Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 959 - 348: Qinglian Appraises the Seven Marshals, True Saint Takes Action

Taoist Qinglian's pupils narrowed slightly.

"Understood." He said in a deep voice, "Thank you for the reminder, Taoist Friend."

The True Saint of the Demon Court shook his head, "You, Taoist Friend, are paving the way for us. We of the Innate owe a layer of gratitude."

Taoist Qinglian hesitated a bit, wanting to say how much the world owes to a certain individual of the Federation.

But in the end, he didn't say it out loud.

For that person never claimed such credit.

The two resumed their journey, but not long after leaving the realm of the Demon Court, they were stopped.

In the void ahead, someone exuding a transcendent aura slowly bent their bow and nocked an arrow, looking down at the two with cold eyes.

Without uttering a word, he drew the arrow and shot it at Ji Jingqiu. The arrow seemed ordinary but moved with eternal speed, surpassing the speed of Spiritual Waves. Dao Rhyme naturally formed, under the arrow a boundless Star Sea's destruction was reflected!

Even from afar, Ji Jingqiu felt suffocated!

This power was too overpowering, leaving him no room to retaliate, he could only watch as the Divine Arrow shot forth to penetrate his heart!

Could this be a top-tier powerhouse among the Heavenly Kings, or even a Heavenly Venerable?!

Ji Jingqiu suppressed the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade within him; he felt it wasn't yet his time to act.

Indeed.

Time seemed to be frozen.

A finger pointed from behind them, and the flying arrow shattered in an instant, finally touching the forehead of the assailant.

In this seemingly frozen time, Ji Jingqiu clearly saw that behind the attacker, a great hand also pressed down, supporting a hazy expanse of Heaven and Earth, where all Ten Thousand Skills decayed, engaging in a bout with the True Saint from the Demon Court!

As for the archer who served as their battleground's intermediary, his body suddenly exploded, his spirit silently ablaze, ultimately perishing in both form and mind.

The entire starry sky began to collapse, Divine Light surged like a tide—the aftermath of their restrained exchange rippling out.

"Does the Demon Court wish to oppose my Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain?"

In the void, a majestic and cold voice echoed like Heavenly Thunder. Just the voice caused Ji Jingqiu's body to tremble, nearly losing his footing.

Taoist Qinglian did not step forward to shield him, allowing him to truly feel what a True Saint Domain was, inspiring his cultivation. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Although...

This kid seems to have a breakthrough speed that defies the heavens, not inferior to Ke and the Seven Marshals.

Taoist Qinglian, without even glancing at the collapsing void ahead, as if everything was as expected, merely said leisurely:

"It seems you have quite the connections, but also quite a few enemies. No wonder Ke wanted me to bring you here instead of accompanying his descendants."

"Ji Jingqiu, after this is over, you'll at least get acquainted with all the True Saints. After the great disaster, who knows whether you'll fare well or poorly."

Ji Jingqiu did not respond, his expression cold.

Is this what a True Saint is? With a single finger, they shattered a suspected top-tier Heavenly King without even giving a chance to react! Just the sound of their voice nearly made him lose his balance.

"Stand firm, don't fall." Taoist Qinglian smiled, "If you can't withstand even the pressure from a single True Saint, how can I take you upstream in time to attend the divine banquet of the Five Pillars?"

A huge hand overshadowed the sky, encompassing a vast expanse, pressing down once more. In an instant, the stars of the heavens shook and fell, all light extinguished, the world plunged into the deepest darkness.

The True Saint of the Demon Court snorted coldly, unabashedly making a move, the great swath of extinguished stars in deep space rekindling brightly, all things reviving, as if time had reversed.

The two engaged briefly in the depths of the void, ultimately ceasing their actions.

"Is this...the true form?"

Taoist Qinglian suddenly murmured softly, his eyes filled with surprise, his gaze piercing through the void to see a realm Ji Jingqiu couldn't perceive.

There stood a mysterious youth, eyes calm, surrounded by an endless starry expanse birthing and perishing, the universe alternating between flourishing and decaying, ultimately leading to eternal silent annihilation.

"Ji Jingqiu, your reputation is indeed significant, to warrant the true body of a True Saint to be deployed just to capture you?"

Taoist Qinglian praised.
