Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 444 - 198: There Are Always Some Birds That Like to Fly into the Blade (8k)_2
Chapter 444: Chapter 198: There Are Always Some Birds That Like to Fly into the Blade (8k)_2
Senluo halted the further conversation of the few, making the excuse of needing to hurry on their way and quickly left with Ji Jingqiu.
Due to time constraints, the two of them embarked on their journey that very night.
Although the Boundary River served as a transfer point among countless fragmented planes, the Ancient Road was still vast. According to records, there were several dozen historically famous neutral cities and planes of various sizes scattered along the Ancient Road.
The two were heading to the next famous neutral city—Qingnang City, and it took them four days just traveling on the road.
The scenery along the way was bizarre and varied. Sometimes, they could even see a bubble representing a plane lightly "pop" then shatter.
And that signified the complete collapse of a plane.
The scenery on the Ancient Road varied, but Ji Jingqiu did not see the giant whale he had seen last time.
"Giant whale on the Ancient Road?"
Hearing Ji Jingqiu’s description, Senluo shook his head and said,
"I’ve never heard of it, nor have I seen any records of it in my clan’s archive. But anything could happen on the Ancient Road, not just giant whales; any mythical creatures might appear."
Four days later, they arrived at the plane world where Qingnang City was located.
Though called a plane world, the actual size of Qingnang Plane was only about ten times that of Taian City. But the space here was exceptionally stable, and there had been no signs of collapse so far.
The style of Qingnang City was distinctly different from that of Void Boat City; the latter was more modern with a mix of ancient styles, whereas the former was entirely traditional. Along the way, many buildings were made of wood, which relates to a special product of Qingnang Plane—this place produced a type of incorruptible wood that also emitted a refreshing fragrance.
The situation here was similar to Void Boat City.
Several native major clans guarded the city, and many Martial Artists resided within. The largest Trialist force in the city was the Moon Palace, led and organized by the Moon Ring.
"As a neutral city primarily serving as a trading and recruiting point, it definitely cannot serve as a foundation for power..."
Along the way, Senluo kept talking.
The two went straight into the depths of the city and directly found the headquarters of Moon Palace, clearly stating their purpose.
The person responsible for receiving them recognized Senluo immediately, as he was not an ordinary figure among the younger generation in the Southern Wilderness Continent.
Being a significant power of the Moon Ring in the Southern Wilderness Continent, collecting comprehensive information about top young Martial Artists from various clans was natural.
Therefore, they politely invited the two inside, creating a stark contrast with the others around.
Senluo, with a calm expression, was not surprised by this treatment and walked in boldly.
They were brought to the top floor of a pavilion to rest, where an exquisitely carved railing was paired with a rustic stone table and several stone stools. A gentle breeze came by, and turning their heads to the side, they could see a perfectly arranged cluster of buildings with an excellent view.
It was indeed a treatment for distinguished guests.
Soon after, someone gently knocked on the door before coming in.
When he saw the person coming, Senluo’s expression changed, and he stood up to greet them with slight excitement:
"Moon Saintess..."
The person who came was a woman, as radiant as the full moon, dressed in a silver robe, with a skin as delicate as jade and a clear, cold demeanor, her skin suffused with a diffuse silver moonlight.
She wasn’t breathtakingly beautiful, but her temperament was unique. She seemed cold, but not indifferent; rather, she was like the Guanghan Fairy—cool and detached from the mundane, with an extraordinary demeanor.
Ji Jingqiu also stood up as the host arrived to greet him, naturally, there was no reason to remain seated.
He fixed his Bodhi Eyes on the woman in front of him.
Like him, she had also stepped into Divine Travel, and in his eyes, a divine halo like a bright moon seemed to surround her body, distancing her from the mortal world—an embodiment of the integration of Divine and Dharma.
Her strength was not to be underestimated.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this was the Moon Ring’s Taboo Sequence.
Sensing Ji Jingqiu’s scrutiny, the woman glanced at Ji Jingqiu. Originally just a fleeting look, her steps halted the next moment as her gaze became fixated.
The two gazed at each other from afar, intertwining their energy, and a momentary competition spontaneously emerged in the air, creating subtle ripples like underwater currents.
Senluo coughed lightly, interrupting their clashing energies: "I didn’t expect the Moon Saintess herself to receive us! This is my senior brother, Ji Jingqiu, from the Nine Palaces of Yanfu State."
The woman looked deeply at Ji Jingqiu and spoke softly: "Thousands of years ago, the Eight Palaces were renamed as the Nine Palaces. May I know which Palace does this friend belong to?"
"Great Red Sky Palace." Ji Jingqiu replied calmly.
A further trace of solemnity appeared in the woman’s eyes: "So it’s a disciple of the Great Red Sky Lord, no wonder you have achieved taboo status at such a young age. Yue Huansha pays respects."
Years ago, when the Eight Palaces were renamed to Nine Palaces, an old ancestor in the Moon Ring lamented that the Eight Palaces thus increased their strength by another twenty percent!
It indicates the formidable power of the Great Red Sky Lord!
Moreover, the name of that Great Red Sky Lord is still listed in the top hundred of the Far East war zone—Ten Thousand Ancient Stele!
Yue Huansha originally came here to rope in Senluo of the Southern Wilderness Continent, who, as a Quasi-taboo, ranked in the top thirty among his generation and was worth attracting.
But she hadn’t expected this unexpected "joy."
"Are the two of you here to attend the ritual?" Yue Huansha asked.
"Exactly," Senluo hurriedly replied.
"Then I would ask you two to wait two more days. My junior brother chose to have it at noon two days from now. If there are any requests during this period, you can directly speak to the attendants." Yue Huansha spoke gently.
"Rest assured, Moon Saintess!" Senluo patted his chest and said earnestly, "We are here purely to attend the ritual, nothing else."
Once more, Yue Huansha looked deeply at Ji Jingqiu and parted her lips lightly, saying, "I look forward to having a match with Ji Brother in the future."
