Chapter 1459: Chapter 515: Upheaval in the Netherworld, The Founding of Buddhism

The Netherworld’s two long rivers, which once made Ji Jingqiu acutely aware of his own insignificance, were now spread before him, no longer so grand and unreachable.

He forcefully stepped into the waters, charging into the Time and Destiny Rivers.

Merely entering this place, Ji Jingqiu felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had been here before.

Having once entered the Investiture of the Gods and experienced the Mother River of the Sea of Realms, he immediately recognized the aura; this was indeed the breath of the Mother River of the Sea of Realms!

The two long rivers of the Netherworld are unique because each river is equivalent to a Transcendent Divine Weapon, all due to the connection with the Origin of the Mother River.

Ji Jingqiu tread upon the waves, ripples spreading beneath his feet, sparkling in the light.

Countless Dao Patterns were born and died, intertwined within the ripples, dispersing and gathering again, stirring the calm water’s surface, allowing an ancient and desolate ambiance to fill the air, as if an immeasurable expanse of time approached.

Ji Jingqiu’s spirit involuntarily immersed itself, understanding the fundamental Dao within these two rivers.

Last time he stepped onto the Investiture of the Gods, although he grasped the aura of the Mother River, the difference in level was too great, and the insights gained were not as clear as now.

Ji Jingqiu quickly regained clarity, exiting the realm of Enlightenment, his gaze like a knife, churning the vast and boundless, endless sparkling rivers.

The stirred ripples quickly formed raging waves, a backlash spontaneously generated by the two rivers, occupying every corner of the infinite expanse.

Boom!

When the giant wave swept through, Ji Jingqiu wasn’t struck down; instead, he stood frozen in place, as if anchored deep within time and destiny.

Seemingly still at the original spot, he had actually fallen into the infinite depth of time and space, as if submerged beneath a deep sea, the immense water pressure causing his Taoist Body to creak.

Time passage didn’t exist around this place; the dark void approached chaos, yet this dark chaos froze and decomposed everything, even swiftly swallowing Dao Rhyme.

"The end of all things is chaos; the depths of time and destiny are chaos as well?"

In the frozen space-time, Ji Jingqiu slowly raised his head, eyes incessantly flowing with shimmering light, more than a mere reflection, akin to an imprint of the Tao.

In the next moment.

Golden dark ripples arose on Ji Jingqiu’s skin, resisting the oppression from all sides.

He lifted his foot, took the first step, symbolizing the breaking of this place’s restraints!

Eternal Freedom!

This is the third layer of "Infinite Path," claimed to tread the Ten Thousand Realms as if through one’s courtyard, severing karma and fate like scattered flying fluff.

Cultivated to its peak, one could even achieve "No Cause No Effect," a realm even Ancestor Shouzhen hadn’t reached.

The reason the Infinite Path Fruit was willing to favor Ji Jingqiu in the past was that Ji Jingqiu showed it a glimpse of a new future.

And now, this "new future" for the first time revealed its pattern, despite Ji Jingqiu being merely at the Divine Fruit Position.

Golden ripples spread across the Taoist Body, resisting the endless water pressure, Ji Jingqiu’s thoughts surged, reaching out as if to grasp the entire flowing river, existing between illusion and reality, within his palm!

His long, slender, white hands pierced through time and space, rising step by step from the river’s depths, as if to touch the highest point of the origin.

His long, slender, white palms pierced through time and space, climbing step by step from the depths of the river, as if at the bottom, yet grasping the river’s highest origin.

After Ji Jingqiu took action, the river initially fused from time and destiny roared and boiled even more, as if intolerant of having a living being resist them.

This time, the dark engulfing Ji Jingqiu was deeper and more terrifying!

It was akin to chaos that could swallow all, time nonexistent, destiny gone, dissolving everything back to its original form.

With a single unproductive strike, Ji Jingqiu understood that he was yet truly incapable of subduing these two rivers.

But likewise—

He slowly moved forward, a wisp of True Spirit rose high, suspended above, like hanging outside the Time River and Destiny River, no matter how they rushed or wore him away with Ten Thousand Tribulations, they couldn’t destroy his essence.

All Laws Do Not Add Up to Fearless.

Thousand Tribulations Unbroken to Prove Truth.

He couldn’t deal with it, unable to capture the true form of the river, and the river could do nothing against him now.

Fully driving the Eternal Freedom, Ji Jingqiu walked out from the river’s depths, coldly observing the river’s counterattack and rage. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Something unusual indeed occurred here; Master He’s traces were nowhere to be seen, as if not existing in the world. Similarly, he hadn’t located Taiyou Divine Lord’s whereabouts.

But the two Long Rivers of Time and Destiny, at this moment, showed signs of merging into one!

If these two rivers were allowed to combine, could it possibly reach the level of a Transcender?

Ji Jingqiu followed the origin all the way, traversing a path only an Ancient could, reaching the river’s source.

The ripples here were smallest; he sat at the source, using his body to suppress the surrounding turbulent ripples, restoring the source to tranquility, then began to unravel the Time River of the Netherworld.

"Master He couldn’t have disappeared without reason, as well as Taiyou; the Divine Artifact of the Wuque Lineage is unwilling to inform me, so I will unravel it myself."

Ji Jingqiu’s eyes bore a deep gaze, reflecting a shimmering river.

Thunderous roar!

As the Time River was shaken, the entire Netherworld trembled incessantly, as if the fundamental Dao at the deepest level had begun to waver.

Some Saints hidden within Daluo Heaven were startled, lifting their heads, looking towards the outer heaven; could it be that despite hiding all this time, that one was still unwilling to let them go?

"Cangqing God, we ought to depart!"

"Together, we shall lift Daluo Heaven; it’s time to leave the Netherworld!"
