Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 133: He Shuai's message, East 3 Brilliant Star
This is the first time that Ji Jingqiu has walked so far in the ocean of his mind since he first went deep into it.

In the past, he usually used the ocean of the mind as a stepping stone to directly enter the Buddha's kingdom to steal some Buddha fat and ointment.

This time he truly experienced the scenery of the ocean of the soul.

Here, the boundary between light and shadow becomes blurred. It is dark most of the time, but sometimes you can catch a glimpse of light, weaving strange patterns in the distant void, as if telling stories from an unknown era.

The space here has also lost its cognitive form, sometimes twisting into an intricate spiral maze. One step may be hundreds of meters or kilometers away, or you may walk for more than ten minutes and still be spinning in the same place...

Along the way, there are all kinds of strange mental fluctuations. In the darkness around him, there will be creepy noises, or familiar voices, leading Ji Jingqiu into the depths of darkness.

If you respond to them and carefully feel those strange fluctuations in your mind, you will be able to appreciate the magnificent and fantastic "picture" from them.

If you look at these paintings for a long time, you will be struck by the mixture of countless emotions and thoughts contained in them, and you will unconsciously sink into them and become a part of the "painting".

In a sense, these scrolls can also be regarded as small integrated thoughts, or "gods".

As for how Ji Jingqiu knew...

He just had a light of wisdom above his head that could illuminate all darkness. He stared at a scroll and studied it for a long time. He found that the existence of this thing was a bit similar to the real Buddha, so he tried to "purify" it with the clear light of glass.

The real Buddha is too "big", this one is just right for practicing.

As a result, as soon as he made his move, the other party disappeared.

Under the dual protection of the Bodhi tree and [Changle, Bliss, and Purity], Ji Jingqiu finally arrived at the coordinates and saw the so-called "adventure".

That's a door.

In the void, there stood quietly a door that led to nowhere.

The door was made of an unknown dark-colored wood, with a pattern carved on the surface that Ji Jingqiu found strangely familiar.

He thought about it for a while and remembered that the words on the door were the "divine words" mentioned by Zhuang Yanxing.

Senior Brother Shi also asked him to learn it when he has time.

Unexpectedly, the "adventure" left by Coach He also involved the so-called wilderness sacred text.

Ji Jingqiu took note of it and prepared to go back and put the matter on the agenda.

After finding the adventure, Ji Jingqiu left an anchor and prepared to return first.

Suddenly, he looked back and found two figures supporting each other walking not far behind him.

This was the first time he saw someone other than himself in the ocean of his mind!

The ocean of the soul is vast and it is difficult to meet another person unless you meet at the same coordinates.

After seeing him, the two figures stopped and looked at him vigilantly. There was a man and a woman, and the man stood in front of the girl.

They whispered something.

Listening to their words, Ji Jingqiu's expression was slightly strange, and he looked up at the two of them.

There was nothing unusual about their clothes and appearance, but I had no idea what dialect they were speaking and I didn't understand a word they said.

After noticing the other party's alert look, Ji Jingqiu did not step forward rashly, but just nodded politely to show his friendliness.

He could sense that these two were at the stage of spiritual cultivation in a state of meditation.

Were these two people also sent by the Wilderness Cult?

Ji Jingqiu was just about to leave and ask Jiang Minghuan when he suddenly noticed something unusual happening at the door.

The patterns on the door were slowly filling with color, as if some kind of ritual was taking effect at this moment.

Ji Jingqiu blinked. Didn’t you say tomorrow?

Is the Wilderness Cult reliable?

The door of adventure in the void opens.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at the two people behind him who were eager to make a move, their eyes full of desire, and kindly made way for them to enter the gate.

The two men were obviously still very alert, but they could not resist the temptation of adventure, so they walked in quickly, cautiously guarding against him.

Seeing that both of them had already walked in and couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, and when he didn't notice anything unusual, he also stepped in.

……

Inside the restaurant.

[Have you contacted Ji Jingqiu? The adventure will start tomorrow. ]

"I contacted him and explained everything to him. He is also very interested."

Jiang Minghuan burped, leaned lazily in his chair, and communicated with his superior in the cult.

She heard a questioning voice at the door of the restaurant, and she turned around to see that it was a tall and strong warrior.

"Miss Jiang, please come with us. Brother Ji asked us to make an empty room for you."

Ge Hong glanced at the empty plate on the table and felt respect for this girl of unknown origin.

He is such a big eater, and the most important thing is that he knows Brother Ji. He is probably a martial arts genius from some family, but he looks a little unfamiliar.

"Okay! Sorry for the trouble!" Jiang Minghuan stood up, wiped the corner of his mouth, and thought to himself that he could finally take a good bath and have a good sleep!

After thanking Ge Hong again, Jiang Minghuan lay down on the bed with her arms and legs spread out. The fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days came rushing back to her. She gave up the idea of ​​taking a shower and decided to just take a nap.

But the contact person wouldn't let her go.

[He is the only candidate this time. You need to explain some things to him clearly.]

"The explanation is clear."

[Has he found the coordinates? That place is still close to the deep area and is quite dangerous. You should have come to him earlier and be prepared.]

Jiang Minghuan thought about it and realized that in the time it took him to eat, Ji Jingqiu probably just set out.

"He just set out, so there shouldn't be any problems. He is now the top talent in the Federation!"

Jiang Minghuan wanted to say a few perfunctory words, but suddenly he thought of Ji Jingqiu's previous words, and suddenly he became interested. He turned over and asked:

"Does the sect think Ji Jingqiu has a chance of passing?"

[It’s basically impossible.]

"??? Then you are still looking for him?"

[It’s always a good idea to give it a try. Maybe he can pass it? ]

Jiang Minghuan wrinkled his nose, secretly annoyed at the unreliability of these people. What if Ji Jingqiu failed and took his anger out on him and kicked him out?
She decided to be self-reliant and get more information from the cult and provide it to Ji Jingqiu.

This way, even if Ji Jingqiu fails, he shouldn't vent his anger on her.

At that time, she can help him scold the top leaders of the cult, and everyone will be united against the common enemy!

"How difficult is the test inside? Even Ji Jingqiu has basically no chance? I remember that this adventure is not limited to the True Seed Realm?"

[In fact, the above analysis is that when Coach He set it up at the end, he might not have intended for people to pass the last half of the assessment.]

"What do you mean?"

[It is believed that He Shuai did want to leave something behind at the beginning, but in the final stage, he suddenly regretted it, but was unwilling to destroy certain traces. When his emotions were extremely contradictory and complicated, he set up this test that no one could pass.]

"Such a detailed and complex psychological description, is it the reincarnation of the worm in He Shuai's stomach?" Jiang Minghuan sneered.

[There are some secrets you don't know...Keep going, when you have completed the forging of the superior body and officially entered the core training sequence, you will be qualified to get to know some secrets, such as...what kind of person is He Shuai.]

"I'm not interested." Jiang Minghuan curled his lips, "Tell me what kind of assessment it is."

[There are two types of tests. One is to climb the ladder to heaven. With each step, endless pressure descends. It tests the strength of the physical body. According to the calculation above, 100% of the Dao body is not enough to pass this level.]

Jiang Minghuan sucked in a breath of cold air. A 100% sublimated Great Perfection Dao Body was not enough? What kind of physique would that be?
[The second type is a winding path, also called the road of self-examination. Along the way, there are many illusions. Those who can walk this path either perfectly meet the test of self-examination of Coach He, or have a stable mind! ]

[I'm afraid even He Shuai himself may not be able to pass the former! As for the latter, haha, the way of Pan Ding has blocked so many warriors in the Federation from advancing an inch. A Pan Ding at the true seed level? The Federation has never had one since ancient times! ]

[Just based on these two points, there is no chance that Ji Jingqiu will pass! The reason we let him go is to see if he will be favored by the inheritance left by He Shuai and pass the test regardless of the assessment.]

"What's the success rate?" Jiang Minghuan swallowed.

[Almost close to 0, anyway, the adventure is nothing... In addition, if you are lucky, there is actually a chance to obtain some inheritance. 】

……

Looking at the winding path in front of him, which seemed to lead to the depths of his heart, Ji Jingqiu glanced at the two men and women who had already walked onto the path but were stuck at the first step, with their eyes closed and expressions of struggle on their faces.

he mused.

Is this a test of the soul?

He took a deep breath, guarded his heart, and took the first step from the other side with a serious look.

Suddenly, a whisper came to my ear. The voice seemed to transcend time and space, telling a sad story from the past. With deep fatigue, it seemed to drag people into another world...

Ji Jingqiu scratched his ears.

The sound was too muffled for him to hear clearly.

He glanced at the other side and saw two people who were gritting their teeth and had struggled to the point of looking almost hideous.

Obviously, he was treated differently.

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment and dared to guess.

Could it be that the light of wisdom regarded this heavy test as part of the "darkness" and automatically "illuminated" it?

So wise.

Ji Jingqiu secretly praised himself and tried to take the second step.

This time, in addition to the sound, there are also images of burning blood and fire, as if the gates of hell burst open, dragging the viewer into a cruel and tragic world, where they must make a dilemma...

Even through the layer of mosaic, Ji Jingqiu could still hear the wailing and struggle from the soul, as well as the deepest despair, the pain of irretrievable and inevitable loss.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but sigh.

The sufferings of birth, old age, sickness and death, the reunion with those we hate, the separation from those we love, the failure to obtain what we desire, the burning of the five aggregates...

The eight sufferings of life have always been like this.

No one can escape.

He shook his head and continued walking forward.

Even with the light of wisdom illuminating the darkness, Ji Jingqiu still couldn't avoid being affected by the emotions. His eyes were deep and his heart gradually became heavy, as if something invisible was pressing on him.

It is hard to imagine how difficult this test is...

……

Play!

Jiang Minghuan was furious. Isn't this just a joke? !

[Actually... the two above are just the ones we have encountered. We don't know if there are other tests later. After all, these two levels alone are not something a normal person can break through.]

[As for the rewards after clearing the level, no one knows clearly. You'd better explain it to Ji Jingqiu to avoid misunderstanding.]

unlucky!

If Ji Jingqiu knew about this, he would kick her out of the house tonight!
At least... let's talk about it tomorrow!
She got up resolutely and rushed into the bathroom, cherishing what might be her last chance.

……

Ji Jingqiu walked forward step by step, each step was very steady. He stood at the end of the secluded path and looked back.

In these dozen steps that seem like a leisurely stroll, are there heavy pasts that someone cannot look back on?
Coach He...does he have any irreparable regrets from the past?
Ji Jingqiu adjusted his mood and continued to move forward.

One step and the world turns upside down.

This time, Ji Jingqiu seemed to see a vague figure from behind.

In the void far away, that figure stood with its back to all living beings, standing upright, walking slowly and calmly like a god, but it left behind a lonely, cold and desolate back...

next moment.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to have merged into that figure, becoming indistinguishable from the other!
In a trance.

As far as the eye can see, there are unfinished ambitions, people who have been lost, and things that cannot be undone...

In the end, only the vast expanse of heaven and earth remained.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu felt that his consciousness was infinitely elevated, and in an instant he was integrated into the state of mind of He Shuai back then, which was the unity of man and nature.

There is no joy of victory, nor is there sadness of loss.

It's just "empty".

The whole world is empty.

All things are empty.

He stood in the center of heaven and earth with his sword in his hand, his gaze endless and deep, as if he had become the center of heaven and earth. With a long roar, his dominance was revealed, and he raised his sword and slashed down!

This knife stretched across the sky and earth. The wind and clouds changed color, the sun and moon lost their luster, and everything in the universe seemed so insignificant in front of the artistic conception contained in this knife.

It is by no means the sadness and loneliness after losing everything, but a declaration of war, a declaration of war against fate, the heaven and earth, and all things!
Finally broke free from the shackles and ran towards freedom!

After one knife, Ji Jingqiu broke away from He Shuai's figure.

He calmed himself down, and the first thing he did after regaining consciousness was to try his best to comprehend the scene he had seen before, especially the last cut, trying his best to capture the trace of this last cut!
Under this knife, he saw the hundreds of rivers converging into the sea of ​​Guiyi Jue, the sharpness and flawlessness of the Eternal Sword, and many things he could not understand.

He did not ask to understand everything now, he just wanted to seal the mark of the knife in his mind and open it when he reached a certain level of strength in the future.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Jingqiu's face became paler and paler.

This was a symbol of the imminent collapse of his spiritual incarnation. The things contained in this knife were truly terrifying. Fortunately, under the suppression of Liuli Qingguang, he finally managed to remember three or four points of this knife.

After stable state.

Ji Jingqiu continued to stride forward.

There were no more obstacles on the road after that, allowing him to reach the depths of the adventure unimpeded.

At the innermost part is a stone house.

There is nothing in the room.

There was only a line of words carved on a stone table.

[If you really make it here, then you are either stronger than I was, or more like He Donghuang than I am. Remember to go to Donghuang Star when you have time. The bastard surnamed Ji left some traces of my existence there.]

Apart from this, there is nothing else.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly had an epiphany.

Perhaps Coach He once left something here, but eventually chose to erase it, leaving only these words on the table.

Speaking of which, why is it...

East 3 brilliant stars?!
Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but look stunned.

Good night...
