Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1146 - 409: Heavenly Monarchs, Tribulation Embryos, and the Invitation to Battle

Is it Master He?

Ji Jingqiu stopped thinking too much, locked onto a direction, and traversed the void, constantly adapting to the surging Dao Power within his body along the way.

From the second level of the Heavenly King to the fifth layer, his Dao Power increased beyond measurable multiples, reaching a qualitative change.

The enhancement from the Killing Tribulation was comprehensive, linking everything from the prototype of the Inner Universe to the Illusion Dao, with the increase in Dao Power being just one aspect.

For instance, with the Killing Tribulation's blessing, the Illusion Dao was infinitely approaching reality, and the prototype of the Inner Universe transformed from infinitely large to infinitely small, near the primordial extreme point evolved by Ji Jingqiu.

Now, only the final "Heaven and Earth Creation" remains to complete the evolution of the Inner Universe.

Had he not already entered the Sitting Forget State of Mind, this sudden surge of power might have "overridden" him.

As he moved forward, Ji Jingqiu noticed more and more battlefield remnants along the way.

It seemed that during his "absence," the Heavenly Kings of various factions were not idle.

The other three "Fellow Taoists" might have already emerged, hunting each other, and also hunting the Heavenly Kings of various clans, to kill and supplement themselves.

In Ji Jingqiu's perception, the nearest "Fellow Taoist" to him seemed to deliberately keep a distance, so that despite his efforts, he didn't close the gap much.

Ji Jingqiu paused for a moment; at this rate, he might never catch up.

Normally, the other party shouldn't avoid him.

The other three, likely driven by the Killing Tribulation, brim with killing intent—how could they deliberately evade him unless...

"Could it be that they're injured?"

Just as Ji Jingqiu speculated, an old acquaintance came from afar, noticing his resplendent figure crossing the starry sky and recognizing him.

Primarily because Ji Jingqiu was too "conspicuous" at that moment, making it hard to ignore him if anyone passed by.

Someone followed Ji Jingqiu covertly, trying to find out the origins of this suddenly appearing unknown powerhouse who sent the Heavenly King of the Heavenly Father Clan to meet the Heavenly Father with a blade of light. Soon, they noticed a figure eagerly approaching from afar to meet Ji Jingqiu.

The other party's realm was average in this Land of Dao, yet they possessed a unique aura that instilled dread.

"Withdraw! It's that calamity from the Netherworld! This one is also from the Netherworld!"

"Withdraw, withdraw, notify Jiang Wanjing, the Heavenly Monarch, that another absolute peak Heavenly King-level powerhouse has emerged from the Netherworld!"

...

"Brother Ji! Finally found you! It's been years, seems like your Daoist career has progressed?"

Ku He approached with great strides, smiling warmly. As he got closer, he noticed the Qi around Ji Jingqiu was entirely different from before entering, and couldn't help but become solemn.

He scrutinized Ji Jingqiu closely but found he couldn't discern Ji Jingqiu's realm, which spoke volumes.

"Taoist Friend Ku He." Ji Jingqiu nodded, his gaze slightly odd, not expecting to encounter him first.

Is this his bad luck, or Ku He's good fortune?

"Just now, Taoist Friend Ku He said, hasn't seen you in years?" Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked.

"Indeed, it's been over five years since we entered this land of Tao Struggle," Ku He replied solemnly. "This realm has chaotic time; nothing is sensed accurately. Taoist friends from Mysterious Mechanism Heaven and Heavenly Mechanism Realm measure by the realm we're in, only roughly."

Ji Jingqiu pondered.

"Brother Ji, come with me. Most of the Heavenly Kings on our side have gathered together. Under the current circumstances, it's hard for an Independent to survive."

Upon hearing that half of the Heavenly Kings on their side had gathered, Ji Jingqiu became interested and asked Ku He about the situation in the Land of Dao over these years.

For example, the so-called Heavenly Monarchs.

At Ji Jingqiu's invitation, Ku He eagerly stepped onto the Void Boat to lead the way for Ji Jingqiu.

"Through contact with the forces in the Sea of Realms during this period, we've obtained a lot of information. The Heavenly Monarchs that Brother Ji is concerned with are particularly significant."

"In the Sea of Realms, the forces call those transcending the Heavenly Kings as Absolute Peak Heavenly Kings. Only those whose combat power views the Heavenly King Domain from above and touches the Heavenly Venerate Domain have the qualification to be called Heavenly Monarchs."

"Such people, without exception, are close to the True Path, touching the Heaven and Earth Technique. In terms of Dao Power alone, they are already infinitely close to the first tier of the Heavenly Venerate Domain."

"Luo Sheng and Qing Zhou from the Mayfly Palace, Shi Dao from the Heavenly Cutting Sect, Kong Xiao from the Returning to Truth Temple, and Jiang Wanjing from the Star Sky Tower... these are the Heavenly Monarchs of each faction."

"By the way, the Qian Kun siblings from the Returning to Truth Temple, although not Heavenly Monarchs, are said to be formidable enough that even Kong Xiao from the same temple must temporarily avoid confronting them." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Such powerhouses are not obscure even in the Sea of Realms and are on the focus list of various factions, viewed as supreme seeds."

Ji Jingqiu understood.

The Sea of Realms is vast, and those who make a name for themselves there are undoubtedly True Saints.

To hold any notoriety at the Heavenly King position, the title of Heavenly Monarch is something extraordinary.

According to Ku He, these people have a high probability of stepping into the supreme realm of the True Saint Domain in the future.

Ku He continued talking, not only explaining the combat power of the opposing forces to Ji Jingqiu but also introducing the powers of several sides:

"On our side, Fellow Daoist Dongxu from the Mingxu Divine System has been proven to have Heavenly Monarch combat power. There's also the Heavenly Crown Taoist from the Undying Mountain, who wields the Secret Treasure bestowed by the Nine Mountains True Saint and has contended with Jiang Wanjing from the Star Sky Tower."

"And somewhat inferior, absolute peak Heavenly King-level powerhouses; even the True Saint Dojos of various clans can muster a handful."

Dongxu, Heavenly Crown...

Ji Jingqiu was slightly surprised; their side wasn't weak after all.

Even with just over half gathered, they had one and a half Heavenly Monarchs.
