Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 182 The True Form of Mount Sumeru, a Continuation of the Same Lineage

After sparring with Ke Pingluan and Qin Qingjue.

The two of them originally wanted to turn around and leave. They came cleanly and left without any delay.

Ji Jingqiu invited the two of them to come into the house and talk about martial arts. He had some questions about seeing gods that he wanted to ask them.

After a slight hesitation, the two accepted the invitation and sat down together.

"Brother Ji, haven't you seen God yet?" Ke Pingluan asked doubtfully.

In his opinion, although Ji Jingqiu's swordsmanship was crude compared to their family's secret style, and his application of legal principles was inefficient, its lofty purpose was in no way inferior to that inherited by his Ke family!

The former is because this sword move was most likely created by Ji Jingqiu himself, but Ji Jingqiu is only a few years old, so it is naturally far from comparable to the secret techniques passed down by their two families.

But the latter is particularly terrifying.

Because the purpose of martial arts determines the upper limit.

Roughness and imperfection are the means of continuous improvement and progress.

But the purpose of martial arts cannot be changed just like that.

As long as Ji Jingqiu continues on this path and keeps improving, sooner or later, his sword moves will be comparable to their family's secret ones.

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, thinking about what to say.

Strictly speaking, after deducing and developing the second sword technique, he clearly saw where the threshold to seeing God was.

This is crucial, as it means that he clearly sees where the threshold is and all he has to do is walk over it.

This last step is also called "quenching".

Just like forging a knife, once the quenching is completed, it can be truly out of the furnace.

His previous battle with these two was part of the "tempering" process.

Even when he was using Ke Pingluan to hone his swordsmanship, he had a vague feeling that he had passed this last hurdle, but he did not take this opportunity to move on to it, because the pressure brought by Ke Pingluan was not enough, and he somehow felt that he could be even more perfect.

However, some of these words are obviously not suitable to be said at the moment.

"It's so close. I can see the threshold. I even had the feeling of a breakthrough earlier, but somehow I feel like I'm still a little short of perfection." Ji Jingqiu said carefully.

After listening to this, Ke Pingluan thought for a moment, nodded and said slowly:

"For the first three levels of martial arts training, 'body and mind' and 'mind enlightenment' are just the training of techniques, just follow the steps. Only seeing the spirit is a little more troublesome."

It’s a little troublesome… These profound remarks left those present who had not yet seen God speechless.

Mu Juncheng added: "Uncle Ke saw the god at the age of seventeen. Among all the warriors in history, this speed ranks among the top twenty."

Ke Ping frowned and said, "Don't call me uncle, it sounds weird. You can call me Brother Ke in private."

Mu Juncheng said awkwardly: "Brother Ke, how can this be so embarrassing? Isn't this confusing the generations..."

To be honest, he had already felt uncomfortable calling a warrior who was only a few years older than him "uncle".

Everyone glanced at this guy.

I didn't see you feel embarrassed.

Ke Pingluan continued:

"From the moment you see the gods, it is no longer just a matter of martial arts attainments, but involves your overall martial arts path, or the relatively illusory 'path'."

"In addition, seeing God is a true understanding of the law, and it also involves a hint of divinity sublimation and a transformation of the state of mind... It can be said that it involves quite a lot of aspects."

"If Brother Ji feels that he is still a little short of perfection, then my advice is not to rush, because the more perfect this step is, the greater the improvement after the breakthrough will be."

“When I first saw the threshold, I also realized that something was missing. It took me more than two months to settle down and finally I was able to reach the state of seeing God without missing anything.”

Hearing this, Qin Qingjue suddenly said, "It is not necessary to settle down to see the gods, you can also break through under pressure. The most common way is to find a strong person's martial arts intention to oppress yourself and complete the last step of transformation."

Ji Jingqiu nodded: "In a few days, I will go to the former residence of Grandmaster Meng and use the sword intent there to complete the final perfection."

"Grandmaster Meng Pingchuan?" Ke Pingluan asked in surprise, "That person's former residence is indeed suitable for you, Brother Ji."

Everyone chatted with God for a while, and then the topic gradually extended to tomorrow's gathering.

Many warriors have received private invitations from the Mu family to attend tomorrow's party. Judging from the number of places revealed so far, it seems that the division is not based on strength.

"It's not just Brother Ji who accepted the invitation. In fact, warriors like Yourong who are talented in spiritual practice have also been invited." Mu Juncheng briefly explained, then turned around and asked curiously, "By the way, I heard that Brother Ke, are you not going to attend tomorrow's gathering?"

Ke Ping shook his head. "When I first entered the martial arts world and chose the visualization picture, I watched the [Buddha Prison in Fire House] under the arrangement of my grandfather, but I gained nothing. So I won't join in the fun tomorrow."

When he said this, Ke Pingluan cast a subtle glance at Ji Jingqiu, who seemed to raise his eyes and looked at him.

If he guessed correctly, Ji Jingqiu found the place where Mu Shuai attained enlightenment deep in the Cangqing Temple in the Posa demiplane, so the legendary Bodhi appeared behind him at that time.

It’s just not clear what Ji Jingqiu got.

Tomorrow's party...who knows if he can really gain something from it.

The people around were speechless for a moment.

This person’s grandfather... is the supreme grandmaster of the Ke family, right?

Mu Juncheng understood and was not surprised by the result.

It is normal to gain nothing. He will be shocked only if you really have some insights.

In the history of the six major families, talented warriors would basically try it once or twice. The descendants of the Mu family were resistant in the beginning, thinking that there was no reason why their inheritance should be given to outsiders, but later on they felt nothing and even had some expectations.

I hope that the geniuses from other families, which the family elders talk about all day long to encourage them, will fail before this method of visualization.

Thinking of this, Mu Juncheng glanced at Ji Jingqiu.

He had discovered before that this guy had an incredibly deep understanding of Zen, and had practiced the Mu family's secret spiritual method, which should have been given to him by his third grandfather. He also displayed a great sense of pure Zen that could suppress him.

Moreover, this guy is extremely talented, and is one of the best in the history of the Federation. Maybe he can really gain something from it tomorrow?

"Tomorrow, I will go to the Four Guardian Stars and start the challenge of climbing the tower for the final test." Ke Pingluan looked at Qin Qingjue, "It's the same for you, right? There is no more training for us in the True Seed Realm. We can only compete with the most powerful masters of all generations."

Qin Qingjue nodded slightly.

Yin Wushuang's eyes sparkled: "Are you referring to the seventeenth floor of Baiyujing?"

Baiyujing is divided into the front and back of the body, the front has nine levels and the back has seventeen levels.

As long as you reach the top of the floor and defeat the corresponding guard, you will be qualified to take his place, leaving behind a data incarnation to guard the first floor.

Everyone looked at Ji Jingqiu at the same time.

Currently, this is the highest-level gatekeeper in front of the body.

And the seventeen levels behind the body... are occupied by the seventeen strongest martial arts geniuses in the true seed realm in the Federation's ten thousand years.

"If I remember correctly, the gatekeeper of the last floor is still Zhang Tiancheng from two thousand years ago?"

"Yes."

When the last person was mentioned, everyone's faces clearly showed different attitudes. Some were respectful, some were disgusted, but more were complex, with a mixture of multiple emotions.

“This person… is really hard to evaluate.” Yue Yourong whispered.

Everyone nodded. They admired his talent, but found it difficult to comment on what he would do after achieving success in martial arts.

He was born in the war-torn western part of the Federation and lived a difficult life since childhood. After he came to prominence, he was named "Land Dragon" by a master at the time and became extremely famous.

But after he achieved some success in martial arts, his true nature gradually revealed itself. What everyone feared most was his brutality and cold-bloodedness. Countless people died at his hands, including many innocent people.

The Security Bureau had approached him several times, but he always handled the matter very cleanly. Even though the Security Bureau knew it was him who did it, they had no substantial evidence and the higher-ups were protecting him, so they could only let him escape again and again.

After this person was promoted to Grandmaster and took charge of the Wanwu Association, he acted even more unscrupulously.

Under his leadership, the reputation of the Wanwu Association is no longer at a bad level.

Even Ji Jingqiu had heard of this name.

But Ji Jingqiu first heard this name not because of the above reasons.

He first heard about it from Senior He.

In Senior He's message, he specifically pointed out three people and asked him to pay more attention to two of them in the future.

One of them is Zhang Tiancheng.

Regarding this person, Senior He’s evaluation is “an evil dragon in the well”.

Once it gets out of its prey, it will become an evil dragon that will wreak havoc on the world.

Everyone changed the topic tacitly.

Ji Jingqiu asked the gatekeepers on other floors of Baiyujing.

"The fifteenth floor is an old acquaintance of yours, Brother Ji." Diao Xingyun said in a smile, "It was Ji Linyuan from a hundred years ago. As for the sixteenth floor, it was a genius warrior from three thousand years ago, named Chi Yinghuo."

Ji Jingqiu narrowed his eyes.

The latter was the second person that Senior He specifically asked to leave a message for.

The evaluation of this person is "disaster star".

Nearing midnight.

The party just ended.

Ji Jingqiu returned to the room and sat cross-legged to regulate his breathing.

After taking a portion of divine bone powder to nourish the innate magical powers in his body, he began to sort out what he had gained from the Posa demiplane this time.

There are three biggest gains from this trip.

The first is to use the vigorous vitality contained in the Flower of Life to further transform the water of the sea of ​​suffering in the inner world and begin to change into the water of eight treasures and merits, thus deriving the magical power of [Bodhi Wisdom Eye].

The second is a nine-foot-nine water and moon spiritual inspiration.

The third was that he witnessed the destruction of a world and the great catastrophe of countless calamities, and from this he derived his second sword technique.

Among these three gains, the third one is undoubtedly the most critical and important.

If the first point is beneficial in the present, and the second point is beneficial in the immediate future, as long as you wait for your spiritual journey to break through, you can refine it in an instant, then the third point will be beneficial in the future!
The third point is his biggest opportunity to enter the Posha demiplane this time.

Witnessing the destruction of a world gave him a preliminary understanding of the so-called infinite kalpas of the Dharma Ending Age.

During those seven days, he mainly did two things - observation and recording.

Finally, when he reached a bottleneck, he began to comprehend, absorbing everything he could understand and master, and turning it into his own.

This time of observing the Tao was an overall improvement, and the greatest benefit was that it gave him a deeper understanding of the existence of the law.

In addition, he originally thought that he would have to go to Grandmaster Meng's former residence and hone his skills before he could comprehend the second style of swordsmanship.

However, he did not expect that just a hint of the true meaning of Nirvana that he had extracted would allow him to use it as a foundation, blend it into his own swordsmanship, deduce and develop a second style of swordsmanship, and push himself to a higher level in his comprehension of martial arts.

Completely digesting the gains from the destruction of a world... is simply not something a warrior at his stage can comprehend, or even touch.

Because the levels involved are too high.

The destruction of a world, countless calamities...

Under such a catastrophe, even the gods are like ants.

It was not something that a warrior of his level could watch, and he was only relying on the Bodhi tree and the light of wisdom to protect himself.

Masters seek the way, grandmasters open the way.

Ji Jingqiu suspected that if a celestial master had changed his cultivation path to one that was in line with nirvana, extinction, and destruction, after witnessing such a miraculous sight as the destruction of a world, he might have been able to directly find the path of a master, or even be promoted on the spot!

Ji Jingqiu's mind returned to the inner world, he sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, looked up through the swaying green branches, and saw the bloody rain and the sea of ​​suffering in the outside world.

This experience of observing the Dao gave him a new understanding of the existence of the sea of ​​suffering in the world.

After countless kalpas, the first thing that will push for overturning is the sea of ​​suffering of all worlds!

After carefully feeling the projection of the sea of ​​suffering on Fantian, Ji Jingqiu slowly closed his eyes, and a scene of the destruction of a world flashed through his mind.

"The destruction of a world... If one day I could see the birth of a world, with birth and destruction complete, I wonder what kind of miracles would happen..."...

It's early morning.

Ji Jingqiu contacted Long Qingyang and expressed his desire to use the power of the Taoist temple to repair and rebuild Qingzhu.

"Are you about to see a god?" Long Qingyang asked, "I have an idea. If you are lucky, you might be able to directly cultivate the spirituality in the sword and transform your Qingzhu into a semi-divine weapon."

"Send the knife here. I'll have someone take care of it before you go to the Grand Master's residence."

Ji Jingqiu agreed immediately, and carefully inquired about the secret, and was taught a secret method.

The key to this secret method is to combine the special state when breaking through and seeing the god with the weapon, so that it can see the "God of Martial Arts" just like oneself.

Once successful, the relationship between the master of the army and the weapons will become closely connected, and there is no problem in saying that they recognize the master.

Moreover, the weapon will improve as the master improves, constantly enhancing the spirituality nurtured in the sword.

The only problem is that the success rate is not high.

Afterwards, Ji Jingqiu described in detail the thrilling scene when he was attacked by the warriors of the Beicang Merchant Alliance and the warriors of the ancient country of Luofeng in the demiplane. He was in danger at the time and strongly hoped that the dojo could help him get back on track.

"Don't worry, the federal government has already intervened in the investigation!" Long Qingyang said seriously, "We also saw part of the scene in the demiplane this time. We discovered that something was wrong with the Northern Cang Alliance at that time. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned. Could he see the scene in the demiplane?

Didn’t you say it wasn’t possible before?

Oh no, will the dangerous situation I just described be exposed?

After a while.

When Mu Juncheng knocked on the door, Ji Jingqiu walked out of the room and rushed to the Mu family's party with Yue Yourong and others.

The venue for this gathering is at the main residence of the Mu family.

It was not as luxurious as Ji Jingqiu had imagined, but rather quite simple, a bit like an ancient ancestral temple.

Many warriors had already arrived before them and were gathering outside in groups of three or four to communicate.

When they saw Ji Jingqiu arriving, almost everyone looked over.

Warriors who had known each other before or had been rescued by Ji Jingqiu in the demiplane greeted them enthusiastically.

"Brother Ji, I'm finally here. I've been waiting for you!"

"Haha, Brother Ji, we've already made our bet. Let's bet on whether you can comprehend something from the Mu family's visualization picture!"

……

Ji Jingqiu and Grandpa Mu have already discussed whether to reveal that he has comprehended the [Visualization Diagram of the Fire House Buddha's Hell] and has mastered it.

Grandpa Mu's suggestion was that if he could meet the ancestor of the Mu family, he could practice the [Visualization Diagram of the Fiery House Buddha Hell] in front of the other party, but there was no need to say it explicitly.

The ancestor of the Mu family would naturally be able to see what he should see.

"The visualization diagram was originally in the innermost ancestral temple. I'll take you there." Mu Juncheng led Ji Jingqiu and others towards the deepest part of the main house.

Not long after.

Several people walked into an old house with ancient charm. When they opened the door, a faint sandalwood scent wafted in their faces. The first thing that caught their eyes was a screen with a continuous mountain range on it.

Several people walked into the house and walked around the screen.

All you see is red.

It was a visualization picture hanging on the wall.

Almost in an instant, Yue Yourong and his companions were deeply shocked and fell into a trance.

In the visualization picture, the red sky is burning, blood is raining down from the sky, lava is flowing on the earth, and every place you look at is a scene of purgatory.

Mu Juncheng, who was well prepared, smiled and was not surprised by the reactions of the few people.

Almost every warrior who sees this visualization picture for the first time will fall into this state.

Those with weaker mental powers will need more than ten minutes to recover to normal.

It is said that the faster one recovers, the more hope there is to gain some insight from this visualization picture.

Then, Mu Juncheng saw Ji Jingqiu who didn't react much.

This guy took a look at the visualization diagram on the wall, then withdrew his gaze as if he had gained nothing, and then walked around the screen beside him, as if he had discovered some treasure.

Mu Juncheng was stunned and began to doubt his life.

"Brother Mu, is this screen also left by Marshal Mu?" Ji Jingqiu asked puzzledly without taking his eyes off the screen.

Mu Juncheng nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, it was also left by our ancestors. It contains a secret method called 'The True Form of Mount Sumeru', but I heard from the elders that this secret method is not very useful."

Ji Jingqiu was immediately delighted. He thought this trip was just a formality, but he didn't expect to gain something else.

"Brother Ji... don't you want to comprehend this visualization picture?" Mu Juncheng asked quietly.

Ji Jingqiu said casually: "[Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Diagram] is so difficult, how can ordinary people practice it."

Mu Juncheng fell silent.

In the past, he would have thought there was nothing wrong with this sentence.

But now he began to have some doubts.

No... maybe it's because Brother Ji's spiritual realm is too high, so he was able to withstand the shock of the visualization picture!
Mu Juncheng thought secretly.

Ji Jingqiu's attention was all focused on the screen.

On the screen, a mountain stands in the middle, towering and majestic, as if it is the center of the universe, with the sun, moon and stars orbiting around it...

If he guessed correctly, the mountain depicted on the screen should be the "Great Sumeru" of the Buddha's lineage!
Ji Jingqiu's eyes swept across every structure of the mountain and quickly found the key to its divine intention.

After a moment, he slowly closed his eyes.

A true picture has already appeared in my mind.

Sure enough, this is a picture of the true shape of Mount Sumeru!

Is it useless?

It really seems to have no direct use, but to Ji Jingqiu, it seems just right. He wonders if he can use this true form map as a standard to sculpt the spiritual form of mountains and rivers in his body.

A few minutes later.

Yue Yourong and others woke up from their stupor.

"It's worthy of being the visualization diagram that was passed down by that person." Yue Yourong took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "I only heard that this visualization diagram was extremely difficult to practice before. Today I finally saw it, and I have no idea what it means."

Mu Juncheng comforted him, "It's normal, don't worry about it."

"Brother Ji, did you gain anything?" Yue Yourong asked curiously.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, pointed to the screen and said, "I have gained something from this."

Several people looked at the screen in astonishment.

at this time.

Mu Juncheng seemed to have received some order. He stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Ji, the ancestor wants to see you."

Ji Jingqiu nodded and followed him away.

Yue Yourong and a few others began to circle around the screen and began to study the mountain map on it.

Mu Juncheng brought Ji Jingqiu to the door of a small courtyard, but instead of going in, he motioned for Ji Jingqiu to go in by himself.

Ji Jingqiu walked straight into the courtyard without any hesitation, and then saw an old man who looked familiar.

The old man sitting by the pond waved to him and said jokingly:
"Ji boy, would you like to reconsider and find a girl you like in my Mu family to marry? From now on, I might give up my position to you."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned. This person was actually the one he saw on the top of the mountain before!

Although I had guessed before that the old man was no simple person, I never expected that he was the only remaining supreme grandmaster of the Mu family!

"Hello, Senior Mu." Ji Jingqiu respectfully performed the salute as a junior.

"No need for formalities." The old man waved his hand, took a deep look at the boy in front of him, and suddenly said, "The essence of the inheritance left by my Mu family's ancestors is just one word, 'emptiness'. The four elements are empty, the heaven and the earth are nothing, the origin and extinction of fate are all empty, and everything is just a dream. Only by seeing through all of this can we let go and transcend the sea of ​​suffering."

"Ji boy, what do you think?"

"If it were you, what would you do if you wanted to realize the word 'emptiness'?"

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "It's not too late to talk about this question after I have everything in my hands. If you want to let go of everything, you have to pick it up first."

The old man smiled and said, "He is indeed a little fellow with a deep understanding of Zen. When did you meet Xuan Ying?"

Mu Xuanying is Mr. Mu’s real name.

"In the first half of this year." Ji Jingqiu said honestly.

"In the first half of the year." The old man was silent for a moment. "You seem to have started practicing martial arts in the first half of the year, right?"

"Yes."

“Is that so?” The old man murmured softly, and his eyes, which had experienced countless changes of seasons and the vicissitudes of life, seemed to become even deeper.

He suddenly said, "Ji boy, I want to discuss something with you."

"Senior Mu, please feel free to speak."

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "If one day I am gone, and there is a traitor in my Mu family, I hope you can kill him on my behalf."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

He remembered that Grandpa Mu once told him that if he saw any young man with the surname Mu in the future, he should give him a good lesson and tell him what it meant to be someone better than you.

And now, this old man is even more ruthless.

Is this considered a continuation of the same lineage?
"As for the reward..."

The old man thought for a moment and said,

"Why don't you tell me what you want?"
