Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 154: Opportunity to Reverse the Innate, Exchange Competition

Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged in the center of the training ground, opposite Senior Brother Shi.

The whole body was filled with energetic energy, and it looked like a sea of ​​clouds, vast and deep, with undercurrents swirling on the surface, as if an eye of a storm was forming in it, and it was fighting and colliding with a pair of golden dragons and tigers in mid-air.

The so-called Qi, Strength, Spirit and Form not only engraves the legal principles representing the dragon and the tiger into it, but also integrates the true meaning of visualization cultivated by the visualization diagram.

Shi Xuanzhen's dragon and tiger spirits are extremely powerful and everlasting, with a tendency to harmonize yin and yang.

Ji Jingqiu's formless spirit should have originally maintained the same characteristics as the Yiqi Hunyuan Jin, leaving no trace and nowhere to be found. However, after he comprehended the true meaning of Water and Moon and comprehended the Water and Moon Dharma Realm, some changes occurred.

In addition, he has been sculpting the spirit of mountains and rivers in his body, and the amount of his Qi can be described as majestic, with an aura as deep as the sea.

"Junior brother's progress is truly amazing." Shi Xuanzhen shook his head and sighed.

Despite his calmness, he still couldn't help but marvel at this moment.

In just one month, the Wuxiang Dao Body was pushed from 96% to 99.9%. It is no exaggeration to say that this progress is astonishing.

Even in the Federation's ten thousand year martial arts history, it is definitely second to none.

Ji Jingqiu was not arrogant. He knew very well that the reason why he had made rapid progress in the last half month was mainly due to the "supplements" specially sent by the temple.

Thinking of the two supplements, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

He was not very clear about the value of these two supplements.

But after taking it, he found that its effect in strengthening the body and enhancing the essence was even better than the [Qian Zai Kong Qing] that Senior Brother Shi had forced upon him that day!
Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu felt a sense of emotion. He had actually indulged himself by taking drugs to become stronger.

During this period, he took two tonics in succession and tried many times to break free from the curse net.

Every attempt would cause the curse web to riot, causing damage to the self, but it would soon be repaired with the continuous replenishment of tonics.

These two tonics were enough to greatly enhance a warrior's ego, but in his case they only served to heal his wounds, which really distressed him.

But he had no choice, the curse had to be broken.

The God chose someone to send these two tonics to him so that he would have the capital to keep trying and making mistakes.

"Junior brother, someone will come to see you tomorrow at noon. This time, Patriarch Long will go with you to the exchange competition." Shi Xuanzhen said.

Ji Jingqiu asked: "Brother, the battlefield of this battle is not on the Four Guardian Stars?"

Shi Xuanzhen shook his head and said, "No. The Four Guardian Stars are the foundation of the Federation's martial arts. The Federation's top leaders have no plans to let those foreign civilizations spy on the secrets of the Four Guardian Stars for the time being."

Ji Jingqiu nodded in understanding.

In the system of federal martial arts, if one wants to forge a superior body, one must reach the Four Guardian Stars, concentrate one's mind, and use the special field here to sculpt a superior body.

It is absolutely true to say that it is the foundation of martial arts.

"Junior brother, are you feeling better lately?" Shi Xuanzhen asked.

"Much better." Ji Jingqiu said seriously, "After this retreat, I already feel round, complete, and clear inside and out. My opportunity has appeared."

After taking Luo Han Guo, he actually successfully touched the threshold of rebelling against his innate nature. Just as Senior Brother Shi said last time, he somehow sensed the opportunity to rebel against his innate nature.

"Oh?" Shi Xuanzhen asked curiously, "What is Junior Brother's opportunity?"

Going against one's nature is a very mysterious extreme state. Its essence is a kind of [rebirth], a transformation of oneself, and also a kind of [perfection], which involves the sublimation of the soul.

The most difficult part is "sensing".

Some people push their physical progress to 98%, 99% or above, but may not necessarily be able to sense the reversal of their innate nature.

Any secret medicine that can help warriors reach the opportunity to reverse their innate nature is almost astronomically expensive.

——Recently, it has been rumored among the major forces that Shenwei Group destroyed the total assets of a branch company and exchanged it for a monk fruit for their brother Sandao.

Once you sense the opportunity to go against your innate nature, the next steps will be simple, as long as you meet this opportunity.

Everyone has different opportunities to go against their innate nature, which is related to the warrior's current state, past experiences, martial arts practice, state of mind, and even obsessions.

According to the information collected in Longhu Dojo, there was a warrior named Xin Lie in history. His opportunity to rebel against his innate nature was just a bowl of wontons, a bowl of wontons from the depths of his memory.

According to historical records, this man was born in a war-torn area in the western region. On his eighth birthday, he suddenly wanted to eat wontons. His mother went out to buy meat filling and dough for him, but she encountered a gunfight between rebels and never returned home.

This incident was like a thorn that pierced deeply into the warrior's heart.

Later, he tried countless flavors of wontons, but he still couldn't find the taste that belonged to his mother in his memory. He was stuck for two full years before he could rebel against his innate nature.

But later he went against his nature.

According to historical records, it was his 19th birthday. He went to the street to buy flour and meat filling, returned to his former dilapidated home, made himself a bowl of wontons, and finally let go of the past.

This warrior is the commander of the Third Army of the current military, and is also one of the main figures who insists on implementing a high-pressure policy in the West.

Of course, saying goodbye to the past is just one form of this.

Some warriors also defeat a powerful enemy.

Everyone is different.

Shi Xuanzhen was very curious about what kind of opportunity would be there for a young warrior with natural talent like Junior Brother Ji to go against his innate nature.

Ji Jingqiu said frankly:

"It's a ticket for a flight that will depart in twenty days, so it won't be in time for the exchange competition, but it will be enough before the grand martial arts performance."

"Ticket?" Shi Xuanzhen was stunned. What was this opportunity?
"Yes. I have already arranged it. If nothing unexpected happens, twenty days from now will be the day when I will go against my innate nature."

Ji Jingqiu didn't say much, his mind was calm.

The opportunity for him to go against his nature was a ship ticket from an ocean travel company.

It was also the boat ticket left by my grandfather.

At present, he has contacted Lou Qinglan and asked him to help contact the ocean travel company to change the boarding point of this ticket from Si Shou Star to Dong 3 Huang Star.

After finishing this exchange match, he planned to go back to East 3 Huangxing and stay there until the day of boarding.

For him, who has just pushed the progress of his Tao body to 99.9%, the environment and field of the Four Guardian Stars are no longer of much help.

Lou Qinglan asked him if he wanted to just book a new ticket, and the group could help him order the highest standard one.

Moreover, with his current status, if he wanted, a free first-class ticket would probably only be a matter of a word, so there was no need for him to squeeze into an economy class with others.

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a while and finally rejected the kindness and decided to take the economy class ticket that his grandfather had booked for him.

Later, Lou Qinglan replied that he had already negotiated with the Ocean Travel Company. They welcomed young talents like Ji Jingqiu and solemnly invited him to sit in the VIP seat of the first-class cabin. The escorting Master Tianren would also be in the VIP seat...

Ji Jingqiu still politely declined the invitation.

The other side couldn't get away with it, but still expressed its willingness to let the flight divert from the Four Guardian Stars to the East 3 Brilliant Star.

in this way.

His journey to go against his nature has been arranged.

The next key is to find a way to break the curse.

After chatting with Senior Brother Shi, we confirmed the departure time tomorrow at noon.

After Senior Brother Shi left.

Ji Jingqiu's mind also calmed down.

The next day, in addition to continuing to try to break the curse, he also planned to integrate his martial arts.

But before that...

Ji Jingqiu thought about it, took out the terminal, and entered a group chat.

[Cicada]: Good news, good news! My Taoist progress has reached the peak of the acquired level. I will play in the exchange competition tomorrow!

【Yourong】：?

[I Have a Big Gun]: No, it's only been a month! Are you a beast?!

【Stand out from the crowd】: Ah? You? Me?
【Sword Heart Clear】: Brother Ji is truly a talented person!

【婠婠】：What have you eaten recently?
[Six Paths Emperor]: I can’t understand!

[Lei]: Uh, I can’t understand it either. ps: Brother Chengfeng’s online name is really abstract.

[Six Paths Emperor]: You are not as good as me.

[Yourong]: Good luck in the exchange competition!
[Stand out from the crowd]: Suppress all those barbarians!
……

This is the group we created after we drank last time. Usually, not many people talk here. At most, someone will occasionally forward and share a few martial arts videos, or invite others to a fight.

After taking a look at everyone's slightly shocked reactions, Ji Jingqiu nodded with satisfaction, replied "received", then put down the terminal and began to practice.

……

The next day.

Ji Jingqiu followed Long Qingyang onto the spaceship arranged by the federal government and headed for the North 7 Crane Star in the North 7 District, which is closest to the central area.

On the spaceship, Long Qingyang sat opposite Ji Jingqiu and briefly introduced to him the arrangements of this exchange competition and the opponents.

First of all, this exchange battle is an actual battle.

The Federation's most advanced virtual technology can only run on the Four Guardian Stars. Apart from that, even the most advanced virtual technology can hardly perfectly replicate a warrior's strength in all aspects, and there will always be various limitations.

As for the virtual technology of the Four Guardians, such as Baiyujing, to put it bluntly, they are all combined with the power of Hela.

Deep in the wilderness, one of Hela's honorific names is the Goddess of Dreams. The original name of the god includes the title "Lord of Dreams", which is a combination of the world's beautiful dreams and nightmares.

Over the past ten thousand years, the Federation has been making continuous progress in its research on how to utilize Hela and has strived to reach new heights.

"Including the Federation, there are a total of four ancient civilizations participating in the exchange competition, namely the Holy Temple Civilization, the Fallen Phoenix Ancient Country, and the High Court Civilization."

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "Do they look human or non-human? Are they similar to us?"

"These three civilizations are all humanoid allies, just like our Federation, so their overall appearance is not much different from ours, with only some differences in physique at most."

Ji Jingqiu nodded and asked, "Master Long, how do the power systems of these civilizations compare to the Federation?"

Hearing the words "Master Long", Long Qingyang's brows became noticeably more wild, no longer as stern as before.

He said slowly:

"The systems of each civilization may not be the same, but generally speaking, they have commonalities. For example, everyone's division of realms is actually very similar. In the past, everyone thought that they were different paths, but recently I found that they all traced back to the power system of the Wild Nine Continents."

"As far as we know, there are only three people you need to pay attention to right now."

"Lonsar of the Fallen Phoenix, Twilight of the Sept, and Ancient of Highgarden."

"These three people, in their respective civilizations, are undoubtedly the first echelon, and they are also the captains of the three families' True Seed Realm trip."

Ji Jingqiu asked: "Their first step is aimed at our Jiaoyang?"

"Yes, it can be compared with our previous Jiaoyang." Long Qingyang nodded, "The three companies are just testing this time and have not used their full strength, so the Federation's intention is very direct. We must win. If we can't even win in this situation, the three companies will only underestimate us."

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "Among the people we sent out this time, if we only talk about combat power, I'm afraid some of them already have the strength of Jiaoyang in the past, right?"

In the Federation Martial Arts, there is also a basic indicator among the stars, which is 90% progress in superior physical skills combined with the perfection of superior combat skills.

This type of warrior has all the necessary skills, combat techniques, and visualization techniques, without any omissions, and is qualified to be named a Martial Arts Star.

However, there is no specific judging method for Haoyue Warriors. The only judging method is whether they outperform the Qunxing Warriors, which is usually determined by all the judges of the selection competition.

As for Wudao Jiaoyang, his plan was even simpler. He would either achieve two of the three thresholds, or defeat his peers in a grand martial arts performance.

Long Qingyang nodded slightly: "Your team leader this time is Yan Dongshun. In terms of comprehensive combat power alone, he is not inferior to the performance of the previous generation of Jiaoyang warriors."

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "This generation of young warriors in the Federation is at the forefront. What's the situation now?"

Long Qingyang said with some emotion: "According to the previous standards, this generation can produce at least 20 to 30 martial arts masters." Ji Jingqiu was inspired and eager to fight: "Who are they?"

Long Qingyang glanced at him and said, "Haven't you suppressed most of them?"

"Uh……"

Ji Jingqiu was stunned. It turned out that they were talking about Yue Yourong, Yin Wushuang and others.

"It is expected that by the end of this year, the Federation will enter a glorious era of shining stars." Long Qingyang said softly, "This generation of the Dojo has Xuan Zhen in charge, and you are also there to support us, so there is nothing to worry about."

"Master Long, what do you think of my current fighting power that is comparable to Jiaoyang?" Ji Jingqiu asked with a burning gaze.

Long Qingyang groaned for a moment and said, "Show me the strongest attack you can perform now."

"Now? Is this place suitable?" Ji Jingqiu looked around.

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible wave enveloped his body and expanded. The surrounding world seemed to change color, and it was as if he had stepped into another world.

Ji Jingqiu was all too familiar with this fluctuation.

Complete Zhoutian Dojo!
Once Master Tianren's Zhoutian Daochang is launched, it will be no exaggeration to say that it will change the world!
Long Qingyang did not allow for any rebuttal and said, "Go ahead."

Ji Jingqiu looked serious. After regulating his breathing, he stood up and drew his sword.

This was his first full-strength attack after his physical progress reached the peak of the acquired realm.

After entering this realm, his formless Dharma body naturally condensed the Water Moon Dharma Realm.

The power of the law domain is very simple, which is to enhance the mobilization of legal principles within the scope and enhance the power of supernatural powers.

Ji Jingqiu took a step forward, raised his knife, and slashed down.

There is nothing fancy about it, it seems ordinary, but it also seems to be a return to nature. The slash was originally silent, and then the sound of the tide was like thunder!

Long Qingyang's hand, which was stroking his beard, paused slightly.

The knife slashed in front of him and was frozen in the air.

Ji Jingqiu sighed in his heart, this is the complete Zhoutian Daochang, within the Daochang, the rules of heaven and earth are written by the Taoist master, and he has no power to fight back.

Long Qingyang stared at the blade in front of him, raised his hand, pushed away the long sword in front of him, and said thoughtfully:

"What is the name of the domain you just displayed?"

Ji Jingqiu asked doubtfully, "It's Senior Wan's Water Moon Realm. How can Lord Long not recognize it?"

He had just used all his strength, covering the Dharma Domain, the Taoist Temple, and the Guiyi Technique without missing a single one.

"…Change the name, let's call it Sea Moon." Long Qingyang had no expression on his face. "If you think it's not elegant, you can call it Bright Moon Rising Over the Sea."

Ji Jingqiu was puzzled, but he didn't argue with the old man. He just asked, "Does this knife have the qualifications to challenge Jiaoyang?"

Long Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "When you fight the boy from the Sun Moon Dojo later, try to hold back some of your strength and don't kill him all at once."

At this point, the old man sighed, and it was unclear whether his tone was sighing or:
"That's what Bai Lu did back then. He didn't care how hard he fought and almost killed the first generation of Taoist priests from the Sun Moon Dojo. That's why we have been at odds with the Sun Moon Dojo, and we've been entangled with it until today. Alas, when will the cycle of revenge end?"

Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

Why does this sound familiar?

……

……

North 7 Crane Star.

In an old and dilapidated hotel.

"I can't stand it anymore, what a hell of a place this is!" A tall young man, over two meters tall, with red hair and eyebrows, kicked the window frame in front of him hard.

With a loud bang, the metal window frame flew directly into the building opposite, making a loud bang!
In an instant, alarms sounded all around!
"Rose! Watch out for the impact!"

Inside the house, another young man frowned slightly.

“What does it matter?” The man called Ross said violently, “There is no one on the other side. The place these untouchables arranged for us to live is an abandoned city! They are insulting us! Insulting the great ancient country of Luofeng!”

The other young man was silent for a while, then said, "I understand that you are angry, but you should hold it back and use it in the next exchange match."

"Of course!" Ross sneered, "Lu Sen, I will go on stage first. I will tear these untouchables apart! Let them understand the gap between the cultivation systems!"

"Don't underestimate the warriors in this place!" Lu Sen said seriously, "The Federation's martial arts system is not weak!"

Ross sneered and said, "At least I haven't seen a young warrior who can fight until now."

Lu Sen said: "That's normal. I've asked around. The true masters of the younger generation of the Federation are either in the Four Guardian Stars or traveling around, looking for an opportunity to break through."

Ross' eyes flickered as he said, "The Federation is unwilling to let us enter the Four Guardian Planets. The news above is correct. They may have really stolen the secret treasures of the ancient gods! They are unwilling to let us land on the Four Guardian Planets because they are afraid that we will take away what belongs to them."

Lu Sen sighed softly, "The secret treasure of the ancient gods... What a lucky tribe. They were able to rise so quickly, right? I heard that they have discovered the passage to Jiuzhou. If we don't suppress them, they are likely to catch up with us."

"Alright, let's stop discussing this." A warrior with a slightly agitated look said impatiently, "It is not us who decide whether to start a war, but the subsequent battle between heaven and man."

"It's boring. Let's finish the fight quickly. I have to go back and prepare for the battle in Starry Sky Corridor at the end of the year." Another warrior with a cold expression walked out of the room.

"By the way, where is Longsa?" Lu Sen looked around but couldn't find the captain.

……

……

"This battle will not be made public?"

Twilight stood in front of the glass window, looking at the dilapidated and desolate city outside, and said with regret,
"Then Brother Qingshan won't be able to see me sparring with his idol, right?"

The middle-aged man standing behind him smiled bitterly and said, "The Federation's hostility towards us is obvious. Your Highness has suffered this time."

Twilight did not comment: "It's nothing more than how the Holy Temple treated the Federation in the past, and how the Federation is returning the favor now. Don't worry, it's just a little shabby, I can't bear such a small hardship."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Our whereabouts are being monitored the entire time, and we can't enter the Four Guardian Stars at all. I'm afraid we can't complete this mission."

Twilight said calmly, "Sometimes I always feel that the people above are pretty stupid. Why do they think that the Federation will treasure our goodwill? Because we have been making things difficult for them for the past ten thousand years?"

The middle-aged man was speechless.

Twilight shook her head and said, "Of course, I can understand the Federation's actions, but I'm still unhappy. I will vent my emotions on the younger generation of their generation."

The middle-aged man said respectfully: "From the information we have collected so far, the most prosperous generation of the Federation has not yet truly grown up. With your strength, Your Highness, you are more than enough to sweep them all away at the moment."

"Sweep?"

Thinking of the warrior named Yan whom he met before, Twilight pondered,
"There are still a few warriors in the Federation who are worthy of attention."

……

……

After arriving at North 7 Crane Star.

Ji Jingqiu followed Long Qingyang out of the airport and, with the help of a special person, arrived at an abandoned old city area.

"Tsk tsk, they are really 'hospitable' up there, inviting people to stay in a place like this." Long Qingyang said in a strange tone.

Ji Jingqiu looked up and saw that the tall buildings on both sides were not low, with hundreds of floors at least, but they were quite old, and the outer walls had been corroded to varying degrees, making them look somewhat dilapidated and desolate.

Some glass windows were even broken, but instead of being repaired, they were covered with wooden boards or other things.

This made Ji Jingqiu a little difficult to comment.

Even in TA City on the East 3 Brilliant Star, this situation will not occur in the middle and lower levels.

The city reveals the desolation unique to the post-industrial era, like an abandoned city.

The Federation has really picked a good place.

"Don't the authorities worry about losing face?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.

Long Qingyang laughed and said, "It's obvious that the higher-ups are trying to make things difficult for the three delegations. As for being embarrassed? That's not important. What's important is who needs whom. The Federation has now found a passage to Jiuzhou and no longer cares about the attitudes of these three families."

Ji Jingqiu said thoughtfully: "Where is the demeanor of a great country?"

"Style is for friends to see, not for enemies." Long Qingyang said tirelessly, "Remember, when General Ji was alive, he said that the Federation would remember the kindness of friends for life and would fight to the death with enemies. You are still young and don't understand. When the Heavenly Road first appeared, we were troubled by these three families a lot."

He pinched a strand of his beard and said, "But then again, I can understand that the delegation is staying here, but..."

He suddenly turned around and saw a middle-aged man jogging towards them.

"Master Long and Mr. Ji, right? Oh, I'm sorry, the arrangement is wrong!" The middle-aged man said apologetically, "I'm from the War Affairs Department. Please wait a moment. We have arranged a nearby spaceship and will take you to your resting place soon."

Long Qingyang nodded slightly.

That's as it should be.

At this moment, an old man with an angry look appeared on the scene. He seemed to be looking for the middle-aged man, but after seeing Long Qingyang, his expression changed.

"Celestial being?" His expression showed a bit of respect. Even in the ancient country of Luofeng, celestial beings were a well-deserved powerful class.

Long Qingyang glanced at him and ignored him.

The old man saluted slightly, then looked at the middle-aged man, suppressed his anger and said: "Mr. Feng, is it necessary to humiliate us like this? If you are unwilling to arrange a dormitory for us, we can pay for it ourselves!"

The middle-aged man surnamed Feng apologized immediately, and hypocritically said that the North 7 Crane Star was a planet with a very rich historical and cultural heritage. The Federation had seriously considered holding the exchange competition there, but they didn't expect that there were too many tourists recently and they couldn't spare any extra rooms at once...

Ji Jingqiu almost laughed out loud.

The word "perfunctory" was almost written on the face of this comrade from the War Affairs Department.

He looked around everywhere.

It had rained not long ago, and the streets of this old town were full of puddles. The sky was still a little dark, with cumulus clouds still hanging around.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly realized something.

Looking back.

Across the road.

There stood a man in white clothes and white hair, more than two meters tall, holding a crimson enchanting long sword in one hand. He lowered his head, and his cold eyes stared at Ji Jingqiu's reflection through the puddle in the middle of the road.

Ji Jingqiu lowered his head and looked into the white-haired man's eyes through his reflection on the water.

For an instant.

The invisible aura confrontation began.

The calm water surface suddenly began to ripple, as if the ground beneath one's feet began to tremble!
Long Qingyang and the old man from another civilization noticed the movement here and turned their eyes over at the same time.

After seeing that it was Longsa, the old man's face changed slightly and he looked at Long Qingyang beside him vigilantly.

He was not worried that Longsa would fail, but he was worried that after Longsa hurt the young man, this celestial being would act without moral integrity!
In their ancient country, Longsa is one of the few people in the younger generation who possesses the power of sword. He is only one step away from condensing the soul of sword!
In previous battle records, he could crush his enemies directly with his sword power at the spiritual level!

Long Qingyang did not intervene.

If he remembered correctly, this person of his had attained the state of spiritual concentration that comprehended the meaning of impermanence.

this moment.

Longsa's brows were filled with solemnity. Instead of defeating the young man in front of him, the aura of his sword seemed to have awakened something.

Right behind this young man, a bloody aura that only they could sense was slowly spreading.

Longsa was shocked. How many lives had this young man killed to condense such blood evil?
Soon, he saw a blood tiger with its head held high among the bloody evil, opening its wild and deep tiger eyes.

It stared at the ferocious and violent blood-red phoenix shadow condensed with the aura of a knife on Longsa's shoulder.

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone! I went home to celebrate the festival today. I was very busy all day. I rushed and finally made it. Aba...
