Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 1385 - 489: Evil Karma of the Five Poisons, Evil World of the Five Dirts
In the past, when Ji Jingqiu attained the Dao Ancestor, he once severed his Wisdom Light and severed his Innate Divine Power, bestowing them upon the world, and upon the Nether Sea.
Today, the countless Heart Lamps that have long taken root and sprouted in the Emperor Heaven Nine States illuminate in response to the World Venerable's call.
With one lamp lighting many, ultimately achieving the vision of ten thousand lamps all bright, this scene now unfolds before All Saints' eyes.
In an instant—
It was as if countless pure white Brahma Flowers bloomed in succession.
The flowers bloom in the Nether Sea!
In each Heart Lamp that lit up, it seemed as if a wisp of immortal divinity danced.
The flickering flames of the lamps emitted a brilliant Heart Light that crossed the long night and the void, illuminating the boundless Nether Sea.
This light was so dazzling, so immensely grand, it was like a majestic, gentle spring breeze brushing across the mountains and Heaven and Earth, like the morning sun rising over the water, brimming and flowing with vibrant vitality.
This was the "Nether Sea" in the eyes of all beings in the Netherworld, and All Saints.
Just like the sacred land of the past, celebrated across the Sea of Realms, longed for by countless beings, yet difficult to visit!
"Elder Kong Ming, you just mentioned the 'Holy Land Nether Sea,' what does this mean?"
"Is this the original appearance of the Nether Sea from those years?! But wasn't the Nether Sea long corrupted by the Bitter Sea?"
"Hmm?! The information left by my Ancestor Master clearly records that this ancient Pure Land of many worlds, this sacred land of the Sea of Realms, was actually corrupted by the enemy of the Netherworld Lord!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Then who is the enemy of the Netherworld Lord?" someone questioned, "Don't forget, even the Yuanshen Sect was involved in the forces that besieged the Nether Mansion back then!"
"According to my Ancestor Master's notes, it was creatures from the Returning to Truth Land who corrupted it, forcing the Netherworld Lord to abandon the Nether Sea—"
For a moment, the low whispers of discussion among All Saints were endless.
"The past scene of the Nether Sea reappearing, is it also the work of that one?"
Someone suddenly asked the crucial question.
All Saints fell silent, realizing that this was the only explanation, given that it happened at this moment, coinciding with that one's appearance in the world.
At this moment, among most of the existences of All Saints, there was no longer interest in seeking out the identity of this one, for their hearts had already silently accepted it, their thoughts submerged in this Nether Sea.
Even for them, it was by the fortune of this one that they were able to witness, for the first time in this life, the original sacred form of the Nether Sea!
It is said that the Netherworld Lord attained the Dao right here in this place in the past!
…
Ji Jingqiu lowered his gaze.
In the eyes of the world, the Nether Sea seemed to have been cleansed of all impurities, the once turbid and wicked sea becoming clear and luminous.
Like an autumn torrent, like a bright mirror, without any impurity.
Everyone could see their True Self nature reflected within.
Yet in Ji Jingqiu's eyes, this boundless, clear, and luminous sea was truly colorful, even bizarre and magnificent.
Here it reflected the hearts of all beings, endless Spirit reflections interwoven and floating in the Nether Sea, with various strange phenomena either occupying one region or each wandering.
The brilliant Heart Light recklessly radiating, shining brighter than the Group Stars.
And in the deepest part, Ji Jingqiu saw…
The five poisons of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt.
The five dirts of disaster, appearance, vexation, beings, and life.
Some resembled a raging sea of fury, dark and ominous clouds surging, condensation of wicked aura, roaring and tearing like fierce beasts;
Some like an enchanting mist, the seven emotions interwoven into a colorful glow, gathering and dispersing, drifting uncertainly;
Some like a deep pool of still water, silent and waveless, yet hiding myriad obsessions, entangled like heavy chains, hard to awaken from;
Some like a molten lava hell, fiercely hot and violent like a crimson Flood Dragon…
The five poisons and five dirts were like ten evil dragons, winding serpentine and sinister, stirring the turbid waves in the depths.
Is this the true nature of the Nether Sea?
This sea is like a mirror, reflecting the minds of all beings.
Ji Jingqiu suddenly remembered the dispute among the Seven Marshals from years ago.
Among the Seven Marshals, some believed that with the emergence of the Spirit Ocean, the human heart would inevitably decline, and by then without external forces, the Federation would collapse on its own accord.
And now it seems, perhaps it should be reversed, as the human heart declines, the Nether Sea will also move toward another extreme, no longer clear.
Ji Jingqiu recalled, he had once witnessed in the western part of the Federation the so-called spiritual disaster—a large-scale chaos, the negative direction of the spirit would cause the Spirit Ocean to respond.
Even ordinary people with no cultivation, when dying in large numbers over a short period, the resulting spiritual hazard could cause even a Heavenly Person to fall!
And this was merely in the small area of the Federation's west.
What if it were an entire Realm?
Thinking as such, Ji Jingqiu exhaled lightly.
Underneath the seemingly calm sea surface, surged the five poisons and five dirts of the world's people.
The five poisons' evil actions, the five dirts' evil world.
So this is the origin of the Gods Tomb.
The Nether Sea has always been responding to the helpless beings who have no resistance before the supreme powers.
And those who killed the gods, were the sins committed by the gods.
Suddenly.
As Ji Jingqiu gradually approached the truth of the deepest part of the Nether Sea, he heard a phoenix cry, filled with sinister malice, originating from the bottom of the sea.
Following the sound, he saw a phoenix formed of Heart Fire, surrounded by three thousand heart flames, as its wings brushed past, the evil waves turned into a lotus platform, the five poisons and five dirts followed, entrenched in the depths of the Nether Sea, coldly gazing at Ji Jingqiu.
Ji Jingqiu returned the cold gaze, for now, he finally approached the "truth" of the deepest part of the Nether Sea.
Suddenly, Ji Jingqiu looked up, gazing into the distance, the stirring within the Burial Sea was once again "eager to move."
Or rather carrying immense fury, repeatedly provoking a certain someone—
Yet at this moment, Ji Jingqiu was not afraid at all, even greatly anticipating the descent of this one.
The Saint King stood behind him.
Outside Daluo Heaven, there were All Saints of various factions.
"He dare not come out for now." The Saint King stood behind Ji Jingqiu, transmitting the voice, "The Great Universe's Heavenly Will has fully awakened, watching over the Burial Sea, unless absolutely necessary, he won't risk being targeted by me and the Great Universe's Heavenly Will by coming out of the Burial Sea."
