Chapter 581: Chapter 581

"Some of the strong entities within the Three Thousand Yanfutu even capture and cultivate certain miniature universes, keeping them as garden universes."

Gu Tatian saw his gaze fall on the Cave Heaven Garden ahead and spoke indifferently.

Ji Jingqiu felt a chill in his heart.

Universes are also graded, usually based on their size and the completeness of the Heaven and Earth rules within.

The lowest are called [Planes], most of whose areas may not be as large as a single planet, and in ancient times were also known as Cave Heaven Blessed Lands.

Such Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, if they produce a Heavenly Person, would represent the pinnacle of those worlds.

Next up are cosmic dimensions.

Cosmic dimensions are further divided into medium and small.

As for the so-called sub-level universe planes...

The cosmic planes outside the Great Universe all fall into this category!

This is the supreme status conferred upon the Great Universe countless years ago, thanks to the Five Original Pillars including Cangqing and Saint King in the Divine System.

"Jing Qiu, do you know what attitude the various powers of the Three Thousand Yanfu hold towards the Great Universe soon facing the impact from the Nether Sea?"

Gu Tatian started speaking, his brows showing a stern look.

Ji Jingqiu frowned slightly: "Expectation?"

Gu Tatian said calmly: "That’s one way of putting it. The Great Universe’s standing is above all else, having been ’crafted’ too solidly. Even the strong do not qualify to shake the Great Universe, so they can only hope the Nether Sea will bring it down."

Ji Jingqiu pondered: "In their eyes, is the Great Universe like a whale?"

With one whale’s fall, myriad life thrives.

"You have the right understanding," Gu Tatian said with a profound look in his eyes, "so when the Nether Sea topples the Great Universe, that day will be when the strong divide its remains, attempting to use the debris of the Great Universe as stepping stones to ascend even higher."

Ji Jingqiu remained silent, gave no expression, and needed none.

Gu Tatian did not continue on this topic and simply touched upon it briefly.

He sized him up for a moment, saying: "Did the will of the Ancient Road help you to condense the outline of the Holy Embryo?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded, knowing he couldn’t hide in front of this senior.

"Then you must return to the Federation soon." Gu Tatian wasn’t surprised; similar incidents had been recorded in history, like that of Ming Miaoyin, who once ranked third.

He fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Donghuang had returned to the Federation several times, even when he had already stepped into the realm of Heavenly Person, yet he still ended up extremely ragged."

"I’ve summarized it for him. It’s nothing more than too many entanglements, caring too much, worrying too much, and thinking too much. With his brains, how could he possibly outwit those scheming lowlifes."

As he said this, Gu Tatian shook his head slightly; many of his current views took Donghuang’s past experiences as a lesson.

For men like them, the fewer entanglements, the more invincible.

"Remember the lessons well," Gu Tatian warned him once again, hoping Ji Jingqiu wouldn’t follow Donghuang’s old path.

When Donghuang had achieved Heavenly Person, how far had Federation Martial Arts come? Yet he still ended up wounded and returned with difficulty.

Ji Jingqiu nodded earnestly, taking note.

"Master Gu, Senior He left me a set of coordinates, stating if I fulfill a small request of his, I can receive a gift he left behind."

"Oh? Let me see the coordinates," said Gu Tatian with some interest, and casually asked, "What small request?"

"Just that, he hopes I can enter the top three of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele," Ji Jingqiu said euphemistically.

In all fairness, he hadn’t exaggerated Marshal He’s words at all; he even polished them a bit.

Marshal He’s original words were "fulfill some of his minor requests, and you can travel to the coordinates."

It must be said, when it comes to certain subtleties, the seniors have the experience.

He always felt that he lacked a bit in this area; too simple in his everyday demeanor.

"..." Gu Tatian fell silent for a moment, looking at the young man before him, feeling a familiar resemblance.

After hearing the coordinates reported by Ji Jingqiu.

Gu Tatian knitted his brows.

"Master Gu, is there some unexpected situation?" Ji Jingqiu keenly caught Gu Tatian’s unusual reaction.

Gu Tatian nodded, gravely spoke: "These coordinates are now within the territory of the Buddha Country, leaning towards the core areas. Nowadays, all major powers are deploying forces to attack the Buddha Country. You should not go there for the time being."

He shook his head: "Perhaps He did not expect that after the Mother Goddess Church’s fall, the Buddha Country would rise."

Ji Jingqiu became more solemn upon learning from Gu Tatian that, during their time on the Ancient Road, the Buddha Country had actually enticed an external enemy, opening the "portals" between the Nine States and the Nether Sea.

No wonder these folks, in this life on the Ancient Road, had been unusually low-key.

"I’ve heard Qian Chong mention, is your Innate Divine Ability particularly Divine?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded and directly condensed a Heart Lamp Seed.

Gu Tatian took the seed, his Power of the Spirit swept over it, and he slowly narrowed his eyes, giving a similar assessment to that of the will of the Ancient Road.

Then, Gu Tatian did not immediately absorb it but stored away the Heart Lamp Seed.

Ji Jingqiu felt slightly regretful.

"If it’s convenient, before you return to the Great Universe, you could leave some Heart Lamp Seeds in the Nine Palaces; it will be of some benefit to your future status in the Nine Palaces," Gu Tatian said.

Ji Jingqiu immediately perked up: "Convenient!"

He had no other intentions; he simply delighted in spreading the Heart Lamp.

"By the way, in our recent attacks against the Buddha Country, we had some unexpected findings. The Buddha Country not only has connections with certain forces within the Three Thousand Yanfu, but they are also collaborating with certain forces within the Great Universe."

"Especially one of the powers, after you return to the Great Universe, you should pay particular attention. This power is within the Federation territory, known as the ’Supreme True Buddha Sect’."
