Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 962 - 349: Karmic and Emotional Debts, Hitting a Wall

Because when the heavens tilt, there will always be those who wish to set it right.

Yin Tianping turned back to look towards the Federation's domain where the shining Heavenly Divine Light pierced through the heavens, resembling a Sky Tower that bridges the boundary between humans and gods.

...

...

[Nine Tripod Mountain]

"I apologize, Brother, but my Nine Tripod Mountain is not ready to emerge and will not aid any side."

"Taoist Friend, your words are incorrect. When the heavens tilt, how can there be those who avoid the world?"

"Brother, you exaggerate too much. It's just a great calamity, it won't threaten the foundations of this realm."

"Not so, do you not know..."

"Brother, I must admit, before you came, three or four Saints have already sought me out, but I have refused them all."

"...Then I have disturbed you, Taoist Friend."

"I shall see my Brother out."

...

[Treading Calamity Heaven]

"My Senior Brother is about to undergo the True Saint's great calamity and cannot participate in this great battle, making your journey here fruitless." The old Daoist cupped his hands and said.

"Saint Shouzhen of Heavenly Saint Lake is also about to face the calamity," Ji Jingqiu suddenly said, "When the great calamity arises, it is far better to confront it actively than passively."

His words were what Ancestor Shouzhen once spoke to No Heaven.

However, the face of the old Daoist who was entertaining them on behalf of his Senior Brother suddenly fell without warning, even glaring in anger.

If not for Qinglian being present, he might have already slapped this bothersome youngling to death!

Taoist Qinglian smiled wryly, "What does a youngster know, barely lived a century, no need to be angry with him, Taoist Friend."

In the Inner World, Hel, who knew the inside story, laughed so hard she bent over:

"Pfft, his Senior Brother's great calamity a million years ago was No Law of Heavenly Saint Lake! If not for others mediating, he nearly failed to overcome it!"

Ji Jingqiu: "..."

The old Daoist snorted coldly, it was unclear whether he was truly angered or just found an excuse to start seeing them off.

Taoist Qinglian shook his head, did not entangle, already knowing this one's intention.

The decisions among the True Saints cannot be changed by mere persistence.

He took Ji Jingqiu to the next place.

But unfortunately, it seemed as if their luck for the journey had run out early, visiting five families with scant gains.

At most, they maintained neutrality, helping neither side.

And those unwilling to promise neutrality, their meaning was quite clear.

If you thrive, I will not interfere.

But if the situation topples, I do not mind complying with Heavenly Destiny.

As they proceeded, the attitudes became more veiled, even when Taoist Qinglian visited personally, he wasn't met in person, instead, Junior Brothers, Sisters, or young ones came forward to meet.

Faced with this, Taoist Qinglian didn't say much, said a few simple words before taking his leave.

On the road, he told Ji Jingqiu plainly:

"Actually, it's already considered not too bad."

Though he said so, Ji Jingqiu could still sense certain emotions behind the tone and expression of this figure.

Indeed.

"Not everyone can see the situation clearly and weigh its importance." Taoist Qinglian lightly supplemented.

This person hadn't yet left the territory of the last Saint Dojo they visited, yet he spoke openly, unafraid of that True Saint hearing.

Soon after.

They visited another dojo.

And this time, there were actually other guests at this true saint dojo that chose to avoid the world.

The True Saint of this house personally came out to welcome Taoist Qinglian, showing plenty of courtesy.

Upon hearing their purpose, he smiled at Ji Jingqiu standing behind Taoist Qinglian and said:

"In truth, I am also inclined to emerge, wavering between emerging and remaining secluded. Coincidentally, Taoist Friends from Heaven and Earth Mystic Sect and Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain are here for the same reason."

"How about this, let the juniors spar and exchange ideas, you know me, Brother, I value 'the future' above all."

Taoist Qinglian remained expressionless, saying indifferently, "Jing Qiu, go and learn their methods. Be careful not to accidentally kill someone."
