Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 188: Holy King, Death of Seven Marshals, Mahjong Table

When the man from the Holy Temple was mentioned, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically, and he whispered:

"Your Highness, be careful with your words! It's better not to discuss this matter involving the Holy King!"

"The chief priest of the tribe made a related prophecy in person before, but he was attacked by some mysterious supreme power and was seriously injured. The identity of that person is extremely strange and difficult to guess!"

The young man in Chinese clothes looked a little unhappy.

The universe is vast and boundless, with numerous divisions, but the most accepted and recognized one is the five star rings. Each star ring area corresponds to an original plane.

The five original planes represent five supreme powers, one of which is called the [Holy Light Plane].

The former master of the [Holy Light Plane] was an almighty powerful being known as the [Holy King].

It is said that the ancestors of their Holy Spirit Clan were once followers of that supreme powerful being!
And now, a second-rate civilization in a border area actually spread the news that they were "pregnant" with the son of a holy king. It was simply absurd!
But in the exploration of the [Holy Light Demiplane] half a year ago, that crazy woman who came from the Temple Civilization not only obtained the highest inheritance of the Holy Light Ruins, but also received the praise of the Holy Light God System!
For a moment, the entire Holy Light Star Ring area was alarmed!

If this is true, it will have far-reaching consequences and affect the future of the entire Holy Light Star Ring!

"It's true that the temple is small but the evil spirits are strong..."

The vast universe has given birth to billions of races.

The Holy Temple Civilization, like the Yanhuang Federation, controls no more than a hundred solar systems. In the five-star ring position, it is only slightly better than those surface civilizations that have not yet left their planets.

But the secrets they hold are what the top civilizations in the core area of ​​the star ring have to take seriously and covet.

If it weren't for the increasingly serious invasion of the Heavenly Road opened up by the Dark Sea, the strong men of various races could not escape, and the silent treaty signed ten thousand years ago...

The young man in fancy clothes had deep eyes and whispered, "I hope I can see her in the exchange battle this time."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Your Highness, that person is not on the list of the Holy Temple Civilization to fight, but it is rumored that she will fight in the Kyushu Ancient Road."

"Jiuzhou Ancient Road..."

The young man in Chinese clothes looked serious.

The battlefield is so vast and huge that even the top civilization in the universe cannot guarantee that it can achieve brilliant results.

……

……

Temple civilization.

Since returning from her last trip to the Federation, Twilight has been in deep meditation.

Although he lost the communication battle, he brought back important news. Not only was he not at fault, but he was actually meritorious!
On this day, Twilight came out of seclusion and met with the archbishop of their temple.

"This civilization exchange war was jointly initiated by first-class civilizations such as the Demon Eye Empire, the Black Sun Tribe, and the Eldar. Do you want to join the war?" asked the archbishop.

Twilight asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

The Archbishop looked deep in his eyes and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, they are coming for the Saint."

Twilight frowned. If they really came for that woman, he could still understand the elves, after all, they were also from the Holy King faction. But why would the Demon Eye Empire and the Black Sun Clan want to get involved?
These two families have nothing to do with their Holy King line.

If they are divided according to the original plane channels they control, they should be considered as the Cangqing faction.

He suddenly thought of something: "Wasn't there a rumor before that someone from the Federation performed well in the Posha demiplane? Could these two families be coming for the Federation?"

The Archbishop groaned and said, "It is possible. We have already obtained the list of participants from the Yanhuang Federation this time."

"Will Ji Jingqiu participate?" Twilight asked with a sharp gaze.

The Archbishop shook his head and said in a very serious tone: "The one leading the team this time is a member of the Ji family. It is said that this boy has mastered Ji Tianxing's [Heaven and Man Chess Sword Diagram], so he needs special attention!"

Twilight's expression changed slightly. He had naturally heard of the reputation of this inheritance.

"By the way, you've been to the Federation before. Have you ever heard of Zhang Buzhou?" The Archbishop seemed to remember something. "The Federation has recently implemented a strict information blockade within the country, so it's difficult for us to go deep. However, according to the information we have discovered by some civilizations, in addition to Ji Jiazi, there is another Zhang Buzhou on the Federation's list of participants who needs special attention."

"Zhang Buzhou?"

Twilight recalled.

Just about to shake my head.

Then the archbishop said, "This man seems to have a nickname called Zhang Sandao. It is said that he is also very famous in this generation of the Federation."

Twilight fell silent.

You mentioned Zhang Buzhou, he really doesn't know who he is.

But you said Zhang Sandao...

Is it that the federal information blockade is too thorough, or are the intelligence departments of those civilizations just there to do nothing?
……

……

Four guardian stars.

The Sifang Shenzhu Temple.

Ke Pingluan opened his eyes, stood up and saluted the statue in front of him, then turned and walked towards the outer hall.

Before leaving, he glanced at Qin Qingjue and Ji Jingqiu who were still comprehending the divine hidden power in their bodies.

Especially Ji Jingqiu.

Over the past half month, they have been receiving instruction from the God Lord here together, feeling the divine treasures within their bodies, and learning how to open up the divine treasures.

Among them, the one who made the fastest progress and was the best in the world was Ji Jingqiu.

Just today, Ji Jingqiu has mastered the method of Shenzang and can "graduate", but the two of them will need at least half a month.

It's really amazing.

At this moment.

Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged in front of the statue. In the inner world, the four gods gathered together, and the only thing missing was a mahjong table.

Today is his graduation ceremony. He has mastered the principles and methods of opening the Divine Treasures, and has put forward some constructive suggestions, lowering the threshold for the development of the Divine Treasures.

In the Federation's martial arts, compared to the "super speed" of the True Seed and Body Forging, the Divine Wandering State is called a plateau.

Not only does it take a long time to search for inspiration, but the actual combat effectiveness in this realm is also difficult to improve much.

The method of Shenzang can greatly make up for this shortcoming and make the transition to the shackles realm more smooth.

There are three levels of Shenzang. According to deduction, after a Shenyou warrior opens the first Shenzang, his physical fitness can be greatly improved, which will also be of great benefit to the subsequent breakthrough in the Shackles Realm.

But although the current method of divine hiding is unpredictable, the threshold is too high for most divine warriors.

According to the current deduction, even with Ji Jingqiu's current physique, he needs to accommodate three spiritual inspirations after being promoted to the divine journey before he can hope to open the first divine treasure.

As for the subsequent second and third divine treasures, I am afraid that only those who are in the late stage of divine journey or even in the shackles realm can hope to open them.

Ji Jingqiu proposed the idea of ​​further subdividing the first level of the divine treasure, and realized it with the supreme wisdom light within half a month, although it is only theoretical at present.

The subdivided divine treasure will be divided into three layers, so that most of the divine wandering warriors will be qualified to open it step by step.

at this time.

In front of Ji Jingqiu was a huge star map, on which the stars in the sky were lit up, gathering into countless star fields.

[What you are seeing now is the star map of the explored universe area that we obtained when we traveled through the universe ten thousand years ago.]

Ji Jingqiu tried to find the location of the Federation on this star map, but it was completely in vain.

Looking at this star map, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but be fascinated. How wonderful it would be if he could travel through the starry sky according to this map, visit one civilization after another, and learn from and improve himself with the strong ones among them?

But to achieve this, one must at least be a celestial warrior.

Even the celestial beings only have the qualifications to cross the starry sky, and they are still at risk of falling.

As this star map continues to magnify, a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times...

Ji Jingqiu finally saw a small bright area on the star map.

Compared to the current star map that has been magnified countless times, this area is still pitifully small, but this is where the Yanhuang Federation is located.

Ji Jingqiu knew before that the vastness of the universe could not be described in words, but only now did he truly witness the exaggerated contrast.

The Federation’s current territory covers nearly a hundred solar systems, but looking at the entire universe, it is still far from enough.

[This is the star map you want to see, as well as the Federation's position on the star map. The area we are in is divided into many names, such as the Humanoid Alliance Area, the Fifth Star Ring, the Blue God Realm...]

[The vastness of the universe is beyond your imagination, even Kyushu cannot compare to it.]

[The universe is divided into many forces, such as the humanoid alliance and the non-human alliance based on ethnic groups; or the five-star ring zone based on the original plane controlled, holy light, blue, void...]

Dongfang Qingling admired the Nine-Qi God and introduced the structure of the universe to Ji Jingqiu.

According to Ji Jingqiu's later understanding, this person's original identity should be "Li Shuai" among the Seven Shuais.

After understanding the general structure of the universe.

Ji Jingqiu asked about the relationship between the Heavenly Road, the Ocean of the Mind and the Nine Continents.

Not long ago, he learned that the current "residents" of Jiuzhou were once members of the great universe, and were among the strongest in the universe. In the end, they almost "fled" to Jiuzhou.

According to the senior from the Cangqing lineage, this kind of escape is clearly an ostrich-like way of lingering on, and it may even result in the loss of the possibility of a last-ditch fight.

After a brief silence, Divine Master Li transmitted his voice:
[Behind the Heavenly Road is not the Nine Continents, or rather, the Nine Continents are just one of them. The essence of the Heavenly Road is a 'crack', or it can be said to be countless 'unstable doors', behind which are linked countless secondary universe planes.]

[To put it simply, the macrocosm is like the main trunk of a tree, and the secondary universe planes are the branches, leaves, flowers and fruits. ]

[Jiuzhou is not a secondary universe plane, it is more special. Compared with other secondary universe planes that are chaotic and disorderly and may perish at any moment, it is very stable, second only to the macrocosm, and even has many magical properties.]

[The information we have received shows that Jiuzhou is very likely the remnant left after the destruction of the last great universe. ]

[The Heavenly Road may be invaded by creatures from the secondary universe at any time, and the Heavenly Road does not appear randomly. This is the decision of Youhai. ]

[In theory, the more living beings with complete "minds" there are in an area, the more likely it is to attract the "attention" of the Nether Sea, causing the appearance of a sky road within the jurisdiction, and the degree of invasion will be more serious.]

[Ten thousand years ago, under the leadership of several major cosmic alliances, all parties signed a silent agreement. Before resolving the issues of the Nether Sea and the Heavenly Road, in addition to a truce and suspension of foreign wars, all parties must also transfer some personnel to certain disaster-stricken areas to jointly prevent the invasion of the Heavenly Road.]

[The Federation had no choice but to join this treaty, and because of this treaty, the Federation has sacrificed many master-level masters over the generations, and even a grand master has fallen. ]

Ji Jingqiu looked solemn as he finally learned the real cause of death of Grand Master Meng Pingchuan.

Afterwards, Ji Jingqiu asked in-depth questions on certain issues.

The several gods did not hide anything from him on most topics, allowing him to learn many secrets.

For example, the reason why the Federation does not restrict the promotion of the religion of gods is because they, as integrated entities of thoughts, are not among the ranks of "complete mental beings."

This means that the gods are not under the watchful eyes of the Dark Sea, and the danger level of the Heavenly Road will not increase with the increase of gods.

As integrated entities of thought, gods possess mental powers far exceeding those of their peers.

Not only can he sit in the abyss of the spiritual ocean and guard against its constant erosion, but he can also manifest into the mortal world and take action against the enemy when necessary.

For example, a purely technological civilization may not face the dangers of the Heavenly Road, but it is extremely lacking in means of mental defense.

Any evil spirit that emerges from the ocean of the mind can be a fatal threat to a purely technological civilization, not to mention the collective meme erosion of the ocean of the mind, which is a means of genocide.

The reason why the Federation does not have this problem is because the gods are seated in the Abyss.

In this topic, Ji Jingqiu first came across a question that he had always been curious about - the death of the Seventh Marshal.

Faced with this question, several gods remained silent for a long time, and then Li Shuai revealed to him some past events that had been buried in history.

In addition to answering some of the questions about the deaths of the Seven Marshals, it also made Ji Jingqiu finally understand why Marshal He was removed from the "history" of the Federation.

[This involves an event in the past... Ten thousand years ago, we made use of the opportunity of the spiritual ocean to achieve a soaring ascension. In just a few hundred years, we have completed a journey that other civilizations would take millions or tens of millions of years to complete.]

[When the Federation was not yet unified, many spies from civilizations invaded and tried to sow discord between us, because the strength we showed in our internal struggles was no less than that of some wars between first-class civilizations, and this speed of development made them feel deeply afraid.] [After we realized some problems, came together, and completed the great unification, the Federation officially entered the second stage of rapid development, which was also our peak moment——]

[At that time, even in the vast universe with countless powerful people, the Yanhuang Federation’s high-level combat power would be enough to rank among the top ranks! ]

[But the nightmare...was also born at that time. ]

[And this disaster involves Ahch's choice. ]

Ji Jingqiu fell silent as the God Lord revealed the secret.

According to several gods, Senior He faced a choice at that time that seemed simple but was actually difficult and fatal.

To break through, or not to break through.

At that time, he had already reached the end of the path. With one leap, he could step into an unspeakable realm.

According to General Ji's deduction, only by reaching this realm can the Federation be guaranteed eternal peace and avoid disaster.

However...if the breakthrough fails, it will inevitably cause suppression of the universe, riots in the ocean of the mind, and a series of chain reactions.

This would be a devastating blow to the Federation.

In response to this issue, a heated discussion broke out among the seven generals.

What was the final outcome of the discussion?

For several gods, this is a "long-ago" past event that is about to be forgotten, or they do not want to recall this past.

But the final outcome left a painful scar in the history of the Federation.

"Did Senior He succeed in the breakthrough, or did he fail?" Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but ask.

If he had failed, how could Senior He have severely injured the three demons with just a remnant of regret that had been nurtured for ten thousand years?

But if it succeeded, how could it end like this today...

The gods remained silent and did not answer.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to have the answer. Regardless of whether he was successful that day, the current outcome was a "failure."

Senior He's breakthrough triggered a series of chain reactions, such as the riot in the ocean of mind and the invasion of the four demons, plunging the Federation into an unprecedented crisis.

A large number of powerful people who emerged to meet the needs of the times eventually died in this disaster.

The worst of all is the riot in the ocean of the mind.

This is an invasion of all citizens within the jurisdiction. If not handled properly, it will be a disaster for the Federation.

In order to resist this catastrophe, the four main bodies in front of him died in the depths of the wilderness, and they had to embark on an alternative path to becoming a god. Under the guidance of Shuai Ji, they completed the transformation and became the current Four God Lords, sitting in Jiyuan all year round.

[We don’t remember some memories either. It’s not that we have forgotten them, but that we have cut them off ourselves. The reason is probably because some things, even if they only exist in memory, may bring fatal threats.]

At last.

The four commanders died and embarked on the path of becoming gods.

Senior He was almost dead, and even the traces he left behind were gradually forgotten.

Mu Shuai left and disappeared, and was confirmed to have died thousands of years ago.

After General Ji took charge of the overall affairs of the Federation and the four generals became true gods, no one knew where he went.

The seven marshals who were invincible in the vast universe with countless powerful people ten thousand years ago ended up in such a sad way, shining like a meteor in the vast universe.

In fact, for some reasons, the Yanhuang Federation has always been the main target of invasion by the Three Wilderness Demons.

After listening to this story.

Ji Jingqiu fell into silence for a long time.

He had no intention of judging anyone among them, he was just speechless and sighed.

[I tell you this in the hope that you will have a correct understanding of history. ]

[In recent years, the Federation has been under increasing pressure on the Heavenly Road. The current Federation is no longer enough. We need to introduce a force to break the impasse.]

[You must grow up as quickly as possible and become independent. After that, whether you want to explore the lost history or find ways to solve the crisis of Tianlu for the Federation... it's all up to you.]

Ji Jingqiu let out a sigh of relief.

The power to break through...

No wonder several gods had told him before that he wanted to become the lord of Jambu Continent.

If they could conquer many ethnic groups and forces like Senior He did in the past, establish a huge unified force, and then bring it back to the universe, then what they would face would no longer be the problem of invasion of the secondary universe planes on the Heavenly Road, but a counter-invasion plane war!

[Lord of Jambu? This matter is actually related to Hela——]

[The Four Gods of the Wilderness are even more special than the Nine Continents. Even the Nine Continents are just one of the cosmic planes they invaded.]

[They have a big appetite. Jiuzhou and the secondary planes are just their stepping stones. Their ultimate goal is still the universe.]

[And because of some reasons, our relationship with them is not harmonious, and we are enemies, so if necessary, we will trip them up. ]

[Taking over Jambu will help us further restrict Hela. Hela has put a lot of effort into Jambu, trying to transform it into her kingdom of God.]

Ji Jingqiu nodded, then asked doubtfully: "How should I get along with Him on a daily basis?"

[Don't worry, with His cooperation, we will split off a part of His essence and imprison it in your inner world.]

Ji Jingqiu was stunned and asked, "Are you sure he won't attack me?"

[We will impose restrictions. Besides... He dare not. With the protection of this Pure Land, He can be safe. If He attacks you and angers this Self-Nature Bodhi, and removes the Pure Land's protection, the water in this sea of ​​suffering alone will be enough to wipe out part of His origin.]

Ji Jingqiu nodded, it seemed that he was much stronger than he had imagined.

[As for your daily communication with Him, just remember to listen to what you want to hear. When you go to Jiuzhou in the future, He can also act as a 'guide' for you. ]

...This tour guide is a bit of a big shot.

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself.

Finally, he talked about serious matters with several gods. He wanted to build Dongsanhuang Star into his future "dojo" and was preparing to build a temple for the gods. He wondered whether the gods were willing to protect Dongsanhuang Star.

[A temple can be built anywhere. The real key lies in the main priest. Only a temple with a main priest can help us establish our coordinates in the world.]

[Didn't we get another chosen one recently? He has not been placed yet? Let him go to East 3 Brilliant Star.]

【Can. 】

【good. 】

The matter was settled in just a few words from the gods.

The chosen one not long ago?
Ji Jingqiu wondered, could it be Zhuang Bu Tong, Senior Zhuang?

Finally, before the gods left, Ji Jingqiu suddenly tried to persuade them to stay.

He glanced at the surrounding Pure Land, and based on the principle that the crying child gets the milk, he said tactfully that when Hila arrives, it will probably be very crowded here, and wondered if you could ask a few seniors to help expand the area...

The gods were silent for a moment.

In the end, each of them gave each of them a piece of Divine Power Faith brand tree fertilizer.

The Pure Land began to slowly expand outward, from the original 80 zhang to 16 zhang, fully doubling!
The small Bodhi tree swayed its branches and leaves, and its height grew rapidly, equivalent to the offerings that Ji Jingqiu had absorbed in the Supreme True Buddha Sect for countless days.

Ji Jingqiu was overjoyed. The pure land, which had seemed a little crowded due to the appearance of the bamboo forest and the pond, suddenly became bright and spacious. He decided to expand the pond someday.

Before leaving, Lord Li pointed at his guardian deity:
[If you really want to quickly expand this pure land, then you should go to heaven as soon as possible and swallow that little guy from the Supreme True Buddha Sect. By then, your retribution body will also be able to soar into the sky.]

Ji Jingqiu asked, "I heard that there is some danger in the Supreme Buddha Sect recently?"

[It's all right now, you can go without worry. Part of Shi Tian's past inheritance is in the hands of the Supreme True Buddha Sect. It's reasonable for you to get close to them and get them back on the right path as soon as possible.]

Ji Jingqiu understood.

After several gods left.

Ji Jingqiu took a tour around the pure land which had expanded nearly four times in size.

Fat Tiger chased the formless energy and rolled past his feet.

The originally crowded place has now become unusually spacious, and Fat Tiger cannot get out of the clean land even if he rolls eight or ten times.

Ji Jingqiu even felt a little empty.

After pondering for a moment, he left the inner world.

After saying goodbye to Qin Qingjue, Ji Jingqiu left the temple.

The half-month retreat and sedimentation has come to an end.

Under the arrangement of the temple, he returned to Baiyujing. At this time, the Crimson Laboratory had been cleared and all monitoring equipment had been turned off.

Ning Fengyuan received a notice from the God Lord and personally presided over it.

He originally thought that the high priest of the temple was coming to inspect or something, but he didn't expect that the person who came was Ji Jingqiu.

"You kid..." Ning Fengyuan suddenly thought of something and asked in a rare state of surprise, "Do the gods think you can get their approval?"

Him?
Ji Jingqiu's gaze fell on the center of the laboratory, the ancient knife that froze Hela there.

This is Senior He’s sword, Xuan Yi!

Just now.

A slight sound of a knife was heard, low and long, carrying the vicissitudes of time.

The sound of the sword did not fall into Ji Jingqiu's ears, but fell into the depths of his soul, circling around the two eternal swords in his inner vision, as if he had found the remaining traces of his companions.

Ning Fengyuan's expression changed drastically. Was this guy really favored by this guy? !
outside the laboratory.

Dr. Chen put his hands in his pockets and sighed slightly.

The temple was cleared, but this person was welcomed, and the reaction of the knife...

Hela's abnormal behavior in recent times is probably because of this child.

Is it the inheritance of He Shuai or the inheritance of Mu Shuai that can cause Hela to behave like this?

Besides, I was right in my previous guess, the gods have already made their move.

So...how should Crimson Laboratory deal with this?
……

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes.

Return to the inner world.

A graceful figure with a human head and a snake body sat quietly by the lotus pond with its back to him. The back was peaceful and beautiful, exuding a light and hazy aura, giving people a feeling of being close at hand, and yet as if far away in the sky.

She gently swayed her snake tail in the pool, like a silent dance, and the moon in the water at the bottom of the pool instantly shattered into pieces, leaving ripples on the surface of the pool.

At this moment, she is too otherworldly and extraordinary, her beauty does not belong to this world.

Ji Jingqiu became alert. The bad woman knew that her previous appearance could not seduce him, so she changed her style drastically.

But to be honest, with the addition of the bad woman, the Pure Land now really has some of the atmosphere of a Pure Land.

Bamboo forest, lotus pond, bodhi tree, moon in the water...

All that’s missing is a mahjong table and three other people.

When he can invite those three over and play mahjong together, Ji Jingqiu will have made it big!
I got up at 2 o'clock today, had a meal and played around before starting to write. This is the first day of trying to adjust my schedule... Good night everyone
