Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 245: Unparalleled Dao Foundation, Three Months Later

Is Hela so eager to see me?

Ji Jingqiu felt that this matter was a little unusual.

Ever since that night when Hela "accidentally" stepped into his inner world and came into contact with the sea of ​​suffering of all worlds, Lajiang's original body has avoided him like the plague.

The fact that he wanted to see me so actively at this time must be either because something strange is going on or he has something to ask him.

Ji Jingqiu wondered whether he should meet Him?

With his current spiritual realm, it is impossible for Hela's power that dissipates between heaven and earth to invade his inner world as easily as in the past.

And if the commotion gets out of hand, not only the Four Divine Lords, but also Baiyujing will interfere and suppress it.

So now, whether to meet or not, the initiative is in your hands.

A cold snort came from the inner world.

Ji Jingqiu coughed dryly, thinking of this ancient road. Lajiang also contributed to his martial arts, regardless of how much sincerity there was in it, judging by the deeds rather than the heart.

Well, let’s meet him, maybe there is something going on.

He let down his mental defenses a little.

next second.

He seemed to be pulled into another world, surrounded by fog, with the water beneath his feet barely reaching his ankles.

He moved slightly, and ripples appeared on the water surface, spreading into the depths of the fog.

There seemed to be a crimson sun hidden behind the fog, and the crimson halo dyed the sea of ​​fog.

Ji Jingqiu wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but he felt that Hila’s strength was better than a year ago...

A little stronger?
No, from Hela's perspective, "recovery" would be more appropriate.

Is this the tacit approval of the Four Gods?

Just as Ji Jingqiu was thinking, a voice came from the depths of the fog, lazy, cold, and with a bewitching power, guiding him to agree to any of His requests.

[Do you remember our past cooperation? I want to conclude an alliance with you and officially start our cooperation. ]

Ji Jingqiu looked intently, and in the depths of the fog, he could vaguely see a statue with a human head and a snake body. The statue was wearing an emperor's crown, and its palm seemed to contain the shadow of a galaxy.

That is [Dream Goddess Hela], one of the true four gods of the wilderness.

According to what he gained from this trip to Jiuzhou, the true status of the Four Gods of the Wilderness is suspected to be above the five primordial pillars.

But they don't seem to belong to any realm, and some even think that they are chasing after the Dark Sea.

Cooperation?

He remembered that Hela had indeed said that their cooperation would officially take effect once he succeeded in rebelling against his innate nature.

It's been more than a year.

Ji Jingqiu secretly warned himself to keep himself under control and be careful of any possible traps.

Because what appeared before his eyes at this moment was the condensation of Hela's main divinity, which was purer than the bad woman in the inner world and closer to God.

The more human He acts, the more it proves that He is pretending and has ulterior motives.

"We can cooperate, but it needs to be witnessed by several gods." Ji Jingqiu said calmly.

[Haha, you have already confirmed your pregnancy, but you are still so timid in your actions. Do you like hiding under the wings of others so much? ]

Amid the faint sarcasm, Ji Jingqiu inexplicably felt a nameless anger rising in his heart, but he suppressed it in an instant.

This made him even more alert. This bad woman's methods were becoming more and more sophisticated. If he was allowed to recover, no one under heaven would be able to resist.

He will go to report to a few gods later and nip the danger in the bud!
[Our cooperation involves the throne and the other three statues. If you have made up your mind, come to me.]

As the crimson mist gradually receded.

Ji Jingqiu's consciousness returned to the normal world.

He shook his head slightly to dispel the discomfort.

God's throne?

Hela is so urgent, could it be that it involves the "Buddha"?
While thinking.

Bai Yujing’s support has arrived.

Ji Jingqiu arrived at Baiyujing under Baiyujing's special escort.

Dr. Chen's first assistant, Researcher A, personally greeted him.

This person had a passionate look and an extremely enthusiastic attitude, so enthusiastic that Ji Jingqiu felt a little uncomfortable.

He always felt that the way this person looked at him was like...

Reborn parents?

Later, in an accidental conversation, Ji Jingqiu learned that

When he reached the top of Baiyujing a year ago, this man emptied his savings and bet two million on him, with the odds being ten times...

Under the guidance of Researcher A, Ji Jingqiu completed a complete set of tests.

"The specific data needs to be sorted out. We will send it to you when the time comes. You can move freely next, such as going to the top of Baiyujing Pagoda again."

After Researcher A finished his instructions, he left in a hurry.

Ji Jingqiu looked at his back. Did the Crimson Laboratory really have a complete set of theoretical data that could verify the difference between the shackles and the celestial beings?
He didn't go into it further, because he would know the answer when the time came.

Ji Jingqiu had a smooth journey. When he passed by a courtyard, he found it empty. Grandmaster Ning who was stationed there was nowhere to be found.

He walked straight to the depths of Baiyujing, where Lajiang's real body was imprisoned.

As soon as he stepped into the laboratory, his eyes were involuntarily attracted to the figure in the center and he was reluctant to look away.

It was a figure that seemed to have gathered all the beauty in the world. Her long hair was scattered on the cold stone slabs, flowing with a soft luster like moonlight, looking peaceful and tranquil.

But an ancient long knife destroyed the tranquility, piercing through the center of her chest, and the tip of the knife was deeply embedded in the rock below.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes moved.

Do not misunderstand.

He didn't come to see Lajiang.

He came to see Senior Xuan Yi.

Accompanied by a low and long sound of a knife.

"Senior, I am back from Jiuzhou." Ji Jingqiu's eyes were burning.

That was the sword that Coach He once carried, and it was the sword that he had used to respond to Ji Jingqiu when he first arrived here.

But Ji Jingqiu had no qualifications to be in charge of it at that time, and it is still the same now.

Only when he becomes a celestial being and comprehends the laws of heaven and earth, will it be possible to uproot it.

But if we really want to pull out this knife, we must first solve the problem of Hela herself, otherwise we will be letting the tiger out of the cage.

The sound of swords lingered in the air, as if someone had just woken up from a deep sleep, and with a hint of curiosity, asked Ji Jingqiu about his performance on the ancient road.

Ji Jingqiu briefly described his achievements on the ancient road, and focused on describing his experience of stepping into [Wuwang Mountain].

The long sword was silent for a moment.

After a long time, accompanied by the sound of a knife, the meaning entered his mind.
[You have done a great job, surpassing your predecessors. I see hope for the future in you.]

What are you going to do next?

"I plan to follow the old path that Senior He and his friends took and learn from the Federation's various spiritual traditions."

[The right choice, if you can continue on this path, it will be of great benefit to your martial arts, both now and in the future. ]

[I remember that you practiced the formless Dao body. Are you ready to continue? ]

Ji Jingqiu's expression was solemn, and he expressed some of his recent insights.

This time, the long sword was silent for a moment again, then it trembled slightly and a sound of sword ringing was heard.

[You can have such understanding at this stage, Wu Hui is not inferior to Ah He and others. Since you want to take this path, then I will point out another way for you. I will teach you the Guiyi Jue. Are you still trying to comprehend it? ]

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

This secret method of increasing the power of his attacks helped him a lot, but it had a fatal flaw, which was that the backlash from each attack would increase as his realm improved.

The side effects are obvious.

That is to say, his physique has always been far superior to those of his peers, which allowed him to turn this secret technique into a normal state and keep it running at all times.

So far, the reason why he has been so powerful is largely due to this secret method.

[I will teach you another secret method that can be used in conjunction with the Guiyi Jue. When Ah He was refining the Hundred Scriptures, he used this secret method to simplify all the methods and finally unify them into one, which he used as the foundation of his own martial arts.]

Ji Jingqiu was overjoyed.

This secret method is exactly the "subtraction" he needs in the future!
【Go ahead, someone is waiting for you. 】

After Ji Jingqiu's secret method was passed on, the sound of the sword gradually subsided, and He Donghuang's former magic weapon once again restrained its edge and fell silent.

After Ji Jingqiu saluted, he glanced at Lajiang's real body beside him and turned away.

If I'm not mistaken, the "someone" that Senior Xuanyi mentioned should be Senior Mu.

……

……

Crimson Labs.

Dr. Chen said calmly, "How is Ji Jingqiu's data calculation going?"

"The results are out. His vitality has actually reached 7.98!" Researcher A exclaimed. "This data is only 8 away from the standard value of 0.02 points for the fourth level of damage!"

"Oh?" Dr. Chen asked with interest, "How many shackles has he broken free from now?"

"I have confirmed with Ji Jingqiu that there are only two at the moment!"

"Only two?"

Dr. Chen's eyes flickered.
"The standard value of vitality for two shackles is 2, but he actually surpassed the normal value by four times. According to the calculation method recorded in the Saint King's ruins, when he breaks free of all six shackles, it will also be four times the normal value of breaking six shackles."

Researcher A's eyes widened as he said, "Four times? The standard value of vitality for a six-point breakthrough is 32. After he breaks through the six-point breakthrough, won't he get 128 points? When he completes the unification of his physical body, his vitality will increase tenfold again—"

At this point, he took a breath.

The "vitality" system they were discussing came from the relics of the Holy King Pantheon.

In the eyes of the Holy King, many systems are mixed, but vitality and mental strength run through everything and are the source of the power of all living things.

After deciphering the contents of the ruins, Crimson Labs accessed the Federation's warrior database and quickly compiled the corresponding data.

In the end, it was shown that in the eyes of the former Holy King God System, the Shackles Realm that condensed the stance of life was considered a "combat power" worthy of attention.

In other words, a [standard warrior] who is qualified to conquer other worlds and adapt to various harsh environments.

This standard level of vitality strength is defined as [1].

From now on, every time you break free of a shackle, your vitality will double.

This is consistent with the fact that every time the Federation's martial arts take on a small shackle, the essence of life will undergo a leap.

1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 points of health.

They correspond to the six shackles respectively.

When Ji Jingqiu breaks through the six levels, his vitality will reach 128 points. After completing the unification of his physical body, his vitality will reach a terrifying 1280 points. However, the vitality of an ordinary person with six levels of breakthrough is only 320 points.

At this point, the simple difference in multipliers is no longer as noticeable as the huge difference in pure numerical values.

2 to 7.98 can be said to be four times.

But 320 to 1280...

How many 7.98-2 are there in this difference?

Dr. Chen pondered, "His standards are different. You can't compare him with the standard values ​​of the Shackles Realm. You have to look at a higher level. Then you will feel that he is still a little short and has room for improvement."

"Mind phase? Even the strongest ones among Qianlong can't compare to his future physical strength, right?" Researcher A muttered.

Completing the six breaks and achieving the unification of the physical body is the greatest physical transformation before the celestial being. Even if the mind-type warriors have some improvement, it is very small and it is impossible to make up for the vitality gap of more than 900.

"He is a celestial being. When a warrior breaks through the celestial being boundary, he will forge a celestial being body. The minimum standard value of vitality at this level is 2000 points!" Dr. Chen said seriously, "He still has a lot of room for improvement!"

Researcher A wiped his sweat silently.

Is this human talk?
Although he did not pursue the path of martial arts, given his status, he naturally knew the difference between a celestial being and someone below celestial being.

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

Once you cross this threshold, you become a completely different species. Otherwise, why is it called "heaven"?
and many more……

In the Six-Break Field, Ji Jingqiu, whose vitality can reach 1280 points, and a Six-Break Warrior with 320 points, are they not two different species?
Researcher A looked down at the data sheet and said:
"Forget about his physical strength. This kid doesn't even have the mental state, but his mental strength has reached nearly 50% of the unity of heaven and man. Is this the heart-evidence fetal breathing? This kid is really a monster!"

Dr. Chen explained:

"According to the intelligence, he has just broken through the Saint Embryo not long ago. This value will slowly increase until he completely adapts to the rules of the universe. The Heart Confirmation Embryo Breathing will eventually reach the 70% limit."

"The reason why he can defeat enemies of higher levels now is because his mind is too strong. He uses the power of heaven and earth to make up for the difference in his physical body."

Researcher A was speechless. So the current figure was less than 50%, or even less?

The top three hundred on the Federation's Hidden Dragon List have only barely reached this level!
"If we only follow this standard, after he completes the unification of his physical body, the overall strength of his mind should be able to reach 70% of the minimum standard of a celestial warrior."

Dr. Chen paused.

This data is simply terrifying. According to their previous calculations, the top ten warriors on the Federation's current Hidden Dragon Ranking, who are known as the top of the Heart Phase, can generally only reach 40% to 50% of the minimum standard of a Heavenly Warrior!
These people are all "seniors" to Ji Jingqiu.

In terms of spiritual cultivation, they can still compete with Ji Jingqiu and stand shoulder to shoulder.

But in terms of physical strength, I can't catch up.

After all, spiritual cultivation can be comprehended over time, but the strength of physical vitality...

Without a heaven-defying opportunity, you can’t reach your destination.

This is also a difference in the foundation of Tao.

A one-point difference will result in a gap of several times or even dozens of times in the future.

Dr. Chen's eyes flickered.

He always felt that with Ji Jingqiu's talent and ability, he might be able to bring them some surprises.

such as……

Breaking the boundaries between humans and gods in the future?

In Kyushu, this seems to be called the divine ban, and in history, only a few people have broken the divine ban.

"As expected of you, you are the greatest genius in the Federation in ten thousand years!" Researcher A couldn't help but say, "By the way, Boss, can you lend me some more money?"

Dr. Chen couldn't help but glance at him and asked, "Didn't you win 20 million last time?"

Researcher A complained: "I married a spendthrift woman and gave birth to a money-eating beast. I spent a lot of money on a school district house in the central area!"

Dr. Chen frowned and said disdainfully: "What's your brain? Buy a house in the central area?"

"what?"

Researcher A looked confused.

"Where else should we go? The capital? Aren't the conditions in the central area the best in the Federation? And when the children go to school in the future, they can have priority in choosing a dojo."

Dr. Chen said calmly, "You are also an experienced person, and you can find all kinds of first-hand information on the laboratory's internal network. Do you know the recent changes in the East 3 Brilliant Star?"

Seeing his subordinates so stupid, he shook his head and said:

"Dongsanhuang Star now has a branch temple of the Lord God and a passage leading to Jiuzhou. It is also a planet under Ji Jingqiu's name.

“When Ji Jingqiu becomes successful in martial arts in the future, he will definitely choose Dongsanhuang Star as his training ground. This planet will sooner or later become a holy place for martial arts in the Federation.”

Researcher A said cautiously: "I have inside information. The future of East 3 Brilliant Star may not be very safe."

Dr. Chen said calmly, "Can't you buy the property first? Even if something happens and the house is gone, you can get compensation from the government."

Researcher A's eyes lit up, and he said shamelessly, "Boss, how about you lend me some more money? I'll bet on Ji Jingqiu to see if Baimai can make it to the end, and win another house."

Dr. Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "That's fine. I'll use your account and help me put some pocket money aside."

Researcher A asked in surprise: "Why don't you bet on it yourself?"

Dr. Chen shook his head and did not answer.

Ever since he “cleaned up” the federal underground market last time and got his money back, some people can’t stand it anymore and have jointly boycotted him from entering the market.

"Organize the data and bring it to Ji Jingqiu."

Dr. Chen ordered,

"Then simplify the testing process. Ji Jingqiu can't go back to the Four Guardian Stars every time for every test. This is too inconvenient. Move the simplified testing equipment to the spacecraft."

"learn!"

……

……

Not long after Ji Jingqiu walked out of the laboratory, he received a message from Researcher A on the terminal.

After digesting the definition of vitality and mental strength of the Holy King system, he suddenly thought of Chi Ji from the Holy King lineage.

This woman entered the Jiuzhou Ancient Road in her reward body, and claimed that her real body had already broken through the boundary between heaven and man.

I wonder how this crazy woman is doing today.

Akahime was the second most beautiful woman he had ever seen, second only to Lajiang, in terms of appearance, figure, and madness.

"Six broken...but I have seven broken." Ji Jingqiu murmured.

According to this algorithm, after completing seven breaks, my vitality should be able to reach 256 points?
Then after the physical body is unified, the vitality will soar tenfold to 2560 points?
Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but take a breath.

Will the tenfold surge rate of this physical body's unification really not trigger the upper limit?

For example, no matter what the base number is, it will stop after 1500 points...

If there were no such so-called restriction, wouldn't I be able to exceed the minimum of 2000 points for a celestial being after completing the unification of my physical body?
Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly. This was his unparalleled Taoist foundation. Once he broke into the mind state, he could challenge the gods.

Besides asking all the meridians, the most important thing for me right now is to break free from the shackles.

Unfortunately, if this thing burns the essence of life, it will take time to settle.

Apart from the accumulation of time and resources, the next step is fighting.

"How are you feeling lately?"

A familiar voice sounded up ahead.

Ji Jingqiu looked up, and as expected, he saluted and said, "Mr. Mu!"

Mu Chantian waved his hand: "No need to be polite, I'm meeting you this time for two things."

"First, this is the Dharma of the Buddha that originally belonged to you. Please keep it for later nurturing and contemplation."

He snapped his fingers and a spot of light flew into Ji Jingqiu's brow.

Ji Jingqiu closed his eyes, and the visualization diagram of the Buddha's Hell in Fire House was triggered unconsciously, leading the light spot into the inner world.

Finally, the light spot fell into the lotus pond and turned into a brand new lotus seed.

Mu Chantian said calmly: "Second, in half a month, we will set off for the Heavenly Road and then travel far away. In this half month, I hope you can visit more martial veins."

Ji Jingqiu was shocked.

What is coming will eventually come.

The Federation’s most powerful fighters left, and from then on the country entered a situation where heaven and man were the dominant forces!
"We expect that the federation will generally maintain superficial peace for two years, after which some long-suppressed conflicts will gradually be ignited."

"I hope you can protect yourself before then."

Two years...

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath.

Mu Chantian patted his shoulder and said with a smile:

"Well, let's go meet the young people who have returned."

Before leaving.

Mu Chantian paused and said:
"Remember what I said before. I don't mind you taking the initiative to rectify the Mu family."

After leaving this sentence, Mu Chantian left without giving Ji Jingqiu any more chance to ask more questions.

Ji Jingqiu stood there for a long time, sighed softly, and his expression gradually returned to calm.

The next two years will be the beginning of turmoil in the federation.

In Master Bai Lu's speculation, with the departure of the master-level warriors, there is a high probability that a situation of conflict between heaven and man will emerge in the Federation in the future.

He needs to have the power to protect himself before that.

"Jingqiu."

A familiar voice came from not far away. Ji Jingqiu looked up and saw that it was Ji Anquan.

The younger generation of the Federation who went to the ancient road of Jiuzhou returned together on this day.

These young people who were still in the True Seed Realm more than a year ago have now at least entered the late stage of Divine Wandering, or even the peak of Divine Wandering, and are not far from the Shackles Realm.

The journey to the Jiuzhou Ancient Road saved them more than a decade of sedimentation, but also allowed them to truly see blood.

The cruelty of the life-and-death struggle on the ancient road is close to the "way of nature", which is not comparable to the Federation. The Federation at least maintains the rule of law on the surface.

Ji Jingqiu greeted them with a smile and met his old friends.

Everyone was very excited, and the emotions they had felt after witnessing Ji Jingqiu reaching the top of the Eternal Monument were released at this moment.

At the banquet that night, everyone was excited when they heard that Ji Jingqiu was following the "old path" of asking about all the meridians.

"Hiss, Ji, why are you running away first again!"

“Asking about the Hundred Meridians… This is the old road from the past! Many of our predecessors have walked this road before, not just the Grandmasters. But I don’t know when it was suppressed by all parties.”

"Brother Ji, I admire you for taking this path! Cheers to you!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank, the scene was extremely lively

"Everyone, I have a suggestion."

In the corner, Ji Anquan, who had been receiving recent news and intelligence, suddenly stepped out and spoke with a smile, interrupting everyone.

Upon hearing this voice, many people shuddered, reacted instinctively, and some even clenched their fists.

"This will be a great era. How can we let Brother Ji go alone?"

After hearing Ji Anquan's words, many people looked serious and guessed what this guy meant.

Everyone fell silent at the same time.

"Asking about the Hundred Meridians, the original prototype ten thousand years ago was for each meridian to discuss with each other. This scene may be recreated today."

Ji Anquan smiled and said, "Brother Ji has made a good start, why don't we follow suit?"

Ji Jingqiu was also stunned. He didn't expect Ji Anquan to make such a suggestion.

After a brief silence, the crowd of young people burst into excitement.

At the end of the banquet.

Ji Anquan sent an invitation to Ji Jingqiu, and the two chatted in a secret room for a long time before leaving.

Ji Anquan left the Four Guardian Stars that night and returned to the Ji family.

Ji Jingqiu sobered up and came to the top of Baiyujing's tower again, overlooking the Four Guardian Stars. The world was at his feet.

He is rediscovering his old feelings.

He considered himself to be on par with his peers.

So what's next?

The next morning.

Ji Jingqiu walked out of Baiyujing alone, and accompanied by Sui Canghai, he once again embarked on the journey of asking for the way to all meridians.

And this time.

Just three months.

……

Time flies.

These three months can be peaceful and tranquil, or they can be turbulent with undercurrents surging in private.

District 1 North.

The reason why the capital of the Federation is not in the central area but is built in North District 1 is because the rift channel leading to the Sky Road within the Federation is in North District 1!
Therefore, North District 1 has always been heavily guarded and full of experts, and it is also the core of the federation.

A man in black walked out from behind the crack in the Sky Road. After undergoing routine inspection by federal officials, he strode out of the passage.

He looked up at the long-lost blue sky and sighed with satisfaction.

"Brother! Congratulations on returning from your training on the Heavenly Road!"

Not far away, a slightly fat warrior came to greet them with a smile, and walked quickly with several fellow apprentices.

The man in black showed a smile on his face. The greatest joy after returning home was to see old friends.

He took a few steps forward, punched the fat warrior on the shoulder, and said jokingly, "Mr. Meng, why are you getting fatter and fatter?"

Meng Jiao from the Sun Moon Dojo shrugged and said, "This is how I practice my magical power. I'm not fat, I'm strong!"

The man in black laughed and gave his junior fellow apprentice a warm hug.

"Be gentle, be gentle..." Meng Jiao bared his teeth, "Brother, your physique is getting more and more outrageous!"

The man in black let go of his hand, his eyes sparkling with light, and he said with a smile: "I heard that the Federation has been very lively recently? Especially a younger generation named Ji Jingqiu?"

"Ji Jingqiu?"

Hearing this name, Meng Jiao's eyebrows jumped, his chubby face suddenly became tangled, and he gritted his teeth and said,
"Don't mention this name. I can't wait to place a bounty on the black market and find someone to kill him!"

The man in black asked in surprise: "Why is this?"

Meng Jiao said in a deep voice: "In just three months, this person has picked more than a dozen martial veins, and has single-handedly promoted the ancient tradition of asking for the way among all the veins, causing chaos in the federation now!"

The man in black laughed loudly and said, "The question of all meridians makes my blood boil! With such a grand scene in the Federation, why should we worry about the prosperity of martial arts? What are you afraid of?"

Meng Jiao immediately smiled bitterly and said:
"Brother, you just came back and you don't know the situation. I don't blame you! But you have to know that Master has issued an ultimatum. If we can't take three moves from this guy, we will all go back to retreat. If you don't have the intention, don't come out!"

"Also, I got news that someone has actually offered a huge reward on the black market to hire someone to assassinate this guy!"

The man in black looked serious and asked, "How many moves did you say?"
