Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 275: The unity of mind and body, the Holy Temple’s expedition to the East!
Over the years, there has never been a shortage of daring and reckless people who have stolen the identities of disciples from various sects and temples and used them to defraud people.

Even in history, there have been many celestial beings, and even king-level forces have been fooled.

Although the disciples of Tiansheng Lake have their own identity identification, they cannot withstand the numerous "fraudulent methods" and the greed and stupidity of human hearts.

In other words, doesn't this also prove that Tiansheng Lake is famous and feared by all parties?
But a person who is suspected of being forbidden by God, using the example of Tiansheng Lake's disciple...

Tianqingzi had never heard of it.

He really wanted to say that such people didn't need to steal identities at all, and would be accepted as an exception even if they came to learn skills from a master.

"This is the appearance and Taoist name of the person we collected. You can also pay attention to it. Of course, we are not sure whether the appearance is fake."

The Taoist pointed his finger at Tian Qingzi's brow, and the latter instantly saw the physical features of a young man in his mind.

"Tian Qiuzi?"

Tian Qingzi murmured, carefully examining the appearance in his mind.

This is obviously the perspective of other warriors. The figure branded by the light of the soul, holding a sword, stands in the center of the world, full of vigor and vitality, sweeping across the entire field.

"Also using a knife?" Tian Qingzi's eyes suddenly showed strangeness. He stared at the man's face carefully. After confirming that it was not someone else, he breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s right. Although that person has the power to overpower the gods in the universe, he has only just entered the mind state. No matter what, it is impossible for him to travel through the various realms in the mind state…

"What's wrong? Do you know him?" The Taoist looked expectant.

Tian Qingzi shook his head and suddenly hesitated, "Teacher, should we still contact and win over Ji Jingqiu of the Great Universe as planned?"

Although Lord Tianyang died at the hands of Ji Jingqiu, he was not a disciple of their lineage.

Their original idea was to win over Ji Jingqiu.

After all, if they can pull the eternal number one in the Nine Continents of the Imperial Sky into the Tiansheng Lake, even the two ancestors will reward them handsomely.

Not to mention, Ji Jingqiu had recently displayed extraordinary divine forbidden combat power in the universe!

The purpose of Tian Qingzi's return this time was to confirm the "quota authority" with his master in order to win over Ji Jingqiu.

The middle-aged Taoist said tactfully: "I don't recommend continuing, because the hope is slim. We don't have many chips to offer, and we are not qualified to compete with other forces."

Tian Qingzi was puzzled and asked, "Why don't you apply to the higher-ups? As far as I know, the other sects that have connections with the Yanhuang Federation have expressed their intentions and are trying to make contact."

The middle-aged Taoist was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Your great-grandmaster Luo is planning to break into the seventh realm. All our resources are currently being mobilized in this regard, so we are not qualified to compete with other Taoist sects. In addition, the forces headed by the Yi sect are still insisting on the 'wanted' Ji Jingqiu to avenge your junior brother Tianyang."

The Yimai is the Taoist meridian where Lord Tianyang is located.

Tian Qingzi frowned, realizing the real obstacles that must be faced if this matter is to move forward.

Divine Forbidden Art is indeed rare, but the Divine Forbidden Art warriors from the Nine Continents Emperor Heaven have a history of killing talented warriors within the sect...

Tian Qingzi sighed, he thought it was too simple.

Even the ancestors above need to consider the attitudes of the various sects within the sect.

Big forces like Tiansheng Lake train disciples from within their own domains and rarely accept warriors from outside.

Training disciples often starts from scratch.

Essentially, even if a celestial being came to surrender, Tiansheng Lake would not accept him. Even if he was a celestial king, he would at most become an external guest official.

What is taken into consideration is "loyalty and recognition".

If a sect wants to gain a foothold and last long, internal cohesion is extremely important, so even the two ancestors sometimes need to consider the ideas of their disciples.

Although Ji Jingqiu was extremely talented, he should never have killed Tianyang Jun.

And Tianyang Jun was originally a disciple trained by a certain True Saint Patriarch's eldest disciple...

Just at this moment, a divine forbidden person pretending to be a disciple of Tiansheng Lake appeared.

In this case, compared to winning over Ji Jingqiu, it is obviously more in line with the overall interests of Tiansheng Lake to find this God-forbidden Warrior who is borrowing his identity.

Tian Qingzi said in a deep voice: "Even if we don't win over, I don't support maintaining hostility. We are about to enter the universe, and being an enemy of a forbidden god will bring us huge losses."

The middle-aged Taoist sent a telepathic message: "You can represent our lineage and continue to befriend Ji Jingqiu, and even reveal the movements of certain forces to him."

Tian Qingzi immediately knew the tendency of their lineage.

The middle-aged Taoist suddenly sighed and said, "Before the person is found, some people have already made plans to let this lost disciple go to suppress Ji Jingqiu for the Taoist temple."

At this point, he shook his head, very pessimistic.

After all, we haven't even found the person yet, and thinking so much about it is really too dramatic.

"By the way, I have submitted your name for review. You will be the first to be officially sent into the universe to plan a breakthrough in the mind of a celestial being. I have prepared some resources for you to help you break through the boundary of a celestial being."

The middle-aged Taoist said slowly.

"Thank you, Teacher!" Tian Qingzi said gratefully, "I will definitely break through to the heavenly realm and gain a firm foothold in the universe for our lineage!"

The middle-aged Taoist smiled bitterly and said, "Just do your best, there's no need to force it."

Tian Qingzi asked, "Is Master Luo already on the verge of a breakthrough?"

In the True Saint Daochang, among the ten sects, only those who have stepped into the realm of Heavenly King can be considered to have entered the middle and high levels, possess a certain voice, and become the pillars of the various sects.

The celestial being can only be considered as having made a preliminary step into the middle level.

The middle-aged Taoist said in a deep voice: "Yes, there is no turning back for Master Uncle. He must either break through the Heavenly King Tribulation and enter the Seventh Realm, or die! We are striving for the right to rule a small or medium-sized plane world to help him enter the divine way."

Tian Qingzi couldn't help but be stunned: "Master Uncle Luo wants to follow the path of the gods?"

In the three thousand worlds of Jambuvipa, there are only two paths that can be called the Great Way. One is the Shinto way, and the other is the integration of all paths of self-improvement, not limited to the martial arts way.

Someone once summarized that in the same realm, the Shinto forces are often stronger and the resources required for promotion are also "simpler", requiring only a stable and large number of believers, or "population".

Continuous invasion, development of believers, and plundering of believers is the path of Shinto.

In comparison, the same realm, similar to martial arts, requires more resources and the difficulties faced in breaking through are more difficult.

But why do so many people still choose the second path?

Naturally because——

free!

Although both of them possess great power, the second path possesses great freedom that cannot be compared to the Shinto path!
Some even believe that Shinto is not a concentration of great power within itself.

The path of Shinto lies in the herdsmen. Success or failure depends on the believers.

Especially for top forces like them, stepping into Shinto is tantamount to being controlled by others.

The middle-aged Taoist sighed and said, "I have no choice. My uncle's foundation in Taoism was only above average back then."

Tian Qingzi remained silent.

Old-established True Saint temples like Tiansheng Lake directly or indirectly control more than fifty planes of the world.

These planes of life are large and small, but without exception, they have long become the "pastures" of Tiansheng Lake.

With such a huge population base, Tiansheng Lake will not be short of "geniuses". It can even be said that they will not be short of celestial beings.

What they lack are people who can go further and the resources to go further.

Heavenly beings can still be constructed with genius, but there is no such concept for the king of heaven.

It primarily depends on the warrior's own foundation in Taoism, and the most direct manifestation is the strength of the heaven and earth Taoist field.

Tian Qingzi has seen too many warriors who, because of their eagerness for quick success and instant benefits in the early stages, have an unstable foundation in their Taoism. Even if they have broken through to the level of heaven and man, they are forever stuck at the first level and dare not overcome the three disasters of heaven and man.

Secondly, it is the resources for breakthrough.

If a celestial being wants to break through the threshold of the Heavenly King, he must either blaze a trail or follow the path of his predecessors.

The former is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Not only does it require a huge amount of resources, but there is also a vast and boundless road ahead. You have to rely on yourself to explore.

Although the latter has a path to follow, they have lost the "gift of the great road of heaven and earth that opens the way for them to walk."

Therefore, more resources are needed to complete the transformation of the inner world, open up the inner universe, and evolve the birth and death of a world.

The most crucial thing is that this step also requires the support of a large number of living beings to ensure the birth of the God of Martial Arts.

In the three thousand Jambuvipas, some small realms, even if they integrate all their resources, may not be able to help the celestial beings who take the second path to enter the realm of heavenly kings.

"The road ahead is long and arduous, Tianqingzi, practice hard. You have a chance to become a Heavenly King. Your ancestors and I are very optimistic about you. This early entry into the universe is your chance. Try to make friends with the local forces there."

The middle-aged Taoist said earnestly.

Just when the master and disciple were getting along harmoniously, someone suddenly came from the sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

"Brother Hanyang! Hey, isn't this Junior Brother Tianqingzi?"

A vigorous, white-haired, slightly plump Taoist strode over, laughing and very enthusiastic.

Tian Qingzi's teacher, Taoist Hanyang, asked in surprise: "Junior Brother Hanyin?"

"Haha, it's junior brother. I just came back from outside and came to see you!" The slightly plump Taoist laughed.

Taoist Hanyang was confused for a moment and felt suspicious.

Not long ago, they negotiated with the Taoist sect in Hanyin regarding their uncle's breakthrough, but were ultimately turned down.

Now Hanyin has taken the initiative to come to the door, this is a no-brainer...

He asked tentatively, "Does Hanyin Junior Brother's visit have anything to do with my Uncle?"

The slightly plump Taoist's eyes flickered and he smiled: "I have heard about this matter. As for Uncle Luo's breakthrough, our lineage is willing to do our bit to help him."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Hanyang felt unhappy and suspicious.

The slightly plump Taoist looked at Tian Qingzi standing beside him and said eagerly, "This must be Junior Brother Tian Qing, right? He's really a handsome man!"

Tian Qingzi felt strange and thanked his uncle.

The slightly plump Taoist turned around, his expression became serious, and he said solemnly: "Brother, I will not beat around the bush with you, tell me who that Qiuzi is. Our lineage owes you a huge favor. You should also know that with your current situation, you can't afford to support a divine forbidden person!"

Taoist Hanyang was shocked in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface and said, "Brother, what do you mean? I don't quite understand."

The slightly plump Taoist complained, "Brother, why are you still pretending? News has come from Yaochi Fairyland, saying that the man is an old acquaintance of Tianyang Jun of Yimai and Tianqing Zi of your lineage!"

Taoist Hanyang fell silent and looked at his disciple beside him with a complicated expression.

Tianqingzi felt dizzy and there was a buzzing sound in his head.

Does he know Tianyang Jun?

When did this happen?
When did I first meet Qiuzi?
He suddenly realized something -

This news came from the fairyland of Yao Chi, so it must be correct.

But now Tianyang Jun can no longer speak...

Doesn't that mean he's the only one who knows him now?
……

The ancestral land of Tiansheng Lake is not in any of the three thousand worlds of Jambuvipa, but is located on a colorful lake in the void.

This was a huge universe that was once as huge as the heavens and earth. In the moment before its destruction, all high-energy matter gathered spontaneously to form an energy vortex. Eventually, Saint Luofu stepped in and captured it, permanently solidifying it into a floating "spectacle".

Later, Luofu Zhensheng opened up the Taoist tradition of Tiansheng Lake here.

At this moment, in a corner of the lake, inside the first sect of Luofu Zhensheng, a young Taoist priest with high eyebrows and thin lips looked around and said calmly:
"The latest news is that the reason why Qiuzi pretended to be a disciple of Tiansheng Lake that day was because he was old acquaintances of Tianyang Jun and Tianqingzi of 'Xuanmai'."

After these words were passed on, the figures sitting cross-legged around them slowly opened their eyes, and the divine consciousness that had been wandering in the various realms began to return.

Someone murmured, "Tianyang..." Tianyang Jun was the disciple of their lineage and was placed with high hopes.

"Knowing Tianyang? It's true that dragons only travel with tigers!"

"It's a pity that if Tianyang had been cultivated by us and inherited the supreme method in advance, he might not have been qualified to touch the divine forbidden area."

"Has Patriarch Luo Yan figured out Tian Qiuzi's whereabouts?"

The young Taoist shook his head: "There are almost no clues, and it is impossible to infer. Even Luofu Patriarch has made a move, but it is a pity that it is a fragment of the cosmic light, and it has been annihilated. The Tao does not follow, and the cause and effect are no longer there."

Suddenly someone said, "Since you are an old acquaintance of Tianyang, you may be able to investigate from his past travels and interactions. After Tianyang entered the sect, he rarely went out and his social circle was not large."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded slowly, agreeing with this statement.

The young Taoist said calmly:
"Just send a message to Tian Qingzi of Xuanmai directly. You guys go and do it in person. Make sure to confirm the true identity of Tian Qiuzi as soon as possible."

“Since he is an old acquaintance of Tianyang, as long as he is willing to join our lineage and go to the Great Universe to suppress Ji Jingqiu, we can recommend him to comprehend the supreme method in advance and let him compete with the two people from Yin Yang Dao Palace and Wanjie Mountain.”

……

……

Qingtian Temple.

As one of the newest sects in the Three Thousand Jambuvipas, the extremely mysterious female leader of the Qingtian Temple is deeply feared by all parties.

This person is in the realm of Daozu, but he can rely on a mysterious ancestral weapon to fight against the true saint of Yin-Yang Taoist Palace.

Jian Shiqi, who had just returned to Qingtian Palace with his master, was unexpectedly summoned by the palace master.

When he thought of that person's reputation, even though Jian Shiqi had a firm swordsmanship, he couldn't help but feel terrified.

Jian Shiqi walked all the way into the depths of the Qingtian Palace, mustering up the courage to look up, wanting to take a look at the ancestor of their sect.

The moment he raised his head, his mind completely lost consciousness, and he only felt that the pair of eyes he saw in his first and last glance seemed to embrace all the beauty and all possibilities.

Amidst the clear light, a gorgeous woman slowly walked up to Jian Shiqi. The clear light around her splashed down into the mortal world, giving rise to different avenues and different rules.

She saw what she wanted from Jian Shiqi's memory and raised her eyebrows slightly. The facial features did not match and the aura was also very different from what she remembered. Could it be that something went wrong on her whim?

The flawless and pure light behind her suddenly became brighter, vaguely intertwined with a vast and endless river. She tried to use it to trace someone's position in the river of fate, but what she got in the end was a blank.

"Tian Qiuzi..."

She smiled gently and waved to call over a female nun who was in seclusion. The latter had beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and was wearing a snow-white dress covered with clouds, water and mist. Her expression was cold and had a sense of indifference and loftiness, as if she was heaven's will, high above.

"Master." The nun bowed respectfully.

When she saw her female disciple, the woman's smile did not diminish, but even became more intense, and her voice was light and indifferent:
"Miaozhi, you have realized that the will of heaven is my will and have stepped into the forbidden threshold of the gods, but do you see the road ahead?"

The nun frowned and replied in a cold voice: "Reporting to the master, the disciple is still looking for the way."

"Then go to the universe." The woman smiled, "Go find your uncle, he will teach you what it means that all living things are superior to the will of heaven. When you understand this, you can come back and inherit my legacy."

……

After an unknown amount of time, Jian Shiqi walked out of the ancestral temple in a daze.

After seeing the white-dressed lady in front of them, Sword Seventeen perked up and bowed respectfully:
"Seventeen greets the senior sister!"

This senior sister is not only the number one of their generation, but it is also rumored that she has been accepted as the last disciple by the master!

Miao Di said in a cold voice: "You will go to the universe with me."

Jian Shiqi was bewildered. He hadn't figured out what had just happened in the hall. How come in the blink of an eye, the senior sister asked him to accompany her to the universe?
He suddenly came to his senses.

Is this also what the founder meant?
……

……

After several days, Ji Jingqiu finally returned from the ocean of the mind with the holy fetus.

The divine fetus and the holy fetus returned to their places. When the mind returned to the body, Ji Jingqiu felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. He stretched out of habit, and his spine creaked like a dragon.

In an instant, the sky and the earth were like a dormant dragon awakened, and spring thunder exploded!

When he sat down, the ground shook violently, and the ground within a thousand miles trembled like thunder out of nowhere.

Ji Jingqiu's expression changed slightly, and he reacted and tried his best to diffuse the shock, thus spreading it outside the urban circle.

In an instant, countless gullies were torn into the ground, mountains trembled, rivers changed their courses, and strange phenomena appeared between heaven and earth!
Ji Jingqiu's expression was stiff, his hands stretched straight above his head. He remained stretching for a while, not daring to move.

soon.

Yang Yan, Taoist Bai Lu, Hong Hu, and even Lu Tong, who was still wandering in the universe with his sleeves fluttering, all came over to take a look.

After seeing Ji Jingqiu's stiff posture, everyone laughed and shook their heads, asking him to take it easy and not to destroy Tai'an City.

Old Master Jin from the Canglang Jin family came over with a sad face and asked me to be quieter, as we almost destroyed the magic circle centered on Tai'an City.

Ji Jingqiu nodded repeatedly in embarrassment, and finally persuaded the old man to leave.

During this time, Yang Yao came over curiously to take a look after hearing the news, and told his junior brother that someone from the Ji family called him not long ago. Unfortunately, he was in seclusion at the time, so he should remember to call back when he has time.

After seeing everyone off, Ji Jingqiu finally had time to carefully feel the changes in his body.

"This is……"

He carefully felt the changes in his body.

At this moment, his body has completely merged with the heaven and earth, and the vibration frequency of the entire planet is converging with his life frequency.

It can be said that he is the heaven and the earth, and the heaven and the earth are him.

[Heaven and earth were born with me, and all things are one with me]

He could even feel that there was some kind of rich vitality that he had called out from the depths of this planet.

It is not only subtly changing the environment of the planet, but also feeding back to his body and inner world.

It was precisely because of this that his sudden movement just now caused such a huge shock.

People say that the spine is like a dragon. His spine is now equivalent to the dragon vein of this planet.

At the same time, his spiritual fetus began to grow imperceptibly under this kind of feedback.

This is the unity of man and nature. It is the channel for the human body to communicate with all things in the universe. It can also strengthen the "mind" and generate wisdom from concentration!

Theoretically speaking, there are naturally no fools in the realm of heaven and man, and even if there are fools, they will gradually "become wise" in the process of the unity of heaven and man. This is the wisdom that arises from concentration.

Suddenly, Ji Jingqiu realized something, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out,
"Mind and body become one?!"

His mind-body unity, which had not made any progress for a long time, unexpectedly soared from zero to 30% after he returned from his spiritual journey through the various realms!

With his physical and mental strength, this 30% is almost comparable to the complete mind-body unity progress of other mind-phase warriors.

Ji Jingqiu was trying to figure out some mysterious changes happening inside his body, and some parts of his body were rising and falling.

As his mind and body progressed, his inner visualization began to reflect back to his physical body, condensing with each part of the flesh and blood. The light of the mind illuminated and nourished the body, from the inside out and from the outside in.

Mind-body unity
For Ji Jingqiu, this is also a disguised form of tempering his body in the sea of ​​suffering.

"I was away for more than half a month this time..."

Ji Jingqiu carefully retracted his stiff posture and began to calculate the time he would leave this time.

Including the travel back and forth, and the waiting to be "fished", this trip took him nearly twenty days, and there was still half a day left before he would host a banquet for Baimai.

"I've improved it by 30% in one try. If I do it twice more, won't I be able to achieve the unity of mind and body?"

Ji Jingqiu's eyes were sparkling and he was full of anticipation.

At this time, Hela poured cold water over:

"Do you think you can replicate this adventure every time? Do you really think you just took this trip casually? In my opinion, the last slash you made was the source of your rapid progress in the unity of mind and body. You accidentally completed an act of [opening the sky]."

Ji Jingqiu benefited a lot from this experience, so he didn't bother with La Jiang about the gains and losses. He contentedly began to flip through the terminal, which contained the latest news that his senior brother had collected for him.

He originally wanted to go into seclusion directly, but he heard that the Ji family, which had been self-isolating for a long time, had received news.

Ji Jingqiu scanned his mind and took in all the major and minor events that had happened in the Federation recently, and couldn't help but look slightly stunned.

In the short twenty days since he left, quite a lot has happened in the Federation...

The most eye-catching among them are the six major families.

About twenty-one days ago, there was internal strife in the Yang family, and Qin Qingjue of the Qin family came to suppress it with the Heavenly Sword.

Until today, the Qin family's Heavenly Sword still hangs over the Yang family's!

And ten days ago, the Ji family was unsealed, and everything was as usual, there seemed to be no waves, just ebb and flow.

Ji Anquan sent him a message, asking him to contact him when he was free, and included a serious expression at the end, as if the situation was very bad.

But what surprised Ji Jingqiu the most was...

It was a series of messages sent from the War Control Department.

This included the frequent movements of forces from various realms on the Heavenly Road, and the alliances of the Wanwu Association...

Among this series of information, the most eye-catching one is the Temple civilization.

Seven days ago, the Temple Civilization began its expedition to the East!

"Dong Zheng... is really a crazy woman."

Ji Jingqiu murmured.

“The lineage of the Holy King has always been like this.” Hela sneered.

Ji Jingqiu reviewed all the information again, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he began to try to contact Ji Anquan.

……

Ji family.

Ji Anquan sat on the high platform with a smile on his face. He seemed gentle, but his smile was faint and cold.

"An Quan, we were wrong this time. We are willing to pay any price. This matter ends with us. Please don't implicate our younger generations."

Below, a middle-aged man with the Ji family's special seal said in a deep voice.

This kind of seal can suppress the warrior's mind and cut off the unity of man and nature. It is a rare and precious item.

The elder of the Ji family beside him said softly: "An Quan, we are all family, the crime should not be committed by future generations."

Ji Anquan's eyes moved around and finally he shook his head.

The middle-aged man rushed forward and shouted angrily: "Ji Anquan! According to the clan rules, the children of the Ji family do not kill each other. Have you forgotten the rule?"

Ji Anquan coughed:
"Don't worry, Seventh Uncle. I won't deal with you personally. I'll just hand you over to the Federation for processing."

"As for the clan rules..."

He stood up slowly, his eyes became dark, without any trace of human emotion, and his voice became indifferent.

"Do the clan rules allow the clan members to trade with the four demons and to conclude an alliance with the forces of the three thousand Jambuvipa?"

"Since you treat clan rules as nothing, why do you use them to pressure me?"
