CHAPTER 647: CHAPTER 251: SIGNING THE CONTRACT, MU FAMILY’S DIVINE WEAPON, DIVINE LORD SHALL DIE_2

This indeed gave him an inspiration.

Although the Grandmaster was absent, if Divine Weapons were set to suppress, it would likely have all Heavenly People bowing their heads.

But... with all Grandmasters needing to leave, whether the Divine Weapons could remain intact, and whether they could be freely utilized, that was a question mark.

And even if it really was necessary to deploy the Divine Weapon, he could not possibly seek out the senior [Xuan Yi].

Ji Jingqiu couldn’t help but fantasize about the possibility... of asking for the Divine Weapon left by Marshal Mu to come out of seclusion?

He pondered that once this news leaked, there could only be two possibilities between the Mu Family and him.

One was to invite the World Venerable home.

The other was to strike first for strength.

And just considering the request that Mu Chantian once made to him, hoping he could replace him in annihilating the scum of the Mu Family, Ji Jingqiu didn’t hold much hope for the current Mu Family.

[Actually, there’s another way, do you know, beneath the Four Directions God Temple, lies the biggest secret of your Federation. If you can excavate this secret, maybe you can replicate the paths of those several scoundrels and bastards.]

Regarding Lady La’s suggestion, Ji Jingqiu declined politely, turned a deaf ear, and once again entered the state of cultivation, attempting to forge a Bodhi Golden Body while accumulating Life Origin, charging towards the fifth layer of Chains.

Finally, on the eve of reaching the Four Guardian Stars, he broke free from the Chains representing the five viscera and six bowels, welcoming a major Transformation of his body.

At this step, he had already surpassed the limits of the conventional Chains Realm, stepping into another domain.

After arriving at the Four Guardian Stars, Ji Jingqiu was directly brought to the Four Directions God Temple by the Divine Temple’s dedicated staff.

Xue Xuandao was waiting outside the door for him and led him to the main entrance of the Divine Temple’s hall, then stopped and indicated that he could enter alone.

Ji Jingqiu took slow steps into the great hall, his spirit, in the first instant, stepped into another Heaven and Earth.

This was the Divine Country of the Four Directions God.

Four venerable Gods without face or form stood around him on all sides.

In addition, there was a figure with a human upper body and a snake’s lower body, wearing an imperial crown, half-hidden in scarlet mists, profound and mysterious.

"Several Divine Lords, your junior has arrived."

Ji Jingqiu finished greeting the several Divine Lords.

The Divine Lord in the east got straight to the point:

[Today, we will aid you in forging an eternal covenant with Hel, from this point forward, you will advance hand in hand, She will assist you in ascending the Dao, and in the future, you will help Her return to the Divine Throne.]

[You must always remember, although the covenant ensures that Hel will not do anything detrimental to you in any way, it does not include your active requests—]

This caught Ji Jingqiu by surprise, as the object of Hel’s contract was not the Federation, but "him."

[The covenant with Hel’s true form requires consideration of Her will, They stand atop everything, there are few who can force Them to bow their heads, or even just make a concession...]

One of the Divine Lords briefly explained.

Following that, a telepathic transmission entered Ji Jingqiu’s mind, densely packed with hundreds of thousands of various constraints, documentation...

It was startling to Ji Jingqiu.

Is this the covenant with the Wilderness Four Demons?

[Next, we will briefly explain the constraints and obligations of this contract, the obligations safeguard the interests of both sides.]

Honestly, Ji Jingqiu was somewhat surprised, because in the content of the contract, the Four Directions God had actually agreed to "release" Hel’s true form...

Was this also a concession to get Hel to agree to the contract?

Ji Jingqiu’s thoughts were complicated; the expectations of the Four Directions God for him far exceeded everything else, even more so than Hel.

Ji Jingqiu had not expected that the so-called brief explanation would take a whole week, during which time he stayed within the Divine Temple until the contract was finally established.

After the establishment of the covenant, the Hel of the Inner World seemed to have made contact with its true form, receiving some sort of response, its presence becoming ever more distant and profound.

The good news was that Ji Jingqiu didn’t have to worry about Lady La harming him for the time being; according to the contract, it’s currently a one-sided support period, only considering releasing her true form and assisting her return to the Divine Throne when Ji Jingqiu had sufficient strength.

...

...

Federation Capital.

From this top floor under their feet, with this unrivaled view, Martial Artists could easily bring most of the capital into sight.

At the moment, the room’s holographic Projection was running at full capacity. With the arrival of True Men, more than a dozen figures populated the spacious penthouse floor.

A brief meeting had already ended, and the people were discussing another matter.

"In about half a year, Ji Jingqiu has nearly reached the Extreme Realm of the Chains; he is still maintaining near early phase Breakthrough speed in this domain... His growth is too fast, beyond our expectations."

"We had already overestimated his growth speed, but it turns out... The genius of that domain from our ancestors has surpassed what we can understand."

"No worries, time is still in our hands, in the current Federation, Heavenly People are the deciding factor in everything; no matter his natural talent, he is ultimately just the foremost Hidden Dragon."

"Even if he is the foremost Hidden Dragon, without becoming a Heavenly Person, let alone entering the game, he can only become a pawn."

Someone nodded slightly,

Ji Jingqiu indeed was dazzling, the only one in the Federation’s ten-thousand-year history who could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Seven Marshals; unfortunately, he lacked the time to grow.

"That’s not quite right, I hope that during this change, Ji Jingqiu can come through unscathed, he is the Federation’s precious ’asset’," someone said evenly.

"Will he stand with us?"

"Everything can be swayed; we can attract him by enticing those around him, like using the Dragon Tiger Dojo to pull him in," someone whispered, "A person’s standing in society is like an invisible net, offering conveniences as well as constraints."
