The last meeting with Ji Jingqiu, if we exclude the great battle with the Federation, can be traced back to the scheming in Yanfu State.

It was a strategic layout aimed at Hel, intending to have Ji Jingqiu seize part of Hel’s Divine Foundation as an opportunity.

Once successful, it could be used as a base, gradually paving the way to acquire all authority from Hel.

At that time, even setting aside the advantages for the Federation, merely speaking of Hel’s Dao Foundation complementing the World Venerable Lineage, with the understanding of both paths, it would establish the foundation for Ji Jingqiu’s enlightenment.

If Ji Jingqiu truly took this step.

The situation today might be vastly different.

"... Ji, have you accepted the Divine Dao Forgiveness from the Heavenly Court?"

Ji Tianxing’s expression was solemn. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The person in front of him had undoubtedly reached the level of the True Saint Peak.

The terrifying Qi, merely by standing here, forced him to detach from the realm of Outer Heaven and Earth within himself!

Just then, Ji Tianxing’s face abruptly changed, and he instinctively took a step back.

An unprecedented sense of oppression descended upon his mind!

In his sensing, it was akin to a breath sharpened to the extreme, condensing into a weapon that cut through layers of the Void, illuminating the boundless darkness, arriving in an instant directed straight to his brow, impossible to resist, difficult to evade!

The worst scenario?

A grim premonition arose in Ji Tianxing’s heart.

Ji Jingqiu had completely devoted himself to the Heavenly Court, accepted the forgiveness, and turned against them?

Moreover, the Divine Dao Forgiveness mentioned by Emperor Yi seemed somewhat too bizarre!

Ji Jingqiu recently had only reached Heavenly Venerable, and now he had attained the True Saint Peak, just the oppressive Qi making it hard for him to muster fighting spirit after seizing the Heavenly Demon Dao Fruit!

Inside the chariot, Ji Jingqiu’s indifferent voice could be heard:

"Uncle Ji indeed knows quite a bit."

"But why never share it with the Federation?"

With Qi locked on him, Ji Tianxing realized that escaping seemed impossible at this moment.

Ji Jingqiu had already sealed the surrounding Void and seemed very familiar with Wuzhou’s Vacuum Heavenly Demon Path, specifically targeting it, leaving him with no escape route in the short term.

Upon realizing this, Ji Tianxing felt extremely complicated.

How short a time had passed, and He Donghuang’s descendant had grown to a point of cornering and hunting him.

Now Ji Jingqiu was questioning him for not sharing information with the Federation, causing him to mistakenly enter the Heavenly Court...

"Certain secrets, fewer people knowing is safer."

Ji Tianxing’s expression remained calm while secretly seeking an opportunity to escape, and suddenly his eyes flickered:

"Wonder how long Ji has been here?"

Was he here when he pondered and reviewed, or had he arrived early during the dialogue with Ji Linyuan?

"To this day, Uncle Ji still needs to keep secrets?"

Ji Jingqiu spoke lightly.

Facing this uncle, who had once caused Master He so much trouble, he was not prepared to follow the other’s lead in conversation.

"When did Uncle Ji team up with Emperor Yi?"

Marshal Ji knew too much, and even matters unknown to other Transcendence Gates were known, imagining the collaborator.

Ji Jingqiu discovered this man was skilled at turning foes into allies, deeply understanding that an enemy’s enemy is a friend, teaming up with Taiyi and Emperor Yi consecutively.

"Never teamed up; Emperor Yi considers us beneath him." Ji Tianxing said self-deprecatingly, "He merely threw out information regarding the Heavenly Court, sending us scrambling to verify, and plot a breakthrough."

"Has Uncle Ji found a way to break through over the years?"

Ji Tianxing looked deeply at Ji Jingqiu: "There is. As long as someone in this era breaks through into transcendence. Seven saints are less than one Transcendent."

Ji Jingqiu calmly stated: "That indeed is a surprise to me. Uncle Ji even turns himself into a pawn, originally thinking the ’one person’ in this phrase referred to Uncle Ji."

Ji Tianxing was dazed for a moment, then shook his head: "I have no chance of breaking into transcendence in this era."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly said: "Vacuum Heavenly Demon Path, I should know better than you, Uncle. Some pointless attempts shouldn’t continue. It cost me quite an effort to find you; how could I let you escape?"

Because in his Inner Universe sat the founder himself.

Even though Ji Tianxing seized the Heavenly Demon Dao Fruit and was remarkably talented, mastering to the level of Wuzhou in a mere hundred years was impossible.

Ji Tianxing’s heart sank limitlessly: "Ji came today, to aid Heavenly Court in locating Emperor Yi’s whereabouts?"

He deemed himself not yet in the spotlight, far from becoming a thorn in the Heavenly Court’s eyes.

Then Ji Jingqiu’s purpose today could only be to trace Emperor Yi’s location through him, possibly even...

Seeking personal vendetta?

Feeling Ji Jingqiu’s Qi once more, Ji Tianxing realized this nephew came well-prepared.

Ji Jingqiu still didn’t answer but instead asked:

"I heard Uncle joined hands with Taiyi to attack Taiyou Divine Lord; was Emperor Yi involved?"

Ji Tianxing was silent for a moment, then said: "It’s related to Donghuang. The main body in the River of Destiny was Taiyou; I severely injured its clone to weaken its Dao Power."

"I heard Master He and that Human World’s Tao Struggle, outsiders cannot intervene."

Ji Tianxing said indifferently: "I didn’t directly interfere with their struggle."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, considering such a clever tactic.

"What does Emperor Yi seek, to reclaim the Heavenly Emperor’s seat?"

"Not just that; he’s seeking the Other Shore’s location. Moreover, Netherworld Lord’s Fruit Position is also what he desires."

After Ji Jingqiu caught his covert escape attempt, Ji Tianxing responded very candidly, telling all.
