Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 409 - 188: Yanfu Pattern, Nine States Heavenly Pride_3

The gateway to the Nine States is far too important; even though they held the initiative over this portal, it was imperative to station a heavy guard.

Half the forces of the Dragon Tiger Dojo seemed too few to Qingyang Ancestor, but it was not yet suitable to reveal this publicly and so he had to wait for another day.

One day.

Ji Jingqiu received the Spiritual Image Skills previously mentioned by Qingyang Ancestor from Master Yang.

This secret technique allows one, after entering the Divine Travel Realm, to manifest the creatures from their visualizations into the mortal world, to accompany them by their side.

Afterwards.

After making thorough preparations, Ji Jingqiu grabbed some items similar to high-energy nutrition bars and stepped into the passage, returning to the Nine States.

Initially, he had planned to go together with Shi Xuanzhen, but Shi had other matters to attend to and would be late.

Entering the passage, he traversed the few meters distance in two steps, once again feeling the sensation of every cell in his body as if cheering and leaping with joy.

Indistinct laws flowed through his fingers like sand, elusive to grasp firmly yet their presence was palpably felt.

Such a wonderful feeling was hard to resist.

As Ji Jingqiu stepped out of the passage, ready to take a deep breath of the air of the Nine States, a thrill from the depths of his spirit surged through him like an electric shock, instantly permeating every inch of his body.

He abruptly looked up.

The shadowy portal thunderously opened wide, the great door rooted in the void welcoming him.

A heart-palpitating aura began to spread.

...

"The Taboo Gate...?!"

Not far away, Qian Chong, who was meditating, abruptly opened his eyes with a shocked gaze, wondering how such a small place could see the emergence of something that could cross into...

Was it the descendant of the South Emperor?

He has come?!

But he had just stepped onto the land of Nine States and had already triggered the Taboo Cataclysm?!

In a moment, Qian Chong was frantic with worry. How could anyone hastily survive the Taboo Cataclysm! It would not be too late for them to return to the Nine Palaces and make thorough preparations.

Under the boundless night sky.

A gentle light, not dazzling to the eye, slowly rose in the forest ahead.

That was a young man with a commanding presence, standing firm, looking up into the vast void with a calm demeanor, seemingly without fear of the sudden, fatal crisis.

Inside him seemed to be a gentle Arrogant Sun that bloomed warmly, not overbearing but radiating an aura of accommodating All Phenomena, as if everyone could find their True Self within this radiance.

The next moment.

Under this impeccable light, the Nether Sea mist that made countless mighty beings tremble with fear was forced back, retreating beyond the gate as if snow melting under the blazing sun!

...

Ji Jingqiu once again repelled the black fog with the Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp.

This time, however, it did not end with the retreat of the black fog.

The portal in the void quickly snapped shut and disappeared, its movements swift as if hurrying through a formality.

Then, a mountain emerged into Ji Jingqiu's field of vision.

It stood quietly in the current of time, having witnessed the succession and changes of countless generations, silent and soundless.

Ji Jingqiu saw a grand stele on the mountain, his name inscribed on it, stroke by stroke.

When his name was completely imprinted on the stele.

He felt a kind of invisible force casting down upon his "True Self."

The next moment, the invisible force turned into threads, linking him to certain people.

He glanced sideways, as if his gaze traversed mountains and rivers, collided with the eyes of some people, looking at each other across endless time and space.

...

In the steel city that stretched to the horizon, at the center stood a monolithic skyscraper that reached from earth to heaven.

In the topmost office, an old man sat with dignity, his eyes holding a scene of the Sun, Moon, and Stars shattering, ancient and profound, his expression showing no signs of happiness, anger, sorrow, or joy, emanating an aura of authority like that of a God present in this world.

However, what the old man said right now was somewhat less serious.

"...The unparalleled Heavenly Pride of the Heavenly God Clan this generation is a woman, if you can capture her and make her your maidservant, let alone being a branch general manager, even if it's for the top seat at the main company, I have the confidence to support you in claiming it!"

The young man sitting in front of him said with a laugh: "Well said, but old man, can you withstand the pressure from the Divine Race?"

The old man glared: "Humph, this old man is tougher than you think!"

In just a moment.

The swaggering, laughing young man suddenly changed in demeanor, his eyes and brows lifted sharply, a formidable aura surged like a rainbow, overwhelming like a tidal wave.

He suddenly stood up, went to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked into the boundless distance, his aura intensifying like oil poured on fire, growing more and more fierce as if without end!

Watching Jiang Tunhai, who had been languishing for over a year, suddenly "man up", the old man's eyes gleamed with insight, instantly guessing the reason behind it.

Since a year ago, after this young man entered the Taboo Sequence, in this realm he had been invincible, with no one able to stir such vigor in him!

In this world, another unparalleled Heavenly Pride of the Taboo Sequence had emerged!

...

Above the vast and infinite azure, a floating land that appeared still was actually moving slowly.

Among the mountains on the floating land, clouds wreathed around, various Strange Flowers bloomed in competition, and mythical creatures mentioned only in myths roamed leisurely among the forests, like the majestic and noble unicorns, the imperious dragon kin...

At the highest point of the floating land, a magnificent Divine Temple stood, surviving the years without faltering, its walls carved with vivid depictions of Miracles.

Inside one of the Divine Temples, a woman sat in silence.

Her features were like a painting, extraordinarily beautiful, her body clear and translucent, radiating an immortal divine brilliance.

When she was quiet, her visage was dignified, embodying a transcendent and inviolable sacredness.

Suddenly, she glanced aside, feeling a connection from the void, the Power of the Spirit gently rising, responding to someone's gaze.
