Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 1420 - 502: Kowloon Draws the Carriage, Transcending the Ancestors (Part 3)
In fact, in the outermost region of this area, there are indeed many ice sculptures, maintaining their original postures, gazing into the unfathomable depths of this Earth Territory, like sentinels watching over a returning path.
The return path of the Ancestors.
It has been countless years since the Ancestors embarked on their journey of conquests.
But today, from the perspective of these ice sculptures, at the eternal night-like depths, it seems there is a splash of firelight, flickering for a moment, brief yet genuinely appearing!
At this moment, in the endless deep of this path...
A majestic Sword Light cleaves down, within it a vigorous Sword Intent daring to change the sun and moon and create a new heaven, transforming the Ten Thousand Realms, as per the Sword Master’s desires, sweeping away all the old ills of the Human World—
Hong Yan, who walks ahead, turns back to see a man with overwhelming Divine Power holding a sword to cut through the vastness of the Void, directly striking at a young man carrying a sword on his back!
The latter is surprisingly Xu Hua Daoist of the Heavenly Cutting Sect.
"Cang Jian, what madness are you up to again?"
Xu Hua shouted, the Divine Sword behind him automatically unsheathing, limitless Sword Light erupting, manifesting the Returning to Truth’s spectacle, Sword Qi rolling, evolving into four colors symbolic of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.
One sword strike, the Void ceases to exist, temporal space turbulent, rules and morals completely vanish!
The ripples from the confrontation between two Returning to Truth Ancestors spread directly to the surroundings, only stopping after destroying countless layers of decayed universes.
As one sword falls, Cang Jian withdraws his sword edge, turns indifferently, seemingly losing interest in further action, casually dropping a light comment:
"Suddenly remembered the promise of a sword on the Returning to Truth Road, here is my return today."
Xu Hua, glaring furiously, was about to berate Cang Jian for his madness, when a figure, one even he was wary of, happened to pass by with a smile. With a flick of the fingers, a lotus containing a hint of memory bloomed before Xu Hua.
Suspicious, Xu Hua cautiously touched it, once the past scenes unfolded, his face darkened instantly, snorting coldly, he turned and left.
Years ago, he embarked on the Returning to Truth Road and met the "World Venerable," divided into two segments of memory, with the first segment brought back by his disciples, ensuring he remembered the "World Venerable."
The second segment disappeared along with his clone at the end of the Returning to Truth Road, until the Void, the final witness, returned it just now, reminding him of the dialogue at the end with Cang Jian.
Suddenly.
Xu Hua frowned, sheathing his sword, the Sword Light destroying heavens and earth in their myriad colors all retracting into the sheath, he spoke:
"Why this time, we failed to find that Divine Mountain?"
The Void clasped his hands within his sleeves, sighing:
"Wrong time, wrong place, and wrong people, naturally the truth remains unseen."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xu Hua asked with a furrowed brow.
The Void shook his head, his expression suggesting he couldn’t explain, turning to leave.
Ahead, Hong Yan suddenly transmitted a message to all Ancestor Masters separated by distance:
"In the Sea of Realms, proclaiming the Heavenly Court’s return from a hundred epochs ago, claiming possession of five Great Dao Ancestor Fruit Positions, reserved for those destined to inherit, and that World Venerable has joined the Heavenly Court—"
At this moment.
The Heaven and Earth seemed to freeze absolutely.
Even if this place is a dead zone within a dead zone, an absolute place!
Figures either indifferent, calm, or curious, looked towards Ancestor Master Hong Yan.
These beings almost all stood within a clear and flawless circle of light, their figures blurred, yet their auras lofty, transcendent.
At the forefront.
Under thousands of radiant lights and hues, an Elder Gu within a bright, mirror-like circle of light turned back, dressed in light-colored Daoist Robe, an ancient and holy Daoist Crown atop his head, his face obscured by chaotic dark light, indistinct, his aura seemingly encompassing all, covering infinity.
Beside this being stood a man with an extremely indifferent temperament, an aura of Blood Evil so oppressive that Heaven and Earth remained silent, yet still made all Ancestors feel apprehensive.
He also turned to look at this moment, the aura intense to the utmost, sweeping in all directions, making Hong Yan tremble slightly, but his fiery battle spirit grew even stronger.
They met eyes, seemingly reaching a consensus.
The man with the ancient Daoist Crown calmly spoke:
"You’ll cover our retreat, I’ll clear the path, expedite the return."
The latter did not object, turning indifferently, heading back in the direction they came from, his aura as though slaying all creation and the heaven to its deepest, darkest, strongest, most supreme, shredding everything around!
Even the Ancestor Masters tacitly avoided him.
While passing the Void, he suddenly stopped, indifferently said: "Stop playing. If you continue, your World Venerable Taoist Friend may not hold."
The Void clasped his hands within his sleeves, merely smiled, without replying.
