Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 167: The Soul Soars to the Eight Extremes, All Things Are Empty

Ji Jingqiu briefly explained his experience of establishing the prototype of the Taoist temple, and Aunt Mu was relieved.

[The martial arts system of your Federation is very special and has undergone several major changes. My last memory is that you created a method to create a bloodline Dharma body after birth. It is simply shocking.]

[I thought you had opened up a new way to master the basic form of the dojo by reaching the True Seed Realm...]

The Federation's martial arts are unique when viewed from the perspective of the universe and Kyushu.

As far as Ji Jingqiu knows now, other civilization systems either use external objects as the basis of their Taoism, like the Ancient Kingdom of Luofeng; or they follow the path of bloodline and cultivate the bloodline Dharma body; and there are also like the Holy Temple Civilization, which follows the most special path of worshiping gods.

The system constructed by the Federation's martial arts in the realm of true seed is the only one in the world.

For low- and middle-level skills, there are still traces to follow, and they also use external objects to transform the body, but the degree is not deep.

However, constructing a superior body of skill is almost out of touch with reality. Starting from scratch, building a body of skill that is comparable to many top-notch bloodline bodies is something only the Federation can do.

You must know that the internal power structures and sublimation systems of many civilizations and ethnic groups are based on the most primitive and solid bloodlineages.

Bloodline is the source of both strength and power, ancient yet stable.

The reason why the Federation can achieve this is based on Lajiang’s personal sacrifice.

It really is a bit like sacrificing one person for the happiness of the entire federation...

After Jin Xi was defeated, none of the remaining young men in the clan continued to challenge.

It's not that they are afraid of fighting, but they think they have no way to fight back, and even if they challenge, it will only be a formality.

Jin Lie walked up quickly, his lips curled up, his smile came from the heart, without any embellishment, and was very direct.

"Alright! Today's battle ends here. You little guys who think highly of yourselves, do you know how much you are worth?"

He drove away the younger generation, stepped forward and whispered: "Master Ji, what are you going to do next?"

Ji Jingqiu said: "Senior Jin, I will go back to Aunt Mu next."

"Okay! Just call me Lao Jin." Jin Lie grinned.

Ji Jingqiu was speechless: "Then it should be Uncle Jin."

Jin Lie originally wanted to return with Ji Jingqiu, but unexpectedly someone from the tribe came up to him and whispered a few words. He then turned around and noticed the guests from the top of the mountains who had arrived.

Frowning, Jin Lie turned around and went to greet him.

"How are you guys? What are your names?"

"My name is Lei Yuanting, from the Cang Lei clan, and this time I am here to visit the nobles on behalf of the Mountain Top."

Lei Yuanting glanced at Ji Jingqiu who was leaving, his eyes flickering as he said,

"Excuse me, who is that?"

Jin Lie calmly moved his body to block Lei Yuanting's sight, and said with a smile:

"Emissary Lei, let's talk about what you are here for."

……

……

Back under the ancient tree, Ji Jingqiu began to listen to Aunt Mu's advice.

Aunt Mu's vision is even higher than that of Patriarch Qingyang. It's because she once followed Senior He to explore the ancient path of inheritance!
In the entire federation, no one knows better than her what kind of warriors are qualified to compete for the ranking in the Eternal Monument.

[The heavenly body of our universe is also the strongest foundation of the Dao in Jiuzhou, equivalent to the top bloodline Dharma body, the ancestor's true body, or the body of God mentioned in those temples and secret religions. ]

[But the so-called strongest Dao base only stays at the True Seed Realm, and the final battle on the Ancient Road will be at the Divine Wandering Realm. So you must complete the ultimate sublimation on the Ancient Road and transform your Dao base into real combat power.]

[In the history of the Forest of Stars, there have been genius warriors who have proven themselves to be innate, but the highest was only ranked 243rd in the Eternal Monument. This is already a very remarkable achievement.]

[The names recorded in the Eternal Monument cover time and are divided into different levels. For example, the lowest level area only records geniuses from ten thousand years, while the highest level war zone like the Far East War Zone has a time limit of one million years.]

[If you want to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ahch, you must find your own path to invincibility, a path that belongs only to you. ]

"The road to invincibility?" Ji Jingqiu was shocked when he heard this word.

[Yes, the road to invincibility! ]

[You have to forge your own path, not just follow the old path. You have to develop your own unique characteristics that are difficult for outsiders to imitate.]

[The reason why the Xiantian Dao Body is called the strongest Dao Foundation is because of the existence of innate magical powers. This is your unique characteristic, but if you want to dominate with this, it is far from enough. ]

[You must remember that your enemies are not only your peers of the present generation, but also all the outstanding people who have illuminated history throughout the ages! ]

[Only by developing your own characteristics to the extreme and walking your own path, will you be qualified to suppress all the geniuses throughout the ages! ]

A martial arts path that belongs to you alone...

These words made Ji Jingqiu's blood boil.

Ever since he attained the innate Taoist body, he has been sorting out what he has learned and his strengths. He has already had a vague idea. Now with Aunt Mu's guidance, ideas gradually form in his mind.

[You said before that the prototype of your dojo was first created using the two secret methods of the Eternal Sword and the knife-carving axe-chisel to carve the body, spirit and form?]

"Yes, this is the beginning of everything." Ji Jingqiu said seriously.

[What kind of god are you carving? ]

"The divine form of mountains and rivers. One of my elders even gave me a true intention of mountains and rivers."

[Well, maybe I can help you. You haven't seen the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, right? ]

[Next, I will lead you to travel through the heaven and earth and see the surrounding heaven and earth scenes. ]

Ji Jingqiu was solemn. This was indeed of great benefit to him in excavating the inner world, mountains, waters and spirits. His biggest disadvantage at the moment was that he had too little experience and too low a vision!

There was no way. The root cause was that he had practiced for too short a time, but he progressed very quickly.

For example, Master Bai Lu, in order to paint several magical landscapes, he spent many years visiting landscapes all over the country and copying their shapes.

And he has been practicing for less than a year!
"Thank you Aunt Mu!"

[It's a small matter. You need to integrate your own martial arts as soon as possible and find your own unique martial arts path.]

Subsequently.

Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged under the tree and entered a state of meditation according to Aunt Mu's instructions.

Under some kind of attraction, his mind entered a mysterious state, a bit like the first time he used forbidden knowledge. His mind instantly went to an empty, dark and mysterious place.

Under some kind of guidance, his mind roamed freely in the vast and endless universe, inspecting the mountains, rivers and lakes.

Pan Ding's spiritual state of mind was fully relaxed at this moment. Under Aunt Mu's guidance, Ji Jingqiu felt like he had been trapped in a cage for a long time and finally returned to nature. How free and easy!

The mind soars to the eight poles and the heart wanders thousands of miles!
As soon as he let go of his thoughts, all restraints disappeared, and his soul followed the strong wind and wandered between heaven and earth.

[Eh, this is…]

The mental strength displayed by Ji Jingqiu at this moment far exceeded Mu Qing's expectations.

Ji Jingqiu didn't tell him that his spiritual realm had reached the peak!
This was much more shocking to her than the body of a celestial being or even the prototype of a dojo.

There is a way to achieve the heavenly body after all, and some civilizations with deep roots can even use external forces to help.

But when it comes to spiritual cultivation, I have never heard of any shortcuts.

Especially the state of stability, once achieved, it is forever achieved and there is no possibility of falling!

Even those special civilizations in the universe that practice spiritual cultivation have never heard of anyone being able to achieve the spiritual realm at such a young age!

[No wonder he was chosen by Ahch, he is such a monster...]

at this time.

Mu Qing suddenly noticed something strange.

A gaze from far away, carrying a grand will, is traveling through the endless void and heading towards this place.

This gaze was majestic and indifferent, beyond the limits of words, as if controlling the birth and death of all things. Whether it was the birth and death of a civilization or the trajectory of a fallen leaf, everything followed a predetermined route under His watch.

[Lord of all things? How could it be Him? ]

The ancient tree emits a hazy and clear light, propping up a barrier to scatter the gazes coming from afar, and then propping up another barrier to clear all traces of cause and effect.

Jin Lie, who was communicating with the visitor on the top of the mountains, suddenly looked serious.

He turned around and looked at the god that the clan had been worshipping for thousands of years.

"Mr. Lei, let's talk later. I have to go take care of clan affairs first." Jin Lie looked solemn, said goodbye temporarily, and left in a hurry.

Lei Yuanting took a deep look at the ancient tree not far away and whispered, "The rumors are true. The Canglang Jin Clan really worships a demigod. If we can invite both of them back to the top of the mountains..."

Jin Lie quickly reunited with the clan elders with a serious look on his face.

Old Jin shook his head, indicating that everything was fine: "I have communicated with Mu Shen, and there is nothing to worry about for now."

Jin Lie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "By the way, how should we arrange our trip to the Old Dynasty soon?"

Old Jin frowned and said, "Since Young Master Ji has said so, then of course we won't go. It's a wasted trip and a waste of resources. Go and arrange to exchange the quota of the clan's Old Dynasty for other resources. Be careful and don't be too obvious." "I understand. Other families won't suspect us. Who would have believed in advance that someone could enter the Old Dynasty City in advance? The organizers themselves don't know!" Jin Lie said, "Also, we all have to use the title 'Young Master Ji' from now on? It feels a bit awkward."

Old Jin pondered and said, "Let's wait for a while. If we call him "Lord" now, he probably won't respond. How about calling him "Prince"? It would feel weird too."

……

……

Temple of Vientiane.

Amid the sound of hurried footsteps.

Someone pushed open the heavy wooden door.

The sunlight poured down from the dome onto the cold ground and onto the honorable seats behind the door.

The prominent figures bathed in the sacred sunshine, and their faces, which were arrogant, deep, or smiling in the past, all looked solemn at this moment.

The archbishop pushed the door open and walked in with sharp eyes. He scanned the people present and said in a deep voice:
"A new oracle has appeared. The Son of All-Seeing God has appeared. Follow the decree of the God, find him, and bring him back to the temple, no matter what means are needed."

Under the oracle, the solemn faces remained unchanged, even though their hearts were already in turmoil. The archbishop could not help but admire in a low voice that these people were indeed big shots from all sides and were masters of strict expression control.

"Excuse me, Lord Mars, what kind of position will be reserved for the Son of God in the temple?" someone asked softly.

This is a question that everyone here is concerned about.

The Son of God in the Temple...

You can be above millions of people, or you can be just a puppet.

It depends on God's will.

The archbishop said softly: "It will depend on the attitude of the Son of God."

Someone frowned slightly.

Why is the answer so ambiguous?
Depends on the attitude of the Son of God?

This is an oracle that has never been seen before.

Great Lord of All Things, since when did you need to consider the attitudes of others?

Even the brilliant Son of God from a thousand years ago had no choice but to either bow his head or become a puppet.

But this...

Everyone exchanged glances, and someone asked again: "So, where should we look? Are there any special features of the Son of God?"

"Water and moon, without form."

Many people's pupils suddenly contracted.

How come this is exactly the same as the Son of God from a thousand years ago? !

……

……

Ten days later.

Not far away, Jin Xi, who was sitting cross-legged under a tree practicing, opened his eyes, his nostrils moved slightly, and he smelled the fragrance emanating from someone.

Sometimes having a good sense of smell is not a good thing...

Why does this guy smell so good!
For the past ten days, Ji Jingqiu has been sitting cross-legged under a tree with his eyes closed and not moving, with a strange Taoist aura emanating from his body.

It was as if a pure lotus flower was blooming on his body, filled with a sense of great purity and a long-lasting Zen flavor that pointed directly to the soul and illuminated all darkness.

After the clan leader asked for instructions from Mu Shen, this group of young people were forcibly pulled over and sat in a row around Ji Jingqiu.

The clan elders said that Ji Jingqiu had entered a strange state of enlightenment, and his innate divine body was spontaneously communicating with the heaven and earth. The Taoist rhyme emanating from his body alone could make those nearby have new insights into their own path.

And this is indeed the case!

During these short ten days, Jin Xi figured out the key to the Dharmakaya that had troubled him for a long time, and was one step closer to condensing the Dharma Realm!
I don’t know when Ji Jingqiu stopped his epiphany.

Jin Xi slowly closed his eyes and entered into practice again.

I don’t know how long this practice lasted.

Suddenly, a sharp sword intent came towards them, waking up everyone present. Even the elder who was guarding on the side opened his eyes with a gleam in his eyes.

"Leave." Old Jin's voice was heard, and many young people left Ji Jingqiu's presence.

this moment.

Ji Jingqiu did not move at all, but a sharp sword intent was running through his body, cutting a series of winding and tortuous sword marks of uniform depth on the ground.

In an instant, a dazzling blade light appeared, arousing the power of heaven and earth, advancing slowly without haste, but as if it contained the essence of cutting through everything.

Wherever the sword light passes, everything is quiet, only the sword light is blazing.

The true meaning of the knife is just one word: "empty".

The whole world is empty.

All things are empty.

Nothing can survive under the knife.

The true meaning of the law contained in this knife move Old Jin. Although it was still a little immature, the aura contained in it was magnificent!
Jin Xi and others on the side were dumbfounded. This guy was already incredibly strong, and now he has figured out an even stronger sword technique?
Wait... this one uses a knife?
When Jin Xi and others thought about how Ji Jingqiu had fought with them before and didn't even use a knife, they felt their faces burning.

Ji Jingqiu slowly opened his eyes.

Senior He did not leave him any specific secret inheritance method. In addition to some martial arts insights, there was only one sentence engraved on the first Eternal Sword -

[If I don't see you, the world will disappear]

Based on this sentence, he refined his past sword skills and finally developed the strongest sword skill at the moment, and established it as the foundation of his own sword skills.

He called this sword "All Things Are Empty".

One day, with one cut of the sword, all dharmas will be formless and all dharmas will be empty.

This sword has two forms. One is regular, which is controlled by the true meaning that all dharmas are empty. Wherever the sword passes, it can interfere with and suppress the enemy's control over the law. Only "I" exists, which can be said to be in line with his world of Possa.

The other method is to combine it with the Wangudao's method of maintaining the sword, which can temporarily burst out power that is several times greater than normal. The price is that Fat Tiger will need to work overtime to sharpen the sword, and it cannot be used continuously.

The second one can be used as his life-threatening means and also as his trump card.

And the biggest gain for Ji Jingqiu during this period of time was not this sword, nor the mountains and rivers and oceans he had seen before, but the sorting out of his own road system and the division of focus.

This allowed him to see where his future path would lead him.

And this is the biggest gain.

Ji Jingqiu stood up and asked Aunt Mu about the time that had passed.

[You have been in seclusion for eleven days. It is time to leave. I will pass the information of the Posha demiplane to your heart.]

Eleven days?
Ji Jingqiu rubbed his stomach. No wonder he was so hungry!

……

……

This period of time.

Long Qingyang was sitting in the Yangyan Martial Arts School, his attention always focused on the temple on the lower level.

This was to avoid arousing suspicion from all parties. After all, as the helmsman of the Dragon and Tiger Dojo, he had been staying in the lower temple, which inevitably aroused suspicion from others.

With his strength, it only takes a moment to get from the martial arts gym to the temple.

When necessary, his heaven and earth dojo can cover the entire Dongsanhuang Star at any time.

While waiting, Long Qingyang had nothing to do, so he simply gave instructions from top to bottom.

From Yang Yan, Hong Hu, to Yang Yao, Zhang Xingshan, Luo Xi and others, even Diao Xingyun, Yin Wushuang and others who originally came to look for Ji Jingqiu, all received guidance from Long Qingyang.

Needless to say, the ones mentioned above are originally disciples of the Taoist temple.

As for Diao Xingyun and others, although they are not disciples of their own Taoist temple, there are actually connections between the various Taoist temples. A little guidance is nothing, it is just a favor.

Moreover, Long Qingyang felt that the relationship between this group of young people and Jing Qiu had the potential to develop into the same relationship he had with Wan Chengcang back then.

No fighting, no acquaintance; the more you fight, the closer you become.

The personal connections between the many forces in the Federation were basically developed in this way.

"According to the time, the Seed War is about to begin... It's time to urge this kid to come back."

September is over...
