Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1274 - 451: Innate Divine Strength, Land of Returning to Truth (2)

"Does the palace have records from the previous epoch about the Skillful Heavenly Monarch?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.

He wanted to learn more about this Pathfinder who paved the way for the Heavenly Monarch, perhaps to figure out the reason.

"Even if the Primordial Palace doesn't have them, some allied forces surely do," Qin Qingchuan said flatly. "I will have someone help you gather them, also to pave the way for my future."

Ji Jingqiu knew that Marshal Qin was currently still in the preparation stage for rebuilding his path.

After the Heavenly Blade awakened his past memories, Marshal Qin combined the path of his previous life with the Daoist Collection left by Master Ning, attempting to find a path of transcendence.

"Did Master He and Master Mu ever step into the Heavenly Monarch Domain back then?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.

Qin Qingchuan shook his head. "At that time, we hadn't even heard of the Heavenly Monarch stage. After reaching Heavenly King, each of us followed our own Dao, at most verifying and learning from each other."

Ji Jingqiu thought deeply. In the past epoch, there was no so-called Heavenly Monarch, yet people of that era could still break through the limits of Heaven and Earth on their own, surpassing the Eighth Realm Barrier, and eventually breaking through the Transcendence Domain.

This shows that the so-called Heavenly Monarch is not necessarily the Extreme Realm of the Heavenly King Domain, but just a benchmark set by predecessors.

Ji Jingqiu looked down at his own palm. He had not yet been tested, but he could clearly sense that his Dao Power had surged again.

And this surge in Dao Power had started from when he first opened the Heaven Opening Divine Power.

So, this means...

Ji Jingqiu pondered.

Could it be that due to the surge in Dao Power, he broke through some restriction, smoothly stepping into the level of a Heavenly Monarch?

This could also be considered a leap across an Extreme Realm.

"By the way, you had a fight with someone before?" Qin Qingchuan suddenly asked.

Ji Jingqiu, still contemplating the speculation he had just generated, nodded absentmindedly and replied:

"A woman from another force, just a few casual moves."

Having now stepped into the Heavenly Monarch stage, although the Heaven Opening Divine Power had not yet fully developed, his Dao Power had made another leap.

It was already equivalent to his self in the Chaohua Realm, who had fused two Proof of Killing Tribulations, and at that time, even if a group of Heavenly Monarchs united, they were still resisting stubbornly.

In this situation, a female Heavenly Monarch naturally did not concern him.

"Uncle Master, allow me to browse through the texts left by Ancestor Ning to verify some things."

Saying this, Ji Jingqiu quickly walked into the study.

What he wanted to review was not how to break through to Heavenly Venerable, but the True Realm.

Having personally experienced the derivation of the True Realm, he felt that it was somewhat similar to something he had previously perused.

And the fact that Ancestor Ning left handwritten texts on it speaks volumes about its importance.

"Safeguarding and not losing, this is called returning to its truth..."

"When delusion is eliminated, the True Self is seen; in one thought, born and destroyed, is eternity..."

"All Laws are Void, a thought is the truth..."

"Comprehend the Heavenly Dao, relieve oneself of burdens..."

"Awake as in a dream, seek truth in the dream..."

As Ji Jingqiu immersed himself in reading the books authored by Ancestor Ning, he gained a comprehensive understanding of the two words "Returning to Truth," or rather, of what Ancestor Ning saw as "Returning to Truth."

What is Returning to Truth?

It is not only the Unity of All Things, the world returning to truth, everything converging towards the transcender, ultimately assimilated to become part of them.

It is more about washing away all embellishments, returning to simplicity, and seeing the reality.

No.

It should be about seeking truth!

After returning to simplicity, it is about seeking truth and losing oneself.

The idea of losing oneself even slightly overlaps with the Federation's Sitting Forget True Meaning.

And the seeking of truth secretly aligns with the Heavenly Monarch's True Realm.

Indeed, different paths lead to the same ultimate Dao.

Seeking truth, Dao Asking, Unity of All Things—

This is Ancestor Ning's view of the true meaning of Returning to Truth, directly pointing to the fundamental of everything in the Dao.

Ji Jingqiu eagerly read through various handwritten texts, regardless of whether he could fully comprehend them immediately, he absorbed them all indiscriminately.

"Returning to Truth Land, Realm of Truth?"

Ji Jingqiu suddenly found this term in one of the texts, his expression turning solemn.

In this section, Ancestor Ning left only a few words.

However, Ji Jingqiu could still tell that this Returning to Truth Land seemed to be what all the transcendents were seeking.

"Also known as the Realm of Truth, could it be related to the Heavenly Monarch's True Realm?"

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself as he continued reading.

Gradually, a slightly clearer network of veins appeared in his mind, as if a mist had been halfway dispelled, with clarity and ambiguity intertwining.

"Ancestor Ning once opened a special Heaven and Earth in the Heavenly King Domain, which later proved to be a partial projection of the Returning to Truth Land?"

Ji Jingqiu's expression was serious, perhaps Ancestor Ning had once also stepped into the Heavenly Monarch Domain, having opened the True Realm.

"After advancing to the True Saint Domain, Ancestor Ning sought the traces of the Returning to Truth Land along this special Heaven and Earth, and although he did not find it, he benefited greatly..."

"The Skillful Heavenly Monarch of that time named it the Human World, also called it the True Realm. Did he foresee something early on?"

"Returning to Truth Land..."

"Hmm?!"

Ji Jingqiu's pupils suddenly contracted sharply as he discovered the most crucial piece of information and suddenly looked at the ancient well in the courtyard.

Ancestor Ning recorded that someone once returned with a fragment of the Returning to Truth Land, proving its existence.

"Nether Mansion Master...who is this significant figure?"

Ji Jingqiu muttered. In Ancestor Ning's records, it mentioned that led by the Heavenly Prison Palace, a coalition of transcendence gates ambushed the Nether Mansion, and this fragment of the Returning to Truth Land was thereafter lost.

After the evolution through a long epoch, it became a realm suspended beyond the Sea of Realms.

He had an impression of the Heavenly Prison Palace; it was what Sword Light casually made up to deceive Senior Sky Wolf.
