Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 528 - 221: Three Thousand Yama of the Nether Sea

Using the Nether Sea as a path, Ji Jingqiu had learned from Hel’s description long before.

Should he step into Fetal Breathing, once the Holy Embryo is formed and resonates with Heaven and Earth, he can pry open the portals of other dimensional universes using the Nether Sea as a path, descending in spirit alone to seize cultivation resources—

And if he could step into the Heavenly Person, he would even be able to physically traverse the Nether Sea and directly use it as a path to enter other dimensional cosmic planes.

Are the Three Thousand Yanfu of the Nether Sea referring to the powerhouses of these dimensional cosmic planes?

Ji Jingqiu earnestly sought guidance.

["The composition of the Three Thousand Yanfu of the Nether Sea is quite complex. Some are Nether Sea creatures that were born from the Nether Sea itself, boasting to be Holy Spirits."]

["Some are small plane worlds that drift around the Nether Sea, tainted by its Qi, turning to be followers of the Nether Sea, currently not seen by the Nether Sea as targets or threats."]

["There are also remnants of cosmic civilizations like ours that were devoured by the Nether Sea, hiding in its shadows, desperately clinging to survival."]

["Most, however, are from other dimensional cosmic planes, also qualifying to face the invasion of the Nether Sea, but geographically, they all come after the Great Universe, hence the Nether Sea poses no threat to them for now."]

["Every time a universe plane of higher rank is devoured, they would become the vanguard of the Nether Sea, pillaging and invading all realms for their creation, to fill themselves."]

Ji Jingqiu frowned and asked, "Can one really cling to life just by hiding in the shadows of the Nether Sea?"

In his understanding, the Nether Sea should be without will, treating all creatures equally, with no concept of protection or lack thereof.

If one could avoid disaster simply by hiding in the shadows of the Nether Sea, then Emperor Heaven would not have been destroyed back in the day.

["The Nether Sea is unpredictable; it’s rumored that they signed pacts with the Nether Sea creatures, receiving early warnings to avoid catastrophe. No one knows what kind of price they’ve paid to become the claws and lackeys of the Nether Sea creatures."]

Ji Jingqiu fell silent, having gained an initial understanding of these beings.

The Nether Sea is a public portal; anyone can use it to travel to other planes.

In essence, invading other worlds in search of fortune cannot be judged; powerful beings at a certain level will choose to roam all realms in search of opportunities for the Dao.

Nothing to criticize, merely each finding their own path, each seeking their own survival.

As expected, the Great Universe will also face the plunder and invasion of all realms in the future.

Once he steps into the Heavenly Person, he too will reciprocate and set foot in all realms.

["The Nether Sea is approaching the Great Universe. This time, there’s no second Emperor Heaven to fend off the calamity with their body. The Great Cataclysm of the Nether Sea will surely come, and then, like in days of old, they will invade and plunder the Great Universe."]

["When you return to the Great Universe, you will surely encounter them in the future, so for you, this will be a good practice, allowing you to experience some of the methods of inherited civilizations in advance."]

Ji Jingqiu asked, "Senior, are these cosmic civilizations very strong? How do they compare to the Overlord Level forces of the Nine States?"

["Some are indeed very strong, the strongest races in their respective worlds; otherwise, they wouldn’t have the chance to cling to life. Those living in the Nether Sea, their strength lies in their use of the Nether Sea’s power, such as Deceit Fog, or even higher-grade Nether Sea Black Fog!"]

["This is an irremediable tactic..."]

At this point, the will of the Ancient Road paused, adding,

["Only a few special methods can suppress it."]

["Among the Three Thousand Yanfu, what you need to watch out for are some who consider themselves predators, beings at the top of the food chain, absorbed in the glory of countless years of pillage and aggression against numerous cosmic planes, especially those Nether Sea Holy Spirits."]

Ji Jingqiu’s gaze grew profound.

Just from the description, one could imagine those creatures living in the Nether Sea, borrowing its power, how lofty they must be.

In their eyes, all Ten Thousand Realms are probably mere fodder.

"Senior, I dare to ask, if I were to challenge the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele now, which tier could I enter?" Ji Jingqiu shifted the topic and asked.

["It’s hard to conclude. But you should be able to rank within the top thirty. Once you have completed the trial land, your ranking will be even higher. The specific ranking depends on combat, too many variables affect it."]

Ji Jingqiu knew very well, martial artists who could enter the top thirty must have forged their own invincible path, just as he opened the Physical Body Divine Store in the Divine Travel Realm.

He wonders what kind of path these martial artists have forged in the Divine Travel Realm.

"May I ask, how will this second phase of the trial be conducted?" Ji Jingqiu inquired.

In the final trial land, only ten thousand from each battle zone can partake, and each trial involves exploring relics, among other things.

And only those who make it to the end can step on the path to challenge the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele.

He felt this time would be quite different from before, as there were external enemies invading, all of whom were the arch-enemies of Emperor Heaven.

["This trial will mainly involve hunting. For each of Emperor Heaven’s enemies killed, you will receive a trace of Ancient Road Origin as a gift."]

"Ancient Road Origin?!" Ji Jingqiu exclaimed, "Senior, by taking out such a thing, how will the Ancient Road continue to exist?"

If he was not mistaken, the will of the Ancient Road was equivalent to those World Origins, key to the survival of the Ancient Road.

["There won’t be a future. This generation will be the last Chapter. With the Nether Sea’s invasion, this Ancient Road, which has lasted for countless years, will also be destroyed."]

The will of the Ancient Road said calmly,

["I hope you can seize this last opportunity, use the Ancient Road as a path to enter the ultimate Holy Land, Wuwang Mountain. This passage that leads directly to Wuwang Mountain is the greatest gift left by the Emperor Heaven Gods of yesteryears!"]

The last Chapter... shall indeed be the last splendid curtain fall!
