Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 185 Return to the Four Guardian Stars, Goodbye Lajiang, Meet My Sword
"After seeing the gods, you will continue to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, and find your place in the laws of heaven and earth. From then on, every move you make will contain the laws. You are the laws, and the laws are you. At this point, you have the law."

"In addition, starting from the martial arts of seeing the gods, there are three legends - seeing the heaven and earth, seeing all living beings, and seeing the true self."

"The three are in no particular order. It is a very mysterious state. Many people may not be able to penetrate even one of them in their lifetime..."

Inside the wooden house, Meng Qianyun and Ji Jingqiu sat around a brazier.

Meng Qianyun explained to Ji Jingqiu his views on seeing God and the path ahead.

"Where are you going next?"

Meng Qianyun handed Ji Jingqiu a piece of freshly roasted dried meat and asked casually.

Originally, he only thought that Ji Jingqiu was a junior whom Di Tieshan asked him to help take care of.

But Xue Zu's decision just now made Ji Jingqiu a future ally that the Meng family must pay attention to.

——As long as the giant void beast is hatched, even if Ji Jingqiu dies halfway, as long as he still has offspring passing down in the world, it will not decline. Moreover, with Xue Zu still around, the relationship between the two families will only become closer and closer.

"The junior will return to the Four Guardian Stars to try out the sword."

Meng Qianyun nodded slightly.

This answer is very martial-like. In the past, whenever he made a breakthrough, he would seek out martial artists of the same generation to learn from and verify what he had learned. Ji Jingqiu should be the same as him.

"If you have any trouble in the future, you can call Pingchuanxing to ask. The Meng family still has some power." Meng Qianyun said concisely.

He was aloof and cold by nature. He only liked practicing martial arts and didn't like interacting with others. Being able to say this to Ji Jingqiu was already the limit.

"Thank you, Senior Meng."

After Ji Jingqiu had some free time, he opened the terminal and contacted the dojo first to explain that he had successfully seen the god. He then responded to recent inquiries from other friends, and finally shared the news of his successful encounter with the god through martial arts in the group.

[Yourong]: Where are the red envelopes?
[Sword Heart Clear]: Congratulations, Brother Ji, on reaching the level of a martial arts master!

[I Have a Big Gun]: Red envelope, red envelope! Also, hurry up and get the four guardian stars, Brother Ke and Sister Qin are already stuck!

[Lei]: Brother Ji, please come to the Four Guardian Stars quickly. We are waiting for you!
[Six Paths Emperor]: Brother Ji, with your current reputation on the Internet, it will be difficult to end it unless you break into Baiyujing!
……

After glancing at everyone's replies, Ji Jingqiu sent out a red envelope to share in the good luck.

He took a chance and found that it was the highest in the audience. He nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he was worthy of it.

Shortly after.

Ji Jingqiu boarded the spaceship arranged by the dojo to the Four Guardian Stars.

After leaving Pingchuan Star, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but look at the ancient snake mark on the back of his hand, looking a little dazed.

Did he really kidnap a giant void beast?
He felt the heartbeat and mental fluctuations coming from the dark void through the mark on the back of his hand. Following Professor Xue Zu's method, he visualized the scene of the calamity and extinction that he had seen before, and transmitted a hint of the true meaning of extinction. Immediately, he gained a touch of intimacy and admiration.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be thinking about something.

This is the one who has milk is the mother...

Once a pure-blooded void behemoth is hatched, it starts at the third level, which is the realm of divine wandering.

The strength span of childhood covers the range from spiritual wandering to mental state, and breaking through the youth stage is equivalent to a celestial being in the Federation.

Moreover, among the same level, the Void Behemoth has always been invincible and is least afraid of group battles.

These creatures, born and raised in the void, are destined to become overlords.

Ji Jingqiu became interested and studied the mark for a long time.

Even the transformed Qingzhu was ignored.

When he reacted, he quickly used the Eternal Sword's method of maintaining the sword to nourish Qing Zhu and soothe the spirituality that had already emerged in it.

The secret method taught to him by Patriarch Qingyang was very successful.

At this moment, Qingzhu has already embarked on the path of evolution into a semi-divine weapon.

At the end of this road is the magical weapon that protects the six major families.

It takes three days to reach Sishou Star from Pingchuan Star.

During this period, in addition to getting familiar with the god in his heart, Ji Jingqiu was thinking about his next path.

At this point, Ji Jingqiu can be said to have reached the limit of the true seed realm.

He currently has only three steps to improve.

First, continue to use knives and axes to carve out the spirit, form and aura in the body, and strengthen and perfect the prototype of the dojo.

The second is to use the God in your heart as a medium to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and to see beyond God, which is to have the law.

The third is to continue nurturing the innate magical powers in the body. The [Heart Flame All-Seeing Lamp] had just sprouted from a seed, and after combining with the light of wisdom, it underwent a new transformation.

Each of these three steps will not bring about short-term benefits, but will lead to transformation. These steps are long-term work that requires long-term persistence.

If he didn't need to wait for the Jiuzhou Ancient Road, he could directly break through the spiritual journey and try to accommodate the spiritual inspiration.

After accommodating the nine-foot-nine Water Moon Spirit, his Water Moon Domain will inevitably undergo a transformation.

This day.

Long Qingyang called him personally and told him that after he had achieved divine enlightenment in martial arts and stabilized his foundation, he could go to the Four Guardian Stars and try to challenge Baiyujing.

He also claimed that federal officials had been building up momentum for him for more than a week.

"Building momentum for me?" Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

"What else? You are already the number one among this generation of young people. If we don't build momentum for you, who will we build momentum for?"

In the projection, Long Qingyang smiled rarely and was in a very happy mood. It had been a long time since the Longhu Dojo had produced a warrior who could challenge the historical Baiyujing in the True Seed Realm.

The last one was six thousand years ago!

Moreover, Ji Jingqiu’s strength is not just limited to climbing up the stairs to challenge!
He said, "This generation is the last golden age predicted by General Ji. Right now, the average quality alone has surpassed history, but it still lacks the top-level combat power. The higher-ups hope that you can fill this gap."

Ji Jingqiu asked, "Didn't Ke Pingluan and Qin Qingjue go to challenge Bai Yujing? What were their results?"

"These two little guys are doing well for now, but they are still a long way from reaching the top and overlooking the world as some people imagine."

Speaking of this, Long Qingyang shook his head slightly, and felt that some people's demands were a bit too high.

In this generation, including Ji Jingqiu, there are already three people who have been able to enter the "Twelve Floors and Five Cities", and there are still many young people who have not yet reached their limits. This number may double in the future.

As far as Ji Jingqiu knew, the seventeenth level of Baiyujing's history was filled with the seventeen strongest people in the True Seed Realm.

Although it is from one to seventeen, the strength division is not like that.

To put it bluntly, at this point, everyone's strength is not much different. When they really compete, there will be wins and losses, and there are many influencing factors.

A failed game, an imbalance in your state of mind...will directly affect the key to victory or defeat.

In this situation, Ke Pingluan and his partner, as challengers, naturally have a considerable advantage, because they can challenge repeatedly until they find an opportunity to win.

And this is also the fundamental reason why they challenge Baiyujing, to fight to support themselves and to overcome their own shortcomings.

But in the eyes of some, that's not enough.

Long Qingyang said:

"Before you broke through to the God-Seeing Realm, you were already able to defeat a top-level warrior with one strike. After you broke through to the God-Seeing Realm, your strength should have improved significantly."

"If you can satisfy certain people's requirements this time, if nothing unexpected happens, a lot of foundation-level resources will be tilted towards you."

"Things on East 3 Huangxing will be much easier to handle. Maybe we won't need Bai Lu as a middleman. We can directly list it under your name."

The East 3 Brilliant Star was directly listed under his name...

Ji Jingqiu suddenly became interested.

"No more talking. I have things to do here too."

Long Qingyang seemed to be busy, and his voice had been intermittent since the beginning.

After hanging up, Ji Jingqiu opened the terminal and looked at the developments in the martial arts channel.

He had noticed that someone was building momentum behind the scenes, but he never expected that it would point to him in the end.

Just watch and watch.

Ji Jingqiu's expression suddenly became strange.

Three knives and one layer...

Is this how federal officials are building momentum?

I don’t know who brought up the topic, but a large-scale vote was launched online, with the title being about whether he could reach the top of Baiyujing.

He suddenly understood why Li Chengfeng had said in the group that if he didn't go to Baiyujing, it would be difficult to end the matter.

Reaching the top of Baiyujing, with Ke Pingluan and Qin Qingjue ahead, had already become a hot topic on the internet.

Ji Jingqiu put down the terminal and continued to practice, trying to comprehend the way to see God.

It was not until the spacecraft arrived at the Four Guardian Stars that he opened his eyes and felt the presence of his "good friend from the Federation" Lajiang who was the first to greet him.

La Jiang was very enthusiastic. As soon as the spaceship entered the Four Guardian Planet and before landing, she kept yelling in his ear.

[Tsk tsk, you actually managed to make it through? ]

[Was it that bastard Mu Shitian who did it, or was it that bastard He Donghuang who helped you? I sensed that the other three idiots were tricked! Served them right!]

Ji Jingqiu walked out of the cabin and nodded to greet the people who were responsible for picking him up and taking care of his daily life.

Beside him, a figure that only he could see was vivid and kept circling around him, harassing him in a very human way.

Ji Jingqiu looked straight ahead, ignoring everything.

Although he pretended not to hear, Ji Jingqiu seemed to be thinking about something. Lajiang's way of addressing Mu Shuai and He Shuai was quite distinct.

A bastard, a thief...

Judging from the tone just now, Lajiang seems to hate Mu Shuai even more?
Why is this? He thought La Jiang would hate He Shuai even more, after all, He Shuai's knife still suppressed him to this day.

[Hey, you took a giant void beast with you on a long trip? Let me see, wow, it's the famous World Devouring Snake? Can you afford it? ]

Ji Jingqiu walked out of the cabin, his mind full of thoughts.

Suddenly I remembered that one of the mantras in Hela's sacrificial ceremony is the great "Mother of Snakes".

But there shouldn't be any connection.

The void behemoths were born and raised naturally, and it is no problem to say that they are the manifestation of the great Dao of heaven and earth. Precisely for this reason, there is no threshold for their promotion, and they only need to "eat and sleep" step by step.

After getting off the spaceship, Ji Jingqiu discovered that they did not land in any of the three cities, but directly docked near Baiyujing!

"Ji Jingqiu, right?" A researcher in a white coat said with a smile, "Come with me, Elder Ning wants to see you. Also, you will challenge Bai Yujing later, and this is also the place."

Ji Jingqiu looked surprised, he originally thought that challenging the seventeenth floor of Baiyujing would be the same as before, entering the mind cabin and conducting a virtual challenge.

"It's difficult for the virtual challenge in the mind cabin to simulate 'Martial Arts to Meet God', so if you want to challenge the seventeenth level of history, you must be in the Baiyujing headquarters."

The researcher gave him a brief introduction, then handed him a thick stack of documents and shrugged, "Confirm, we received the news that your next challenge will be open to everyone."

"What do you mean by facing everyone?"

“Have you ever heard of live streaming?”

"..." Ji Jingqiu looked stunned. Is this also part of the federation's publicity?
Under the guidance of this person, Ji Jingqiu walked into Baiyujing.

Hela beside him still did not disappear and was still chirping around him.

Ji Jingqiu turned a deaf ear and stuck to his original intention, refusing to be bewitched by the evil god. However, this did not stop La Jiang from dumping garbage into it desperately as if he had found a trash can.

[Boy, do you know how people are discussing you online now? ]

[Hehe, let me show you——]

……

"You are all aware of the prosperity of our Federation's martial arts, right? You said that someone can reach the 17th level of Baiyujing. I believe that the two people from the six major families are already strong enough, but you said that someone can reach the first level with three swords? Do you know what this concept means?"

"Today is better than the past, what's the problem?"

"Junji Blow, ugh!"

"No, even the geniuses of this generation of the six major families are stuck in the middle, and they fought hard to get up layer by layer. How can you think that a warrior born as an ordinary person can surpass the brilliant martial arts of the Federation for thousands of years?" "Indeed, Ji Jingqiu should be like those two, slowly climbing up the stairs to challenge, and then replacing one of them to become one of the gatekeepers of the twelve floors and five cities."

"Analyzing rationally, I believe Ji Jingqiu is qualified to reach the seventeenth floor, but San Dao... do you think those seventeen people are all Zhang Buzhou?"

"Insult Zhang (1/1)"

"Haha, although it's fun, I still want to remind you that in real life you don't even have the qualifications to meet Zhang Buzhou!"

"Don't make a fuss. You'll know when Ji Jingqiu comes up to challenge you."

"Latest intelligence! Ji Jingqiu has arrived at the Four Guardian Stars!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait!"

"Kill kill kill kill kill kill!"

……

Ji Jingqiu looked calm, seemingly ignoring the changing sounds around his ears, and read out all the comments in a very emotional voice.

It’s time to say it or not.

If you hold it in for too long, you'll go crazy.

So is God.

I don't know what this person is thinking, but he is acting really crazy with him.

As for the comments online...

Three knives?
He shook his head slightly.

it should be no problem.

It was not until Ji Jingqiu walked into Baiyujing that the noisy noise in his ears gradually dissipated.

Under the guidance of the researcher, Ji Jingqiu came to the courtyard he had passed by before.

In the courtyard, an old man was fishing in the pond with his back to him. There was no bait on his fishing rod and no fish in the pond.

Good man, he took the bait?
Ji Jingqiu said, "Mr. Ning, the junior is here."

According to Patriarch Qingyang, the person before him is the closest person to the Grand Master in the Federation.

The old man in front of the pond put down his fishing rod, turned his head, looked carefully at the young man in front of him, and nodded.

It turned out to be a self-proven innate talent, a complete transformation.

"I was wrong. I didn't expect you to go this far."

Ning Fengyuan looked at him with a little emotion. He had thought that this boy was not as good as Ji Linyuan, but he did not expect that in the end he would take a step that no one had ever taken in the past ten thousand years of the Federation.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Ning." Ji Jingqiu said.

"No praise." Ning Fengyuan shook his head and said, "I heard that you learned two swords in the Posa half plane, which can cut the top of the scorching sun. Would you mind using them to show me?"

"Of course!" Ji Jingqiu looked around the courtyard and said, "Is it right here?"

"You can rest assured when you draw your sword. The density here is far beyond what is available outside. Even a leaf is better than the strongest alloy in the Federation." Ning Fengyuan said with a confident smile.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes narrowed. Could this small courtyard be Mr. Ning's "kingdom of God"?
He no longer refused, held the knife with his right hand, adjusted his state, and swung the knife twice in succession with the strongest mental state.

One knife means everything is empty. Wherever the knife passes, everything is quiet and only the knife light is blazing. The true meaning contained in it is only one word: "empty".

Each sword strike brought a glimmer of hope. Wherever the sword slashed, destruction followed, as if it had triggered a catastrophe of great destruction. Afterwards, another sword light flashed, finding a glimmer of hope for survival.

Seeing these two, Ning Fengyuan nodded and praised them generously:

"Two very good sword moves, with profound artistic conception. It is hard to imagine that a true warrior like you could comprehend such a thing!"

"Keep improving. There's almost no upper limit to the power of these two swords. It all depends on how far you can go."

Even from his point of view, if Ji Jingqiu continues to improve his two swords, they will be enough to determine his path in the future!
In other words, it is no exaggeration to say that this boy has the qualities of a master, even though the Federation has never had the so-called master's qualities.

"But I think it's still a little bit short."

Ning Fengyuan suddenly changed the subject, his expression calm,

"If I'm not mistaken, your two strikes have stepped on the shoulders of others to some extent. This is not a problem for anyone, except for you - because I thought I could see your 'appearance' in these two strikes."

Ji Jingqiu's eyes fixed.

See your own image in the knife?

Ning Fengyuan raised his hand, and a projected image unfolded in the air.

It was Ji Jingqiu's challenge to the seventh level.

In the picture, Ji Jingqiu stood with his sword put away, his right hand on the hilt. His aura became restrained and deep, pushing his own state to the peak. Under the pressure of Ji Linyuan, he slowly slashed out with his strongest sword.

It was also with this sword that he saw the human body, the world, and established the prototype of a Taoist temple!
Ji Jingqiu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this person had actually studied the video of him challenging the person on the seventh floor.

"In the battle where you defeated Ji Linyuan, I clearly saw your 'See Me' move."

"I thought that the two sword techniques you created would be a step up from this one, but I didn't expect that you didn't use them as a prototype to create your own sword technique. This makes me a little surprised."

Ning Fengyuan said in a low voice:

"Perhaps in the eyes of others, your two swords are not as good as this one in terms of intention, superiority, and future."

"But in my eyes, this strike is better than the sum of your first two strikes. If you miss it, it may be difficult to reappear in a thousand or ten thousand years."

At this moment, the Grand Master rarely showed emotion, his eyes were slightly hazy, and he said with some sadness,
"It's hard to get back the feelings you had when you were young... Once you lose the recklessness of youth, it won't feel right even if you get it back later."

Looking at himself on the screen, Ji Jingqiu seemed to be lost in thought, recalling the mood he had when he swung the knife that day.

But it always seems to be a little bit worse.

"Ji Jingqiu, have you taken a good look at the planet Four Guardians?"

Ning Fengyuan changed the subject again.
"Almost 100% of young people have never taken a good look at this planet. It's not because they are busy practicing martial arts and ignore their surroundings, or because they don't have the time, but because they are simply not qualified."

Ning Fengyuan pointed to the tall tower under their feet and said softly,
"There are twelve floors and five cities in Baiyujing. There is another floor above. Standing on this floor, you can use the power of the Dream God's origin to overlook the four guardian stars and achieve a brief unity between man and nature."

"This floor was left by Ji Shuai back then. You may not know that Baiyujing was built by Ji Shuai all by himself. This floor is a surprise he left for future warriors."

"However, among the warriors of later generations, there are only a few who have seen this surprise. I was not able to see it back then either."

“Only those who have stood on this level can dare to say that they have taken a good look at this planet when they were young.”

"Go ahead, climb the stairs again and try to find the state of mind you had when you first climbed the stairs. I'm not worried that you can reach the top floor. I'm only worried that you won't encounter any strong enemies in the True Seed Realm and it will be difficult for you to replicate this move."

Ji Jingqiu bowed and thanked him for his guidance.

After Ji Jingqiu left, he walked to the lounge under the arrangement of others.

Dr. Chen from the laboratory walked in with his hands in his pockets, smiling. He looked in the direction where Ji Jingqiu disappeared and said with some emotion:

"I didn't expect this kid to actually go this far."

"Speaking of which, Elder Ning, what are the chances of this kid successfully climbing the tower in one go? The higher-ups actually notified us that this guy's tower climbing challenge should be broadcast live to all warriors in the federation."

Ning Fengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that the federal top brass would make such arrangements.

"It seems that the scale of this campaign is not small." Ning Fengyuan narrowed his eyes and said, "If there is no accident, this boy will definitely reach the top. After all, he is a genius who can kill the king with a sword before he meets the god of martial arts. According to Jiuzhou, he has entered the forbidden sequence."

"Taboo Sequence?" Dr. Chen asked curiously, "It sounds powerful."

Ning Fengyuan nodded slightly: "Even in Jiuzhou, the forbidden sequence is the strongest one, and it is the true pinnacle of the True Seed Realm. The appearance of this boy means that our Federation's martial arts has finally reached the limit of heaven and earth in the True Seed Realm. The significance is even greater than the sixth limit!"

"Looking at the universe, what is the extent?" asked Dr. Chen.

Ning Fengyuan gave a five-word evaluation:

"Sweep away all opponents."

Dr. Chen was shocked, and then he said with anticipation, "I heard that there will be a more formal civilization battle than the previous exchange competition soon. The Federation is now building momentum for him. Are they preparing to let him participate?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Fengyuan shook his head and said, "After this battle, Ji Jingqiu will be temporarily hidden away to prepare for war and prepare for the route and breakthrough of the Divine Wandering Realm. His goal is the Jiuzhou Ancient Road."

"What about this war of civilizations?"

"The places for this civilization battle have been decided, and the team will be led by Ji Anquan of the Ji family."

Ning Fengyuan suddenly remembered something and said with a smile,

"By the way, the boy from the Pure Yang Dao will also participate in this civilization war. I heard that he has passed the Pure Yang Dao's trial and has now broken through to the Prideful Sun level. With the Pure Yang Dao's "Shen Yang" secret method, he can even possess the ultimate combat power of the Prideful Sun when necessary."

"That Zhang Sandao?" Dr. Chen had obviously heard of the related rumors and couldn't help but laugh. "Send this kid to measure the younger generations of other civilizations. If he wins and this matter spreads to the Internet, I can even imagine what people on the Internet will say about it."

"It's no big deal to lose one or two games when you are young. What matters is making it to the end." Ning Fengyuan said with a faint smile.

Speaking of which.

He paused and said meaningfully:

“Similarly, if Ji Jingqiu can maintain his lead all the way to Grandmaster, or even higher, then for everyone including Zhang Buzhou, even if they have been defeated by him before, it will become something to be proud of.”

……

……

"You can make any requests you want from now on, and we will try our best to meet them. By the way, when are you going to challenge Bai Yujing? We need to arrange it in advance."

The researcher who helped Ji Jingqiu arrange temporary accommodation said with anticipation.

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "Three days later. I'll adjust my condition!"

"Okay! Then three days later!" The researcher said straightforwardly, and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "By the way, do you have the confidence to win three times the price? The odds on you on the dark web are very high now!"

Ji Jingqiu's expression changed slightly, and he said seriously: "Gambling is not good."

The researcher left in dismay.

After this person left, Ji Jingqiu called Lou Qinglan and told her to buy his winnings for as much money as she had.

As for how many times a layer is cut, it will not exceed three.

Ji Jingqiu didn’t rest for long afterwards.

Ke Pingluan and Qin Qingjue, who were also in Baiyujing, came to visit one after another.

One is a martial arts fanatic, the other is a girl obsessed with swords.

Both of them are not good at speaking.

Ji Jingqiu looked left and right, and could only take the initiative to find conversation and started chatting with the two of them.

"Brother Ji, do you need information on the characters on the seventeenth floor?" Ke Pingluan suddenly asked.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head: "There's no need for the information, otherwise I'm afraid there won't be any surprises at all."

Ke Pingluan nodded thoughtfully.

In his guess, Ji Jingqiu might have really taken that step.

After the three of them chatted for a while, after asking Ji Jingqiu a few days after which the challenge would begin, the two left with satisfaction.

After seeing the two off.

Ji Jingqiu held the sword across his knees and began his final retreat to adjust his state.

Also during these three days.

With countless streams, a live broadcast three days later began to build momentum.

……

This morning.

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes.

The Qingzhu sings clearly and melodiously.

He stood up, picked up the knife and calmly walked out of the secret room.

To create a new era.
