Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1161 - 414: The Next Generation Enjoys the Shade of Trees Planted by the Predecessors

The Heavenly Kings accepted the order and left.

Qing Zhou stood in place, pondering for a moment, eventually annoyed by his junior sister beside him, and dispelled the prohibition on her.

Qing Xia blurted out, "That Ji Jingqiu, isn't he the one from the Netherworld Yanhuang Federation?!"

Qing Zhou nodded, and said in a deep voice, "It should be him. He was originally a new entrant to the ranks of Heavenly King, likely the Killing Tribulation made him reach the current realm, becoming a major concern now."

Qing Xia said worriedly, "I remember, there's someone important in the gate wanting to summon him into the gate? Now he's deeply ingrained in killing, I'm afraid there truly is a risk of him falling into a great demon…"

Qing Zhou suddenly said, "Ji Jingqiu hasn't yet reached a deep-seated killing state, just now among those few, even if I hadn't intervened, they wouldn't have died, only given a lesson."

"What does this mean?" Qing Xia asked puzzled.

Qing Zhou looked towards the place where Fang Han died, and said lightly, "It's likely those with ill intentions towards him, and those who fled slowly, all died."

Qing Xia widened her eyes, and after a long time said, "So kind-hearted?"

Qing Zhou glanced at his foolish junior sister, no matter what, it's not associated with kindness, but can be considered as restrained in killing, with a method to his actions.

In the current Mayfly Palace, and even in many gates, he can be called a "righteous person."

Unfortunately...

Despite being against the Heaven and Earth Killing Tribulation, the "righteous path" will eventually turn into the Demon Path, there's no possibility of reversal, he even considered giving up the Killing Tribulation's blessing a luxury.

Qing Zhou recalled not long ago, their contact with the outside, the Vice Palace Master personally transmitted a message to him and Luo Sheng, asking them to bring Ji Jingqiu from the Netherworld back to the palace intact.

To be recognized by the Vice Palace Master...

Qing Zhou showed regret, unfortunately, such a good seed was ruined by Chao Ge.

Speaking of, both originating from Yanhuang Federation, both surnamed Ji, is there any connection between this lad and Ji Linyuan?

Qing Zhou mused, "How is Ji Linyuan doing over there? I know you've been in contact lately with Luo Sheng's forces."

Qing Xia blinked, "No news, Luo Sheng's men are too incompetent, sent four or five batches, none returned alive, not a single piece of news."

Qing Zhou wondered, "Are Luo Sheng's men so incompetent?"

Ji Linyuan is ultimately just a Third Level Heavenly King, even though he had some fortuitous encounters and growth in the Land of Dao over these years, it's impossible for him to have a sudden increase in strength like Ji Jingqiu.

In contrast, Luo Sheng's subordinates included several Fifth Layer Heavenly Kings and Peak of Heaven King.

Failure to capture him is one thing, but no reaction at all?

Could Ji Linyuan be the fifth person responding to the tribulation?

"Temporarily ignore it." Qing Zhou decisively said, "The most important thing now is to first resolve Ji Jingqiu."

"Senior brother, can you capture Ji Jingqiu now?" Qing Xia suddenly asked.

Qing Zhou was silent for a moment, then shook his head, "Since Kong Xiao fell at his hands, I have no certainty of victory either, but ultimately it depends on each of our trump cards."

"Heaven Opening Divine Power?"

"Yes." Qing Zhou said slowly, "I am not Kong Xiao, so for this battle, I will wait for Jiang Wanjing and others to arrive."

"Shi Dao might not come, right?" Qing Xia said.

Qing Zhou frowned, "Most likely won't come, he is still chasing the Tribulation Embryo he wounded with Merit Green Mud, from his perspective, that Tribulation Embryo is apparently more valuable than Ji Jingqiu."

Qing Xia worriedly said, "If Shi Dao obtains the Proof of Killing Tribulation, wouldn't you all be no match for him?"

Qing Zhou said lightly:

"Responding to Killing Tribulation is self-destruction, he's not that foolish. Our competition for the Proof of Killing Tribulation is mainly for reference, and also for the gate."

"The Killing Tribulation in this Land of Dao is incomplete, but if the Vice Palace Master can acquire the Proof of Killing Tribulation, he can leverage it to manipulate the Heavenly Dao of this realm and make it into a back garden, Chao Ge won't be able to stop it."

Having said that.

He looked toward the direction of Chaohua Mountain dojo, saying, "I must first go scout out the situation, don't follow, if a battle starts, I might not be able to protect you, go find Luo Sheng."

Qing Xia had a solemn expression, her senior brother had never been this cautious even when facing other Heavenly Monarchs!

That Ji Jingqiu, heard to be less than sixty years old, yet already reached such levels, directly pursuing her senior brother with tens of thousands of years of Daoist practice?

Even with the Killing Tribulation blessing, it's still terrifying!

"Do not go looking for Ji Linyuan."

Before parting, Qing Zhou suddenly warned,

"You're already three thousand six hundred years old, could he possibly take a liking to you?"

"Senior brother!" Qing Xia suddenly bristled.

"Alright, go seek Luo Sheng, have him come support me quickly."

Qing Zhou maintained a calm demeanor, yet his gaze toward Chaohua Mountain dojo was slightly solemn, saying softly,

"The current Ji Jingqiu is not alone."

Qing Xia was startled with horror.

She soon realized, if Kong Xiao truly surrendered temporarily to Ji Jingqiu, then her senior brother's visit would be a two-against-one situation if discovered.

At that time, even a temporary retreat might become a luxury!

...

As the fleeing Heavenly Kings returned to the rear and brought back the news of Kong Xiao's defeat, all sides were in an uproar, and a sort of panic ensued.

Previously, the Tribulation Embryo rampage was eventually subdued by the Heavenly Monarchs.

But now, Ji Jingqiu has merged with a second Tribulation Embryo, and conversely subdued Heavenly Monarch Kong Xiao, who can capture him?

It seems the Heavenly Monarchs must unite and join forces!

If allowed to devour another Proof of Tribulation Embryo, this Land of Dao might become his "paradise," while all the kings turn into fish on the chopping block, at his mercy.

The gates quickly determined their stance, forming temporary alliances, and marching grandly together to eliminate the demon and uphold the Dao!
