Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 956 - 348: Qinglian Appraises the Seven Marshals, True Saint Takes Action
"Not seeing?"
Ji Jingqiu originally thought that this trip to the All Phenomena Divine Country would be as smooth as the Taiyin Divine Hall, but in the end, he was shut out.
Taoist Qinglian lightly coughed and said, "I understand, even if the All Phenomena God Lord wanted to come out to meet me, he would be unable to do so at the moment."
Ji Jingqiu shook his head, "That's not what I meant, Senior may not be aware, the recent new High Priest of the All Phenomena Divine Country is someone from our Yanhuang Federation, born a thousand years ago, Senior Wan Chengcang."
"Wan Chengcang?" Taoist Qinglian pondered, "Sounds familiar, tell me which path he cultivates."
"He, like me, took the Formless Dao Body path in the early period..."
"Wait, Formless Dao Body?"
Taoist Qinglian interrupted Ji Jingqiu's introduction, frowned, and said, "At the True Seed Realm, he cultivates your World Venerable Lineage's Formless Dao Body?"
"Yes."
Taoist Qinglian recalled for a moment and slowly said, "No wonder, this child entering the All Phenomena Divine Country might not be 'accidental,' there must be gaps building within his heart."
Ji Jingqiu's spirit shook, was Senior Wan's entry into the All Phenomena Divine Country a thousand years ago not accidental?
Because of the Formless Dao Body? 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Taoist Qinglian suddenly said:
"Among those seven guys from your Federation, I still like Ke the most, temper like mine back in the day, swift and decisive, yet also values personal feelings."
"Secondly, it's Li Shoucheng and Mu Shitian, one is an old kind-hearted man who values orderly inheritance, can talk to anyone, otherwise, how do you think he managed to sit in the Longevity Temple as the Daoist Master?"
"The Longevity Temple also produced True Saints in the early days, but later disappeared through tribulations and hasn't returned. That Li Shoucheng was once regarded as the next True Saint."
"The other one doesn't need mentioning, do you know why your off-handed master has the qualification to bear the weight of the Bitter Sea? Because he does not kill in his lifetime!"
"Bearing the weight of the Bitter Sea is not something achievable by merely high realm or Dao Power. If it were He Donghuang, let alone bearing the weight of the Bitter Sea, he might not even find where the Bitter Sea is, and the Bitter Sea would never respond to him."
"Hey..."
Saying this, Taoist Qinglian seemed unsatisfied, or still found it incredible, shook his head and murmured:
"Reaching True Saint, never kills in his lifetime; after achieving enlightenment, no one in the world dies because of him, do you understand the weight of this? His Way of Cause and Effect is close to transcendence!"
He paused for a while, continued to comment on the Federation's Seven Marshals, said:
"Next is Qin Tianfeng and Yang Qingshan, one considers himself a killing embryo of the heavens, one embodies chivalry but ultimately fell down, locking himself in the prison as a prisoner..."
A light sigh:
"Don't know after tens of thousands of years, that little guy who's always been youthful in his bones, has he grown up or grown old; that Heavenly Blade which cuts through everything, has it been rusted by the years."
In his depiction, Ji Jingqiu seemed to see realms standing in the past, existing in Taoist Qinglian's memories, standing upstream of the Time River.
Ji Jingqiu, after hearing this, couldn't help but ripple in his heart—
This Senior Qinglian's relationship with the Federation seemed beyond his expectation.
His familiarity with the Seven Marshals goes far beyond owing Marshal Ke a favor.
He might even have experienced the growth and rise of the Seven Marshals and the Federation, and played an important role in it, just like Hel was to him.
"And the one I dislike the most is Ji Tianxing."
Taoist Qinglian slowly said:
"He cultivates divine nature with a human body, inevitably leads to one result—impure divine nature, human nature hard to extinguish, never reaching a state of pure perfection, ultimately becoming neither human nor god."
"That's why the further he goes, the bigger the problem, foundational road error, hard to remedy, even affecting his own style of action. Before, although unpleasant, but not to the extent of being unreasonable, we could even say a worldly-wise and human-savvy man born into a noble family."
Taoist Qinglian's tone turned cold and said, "Your Federation's God Path is what he researched, it could be said to be an utterly dead-end road! Even an evil road! Completely blocking Ke and others' Dao paths!"
Ji Jingqiu was shocked inside, had Marshal Ji encountered a problem in his cultivation?
Human body cultivating divine nature, nearly a dead end?!
Within the Inner World, Hel calmly said, "Ji Tianxing was too greedy, can't blame others, wanting everything, ending up with nothing."
Taoist Qinglian said deeply, "Ji Tianxing left the Federation back then, was actually self-exile."
Ji Jingqiu looked serious, hearing these things made Marshal Ji's situation seem even worse than expected, no wonder he was detained by the Four Demons.
"Then what about Master He?" Ji Jingqiu asked, "Senior, you've mentioned six people, but exclusively left out Master He."
"He Donghuang..."
Taoist Qinglian was silent for a while before speaking:
"There is someone now, who commits multiple evils, devoid of conscience, bullying and dominating are common events, even indulges in eating young children's hearts, requiring three meals a day..."
He used a lengthy description to portray a scum character whose mere mention makes one want to kill quickly.
Then asked:
"But his parents, master, fellow disciples are willing to fight for the Federation, and are even crucial for the Yanhuang Federation to survive future calamities..."
"So Ji Jingqiu, would you kill him?"
This classic dilemma made Ji Jingqiu frown.
Compared to the eternal Federation, what do a few deaths count for?
This is the greater good.
But what if those few slots for dead people fell on you? What if those people do not want to sacrifice?
This is personal sentiment, also morality.
If others were asked, Ji Jingqiu wouldn't even care about such classic trench questions.
