Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 197 He is giving me a way out!
"I am a core member of the Purple Crystal Clan of the Southern Wasteland Continent. You can't touch me!"

"I come from the Nine Palaces of Yanfuzhou."

"I am only one step away from entering the Forbidden Sequence. If you have the guts, wait until I complete the breakthrough, then come and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

"I've made a breakthrough, so I stand here and you lie here."

……

After several rounds of fighting, Sen Luo was completely defeated and fell into silence.

Although located in two continents, he had heard of the six overlord-level forces in Yamafu Continent.

And as a quasi-taboo, he couldn't even take a few moves from the opponent... He suspected that this person had made his own way on the path of taboo.

So, it's broken.

I can’t beat you with fists, I can’t beat you with background boards, I can’t beat you with words…

For the first time in his life, Senluo was completely at a disadvantage!
Seeing this person suddenly fall into depression, Ji Jingqiu comforted him:
"Don't worry, I'm actually very easy to get along with. Meeting is fate, and the fact that you and I can land in the same place is proof of fate. If you submit to me now, you will be the first elder in the future, and your merits will be immeasurable!"

"I'm not so hungry as to seize the fortune of my subordinates. I just need you to help me search for spiritual energy of specific attributes and a large amount of divine substances in the future."

Sen Luo: “…”

When similar words came out of the other person's mouth, he felt they were particularly harsh, like naked mockery, which made his heart ache and he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

At this point, Sen Luo was very clear that he had no choice at the moment, he just didn't want to accept it.

He had just entered the ancient road of inheritance, and his glorious battle history hadn’t even begun, but was about to be covered up by someone else?
He felt that if he was given some time, he could catch up with Ji Jingqiu, or at least fight him head-on, instead of being defeated in a few moves and being trampled to the ground.

This bastard lacks respect for taboos!

Ji Jingqiu saw through his little thoughts, and in order to ensure that he would work hard in the future instead of slacking off, he thoughtfully gave him a big pancake.

"If you feel unwilling, I can give you a chance to challenge me. One day in the future, when you feel that you have completed your transformation and reached the strongest combat power, you can challenge me. At that time, as long as you can take three of my swords, I will give you freedom and re-establish an alliance with you."

"But remember, you only have one chance. My patience is limited. If you can't even judge the situation, then you'd better leave as soon as possible."

Ji Jingqiu said slowly.

The reason why he gave the other party enough patience and tolerance was because the other party's strength was really good, surpassing the peak of being crowned king, but had not taken the last step.

With this kind of strength, even in the entire ancient heritage, he would be at the forefront and would become a very good agent and worker.

When he really builds up his own power in the future, this person can take charge and support him when he is in seclusion.

It can be said that encountering Senluo as soon as entering the ancient road is a gift from heaven.

Hearing Ji Jingqiu's words, Sen Luo became more alert and asked:
"really?!"

"Of course, I won't lie about this kind of thing." Ji Jingqiu responded straightforwardly.

Sen Luo's heart suddenly became active.

Three swords...

I see, this is a step for him!
This guy acknowledged his strength and potential and was prepared to give him the respect he deserved, so he made a three-sword agreement with him!

Once he crosses the taboo, this guy will re-sign the contract with him and be promoted from a follower to a partner.

Thinking of this guy's strength...

Sen Luo also had to admit that this was definitely a formidable enemy. He had not been able to tell the strength of the opponent in the previous fight!
Sen Luo immediately perked up and said cheerfully, "Okay, I promise you!"

After both parties reached a consensus, Ji Jingqiu and Senluo signed the relevant contract. Since it was the first time to sign the contract, Ji Jingqiu had little experience, so there were a lot of restrictions added.

Considering the way Ji Jingqiu had given him earlier and his confidence in himself, Sen Luo accepted it with a pinch of his nose.

As the mental contract was established, feeling the constraints of the contract, Sen Luo sighed and decided that he would temporarily be under Ji Jingqiu's command.

But it’s okay. Once he gets some good fortune, he can try to make the extreme transition and break through the taboo threshold.

Ji Jingqiu felt the mental contract taking effect, then he moved his feet and reached out to pull up Sen Luo.

"I am Ji Jingqiu."

"Sen Luo."

The two introduced themselves formally.

The restrictions of this contract are on the ancient road. Senluo needs to be Ji Jingqiu's follower, help him search for supplies, build up forces, and must not betray or sell out.

As for after leaving the ancient road...

It is obviously unrealistic to rely on the power of the contract to enslave someone for a lifetime. After all, given their current realm, the restrictive power attached to the contract they signed is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the truly powerful people of each race.

This is also one of the reasons why Senluo comforted himself and bowed his head temporarily. Staying alive is the most important thing. Many strong people have suffered setbacks on their way to rise, and he is no exception.

He would rather die than be enslaved for the rest of his life.

"You can leave now."

Ji Jingqiu glanced at the warriors around him. Most of them had left, but a few still stayed and gathered around. Their intentions were obvious.

However, Ji Jingqiu didn’t have the habit of “recruiting” everyone he saw, especially those warriors who were far inferior to himself.

The reason why he suppressed Sen Luo was because Sen Luo took the initiative to come to him.

Seeing that Ji Jingqiu was not so arrogant and domineering as to attack them at will, some people felt relieved and, at the same time, plucked up their courage and took the initiative to step forward, wanting to join his team.

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, thinking that this was a good start. He then glanced at Sen Luo, pointed at him and said:

"If you are interested, you can contact Sen Luo."

After hearing that Ji Jingqiu had found a "transit station", most of the people who stayed behind looked hesitant and finally chose to leave.

Sen Luo had a blank expression on his face. He secretly memorized the other person's face and thought to himself that one day he would be out of reach of his love!

"You are from Southern Wasteland. How many people of your generation in Southern Wasteland have entered the forbidden sequence before entering the ancient road?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

Sen Luo said seriously, "There are seven of them! But only four of them chose to enter the Far East War Zone. What about your generation in Yanfuzhou?"

Seven people? This number is nearly twice that of Jambu Continent.

If you don't count myself, it's more than twice as much.

However, Nanhuangzhou is one of the top three continents among the Nine Continents, and it has eight overlord-level forces. With such a foundation, it is no exception.

"Including me, that makes four."

Ji Jingqiu replied.

After hearing these words, even though it had been confirmed before, Sen Luo couldn't help but twitch his lips.

In such a huge Far East war zone, there are only eight taboo sequences on the surface. As a result, when I just came in and wanted to show off, I met one of them. What kind of luck is this?
Ji Jingqiu thought, if there were no taboos in the oasis, then there were only eight warriors in the Far East war zone who had broken through the taboo threshold before entering the ancient road.

There are probably dozens of quasi-taboos?

And after entering the ancient road and seizing its resources, these numbers might even double.

Oh, and there are also forces in the universe.

The top civilization in the universe should not be inferior to the dominant force on the ancient road.

However, due to the rules of heaven and earth, there should be no forbidden sequence...but it cannot be said so absolutely.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu thought of the Posa demiplane and Chi Ji from the Holy King's lineage.

He had been to the Posha demiplane before. The restrictions of this primitive plane were far less strict than those of the universe. If he lived in it for a long time, perhaps he could avoid some kind of suppression?

According to what Mu Rouzhi said before, it is not advisable to stay in the five original planes for a long time, as it will bring misfortune. However, the woman named Chi Ji dares to call herself the daughter of the Holy King, so it is possible that she has other means.

In addition, there is the foundation of Cang Qing and the Holy King's lineage.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but think of the "one leaf, one world" in the Posa demiplane.

The essence of the five original planes is the kingdom of God opened up by five supreme powers who were born at the beginning of the universe.

According to the information he has learned so far, these five supreme powers at the beginning of the universe are probably supreme powers at the same level as He Shuai who has broken through to the last step.

Hmm... just from this comparison, it's hard to say whether the Five Veins are stronger or He Shuai is stronger, Ji Jingqiu thought secretly.

As the only descendant of the Holy King's lineage, the woman named Chi Ji should not be underestimated and is worth looking forward to.

"Should we explore together or separate now?" Sen Luo suddenly spoke, staring at Ji Jingqiu's expression.

Ji Jingqiu looked up at the dilapidated buildings not far away. This area did not seem to be worth exploring. He said:

"Let's say goodbye."

After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand again, and a wick of the heart lamp condensed in his hand, and said: "You refine this. This is the mystery of my innate magical power. It can ward off evil and harm. In addition, I can use it to sense your location."

Sen Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ji Jingqiu take the initiative to separate. He was really afraid that this guy would seize the opportunity prepared for him by the clan.

After hearing that it was Ji Jingqiu's mysterious magical power, Sen Luo's face became solemn, but he did not refuse in the end.

The contract has been signed, are you still afraid of a positioning?

Moreover, he can also use this to understand the magical and mysterious nature of Ji Jingqiu's innate magical powers.

Only by knowing both yourself and the enemy can you defeat the enemy on the battlefield. This is where his chance of winning in the future lies.

After Sen Luo refined the wick, the two decided to go their separate ways, each looking for their first opportunity and meeting again in [Xuzhou City] in the future.

There are countless planes on the Ancient Road, and there are always a few special places. [Xuzhou City] is a neutral place explored in the early stage of the Ancient Road. It has been used as a platform for mutual communication by all parties since ancient times. There are even many indigenous people of the Ancient Road. Jiugong also had a stronghold in [Xuzhou City].

This is also the place where Ji Jingqiu and Jin Xi agreed to meet.

"Then we will say goodbye here. I will go find my destiny, break through the last threshold, and enter the spiritual journey as the strongest!" Sen Luo said confidently.

Ji Jingqiu nodded and said, "Looking forward to seeing you next time."

He did not stop Sen Luo from leaving, but stood where he was, studying the special features of some ancient roads. For example, after entering the ancient road, a complex pattern appeared on the back of the hand, which was shaped like an "eye".

Ji Jingqiu stared at the pattern, penetrated it with the power of his mind, and soon realized the special features of this mark.

This is a gift from the ancient heritage road and has multiple functions.

For example, after inputting specific coordinates, one can follow the instructions and go to a specific place without getting completely lost on the ancient road.

For example, you can see the rankings created by Gu Lu Yi.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes focused and he suddenly saw his position on the leaderboard.

He ranked quite high, at 17th place, and the comment behind him was "defeating a strong enemy". It should be that his act of defeating and subduing Senluo just now was recognized by Gulu.

However, defeating a quasi-taboo... is only the seventeenth?
What did others gain?
Ji Jingqiu looked at the front row. The names were all unfamiliar, and most of the comments behind them were "seized opportunities".

Is it possible to gain such a huge reward just after entering the ancient road?

However, thinking that he had also received a gift from God, Ji Jingqiu stopped studying it.

He quickly confirmed a coordinate through the mark and started on his way.

This coordinate is the opportunity carefully selected for him by his senior brothers and uncles in Dachi Tiangong.

He wanted to go here, seize the opportunity, and then go into seclusion to break through and enter a spiritual realm.

The Wandering Realm...

From this stage on, the martial arts paths of the Federation officially diverged. The spiritual power of heaven and earth is equivalent to the "transformation medicine" for martial artists.

Is it to adopt spiritual inspiration to nourish the body in order to seek physical life; or to integrate the appearance of heaven and earth to evolve the strongest domain of law; or to simply nourish one's own divinity in order to seek divine transformation.

Warriors must make a choice among them.

The essence of it is that it is difficult for a wandering warrior to grasp enough inspiration.

First, inspiration is hard to find.

Second, the inspiration that the physical body can absorb is ultimately limited.

The human body is like a canvas, and inspiration is the paint. What kind of magnificent painting one wants to paint and what one can paint depends not only on the painting skills of the warrior, but also on whether there is enough paint to dye the canvas.

But Ji Jingqiu is different. Theoretically, the inspiration he can contain will set a new record in the Federation.

Moreover, this place is not the location of the Federation of the Great Universe, but is rumored to be the supreme inheritance road of an entire old universe. Even though it has long been dilapidated, it still contains extraordinary good fortune.

Therefore, Ji Jingqiu will try multiple transformation paths simultaneously.

Ji Jingqiu was also prepared to make another attempt when he broke through the barrier of the Divine Wandering Realm.

He wants to open the divine treasure in the true realm!

The method of divine hiding comes from the secret hiding of the Hela civilization. During this period, Ji Jingqiu "asked humbly" and got a few words from La Jiang.

If he could open the first level of the divine treasure in the true seed realm, he would go a hundred steps further.

But this step is very difficult, and it was only after seeing the opportunity that Dachi Tiangong found for him that he made up his mind to give it a try.

The plane where he first descended was not big, and he soon arrived at the edge of the plane. In front of him was a vast ocean. Ji Jingqiu stepped on the blue tide and walked into the sea.

Before leaving, he suddenly felt something and looked back.

The dilapidated buildings on the horizon behind were even smaller and blurry at this moment, but Ji Jingqiu had a vague feeling of being spied on, which was a very uncomfortable feeling.

He frowned, and legal runes appeared in his eyes. He opened the [Bodhi Wisdom Eye] and could see some places clearly even though they were dozens of miles away.

Then, his expression became serious.

He vaguely saw some blurry shadows standing among the buildings, looking towards him from afar.

He glanced around and clearly remembered that some warriors had walked towards the direction of the building complex before, wanting to see if there were any opportunities in this plane, but at this moment he did not see any figures, as if they had been "swallowed up".

Is it a hidden danger?

Ji Jingqiu was unsure.

There is no shortage of opportunities and fortune on the ancient road, but there are naturally equal risks.

For those who entered the ancient road throughout the ages, it was considered good if one quarter of them could eventually get out.

But the surface of this seat...gave him a weird feeling.

Ji Jingqiu believed in his intuition.

He stood in the tide, frowning and looking back, the sense of crisis in his heart gradually growing.

It seemed that if we stayed any longer, something terrible would happen.

【Leave here.】

Ji Jingqiu was shocked. It was Lajiang who spoke first.

Ever since this guy started to act aloof, he hardly ever spoke on his own initiative, and it was always me who tried to contact him. I didn't expect that he would warn him at this moment.

"What's here?" Ji Jingqiu asked in his heart as he stepped one foot from his heart into the depths of the sea.

[This place has been eroded by the spiritual ocean, forming a preliminary 'virtual disaster']

Ji Jingqiu's expression changed slightly. He turned around and left without hesitation.

The so-called "virtual disaster" refers to the power of the ocean of the mind penetrating into the real world, where the illusion of the mind merges with the real material world and becomes distorted.

This can be often encountered on the Heavenly Road. Even if a mind-type warrior encounters it, he can only protect himself, because this thing is not a concrete monster, but a weirdness similar to rules. Only a celestial warrior can suppress it with a human body.

In fact, this is also one of the main reasons why all civilized forces fear the Mind Ocean. As long as the Mind Ocean still exists, virtual disasters may occur in any place.

The reason why the rear of the Federation is stable is all thanks to the four gods and gods who are stationed in the Abyss Area.

The warriors who had gone in that direction before were most likely dead.

Ji Jingqiu was not prepared to try whether his dojo prototype could suppress it, so he turned around and left without any regrets.

This ancient road has been infested.

Ji Jingqiu's heart moved, and he asked, "In your eyes, what kind of existence is the spiritual ocean?"

Previously, he had always believed that the four demons including Hela were strange beings born in the ocean of the mind, but now it seems that this statement is obviously wrong.

But this time, Lajiang didn't respond to him.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, walked into the depths of the sea, and entered the boundary river.

It is called the Boundary River, but in reality it is no different from the vast ocean.

Ji Jingqiu followed the coordinates and passed by countless bizarre scenery along the way.

He did not stay for too long, but quickened his pace and moved forward.

Suddenly, a ethereal and powerful whale cry came from the front, and a shadow from above enveloped him.

He looked up and saw a huge whale-like creature slowly passing over his head above the boundary river, casting an overwhelming shadow.

Ji Jingqiu stopped and followed the giant whale. It seemed to be moving slowly, but it was actually very fast and would soon disappear from his sight.

After a pause.

Ji Jingqiu set out on his journey again.

After arriving at the location of the coordinates, he entered a colorful bubble and entered the plane behind the coordinates.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

Compared with the previous plane, this plane of world is obviously more "vital". There are large areas of lush green vegetation under your feet, full of vitality. In the distance, there are large tracts of lush forests, like a green ocean.

"There are actually substances similar to divine essence in the air." Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath, his eyes lit up, and he knew that he had come to the right place. This was the best direction for him to break through his trance.

He looked into the distance, found the right direction, and rushed forward.

Soon, a tribe appeared in front of him. He stood in the distance and observed for a moment. The people living there were the same as described in the Nine Palaces Records, with large areas of magic patterns on their skin.

This tribe is called "Void Demons" and was once subdued by powerful men in the history of Jiugong, who asked them to guard a certain opportunity here.

After confirming that he was in the right place and with the right people, Ji Jingqiu no longer hesitated and walked forward. He was soon discovered by the people of the tribe, who blew the horn to prepare for battle.

Ji Jingqiu was not flustered. He took out the identity token he got from Jiugong and held it high.

Soon, an old man of the tribe seemed to recognize the token, raised his hands, and said something loudly to the tribesmen.

Ji Jingqiu observed this ethnic group and found that there were more than a dozen warriors in the Divine Wandering Realm. He looked solemn. The strength of this ethnic group... was much stronger than what was described in the palace records!

The last time the ancient road was opened was hundreds of years later. Is this the transformation they have achieved in these hundreds of years?
A question mark of caution appeared in Ji Jingqiu's mind.

Soon, the old man strode forward and respectfully invited him in.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at the warriors who had already put away their weapons and were standing on both sides, but there was still hostility in their eyes.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Ji Jingqiu saw madness in these people’s eyes.

He suddenly said, "No, I'm in a hurry. Take me directly to the 'Spirit Nourishing Pond'."

The old man paused for a moment and said, "Dear sir, please give us the opportunity to entertain you."

They were communicating through telepathy, and as soon as Ji Jingqiu came into contact with the old man's mental will, his face froze slightly.

Beneath the other person's extremely peaceful soul, there is a hint of madness hidden, just like a deep and tranquil lake whose surface is calm but underneath there is a surging undercurrent.

The other party was hiding very deeply, but he had already calmed down his mind and was at a higher level than the other party, so he easily noticed the abnormality.

Ji Jingqiu looked at the old man deeply, and his tone suddenly turned cold: "I said, take me directly to the spiritual pool."

Under Ji Jingqiu's perception, the old man's spiritual lake suddenly rioted for a moment, but was quickly suppressed by him.

This made Ji Jingqiu confirm that there was indeed something wrong with these guys.

Is it a betrayal?

According to records, Senior Jiugong saved their lives and did not treat them harshly. He just asked them to guard the good fortune here.

Is it... a change in time?
Ji Jingqiu was not very sure, the other party's mental state seemed to be a little abnormal.

He suddenly made a move, and when the old man was hesitating and struggling, his lungs seemed to contain thunder, and guided by the power of telepathy, a grand syllable came out, carrying a great sense of purity and Zen.

Meditation Seal!
The old man's expression suddenly changed; struggle, despair, madness, confusion, pain...all kinds of emotions were shown on his face.

Then, in an instant, I found a moment of clarity.

"My lord, run!"

A shrill sound came out of his mouth.

In an instant, an almost demonic roar was heard, and the demons not far away suddenly rushed over, their faces revealing madness.

It seemed as if all their rationality had been swallowed up by some force and disappeared, turning them into a group of irrational beasts.

Ji Jingqiu pushed away the old man who was struggling in front of him.

A dozen wandering warriors might be a nuisance to other warriors who have not yet broken through, but to him, it is just a bit tricky.

What's more, there are obvious fatal flaws in the state of this group of people.

Ji Jingqiu formed seals with his hands and tried to fuse the [Heart Flame All-Seeing Lamp] with the meditation seal for the first time. In just a moment, the many demons who rushed over seemed to have met their natural enemies. They let out fearful roars, and then fell to the ground powerlessly, shaking all over.

Seeing this scene, Ji Jingqiu became more certain that this group of people were controlled and influenced by some kind of mental power.

While many demon descendants were busy with their own affairs, he mentioned the old man beside him, infused him with a ray of great purity, and asked:
"What happened to your tribe?"

The old man's face looked struggling and painful, and even with Ji Jingqiu's great purity, his face still occasionally showed ferocity and madness.

Ji Jingqiu frowned. The other party's condition was worse than he thought.

At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly rose from the depths of the tribe, accompanied by a hint of murderous intent that made Ji Jingqiu feel a chill down his spine.

A skinny figure quietly emerged, with a deep breath. In an instant, he came in front of Ji Jingqiu and chopped him down with a palm.

Feeling the power of heaven and earth brought by this palm, Ji Jingqiu drew his sword without hesitation, and the energy in his body merged into one, and he slashed out with the sword [All Laws Are Empty]!
This is a warrior in the Shackles Realm whose qi and blood are burning!
When the palm and the knife collided, there was a sound of metal clashing, and only a blood mark appeared on the opponent's palm.

As soon as the fight started, Ji Jingqiu no longer held back and blasted out several meditation seals in succession, causing the attacking warrior in the Shackles Realm to tremble. A look of struggle emerged in his dark pupils, but he was suppressed for a short time!
Seeing this struggle, Ji Jingqiu's heart moved, and a "wick" appeared at his fingertips, which directly slapped into the other person's body.

For an instant.

A shrill scream came from the body of this warrior in the Shackles Realm.

Ji Jingqiu raised his head and looked deep into the tribe.

There, there were also wailing sounds.
