Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

The leaders from the Southern Wilderness Continent and the West Phoenix Continent entered the challenge arena of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele one after another, quickly breaking into the top hundred and advancing towards the top thirty ranks!

Ultimately, one halted at the 28th position, and the other at the 27th.

And the Martial Artists from the Nether Sea, after lying dormant for a long time, also stepped into the final challenge one by one, with their leader Hong You stopping at the 26th position, actually surpassing the two leaders from Nine States by a margin.

In the end, the Martial Artist named Hong You let out a long sigh, seemingly not having encountered the anticipated conclusion he'd hoped for and regretfully withdrew from the Ancient Road.

During this period, many Taboos also chose to challenge, but the final rankings were quite different from what they had envisioned.

In the Far Eastern war zone, only three individuals entered the top hundred, with the highest-ranked being Lin Tianjun at the 66th position.

The most unfortunate was the Heavenly God Clan's Suopo, who had always kept a low profile until now but just happened to make it to the 100th place, only to be pushed out of the top hundred by the last challenger, Lin Tianjun.

Of course, Jiang Tunhai felt even worse since his ranking was below that of Suopo.

Their strength was similar when they first entered the Ancient Road, but now Suopo clearly outpowered him thanks to the "gift" from Chi Ji, awakening part of his Heavenly God Clan's true form.

...

...

Nine States, Yanfu State.

Although the challenge of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele spanned three months, to these mighty warriors, three months passed in the blink of an eye, so there was no impatience, only growing anticipation, especially since there was a high probability of witnessing the top ten battlefields in this session.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect the God Hunting Company to lose this round."

"That girl from the Heavenly God Clan is no simple character, actually awakening part of her Divine Travel Realm's true form, she must have another fortuitous opportunity."

"Most seed warriors have already finished challenging, and overall, this session has already surpassed previous years, second only to the session ten thousand years ago."

"Now all eyes are on that kid from Nine Palaces, this kid is really patient!" a strong warrior muttered.

"For such a challenge, one naturally needs to give it their all!" retorted someone, "You wouldn't understand if you're not invincible."

"If the kid from Nine Palaces manages to break into the top ten battlefields, wouldn't we get to see that person again?" someone suddenly spoke up.

Even though no names were mentioned, everyone clearly understood whom he was referring to.

First place of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele, Ning Mingsheng.

There had been more than one occurrence in the past challenges of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele where these strong warriors glimpsed at his prowess, and even if they did not like him, they had to admit his summit achievement in the Divine Travel Realm.

"Gentlemen, place your bets. Bet on what rank Ji Jingqiu of Nine Palaces will end up at. I shall be the bookmaker," suddenly someone in the crowd said with a laugh, and looking in the direction of the voice, it turned out to be the Red Bright Heavenly Master Qi Yunfei from Nine Palaces, standing beside him was none other than Gu Tatian.

A strong warrior jested: "Old Qi is running the books himself, you have such high hopes for your lad? Then let the one surnamed Gu place a bet first."

"That's right, let Gu make the first bet! You're his elder in terms of mentorship; surely you think highly of the kid, right?"

"Let's go with the top three then," Gu Tatian said with a slight smile, his comment immediately silencing many voices.

"...Top three?" someone exclaimed, shaking their head, "That's way too high."

Gu Tatian simply replied, "If he's entered the top ten, what's the issue with advancing to the top three?"

"True, but even getting into the top five is tough," someone sighed lightly, "Though they're all invincible, there are subtle differences, each following their path's strengths and weaknesses."

"It's not about strengths and weaknesses, just the temporary outcomes of battle," someone disagreed but agreed with the preceding assessments, "I also think the top five is stretching it, but based on his ability to hold his own in the Instant Heaven and Earth Dojo, I'll bet he gets into sixth place!"

"Sixth... That's actually a bit hard to determine," someone frowned, "I've almost forgotten those few individuals' tactics; honestly, at that level, you only know after fighting."

"Less talk, I bet he makes it to the sixth."

"Hehe, gentlemen, you're all in such high spirits; then, let's have a little fun with our bets, I'll go with the eighth," said an elder in high-collared court robes, shaking his head.

"You're all so daring with your bets, do you really think the top ten is so easy to enter? Those three who were pushed out of the top ten ten thousand years ago were also at the invincible level! I'll bet on the bottom end."

"Regardless, we ought to thank the lad for giving us the opportunity to 'observe the Dao' in the final battlefield again," someone suddenly said thoughtfully, "A battlefield transcending time and space, searching for opponents within the Time River... I truly wonder how Emperor Heaven achieved this step back in his time."

...

...

The attention to the final challenge of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele was not limited to the strong warriors from Nine States.

Within the Three Thousand Yama of the Nether Sea, certain Martial Artists were also paying attention, particularly those powers that knew there was a high chance this generation would see members entering the top ten rankings.

While Nine States may not represent the entire world, the ranking of Nine States' Emperor Heaven on the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele is undoubtedly one of the top few in history, even across the Three Thousand Yanfu.

Furthermore, the possibility of approaching a certain Sacred Realm is likely for this position!

At this moment.

Within a majestic Dao palace nestled deep in the Void, seemingly omnipresent, a detached and aged male voice resonated.

"Has the Nine States Martial Artist who killed Lord Tianyang begun the challenge of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele?"

Outside the Dao palace, a man waiting in the Void quickly replied with respect: "Reporting to Heavenly Venerable, we have observed that it should be in the coming days."

"Pay attention to his final rank," the aged voice boomed once more, "I need to step out for a while, to meet a few Dao friends. If anyone comes to visit in the next few days, tell them that Heavenly Saint Palace will temporarily not participate."

The man asked puzzledly, "Is Heavenly Venerable not taking this opportunity as in previous years to probe the life and death of those few from Nine States?"

"There are matters of greater importance..."

A sigh echoed through the air, and the being within the Dao palace seemed to have already departed as he spoke these words, leaving only his lingering voice behind.
