"Shitian, Donghuang, trust me one last time!"

Ji Tianxing said in a deep voice,

"All of this wasn't supposed to happen so soon. Ji Linyuan could have continued to grow for a while. With Ji Jingqiu attracting attention outside, no one would have noticed him, but Ji Jingqiu wasn't supposed to enter the Netherworld at this moment!"

"Entering the Netherworld, with a personality that combines yours, the possibility of him coming out, I don't even have a ten percent certainty!"

At this moment.

In Ji Tianxing's spirit world, a shadow abruptly intruded, manifesting here, it was none other than Mu Shitian.

He slowly spoke:

"I'm very curious, Tianxing, what exactly did you see back then that made you so stubborn, to forsake everything and side with Taiyi." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"What exactly is in the Netherworld that makes you so apprehensive?"

"...It's the Heavenly Court."

Ji Tianxing deeply looked into the eyes of the current "Mu Shitian".

To silently enter his Inner World, it seems the other party has already devoured Wuzhou's Dao Body, he suppressed his thoughts and continued to reveal a shocking rumor,

"The Netherworld is not only derived from the remnants of the Nether Mansion, but some areas also originate from the Heavenly Court, an ancient force that perished long before the rise of the Nether Mansion."

"Back then, the Lord of the Nether Mansion collected the remnants of realms from the world to open up the Netherworld, which included the remnants of the Heavenly Court."

"I told you back then, to convey to that Netherworld Lord, that he can never succeed down that path because the Netherworld is linked to the remnants of the Heavenly Court, and that Heavenly Emperor, who has awoken from slumber, will not let him succeed!"

"Heavenly Emperor?" Mu Shitian's eyes narrowed, "Was that person 'Heavenly Emperor' back then?"

In the past, when he reversed the flow, he visited the Five Divine Lords one by one and, due to the suspicion about their origins, traced the origin of this realm and inadvertently glimpsed a figure before the Five Divine Lords.

"The Nether Ruins Lineage's Netherworld originated from the old Heavenly Court? So it seems the Burial Sea did as well?"

Mu Shitian asked, then shook his head,

"But what of it? What is the connection to Jing Qiu not being able to come out? Even if it's full of danger inside, he still has the Saint King accompanying him, and there's Cangqing and the Netherworld Lord in the Netherworld."

"With protection from three Divine Lords, unless it's a transcendent force, who can harm them? Even if all saints attack, with those three's methods, there's more than enough to protect themselves."

"It's precisely because of those three that it's useless!" Ji Tianxing said resolutely, "The root of the Five Divine Lords is not in the Nether Mansion but in the Heavenly Court! They are the Divine Position manifestations of the Heavenly Court, powerless against that person, who was just hiding deliberately and never took things seriously before!"

Mu Shitian pondered, "Are you talking about the one in the Burial Sea?"

Ji Tianxing nodded, "That person is the most deeply hidden 'big figure' in the Netherworld, the root of all calamities in the Netherworld! The death of the Lord of the Nether Mansion back then was also related to him. My alliance with Taiyi is to deal with this person."

Mu Shitian slightly nodded, his expression betraying no emotion, he suddenly said:

"Actually, Donghuang and I are more curious about one thing—why are you so certain that Ji Jingqiu can never see the Other Shore again?"

Ji Tianxing was silent for a moment before he said:

"He was born knowledgeable, ranking high on the Other Shore before his birth, only to fall when he was born into this world, which is why Ji Linyuan can see the source of the Other Shore in him."

Mu Shitian's face turned serious:

"Is that true?"

Ji Tianxing nodded, at this point, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Crossing to the Other Shore is already extremely difficult.

Let alone voluntarily coming out from the Other Shore, and going back?

The Bitter Sea is boundless, turning back is the shore.

But there's no turning back from the Other Shore.

Mu Shitian suddenly looked relieved, certain questions that had always plagued him were all answered at this moment, and he couldn't help but murmur:

"So this is the World Venerable of today."

Just as Ji Tianxing was about to emphasize the difficulty of the one in the Burial Sea, Mu Shitian's figure gradually faded away.

Unseen, the spirit of He Donghuang also disappeared, as if returning to its original position, indifferent to his words, seeming not to care.

Ji Tianxing fell into silence.

The reason for collaborating with Taiyi is because Taiyi's All-Knowing Dao can perceive all things related to himself, as well as obscure corresponding information.

Even transcendence would struggle to trace the source from the void.

This secret about the Burial Sea and the Heavenly Court, he kept hidden from everyone for ten thousand years, using ten thousand years to plan, only to speak it aloud today, yet the reactions of Shitian and Donghuang were beyond his expectations.

"You... still won't believe me?" Ji Tianxing sighed softly.

And in response, there was only a Buddhist chant.

[Namo Amitabha]

Ji Tianxing, versed in the Daoist Collection of the Federation, well-versed in Buddhist Law and Daoist Skill, understood that this hymn praised the Infinite Light Buddha, the eternity of wisdom and life.

To devote to the Infinite Light Buddha.

To be reborn in Paradise.

Mu Shitian's words slowly fell:

"Tianxing, we have always trusted you unconditionally."

"But there's one thing, perhaps, you will never understand."

"What we pursue has never been the Other Shore, and naturally, Jing Qiu is the same as us."

"As for the one in the Burial Sea..."

Just hearing halfway, Ji Tianxing slowly raised his head, his heart shaken.

What does it mean their pursuit has never been the Other Shore?

The final words of Mu Shitian came through:

"We have our precautions."

...

...

Netherworld.

Since stepping onto this land, all saints gradually began to see things, that even with their vision, seemed difficult to understand.

A phantom of a boat sailed past their eyes, oddly shaped, yet seemingly crossing the Milky Way; there were also many formations that they couldn't comprehend, intermittently working, nearly causing the holy fall of a True Saint who curiously stepped foot; in addition, there were some light masses whose true forms were unclear, like a Divine Embryo, nurturing something extremely terrifying.
