It’s unclear how much time had passed, in this narrow domain seemingly devoid of time, sporadic areas gradually began to receive droplets of rain.
It was a deep red rain.
From the Void, it fell, irrigating the earth.
Upon returning, Ji Jingqiu was directly taken off the battlefield and returned in front of the suspended Ancient Temple.
The temple, which he had managed quite well recently, truly possessed a bit of the aura of a Holy Land.
The will of the Ancient Road did not ask Ji Jingqiu what he had seen, nor did it inquire about the soil he brought back.
Obviously, this scene was not the first occurrence; it had become commonplace.
It only reminded him, "The soil you brought back can be used to cultivate Heavenly Medicine, just a small amount can further its growth."
Ji Jingqiu immediately praised in his heart "the wisdom of the ancients."
"It is said that someone once brought back a blade of grass from there, which later grew into a World Tree, towering into the skies, supporting endless Plane Worlds."
Ji Jingqiu’s eyes widened, no wonder those bastards dug three feet into the ground!
"Soon, the Ancient Road will officially close, in the coming days, I will help you comprehend Heaven Heart, forming the embryonic form of a Spiritual Holy Embryo, the true breakthrough awaits when you return to the Great Universe and break the Chains, then continue attempting..."
The will of the Ancient Road repeatedly warned Ji Jingqiu that the breakthrough of Fetal Breathing must be done back in the Great Universe.
Ji Jingqiu inquired whether any of his junior brothers and sisters from the top ten of ages ago were still alive.
Even the will of the Ancient Road fell into a prolonged silence after hearing the words "junior brothers and sisters."
"They... perhaps some are still alive, but not many; most have withered away, or have fallen into Nirvana."
Ji Jingqiu’s gaze flickered, this entity was indeed paying attention to certain movements beyond the Ancient Road.
Perhaps in its eyes, the top ten Martial Artists of the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele were extremely significant seeds, which have the potential to blossom brightly, reversing past and future.
"Do you have any words to engrave on the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele, to leave your mark?"
At this moment, the will of the Ancient Road asked, sighing softly.
In the prime era of Emperor Heaven, the inscriptions of the top ten on the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele could become an indelible mark, a foundation for the future Dao of the Martial Artists.
Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and left a phrase.
"Time and Heavenly Destiny, forever with me."
Staring at this seemingly plain yet supremely confident phrase, the will of the Ancient Road had a profound look in its eyes, echoing in its mind was the phrase "You are already old"...
Seeing this, his previous intent became easier at this moment.
"[I had promised you before, entering the top five, I would grant you one fortune—]"
"[When you step into a Heavenly Person, as long as Emperor Heaven survives, you can return to the Nine States, I will guide you back, and then gift you some Plane Worlds, as a foundation for your Inner Heaven and Earth.]"
Ji Jingqiu was moved, this truly was a lord of the land!
Even Plane Worlds are described with "some"!
Just as Ji Jingqiu began to explore the "Heaven Heart" with the guidance of the will of the Ancient Road and form the Spiritual Holy Embryo.
The three-month period in the trial land was approaching.
All Martial Artists sequentially returned to the Ancient Road, settling their final affairs, then they would each return to the Nine States.
This journey on the Ancient Road, lasting over a year, was drawing to a close.
Senluo and others couldn’t wait for Ji Jingqiu, leaving regretfully first; the Sun and Moon Alliance still had many matters to handle, most critical among which was the "distribution" of some resources.
Such as the most precious Heavenly Medicine.
On this day, an extremely important internal meeting, led by Senluo, began within the Sun and Moon Alliance, involving the external world and their future.
