Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 183: Building momentum, Qingzhu's transformation, and the collision of sword intentions

A supreme grandmaster is willing to give whatever he wants. How tempting is that?
It's no less than someone telling you to do whatever you want next.

But Ji Jingqiu sensed some hidden special meaning from the old man's words.

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively: "How about you give me the entire Mu family?"

The old man smiled and said, "I'll give it to you. Do you dare to take it? Can you take it?"

"With your support, anyone can take it on, right?" Ji Jingqiu said.

The old man shook his head and sighed, "What a pity. If you had come here ten years earlier, I might have been able to support you and let you hold this position securely, but now it's not possible."

Ji Jingqiu rubbed his eyebrows.

After the test, he found out that he was right in his guess. This person really wanted to "give" the entire Mu family to him, as if he was entrusting his son to someone else.

What does "If one day I am no longer around..." mean?

With this sentence in mind, when my strength reaches a certain level in the future, it will be natural for me to take over the Mu family. No one in the federation can blame me, and the other five major families will not be able to have any objections.

"Junior doesn't quite understand what you mean." Ji Jingqiu said frankly, hoping that the old man would speak frankly.

The old man said calmly: "It's good not to understand. In one's life, sometimes being able to be confused is a blessing."

Ji Jingqiu fell silent.

Theoretically, there is no limit to the lifespan of a Supreme Grand Master.

But today, this old ancestor of Mu Lao revealed to him a shocking fact - he would soon be no longer in the Federation.

As to whether he died, disappeared, or left, it is not known for the time being.

But what is certain is that this supreme grandmaster, or... all supreme grandmasters will leave in the near future?
If this matter were to be spread, it would be enough to shock the entire federation. It would be shocking news that would completely shake the federation.

Without the top supreme grandmaster in charge, the structure of the federation will inevitably undergo tremendous changes, and the six major families will find it difficult to remain as high and mighty as before.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly thought of some information that the female senior in the Cangqing Temple had inadvertently revealed to him - in five years, the rules of the universe will be loosened.

Is there any connection between the two?
But the old man was obviously unwilling to reveal more information to him.

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'm in urgent need of inspiration. I wonder if there is any inspiration over nine feet in the Mu family."

The true seed is to build the foundation of the Tao, while the spiritual journey is a transformation and also a baptism.

No matter what happens in five years, he just needs to make himself strong.

To do this, he needs more inspiration to baptize and break through.

"Nine feet?" The old man pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "The Mu family currently does not have a nine-foot spiritual power inventory, let alone nine feet, there is not even eight feet."

Ji Jingqiu was surprised. The difficulty of finding the Nine-foot Spiritual Machine was beyond his expectation. Even the Mu family did not have it in stock.

"Then please help me sort out my own martial arts path." Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "Also, I want to see the secret method of the Mu family."

"Okay." The old man nodded. "If you want secret techniques like the Zen Seal, there aren't many of them in the Mu family right now, and they're not suitable for you to practice right now. The main secret techniques are all kept in the Supreme True Buddha Sect."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned. Is this really the case?

"When you grow up, you can try to contact the Supreme Buddha Sect." The old man paused, "That True Buddha may treat you differently."

Ok……

The senior indeed treated me differently and asked me to go see him after I became an immortal.

Afterwards, the old man personally sorted out Ji Jingqiu's current martial arts path and pointed out the future development direction...

After saying goodbye to the old man, Ji Jingqiu left the courtyard. Not long after he walked away, he met Mu Juncheng who was waiting there.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu's worried look, Mu Juncheng couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What's wrong? What did the ancestors tell you?"

Ji Jingqiu thought about it and didn't know whether he should tell this person that your ancestors entrusted you to me.

Mu Juncheng suddenly looked apologetic: "Excuse me, Brother Ji, the ancestor called me."

After saying that, he brushed past Ji Jingqiu and walked quickly towards the small courtyard deep inside.

Ji Jingqiu returned to Yue Yourong and others.

He looked at the [Visualization Picture of the Burning House of Buddha] somewhat absent-mindedly.

……

In the small courtyard.

"Ancestor!" Mu Juncheng said respectfully.

"From today on, you will represent the Mu family and stay by Ji Jingqiu's side." The old man said slowly, "Whatever he wants, you should try your best to satisfy him. If one day the Mu family and he stand on the opposite side, your lineage must stand on his side without reservation, even if your enemy is your former relative."

Mu Juncheng's mind was shaken, and his silence was like thunder.

What did Ji Jingqiu and the ancestor talk about before? !

……

……

One morning a few days later.

Ji Jingqiu embarked on the journey to leave the planet.

He said goodbye to Yue Yourong and others last night.

After a few days, everyone will leave this place and return to the Four Guardian Stars, so they agreed to meet at the Four Guardian Stars later.

Before returning to the Four Guardian Stars, Ji Jingqiu must first go to the former residence of Grandmaster Meng Pingchuan to complete the final step of his transformation into a god in martial arts.

But before that, he had to stop by Tiangong Chongfang, which was the force where Brother Dao came from.

This is related to Qingzhu's forging.

Originally, it should have been handled by the Taoist temple, but after Patriarch Qingyang contacted Tiangong Chongfang, they told Ji Jingqiu to go there personally with a knife, and their chief priest would take action personally.

Ji Jingqiu guessed that it was probably because of Brother Dao's face.

Tiangong Chongfang, the most famous weapons forging place in the Federation, has forged more than a dozen semi-divine weapons.

Even a master would have to visit in person when necessary, just to ask for a magical weapon.

Ji Jingqiu had heard an interesting story before, about Brother Dao.

Brother Dao was born in Tiangong Chongfang and won the title of "Tian Dao" in the previous generation. He was nicknamed by the media at that time as "a man who is good at fighting among a group of blacksmiths."

The spaceship gradually rose into the air and as it passed through a sea of ​​clouds in the sky, Ji Jingqiu caught a glimpse of a strange creature.

In the sea of ​​clouds, an unidentified creature with a strange shape and a body winding like a long dragon emerged. It had a huge body and four wings on its back. When it flapped its wings gently, it created a gust of wind.

It did not approach the spaceship they were on, but turned away gracefully, disappearing into the vast sea of ​​clouds, leaving behind only a suggestive silhouette.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes sparkled. This was the mythical creature raised by the Mu family!
Unfortunately, the biggest regret of this trip was that I didn’t have time to explore the famous mountains and swamps of this planet, nor did I witness any of the mythical creatures that Mu Juncheng mentioned.

Such creatures can only be nurtured in the complete inner world opened up by a warrior who has reached the level of a grandmaster, and the transformation during this period requires a huge amount of time.

It is said that the best of these creatures can even reach the level of celestial beings. At this level, their range of activities is no longer limited to planets, but the vast starry sky.

Throughout history, there are many examples of Grandmasters and Grandmasters using mythical creatures as mounts.

For example, Grandmaster Meng Pingchuan.

He learned from Mu Juncheng that after Grandmaster Meng Pingchuan achieved enlightenment, he traveled across the galaxy and when he returned, he was accompanied by a giant void beast.

Compared with the mythical creatures spawned by artificial breeding, the Void Beast is known as the offspring of the Void and is born at the end of its bloodline. The two are completely on a different level.

As the spaceship sailed away from the Mu family's ancestral planet, Ji Jingqiu gently stroked Qingzhu, injecting energy and spiritual fluctuations into him, feeling the faint breathing-like vibration rhythm in Qingzhu's sword body.

Although it is extremely slight, it does exist.

Two days later.

Ji Jingqiu walked into the gate of Tiangong Chongfang headquarters and, under the guidance of others, came to the forging base several thousand meters deep underground.

It is said that the reason why Tiangong Chongfang chose to station its headquarters here is because the underground fire here is most suitable to be used as forging fire.

Walking into the depths of the forging area, a huge furnace stood, emitting astonishing heat. Even Ji Jingqiu had to use his Qi to isolate himself before he felt more comfortable.

Next to the stove, a bald middle-aged man with his upper body naked, the muscular lines of his arms were clearly visible. Every inch of his arm was a testament to countless times of tempering, as if it contained infinite power.

As soon as the sweat on his body appeared, it evaporated instantly like drops falling on a hot anvil.

The middle-aged man looked up, his eyes were calm and powerful, with the determination and composure unique to a craftsman, and the light of the furnace was dancing in them.

He put down his weapon, walked over, and said loudly:
"You are Ji Jingqiu, the little Qiuzi that Ah Dao mentioned?"

"Hello, Uncle Tie!" Ji Jingqiu called out and followed Brother Dao.

"Hmm." The middle-aged man looked at the young man carefully, stretched out his hand and pinched Ji Jingqiu's shoulder, and said in surprise, "Good boy, you have forged such a physique in the True Seed Realm. Are you interested in learning forging from me?"

Ji Jingqiu politely declined.

The Master Di Tieshan in front of him was the current worshiper of Tiangong Chongfang. Not only was he a master who had forged semi-divine weapons, he was also a celestial warrior himself.

In other words, only celestial warriors are qualified to forge semi-divine weapons.

"Adao is not good at praising others. You are one of the few people he praises." Di Tieshan smiled, "I heard that the Qingzhu fell into your hands. Give it to me."

Praise it to the sky?

Sure enough, Brother Dao is the true love!
Ji Jingqiu handed Qingzhu to the other party and explained: "The blade was damaged in the previous battle with other warriors."

Di Tieshan nodded, not surprised: "This knife was originally a semi-finished product. I didn't know that Ah Dao took it away and gave it to... Eh——"

He suddenly paused, his movements frozen in mid-air, his expression slightly changed, a rare flash of surprise flashed across his deep eyes. After carefully examining Qing Zhu, he looked at Ji Jingqiu with a strong admiration in his eyes and said:

"You are young and promising. You have actually taken care of it so well that you have planted a spiritual seed in it. This is beyond my expectation."

He paused, weighed the knife in his hand, and said with a smile: "This little guy likes you very much, it seems that Ah Dao's choice was not wrong."

As the chief priest of Tiangong Chongfang, Di Tieshan's daily schedule is full. The only reason he can take time out to help Ji Jingqiu personally recast Qingzhu is not only for Leng Dao's sake, but also for Qingzhu himself.

This knife was forged for himself when he was young.

"You stand outside and wait for a while. I will recast the blade for it and ensure that the spiritual seeds that you have nurtured in it will not dissipate." Di Tieshan carried Qingzhu and walked towards the forging table.

"Uncle Di, this is the divine iron and some rare minerals I prepared. They should be able to be melted into the blade." Ji Jingqiu took out the materials that the dojo had prepared for him.

Di Tieshan took it casually, without even looking at it, and threw it aside. Then he picked out a piece of divine iron from his own collection, which was more than twice as large as the one he got from the Tianjian Dojo.

This is the material I posted myself!

Ji Jingqiu secretly praised him for being worthy of being the chief priest of Tiangong Chongfang, he was so arrogant!

He waited outside patiently for more than an hour.

Until Di Tieshan in the house beckoned him in. "Next."

Di Tieshan threw the recast Qingzhu to him along with the sword and scabbard.

Even the scabbard was replaced with a new one, which was carved from some kind of strange wood. It was as heavy as gold or iron, and its color was so deep that it seemed to absorb all the light around it.

Ji Jingqiu pulled out the recast Qingzhu from the sheath. The light was as cold as water, and his face was reflected on the bright blade.

He raised the knife and slashed forward lightly. The narrow blade vibrated slightly, making a sharp sound. A flash of snow-like light appeared, as if it cut through the air in front of him. The sharpness was obviously better than before.

After a light cut, Ji Jingqiu stroked the blade again, listening to the lingering sound of the blade, and feeling the breathing-like rhythm contained in Qingzhu, which was quieter than before it was recast.

Di Tieshan seemed very satisfied with this masterpiece and said with a smile:

"Try not to let this knife leave your side for the next period of time. It's best to inject your energy into it every once in a while. In fact, the best is the power of the mind. Let it get used to your mental fluctuations, which can enhance the connection and resonance between the person and the knife."

"I heard that you are going to the former residence of Grandmaster Meng next to try to see the god through martial arts. If you are lucky, you may be able to awaken the dormant spirit in the sword in advance and let it break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly in advance."

Ji Jingqiu humbly asked, "After my spirit awakens, how should I nurture it?"

"Just follow the previous method. You did a good job before." Di Tieshan said, "After the spirituality awakens, it will be a spiritual sword. Whether it can be transformed into a semi-divine weapon depends on the person who maintains the sword, that is, you."

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "When you forged the semi-divine weapons in the past, did you create them directly?"

Di Tieshan said with a smile: "I have only forged one semi-divine weapon in my life, so I am not in a position to reveal the secret method. Of course, if you are willing to join me and learn blacksmithing for more than ten years, I can teach you."

More than ten years of ironwork...

Ji Jingqiu silently put away his curiosity.

"Okay, I won't keep you here anymore. I have other things to do." Di Tieshan paused and said, "I spoke to Meng Qianyun on the phone before. He is the descendant of Grandmaster Meng and also an old friend of mine. When you go to Pingchuan Star, he will give you some special care for my sake."

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu deeply understood what a society based on human relationships is and the so-called law of six.

"Thank you Uncle Di!"

"Don't thank me, thank yourself." Di Tieshan said with a smile, "A Dao's face is to let me help you recast this knife. I am willing to help you contact the Meng family because I appreciate your attitude towards this knife."

"Go ahead. I hope that one day I can see it following you and transforming into a demigod soldier."

After saying goodbye to Uncle Di, Ji Jingqiu went directly to the former residence of Grand Master Meng Pingchuan under the arrangement of the Longhu Dojo.

Standing in front of the porthole, Ji Jingqiu looked at the vast universe outside.

This is completely different from the perspective of viewing the destruction of a world. Only by viewing it from this perspective can one personally feel the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of the human body.

But even such a vast universe cannot escape the fate of destruction after the arrival of infinite calamity.

The interstellar journey is long. In addition to practicing and maintaining his sword, Ji Jingqiu would occasionally check the information on the martial arts channel on the terminal.

The Internet seems to be very lively these two days, especially regarding the Four Guardian Stars.

I don’t know if there is someone behind the scenes building up momentum, but the news that someone is about to challenge the 17th level of Baiyujing’s history has been circulating on the Internet and has become a hot topic.

The previous seed war was not very popular and was not publicized to the public, but this time it was completely different.

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself that Ke Pingluan and Qin Qingjue should have arrived at the Four Guardian Stars. He wondered whether the two had already begun trying to challenge the seventeenth level of Baiyujing's history.

After you have completed the meeting with the gods, you can also go up to the building to challenge and see the seventeen strongest warriors in the true realm in the past ten thousand years of the Federation.

Ji Jingqiu gently stroked the Qingzhu in his hand, and a sound of the sword seemed to resonate, accompanied by a slight tremor of the sword.

It seems that I am not the only one who is looking forward to it.

Looking at the target planet in the distance getting closer and closer, Ji Jingqiu adjusted his mood.

It is said that although Senior Meng Pingchuan died at the frontier of the Heavenly Road, the giant void beast he once subdued has remained in the Federation, which is near Senior Meng Pingchuan’s former residence. I wonder if I will have the chance to see it this time.

This planet is named after Senior Meng, called Pingchuan Star, and belongs to the Meng family's territory. Although the Meng family is the descendant of Senior Meng, it is not a big family and has a small population.

The person in charge of the Meng family this generation is Meng Qianyun, a celestial warrior.

"Are you Ji Jingqiu?"

A calm voice suddenly came.

The porthole in front reflected the long-haired middle-aged man standing behind Ji Jingqiu. He stood there calmly, his whole temperament was restrained and profound, like a sheathed sword, without any visible edge.

"Is it Senior Meng Qianyun?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

Meng Qianyun nodded slightly: "I will take you to the ancestral home. This spaceship is parked outside the planet and landing is not allowed. The Meng family's ancestral planet does not like the arrival of foreign spaceships."

"Please wait a moment, senior. I will inform them."

After notifying the person in charge of the spaceship sent by the dojo, Ji Jingqiu was taken directly out of the spaceship, across the universe, and headed towards Pingchuan Star not far away.

Master Tianren, there is no problem for you to travel across the universe in your physical body.

In order to take care of Ji Jingqiu, Meng Qianyun directly set up the Taoist temple and let Ji Jingqiu stay in it until they arrived at Pingchuan Star.

"That's where you'll be training next."

Falling from a height of tens of thousands of meters, Meng Qianyun suddenly pointed to a snow-capped mountain in the distance and said to him.

Ji Jingqiu used his Qi to block the howling gale from the sky, then he opened his eyes and saw a snowy mountain in the distance, which was at least several thousand meters high, possibly even ten thousand meters.

From a distance, this snow-capped mountain looks like a long knife stuck in the ground.

When he was near the snow-capped mountains, he felt a huge pressure. This pressure was not hostile, but magnificent and long-lasting, as if it had been accumulated for countless years.

Is this the pressure left behind by Senior Meng?

It has remained condensed and not dissipated for thousands of years. This reminded Ji Jingqiu of the ancestor of the Mu family whom he had met not long ago. The other party's aura has not leaked at all, and he looks like an old man who is powerless.

Soon, Ji Jingqiu felt a second will that was so huge that it was terrifying. It was as heavy as the earth and as vast as the sky. This vast will swept over Ji Jingqiu indifferently.

This is……

That giant void beast?

Ji Jingqiu speculated secretly, and finally asked directly: "Senior Meng, I heard that Grandmaster Meng's companions once stayed beside his former residence. Is this true?"

Meng Qianyun nodded slightly: "This snow mountain is the remains of the Snow Ancestor."

Ji Jingqiu's breathing stagnated, and for the first time he had a preliminary understanding of the legendary void beast.

Under the guidance of Meng Qianyun, Ji Jingqiu landed on the top of the towering mountain.

Looking up, I saw a rather simple wooden house standing alone on the edge of the cliff.

Behind the wooden house, extending to an area of ​​several hundred meters, there are more than a dozen figures scattered around. Their target seems to be the wooden house in front. Although there are no obstacles along the way, their progress is almost as slow as a snail.

Meng Qianyun said:

"Your goal is to keep moving forward towards that wooden house, which is the former residence of your ancestors. There will be many sword intentions blocking your way along the way. It depends on how far you can go."

"If you can make it to the end, you can go into the wooden house and leave your name. There is also the sword of your ancestors inside. You can go and feel it."

"If you get tired on the way, you can go to the wooden house next to you to rest. I built it before, and for Tieshan's sake, I'll lend it to you for the time being."

"There are some high-energy nutrients in the cabin that you can take."

Meng Qianyun pointed to the wooden house next to them, which was exactly the same as the one on the cliff, just as simple.

Ji Jingqiu looked at the dozen or so warriors in front of him. Are these people all using the sky as their blanket?
But it must be said that these high-energy nutritional supplements solved one of his problems.

"Thank you, Senior Qianyun."

"You're welcome. You can start practicing now."

After saying this, Meng Qianyun left, leaving Ji Jingqiu alone.

The climate on the top of the mountain is very cold, dozens of degrees below zero. Given Ji Jingqiu's physique, he must always maintain his Qi to protect himself in order to feel more comfortable.

He took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and began to walk towards the wooden house on the edge of the cliff.

Within 300 meters of the wooden house, Ji Jingqiu stopped and a shadow holding a knife seemed to appear in front of him.

It is the manifestation of the sword intent!

The figure held a knife in his hand and swung it again and again, slashing towards Ji Jingqiu.

The knife light was like the first snow in winter, layer upon layer, with a strong sense of hierarchy, actually depicting a landscape ink painting!

The sword forces piled up one after another, like countless thin wooden sticks, forming points and lines, and building a tall building. They reached a perfect balance with each other, and the tall building rose from the flat ground, blocking Ji Jingqiu in front of him!

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but be amazed.

This was a knife technique he had never seen before, and it was another interpretation of skill.

He raised his knife to try to break it, but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

There were indeed gaps that looked like flaws between the layers of sword power, but in his [Bodhi Wisdom Eyes], they were actually traps.

As long as the enemy triggers these traps, the originally stably built high-rise buildings will collapse like an avalanche in an instant!

These blade beams alone do not pose a threat, but once so many blade beams pour down according to certain rules...

Ji Jingqiu smelled danger.

We cannot confront the problem head-on, but must find ways to resolve it.

Well...it's not without flaws.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Jingqiu raised his sword and slashed at a certain node.

The blade light that was like an ink painting suddenly lost control and dissipated like an avalanche, flying in all directions and no longer posing any danger.

The obstacle in front of Ji Jingqiu also disappeared.

He took a step forward, and immediately afterwards, the second sword intent came!
Ji Jingqiu looked forward and understood the rules of operation here.

A distance of several hundred meters——

This means that he will have hundreds or thousands of collisions with the sword intent spread across the mountaintops.

It also means that he will fight with Senior Meng Pingchuan hundreds or thousands of times!
……

……

Hanhai Academy.

Ruan Qingshan finished a day of training and lay in a medicinal bath to relieve his fatigue, while also browsing the news on the martial arts channel on the terminal.

At this moment, he was arguing fiercely with others with his five fingers flying, discussing who could challenge the seventeenth floor of Baiyujing in this life, and then imprint his own figure in it to squeeze out one of the seventeen people.

[I admit that Ji Jingqiu is indeed very good, but it is still not easy to defeat all the top seventeen people in the Federation in the past ten thousand years. According to the information I have, the two geniuses of this generation from the six major families have challenged the 10th and 11th levels respectively. They are the ones who really have the hope of breaking through the seventeenth level of the world's genius! ]

Seeing the other party type a comment that seemed to be a well-reasoned analysis but was actually full of speculation, Ruan Qingshan sneered and typed a reply:
"You know nothing!"

"The seventeenth floor is fifty-one at most!"
