Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1287 - 456: The Mystery of Returning to Truth and the Nether Mansion, Taiping Universe

Cang Jian, Qingming...

Plus the Ancestor Ning who revealed his identity from the beginning.

In Ji Jingqiu's eyes, the identities of these three Ancestor Masters have already been exposed through the mouths of others.

"Apart from Ancestor Ning, I've never heard of them, and it's unclear whether each has transmitted their Gate..."

Ji Jingqiu's Qi has already remotely locked onto the two key figures intercepted by the three Ancestor Masters.

At this distance, the two have already lost the possibility of escape, and under the damn Cang Jian's coercion, they have no choice but to temporarily hold back.

They don't mind too much, at most losing their Clone, but they are worried about the junior disciples who came in together with them.

Those who can enter here are the most outstanding in their Gate, either beloved juniors or important seeds with the potential to become anchors of the world, not to be easily abandoned.

Realizing this, the two quickly changed their mindset—while the other side wants to extract information from them, they also want to find out who that person really is!

Once both sides reached a "consensus," they arrived at the stone bridge.

Leading them were a young man and an old man, neither revealing their true appearance.

The Sword Master examined them for a while, then suddenly sneered, "So it's the old rogue Yu Hua from the Heavenly Cutting Sect. I wondered who you were, showing such teacherly benevolence and brotherly courtesy."

Ji Jingqiu thought, Heavenly Cutting Sect?

The name is familiar; it seems I've encountered two Heavenly Monarchs from this sect in my hands.

But isn't the Heavenly Cutting Sect a Pseudo-Transcend Gate, with the Sect Hierarch transcending through Harmonization of One Realm, and their Ancestors once being wealthy?

The young man snorted coldly, not intimidated in the slightest, but his gaze became solemn when looking at Ji Jingqiu, and he cupped his hands:

"I am Yu Hua of the Heavenly Cutting Sect..."

"Whom are you calling old?" The Sword Master rudely interrupted, "My elder brother dreams for a hundred ages. Before he even went to sleep, you weren't born yet!"

Ji Jingqiu's previous achievements and brief exchanges with the opposite side were all in their eyes.

A powerful enemy from what seemed to be the Land of Returning to Truth clearly stated that Ji Jingqiu possesses several types of Qi familiar to them, once again verifying his previous claims!

At this moment, even the young Ning dispelled his prior concerns and doubts, even feeling that those doubts were overly suspicious.

How could descendants of his Primordial Palace possibly emerge as such transcendent figures, even if he taught them personally? An impossible feat to reach World Venerable levels within the Heavenly King Domain, whether they surpass him is uncertain!

Upon hearing Cang Jian voluntarily disclose details, Yu Hua's expression grew heavy; rather than retort, he pondered the existence of those from a hundred ages ago, seeking Ji Jingqiu's True Self.

"Taoist Friend, such skill. I am Mo, and since this is an exchange of information, there's no need to know each other's true names, as it would only add variable Karma. After all, here in the Land of Chaos, if outside, the karmic ties are too great; it could cause trouble for all."

Another old man spoke, his voice hoarse, wearing ancient robes, snow-white beard, with flowing wide sleeves, carrying a touch of ancient celestial air.

Cang had been observing this person, unfamiliar with Yu Hua, previously claiming to know his True Self, was this person.

The man called himself "Mo," but had never heard of such, and his appearance was unfamiliar, indicating identity concealment.

And his words did carry some truth.

Mo looked at Cang calmly, "Even if our Clones fight to the death, it won't affect the relation between True Selves; Taoist Friend should understand."

The logic is sound, but...

Cang squinted, "I feel like you are deliberately hiding something."

"Taoist Friend is as suspicious as ever." Mo glanced at Ji Jingqiu, "However, I do indeed wish to avoid excessive entanglement with you; surely everyone does? Chaos does not mean freedom; the backlash of karma, historical amendments, even we cannot withstand. We've already seen precedents."

For a moment, everyone fell silent, especially the Sword Master and Cang, seemingly thinking of something.

Ji Jingqiu's thoughtful look indicated that even transcendent Ancestor Masters cannot resist karma of Sea of Realms level, and such incidents have already occurred?

He glanced at Ancestor Ning, the Ancestor's hand-recorded texts didn't mention it.

But the hand-record did mention that the Returning to Truth Road is considered perilous for the Returning to Truth Ancestors.

Entering as Clones would not greatly harm the True Self, but when accompanied by karma...

That explains it.

Ji Jingqiu's heart grew heavy as his gaze passed over the present Ancestor Masters—

Would his entrance this time alter something, causing history to veer off course?

Or is it that what should happen has already occurred in later generations, and his entry was destined?

Ji Jingqiu felt uneasy, for karmic variables involving time are most troubling.

To the strong, altering history is not difficult, especially in usual Realms where the Time River is akin to True Saint levels. True Saints and even Dao Ancestors can change past events, provided they withstand the backlash of historical alteration.

The greater the involvement, the greater the backlash.

During Ji Jingqiu's Reverse Flow through the Time River in Chaohua Realm, he had seen similar incidents where the strong fished people from the Time River, hiding them until the proper time point for their emergence.

This could largely avoid the backlash brought by historical alterations.

"I didn't expect..." Mo studied Ji Jingqiu, organizing his words for a while, and finally spoke, "Taoist Friend's True Self appears so young, even more spirited than my disciples and grandchildren."

Ji Jingqiu said calmly, "A hundred eras like one, pure and unsullied. To seek Only Me True Self, first sever a decaying heart of the mundane. The twilight haze of age is but a stumbling block on the Dao."

Mo was momentarily stunned, then solemnly said, "Lesson learnt."
