Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1277 - 452: My Name Is Praised on the Returning to Truth Road

Or rather, it's a form of suppression, preventing him from contacting the Inner World.

"Is this considered suppressing the Power of the Spirit?" Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself, "If so, the suppression by Wuwang Mountain over the Nether Sea doesn't seem like an exaggeration."

He didn't rush to act, instead adapting to the environment here.

This realm had obvious differences with the Dao from the outside world, making him quite uncomfortable, and his strength was hard to unleash.

Recalling the information left by Ancestor Ning, Ji Jingqiu unfolded his own True Realm, instantly eliminating the sense of disconnect with the Dao, returning to peak condition.

"It seems that the True Realm is a hard requirement; otherwise, no matter how strong, one cannot wield their full strength here."

Ji Jingqiu maintained the sacred aspect of the True Realm as he walked forward.

He walked onto a green stone path, heavy fog appearing in front of him, shrouding the road ahead, like an abyss swallows everything.

Upon seeing this thick fog, Ji Jingqiu's expression became serious. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly uttered a strange yet familiar term:

"Ghostly Mist?"

"This is truly... an old friend."

In past journeys across the Great Universe and the Nine States, upon entering the ranks of taboo, one had to face the incomplete assaults of the Ghostly Mist.

Theoretically, this thing ignores rank, belonging to one of the natural disasters in the Nether Sea, even True Saints head ache when encountering it; unable to drive it away or suppress it, only isolating themselves.

In special circumstances, even the True Saint Dojo sometimes had to relocate, making space for the endless Ghostly Mist.

Back then, Ji Jingqiu solved the mist with the Heart Lamp.

But the mist ahead was obviously more abyssal and dark than those in the Nether Sea.

Ji Jingqiu utilized the Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp, rekindling the Heart Lamp, the light descending, sweeping away the fog ahead, illuminating the path forward.

"This time, I may even uncover the fundamental secrets of the Nether Sea."

"Hmm... Ancestor Ning and Ancestor Hong Yan from the Pantheon left Dao imprints in the Netherworld years ago, perhaps not accidentally?"

"Given the strength of those two, finding Wuwang Mountain shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself; this fragment of the Returning to Truth place had already brought him two surprises with just one glance.

Many mysteries from the past might be answered this time.

He locked onto the distant Wuwang Mountain, decided to target that place, and attempted to touch upon it.

Just as he stepped onto the path forward, a Sword Light pierced through the mist, the sword containing the majestic universe, the Heavenly Dao dominating everything, where even time and fate seemed to present within it; a single sword encompassed all things!

This sword wasn't aimed at him, seemingly just a... greeting?

Even just a greeting carried such awe-inspiring phenomena within the sword.

"Someone else has arrived."

From within the depths of the mist, someone tread on the green stone path.

"Hmm, which Divine Skill is this, able to easily disperse the Deceit Fog here?"

The sword wielder suddenly exclaimed.

Two other figures followed closely behind, breaking through the mist.

Ji Jingqiu glanced over those approaching.

A total of three people, the first to strike was a Sword Immortal, white robes fluttering, holding an Immortal Sword, with a noble demeanor.

The other two, one was an elderly-looking man, dressed in a Daoist Robe, with piercing divine light in his eyes, with supreme Dao patterns emerging, his eyes penetrated Ji Jingqiu's reality, casually speaking:

"Your aura fluctuates, as if you've just completed a breakthrough, entering here so eagerly? Do you wish to die? Go back and continue refining."

The sword wielder chuckled without showing amusement and said, "While Taoist Friend means well, however, this person possesses some kind of strange Divine Skill, capable of isolating the Deceit Fog, it's best to resolve that before any further discussion."

The elder stared at the Heart Lamp shining on Ji Jingqiu's brow, frowning tightly, gradually becoming more serious.

The Sword Immortal raised his eyebrow, seemingly even he couldn't see through or analyze the principle of the Heart Lamp.

Even though the three traveled together, they all concealed their identities without showing their true faces, and the elder clearly pursued the Ten Thousand Skills path.

It seems the Divine Skill on this person indeed has value, worth anticipating.

Ji Jingqiu paid little mind to these two, his attention mainly focused on the third person.

A youthful individual, with delicate features, his refinement rivaling Marshal Qin, though the timelessness in his eyes was unmistakable, and a deep, slightly melancholic aura suffused his presence.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but sigh.

It wasn't that seeing Ancestor Ning here shocked him.

The handwritten history mentioned that this place lacked the concept of time, being pure Chaos.

Thus, later descendants entering might encounter ancestors, and Ancestor Ning himself entered here not just to explore the Returning to Truth place but also to find a particular person.

Ji Jingqiu pondered; having encountered Ancestor Ning upon entry, can it be attributed to some enigmatic karmic link between their fates?

Ji Jingqiu contemplated whether to reveal identities now with recognition or maintain a distance further on.

Speaking of which, Ancestor Ning's appearance in the Ancestor Master Hall isn't consistent, why is the trace he left and his clone here appearing youthful?

Is it a fixation of sorts?

No wonder he chose the youthful Marshal Qin as his anchor for historical existence!

Ultimately, Ji Jingqiu decided on delaying the recognition.

Now isn't suitable for such recognition, which could abruptly demote his seniority, leading to uncomfortable situations, like instructing him to pave a path, preventing any defiance against hierarchy.

Ignoring the scenario while acting yields a misunderstanding, but awareness equates to defying a mentor.

Misunderstanding is preferable.

Conveniently, Ancestor Ning's exterior defies resemblance to the Ancestor Master Hall, failing recognition isn't his liability.

Unless the other strikes first, he will not engage, aiming for amiable interactions!

While Ji Jingqiu was assessing the trio, they were also observing him.
