Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1122 - 400: The Bearing of a Saint, Modest and Self-Disciplined, Heavenly Monarch, Great Grandmaster (Part 3)

Witnessing this scene, a mighty figure who had just suppressed the injuries of their Inner Universe laughed with anger at the sight, causing their injuries to flare up again.

These shameless characters had previously struck with deadly and ruthless blows, completely devoid of any saintly demeanor!

Now that the battle has ceased, they suddenly put on airs of decorum and grace?

Truly thick-skinned and shameless!

"Where did these 'country bumpkins' come from, having no sense of decorum!" someone spat fiercely, feeling oppressed for having suffered a great loss in this battle.

The other side outnumbered them, and although many were merely Initial Saints, they were ultimately saints, using Killing Techniques that even an ancient couldn't withstand.

"So many True Saints gathering like this, are they not afraid of a collective fall incident? It's not like it hasn't happened in history!" someone cursed in a low voice.

"Remember the juniors on their side, let our people remember; on the battlefield, prioritize teaming up to eliminate these individuals!"

Unknown how much time passed.

This starry sky seemed to have lost the concept of time.

The Void Emperor reappeared before All Saints, stained with golden blood, some of which was not his own. However, his overbearing aura remained undiminished, growing even more radiant and fierce. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Her gaze first fell on the Nine Mountains, sneering coldly as she challenged him directly: "Nine Mountains, why did you not give your all in the recent battle?"

Among All Saints present, Nine Mountains' strength was nearest to her, yet his efforts in the previous battle were modest.

Nine Mountains True Saint replied calmly, "You exposed your strength, while I chose to hide mine. Should any unexpected battles erupt later, I will deliver the crucial strike to the enemy."

"Remember what you've said!" Void Emperor stated flatly, turning to All Saints with a brief pause, "Inform your disciples to prepare to participate in the Tao Struggle. There are two battlefields, one for Heavenly Venerables and one for Heavenly Kings. Remind them that on the battlefield, they may face encirclement. Those lacking strength should not enter."

As Supreme figures returning from the Sea of Realms gradually reconvened, the situation finally stabilized and calmed.

The outcome of this battle remains unknown.

But with Void Emperor returning safely and numerous Supreme figures not pressing further, it already speaks volumes; the former's strength has clearly been recognized.

The forces who previously suffered losses could only stifle their grievances, as their own Supreme figures hadn't yet arrived.

Up ahead, in the deep space of the universe, a brilliant red mist bathed the realms, vast and boundless.

Witnessing this scene, All Saints' expressions were serious. Some frowned or glared fiercely at Void Emperor and their cohort.

It was this group's reckless actions that gave Chao Ge the breathing room to regain some control over the situation!

Void Emperor and others paid no attention to the outward gazes, carrying an air of indifference.

With Chao Ge regaining control, the long detached Transcendence Gate finally decided to intervene.

Seeing their emergence, many of the Scattered Saints, or factions lacking Supreme backing, started to look grim.

"These thugs are back again."

Someone cursed under their breath, with distaste no less than that felt towards Void Emperor and their group.

Ahead, many Supreme figures seemingly knew this outcome in advance and stepped forward to negotiate with representatives from each Transcendence Gate as well as Chao Ge.

Although Void Emperor had already learned the rough outcome from Chao Ge, she still joined in.

Many powerful individuals were eyeing her.

Even in the boundless Sea of Realms, Supreme figures are not a dime a dozen; each family basically has a roster, but she was clearly not on that list.

If it were just her alone, it wouldn't matter. After all, the Sea of Realms is vast, and it's normal for a few powerhouses to emerge now and then, but behind her stood a group of True Saints!

This was clearly not a bunch of Scattered Saints, but members of the same powerful faction.

...

"What is it, Junior Brother Nie?"

A Supreme figure from the Heavenly Cutting Sect asked a Junior Brother at his side.

He had been frowning and observing the figure of the Void Emperor.

"It's strange; this one's aura feels somewhat familiar, yet I've never encountered her..."

The former was surprised, naturally not doubting a True Saint's "memory," thus making this situation quite rare.

Truthfully, he also felt curious about where these individuals hailed from.

But seeing this Junior Brother thinking hard to no avail, the Supreme figure of the Heavenly Cutting Sect shook his head and said, "There's no need to dwell on it; the situation is under our control."

The latter could only give up. His name was Nie Shanlan. As the factions discussed and as Tao Struggle was about to begin, he looked at a nearby disciple of the master and transmitted:

"Remember, prioritize locating Ji Linyuan from Mayfly Palace, capture him without disappointing your master."

The White-robed Heavenly King respectfully replied, "Uncle Master, rest assured, I have acquired a bloodline token that can lock onto Ji Linyuan. I will join forces with Junior Brother Zuo to capture him and extract details about the Federation."

Nie Shanlan nodded slightly, his gaze darkened.

His Senior Brother Nie Qing was still in the Netherworld, having recently sent several messages back: first requiring them to control a disciple named Zuo Qianqiu, then to find a way for Zhang Tiancheng to enter seclusion, and finally to capture a certain disciple from the Mayfly Palace.

If it were just an ordinary disciple, it would be fine.

But Ji Linyuan had recently passed through the Daoist career of Mayfly Palace, significantly elevating his status, making it unwise to act rashly.

After much thought, the only way seemed to be through Tao Struggle.

...

Ji Jingqiu also received news that the Tao Struggle was imminent.

Chi Yinghuo would accompany him this time, serving as their trump card.

With the reincarnation of this Great Sun Ancient God presiding over the situation, All Saints seemed comparatively at ease.

"I heard that in the Sea of Realms, the Supreme among the Heavenly Kings is called the Heavenly Monarch?" Taoist Bihai shook his head, "It would sound better with a 'Great' in front."

Emperor Simurgh chuckled, "Great Heavenly King? What a ridiculous title."

"Not at all, it's Great Grandmaster." Taoist Bihai chuckled, "The titles in the Yanhuang Federation truly resonate with me. Heavenly King as Grandmaster, the strongest as Great Grandmaster. I heard He Donghuang and others once claimed to be Supreme Grandmasters."

Mentions of the Yanhuang Federation would pass, but when it involved people like He Donghuang, the Saints couldn't help but listen intently, with some glancing at Ji Jingqiu.

"What is the distinction for Great Grandmaster, and what is the standard for Supreme Grandmaster?" a Saint inquired, pondering whether their disciples could be classified into any category.

"A Great Grandmaster is a Heavenly King combined with the Sitting Forget State of Mind." Taoist Bihai clicked his tongue, "Supreme Grandmaster is at least the Peak of Heavenly King paired with Sitting Forget State of Mind. As for other criteria, I am not sure."

"Sitting Forget..."

All Saints' expressions slightly twitched; the Yanhuang Federation's sights were undeniably set high, beginning with the Sitting Forget State of Mind.

In the True Saint Dojo, a Heavenly King who comprehended Sitting Forget, under various Fruit Positions, practically guaranteed the status of Heavenly Venerable!

Though they were unclear about the specific criteria for Heavenly Monarchs in the Sea of Realms, they surmised it couldn't exceed this level.

Chi Yinghuo suddenly spoke up, "The true Supreme Grandmaster of the Yanhuang Federation, if we use the likes of He Donghuang from ten thousand years ago as an example, must at least be Heavenly King who has comprehended their Heavenly Destiny."

The Saints' expressions grew grave.

After the Fifth Layer of Heavenly King, comprehending Sitting Forget grants the qualification to challenge for Heavenly Venerable.

If one can comprehend their Heavenly Destiny as a Heavenly King, the probability of breaking through to Heavenly Venerable exceeds fifty percent!

In the history of various dojos, the number of disciples simultaneously achieving these two criteria can be counted on one hand.

"This standard..."

Some Saints glanced at disciples from other forces in the Sea of Realms in the distance, shaking their heads,

"Isn't the so-called Heavenly Monarch less than this?"

"The question is, is this only the minimum? What is the upper limit?"

Facing the puzzled gazes of the Saints, Chi Yinghuo replied calmly:

"The upper limit is naturally breaking through the realm's Heavenly Limit as a Heavenly King, and slaying Heavenly Venerable with a blade."
