Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 960 - 349: Karmic and Emotional Debts, Hitting a Wall

Taoist Qinglian watched the silhouette in the void with great interest.

The figure was a handsome young man with exquisite features, appearing younger than Ji Jingqiu, yet his aura and Dao Rhyme were omnipresent, contending with the Demon Court's True Saint for control over the surrounding universe and heavens.

With a single thought, his Power of the Spirit swept across the stars, harnessing the Dharma and Taoist Rules, raising a magnificent Heavenly Palace grand tower, standing within it, Chaos Qi spreading, governing a grand world.

"This little guy is stronger than before."

Taoist Qinglian muttered to himself, showing no fear of this person, instead introducing him to Ji Jingqiu,

"This person's Dao name is Ten Thousand Tribulations, known as Taoist Ten Thousand Tribulations, creator of the Taoist Inheritance named [Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain], only succeeded in enlightenment thirty thousand years after me, has a feud with your Federation's Mu Shitian and sees him as a Dao enemy."

At this moment.

A soft humming sound, like a Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar, echoed; a Great Halberd emerging slowly from the young man's brow, swirling with overwhelming Chaos lightning light, its murderous intent stirring the star river, incomparably domineering!

Just the aura diffusing was cold enough to tear through the void, the bright halberd blade seemed to reflect eternity, subduing various Dharma and Dao Truth beneath its blade.

This was a True Saint Level Divine Weapon, not a projection, but a True Form!

Previously, Ji Jingqiu had only seen incomplete projections limited to the Heavenly Human Rank; now, before him, was an awakened Divine Weapon True Form!

And upon seeing that Great Halberd, Ji Jingqiu's pupils suddenly contracted.

It was this Great Halberd that once forcibly breached the Ancient Road's prohibition, briefly severed the Time River, attempting to intrude into Wuwang Mountain!

So it was the powerful one from Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain trying to breach Wuwang Mountain and seize him that day?!

Because later, the Heavenly Saint Lake and Yaochi Fairyland issued a "notice," he once thought it was a powerful one from Yaochi Fairyland or Heavenly Saint Lake.

"Demon Immortal, do you truly wish to oppose me?"

Taoist Ten Thousand Tribulations's tone was cold and chilly; he brandished his Divine Weapon, his battle intent soaring and sharp, confronting the Demon Court's True Saint, a thick, ghostly killing intent flooding the skies.

He was making it clear that he was determined in this endeavor, unafraid to truly battle the Demon Court.

Under normal circumstances, the Demon Court's True Saint would choose to step back, unlikely to clash with Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain for an outsider.

But today's situation was evidently different.

An immortal light pierced through the universe, descended in a patch of flying immortal light rain, full of auspicious Qi.

The True Saint who had been shrouded in immortal light finally revealed his true form, an old white-haired Demon Immortal with features similar to the elves Ji Jingqiu had seen, dark hair fluttering, holding an oiled-paper umbrella, unfurling Daluo Heavens.

"Ten Thousand Tribulations, you are too unruly." The Demon Immortal coldly rebuked, "Also, take a look at who else is present!"

Ten Thousand Tribulations's expression was emotionless, his gaze briefly glancing over Qinglian, not lingering, as if unseen.

"Dao Yi, are you pretending not to see me?" Taoist Qinglian smiled faintly, "If I had known today, I wouldn't have saved you back then."

Ten Thousand Tribulations furrowed his brow, his voice striving for calm, saying, "Could it be Brother Qinglian? Never thought there would be a time to meet again in this life, why don't you come to Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain, so I can play host?"

"Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain?" Qinglian Daoist smirked, "I dare to go to Burial Sea, but not your Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain."

Taoist Ten Thousand Tribulations's expression remained unchanged, "Brother, you're joking."

Taoist Qinglian's expression changed, coldly shouting:

"One word, move or not!"

Taoist Ten Thousand Tribulations temporarily remained silent, his brows furrowed, appearing caught in some dilemma.

Taoist Qinglian merely looked at him coldly, without saying more, utterly fearless.

Suddenly, Taoist Ten Thousand Tribulations fixed his gaze on Taoist Qinglian, saying deeply:

"That Dao Fruit is on you?"

Taoist Qinglian coldly smiled, "Think carefully about how much Karma debt you owe me."

Ten Thousand Tribulations looked at him deeply, hesitated little, retrieved his war halberd, and turned to leave.

"Dao Yi owes Brother much, yet today, positions differ; when we meet again, Dao Yi shall retreat three steps, three times, to repay Brother's kindness."

Watching him leave, Qinglian was unsurprised, Spirit Communication to Ji Jingqiu said:

"Your cheap master's Karma Path, paired with my personal Karma debt, even a True Saint must avoid the edge temporarily."

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "Is the Dao Fruit of Master Mu truly with the senior?"

Qinglian glanced at him, "Of course not, but would he dare gamble?"

Having said that, he looked at the Demon Immortal and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Taoist friend, for your assistance."

"Brother Dao is gracious." The Demon Immortal softly said, "But still be careful, I can feel that Ten Thousand Tribulations hasn't gone far, he stops nearby, I'll personally escort Brother Dao some way."

"Much obliged, Taoist friend."

The Demon Immortal of the Demon Court personally escorted them far before returning.

After leaving the Demon Court's territory.

Ji Jingqiu asked: "Shall we go to the Holy Temple next?"

He actually had some ties with the Holy Temple as well, though they were "negative," previously aiding Taiyin Divine Palace, taking down Martial Artists of the Holy Temple.

Taoist Qinglian shook his head, "If the person at the Holy Temple is indeed the one I suspect, then we needn't seek him out; he understands the necessity of extinguishing the Four Demons."

"How far are you from Heavenly Person Perfection?"

He suddenly changed topics, asking Ji Jingqiu about his current realm.

"Not far, just one Thunder Disaster short." Ji Jingqiu said, "Mainly, the recent gains are vast, I still need some time to temper them, somewhat uncomfortable."

Taoist Qinglian examined him for a few moments, clicking his tongue:

"With your Dao Foundation, what breakthrough did you achieve earlier to feel uncomfortable, still needing tempering?"

"I heard you've already mastered the [Omnipresent] trait, now also mastering [Daluo Heaven]; you're just a step away from the Illusion Dao and Heavenly King Dharma Realm, right?"
