Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1101 - 393: Who Doesn’t Have a Transcendent Behind Them?

Since he had already made a move, Ji Jingqiu held nothing back, seizing the opportunity to use the Way of Cause and Effect to manipulate the boundless karma on his opponent.

Such karma in his encounters was almost second only to that of Wuzhou.

As the latter would say, these two Heavenly Venerable beings, if not slaughtering a realm, had probably done something similarly heinous, like "uprooting the foundations" within a realm, being "cursed" by the collective consciousness of the realm's endless beings.

Otherwise, how could they have accumulated such terrifying karma?

"Strictly speaking, these two are at the low point of their lives, hmm, even lower, should be at the abyssal bottom."

Wuzhou explained to Ji Jingqiu,

"Their condition is rather peculiar, not quite the same as typical bad luck, just like that Unlucky Star you encountered last time. Normally, such people would risk deviation even during quiet cultivation in a dojo, let alone venture outside."

Ji Jingqiu mused, "No wonder they kept boasting about 'Immortal' phenomena earlier; probably ran into trouble indeed."

Wuzhou said, "That Heavenly Destiny Holy Weapon is likely used by them to suppress their fate. For those whose fate has fallen to the abyss, the most fearsome thing isn't bad luck, but violating reason and their true nature, making unforgivable mistakes under various coincidences... That is also a form of curse."

Ji Jingqiu looked into the distance, primarily guarding against that Compass Holy Weapon not far away.

Fortunately, this Holy Weapon seemed quite wary of the Karmic Fire.

...

After confirming that it was indeed Karmic Fire, the man named Chong Sheng used a Secret Technique at the first moment to guard his own destiny line.

Prioritizing himself, he tentatively assisted the woman to dispel the Karmic Fire on her, yet still almost got himself entwined in it.

The Karmic Fire, ignited with the karma of all beings as fuel, could reduce even Gods and Buddhas to ash, with virtually nothing able to withstand it.

But fundamentally, it was because the two had done some 'dirty work' for their sect before, otherwise, they wouldn't have come this far along the Ancient Road, bearing the mission to rebuild their sect's mountain gate.

"Indeed..."

"This period has been the low point of my and Jinghua's lives. We had thought upon reaching this abandoned mythical origin, our plight might ease..."

Chong Sheng felt a heavy heart.

The opponent was merely a Heavenly King, yet wielded means that most effectively countered them; is this what the Ancestor Master referred to as being forsaken and targeted by the world?

Even crossing endless time and space, arriving at the origin of myth, escape is elusive.

He softened his tone and said, "Taoist Friend, this is only a misunderstanding, please stay your hand, no need to eradicate us completely."

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly, the man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other side had agreed; unexpectedly—

"Couldn't you have just spoken nicely?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Ji Jingqiu not only didn't stay his hand but intensified the fire.

In the void ahead, the Karmic Fire raged, burning through the void, everything around perishing within it.

"Do not beg him!"

Jinghua sat cross-legged in the void, forcefully swallowing the screams and wails, her entire body trembling violently from the pain, yet still shrieking to stop Chong Sheng from bowing to the opponent.

"It's just mere Karmic Fire, yet it cannot kill me!"

Ji Jingqiu said nothing, only manipulating the power of karma to stoke the fire, while also using it to peer into the origins of the two.

According to what Wuzhou and Hel said, the power of the Red Mist that sent them here had already surpassed the True Saint level, touching the realm of Transcendence.

Behind the opponent, there was likely a Transcender standing.

However, listening to the prior conversation between the two, their situation didn't seem favorable.

Seeing Jinghua stubbornly acting as always, Chong Sheng bitterly smiled, was this still when they had the Ancestor Master's protection?

He sighed inwardly, his tone turned stern, speaking in a deep voice:

"Taoist Friend, this was merely an accident, there's no need to make it irreparable, the Ancestor Master behind us has already established himself in the Transcendence Domain. Even if you kill Jinghua here, she can return afterward. But you would have forged an irreconcilable feud with us!"

Facing the situation, he could no longer care, hoping to scare the opponent with the name of Transcendence.

Ji Jingqiu sidestepped, saying nothing, just calmly watching the opponent.

Chong Sheng was initially puzzled, but soon, he noticed the Sword Qi fish swirling around Ji Jingqiu, and his heart sank heavily.

The essence of this Sword Qi was extremely high, very likely left from a Transcendent level.

The opponent was probably indeed an important member, kin of a Saint from some Transcendence Gate.

And the Ancestor Master behind them...

Ji Jingqiu's expression remained unchanged, devoid of joy or sorrow, extremely calm.

Inwardly pondering, perhaps the condition of the entity backing them wasn't well?

Otherwise, why would these two cross endless time and space, seeking the Ancient Road to rebuild the mountain gate?

As long as they don't make a move, it won't expose them here.

On this, Wuzhou had a profound saying, the best facade to use is that of a tiger, especially a Transcender's, for besides Transcenders, no one dares, nor can they validate it.

Seeing Jinghua's Primordial Spirit being scorched by the Karmic Fire, Chong Sheng gritted his teeth and reopened his mouth:

"Taoist Friend, please have mercy, we are willing to pay the price, otherwise, we disciples of [Chaohua Mountain] have no choice but to fight to the death!"

His words were not a threat but resonated with a touch of tragic heroism, causing Ji Jingqiu to glance aside, sensing that the sect seemed more united than he thought.

"It doesn't matter." Ji Jingqiu continued to bluff, "I'm merely a Spirit Light from Divine Travel, won't be threatened by anything, and if it really comes to fighting to the death, our lineage fears no one."

Chong Sheng stared closely at Ji Jingqiu, filled with doubt, using Power of the Spirit as an Extraordinary System? Where exactly is the other from?
