Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1268 - 449: Advancement to Heavenly Monarch, Change in the True Realm

"The young man chosen by the Ancestor Master of the Primordial Palace is the most likely candidate."

The man communicated with his Primordial Spirit, calmly instructing the woman and the entourage,

"Our goal this time is to find a suitable opportunity to invite the young man surnamed Qin back to the Divine Temple."

The woman in the red dress was speechless. Whether he's invited or not, it's a forced abduction; the Uncle Master still hesitates.

But indeed, as they belong to the Transcendence Gate, they still need to keep up appearances.

"The appearance of the young man surnamed Qin doesn't seem to match the timing of the Ancestor Master's message," the woman in the red dress secretly thought.

The man shook his head: "There's never certainty with these messages; arriving late is normal."

The woman in the red dress remained skeptical, saying: "But how could the Ancestor Master be preempted by that one from the Primordial Palace?"

The man was momentarily speechless.

This indeed made no sense; given the dominance of their Pantheon Ancestor Master, if that one from the Primordial Palace dared to reach out, the Ancestor Master would dare chop them off.

"Perhaps it's due to the remnants of the Dao imprint." The man slowly said, "We didn't expect that the Netherworld in the northern Sea of Realms would actually be the remnants of the Nether Mansion from years ago. The Gate has already sent people to investigate the situation of the Ancestor Master's remaining imprint."

"The Nether Mansion..." the woman murmured internally, seemingly losing focus.

At this moment.

"Is it the fellow Taoists of the Pantheon? Apologies for not welcoming you sooner."

Wu Tian came forward to greet them on behalf of the Primordial Palace, with a stiff smile, looking at these uninvited guests who didn't even knock but directly barged in.

The red-haired woman in the red dress smiled brightly: "The Pantheon and the Primordial Palace are as close as family. Why distinguish between us? When seniors speak like this, it feels distant. When the juniors visit the Primordial Palace, it's like returning home."

Wu Tian's eyelids twitched, indeed still so shameless.

The Pantheon is one of the few Transcendence Gates that did not choose to remain hidden after the Ancestor Master went far away.

Their style of doing things perfectly inherited that of Ancestor Hong Yan, consistently domineering, shamelessly taking shamelessness to the extreme.

Today the Primordial Palace boldly admitted the closeness between the two, but who knows, one day, the Pantheon might "pull" the Primordial Palace back home, claiming collaboration, but actually annexation.

Wu Tian was certain because similar events had occurred in history.

Shamelessness combined with combat capability, truly troublesome...

Wu Tian wondered what motive the Pantheon held in their visit this time.

Just as Wu Tian opened his mouth, he abruptly paused, turning to glance back.

Among those present, half were paying attention to the movements here, some recognizing the Pantheon's representatives; the other half were "observing the ceremony," witnessing the birth of a Heavenly Monarch.

At this moment, almost everyone turned their gaze towards the depths of the Primordial Palace.

Rumble!

The sound of Dao resonating through Heaven and Earth, with an originally clear and sacred domain suddenly turning exceedingly dark, a rain of blood falling from the sky.

This shocking transformation captured everyone's attention; blood rain descending akin to an...

"Heaven's Cry?"

The woman in the red dress had a peculiar look in her eyes and said with a smile, "Wu Tian, senior, the junior brother of the Primordial Palace seems"

Wu Tian looked solemnly towards Ji Jingqiu's location, feeling a sense of dread.

Breaking through was going smoothly, how could such drastic changes suddenly occur?

A Heaven's Cry occurring during the breakthrough to Heavenly Monarch is not a good omen...

"Hmm, it's not just a simple Heaven's Cry." The woman suddenly exclaimed lightly, full of interest, "What is the background of this junior brother, for the True Realm to change from sacred to blood-stained? Is it due to heavy blood karma, or deep-seated demonic roots? Has the Primordial Palace nurtured a Demon Fetus?"

Wu Tian was also in a daze.

A power like the Primordial Palace indeed does not adhere to distinctions of good or evil. The Ancestor Master was once called "Realm Devourer" for recklessly consuming realms within the Sea of Realms!

But... it's not obvious, has he misjudged?

Wu Tian quickly regained composure; Ji Jingqiu's true nature could be discussed later after the incident.

"Taoist friends of the Pantheon, please follow me."

Wu Tian led the way ahead; the genuinely transcendent Gates that had arrived thus far, combined with the Pantheon, were three in total, naturally not to be housed here.

Those housed here were all early followers under the Primordial Palace, now needing a good reprimand.

The woman in the red dress said with keen interest: "I didn't expect the Primordial Palace, secluded for so long, to still move with the times, nurturing a Heavenly Monarch in this era. What's this junior brother's name? Perhaps we should call him over for a meeting, I could give him some pointers."

Wu Tian smiled: "No rush, we should see him on the way."

...

...

Ji Jingqiu set aside a bamboo scroll book, his expression calm.

Originally, he thought he would need more time for refinement before breaking through to the Peak of Heaven King.

But Uncle Master Qin tossed him a manuscript of the Ancestor Master, and driven by this manuscript, Ji Jingqiu smoothly pushed forward with the Heaven Opening Divine Power that he had long prepared in his mind, advancing firmly, and simultaneously his Daoist career stepped into the Peak of Heaven King.

Ji Jingqiu looked emotional.

Although Ancestor Ning wasn't quite proficient in the Heavenly King Domain, yet the subsequent realms he traversed were far-reaching, especially his elucidations on the Dao, which to Ji Jingqiu, were no less than an awakening.

At this moment, he was as if bathing in a mist of Chaos Light, with Dao Rhymes flowing, and within the vicissitudes of the flowing light, countless universes and worlds were reflected.

Ji Jingqiu, using the One True Dharma Realm as a foundation, crafted his Heaven Opening Divine Power.

But at this moment, what manifested around him was not the Heaven Opening Divine Power, nor the One True Dharma Realm, but the Human World.

Or rather the True Realm.

Ji Jingqiu pondered; he hadn't broken through the Extreme Realm yet, he merely completed the first step of the Heaven Opening Divine Power, normally reaching the Peak of Heaven King.

Yet the True Realm is genuine; it's the hallmark domain for stepping into the Heavenly Monarch.

Ji Jingqiu surveyed his True Realm; he had seen Qi Tian's True Realm before, and there were marked differences between them.
