Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1276 - 452: My Name Is Praised on the Returning to Truth Road

A few days passed, but in everyone's eyes, it was just a fleeting moment.

Wu Tian led the people of the Pantheon to a resting spot; merely having the two nearby families as "neighbors" prompted a special visit from the Pantheon.

On this day, Wu Tian visited again.

After a bit of small talk, he got to the main topic.

"Does the Pantheon have records related to the fragments of the Returning to Truth Realm?"

Chi Xiao gave Wu Tian a deep look and said slowly, "It seems the Ancestor Master of the Primordial Palace also found the path, after all, considering the great talent like Junior Brother Ji appeared."

He directly pointed out the truth, turning the probing into an open reveal.

"What fragments of the Returning to Truth Realm?" Qing Xia asked suspiciously from the side, "Why haven't I heard about this?"

"Once your nephew Qingmu finishes refining the Heaven Opening Divine Power, then you'll both be informed. According to the calculations within the Pantheon, at least two Heavenly Monarchs need to travel together and look out for each other to greatly increase the chances of survival."

Chi Xiao pondered for a moment and then said, "In fact, this time around, it might not open for you. We're still hesitating because remnants of the Ghost Mansion have started to stir."

"What does that have to do with the Ghost Mansion?"

"The fragment of the Returning to Truth Realm was originally brought back by the master of the Ghost Mansion," Chi Xiao said meaningfully, "Many years ago, various Ancestor Masters hunted the Ghost Mansion, not just because that person was too ambitious, intending to open reincarnation for the world."

Wu Tian frowned and asked, "The remnants of the Ghost Mansion control this territory?"

He suddenly felt a bit of regret.

He shouldn't have let Zhang Tiancheng leave like that back then.

"I'm not sure."

Chi Xiao shook his head,

"Saying they have control might be overstating, but theoretically, they would indeed understand that Returning to Truth Realm better than us."

"That place is very strange; even the Ancestor Masters, due to momentary carelessness, had suffered defeat within it."

Chi Xiao specifically added, "Of course, the Ancestor Masters sent were clones, incarnations."

Wu Tian mulled it over in his heart.

From Junior Brother Ji's previous performance, even two Heavenly Monarchs joining forces might not be his match?

However, Senior Brother Luo's side is too reckless; how could they agree so quickly? If they could travel with the Pantheon's Qing Xia, at least there would be an additional fallback, and at crucial moments, they could sacrifice her for their own sake.

Qing Xia frowned, wondering about the temperament of this True Saint of the Primordial Palace, always sneaking glances at her?

"The Primordial Palace is planning to explore that Realm of Truth?" Chi Xiao asked.

The exploration has already begun... 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"There is indeed an intention," Wu Tian sought advice, "In Brother Chi's eyes, just how dangerous is that territory?"

Chi Xiao remained silent for a moment, his tone inexplicable:

"Over the years, less than ten percent of those who entered from the Pantheon have returned safely."

"When I was young, although I hadn't reached the realm of a Heavenly Monarch, I had met the standards left by the Ancestor Masters. Along with a few fellow junior brothers, I went there, and eventually encountered the Ancestor Master of the Heavenly Prison Palace, and in the end, only I managed to escape with my life..."

Wu Tian's pupils suddenly shrank, "You encountered the Ancestor Master of the Heavenly Prison Palace? When?!"

Qing Xia was also taken aback; how could the normally unassuming Senior Uncle Chi Xiao escape alive from the Ancestor Master's hands?

"Impossible!" Wu Tian suddenly said, "Before your birth, they had long left! Even our Ancestor Masters couldn't meet them once!"

Chi Xiao sighed, "That's the key issue. That ghostly place lacks the fundamental rules of space-time and destiny, so as long as you're lucky, you can encounter all the beings that have entered it."

Wu Tian drew a sharp breath, didn't this mean...

Junior Brother Ji might encounter the clones of the Ancestor Masters from back then inside?

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he had already been "recruited," so there shouldn't be a repeat situation.

But soon, Wu Tian realized the true meaning of Chi Xiao's words.

"Even those who have entered the Transcendence Domain, disregarding time and destiny, get bound?"

Upon saying this, Wu Tian inhaled a Dao Rhyme, linking it to a terrifying possibility, and whispered:

"If future powerful entrants caused temporal chaos, would the karma also apply to our Ancestor Masters?!"

"It's time chaos, not disorder; there's an essential difference between the two," Chi Xiao said calmly. "To be more precise, it's not binding, but being 'unified,' being 'unified' by that piece of Returning to Truth Realm."

Wu Tian's eyes widened, "At this critical moment, you're splitting hairs with me?!"

"It's very important; being wrong directly affects everything," Chi Xiao said with a serious expression, "Besides, why should I tell you this? It's information that the Pantheon sacrificed many talents to obtain."

Wu Tian was about to ask at what cost, but then remembered that Junior Brother Ji had already impatiently jumped into the ancient well, so asking wasn't useful anymore. He restrained his impulse for the time being.

He sighed, only hoping that Junior Brother Ji would be among that ten percent.

...

...

Descending along the massive vines, Ji Jingqiu soon arrived in front of a street.

He tried various means and finally ignited a wisp of Spirit Light, illuminating the path ahead, stepping onto the bluestone path.

This place didn't seem like a wasteland; rather, it looked like it had been inhabited...

He looked up.

The Inverted Mountain seemed to be at the horizon's edge, only visible from afar, with unknown distance in between.

The outline of this mountain, at first glance, resembled the Mountain of Delusion...

Ji Jingqiu felt a slight heat from a mark on the back of his hand.

This was an imprint he received years ago when climbing the Ancient Road of Emperor Heaven to its utmost limit.

At this moment, after many years, it was activated once again, its meaning self-evident.

Ji Jingqiu was now seventy to eighty percent sure that the Mountain of Delusion was related to the Returning to Truth Realm.

"Mountain of Delusion, Heartless Sea..."

Ji Jingqiu attempted to re-enter the Inner Realm, wanting to ask Hel and Wuzhou if they knew more about it, but found that here, he was actually isolated.
