Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 968 - 351: Qingshan Taoist Friend, You’re Courting a Saint’s Demise

At the same time, the attitude of the old Deng from the Eternal Life Sect towards the people of Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain was not particularly good. He even thought he was leaning towards them.

Unexpectedly, even though he won with overwhelming victory, he ended up collapsing negotiations with the old Deng of Qinglian.

"Didn't he say he valued the 'future'?" Jing Qiu questioned, "Is this old Deng blind and can't see who the future really is?"

He couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "If I had known, I wouldn't have held back on the last strike; I would have killed him with one slash."

Taoist Qinglian was surprised, "Did you hold back on the last strike?"

Earlier, although Xuanqing's Taoist skills and divine powers were not quite perfect, the sheer power was infinitely close to the level of a Heavenly King.

He suddenly became interested in the two calamities of fire and wind that Jing Qiu had overcome earlier.

After becoming a Heavenly Person, the quality of Dao Power mainly depends on the Innate Dao Foundation, and the refinement of oneself through the Three Calamities and various forms of "polishing."

Time, Heavenly Medicine, Strange Lands...

The most important being time, which Jing Qiu has never touched.

"It's still someone else's home field, got to give some respect," Jing Qiu said.

Taoist Qinglian chuckled, "With Qingshan guarding, killing his disciple for sure has no chance; that's the key to his future path of transcendence, quite precious."

Jing Qiu curiously asked what that meant.

A disciple at Heavenly Person Perfection could still be pivotal to a True Saint's path to transcendence?

"An unverified path," Taoist Qinglian shook his head, "I didn't expect Qingshan to have such courage. You'll understand it if you have a chance in the future, but I won't tell you now to avoid affecting your future Dao choices."

He was about to lead Jing Qiu into the Void to leave when a familiar figure appeared in the distance.

Qinglian almost laughed in fury.

He was about to instruct Jing Qiu not to hold back and slash this fellow straight away, and then they could return to the Great Universe to see if this fellow dares come to settle the last debt.

As soon as he saw the figure ahead giving a salute and leaving.

"Quite a Ten Thousand Tribulations Daoist!"

Taoist Qinglian snorted coldly,

"After so many years, I should indeed view him differently!"

Jing Qiu sincerely said, "Among enemies of this person, if there's one exceptionally talented yet weak, fear they won't live to the time of ascent. Impressive."

"Next time you meet, don't hesitate to use the blade light Xuan Yi left you, just slash it away." Taoist Qinglian said angrily.

Jing Qiu nodded and then frowned, "Where do you and I go next?"

Perhaps the Ten Thousand Tribulations Daoist had already blocked their future path, going forward could be futile.

"No problem, just continue forward," Taoist Qinglian suddenly acted indifferent, "Actually, you and I are just bait."

"Bait?" Jing Qiu was stunned.

"The real chance for alliance has been entrusted to that kid from the Ji Family. And some elders from your Federation are mainly entrusted to the other two youngsters for contact."

"As for you, attracting so much attention, like me, naturally we're bait."

Taoist Qinglian stared into the distant Void, saying lightly, "Remember, the real schemes, those in the open, are always idle pawns, incapable of turning the tide."

Jing Qiu's mouth twitched.

This old Deng is really tight-lipped. Until now, he realized he was "bait."

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

He had been too "high-profile" in the past, already entering the sights of various parties.

Previously, in the Great Universe it was alright, but upon entering the Three Thousand Yanfutu, those True Saints, or those skilled in the Heavenly Mechanism Skill, had too many means to detect his general whereabouts, practically self-locating.

"Since they are unrighteous, I won't be polite then," Taoist Qinglian sneered, "Let's go, take you to pluck some wool."

Pluck wool?

Jing Qiu quickly caught up, asking for the specific meaning.

"Originally just wanted to catch up with some old friends, but times have changed, no one talks about old sentiments anymore."

Taoist Qinglian felt a bit sentimental:

"During the period ruled by the Five Pillars, there wasn't so much intrigue? Everyone supported each other, explored the path of life's ascension together, even occasional Gods passing by would join and give pointers."

"The reason I helped your Federation back then is because the atmosphere of your Federation in the early days, and that group of predecessors, were very similar to us in those days..."
