Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1267 - 448: Nether Mansion, Netherworld

"That's right." Wu Tian recalled something and said seriously, "How should we handle the person with the Identity Token of the Nether Mansion ancestral court?"

Luo Shi said, "This person likely intends to return to the ancestral court from back then. Our Ancestor Master was once called the Realm Devourer; after achieving enlightenment, he found remnants of the Nether Mansion, including parts belonging to its ancestral court. Disciples of the Nether Mansion can use this as a guide to locate their return path."

"Should we host him?" Wu Tian frowned and asked, "Should we seek the Ancestor Master's opinion? The Ancestor Master might not be willing to see the ancestral court of the Nether Mansion return."

Luo Shi shook his head:

"It's too far, and if we send a message, the Ancestor Master might not receive it. Even if he does, we don't know when he might respond."

"Just follow Uncle Master Qin's wishes on this matter; he has just arrived at Primordial Palace, which is an important anchor point for the Ancestor Master's return, so there's no harm in following his lead. Besides..."

"It is indeed better for the ancestral court of the Nether Mansion to remain dormant."

Wu Tian suddenly asked, "Do we have any hope of finding the ancestral court of the Nether Mansion?"

The palace records indicate that even in the era when all the esteemed were alive, the ancestral court of the Nether Mansion was one of the top gates, and its master nearly opened the Dao of 'Heaven and Earth' as a Supreme.

Creating the Dao of a realm could make one the Great Dao Ancestor.

And this person attempted to create the Dao of all realms to become the Great Dao Ancestor of the world!

Back then, the esteemed joined forces to execute the master of the Nether Mansion and shattered it, but its ancestral court did not fall; instead, it was hidden by the master before his death.

If Primordial Palace could find this ancestral court, the gains would be unimaginable.

Luo Shi shook his head and said solemnly:

"Don't entertain such thoughts; it would bring disastrous consequences! Why do you think the Nether Sea found the Netherworld?"

"Accidentally? Coincidentally? It's destiny! The Nether Sea has always been searching for the Nether Mansion! Some people aren't thoroughly wiped out! Do you think the Ancestor Master didn't have similar thoughts back then?"

Wu Tian exclaimed in surprise, "Is the Nether Sea related to the Nether Mansion of the past? Wait... Could the Nether Sea be the restricted area formed by that master's remains?!"

Luo Shi was silent for a moment, then said, "The time when the Nether Sea appeared is much earlier than the death of the Nether Mansion's master. However, the Ancestor Master suspected that the master might have hidden a last resort in the Nether Sea, and there's also... Bitter Sea."

Luo Shi took a deep breath and then said, "Stop probing into this matter; knowing certain things might taint you with karma."

Wu Tian said solemnly, "Alright."

"You know how to deal with the Pantheon," Luo Shi advised, "As for the matter with the Nether Mansion's ancestral court, proceed according to Uncle Master Qin's wishes."

"Rest assured, Wu Tian has it under control." Wu Tian nodded and returned to the great hall to entertain the guests.

In the great hall.

Ji Jingqiu originally bore the identity of the chief disciple of the Heavenly King at Primordial Palace. As Wu Tian temporarily left, he had to step up, though entertaining was really not his forte; if Ji Anquan were here, he might have enjoyed such occasions.

So he learned from Wu Tian, found an excuse, and left, not forgetting to wink at his elder brother Zhang Tiancheng, signaling his focus on him.

As for what Zhang Tiancheng might speculate because of this, and his feelings, that's his own matter.

Wu Tian wasn't gone for long; he had just returned when he saw Ji Jingqiu leaving and ultimately didn't summon him back.

"Senior Wu Tian."

As thoughts flowed, a figure abruptly appeared before him.

"I come from the ancestral court of the Nether Mansion and want to borrow the Dao..."

Wu Tian interrupted directly, "Zhang, you should be well aware of the situation with the ancestral court of the Nether Mansion. Primordial Palace will not get involved in this matter."

Even with some expectations, Zhang Tiancheng's face inevitably turned somewhat unpleasant.

He said solemnly, "I implore you to let me meet with your Palace's Ancestor Master directly; the ancestral court of the Nether Mansion comes with sincerity this time. Not to hide from you, senior, our branch produced a second Transcender two eras ago."

Wu Tian's expression subtly changed; indeed, two eras ago there was a Transcender born, yet it's unheard of being related to the Nether Mansion's ancestral court...

Moreover, Zhang Tiancheng's words were quite obscure and ambiguous, what does it mean to have produced a second Transcender?

Was the first the fallen master of the Nether Mansion, or have they already possessed two Transcenders besides that master?!

Whichever it is, these guys must have been conspiring for a long time!

Upon thinking this, Wu Tian's dread of the remnants of the Nether Mansion deepened.

These schemers are surely plotting something significant and Primordial Palace is utterly unsuitable to partake in it!

Wu Tian resolutely said, "There's no need; Uncle Master Qin has already expressed that he doesn't want to see you!"

Zhang Tiancheng deeply glanced at Wu Tian and calmly said, "The ancestral court holds no intent to revisit past affairs, but the Netherworld will inevitably return to its rightful place. It's better for Primordial Palace not to have too much contact with the Netherworld."

Wu Tian's expression turned cold: "Are you threatening me? Believe me, I won't let you walk out that door."

Zhang Tiancheng's expression turned equally cold: "Daring to come means I'm prepared to leave safely."

Wu Tian wasn't angry but laughed, revealing a set of sharp white teeth, "Very well, you'd better not appear in Primordial Palace again, this is advice from a fellow Transcendence Gate!"

Zhang Tiancheng expressionlessly turned to leave.

He appeared composed, but his heart had sunk infinitely.

The quickest path to the ancestral court is ultimately out of their reach, and the one disrupting everything is most likely that Yanhuang Federation kid!

Right now, Zhang Tiancheng wished he could immediately contact his gate and entirely purge the Netherworld, especially to extricate this thorn from the Yanhuang Federation!

"Seems like your plan has failed."

A mocking tone sounded, and a vague silhouette emerged beside Zhang Tiancheng, drawing Wu Tian's attention.

Wu Tian looked over again, frowning, the Dao Rhyme fluctuating from this...

Probably only by employing the methods left by the Ancestor Master can this person be captured!

This person has reached the end of the True Saint Domain!

Zhang Tiancheng said expressionlessly, "You could use your way, like directly breaking in and seizing."

Heavenly Dome Taoist coldly laughed, "You want me to break in? Well, I won't fulfill your wish; you can think how you might restore the scant trust I have left in you."

Zhang Tiancheng didn't look pleased; no one could have guessed Ji Jingqiu would appear in Primordial Palace, leading to the complete failure of this plan.

As he happened to leave this hall.

From the depths of Primordial Palace, a peculiar sun seemed to rise, with divine radiance infused with transcendent charm, resembling a realm of Pure Land Immortals, or like the cosmos's origin, independent in the universe, surrounding a blurred figure.

Everyone looked up, piercing through its reality, yet still couldn't clearly discern that figure.

"True Realm...?"

"Someone at Primordial Palace is breaking through to Heavenly Monarch?!"

"Indeed, what good fortune."

Wu Tian was also amazed for a moment, realizing the breakthrough was Ji Jingqiu, his heart clicked in wonder.

This kid has been leveraging Uncle Master Qin's privileges recently, delving into many notes left by the Ancestor Master and insights on the Dao.

Unexpectedly, at this moment of 'building up and releasing,' he made a fresh breakthrough!

Now, in the depths of Primordial Palace, the star river glitters like a thin mist, sacred and radiant Dao Rhyme flows, faintly echoing tides, mirroring the projection of the Dao Sea.

Those present were connoisseurs who immediately discerned the true meaning of 'Heaven and Earth Creation' and creation among this, nothing akin to mundane objects.

Zhang Tiancheng paused and looked back, and his unpleasant expression gave way to a heavy heart.

This boy is rising...far too quickly!

Faster than He Donghuang and others back then, nearly unstoppable!

They can't delay any longer; they must act!

Thinking of this point.

Zhang Tiancheng no longer hesitated, turned to leave, only to bump into an incoming group.

"Get out of the way."

Leading was a red-haired woman, with hair flying, astonishingly curved, a red dress couldn't hide it, her aura cold but mixed with that bright charming face, a kind of allure indescribable.

But although beautiful, her words were icy and unkind.

Enduring two insults in a day, Zhang Tiancheng glared angrily and hadn't spoken yet before a wave of True Saint-level energy swept him aside like falling leaves in autumn or trash.

This group, without anyone to greet them, entered the mountain gate of Primordial Palace unimpeded, as if in uninhabited territory.

The red-haired woman looked toward the depths of Primordial Palace, her gaze flickering: "Master Mu, could this person be the one the Ancestor Master ordered us to find?"

The man beside her shook his head, "Creating the 'True Realm' signifies only a novice Heavenly Monarch, still beneath the Ancestor Master's notice."
