Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 427 - 194: Stepping onto the Ancient Road, The Beginning of the Invincible

Ji Jingqiu ascended to the mountain summit, and after carving some words, he chose to leave and was escorted down the mountain by Lu Tong, arriving above the heavens.

In an instant, he felt scores of gazes converging on him, as if an invisible net was binding him within the void, coming from all directions with an extremely terrifying presence behind him.

But quickly, these gazes melted away like ice and snow, dispelled by an imposing man beside him whose body radiated divine light, bringing a strong sense of security.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this young man is our Nine Palaces' young Supreme of this generation, named Ji Jingqiu. In the future, I hope you will all take care of him."

A light chuckle emanated from the mouth of the imposing man.

After a brief silence, like the calm before a storm, still, no one dared to make a move in his presence.

Moments later, sighs of admiration echoed around, with some drifting away and others staying to offer surface-level congratulations. Of course, among them were those who offered sincere blessings, and even mentioned their own young individuals, asking Ji Jingqiu to look after them should they embark on the Ancient Road...

To this, the imposing man beside Ji Jingqiu seemed to accept all the courtesies but left plenty of room for subtlety.

After a short while, as if the imposing man felt satisfied, he took Ji Jingqiu and Lu Tong and left. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

It was only through Lu Tong's private transmission that Ji Jingqiu came to know that the imposing man beside him was none other than the Red Bright Palace Master, who had personally helped him seek out the spiritual mechanism!

This Lord Qi had a good relationship with the master of their Great Red Sky Palace; it was he who had led the latter to join the Eight Palaces, which subsequently changed to the Nine Palaces.

"You've done well."

After moving away from the scrutiny of others, Qi Yunfei revealed a look of appreciation, and with a raising of his hand, a stream of spiritual mechanism undulating like a meandering dragon showed its mystery, encircling his fingertips like a breeze, formless and invisible.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze sharpened.

This turned out to be a strand of nine feet nine superior spiritual mechanism, rare in the world, and it belonged to the Wind and Cloud type!

With a flick of his finger, Qi Yunfei sent the spiritual mechanism into Ji Jingqiu's hands, who immediately stored it within his Inner Realm.

"This trip out took me to some places, and I managed to fulfill my expectations by finding a strand of superior spiritual mechanism," said Qi Yunfei calmly, "Having built a Taboo foundation, the palace must provide some support. I hope this strand of spiritual mechanism will help you navigate the Divine Travel Realm more smoothly."

Lu Tong spoke gravely, "We've troubled Brother Qi this time."

Ji Jingqiu might not understand the value and significance of this strand of spiritual mechanism, but he was well aware of its preciousness; almost invaluable!

To have found a strand of nine feet nine superior spiritual mechanism in just a few days, one either had tremendous luck or had invested significant effort and cost, which was not as simple as Qi Yunfei had claimed.

"No bother," Qi Yunfei waved his hand dismissively, looking at Ji Jingqiu with a smile. "You should go back and rest for now. The Ancient Road will soon open. Strive to be in your best condition. I'm looking forward to you breaking into the top thirty of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele."

With a wave of his hand, Ji Jingqiu's figure had vanished from the spot, sent directly out of the Spirit Realm by Qi Yunfei, back to the Nine Palaces.

Only Qi Yunfei and Lu Tong were left in the original place.

"Has your senior brother not returned yet?" Qi Yunfei asked directly, "Such an outstanding disciple, and he does not come to take a look?"

Lu Tong replied with a wry smile, "I can't contact him at the moment."

Qi Yunfei nodded, seemingly unsurprised, and without beating around the bush, asked, "Is Ji Jingqiu a descendant or a successor of He Donghuang?"

Lu Tong chuckled awkwardly, "What do you mean by that, Brother Qi?"

Qi Yunfei gave him a sidelong glance and said, "What's my relationship with your master? Do I not know his relationship with He Donghuang? Nevermind that, tell me, where did you guys turn up another young Taboo? Do you know that in recent times, the entire Nine Palaces and surrounding civilizations have almost turned upside down and still found no information related to Ji Jingqiu?"

Lu Tong still did not admit anything, spreading his hands innocently and righteously, "I really don't know."

Qi Yunfei paid no mind to his attempt at feigning ignorance, pondering, "Does Ji Jingqiu come from the Great Universe? Have you established contact with the other side yet?"

When it came to business, Lu Tong slowly nodded, "We have made initial contact, but it's very tenuous; we'll gradually increase our exchanges later on."

"Is it reliable?"

Lu Tong shook his head, "We will wait for Jingqiu to grow up."

Qi Yunfei nodded, "That's the correct decision."

Trusting a large and complex force is far less reliable than trusting an individual.

Qi Yunfei did not delve deeper into this issue, making his point and stopping there. He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze deep, sighing softly, "Still, we must try to accelerate our progress as much as possible..."

Lu Tong furrowed his brows, sensing the implication in his words, "Is the situation that bad?"

Qi Yunfei did not immediately answer, looking up before finally saying, "I too wish for the deterioration to slow down, and even more so, I hope the choice of your Great Red Sky Palace is the right one."

...

...

Two days later.

"Whose hands crafted this knife? Quite interesting. Although the craftsmanship is a bit shallow, many of the techniques used are fascinating, and most peculiarly, I can't discern any school or legacy the craftsman belongs to."

Xi Yezi, the forging master of the Red Bright Heavenly Palace, handed the freshly nurtured Green Master to Ji Jingqiu, asking with keen interest.

Ji Jingqiu took the Green Master, and the thought strand within it had significantly grown compared to before.

He drew the knife from its sheath, and a cold glint sparked, painfully sharp to the eyes.

"This knife was forged by an elder in my hometown when he was young."

Hearing it was a product by someone from Ji Jingqiu's homeland, Xi Yezi did not inquire any further, since the higher-ups of the Nine Palaces were aware of Ji Jingqiu's mysterious identity, brought back by the master of the Great Red Sky Palace to support their cause.
