Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 223: Trials of the Bitter Sea, Birth of the Swallowing Realm Snake



"Alliance Leader Ji, please take a seat. Little Ancestor will be out of seclusion soon," said the young man from the Beast Sea with a smile. "Hearing about your arrival has brought great joy to Little Ancestor."

At this point, the young man also wondered to himself.

After reporting the visit of Ji Jingqiu, an abrupt sound, like that of breaking bricks or some other anomaly, was heard from Little Ancestor's cultivation chamber, causing a significant disturbance.

Was it necessary to be so excited?

This period of time had already proved that Alliance Leader Ji was quite honorable and upright, and not one to suppress those who were different.

Though he seldom took care of affairs, he had set the basic "moral tone" for the Sun and Moon Alliance and had generously provided the Heart Lamp to martial artists of the Ancient Road, which could be used to ignore the Deceit Fog on the road.

Many martial artists from the Beast Sea had benefited from the Heart Lamp.

Such nearly Divine power and the spirit of selfless sharing had made Alliance Leader Ji a sought-after figure on the Ancient Road, earning him the respect of countless martial artists.

It wasn't fear of Alliance Leader Ji suppressing others, so what could it be?

Thinking that they from the Beast Sea had had little past interaction with Ji Jingqiu, the young man dismissed some of the more outlandish thoughts.

They had never met before, so there couldn't be any romances born from admiration... The young man mumbled to himself. Text acquired from M|V|LEMP&YR.

"You are too kind," said Ji Jingqiu. "I have come this time also to inquire about some secrets of the Void Giant Beasts that I've long admired."

The young man from the Beast Sea confidently smiled and said, "Please take a seat; on this matter, the Beast Sea will not disappoint you."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, recalling the information about "Little Ancestor" that the other party mentioned.

She was called Xuanqing, rumored to be of mixed heritage from three clans, possessing the bloodlines of three different Void Giant Beasts, an experiment of the Beast Sea in recent years.

She had previously tried to break into the Taboo Sequence outside the Ancient Road but due to an accident, she was half-crippled in a failed attempt. Unexpectedly, once on the Ancient Road, she succeeded in Nirvana and leaped through the Dragon Gate.

For creatures like Void Giant Beasts, which are born in the Divine Travel Realm, their descendants' bloodlines would awaken for the first time upon entering the Divine Travel Realm, substantially increasing their power.

So although this member of the Beast Sea had achieved Nirvana rather late, her true strength might not necessarily be inferior to other members of the Taboo Sequence.

Ji Jingqiu sighed inwardly; having bloodline inheritance was just like that, far beyond what an ordinary person like him could compare to.

For ordinary people like them, all they could rely on was hard work and extraordinary wisdom.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu suddenly wondered whether he should also think of a name for his own child?

Pure-blood Void Giant Beasts are born with true names, but true names cannot be disclosed as they involve the power's origin; hence, a name for wandering the world is needed.

What to call it? His surname was Ji, and naturally, the customary practice would be for the child to take his surname...

As he was contemplating.

A noble-looking woman with her hair coiffed into a bun entered the guest hall, tall and with long legs visible beneath her long dress, and a golden butterfly wing mark on her brow, adding a touch of elegance.

Her expression was calm and composed, with an undercurrent of coldness, and her gaze towards Ji Jingqiu was deeply profound.

What is the most painful thing in the world?

To encounter a scoundrel only to discover that even after Nirvana and rebirth, one is still no match for him, and must even figure out ways to woo him, in the hopes of inviting a Void Beast Ancestor back to the Beast Sea in the future.

"Xuanqing, nice to meet you for the first time," Ji Jingqiu greeted her in a friendly manner as he rose to his feet.

As for being referred to as "junior sister," although she was older than him, winners are kings and losers pawns! The talented take the high seat!

The world of Martial Arts is so cruel!

"Leader Ji, please take your seat," the woman's lips parted slightly, her voice cool as she spoke.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze lingered on the golden butterfly wing on her brow for a moment.

It looked oddly familiar.

"I wonder, Leader Ji, what significant matter brings you to visit our Beast Sea," Xuanqing asked.

Ji Jingqiu felt a little perplexed, sensing a hint of struggle and entanglement in her words. What was she struggling about?

"I wish to learn about Void Giant Beasts from your force, such as what are the common challenges a Void Giant Beast faces at birth?" Ji Jingqiu politely inquired.

A flicker of strange color lit up in Xuanqing's eyes.

Is that sovereign going to emerge?

Although she was unclear about the specific background of the sovereign behind Ji Jingqiu, she could sense that his Origin was incredibly powerful, his stature extraordinary, and not below the old ancestors of the Beast Sea.

For the Void Giant Beast clan, one's innate stature greatly determines one's future achievements.

"Leader Ji, why have you suddenly taken an interest in this?"

She tried to pry some information from Ji Jingqiu, preferring not to reveal her hand, as those past humiliations still caused her to grind her teeth in anger every time she thought of them, wishing she could bite to death a certain boundary-less bastard.

Ji Jingqiu's response was rather noncommittal; naturally, he couldn't reveal that it also somewhat meant showing off one's wealth discreetly.

If news of a newborn Void Giant Beast got out, not to mention just the Beast Sea power, high officials from other Overlord Forces would also vie for it.

"Just a pure interest," Ji Jingqiu laughed, "Perhaps there may be a chance encounter in the future, and it's better to understand beforehand, lest there be a connection without destination."

Xuanqing looked deeply into his eyes; she knew it was most likely impossible to wait for him to volunteer the information.

"Coincidentally, I sense a familiar aura on Leader Ji," Xuanqing said softly.

"Oh, is that so?" Ji Jingqiu looked at her in surprise and casually said, "Perhaps we are fated. Although we haven't met in this life, maybe we shared a deep connection in a past one."

Underneath her robe, Xuanqing clenched her fists, really wanting to land him a solid punch.

She composed herself and steered the conversation back on track, giving a detailed introduction of the challenges a true Void Giant Beast may encounter at birth.
