Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1202 - 427: Chao Ge’s Gift, Sacrificing Himself to Forge the Tao

In the channel of the Nether Sea.

After the Killing Tribulation's Dao Power left, Jing Qiu fell into temporary weakness.

This is also one of the reasons why Chao Ge directly sent him to the channel swallowed by the Nether Sea, instead of to the hands of the Saints of the Netherworld.

Moreover, during this period, Jing Qiu appearing in the hands of the Saints of the Netherworld might arouse suspicion.

In Chao Ge's view, since Jing Qiu can harmonize with the Nether Sea, he naturally can traverse it and return directly to the Netherworld, without needing to detour like the Saints of the Netherworld, traveling through the Sea of Realms to return.

"It's a bit like suddenly returning to pre-liberation times."

Jing Qiu chose a comfortable position to reverse flow in the Nether Sea, feeling a slight sense of regret at this moment.

With the blessing of the Killing Tribulation, he reached the peak of the Heavenly King level, and then stepped into the Heavenly Venerable, advancing step by step, gaining the rank and Dao Power of a True Saint.

But after the Killing Tribulation left, all of this vanished, returning him to the starting point, an undeniable disparity.

Especially the "vision" where Heaven and Earth revealed Dao principles everywhere he looked, explaining the supreme truths of the Dao in every place.

This sudden deprivation felt akin to 'If You Give Me Three Days of Light', leaving an inevitable itch that grows the more intensely it is missed.

Jing Qiu closed his eyes in silent contemplation, and with a Sitting Forget state of mind, he quickly recovered.

"The gains this time were enormous, the road before becoming a Heavenly Venerable is nearly clear, even the path beyond Heavenly Venerable has some illumination, just a pity..."

Jing Qiu recalled the final attempts by Chao Ge to illuminate the path of transcendence for him, which were repeatedly interrupted, leaving him somewhat regretful.

However, gains and losses are all part of his destiny, and his mentality soon calmed.

Suddenly, Jing Qiu opened his eyes as a Sword Light approached from behind, catching up with him in an instant.

It was the Moon-cutting Sword Light.

This one was clearly unafraid of the Nether Sea, as Jing Qiu and the Sword Light first encountered each other in the depths of the Nether Sea.

To be honest, Jing Qiu now had several more guesses about this one's identity and origins.

"Chao Ge asked me to deliver some things to you." The Sword Light transmitted, as a transparent sphere, as if made of jade, was tossed in front of Jing Qiu.

Jing Qiu instinctively caught it, but his expression changed dramatically as he was dragged down suddenly by the sphere.

The Sword Light flashed, realizing that Jing Qiu was no longer the True Saint Jing Qiu from before, having reverted to the Heavenly King Jing Qiu, quickly snatched back the gift Chao Ge had prepared.

"What is this?!"

Jing Qiu exclaimed in shock. Even having regressed, he was still a powerhouse at the Third Level of Heavenly King, yet he couldn't even lift this thing?

The Sword Light seemed a bit dissatisfied, murmuring that old Chao Ge's preparations were insufficient, making it act instead.

Then, the Sword Light slashed a seal, penetrating the interior of the sphere, and then tossed it back to Jing Qiu, afterward entering uninvited, in the blink of an eye, into Jing Qiu's Inner Heaven and Earth.

"The gift from Chao Ge to you."

"I need to slumber for a period, borrowing your Inner Heaven and Earth; the Sword Intent previously transmitted to you, ponder and comprehend it well, it won't fall below your two masters!"

Lastly, the Sword Light huffed:

"It's only because you are pleasing to the eye, otherwise even if a hundred or eighty Supreme Domain experts knelt before me, I wouldn't bother with them."

Jing Qiu carefully caught the sphere, relieved only after finding it light as a feather.

Meanwhile, Brother Sword Light had already flown into his Inner Heaven and Earth, forcibly occupying the True Spirit Pool, displacing a small creature that was trying to sleep.

"That sword..." Jing Qiu muttered, unable to resist simulating a sword with a finger, making a few gestures in the Void.

The sword that Brother Sword Light had almost hand-taught him was indeed stunning and unrivaled.

Especially the way Brother Sword Light taught.

The Sword Momentum, Sword Rhythm, Sword Intent, and swordsmanship were all transmitted as a legacy, engraved within his mind.

Whoosh—

A faint Sword Light passed over the fingertip, carrying a hint of [Taiping Universe Slash Foolish] within the Sword Intent and Sword Rhythm.

Jing Qiu quietly pondered his recent realizations, conducting a silent deduction.

The magnitude of this sword's aura was vast, challenging for him to wield with his current realm.

Upon reaching a certain level, though Sword Skill and Sword Dao differ, the essence of Sword Skills holds translative understanding, the truly important part lies in the Dao Intent and Divine Charm contained within.

Jing Qiu felt the Dao Intent and Divine Charm within this swordsmanship bore similarity with that of the World Venerable Lineage, and he believed he could gain significantly from it.

For a while, occasional insights led him to temporarily set aside the gift from Chao Ge, immersing himself in the contemplation of Sword Intent.

Unaware of how much time had passed.

Sword Light, which had fallen into a semi-sleep state, suddenly awoke, glancing at a distant prowling Void Giant Beast cub that seemed poised to retrieve its place, and couldn't help but scoff:

"Little one, wait until you're grown."

Then it abruptly realized, how was it awakened?

This Heaven and Earth... such familiar Sword Intent.

Its perception swiftly expanded into the Outer Heaven and Earth, and if it had eyes, they would have widened in an instant.

Dao Rhyme and Divine Intent flowing, as Jing Qiu demonstrated Dao by "disassembling" the sword, deconstructing every detail of the swordsmanship, directly pointing to the most fundamental core. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As he delved deeper, simulating a sword with a finger, he overlooked the sword techniques themselves, primarily contemplating and deducing the most original Sword Dao truths; one finger slashed down, the Sword Light faint, yet the invincible spirit within had already reached six or seven parts.

Brother Sword Light was somewhat astonished; it did not doubt that Jing Qiu would one day master this sword, teaching Jing Qiu because Jing Qiu's actions had gained its approval, deeming him worthy of bearing this sword.

But was the speed a bit too fast?

Or did it sleep a hundred or so years upon waking?
