Chapter 1452: Chapter 513: The Bitter Sea Is the Nether Sea, Buddhism to Be Established_2

Jing Qiu took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean, how can there be two Nether Seas and two Bitter Seas in the human world?"

Dou Mu calmly said, "It’s simple, because the Eye of the Bitter Sea suppressed by the Netherworld does not belong to our realm. A hundred eras ago, the Heavenly Court, which ruled Heaven and Earth with the Divine Dao, was struck by a great calamity because someone released the Silence Tide and the Bitter Sea into our realm."

"Returning to Truth Land?!" Jing Qiu blurted out.

"Exactly." Dou Mu’s voice was indifferent, "The Nether Sea is filled with the hopes and expectations of sentient beings, whereas the Bitter Sea is the product of the human heart descending all the way down, the ultimate degradation of the Nether Sea."

"Back then, the Nether Sea of Returning to Truth Land reached an extreme and led to the Great Destruction of Returning to Truth Land. Eventually, they thought of a way, which was to introduce the Eye of the Bitter Sea into our realm."

"The Heavenly Court of those days had no means to suppress the Bitter Sea?" Jing Qiu asked gravely.

With the strength of the Heavenly Court back then, how could the Bitter Sea erupt unchecked?

In other words, if the Divine Dao had truly been defeated by the Bitter Sea back then, why does today’s Heavenly Court turn a blind eye to the Bitter Sea?

Doesn’t Dou Mu fear repeating history, history repeating itself?

Dou Mu paused for a moment and then calmly said, "We’ll discuss this when you return. It’s just as well, I have some matters to discuss with you. Now the Heavenly Court is entirely at war and you haven’t shown up for a long time. Later, it will be difficult to win people’s hearts."

Jing Qiu was silent for a moment as well, "Alright, I’ll hurry."

As Dou Mu’s will departed.

Jing Qiu, along with two others in the Inner Universe, sliced open the confidential conversation with a sword.

Even the true form of Sword Light did not know this.

The Bitter Sea is the future Nether Sea—

This astonishing news overturned the understanding of Hel and Wuzhou.

"The Bitter Sea is the future Nether Sea..." Hel muttered, "No wonder the Nether Sea has become increasingly turbid in recent years, especially the area below the Abyss Zone, the environment has become more and more severe, is it a sign of the Bitter Sea’s fall?"

Wuzhou suddenly said, "If the Nether Sea is falling toward the Bitter Sea, perhaps the root of Emperor Yi preventing you from harmonizing with the Nether Sea has been found. Jing Qiu, the reason why the Nether Sea favors you is that you can slow down the deterioration of the Nether Sea."

Jing Qiu said, "I need to return to the Heavenly Court, to see if I can get more information from Dou Mu."

This first conversation with Emperor Yi ended in a deadlock.

Yet the warfare in the Sea of Realms never ceased.

Decades of war flames never stopped for a moment, the Heavenly Court arose from nothing, using itself as a center to radiate outward, gradually devouring dozens of realms nearby, even including a Pseudo Transcendent Divine Court!

The top Divine being that harmonized with One Realm had not yet made a move, but was forcefully pulled from the Dao by some unknown method of the Heavenly Court, falling back to the True Saint level.

The continuous war revealed the depth beneath the iceberg hidden above the Heavenly Court.

Led by the Heavenly Prison Palace, the Gate gradually discovered that the Heavenly Court’s True Saints seemed to die endlessly!

In terms of absolute strength, each family joining forces far surpassed the Heavenly Court, but the astounding "resilience" exhibited by the Heavenly Court chilled the hearts of all sides.

For decades, the allied Gates had joined forces to besiege no fewer than a hundred True Saints of the Heavenly Court, yet not less but more True Saints appeared in the Heavenly Court.

Moreover, as they occupy more and more realms, the strength of the Heavenly Court rises accordingly, causing the previously wavering Gates to enter the fray one after another, with the intensity of the war constantly escalating!

...

On this day.

Jing Qiu returned to the Heavenly Court and was greeted first by Luo Xuan, also freshly returned, reeking of blood.

"World Venerate Ji, it’s been a long time since we’ve met, what a pity you didn’t join the battle at the Heavenly Prison Palace."

This one wore a pitch-black long robe and had evidently risen to high status within the Heavenly Court, now only under the Five Directions and Five Emperors, and no longer a "protector" of Ksitigarbha.

Jing Qiu could see at a glance the intricate, dense karmic bloodlines entangled with this person.

His burden of slaughter was enough to make those of the same level keep their distance.

Jing Qiu calmly said, "You were willing to pay the price, actively leading the army to attack the ’Heavenly Prison Palace’, are you sure that when your brother returns, he won’t punish you?"

Luo Xuan chuckled lightly and said breezily, "World Venerate doesn’t understand my brother. When he returns and learns of what I’ve done, he certainly won’t let me off lightly."

"And yet you dare act so?"

"Everything is for the Heavenly Court!" Luo Xuan’s expression turned solemn.

Jing Qiu looked deeply at him.

It is said that those who achieve great things can bend and stretch, and this one can do more than just bend and stretch.

Jing Qiu did not waste words with him and left directly, following a Star Monarch towards the Heavenly Emperor’s Palace.

Luo Xuan followed behind, having also been summoned by Dou Mu, chatting with Jing Qiu along the way about the wars of these years.

Decades of battle with hundreds of True Saints fallen on both sides, the Heavenly Court suffered the most, yet it was of least consequence.

As for Luo Xuan, his abundant achievements have already won over some of the elders of the Heavenly Court.

"Where is Red Lotus now?"

Jing Qiu suddenly asked.

Luo Xuan’s eyes flickered and he laughed, "That fellow has been avoiding us, hiding deep, we haven’t had time to look for her."

At this moment, the two arrived at Dou Mu’s palace.

After decades of absence.

Her aura became increasingly simple and pure, nearly void, approaching the essence of Dao itself.

And upon seeing Dou Mu for the first time, Jing Qiu’s expression grew solemn.

Her every move now seemed to orchestrate the entire Heavenly Court’s Dao, the depth of her Daoist career could be described as unfathomable!

Emperor Yi was not mistaken; as the Heavenly Court becomes increasingly strong, she, as the Lord of Heaven, reaps the greatest benefits.
