Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 261 The Righteousness

Mu Juncheng stared at Ji Jingqiu blankly, and suddenly felt that this old friend was a little strange.

We have been training together on the Jiuzhou Ancient Road, and it has been less than a year. How come you have surpassed everyone else?

But this is not the most unfamiliar thing for Mu Juncheng.

He looked at the Mu family's magic weapon hovering above Ji Jingqiu's head, as well as the manifested Dojo of the Sea of ​​Bitterness of All Worlds, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

Is this the secret that our ancestor and third uncle are hiding?
He suddenly understood why the ancestor had told him that day that even if the Mu family stood on the opposite side of Ji Jingqiu, they would support Ji Jingqiu without reservation...

Because Ji Jingqiu is the descendant of our ancestor!

If we go by seniority, how should I address him now?
Mu Juncheng smiled bitterly.

Old friends from the past have suddenly become much older than me.

A question suddenly occurred to him.

When did Ji Jingqiu become the descendant of the ancestor?
The answer came when he looked at Mu Xuanying.

It seems...back then in the Four Guardian Stars, I was competing with the successor chosen by my ancestors?
……

Mu Tianrui's face flushed and his chest heaved, but this emotion disappeared after seeing Mu Xuantong's suicide body, as if a bucket of ice water was poured on a campfire.

The coldness penetrates into my heart and lungs.

In just a moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind, and his eyes turned to Mu Xuanying and Ji Jingqiu.

At this moment, was the emotion that surged in his heart shock and anger, or fear?

Neither, because neither one can reverse the current reality.

The wonders of the Fire House Buddha Prison cannot be faked, the support of the magic soldiers cannot be faked, and the betrayal of the ancestral star cannot be faked.

Just for a moment, Mu Tianrui even wondered whether this was a "copy" by Ji Jingqiu using his formless Taoist body.

But there is no "original" in the world, so where should Ji Jingqiu go to copy it?
He immediately accepted the identity of being the descendant of Ji Jingqiu's ancestor, and his face gradually turned pale as he quickly thought about the direction of events that would follow.

He didn't even try to refute Ji Jingqiu's words.

It’s because he is the descendant of the Buddha and the ancestor!
Whatever he said should be right, at least for the Mu family.

The Mu family must fully support his words and deeds, otherwise it would be denying the lineage of the Buddha itself, denying their ancestors, and denying the legitimacy of the Mu family.

The most important thing is that Ji Jingqiu is not just a name. With the blessing of magical weapons and the defection of the entire planet's will, he is almost invincible on the Mu family's ancestral planet.

He has the right to do so and is not unworthy of his position... Who can stop him?
Is there still room for a comeback?
At this moment, Mu Tianrui seemed to hear the whisper of the devil, asking him whether he accepted his fate...

This made Mu Tianrui, who had never had such an experience before, stunned on the spot, feeling dazed and melancholy, and even having a feeling of half sadness and half laughter.

According to Mu Xuanying, isn't he now "recognized" by the devil as a direct descendant of the Mu family?
When Mu Tianrui subconsciously looked at the reactions of several of his own celestial beings, a chill came over him.

The group of celestial beings who were worshipping had blank expressions on their faces and had no intention of taking further action, especially the one who had previously drawn his sword to stop Mu Xuantong, who was looking at Mu Xuantong's corpse with disgust.

Even the remaining few celestial beings who came from side branches took a step back hesitantly when his gaze swept over them, as if they were drawing a line between themselves and the others.

As for the former, this person is the successor of the Buddha and Mu Shuai.

But for the descendants of the Mu family, this person is the successor chosen by their ancestors!
They could still vividly remember the incident of Mu Xuantong being contaminated by the power of the Heavenly Demon. This incident alone had caused them to completely lose their "righteousness". Now they had to become enemies with the descendants of the Buddha?
Not to mention, this person is an unparalleled genius who can rival the gods when he first enters the state of mind, and he is also protected by divine weapons. In the current universe, there is almost no risk of his death, and he will surely illuminate the Federation in the future.

And he, Mu Tianrui... ?
Does this require a choice?

It is not dark in this federation yet, and they are not blind.

There is no follow-up.

With the birth of the Buddha's successor, all the struggles within the Mu family seemed so ridiculous.

This sudden reversal of the situation came from the strength and identity displayed by Ji Jingqiu.

Mu Tianrui gradually became expressionless, as if all his energy had been drained away, and he didn't even respond to Ji Jingqiu's ridicule.

At this time, Mu Xuanying walked out and looked at Mu Xuantong's body with complicated eyes.

He and Mu Xuantong are both from the Xuan generation in the clan, but he did not choose the martial arts, and Xuantong did not choose the path of their ancestors.

Unexpectedly, Xuantong was corrupted by the four demons and became a follower of the Heavenly Demon.

A disciple of the Mu family has become a follower of the Heavenly Demon, and he is also a Heavenly Warrior who holds great power...

If this matter were to spread, it would be a joke and would completely shake the Mu family's position in the hearts of the people of the federation.

He sighed quietly, and the thought of "severely humiliating Mu Tianrui" that he had previously had faded a lot. He felt a little bored, and without even looking at the latter, he turned around and looked at Ji Jingqiu, and said with relief:
"Not long ago, the Divine Weapon Ancestor showed a strange phenomenon, and I guessed it was related to you. I thought that either the Divine Weapon Ancestor went to look for you, or you were about to visit the Mu family."

"Old man, long time no see!"

Ji Jingqiu has great respect for Mu Xuanying, who can be said to be his guide in martial arts.

If he hadn't had the [Visualization Picture of the Burning House of Buddha's Hell] that day, perhaps he could still have found a way to survive, but he would never have achieved what he has today.

This visualization diagram completely changed the trajectory of his life and gave him the strength to face everything.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today." Mu Xuanying sighed and said in a self-deprecating voice, "A disciple of the Mu family actually has a follower of the Heavenly Demon. How ironic is this?"

The other Mu family warriors' expressions changed slightly when they heard this, and they looked at each other with vigilance in their eyes, and finally all fell on Mu Tianrui.

Before this, did anyone know that Mu Xuantong was corrupted by the devil?
Is this attempt to seize power of the legitimate bloodline related to the devil?
Mu Tianrui's face turned pale and he said, "I don't know about this!"

Ji Jingqiu said calmly: "This is not up to you."

"Next, everyone in the Mu family will be examined." Ji Jingqiu looked at Mu Xuanying and said solemnly, "Right now, there must be no chaos within the six major families. We must nip the disaster in the bud."

Mu Xuanying nodded without hesitation, and at the same time he looked at the other members of the Mu family.

The others all stared at Ji Jingqiu with complicated eyes.

In addition to Mu Tianrui, another warrior standing on the second step of the Heavenly Man Ladder, Mu Tianxiang, suddenly asked:
"Nephew Ji, have you really mastered the [Visualization Diagram of the Buddha's Prison in the Fire House]?"

Ji Jingqiu glanced away and said calmly: "If not for this, why would the divine soldiers choose to support me?"

It was unclear whether everyone's smiles should be filled with joy or bitterness; the emotion was very complicated.

In their eyes, Ji Jingqiu's title of the greatest genius of the past ten thousand years, or the successor of He Shuai, or the amazing talent that overwhelmed the heavens...

None of them were as good as him in achieving the [Visualization Diagram of the Buddha's Hell in Fire House].

As descendants of the Mu family, how many of them have tried this method left by their ancestors without high expectations?

In the end, they all hit a wall, without exception.

Mu Tianxiang was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "The Mu family's branch respectfully welcomes the return of the descendant of the World Honored One after overcoming all the hardships."

[Visualization Diagram of Buddha's Hell in Fire House] is known as the Ten Thousand Calamities. Ji Jingqiu cultivated this diagram, so naturally he has returned after experiencing the Ten Thousand Calamities.

After this person bowed his head, even though Mu Tianrui remained silent, the other celestial beings seemed to have found a breakthrough and spoke one after another.

As for the celestial beings offering sacrifices, they were not members of the Mu family but had signed a contract with the Mu family. They did not need to be so respectful, but they still expressed their goodwill to Ji Jingqiu.

Some people have been secretly searching for what has happened outside in the past few months. It is incredible how Ji Jingqiu could have suddenly risen to become as powerful as a celestial being.

Especially those who had fought with Ji Jingqiu before, they felt that even without the help of magical weapons, Ji Jingqiu might have the qualifications to fight against the celestial beings!

Mu Xuanying came forward, asking everyone to keep today's events secret to avoid the spread of the news of the emergence of demon followers within the Mu family, and also to appease the priests.

Under the guidance of Mu Juncheng, Ji Jingqiu learned about the current situation of the Mu family and met another direct descendant of the Mu family, Mu Junxin.

This person, who was a few years older than them, entered the trance state early on and missed the chance to enter the ancient road of Jiuzhou.

After learning the truth, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply to Ji Jingqiu, which made Mu Juncheng's mouth twitch. He hadn't bowed deeply yet...

From the two people, Ji Jingqiu learned that the Mu family's situation has not been very good in recent years.

The main issue is the blood curse.

Although the direct line of the Mu family is in decline, the side branches are still prosperous. They have produced more than a handful of celestial warriors, including one who is at the third level of celestial being. However, he has now passed away with the ancestor. Currently, the strongest person in the clan is Mu Anyan.

This person solemnly paid his respects to Ji Jingqiu according to ancestral rules. Through telepathy, Ji Jingqiu learned that this person was actually practicing the silent meditation of the Buddha's lineage.

The longer you practice this magical power, the greater its power will be.

The Buddha's inheritance that Senior Mu Chantian brought for him from the Supreme True Buddha Sect also included the method of practicing this method.

after that.

Mu Tianrui's cultivation was restricted and he was imprisoned deep in the ancestral home. All their lineage will be implicated.

As for the other celestial beings, they are all in a state of making amends for their crimes, their personal freedoms are restricted, and their voice in the clan is also reduced to the extreme, but at least they still enjoy the dignity of a celestial being.

In Mu Xuanying's words, the Mu family cannot withstand turmoil. No matter which side wins this battle, the outcome will be almost the same.

Mu Xuanying and Mu Tianxiang first suppressed the news of the return of the Buddha's descendant, and then, in their respective names, summoned the Mu family members to gather in the ancestral home.

Everyone thought that the superiority of the two lineages had been determined, but when they gathered at the ancestral home, Mu Tianxiang and Mu Anyan took action personally, and even the other celestial beings were not spared.

Carefully examine and search for other believers of the Demon, especially those members of the Mu family who had been close to Mu Xuan before.

In the end, they discovered with grim expressions that there were actually several believers of the devil among the Mu family's side branches!
They wanted to ask more questions, but the divine power in the bodies of several people suddenly began to spontaneously ignite. Even if the gods took action, it was of no avail because they were too deeply connected. In the end, they died in extreme pain.

Mu Xuanying used the tragic situation of these people as an example to sternly warn his fellow tribesmen that this would be the consequence of associating with the four demons and forgetting their roots.

For a time, anxiety, panic and heaviness shrouded the Mu family.

At this moment, Mu Xuanying took the opportunity to tell everyone that the Buddha's successor had been decided, and someone had mastered the ancestor's supreme visualization diagram and had been recognized by the ancestor's magical weapon.

As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar, diverted everyone's attention, and swept away the previous decadent and uneasy atmosphere.

……

That night, Ji Jingqiu meditated in the ancestral house where Mu Shuai lived.

The green lamp disappeared into the void, bound to him, and always around him.

At this moment, the heart moon between his eyebrows slowly bloomed.

What exactly is this heart moon?
Even Hela couldn't figure it out, and she didn't even know whether he had opened the secret treasure of his mind.

It is a mixture of his divine perception, wisdom light, divinity, innate supernatural powers, and even mental power.

The intersection of various forces condensed into the heart moon between his eyebrows.

With the help of this Heart Moon, Ji Jingqiu could easily enter the realm of complete unity between man and nature, and even sense some kind of mysterious will of the planet.

This was the case in the west before, and it is still the case on the Mu family’s ancestral planet today.

Through this heart moon, he could sense something magical.

According to Hela, generally speaking, it should be a planet and the will of all the spirits on it. The celestial warriors can often sense it when they are in the process of achieving the unity of man and nature and transforming the planet with their own life field.

Therefore, for celestial warriors, changing their own lives into planets is also a process that conforms to the will of heaven.

But what Ji Jingqiu saw was much more than that.

Just the pair of eyes that flickered and flickered in the void, flowing with the waves of life, left a deep impression on him. It seemed... related to the ocean of the soul.

Ji Jingqiu allowed his soul to merge with the heaven and earth at this moment.

As he entered the state of unity between man and nature, his spiritual perspective soared, and the transcendent feeling of overlooking the universe and everything in it in the palm of his hand filled his heart.

His soul turned into a virtual body, traveling between heaven and earth on the wind, climbing infinitely high, breaking away from the constraints of the planet and strolling in the universe.

Just as he was enjoying this sense of novelty, a wonderful resonance came from the other side of the starry sky, traveling across the long night and across the distance of light years, and finally flowed through his heart with incredible clarity.

Ji Jingqiu stopped and looked towards the starry sky.

This feeling was extremely familiar to him, as if it was not the first time he had felt it.

He began to recall and ponder, and his mind unconsciously followed this resonance.

Ji Jingqiu realized that his spiritual body was traveling at an extremely fast speed, as if he was stepping on a somersault cloud, traveling one light year with each step. He couldn't help but look slightly surprised.

Fortunately, he felt the existence of the spiritual ocean and could escape into it at any time and return through the same path.

Along the way, he saw hot stars emitting blazing white light floating in the starry sky.

"universe……"

The four directions above and below are called the universe, and the past and present are called the universe.

His mind wandered among the stars in the universe, attracted by all kinds of magnificent and fantastic scenery, and unknowingly, it hovered in front of a familiar planet.

He looked into the distance.

On that star—

Sixteen bright rays of light that are invisible to ordinary people shine among the stars, with four of them being the most ethereal, sacred, noble, and pure. Endless divine light radiates from this place to the vast federal territory.

These sixteen spiritual lights suppressed a dark "sea eye", which was like a bottomless valley in the sea where all the waters gathered.

And deeper inside, there was a stunning sword light that seemed to split the universe into two.

Under the knife light, a cloud of deep red mist was lingering, faintly outlining a graceful figure with a human body and a snake tail.

"Four Guardian Stars..."

Ji Jingqiu was shocked to find that without him realizing it, his mental power had crossed the galaxy and arrived in front of the Four Guardian Stars.

He was a little curious. The sword light was from Senior Xuanyi, the crimson mist was naturally from Lajiang, and the sixteen magnificent spiritual lights were from the Four Directions Divine Lords and the Twelve Divine Sovereigns...

So what is the black vortex beneath the sixteen rays of light?
Ji Jingqiu suddenly remembered that La Jiang had deceived him before, saying that the Federation was hiding a biggest secret that involved the foundation of the Federation.

He looked across the galaxy and thought that what the four gods were suppressing was the secret hidden by the Federation?

So is the fact that the gods are running out of time also related to this matter?

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu's brief sense of relief for clearing up the internal strife in the Mu family suddenly faded away.

It's not enough. The West has not been pacified yet. The other five major families may even have followers of the Four Demons hidden within them. In addition, the followers of the Four Demons are also secretly preparing to attack the Four Guardian Stars...

Of course, he cannot and will not do everything alone.

But Ji Jingqiu still felt a sense of urgency, fortunately he had the help of magic weapons.

Ji Jingqiu remained silent for a long time.

it's time.

After pacifying the rebellion in the west, he would invite all the branches of the Federation to gather together and complete the remaining challenges in one fell swoop. He hoped that by then, the branches would not think that he was bullying them...

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu found joy in suffering and smiled.

The Federation of Hundred Veins, this will be a huge force.

It is a force that even the six major families today must face up to.

Suppress all the meridians, then cleanse the six major families, and the federation can be safe.

By then, even if there are still dissenting voices within the federation, it will not affect the overall situation.

Ji Jingqiu pondered the possible directions and changes that might occur.

Soon after.

The news that he is the successor of the Buddha will be spread through the Mu family.

In a sense, this identity will be more useful than the identity of He Shuai's successor.

With his current strength, there will be no situation where he is "unworthy of the position", and this title will become a "righteous cause".

In the heart of the Federation, it is still the same as when it talked about the ancient planets.

Only when you have the right to do so can you gain the support of the people.

……

The next day.

Mu Xuanying originally wanted to keep Ji Jingqiu for a few more days.

After ten thousand years, a successor finally appeared in the lineage of the Buddha and returned to the Mu family. It would not be too long for him to stay there.

However, Ji Jingqiu declined, saying that he had to go to the west next.

The reason why he was recognized and supported by Coach Mu's team this time was also related to his decision in the West.

Mu Xuanying knew the real reason why he went to the west and no longer wanted to keep him.

Originally, he wanted Mu Anyan and another celestial being from the Mu family to accompany him to protect the Buddha's descendants.

But in the end he was politely declined by Ji Jingqiu. With his current combat power and the help of the magic weapon, theoretically no one in the Federation could do anything to him.

He hoped that the Mu family could sort out its internal affairs as soon as possible, and then send envoys to the other five major families in the name of the Buddha's lineage.

This is the top priority right now, apart from the West.

Before leaving, Mu Xuanying suddenly asked Ji Jingqiu, are you going west to become a savior this time?

Ji Jingqiu looked far into the west, shook his head, and admitted that he did not have the ambition to become a savior, nor did he have a grand plan to save the entire West.

There will be people who will do the work of saving the world and rescuing disasters, and there have always been people doing it.

All he wants is to be invincible in the world and become the mountain behind those people.

On the ancient road of the Emperor's Heaven, the geniuses of each race only recognize one truth: dignity is gained by killing, power is gained by fighting, and everything is determined by strength.

Now it seems.

This principle applies everywhere.

"The Federation is in too much chaos. We need to clean up the house in order to prepare for the great disaster ahead."

Mu Xuanying nodded, his eyes full of satisfaction.

He didn't want Ji Jingqiu to be the savior, even though he was the descendant of his ancestors.

Even our ancestors never regarded themselves as saviors. They never minded taking on more responsibilities for others, but they also always emphasized that all living beings must learn to save themselves.

Before leaving, Ji Jingqiu seemed to remember something and asked Grandpa Xiangmu through telepathy where Sister Mei had gone and why there had been no response for so many years.

He still owes Sister Mei a favor.

Mu Xuanying shook his head and said, "She went to the Heavenly Road and never came back. I haven't been in touch with her for a long time."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, took it seriously, and stood up to say goodbye.

Although this trip to the Mu family came and went in a hurry, he finally got what he wanted.

With the help of the magic weapon, he no longer has any taboos in the federation.

And just as he was on his way to the West.

The Mu family began to build momentum for him. The lineage of the World Honored One finally welcomed a successor after ten thousand years. This was not only a grand event for the Mu family, but also for the six major families and even the entire federation.

The news slowly spread, and the federation was shocked. Everyone who was paying attention to the Mu family was shocked.

They waited for so long, and finally received the news that "the Buddha's successor has been decided"!

This news is even more shocking than the choice of a master for the Mu family's magic weapon!

“The descendant of the Buddha’s lineage… someone has mastered the Supreme Visualization Diagram? How is that possible!”

"It is rumored that Mu Shuai has another mind that travels between heaven and earth... Could it be that this is the successor chosen by Mu Shuai himself?"

"In this life, He Shuai has a successor, and now even Mu Shuai has a successor from the next generation? Who is it?"

"It must be Mu Juncheng, right? He is one of the only two direct descendants of the Mu family this generation, and he has already broken into the Shackles Realm."

"Mu Junxin may not be sure either."

"The situation is not right. It may not be the two young men who are responsible. Mu Anyan was also extremely amazing back then."

"Ji Jingqiu?! Are you kidding me, isn't he the successor of He Shuai?!"

"Ji Jingqiu has mastered Mu Shuai's supreme visualization diagram?"

This news quickly spread to the ears of some people who had been paying attention to the situation in the Mu family, and some of them felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Is this Ji Jingqiu's real intention of going south? !

That magical weapon of the Mu family...

"The rise of this boy is unstoppable!" This was everyone's first reaction after receiving the news.

Some people sighed quietly. A young man who was regarded as "ignorant" by all parties not long ago, had transformed himself and stood at the highest point of the federation in just a few months.

"The situation in the West...maybe it can really be reversed in this lifetime?"

……

……

Western Federation.

A space logistics ship docked at the spaceport was suddenly forbidden from taking off.

"Brother Zhang, what's wrong?" Zhang Hengshan, the leader of the team, trotted up and said with an apologetic smile. He held a card in his right hand and quietly reached into the other's collar pocket.

But this time, the person in charge of the spaceport was not as friendly as before. He moved aside to avoid his hand, his expression was as cold as ice, and he said lightly:
"We have discovered that you are secretly transporting supplies to the underground rebels. Effective immediately, all of you will be detained and held accountable. Take all of you away!"

Zhang Hengshan stood there in a daze.
