Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 233: The First of All Time
Spirit world.

"At least in the top three..." someone murmured, looking at Gu Tatian and Qi Yunfei.

Before, Gu Tatian had already mentioned the top three, which caused everyone to secretly mock him, but no one expected that this guy would actually make it into the top three.

And he defeated Ming Miaoyin who was in the Shenyou realm with such a strong attitude!

Now that He Donghuang, who was in second place, is “not here”, doesn’t that mean there is only one person left standing in the way? !

The one who won in the end, Ning Mingsheng, would be number one on the Eternal Monument, looking down on all the young people in Jiuzhou throughout the ages!

Someone whispered, "In the past, it was shown that Miaoyin had the determination to cross the boundary between heaven and man. Now that Ji Jingqiu can fight her, doesn't it mean that another forbidden god will appear in the future?"

The boundary between heaven and man is also known as the boundary between gods and men.

The gap between the mind and heaven is even greater than the gap between the body and the mind.

This is why celestial warriors can enter the upper realms no matter what force they belong to.

Once you pass this stage, your mind will be boundless, the Dharma will be immeasurable, and the heaven and earth will be endless.

No matter which world they are placed in, they are similar to the existence of immortals and Buddhas.

As for Ji Jingqiu and Ming Miaoyin, even if they had no other breakthroughs in the shackles and the mind state, and just recited the script and reached the mind state in an ordinary way, they still had the qualifications to step into the "God's Forbidden Land" and break the boundary between gods and humans!
That is to cross the border and challenge the gods!
This almost impossible challenge is the best compliment to their achievements.

Even the two people mentioned above have the strength to suppress those in the late stage of shackles and compete with ordinary mind-phase warriors.

Someone sighed and said, "Is the forbidden realm of the gods important to Ji Jingqiu? Ordinary people may be stuck at the boundary between heaven and man for hundreds or even thousands of years, but this boy has already mastered the Dao field of heaven and earth. For him, it won't be long before he enters the realm of heaven and man. "

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

That's true.

Today, this boy relies on the Tiandi Daochang to dominate the arena in the top ten of the Eternal Monument.

In the future, I will still rely on the Heaven and Earth Dojo to easily step into the boundary between heaven and man that others dream of.

This is the most outstanding genius in ten thousand years.

"Does this boy really have a hope of reaching the top of the Eternal Monument?" Some people couldn't help but have this thought after witnessing Ji Jingqiu defeating Ming Miaoyin with such force.

"But how can he win?" Someone said in a low voice, his eyes swept towards Gu Tatian, "I'm afraid Gu Tatian himself doesn't think his nephew can win, right?"

At this moment.

Qi Yunfei was asking Gu Tatian via voice transmission.

"Tatian, what do you think is the chance that Jingqiu can defeat Ning Mingsheng?"

Gu Tatian remained silent for a long time. He frowned and looked at the young man in the water curtain painting, recalling the horror of the last person in his mind.

His original best expectation was that Ji Jingqiu and A He would compete with each other and stage a "battle between master and apprentice".

“Ning Mingsheng… this person is almost a demigod in the divine realm.” Gu Tatian sighed.

……

……

"Junior Brother Ji, I wish you good luck."

Hearing Ming Miaoyin's whispered blessing in his ears, Ji Jingqiu stepped into the next battlefield step by step.

On the ancient road, countless warriors held their breath and watched from Ji Jingqiu's perspective as they saw a grand palace at the end.

The temple is majestic, like the Pantheon of the battle of gods.

Entering this temple is like a pilgrimage.

For the vast majority of people in Jiuzhou, let alone this hall, even being able to see the top ten arenas is witnessing history.

Ji Jingqiu looked calm. At this moment, there were no waves in his heart. He was truly as calm as still water.

If you have the invincible belief that you can conquer the world and the whole world and that you are the only one who is supreme throughout the ages, then no matter who your enemy is, you can look down on him.

He climbed the stairs and entered the empty temple.

Deep in the hall, stood a man in green.

The man stood at the end of the hall. His face could even be called childish. He was a handsome boy, with shyness visible between his delicate brows. Who would have thought that this seemingly weak boy had been standing on the top of the Eternal Monument for more than a million years without changing his position.

Ning Mingsheng.

Jiuzhou is the best in all eternity.

That moment.

Ning Mingsheng looked up and there was lightning in the void, as if his eyes left traces in the air.

This scene startled the warriors who had never seen Ning Mingsheng's style before. With a casual glance, marks appeared in the void. This was almost the level of a god. Every move he made could affect the operation of heaven and earth.

The moment their eyes met, Ji Jingqiu felt that the world around him had disappeared.

In the entire universe, the only thing left was the other person's eyes.

His brain went blank for a moment, as if all his reason, thoughts, and even his soul were forcibly taken away.

In a trance, Ji Jingqiu saw a dazzling divine fetus floating in the void behind the other person.

There was a majestic god bred in it, who opened his eyes at this moment and stared at Ji Jingqiu across the void.

What bright, deep and majestic eyes are those?
Completely different from the boy's simplicity and purity, he is like a latent dragon ascending to the sky, or like a mad dragon emerging from the sea, majestic, indifferent, and self-centered.

Ji Jingqiu regained control of himself in an instant, the legal runes in his eyes flashed rapidly, and his Bodhi Wisdom Eye was stimulated to the extreme.

He wanted to find out the other party's background, especially the fleeting divine fetus.

This person seems to have two sides.

A pure heart, untainted by dust;

One side is almost godlike, immortal and inviolable.

"With a pure heart, light will emerge when all dust is gone..." someone whispered in a low voice, the sound was hard to describe.

As the familiar figure emerged above the water curtain painting, most of the people fell silent, and their eyes looking at the painting became extremely complicated, mostly filled with disgust and hatred, but there was also admiration.

Someone sighed, "It is better to die with a loud voice than to live in silence... This person not only made a stunning debut in the past, but also stood at the top, with the hope of immortality. No one has broken his record so far."

"No matter how talented you are, it's useless if you're on a dead end." Someone said coldly, "Who would have thought that Ning Mingsheng, who was once praised for his pure heart and near-immortal appearance, would actually seek the throne of God, bring about a deadly calamity, fall into the devil's way, and slaughter hundreds of millions of my people in Jiuzhou?!"

As for the vast majority of warriors who were born in the past ten thousand years and have never seen Ning Mingsheng take action, they are more confused and puzzled at this moment.

"Is this the greatest Ning Mingsheng of all time? Since he is able to surpass Ming Miaoyin, could it be that he has already mastered the art of fetal breathing, or has surpassed Yi Tianpeng in terms of physical strength?"

……

"Senior Mu, how magical is this person?" Yao Heshan couldn't help but ask.

Earlier, when Yao Heshan witnessed Ji Jingqiu confronting Ji Shuai head-on, he almost couldn't breathe.

Now, seeing that Ji Jingqiu was about to reach the top of the ancient road, the anxiety and anticipation in his heart were almost bursting out.

Previously, the Federation’s expectation for this generation of young warriors was to enter the top 50 of the Eternal Monument.

This ranking is not made up by guesswork, but is based on the Seven Marshals. In their calculations, the top few people of this generation in the Federation are not much different from the Seven Marshals when they were in the True Seed Realm.

But it turns out that sometimes there is no difference between their heads and their butts.

They overestimated themselves and underestimated coach Hernandez and others.

When Ji Jingqiu stepped into the hall and faced the last person, Yao Heshan and others were shocked to find that although they were celestial beings, they could not see through the person on the water curtain at all.

In their eyes, he was just a harmless and shy boy, even a little shy.

But no one dares to really think so.

Because ten thousand years ago, it was this person who defeated He Shuai who was in the Divine Wandering Realm!
Mu Qing was silent for a long time, and scenes from the past came back to his mind.

In the past, Ah He came from behind and created his own path in the Divine Wandering Realm, laying the foundation for the future, but he was still no match for this man...

Ah He said that if one wants to defeat this person in the Divine Wandering Realm, there is only one possibility, and that is to see one's own path!
[Do you know... a divine transformation? ]

Yao Heshan and others frowned slightly.

Only Lu Tong, a martial arts master, was horrified by this unfamiliar word. He finally understood why his senior brother was always silent and disgusted when he mentioned Ning Mingsheng.

I hate what he did, but I have to remain silent about his achievements.

[It is said that in those long lost days, all living things had spirituality, and the highest spirituality was divinity.]

[When the self-spirituality sublimates and burns to the brightest moment, divinity is born. Generally, the stronger a person's divinity is, the closer he is to the gods and the truth of heaven and earth.]

[It’s just that, divinity is pure, and when it becomes strong enough, you really…]

[Is it still you? ]

[If you want to beat him... Jingqiu has done a great job! ]

……

[This person's divinity is so strong that it is unimaginable. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is unprecedented in history. If it were not for his weak body and low spirit, it would be no problem to say that he is a demigod. ]

Hela's voice sounded softly, and she didn't seem to have expected that Ji Jingqiu would go this far.

[What you are facing now is the last anomaly born after the last rays of the Imperial Universe burned out.]

[He was born to inherit the will of the Emperor of Heaven and all spirits, to ascend to the immortal throne, to achieve the supreme power, and to lead the entire Emperor of Heaven to transcend together.]

[Of course, this is just a dream. ]

When saying this, Hela in the inner world tilted her head slightly, with an arc at the corner of her mouth, as if she was smiling, but there was a kind of chilling sneer in her smile.

At this moment, she opened her thin lips slightly:

[I have an interesting story to share with you. Ten thousand years ago, the people of Jiuzhou all said that Ning Mingsheng betrayed all the races of Jiuzhou, but this person was born to carry on the will of the Emperor of Heaven and is the Lord of the Emperor of Heaven.]

[And how many emperors are there in Jiuzhou today? ]

[In his eyes, what is the difference between the people of the Nine Continents today and the sentient beings of the Three Thousand Jambuvipas? ]

[But they can all be killed. ]

Ji Jingqiu stared ahead.

At this moment, Ning Mingsheng stood in the Pantheon, looking at him straight in the eye. Behind his gentle eyes was the indifference of a god.

"you are wrong."

Ji Jingqiu took a step forward and took the lead.

This move touched the hearts of countless viewers, and made the strong men in the spirit world jump in their hearts. This boy actually wanted to take the initiative to attack? !

Even if we are not in the same boat, we still want to praise your unparalleled spirit!
Ji Jingqiu responded to Hela calmly in his heart:
"From what Gu Lu's will said, we can conclude that the Imperial Heaven and the universe are of the same origin and have the same lineage. Gu Lu's will does not agree with what Ning Mingsheng did later."

[Hehe, it's just a trace of residual knowledge from the powerful. Can it be compared with the will of the gods and spirits? ]

"Legacy? What is the legacy of all spirits? Is this really the legacy of all spirits?"

Ji Jingqiu asked back, at this moment there was no joy or sorrow, his mind was like a diamond, able to cut through everything in the world.

The strong and indifferent side he showed at this moment made Hela feel annoyed. Even if what she said was indeed mixed with selfish motives and was deliberately misleading him, how dare he treat her in this way? !
But before Hela could fight back, she was horrified by the scene before her.

I saw that the vast and boundless sea of ​​suffering hanging upside down above the sky suddenly surged up at this moment, raising layers of raging waves, as if it was going to break through the limitations of the projection!
The sky was filled with blood rain, which became more and more heavy, pouring down, and the meaning of the eight sufferings filled the heaven and earth.

Only this pure land remains sacred and inviolable.

that moment.

Hela seemed to see a green light.

In that boundless ocean filled with pain and despair, an ancient, weathered green glass lamp suddenly lit up.

Its lights are quiet and bright, illuminating the depths of the sea of ​​suffering, as if to light a path of transcendence leading directly to the other shore for all living beings.

The guardian deity sitting cross-legged outside the Pure Land opened his eyes at this moment, with a sad expression, and sensed Ji Jingqiu's thoughts.

Ji Jingqiu continued to move forward, and his mind flashed through what the Hanging War Buddha saw along the way as he traveled through the mortal world. This strengthened his thoughts and also implemented the philosophy he had held along the way.

"From ancient times to the present, what the vast majority of the lower-level spirits have been seeking has always been the same, pure and unchanging. What they want is very simple, just to survive!"

"They cannot see the immortality in your eyes. Their vision is so narrow that they can only focus on the small piece of land around them. But they are the real living beings."

this moment.

Ji Jingqiu stood in front of Ning Mingsheng and said softly:

"Brother Ning, please teach me."

The figure standing in the center of the temple also spoke softly: "Junior Brother Ji, do you believe in God?"

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, then nodded. He pointed to his chest and said seriously, "I believe in God, but I don't believe in the God who controls the world and everything."

Ning Mingsheng was silent for a moment, then asked again: "You believe in yourself? Are you like that person, believing only in yourself?"

Ji Jingqiu shook his head: "Of course I believe in myself the most, but at the same time I also believe that there is a kind of 'divinity' in this world. It is indifferent, but also enthusiastic. It will not promise you peace, but will quietly accompany you, watching you go through the unevenness of life, and give you divine inspiration when you need help the most, telling you that hope is ahead."

"Is this... a god?" For the first time, doubt flashed across Ning Mingsheng's dust-free eyes. He said softly, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother Ji, I can't understand the god in your heart."

"It's okay. Sometimes not understanding is a good thing." Ji Jingqiu comforted.

He knew how hard it was to live.

At this moment, he looks back on the past and wonders if he really managed to survive on his own at certain times?
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu seemed to sense the gaze of some unknown eyes.

he mused.

Perhaps there really is a divinity existing in the dark that "helped" him at a critical moment in the past.

It never makes any promises, but just accompanies silently, proving that hope is indeed right in front of him, as long as he is willing to keep going.

"My future self has lost." Ning Mingsheng looked at him deeply and said, "Junior Brother Ji, I hope you can defeat my current self."

The information revealed in this sentence alone is enough to shock people.

Why did Ning Mingsheng already see the future defeat at this moment? !
However, the next moment, he did not give others any room to think.

A cluster of firelight illuminated the area between Ning Mingsheng's eyebrows, as if a divine fire was beating and burning fiercely. Even the legal order of the surrounding heaven and earth was forged by this divine fire and integrated into it.

He finally revealed his invincible nature at this moment!
Under the burning of this divine fire, not to mention other people, even Ming Miaoyin's unity of man and nature is completely useless.

Even if he could transform into heaven and earth for a short while, he would still be no match for this man's divine fire that could burn away all the laws of heaven and earth!
……

"What kind of trick is this?! Why can't I understand it?!"

In the spiritual world, a celestial being was horrified and felt that all his concepts in life had been overturned.

The other party's means are not a Taoist temple, nor a Dharma body, and they have not entered a state of unity between man and nature. Instead, they regard the laws of heaven and earth as firewood, ignite the firewood, and turn it into their own use.

He was not the only one who was shocked. Most of the celestial beings did not understand Ning Mingsheng's methods.

This is not just invincible, it's simply unsolvable!

The supernatural powers of celestial beings are vast, but these powers are also based on their absolute control over the laws of heaven and earth.

No matter the supernatural powers or the Taoist temple, they are all about communicating with the outside world and borrowing the power of heaven and earth for one's own use. However, Ning Mingsheng can ignore all legal forces and even turn them into firewood!
If he were to enter the realm of heaven, wouldn't he be able to kill all the heavenly warriors in an instant? !

After a long time, a strong man sighed:
"He touches on morality above and grasps the law below. He has already opened the way in the realm of spiritual wandering."

"To call him a young master is to underestimate him."

A strong man added: "The path this person later opened was called 'burning myself'. It claimed that he would use all things in the world as firewood to ignite his true nature, and ultimately forge the only throne of God."

……

"it is good."

Ji Jingqiu responded calmly.

The void around him was filled with rootless lotus flowers, rolling up thousands of piles of snow. Behind him, in the heart lamp that was lit like the sun, a Bodhi tree took root and grew rapidly, pure and spontaneous, emitting clear glass light.

A pure thought brings infinite blessings.

Ning Mingsheng said softly: "So Junior Brother Ji is taking this path. I once met a person who was taking a similar but opposite path."

"Who are you talking about, Brother Ning?"

Ning Mingsheng did not answer, but asked: "Junior Brother Ji, your lineage says that all sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of Tathagata, but why are sentient beings still in the sea of ​​suffering, unable to transcend and see Tathagata?"

this moment.

Nothing else matters, the battle between the two is about the Eternal Monument and even more about the path of the Tao!
Ji Jingqiu did not answer but asked: "Brother Ning, do you know where the Buddha is?"

Ning Mingsheng pondered and said, "The Buddha is in the heart?"

"you are wrong."

Ji Jingqiu stepped forward calmly.
“The Buddha is before our eyes.”

"When all beings see me, they see the Tathagata!"

The words fell.

The twin lotus flowers in Ji Jingqiu's heart are in full bloom at this moment.

Seeing the Tathagata in your heart is seeing the Great Way.

Ning Mingsheng's pupils shrank slightly.

It was similar to the scene where Ji Jingqiu saw a divine fetus behind him that was nurturing a god.

At this moment, he also saw a ray of light blooming behind Ji Jingqiu...

Infinite light!
That is the first light born in this world, the spiritual origin of the creation of the universe and the birth of all things. It illuminates all dharmas and can also illuminate the boundlessness of heaven and earth.

In every acupoint and internal organ of Ji Jingqiu, there was a lotus flower blooming, overflowing with clear glass light, which actually merged into a glass Buddhist kingdom, temporarily supporting an inner world!

His body suddenly swelled up, as if reaching as high as the sky. That was his Dharma image, faceless and formless, like a blank piece of paper without ink, inviting all viewers to put their own pen to paper and project their own mental images onto it.

All beings.

His mind was clear, and he condensed his own Dharma body at this moment, asking the Dharma body to sit in control of the inner world!

The next moment, Ji Jingqiu reached out for the scabbard with a movement that seemed slow and fast. Under the gaze of everyone, his five slender jade-like fingers grasped Qingzhu's hilt.

He drew his sword upwards and shouted:
"This sword is the sword for establishing the Dao! It is also the sword for all living beings to survive!"

A flash of knife light appeared, as if depicting a picture of the world. Although it was based on the Eight Sufferings, the world was still bustling and colorful.

The eight sufferings are all contained in life. The eight sufferings are the red dust, but the red dust is not only about the eight sufferings, there are also the eight corresponding joys.

What all spirits are best at is finding that little bit of luck in misfortune and protecting their own "narrow" little world.

With this cut, a small world seemed to extend out. That was his inner world, and also the presentation of some kind of ideal scene.

Not everyone can realize the beautiful fantasy of peace and joy. Life is still full of dangers from the beginning. No one will be given special favors because of their piety or faith. Fate never accepts bribes. It is fair and equal, and hope is always at your feet.

The only guarantee he can give to all living beings is...

live!

This is the knife of survival.

It is also a divine sword.

After one knife.

He didn't even look at Ning Mingsheng and stepped forward.

behind him.

Ning Mingsheng didn't seem to resist.

Instead, he let the sword fall into his divine fire.

In other words, there is actually no difference between resisting and not resisting.

If the essence of this divine fire is not cut open, it will be like a moth flying into a flame, burning itself and seeking death.

At this point, it’s hard to lose.

At this moment, Ning Mingsheng quietly comprehended the artistic conception of the knife, and it seemed as if something was slowly flowing through his heart.

His body trembled slightly, and he felt everything contained in this knife.

That was someone's countless times of being high-spirited, struggling, and begging for life in the past...

He looked up and seemed to hear the sound of lush grass and gurgling water, and the wind blowing across the sky, bringing the chirping of birds.

That is the depth and breadth of life.

Ning Mingsheng's eyes were dazed, and the divine fetus floating behind him suddenly began to show a knife mark, running through it from top to bottom.

He finally smiled with relief.

In the "future", he was defeated by another person's "all spirits are small but not humble", and in the "today", he was defeated by Ji Jingqiu's knife of survival.

The difference is that he did not understand the meaning of the former, but seemed to understand the path under Ji Jingqiu's feet.

This reminded him of some ancient rumors.

According to legend, in the most ancient and barbaric times, the supreme god drew a bottom line for the world.

A bottom line called life and death.

That is the basis of everything.

Only by living can you have the qualifications to pursue all the good things.

And this is also the first "great freedom" obtained by all living beings in heaven and earth.

He let it go and looked over. He seemed to see a figure. That figure had been telling him since he was born that he would become the Lord of the Heavens...

He looked apologetic.

Sorry.

……

The figure transformed by Gu Lu's will stood in the endless void, standing there in a daze. He looked at Ning Mingsheng and also at Ji Jingqiu's back.

Ji Jingqiu actually won.

He won the last anomaly born in the Huangtian Universe...

This was a possibility that even he had never imagined.

Suddenly.

Gu Lu's will suddenly took action, cutting off the projection channel between this place and the outside world, and cutting off the sight of powerful people from all sides who were spying on this place.

Just at this moment, the three stone tablets deep in the ancient road made a roaring sound!
The three stone tablets resonated, causing brilliant and surging divine clouds to bloom, and the flowers of the avenue bloomed, and the divine light was as bright as the sun across the sky!
The three stone tablets resonated at the same time...

Even Gu Luyi had never seen such a scene!
This is the first case since the establishment of Huangtian Ancient Road!
These three stone tablets fell from Wuwang Mountain after the ancient road was built in the past, and suppressed the depths of the ancient road.

It is the existence of these three stone tablets that allows the Ancient Huangtian Road to be connected to the Wuwang Mountain, borrowing some of its power to evolve into an arena battlefield that exists in the long river of time.

At this moment, even Gu Lu's will was shocked, because the divine aura blooming from the stone tablet was too strong, as if it was about to open a passage.

……

"He actually...really won...?"

"How is it possible... to win?"

"That strike of the sword actually triggered the power of the Eight Sufferings. How terrifying..."

Countless people murmured, and even at this moment, it still felt like a dream.

Especially those warriors who have witnessed how Ning Mingsheng suppressed the invincible warriors one after another under his palms.

Ning Mingsheng does not represent dominance over the entire world, but rather dominance over all “peers” of warriors throughout history.

But today.

Countless wandering warriors on the ancient road looked up at it, just like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

Under the interruption of Gu Lu's will.

The last scene seen by countless viewers was Ji Jingqiu and Ning Mingsheng passing by each other.

One person moves forward.

One person stood still.

It's like a silent declaration of the replacement of the old with the new.

The end of one era also heralds the rise of another.

This scene is destined to be forever remembered in history as it is passed down by generations of warriors.

today.

The first person to ascend the Jiuzhou Eternal Monument——

Ji Jingqiu!
