Chapter 569: Chapter 569
"Already at least top three..." someone murmured, looking towards Gu Tatian and Qi Yunfei.
Previously, when Gu Tatian spoke of being top three, it provoked a round of silent ridicule among the crowd, yet no one expected that this young man would truly enter the top three.
And to defeat Ming Miaoyin of the Divine Travel Realm in such a dominant manner!
Now that He Donghuang, ranked second, is "absent," doesn’t that leave only one person in front of him?!
If he defeats Ning Mingsheng, the last challenger, this young man will be first on the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele, looking down upon all the youths in the Nine States throughout history!
Someone whispered, "In the past, it was said that Ming Miaoyin possessed the capability to cross the Heavenly Human Boundary. Now that Ji Jingqiu can contend with her, does it not imply that a future Divine Prohibition will emerge?"
The Heavenly Human Boundary is also known as the God-Human Boundary.
The gap between Heart Image and Heavenly Person, this first layer of barriers, is even greater than the gap from Body Refining to Heart Image.
This is also why Heavenly Human Martial Artists, regardless of their power and station, can enter the upper realms.
Crossing this realm, one’s heart becomes boundless, Dharma becomes immeasurable, and Heaven and Earth become infinite.
In any world, such an individual is akin to a Resident Immortal Buddha.
Even before, simply by advancing in Chains and Heart Image with no further breakthroughs and treading the conventional path to Heart Image, Ji Jingqiu and Ming Miaoyin already qualified to enter "Divine Prohibition" and shatter the God-Human Boundary!
Which is to say, they challenged the Heavenly Human Boundary across realms!
This challenge, nearly impossible, is the best reward for their achievements.
Even the two individuals before had the strength to press down on late-stage Chains and confront ordinary Heart Image Warriors.
Someone sighed, "Is the Divine Prohibition domain important to Ji Jingqiu? Ordinary people might be stuck at the Heavenly Human Boundary for a hundred or even a thousand years, but for him, possessing the Heaven and Earth Dojo, he can smoothly enter Heart Image soon after and seamlessly transition into the Heavenly Person Domain."
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
Indeed, that was the truth.
Today, this young man stood tall in the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele’s top ten arenas relying on the Heaven and Earth Dojo.
In the future, he will still rely on the Heaven and Earth Dojo to easily step into the Heavenly Human Boundary that others can only dream of.
This is the Heavenly Pride at the forefront for ten thousand years.
"Could this young man truly have the chance to ascend to first place on the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele?" Some people couldn’t help but think this after witnessing Ji Jingqiu’s strong victory over Ming Miaoyin.
"But how can he win?" someone asked in a low voice, their gaze shifting towards Gu Tatian’s location, "Perhaps even Gu Tatian himself doesn’t believe his own nephew can win, right?"
Qi Yunfei was communicating with Gu Tatian through a voice transmission.
"Tatian, what do you think are Jing Qiu’s chances of defeating Ning Mingsheng?"
Gu Tatian took a long time to respond, his brows furrowed as he recalled the terror of the last person while looking at the figure of the young man in the water screen projection.
His previous best prediction was a "mentor-disciple battle" between Ji Jingqiu and He, where they would clash fiercely.
"Ning Mingsheng... this person is nearly a demigod at the Divine Travel Realm." Gu Tatian sighed.
"Ji, I wish you good luck."
Ming Miaoyin’s soft and gentle well-wishing echoed in Ji Jingqiu’s ear as he stepped onto the next battlefield.
Along the Ancient Road, countless Martial Artists held their breath in focus, witnessing through Ji Jingqiu’s perspective a grand hall at the end of the road.
The Divine Temple stood tall and majestic, akin to the Pantheon where all Gods clashed.
To enter this temple was like embarking on a pilgrimage.
For the vast majority in the Nine States, let alone setting foot in this hall, just seeing the top ten arenas was a witness to history.
Ji Jingqiu’s expression remained calm; at this moment, no ripples could stir in his heart, truly as calm as still water.
If one harbors an unwavering belief in being supreme, "I Am Supreme," then no matter who the foe is, one can look down upon them.
He ascended the steps, entering the empty Divine Temple.
In the depths of the great hall stood a figure in green robes.
The person at the far end of the hall had a youthful, almost tender, face – a handsome teenager with delicate features showing shyness, who could imagine that this seemingly fragile youth stood atop the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele for over a million years without ever being replaced?
The Primordial First of the Nine States.
As Ning Mingsheng raised his eyes to look over, lightning seemed to spark in the void, as if his gaze left marks in the air.
Those who had never seen Ning Mingsheng’s elegance were shocked by this sight; with just a casual glance, the void bore traces, which is almost at the level of a Heavenly Person. With mere gestures, one could influence the movement of Heaven and Earth.
The moment their gazes met, Ji Jingqiu felt as though the surrounding Heaven and Earth had vanished.
It was as if the entire universe had been reduced to nothing but the opponent’s eyes.
His brain entered an instant of blankness, as if forcibly stripped of all reason, thought, and even soul.
In a daze, Ji Jingqiu saw behind the other, a dazzlingly brilliant Divine Embryo floating in the void.
Within, a majestic and resplendent Divine Spirit now opened its eyes, gazing at Ji Jingqiu through the void.
How bright, profound, and authoritative was that pair of eyes?
Completely unlike the youth’s simple innocence, it was like a dragon ascending to the heavens, and like a fierce dragon emerging from the sea – authoritative, detached, and I Am Supreme.
In an instant, Ji Jingqiu wrested back control of himself, the runes of Dharma in his eyes flickering rapidly, pushing the Bodhi Eye to its limit.
He wanted to peer into the opponent’s very core, especially that ephemeral glimpse of the Divine Embryo.
This person seemed to possess two sides.
One side pure-hearted and untainted by dust;
The other side almost god-like, undying, and untouchable.
"A pure heart engenders light from all dust..." someone spoke softly, their voice filled with indescribable solitude.
As the familiar figure emerged above the water screen projection, most people fell into silence, their gazes towards the projection complicated, predominantly filled with disgust and hatred, yet not lacking in admiration.
