Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 255 He stood there like a majestic mountain. (1.3w)

At first, Ji Jingqiu didn't know whether he should have any expectations for this journey.

As he truly entered the "world" of the Western Federation, he gradually fell silent.

During this time, he received a call from Yang Yan.

On the other end of the phone, Yang Yan sighed and told him—

"With my level of cultivation, I can't really teach you anything, but I always feel that no matter how far a warrior has come, he should understand one thing - who is the one who punches."

Ji Jingqiu was clear-headed. It was obvious that the Dragon and Tiger Dojo was under "pressure" from certain forces, but Master Yang and the others were not prepared to pass this pressure on to him. Instead, they supported his decision.

He thanked Master Yang and continued on his way.

On this day.

Ji Jingqiu passed by a peaceful small town, where two of the Hundred Veins, Jiulong and Fuqiu, were located.

The two lineages have long lost their former glory, and the highest one is only a mind-type warrior.

A heart minister, barely qualified to protect the peace in such a war-torn area.

"Fuqiu, the two veins of Jiulong, cannot save the people of the west, and can only save this city. I'm sorry to have embarrassed the fellow Taoists of the Dragon and Tiger Dojo."

The leading old minister sighed and personally came out to entertain Ji Jingqiu. During the reception, he coughed slightly and the room was filled with a faint smell of herbs.

Ji Jingqiu took out a powerful medicine from the suspended small world and forced the senior to stay despite his reluctance.

He discussed Taoism with the two sects, witnessed the martial arts inheritance of Jiulong and Fuqiu, and transformed into two stars, shining in his own inner world.

When Ji Jingqiu was a guest, he found that both clans had taken in many homeless teenagers.

In the courtyard, there are young boys reading, some are learning ancient methods of meditation, and some are chasing and playing in a corner. Such a harmonious scene is enough to relax one's mind.

Although these teenagers have lost their families, they are still full of youthful vigor and are well "protected" here.

Even though life is full of hardships, they still remain positive.

"In the Federation martial arts, the results are too fast in the early stages, which is extremely harmful to the body, so people usually start practicing at the age of sixteen. Before that, the traditions of each lineage teach people to be human first."

Qiu Zhao, the old leader of the Nine Dragons lineage, smiled and introduced Ji Jingqiu. He looked at the young people reading, playing, and sitting quietly in the courtyard, and it seemed that the fatigue in his heart was relieved a lot.

And he is the "guardian" of these teenagers.

Ji Jingqiu knew that the physique of the humans in the Federation was completely inferior to that of other races, and they had almost no blood inheritance.

Before practicing, warriors had almost no way to improve their physical fitness through various technological means.

This is also related to the "curse" of the three demons.

Qiu Guan sighed:
"So the Seven Marshals and even the Great Master of the Hundred Meridians all said that one should learn to be a good person first and then learn martial arts. Only with a strong mind can one control the sudden surge of power. Otherwise, it is easy to go astray."

Ji Jingqiu had heard of a saying that there were more geniuses in the western part of the Federation.

Someone has done statistics and found that warriors coming out of the west are often far superior to warriors from other regions in spiritual practice, but there are also some who take unconventional approaches.

He was once curious, and along the way, he found the answer.

this day.

Ji Jingqiu walked through a half-ruined city, which had just experienced an attack by "rebels".

He helped the people here clean up the rubble and rescue those buried under the rubble.

"Excuse me, are you Ji Jingqiu? The genius Ji Jingqiu from the Dragon and Tiger Dojo?"

As he passed by, a middle-aged man with a look of disbelief reached out and grabbed him tightly with his almost trembling hands.

At that moment, the middle-aged man's eyes burst out with a heat and brightness comparable to the sun, which made Ji Jingqiu look sideways. The former was just an ordinary person with some martial arts skills.

He said that he was a reporter from the central area. They took a lot of photos here, but because the western part had already implemented an information blockade, they wanted to send them out through Ji Jingqiu's channel.

"These photos will definitely help the people of the Western Federation! Mr. Ji, please help us!"

At the end of his speech, he became a little incoherent.

Ji Jingqiu agreed to his request and sent the photos to the warrior forum through his own terminal. This scene was unexpected. Most of the external channels in the west were blocked. Everyone.

While the middle-aged people were dancing with joy, Ji Jingqiu was silently looking at the photos on the terminal.

He did not stop, but continued to move forward.

One day he passed by a wasteland and was recognized by the people there. They warmly invited Ji Jingqiu into their underground fortress, and Ji Jingqiu did not refuse.

Ji Jingqiu was very curious about them, and they were also very curious about Ji Jingqiu. They were curious why the most shining martial arts star in the Federation would appear in a place like theirs.

Ji Jingqiu learned from them that the daily necessities here were all provided to them by a logistics company.

"Those people didn't accept the money, saying that their boss was doing good deeds and they were all good people..."

An old man muttered.

Later, a young girl pulled him to a tombstone. She proudly said that the person lying inside was her father, who, like Ji Jingqiu, was once one of the most talented warriors in the Federation.

Ji Jingqiu connected his mind to the terminal and found the information of the warrior the girl mentioned on the Internet. What caught his eye was a photo of a smiling man.

"Congratulations to Yan Chengrui of the Northern Cang Merchant Alliance for winning the title of Contemporary Heavenly Sword!"

The title of Tianjian means that he once stood on the same level as Leng Dao and was one of the seven most outstanding young people of an era in the Federation.

He was one of the most renowned martial arts geniuses of the last era, but one day he suddenly disappeared from the public eye. No one knew that he had died here in obscurity.

Ji Jingqiu felt a little sad.

The man lying in the cemetery was once a martial arts genius who was full of vigor and ambition.

He gave up his bright future, embarked on a path against the current, and finally collapsed on the way.

There are not so many examples of people going against the current and reaching the end. It is normal in the world to fall down halfway.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly remembered what Master Yang once told him - don't try to be a hero.

It seems that hero has ceased to be a positive word at some point. It is now seen as a tool of power and a stigmatized word...

Are you a hero?

Ji Jingqiu shook his head.

He now just felt that when he had the ability to do something, he should not choose to remain silent.

The girl curiously asked Ji Jingqiu what realm he was in now.

Ji Jingqiu rubbed the girl's head and told her to practice hard and strive to leave this planet.

The girl nodded resolutely and said that her goal was to win the title of Heavenly Sword like her father.

After bidding farewell to this group of people, he continued to walk into the distance, and finally met Huang Fuxing who was staying in a city reduced to ruins.

Ji Jingqiu stood on the ruins with a solemn expression. He felt a huge and invisible force in the void ahead.

That was the power of the mind, as vast as the ocean. He had never seen such terrifying power of the mind.

Even the gods are not as good as them!

This power seems to be connected to the ocean of the mind and may explode at any time.

He couldn't predict what consequences such an explosion would cause...

At this time, Huang Fuxing excitedly found him with his master.

"Jingqiu! This is my teacher, his name is Mu Chengde." Huang Fuxing finally met Ji Jingqiu offline and couldn't wait to introduce him to him.

When Ji Jingqiu heard that the old man's name was Mu Chengde, his expression was slightly strange.

Mu Chengde guessed his thoughts, shook his head and denied his guess. He had no relationship with the Mu family, he just happened to have the surname Mu and then joined the Supreme True Buddha Sect.

Ji Jingqiu pointed ahead and asked, "What is that?"

"Psychic disasters." Mu Chengde explained to him, "Since the emergence of the Psychic Ocean, psychic disasters have become more and more severe. For example, right now, even ordinary people, as long as there is a large-scale death, it may trigger a chain of psychic storms."

"Not only that." Huang Fuxing added, his expression serious, "As long as there is large-scale chaos and negative mental trends, it may cause a 'response' from the mental ocean. This is also the reason why the Federation strictly limits the population of the inhabited planet."

"Our mission here is to try our best to calm it down. Once the mental storm breaks out, the area within a thousand miles will become a dead zone, and the origin of this planet will also be destroyed."

Ji Jingqiu's eyes flickered. The Federation had nearly a hundred galaxies under its jurisdiction, but the population was only in the hundreds of billions. Was this also related to the ocean of the mind?

Mu Chengde sighed:

"Ten thousand years ago, when faced with the issue of the spiritual ocean, even the Seven Marshals had different attitudes."

"Some people believe that people's hearts are downcast, and the existence of the mind ocean will infinitely magnify this point. By then, the Federation will destroy itself without any external force."

"The other few people believe that as long as they are guided, people's hearts will eventually improve. The spiritual ocean is not only not a hidden danger, but will become the greatest help to the Federation, allowing the Federation to embark on a brand new path of evolution..."

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment and then asked, "Is the mental storm here because too many people died around here?"

Mu Chengde sighed:

"Not only that, ordinary people can also cause mental storms, so what do you think of those warriors whose minds are out of control?"

"Ever since the war in the west, a group of warriors who are close to losing control have gradually gathered here, including space pirates, wanted criminals on the blacklist, mercenaries, and even some psychologically twisted warriors... This is a vicious cycle that will never stop."

Ji Jingqiu stared at the spiritual tide surging like an undercurrent in front of him.

He suddenly took a step forward, and a heart lamp lit up between his eyebrows.

Use the fire of the heart as the flame and the light of wisdom as the root to shine in all directions and sweep away all evil!
Under Huang Fuxing's shocked gaze, Ji Jingqiu tried to use the [Heart Flame Universal Lamp] to guide and calm the spiritual tide in front of him.

But in the end, he groaned and took a step back.

Because this is not false.

But his attempt did not seem to be a complete failure.

Mu Chengde was shocked. With the intervention of Ji Jingqiu's unknown magical power, the surging spiritual tide in front of him actually calmed down.

Although it does not lead to elimination, it has the power to calm the waves.

What kind of magical power is this?
Ji Jingqiu put away his magical powers, took a deep breath, and calmed his shocked mind.

Seeing Huang Fuxing's worried look, he shook his head to indicate that he was fine.

Afterwards, he left a heart lamp seed for Mu Chengde and Huang Fuxing respectively.

Although it is impossible to eliminate the spiritual tide, it can at least calm its waves, which should be able to help them.

When Huang Fuxing heard that this kind of magical power of the heart lamp could prevent certain disasters in the ocean of the mind, he did not care, because the [Eternal Bliss Pure Land] of the Supreme True Buddha could make the people of the Supreme True Buddha sect immune to most of the spiritual confusion.

Instead, Mu Chengde accepted it solemnly. He instinctively felt that the nature of this magical power was by no means simple.

Afterwards, in order to demonstrate the sincerity of the Supreme True Buddha Sect, Mu Chengde gave Ji Jingqiu some of the "authorities" of the Supreme True Buddha.

This authority allows him to travel freely to the Buddha's kingdom from now on, without having to worry about being discovered by the true Buddha for his shameful behavior.

After Ji Jingqiu accepted this authority, the first thing he did was to sense the "prayer" that the True Buddha was receiving at the moment.

Those were countless prayers from the western part of the Federation, as chaotic as devilish sounds piercing the ears, and filled with all kinds of negative emotions.

Thanks to Mu Chengde's timely action, Ji Jingqiu finally woke up with a pale face.

"Don't try it. Even if you have achieved fetal breathing, you will not be able to withstand the backlash from all living beings!" Mu Chengde warned.

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

After that, they talked for a long time, ranging from the situation of the Supreme True Buddha Sect to the situation in the west.

At the last moment before parting, Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked:
“Why do they believe in the True Buddha?”

"Because apart from the True Buddha, no one responds to them." Mu Chengde sighed.

Ji Jingqiu nodded without saying anything. The wind in front of him blew from the depths of the vast plain, and he continued to move forward.

Looking at his departing figure, Huang Fuxing said with some concern: "Master, why do I feel that Jingqiu's condition is not good?"

Mu Chengde was still comprehending the magical power seed left by Ji Jingqiu. He experienced great wisdom in this magical power, just like the great mirror wisdom transformed from the Alaya consciousness in the legend. As the wisdom sublimated by the eighth consciousness, it can illuminate everything...

Hearing his disciple's concerns, Mu Chengde sighed, "He is trying to purify his mind and see his true nature. No one can help him at this stage."

I don’t know when.

The sun has risen.

Ji Jingqiu's black hair fluttered in the wind. He looked up at the distant horizon where the sun was rising, but he didn't feel any warmth.

It turns out.

Sunrise does not necessarily mean brightness.

The sun is just a star.

……

……

At first, many people thought that Ji Jingqiu’s “disappearance” was just the “willfulness” unique to young people.

But as this period of time gets longer and longer, one day, one week, half a month, one month...

When this silence continues to brew silently, it is like the thunder behind the clouds. You can't see it or hear it, but you can vaguely feel some kind of deadly danger.

This day.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly released a set of pictures through his own terminal account. Those pictures recorded many terrible scenes, which instantly caused an uproar in all walks of life in the federation.

"Where is he? What are the Luo and Sima families doing? Could it be that even if the gods were dispatched, they still couldn't find him?"

"Why was he able to break through the information blockade in the West?" someone questioned.

"Do we need to ask for instructions? Delete, block, ignore! The authorities rejected our request? Contact Deputy Wang of the Security Bureau for me... He was temporarily arrested by the Security Bureau? Who gave them the power!?"

Some people sensed this potential threat and started to get involved.

Some people also sneer at it, saying that youth means potential, but it also means that potential is far from being realized.

"No need to look for him. Young people are always like this. What can convince others is never the reasoning that their predecessors gained through hard work, but the same old wall."

"Interesting, does this kid really want to be our enemy at a time like this?"

"It's good to be young. You can always be so... ignorant of the immensity of the world."

……

"Fuck, Adao, Jingqiu is in the West!"

Zhang Chongba rushed into the bunker and found Leng Dao, looking excited and worried.

Leng Dao had already seen the photos on the terminal, he just nodded quietly with a calm expression.

He said softly, "This is his choice. We can't interfere. Just do our own thing."

……

Ke family.

Ke Pingluan put away the terminal, staring at the people in front of him with deep eyes. He was always calm, but for the first time he showed his edge and said sternly:
"You have been enjoying the wealth and splendor left by your ancestors since you were born, but you also regard the blood curse left by your ancestors as a bondage. But how can you have both in this world?"

"If our ancestors were still alive, would they allow you to act so recklessly in the West? I'm afraid you would be the first to be killed!"

"Even if you can silence everyone in the world and kill other people, do you want to kill me to eliminate dissidents?! If you don't dare, then when I stand in a high position in the future, how will I look at you?!"

When Ke Pingluan showed his anger for the first time and almost broke off relations with his enemies, all branches of the Ke family fell silent.

They can ignore outsiders, but they cannot ignore the attitudes of their own family members.

If the Ke family really fell into civil war one day, then no matter how glorious they were, they would decline.

Someone whispered, "The West... is indeed a bit late."

"You call this 'after a while'?" someone asked expressionlessly.

"Young ancestor, please understand that the Ke family has no direct involvement in the affairs of the West. The West has come to this point, ultimately driven by historical reasons." An elderly person from the Ke family sighed.

Without even raising his eyelids, Ke Tianjin said: "The Ke family was wrong for not stopping it."

The former was speechless.

For the six major families who inherited the glory of their ancestors, it is not that they are innocent because they did not participate, but that they are guilty because they did not stop it.

not to mention……

……

Tianjian Dojo.

"Grandmaster, my unparalleled swordsmanship has been covered in dust, and I want to go to the west to cleanse my swordsmanship."

Looking at the disciple in front of him who was born with the reputation of "Sword Heart Enlightenment", the Tianren Patriarch of the Tianjian Dojo was silent for a long time and sighed softly:

"Go, use the mortal world as a furnace to sharpen your swordsmanship, and then come back alive."

Yin Wushuang stood up, bowed deeply, and turned to leave.

……

Hanhai Academy.

"Dean, I want to experience the true heart of heaven." Yue Yourong said with a firm expression.

What she cultivated was the [Heaven's Heart and My Will Body]. This Taoist body was the common crystallization of the ten great universities. No one had ever succeeded in cultivating it before her. But now that she had reached this point, she felt a little confused. The will of heaven was difficult to ask, so what exactly was the heart of heaven?

At this moment, Yue Yourong felt an unspeakable impulse in his heart.

It seemed as if a voice was urging her to leave, telling her to go west, where she would find the answer.

The old dean rubbed the girl's head lovingly, "Go, the seven marshals in the past all had to see the world and all living beings, and you are just a little early."

……

Pure Yang Taoism.

Yin Tianping looked at the junior brother in front of him and said in a deep voice: "You want to go to the west? Do you know what this means? There are some areas there where even celestial beings may be in danger."

Zhang Buzhou said in a deep voice: "I don't want to lose to him!"

Yin Tianping took a deep look at his junior fellow apprentice, then suddenly laughed and said firmly:

"Then go!"

"I am from the Pure Yang lineage and I am never afraid of anyone!"

……

The wind started at the end of Qingping.

Waves are formed from ripples.

Ji Jingqiu had no idea for the time being what kind of uproar had been caused on the Internet after his photos were released, nor did he know how many people were looking for him.

He did not pay attention to the subsequent public opinion because he was standing at the intersection of sadness and joy, and there were more things worth witnessing for him.

And after this day.

Gradually, many young people broke through the blockades from all parties and entered the western battlefield to witness the reality of this world with their own eyes and challenge the so-called "tradition" in the eyes of the bigwigs.

They are Yin Wushuang, Yue Yourong, Diao Xingyun, Zhang Buzhou...

The firefly is so tiny, I wish to be its light.

It is like a tiny ray of light, which turns into sunlight.

……

……

In the ruins, several figures walked out of the void. Yuan Tongcun of the Moro Cult frowned and said:
"Missed it again."

After learning that Ji Jingqiu had "disappeared" in the western region, Yuan Tongcun knew that the opportunity the archbishop had mentioned had arrived.

He led two mind-sensing warriors from the Moro Cult, and even paid for Blood Sword, who was on the Federation's blacklist. Before falling into the blacklist, the latter was a top master in the top 30 of the Potential Dragon List.

But during this period of searching for Ji Jingqiu, the best result was always just one step away!
This feeling made them feel very bad, as if what separated them and Ji Jingqiu was not distance, but fate.

Always one step away!
It was as if Ji Jingqiu knew of their existence, but didn't want to see them.

"Is this the effect of the spiritual fetal breathing? It senses our presence and always leaves one step ahead of us?"

The other heart-phase warrior had a serious look on his face.

Yuan Tongcun frowned, looking a little ugly.

This encirclement and suppression operation was far from as smooth as they had expected.

……

this day.

Someone still found Ji Jingqiu, and they were two celestial beings.

One of them concealed his identity, hid in the dark, and attacked Ji Jingqiu directly. Facing the full-strength attack of a celestial warrior, Ji Jingqiu immediately prepared to fight for his life.

Even Hela in the inner world had a gloomy face and was ready to sacrifice this clone.

But in the end, the appearance of another celestial being resolved the life-and-death crisis that Ji Jingqiu was facing.

With his action, the celestial being in the dark quietly disappeared.

The celestial warrior who came to help was from the Pei family.

The Pei family is a thousand-year-old martial arts family in the Federation. The leader of this generation is named Pei Jing. According to Zhuang Yanxing of Tianji Dojo, he is a young man with white hair, a cold face and a sultry heart.

Ji Jingqiu had dealt with him before.

The Pei family is not one of the Hundred Clans, but their ancestral star is also in the western region.

This celestial being from the Pei family was obviously entrusted by someone to come here specifically to look for Ji Jingqiu. It seemed that he did not find Ji Jingqiu on the first day, but had been observing him secretly for several days.

"Thank you, Senior Pei, for your help." Ji Jingqiu expressed his gratitude solemnly and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was injured in the brief collision just now.

Pei Jinxiu looked at Ji Jingqiu and sighed softly: "Nephew Ji, this is not the place for you to come."

He looked expressionlessly at the refugees not far ahead, his face as cold and hard as iron, as if he was already accustomed to it.

他 说:

"Nephew Ji, you are already standing at the top of the Federation, why do you still need to lower your head and bend your body? Don't go any further, it's meaningless."

"When you see these scenes, don't feel sad or disappointed, because there is no need. Many years later, when you grow up, you will see and experience more tragic scenes than this. This is just the first relatively "novel" experience in your life."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly stopped, a little dazed.

Pei Jinxiu thought she had convinced him and sighed:
"Nephew Ji, go back, go back to the world that belongs to you. The water in the west is too muddy, it's not worth it for you to wade through it now."

"Life is too long. The gains and losses of others are nothing compared to your own vast future and the road ahead."

Ji Jingqiu sincerely thanked this person for his kindness.

He could feel that this person was sincerely persuading him to leave.

The reason why he was stunned before was because he suddenly remembered the suspended journey on the ancient road.

In the end, after hesitating for a moment, the Pei family's celestial being did not choose to take action by force and take Ji Jingqiu away.

He vaguely sensed that Ji Jingqiu seemed to have triggered a mental storm on this planet...

This feeling made him feel incredible, but he did not want to gamble, nor did he intend to offend Ji Jingqiu. In the end, he sighed and chose to leave.

Before leaving, he told Ji Jingqiu that he would help him keep an eye on the person who had attacked earlier, but not for too long. He hoped that Ji Jingqiu would take care of himself and turn back as soon as possible.

Ji Jingqiu continued on his journey.

He watched the sunset and sunrise, and every breath he took was a bridge connecting heaven and earth.

Every breath you take is a form of practice.

As for Hela in the inner world, she would occasionally taunt him, but was silent most of the time.

She vaguely felt that with every step Ji Jingqiu took, the heart moon between his eyebrows became brighter.

What does this heart moon represent?
……

In the third month of Ji Jingqiu's journey to the west, he passed by a once prosperous city. Under the cover of night, the city was already deserted, as if it had been run over by the wheels of the gods.

Ji Jingqiu stopped briefly.

He felt that this was the way many things should end.

It wasn't a loud bang.

But it was a sob that no one heard.

The world is vast and crowded, but there is no light and no place for them to make their voices heard.

Along the way, he witnessed many tragedies.

The word war itself is synonymous with original sin.

He had witnessed warriors dying at the hands of federal technology, a kind of infrasonic weapon. These warriors had no external injuries, but their internal organs were all twisted and ruptured, their brains became a mess, and they died in a very tragic way.

He had seen a boy squatting with a puppy on the side of a road covered with weeds. His eyes were alert and he looked more like a beast than a human.

He also saw a girl holding a doll, crying and kneeling in front of a collapsed building. Her mother was buried underneath without being able to escape, with only one arm exposed...

He protected the boy and girl in silence, sent them to a safe area, and then continued on his way. He began to think.

What exactly did the Four Gods want him to see?
Is it simply the suffering of all living beings?

In this kind of thinking, he gradually lost his way.

Until this day.

The air raid sirens sounded over the city he passed by, and countless people hurriedly passed by him. Some people suddenly stopped, pulled him, and shouted to run...

He woke up from his confusion, raised his head, raised his fist to meet the attack, and his fist mark crossed the sky, resonating with the heaven and earth. The power of his fist spanned a distance of more than ten kilometers and wiped out the missiles flying from the sky in one fell swoop!
The explosion sounded high in the sky, and the storm caused by the shock wave quickly swept across the city. He stood alone in the middle of the street, the wind blew his messy hair and his clothes fluttered.

"You are... Ji Jingqiu?"

A hesitant voice came from behind.

Ji Jingqiu turned around.

After seeing the other person's face clearly, he was rarely stunned.

After a long time, he said in a trance:
"You are... intentional?"

When he was just starting out and still staying on the East 3 Huang Star, he once carried out missions for the Security Bureau with his senior brother Yang Yao.

That night, they wiped out a new gang in the lower world, whose leader was called Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan has a younger sister, who was sent to the Xingchen Group by him.

Ji Jingqiu still remembers that day. It was in an alley that cut straight through the sky above their heads and was so narrow that only two people could walk side by side.

The girl named Cheng Xin lowered her head and told him that when they were young, she and her brother liked to look up at the sky, but there were no stars or even any light in the sky below. They had no way, no way to go.

She stared at Ji Jingqiu and repeated stubbornly:

【We have no way to go! 】

"Is it really you?!" the young woman said in surprise, "Yes, I did it on purpose. Do you still remember me?!"

Ji Jingqiu nodded. When the guardian god left, severed all worldly ties, and saved himself and others, it also included a cause and effect relationship with Cheng Xin.

He did not forget that night when she stood deliberately on the lower floor and looked up. In the narrow and crowded steel forest, a ray of sunlight fell directly into her eyes.

It seems like someone is saying -

There is still a road ahead.

Cheng Xin is still at the True Seed Realm and has not chosen a superior body, which makes Ji Jingqiu somewhat confused.

Cheng Xin was only one step away from the fifth level of heavenly being back then. Even if he had reached the intermediate level of cultivation, he should have completed it by now.

"follow me!"

He deliberately pulled him and ran forward quickly.

The two ran into a safe house hidden underground. There were many young faces inside, looking at him timidly, and then surrounding Cheng Xin.

He stroked their heads lovingly, distributed food to them, then patted their shoulders and told them to go to the inner room.

Only then did the two have time to chat.

"Were those attackers just now the rebels nearby?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

Along the way, he had already learned that the so-called rebel army was more of a cover, and some forces were secretly starting wars everywhere under the banner of "rebel army".

Cheng Xin nodded, his eyes revealing deep hatred as he said, "In fact, everyone knows that those are mercenaries and space pirates under the Sima family. The reason they attacked here is because a new mineral vein was recently discovered near this city."

"Sima family..." Ji Jingqiu murmured softly.

He had heard this name many times during this trip.

"When did you come to the West?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

"It's been almost two years. That was when you were emerging in the heartland."

Under the bunker, the two men sat inside, chatting like long-lost friends.

"You have been staying here for the past two years?"

"We stopped and went, and visited several planets, but they were all in the west."

"Is it always like this?" He looked at the children in the depths.

"This place is actually pretty good." Cheng Xin suddenly said, "By the way, I have to thank you!"

"Thank me?" Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

"Yes!" Cheng Xin said solemnly, "The photos you posted on the martial arts forum not long ago made many people really start to pay attention to the West. I am actually still listed under the name of the Star Group. Since you sent those photos, people from the Star Group found me and sent a lot of supplies here through me!"

"After all, you are the biggest rising martial arts star in the Federation. Your attitude will attract people's attention!"

He deliberately curved his lips into a smile.

Compared to more than two years ago, she seems to have changed a lot, becoming more cheerful and energetic.

Ji Jingqiu didn't say anything.

As he traveled through the country, he became very clear about one thing: the chaos and war in the West were not just the result of one or two families, but the product of the interweaving of many forces in the federation.

Over the past ten thousand years, the West has long become the "garbage dump" of the federal government and a place for all parties to resolve conflicts.

The Sima family is just one of them.

Like the so-called minerals, the forces here have long been accustomed to obtaining them through brutal means.

Federal law does not cover this area.

"How long do you plan to stay here? You should have somewhere else to go, right?" Cheng Xin asked, lifting up her hair that had been messed up by the wind.

Ji Jingqiu came back to his senses and nodded: "I can't stay in one place for long, some people are looking for me."

"Is it the person behind you who wants to take you back?" he asked tentatively.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head: "There are those who don't want me to cause trouble, and there are also those who want to kill me."

Cheng Xin said softly, "It seems that the Federation's number one genius has a lot of troubles."

Ji Jingqiu smiled and suddenly said, "It won't be that soon."

Cheng Xin looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What realm are you in now?"

Only then did Ji Jingqiu focus on his own martial arts skills.

"Not long ago, I broke through the sixth shackle on the road."

He rubbed his brows. This was the autonomous cultivation of the divine fetus. He had reached the end of the conventional shackles realm, but had not reached his own end.

Theoretically, he still has the seventh shackles.

But at this moment, he found that his divine sense could not sense the existence of these heavy shackles.

He could confirm the seventh shackle located between his eyebrows through the divine fetus, but he could not sense it through divine perception.

How do I turn this on?
He was rarely confused.

"So fast." Cheng Xin exclaimed, "As expected, he is the number one martial arts genius in the Federation."

"Are you going to stay here?"

"Yeah." Cheng Xin looked inside the house, "At least we have to wait until these little guys are sent away."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly said: "You have changed a lot, and you are completely different from before."

Cheng Xin was stunned for a moment, nodded silently, and said softly: "That day, I seemed to see my brother. He was still so taciturn and as hard as a stone. But at his signal, I saw a ray of light falling into the lower world. There is still a way to go in this world, as long as there is someone leading the way."

"So, you are here to lead the way for them?"

Cheng Xin smiled and said, "I'm just doing what I can. Wait a moment, I'll get you something to eat."

When Chengxin came out with a bowl of noodles.

Ji Jingqiu had already left, leaving only a phone number on the table.

He walked out of the bunker and onto the streets again, wandering aimlessly.

“Do you feel that the heart moon between your eyebrows is getting brighter and brighter?” Hela finally couldn’t help but spoke.

Ji Jingqiu sensed the heart moon between his eyebrows. At some point, this heart moon seemed to merge with his heart lamp.

He triggered this heart moon and suddenly stopped.

He raised his head and stood there blankly.

In a trance, he seemed to see a pair of pure eyes with waves of life flowing in the dark, shimmering and flickering in the void, attracting the remaining traces of all living beings on this planet, staring at him silently.

Hela in the inner world suddenly changed color.

Is this... the will of the planet?
more than!

Why could she still sense the rhythm of the dark sea? !
At this moment, Ji Jingqiu heard crying sounds beside his ears.

It was all the spirits on this planet crying, even the planet was wailing.

He seemed to hear...

The hum of the ocean of the soul.

He was silent for a long time.

Is it his heart light that illuminates all living beings, or is it that the heart light of all living beings enters his heart?

Are they talking to themselves?
He stayed where he was, through a long dark night, until at dawn he heard the rising noise.

That was the sound of gunfire.

After a night, yesterday's rebels attacked again. This was the Federation's conventional method of warfare. They first used artillery fire to clear the area, and then warriors to clear the area.

"Brother Ji! Come with us!"

A familiar figure appeared. It was a young man, Luo Tianyou from the Luo family.

Behind him was his father, the current patriarch of the Luo family, Luo Shangye.

They finally found Ji Jingqiu on this day.

When the latter saw Ji Jingqiu, his eyelids twitched slightly and his expression was horrified. Having already entered the heart phase, he sensed a very dangerous aura from Ji Jingqiu.

Even if he has no chance of becoming a celestial being, he is still a mental being. How could Ji Jingqiu have such a creepy aura? He is clearly just a shackle!
It has only been a short time, and he seems to have made another step forward, but during this period of time... where did he get the resources?
Luo Shangye said in a deep voice: "Jingqiu, please leave with us first. Although the Sima family did not take action personally, they hired experts from the black list to clean up this place. In addition, we have received news that a group of people have been tracking your footsteps with malicious intentions!"

Ji Jingqiu shook his head: "Thank you Uncle Luo, I just figured out some things and I have to do something next."

The moment I saw Chengxin.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly understood what the Four Gods Lords really wanted him to see.

It is not just about how miserable all living beings are. All people in the world are in a burning house, and all spirits are struggling to cross...

But in this messy world, there are always people who take flowers and mend things everywhere.

They are the flower at the end of the thorns, the sunrise on the mountain, and the reason why this world is still worth living.

The seven handsome men ten thousand years ago were.

Huang Fuxing and his apprentice are.

Senior Yan is.

So does the logistics company that risked its life to transport daily necessities to the refugees.

This includes intentional ones.

A few years ago, someone once said to him, Ji Jingqiu, don’t be anxious. Before you become a mountain that you can rely on, there will always be someone willing to be your mountain.

So, who will be their mountain?
"Brother Ji, are you going to save the people in this city and fight against the Sima family's star pirates?"

Luo Tianyou suddenly spoke up. He mustered up his courage, stared at Ji Jingqiu, and asked,

"Brother Ji, why do you want to get yourself into trouble for people who have nothing to do with you? Is it really worth it? Is it more important to pursue what is right, or is chaos the norm?"

During this period of time, he walked out of the Luo family's door, saw the real world, and encountered many confusing crossroads. The education he received since childhood told him that they should take action.

But my father said that this is helpless and also the reality. Sometimes being right is not important, but "tradition" is important. The Luo family has no way to go against it and can only choose to adapt.

This set of rhetoric made Luo Tianyou fall into deeper confusion.

He hoped Ji Jingqiu could give him an answer.

Ji Jingqiu patted his shoulder and said nothing more, only three words:

"look at me."

It is rumored that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the temples all lower their heads and look down, and do not look at sentient beings. It is because of the suffering of sentient beings that if they saw them, they would be unable to resist the urge to save the world. However, once they enter the world to save the world, they will also suffer and overcome the calamity like sentient beings.

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath, and the smell of gunpowder filled his lungs.

He heard wailing all around.

Life has always been fragile.

It is so fragile that the aftermath of artillery fire can easily take away countless lives.

The figure who was laughing in the previous second may be lying on the cold ground forever in the next second.

The world has handed the power of destruction into the hands of all spirits, but has never given them the authority of resurrection.

Ji Jingqiu has understood this since childhood.

The world is cruel.

Sometimes just wanting to be alive is a luxury.

this moment.

He looked out at the city under the vast night sky, and his pupils, which had been confused for a long time, suddenly became clear.

He stood in the midst of the approaching storm.

It is like majestic peaks and steep mountains.

A great determination has been formed, and that determination is as sharp as a long sword.

Suddenly, the sound of wind was heard between heaven and earth.

At this moment, the wind in the city gathered from all directions along an unknown trajectory, forming a slowly falling wind vortex in the sky.

The vast void energy that only the gods can draw is pouring down at this moment and pouring into Ji Jingqiu's body.

He raised his head and saw the Heart Moon shining brightly. This planet was responding to his soul and answering all his needs.

Luo Shangye looked horrified.

This level of unity between man and nature...

It’s definitely more than 70%!!

But how is this possible? !
Ji Jingqiu suddenly smiled with relief.

Because at this moment, he saw his own mental world.

It was an afternoon on a summer street.

Next to the sleeping boy on the bench at the end of the street, there seemed to be a figure sitting with his back to him.

That figure had once been as unshakable as a sacred mountain, blocking a brief period of wind and rain for him.

……

That year, someone broke into Ji Jingqiu's mental world without permission.

He hoped that the boy could be a more selfish sun in the future.

Becoming the sun is not to hang high in the sky and illuminate the world, but to illuminate the land around us, a pure land that belongs to us alone.

He always felt that if a person with infinite selfishness gradually began to become great, his selfishness would gradually extend from "himself" to the world...

This is probably a saint, right?
He said, Ji Jingqiu, isn’t the goal of becoming a saint too big?

Then let’s change it.

Ji Jingqiu, you must be invincible in the world.

……

Some things may be simple from beginning to end.

When you don’t know which way to go, ask your seniors.

Ji Jingqiu responded in his heart:
Ok.

this moment.

All the spiritual beings in the west felt a sense of connection, as if burning incense sticks, but they no longer prayed to the gods, but instead gathered towards a certain place with a common hope.

The countless shining spiritual lights of all living beings, under some invisible guidance, flooded Ji Jingqiu's mind and pointed out the way to the seventh shackles for him.

The shackles of the world are just dreams, they are invisible, formless and without self.

At this moment, his soul was like a full moon, shining with golden light, and there was no more doubt in his heart. In Buddhist scriptures, this is a sign of enlightenment for those who have attained enlightenment.

He said.

He wants to stop the war in the West.

He dares to change the sun and the moon and create a new world.

There was no longer any dissenting voice in the federation that he wanted to attack.

……

The ancestral home of the Mu family.

Mu Juncheng looked up suddenly, and saw the green lamp that had been dim and silent for thousands of years suddenly shone brightly at this moment!
The light is not dazzling, but it carries a warm power that illuminates the depths of people's hearts and guides all living beings to the other shore.

The vague Buddhist chanting, which I once thought was just an illusion, gradually became vast and majestic.

It lingers throughout the ancient temple, like the vibration of Huangzhong and Dalu, solemn and grand.

The entire ancient temple was free of dust and dirt, and it was clean as if the six-character mantra was ringing.

Mu Juncheng looked confused. What was going on? !

……

Qin family.

The Heavenly Sword clanged and rang, hanging above the girl's head.

Qin Qingjue swept her eyes across the crowd and spoke word by word:

"The Qin family's way is to follow the will of heaven and make up for the deficiencies of heaven!"

……

The supreme Buddhist kingdom.

The pure white Buddha sitting in the center of the Buddha's kingdom woke up briefly at this moment.

His eyes were filled with deep fatigue. He pierced through the void and saw a towering figure like a mountain. He murmured with relief in his eyes:

"You need to... be faster..."

……

"You are crazy! Do you know what you are doing? You are absorbing the power of faith and wishes of all living beings!"

In the inner world, Hela had an ugly look on her face, as if she was watching Ji Jingqiu walk down a wrong path from which there would be no turning back, and she almost roared at Ji Jingqiu.

And at this moment, the guardian deity gently spread out his palms, and the vast power of faith and wish seemed to have found a home and surged away.

That is a fighting Buddha.

He was reborn in Nirvana in the sea of ​​suffering, with his hands clasped together, chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

……

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu is undergoing a transformation.

It was not known whether it was the light of the hearts of all living beings, the planets, or the response of the ocean of the mind that pointed him to the path leading to the seventh shackle.

He has moved forward courageously on this path.

At this moment.

Ji Jingqiu had a clear and flawless spirit, burning like fire, surging and surging in his body, erupting from every pore. They converged into streams and rivers, intertwining between heaven and earth, and merging with heaven and earth.

Under this spirit, Luo Shangye and Luo Tianyou both had an illusion that the world seemed to have become extremely narrow and small, unable to accommodate this infinitely high spirit.

at this time,

A blood-red sword light broke through the air, the sword body was as red as blood, and the sword was so fast that it was like seeing flowers in the fog, making it impossible to catch the trajectory of the sword!

The person behind the scenes precisely blocked Ji Jingqiu's breakthrough moment and stabbed him in the heart with a sword!
Luo Shangye wanted to attack, but his expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Luo Tianyou's shoulder and retreated rapidly.

Several figures attacked from the surroundings at the same time, all of them were mental images.

"Work together to take him down! Don't give him the chance to break through!" someone shouted sternly.

Ji Jingqiu stood still.

An invisible life field spread out in all directions with him as the center, shaking the heaven and earth!
"Is this a life force field?!" someone said in a distorted voice.

In their horrified eyes, this spreading life force field alone easily crushed the blood-red sword light!
Luo Zang, the eleventh on the Black List, [Blood Sword], had a distorted expression as if he was mad. The magic weapon he had nurtured for half his life was actually crushed by this boy's vitality field? !
How can this be? !
And this moment.

Ji Jingqiu took the first step.

Standing in the firelight like sunrise.

Golden lotus flowers swayed silently around him and bloomed in the void.

It was not known whether it was because the firelight was so dazzling or because he was too sharp at that moment, making it impossible for everyone to look directly at him.

Ji Jingqiu didn't say anything, nor did he even look at the blood-red sword shadow that was crushed by his life field. He just raised his head, closed his eyes, and listened to the echo of the world.

When he doesn't speak.

No one dared to say anything or do anything; they just stood there, their foreheads already covered in cold sweat.

Because the man was standing there, apparently motionless, yet he seemed as tall as a mountain. With every move he made, he had an aura that made him overwhelm all the enemies alone, causing people to feel suffocated.

During this period, Luo Zang didn't believe it was true. He used his body as a sword and performed a secret method of mutual destruction in a paranoid and crazy manner.

The next moment, under the horrified gaze of Yuan Tongcun and others, he was like a moth to a flame, and burned to ashes in Ji Jingqiu's life field.

The silence was so quiet that you could hear the beating of hearts.

What level of life force field is needed to annihilate a mind-type warrior?

Just when everyone was scared to death and wanted to escape, the figure standing in the firelight opened his eyes.

He looked at the whole audience with disdain and said calmly:
"Everyone, just now the spiritual light of all living beings helped me break free from the seventh shackles and complete the unification of my physical body. Do you know what this means?"

He took a step forward calmly, looking down at everyone with the composure of a god:

"I am invincible."

There was no dissenting voice in the audience.

Because it is a truly complete heaven and earth dojo.

Has come.

……

……

This day.

Federal West 5 Star.

Sima family of Hanyang.

A broken corpse fell from a distance and landed heavily at the gate of Sima's house.

"Who is coming?!"

A strong man from the Sima family came forward, and after seeing the true appearance of the corpse, he was instantly shocked and angry. Who would dare to kill the heart warriors of the Sima family? !
A voice came from far away, rolling in, and its sound could be heard for thousands of miles.

"East 3 brilliant stars, Ji Jingqiu."

"Nephew Ji...Nephew Ji? What brings Nephew Ji to visit this time?"

When the Sima family's heart-phase warrior looked into the distance, he was shocked.

Is this the autumn season?!
What a joke!
The figure came from far away, stepping in the air, coming from the void, as if connected to the will of heaven above and the center of the earth below. The surging void energy was as fierce as a tide, gathering around him, and the momentum he brought was as magnificent as the power of heaven.

He took one step at a time in the void and said calmly:
"Come to your house and discuss the truth."

What can convince people is never reason.
