Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 213: The Hanging Holy Land, the Origin of "Buddha"

Jiang Tunhai subconsciously wanted to take a step back, thinking that he had been the first to enter and was suspected of being a shield for Yue Huansha.

After seeing the luxurious "lineup" in the hall, he suspected that this was a Hongmen Banquet.

The four forbidden men, plus Ji Jingqiu, who had long been heard of but never seen, surrounded and killed the two of them. There was at least a 70% to 80% chance that they would be kept here forever!

After a brief moment of shock, Yue Huansha stepped into the hall and passed by him while transmitting the message:
"You're overthinking it. Judging from this conversation, Ji Jingqiu is most likely still traveling on the ancient road."

Jiang Tunhai was speechless. Although he had a bold personality, he knew that it was better to be safe than sorry. Moreover...

Just because of this sentence "You think too much", you and I are the same kind of people!

Jiang Tunhai followed behind and walked into the hall.

There are also differences in taboos. Although there is still mist at the taboo threshold on the ancient road, it is still weaker than outside.

Ji Jingqiu is not here. Although Senluo and the others are also in the forbidden sequence, when it comes to overall transformation, the four of them are far inferior to them. If a real fight breaks out, he and Yue Huansha can join forces and fight and retreat.

As the two important allies entered the meeting hall, Senluo and his men calmed down and took their seats one by one. Jiang Tunhai looked at Senluo and his men and was about to speak to confirm his guess when he heard Yue Huansha speak first:

"I just heard the name of the Four Gods Church at the door. The warrior who broke through the neutral city where the Four Gods Church is located not long ago is Brother Ji Jingqiu?"

Jiang Tunhai was shocked. Was that man Ji Jingqiu? Didn't he go to travel the ancient road? Why did he destroy someone else's nest?
Sen Luo did not deny it, but said with great sorrow: "My elder brother is usually kind and sincere to others. I never thought that just traveling in the ancient road would bring him a fatal disaster. He simply does not take our Sun Moon Alliance seriously. This time, I invited the two of you to discuss the matter of unifying the ancient roads."

Yue, Jiang: "..."

It sounded as if Ji Jingqiu was wronged. If they had not received the intelligence in advance, they would have probably been misled.

Even if we take a backseat and say that your eldest brother has broken through other people's territory, what is the causal relationship between this and your desire to unify the ancient road?
"Brother Mori, are you talking about the Unified Ancient Road?"

Yue Huansha looked at Sen Luo deeply, and her beautiful eyes moved over Yang Qu and the others, with a brilliant look, and she said with her lips slightly parted,
"It seems that we are not wrong. Brother Feng and his companions should have broken through to the forbidden sequence."

Feng Wu nodded and looked at Jiang Tunhai. He and Jiang Tunhai had met several times before and they were the leaders of the younger generation of their respective forces.

At this moment, Feng Wu went straight to the point and said:
"Brother Jiang, since we chose you, we naturally chose to be the enemy of the Celestial Gods. I hope you won't let us down."

Jiang Tunhai said meaningfully: "This relationship cannot be calculated in this way. Brother Feng doesn't know that even if you don't intend to be enemies with the Celestial God Clan, the Celestial God Clan has no intention of letting Brother Ji Jingqiu go."

Feng Wu said calmly, "I have never heard of this. When did my great-grandmaster offend the Celestial God Clan?"

Jiang Tunhai shrugged and said:
"Let's be frank. I have no objection to the Sun-Moon Alliance wanting to unify the Ancient Road. We just need to sign contracts and discuss the division of interests."

"The other is the Celestial Clan. In addition to Saha, there is also a female Taboo in the Celestial Clan. Her strength is unpredictable, at least I can't see through it. She is very hostile to Brother Ji Jingqiu. I took the initiative to seek an alliance with you because I accidentally learned that this person was sending people to collect information about Ji Jingqiu."

Feng Wu frowned slightly. He had not heard that Great-Master Ji had ever offended the Celestial God Clan, but the Great Red Sky lineage had had conflicts with the Celestial God Clan. Could this be the connection?
Soon, Feng Wu's brows relaxed, and he said in a cold voice: "That's perfect. After we finish dealing with the Tianluo Palace, we'll deal with the Tianshen Clan."

Jiang Tunhai said without hesitation: "As long as you are the enemy of the Celestial God Clan, the Hunting God Alliance will stand by your side."

Yue Huansha also expressed her demands: "The enemy of the Moon Palace is the Nether Palace. In addition, we have formed an alliance with the Kingdom of Eternal Night."

Sen Luo and Zi Rixin looked at each other. The current situation was similar to what they had deduced before.

The pattern of the ancient road is still affected by the outside world, and the countless years of "love-hate entanglement" between the major forces have also affected the younger generation.

Since they chose the Moon Palace and the Hunting God Alliance as their allies, there will inevitably be certain forces standing against them.

"Brother Ji hasn't returned yet?" Jiang Tunhai suddenly asked, "I want to meet him before conquering the ancient road."

Sen Luo said: "There will be a chance in the future. Today we have reached a preliminary consensus, and there are still many details to be confirmed. In the meantime, the Sun Moon Alliance will first deal with the Tianluo Palace, which can be regarded as the 'ribbon cutting'."

Jiang Tunhai chuckled and said, "Take me with you. I am very interested in the body-refining magical power of the Southern Wasteland Continent."

Master Zhong Nanzhu of Tianluo Palace was once defeated by Ji Jingqiu. Perhaps he could judge the difference in strength between himself and Ji Jingqiu through the fight with Master Zhong Nanzhu.

……

……

Entering the Dongxuan plane, the architectural style of the civilization here is close to that of the Federation. Ji Jingqiu habitually sneaks in low-key without alerting the guards and enters deep into the Yanhuang Alliance’s base.

The main reason was that he didn't see anyone familiar along the way.

He strolled through the city, stepped into the tallest building, and was unexpectedly discovered in front of a door deep inside.

"Who is outside the door, please come in and have a chat."

A calm voice came from inside the house.

Ji Jingqiu was curious, who was inside the door, and how could he detect his arrival? This alone was very impressive.

He pushed the door open and saw a tall young man standing in the room. He had a handsome face and a calm expression. The most eye-catching thing was his eyes, which were calm and deep, like a deep pool.

"Ji Jingqiu?"

Ji Jingqiu didn't recognize this person, but this person recognized him. He stood up in surprise and said with a smile,
"I was wondering which powerful person sneaked into the city quietly, it turned out to be you! We sent people to the Sun and Moon Alliance to look for you, but you were in seclusion at first, and then we heard that you went out to travel."

After that, he introduced himself: "I am Ji Anquan, you should have heard of me from my cousin Ji Anyu."

Ji Jingqiu understood immediately. This person also asked someone to bring him a message related to the successor of the Holy King lineage.

He looked at the heir of the Ji family, and for a moment it was as if he was looking at someone through a layer of mist, an indescribable feeling.

This feeling was very special. None of the other forbidden sequences he had seen along the way had ever given him such a feeling.

Ji Anquan was also looking at Ji Jingqiu, his heart in turmoil.

Although they had never met in the Federation, Ji Anquan had seen Ji Jingqiu through images. The last scene was Ji Jingqiu looking back when he reached the top of Baiyujing. The sharpness in that look was enough to be remembered vividly.

Compared to that time, Ji Jingqiu's edge seemed to be restrained, but the potential invincible "momentum" became more condensed and profound.

This kind of force can only be sensed by warriors who are close to it. Once it erupts, it is like a dormant dragon breaking out of the abyss and able to soar up to the sky.

Ji Anquan invited Ji Jingqiu to take a seat. Ji Jingqiu was also particularly interested in this descendant and successor of Ji Shuai.

In a sense, this guy has something in common with him, being a direct descendant of the Seventh Marshal.

The descendants of the other families are more or less inferior, and there is a level of separation between them.

The two sat down and talked, and Ji Jingqiu asked about the latest situation of the federal warriors.

"They have teamed up to explore a group of plane ruins. They are not at home for the time being, leaving me alone to guard the house."

Ji Anquan smiled and pointed out that the warriors he was familiar with were not in the city at the moment. They were all traveling on the ancient roads, looking for opportunities and honing themselves.

"I don't like to travel far. I usually stay in the city to look after the house and read ancient books. As for the current situation here..."

He looked regretful and said, "The ancient road is too big. Although we have been trying our best to gather and search, we have only gathered half of the hundreds of people who came in."

Ji Jingqiu nodded. This ancient road was indeed too vast. Some planes were as small as a house, while others were as big as a planet. If one really wanted to explore it, there would be no end.

From Ji Anquan, Ji Jingqiu learned that among the people he knew, Yue Yourong, Yin Wushuang and others had all arrived and were currently exploring and traveling outside. Only Shi Xin'an and Diao Xingyun were missing.

Ji Jingqiu had a deep impression of the girl in red.

The other party had mastered the power of law before her Tao body was fully developed. Ji Jingqiu always felt that her potential was probably even higher than that of Yin Wushuang and others, but she was limited by her innate defects.

However, he gave [Knife and Axe] to Shi Xin'an last time, and he didn't know whether the girl could achieve the transformation.

In addition, among the three strongest people in this generation of the Federation besides him, Ke Pingluan has not yet joined the team, and no one knows where he is honing his skills on the ancient road.

Among the crowd, most had already broken through the state of spiritual wandering, with Qin Qingjue being the exception.

The daughter of the Qin family was very hardworking. She finally stepped into the Forbidden Sequence half a month ago, which vindicated the golden generation of the Federation. She entered the Forbidden Sequence on her own.

"She was very stubborn and insisted on trying to break through the forbidden sequence. The final breakthrough was also full of dangers. Fortunately, the Qin family's inheritance followed the will of heaven and had its own mysteries. Although she paid a price, she finally passed the last level with difficulty."

Ji Anquan sighed, still a little frightened, and finally shook his head.
"Although she has proven her potential, it will be difficult for her to catch up with you guys. She is now out sharpening her knives."

Ji Jingqiu nodded. It had been nearly four months since the ancient road was opened, and he had just entered the divine journey. Even if he had no shortage of transformation resources, it would be difficult to catch up with the group of people in front.

Then he asked about Ji Anquan's situation.

“Me? I broke through the state of trance on the first day I entered the ancient road, and am currently working on nurturing divine awareness.” Ji Anquan said very directly.

Ji Jingqiu was somewhat surprised to learn that Ji Anquan was already working on nurturing divine awareness and realizing the changes in divinity.

This speed was somewhat astonishing, faster than his own, which meant that after stepping onto the ancient road, Ji Anquan had hardly attempted to make further progress in the True Seed Realm.

"I will be in charge of the alliance, so the resources collected by the alliance in the early stage will be concentrated on me first. In addition, my requirements for spiritual inspiration are not as extreme as yours, Jingqiu. For me, as long as the spiritual inspiration is of the highest quality, it will be fine."

Ji Anquan called him Jingqiu very naturally, considering his cousin Ji Anyu's status.

"Strictly speaking, the path I take is different from yours. I am committed to focusing on exploring the wonders of divinity, and I am not too demanding in other areas."

Ji Anquan admitted that he did not hide anything and selectively disclosed his own path.

Through previous exchanges, in his eyes, Ji Jingqiu's exploration in various fields was too harsh. What he pursued was not the extreme, but something beyond the extreme.

What he revealed reminded Ji Jingqiu of Ji Shuai's exploration of divinity in the past.

Ji Anquan was practicing the [Heaven and Man Chessing Sword Diagram]. Could it be that this visualization diagram was about the mysterious divinity?
Among all the superior visualization diagrams in the Federation, the [Heaven and Man Chessing with Swords Diagram] ranks first.

In terms of mystery, [The Picture of Heaven and Man Chessing with Swords] is even more mysterious than [The Buddha's Prison in Fire House].

【Fire House Buddha Prison】At least someone has managed to practice it, but no one can understand its spirit. However, the former is a pure mystery. Ji Anquan is the first one after Ji Shuai to practice it in ten thousand years.

Ji Jingqiu had just received guidance from La Jiang not long ago, and now he immediately became interested.

There have been differences in martial arts since the state of spiritual wandering. Ji Anquan obviously took the path of nourishing the spirit and devoted himself to pursuing the cultivation of his own pure divinity.

He immediately asked Ji Anquan about the mystery of divinity. The latter did not hide anything and gave examples that did not involve the content inherited by the Ji family.

Ji Anquan did not forget that the ancestor enshrined in the ancestral temple asked him to be on good terms with Ji Jingqiu.

After listening to Ji Anquan's explanation, Ji Jingqiu seemed to be lost in thought. After listening to La Jiang's guidance, he had also tried to comprehend the mystery of divinity these days, but gained very little.

The "vastness" of divinity is far beyond imagination, just like an ordinary person who goes to the sea for the first time and wants to catch a fish with bare hands in the vast ocean. It is extremely difficult. Ji Anquan seemed to remember something and suddenly whispered:
"Jingqiu, since you are here, there is an opportunity you may want to fight for. Somewhere along the ancient road, a Bodhi tree that looks like the one mentioned in ancient books appeared. This news has been blocked by us and several surrounding forces, and we are preparing to digest it internally. If you are interested, you can go and fight for it."

Ji Jingqiu's aura suddenly rose, and he stared at Ji Anquan with sharp eyes:
"Are you sure you mean the Bodhi tree?"

Ji Anquan nodded: "It is very similar to the image in the ancient books, and it is located in the ruins of an ancient temple. There is reason to suspect that it is the legendary Bodhi tree."

Finally, he added: "This kind of divine plant in ancient mythology can be found in places like Youhai. Our Ji family has a Daoxuan tea tree, which is similar to the enlightenment tree in mythology. It was transplanted from a certain cosmic plane connected to Youhai in the early years."

Ji Jingqiu was shocked. Is it really the Bodhi tree?

He didn't dare to believe it until he saw it with his own eyes, and he couldn't be sure it was related to his own Bodhi tree.

As for the Ji family's Daoxuan tea, he had tasted it, and Ji Anyu had sent him some before.

This kind of magical plant has already surpassed the category of major medicine and heavenly medicine.

If there really is a Bodhi tree, unless it is an ordinary object, its grade will not be lower than Daoxuan, so he thinks it is most likely fake.

"Where is it?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

Intuitively, he felt that this was unreliable. Even if there was a Bodhi tree, it was not the same as his Bodhi tree. However, he still had to verify it with his own eyes.

At the same time, he asked Hela in his mind what she thought.

"Do you want to go? It just so happens that Yue Yourong and the others are training on that plane." Ji Anquan said solemnly, "That plane is very extraordinary. It is the site of the ruins of a holy land. It is extremely dangerous inside. Be careful if you want to go there."

Ji Jingqiu frowned and said, "Sacred Land Ruins? This episode is open so early?"

The ancient road is divided into two stages. The first stage is the period when warriors hone themselves. In the later stage of this stage, some extremely special planes located deep in the ancient road will open up, providing warriors with the final sprint.

These places are called "holy places". According to research, they are the remains of the ancient Taoist traditions of the Jiuzhou universe in the past, and they contain many opportunities.

There have been genius warriors who comprehended great supernatural powers, or even the incomplete forms of the most powerful supernatural powers, in these holy places. This is not an isolated case; these were once the laws of the Jiuzhou Universe.

The danger level of this kind of holy land is not comparable to the planes that Ji Jingqiu has passed through along the way.

There is no shortage of crises of real mental level.

"We are also puzzled and are exploring deeper. We have confirmed that this holy place is not a special case. The holy places deep in the ancient road are gradually opening up. It is expected to be fully open in three months, which is much earlier than in the past. I wonder if the second phase will also come earlier."

Ji Anquan whispered,

"I'll have someone bring you a map. When do you plan to leave?"

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "I'll just leave later."

Since Yue Yourong and others were not there, he had no intention of staying any longer and prepared to hit the road directly.

While people are preparing.

Ji Anquan asked: "If I'm not mistaken, Jingqiu, you should have obtained the Daoist Canon that He Shuai left on the East 3 Huang Star, right? That's why you want to take the East 3 Huang Star under your name."

Ji Jingqiu did not hide it and nodded.

There was no need to conceal this matter. The fact that he did not take the federal route to enter the ancient road meant that the matter must have been exposed.

I just don't know how the Dojo negotiated with the federal officials during this period, and how the Great Red Palace negotiated with the federal government. With Aunt Mu in charge, there shouldn't be any conflicts...

Seeing Ji Jingqiu admit it so frankly, Ji Anquan smiled and said, "The Sun-Moon Alliance you formed is quite powerful. We all wanted to join you collectively before, but then we discussed it for a while and decided to make a name for ourselves, so we didn't go."

Ji Jingqiu also smiled and said, "I am a Buddhist who integrates forces to collect resources and information. I don't really care about things. I usually leave it to a few friends to take care of. I will introduce them to you later."

Ji Anquan nodded and said, "Okay! We have managed to gain a foothold, but we have as many enemies as allies around us, and they are always thinking about annexing us."

"What forces are they?" Ji Jingqiu asked. He didn't mind getting lost along the way and accidentally stumbling into a treasure house.

"We can still resist other forces, but there is a group called Huangtian Alliance that you need to pay attention to. This alliance does not operate openly, but according to my investigation, it includes at least four forbidden forces and has the ambition to unify the ancient road. There is a high probability that you will meet their people when you go to the Hanging Holy Land this time." Ji Anquan said.

"Unify the ancient roads?" Ji Jingqiu was surprised and nodded, "That's indeed a huge ambition. I didn't even dare to think about it."

After getting the map, Ji Jingqiu said goodbye and left in a hurry.

Ji Anquan personally saw him off and stood there for a long time, watching his departing back.

……

……

On the way, Ji Jingqiu asked Lajiang in the inner world about his opinion on the rumors about the holy Hanging Temple and the Bodhi tree.

Hela asked him several questions directly:

[Do you think that your lineage is the only 'Buddha' in the universe and all the secondary universes? Before Mu Shitian, was there no Buddha lineage in this world? But why is your lineage called the lineage of the World Honored One? ]

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

[The reason is very simple. Mu Shitian won in the past and reached the end of this road, so your lineage was given the title of World Honored One, and even took away the title of 'Holy King' from the Holy Light lineage.]

[As for this Bodhi tree... I am also looking forward to the day when you can figure out what secrets this Bodhi tree holds.]

Ji Jingqiu didn't expect there to be such a saying.

It seems that the lineage of the World Honored One is not just a name used within the Federation?!
So this trip to the Hanging Temple, isn’t it like going home again?
The great young Buddha descended upon his faithful Hanging Temple for the first time...

But I didn’t expect that even Hela didn’t know the roots of her own Bodhi tree.

This was somewhat beyond Ji Jingqiu's expectations. He had actually asked before, but Hila didn't answer. He originally thought that Hila didn't want to tell him that feelings were unclear...

Ji Jingqiu's heart was slightly disturbed.

The Bodhi tree in our own garden is obviously not comparable to any natural or magical medicine. It absolutely transcends the concept of "medicine" and is more like the manifestation of some kind of Tao principle.

Especially the existence of the wisdom light. Ji Jingqiu had previously deduced that the status of the wisdom light was even higher than the black fog of the dark sea, which was even incomparable to the clear light of the bodhi tree.

“I hope this trip to the Hanging Holy Land will yield some results.”

When Ji Jingqiu arrived at the plane where the coordinates were located, he saw that the entrance to the plane was heavily guarded. He couldn't help but sigh that the confidentiality work here was indeed very good. He had never heard of any news of the holy land opening ahead of schedule along the way.

However, exploring the holy land at this stage has both advantages and disadvantages.

Looking at the heavy troops in front of him, Ji Jingqiu did not hide his body. It was unrealistic to sneak in quietly in this situation.

He walked straight forward and announced his identity as a member of the Yanhuang Alliance.

According to the agreement between all parties, warriors of the Yanhuang Alliance are qualified to explore the holy land.

But as expected, Ji Jingqiu was blocked.

The warrior guarding the gate looked obviously different when he heard him introduce himself. He told him coldly to leave quickly, saying that the place had been occupied by them and he could not come here.

Something happened?
Ji Jingqiu frowned slightly and did not try to reason with him. The truth was only in his fists, so he raised his hand calmly.

Seeing that he was about to take action, the warrior guarding the gate was already prepared and shouted: "How dare you make trouble..."

Before he uttered the third word, Ji Jingqiu had already penetrated his defenses and, in his horrified gaze, reached out and grabbed his neck.

Everyone was shocked. A strong man came and subdued their leader with one move. Someone immediately tried to rescue them.

All I could hear was the sound of the sea tide. Ji Jingqiu did not move, but the person who made the move had a changed expression, as if the whole world was shaking at this moment.

They saw a deep ocean materialize in the void behind Ji Jingqiu, with undercurrents surging inside like a whirlpool, suppressing everything with a rumbling sound like thunder.

For a moment, everyone felt like they were carrying a mountain on their backs, with huge pressure on their shoulders, making it impossible to move.

Just a domain of law was enough to suppress them... Is this a young supreme being coming? !

Where did the second young supreme of the Yanhuang Alliance come from?
"Misunderstanding! There is a misunderstanding here!"

The warrior whose neck was grabbed by Ji Jingqiu turned pale and shouted hurriedly.

Ji Jingqiu looked calm and whispered, "I'm going to kill my way in from the entrance."

Hearing these words, the warrior who was held by him with one hand felt a chill in his heart. Such an unscrupulous young supreme being, no one could restrain him unless a battle formation was assembled.

Ji Jingqiu ignored the pleas of the warrior in his hand and carried him all the way to the gate. The warriors along the way had already been suppressed by the Shuiyue Dharma Domain and were unable to move and resist.

After stepping through the portal and entering the Suspended Holy Land, Ji Jingqiu said calmly: "Tell me what the situation is now. Just a reminder, your mental fluctuations are all under my control."

……

The suspended holy land, deep inside.

Deep in a huge swamp, fog covered the sky and was so thick that even sunlight could not penetrate.

An altar was built who knows how many years ago, and many parts have long been in ruins, but now someone is repairing it. Even though eternity has passed, one can still vaguely see various patterns carved on the altar, from all spirits to gods and Buddhas, from a speck of dust to the vast universe.

These traces are very ancient, as if they have run through the long river of time.

"How long will it take?" In the fog, several figures confronted each other.

"It will take at least ten days." Someone said coldly, "Also, after the repairs are completed, sacrifices will be needed. Are you ready?"

"The Heavenly Medicine is too precious. We are going to use warriors from other forces as sacrifices." Someone answered calmly, but the words were cold. "Last month, a Forbidden Sequence appeared in the Yanhuang Alliance. He is still very 'immature' and has not yet grown up. In addition, a quasi-forbidden sequence from the Kingdom of Eternal Night has also arrived. He is just right for use as a sacrifice."

Some people frowned, but soon relaxed their brows, because the whole plant of heavenly medicine was indeed too precious. If it were in the outside world, even if they had a distinguished family background and extraordinary talent, it would be impossible for them to obtain it at the current stage.

"Don't delay the progress." Someone reminded, "If we open the altar, we can connect with the existence behind Mr. Mu and learn how to open the inheritance site of the Hanging Holy Land."

"It's a pity that Mr. Mu has disappeared." Someone among them whispered, "If he were here, with his guidance, activating the altar wouldn't require such a huge cost."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Mr. Mu has been robbed." Someone sighed, "It is most likely that Ji Jingqiu did it. He has a grudge against the Four Gods Church, and Mr. Mu was very close to the Four Gods Church before and was cooperating with them."

The fog was rolling and everyone stopped talking. One could only vaguely hear someone whispering the three words "Ji Jingqiu".
