The sword light suddenly flickered and said: "Are you referring to the Phoenix King among the Transcenders? Why?"

"In the deepest part of the Nether Sea, absorbing the Five Poisons and Five Dirts of all living beings, is a True Phoenix." Ji Jingqiu stated bluntly, "If I remember correctly, this one is also one of the founders of This Shore."

The sword light fell silent, then slowly spoke: "The Phoenix King is an Innate Bird, the first True Phoenix to attain the Dao in the Sea of Realms. The path taken has nothing to do with the Divine Dao, not to mention being the Great Dao Ancestor. These two are unlikely to be the same person."

Ji Jingqiu nodded: "Let's proceed step by step. No wonder Cangqing God went and did not return. This place is no longer considered Netherworld Soil with the Heaven and Earth Flipping changes. Even I cannot sense the specific location of 'Ksitigarbha', only a vague sense."

His gaze fell toward the misty realm ahead, uncertain if Ksitigarbha was in that Heaven and Earth.

Facing the confusion of All Saints, Ji Jingqiu chose not to answer but muttered to himself:

"Which old confidant has returned?"

All Saints were horrified, another old monster?!

No wonder this one did not hesitate to reveal his identity, drawing them into the plot!

Is it to use their hands to clear Dao adversaries early?

In the scene, Tuo Hai seemed contemplative; it seems that not only the "World Venerable" has returned this epoch.

As long as it's not a single-family dominance situation, everything has options.

Ji Jingqiu actively moved forward, whispering: "Wonder if upon meeting again, it will be a joyful conversation over drinks, or a confrontation with weapons. If possible, I truly don't want to kill you all again..."

Kong Ming and others had solemn expressions, whereas led by Tuo Hai, the various Saints had slightly changed expressions, their hearts already stirred by a tsunami-like shock!

Kill again?!

Could it be that the era's fall a hundred epochs ago was caused by supreme beings engaging in a full-scale battle?

Thinking of this possibility, All Saints had serious expressions.

The Ancestor Masters of various families had once deduced the ultimate conclusion of "Unification", where the most likely scenario is that once an Ancestor Master breaks the deadlock and actively unifies Heaven and Earth, the remaining Ancestor Masters are forced to follow, ultimately only leaving Ancestor Masters in the universe, engaging in the final battle under the Dao's pull, until Heaven and Earth Unification and Primordial Rebirth!

"Has the same thing already played out?"

At this moment, a True Saint shuddered, as if having guessed the brutal truth a hundred epochs ago!

Once the Ancestor Masters start a full-scale war, all beings beneath Transcendence are mere cannon fodder, even True Saints are merely larger cannon fodder, possibly becoming priority hunting targets for Ancestor Masters of other Gates...

This brutal possibility plunged All Saints into silence.

"Returning to Truth..."

Ji Jingqiu watched the atmosphere reach the point and added a final spark, as if talking to himself,

"In the end, this is the end of everything. I hope this epoch, as I deduced, welcomes brand-new variables. As for old confidants from before... should they awaken again and repeat history."

Behind him, the Guardian Saint King felt sincerely cautious, thinking that in the future, anything from the World Venerable Lineage must not be lightly trusted, unless both sides still maintain the same position.

All Saints followed alongside Ji Jingqiu with heavy expressions.

Even Feng Ming and others were no exception, appearing worried, closely following.

Soon, they arrived in front of the misty realm, Ji Jingqiu could step into it in one step.

But he suddenly stopped.

Saint King transmitted: "Indeed, Netherworld Soil experienced Heaven and Earth Flipping changes, are you sure you want to enter?"

"Can you confirm one thing?" Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked, "Did the time of the drastic changes in Netherworld Soil align closely with when Void Emperor found the [Old Heavenly Court]?"

The aura of Saint King suddenly became ice-cold. Like a drawn divine edge, making previously burdened All Saints suddenly aware.

"...Cangqing indeed lost contact with me completely after that time frame." Saint King said in a deep voice, "Prior to that, the problem in Netherworld Soil originated from those Yin Souls!"

Ji Jingqiu nodded, this matched.

Before unexpectedly heading to Primordial Palace, he had remotely glanced at Ksitigarbha, and now...

"If behind this barrier is [Old Heavenly Court], then everything will come to light."

Ji Jingqiu finished his words and stepped past the barrier.

All Saints hadn't yet reacted to why this place connects to the [Old Heavenly Court]?

The latter is far in the Chaotic Sea, where now various families have powerful beings perched there, waiting for changes.

"Zheng——"

A sword-cry had just sounded and already sliced through Ji Jingqiu's Dao Body, cutting him in half at the waist!

So fast that even Saint King couldn't react in time, nor had it been discerned where this sword originated!

As if the moment it drew was to slice open the gap between the present and future, letting death arrive first.

"Damn it!"

Kong Ming and Feng Ming became instantly furious, stepping into the boundary membrane before discovering this sword came from a height of a...

God-slaying Platform!

"Silence."

Ji Jingqiu's voice came unhurried.

Saint King frowned: "This sword didn't injure you? Is it Nether Sea?"

This sword isn't just fast, but extremely formidable. Even if he intercepted this sword unpreparedly, he wouldn't dare say he was unscathed.

Ji Jingqiu looked towards the high-altitude God-slaying Platform.

A Divine Sword hung suspended, seemingly the center of this place, everything around it drawn in, condensed, with a grand intonation suppressing all laws.

Upon entering this Heaven and Earth, he felt a deep repulsion, a targeting.

At that moment, if Ji Jingqiu were Heavenly Venerable, he would have already perished completely, but he was now integrated with the Nether Sea. As long as the Nether Sea endures, his Dao won't perish.

At this point, the God-slaying Platform's Divine Sword buzzed, lightly trembling, and another sword was released!

This time, All Saints saw the trajectory clearly, yet felt even more fear, some even shivered seeing the vision reflected in their pupils of themselves pierced through the throat.

This sword, once drawn it's certain to hit, even faster beyond measure, unstoppable!

And the one chosen, Ji Jingqiu...

In a moment, Saint King acted yet failed to block this strike, as if "passing by", yet it was destined.

Tuo Hai showed anticipation, if the World Venerable could die here, it'd be the best possible outcome!

"Similar to Taoist Friend Miaofa's [Instant Shadow Splitting Light Sword Spirit], but upon closer examination, completely different——"

Kong Ming beside him twitched, witnessing Ji Jingqiu disintegrate and restructure once more, yet this one seemed utterly unconcerned, still having time to annotate.

"God-slaying Platform?" Saint King focused, speaking slowly, "In terms of power alone, it's not just a title."

Ji Jingqiu looked at Kong Ming: "Did you bring a sword?"

The Nether Sea was gradually reverting to its submerged state.

He must deeply grasp a group of loyal followers before this.

Kong Ming hesitated, and upon realizing something, he became emotional on the spot, hurriedly taking out his Lifebound Holy Artifact, which was a short sword.

Ji Jingqiu took the short sword, and at this moment, everyone seemingly heard the sound of the tide rolling, majestic force penetrating the void, pouring into Ji Jingqiu, supporting him as he slashed this sword.

At infinite heights, the Divine Sword emitted its third buzz, seemingly not stopping until the enemy is vanquished.

The Position of the Nether Sea applied to Ji Jingqiu, elevating his perspective instantaneously to the highest possible level, in some sense, this was a transcendent view!

Thousands of Daos were analyzed in his eyes into their most fundamental form, easily grasped.

He also caught the true trajectory of this thread of sword light.

It was as if severing the veins of the Time River, creating a fissure between the present and future, this sword light horizontal through this gap.

Ji Jingqiu acted, the short sword in his sleeve seemed only to slightly move, aside from Kong Ming none saw Ji Jingqiu's strike, this sword seemed to lack "process", yet struck the sword light's thinnest point in the fracture, as if similarly...

Destined!

Two threads of sword light clashed, erupting vast Dao Rhyme waves!

Yet the sword light Ji Jingqiu slashed suddenly split into three thousand, slicing towards the God-slaying Platform from various nodes!

This sword is the sword of transcendence, [Instant Shadow Splitting Light Sword Spirit].

"I only learned four to five parts of Taoist Friend Miaofa's profoundness"

Ji Jingqiu put away the short sword, handing it back to Kong Ming.

Kong Ming forcibly suppressed his heart's tumult, respectfully said: "Young as I am, I've not seen the three thousand sword lights for a long time, thank you World Venerable Elder for passing the teachings."

"For your teacher's sake."

Ji Jingqiu said casually, then stepped towards the God-slaying Platform.
