Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 254 The Cemetery of the Gods,
"Cemetery?" Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment, then asked again, "Whose cemetery?"

【You will know, but not now. 】

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath: "Why do the gods say that time is running out?"

[It's simple. They are dying.]

[I told you a long time ago that your Federation's god system is a road of no return, the road of evil gods. If those guys were willing to go to the end, it would be fine, but they think too highly of themselves and are unwilling to compromise, so they will die sooner or later.]

In the inner world, Hela’s expression was calm. Surprisingly, she did not express her contempt or ridicule towards those people at this moment. She was just calm and peaceful.

Ji Jingqiu could sense that Hela's emotions regarding the choices made by the gods were complex and difficult to describe.

Ji Jingqiu frowned. What is the end of this road?
He wanted to ask, but Hela chose to remain silent.

In desperation, he contacted the Bone Arhat Huang Fuxing.

[You are heading to the western part of the Federation?! ]

After learning about Ji Jingqiu's itinerary, Huang Fuxing was silent for a long time before replying.

[There are currently seven time zones in the western part of the Federation, and three of them are in the midst of war. Which planet are you going to? ]

Ji Jingqiu pondered. This time he was going to the western part of the Federation, still under the name of "piercing all the meridians with a knife".

There are more than a dozen martial arts veins in the western part of the Federation, three of which still have masters of heaven and man in charge. Among these three, two of them have evolved into martial arts families over a long period of time.

His next goal is West 4 Mo Star located in West 4 District.

[Fortunately, West 4 Moxing has not yet been listed as a forbidden area for celestial beings. You have celestial beings accompanying you to protect you, so there shouldn't be any accidents.]

[If it's convenient, we can meet in West 4 Moxing. My teacher and I are currently in the western part of the Federation.]

Hearing this, Ji Jingqiu looked solemn. Huang Fuxing was the leader of the Old School, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was now the leader of the Supreme True Buddha Sect.

Is the Supreme Buddha Sect taking action in the western part of the Federation?
If I remember correctly, the reason why the Religious Administration Bureau has been stationing people in the western part of the Federation is to prevent members of underground religious groups from taking the opportunity to cause chaos in the western part of the Federation.

But Ji Jingqiu soon realized that the old school and the new school were different, and they respected the ancient laws.

The "ancient method" of the Supreme True Buddha Sect is to monitor the operation of the federation and solve "problems" in its own way when necessary.

[We are here to stabilize the situation. You will know when we meet. I hope you are just passing by...]

This conversation between him and Huang Fuxing was through a smart terminal, not the Supreme Buddha, so he could hear the deep fatigue in the latter's words.

[By the way, Jingqiu, you should go to the Buddha Kingdom less often recently. The True Buddha may be a little 'uneasy' recently. ]

disturbed?

Huang Fuxing seemed to have something to do, so he hung up the phone in a hurry and left.

After taking precautions, Ji Jingqiu decisively locked onto the coordinates of the Buddha Kingdom, traveled through the deep sea in his mind, and entered the Buddha Kingdom.

Unexpectedly, this time he was followed by Lajiang.

After the two parties signed the contract, the most obvious change was that Ji Jingqiu relaxed the restrictions on Hela and gave her a certain degree of freedom.

The price is that Hela needs to sacrifice this clone to help at the critical moment.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at this impatient guy and didn't interfere. Although she had freedom, it didn't mean she could do whatever she wanted and needed his consent.

He looked up, and after seeing the Buddha clearly in the distance, his expression changed slightly.

The pure white Buddha, sitting cross-legged in the void as in the past, sat in the center of the Buddha's kingdom. Behind him were densely packed silk threads connecting to the other side of the void, many of which were as black as ink.

Ji Jingqiu quickly realized the "uneasiness" that Huang Fuxing mentioned.

In the past, the Supreme Buddha who was sitting in meditation lowered his head at this moment, his eyes full of pain and struggle. Ji Jingqiu could even hear a roar that was almost like that of a wild beast.

"What... is this?" Ji Jingqiu was deeply shocked by this scene.

Those black silk threads should be the source of faith in the Supreme Buddha!
"His divine authority is corrupting, his will is being coerced by his followers, and he is caught in a struggle for his autonomy."

Hela said calmly.

"This is the backlash of all spirits."

Ji Jingqiu was slightly stunned. The backlash of all spirits?
"Of course, the fact that He has fallen to this point is inextricably linked to His previous state of semi-chaos."

Hela looked coldly at the Supreme Buddha not far away, without a single favorable impression.

"A sober god at least has the power to choose his believers, but he is like an irrational beast, greedily absorbing all the power of faith. This does make him stronger by any means necessary, but it also deepens his corruption and depravity."

"In the end, He will completely become an evil god."

"Of course, considering His size and status, these powers of faith will not have much impact on Him. They will just make Him feel uncomfortable for a while."

The power of faith, the will of believers...

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath and roughly guessed the source of the black threads.

"You said before that the ocean of the mind is a cemetery. Whose cemetery is it?" he asked again.

This time.

Hela did not hide it any more and whispered:
"It is the cemetery of the gods."

Ji Jingqiu looked into the distance, and he seemed to understand a little bit what "the backlash of all spirits" meant, but he was still missing many key things.

He will continue to explore.

……

……

Federation, 5 stars west.

Zhang Chongba wiped his face. After the recent days of running around and toiling, he couldn't help but feel a little tired even with his physique in the shackles. This tiredness came not only from the body, but also from the mind.

"How is the recent index fluctuation of the Mind Plague?"

A figure walked in quickly, it was Leng Dao.

Zhang Chongba heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks to my brother, we sent a group of people away earlier, and the index of this city has stabilized."

"Can they settle down there?" Leng Dao frowned and said, "Recently, many transport ships have been stopped and forbidden to leave the west."

Zhang Chongba said, "Who dares to stop the Ke family's transport ship? At worst, they will be able to arrange it properly. Our brother is really promising. The Ke family's transport ship is sent as soon as he says so!"

Leng Dao frowned and said, "You didn't tell Jing Qiu much, did you?"

Zhang Chongba sighed, "I know. My brother is too young and has never seen such a thing. If he gets carried away after seeing something, it will not end well in the end."

After that, he laughed at himself and said, "Didn't we do the same thing back then? Didn't we end up in a mess until our elders came out to speak in good faith?"

Leng Dao was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "When I break through to the heavenly realm, I will challenge those people."

Zhang Chongba was in high spirits and gave a thumbs up:
"support!"

After all, the Federation is a world ruled by gods and men.

If you can’t become a god, you will always be a “young generation”.

Fortunately, they all have hope of breaking through this last barrier and changing this fucked up world.

"I hope Jingqiu doesn't come to the West." Leng Dao whispered.

He once told Ji Jingqiu that the current federation is too big and one person's voice is too weak. If you want everyone to pay attention to you, you must be tied to certain people and become their center or reliance. You must unite a certain group of people and expand your influence and your voice...

He once thought that Jingqiu had hope of reaching the end of this road, and now it seems that they were not wrong.

Before that, they hoped that Ji Jingqiu could walk more steadily, without taking any risks, and just move forward step by step...

"Okay, let's get to work. Damn it, the damn Sima family has sealed off this place so thoroughly. They're not giving these people any chance to survive."

Zhang Chongba cursed in a low voice and was the first to walk out of the underground safe room.

He pushed open the security door.

The ruins before my eyes were devastated, the ground was bumpy, the overpass in the distance was broken, the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning, there were craters and cracks everywhere, and there were people standing in the ruins, unaware of the future...

Zhang Chongba remained silent.

……

……

"Nephew Ji! This is the Luo family's unique 'Cangmei wine'. Although it is not as good as the Ke family's spiritual wine, it is also quite unique. Come on, fill it up!"

During the dinner, with the melodious music playing, all the guests were happy, toasting each other and creating a lively atmosphere.

This room is located in a huge manor, with bright lights. The interior is not overly gorgeous or magnificent, but every carving reveals the unique luxury of the noble family in a low-key manner.

The whole manor is filled with the aroma of wine, and the surroundings are as quiet as a paradise, free from dust.

This is West 4 Mo Star, Anqing Metropolitan Area, and also the territory of the Hanhai Luo Family.

The former Hanhai lineage, in the evolution of later generations, turned into a martial arts family, and now is even ranked among the thousand-year-old martial arts families.

In this field, even though there are great masters of heaven and earth, it is just a threshold.

The Jinxing Zhang family of the Shenwei Group has been planning for hundreds of years, but is still far from this level. In this life, they place all their hopes on Zhang Buzhou.

The middle-aged man who raised his glass to signal Ji Jingqiu at this moment was none other than Luo Xuansha, the ancestor of the Hanhai Luo family.

In addition to the important members of the Luo family, those present at today's dinner also include the main official personnel of West 4 Mo Star and the leaders of the local planetary forces. Only those with such identities are allowed to enter.

"I heard that nephew Ji was very popular in the Ke family not long ago? I wonder if I can also see the unique magical power displayed by nephew?"

Luo Xuansha took the initiative to speak.

He looks only in his thirties or forties, but his actual age is more than ten times that. He has white hair on his temples, a mature and experienced temperament, a casual and free-spirited look, and a sense of elegance.

At this moment, he smiled with a hint of sarcasm, and his words revealed kindness.

Ji Jingqiu had no reason to refuse.

A celestial being took the initiative to call him his nephew and wanted to help him in martial arts. Who in the Federation could refuse?

After seeing Ji Jingqiu's [The Beginning of One Yuan], Luo Xuansha praised him generously, and then with the vision of a god, he broke through Ji Jingqiu's magical power, put forward his personal views, and improved some details for Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu benefited a lot and raised his glass to toast.

"Hahaha, nephew Ji is extremely talented. Tonight we must get drunk. When you become an immortal in the future, my Luo family may be able to take advantage of your fame." Luo Xuansha smiled.

This genius from the Luo family seemed to be very optimistic about Ji Jingqiu, and the person drinking with him was the helmsman of the Luo family.

Tonight there are all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, fine wines, and everything else. Luo Xuansha even gave Ji Jingqiu a strange smile and arranged for two women to accompany him.

Ji Jingqiu finally got rid of the sugar coating and escaped from the dinner party.

He used the excuse of going out for some fresh air, walked out of the banquet hall, and walked along the corridor lined with red pillars. In the distance, the night was deep, but the city was brightly lit under the night sky. In terms of prosperity and scale, it was even larger than Tai'an City.

Ji Jingqiu stood by the guardrail, the drunkenness gone, and glanced around, frowning slightly.

Didn’t they say that the war in the West never stops?

This city is exceptionally peaceful, without any trace of war smoke.

"Brother Ji! What's wrong with you? Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want us to help you?" A young man strode out. He had a young face and a worried expression. He was the eldest son of the next generation of the Luo family, named Luo Tianyou.

Although he is not yet old enough to practice martial arts, he has already started practicing standing meditation in advance, because this kid is a natural martial artist!
As soon as he was born, he was listed as the next generation patriarch of the Luo family and was brought up by Luo Xuansha since he was a child.

He admired Ji Jingqiu extremely and regarded him as an idol. He claimed that he had watched the video of Ji Jingqiu challenging the seventh level of Baiyujing countless times.

Thinking of the video of "beating the old man violently", Ji Jingqiu felt rarely embarrassed.

"I'm fine, I just came out for a walk."

Ji Jingqiu smiled, his eyes turned to the distant metropolitan area, and asked,

"Tianyou, is the Anqing metropolitan area peaceful recently?"

"Ah? Of course it's peaceful!" Luo Tianyou wrinkled his nose, "We have our ancestors here, who dares to come to Anqing City and act recklessly?"

Ji Jingqiu asked again: "What about Xi Moxing?"

Luo Tianyou looked confused.

Ji Jingqiu knew he had asked the wrong person.

"It's okay, let's go back."

On the way back, Luo Tianyou volunteered: "Brother Ji, please stay for a few more days. I will take you to visit the famous attractions of our West 4 Mo Star."

Ji Jingqiu smiled and nodded slightly.

Back at the dinner party, everyone was toasting each other again. Ji Jingqiu seized the opportunity and asked Luo Xuansha in a low voice when no one was paying attention.

Luo Xuansha's hand holding the cup paused in mid-air, his eyes suddenly became deep. He stared at Ji Jingqiu quietly, bringing him an unspeakable pressure.

This is the celestial warrior, who is completely different from those below the celestial being. That is why there are boundaries between gods and humans, and even the saying of divine prohibitions.

Luo Xuansha's voice was full of concern, and he whispered, "Don't worry, nephew. I can absolutely guarantee your safety here. I will personally accompany you to visit the Sima family when the time comes."

Ji Jingqiu's eyes moved slightly. Is this a hint?

Luo Xuansha put down his wine glass, patted Ji Jingqiu gently, and said calmly:

“Don’t look at or care about some things, and your life will be much easier, and the road ahead will be much smoother.”

"Come!"

He raised his glass again and said with a smile: "Nephew, as long as you stay with me, there will be plenty of wine and drinks, and all the treatment will be up to the standard of heaven!"

Ji Jingqiu was a little overwhelmed by this person's enthusiasm, so they had to drink until late at night before they finally went their separate ways.

Ji Jingqiu walked into the guest room arranged for him by the Luo family, slowly paced to the courtyard of the detached house, looked up at the morning stars in the sky, and slowly the drunkenness dissipated from his body.

The trip was somewhat different from what he had imagined, and when he arrived, he was treated with the same respect as before.

The gods drink with him, and the most promising person in the thousand-year-old martial arts family is his fanboy...

"What can you see here?"

The sudden unfamiliar voice made Ji Jingqiu suddenly alert.

At this moment, there are two celestial beings in this manor, including Master Sui. Who is this person who can hide from their perception quietly?

He turned his head and saw a middle-aged man wearing a federal marshal's uniform, with sword-like eyebrows slanting into his temples, a face as sharp as a knife, a strong body, and a majestic demeanor.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes fixed, and he asked solemnly, "Is it Senior Xin from the Third Army?"

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and said frankly and calmly: "I am Xin Lie."

The third military leader of the Federation, a powerful man who had already reached the second level of heaven and man.

Ji Jingqiu had heard this person's story before.

When he was preparing to reverse the evidence of the innate, he looked through the information collected by the Longhu Dojo, among which was the "past" of this person, which was still fresh in his memory.

Because this opportunity to prove the innate is very special——

It's a bowl of wontons.

According to records, this man was born in a war-torn area in the western region. On his eighth birthday, he suddenly wanted to eat wontons. His mother went out to buy meat filling and dough for him, but encountered a gunfight with rebels and never returned home.

This incident was like a thorn that pierced his heart deeply.

Later, he tried countless flavors of wontons, but he still couldn't find the taste that belonged to his mother in his memory. He was stuck at the stage of rebelling against his innate nature for two full years.

Finally, on his nineteenth birthday, he returned to his hometown, went to the streets to buy flour and minced meat, returned to his already dilapidated home, made himself a bowl of wontons, and finally let go of the past.

After his rise, he became one of the main figures in the federation who insisted on implementing a high-pressure policy towards the West.

Xin Lie said calmly: "I have received the message from the Lord God. Come with me. You will never see what you want to see here."

Ji Jingqiu seemed a little hesitant, should he inform Master Sui?
"Think carefully before you leave." Xin Lie put his hands behind his back and said with deep eyes, "You will be the honored guest of the family here, and almost all your requests can be met. But if you leave here, you will not be able to enjoy these special courtesies."

Ji Jingqiu was speechless. What was this?
"Senior, let's go."

Xin Lie didn't say anything more, just nodded, put his hand on Ji Jingqiu's shoulder, tore the space crack in one step, and stepped into it.

……

……

The next morning.

Luo Tianyou ran into a leisurely courtyard in a hurry.

"Ancestor, Brother Ji is missing!"

Luo Xuansha suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, his mind swept across the entire Anqing urban area, and then continued to spread until it covered the entire West 4 Mo Star.

This method was not concealed at all and attracted Sui Canghai's attention.

After a moment, Luo Xuansha said angrily: "Mr. Sui, what exactly are you planning to do by bringing nephew Ji here? Do you want him to stand against those people?!"

Sui Canghai remained silent. His mind also swept across West 4 Mo Star and he only asked one question:
"The Hanhai Luo family, a thousand-year-old martial arts family, can't even protect a planet?"

Luo Tianyou on the side looked confused, not knowing what this person meant.

However, Luo Xuansha's expression suddenly darkened, and he almost cried out through his teeth:
"What do you know?!"

Sui Canghai said calmly: "I have been confused all my life, but in the end I understood three words - no compromise."

A terrifying aura suddenly filled the air, tearing the entire courtyard apart in an instant, which horrified Luo Tianyou. He had never seen the ancestor so angry.

Luo Xuansha restrained his breath, remained silent for a moment, calmed down, and then said coldly:

"People who don't have to consider anything and have no burdens speak with such confidence."

"I won't say any more to you, get out!"

After Sui Canghai left, Luo Xuansha was silent for a long time, then said to Luo Tianyou beside him:
"Tianyou, ask your father to take you to find Ji Jingqiu. After you find him, tell him that the Hanhai Luo family has carefully prepared a rare treasure for him, which was taken from the depths of the ocean of the soul. As long as he comes back, he will still be a distinguished guest of the Hanhai lineage."

Luo Tianyou nodded hurriedly and left in a hurry, feeling that his ancestor seemed so strange at this moment.

After Luo Tianyou left, Luo Xuansha no longer concealed his heavy expression.

The current situation in the West was not decided by one or two companies. It has already become a mess and cannot be sorted out.

He didn't want Ji Jingqiu to get involved during this period of time. No matter what choice Ji Jingqiu made, it would cause a domino reaction.

He was indeed optimistic about Ji Jingqiu's future and believed that this kid had a promising future, but it was his future that was promising, not his present.

Once he comes into conflict with certain people, even he would not be able to bet the entire Luo family for Ji Jingqiu.

Heavenly being?

All below heaven are ants.

And even if he becomes a celestial being, in the eyes of those people, he still cannot cause much waves!

……

……

"This is your ID. You can use it to travel through the western part of the Federation."

"When you have finished walking around this planet and need to go to the next place, you can contact me."

Finally, Xin Lie confirmed: "Do you need me to protect you on this journey?"

Ji Jingqiu shook his head. He had already broken free from the fifth shackles. His vitality surged, his unity with nature increased, and the power of heaven and earth he carried also increased. This was a chain reaction.

With his current strength, he can handle it as long as the enemy is not a celestial being.

Xin Lie nodded:

"That would be best. Before I go, I have a question for you."

"Ji Jingqiu, why are you honing your martial arts now?"

Ji Jingqiu was speechless for a moment.

At his current stage, no matter how much he tries, it is nothing more than climbing the road.

Do you need a reason to climb the avenue?

Not required.

The biggest reason is to want to see the scenery of this road.

In the end, Ji Jingqiu bid farewell to Xin Lie and trekked alone between heaven and earth.

……

As Ji Jingqiu disappeared from the public eye.

Even though the Luo family blocked the news as soon as possible, the news that Ji Jingqiu disappeared in the war-torn area in the western part of the Federation still gradually spread.

"Disappeared in the western war zone?! What does he want to do? Does he want to interfere in the war in the west?"

"Ridiculous! Even the federal government can't stop the war. Why is a young man like him getting involved in it? If he really has the heart, it won't be too late for him to become a Grandmaster in the future!"

"Brother Ji disappeared on West 4 Mo Star? Where is he now?"

Some people who were familiar with Ji Jingqiu sent messages to Ji Jingqiu as soon as possible, advising him not to act rashly. The situation in the West was complicated and could not be sorted out at all, and it had already become a mess.

Some people were secretly celebrating, as they had finally waited for the time when Ji Jingqiu would be left alone!

As for those who were really behind the scenes, Ji Jingqiu's sudden behavior made them somewhat unhappy.

"Strengthen the blockade of western information. I don't want to cause a stir in the Federation. I don't want it to be too ugly and end badly."

"He is a young man after all. Let the Sima family find him and bring him back to the Sima family for entertaining."

"Send someone to put pressure on Longhu Dojo and ask them to take good care of their disciples."

"The thing I hate the most has happened. Although Ji Jingqiu is excellent, he is still too 'young' and needs to be polished and sculpted. Find his place."
