Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 153: Curse on my Self, the Temple Sends Supplement
Long Qingyang glanced at the Water Moon Pearl spinning in front of Ji Jingqiu.

It has never been so proactive in thousands of years.

This object was imbued with the divinity ignited by Wan Chengcang himself. It is no longer a simple object but has spirituality. Otherwise, it would not be qualified as an inherited object.

"You can play with this thing for now, but you are not allowed to take it away from the dojo." Long Qingyang pointed at the Shuiyue Pearl, "When you enter the Shackles in the future and need to cultivate supernatural powers, you can come here to take it away officially."

"Thank you, Grandmaster Long!"

"Yeah." Long Qingyang responded lightly and turned to leave.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Ji Jingqiu always felt that Master Long suddenly seemed a little depressed at the end.

Hiss...Should I call him Lord Long?
He stretched out his palm, and the Universal Pearl fell into his hand by itself. After playing with it for a while, he started practicing again.

In the next few days, in addition to comprehending the [Formless Taoist Canon], Ji Jingqiu also went to observe Senior Brother Shi's process of reversing his innate nature.

To be honest, there was no complicated process. Brother Shi just sat there for a moment, and then he had a breakthrough.

It mainly depends on the subsequent transformation. With the help of reversing the innate, Senior Brother Shi successfully stepped into the peak of the acquired realm. The progress of the Dragon and Tiger Taoist body has reached 99.9%, and the spirit and form have reached the energy level.

The dragon and tiger energy coiled in the air and condensed into a lifelike golden dragon and a tiger. They were imposing and had spirit in their eyes, as if they really had spirituality!
As for the realm of Dharmakaya, Senior Brother Shi still needs some time to nurture it.

At this point, Senior Brother Shi has stepped one foot into the threshold of Jiaoyang.

Afterwards, Ji Jingqiu challenged Senior Brother Shi to a duel and discovered that Senior Brother Shi's Qi power had almost doubled compared to the previous few days!

The energy and strength embody the spirit and form, which can be described as a complete transformation.

Moreover, every move he made had the strength of a dragon and a tiger. At this point, his dragon tendons and tiger bones were fully developed.

After witnessing the 99.9% increase in the Dao body, Ji Jingqiu continued to devote himself to the forging of his body, while looking forward to the arrival of Luo Han Guo.

In this way, more than half a month passed, and after consuming a lot of resources, Ji Jingqiu barely pushed the progress of [Formless Dao Body] from 96% to 98.1%.

The further you get to the end, the more difficult it becomes, and it's true.

With this progress, one is already qualified to enter the final stage with the help of the power of going against one's innate nature.

But he had not yet sensed the mysterious sympathy that went against his innate nature.

According to Senior Brother Shi, when the time comes, he will naturally feel the opportunity to go against his innate nature. This feeling is mysterious and indescribable, similar to the feeling when opening the door to heaven, but far more mysterious and obscure than the latter.

Fortunately.

On this day, the monk fruit also arrived with the friendly sponsorship from Gu Luohan.

This time, it was not Cheetah Express that was used, but a special person delivered the goods to the door, and the signature location was not in the Four Guardian Stars, but other areas in the central area.

Ji Jingqiu entrusted Lou Qinglan to send someone to retrieve the Luo Han Guo safely and deliver it to the Longhu Dojo.

These days, he has been comprehending the All-Seeing Pearl in the Dragon and Tiger Dojo. With the assistance of the latter, his speed in forging the formless Taoist body has increased slightly. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing.

At this point, Professor Zuo and his team could no longer help him.

After all, the warriors they had assisted basically got stuck after reaching 90% perfection.

……

This day.

Ji Jingqiu sat alone in a single courtyard on the mountainside. After adjusting his state, he opened the sealed box.

After opening it, a rich and fragrant aroma instantly filled his mouth and nose and penetrated into his internal organs. Just by smelling it, he felt his mind clear, his pores dilated, and he felt comfortable as if he was soaking in a special medicinal bath.

In the box lies a golden fruit the size of a longan, semi-transparent and semi-solid, somewhere between illusion and reality.

Ji Jingqiu looked at it curiously.

This is Luo Han Guo.

It is said that this thing was originally planted in the ocean of the mind, and was later transplanted out by a martial arts master. Its essence is some kind of "rules and laws" rather than pure plant life.

After being transplanted out of the ocean of the mind, combined with the rules of the universe, some strange changes occurred. Half of it was "solidified" into plant life, and the other half still existed in the form of legal rules.

The monk fruit it produces is also half real and half imaginary.

Ji Jingqiu recalled the precautions that Bone Arhat had given him when taking the medicine.

He wrapped the Luo Han Guo with his Qi and did not touch it directly with his hands. He carefully put it into his mouth. The sweet and fragrant flesh instantly turned into nectar and slid down his throat.

Soon, the sweet fruit juice instantly transformed into golden divine light, seeping into his internal organs and rushing to his limbs and bones.

In addition to its function of guiding people to go against their innate nature, the most fundamental medicinal effect of Luo Han Guo is to cleanse the body.

As the monk fruit completely dissolved, the medicinal power nourished his body, cleansing his flesh over and over again.

As time passed, his physique, which was already strong enough to be the best among his peers, was further strengthened in terms of flesh, blood, internal organs, and bones.

"Isn't it said that it has the effect of guiding people to go against their innate nature..." Ji Jingqiu wondered.

Suddenly, a golden divine light transformed from the power of medicine disappeared into thin air after passing through his limbs and bones.

Ji Jingqiu's perception expanded and extended in an instant. Although he was sitting in the courtyard, he could "see" every blade of grass and tree within a hundred meters.

He fell into an unprecedented clarity and tranquility. All his doubts, worries, and shackles seemed to disappear at this moment.

this moment.

He seemed to hear the call from his soul and felt his "true self" very clearly!
It is not about going against one’s nature, but the existence of one’s “self”.

This was the first time he felt the existence of his true self so intuitively.

In the past, he could only feel that the weight of his ego was increasing with his own breakthroughs, but he could not specifically perceive the existence of his ego.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly realized that Luo Han Guo was guiding him to see his true self. By seeing his true self, he would naturally find an opportunity to go against his innate nature.

The so-called rebellion against one's nature is itself a transformation at the level of the self.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu's mind entered the ocean of the mind uncontrollably.

In the boundless ocean, his soul slowly sank, passing through layers of hazy fog and interlaced light and shadow, crossing the boundary between this shore and the other shore, and finally arriving at an indescribable place.

This place seems to be the end of time and space. Time has lost its scale, space has lost its boundaries, and everything returns to the starting point, which is also the end point.

Then, he followed some kind of guidance and stood in front of another self.

They looked at each other.

While looking into his other self, Ji Jingqiu's mind was freed, as if it was being purified and sublimated, ultimately guiding him to find the answers to everything.

In the gaze, he saw an opportunity to go against his innate nature, which was a transformation of the essence of life and a "rebirth" of the self.

He saw it so clearly that a faint joy arose in his peaceful heart.

until……

He saw the "curse" that was haunting his ego!
Those invisible spells that flicker with faint green light are interwoven into an intricate web, deeply embedded in the body of the self.

This is……

According to the Lord God, the root of the evil poison disease is the curse of the three demons? !

……

……

Crimson Labs.

"Hey, why is Hela's activity index rising today?"

Researcher A, who was on daily duty, glanced at the data, pushed up his glasses, confirmed that the value did not exceed the specification, and did not report it.

In the laboratory center.

The body suppressed by the long sword was still lying quietly.

But at the level of her mysterious consciousness, Hela stretched her body, awakened by the "breath" of the suffering sea of ​​all worlds.

In their eyes, this aura was too conspicuous, like a bonfire in the wilderness at night, with the smell of blood coming in the distant wind...

No matter for the civilization of the main world or these ancient gods, the sea of ​​suffering in all worlds is a taboo among taboos that must not be touched.

But... in this rural area of ​​the Federation, several anomalies have been born one after another!

For others, the sea of ​​suffering in the world is something they try to avoid, but this group of anomalies rushes towards it as if they have seen their own mother!

Especially that bastard named Mu. He had never seen such a rampant acquired creature. He actually dared to attempt to shoulder the weight of all the sufferings of the world by himself!

When this man was at his peak, the Four Gods of the Wilderness had to avoid him, not because they were afraid of him, but because they were afraid of the karma he carried.

Although that guy failed in bearing the sea of ​​suffering, he miraculously obtained the karma of the final catastrophe from the sea of ​​suffering in all the worlds!

If any one of the four of them is infected, he will be reduced by a level of status.

Just like Him at this moment, even if it was just Ji Jingqiu's illusory karma of the end of the catastrophe, He would not hesitate to lower his status and draw a line between himself and the sea of ​​suffering in the world.

Of course, this is also because He has been suppressed for ten thousand years.

Fortunately, none of the endings of these freaks were good. Some died in vain, some imprisoned themselves, and some disappeared without a trace and have not been heard from for thousands of years.

Even Ji Jingqiu at the moment is no exception!

After their disappearance, the three demons jointly cast multiple curses, attempting to destroy this civilization that gave birth to multiple anomalies from all aspects.

The curse of the ego represented by the evil poison disease is one of them.

After waking up from her deep sleep, Hila quickly confirmed that the aura this time was still caused by Ji Jingqiu.

After confirming Ji Jingqiu's current condition, He smiled with glee, a smile that was very unrestrained and very human - after realizing this, His mood suddenly became gloomy.

After her status was demoted, the balance that had existed for thousands of years was broken. Those four bastards who were not much better than Mu Shitian took the opportunity to attack her, filling her with a lot of "fire of humanity" and delaying her recovery.

But to be honest... the root of all this lies with Ji Jingqiu!

Although He didn't understand how Ji Jingqiu had reached his current state step by step, he was very clear that going against his innate nature would most likely be his destination.

When he rebels against his nature and sheds his old body, that is when the curse finally rebounds.

If he thought that the Bodhi statue could help him get through this disaster, he was totally wrong!

Thinking of this, Hela's mood became beautiful again.

She swayed her body gently, with the snake's tail resting on her chin.

only……

Thinking that Ji Jingqiu might really die in the process of rebelling against his innate nature.

Hela fell silent again.

Of course He would be happy to see the death of this young man who inherited Mu Shitian's mantle and had the aura of that bastard named He, and He just wanted to applaud.

But if he really died, who would help him pull the other three bastards off the throne?

He does not have the power to bring about the sea of ​​suffering in the world.

Hela's expression became uncertain.

This kid...

I should be able to get through it, right?
If it really doesn't work, don't go against your nature!

If you don’t touch it, you won’t die!

At most, the future of martial arts will be damaged, but it is much better than death.

Wait... Could it be that those four bastards wanted to get me to take action? ?
Thinking of this possibility, Hela's mood suddenly turned bad and she even wanted to vomit!

……

……

Shi Xuanzhen happened to pass by Ji Jingqiu's residence because he had something to discuss with Junior Brother Ji.

As soon as he walked into the gate, he saw Ji Jingqiu sitting cross-legged in the middle of the training ground, his face pale, his breath weak, as if he was dying! Shi Xuanzhen's face sank, and he did not go forward, but left the yard and notified Grandmaster Long Qingyang through the terminal.

After receiving the news, Long Qingyang, who was temporarily staying in the Taoist temple, came to this courtyard in a flash and looked at Ji Jingqiu.

The next moment, after he sensed Ji Jingqiu's current condition, he frowned rarely.

Ever since he reached the top of the master and took charge of the Dragon and Tiger Dojo, he has never frowned about anything.

But Ji Jingqiu's current situation was beyond his comprehension.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be breaking through the innate barriers of rebellion, otherwise his ego would not have been so clearly "manifested" that he could perceive it clearly.

But it was precisely because he clearly sensed Ji Jingqiu's true self that he felt puzzled and unable to understand.

Even if a junior in the True Seed Realm goes wrong in his cultivation, at most he will suffer some physical injuries. How could it possibly affect his true self?

Could it be that the impact of the rebellion was a congenital failure?

But I have never heard that failure in resisting innate tends to hurt one's true self.

"Grandmaster, what's happening to Junior Brother Ji?" Shi Xuanzhen asked in a low voice.

"He was created by me, and it backfired on my body." Long Qingyang said to Shi Xuanzhen in a deep voice: "Go to the secret library in person and take out a copy of [Thousand Years of Void Blue] to help your Junior Brother Ji strengthen his body."

Upon hearing [Qian Zai Kong Qing], even Shi Xuanzhen, who was calm and composed, couldn't help but change his expression slightly and hesitated for a moment. This was a tonic specially made for Master Tianren to heal his injuries in the Taoist temple, and it was collected from the depths of the Heavenly Road.

After taking another look at Ji Jingqiu's condition, Shi Xuanzhen no longer hesitated: "Disciple will go right away."

After Shi Xuanzhen left, Long Qingyang remained silent and carefully observed Ji Jingqiu's current condition.

In his perception, Ji Jingqiu's mental strength was extremely high, but his ego was inexplicably riddled with holes, which was simply unbelievable.

What on earth happened to this kid?
When Ji Jingqiu woke up, he found that his body was full of stabbing pains, which made him feel depressed because the pain was very similar to the previous poison disease.

He just tried to break the curse net, but the situation was much worse than he thought. It directly affected the curse net and caused injuries to his ego.

He also finally figured out why the symptoms of his evil poison disease improved after he embarked on the path of martial arts and achieved the six limits of heaven and man.

In essence, it is the strengthening of the self, which gradually stabilizes its position in the fight against the curse and is no longer simply suppressed.

But if he wants to go against his innate nature... he must completely break free of the curse, allowing his true self to truly break free from the cage and be reborn.

At this moment.

Ji Jingqiu entered into a state of meditation again, practicing the Fire House Buddha Prison Visualization Method, and combining it with the mastery of the physical body in the prototype of the Taoist temple, he was able to suppress the stinging sensation.

After opening my eyes, Long Qingyang and Senior Brother Shi were in front of me.

"Give him the medicine." Long Qingyang didn't waste time talking to him, nor did he give him a chance to refuse. He instructed Shi Xuanzhen to feed him the medicine.
Shi Xuanzhen followed suit and forced Ji Jingqiu's mouth open, then poured all of the [Qian Zai Kong Qing] in his hand into his mouth.

The cold liquid entered his mouth, and before Ji Jingqiu had the chance to ask what it was, he felt something invisible and intangible filling up his "body".

Ji Jingqiu looked solemn.

He clearly felt that the invisible force was repairing his self!

The secret medicine that can enhance one's true self is extremely precious.

Realizing that Ji Jingqiu's condition had stabilized, Long Qingyang relaxed. After taking a deep look at Ji Jingqiu, he stood up and left, leaving only one sentence:

"During this period of time, I will stay at the Four Guardian Stars. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

Shi Xuanzhen did not leave, but asked him seriously what had happened and whether he could tell him.

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment.

The last time he heard the words of the God Lord, he felt that going against his innate nature might be the first hurdle on his road to martial arts, and also a matter of life and death.

It is to usher in a new life and cut off the shackles of the past;

Or are you dragged into the mire of suffering again?

It all depends on this step.

Theoretically, no one could help him with this step, not even the Lord God. Just like the past sixteen years, he could only rely on himself.

"Brother, it's okay. It's just a small problem." Ji Jingqiu comforted Shi Xuanzhen, paused, and said in a calm tone with determination, "I will solve it."

Shi Xuanzhen nodded slowly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Regarding the order of appearances in the exchange match, the other person is also interested in the first match. According to the wishes of the Federation's top leaders, the two of you should decide the winner first, and whoever wins will be responsible for the first match."

Ji Jingqiu raised his eyebrows: "Who is that person?"

"Fei Ziqing." Shi Xuanzhen said, "This person was born in the Sun and Moon Dojo. Three hundred years ago, he had a feud with our Dragon and Tiger Dojo, which has lasted to this day."

At this point, Shi Xuanzhen looked apologetic and said, "I was supposed to deal with this guy, but I didn't expect him to find you first."

Ji Jingqiu grinned and said, "It's alright, why are you saying these things, I'll help you suppress him on the way."

Shi Xuanzhen said seriously: "The fact that this person was selected to participate in the exchange competition proves that his strength is also top-notch among the current generation of Haoyue warriors. I have investigated and found that he successfully pushed his body to 99.9% half a year ago. Now I am afraid that his Dharmakaya domain has been successfully nurtured."

Ji Jingqiu said calmly: "The Dharma Realm is just the prototype of the predecessor of the Dao Field. What I have realized is far ahead of my peers."

Shi Xuanzhen was speechless for a moment.

To be honest, he wasn't too worried at first.

But the incident that happened to Ji Jingqiu just now made him worried at the moment.

After watching Senior Brother Shi leave, Ji Jingqiu's mind calmed down, but a certain fire gradually began to burn in his eyes.

He calmly dialed a number left for him by the Lord God, and informed the other party that he had touched the barrier of rebellion and hurt his true self.

The other party’s reply was simple: I’ll be there soon.

……

This afternoon.

The special envoy from the temple came to visit quietly.

He was a priest in white.

Luo Youde, who was in charge of handling the daily affairs of the Taoist temple, changed his face when he saw this person. He quickly invited this person into the Taoist temple and asked to notify Long Qingyang as soon as possible.

Luo Youde was thankful that Patriarch Yulong had been stationed at the temple recently, otherwise, at this moment in the Longhu Temple, no one would be qualified to receive the temple's high priest, the chosen one of the Four Gods!
The priest in white stopped Luo Youde and chuckled, "No need to be so polite, I'm just here to deliver something."

Luo Youde looked confused. What was it that required the high priest to come in person?

Even if the federal president wants to see this person, he has to make an appointment first!
In terms of status, this person is even higher than the Grandmaster.

Just because he is unprecedented, the chosen one by the four gods!
"Please take me to see Ji Jingqiu next time." The priest in white said with a smile.

Junior-nephew Ji? !

Luo Youde was stunned for a moment, and then quickly led him to the place where Ji Jingqiu was practicing.

Before entering Ji Jingqiu's private courtyard, the priest suddenly whispered:

"I'll just say a few words and leave, so there's no need to bother that Daoist Master Long."

After saying that, he walked into the courtyard.

Looking at this figure, Luo Youde looked solemn and quickly turned and left. Although the other party said so, he still had to notify those who should be notified.

Besides, he was not worried that this person would hurt Ji Jingqiu.

If this person is interested, even their Dragon and Tiger Dojo will not be able to protect Ji Jingqiu, because his words are equivalent to the will of the Four Gods!
The priest in white walked into the courtyard.

Ji Jingqiu was practicing. After sensing someone breaking in, he ended his practice and saw a priest in white sitting in front of him. He placed two boxes in front of him.

"The gods asked me to bring you some 'supplements' to replenish your body." He smiled apologetically and said, "The temple is not as rich as those top forces. We are not as rich in this area. We can only give you these as much as we can."

Ji Jingqiu was solemn, thinking that this person should be the one that the Lord God asked him to contact.

Can someone who can make the Lord God remember the contact information be simple?

"Sorry to trouble you, senior."

"It's not a bother. I wanted to come see you, too." The white-robed priest smiled. "Also, the gods asked me to bring you a few words."

"The first sentence is that you don't have to rush to reverse the innate state now. Wait until the progress of the body is pushed to 99.9% before trying to reverse the innate state. There is a chance to break through the innate barrier and turn the acquired body into the innate body. And these two supplements can help you advance to 99.9% faster."

"The second sentence is more interesting." The white-robed priest said softly, "Before you become a mountain that you can rely on, there will always be someone willing to be your mountain, so don't worry, just wait and see."

After saying this, the priest in white stood up, waved his hand, refused Ji Jingqiu's offer to see him off, and left.

This person came quickly and left quickly, bringing him only some unfamiliar but seemingly extraordinary "supplements" and two sentences, without even leaving a trace of his name.

Ji Jingqiu had no time to savor the second sentence this person left.

A familiar figure returned here. It was Long Qingyang who had been here before.

Long Qingyang put his hands behind his back, glanced at the various resources placed in front of Ji Jingqiu, and muttered, "Damn, what a waste of time."

Then he put his hands behind his back and left leisurely.

When he walked out of the door, Long Qingyang finally took a breath, resisted the urge to look back, and muttered to himself.

A piece of eternal blue sky, a piece of dark candle in the sea of ​​heart.

Over the years, people have always offered offerings to the temple. Why is it that today the temple comes to their Dragon and Tiger Taoist Temple to offer offerings?

Could this kid be the illegitimate son of some god? !
I've never heard that the inheritance can be orderly after becoming a god.

Damn it, if I don’t leave now, I can’t help but want to rob this kid!

……

Seeing Patriarch Long wandering around and then quietly leaving, Ji Jingqiu felt warm in his heart, knowing that this was the elder of the Taoist temple who was worried about him.

He looked at the two supplements in front of him, exhaled slowly, and his eyes were determined.

In fact, he never had a choice.

Just like what the little Bodhi tree asked him that day -

【Live like before.】

……

half a month later.

With the help of two powerful medicines, Ji Jingqiu successfully pushed his formless Taoist body to 99.9%, reaching the peak of the acquired realm.

At this point, the formless Tao body is fully perfected.

The call for the exchange competition from the Federation was also delivered to him.

Ryan traveled to a different world dominated by the ocean. After much effort, he finally transformed from an ordinary person with no talent for cultivation into a "Lich"!
