Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1297 - 459: Tiger’s Roar in the Mountains, Pearls and Jade in Hand

Of course, they do not fear death; after all, it's merely a clone. They just feel that reaching the end is too difficult, with no hope in sight.

The road ahead will only be harder.

The Sword Master casually brushed the Broken Sword and said lightly, "Since we're here, we naturally have to take a look."

Yu Hua replied, "Don't worry, you're definitely going to die before me."

The elder named Duo Bao chuckled and said, "It's always worth it to try."

The one who seemed to stand among the crowd yet independent, "Void," looked up and smiled faintly, "I indeed have some interest in taking a look. Don't hold me back."

The God named Xuan Valley exchanged a glance with the female Sword Immortal on his shoulder, saying nothing.

At the back of the team, the blood-soaked young Ancestor Ning slightly panted, saying nothing as well. If not for the protection of the Sword Master and World Venerable, he would have already fallen like the others ahead.

Finally, Ji Jingqiu made the final decision, boosting everyone's morale:

"I've broken through again."

Everyone immediately cast strange glances his way.

Even Void couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

Could this person in the Heavenly King Domain actually enhance without limits?

The Sword Master was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Pretty funny, you win."

Void curiously remarked, "Is the World Venerable Taoist Friend absorbing the Dao Rhyme amid this Heaven and Earth?"

Everyone frowned. The Dao Rhyme between Heaven and Earth at the Other Shore, for them, was not nourishing but rather like poison, only eroding their Dao practices. Yet the World Venerable did the opposite; could it have something to do with his background?

They had long suspected that the World Venerable came from the Other Shore.

Ji Jingqiu did not shy away from acknowledging.

Witnessing Ji Jingqiu's acknowledgment, everyone felt uncertain whether to breathe a sigh of relief or show complex expressions.

Because this meant he indeed was connected to the Other Shore, and also meant that he had truly... broken through.

"Take a brief rest; I'll lead you to the foot of the mountain."

Ji Jingqiu stood with his sword, looking far into the center of the sky curtain where the Inverted Mountain lay; finally, he calmed his mind, concentrating, cutting away all distractions, and absorbed the Dao Rhyme between Heaven and Earth, nurturing himself.

Everyone had just ended a bloody battle, beginning their final respite.

When a rumbling sound came from the distant sky curtain.

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes, and first drew his sword to open the way, guiding the Ancestor Masters forward, the most fierce battle yet erupted above the sky curtain.

One by one, Ancestor Master's clones exploded mid-air, fighting desperately to carve open the Heavenly Road ahead; in the end, dozens were reduced to but a few.

Ji Jingqiu still led the front; the True Realm grew increasingly radiant with Spirit Light, akin to a true Dao Source, endlessly expanding, ingesting the Dao Rhyme amid Heaven and Earth, as if it wanted to replace this sky curtain.

He stood in the True Realm, like forging a place immune to Ten Thousand Skills, shredding all obstacles in his path, his gaze fixated only on ahead.

At this moment, only three remained following him.

The last was Ancestor Ning, whom he deliberately sheltered.

Next was the Sword Master; Yu Hua indeed died before him.

Closely following Ji Jingqiu was "Void."

This person kept his sleeves tucked, following Ji Jingqiu with no evident movements, yet the Light of Primordial Spirit flashed, causing all who approached to explode mid-air.

"Returning to Truth Road, dual souls of Heaven and Earth, billions of clans, all are on the path..."

The man named Void cast his gaze on Ji Jingqiu, suddenly transmitting:

"World Venerable Taoist Friend, are you from the future?"

Ji Jingqiu did not respond; dealing with these Ancestor Master-level figures, saying more or less was wrong, best to keep silent.

Void did not mind, saying, "Taoist Friend ought not be a being from the Other Shore, yet can refine the Dao Rhyme amid this Heaven and Earth. You may later visit the Void Realm, where I'll leave something for you, to verify some of my speculations."

Ji Jingqiu remained silent with closed eyes.

"Gentlemen, I shall proceed first." Ning suddenly spoke.

Ning himself was not entirely clear why Ji Jingqiu took such care of him.

Even Cang, his initial companion, had long since fallen mid-journey, yet Ning arrived at the last step.

Now at this moment, everyone arrived at the foot of the Inverted Mountain, Ning couldn't hold on further.

Even with Ji Jingqiu's support, the Dao Rhyme amid this Heaven and Earth seemed like the last straw, wearing down this clone of Ning until it vanished.

"World Venerable Brother, thank you for the care during this time."

In their final farewell, Ning transmitted to Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu turned back to glance at the young Ancestor Master, raising his hand to cast a Divine Skill that Ning had once created, indirectly revealing the truth to the latter.

Seeing the divine power technique originating from his own hand, the young Ancestor Master's scalp tingled, his expression shocked, in the final moment, still disbelieving as he stared at Ji Jingqiu, seemingly questioning, was it coincidence again?

Or are you playing tricks with me?!

Cang Jian couldn't help but curiously ask, "What did you say to him in private? Why did his expression suddenly change before leaving?"

Ji Jingqiu smiled, "Said nothing."

Soon after, he deeply glanced at Cang Jian; previously, in the dialogue between the Sword Master and Yu Hua Daoist, Ji Jingqiu guessed this one's true identity.

Regrettably, within the Other Shore world, his sensing with his Inner Heaven and Earth reduced to a minimum, even Sword Light Brother remained asleep in the True Spirit Pool.

However, during this time, he indeed learned quite a bit covertly from this person; when he gets out, perhaps he might give Sword Light Brother a surprise.

The three did not pause or stop, continuing onward, after traversing some distance, the Sword Master suddenly halted, regrettably saying, "Everyone, from here on, I leave the rest to you." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Lastly, he glanced at Ji Jingqiu, suddenly laughed and cursed, "What a pity, still have to forget you, oh well, forgetfulness is good, may reverse history, see you again on the future Returning to Truth Road!"
