Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1250 - 442: Skillful Heavenly Monarch, Desolate Sky

Ji Jingqiu recalled the rumors he'd heard in the past and casually asked. After all, this wasn't the first or second time he'd explored the Nether Sea, but it seemed he had never encountered a sentient being there; most were chaotic spirit conglomerates.

"... Holy Spirit?"

Qi Tian, who had been observing ahead, suddenly turned around, repeated these two words, and his expression became solemn and icy.

"That's indeed what I heard, but I haven't seen it either." Ji Jingqiu sensed something was off and asked seriously, "Is there a problem?"

"In the Nether Sea, there are no sentient beings, only some spirit conglomerates, lacking reason, chaotic and ignorant, which doesn't align with the 'Holy' at all." Qi Tian spoke each word distinctly.

Ji Jingqiu frowned. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the source of this information shouldn't be wrong. It came from the Ancient Road Will destroyed by the Nether Sea.

Was their understanding of the "Holy Spirit" mistaken?

The two did not continue their conversation. After confirming the direction, Ji Jingqiu led Qi Tian toward the central area of the Desolate Sky.

Along the way, there were still no signs of any living beings. In the vast heavens and earth, the gray snow gradually turned into black blizzards. The only change was that on the right side, numerous meteors burned, not falling, but just suspended, carrying an undying flame.

"The distribution of these meteors looks like the outline of a... beast!" Qi Tian, seeing far beyond Ji Jingqiu, noticed something amiss quickly and said seriously.

Ji Jingqiu didn't speak. He wasn't paying attention to the distribution of these meteors, but was instead staring at one among them.

A youth sat cross-legged there, looking up at the sky, with his back to them, his face unclear.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at Qi Tian, the latter seemingly completely unaware of the youth's presence.

Then, he pointed it out to Qi Tian, but the latter frowned and saw nothing, his expression becoming solemn.

Qi Tian didn't doubt Ji Jingqiu's vision. In their realm, there was no concept of blurring sight. Moreover, given Ji Jingqiu's connection with the Nether Sea, seeing more than him was entirely possible.

"This land feels... malevolent." Ji Jingqiu murmured, "Has it always been this way or is it a recent change? If the latter, where have the people of the Desolate Sky sect gone?"

The two exchanged a glance, stopping no longer. They projected their spirits infinitely far and then traversed the Void, quickening their steps.

Though a Heavenly Monarch, Qi Tian was extremely cautious regarding anything related to the Nether Sea, never taking it lightly in the slightest.

Ji Jingqiu, on the other hand, was wary of Marshal Ji, fearing that he might again subject him to something similar to the last ordeal, thoroughly disgusting him.

During the journey, following Ji Anquan's previous guidance, Ji Jingqiu centered on himself and traced all possible "possibilities" related to him along the lines of Karma.

He didn't have dealings with the Desolate Sky, so the odds were that the lines of Karma would lead to Marshal Qin. Besides, he deliberately borrowed the [Heavenly Blade] from Qin Qingjue for this purpose.

The latter originally wanted to come along to retrieve their ancestor but was refused due to its danger.

Suddenly.

Ji Jingqiu stopped in his tracks, his eye twitching.

Packed lines of Karma radiated in all directions centered on him, like a web.

A bad premonition, from appearing to becoming incredibly intense, happened in the blink of an eye.

Without hesitation, Ji Jingqiu summoned the Heavenly Blade, awakened the Blade Soul Ancestor within, and wielded this Tribulation Weapon to cut all the lines of Karma in a single strike!

As this Divine Weapon emerged, Qi Tian instinctively avoided its sharpness.

Holy Weapon?!

Before he could ask, a wail surged into their spirits, like a demon sound piercing their ears, accompanied by the whispers of countless beings, pressing into their minds all at once, alongside bizarre, fantastical visions!

Qi Tian instinctively stood within the [Human World], dodging this strike.

Behind Ji Jingqiu, the Bodhi Tree manifested, lush and verdant, with its canopy covering the sky.

The entire world seemed to squeeze toward them from all directions.

Ji Jingqiu snorted coldly, voluntarily dissolving the protection of the Bodhi Tree, and visualized the Fire House Buddha Hell in his mind. The demon sound vanished instantaneously, like a stone thrown into an abyss without even a splash.

Since it was a matter of the spirit, it would be resolved with spiritual means.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly looked to the right, his expression serious. In that meteor zone, the youth who had his back turned to them had, at some point, turned around and was now watching them!
