Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 130: Divine Powers Shining Through the Wall, the Appearance of All Living Things (Two in One)

Lou Qinglan took a deep breath, sat in her seat, closed her eyes, and pressed the projection button. The next moment, the scenery in the office changed and she appeared in a large conference hall.

Around the oval round table, more than a dozen company directors took their seats one by one.

The meeting procedures were projected into the air one by one, and the meeting began as the clock on the wall struck zero.

At this internal board meeting, more than a dozen directors took only a dozen minutes to decide on 37 strategic adjustments and business changes involving the company's major financial directions.

It was not until near the end that the topic that Lou Qinglan cared about most was discussed.

"...Shenwei Giant Company is willing to pay the above price in exchange for the right to use the 199-Shentong Zhaobi for ten years."

"I disagree!"

Lou Qinglan said coldly, with uncontrollable anger bursting out of his tone.

199-The magical wall was the last thing her parents sent back to the company before they lost their way.

It has only one function: to imprint magical powers.

A warrior in the Shackles Realm develops supernatural powers of flesh and blood, which is a huge leap in combat power.

As for the supernatural powers, apart from the miraculous sublimation and evolution of the Taoist body, the only way to achieve them is through branding.

This also means that, except for warriors who have forged superior physical bodies, other warriors in the Shackles Realm must rely on certain forces if they want to develop supernatural powers.

This is something left behind by Lou Qinglan's parents, and it is also something she promised to help Ji Jingqiu in the future.

At this moment, Lou Qinglan did not question why the things left by her parents were to be given to outsiders. She knew very well that such questions were useless.

“This is not in the interest of the company!”

She said this in a decisive tone, and with this seemingly high-sounding statement, she earned strange looks from several directors.

This includes the Chairman of the Board.

The old man sitting in the first seat had a flash of admiration in his eyes, then shook his head and said:
"This is in the interests of the company. In addition to obtaining three space transport stations and a complete logistics transportation line, the company can also gain the friendship of Shenwei within the Business Alliance."

"Shenwei Enterprise is one of the leaders of the Xilin Business Alliance. They have a much higher voice in the business alliance than we do."

Lou Qinglan said decisively: "This transportation line is of no significance to the company. Most of the logistics business in the eastern and western parts of the Federation is controlled by Shenwei Heavy Enterprises. Even if this transportation line falls into the hands of the company, how much business can our salesmen grab from them?"

A director with a mustache immediately said, "Shenwei Heavy Industries will give up part of its business to the small logistics companies that are dependent on them every year."

Lou Qinglan sneered, "Are you all ready to live on the charity of Shenwei Heavy Enterprise? But how long are they willing to give? Don't forget, the three space transport stations also mean a lot of annual maintenance fees and a series of miscellaneous 'handling'!"

The director with a mustache immediately refuted: "It won't take long. Just give us a few years and our salesmen will be able to gain a firm foothold and open up new business directions for the company!"

Lou Qinglan said calmly: "Then I suggest you reorganize the business department and deal with those people who took kickbacks first."

"You..." The director with a mustache's eyelids twitched. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the old man in the first place raised his hand and signaled him to be quiet.

"Does everyone think so?" the first chairman said slowly.

The other board members exchanged glances and nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with what Lou Qinglan said.

They all thought it was a bad deal.

199-The magical power of Zhaobi can completely become the foundation of the Xingchen Group.

The Chairman was silent for a moment, then sighed:

"In fact, what the company values ​​is not the transportation route, but the friendship of the giant Shenwei enterprise."

"Everyone, I don't know if you have noticed that there are very few new blood and rising stars in the market. The territories that the Federation has opened up are all filled up. It seems to be flourishing, but in fact the market is dying."

"My risk assessors warn me every year that if the federal government fails to open up new markets and new territories, the worst-case scenario is likely to happen this year."

The old man paused and said sarcastically, "They emphasize 'this year' every year."

Lou Qinglan frowned and asked, "What do you mean by the worst situation?"

The old man stared at her with deep eyes and said:
"It's a war in the Union West."

Everyone looked solemn and straightened their backs unconsciously.

Given the wealth of everyone present, they naturally knew the current war situation in the West.

With the support of certain forces behind the scenes, the rebel army in the west has been unstoppable and has occupied four time zones, close to half of the territory of the western part of the Federation!
However, the attitude of the federal top brass is very strange, and until now no official masters or grandmasters have rushed to the battlefield to quell the rebellion.

As for the folk masters in the western part of the Federation, some of them had already joined the rebel army or established their own factions.

This situation made everyone present feel very uneasy.

They could all sense that beneath the deep waters of the Federation, which had been calm for thousands of years, an unprecedented undercurrent was stirring.

Lou Qinglan subconsciously retorted: "With six major families and so many masters and grandmasters here, how could the Federation start a war?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "In fact... this war should have started more than a hundred years ago, and the six major families you mentioned were also part of this war."

"Don't deify them. They are the protectors of the Federation, but they are also human beings and will change."

"This includes the masters and grandmasters you mentioned, as well as those dojos, companies, and societies... they will all be part of the war."

Lou Qinglan was stunned on the spot.

The old man changed the subject:
"Qinglan, do you know how much a 'Legal Seed' that can help a warrior nurture a magical Dao body is worth?"

Lou Qinglan knew that the other party was talking about the "Legal Seed" that had just been delivered to the branch today and provided to Ji Jingqiu.

"It cannot be measured in monetary terms." The old man spread his hands and said, "The development of the 'Legal Seed' is completely in the hands of the federal government. The share given to each family every year is fixed, which is far from enough for each family's needs, especially those dojos and martial arts families."

"If the new forces want to compete for more resources, they must take food from the old forces. This is the original source of conflict."

"When people gradually become dissatisfied with the existing distribution system and believe that they deserve better and more resources, they will look forward to a major reshuffle."

“That’s often the beginning of a war.”

Lou Qinglan whispered, "But war will solidify blood feuds. Once this door is opened, it cannot be stopped just because you want to."

"Yes, it's wishful thinking to turn back after the blood has flowed all over the ground." The old man paused, raised the corner of his mouth, and said sarcastically, "But it doesn't matter. We still have masters and grandmasters. When the time comes, can't we stop whenever we want? As long as everyone gets enough benefits."

"Don't everyone think so? Including you."

"But is it really like this? Will there be no blood feuds between masters and grandmasters? Can everyone really get enough benefits?"

Lou Qinglan remained silent, unable to answer the old man's question.

The old man shook his head and said:
"In short, the Federation's situation is not good. We must find reliable allies to support us when necessary."

"And Shenwei Heavy Enterprise is a good choice. Among the board members of this generation, there is also a very good martial arts genius. It is worth our bet."

"Are you talking about Zhang Buzhou?" Lou Qinglan asked calmly, "Can he be compared with Ji Jingqiu?"

"Yes." The old man said frankly: "Master Ye told me that Zhang Buzhou, who is very powerful, has a good chance of winning the position of Prideful Sun this time, and his martial arts path will be more stable than Ji Jingqiu's."

"Master Ye, what is your reason for saying this?" Lou Qinglan asked.

The Master Ye mentioned by the old man is the only celestial being in the Xingchen Group, and his status in the company is comparable to that of the old man.

The old man said bluntly:
"Because of the Tao bodies they cultivated. Master Ye said that Ji Jingqiu was amazing before he reached the stage of Gongti, but it was different after he reached Gongti. Zhang Buzhou's Pure Yang Tao body can give birth to four kinds of magic, and it has been passed down perfectly, with countless notes from predecessors that can be used as reference."

"And the Wuxiang Dao Body that Ji Jingqiu chose only has three magical powers, and there are few predecessors to guide him. He can only rely on himself to explore the potential of the Wuxiang Dao Body."

"But in terms of the difficulty of cultivation, the Wuxiang Dao Body is one of the best among the many superior cultivation bodies. It is rumored to be second only to the Ji family's Tianren Dao Body."

"In this way, even if Ji Jingqiu has excellent talent, he will waste his time on it, or even get stuck halfway and unable to move forward."

"Compared with the two, Zhang Buzhou's future path is naturally more secure."

The old man paused and said: "This is the importance of orderly inheritance."

Lou Qinglan said calmly: "No matter how stable Zhang Buzhou's future is, what does it have to do with Xingchen Group? He is just an outsider."

The old man smiled helplessly and said, "But Ji Jingqiu...is not one of ours. Child, who do you think he will choose between the Dragon Tiger Dojo and the Xingchen Group in the future?"

"And if we have to choose between Longhu Dojo and Shenwei Chongqi, who should we choose?"

Xingchen Group and Shenwei Heavy Enterprise are both in Xilin Business Alliance, so naturally the latter can provide greater help to the group.

The old man said in a gentle voice: "I don't mind using the company's resources to invest in a talented warrior like Ji Jingqiu, but when it comes to the company's future, I must consider it more comprehensively."

"Ten years of usage rights... Can I really get it back after ten years?" Lou Qinglan said softly, "You should have thought about this question too."

"Without 199-Shentong Zhaobi, how can the company attract warriors in the Shenyou and Shackles realms to join?"

“This is not a temporary sacrifice, but a slow death that completely abandons the company’s future.”

The old man was silent.

What Lou Qinglan said might be a bit too much, but there is some truth in it.

But that wasn't enough to convince him.

Lou Qinglan lowered his eyes slightly and said:

"When my grandfather was alive, he once told me that there are people in this world who are born to crush everything that stands in their way. If someone stands in their way, they will just trample them to the ground."

"In their life dictionary, there is no such thing as what you just said as more secure, because they are born to open up the wilderness."

"And the chaotic times you just described, isn't that their era?"

For the first time, the old man was stunned, as if he heard the advice of his old friend again.

He slowly closed his eyes and said in a tired voice, "Since you insist so much, let's hold off until... the day when the sun shines on the Federation. We can still afford to wait for this little while."

Lou Qinglan had a calm expression and said nothing.

As this meeting ended.

The surrounding projections faded away and she returned to her office.

Lou Qinglan took a deep breath, feeling the air entering his nasal cavity and reaching deep into his lungs.

After a while.

She opened the terminal and asked if Ji Jingqiu had returned.

"Mr. Ji is already forging the [Dharmakaya Prototype]. If you need to see him for something, I suggest you wait until tomorrow."

Lou Qinglan hesitated for a moment and left only a message saying "come on", without planning to tell Ji Jingqiu about this.

Telling him now would only add to his pressure.

"By the way, Mr. Ji asked me to tell you before he went into seclusion that he won last night."

Along with Professor Zuo's words came into my ears.

Lou Qinglan only felt an inexplicable palpitation like a night-blooming cereus quietly blooming in the middle of the night, blooming silently in his heart.

This is not joy, nor is it sadness, but an indescribable feeling...

A sense of security, or confidence?

Lou Qinglan suddenly exhaled the air that was trapped in his lungs.

She felt that her grandfather was right and that she had definitely not misjudged him.

……

After hanging up the communication.

Zuo He looked at Ji Jingqiu with amazement as he was nurturing the [prototype of his Dharma body].

Planting the "dharma seed" into the body and nurturing supernatural powers is a very dangerous process.

Because this will connect the legal principles that have been engraved in the body and resonate with the outside world for the first time.

As staff members, they need to constantly monitor changes in the surrounding environment and observe the condition inside Ji Jingqiu's body, and be prepared to interrupt the process at any time and send Ji Jingqiu to the medical bed.

Moreover, the difficulty of the formless Taoist body ranks among the top among many superior bodies of practice.

This means that the legal principles it represents are more ancient and obscure, difficult to comprehend, and even more difficult to communicate.

But at this moment, Ji Jingqiu seemed to have merged with the heaven and earth, becoming a part of the law, and gradually "disappeared" from their eyes.

Judging from Zuo He's experience, Ji Jingqiu's progress was very smooth, and it could be said that he had an unobstructed journey!
The most direct proof is the faint shadow appearing behind him.

At that time, there was a faceless and shapeless Dharma body standing quietly.

At first glance, it seems a little weird, but if you look closely, you will feel that there is an indescribable charm in it. After looking at it for a long time, it seems that you can find the shadow of your deepest heart in the Dharma...

It is like a blank piece of paper without ink, inviting all viewers to put down their own pen and project their own thoughts onto it.

Reflecting the self in the viewer's heart... If Zuo He remembered correctly, this was the highest level of the formless Tao body, the form of all living beings!

It seems to be formless, but in fact it encompasses everything.

Is this genius?

Professor Zuo He, who has assisted dozens of so-called martial arts geniuses in building superior skills, still couldn't help but sigh.

Even among geniuses who have achieved the same superior body skills, there is still a huge gap between them.

……

At this moment.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be in harmony with the natural world, and fell into a subtle state similar to the unity of man and nature.

He felt that he had merged into the vast universe, becoming the smallest yet the greatest existence in the universe, omnipresent and all-pervading...

This is the law of heaven and earth.

In this state, he could very clearly sense the strange deep red particles in the air around him, gradually spreading everywhere he could see.

This should be Hela's radiation stance.

But he had no time to care about these. In this state, he carefully felt the burning fire in his body.

Compared to a few months ago, it has undoubtedly grown a lot, but it is still a long way from what Brother Dao once mentioned: "When the heart lamp is at its peak, the god of the sword can be seen."

The next moment, Ji Jingqiu's mind turned again, like the sun and the moon shining through the mountains and rivers, penetrating the spiritual form of the mountains and rivers in his body, as well as the golden patterns and traces of legal principles imprinted on the "mountains and rivers" in his body.

Every inch of it contains vigorous vitality and profound and ancient artistic conception.

When all these originally shapeless legal traces were connected together, an unprecedented sense of satisfaction spread from "me".

This is the prototype of the Dharmakaya.

The first step towards the higher path is thus completed.

Ji Jingqiu slowly opened his eyes.

Inexplicably, I feel that the world before my eyes seems more vivid and alive.

His overall quality had not changed much, nor had his eyesight improved, but this feeling was exceptionally strong.

Gradually, a kind of enlightenment arose in his heart.

It’s not the vividness of light or color, nor the transformation of vision, but “reality”.

After giving birth to the [prototype of the Dharma body], he began to formally come into contact with the reality of this world.

Is this the world of law?

On the side, after witnessing Ji Jingqiu's complete transformation, Professor Zuo He waved his hand to signal everyone to leave and leave the training room to Ji Jingqiu.

He knew very well that Ji Jingqiu had just completed his transformation, and now was the best time for him to gain enlightenment.

Ji Jingqiu activated his telepathy and looked back. A formless and faceless Dharma body embryo was standing peacefully behind him.

Without the majestic power of Mu Juncheng's Acalanatha, it was just plain and ordinary, with a kind of tranquility and peace that transcended worldly troubles, as if it had been washed away and returned to its most original appearance.

Looking at this Dharma body, Ji Jingqiu was thinking in his heart.

According to the instructions in the manual sent by the Administration and the Formless Dao Body, the next step is to make the face of this Formless Dharma Body transform into thousands of forms.

But Ji Jingqiu vaguely felt that perhaps this was not the right way to go.

The Dharma body he achieved is the form of all living beings. It can already illuminate all aspects of people's hearts. Why should he further evolve the forms of others?
In his opinion, this Dharmakaya should eventually evolve into the form of "true self".

Control everything with your true self.

Simply put, when the face of the Dharmakaya becomes his, it means he has entered the next stage of practice.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly. His idea was theoretically reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.

Yes, he is definitely not wrong, the only thing wrong is the administration's manual.

There were very few things to note about the formless Taoist body in the manual, so it was normal for errors and omissions to appear.

However, even though he thought so, after all, it involved his own foundation of Taoism, so Ji Jingqiu still carefully spent a few days to comprehend and study the prototype of his own Dharma body.

……

……

“Who wins, who wins?”

After being busy all night, Zhou Zhongda returned to the administration's base and couldn't wait to ask his colleagues who stayed behind.

He was asked by Bai Yujing to deal with the aftermath of the cultists last night.

When I arrived at the scene, I regretted making this trip.

Not only were there headless corpses, but there were also a pile of red and white things, like a bunch of smashed paint cans.

I don’t know who did it, it’s so rude... Of course, it could also be the “secret back-up” of these filthy guys.

These guys always like to shoot heads, especially their own heads.

The colleague who stayed behind was beaming with joy: "Damn, let me tell you, the guy from the Mu family actually lost last night and ended up in third place!"

"Third?" Zhou Zhongda was stunned, "What about first and second?"

"The first one is Ji Jingqiu from the eighth floor." The colleague said excitedly, "Guess who's the second one? You can't think of it even if you try your best!"

"Who is the second one?" Zhou Zhongda asked casually.

He doesn’t care who is second, as long as Ji Jingqiu is first!
Good boy, he actually beat the disciple of the Mu family, he is worthy of being the one he invested in!

Thinking of this, he happily opened the terminal, sent the good news in a group chat, and dealt with his colleagues at the same time.

"Okay, let's stop talking." Another warrior from the Administration Bureau walked out of the house and frowned, "The West needs support, who should go?"

The atmosphere suddenly stagnated.

Zhou Zhongda frowned and said, "I saw on the internal website that the situation in the west is very corrupt?"

"There are currently six masters taking action in the Western War, all of whom are native to the West, and four are from the rebels." Another person sighed, "How could it not be bad? Their masters directly broke through the defense line. When the government and the garrison over there saw that the situation was not right, and since everyone was from the West, they surrendered directly, and the rebels took over several time zones with basically no obstacles."

"The higher-ups haven't sent any reinforcements yet?"

"Who knows? Anyway, if we go to reinforce, we will only be responsible for monitoring those underground societies."

Zhou Zhongda suddenly said: "I heard, I heard, just heard!"

He repeatedly emphasized that he had only heard it, and whispered:
"This war is a test by some forces to see if the current high-level combat power of the Federation is weak..."

……

……

During this period, Ji Jingqiu had doubts about how to apply legal principles to martial arts, so he immediately went into the armory of the Longhu Dojo and looked through a pile of classics.

Finally, as a core disciple, he asked questions directly to the bigwigs of the dojo through internal channels.

A day later, an account nicknamed [Bai Lu] gave him a reply.

Judging from the nickname, it should be Uncle Bailu!

【Ancient sages proposed long ago that the world is composed of energy fluctuations and material particles, and this composition is achieved through some kind of guidance. As long as humans find an opportunity to let their own "god" enter this guidance, they can master the power of the origin of the world.】

[The above-mentioned 'guidance' is the law of heaven and earth, the rules of the great way. ]

【The ancients’ practice often included meditation, hand seals, and mantras, all of which were attempts to find the ‘opportunity’. When we sense the opportunity and everything merges, we can connect to the universe and the internal organs, allowing our own qi to interact with the world around us and master the power to change the world.】

[The creation of the Tao body is actually the strengthening of hand seals and mantras. The rules of heaven and earth are too powerful, and it is difficult to find an opportunity with just hand seals and mantras. The ancestors ten thousand years ago thought of a way to connect the inside and the outside, which is to engrave the law into the body, so that it can resonate with the outside world. ]

[Your Senior Brother Shi has returned to the dojo ahead of schedule. He once obtained a secret hand seal technique in the ancestral land of the Dragon and Tiger Dojo. You can come and discuss it with him.]

[In addition, the dojo also has a collection of Wuxiang Dao scriptures and several manuals on cultivation by predecessors, which you can borrow and read.]

Uncle Bai Lu explained it very clearly.

Ji Jingqiu immediately understood after reading it.

Simply put, in addition to energy and matter, the world is composed of something that connects them.

This thing is the 'Tao' and 'Principles'. As long as one can get close to the Tao and Principles, one can change the energy fluctuations and material particles of the origin of the world, and then master the great supernatural power to change the world.

Speaking of which, Senior Brother Shi is back?

Ji Jingqiu contacted Shi Xuanzhen through the terminal.

Shi Xuanzhen's current physical body has been completed. He is the first martial arts genius he knows who has completed the development of a superior Taoist body!
[Xuan Zhen]: Congratulations, Junior Brother, for taking first place the other night! If it is convenient, you can come to the dojo to see me. It just so happens that I have already reached the Haoyue standard, so I can be a reference for Junior Brother.

[Xuan Zhen]: Oh, right! I also want to thank my junior brother for the advice he gave me last time. The group chat has been quite lively recently! Come to the dojo, I'll treat you to a meal!

...Last suggestion?

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment and opened the group chat that had been blocked for a long time.

hiss--

What a bright and lively group atmosphere!
