Chapter 324: Wonders of the Universe, the Strongest

Above the sky, a dark and deep crack appeared, like a scar in the sky, shocking to the eyes, and expanded at a terrifying speed until a figure disappeared into it.

This scene alarmed countless people below, and it was too “familiar”. They had seen it only a few years ago, but they would never forget it.

Some people tried to follow and enter, but were blocked outside the rift.

“That is… the Ancient Road of Heaven?! What’s going on? The ancient road is reopened after several years?!” a warrior from the Nine Palaces exclaimed.

“If I remember correctly… Grandmaster Ji came back yesterday. The young figure who just disappeared was Grandmaster Ji?”

“The great uncle Ji from the universe?!”

“Of course, who else could it be besides this person? Could it be that the number one on the Eternal Monument has the qualifications to enter the Ancient Road again? Write it down, there is no similar record in the history books…”

“Isn’t this person busy making a breakthrough in the universe?”

“Brother, have you been in seclusion recently? Uncle Master Ji broke through to the heavenly realm half a month ago and killed a great heavenly realm with a flick of his finger!”

“Before he broke through the Heavenly Man, he was a strong man in the God’s Forbidden Zone. Now that he has leaped through the Heavenly Gate, it is rumored that he can be on par with the Heavenly King. Who in the universe can be his enemy?”

“I’m afraid this person came to Jiuzhou because he has no rivals in the universe and is really lonely…”

……

Returning to the ancient road again, Ji Jingqiu really wanted to rub his hands, as it was time to eat at the rich man’s house again.

What made him most regretful at the moment was that it was his clone who went to Tiansheng Lake.

Although Jiugong had a good relationship with him and needed help from the Federation, it was impossible for him to treat “Wutiandaoren” as he did Tianshenghu and allow him to do whatever he wanted, unless he had agreed to stay and become Jiugong’s “man of destiny”.

Currently, the clone far away on the third ascension platform has almost survived the first wind disaster with the help of the resources from Tiansheng Lake.

“Senior, I have already broken through to the Heavenly Man, and I want to take advantage of the incomplete plane of the ancient road to make further progress.”

Ji Jingqiu bowed towards the illusory figure in front of him.

This is the projection of Gu Lu’s will.

Ji Jingqiu vaguely realized that this person seemed to be more solid than the last time they parted?

But according to what he said before we parted last time, shouldn’t his strength be declining step by step over time?
[The ancient road has no shortage of planes and worlds. If you can swallow them, you can swallow them. ]

When Gu Lu Yishi saw Ji Jingqiu returning, he anticipated his purpose.

For celestial beings, the fastest way to cultivate the inner world is to devour other planes of existence or to survive disasters.

As it waved its hand, the stars appeared in a dense yet orderly array, hanging on the sky, representing the many incomplete dimensions of the ancient world of the Imperial Heaven Road.

It first drew out a row, barely two hands long:
[This is the inner universe of the former Heavenly Venerables and above. Even if only a small part of it remains, it is still like a child eating ginseng. It is too much tonic and it is difficult to digest the true rhythm of the great way.]

It split out another column, this time with hundreds of them, and then after a slight hesitation, it split out another large half:

[These are the remaining inner worlds of the Heavenly King Grandmaster. This part is what you can barely digest at the moment, and you can use the remaining illusory avenues in it as a confirmation. For the time being, forget about the rest. The realm is too high and difficult to digest. It may even become the master and affect the operation of your inner world.]

It pointed at the remaining stars: [These are of heavenly level, you can pick them at will and refine them into your foundation. ]

Ji Jingqiu looked at the “dazzling array” of stars and was dazzled for a moment. He couldn’t help but sigh, saying that it was worthy of being the Huangtian Universe, which was second only to the big universe in the past.

This is just what is left. I don’t know how many more strong men died in the final battle, and all traces of their existence have been completely wiped out.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Jingqiu discussed with Hila and said:
“Senior, please help me screen those who share a similar path to me among the inner world of the celestial beings.”

Gu Luyi nodded and said:
[Good, a wise choice. I thought you would go for the top-level ones right from the start.]

Ji Jingqiu smiled and said, “For now, I am still focusing on overcoming the three disasters and improving the foundation of the inner world. The level of heaven and man is enough. The most important thing is that our paths are similar and can complement each other.”

This was the result of his discussion with Hela.

Although digesting an inner world of the king level would bring great benefits, it was too difficult for him and took too long. The overall benefits were not as good as devouring multiple inner worlds of celestial beings to enhance the foundation of his own world.

Only after he has overcome the three disasters, he can then plot against these incomplete planes of the king level, which will be much more efficient.

These incomplete planes cannot escape, so there is no need to rush.

What path are you taking?

“See the formless through the myriad phenomena.” Ji Jingqiu added, “If it is a very rare and obscure path, it is also possible.”

Gu Lu pondered for a moment, then pointed out again, and only forty-nine “stars” were left in the sky behind him.

It refined forty-nine stars into one, and with a flick of the finger, they disappeared before one’s eyes in an instant.

At the same time, Ji Jingqiu noticed something strange in the inner world. Looking inside, it seemed as if there was an extra bright red star above the sky.

Although there are forty-nine incomplete inner worlds, they are all condensed as one, and the thickness of the heaven and earth is far beyond. The Taoist rhymes and principles among them are either similar or completely unfamiliar.

After confirming this, Ji Jingqiu’s eyes were burning with joy. It was truly a sumptuous feast.

[These forty-nine incomplete planes are enough for you to digest for three to five years. You can come back to find me after three to five years.]

Gu Lu’s will didn’t care about the disappearance of forty-nine stars.

Four words: wealthy and powerful.

Instead, it still felt that Ji Jingqiu’s current realm was too low. Even if it allowed him to devour, it would not be able to devour too much and would need time.

At this moment, a figure dotted with red clouds jumped out from the True Spirit Pool at the center of the inner world. As it rose into the sky, its body continued to expand, and eventually it became so large that it covered the sky and the sun. It wandered through the galaxy, swallowed the bright red star in one gulp, and then circled its head and tail together, hanging above the sky.

Ji Jingqiu did not stop him, but instead looked expectant.

With the help of the World-Devouring Serpent’s innate magical powers, the digestion of this “star” will be easier and the extraction will be purer.

In Hela’s estimation, in just over half a year, most of the laws and principles of heaven and earth will be melted into this world, and during this period, they will also continuously replenish the foundation of the inner world.

The remaining “damage” will fall into the belly of the World-Devouring Serpent.

Ji Jingqiu doesn’t care about the “loss”, he only cares about time.

It’s still four words: wealthy and powerful.

Soon, Ji Jingqiu felt a slight roar coming from the inner world, and it seemed as if there were raindrops transformed from the rhythm of Taoism and the principles of law between heaven and earth, pouring down like spring rain.

[By the way, do you still have a World Devouring Snake? ]

Gu Lu suddenly remembered and said,

[With the World Devouring Snake helping you digest your inner world, you can save a lot of time and explore the universe.]

The universe? Ji Jingqiu asked in confusion.

[The three disasters of heaven, man, wind, fire, and thunder are obstacles on the road of cultivation for others. If they cannot overcome them, they will die. But for you, the force is too light. You must learn to increase the difficulty yourself.]

“Increase the difficulty yourself?” It was the first time that Ji Jingqiu heard such a statement.

[While the Three Calamities cleanse the heaven and earth, they also enhance the essence of the world and trigger the birth of the will of heaven and earth. This is something that cannot be compared to how much inner heaven and earth you devour.]

[I know that there are three places in the universe, which are the wonders of the Five Pillars period, used to refine the foundation of the younger generation. You can go there and use the power of heaven and earth to baptize the inner world.]

Hearing that it was left by the five pillars of the past, Ji Jingqiu immediately became interested, but also a little hesitant:
“Isn’t it too far? It will take a long time to travel.”

[If you are interested, I can take you there. ]

“Senior, can you send me there directly?”

Ji Jingqiu was surprised and a little excited. Does this mean that Huangtian can lead to any place in the universe?
[In the past, the entire Heaven and Earth spared no effort to protect the universe from disasters. Now that the will of the universe has awakened, it will naturally give compensation and gifts. Unfortunately…]

A sigh sounded, carrying a sense of loneliness.

[In today’s Huangtian, there is nothing left except the Daoist tradition, and there are only a few people who can be called successors. ]

“I heard that when the Emperor of Heaven was destroyed, some ethnic groups chose to migrate to the Three Thousand Jambuvipa?” Ji Jingqiu asked tentatively, “Are they not counted?”

Gu Luzhi ended with five words calmly:
【We are not fellow travelers.】

Then, this person pointed out:

[Opening a portal to the universe for you, leading to a specific area, is not difficult to do with the tacit consent of the universe. ]

[Now that you have the power to do whatever you want in the universe, you should seize the opportunity, do whatever you want, and get all the good things you can get.]

[The foundation of the universe is far superior to other worlds, but it is just in the “low tide period” and is not obvious. 】

Ji Jingqiu’s eyes lit up. That’s the truth!

[In addition, there are two nearby ascension platforms in these three strange places. If you are on your way, you can suppress the various divine prohibitions and slow down the establishment and preaching of the saints of the three thousand Jambuvipas in the great universe.]

After a pause, Gu Lu warned:
[They carry the principles of the saints. You can defeat them, or humiliate them. But if you kill them, you must be careful, as it may lead to a “counterattack from the great way.”]

Ji Jingqiu nodded. He knew very well that behind every divine ban stood a powerful force. He would not count them one by one, otherwise he would offend everyone and become the enemy of the whole world.

Of course, you can just switch to the small one when necessary.

[In the practice of the Great Dao, Dharma, companions, land and wealth come first, with Dharma coming first, followed by companions. ]

Gu Luyi sighed softly.

The destruction of the Heaven and Earth in the past was partly due to their own actions. They thought they were second only to the universe and ignored the other three thousand Jambuvipas…

“Senior, the warriors in our Federation tend to stay at home and rarely go out, so we don’t know much about the geographical divisions of the universe. Do you have a map? It would be best if it directly marks where the treasure is…”

Ji Jingqiu asked for advice, his eyes full of expectation.

Gulu’s will was silent for a moment. Although it had this intention, after hearing Ji Jingqiu’s words, it couldn’t help but remain silent for a moment.

“Homebody”?
A great master of the heavenly kings, if he is careful among the three thousand Jambuvipas, will always be able to make a name for himself.

Even in the True Saint Dojo, the Heavenly King is considered a high-level official and has decision-making power.

If you are the one who leads the way, then there is no need to say more.

As far as he knew, the top warriors of the Federation ten thousand years ago were used to traveling around the world with aliases, otherwise no one could explain the current situation.

It may get better, with many forces remembering the old friendship, or it may get a hundred or a thousand times worse, with new and old hatreds all settled. But one thing is certain, whether it is good or bad, the attention of all forces in the world to the Yanhuang Federation will far exceed the current level.

This “mustard seed piece of land” will become a thorn in the eyes of all parties.

Although it is still the case now.

[I heard that your Federation has recently had a dispute with some forces in the Three Thousand Jambuvipa regarding inheritance? ]

I heard Gulu Yizhi suddenly ask this.

Ji Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Although he was not responsible for this part of the matter, he had heard about it.

He sighed and said, “There were some disputes, and both sides clashed with each other. Some past events were completely buried in history and cannot be sorted out.”

“Bump” magical power?
Gu Lu’s willpower almost gave out.

It really is a continuation of the same tradition!
In the Yanhuang lineage, only some of the top warriors have been dug up for their “glorious history” so far, but not all of them. For example, Mu Shitian’s name is far less famous than that of the others.

But in terms of realm, he is the highest person in the Yanhuang lineage from ancient times to the present. He carries the hearts of all living beings on his body and once surpassed the five pillars of the past. The Four Demons regard him as an enemy of the Great Dao, but few True Saints in the various realms know his true strength.

Ji Tianxing, on the other hand, was not at a high level, but was very capable of causing trouble. His reputation was greater than his strength, and he was especially good at flirting with other women.

Thinking of this, Gu Luyi looked at Ji Jingqiu. This kid learned from the Southern Emperor He Donghuang and also inherited the Mu Shitian heritage. No matter which side he was from, he should have nothing to do with Ji Tianxing.

Then there is hope.

【Go travel in the universe for a year. One year is a short time for the universe, but it can also allow you to gain something. 】

Ji Jingqiu nodded. The reason why it was one year was because the turbulent period would come in more than a year.

He then expressed another purpose for coming to Kyushu.

[Buddha Village… I can’t help you. Although I am the will of Gu Lu, and barely the will of the Emperor, the Emperor is no longer the same as before. I can’t defeat those two True Saints.]

[Once I show up, those two True Saints will not let me go. At most, I can help you collect some intelligence information.]

“Two True Saints?”

Hearing that Gu Lu’s will could not help him, Ji Jingqiu felt a little regretful, and then asked,

“There are only two True Saints in Jiuzhou now?”

As a gathering of all the top civilizations in the former universe, the two True Saints can be said to be extremely rare.

[The Lord of All Things is also equivalent to a True Saint, but he fell into a long sleep a long time ago and is in poor condition.]

The Lord of All Things…

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be thinking about something. Not long ago, someone from the Wanxiang Divine Kingdom went on a diplomatic mission to the Federation, hoping that he, Ji Jingqiu, could go to the Divine Kingdom and become the Son of Wanxiang God, second only to the emperor.

Without waiting for Ji Jingqiu to refuse, Ji Anquan refused on his behalf.

Gu Lu pointed his finger at Ji Jingqiu’s brow, and a vast star map suddenly appeared in his mind.

[This is a partial star map to help you avoid getting lost. ]

[The passage I opened for you will last for four months. You have four months to explore the surrounding area, then return and enter the next place.]

Ji Jingqiu glanced at the star map, confirmed the locations of several strange places and the surrounding ascension platforms, and immediately had an idea in his mind.

“Please wait a moment, Senior. I need to go back to the Nine Palaces.”

【Can. 】

……

……

Four guardian stars, the third satellite.

The guard Meng Jintian, who had met Ji Jingqiu once before, suddenly opened his eyes with a serious expression.

A warrior suddenly walked in front of the hall.

“Pei Yu…” He narrowed his eyes, thinking of some recent rumors, “Aren’t you in the Wanwu Association? What brings you here?”

Pei Yu said calmly: “I haven’t seen Brother Meng for a long time. I miss you very much. I came here to meet you.”

Meng Jintian stood up slowly, his eyes were cold, his mind radiated, and he instantly scanned the satellite, and instead of being angry, he smiled and said:

“Mr. Pei, what benefits did Zhang Tiancheng give you to make you work so hard for him, even at the cost of betraying the Federation?”

Pei Yu looked at him deeply and said, “Brother Meng, don’t you feel constrained in the Federation?”

“Restrained?”

“We celestial beings have long transcended the mundane world and entered another level of life, but we still have to abide by the law and even protect ordinary people. Isn’t this upside down?”

Pei Yu said solemnly,
“Brother Meng, do you know that among all the forces in the world, the celestial being can guard and rule a region. It is ruling! Within the jurisdiction, they can do whatever they want, which is almost ‘God’s will’. Isn’t this a thousand times more comfortable than staying in the Federation?”

Meng Jintian sneered, “I’m called Jintian, but you dare not think so. Do you really think I have never traveled through the realms? Among those big forces, who can guard the lower realms in heaven? Which one of them is not a direct disciple or a descendant of a big family? Do you think you can stand shoulder to shoulder with them if you go there?”

Pei Yu shook his head: “So we chose to follow Alliance Leader Zhang. He is a genius who is on par with the Seven Marshals. This time when he goes out, he will become a Heavenly Lord and establish his own sect.”

Meng Jintian frowned and asked, “Has Zhang Tiancheng become a Grandmaster?”

Pei Yu said calmly: “It happened a thousand years ago.”

Meng Jintian’s expression became more serious: “In other words, Wanwuhui had been planning today’s incident thousands of years ago?”

Pei Yu advised again: “Brother Meng, the Federation is already doomed. Ten thousand years ago, there were seven generals who stopped the four demons. But who can we rely on in this life? Ji Jingqiu? He is indeed talented, not inferior to the leader, but it’s a pity that he was born a thousand years too late and cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility.”

Meng Jintian sneered, “In the end, it’s nothing more than you guys are afraid of death and feel that the future of the Federation is bleak, and you don’t want to sink with the Federation.”

Pei Yu asked doubtfully: “Shouldn’t it be possible?”

Meng Jintian had a blank expression on his face and had completely lost interest in communicating with this group of people.

Different road non-phase plan.

If they can even abandon their hometown as a matter of course, what else is there to talk about?

If everyone was like this ten thousand years ago, how could you, Pei Yu, be where you are today?
“Brother Meng, it’s better for you not to take action today. In terms of strength, you are not as good as me who has fought in Tianlu for many years.” Pei Yu said lightly.

Meng Jintian sneered and actually did not take any action.

Time passed by minute by minute as the two confronted each other.

Pei Yu swept the surroundings with his mind. They secretly controlled all the surrounding defense lines. Until now, no accidents had happened in any of the surrounding defense lines.

Realizing this, he couldn’t help but look at Meng Jintian with a smile.

It sounds better than singing, but in the end, isn’t it just about your own life and property?

If there were really people today who were willing to sacrifice themselves for justice, he would still admire them a little, but now, what was the difference between these people and them?
But as time goes by bit by bit.

Nothing seems to happen.

At this moment, Pei Yu saw the sneer on Meng Jintian’s face, but he did not panic. Instead, he grinned and said:

“Have you already set up an ambush? Is it Ji Jingqiu? Do you think you have a sure win?”

He suddenly laughed wildly and said, “This is our token of surrender! Zhan Yang has already sneaked into the Four Guardian Stars in advance, just waiting for Ji Jingqiu to arrive! No matter how invincible he is, he can’t defeat the unsealed Four Demon Hela!”

Meng Jintian still maintained his sneer and said, “You worry too much. We really didn’t notice your infiltration. But we are in charge of the four guardian stars and kill you villains. Why do we need Master Ji?”

This abnormal behavior made the smile on Pei Yu’s face gradually disappear.

What do you mean they were truly unaware?
Before yesterday, they had already sneaked into the Four Guardian Stars without anyone noticing, but because of the request of the Four Demonic Followers, they had delayed taking action in an attempt to lure in the big fish, Ji Jingqiu.

Didn’t the mail get delivered?

No matter how much the other party doubts the email and thinks it is a trap, they should still be suspicious and have no choice but to step into it.

Right now!

A chain pierced through the void and in just a moment, Pei Yu was entangled on it. The latter had no chance to break free and was dragged into the void with a look of horror on his face!
A celestial being was swept away like a child.

Faced with this horrifying scene, Meng Jintian was not surprised. He also vaguely saw dozens of figures hanging on the “chain”.

This made Meng Jintian sigh. The Wanwu Association belonged to the same federation, but they betrayed together today. He didn’t know whether the other forces in the federation had any ulterior motives.

The other thing is…

According to Pei Yu, they had sneaked into the Federation without anyone noticing a few days ago, waiting for Ji Jingqiu’s arrival.

How could this Snow Ancestor, who was in charge of Baiyujing, not notice anything? He was clearly “too playful”!
This made Meng Jintian feel helpless.

Also helpless was Ji Anquan who was in Baiyujing.

He looked at the black and white snake in front of him and said with a headache: “Couldn’t you have taken action earlier? What if something unexpected happens?”

He felt that this was a complete problem child!
Much more difficult to deal with than Ji Jingqiu!

Xue Zu widened his golden eyes, raised his head, and said in a voice that sounded young but full of old-fashioned:
“How could this be an accident? The nightmare demon may seem to be lying in the laboratory, but in fact, I have already sent it to another void. Only a master can touch it.”

“With the old ancestor in charge, what are you afraid of? In this vast universe, I am the strongest!”

It swung its tail, and dozens of celestial bodies exploded instantly, turning into a ball of blood mist, which slowly fell on its tail and turned into red dots in addition to the black and white colors.

The sudden changes caused by the first wanton killing of celestial beings surprised Xue Zu.

How come this little bit of red cloud is so similar to my silly sister who has grown crooked?
This made it fall into deep thought.

The tip of his tail scratched his chin subconsciously.

Could it be that my sister is walking ahead of me?
