Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1283 - 454: After I Leave, Who Among the Living Will Found Sects and Claim Ancestry (Part 2)
At this moment, the elder who called himself Cang finally brushed off the moss covering the stele, revealing lines of Dao inscriptions. Cang quickly glanced over them and his expression changed drastically, subconsciously looking at the back of Ji Jingqiu.
These Dao inscriptions had no textual boundaries; as long as one’s realm was adequate and their understanding of the Dao reached a certain level, they could interpret them.
However, the stele was incomplete, and the sentences on it were not fully present.
But just those few words were enough to leave him inexplicably shocked.
The Sword Master and the young Ning had initially been observing the opposite bank of the river, but suddenly noticed Cang’s unusual expression, and quickly approached.
After reading the Dao inscriptions on the stele, the two were both like Cang, with pupils contracting like needle tips, their expressions extremely serious and solemn.
——After I depart, I wonder how many in the world will establish teachings and call themselves Ancestors, and how many dare claim to be invincible...
They all instinctively looked towards the direction of the "World Venerable," aghast at heart.
This person previously mentioned the road’s end was a stone bridge and stele, and now it’s all proven true. Even if they were inherently suspicious, they still harbored doubts, yet at this moment couldn’t help but associate the one who left the inscription with the true form at the road’s end spoken of by the World Venerable...
Could they be the same person?!
World Venerable, World Venerable...
Does World Venerable mean that Heaven and Earth Unification from the most ancient times?!
The three Ancestor Masters did not exchange glances, each with countless chaotic thoughts arising in their hearts.
Why travel far after stepping into the Transcendence Domain? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Because of "Unity"!
Transcendence is Unity, once stepping into this domain, even doing nothing, mere existence would draw everything around towards them, until all things converge upon them, turning them into part of the transcender.
So the transcenders had to travel far for the sake of what they cherished.
Those who were carefree, reckless, were compelled under the threat of other transcenders, having no choice but to journey together.
And transcenders like Ning from later generations followed the "guidance" of predecessors, embarking on the Path of Returning to Truth.
At this moment, the young Ancestor Master looked solemn. The reason he entered this fragment of the Returning to Truth land was to hesitantly decide whether to set off.
According to the secrets he discovered, the domain he stepped into afforded true great freedom, but this freedom came at the cost of the freedom of All Spirits. And ultimately, there would be a decisive victory among Returning to Truth people, leaving only "one" person between Heaven and Earth.
To resolve all of this, one must go to the Returning to Truth land!
He looked at Cang and the Sword Master, these two should know more than him.
The Sword Master murmured, "Indeed, the Nether Mansion’s speculation is true, before the living beings with spirits, there really was a Heaven and Earth Unification."
Ning’s expression was grim, and he asked, "Brother Jian, may I ask, what exactly was the cause of death for the master of the Nether Mansion back then?"
"You are a transcender of later generations, aren’t you?"
Cang preemptively spoke with deep eyes, but did not answer Ning’s question, instead speaking to himself,
"If the Returning to Truth pull everything in Heaven and Earth to themselves, then when all realms no longer exist, and the Sea of Realms collapses, leaving only the Returning to Truth people..."
"Would the situation turn into the Returning to Truth people mutually ’merging and unifying’?
"At that time, even if the Returning to Truth do not wish to be enemies, they would find themselves in a situation where they must fight, to absolutely not let others seize advantages and initiative, preventing a snowball effect, therefore..."
"The Nether said, better let him reopen Heaven and Earth."
"Reopen Heaven and Earth?" Ning’s eyes narrowed.
"The true cause of death for the Nether still lies in the fact that he went to the ’Returning to Truth land.’" The Sword Master said blandly, "This is ’initiative.’
Ning was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do we have a chance to find the master of the Nether Mansion in this Earth Territory?"
The Sword Master gave him a glance, surprised, "You came in to seek the Nether?"
Then he nodded, "This path is chaotic. Theoretically, it can encounter all entrants, involving karma, it can even transcend time and space, breaking all laws. It is because of this specificity that we believe the Nether truly went to the Returning to Truth land."
Cang was about to speak, but suddenly fell silent.
Because Ji Jingqiu had finally turned around and saw the Dao inscriptions on the stele.
In his eyes, heavenly lightning fell endlessly, Heaven and Earth turned upside down, the sun and moon were annihilated, all paths deviated, the entire world sunk, and all gods and saints faced decay and twilight.
The three only felt their sight being pulled into the scene within the World Venerable’s pupils, as if plunged into it, swayed by the worldly dust, finally retreating a step, Dao rhyme flickering around, freeing themselves from this pull, with an expression of shock.
At the same time.
The grand Dao characters on the stele shone brightly like the sun, Infinite Wisdom Light illuminating Ji Jingqiu from within, sacred and radiant.
"This is... Dao Resonance?"
"The World Venerable really wouldn’t be that person..."
"Impossible! At most it’s just remnants, a shed skin!" Cang decisively said.
Opposite the stone bridge, that blurry figure standing in the mist, at this moment moved as if turning to look.
...
Ji Jingqiu stood on This Shore, witnessing someone crossing the stone bridge from the Other Shore, reaching This Shore.
That person was calm and composed, covered in blood, yet seemed ethereal and agile, like a Banished Immortal emerging into the world, stepping serenely and peacefully, with a sense of transcendence.
Ji Jingqiu tried various methods, but still couldn’t discern the person’s true visage.
He came alone, crossed the stone bridge, and at the last moment turned and shattered the stone bridge, leaving a stele with two lines of text on the bank.
After doing all this, he walked in the direction Ji Jingqiu had come from. When passing by Ji Jingqiu, he turned his head as if to glance, smiling gently, his eyes tender.
Ji Jingqiu opened his mouth to say something, but the other had already departed, leaving bloody footprints on the ground step by step, as if dragging a severely injured body, heading to the Human World before death.
