Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 158 The So-called Backer (7k5)

After leaving the ring, Twilight walked back to the venue calmly.

When the other four team members saw him, they saluted slightly, but their expressions became subtle without exception.

I didn't expect that this Holy Son would be defeated.

Then this trip back...

Two of them looked at each other, eager to challenge him on the spot and replace his position as the Son of God.

Having led the team to defeat in the first battle, and having offended Her Highness the Saint before, Twilight will definitely be held accountable when he returns, and even his position as the Son of God will be in danger.

Obviously, they were not the only ones who could think of this.

The middle-aged man who was Twilight's follower walked over quickly with a heavy look on his face.

After seeing this person, Twilight subconsciously remembered his previous remarks, and his expression inevitably became a little unnatural. He turned and looked towards the Federation.

The middle-aged man stepped forward worriedly and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid you should be prepared to be held accountable when you return this time."

"No problem. The mission was completed in excess. Even that crazy woman can't find a reason to hold me accountable."

Twilight's voice was still steady and calm, like a mountain that had weathered storms but still stood firm, once again revealing the calmness that everything was under control.

The middle-aged man was stunned. Exceeding the target?

He really wanted to tell His Highness that this was not funny, at least not as funny as your metaphor of "seeing me is like seeing a mountain" not long ago...

But reason told him that although their prince often had some "unique ideas" that were different from ordinary people, he was not stupid.

On the contrary, in terms of comprehensive abilities in all aspects, Your Highness can be ranked among the top saints of this generation.

Excess… ?
The middle-aged man suddenly thought of something, raised his head in surprise, and looked at Ji Jingqiu of the Federation.

wrong!

This person’s surname is Ji, not Mu, and he is not from one of the six major families.

Twilight looked at Ji Jingqiu from afar, with all kinds of thoughts emerging in her mind.

The reason why the Holy Principality has rejected the Federation and refused to communicate with it for ten thousand years is largely due to one person.

——Mu Shuai, one of the seven marshals of the Federation, Mu Shitian.

This person's inheritance is listed as a taboo among taboos by the temple.

In addition to fulfilling his normal diplomatic duties during his visit to the Federation, the Archbishop of the Temple also gave him a special task - to collect as much information as possible about the Mu family.

Unfortunately, the Federation was not interested in their mission at all, and many of their ideas before coming were difficult to implement, let alone visit the Mu family.

The only information obtained from the federal network is that among the young people of the Mu family...

It seems that nothing is too outstanding.

but now.

Twilight stared at Ji Jingqiu's back as he stepped down from the stage, feeling an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart.

He was definitely not wrong about the unique charm of the secret technique that the other party had displayed earlier!

Even if this guy didn't master the highest inheritance of the Mu family, he definitely practiced the related secret techniques!
The only problem is that his last name is not Mu. If he wants to convince those people to believe him when he returns, it might be a bit troublesome...

Hmm, could this guy be the Mu family’s illegitimate son?
Twilight nodded confidently.
……

……

With Twilight admitting defeat, the exchange competition, which lasted less than half a day, came to a successful conclusion.

Ji Jingqiu, who had basically defeated the enemy alone, declined the invitation to the celebration banquet and prepared to say goodbye to Master Qingyang. Then he bought the fastest boat ticket and returned to Dongsanhuang Star.

But he hadn't walked far when he ran into an unexpected acquaintance who shouted in surprise:
"Brother Knife!"

The figure standing not far away was Leng Dao, who had not been seen for several months.

Leng Dao was standing on the side of the road, in front of him was a burly man with a rough and bold face. His physique was no less than those warriors of the ancient country of Luofeng.

After seeing Ji Jingqiu, Leng Dao also revealed a faint smile, which surprised Yan Ruhuo who was standing by.

This ice cube can also smile?!

Ji Jingqiu walked over quickly. Leng Dao carefully looked Ji Jingqiu up and down and said seriously, "Aqiu, you have become stronger."

Before Ji Jingqiu could speak, the sturdy man next to him curled his lips and said, "This kid took on two Jiaoyang warriors from the Holy Hall and Luofeng by himself. How can he not be strong?"

"This is Yan Ruhuo, from the Combat Command Department. It was he who arranged your selection for the exchange competition." Leng Dao gave a brief introduction.

"Senior Yan." Ji Jingqiu called politely.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with Leng Dao." Yan Ruhuo laughed heartily, "Remember to come and watch the fight in a week!"

Ji Jingqiu's heart moved: "Brother Dao, are you here to play the exchange match too?"

Leng Dao nodded: "Old Yan and I are in charge of the exchange competition for the Shackle Realm. The competition will start in a week. Do you want to come and watch?"

A week later... Ji Jingqiu was very tempted, but finally refused.

"Not this time. I have to hurry back to Donghuang Star and then plan to rebel against the innate." Ji Jingqiu said regretfully.

Leng Dao nodded and said indifferently: "It is important to go against one's innate nature. Besides, this kind of exchange competition is actually nothing to watch. Those who came from the High Court and the Holy Hall are all familiar faces."

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "Has the Federation also had exchange competitions with them before?"

Leng Dao shook his head: "It's not an exchange competition, but several secret realms of the universe in the surrounding star fields. When you break into the realm of divine wandering in the future, you will have the opportunity to come into contact with them."

Yan Ruhuo also spoke up: "We have very little contact with the surrounding civilizations, or even no contact at all. The only contact we had before was a few secret places in the universe, which are much more interesting than the ring competition."

Leng Dao said, "Aqiu, is it convenient for you next time? If it is convenient, please wait for me for a while, I will take you to see someone."

"Okay, I don't have anything to do next." Ji Jingqiu agreed readily, just in time to receive the message from Patriarch Qingyang.

After replying to the message, Leng Dao dealt with the situation, said goodbye to Yan Ruhuo, and then went to the airport with Ji Jingqiu.

……

……

Yan Lu ended the call with Wan Cheng.

Wan Cheng's emotional words still lingered in her ears, making her feel dazed.

The company's top management knew about Wan Cheng's participation in the exchange competition and originally wanted to cooperate in the publicity, but they did not expect the federation to suddenly change its mind and prohibit any outside spread of the news.

"Too fast..." Yan Lu murmured.

According to Wan Cheng, Ji Jingqiu single-handedly defeated two Jiaoyang-level geniuses from the other three civilizations and won the entire exchange competition!
The speed of his rise and growth... is too fast!
As a professional manager, Yan Lu is familiar with the growth history of famous geniuses in history.

Many of them were originally unknown but later became famous overnight, but none of them could maintain the amazing growth rate like Ji Jingqiu.

Even Ji Linyuan, from an overall perspective, is probably inferior to him at this point.

He was growing so fast, so fast that there was no doubt that he had not yet touched the upper limit of the True Seed Realm and would continue to grow!

Thinking back to the day five months ago when Zhang Chongba had a meeting with me...

A complex emotion emerged in Yan Lu's heart.

She missed out on a...unique martial arts genius.

……

……

After the exchange competition, Yao Heshan returned to his base and entered a projection meeting through an encrypted channel.

At the conference center was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a tough face, calm and dignified demeanor, and an extraordinary bearing.

Even though there was a projection between them, Yao Heshan could still feel the strong spiritual outlook from the president. This proved that the other party's martial arts spirit was extremely strong and he would probably break through soon.

When he came in, several people in the meeting were talking in low voices.

"…How is the war going in the west?"

"It has been stabilized for the time being, but it will be troublesome to take back the lost territory. The rebels are unwilling to make concessions. Their conditions are very difficult and we cannot agree to them." The general from the Ministry of Defense said in a deep voice.

"...The Ke family is still unwilling to let go?" Liu Zhong slowly frowned.

"That's normal. Their arrangements on the Heavenly Road still haven't achieved any results."

Liu Zhong's eyes were cold and stern as he said, "The Ke family has gone too far this time. I will go to discuss this with the other families later. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

The general said happily: "It would be best if you are willing to come forward."

Liu Zhong shook his head and said, "It's not that I am willing to come forward, but the Ke family has been making trouble for too long, and the other families will not let them go on like this. If I come forward at this time, those families can take advantage of the situation to make a move."

The general narrowed his eyes and said, "I really can't understand why the Ke family would go to this extent. Just for a former martial arts star, they made such a mess..."

Liu Zhong shook his head. He knew some secrets, but he didn't want to discuss this issue any further. He looked at Yao Heshan and said with a smile:

"Master Yao is here. Is the exchange competition over?"

Liu Zhong suddenly thought of something and glanced at the time. He was slightly surprised and said, "It's over so soon? Could it be that the talents selected by the War Affairs Department gave us an unexpected surprise?"

He said this with a tentative tone, because Yao Heshan's expression at the moment was somewhat heavy and complicated.

This doesn't seem like a surprise win...

Yao Heshan thought to himself, it was indeed a surprise.

Among the five people this time, the one who should have been the real leader was Yan Dongshun, who had the fighting power of the previous years.

As for Ji Jingqiu, he was the fifth vacancy filled after Yan Ruhuo from the War Control Department visited Grandmaster Ning of the Four Guardian Stars.

But they didn't expect that this young man, who was originally just a by-product, would make another leap forward in just one month, and single-handedly defeated the Proud Sun Warriors of the Holy Hall and Luo Feng.

too fast……

This was the only thought that Yao Heshan had after reading Ji Jingqiu's past information.

This kid's progress is so fast!

It is so fast that it makes people feel dazed and uneasy, as if the dazzling brilliance at the moment is just a fleeting meteor.

After Yao Heshan calmed down, he reported to the president what had just happened.

"Ji Jingqiu..."

Hearing that they had won, and it was an overwhelming victory, Liu Zhong's expression immediately relaxed, showing relief and emotion, and jokingly said,
"The Federation has produced another genius this generation. This is a blessing for the Federation! Why does Master Yao look so unhappy? I thought we lost unexpectedly."

Yao Heshan sighed and relayed the public statement made by the Qin family master not long ago.

Hearing this, Liu Zhong pondered for a moment. This matter was indeed a bit tricky, but strictly speaking it was nothing.

The six major families have never been an ironclad organization. Even the seven marshals had many internal conflicts back then, let alone their descendants.

And for the Federation, the disputes between them are actually a good thing.

In comparison, Liu Zhong paid more attention to the situation of this young man.

"Master Yao, what do you think of this young man named Ji Jingqiu?" Liu Zhong asked.

"Very good." Yao Heshan said without hesitation.

Because this is the fact, anyone who has witnessed Ji Jingqiu's performance, unless they are going against their conscience, will not deny his excellence.

Liu Zhong raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you compare with those guys?"

Yao Heshan knew that the president was asking about young people at the level of Ji Anquan and Qin Qingjue.

He murmured, "If he was born in one of the six major families, I think he might be better than those people."

Liu nodded. This was a rather subtle statement, but it was also true.

The foundation of the six major families is really too profound.

"Master Yao, what do you think is the probability that he can achieve the innate great perfection?"

Yao Heshan laughed bitterly and said, "No one can predict this, not even the Grandmaster. It all depends on him."

After saying that, he seemed to see what was going on and asked tentatively, "Does the president think Ji Jingqiu is qualified to compete for the position of leader?"

Liu Zhong smiled and said, "We have no say on this position. It depends on the young people themselves. After all, the battlefield will be in Jiuzhou, and we can't interfere."

Yao Heshan nodded thoughtfully.

He already knew what the president meant.

"I just didn't expect that the conflict between the Qin family and the Ji family has reached the point where they would rather recommend an outsider than make the Ji family uncomfortable..."

Liu Zhong smiled and stopped there, as if he was just saying it casually, but the hidden meaning in it made the other people present look stern.

"If you are talking about Ji Jingqiu, then I have a different opinion." The current director of the Security Bureau, Lin Wenshan, suddenly spoke up.

Director Lin, who was sitting at the side, had no special features in his figure or appearance. When he was not speaking, he seemed to have no sense of existence among the crowd. But when he opened his mouth, the others had to look at him and listen carefully.

Lin Wenshan said directly: "Someone told me that this young man is suffering from the evil poison disease. The reason why he has not yet reversed his innate nature may be related to this. If he wants to reverse his innate nature, he must first pass a life and death test."

Yao Heshan frowned and asked, "What life and death?"

Lin Wenshan apologized, "This involves a secret of X-level authority. With your current authority, Mr. Yao, you are temporarily unable to access it."

Liu Zhong raised his eyebrows. The secret of X-level authority?

He didn't rush to ask what was going on, but instead said in a pointed way, "Old Lin, why do I feel like you don't think highly of this young man?"

Lin Wenshan said calmly, "In fact, the Security Bureau had thought about winning him over before, but later we found that this guy might have been won over by the Administration beforehand."

Hearing this news, Liu Zhong suddenly remembered something.

It was a meeting a few months ago. When Mu Xianhe expressed that what the Federation needed was a true martial arts genius, a one-of-a-kind genius, the old director of the Administration, who attended the meeting via projection, specially stood up and spoke for Ji Jingqiu.

I didn't think there was anything wrong at the time.

After all, judging by the tone of the old director at the time, it was hard to say that he wasn't sarcastic. And even if he wasn't, he was often a troublemaker...

But now it seems that what Lin Wenshan said was probably right.

No wonder, the conflict between the Security Bureau and the Administration Bureau has been going on for a long time. Liu Zhong smiled and said, "Old Lin, don't be personal. Putting aside the Administration Bureau, Ji Jingqiu is still an excellent young man."

Lin Wenshan shook his head and said, "If you are interested, you can go and learn about the secrets of the evil poison disease. It's not that I have a personal bias, but it's really difficult for him to go against his innate nature."

at this time.

Lin Wenshan suddenly received a message. He lowered his head and looked shocked.

He looked up at the other people, finally stopping at Liu Zhong, his expression solemn, and nodded slightly.

Liu Zhong immediately understood and found an excuse to end the meeting.

After the other people left the meeting room, Lin Wenshan said in a low voice: "The latest information, according to our tip-off, Ji Linyuan is suspected to have appeared."

Liu Zhong said solemnly, "He appeared on the Heavenly Road? What's the situation now? Has anyone from the Ke family made any move?"

Lin Wenshan shook his head and said, "He did not appear in the Heavenly Road, but went to find the Dharma King of the Supreme True Buddha Sect."

Liu Zhong frowned.

The Supreme Buddha Sect? Why the Supreme Buddha Sect?

……

……

Ji Jingqiu and Leng Dao boarded a private spaceship and spent half a day traveling to Taiwei Star, which is not far from Bei7he Star and is also one of the four core planets in the central area.

Unlike the four guardian stars, Taiwei Star is a proper residential star.

After landing on Taiwei Star, it was evening.

As soon as you get off the airport, there will be a special car waiting at the door.

"Brother Dao, who are you going to see? Mynah bird?" Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but feel curious.

"Old Eight is still on a mission in the west. I was temporarily transferred back." Leng Dao shook his head and suddenly smiled, "By the way, have you met Qin Lao San?"

"Qin Lao San? No."

"His real name is Qin Jing. He is a descendant of the Qin family and the head of the third department of our management bureau." Leng Dao introduced him and said with a smile, "He talked to us about you in the communication before and said that you are very good."

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself that he had never seen this person before.

The only person from the Administration he had met in the Four Guardian Stars was Zhou Zhongda.

The car stopped under a hotel.

On the way here, Ji Jingqiu noticed this hotel. In terms of height alone, it is comparable to Baiyujing. Standing at the foot and looking up, you can't see the top at all.

"Let's go." Leng Dao called out, "This hotel is called Lingyun Pavilion. It has 1999 floors. From the highest stand, you can see the view of space."

He paused and said, "This is the property of my brother-in-law's family."

Ji Jingqiu was in awe, it turned out to be a dog owner!

At the same time, he also had some guesses in his mind about the person Leng Dao wanted to bring him to see.

how to say.

He was not opposed to it. Instead, he wanted to see the little guy whose fate was similar to his own.

Led by Leng Dao, the two took the vertical elevator to the 999th floor.

At the elevator door stood a young woman who was dressed elegantly but had red eyes and looked a little haggard.

In her arms, there was a cute baby girl sleeping soundly. Her long eyelashes were like two small fans, trembling gently with every even breath.

Her little mouth was slightly pouting, as if she was having a sweet dream.

"Sister, I brought Aqiu to see Xiaochan." Leng Dao said softly.

The young woman looked at the boy in front of her with infatuated eyes, as if she saw her own daughter who had grown up tenaciously sixteen years later.

Leng Dao stepped forward and took the baby girl from her arms, his eyes full of pity.

His sister took a step forward, gently held Ji Jingqiu's hands, looked at the young man in front of her from head to toe, her eyes full of pity and her body trembling slightly.

She wondered how this child had managed to survive until now?
Will my children be able to grow up healthy and strong like him?

Ji Jingqiu looked calm and held the woman's hand in front of him with a little force, as if giving her confidence.

The young woman finally couldn't help herself and gently took the young man in front of her into her arms.

Feeling the warm and fragrant embrace, Ji Jingqiu slowly closed his eyes, as if he was feeling the embrace of his long-lost mother.

After a long time.

Ji Jingqiu took the little girl from Brother Dao's hands. He didn't know if it was because of the way he held her, but the moment he took her, the little girl's long eyelashes trembled and slowly opened. Her clear eyes stared at him with full curiosity.

The woman next to her looked surprised.

The daughter, who had always been shy, did not cry or struggle today. She just stared quietly at Ji Jingqiu in front of her.

Then she slowly stretched out her white and delicate little hand.

Grasped Ji Jingqiu's fingers tightly.

Looking at the baby girl in front of him, Ji Jingqiu's thoughts drifted away and he thought about his own childhood.

He leaned over gently and pressed his forehead lightly against the baby girl's forehead.

It will be fine.

Just wait until I can break through this heavy bondage.

if only……

hold on.

……

Five fifty in the morning.

Ji Jingqiu stood on the glass terrace. The floor under his feet was also made of special glass, so he could see the surging sea of ​​clouds below.

This is simply a cabin in the clouds and a sky garden.

The feeling of stepping on the sea of ​​clouds under your feet inevitably gives you a sense of conquering nature.

He checked the cost of this hotel yesterday and it was ridiculously high. Moreover, the glass terrace he was on was not open to the public. Even if you had money, you couldn't buy a seat. It was only for VIPs.

Well, you are the VIP.

The wind was cool at high altitude. Looking at the sea of ​​clouds slowly rising and falling below his feet, Ji Jingqiu's heart was calm and quiet.

Leng Dao woke up at some point, came to the glass terrace and stood beside Ji Jingqiu.

"What, can't sleep?"

"I don't sleep much now. I just meditate instead."

"Well... sometimes don't be too impatient, this applies to martial arts and life." Leng Dao paused, "Occasionally you can try to slow down, like sleeping until you wake up naturally after a long time."

He warned: "Especially when you enter the realm of spiritual wandering, you must remember one thing, to try your best to maintain the ability to be satisfied with the trivialities of life, which will help you eliminate the instability brought about by divinity."

Ji Jingqiu nodded. It had been a long time since he had a big meal.

"Aqiu."

Leng Dao took a deep look at Ji Jingqiu and suddenly said,

"Sixteen years later, have you waited until the day you break through the ground?"

Ji Jingqiu's eyes narrowed, and he said softly, "Almost there, only one step left."

"Is it the step of going against the innate nature?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded: "I have sensed the opportunity. Once I break through this level, it will be the moment for me to escape from the cage."

Leng Dao hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There is a great opportunity on the East 3 Huang Star. You can go around and have a look. Maybe you will be noticed by that person, but remember not to be too persistent. Remember the two words 'follow fate'."

Ji Jingqiu was surprised and asked, "Brother Dao, you are not talking about He Shuai, right?"

Leng Dao was also startled: "You heard about it too?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded and said frankly: "I heard it by accident, but I don't think there is much hope."

By the way, he had previously used this news to exchange some intelligence with the Wilderness Cult.

"Things that you deliberately look for are often not found. Everything in the world comes and goes at its own time." Ji Jingqiu shrugged.

Leng Dao felt that this sentence made a lot of sense.

The two leaned on the glass terrace and chatted for a long time.

When talking about Leng Dao's niece, Ji Jingqiu said: "People with a backer will have the motivation to survive no matter how difficult life is."

"You too?" Leng Dao asked.

"Of course." Ji Jingqiu said seriously, "My former supporters were my parents and my grandfather."

"And from now on, I will become a support for myself and others!"

Listening to Ji Jingqiu's words, Leng Dao did not find it funny, because he believed that Ji Jingqiu could really do it.

He looked down and saw the sea of ​​clouds below, sometimes surging and sometimes calm. Thousands of feet of golden light emerged from under the sea of ​​clouds, like thousands of brilliant golds.

During the conversation, Leng Dao suddenly noticed that Ji Jingqiu had beads of sweat on his forehead.

Only then did he realize that Ji Jingqiu's appearance here at this time was not simply to see the scenery.

Now is the time when his evil poison disease will occur...

He didn't say anything else, but worry appeared in his eyes.

He had never witnessed Ji Jingqiu having an attack.

According to what Ji Jingqiu said when he prescribed the medicine, although this prescription can solidify the time of onset, it will also cause the pain to accumulate little by little until it exceeds the limit that a person can bear.

What is the current state of Ji Jingqiu... to what extent has he accumulated so much?
Leng Dao remained silent.

However, to his surprise, Ji Jingqiu remained very calm.

Especially his eyes.

Just like the sky dyed by the sun, clear, gentle and warm.

……

……

Huang Fuxing was in a heavy mood and gnashed his teeth.

Just now, he received a message from his teacher.

The New Law faction still discovered something unusual and is now searching for the cause.

He must inform Ji Jingqiu as soon as possible... and tell him to hide as much as possible! He must not enter the Kingdom of God in the near future, and he must not leave the Four Guardian Stars!
Once the New Law Faction discovers his existence, they will definitely try every means to bring Ji Jingqiu back!
……

The Supreme Buddha Sect.

"Your Majesty, we have found some clues. For example, the guy surnamed Huang actually only sold one monk fruit to Shenwei Group, but received twice the market price."

A middle-aged man reported in a deep voice.

"Oh?" The old man responded. His face was covered with deep wrinkles, like gullies formed by the constant erosion of the river in the wasteland. He raised his eyelids slightly and asked, "Have you found out where the other monk fruit went?"

"We are investigating and we will have clues soon." The middle-aged man replied quickly, "This guy is very cunning and has no internal forces, but I have found clues and will soon be able to find the answer."

The old man hummed with satisfaction: "Deal with it as soon as possible, and then bring the talent they have hidden to me. I want to see what kind of talent the Ancient School has placed such high hopes on."

The middle-aged man said respectfully: "Understood!"

Just now.

The middle-aged man looked up and suddenly discovered that the face of the Dharma King in front of him, the strongest person in the Supreme True Buddha Sect, suddenly twisted.

How is this going?

How many things are there in this world that are worthy of their King of Dharma changing his color like this?
This was his last thought.

The next moment, he was shattered to pieces by a mighty fist that was as vast as the ocean, as powerful as a prison, and that suppressed the boundless starry sky!

"Ji...Linyuan?!" Zuo Qianqiu recognized this iconic and arrogant fist style!

Someone was walking slowly towards us.

The vast boxing spirit is boiling hot, going against the current, glorious throughout the world.

He is no longer young, but his arrogance is still overwhelming, filling the world.

It seemed as if time had adjusted his age, but it could not reduce the arrogance and arrogance in his chest in the slightest.

Feeling the martial power of this fist that could suppress the starry sky, Zuo Qianqiu felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, his eyes wide open in anger. He was totally puzzled as to why this arrogant young man did not go looking for trouble with the Ke family, but instead came looking for trouble with him!
and……

Such a fist intention, such a fist intention...

This person was clearly just a junior a hundred years ago!!!
today.

Someone came here for only one thing.

Ask this person who claimed to be the closest to the master a hundred years ago, is his Buddhist teachings more powerful or his fists?
As for the reason.

It was nothing more than what happened on the Dong 3 Huang Star in those years. The old man basically saw it all, but if someone didn't say it, then he wouldn't say anything either.

But he didn't say it, but he always...

To do something.

No... must try to adjust the update time
