"You should ask that former master of the Netherworld," Wuzhou said. "Once things here are settled, return to the Netherworld and ask your good master."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked, "Of the three Invincible Ones on This Shore, one is called the Master of Four Demons. What is his background?"

"You should have guessed it," Wuzhou said calmly. "It was he who led me onto the path of realizing that all beings are 'one'."

Ever since Ji Jingqiu heard the concept of "Returning to Truth," he had become very interested in Wuzhou's path.

The path of Wuzhou is that all beings are one.

He can become infinite yet also unify into one.

Isn't this in line with the meaning of Returning to Truth?

But in the end, with Wuzhou's abilities, he still failed to break through to the Transcendence Domain.

To say that Wuzhou lacked talent is impossible; it can only be that this path has flaws.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly said, "Is he using you all to experiment with different new paths?"

He suddenly understood the purpose of This Shore.

Sword Light had mentioned it. Nowadays, the Dao is easier, the world has 'changed,' and the methods of transcendence from the past no longer work in the present.

These people should be searching for and experimenting with methods that can truly break through to transcendence!

For instance, in the Chaohua Realm of the past, This Shore forced Chao Ge onto a path of forced breakthrough.

At the same time, they might also be preemptively eliminating potential competitors.

Wuzhou said calmly, "Master of Four Demons, utterly absurd. The four of us rarely stand on the same side, but in killing those who mislead our Dao, we were remarkably united."

"In those years, which of you four had the confidence to defeat him?" Ji Jingqiu inquired, curious about the level of these so-called Invincible Ones.

As for the Four Demons, those who can hide in the Nether Sea and wander through the worlds are definitely powerful, even looking across the Sea of Realms. He already knew this.

Wuzhou thought for a moment and shook his head:

"Not on the same level. He had already harmonized through some unknown means, entered a pseudo-transcendence level, and even leaving the Harmonization Realm, he still possesses half-step transcendence strength, surpassing all True Saints."

"To confront such a being, one must either harmonize with a realm and permanently stay on home ground or possess a Transcendent Divine Weapon bestowed by a Transcender, like the Time River controlled by He Donghuang."

"Similarly, by holding the Nether Sea, I will not fear him."

Ji Jingqiu understood that the reason the Pantheon-led forces could contend with This Shore is likely due to mastering these kinds of methods.

But in the end, a Divine Weapon is just a weapon, incomparable to the power you command yourself, and it comes with many limitations.

In the battle against the Federation, Master He descended upon the present. It is unknown how much power he borrowed from the Time River.

"Those three are left to you. Interrogate them quickly for results. I want to know everything about This Shore and Red Lotus," Ji Jingqiu instructed one last time, shifting his focus back to the River of Destiny.

A kind of indescribable thrill came along the hilt of the sword he was holding.

In the River of Destiny, time does not pass. It is unknown how long the Green Master was tempered, and in the torrent of the river, the outline of the blade transformed into a breathtakingly cold gleam.

Within it, there is a cold and fierce intention that seems to cut through fate and tear apart karma, as if it could cleave all "certainties."

Its existence itself is the greatest variable.

Ji Jingqiu gently caressed the blade. The Divine Weapon Spirit had already half-integrated into the Green Master, elevating this Heavenly King-level Divine Weapon to the level of a Dao Ancestor, very close to the True Saint level!

Although it temporarily fell short of Uncle Master Qin's Tribulation Weapon, Heavenly Blade, surpassing it is only a matter of time.

Back then, after undergoing Karmic Fire tempering, the Green Master already showed some signs of becoming a Tribulation Weapon. Now, after being tempered by the River of Destiny in the Void Realm, who knows how intense that sign has become.

A so-called Tribulation Weapon possesses the immortal qualities of not fearing the wear of the two rivers, time, and destiny.

Ji Jingqiu pondered, with his current Daoist skills, he should have the ability to contact Master He during his return to the Netherworld.

By then, using the "Time River" of the Netherworld as a whetstone may allow him to smoothly overcome the threshold of the Tribulation Weapon.

Even if it doesn't work, once the Divine Weapon Spirit is fully integrated, the Green Master can ascend to the level of half-step Returning to Truth.

"On the way back to the Netherworld, I should be able to break through to the True Saint level..."

Ji Jingqiu gripped the hilt tightly, feeling the cold, heavy, and real touch.

The long blade glowed with a deep light, containing boundless Dao Rhyme left by the torrent of fate.

He slowly raised the sword and in his own harmonized Inner Universe, struck the first blow after the transformation of the Green Master.

This strike was to reopen the Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water!
