Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Zhong Nanzhu was toying with the ring on his right finger when he suddenly changed his mind:

"Find out why the Sun and Moon Alliance wants to recruit martial artists from the Yanhuang Federation. Also...send someone to seize the Plane World that the Sun and Moon Alliance desires."

"Are you saying..." his subordinate asked in surprise.

Zhong Nanzhu slowly stood up, his expression indifferent, "I originally wanted to subdue Senluo, but he touched upon a taboo. I won't tolerate him, even if he wished to bow down, he no longer qualifies to be my follower."

The subordinate hesitated, "The strength of Senluo, I'm afraid, is not something we can handle."

Zhong Nanzhu said flatly, "I will personally intervene, forcing him to reveal if there are others behind him. Let's set the battlefield in that Plane World he wants, especially since we had just agreed not to start a war in Void Boat City."

...

...

After Ji Jingqiu and another returned to Void Boat City, four days had already passed.

"You're saying that Heavenly Net Hall also wants to compete, and has already started making their move?" Senluo's expression turned cold, "Wasn't it agreed upon that they would not participate? Why the change of heart?"

Zi Rixin, who was responsible for interfacing, pondered and said, "I put in some effort and pulled this order that came from the highest ranks of Heavenly Net Hall. Also, the attitude of the members of Heavenly Net Hall we interfaced with has drastically changed, with their hostility now obvious. There are already rumors out there claiming that Heavenly Net Hall is preparing to target us, causing some unrest among the alliance members recently."

After listening, Senluo remained silent for a moment before suddenly coldly laughing:

"They really walked into the line of fire. Alright, I understand now. Continue to have people monitor that Plane. We must still contend for that world!"

"Moreover, if anyone wants to leave the alliance during this time, let them go, but also record their Spiritual Waves. They won't be able to come back in the future!"

While appearances and names can be faked, Spiritual Waves are hard to conceal.

Zi Rixin's expression unconsciously showed worry, "Standing against Heavenly Net Hall might eventually draw out Zhong Nanzhu."

Senluo said dismissively, "It's fine. My elder brother will handle it."

Zi Rixin's eyes flickered, somewhat expectant if Ji Jingqiu could really suppress Zhong Nanzhu. Even if he could match him evenly, the future development of their Sun and Moon Alliance would be incredibly smooth sailing!

"Currently, over a dozen martial artists from Nine Palaces have joined us, and they have all been settled. Also, just three from the Yanhuang Federation have come, but their strength is quite significant, one Sealing King and two Marquis!"

Zi Rixin summarized the recent developments.

Mentioning the Yanhuang Federation, Zi Rixin had an odd expression. As a businessman, intelligence is paramount, but in their network, there had never been mention of this so-called Yanhuang Federation.

Yet from their interactions over this period, this civilization seemed extraordinarily strong.

Not to mention others, just the younger generation, based on information disclosed by those two Marquis, they only came with a few hundred people, yet among these few hundred, they only ranked in the lower middle tier.

Could that mean there are at least several hundred Marquises, and dozens of Sealing Kings?

Speaking from the perspective of the whole Ancient Road, with billions of martial artists, being a Marquis was essentially a local powerhouse, a definite high-rank in some smaller forces.

The foundation of this Yanhuang Federation was beyond his imagination, just based on the young generation of powerhouses, coupled with their boss Ji Jingqiu…

Overall, they could probably even wrestle with some Overlord Forces!

Senluo, hearing his description, was also somewhat surprised. The Purple Crystal Clan is a first-rate civilization, but in this generation, apart from him, the number of those above Sealing King could be counted on two hands .

"Normal, after all, it is a civilization capable of producing a Taboo." Senluo whispered, "You've arranged everything well. Next, my elder brother and I will take a trip to that Plane World."

...

Half a day later.

Ji Jingqiu and Senluo arrived at an entrance to a Plane World.

Senluo had been here before, and this time he confidently led Ji Jingqiu into the interior of the Plane World.

During this period, he had achieved a small breakthrough in nurturing his inner light, which had just begun to show a flicker of flame, and he was keen to test it out.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly stopped him.

He looked at the Plane in front of him and said, "You mentioned before that this Plane World is very safe, with no native residents or Mythical Creatures, just some Deceit Fog-like substances that are about to disperse?"

Senluo nodded, "I personally surveyed it."

Ji Jingqiu turned and pointed towards the entrance of another Plane World, asking, "On the way here, did you say that there is a Mythical Creature in that Plane with strength comparable to Chains Realm?"

Senluo followed his direction and with regret, said, "Correct, that Plane is extremely resource-rich and dense with Divine Remains, but unfortunately, it is home to a Mythical Creature comparable to the Chains Realm. Many martial artists have died inside while exploring."

Ji Jingqiu, thoughtful, continued to point at several other Planes, inquiring about their levels of danger.

In the end, he seemed to have understood something.

After his promotion to Divine Travel, he noticed some changes in the markings on his hand, inexplicably gaining some functional expansions.

One of them was the ability to sense the general situation of nearby Planes.

Though unable to see too specific or clear of an image, he could distinctly feel certain "bright spots."

For example, the first Plane he pointed at earlier had a rather notable bright spot.

The subsequent Planes he pointed at also corresponded one by one with Senluo's answers.

Thus, these bright spots refer to powerful beings, not necessarily Mythical Creatures, as some strong natives also exist.

"So, you just said this Plane is very safe?" Ji Jingqiu pointed to their current target and asked again.

Senluo, stunned for a moment, nodded, "Yes, the first batch of martial artists from Heavenly Net Hall has already entered for exploration and have all safely returned. What's the matter?"

Ji Jingqiu straightforwardly said, "There's a being inside, vastly more powerful than usual Chains, it's uncertain whether it's a Spirit God or another powerful creature."

Senluo couldn't help asking, "You haven't even entered, how do you know?"

Ji Jingqiu illuminated the Ancient Road marking on his arm, plainly stating, "My marking is different from yours; it seems to have more functions. I can sense whether there are powerful beings in nearby Planes."

Senluo's pupils shrank, "You've gained authority?!"

"Authority?" Ji Jingqiu raised an eyebrow, he hadn't come across this "term" in the Ancient Road data of Nine Palaces.

Senluo breathed heavily, "I only heard it via rumors… it's said that martial artists in the Taboo Sequence, upon reaching the middle to later stages of the Ancient Road, might be granted authority from the Ancient Road, but..."

But isn't the Ancient Road just opened for less than a month now?!
