Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 277: Entering the Abyss Again and Entering the Kingdom of God

It was a bright yellowish light.

It is filled with purity, absolute perfection, wisdom and bliss, and even a sense of being as strong as a diamond.

It burns quietly, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the ignorance, as if to light a path of transcendence leading directly to the other shore for all living beings.

"Seeing that the five aggregates are empty, one can overcome all suffering..."

Feeling the fire on his fingertips, Ji Jingqiu whispered. He put away the fire with his backhand and responded to Hela:
"There are no Buddhas in this world."

“Worshiping Buddha is worshiping yourself.”

Hela raised her eyebrows. The Buddha's descendants saying that there is no Buddha in the world is no different from the son of a religion openly promoting that there is no God in the world.

Ji Jingqiu looked calm.

Although this time of deep comprehension was short, it was no less than a retreat for him, and he had a kind of Taoist charm that came from the precipitation of the Tao.

At this moment, the aura on him was restrained and not dazzling, like a deep current flowing beneath the quiet surface of the water, no one could see its depth.

Light without dazzling, still water runs deep.

"I still insist as before that there are no so-called Buddhas or gods in this world, but we can believe in everything that can make us feel at ease, and that is the so-called gods and Buddhas."

Ji Jingqiu paused and didn't continue.

Just as Mu Shuai never regarded himself as a Buddha, the lineage of the Tathagata in this world never promoted the so-called boundless Buddhist teachings.

Hela had no interest in arguing with him about this logic. For any strong person who had comprehended his own nature, such behavior was extremely stupid.

She only said one sentence:

"Ji Jingqiu, if you can continue to maintain this philosophy, when you reach Heavenly King Perfection, you may be able to leave relatively easily, provided that you really believe this is 'right'."

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

“Wait until you reach the Heavenly King level, then ask me this question again.” Hila did not answer him, but asked, “If I am not mistaken, your innate magical power incorporates the meaning of Samadhi and Vajra Glass… It is intended to help people get rid of evil and chaos, and enter into a state of concentration?”

Lajiang paused halfway through her speech and did not admit that there were some things in it that she did not understand.

Ji Jingqiu didn't explain his thoughts in detail to Lajiang, but just nodded.

This magical power is indeed a mixture of many things, but in the final analysis, its foundation still lies in the light of wisdom.

“How far can it go?” Hela asked tentatively, “Even ordinary people can use it to concentrate their minds and ignite a wisp of inner fire?”

Ji Jingqiu shook his head.

Hela breathed a sigh of relief.

When a warrior is in the spirit realm, he can ignite a fire in his heart, temper his divinity, illuminate his own place to a certain extent, and resist the erosion of the dark sea.

It would be extremely terrifying if Ji Jingqiu's magical power could really be "shared" with ordinary people on a large scale.

It is equivalent to allowing all living beings and spirits to ignite a fire in their hearts in advance without the need for practice!
Fortunately, it is not possible, otherwise even if this magical power has no lethality, just in terms of its effectiveness and the "merit" it may bring, there is hope of surpassing the supreme level!
Thinking of the illusory merits, Hila couldn't help but look at the lotus pond, at the lotus seed that was intertwined with black and white energy and originated from the method of reward body.

If this continues, this lotus seed may really bloom into a golden lotus of merit.

"Not for the time being. Ordinary people without a foundation in cultivation cannot enter a state of meditation with just a ray of heart light." Ji Jingqiu frowned and said, "I am now standing at a fork in the road. Should I sink this heart light or pursue the scenery from a high place?"

"What is the scenery from a high place?"

"To put it simply, it applies to ordinary people and to... gods."

Hila was shocked and said, “Can your magical power help the Supreme Buddha escape from chaos and ignorance?!”

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment and said:

"Not for now. The foundation of this magical power lies in me. If I want to help the Supreme Buddha get rid of chaos and ignorance, I must at least break through to the heavenly realm and further comprehend the light of wisdom."

“But if I become a celestial being, even without this magical power, I can help the Supreme Buddha escape from ignorance temporarily with the help of the Bodhi tree, and even use it as soil to breed Bodhi.”

Hela couldn't help but ask: "What exactly is this light of wisdom of yours?"

Ji Jingqiu did not answer, but said:
“Although I cannot help ordinary people enter a state of meditation, I can resist the erosion of the spiritual ocean to a certain extent. My original goal has been achieved, and this is the limit of what I can do now.

"Next, I need to plant this seed and see what kind of flower it can bloom."

Hela didn't ask any more questions, but fell into deep thought.

As far as she knew, the fundamental practice of the Buddha's lineage had three steps: self-awareness, awareness of others, and full awareness.

The fact that Ji Jingqiu was able to plant a Bodhi tree of his own nature in his inner world meant that he had entered the realm of self-awareness, or enlightenment.

This is also called [Achieving Bodhi and seeing the Buddha nature].

And now, relying on this innate magical power, he has actually stepped into the second threshold, awakening others, which is the trend of "leading people to self-awareness".

An innate magical power that can help all souls resist the erosion of the spiritual ocean, and it does not require any price...

Simply unheard of.

Hela groaned.

Ji Jingqiu is indeed extremely talented, but he is also too young.

However, there are some realms that cannot be made up for by talent. They are the accumulation of time and the sedimentation of antiquity, which cannot be overcome by talent.

Just like the spiritual realm, the state of fetal breathing spans the realm from heavenly beings to heavenly kings. The accumulation gap of this realm is too huge, even greater than the gap between fetal breathing and entering into meditation.

Even though Ji Jingqiu is a genius, the shackles have already condensed the holy fetus, and he still needs to accumulate slowly and temper his mind.

This step requires steady work and it is impossible to achieve success overnight.

But now, Hela saw hope for Ji Jingqiu to speed up.

She suddenly said:

"After the gods have passed through the three disasters, if they want to enter the realm of the Heavenly King Grandmaster, in addition to clearing the way, they also need to leave a deep impression in the hearts of a large number of living beings. Whether it is a great achievement or a bad deed that can stop a child from crying, only by having a large number of anchors can they pass the last level."

"If you promote this magical power of yours, it will be enough to help you quickly get through this accumulation period. In addition, this step is not only related to the breakthrough of the King of Heaven, the more anchors the better."

Ji Jingqiu was a little surprised.

Is there such effect?

When he first modified this magical power, he only wanted to stabilize the federation after it lost the gods in the future.

However, this step is still some distance away from him.

What lies before him now is still the unity of mind and body, then the boundary between heaven and man, and... the three disasters of heaven and man.

The celestial beings have the three disasters of "thunder, fire and wind". These three disasters target not only the warrior's body and mind, but more importantly the inner world.

Only after overcoming the three disasters can the inner world give birth to a new world and the foundation for the birth of life.

These three levels have stopped many celestial beings, because if they fail to pass the tribulation, they will die.

At this stage, if you want to move forward, you must either invest massive amounts of resources to consolidate your inner world, or use time to settle down.

The Federation made its fortune by relying on the Mind Ocean ten thousand years ago. But when the opportunities that the Mind Ocean provided were almost exhausted, it inevitably fell into a deadlock and never regained its former glory.

This is also the fundamental reason why the six major families can attract many celestial beings to worship them.

They have resources and channels for advancement, which can allow the Federation's celestial warriors to travel safely among the various realms and join the religious sects of various realms.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked, "What do you think would happen if the spiritual light of all living beings gathered on one person?"

Hila was puzzled by this guy’s question and said casually, “It’s impossible. No one can carry the spiritual light of the self-nature of all living beings. If someone can carry the spiritual light of the self-nature of all living beings, then he must have entered the realm of [God], which is the transcendent realm of the way of God.”

Ji Jingqiu nodded and said, "I want to take a trip to the ocean of the soul."

next moment.

Ji Jingqiu's mind "took a step forward" and entered the ocean of the soul.

……

The vast and deep ocean of the soul is silent.

A figure suddenly appeared in this darkness, breaking the silence.

Ji Jingqiu stopped in his heart and looked around. He was the only one standing here. It was as dark as ever, like the bottom of the deep sea, endless.

Ji Jingqiu resisted the habit of sweeping around the Buddhist kingdom and began to dive.

His mental perception extended like delicate tentacle, reaching into deeper areas, where there was a deep dark void that seemed to swallow up everything.

Even though Ji Jingqiu had already achieved fetal breathing and formed a holy fetus, he still felt a sense of danger from being "wanton" without restraint.

It feels like being targeted.

It was as if there were dense eyes coming from the darkness, staring at him from all directions.

This feeling is creepy.

Ji Jingqiu frowned. He was not in the abyss area, but in the outer layer.

There is still something here that makes him feel dangerous.

Ji Jingqiu did not stop there.

He wants to see what's going on!

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu was practicing the visualization diagram of the Buddha's Hell in Fire House.

The heart moon between his eyebrows spontaneously blazed and began to swallow up the chaos and nothingness in the ocean of his mind.

After entering a trance, one can use the fire of one's heart to absorb and exhale the mysterious substance in the ocean of one's mind, and refine an essence that is of great benefit to one's divinity.

The heart moon between his eyebrows has long replaced the heart fire and divine perception.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't see what Xinyue was taking in and out, but he could vaguely sense it, just like the air in the ocean of his mind, if there was air in the ocean of his mind.

In this breathing, a huge amount of silent and cold air rushed into Xinyue, trying to extinguish it.

Ji Jingqiu vaguely understood that the meaning of tempering divinity with the fire of the heart was essentially to use one's own heart fire to fight against the rules of the ocean of the mind.

As he activated the visualization diagram of the Fire House Buddha Hell, he evolved a pure land with himself as the center, and the sense of being spied on all around was gradually decreasing.

He still felt it was not enough, and as soon as he thought of it, an ancient and weathered green glazed lamp crossed the boundary between the world and the ocean of the soul and came to his head. Like the bodhi tree, it shed clear glazed light and supported the glazed world in all directions.

A large amount of cold "sea water" poured into Ji Jingqiu's heart, trying to extinguish his "fire".

He carefully felt the coldness, nothingness, emptiness, and even loneliness contained in the sea water, and then extracted a little bit of pure divinity from the sea water, pure and spotless.

This scene made Hela jealous.

Among all the Dharmas of the Buddha's lineage, the one that excited her the most was this fundamental Dharma.

Giving such pure and flawless divinity to Ji Jingqiu and Mu Shitian is simply throwing it away!
When all the prying eyes hiding in the dark disappeared, Ji Jingqiu strode calmly into the depths.

He went deeper and deeper, like a scorching sun tearing through the night sky, burning brightly in the ocean of the soul and falling slowly.

There were many warriors who were practicing in the ocean of their minds along the way. They felt the majestic energy not far away, looked up, and were shocked when they saw the movement.

It seems that just looking at it a few more times will make it dazzling.

Ji Jingqiu fell down like this, swallowing up the "sea water" in his heart wantonly, until he burped and was really full, and the heart moon between his eyebrows was brighter than ever.

When you reach the deep area, it is no longer dark and gloomy. In some areas, there is flickering heat, reflecting the chaotic scenes.

And deeper down, one can even see stars emitting heat and light. They are majestic divine kingdoms, sixteen in total.

The light they cast covered the corresponding area of ​​the federal territory in the ocean of the mind.

Ji Jingqiu gazed at the kingdom of the gods, continued to sink, and gradually entered the abyss.

At this point, even with the protection of the magic weapon, he restrained himself a little and stopped rushing around recklessly.

Relying on some mysterious sense, he traveled through the abyss, searching for somewhere.

finally.

Ji Jingqiu carefully came to the deepest part of the abyss.

This place is very close to the "wasteland" and he can even hear some long breathing of the soul coming from the deep darkness.

Here, Ji Jingqiu found a withered Bodhi tree and a silent Buddhist pure land.

After several years, he returned here again, and came here on his own initiative.

Ji Jingqiu walked into this silent Buddhist kingdom, recalling the scene when they first met.
Through Ji Jingqiu's sight, Hela also saw this deserted kingdom of God and narrowed her eyes slightly.

The bodhi that represents the self-nature has completely withered and withered, and even the pure land of the kingdom of God created by the supreme law has completely disappeared...

Is this guy really dead?

But she still wasn't sure.

Because Mu Shitian seemed to have taken the last half step, anything was possible with this step.

Ji Jingqiu wandered quietly in the desolate kingdom of God, looking for remaining traces.

The Bodhi tree rooted in nothingness in his mind swayed gently, forming a sharp contrast with the withered Bodhi tree in front of him. One withered and the other flourished, living in opposite directions.

“What do you want to do?” Hela asked.

"On a whim, I wanted to come and see it."

Ji Jingqiu stared at the withered Bodhi tree in front of him, with only a stump and a small half of the trunk left.

He sat cross-legged in front of the tree, the small Bodhi tree in his mind glowing with lapis lazuli light, stimulated to the extreme, faintly arousing.

In an instant.

Ji Jingqiu's consciousness was submerged in the sudden shining light, as if he was caught in an invisible storm.

A grand picture once again appeared in his mind.

——The branches are the way, and the leaves are the rules.

At this moment, the withered Bodhi tree began to be reborn amid the rumbling sound like thunder, sprouting branches and extending upward, like roads leading to the depths of the ocean of the soul, connecting to the portal of endless mystery.

Soon, a towering sacred tree that connected the sky and the earth appeared, spanning countless calamities. Its lush branches and leaves supported a piece of clear glass pure land inside and out. Every corner of it was filled with Zen. It spanned the boundless and immeasurable planes and connected the worlds of the heavens!

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu's body shook violently, and a figure with eyes closed and sitting cross-legged appeared in front of him, with his hands forming a seal, which was the Nirvana seal.

A majestic Buddhist spirit came over me, as if it could fill all the worlds and directions!
The figure slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, hiding a layer of glass, not like an illusion. He stared at Ji Jingqiu quietly, formed seals with his hands, and gently pressed a palm on Ji Jingqiu's heart.

Ji Jingqiu felt blessed and slowly closed his eyes.

This is……

The third move of Tathagata Palm is to save all living beings!

Ji Jingqiu fell into a strange state. The small Bodhi tree behind his head took root in the void and established a certain connection with the Bodhi tree in front of him that connected the sky and the earth.

One person and one tree, at this moment, simultaneously entered into enlightenment and inheritance.

I do not know how long it has been.

When Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes again, he saw the withered Bodhi tree stump again, and it was dark and cold all around.

It was as if the previous recovery was just an illusion.

But Ji Jingqiu knew clearly that all this was not fake.

The third move, saving all living beings, gave him some new insights into the field of "awakening others" and also allowed him to further improve the [Heart Flame Universal Lamp].

This magical power no longer relies entirely on himself. The character and temperament of the person being planted will also affect the growth of the heart lamp.

It is important to save others, but saving yourself is more important!
"What did you get? Is that bastard Mu Shitian dead or not?"

Seeing him wake up, Hela asked impatiently.

As Ji Jingqiu looked at the withered Bodhi tree in front of him, an idea uncontrollably emerged in his mind.

Speaking of which...

Does Mu Shuai have any relics?
