Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1124 - 401: Ocean of the Great Dao Scripture (Part 2)

"It's time to depart."

Not far away, the Void Emperor gazed into the distance, reminding everyone.

A red mist flowed backward in the starry sky, like a reverse waterfall, with hundreds of scriptures extolling the infinite true meaning of the Dao, exhaling Dao Rhyme, finally forming a golden vortex!

At this moment, even the True Saints watched intently, finding roads akin to their own within this vast ocean of scriptures.

"So this is the true essence of the Tao Struggle..."

The Void Emperor murmured, his eyes also shining brightly.

These scriptures are not only the remnants of the Dao in this world but are also annotated by Chao Ge, representing the greatest opportunity of this realm.

Before the group could react, she employed the Void Skill to sweep up all the Heavenly Kings and Heavenly Venerables, throwing them towards the vortex ahead.

Everyone heard the reminder of the Void Emperor in their hearts:

"Everyone, after entering, prioritize seizing the Great Dao Scripture."

Ji Jingqiu leaped into the vortex, creating a holy ripple in the golden sea of scriptures before disappearing into the starry sky.

Traversing through the sea of scriptures, he witnessed bizarre and extraordinary sights along the way, on the "shores" were countless broken worlds, with flickering lights within, where beings struggled to cross, striving to escape...

Along the journey, Ji Jingqiu heard a rhythm that seemed familiar.

Just when he was about to pursue the source of this rhythm, a Heart Light shone upon his heart.

It was Chao Ge.

"...Then... please."

Fatigued words echoed discontinuously in his heart.

"What?"

Before Ji Jingqiu could inquire, the Heart Light of this one had dissipated.

Ji Jingqiu furrowed his brow, having been separated from Chi Yinghuo, Ku He, and others, being swept into the golden currents.

Here, the concept of time and space didn't exist, like a snap of fingers, yet as if a thousand years passed, making it difficult for anyone to discern clearly.

However, Ji Jingqiu's Dao Power was truly and significantly enhanced during this time.

This made it hard for him to distinguish, had millennia truly passed?

The end of this path was uncertain.

With nothing to do, Ji Jingqiu could only continue to erode the remaining Death Demon Sword Intent in his Inner Heaven and Earth.

As he drifted along, Ji Jingqiu encountered only one being with wings on its back.

The appearance resembled the birdmen of ancient myths, with a halo hovering above its head, uncertain if it was an exosuit or an Innate accompanying item, containing immense spiritual power.

This being's realm was slightly higher than his by a small level.

Within the golden currents, the birdman, upon seeing him, had eyes full of radiance, actively attempting an assault, but both drifted with the currents, making it difficult to maneuver, after an arduous struggle, it finally neared his position.

When it finally reached a suitable attacking distance, Ji Jingqiu decisively struck, leaving the opponent with little chance, in the birdman's terrified gaze, he countered a level higher, sending it back to heaven.

As the birdman drowned in the golden currents, Ji Jingqiu acutely sensed a strong Dao Rhyme flowing with the golden currents into his body.

Floating with the currents, he closed his eyes to savor this external Dao Rhyme, finding it remarkably pure, suitable for filling the Inner Universe's prototype, or for constructing the True Path.

The harshness of the Tao Struggle was apparent.

After unknown time passed, Ji Jingqiu noticed the golden currents were shallowing, not only in depth but in color as well, from golden to pale gold, finally nearing colorlessness.

When he finally found footing in the currents, proving he reached the shallows, he finally stepped ashore.

Upon reaching the "shore," looking back, the golden vortex that brought him here was nowhere to be found.

Ji Jingqiu steadied his mind, surveyed the environment, finding himself in an unfamiliar starry sky, with ruins in the distance, yet the place beneath him seemed intact, sensing the presence of laws and principles.

Was this the battlefield of the Tao Struggle?

Why was no one else in sight?

Is it necessary to search for the Great Dao Scripture?

In this starry sky, black snowflakes also drifted, the aura of Silent Annihilation pervasive, as if having reached the world's end.

Just as Ji Jingqiu set to explore ahead, he suddenly halted, turned back smoothly. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

In the starry sky, a figure gradually emerged from faint to clear, aligned with him, stepping seemingly from the void, the first to appear was a pair of blood-stained black war boots.

It was a woman, silently striking, with a myriad strands of light at her brow forming a butterfly, flapping its wings, rising gracefully, seeming real yet unreal, dreamy yet phantasmagoric, serene and beautiful.

Yet Ji Jingqiu sensed a mortal threat from it.

His expression was solemn, holding nothing back, as the Heart Moon lit up at his brow, powerful Power of the Spirit breaking through the corporeal fetters, scattering the butterfly.

He fiercely counterattacked, engaging in a collision with the woman, purely comparing Dao Power, neither gaining the upper hand after one clash, the latter retreating with grace.

"Heavenly King's Second Layer Heaven, yet his Dao Power equals mine, is this a martial artist from the Outer Realm?"

She murmured, her gaze desolate, with a sense of poignant beauty.

It was a woman, not a True Man, but a virtual shadow, or an imprint, now reappearing in the world, vivid with thoughts and memories.

Ji Jingqiu quickly saw through her state.

"A fallen expert, yet due to the remnants in Heaven and Earth, recorded by the Dao, thus presently re-embodied? The handiwork of All Saints?"

An aura of emptiness yet strength erupted ahead.

"Come, defeat me!" the woman ended her murmur, her eyes spirited, her entire being exuding radiance, she radiated confidence of suppressing all foes, inviting battle with Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu sensed her rising fighting spirit, his expression serious, refusing not, he silently punched, the fist light blinding, piercing the already battered starry sky, with unmatched might.

Holding nothing back, he struck with all his might, destroying the imprint of the opponent in open battle.

In her final moment, the woman revealed a satisfied smile, dispersing into countless ribbons of light, coalescing into a butterfly, gracefully circling Ji Jingqiu several times, then disappearing into the rain of light.

A golden scripture floated amidst the rain of light.

Ji Jingqiu's pupils contracted.

Is this how one obtains scriptures?

Just then,

In the depths of the vast starry sky, countless celestial bodies shone, weaving a grand radiance, faintly outlining a head.

This awe-inspiring majestic scene shimmered in deep space.

Within his Inner Heaven and Earth, the Sword Light, silent since the start of the Tao Struggle, suddenly spoke:

"You're in a True Saint's Inner Heaven and Earth, and it's a recently fallen True Saint... hmm, with half a breath left."

Ji Jingqiu ignored it, for where the butterfly disappeared, a black-robed youth stood, staring blankly at the place where the light rain fell.

This Tao Struggle...

Isn't it overly perilous?

The Sword Light continued to remind him: "You've shattered the imprint he manifested, he should be really angry now, maybe pondering who gave you the courage."
