Chapter 306: The Beginning of Tianren, Wuliang Wisdom Light (8.8k) (Part 1)





"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother," Ji Jingqiu nodded.

Wuju Wanderer sighed inwardly, thinking that the senior brother was indeed right, but judging by his demeanor, it seemed he didn't take it to heart at all.

Hopefully, things won't turn upside down...

"Junior Brother Wu Tian, you should still be cautious. Although we have the projection of the sect's sacred artifact for protection, the Yaochi and Huang Xue families also have their sacred artifact projections. I, Tiansheng Lake, was already a step behind, so don't get trapped in a dire situation where you're surrounded by enemies. If you need to escape, then escape..."

Wuju Wanderer couldn't help but send another message of instruction.

Surprise flashed in Ji Jingqiu's eyes.

No wonder this senior brother was in charge of the sect, handling all the major and minor affairs. His personality was a bit like that of a nagging old mother...

"Senior Brother, rest assured. Junior Brother understands," Ji Jingqiu replied solemnly.

Wuju Wanderer took another deep look at him and then turned to address the disciples and disciples. He spoke a few simple words of encouragement.

As the first person under Tianzun, his words carried significant weight, even when the Tianzuns were not in charge. As the nominal "Dao Master," his words held great importance.

"Fellow disciples, the sect will not forget those who sacrificed their lives to expand the Grand Universe and lay the foundation for the immortal legacy of Tiansheng Lake. Even if they perished, the Ancestor would personally bring them back to life and guide them into the sect."

With just these words, the disciples' expressions became spirited.

Ji Jingqiu stood beside Wuju Wanderer, his gaze sweeping over the crowd of disciples below.

For the first time, he saw a scene of over a thousand Xin Xiang and more than ten thousand Jia Suo Realm warriors standing in rows, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

This time, Tiansheng Lake had dispatched over ten thousand people, who would all enter the Grand Universe through the Tianlu channel.

He looked around but couldn't find Tian Qingzi's figure, wondering where he had gone.

"Tiansheng Lake doesn't have a shortcut to Tianlu, so the Ancestor will personally open a path for you. May you all return triumphantly."

After Wuju Wanderer finished speaking, the crowd almost simultaneously looked up.

The sea of clouds hung low, gradually forming a vortex, and an unfathomably deep field was spreading out, vast and boundless. Strange and dazzling lights steamed in the clouds, like fragments of time, refracting a bizarre and wondrous scene.

"Junior Brother, please go ahead," Wuju Wanderer transmitted to Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu looked up.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't thought that he would be entering the Three Thousand Yanfuti through Tianlu, but instead, he was going against the flow...

"Fellow senior brothers, I'll take the lead," Ji Jingqiu said.

Led by Wuju Wanderer, the Tian Wang Zongshi slightly nodded.

"May Junior Brother Wu Tian achieve victory."

"Junior Brother, you go ahead, and we'll follow shortly," the Tian Wang Zongshi said.

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself that for the Tian Wang Zongshi, ten or twenty years... was still considered "shortly"?

He didn't think further and took a step towards ascension, leading the crowd into the channel that led to Tianlu.

As the place where the Ocean of Minds and the Grand Universe converged, Tianlu had always been believed to be connected to the depths of the Ocean of Minds.

For the first time, Ji Jingqiu stepped onto Tianlu, and beneath his feet was a constructed and fixed channel, as expected, likely created by the True-Justice Ancestor.

Outside the channel was an environment almost like the Ocean of Minds, deep and dark, exuding an eerie aura, like a piece of chaotic burial ground.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes suddenly shook, and his mind and gaze were drawn to the scene outside the channel!

The darkness was like a mist, blown away by the wind, revealing a forbidden sight in the depths—

An endless, boundless plain covered with countless bones, and many dazzling light orbs, from which came an endless grand sacrificial chant.

Ji Jingqiu was about to contact Helra to ask if she had seen such a scene when he saw a mountain hanging upside down!

The mountain was named Wu Wang.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes burned with curiosity. Why did the Three Thousand Yanfuti covet Wu Wang Mountain, and why did the top clans of the former Grand Universe migrate to the Heavenly Realm?

With his current insight, he could tell that some forces from the Three Thousand Yanfuti were involved, but more so, it was due to the nature of the Heavenly Realm itself.

The Heavenly Realm, the closest to Wu Wang Mountain!

This ancient world, which had barely survived in the depths of the sea, was, for some reason, the closest to Wu Wang Mountain.

And at this moment.

The Wu Wang Mountain that appeared in Ji Jingqiu's eyes was, as expected, likely a projection located in the depths of the wilderness, or perhaps... the original?

But no matter what, this place was the Ocean of Minds, the next layer below the Extreme Abyss, and also the lair of the legendary Four Demons.

However, Ji Jingqiu didn't find the location of the Four Demons.

At some point.

An illusory figure that only Ji Jingqiu could see stood beside him, devoid of any emotional fluctuations or mental ripples, calm and indifferent to an extreme, transcending everything, like the supreme Heaven's Will that overlooked all.

"After you entered Wu Wang Mountain, what did you see?"

The illusory figure beside him gazed at the upside-down mountain outside the channel and asked calmly.

"A divine herb."

The projection of the True-Justice Ancestor glanced at him.

Indeed, he was from Li Ziyou's side.

"Half a plant."

"Can a divine herb be only half a plant...?" Ji Jingqiu wanted to haggle, but seeing the other's imposing aura and refusal to negotiate, he had no choice but to say, "The firmament is damaged, and the heavens are incomplete. Only a bare mountain remains, shrouded in mist, and it's still inaccessible."

Ji Jingqiu paused and added, "Not a blade of grass grows there. The predecessors had dug it all up."

Hearing the latter part, even the figure beside him, who seemed like Heaven's Will, couldn't help but fall silent for a moment, as if his emotions were stirred.

"After the heavens shattered, did you see the shadow of the River of Time?"

Upon hearing these words, Ji Jingqiu's brows furrowed, as if it was indeed true. Behind the gray mist was an endless, surging ocean, vast and unceasing...

"Is that place connected to the River of Time?" Ji Jingqiu asked tentatively, "Do you want to enter through the River of Time?"

This time, the projection of the True-Justice Ancestor didn't even bother to glance at him.

This kid, is a divine herb like cabbage, so easy to obtain? Who's asking whom here?

In the end, certain matters were confirmed through Ji Jingqiu. He waved his sleeve:

"Tian Qingzi will deliver the divine herb to your original body. When the time comes, take some soil from Wu Wang Mountain and give it to him. Let him bring it back to the sect. I just want to sense its aura."

"After entering the Grand Universe, the priority is to break through the realm and enter the Dharma Realm. With your foundation as a divine form, you should be able to charge forward and reach the Great Heavenly Rank. The required resources and permissions can be applied for within the sect."

As he spoke, the figure of the elder gradually faded away, transforming into golden specks of light that merged into the passage beneath his feet.

Ji Jingqiu was taken aback, and a thought arose in his mind. How did this old fellow know about the soil he had dug up from Wu Wang Mountain?

Could the True Saint even "divine" this?

No wonder he hadn't seen Tian Qingzi earlier; it turned out there had been prior arrangements.

He gazed at the scenery outside the passage, but he couldn't stay for long. As the True-Justice divine forms scattered and merged into the passage as golden light, everyone seemed to accelerate, swiftly passing through the boundless space-time and arriving at the other end of the passage.

Once again, Ji Jingqiu took the lead and stepped out, beholding a brand-new world.

His spiritual power surged forth, like a startling flash of lightning, and he instantly witnessed the vast mountains and earth.

In just an instant, he had a thorough understanding of the area within a radius of tens of thousands of miles, and his spirit continued to radiate, connecting with the planet's will.

This planet... was far larger than Dong 3 Huang Star. His spirit was vast, yet it couldn't encompass everything.

This place was Gusu Star, the location of the Third Ascension Platform? Did that Saint directly open up a path from the end of the passage to this place?

"We pay our respects to the No-Law Master!"

Ji Jingqiu's heart skipped a beat as he saw three Tian Ren martial artists standing in front of him, bowing respectfully.

"Why are there only three of you? Where are the other fourteen?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

There were seventeen Tian Ren who entered Tian Sheng Lake first.

"We report to the Master, the other fourteen are scattered in various places to carry out tasks, or they are using specific secret methods to conceal the heavenly secrets and divert the attention of forces like Huang Xue Palace, ensuring no interference. Only we three are left to guide the heavenly ferry."

Ji Jingqiu noticed the invisible grand array surrounding them, which seemed to be used for concealing heavenly secrets and suppressing noise. He couldn't help but nod in approval.

The preparations on the Tian Sheng Lake side were indeed quite thorough.

Earlier, that No-Restraint Senior Brother had reminded him several times, and he had thought that as soon as they landed, they would start fighting.

Well, it's good that everyone is getting along harmoniously. After he breaks through to Tian Ren, he can take two more steps, and they won't even need to fight. Everyone can just point, and it will be done.

"Is this place Gusu Star?"

"We report to the Master, this place is indeed Gusu Star. Following the sect's instructions, we have established a semi-immortal realm, and we invite the Master to accompany us there."

As he spoke...

The disciples of Tian Sheng Lake also entered this place through the passage.

"Is this the Grand Universe?"

"I can feel it... The Grand Universe is indeed the place where the Dao Ze is most complete and perfect!"

Behind them, numerous martial artists who had entered the Grand Universe for the first time were experiencing the "perfection" between heaven and earth, and they couldn't help but whisper in excitement.

"Originally, my chances of breaking through the Heavenly Realm Barrier were only fifty percent, but now it seems that after accumulating for a period of time and completing my understanding of Tian Ren, I can increase my success rate by one to two percent!"

"Not only that! When we break through to Tian Ren, we can also complete our Dao Ye!"

"A blessed land, truly a blessed land! So, the martial artists in the Grand Universe have always been living in such a blessed land?"

"No wonder countless people throughout history have wanted to sneak into the Grand Universe but couldn't find a way. No wonder those guys from the Blood Demon Palace have always been trying to attack the Divine Path..."

"Those guys from the Nine Provinces are indeed foolish enough to voluntarily leave such a treasure land!"

...

Hearing the whispers behind him, Ji Jingqiu shook his head.

Why does it feel like leading a bunch of country bumpkins into the city?

And these country bumpkins' wealth far surpasses that of most city dwellers.

He looked at the three people and said, "You take them to settle in the semi-immortal realm."

The three Tian Ren hesitated, "Master, won't you come with us?"

Ji Jingqiu replied calmly, "I can't suppress it anymore. I'm about to break through to Tian Ren."

The three of them were excited, "Congratulations to the Master for comprehending the Great Dao of Tian Ren!"

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, "What's so great about Tian Ren?"

"Please be careful, Master! The breakthrough to Tian Ren is a grand event, and it will definitely attract the attention of petty villains!"

Ji Jingqiu nodded and turned back, "Lou Lan, Tian Yingzi, come forward and listen to my orders!"

In a short while, a woman with a heroic charm and a man with a valiant appearance quickly approached and bowed respectfully.

The woman's eyes were filled with both anxiety and anticipation.

The man's eyes were burning with intensity.

"You two, along with these three, are responsible for settling the disciples. Wait for me to return after breaking through the realm. During this time, anyone who causes trouble will be killed without mercy."

Hearing Ji Jingqiu's order, the three Tian Ren who had arrived earlier glanced at the two of them.

As expected, these two were the "trusted" ones by the No-Law Master's side.

More than ten thousand disciples of Tian Sheng Lake exclaimed in surprise, most of them with envious eyes.

Only a small number of disciples looked at Tian Yingzi with a mix of surprise and doubt, and among them, there were the most Xin Xiang martial artists.

Why is it him?

How could it be him?

"We will follow the Master's command! Disciples will do our best!" Tian Yingzi emphasized each word, his voice filled with passion.

He knew that this opportunity he had now was all due to Ping Qing, his senior martial uncle, and there would be no second chance in life.

Lou Lan, standing beside him, also hurriedly followed.

Ji Jingqiu said with profound meaning, "I hope so."

Next, it was time to see how these little guys would "fight among themselves," saving him the trouble.

Led by the three Tian Ren, a vast group of ten thousand people silently infiltrated the night.

The group didn't travel far before frequently turning back to look behind them. Most of them had guessed what the Master was about to do, and their eyes were filled with anticipation.

...

Ji Jingqiu stood in his original spot, slowly closing his eyes.

"Aren't you going to suppress it?" Helra asked.

"There's no need," Ji Jingqiu said as he adjusted his mind and body, bringing himself to the best state, "If it weren't for the unsuitability, I would have liked to take a step to Tian Ren."

"The Tian Ren Tribulation should be nothing to you. What you need to pay attention to is the place where you establish your Dao and the Dharma Realm."

"Moreover, there is the Inner Realm! After breaking through, when you recast your Heavenly Physique, you will experience a significant elevation in your life rank. This is the only best time to be baptized by the power of Heaven and Earth, and to forge your Inner Realm!"

"During your breakthrough, remember to maintain a clear mind. Circulate the cultivation method I taught you, treating your Five Zang Organs as five temples for worship. This is just a trial, and if it succeeds, next time it will be your true body."

Helra's reminders flowed through Ji Jingqiu's mind, calming his spirit and elevating his Sacred Embryo infinitely, harmonizing with the Heaven and Earth of this place.

However, this planet was truly vast, and a rough perception revealed that it was more than a hundred times larger than Dong 3 Huang Star!

His mind could only encompass a portion of the planet, not even a tenth of it.

Moreover, the planet was filled with numerous ancient seals, some of which even he was reluctant to touch. From a distance, he sensed the dangerous aura.

If his assumptions were correct, these seals were most likely left behind by powerful cultivators of the Holy King lineage.

The water of this Gusu Star was much deeper than that of Dong 3 Huang Star.

Ji Jingqiu was not surprised. After all, Dong 3 Huang Star had been 'waded' through by Ji Shuai and the others, not just once, but multiple times, and the planet had been transformed on numerous occasions.

Following Helra's suggestion, the so-called Ascension Platforms were initially used as springboards to invade various realms, serving as training and garrison grounds for troops.

Judging by the layout of this planet, it was indeed true. The area alone was more than a hundred times larger than the Cangqing lineage, and one could imagine the massive armies that once occupied this place.

He calmed his mind and devoted himself to his own breakthrough.

Below the Heavenly Realm, he sought Heavenly Oneness, striving to comprehend the laws of Heaven and Earth.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Realm, he mastered the complete Heavenly Oneness, but what he truly sought was his own self.

After all, borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth had its limits, and it was either constrained by the environment or suppressed by the Great Dao.

Establishing the Inner Realm was a crucial step for cultivators to become independent from the outside world.

The Three Calamities of the Heavenly Realm all focused on forging and tempering the Inner Realm. In the later stages, cultivators could even use their Inner Realm to withstand the divine abilities and lethal attacks of their enemies.

As long as the Inner Realm was not destroyed, the cultivator would not die.

Building the Inner Realm was like constructing a house. It required gathering materials, demarcating the foundation area, digging the foundation, erecting pillars and beams, and finally, building and decorating the walls.

This divine form used the Primal Five Elements to establish its foundation, which not only laid the deepest foundation but also prepared the pillars and beams. All that was left was the baptism of Heaven and Earth, and he would be able to ascend to the heavens and directly complete the 'wall building'!

...

...

"Another illusion! Tiansheng Lake has indeed made thorough preparations!"

With a hint of anger, he stomped on the medium that formed the formation, his tone filled with a chilling aura.

His companions looked at the trivial things under his feet, their eyes filled with regret, wishing they had acted faster...

These core formations were all valuable, and they couldn't compare to the wealth of the Yaochi lineage.
