"Not long ago, Doumu released some news..."

Doumu?

Luo Xuan’s gaze flickered, was that female Heavenly Emperor called Doumu?

These two indeed know each other!

"The Heavenly Court will select three from the entire Sea of Realms to jointly withstand the great calamity and inherit the positions of the Five Directions and Five Emperors of the Heavenly Court, all attaining the Great Dao Ancestor Fruit Position. Do you have any thoughts?"

Luo Xuan suddenly locked onto Ji Jingqiu, what does he mean?

Moreover, that one actually spread this message throughout the entire Sea of Realms; what is he trying to do, cause a stir in the Sea of Realms?!

"Crazy woman." Luo Xuan cursed in a low voice, "Does she want to ignite a chaotic era in the Sea of Realms?"

Ji Jingqiu looked at him strangely and said:

"If I remember correctly, you are still one of the three leaders of ’This Shore,’ so you are the least qualified person in this world to evaluate Doumu like that."

Luo Xuan snorted coldly, "Our needs differ, cannot be generalized."

"For example?" Ji Jingqiu tried to lead Luo Xuan to reveal more inside information about ’This Shore.’

But Luo Xuan did not fall for it, evading the topic by saying, "I have also joined the ’Heavenly Court,’ and I must ask for more care from World Venerable seniors."

Ji Jingqiu glanced sideways at him, saying, "If I were your brother, I would probably want to beat you to death."

Luo Xuan smiled slightly, saying, "You’re right, senior."

"Has he always been like this?" Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked.

Before anyone knew whom he was asking about, a wisp of Sword Light dazzled, illuminating Heaven and Earth, and Luo Xuan’s smile instantly vanished.

"A rascal, completely unlike his brother. Back in the day, we joked that these two brothers were not blood-related."

The Moon-cutting Sword Light emitted a hazy glow, speaking plainly.

Luo Xuan coldly retorted, "Cang Jian Taoist Friend, even a mere trace left in existence carries your habit of speaking ill of others behind their backs, huh?"

The Sword Light hummed, "Behind where? Is this God’s voice not spoken right in front of you?"

"Enough." Ji Jingqiu interrupted calmly, "Since you’ve joined the Heavenly Court and accepted the seal, you’re one of us. I ask you, do you want to stay here, or leave with me?"

Luo Xuan, half-smiling, said, "Does senior dare to travel with me? My reputation isn’t good, I’d better remain here."

"Suit yourself."

Ji Jingqiu looked towards the three Divine Lords; Cangqing and the Saint King both expressed their wish to return to the Netherworld.

They had been away from the Netherworld for a long time, especially Cangqing Divine Lord, now unsure whether unrest occurred within the Netherworld, requiring their return for suppression.

Before departing, Ji Jingqiu glanced at Heart Venerable and the others, suddenly asking:

"How come you haven’t noticed that the Netherworld Soil has long been occupied by the Heavenly Court, yet you believe that the current core of the Nether Mansion and the Reincarnation Hall has not been touched by anyone?"

"Have you clarified the identity of the one in the Burial Sea of the Netherworld?"

This question made Heart Venerable and the others’ faces sink, silent without rebuttal.

Saying this, Ji Jingqiu turned and strode away.

Merely leaving Ksitigarbha’s Heaven and Earth.

Ji Jingqiu’s ear then heard Doumu Yuanjun’s voice. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"World Venerate Ji, where are you planning to go?"

Just this phrase added a few more bits of certainty to Ji Jingqiu, believing that the existence in the Burial Sea is indeed Emperor Yi.

Not long ago, the one in the Burial Sea also possessed such inscrutable Divine Skills, transmitting sound into his ears unknowingly.

Of course, it wasn’t determined by Divine Skills but rather by this constant surveillance-like "warning," as if everything was easily seen through.

It’s like a continuation of one legacy.

"Returning to the Netherworld." Ji Jingqiu said, asking, "Does Yuanjun refuse to release people, intending to keep me in the Heavenly Court forever?"

"World Venerate Ji is joking."

Doumu Yuanjun replied with a chuckle,

"In the future, it will be inevitable to bother World Venerate Ji to visit each Gate. But prior to appearances, you should inform me, as the Heavenly Court shall become the focus of all sides, inevitably drawing unscrupulous individuals to act recklessly, so stay vigilant."

"Alright." Ji Jingqiu replied bluntly, adding, "I wonder when I might have the chance to see the Investiture of the Gods?"

"Once you return from this trip, I’ll personally lead you to visit that one."

Visit?

Ji Jingqiu’s gaze grew deep, the Investiture of the Gods seems not to be a mere Divine Artifact.

"The Gate to the Netherworld is open, World Venerate Ji should remember to return early, do not tarry outside for too long."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly said, "Did the Heavenly Court never consider directly occupying the Netherworld entirely?"

"That will wait for those two to settle the victory." Doumu Yuanjun laughed, "World Venerate Ji should not be smart yet misled by smartness, meddling in their struggle."

Ji Jingqiu said nothing, preparing to lead the Saint King and Cangqing towards the Gate, the two never hearing the dialogue between them.

At this moment, Doumu Yuanjun stopped him again.

A vast, boundlessly large Golden Palace Carriage sped through the Void, guided by starlight, pulled by Kowloon, with a Heavenly Court Star Monarch as the coachman, steering the carriage.

Nine True Dragons traversed the Void, a sacred canopy enveloping the carriage, hanging down streams of ethereal water-like light, all transformed from the Dao, indescribably noble.

Swiftly, Kowloon bowed, the carriage halted before Ji Jingqiu, with colorful clouds soaring, where Dao Lingering, accompanied by celestial music echoing.

The Star Monarch alighted and respectfully saluted, inviting Ji Jingqiu onto the carriage.

Ji Jingqiu looked at this coachman, whose realm seemed to be of a True Saint, mind heavy, is this also one from the Investiture of the Gods?

Righteous True Saint, yet reduced to being a coachman?

Is it that once on the Investiture of the Gods, you’ll be completely at others’ mercy?

Or is it that only upon the Investiture of the Gods will you attain the realm of a True Saint?

"Since World Venerate Ji intends to go out, use this carriage. Being one of the future Five Emperors of our Heavenly Court, how can you lack a carriage escort? It would be inappropriate etiquette——"

Doumu Yuanjun’s voice entered his ear.

Ji Jingqiu immediately suspected——

Kowloon pulling the carriage, Star Monarch driving, isn’t this the specification for the Heavenly Emperor’s movements!
