Ji Jingqiu fell into thought.

Why was the entity of the Burial Sea so resistant, even angry, about his harmonization with the Nether Sea and awakening it?

Was it simply because his presence might disrupt the balance within the Netherworld, introducing uncontrollable factors into Master He's conflict?

He felt this entity absolutely wouldn't have such "high-mindedness."

Ji Jingqiu's gaze landed coldly on the three thousand Heart Fire Phoenix at the deepest part of the Nether Sea.

Whether his guess was correct or not, the right opportunity would reveal it, but now was not the perfect time.

"For now, ignore him," Ji Jingqiu spoke up. "Continue with our plan, first proceed to the Netherworld Soil. The clarity of the Nether Sea is temporary; during the time when All Living Beings Heart Lamp illuminates the Nether Sea, I am equivalent to harmonizing with part of the Nether Sea, which might be helpful for the journey to the Netherworld Soil."

The outcome of asking the world to light lamps had completely exceeded Ji Jingqiu's expectations.

He could sense that this was something the Nether Sea had always "hoped" for too.

Unfortunately, the clarity of the Nether Sea cannot last long; the heart lamps of the people will eventually grow dim.

Simply put—the lamps are not enough.

"Alright."

The Saint King responded decisively.

Once the problem of the Netherworld Soil was resolved, along with the Void Emperor outside, they would have four Divine Lords on their side, enough to uphold Daluo Heaven. At that time, the offense and defense could easily change places.

"I will pave the way!"

The Saint King raised his hand, causing Daluo Heaven to rumble!

Heavenly Divine Light illuminated the universe, actually prompting Daluo Heaven to open a road ahead.

Within the Daluo Thirty-Six Heavens, the thirty-fifth layer, second only to the Saint King, gathered the deities and demons of the Nether Ruins Lineage, bowing their heads and opening the way to the Netherworld Soil.

A colossal serpent's head came into view; it was the Nine Netherworld Snake of the Nether Ruins Lineage.

That vast serpent body became a bridge between the present world and the Netherworld Soil.

"I will pave the way for you!" The Saint King took the lead, paving the way for Ji Jingqiu. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

An imposing Dharma Form rose from the ground, standing shoulder to shoulder with the heavens, its Heavenly Divine Light boundless, its Dao Rhyme endless. When it erupted, even the omnipresent time and the Heavenly Destiny River trembled, actively making way for the Saint King.

Just this scene made all saints marvel at the depth of his Daoist skills!

Ji Jingqiu stepped forward, his figure finally appearing in the sight of all saints.

At this moment.

In the eyes of all saints, the mighty Saint King surprisingly paved the way ahead, followed by a youthful figure seemingly from immeasurable heights.

Behind the youth manifested a bright and clear halo, surrounded by the Heart Light reflecting from all beings.

Without looking at the saints, he walked straight on the path paved by the Saint King.

From start to finish, he didn't prepare to explain or prove anything to the various Transcendence Gates.

He just needed to do what he had to do; the message had already been sent out, and the true saints of the various gates would naturally follow close behind.

Just like on the Returning to Truth Road, he only needed to pave the way, the ancestors would just follow.

This posture, in the eyes of the saints, was undeniably the demeanor of looking around proudly, with an unmatched air, a lofty Daoist style, an invincible stature.

Because this was the one who had once suppressed all Ancestor Masters in the Heavenly King Domain, the Invincible!

"This is the World Venerable..."

Someone whispered, their eyes not straying for a moment, as if trying to deeply imprint this figure in their heart.

Today's upheaval far exceeded their imagination.

First, Xu Duo of the Heavenly Cutting Sect used the head of the Supreme True Saint of the Heavenly Prison Palace to seek merit from the one whose true form was yet unverified.

Then, the Nether Sea appeared in the posture of the former Holy Land, only to quickly incur the wrath of the mysterious entity within the Burial Sea—

All saints could clearly sense the boundless Dao Intent emanating from the Burial Sea, mixed with anger that made their hearts tremble!

Among the saints, like Tuo Hai and others, they glanced at Kong Ming with strange expressions.

This was also somewhat connected to Qian Wanqiu, rumored that buried within the Burial Sea in the Netherworld was Qian Wanqiu's Existence Trace...

And now, this one seemed to be at odds with Ji Jingqiu, and how should he place himself?

As they expected, Kong Ming now knit his brows tightly, gazing intently at the figure suspected to be the Ancestor Master, finding it momentarily hard to decide.

He came to visit the Netherworld because of the rumor that Luo Xuan had claimed this was the Existence Trace of his Ancestor Master.

But the problem is...

There are no records in his Dao Lineage documenting the Ancestor Master leaving an Existence Trace outside!

The Ancestor Master, as the Great Dao Ancestor, had the greatest Existence Trace in the "Dao" itself, in addition to the Void Realm, one of the Great Dao Ancestral Lands, where their Dao Lineage was located.

This was contradictory and did not match the records in the Dao Lineage.

Kong Ming came this time to find out the truth, unexpectedly encountering the "World Venerable" emerging in the Netherworld by accident.

His master and his uncle master had mentioned this person several times before, praising them greatly, even discussing with the Ancestor Master.

The Ancestor Master, back then, had decided to accompany all ancestors to the Returning to Truth Land, partly due to persuasion from his master.

Logically speaking, given the Ancestor Master's pursuit and acknowledgment of the "Dao," it shouldn't lead to such hostility towards this World Venerable.

And this anger...

Kong Ming shook his head; he hadn't seen the Ancestor Master angry since joining the sect.

This intense Dao Intent indeed had the Dao Rhyme of "Eternal History," but it wasn't enough to prove it was the Ancestor Master.

It should be known that this True Scripture had long spread throughout the Sea of Realms; the Ancestor Master, though "unapproachable," never prohibited the Dao, only assisted it, especially the Dao of all beings.

Truly bizarre.

He couldn't discern if the other was a remnant of the Ancestor Master, but instinctively felt something unusual.
