Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 1488 - 524: Enmity Against the Tao

The forty-seventh realm of the Heavenly Court.Heavenly Dome Taoist looked up, murmuring, "Is this the transcendental duel?"

Strictly speaking, this was not yet a confrontation between two transcendent beings, but rather a duel between the newborn Buddha Master and the Heavenly Court.

The events that occurred earlier were overwhelming for all beings, and in a short time, the Heavenly Court had significantly increased the "Divine Punishment" on subordinate realms through the Divine Dao System.

Under the collective prayers of the beings in the Fuyou Realm, a golden Buddha manifested in Heaven and Earth, full of compassion, embracing all beings.

This was formed from the thoughts and sentiments of all beings, eventually converging into a sea, resisting the Divine Punishment of the Heavenly Court, protecting all beings beneath it.

If it were just this one Buddha, Heavenly Dome would not mind, for he too could withstand the Divine Punishment if he acted. However, there are now over two hundred realms under the control of the Heavenly Court!

To simultaneously manifest across over two hundred realms, such a method, such might, in sheer quantity alone, has already surpassed the limits of a True Saint!

Heavenly Dome looked at Ji Tianxing beside him and whispered, "Did you foresee this scene?"

The Dream Demon’s transcendence, the World Venerable’s harmonization!

In just an instant, the World Venerable, whom Ji Tianxing dared not gamble against, overturned the great force of the Heavenly Court, reversing the situation of this war!

Ji Tianxing was speechless, not because he once again glimpsed the Other Shore he accidentally saw in his youth, but because he remembered the words of Shitian the last time they met.

—What we pursue has never been the Other Shore, Jing Qiu is naturally like us.

He had once wondered, if not the Other Shore, then what?

And today, his nephew’s apprentice gave him a perfect answer.

It was a realm he had never seen before, transcending the barriers of the mundane world, even surpassing the Other Shore.

"The Other Shore descends into the Human World, Ji Linyuan’s breakthrough now has more assurance." Ji Tianxing did not answer Heavenly Dome Taoist’s question, but murmured, "This battle is not over yet, it has just begun, hopefully, there will be no further variables."

"What other variables could there be? Emperor Yi?" Heavenly Dome suddenly looked serious, "Hel has already transcended, and judging by the situation, it seems she stands with the World Venerable, what other variables could there be in Heaven and Earth?"

"From beginning to end, the most critical thing for the Heavenly Court... is the Investiture of the Gods." Ji Tianxing replied slowly.

Heavenly Dome took a deep breath and said, "The Investiture of the Gods..."

It was precisely the Investiture of the Gods that oppressed him until now, preventing him from acting, leading to the great disaster in the Fuyou Realm, relying on the World Venerable to take action!

His master, who harmonized with one realm, was also demoted by the Investiture of the Gods, falling back to the realm of a True Saint, and was slaughtered by the Heavenly Court on the spot!

"The Investiture of the Gods controls the fundamental Dao laws of this realm, and logically, even the ancestors who left each family should be constrained by it."

Ji Tianxing said in a deep voice,

"Now we will see, what exactly is the thing Hel harmonizes with."

Heavenly Dome questioned skeptically, "Hel’s transcendence, was it completely beyond your expectations? Wasn’t she already in the hands of your Federation long ago?"

Ji Tianxing smiled bitterly, this is probably what Shitian meant by "early preparation," right?

Just uncertain for whom exactly this preparation was intended.

...

"Senior Brother! The Pantheon over there is asking if we should coordinate with the World Venerable now!" Wensu hurried over, with an indescribable look of excitement.

Ji Jingqiu’s harmonization and Hel’s enlightenment caused a commotion that covered the entire Sea of Realms.

The various families focusing on the Heavenly Court’s movements naturally did not miss any of it.

As the Dream Demon attained enlightenment and transcended, elevating the World Venerable to immeasurable heights, even the Heavenly Prison Palace could no longer utter a single word of criticism about the World Venerable.

"Senior Brother, has the World Venerable harmonized with the Sea of Suffering?"

"Not only that." Kong Ming shook his head, "I observed through the Observing Realm Instrument left by our master that there’s movement in the Nether Sea as well."

"Harmonizing with both the Nether Sea and the Sea of Suffering in one go?!" Wensu exclaimed, "Even the Netherworld Lord of that year harmonized one at a time! Can this one withstand it? Harmonizing with the Bitter Sea and the Nether Sea all at once, doesn’t that mean directly stepping into transcendence?"

Kong Ming shook his head and said, "That you’ll have to ask the World Venerable in person."

"Senior Brother, should we take action?" Wensu remembered the purpose of this trip and asked urgently.

"What for?" Kong Ming retorted, "To add flowers to brocade? Adding flowers might not necessarily decorate the brocade and might instead introduce unforeseen variables, causing trouble for the World Venerable. It’s better to hold our troops and not move."

"Judging by the World Venerable’s actions, it’s clearly well prepared, why should we interfere?"

"In other words, this war is also the stage for the World Venerable’s ascent to the summit."

Kong Ming’s few words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Wensu’s excitement.

Yes, today’s earth-shattering events were by no means a matter of impulse; it must have been a plan laid over centuries and millennia, only to bear fruit today.

"After today, those in the Sea of Realms who believe in the Buddha Master might span far more than just a hundred or two hundred realms."

Kong Ming murmured as if he had seen the future.

Just a single phrase "After today, the Four Lives and Six Daos, all experiences must be fulfilled; the Three Realms and Ten Directions, every request must meet with response" will cause countless beings to devote themselves to the World Venerable’s Taoist inheritance!

Kong Ming suddenly said, "Go notify them, to prepare for the worst, always on guard against the Heavenly Court’s counterattack and possible variables."

"What variables could the Heavenly Court have now?" Wensu seemed unconcerned, "The Dream Demon has transcended now!"

Kong Ming pronounced word by word, "For instance, the Silence Tide."

Wensu’s expression suddenly became serious.

"Now that the World Venerable holds great influence, even he would not dare to be careless. From where do you gain the courage?" Kong Ming reprimanded, "Go quickly!"

...

With the descent of the True Spirit Heaven Rank into the mortal world, after a brief period of uncertainty, the top figures in each family’s gates all more or less felt a peculiar sensation, originating from the depths of their spirits, resonating with infinite heights.
