Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 938 341: Karmic Fire Consumes the Body, Refining Wuzhou

Hel left his Inner Realm for the second time, projecting outside, and looked at Wuzhou, who was engulfed in karmic fire, unable to escape, with a half-smile, half-sneer."Nothing to say upon meeting an old acquaintance?"

Wuzhou looked at her deeply and suddenly asked, "When did he replace his true self?"

"Not long ago." Hel said with a playful smile, "After something happened over at the Nine States, I let him rush to near the Gusu Star via the road opened by the will of the Ancient Road."

"As for deceiving your eyes?"

"You've somewhat overestimated your 'eyes'."

Wuzhou squinted. After discovering that Hel was assisting Ji Jingqiu, he deduced a lot of crucial information, but it was already too late.

He didn't say much; the pain of being burnt by the karmic fire would multiply infinitely with time, and even he wouldn't last long.

At this moment, his countenance was undergoing a thousand changes, each face extremely sinister, as if countless resentful souls bound within him were trying to break free.

All of a sudden.

Wuzhou saw Hel holding a small person in her hand, tormenting it carelessly, treating it with utter disregard.

His face suddenly darkened: "You should know what my taboo is!"

"Taboo? Are you referring to him or freedom?" Hel shook the little Wuzhou in her hand mockingly, "Wuzhou, are you discussing taboos with me now?"

Wuzhou stared coldly at her.

Suddenly, he laughed and said, "Rest assured, I have handled your Divine Country well; it's just that I'm restricted by the Divine Throne, so I could only taste a little."

Even though Hel had already anticipated this, her gaze at this moment was still as cold as a knife.

"No rush, Wuzhou, the accounts between us will be settled one by one."

Hel's tone gradually resumed to calm and composed from word by word, her demeanor once again lazy and noble, with no signs of losing composure.

Watching the projection circling around Ji Jingqiu, Wuzhou mockingly said:

"Have these ten thousand years in the Yanhuang Federation made you completely degenerate?"

"Degenerate? Being constantly around a World Venerable, observing Dao this way, was this not your desire in the past?" Hel said with a half-smile, half-sneer, "Why, just because Mu Shitian refused you, did you come to hate because of love?"

Wuzhou said coldly: "If he won't give it, I'll take it myself."

Hel nodded: "I said the same with Ji Jingqiu, he needs the remnants of your Formless Heavenly Demon Technique, the Illusion Dao Fruit, to split into the Illusion Dao—if you won't give it, we'll take it ourselves."

Wuzhou, instead of being angry, laughed: "Cherish the time you have to retaliate, next time we meet, I hope you'll still be as certain of victory as today."

Hel suddenly sneered coldly:

"No need to try, burned by the karmic fire, unless your true self goes mad, it's absolutely impossible to receive your transmitted message. Additionally, I've made some preparations to ensure this clone of yours can't convey messages to your true self."

"When you lose, you have to accept it, isn't that what you always said back then?"

"By the way, let me thank you on behalf of Ji Jingqiu; with this clone of yours, he can digest it for a long time, significantly saving his Heavenly Person Period's accumulation."

"Hmm, speaking of which, we can still get along for quite a while, depending on how long Ji Jingqiu needs for the fire; at minimum, a few months."

Wuzhou said coldly, "Why didn't I notice before that you could talk so much, seems like these ten thousand years have indeed changed you a lot, or perhaps it's only this clone of yours?"

Hel giggled: "Being able to admire you roasted for a few months, don't say it's just me, even the other two guys would be interested."

Wuzhou no longer spoke, closing his eyes.

Endless karmic fire burned fiercely, he was suppressing it with all his might, as long as he found a small breach, today's battle wouldn't be over.

But Hel did not intend to let him off like this, bombarding him with words, also torturing the little Wuzhou in her hand, persuading him to surrender himself, to stop resisting, and surrender to imprisonment...

This stalemate continued for over a month.

Until one day, Ji Jingqiu suddenly opened his eyes, and the Bodhi Tree behind him suddenly surged, sending down an endless Glazed Glass Light, sealing the weakened Wuzhou into his body!

As the karmic fire enveloping him surged again, Ji Jingqiu continued his cultivation.

With the swaying Bodhi Tree at his back, the Dao Fruit at the top rolled and became increasingly brilliant, refined, while another incomplete and illusory Dao Fruit silently got partly restored, then began to split.

This cultivation, using Wuzhou as Great Medicine, was far from over.

He still needed to disassemble the Illusion Dao, integrating it into his own Dao Establishment Divine Ability.

The saying goes: by observing a spot, understand its whole; from glimpsing an icicle at the eave, discern the winter's chill.

Next, it would be much easier for him to pave his own Illusion Dao.

Once Wuzhou was absorbed by the Bodhi Tree inside the Inner World, things became much simpler.

With the help of the Bodhi Tree, Hel completed the suppression of Wuzhou with a full victory stance.

"You've gained another brother." Hel said with a chuckle, patting the little Wuzhou on the head.

Then, with a serious expression, Hel began searching through Wuzhou's many memories.

Though, as expected, most important memories were either cut off or sealed, Hel still managed to extract some parts she needed.

Among them, there were parts related to the impending bottom-level rule upheaval.

"I said we would meet soon again."

Wuzhou, struggling to the last moment, said in a chilling tone, and then as if he lost his final breath support, he was refined by Ji Jingqiu, his whole being turned into the karmic fire, and the vast Dao Rhyme poured out to support Ji Jingqiu's cultivation.

Hel's face remained expressionless.

The memories of Wuzhou enabled her to find some answers, and as for the forthcoming "feast", it seemed intended for her by Wuzhou.

This made Hel frown deeply.

In these memories, Ji Tianxing had been surprisingly captured in collaboration by Wuzhou and 01!

In the memories Wuzhou left, with the help of 01, Ji Tianxing was partially assimilated by Wuzhou.

Full assimilation was only a matter of time!

Wuzhou had extracted some key memories related to the Yanhuang Federation from Ji Tianxing, such as the Near Tao Land under the Four Guardian Stars.

The conflict between these two pieces of information left Hel somewhat hesitant at the moment.

Near Tao Land?

Could the Eye of Sea of Suffering also count as Near Tao Land?

It seems so, but it certainly isn't the Near Tao Land they sought!

This was clearly a pit that Ji Tianxing dug, waiting for Wuzhou and his companions to jump into.

But the problem is... 01 is involved in this!

Even if Ji Tianxing had a Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, it was impossible to conceal anything from the authority of 01!

The latter could truly see and know the "whole"!

Hel suddenly looked up, what new invention is this kid making?

Watering karmic fire with the Bitter Sea's water?

Refining Wuzhou with karmic fire and assimilating it into Ji Jingqiu's plan?

But in the end.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly had a whimsical idea.

What would happen if the Bitter Sea Water met the Endless Karmic Fire?

Would the two conflict, causing the karmic fire to extinguish, the Bitter Sea to vaporize, or would it fuel the fire, burning it more fiercely, could the karmic fire ignite the Bitter Sea Water?

He appeared in his Inner World, covered in karmic fire, stepping out of the Pure Land, bathing in the illusory rain of the Bitter Sea.

But unexpectedly, the karmic fire didn't extinguish, nor did it ignite further, instead, the drenched Bitter Sea Water became clear and transparent upon passing through the karmic fire.

Looking at the clear and transparent Bitter Sea Water in his palm, Ji Jingqiu was silent for a long time.

Was this the root that Master Mu used to evoke the karmic fire of all beings, supporting the All Worlds Suffering Sea back then?
