Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 975 - 354: The Great Calamity Approaches, Blade Severing Dao Yi

East Three Bright Star.

"Senior Sister Huang isn't planning to retreat yet?" Hua Jiujie asked while swirling his wine glass.

Huang Zhiyan glanced at him, dressed in flamboyant clothes, with both earrings and nose rings, hardly resembling a distinguished disciple of Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain, and sarcastically said:

"If you return like this, won't your master beat you to death?"

Hua Jiujie said indifferently, "I've already become a Heavenly Person, and if I can't do as I please, what's the point of being a Heavenly Person? Besides, my master is too busy offending Taoist Friend Ji lately to care about me."

"What do you mean?" Huang Zhiyan's gaze sharpened.

She had also heard some rumors recently, and the sect had ordered her to return as soon as possible and not to linger in the Yanhuang Federation.

In fact, it wasn't just their Phoenix Blood Palace.

Recently, the undercurrents within the Federation have become more intense, everyone with different goals, a true "pursuit of personal paths."

"Exactly as it sounds," Hua Jiujie sighed. "After I got wind of it, I decided to make my escape. If I don't, and Taoist Friend Ji returns, even as a law-abiding citizen, I fear I'll suffer."

"In this catastrophe, will Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain make a move?" Huang Zhiyan got straight to the point.

Hua Jiujie asked in surprise, "Hasn't your Phoenix Blood Palace received any instructions?"

"I only received orders to retreat!"

"Wow! I'm envious, Senior Sister Huang."

Hua Jiujie lamented bitterly,

"You have no idea, the higher-ups are all mad, ordering chaos within the Federation, like annihilating a few planets, to push the Spirit Ocean to retaliate!"

"And they don't look for Death Warriors for this work, but target core Heavenly Prides of the dojo like me; it's blatantly suppressing our Dao Lineage."

Huang Zhiyan's gaze grew grave, "Is Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain choosing to stand against the Federation this time?"

Hua Jiujie sighed, "You got it wrong; it's the Federation that's choosing to stand against our True Saint Dojo alliance."

Huang Zhiyan's expression turned grim, comprehending the deeper meaning.

Once True Saint Dojo families unite, anyone in their way becomes an obstacle.

"Madness..." Huang Zhiyan murmured, "How many True Saint Dojos have united this time? When was the last time this happened?"

Based on the sect's attitude, their Phoenix Blood Palace seemed uninvolved in this "alliance."

The previous All Saints covenant merely warned against the Yanhuang Federation becoming the birthplace of the Four Demons.

But now...

What happened during this time, driving those True Saints to lay the Yanhuang Federation on the "table"?!

Aren't they afraid the Federation might self-destruct, siding with the Four Demons, voluntarily paving the way for their Descent?!

Especially that one called 01, once rooted in the Great Universe, not even All Saints together could necessarily clear them!

"The last time All Saints united was during the Four Demons' second invasion."

Hua Jiujie reminisced,

"This time isn't as large-scale as then, but it's not small either; as far as I know, Heaven and Earth Mystic Sect, Yin Yang Dao Palace, Dodd Palace, Yaochi Fairyland... have all participated."

With each name he uttered, Huang Zhiyan's heart skipped a beat.

Each name represented a colossal entity, and now, these giants had united.

Even at Yanhuang Federation's peak glory, it merely had two True Saints simultaneously, what could they use to contend against this force?

Not to mention they were still facing the Four Demons' invasion.

"They've gone mad," Huang Zhiyan whispered, "The Yanhuang Federation is still resisting the Four Demons, how could they choose to attack now?"

"Truth be told, Senior Sister Huang, not long ago, some Federation natives approached me, presenting ancestral legacies, attempting to migrate through the Heavenly Road."

Hua Jiujie said calmly,

"That's quite telling; anxiety is rife within the Federation, it's hard to say someone isn't stirring things from behind."

Huang Zhiyan had heard rumors as well.

Federation natives were trying every method to migrate and collaborate with certain forces, even offering their legacies and treasures.

There were also Martial Artists of the Three Thousand Yanfu trying to "bet" everything, risking their lives...

During this period, although many Martial Artists from the myriad worlds retreated, more poured in, and at a glance, it was evident these forces were ready to make a move.

The Federation's situation grew increasingly chaotic with their interference.

"Just last night."

Hua Jiujie whispered,

"That Void Giant Beast from the Federation acted, severing the Void around the Heavenly Road, leaving only the main exit, while its tail killed off a batch of Martial Artists from various worlds. This morning, Martial Artists of the same faction sought recompense from the Federation officials, only to be captured."

"Tensions are high."

"The Yanhuang Federation isn't soft, even facing impending doom, they still won't yield."

"For Martial Artists like me from Ten Thousand Tribulations Mountain, we're already preparing to find a hole to hide in, avoiding collateral damage."

Listening to Hua Jiujie's grievances, Huang Zhiyan didn't have time to sympathize; she only wanted to contact the palace to inquire about the current situation.

...

...

The Ke family.

Ke Tianjin sat across from his old friend Bai Yuan, who came from the Holy Temple.

"Old Ke, rest assured, our Holy Temple ancestors will also intervene this time. I've been instructed to lend you a hand when necessary."

"Thank you for your generosity!" Ke Tianjin said solemnly.

"It's the ancestors' decision." Bai Yuan sighed gently, "But the situation remains grim; there are too many forces on your opposing side this time."

Ke Tianjin said nothing, his demeanor unchanged.

Suddenly curious, Bai Yuan asked, "What trump card does the Federation hold, that makes Brother Dao still confident in surviving this catastrophe?"

Ke Tianjin remained silent for a moment.

With the impending catastrophe, many troubles had arisen inside the Federation, various chaos frequent occurrences, needing to summon Snow Ancestor from the Meng Family to resolve.
