Chapter 266: The Longsword Piercing Through the Divine Kingdom

Chapter 266: The Longsword Piercing Through the Divine Kingdom



Ji Jingqiu recalled the deep abyss he had witnessed before.

The Four Divine Sovereigns had not explicitly stated it, but their words hinted at the Suffering Sea.

This astonishing answer was truly baffling.

Ji Jingqiu gently asked in his heart, "Are you still interested in the Federation's secret? I can make the decision and grant you permission to send your original body there on behalf of the Divine Sovereigns."

La Jian remained silent, seemingly shocked by this news as well.

Remembering the words of the Divine Sovereigns, they had never stopped their attacks on the Federation.

Ji Jingqiu sighed, thinking that the Wilderness Four Devils were too idle. Without the constraints of work, if he were to reach the pinnacle in the future, he would follow in the footsteps of his predecessors and find suitable roles for the Four Devils within the Federation.

Making the best use of everything, utilizing everyone's talents, and fulfilling their respective duties.

With the Four Devils serving the Federation, how could the Federation not prosper?

"When will you teach me the Formless Heavenly Devil Technique?"

Ji Jingqiu entered the inner world. Looking at La Jian, who was in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her.

"Primordial Nature..."

He glanced at Fat Tiger, who was submerged in the waves.

In a sense, the creations that emerged from the visualization were closely related to the Primordial Nature of the warriors.

"The Formless Heavenly Devil Technique... I will teach it to you myself."

Hela regained her senses, and her tone was different from before, carrying a peculiar significance. She spoke calmly and solemnly,

"If you wish to climb to the pinnacle of the martial path, I have two techniques to assist you. One is the Prayer Technique, and the other is the Great Dream Technique. They can help you fall into an infinite dream, revealing your true heart and pointing you towards the future Great Dao."

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and replied, "Far from delusions and dreams, one reaches Nirvana."

Hela paused for a moment, then angrily threw Fat Tiger towards him.

The Heart Sutra states, "Far from delusions and dreams, one reaches Nirvana."

But how could her dream, as the Dream God, be the same as the illusions and chaos mentioned in that sentence? Her dreams had long involved time and fate, connecting the river of time to foresee the future causes and effects of fate!

This was the core of her divine authority and her most essential essence.

If she hadn't suddenly heard this news, she would have wanted to test the limits of the Suffering Sea through Ji Jingqiu. Even though they had signed a contract, she would not have gone as far as to sacrifice herself for him.

Indeed, she was like a frog at the bottom of a well, unaware of the vastness of the world!

Ji Jingqiu caught Fat Tiger and casually put him down, but the latter scampered towards Hela, causing Ji Jingqiu's face to darken.

An invisible and formless wind blew past Fat Tiger's ear, seemingly communicating with him.

Fat Tiger's steps faltered, and then he quickly changed his angle as if nothing had happened, and nervously approached the two longswords standing in the inner world.

Today was another day of diligently sharpening the swords!

Hela's voice returned to its usual calmness, and she said indifferently, "The Formless Heavenly Devil Technique can wait. First, try to comprehend the Heavenly Heart of this place and attempt to integrate your life stance and the Heaven-Earth Battlefield with the heavens and earth. I have a guess that I want to verify."

"What guess?"

Sensing the caution in Ji Jingqiu's tone, Hela sighed, knowing that this young man would not let go of any opportunity. She said,

"I suspect that this planet possesses the Void Attribute. In the Grand Universe, planets are extremely special entities. They may be small and weak, but some have the potential to derive a universe of their own. They are like the fruits of the Grand Universe."

"The former Huang Tian and Hou Tian were once two massive planets in the Grand Universe, but they later detached from it and evolved into complete universe worlds of their own."

Planets like these often possess certain special attributes, similar to the Void Attribute. They have the potential to link the gates of the gods. Cultivating on a planet with the Void Attribute can more easily pry open the doors to various worlds."

Ji Jingqiu pondered, thinking that perhaps the passage to the Nine Provinces on the East 3 Huang Star was not merely a coincidence.

At that moment, Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged on the steps in front of the temple, and his mind extended from his body, merging with the surrounding heaven and earth.

In an instant, the wind, light, sound, water... everything resonated with his mind.

Although he was sitting there, even Heart Image Warriors passing by would 'see nothing,' unable to perceive his existence, except for the Heaven People.

His breathing, the fluctuations of his mind, and his powerful life stance were all in sync with the frequency of the East 3 Huang Star at this moment!

Under this pull, a vibrant life force deep within the planet was summoned by Ji Jingqiu.

He suddenly saw something that made his scalp tingle!

...

Li Family.

"Uncle, there's no need to provoke Ji Jingqiu at this moment. He has already achieved great success, and he has the support of many. The suppression of the West is just one example. The Mu Family, the Hundred Lineages, and even half of the Ke Family, as well as the Federation officials..."

Li Yingtian coughed violently halfway through his sentence, as if he was about to cough up his lungs. Traces of crimson dripped from his palm, and his face turned pale.

Li Xuanting's expression darkened, and he had already placed his hand on Li Yingtian's shoulder, trying to soothe him with his mind and life stance.

His life force field could transform an entire planet, and his vast mind could summon the wind and rain, making the heavens and earth obey his will. Yet, he was unable to cure his nephew.

No matter how many precious elixirs, divine medicines, or heavenly medicines were used, it was all in vain, only prolonging his life.

Li Yingtian's body was like a house with holes, and no matter how much was invested, it would still leak.

"Cough... Uncle, I'm fine." Li Yingtian caught his breath and smiled, comforting his uncle. He continued in a low voice,

"The West has been in chaos for thousands of years, but it has finally returned to peace under his hands. Why? It's not just because of the timing, as you said, but mainly because of Ji Jingqiu's identity and the forces backing him."

"The Federation's number one genius for ten thousand years... no, he has already entered the ranks of the strong. As the Commander Mu's Heir, protected by the Mu Family, he is on a completely different level compared to any other warrior who wanted to pacify the Western chaos. Even the Six Great Families have to consider his attitude."

Li Xuanting remained silent.

Indeed, this situation was almost incomprehensible.

The fact that the six great families would place such importance on an outsider was unprecedented in history. It wasn't just because of Ji Jingqiu's status as the heir to Mu Shuai, but also because his future potential might rival that of the Seven Marshals.

Li Xuanting thought of the elders within his family, his expression unreadable.

The six great families were willingly accepting Ji Jingqiu, believing that he should become one of them.

The combination of his identity, potential, and strength made Ji Jingqiu both virtuous and competent, without any apparent weaknesses.

A warrior who not only upheld righteousness but also possessed formidable power, even grasping the future...

It was only natural that the western families would bow down to him.

No one knew how long it would take for Ji Jingqiu to officially enter the Celestial Being Rank.

Even before reaching that rank, he had already suppressed those at the second level of the Celestial Being Rank. If he were to attain it...

"There's no need to be his enemy," Li Yingtian said solemnly. "We should just focus on our own affairs."

Li Xuanting furrowed his brows. "What if he blocks our path?"

"Then we'll go around him," Li Yingtian replied matter-of-factly. "Second Uncle, you need to change your way of thinking. Not everyone who blocks our path needs to be crushed. Sometimes, you can take a detour."

Li Xuanting was speechless.

Li Yingtian suddenly looked weary. "Second Uncle, I need to rest for a while. Don't get involved in Ji Jingqiu's affairs. It's not worth it, and it's unnecessary..."

Seeing the fatigue on his nephew's face, Li Xuanting's expression darkened. "Is that place calling for you again?"

Li Yingtian forced a bright smile. "It's just a small issue. I'll handle it casually."

Please... Support... and collect... 6... 9... votes...

After saying this, he returned to his bed with Li Xuanting's support. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind was drawn by some invisible force onto an ancient path, each step spanning a light-year, crossing the endless universe, and arriving at a majestic Divine Kingdom.

This was the location of one of the Four Devils' Divine Kingdoms.

The rumor within the six great families that he could traverse to the other side of the wilderness and have a separate body in the Nine Provinces was only half-true.

He could indeed traverse to the other side of the wilderness, but this other side was not the Nine Provinces; it was the Divine Kingdom of the Four Devils.

Li Yingtian took a deep breath. He wasn't sure how he had arrived here, but it seemed no different from the outside world...

No, it was far more comfortable than the outside world.

In this place, his body was free from the interference of curses, allowing him to pursue the heights of martial arts without hindrance.

"Li Divine Son, please follow me. The Divine Lord's avatar wishes to see you."

In the majestic Divine Kingdom, a so-called Holy Spirit appeared before him, seemingly respectful yet detached, guiding him deeper into the kingdom.

Li Yingtian nodded calmly and followed the Holy Spirit.

By now, he had become accustomed to it.

From his initial resistance and frantic attempts to escape, to gradually accepting and going along with it, and now to his current indifference.

Sometimes, even Li Yingtian himself didn't know if he was just going along with it or if he had resigned himself to his fate.

After crossing a certain threshold, Li Yingtian looked up and saw a figure standing at the center of the universe.

The figure was shrouded in a hazy, immortal glow, exuding an eternal and unchanging divine nature, as if it were the only existence in the universe!

Countless light orbs floated around the figure like the sun, each containing a grand and majestic chanting sound, paying homage to the central figure.

Li Yingtian's heart grew heavy. Those light orbs represented either a world or an immortal Divine Kingdom...

They were all "vassals" kneeling before the Four Devils, and some didn't even belong to this grand universe cluster, as the Four Devils were "outsiders" who had come from the distant Sea of Darkness.

The Four Devils' strength far exceeded the Federation's expectations and the predictions of countless powerful beings from various worlds!

Could such an existence truly be challenged?

Li Yingtian looked up, subconsciously holding his breath.

It was a sword.

A sword that pierced through the Divine Kingdom, severing all causes and effects, and exuding an ancient, timeless aura.

This very sword had caused the Four Devils to suffer a setback two years ago, forcing them into a brief slumber to recover their depleted divine power. Even today, they had not fully awakened and dispelled the effects of this sword.

It was also this sword that had dimmed the countless worlds and light orbs surrounding the Four Devils!

Li Yingtian stood in place for a long time, gazing at the sword.

There seemed to be inscriptions on the sword, but they were obscured by chaotic mist, making them blurry and unreadable.

He still remembered that day when someone, without even showing their face, had drawn their sword and struck with such force that it seemed to split heaven and earth, piercing through time and fate, and even the endless dimensions. Despite their immense power, the Four Devils could only stand there and accept the blow!

At the urging of the Holy Spirit in front of him, Li Yingtian muttered to himself.

When...

Will there be someone who can wield a sword for him, helping him break free from his ailments and shackles, and enter true freedom?

...

Ji Jingqiu witnessed a road that reached from the earth to the heavens, its destination unknown, but its end seemed infinitely distant.

Several figures stood on the road, all left behind by Dao Marks, turning to look back, one after another, from near to far.

The closest one to him was a familiar yet unrecognizable old man.

Fists of intent surged around him, stirring the vast sky, exuding a domineering and unruly aura. Just a glance from him conveyed a bold and unrestrained intent.

At this moment, the figure stood in the middle of the road, seemingly blocking the path, ready to strike any who came after him.

Behind him, several other figures could be vaguely seen.

As expected!

The remnants of the past warriors who had achieved Heaven and Heart as One still lingered on this planet.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes burned with passion. Calmly, he stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves.

The fists and swords of the Celestial Beings in the west were indeed too light and feeble!
