Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 237 Jiugong Ancestor Worship, Burning Incense
Nine Palaces.

Inside the majestic and grand hall, the pillars supporting the dome are ten meters in diameter. This is a sacred meeting hall, located at the highest point of the Nine Palaces.

At this moment.

Qi Yunfei sat opposite the palace masters of several other palaces.

“I just want to know why the ancestor worship has to be brought forward. Even if you and Gu Tatian really want to push that kid to the top, why are you in such a hurry? He hasn’t reached the level of a celestial being yet!”

The Palace Master from Dragon Palace and Heavenly Palace said dissatisfiedly.

Is ancestor worship a joke?
There are too many things involved, but now Qi Yunfei and Gu Tatian not only want to hold it in advance, but also want Ji Jingqiu to be the first incense burner of this generation!
"That's right, even if we advance, Ji Jingqiu can't lead the team! He is just daydreaming and can't take on this position."

"You are being too frivolous and lack respect for the ancestors of all generations!"

In response to these people's opposition, Qi Yunfei had only one sentence -

"The ancestors will be very happy if Jingqiu takes the lead."

As soon as these words came out, the old man in the first seat slowly opened his eyes.

Among the crowd, the old man had always been very calm, without any worldly air, as if he didn't exist, until he raised his eyes at this moment, and countless scenes flashed through his eyes, including peerless battles, surging seas of blood, and countless once majestic figures...

Everyone fell silent at the same time.

The old man looked ahead, taking a serious look at the young man who was sitting somewhere and realizing the embryonic form of the holy fetus.

He looked at Qi Yunfei and asked calmly, "Is he going back?"

Qi Yunfei looked at this person deeply, and he was worthy of being the ancestor of the Jiugong who still exists today.

He nodded and said, "The embryo of Jingqiu's holy fetus has taken shape. It is not appropriate for her to stay in Jiuzhou any longer."

The other palace masters frowned. What do you mean it is not suitable to stay in Jiuzhou? If you are not in Jiuzhou, what else can you do...

Some people's color changed instantly, thinking of Ji Jingqiu's appearance without any trace.

The old man nodded and said, "Then let's make the ancestors happy. You always send mediocre people to worship the ancestors. The ancestors are almost disappointed with you trash."

Everyone looked embarrassed. The leaders of the ancestor worship in previous generations were many young celestial warriors who were only one or two hundred years old...

The old man said slowly: "Also, if it does not harm the foundation, let this child keep some magical seeds."

Qi Yunfei narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although he had heard that this would not harm Ji Jingqiu's foundation, it was obviously impossible for him to agree so easily...

The old man glanced at everyone and said calmly: "Next, you should try your best to cooperate with the actions of the Red Sky Palace and the Great Red Sky Palace. At this time when a great catastrophe is coming, you should all behave yourself and think about the overall situation in everything you do."

No matter how reluctant everyone was, they had no choice but to nod.

Several of them vaguely guessed Ji Jingqiu's origins and what the old man Qi Yunfei was hiding.

At this moment, the look in their eyes when they looked at Qi Yunfei was glowing green, as if they wanted to eat this old man alive.

It is very likely that these two bastards have already mastered the passage to the universe, but they haven't revealed a single thing until now!

Even though they are so disunited, the ancestor is still so partial to these two bastards!

……

……

As the news of the early holding of the Jiugong ancestor worship spread quickly, it instantly caused a sensation within the Jiugong.

Ancestor worship is not just a formality, but involves the distribution of many interests. This time, it has directly thrown many people into disarray.

Some people cursed loudly on the virtual network used by all parties to communicate within the Jiugong, which attracted the attention of the law enforcement team.

Some people did not dare to discuss it on the internal website and could only gather together to talk about it.

"Ancestor worship? Why is it so early?"

"You don't know? Let me put it this way. I heard that this time the ancestor worship will be led by that great-grandmaster Ji."

"Hiss - are you talking about Ji Jingqiu, who is number one on the Eternal Monument?" someone asked in surprise, with a look of relief and disbelief.

Although that great-grandmaster Ji ranked first in the Eternal Monument, it was heard that he had only practiced in the Nine Palaces for a few days.

Moreover, ancestor worship is the most important event. In previous years, those who could participate in the ancestor worship were almost all led by the youngest celestial warriors of the contemporary era. This time, not only was the ancestor worship held earlier, but it was actually the turn of a Divine Wandering Realm warrior...

"Has this person already been selected for those key positions?" someone whispered.

"Impossible! He is just a genius in the Divine Wandering Realm. If he cannot become a god, he will end up being an ant. In history, countless warriors who made rapid progress in the early stages and were praised as extraordinary geniuses eventually fell before the boundary between heaven and man."

One of them looked at the man in the first seat and said with compliments,
"Senior Brother Zuo is different. He has already broken through to the Heavenly Man stage and holds real power. He is still so young. He will be able to compete for those core positions in the future."

Among the others, some agreed, while others disagreed.

Considering the size of the Nine Palaces, if one is not a celestial being, then he is indeed just a pawn. Only when one reaches the seventh level of Heavenly King can one have the right to speak.

But the problem is that among the warriors in the top ten of the Eternal History Monument, none of them who have grown up will be lower than the level of the Heavenly King.

This person's remarks are really biased. It is likely that the forces behind him have been targeted severely by the Dachi Tiangong and the Chi Ming Minggong recently. The head follows the butt.

You should know that Yi Tianpeng, who was ranked sixth in the past, caused the former Mother Goddess Church to fall flat on its face!
Oh, it's number seven now.

The man in the first seat shook his head slightly and said, "Master Ji...Master Uncle Ji..."

Speaking of this, he felt somewhat helpless.

Logically speaking, the most capable person should be given the position, but the seniority system is too confusing, so the position should be determined based on strength.

But who dares to call the nephew of the Great Red Heavenly Lord a junior?
Is this an attempt to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Great Red Heavenly Lord?
There are not many people in the entire Jiugong!

"Master Uncle Ji is extremely gifted and talented. It is certain that he will achieve a breakthrough to heaven in the future. We are just one step ahead."

His humble remarks immediately attracted praise from other warriors.

His name is Zuo Anxin, and his status is almost equivalent to Feng Wu two hundred years ago. He has already broken through the realm of heaven and man and is no longer from the young generation.

Forces like Jiugong have a complete system for training and promoting the younger generation, and they focus on "foundation". A Jiugong disciple with a good family background like Zuo Anxin will have an easier time than most peripheral warriors in his career and will be able to hold real power.

The size of the Nine Palaces is too large, far beyond the reach of the Federation. Even among the celestial warriors, there is a division between real power and virtual power within the Nine Palaces.

People with a good family background like Zuo Anxin can hold great power once they break through the boundary between heaven and man.

Real positions of power are like carrot pits, one less if one is occupied.

Zuo Anxin suddenly looked at the man who had spoken earlier and said, "Junior Brother Yang, I heard that you refused the Heart Lamp vaccination?"

Yang Hongsi, who had not hesitated to step on Ji Jingqiu a few times to flatter Zuo Anxin, nodded.

Not long ago, news came out that the top leaders needed some warriors to cooperate with a test. The specific content was to plant the seeds of magical powers that differentiated from Ji Jingqiu's innate magical powers, and he was chosen.

How could Yang Hongsi agree to allow the seeds of other people's innate supernatural powers to take root in his body? After hearing this, he refused on the spot.

Even though the rumors were very mysterious and said that this heart lamp had unparalleled magical powers, he didn't believe it.

Zuo Anxin thought of something he had heard and advised, "Junior Brother Yang, if you have the chance, it would be better for you to accept it."

Yang Hongsi said disapprovingly: "My Nine Palaces has a long heritage, and the treasures in the arsenal are vast and boundless, so there is no need for this innate magical power."

Zuo Anxin shook his head slightly and stopped persuading her.

Suddenly, he seemed to have received the message. He stood up, said goodbye to his fellow disciples, and left in a hurry.

Not long after, he met his teacher, who brought him good news.

"The results are out." The white-haired old man glanced at Zuo Anxin and said with relief, "You are also on the first list of people to worship the ancestors."

Zuo An was overjoyed, and did not try to hide his joy. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you very much, Master, for your cultivation! I will never let down the expectations of our ancestors!"

This ancestor worship is not just a title, it also means that you have entered the vision of the top management and will be given priority in future promotions.

In addition, the most crucial thing is the protection of the ancestors of the Nine Palaces!

The level of heaven and man, and the communicating dimensional universe, largely determine a warrior's combat effectiveness.

The warriors above the level of celestial beings in the Nine Palaces would leave behind the inner world they had opened up before their death. This would accumulate from generation to generation and eventually converge into a complete dimensional universe, which was the true accumulation of the foundation for a dominant force.

The celestial warriors under Jiugong can borrow strength from it and overpower other warriors of the same level. Such holy places are usually known as [ancestral lands], and the magical powers built on the [ancestral lands] are called [ancestral skills].

The longer an ancestral technique is passed down, the greater its power becomes. It is the accumulation of a force.

This is the difference between warriors from powerful forces with a legacy and "independent practitioners".

However, not all celestial warriors are qualified to gain recognition from their ancestral land, and the inheritance of ancestral skills, through large-scale ceremonies like ancestor worship, is one of the important channels.

The white-haired young man smiled and said, "You have already entered the realm of heaven at such a young age. You are the best seedling of our lineage in ten thousand years. There is hope that you will make further progress in the future. Keep working hard."

Zuo Anxin suddenly thought of something and asked, "Teacher, I wonder if the Ji from the Great Red Palace..."

The white-haired young man shook his head and said without hesitation: "He is not your opponent. Don't make enemies for yourself out of thin air."

Zuo Anxin nodded solemnly.

The white-haired young man hesitated for a moment, then said, "When we worship our ancestors, you will be in the second row, and he will be in the first row."

Zuo Anxin’s expression froze.

……

……

Ji Jingqiu carefully controlled the prototype of the holy fetus and comprehended the mystery of it.

Once he got into the state, he felt as if every cell in his body was breathing and releasing energy.

Regardless of past or present lives, there has been a concept of "bigu" in ancient times, which means that people do not need to eat and can maintain their daily needs by absorbing energy from heaven and earth. In the long run, the body will not be contaminated by worldly things.

He is showing signs of this now.

The shackles state requires the continuous burning of the source of life.

The spiritual fetal breathing can absorb the energy between heaven and earth by traveling through the mind, and transform it into the source of life.

This means that his Shackles Realm is destined to go further than those in the same realm.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu felt the cells in his body absorbing and exhaling the energy between heaven and earth under the influence of the holy fetus embryo.

Soon, he felt a sense of saturation and ended this state immediately.

After waking up, Ji Jingqiu felt full of energy, and his tendons, veins and muscles seemed to be stronger.

This is the fetal breathing state, where the mind wanders between heaven and earth, drawing strength from between heaven and earth to temper oneself.

Ji Jingqiu gradually felt the mystery of this realm, which was simply hard to extricate himself from.

This reminded him of the warning from Master Yang a long time ago.

——A tree without roots, with solitary flowers, sitting in solitude and cultivating alone, the energy becomes withered.

Throughout history, there are many warriors who are gifted in spiritual practice, who would know the end of the year by seeing a leaf fall, and finally sit in meditation, trying to comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth. However, most of them ended up losing their minds in the vast universe, and sat in meditation until they died.

This type of people most likely haven't understood the wonders of fetal breathing, otherwise at least their bodies wouldn't wither and die.

"Hu——" Ji Jingqiu let out a long breath, full of energy.

During this period of time, he separated some heart lamp seeds, and gave some to the Dachi Tiangong, and some to Feng Wu, the leader of the Nine Palaces Sun and Moon Alliance.

After tomorrow’s ancestor worship, we can go back.

"Junior Brother Ji."

Outside the hall, the voice of Senior Brother Gu was heard.

Gu Chensha strode over, bringing with him a set of sacrificial robes for ancestor worship. He came to explain to Ji Jingqiu about tomorrow's ancestor worship arrangements.

The Nine Palaces Ancestor Worship is a big deal, and it would be bad if something unexpected happened at that time.

"First incense?"

Ji Jingqiu was stunned. He didn't expect that the Nine Palaces Ancestor Worship was actually related to him.

It turned out that the two palace masters wanted him to complete the ancestor worship ceremony before returning to the universe, so they held the meeting early!

If excellence is a sin, Ji Jingqiu feels that he deserves to be sentenced to death.

Soon, Ji Jingqiu learned about the so-called ancestral land and ancestral skills from Senior Brother Gu. Only then did he realize that the so-called ancestor worship was not just a ritual process...

This aroused his interest, and with the explanation of Senior Brother Gu, he completed his understanding of the ancestor worship ceremony.

With the arrival of the second day.

Accompanied by Senior Brother Gu, Ji Jingqiu came to a temple, the core place of the Jiugong ancestor worship.

The Nine Palaces Ancestor Worship is a major event that encompasses the entire Nine Palaces. All the main palaces, branch palaces, and the forces and civilizations under their jurisdiction must participate.

The temple in front of us is the core place for ancestor worship.

The temple is not spacious and is even a bit crowded. It is said that the first generation of the Nine Palaces Patriarch did not like extravagance and waste, and kept everything simple.

At this moment, there were dozens of figures standing inside.

When Ji Jingqiu and Gu Chensha walked to the entrance of the temple, they attracted everyone's attention.

There was curiosity or kindness in these looks, but there was no hostility.

At least not on the surface.

Ji Jingqiu didn't have time to pay attention to these people.

As soon as he stepped into the temple, he felt the existence of the "Nine Heavens" mentioned by Senior Brother Gu, which was the "will of heaven" of the cosmic dimension created by Jiugong.

It is grand, majestic, and boundless, and seems to be everywhere, permeating every inch of space. It reveals an eternal aura that makes people feel awe and dare not move rashly.

And right now.

The expressions of everyone in the temple changed.

At the top of the temple, a terrifying invisible thought descended, sat in the main seat of the temple, and looked down majestically.

"The ancestors have really arrived..." someone murmured with a look of joy on his face.

The Nine Palaces Grand Ceremony was not always possible to invite the Grand Master to descend through his thoughts. This time, the Grand Master took the initiative to "take his seat" before the ceremony even started, which was extremely rare!

Someone looked at Ji Jingqiu at the entrance of the temple with a complicated expression, wondering if it was really because of this person?
Is the title of No. 1 in the Eternal Monument so invaluable?
The ancestor worship ceremony went smoothly and no unexpected situations occurred.

The only hidden worry was that when Ji Jingqiu was burning incense, he suddenly felt inexplicably panicked. He thought of the incident at the Four Gods Church before, when the statue of the god inexplicably shattered not long after he had offered sacrifices.

We shouldn’t repeat the same mistake today, right?
Well, this is not those few people. He was still quite sincere when he burned incense at this moment.

Before everyone.

Ji Jingqiu stood at the front, holding the first incense stick, and offered the first incense stick under the complicated gazes of the warriors behind him.

Qi Yunfei on the side smiled with relief.

After being the first to burn incense in the temple, Ji Jingqiu and their Jiugong officially had a relationship of worship.

Zuo Anxin, who was standing in the second row, was worshiping the ancestors in turn. When he inserted the incense into the incense burner, he was shocked to find that the speed of Ji Jingqiu's first incense stick burning out was ten times faster than that of other incense sticks!
Who dares to make any small moves in the temple?
Even the masters of the Nine Palaces did not dare to act recklessly, so there was no need to think too much about the reasons behind it.

But...are you really that impatient?

Zuo Anxin opened his mouth.

It was hard to describe for a moment.

The majestic images of the ancestors in my mind seemed to have... collapsed!

And seeing that no "accidents" happened to the statues in the temple until the end, Ji Jingqiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the ancestor worship ceremony, Ji Jingqiu clearly felt a brand silently falling on the embryonic form of his holy fetus.

Is this the ancestral technique and ancestral imprint of the Nine Palaces?
