The conversation gradually shifted to This Shore.

This time, they took the initiative to strike, capturing nearly ten individuals from This Shore, among whom were even scions from various families.

Yuan Ying coldly stared at a man who had revealed his true form, silently, and shouted sternly:

"When have the Ancestor Master and the Gate ever wronged you?"

The latter remained silent throughout, and if not restrained, there was a possibility of self-destruction.

Shou Ji took his leave:

"Ji, we need to escort these people back to the Gate for interrogation and hold their respective Gates accountable. We will compile a detailed report and send it to the Primordial Palace later."

"Farewell, Senior, I look forward to your true form's return."

The Sword Light snorted coldly, without responding.

True form's return?

That inevitably means having a confrontation with the one in the Pantheon.

Perhaps on the Returning to Truth Road, a clash has already occurred.

Ji Jingqiu bid farewell to everyone and joined forces with the reinforcements from the Primordial Palace.

The Primordial Palace didn't send just one Feng Ming this time.

Now, the number of True Saints in the Palace is scarce, with none having returned, yet they still sent three.

Aside from Feng Ming, the other two True Saint brothers and sisters, one with the title [Yin An], is extremely adept at Void escape skills; the other titled [Konghai], is skilled in combat like Feng Ming.

Two in combat, one in escape skills, the meaning from the Primordial Palace is quite clear: if they can't beat them, just flee.

According to Feng Ming, the Palace isn't stopping him from returning to the Netherworld. They will intervene appropriately, but will never fight fiercely when hope is unseen.

"Among the forces besieging the Netherworld, the strongest are the [Heavenly Cutting Sect], [Star Sky Tower], and [Returning to Truth Temple]…"

Upon hearing the first name [Heavenly Cutting Sect], Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but glance at the Sword Light.

The Ancestor Master of the [Heavenly Cutting Sect] was the one with whom Cang Jian had some disagreements on the Returning to Truth Road, that Yu Hua Ancestor Master.

Nowadays, [Human World Pavilion] has been incorporated into the Pantheon, while [Heavenly Cutting Sect]'s situation is worse, with their foundation taken over by others.

The Sword Light shimmered, acting as if it hadn't felt Ji Jingqiu's gaze.

"No need to worry too much, Ji. Even if the Netherworld is breached, we can guarantee the Yanhuang Federation remains unharmed." Yin An True Saint spoke.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, sighing: "The annihilation of the Netherworld doesn't matter, but the Federation cannot be abandoned, relocating is useless, because it suppresses the Eye of Sea of Suffering."

Everyone's brows jumped sharply, their expressions changing dramatically.

The Eye of Sea of Suffering?!

Ji's homeland is hiding such a "natural disaster"?!

This thing hasn't surfaced for many years, long enough to exist only in legend.

Even these True Saints, who have lived for centuries, have never seen the "weight" of the Sea of Suffering!

"Once the Sea of Suffering erupts, the destruction of the Netherworld is secondary, it may very likely spread outwards from the Netherworld, affecting the Sea of Realms in all directions."

Ji Jingqiu paused, saying solemnly,

"I heard that This Shore's target is the [Sea of Suffering], and I suspect there's support from This Shore behind these forces!"

Yin An True Saint raised an eyebrow: "That's actually good news. On the way here, I got to understand the pattern of the Sea of Realms over the years. If This Shore is indeed involved, this war won't be just between the Netherworld and those forces."

Ji Jingqiu quickly understood what he meant.

If This Shore is really behind the scenes, attempting to "liberate" the Eye of Sea of Suffering, then the Netherworld war would escalate to a conflict between various Transcendence Gates and This Shore!

"I'm not planning to go back for now." Ji Jingqiu made a decision, "I need to seclude myself for a period."

Feng Ming nodded: "A wise choice, the war between these mighty entities isn't one a Heavenly Venerable can be involved in. Ji is a prodigy, it's natural to take the time to settle down."

Luo Shi and Wu Tian hadn't told Feng Ming about Ji Jingqiu's potential identity, but did inform him that Ji Jingqiu overcame the Ancestor Master of the same realm when young.

Yin An True Saint spoke: "Ji, just calmly seclude yourself. The war over the border isn't a matter of a day or two; I'll look into the specifics."

"I'm counting on you, Senior Brother."

After making his decision, Ji Jingqiu returned to the Void Realm.

Having recently become a Heavenly Venerable, he needed to sort out the various anomalies he witnessed during his breakthrough.

"Are you going to digest the Divine Weapon Spirit next?" The Sword Light said casually, "If you have time, I can teach you the remaining complete sword forms."

Ji Jingqiu was cautious, knowing this guy was up to something.

Then connecting this with the thought that he might have remembered those old matters from the Returning to Truth Road…

Ji Jingqiu immediately sighed: "Once a brother, forever a brother."

"What are you talking about?" The Sword Light seemed quite surprised and asked.

Ji Jingqiu curled his lips: "Nothing, just a little emotional. You can keep those sword forms to yourself for now. I'll be quite busy soon, not only digesting the Divine Weapon Spirit but also harmonizing the Inner Universe and developing Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water."

The Sword Light couldn't help but say: "Your time is so precious, how many things can you accomplish in one go?"

"My Inner Universe foundation has already reached the point, so developing Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water isn't a big issue."

"This return to the Netherworld might involve a bloody battle, so I need to establish myself in the Heavenly Venerate Domain as soon as possible; then I'll be more confident when flipping the table with others."

As they spoke, Ji Jingqiu used the Divine Weapon Spirit as a guide, locking onto the River of Destiny in the depth, and stepping into the waters, feeling the gentle flow of water around his ankles.

Destiny is a very peculiar existence, the blessings gathered from all beings in Heaven and Earth, condensed into a river, swaying slightly can stir countless lives.

Ji Jingqiu drew the Green Master, his fingertips brushing over the knife's outline, a soft chant was heard, originating from the Green Master itself, also from the Divine Weapon Spirit, the echo of Destiny.

Following the blade's craving, he used the rush of Destiny River's waters to refine the knife's edge.
