Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 257 Who is Lingshan? All the meridians are moving

The central area, four guarding stars.

As a holy land for the seeds of Federation martial arts, the Four Guardian Stars always maintain a situation where some people leave with disappointment while others flock to it.

At this moment, a debate has begun among young people about whether Ji Jingqiu will "take action" in the West.

There are young people who come from martial arts families. They are accustomed to this kind of things since childhood. They are more realistic and are obviously different from other relatively young and hot-blooded people.

Among them, someone shook his head and said in a very complicated tone:
"He probably won't take action. You don't know the pressure the Federation faces. It's not just the external Tianlu, but also the internal conflicts that have existed for thousands of years. The chaos in the West can be said to be the product of thousands of years of interweaving of various forces."

"To put it in a rather outrageous way, the reason why you can live in a peaceful world is not only thanks to the Grand Masters and Grand Masters for stabilizing the overall situation, but also thanks to the 'sacrifice' of the West."

"What does it mean, sacrificing the West to make the other three regions complete?" someone asked.

Someone whispered, "Throughout history, how many dynasties can last forever? The Federation has been established for ten thousand years, the six major families are at the top, and there is a privileged class like warriors who live long lives, but it has been able to maintain the federal political system until now. The federal laws can even judge the gods, and ordinary warriors who break the law are guilty of the same crime as ordinary people... This is already a remarkable achievement. Most of the civilized races we have come into contact with exist in the form of dynasties."

"In fact, the West has not always been so chaotic. There is a 'periodicity', and this periodicity is related to the contradictions within the Federation." Someone suddenly spoke up and revealed a secret.

The meaning behind this sentence made everyone shudder.

A disciple from a thousand-year-old martial arts family in the central area smiled disdainfully:
"What old news? Is it necessary to sacrifice the entire western part of the federation for internal conflicts? It's just that those country bumpkins in the west are used to being local tyrants and don't want to move away, so they deliberately created this 'excuse'! They have to take the blame for the current situation in the west!"

"Yes, the chaos in the west has indeed become the 'norm'. Rebellions have often appeared in history, but most of the time, most planets are peaceful. Even if there is darkness, it is within control! There has never been a time as bad as this one!"

Suddenly, a voice mixed with energy spread among the crowd:
"Everyone is afraid of this and that. Let me tell you! Ever since the great masters left, some people have obviously become restless. Stirring up chaos in the West is their way of testing the federal officials. Among them are even members of the six major families!"

"Ji Jingqiu may help the disaster victims he meets along the way, but he cannot stand up openly, otherwise it will affect the entire body. Think about who his enemy will be!"

"In fact, Ji Jingqiu has already stood at the top, a member of the new privileged class. Even if the direct descendants of the six major families travel, they may not be greeted with grand ceremonies wherever they go like he is..."

"Uh, you mean the dragon slayer becomes a dragon?"

"Where did the evil dragon come from? Where did the dragon slayer come from?" Someone refuted and stood up to argue, thinking that even if Ji Jingqiu didn't take action, could he be blamed? This didn't make sense.

"Ji Jingqiu rose to prominence through his martial arts talent, and was also born in the East District. He really has no reason to be an enemy of those people!"

"Ask yourself, if you were in my shoes, would you be willing to rashly become enemies with the many martial arts families in the west, or even some of the six major families, just for those ordinary people who have nothing to do with you? I wouldn't."

"Throughout history, there have been warriors who thought they could change everything, but in the end, they all completely disappeared, annihilated in the dust without even a splash of water."

"In fact, even if he stood up, it would be useless. The Dragon and Tiger Dojo is not qualified to fight against those forces. The western part of the Federation is the place with the most thousand-year-old martial arts families besides the central area..."

"Didn't you just say that federal law can judge even the gods?"

"That requires strong evidence, but that's difficult. Why do some things require the intervention of the gods themselves? There are many scapegoats in the family, and in the end, they are just accused of 'failing to take good care of the child' or 'not being a good parent'."

"Generally speaking, if Ji Jingqiu stands up, he will not be able to defeat them in terms of both strength and political means."

At this moment, even the young man who admired Ji Jingqiu and had confidence in and filters for him, felt the insurmountable "heavy barrier".

His enemies are not just one or two people, nor are they his former peers, but a collection of Western families accumulated over thousands of years in the Federation.

It is the combination of force and law!
"Qingshan, what do you think?" Someone in the crowd looked at Ruan Qingshan and whispered, "Don't you know that person?"

Facing everyone's gaze, Ruan Qingshan raised his head, looked around at everyone, and said softly:

"He has already intervened. Those photos are still going viral online. They are not just circulating on martial arts forums, but have also caused a huge uproar on the entire federal network."

Everyone was silent.

This statement was not wrong. Ji Jingqiu had already intervened. Even under his influence, warriors from many forces had begun to rush to the west to "help with the disaster."

"I never doubted that Jingqiu would intervene, not because he is a good person, but because his love and respect for life are no less than anyone else's."

Ruan Qingshan recalled Jingqiu in the group chat, the same age who was still fighting against the evil poison disease every day...

He said seriously: "Jingqiu has another characteristic. He never bows his head. Even death has never made him bow his head. It is even more impossible for those people to make him bow his head."

Some people in the crowd were speechless. What else could they do if they didn’t bow their heads?

On the road of martial arts, sometimes lowering your head can help you walk more smoothly.

In this world, who can always stand firm?
In front of the gods, even if Ji Jingqiu is a genius...

The door of the venue was suddenly kicked open and some young people broke into the venue.

"The latest news from the West!!!"

"Just an hour ago, Ji Jingqiu challenged Sima Long, a celestial warrior from the Hanyang Sima family, in the western part of the Federation and won the battle!"

The whole place was dead silent.

Even Ruan Qingshan looked at it in confusion. Was this a prank?

Or in other words, was it they who traveled through time, or was it this person who traveled through time, to the era many years later when Ji Jingqiu rose to power?
……

capital.

"Under Ji Jingqiu's influence, hundreds of forces, large and small, have entered the western region to provide disaster relief. Although some commercial companies have only symbolically provided supplies, there are more than a dozen top-notch schools like the Tianjian Dojo..."

"Disaster relief?" Liu Zhong paused and said, "I prefer the term 'suppressing riots'."

All the bigwigs from various departments present looked at him in surprise.

Is it disaster relief or quelling riots?

In fact, it is on both sides of the line.

Among those present today, some faces in important positions have changed.

During the three months that Ji Jingqiu went to the west, the official internal affairs also experienced turmoil, blood transfusion, and even flesh-cutting.

Liu Zhong was very fortunate that the seven marshals had formulated many strict regulations in the early days of the establishment of the federation. For example, except for the military, the proportion of warriors in each department must not exceed a certain base number, and all important positions have strict restrictions on on-the-job time. There are even unspoken rules that restrict background. The purpose is self-evident.

According to records, in the early days of supervision in this area, an illegal organization, which is now listed as an underground illegal organization, also played a great role.

Although there are policies from above and countermeasures from below, internal constraints are still maintained.

This is also the reason why their internal cleaning was successfully completed not long ago.

Although there are still a lot of losses, the normal operation of the federal government can be generally guaranteed, and it will not collapse or hinder anyone.

Liu Zhong sighed. The Four God Lords’ request to them was not to hold Ji Jingqiu back.

This is really shameful.

"How is the internal organization of the military going?"

"At present, the First and Third Armies have been cleaned up and are ready to go to the west to suppress the 'rebels' at any time."

Liu nodded and said:

"The Security Bureau, the War Coordination Department and other departments should keep a close eye on the aristocratic families in the west, notify the military to be prepared, and prevent any more attacks from the gods. They should ensure Ji Jingqiu's safety."

"In addition, guide the public opinion online and communicate well with Tianjian Dojo and other forces."

Just as Liu Zhong was giving orders one by one, the new director of the Security Bureau, Fu Hongxi, raised his hand with a strange look and interrupted him.

"Excuse me, the latest information has been sent back from the west. Not long ago, Ji Jingqiu came to the Hanyang Sima family to inquire about the Hundred Meridians. A group of heart-images suppressed him with a snap of a finger. Then he challenged Sima Long. First, the winner was determined, and then the two of them started a life-and-death battle again. In the end, Ji Jingqiu displayed three Dharma images and suppressed him!"

Everyone was silent. Was the information channel of the Security Bureau hacked? Otherwise, how could they come up with such "interesting news"?

"Sima Long... is the one ranked 97th on the Heavenly Man Ranking? Did he beat the Heavenly Man?"

Some people wondered, wondering if they had been too busy recently and their memory was distorted.

"He defeated the gods?" someone asked again.

Fu Hongxi sighed and said, "It has been confirmed. This is the information sent back by Xin Lie. It should be correct. The relevant battle videos are being collected and summarized. As for Ji Jingqiu's realm... Xin Lie said that he has completed the unification of his physical body and has just entered the state of mind."

The whole place was silent.

Liu Chong was amazed. Is this the confidence of the temple?

He originally thought that the temple was planning to use Ji Jingqiu as a bait to let Baimai come forward to check and balance the western families, and then the official could successfully suppress the rebellion.

But now...

……

……

Western Federation.

In the field, Ji Jingqiu and Sima Long once again started a life-and-death fight, which was even more intense than before.

Generally speaking, the competition between the Federation's celestial warriors would end at a certain point.

He has a lifespan of at least a thousand years and is the foundation of his clan. Even in the eyes of the Federation, he is considered to have some background. Naturally, they will not fight to the death easily.

If you have to die, you have to die on the road to heaven.

The outcome of this battle was clear since Sima Long was cast down from heaven to earth.

If we fight again, it will be a matter of life and death.

But Sima Long didn't care and was going to fight a life and death battle with a junior today!

All the celestial beings looked solemn, ready to rescue whoever was at a disadvantage.

If it comes to life or death, it is not a simple matter of who wins, as any decision may affect the final outcome.

Compared to Sima Long, who has lived for hundreds of years, Ji Jingqiu is still lacking in some aspects and may suffer losses.

In addition, they could not understand what Sima Long was doing at the moment, only the Pei family's angel had a deep gaze.

Sima Long, who was considered "unable to lose face" by others, actually had no choice in his eyes.

Ever since Ji Jingqiu came to his house, he had no choice. If he could have taken Ji Jingqiu down, he might have had room for maneuver. But now even he himself was defeated by Ji Jingqiu. What "future" did the Sima family have?

Sima Long's previous attack was without holding back!
now.

Behind Sima Long, there seemed to be a series of world planes emerging. This was the dimensional plane he had communicated with before, and at this moment, he paid a huge price to bless himself.

He had a blank expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent that was about to overflow.

The two men clashed again, and this time they still fought head-on without any fancy moves.

When the fists collided, the strong energy that burst out from pure flesh spread for thousands of miles and raised up earth dragons.

Sima Long's eyes were cold, and a chaotic hole silently unfolded behind Ji Jingqiu, blowing out a cosmic gale that could dissolve everything.

This is a celestial being. In a moment of thought, supernatural powers arise.

However, Ji Jingqiu stood still, as if he had merged into the void. The cosmic gale could not get close to him and was blocked outside by the life stand he held up.

This scene made Sima Long look ugly.

What level has Ji Jingqiu's physique reached? !

How could there be someone below heaven who could forge such an unparalleled physique!

If he achieves the unity of mind and body in the future, won't he be able to ignore the first disaster? !

“Don’t be so arrogant!” Sima Long’s face turned pale and he attacked again.

This time, Sima Long used his great power of killing to the extreme. Behind him, there was a three-inch spiritual holy fetus that was exactly the same as his. It looked majestic, and had a feeling of overlooking the vast earth.

Afterwards, the holy fetus entered his Dharma body. The Dharma body opened its eyes, and an indescribable spirituality was revealed, as if a demon god with the head of a roc and a human body had truly appeared.

Sima Long stared at Ji Jingqiu with deep eyes. From this boy's previous remarks, it was clear that he had already seen through that he had attacked him and there was no room for maneuver.

What he was most worried about at the moment was that other celestial beings watching the battle would intervene.

Therefore, he would not say anything harsh that would alert the other celestial beings and attack in silence. He wanted to kill Ji Jingqiu at the critical moment, or at least half-cripple him!
Only in this way can the current Sima family have a way to survive. As for the future, it is too far away and he cannot see it.

In an instant, with the void where Ji Jingqiu was standing as the center, it seemed as if the heaven and earth turned upside down, and the rules and laws were shattered.

The weight of heaven and earth weighed on Ji Jingqiu!
"【Heaven and Earth Reversed】, this old man even used this most hidden magical power."

In the void, there was a celestial being with an ugly look on his face, ready to take action.

Ji Jingqiu looked solemn. He felt a heavy sense of oppression coming from the void behind Sima Long.

In the depths of the void, there seem to be several great and mighty wills lurking, which are the "will of heaven" of the dimensional plane.

The celestial warriors travel through the various realms. In the process, if they are not careful, they may even become "puppets" of these dimensional worlds.

But if one can subdue the will of heaven, or gain the blessing and recognition of the world, one can pay a huge price to borrow its power at a critical moment.

Sima Long can borrow the power of several worlds, which shows his profound background.

Unfortunately……

This is the universe!

The moon between Ji Jingqiu's eyebrows shone into the void, and he once again saw those pure eyes that were reflected in the void, shimmering and flickering, as if flowing with the waves of life.

It attracted the remaining marks of all living beings on this planet and stared at him silently. Under the illumination of the Heart Moon, this pair of eyes that came from nowhere and represented something slowly closed and turned into a mark, being attracted by the Heart Moon.

next moment.

The planet beneath their feet seemed to stop rotating for an instant.

In an instant, Ji Jingqiu's aura was infinitely lofty, completely overwhelming Sima Long!

"This is... How is it possible?! This is West 5th Star, how can you use the Heaven's Heart to suppress me?!"

Sima Long was shocked and roared. The shadow of the world behind him was actually expelled by this mighty will of heaven!
This is the mysterious will of the planet, which contains the rules of the universe. It is not an external world or dimension that can be resisted.

Even the Four Demons of the Wilderness are unwilling to directly confront the rules of the universe!

Sima Long could not accept this reality. Although the will of the planet was strong, it was too "loose". How could it resist the will of heaven?

It can be easily replaced by nature, and this is the essence of the unity of nature and man.

Moreover, this is West 5th Star, the planet where he achieved celestial status. He had transformed this planet based on his own life perspective. In theory, this planet was equivalent to his "subsidiary".

But at this moment, Xi5 Tianxing not only "rejected" him, but was also unified by Ji Jingqiu to suppress him!
The next moment, Ji Jingqiu broke free from the cage of [Heaven and Earth Reversal], stretched out his body, pressed one hand on Sima Long's face, and threw him down!
【Big Stone Smashing Palm】!
In an instant, the sky collapsed and the mountains and rivers shook!

Like a comet hitting the earth.

A bottomless pit suddenly appeared on the ground, and Sima Long's figure disappeared deep underground.

The celestial body is too strong, Qingzhu's sharpness is limited, and the legal principles contained in it are too "thin", making it difficult to cause harm to a warrior of this level.

His previous full-strength slash only left a scar on Sima Long's face, which had now healed.

At this moment, the knife is not as useful as the fist.

Ji Jingqiu beat the downed dog and his body fell suddenly. There were continuous loud tremors from underground, as if the earth veins were shaking and the ground was shaking.

Seeing this scene, the other celestial beings had subtle expressions and their scalps felt slightly numb.

too……

This fighting style is a bit... too rough.

With a roar, Sima Long jumped out of the ground. He looked disheveled, with blood coming from the corners of his mouth and scars all over his face. It was obvious that he had been given special care.

Just the next moment.

He was knocked back into the ground again.

"Ji Jingqiu, how dare you humiliate me like this?!"

The Dharma body of the statue with the head of Peng and a human body manifested in heaven and earth, expanding hundreds of times than before, as if it was standing up against the sky!

It roared and flapped its wings, propping up a heaven and earth arena that was almost like a divine kingdom!

The holy fetus of the soul enters the Dharma body, and the Dharma body sits in the temple. This is truly a life-and-death struggle!
Ji Jingqiu walked out from underground with a frown, and for the first time realized how difficult it was to kill the celestial beings.

It’s not difficult to tell who’s better.

But when it comes to life and death, the difficulty is much higher.

He looked up at Sima Long, who was standing in the sky at this moment, performing a life-threatening move, and seemed to be talking to himself:

"I may not be very capable, but I do have a bad temper."

As soon as these words were spoken, the demon body behind Sima Long began to burn with a faint illusory flame.

Even the gods and immortals who were watching nearby had no expression on their faces, not knowing how to respond.

"Then you will completely give up."

Ji Jingqiu took a step forward, and time between heaven and earth seemed to freeze for a moment.

Three Dharma bodies emerged behind him.

At this moment, Mu Chengde, who finally came from afar with his apprentice, stood in a daze in the void.

Is that... Buddha?

……

Inner world.

For the first time, Hela left the pond, hanging in the air with her snake tail dragging behind her, holding Fat Tiger in her arms, her slender hands gently stroking his head, like a noble who lives in seclusion in a deep palace and can only hold a cat to relieve her boredom.

At this moment, she was hanging on the edge of the Pure Land, staring at the guardian deity outside the Pure Land with a frown.

Somewhat confused.

Even after signing the contract and sharing part of his status and power, she still couldn't see through this guy's true nature.

It is clearly a retribution body, yet it seems to be true and false.

It seems to be related to the Supreme Buddha, but its essence is as pure as it can be. It is completely different from the Supreme Buddha.

This guy refused to stay in the Pure Land and chose to be in the rain of the sea of ​​suffering. He seemed to be constantly elevating his own status, and this ascent seemed to have no end.

Is this really a reward body Buddha?

In addition, could the golden ape in this guy’s hand be the war Buddha hanging in the sky?

Can a Buddha who has been in Nirvana for a long time be reborn?
Hela looked up, and the look in her eyes as she looked at the illusory sea of ​​suffering changed completely.

After staying here for such a long time, she still doesn't seem to understand this pure land.

……

Three Dharmakāyas stood behind Ji Jingqiu——

One statue reflects the image in the viewer's heart, evolving the primordial infinite, chaotic and dark, enlightening one, and controlling all things with one;

A face of the Thunder God, but with the angry expression of a Vajra, revealing the true wrath of the Buddha, with tremendous fighting power;

The last one is located in the heaven and earth, surrounded by illusory blooming Udumbara flowers, with a solemn and compassionate appearance, and different Buddhist images rising around it...

The three Dharma bodies stood together, and in just a moment, they plundered the vast power of heaven and earth.

In front of it, even the demon god's Dharma body with a human body and the head of Peng, which has expanded hundreds of times, seems insignificant!
Everyone was shocked. Three Dharmakāyas?!

Dharmakaya is the realm of the mind, the manifestation of the integration of one's own martial arts path. It has vast magical powers and unfathomable might, and ultimately sits in the dojo of heaven and earth. The combination of the two is the strongest form.

They can accept that the Wu Xiang Dao Body can imitate the Dharmakaya of others, but how can there be two more Daos? !

In this hushed silence, all the celestial beings forgot to take action and just sat there in a daze watching Sima Long being beaten.

There was no counterattack or counterattack as expected, and the battle situation was very stable.

Ji Jingqiu fought against Tianren for the first time. He tried various methods and his style of play was very steady. He did not take any risks and always advanced step by step.

When one of the celestial beings came to his senses, he was in hesitation for a moment, not knowing whether he should take action or not.

Finally, the Third Army Leader Xin Lie sent a telepathic message to Ji Jingqiu:
"The Federation is a society ruled by law after all. You came here to ask for advice, and no one can find fault with you. But if you beat him to death here, you will attract criticism."

Ji Jingqiu replied: "Criticism? Is it useful to the gods?"

Xin Lie laughed and changed his words: "A celestial being shouldn't die here. It's such a waste. I'll finish your job."

"Can the military eat it?"

"Don't worry."

"What I'm asking is, can the military take on all the gods and men in the West?"

Xin Lie said nothing more.

finally.

Even for a celestial being, it was difficult to recover quickly. Sima Long was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He fell into a deep coma, and even the light of his soul became dim and wavering.

Only at this moment did Ji Jingqiu stop.

Heavenly man, you really shouldn't die here in such a waste.

Looking at the figure below who had firmly suppressed Sima Long even in a life-and-death fight, the celestial beings didn't know what to make of their reaction.

Ji Jingqiu put away his Dharma body and the Heaven and Earth Dojo, stepped on the unconscious Sima Long, and began to review the situation.

In today's battle, he proved that he could fight against the celestial beings head-on, but Sima Long might not represent the top combat power of the Federation's celestial beings.

There are three disasters among heaven and man, and each disaster represents a step. It seems that Master Bailu is already standing on the second step.

Sima Long was only standing on the first step.

If he wants to continue his sweep, it is not enough, he needs to deepen his understanding of the field of heaven and man.

"How about it? Would you like to consider my proposal?"

Suddenly, Hela whispered in his ear again,

"Pull out that knife, and you will have the entire universe. You can come and go freely without any restrictions! We have already signed a contract, so you don't need to worry that I will do anything bad to you."

Ji Jingqiu raised his head, and the spiritual light of all living beings entered his heart again. He felt the joy that came from the unknown.

Suppressing Sima Long is just the beginning, not the end.

Just like the Dapeng in Journey to the West is not scary, what is scary is the sacred mountain behind it.

But the problem is——

Who is Lingshan?

"If I want to suppress the Federation, I do need a magical weapon to help me, but it's not Senior Xuanyi."

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself, turning sideways to look somewhere in the southeast, his eyes flickering.

In this direction, he felt the spiritual aura of all living beings similar to that of this planet.

It seemed as if something was calling him there.

Is that... the Mu family?
……

……

"How's the progress at the Mu family?"

Li Xuanting asked impatiently.

On the other side of the communication, a deep voice said: "The Mu family seems to have achieved initial success. The magic weapon has been awakened and has opened up the Ten Directions Glazed Realm on its own. We are currently unable to contact the people inside, so we can only wait!"

Li Xuanting frowned. Among the six major families in the federation, the Mu family's magical weapon was the most mysterious.

This weapon does not seem to be a killing weapon, but a "suppressing weapon" with mysterious effects. However, it can be listed among the divine weapons and was left by General Mu in the past, so it is naturally not simple.

They believe that any celestial being who possesses it can roam the celestial realm!

"Speed ​​up, with the help of the Mu family's magical weapons, we will have the initiative!" Li Xuanting said in a deep voice.

The terminal quickly replied: "How is the situation in the west?"

Li Xuanting said calmly, "What else can we do? As always, do you really think that Ji Jingqiu can stir up any waves?"

The other party sighed and said, "Sima Long's failed attack not long ago has already sounded a wake-up call for those people."

Li Xuanting said in a cold voice: "I have reminded you that if you want to take action, you must strike with thunder and be prepared to not fear any consequences, instead of shrinking back!"

The other party was silent.

"Okay, I don't have time to chat with you." Li Xuanting hung up the phone impatiently.

He ended the call and returned to the depths of the ancestral home. Looking at the young man sleeping in the home, his furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

He sat down next to his nephew Li Yingtian, reached out and held Yingtian's hand, and remained silent for a long time.

Until a communication came in, making him look gloomy.

But soon, the gloom between his brows turned into rage.

"Ji Jingqiu suppressed Sima Long?! Are you kidding me? How can he, a junior in the Shackles Realm, suppress Sima Long?!"

……

The circle of federal celestial beings is both large and small.

For some things, an hour is enough to spread throughout the circle.

So when someone spread the image of Ji Jingqiu stepping on Sima Long, it quickly caused a huge shock in the top areas of the federation.

On this day, all the veins of the Federation were moved.

(End of this chapter)
