Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 1327 - 468: Old Heavenly Court Strikes First (Part 3)
Po Xu said faintly: "A bunch of sewer rats, a group of people hiding their heads, even if they now occupy the dominant position, these people still dare not come to the light, and only a few are exposed."
Jing Qiu looked serious, not expecting the power of [This Shore] to be so vast.
But with such power, why would they still "hide their heads"? Is it Po Xu's prejudice, or is there something else?
Perhaps seeing Jing Qiu's doubt, Po Xu proactively began to explain:
"Taoist Friend Ji might not know, [This Shore] has their people embedded in many gates, and the actual core of this organization is suspected to be disciples from every family, making it very hard to eradicate. The only ones in the open are the three Invincibles." π³πΏππππ²ππ»ππππ₯.ππ π
"What is an Invincible?"
"Below transcendence, overwhelming the True Saint Domain, [This Shore] has three such individuals: the first with the Dao name Red Lotus, the second self-proclaimed Heavenly Emperor, and the third is the rumored Master of Four Demons."
Jing Qiu's gaze tightened: "Master of Four Demons?!"
In the Inner World.
Hel raised her head, sneering: "When did I gain another teacher?"
Wuzhou furrowed his brows, then displayed a cold expression, seemingly having guessed the answer.
Po Xu slowly said: "It's rumored that in years past, the Four Demons were all guided by this person, ultimately destroying their realms and escaping into the Nether Sea."
Jing Qiu's gaze tightened, while in his heart, he questioned the two, but to no avail.
The two's gazes were extremely cold, clearly understanding who Po Xu was talking about.
"What's the situation with the internal traitors of each gate?"
Jing Qiu continued his inquiry, finding it difficult to understand what it meant by [This Shore]'s core members being disciples from all families?!
In the Transcendence Gate, how could internal traitors be inserted, and can't the True Saints detect them?
Or could it be... they can insert True Saint level traitors?!
Yuan Ying said cryptically: "[This Shore] tempts them with the path of transcendence."
Jing Qiu, startled, still couldn't understand.
Tempted by the path of transcendence, no wonder even True Saints could become traitors.
But these people all hail from the Transcendence Gate, is it that the gate has no suitable methods of transcendence, or is the future promised by [This Shore] too radiant, making them betray their gates without hesitation?
The scene became somewhat silent.
Jing Qiu was shocked by the composition of [This Shore]'s power.
He never imagined that [This Shore] would exist in the Sea of Realms in such a manner, rampant for many years.
Thankfully, the Primordial Palace has been secluded for many years, probably having no interactions with [This Shore] yet.
Jing Qiu spoke again: "No wonder, I previously encountered a member of [This Shore] resembling a member of [Heavenly Prison Palace]. I thought the other party was deliberately impersonating, now it seemsβ¦"
He shook his head.
Po Xu looked displeased and said: "The [Heavenly Prison Palace], noble as the Great Dao Ancestral Land, even has people from [This Shore] implanted?"
"What is [This Shore]'s aim, after all?" Jing Qiu asked, "I heard that not long ago, the destruction of Chaohua Realm was related to [This Shore]."
The three exchanged a glance, Yuan Ying slowly said:
"As far as we know, one of their goals is to sever all paths for Ancestor Masters to return, and secondly to find the path to transcendence."
"They believe that the reason there are fewer and fewer Transcenders in later generations is because the Ancestor Masters occupy the intangible 'position' in Heaven and Earth. Only by severing all connections between the Ancestor Masters and the Sea of Realms can the 'position' in the Sea of Realms be restored."
Jing Qiu stood silent for a moment, closed his eyes, checked his own Karma Net, and said:
"Everyone, I've found the approximate location of [This Shore] in the Void Realm, one of them likely associated with [Heavenly Prison Palace], do you want to strike together?"
Po Xu said solemnly: "Give me some time, I'll notify a few fellow brothers! This time, we must capture that [Heavenly Prison Palace] member, send them to [Heavenly Prison Palace], let those high-and-mighty guys take a look!"
Yuan Ying calmly said:
"[Heavenly Prison Palace] is used to being high and untouchable, after all, it is the Great Dao Ancestral Land, and even the gates of various families do not think much of it."
"Capturing that person and sending them, even if true, [Heavenly Prison Palace] won't admit it, but might rather shift the blame, so directly annihilating would be the cleanest solution."
"Taoist Friend Ji, give us some time to gather our fellow disciples."
"Alright!" Jing Qiu agreed in one breath, successfully consolidating the front line, and also gaining a better understanding of [This Shore]'s true form.
This forceβ¦
Was completely different from his initial imagination.
It could be called a traitorous alliance, no wonder the strength of each family's Transcendence Gate couldn't eradicate it immediately.
The problem doesn't come from outside, but from within!
Ultimately, it was only the Heavenly Sound Taoist from Duobao Pavilion who didn't participate. Coming from Duobao Pavilion, the Ancestor Master had never participated in any conflicts while alive, and after leaving, Duobao Pavilion maintained permanent neutrality.
Jing Qiu shook his head and said: "Brother Tianyin, since the Ancestor Master of your pavilion chose the path, joined the journey on the Returning to Truth Road, yet remains neutral?"
The Heavenly Sound Taoist apologized: "Sorry, Brother Ji. Even though the Ancestor Master took the path, it was for the myriad beings of the Sea of Realms, not involving in internal conflicts of the Sea of Realms."
Po Xu and Yuan Ying shook their heads beside, they very much agreed with Jing Qiu's stance.
In these years, [This Shore] indeed hasn't targeted Duobao Pavilion, but once the various gates led by the Pantheon collapse, could Duobao Pavilion be spared?
The ones that bunch wants to destroy are the return paths of all Ancestor Masters!
Jing Qiu didn't say more, he had met that Duobao Taoist on the Returning to Truth Road, who indeed disliked fighting, a trait successfully passed down to his disciples.
After agreeing on a meeting spot with the two, he also returned to Qingping Mountain, found Shou Ji, and expressed his goal.
Shou Ji almost didn't hesitate, confirming Jing Qiu had recently ascended to Heavenly Venerate, and agreed at once, turning to notify the others.
Jing Qiu, through the Karma Net, locked onto the two who had hunted him shortly before.
In the Karma Net he initially saw, he sensed signs of mortal danger and great fortune.
With his current strength, he could flee if he couldn't win, yet felt the mortal danger, indicating the opposite side now was by no means just the previous two.
Thankfully.
As one by one, fellow Taoist friends gathered, unified the front, took the initiative, and crusaded against people of [This Shore], Jing Qiu again explored fate through the Way of Cause and Effect, now facing no ripples, as if a pool of dead water.
The future of the other side has become dead water.
