Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1269 - 449: Ascending to Heavenly Monarch, Changes in the True Realm (Part 2)
In his True Realm, the manifestations of Ten Thousand Skills and Dao are reflected, showcasing the scenes of life and death across worlds. In the deepest part of this realm, one can glimpse a sea of light flowing with sacred Dao Rhyme in its haze.
Standing within, he seems to be ascending to a unique state that allows him to completely overlook the Heavenly King Domain.
"This True Realm... is indeed too 'fragile'."
Ji Jingqiu contemplated for a moment and agreed with Brother Qi.
Within the scope of this True Realm, all skills are silent, enough to crush any heavenly king who is not a Heavenly Monarch, and it contains a mysterious power; however, it is too fragile and its restorative nature is far inferior to the One True Dharma Realm.
Once injured, it causes Dao wounds.
Indeed, it is almost a chicken rib.
Speaking of which, the Daluo Heaven opened jointly by the Five Pillars, another name is also the True Realm. I don't know if it's merely a coincidence or if there's a shared deeper meaning.
Ji Jingqiu's thoughts fluctuated as if sensing something from the void, and the True Realm suddenly changed with his mind.
The originally sacred, hazy, and clear True Realm became tainted with blood, as if ink dropped into water.
This bloodstain came without warning, crimson seeping from the void. Initially, it was just a drop falling from the top, but soon it turned into thousands of threads and eventually flooded across the entire world like a tide breaking its banks!
Ji Jingqiu frowned, patiently waiting for the abrupt change in the True Realm.
Soon, his expression changed.
This blood rain gave him an unusually familiar feeling.
He abruptly looked into the Inner World, especially at the sky.
The blood rain fell on the canopy of the Bodhi Tree, collected by the branches and leaves, flowed down layer by layer, and when it dripped into the Merit Pool, it was already incredibly clear.
"Is this... the Bitter Sea projection?"
Ji Jingqiu was able to visualize the Bitter Sea early on, enticing Bitter Sea Water to refine his body and spirit. During years of secluded cultivation, he persisted.
"My True Realm, replaced by the Bitter Sea?"
Ji Jingqiu murmured, somewhat uncertain.
But with time, this True Realm was completely covered by blood, leaving only the bleak blood color amidst Heaven and Earth, stirring a bloody wind and rain with wails and divine cries, causing the observer's spine to chill. Ji Jingqiu felt a bit uneasy watching, thinking it was too eccentric. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
And in the deepest part of the blood color, a faint outline of a mountain could be seen, extremely vague.
Even the owner of this True Realm, Ji Jingqiu, couldn't see clearly for a moment despite various attempts, still only able to see a vague outline.
"The True Realm will gradually expand and perfect with the advancement of realm..."
Recalling Brother Qi's words, Ji Jingqiu felt he might have found the answer: this mountain itself was probably vague, not yet formed.
"Mountain in the Bitter Sea... Could it be Wuwang Mountain?"
Ji Jingqiu pondered, if it was truly Wuwang Mountain, everything could be explained, as the Wuwang Mountain he visualized was incomplete.
He looked deep into his Inner World, at the majestic mountain that had been drenched for decades. It was indeed clearer compared to the beginning, as if it had been supplemented, but overall, it was still far away from completion.
To complete it, it might take tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years, or longer.
"If I have the chance in the future, I want to visit Wuwang Mountain once more, to glimpse its essence..."
After temporarily sorting out the essence of True Realm's changes, Ji Jingqiu's thoughts shifted, attempting to restore its original appearance.
Unexpectedly, this True Realm of his seemed like two sides of a coin, directly reverting to its original sacred appearance at his will, in the golden sea of light, divine waves surged, mighty as if the culmination of innumerable suns and moons.
The transformation of two sides, like a God on one side and a Demon on the other.
Unknown except for himself, whether such situations have occurred to Heavenly Monarchs throughout history.
As the True Realm resumed its original appearance, Ji Jingqiu lifted his gaze, his eyes seeing the turbulent Qi Fortune in Heaven and Earth.
As he reached the Peak of Heaven King, infinitely close to the Heavenly Venerate Domain, the originally misty Qi Fortune manifested realistically in his eyes.
Above the Primordial Palace, like flowers adorning brocade, oil cooking under fierce flame.
The overall Qi Fortune was continuously rising and climbing steadily.
To directly observe Qi Fortune means beginning to touch the River of Destiny.
Destiny and Time have always been considered two Dao of extremely high position.
What is destiny? From his position, it's still too early to say, even Marshal Ji himself might not dare to claim to fully comprehend the essence of destiny.
But what is Qi Fortune, Ji Jingqiu vaguely gained new insights.
He glanced deep into the Primordial Palace, Qi Fortune thriving, the root causes, however, found in the fluctuating hearts of all disciples in the Primordial Palace.
He heard about the development of Dao in the Netherworld, where early seekers followed the ways of Heaven and Earth and Divine. Even the Divine discovered unprecedented strength among All Spirits.
For instance, life and death, Qi fortune.
Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu inquired Lady La about the relationship between Divine Dao and Qi Fortune.
Among the Four Demons, only she and Taiyi followed the Divine Dao from the start, unlike Wuzhou's two who switched halfway.
"What you want to ask is, what is Qi Fortune, right?"
Hel penetrated Ji Jingqiu's intentions and the certain state he was in.
She said softly:
"When sentient beings in Heaven and Earth gather together, they will give birth to various divine phenomena, including human Heart Qi Fortune."
"Likewise, the back of Qi Fortune is Karma and Tribulation; therefore, upon reaching the Heavenly Venerate, one must face great Tribulation, even a True Saint cannot avoid it."
