Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 264: Spiritual Cultivation, Forgetfulness and the Other Shore
Liu Shu returned to his family's homeland.

Seeing the ancestor return, all the younger generations of the Liu family hurried to greet him. Seeing that the ancestor had a rosy complexion, no injuries, and even his clothes were not messy, all the younger generations couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

For the aristocratic families, any warrior below the Heavenly Man can die, but only the Heavenly Man cannot fall.

This is the backbone of the family.

"Did the ancestor win this battle?!" someone suddenly asked, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Liu Shu glanced at the young man and sighed, "For a moment, I didn't know whether to say that you have too much confidence in me, or to scold you for having no vision."

The warrior who had spoken earlier retreated in embarrassment.

Liu Shu shook his head and said:
"I haven't fought him, and even Xiao Tianhe and the others have been defeated. How can I be his opponent?"

"It was the two people from the Wanwu Association who went with me who fought with him, but ended up fleeing in a panic, completely losing face."

Someone from the Liu family whispered, "Ji Jingqiu doesn't even want to give face to the Wanwu Association?"

The Wanwu Association is considered one of the most powerful organizations in the Federation, especially with the absence of the current Grandmaster. The number of their Heavenly Beings is one of the best, and they even have two warriors ranked in the top 20 of the Heavenly Beings List.

When the warriors of the third tier left, the top 20 on the Heavenly Man List were almost the peak of the Federation’s current military power.

"What if Ji Jingqiu doesn't want to sell it today?" Liu Shu sneered, "If Wanwuhui really had the guts to turn against Ji Jingqiu, those two people wouldn't have come this time."

How could the western tribes not see through what the Wanwu Association was up to?

It would have been fine if it had succeeded in the end, but the western tribes appreciated your kindness, but they didn't expect it to end up being a joke.

Liu Shu didn't know whether Wanwuhui was too confident or had other plans.

But no matter which one it is, the current Wanwu Association can hardly get rid of the mask of a clown, looking ahead and behind, trying to pick peaches halfway, threatening with righteousness, but finally fleeing halfway.

Liu Shu shook his head and said, "We have temporarily postponed the cooperation with the Wanwu Association. They are either completely stupid and unaware, or they have great ambitions. Our Liu family will no longer get involved."

One of the tribesmen asked in a low voice: "Ancestor, next, are we really going to proceed with the 'division' according to our previous contact with the Federation?"

Liu Shu cast his gaze away and said calmly, "Why, do you have a problem with me? Do you want Ji Jingqiu to find an excuse to come to your house again?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the tribesmen knelt down hurriedly and explained in panic.

Liu Shu sighed:

"Okay, get up. I'm in a bad mood, so I can't help but vent my anger on you. But when it comes to the future of our family, you should bow your head when you should. I hope you can tell the difference."

"Ji Jingqiu's talent and ability are not inferior to the seven generals in the past. He has a complete background and identity, and he has no weaknesses. Why do you have to offend such a warrior who is at the peak of his career at this time?"

A group of warriors quickly agreed.

Afterwards, the entire Liu family began to cut flesh and bleed according to the previous agreement with the Federation. Some family members who had registered with the Federation were even required to serve their sentences.

For the Liu family, which had dominated for countless years, the gap was immeasurable. As many as hundreds of family members were imprisoned, and some were sentenced to death.

Someone approached Liu Shu, hoping that the old ancestor could help smooth things over with the official authorities.

When Liu Shu looked at this huge list of clan members and then thought about the list of crimes sent by the authorities, he suddenly lost interest.

She even began to understand what Ji Jingqiu did.

Just when the Liu family was in mourning, a piece of news suddenly spread, making everyone shudder.

Rumor has it that someone saw Ji Jingqiu somewhere in the west!
That guy hasn't left yet!

……

As soon as the news that Ji Jingqiu was inviting all the meridians to gather at the East 3 Huangxing Star leaked out, coupled with the news that the overall situation in the west had been settled, the two together created a fever of one plus one equals ten.

The entire martial arts sector of the Federation was overwhelmed by the three words Ji Jingqiu.

From "heart-to-heart battles between gods and men", to "suspected rumored successor of Mu Shuai", to "one man sweeping across all gods and men in the west"...

The staff of the federal official department responsible for maintaining the martial arts section looked at the martial arts section with only one thought in their mind - it's time to take a holiday.

In this case, what else needs to be maintained?
Any messy news will be drowned out in an instant.

Just like a few days ago, Hao Yangfan, a warrior who was originally ranked third on the Hidden Dragon List, successfully broke through the boundary between heaven and man and reached the realm of heaven and man. This kind of news, which would have caused a lot of heated discussion in the past, did not even make a splash in the current federation.

The entire federation is celebrating the new history.

at the same time.

Invitation letters were sent out from the Dragon and Tiger Dojo to various martial arts sects.

This time, it was not Ji Jingqiu who wanted to visit and ask, but to invite all the warriors of the hundred meridians to gather at Dongsanhuang Star.

The martial arts sects from all sides who received the invitation felt very complicated.

"They say that fortune changes, but isn't this happening too fast? Ji Jingqiu hasn't even come to visit us yet, and now it's our turn to visit him?"

"How could this Dragon and Tiger Dojo have such a rare talent..."

"Hahaha, let's go, follow me to the East 3 Brilliant Star to see the peerless strongmen born from our Baimai!"

"Ancestor, there are still two months left..."

"East 3 Brilliant Star? That's perfect. Let's see if I can reach a cooperation with Junior Brother Ji and let my disciples from Qingyuan go to Jiuzhou for training."

During this period, there were many warriors who fought against Ji Jingqiu in the same era. They received invitations and would set off together with the leaders and ancestors of the martial veins.

When the elders asked Ji Jingqiu about his performance in the Four Guardian Stars many years ago, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

I vaguely remember that on the night of the Four Guardian Stars, someone once said in front of his peers, either humbly or arrogantly, that everyone only needed to lower their eyebrows when seeing him in the future.

But today, there are more than just peers.

……

……

After bidding farewell to all the immortals in the west, Ji Jingqiu did not leave in a hurry, but walked again on the land of the western part of the Federation.

He wanted to prove something.

After he finished his journey to the west, the radiant vitality that he once felt suddenly dropped from the void, and it actually pushed him to complete the transformation of his innate Taoist body and took his physique to the next level.

He was not sure what kind of power this was. Hela said that this power was similar to the thoughts of all living beings, similar to the belief in incense, but completely different.

This power is extremely pure and as clear as the sky, far beyond the reach of the various beliefs of all living beings.

And if it is really the belief of all living beings, Ji Jingqiu is now half disabled. As a warrior, he is contaminated by the belief of all living beings. This means he has gone astray and his future in martial arts is bleak.

And with the help of this power, he not only jumped over the seventh shackles and lit up the heart moon between his eyebrows, but also completed the final transformation of his innate Taoist body.

It’s just a pity that after walking for a month, he tried to communicate with the heart moon between his eyebrows, but he didn’t catch any trace of the unknown.

In addition to capturing traces of this power, he also wanted to see if any noble family would break their promise.

This situation is not impossible, and once it occurs, he will let these survivors of the old era in the West see what the light-speed police response of the new era means.

And this trip lasted for a month.

During this period, he passed through mountains, rivers, and looked up at the stars in the sky. Everything he saw of the world gave him new insights.

The process of his sudden rise from the state after shackles to the state of mind and even the unity of heaven and man to the level of perfection was too fast, and he invisibly missed some insights.

And now, he was like a sponge, quickly absorbing what he had "skipped".

On the way, he also met old friends such as Yin Wushuang who were also on the journey, and agreed with everyone to meet at Donghuang Star in three months.

In addition, he finally found Brother Dao and Brother Myna who had been traveling in the west for many days.

The mynah bird, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, called him "brother" all the time with great enthusiasm and pulled him down to the roadside restaurant.

I have to mention that mynah birds have a very picky taste, and the food in the roadside restaurants tastes very good.

Even though he has realized the unity of man and nature, Ji Jingqiu still enjoys the satisfaction brought by delicious food.

Ji Jingqiu contacted Tiangong Chongfang through Brother Dao. He would bring Qingzhu to visit them and ask Tiangong Chongfang to help with the casting.

"Hey, it's a good thing that you contacted them through Ah Dao. If you sent a message directly to Tiangong Chongfang, they might think you were planning to come to their house to ask for advice."

Zhang Chongba chuckled and raised his glass in greeting.

The teasing tone in these words was enough to make even Leng Dao laugh.

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. No matter which force Ji Jingqiu visits now, the latter will have to think carefully whether their disciples have offended this person recently, causing this person to come to "ask for advice".

It's called asking for the way, but it's actually challenging the master.

That night, the three of them sat in a roadside restaurant and chatted all night.

When Leng Dao suddenly asked him about his choice for this trip to the west, Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said with a smile:
"I don't want to bow my head, so I can only let others bow their heads."

If you can't let yourself suffer, then let others suffer.

Leng Dao looked absentmindedly at the face in the night sky, which had grown a little more than when they first met, and slowly smiled.

I don’t know when.

The young man who struggled between life and death back then has now stood in a position that countless people need to look up to.

He is able and willing to help those struggling between life and death.

Leng Dao remembered that he had once told Ji Jingqiu that the Federation was too big, and if a person wanted to make his own voice heard, he had to unite a certain group of people and expand his influence...

Today, Ji Jingqiu has made his voice heard in another way.

As everyone was clinking glasses, Zhang Chongba curiously asked why Ji Jingqiu wanted to summon all the meridians to gather at Dongsanhuang Star.

Ji Jingqiu paused while raising his cup and said:

"There are some things I still need to spend time to verify, so I am not sure yet. However, the outcome is only between bad and worse, so summoning all the meridians to gather together is inevitable. I need to use the power of all the meridians."

Relying on the power of Baimai?
Leng Dao and Zhang Chongba looked serious.

With Ji Jingqiu's current strength, he still needs the power of a hundred meridians. Who is he going to fight against? ...

The next day, after saying goodbye to Brother Dao and Brother Myna, Ji Jingqiu finally set out on his return journey.

Now, he no longer needs a spaceship or Master Sui to protect him when traveling, but travels alone in the ocean of his mind.

On his way back, in addition to visiting Tiangong Chongfang and the Four Guardian Stars, he also visited Pingchuan Star.

Pingchuan Star.

Ji Jingqiu had just walked out of the ocean of his mind and stepped onto the top of the snow-capped mountain when the void in front of him suddenly shattered and a long snake tail flew in front of him!

It was as fast as a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and its force was so strong that it caused an explosion in the air!
Ji Jingqiu's pupils suddenly shrank. The power of this tail alone surpassed that of all the celestial beings he had seen so far!
He was prepared to dodge, but this tail was like a blooming flower, containing a thousand changes and its speed was astonishing.

Ji Jingqiu didn't have time to think, he just struck out with his palm, his palm seemed to contain all the worlds and everything, he took the attack head-on.

The heaven and earth seemed to freeze for a moment!
As the strong wind exploded and swept in all directions like a storm, Ji Jingqiu retreated several steps and released the force under his feet. The snow-capped mountain shook with every step.

He stood firmly on his feet and looked up. There was a strange black and white snake as thick as a finger coiled in the air.

It was none other than the former companion of Grandmaster Meng Pingchuan, the giant beast of the void, the World-Devouring Snake.

He looked at the palm of his hand and saw a deep red mark, and it felt like there were cracks on the bones of his hand.

It is worthy of being called the void beast!
Ji Jingqiu admired in his heart.

Witness this scene.

Meng Qianyun, who also rushed over, suddenly had his pupils shrink.

Xue Zu is currently in his youth, and his status is equivalent to that of a celestial being, but his strength is superior to many celestial beings in the Federation. However, he is still unable to compete with the Grandmaster, so he is above the celestial being but below the Grandmaster.

This is the pure-blooded void behemoth, known to be invincible in the same realm.

It can be said that Xue Zu is currently one of the foundations of the Federation. Especially in the absence of the Grand Master or Grand Master, he is one of the fundamentals for guarding the Federation.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu actually caught Xue Zu's tail with one hand without breaking it!

This kid's physique is just as outrageous as the rumors say!

Xue Zu stretched out the tip of his tail and scratched his head. He didn't expect the little guy in front of him to be able to take it so calmly...

Two years ago, he was a little guy who could be blown to death by a breath!

Immediately.

The dark golden pupils of this world-devouring snake suddenly stood up straight, and with a stretch, it crossed the void and came in front of Ji Jingqiu, staring at the "bracelet" on his wrist.

In fact, the reason why Ji Jingqiu came here to visit was also for his own World-Devouring Snake.

It has been almost a year since Gulu came out, but the little guy still hasn't made any movement.

Xue Zu stared at him for a long while, then transmitted his thoughts and said sullenly:
"Why is this color wrong?"

Ji Jingqiu: “…”

He was a little ashamed.

Indeed, the black and white of Snow Ancestor's snake body intersect, which is in line with the spirit of the Great Dao.

But the other side of my house, despite being as black as ink, looked like a burning charcoal, bright red with spots of red clouds.

And all this seems to be related to the Sea of ​​Bitterness. Under the energy of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, some strange changes occurred.

Xue Zu looked around and found that except for the color... everything from head to toe was wrong!

It’s bad, I’ve been led astray by this kid!

Ji Jingqiu coughed lightly, explained the little guy's current condition, and asked if there was any accident.

Xue Zu shook his head: "I ate too much, so I slept longer, but I almost digested it. As expected, following you is the right choice. I had a big meal right after I was born. When I followed Pingchuan, I never had a full meal!"

Hearing Xue Zu's angry voice, Meng Qianyun's mouth twitched and he pretended not to hear it.

"Uncle Meng." Ji Jingqiu looked over and said with a smile.

"Jingqiu." Meng Qianyun was a taciturn person and was not good at speaking. At this moment, he just nodded and invited him to sit down together.

The three of them walked into the wooden house. Xue Zu lay cross-legged on top of Ji Jingqiu's head and said that the feng shui here was very good.

After asking Xue Zu about the inheritance of the World-Devouring Snake, Ji Jingqiu discussed his current realm with Meng Qianyun.

As they chatted, the topic gradually turned to spiritual cultivation, and Ji Jingqiu asked about the [Zuowang] method above fetal breathing.

"【Zuowang】..." Meng Qianyun was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you know the difference between the Supreme Grand Master and the Grand Master?"

Ji Jingqiu suddenly became interested.

As far as he knew, the Supreme Grand Master actually also belonged to the Seven Realms, but was far superior to the Grand Master, so he was picked out separately and listed as a realm of his own.

Just like when he breaks through to become a celestial being in the future, the world will know where the "ultimate realm" of the celestial being is.

Perhaps, there will be another realm listed just for him above the three-step ladder to heaven.

"Isn't it because the Supreme Grand Master is infinitely close to the Eighth Realm?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

The current suppression of heaven and earth in the universe is extremely strict and severe, and no living beings above the seventh realm are allowed to appear.

According to what Ji Jingqiu has learned so far, this is related to the fall of the five pillars back then, but the specific reason is still unknown.

The departure of the Federation Grand Master leading his team this time was related to the changes in the rules of heaven and earth, and it is said that there is hope for further progress.

So that group of "old men" decided to give it a try, believing that it would be better to rely on themselves than on the younger generation.

"You can say that, but that's not the fundamental point." Meng Qianyun said slowly, "The real gap between the Supreme Grand Master and the Grand Master lies in the spiritual realm, that is, the gap between fetal breathing and sitting and forgetting."

Ji Jingqiu's eyes narrowed, he knew the lofty state of "Zuowang", but he didn't expect that this state was so special.

In the federal martial arts system, the introduction of the spiritual realm usually stops at the stage of fetal breathing.

Few people explain sitting and forgetting because this state is not widely circulated at all.

In the minds of most warriors, fetal breathing is the highest state of the mind. This state is extremely profound, and condensing the holy fetus of the mind is only the first step.

And the sitting and forgetting above the fetal breath——

Ji Jingqiu whispered: "Abandon the body, abandon intelligence, leave the form and knowledge, and be in harmony with the great communication. This is called sitting and forgetting——"

"good."

Meng Qianyun also looked longingly and said,
"Only by forgetting the body's senses and abandoning worldly wisdom can one achieve a state of unity with the great way of the universe. This state was also called a 'sage' in ancient times."

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

This step was somewhat different from the great saints he had seen in novels in his previous life.

The difference is not to be in harmony with Tao, to become the incarnation of Tao, to be selfless and fair and just, but to be sublimated from "enlightenment of Tao" to "enlightenment of self" in the unity with Tao.

Simply put, you will eventually return to your true self.

In fact, among the three disasters of heaven and man, almost every one of them carries the risk of losing oneself.

Whether it is the unity of man and nature with omnipotent supernatural powers, or the freedom and joy of wandering among the realms, they are all accompanied by the risk of losing oneself, which is a difficult hurdle that celestial warriors need to overcome.

Before this stage, the weight of a warrior's self is extremely important.

"Wuwang..." Ji Jingqiu whispered.

Those who practice sitting and forgetting gain through imagination and forget through imagination.

What is visualization?

It is also a delusion.

The state of sitting and forgetting is actually similar to his way of formlessness.

"The great way leads to different paths." Ji Jingqiu sighed, and then asked, "Uncle Meng, what is the realm above Zuowang?"

Meng Qianyun shook his head: "Beyond the state of sitting and forgetting, even our ancestors did not know, but there was a message saying that only the Seven Marshals ten thousand years ago had glimpsed the state of sitting and forgetting. According to legend, Marshal Mu had truly crossed that step."

Hearing that even the Supreme Grand Master didn't know the state of Zuowang, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but feel curious. He immediately asked for external help and asked Hela.

"Sitting and forgetting is the ultimate of the great way on this shore. Above sitting and forgetting is naturally the other shore."

the other side?

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself.

Fetal breathing, meditation and forgetfulness, and the other shore, are these the last three realms of spiritual cultivation?

"How can one see through the state of meditation?" Meng Qianyun shook his head and said, "Don't think so far for now. If you want to see through this state, you must at least become a Grandmaster, see where the Dharma Realm is, and then open up the way. If you can't even see the Great Dao, how can you become one with the Dao?"

Seeing where the Dharma Realm is... Ji Jingqiu's expression is slightly strange. The prototype of the magical power he created, [The Beginning of One Yuan], has integrated the wonders of the Dharma Realm.

However, his current spiritual cultivation was indeed far from sitting and forgetting. Even for fetal breathing, he had not yet realized all the mysteries and was only at the beginning.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu and Meng Qianyun discussed the practice of fetal breathing.

"When you reach the fetal breathing realm, your mind can travel through many planes of the universe, thereby analyzing the mysteries of these realms and extracting various energies from the endless world for your own use. The holy fetus will also be baptized from it. This is the true meaning of the fetal breathing realm. The gap in this realm is huge, and it all depends on personal 'accumulation'."

Meng Qianyun thought for a moment and said,
"You must complete the unity of mind and body as soon as possible, so that you will have the opportunity to pry open the portals to all realms and experience the true mystery of fetal breathing."

Mind-body unity?

Ji Jingqiu shook his head secretly.

His logic now is exactly the opposite. He wants to use the power of all realms to help himself achieve the unity of mind and body!

[The Great Method of the Formless Heavenly Demon]...it is really exciting.
