance, helping no one.

At this critical moment, if you don't hope to recruit them, so be it, but provoking them is only seeking trouble for yourself.

"Today it's just a proposal; the specifics need further discussion."

Shouzhen glanced at the jade bottle,

"At least, we need to wait until most people's true bodies are gathered before negotiating. Three of the Five Pillars have returned, capable of representing the attitudes of their five members. The strong figures of the past and present need a formal meeting."

"How do you count several in the Bitter Sea? Should we bring them out?" someone suddenly asked.

It is well known that there is more than one True Saint in the Bitter Sea; if they were all brought out, they could become a faction affecting the situation.

"If you don't want to be tainted by the Bitter Sea, then don't meddle in any affairs over there." A True Saint coldly swept in the direction of the speaker, "This is not a suggestion, it's a warning."

Emperor Simurgh and the female Saint of Yaochi Fairyland stood shoulder to shoulder, giving a peculiar look at the person who spoke earlier:

"Their suppression of the Bitter Sea bothers you? If you were to bring them out, who would then fill the Bitter Sea, you, or your people?"

The topic quickly lost steam, and the Heavenly Venerate Ancestors hoping to use this opportunity to rescue their True Saint Ancestors had no choice but to leave the stage, seeking other means.

Ji Jingqiu listened with amusement aside.

The one who spoke first about the Bitter Sea had been glaring at him earlier with much vigor, which he remembered.

Golden Roc's voice echoed in Ji Jingqiu's ear:

"From today, the alliances have begun, and there will no longer be a place in the domain for loose cultivators. Those so-called loose cultivators will become objects of recruitment, invitation, or even conscription by various factions."

Ji Jingqiu was inwardly alarmed.

In the past, those loose cultivators were dispensable to All Saints, but as the bloody battle begins, this will be rewritten.

He wondered what kind of impact the Federation would face next.

He glanced at the side that mentioned the Bitter Sea earlier, among them were some of the Federation's current "allies".

He had already noted down to pass the message back to the Federation, advising Ji Anquan on precaution.

"The battle between Cangqing and Nine Mountains is over."

The Ancient Golden Roc on Ji Jingqiu's shoulder suddenly raised its head, its eyes sharp, penetrating the Dharma Realm, and looking into the depths.

"Which side won?" Ji Jingqiu hurriedly asked.

If the Lord of Cangqing lost this battle, even if only slightly on the back foot or showing signs of defeat, it would be a huge impact on the world pattern, heralding the end of the Five Pillars' domination.

"Someone intervened; the battle ended without a winner." The Ancient Golden Roc's eyes were deep, "But Nine Mountains is still the biggest victor this time, and next, some Ancient Gods will defect to him."

It fluttered its wings, leaving a word for Ji Jingqiu before rushing into the True Saint meeting.

"The quickest bloody battle might be within this year; you strive to make a breakthrough soon. If needed, contact me through Feather."

In the venue, the True Saint strongmen began clearing the scene.

"Let's go, Master is back." Cang You's voice sounded.

She led Ji Jingqiu into the jurisdiction of the Divine Country of the Cangqing Lineage, ahead of them was the World Tree supporting the starry sky.

"I have already told Master about your situation. He asked me to take you to the World Tree, to climb high and view the Dao, which will be beneficial for your forthcoming Heaven Opening."

"Moreover, Master has promised to lend you a hand, but not now; he requires at least several months of rest and recuperation to restore to peak combat power..."

Ji Jingqiu looked at the World Tree ahead and suddenly asked, "Is this World Tree of the Cangqing Lineage from [Wuwang Mountain]?"
