Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 196: Embarking on the Ancient Road, the Beginning of Invincibility

Ji Jingqiu climbed to the top of the mountain and chose to leave shortly after carving the words. He was led down the mountain by Lu Tong and came to heaven.

In an instant, he felt the gazes of dozens of eyes, as if an invisible net bound him in the void. Coming from all directions, the aura behind them was extremely terrifying.

But soon, these gazes melted like ice and snow, and were dispelled and resolved by a majestic man beside him with divine light flickering on his body, bringing a strong sense of security.

"Everyone, this is the young supreme of my Jiugong generation, named Ji Jingqiu. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future."

A faint laugh came from the majestic man's mouth.

There was a brief silence, like the calm before a storm, but in the end, no one took any action in front of this person.

After a while, more than a dozen sighs were heard from all around. Some people left, while others stayed to offer superficial congratulations. Of course, some of them congratulated sincerely, and some even mentioned the young people under their influence, asking Ji Jingqiu to take care of them after he climbed the ancient road...

In this regard, the majestic men around Ji Jingqiu seemed to have taken on the task, but in fact they left plenty of room for maneuver.

After a moment, the majestic man seemed satisfied and left with Ji Jingqiu and Lu Tong.

Through Lu Tong's private introduction, Ji Jingqiu realized that the majestic man next to him was the Palace Master of Chi Ming Palace who personally helped him search for inspiration!
This Palace Master Qi had a good relationship with the Palace Master of their Dachi Tiangong. It was he who led the latter to join the Eighth Palace, which was later changed to the Ninth Palace.

"You are very good."

After leaving the gazes of the others, Qi Yunfei showed admiration on his face. He raised his hand, and a ray of inspiration as winding as a dragon revealed its mystery, lingering around his fingertips like a breeze, invisible and intangible.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes fixed.

This is actually a rare nine-foot-nine spiritual energy of the highest grade in the world, and it belongs to the category of Fengyun!

He snapped his fingers, and the inspiration was sent to Ji Jingqiu's hands, who immediately stored it in his inner vision.

"I traveled a lot this time and finally lived up to my expectations and found a ray of superior inspiration." Qi Yunfei said calmly, "You have laid a foundation for the taboos, and the palace must give you some support. I hope this ray of inspiration can help you go more smoothly in the Divine Wandering Realm."

Lu Tong said solemnly: "I'm sorry to bother Senior Brother Qi this time."

Ji Jingqiu may not be clear about the value and significance of this inspiration, but he is very clear that this kind of inspiration is so precious that it is almost priceless!
To find a nine-foot-nine ray of top-grade inspiration within a few days was either a stroke of luck or the result of enormous effort and cost. It was definitely not as simple as Qi Yunfei said.

“No problem.” Qi Yunfei waved his hand, looked at Ji Jingqiu, and smiled, “You can go back and rest first. The ancient road will be opened soon. Try to adjust your condition to the best. I hope you can make it into the top 30 of the Eternal Monument.”

Qi Yunfei waved his hand, and Ji Jingqiu's figure disappeared from here. He was sent directly out of the spirit world and back to the Nine Palaces.

Only Qi Yunfei and Lu Tong were left there.

"Your senior brother hasn't returned yet?" Qi Yunfei asked directly, "Such an outstanding disciple, why doesn't he come back to take a look?"

Lu Tong smiled bitterly and said, "I can't get in touch with you for now."

Qi Yunfei nodded, seemingly not surprised. He did not beat around the bush with Lu Tong and asked, "Is Ji Jingqiu a descendant or successor of He Donghuang?"

Lu Tong laughed dryly and said, "Brother Qi, what do you mean?"

Qi Yunfei glanced at him and said, "What is the relationship between me and your senior brother? I don't know the relationship between him and He Donghuang? Let's not talk about this. Tell me where did you kidnap this young forbidden person from? Do you know that during this period of time, the Nine Palaces, including other surrounding civilizations, have been almost turned upside down, but no information related to Ji Jingqiu has been found?"

Lu Tong still refused to admit it, and said with innocent and confident hands: "I don't know either."

Qi Yunfei ignored the guy who was trying to throw a tantrum and said thoughtfully, "Ji Jingqiu is from the universe? Have you contacted the other side?"

Talking about business, Lu Tong nodded slowly: "We have had some initial contact, but it's very weak. We will gradually increase our contacts in the future."

"Is it credible?"

Lu Tong shook his head: "We will wait for Jingqiu to grow up."

Qi Yunfei nodded: "The right choice."

It is far better to trust an individual than to trust a huge and complex force.

Qi Yunfei did not go into more depth on this issue. He stopped there. He put his hands behind his back, his eyes deep, and sighed softly: "We still need to speed up the progress as much as possible..."

Lu Tong frowned, caught the meaning behind this person's words, and said: "Is the situation so bad?"

Qi Yunfei did not answer immediately. He looked up and said after a long while: "I also hope that the deterioration rate can be slower, and I hope that the choice of your Great Red Palace is correct."

……

……

Two days later.

"Who made this knife? It's quite interesting. Although the craftsmanship of the person who made this knife is a bit shallow, many of the techniques used are very interesting. The most special thing is that I can't even tell which school of thought the other party belongs to."

Nishinoko, the casting master of Chi Ming Ming Palace, handed the Green Lord after nurturing to Ji Jingqiu and asked with interest.

Ji Jingqiu took over Qingzhu, and the thought within him was obviously much stronger than before.

He drew his sword from its sheath, and a cold light flashed, scaring people so much that their eyes hurt.

"This knife was forged by an elder from my hometown when he was young."

Upon hearing that it was someone from Ji Jingqiu's hometown, Xi Yezi did not ask any more questions. Currently, all the top leaders of Jiugong knew that Ji Jingqiu's identity was mysterious and that he was brought back by the Palace Master of Dachi Tiangong to support Dachi Tiangong.

——This is the news released by Dachi Tiangong itself.

Xi Yezi nodded and said, "No wonder, his master's inheritance is very interesting. If you have the chance in the future, please introduce him to me."

After that, he looked at the Qingzhu in Ji Jingqiu's hand and said, "The foundation of your knife is good. I simply adjusted it for you and incorporated some special metals to increase the overall flexibility. From now on, you just need to keep concentrating your mind on the knife."

"Thank you, Master Xi Yezi." Ji Jingqiu thanked.

"You are the taboo of this generation, no need to be polite." Xi Yezi said politely, "Nothing else, I will go back."

"I'll see you off."

After sending Master Xi Yezi away, Ji Jingqiu returned to the practice room.

The ancient road was about to begin, and he was doing the final review, recalling the plan he had previously made with his uncle and the others.

The ancient inheritance path is divided into two stages.

The first stage is survival, or simply put, staying alive. It is also the best time for warriors to search for opportunities.

The essence of the ancient road is a collection of countless inner worlds and secondary cosmic planes. Among these long-destroyed heavens and earths, there are many indigenous people, mythical creatures, or some monsters.

Under the influence of the ancient road's will, they will hunt down any creature that breaks into the ancient road trial.

But similarly, these broken planes will not lack opportunities and fortunes, divine substances, magical seeds, and spiritual inspirations from heaven and earth...

According to records, the most precious resources on the ancient road even include the "Origin of the World", which can help warriors open up their inner world in advance!

The strong explore various broken planes, searching for opportunities and fortune, while the weak struggle to survive. This is the first stage of the ancient inheritance path, and it is also the best time for many warriors to break through and transform.

The second stage is the road of trial.

After entering the ancient road, every warrior will act under the watchful eye of the ancient road's will, and all actions will be "scored".

All actions, including defeating other warriors, picking rare resources, hunting mythical creatures, indigenous peoples... will be recorded, added to the total score, and included in the ranking.

In the end, only the top ten thousand warriors in the overall ranking will be eligible to enter the final trial road, compete and impact the Eternal Monument ranking.

For Ji Jingqiu, if he wants to reach the final ranking of the Eternal Monument, he must achieve a perfect transformation in the Divine Wandering Realm.

The Dharma domain, the prototype of the Taoist temple, the formless Taoist body, the magical powers... these must all undergo a complete transformation within a short period of time.

To achieve all this, luck and fortune on the ancient road are necessary.

Ji Jingqiu was thinking in his mind.

He currently holds three spiritual powers in his hands, two are nine feet nine, and one is nine feet three. They are the Water Moon Spiritual Power, the Qingfeng Spiritual Power, and the Mountain Spiritual Power sponsored by Yuandong Tiangong.

The ancient road is opened, and it may take a year at the shortest and several years at the longest. He estimates that he will spend a lot of time searching for the spiritual opportunity of heaven and earth that suits him and refining it.

If one wants to search for resources and fortune, one person is actually a bit slow...

Uncle Master Gu helped him find two followers, one named Lu Zhen and the other named Qian You. They were both his own people, and the latter was the descendant of Senior Brother Qian Zhong. Both of them had signed a contract and could be trusted.

After we meet up on the ancient road, you can help him with some chores.

Finally, Senior Brother Gu also taught him the method of contract, hoping that he would build up his own force after arriving on the ancient road.

On the ancient road, there are 800 million warriors in Jambu Continent alone, and the number of people in the entire Far East war zone will exceed 2 billion.

In addition, the ancient road is vast and boundless, and a person's power will eventually be limited. He needs to have his own power to search for resources and intelligence.

Coach He did not deliberately build up a force back then, but later on, he still unknowingly formed a powerful alliance with himself as the center.

In addition, Senior Brother Gu also handed him a token, with which he could mobilize some of the indigenous people on the Ancient Road. The predecessors of Jiugong had developed their power on the Ancient Road. This was a legacy of the past, and all forces had similar actions, but no one could say how many were left now.

As for forming a power, Ji Jingqiu was not very optimistic about himself. He lacked experience in this area. His initial plan was to defeat some young strong men, to decide the winner with fists, to gradually expand his influence, and to attract people he knew to gather together.

For example, the warriors from the Federation and the Nine Palaces.

As the ancient road was about to open, Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged for a long time to regulate his breathing.
Until this afternoon.

The countdown to the opening of the ancient inheritance road has officially begun.

Many high-ranking officials of the Dachi Tiangong came to see Ji Jingqiu one by one, gave him encouragement and blessings, and said goodbye to him.

"Jingqiu, how is the development of your innate magical power going?" Qianzhong walked over and asked curiously.

After witnessing Ji Jingqiu forcing back the black fog in the Youhai Sea with his own eyes, he became particularly interested in Ji Jingqiu's magical power.

"I have improved a lot during this period of time." Ji Jingqiu said. During this period of time, with the help of his senior brothers and uncles, he received a lot of divine nourishment. His innate supernatural powers entered a new stage and he was not far from perfection.

This kind of progress is incredible. Generally speaking, perfect supernatural powers can only be achieved in the shackles realm.

Compared to the [Heart Flame All-Seeing Lamp], his [Bodhi Wisdom Eye] is still in its initial stage.

Qianzhong asked: "Can it be shared with others?"

Ji Jingqiu's fingertips slowly lit up with a soft and restrained light that seemed to be able to illuminate all darkness. He nodded and said, "My [Heart Flame Universal Lamp] has already evolved into the first level of mystery. It can condense the wick and give it to other warriors. They only need to water it with the power of their hearts to ward off evil spirits."

Qianzhong's spirits lifted, and he carefully took the wick. Following Ji Jingqiu's instructions, he brought it into his own spiritual world and watered it with the power of his soul.

He asked with concern: "Do you have the ability to interfere with the separated sub-lights?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded: "You planted my wick. I can sense your location based on the wick, and I can also 'extinguish' it at any time."

Qianzhong nodded with satisfaction. This kind of magical power that can be "shared" requires absolute control!
"Can it grow?" Qianzhong suddenly asked.

Ji Jingqiu hesitated and said, "It should be possible. If you keep watering it with your spiritual power, it will definitely become brighter and brighter. But how big it can grow... that should be related to me."

Qian Zhong said with a smile: "Okay, keep going on Gu Lu, I'll go study this thing."

After obtaining the wick of the [Heart Flame All-Seeing Lamp], Qianchong felt as if he had acquired a peerless magical power and left in high spirits.

Not long after, Senior Brother Gu Chensha and Senior Uncle Lu Tong arrived together for the last time. Senior Uncle Lu's final earnest instructions to him were:

"Take a good look at the list I prepared for you. Suppress those who should be suppressed and subdue those who should be subdued. Try to follow Senior He's old path again!"

Ji Jingqiu was speechless and nodded.

Uncle Lu’s expectations for him can be said to be the highest among everyone. The list of enemies given to him clearly recorded the young generations of the ethnic groups that Master He had suppressed and made enemies with on the ancient road in the past.

Ji Jingqiu took a look at it at that time and saw that there were hundreds of civilized forces listed!
"When you get to the Ancient Road, be careful of other people. It's better to kill the wrong person than to trust the wrong person. Even people from the Nine Palaces cannot be trusted. Anything can happen on the Ancient Road. It will be the first cruel battlefield you encounter in your life, full of betrayal and blood. Make good use of the contract method I taught you."

Gu Chensha said in a deep voice.

Ji Jingqiu nodded seriously to indicate that he knew.

Previously, in order to obtain a seed quota, the Beicang Merchant Alliance had joined forces with foreign enemies and tried to eliminate itself in the Posha demiplane.

On the ancient road of inheritance, the situation will only become more serious.

In the face of so many opportunities and chances, even family ties may not be reliable.

Afterwards, Ji Jingqiu talked with Uncle Gu about the passage on the Jin family's side.

Senior Brother Qianzhong will continue to be responsible for the connection with the Federation.

Senior Brother Shi Xuanzhen has already obtained a quota through the Jin family. After he leaves, the Dragon and Tiger Dojo will send people in one after another.

Once the passage is large enough to accommodate the passage of celestial beings, it is time for it to be officially "developed".

“The ancient road will open!”

In an instant, the majestic and mighty voice was like the sound of a huge bell, deep and rich, covering the nine floating islands and resounding in the hearts of countless warriors.

"All Shinzo warriors, get ready!"

Ji Jingqiu stood up and looked up at the sky.

Jin Xi and Jin Gu followed behind him, and they would enter the ancient road together. Although they would be scattered in different areas after entering the ancient road, as long as they could hold on until the middle stage, they would have a chance to meet.

next moment.

The dull roar, like that of ancient war drums, rumbled in from beyond the horizon, followed by the distant and desolate sound of a horn, blowing from nowhere, spanning endless time and space, and resounding between heaven and earth.

Everyone looked up and saw a shocking crack appearing above the sky. It was dark and deep, and expanded at a terrifying speed. Before long, it occupied most of the sky.

This is where the ancient heritage road is!
Ji Jingqiu sensed the mysterious pull and let out a sigh of relief. Finally, this moment had arrived and the ancient path of Jiuzhou's inheritance opened before him.

"Go ahead, come back alive."

The majestic voice echoed between heaven and earth.

Then, all the Shinzhong warriors who had obtained places disappeared from the spot and stepped into another world.

And at the same time.

Next to the crack in the sky.

As many as a dozen figures stood there like gods and demons.

Those who can stand here are all top figures from major overlord forces, standing at the pinnacle that this universe can accommodate.

At this moment, their eyes flickered as they paid close attention to the emergence of this ancient heritage road, trying to find another passage.

This ancient inheritance road will only appear when the time comes. At other times, even the strongest people in Jiuzhou cannot find where it is hidden.

According to rumors, the ancient road is not only the place of inheritance and trial of the original universe where Jiuzhou is located, but also a place where fire is buried, hiding the relics of countless civilizations from ancient centuries.

Even the strongest ones want to enter and take a peek at certain secrets, such as the collapse of heaven and earth, a catastrophe that even the universe would have difficulty surviving.

"It's going to be a mess..."

Suddenly, the old man from the Hunting God Company spoke first in a deep voice.

Someone followed his gaze and soon saw wisps of black mist emanating from the corner of the crack!

That is the dark fog of the sea!

Unexpectedly, this black fog actually seeped in from the ancient road.

"Sure enough, this broken universe is heading towards destruction. It was eroded by the Dark Sea earlier than the big universe."

A powerful man was surrounded by countless golden divine chains, as if he was responding to the Dao of Heaven and Earth at any time. At this moment, he was muttering in a low voice with an ugly expression.

This means they lost the "bet" countless years ago.

“I wonder if the methods of the Buddhist Village can control the black fog of the Dark Sea.” Suddenly a strong man spoke.

"You're overthinking." A woman whispered, the divine light around her surged, transforming into dozens of divine rings surrounding her, appearing transcendent and sacred. "If the Buddhist Land is not afraid of even the mist, how could there not be a single taboo in this generation?"

She stretched out her hand, and a ray of brilliant divine light was drawn by her, crossing the starry sky and sweeping through wisps of dark mist. When the two came into contact, there was a violent hissing sound, as if water and fire were incompatible. After a moment, the divine light and the dark mist annihilated each other.

This scene seemed to symbolize that the mist was not impossible to eliminate, but it did not make the powerful warriors present look good. Instead, it became even uglier.

Because... proportion.

The status represented by the phantom mist is so high that even if they take action personally, they will need more than two portions of divine power to annihilate one portion of the phantom mist.

The mist is endless.

The woman from the Celestial Clan sighed and said, "At this rate of infiltration, I'm afraid that within a thousand years, Yanfu Continent will become a desolate place, and no one except the overlord forces will be able to survive."

"Should we migrate to other continents... or fight back to the universe?" someone asked.

"If we take the path of the Dark Sea Rift, even if we can fight our way back to the universe, what will happen to our civilization?"

“You can hide in the Kingdom of God!”

"It can't be hidden." Someone sighed, "The essence of killing back is to use the life essence of countless creatures in the universe to cover up our breath. How many creatures do you have to kill in order to bring your tribe back to the universe?"

"In the short term, there is only one way, which is migration. But this way is just a temporary solution. If the world is destroyed, it is only a matter of time before we reach other continents."

Qi Yunfei's eyes were deep, and he said in a detached manner: "If you want to return to the universe, you may not have only one way to kill your way back."

Many strong men sighed. The cracks were random and it was difficult for them to find suitable partners. Even if they did find one, how could they trust that the other party would not do anything tricky?
They want to return to the universe, but the civilization on the other side of the universe may not want to see them return!
"Aren't you curious... why the mist seeped in from the ancient road?" Someone suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Does this mean that there is also mist in the ancient road?"

……

……

The ancient inheritance path is opened.

All the warriors who obtained the quota started on their journey and entered the ancient road through the quota.

The moment they entered, they saw countless planes rotating and shattering like a dream bubble. The world was born and died at one point. Only two long rivers ran through everything, connecting everything and also transcending everything...

In ancient legends, the two long rivers are time and fate, and only the supreme being can transcend them.

Before they could see more, their perspective suddenly dropped and they were pulled by an invisible force into a boundary river filled with countless colorful "bubbles".

Each bubble represents a ruined cosmic plane, or it may be the inner universe of a powerful being!
These bubbles are adjacent to each other, revealing bizarre colors. No one can see what is inside until they enter.

Without waiting for them to make their own choice, all warriors were randomly assigned to a certain plane!

Almost at the moment of landing...

The battle for the ancient road has already begun!
……

The gray sky was like an iron curtain hanging low, depressing and dull. Dozens of figures appeared at the same time on a dark plain, and on the distant horizon sat a group of dilapidated buildings.

In an instant, dozens of auras rose up at the same time, and a clash of auras began!
Everyone looked at each other warily, and immediately began to test and position themselves, slowly moving away from each other.

At this time, the momentum continued to rise, suppressing everyone else and taking the lead!
"Are there any kings among you?"

Amid the sudden question, a young man with a purple crystal embedded in his forehead stood proudly. He had amazing blood and terrifying mental strength. At this moment, he overwhelmed others with his imposing manner and almost suppressed the other warriors in an instant.

The young man was aggressive, confident and flamboyant. He stood there with a smile on his face, his arrogance and conceit not concealed at all. At this moment, his eyes were as sharp as torches, sweeping around, and finally fixed on the only young man in the field who did not show any difficulty under his momentum.

He took a step forward, and the purple crystal between his eyebrows radiated a powerful spiritual force, which activated the laws of heaven and earth, covering the surrounding area and including everyone. At this moment, he stared at the young man and said with a bright smile:
"I am Senluo from the Purple Crystal Clan. Our meeting is destiny. Follow me. I am easy to get along with. As long as you are obedient, I will protect you and take you deep into the ancient road!"

After that, he glanced at the other people around him and said proudly:
"As for you... you can join my men and help out. If you want to be my follower, you must at least be crowned a king!"

Many people around had solemn expressions. Some of them had heard of the name of Senluo from the Amethyst Clan, and their expressions looked very ugly at this moment.

This is a quasi-forbidden warrior who is qualified to challenge the forbidden sequence!
There is a high probability that he can break through the forbidden sequence on the ancient road, step into this terrifying realm, and look down on his peers!
Faced with such a powerful enemy, even escaping would be a luxury for them.

But at the same time, there are also people who are tempted at this moment. If they can become a future follower of the Taboo Sequence, they may not have no chance in the future, but...

A thug?
That is pure cattle and horses, and they have no say among the same level at all.

No one wants to be someone else's complete subordinate right at the beginning; they feel like quitting and want to leave.

But Senluo was very "cautious" and included everyone in the range of his aura and locked their energy. Once anyone tried to escape, he would take forceful action to make an example of them!
When he first entered Gulu, he needed a group of qualified subordinates to help him investigate and collect intelligence.

Sen Luo smiled and said, "You are very lucky to have landed in the same place as me. You have the opportunity to become the original members of my Sen Luo team!"

The original team?
Someone smiled bitterly. Do you want to become someone else's vassal as soon as you come in? You are not even qualified to be a follower. The other party only wants to be crowned as a king. With such a big tone, your strength must be at least at the top of the king!
The young man who was being stared at alone due to the special "courtesy" from Senluo withdrew his gaze from above his head, looked at the one in front of him in surprise, and slowly reached out to press the hilt of the knife.

After a while.

The people around were silent and trembling as they looked at Senluo being ruthlessly trampled underfoot. No matter how much they knew from ancient books, it was not as personal as what they felt at this moment.

The young warrior who had just declared that he would only accept followers who were crowned as kings was trampled under someone's feet in the blink of an eye and lay flat in disguise.

At this moment, they deeply felt what it meant to inherit the ancient path!
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and strong people are like clouds!
Some people took advantage of this person's absence and quietly turned around and left this dangerous place. They wanted to go to the border, cross the boundary river, leave this seat, and look for their own opportunities.
Some people chose to stay after hesitation. After witnessing Senluo's quick defeat, they felt for the first time that having a big supporter at the beginning was a good choice.

At this moment, Sen Luo "lay flat" on the ground, his head slightly tilted and his eyes dull.

It's like a conqueror who was originally preparing to lead his army to capture cities, but suddenly encountered a meteorite falling from the sky on the way. All his ambitions were destroyed along with his army. He lay there in a daze, still unaware of the absurdity of what had just happened, and realized the disillusionment and impermanence of life.

A foot stepped on his chest, pinning him down so that he couldn't move.

In just a few moves, he was knocked down and trampled on the ground!
The young man stared at the purple crystal between his eyebrows and pondered for a while, then gave him two choices in a friendly way. His voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder in his ears:
"A warrior from the Amethyst Civilization? Let me see... Well, you are on the list, so I will give you one more choice—"

"Death, or surrender."
