Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 294 Negotiating the Price, the Sacred Object of the Great Dao (Happy New Year)

No.

Bai Yuan and the other two remained silent. They had never heard of anyone being passively pushed towards the boundary between heaven and man.

I don't know if this person is bragging just to "raise the price", which makes him seem a bit out of place and inconsistent with his self-centered and self-important demeanor a few days ago.

The boundary between heaven and man is the first restriction from the universe. It requires one to withstand the calamities of heaven and man in the dark, and can be regarded as the prototype of the three disasters of wind, fire, and thunder.

Breaking through this realm marks the entry of martial arts into the next stage, and the start of the cultivation of the inner world.

This stage is a major transformation of the martial arts, from borrowing the power of heaven and earth and the law of principles, to relying on nothing outside and seeking within oneself. Even if heaven and earth perish, I will not perish.

The three of them were at the top level of mind not far from being a celestial being, and Bai Yuan was once a perfect celestial being. It was unheard of that there were people with such a solid foundation that they would be passively pushed to the boundary between celestial beings and finally have to break through.

But just in case...

But soon, the three of them had another idea in their minds.

What if it's true?

After all, they had never heard of anyone being able to defeat the Divine Ban with just one sword.

"I wonder what situation Fellow Daoist Ji is in now?" Bai Yuan asked politely.

Ji Jingqiu said truthfully: "I felt that the boundary between heaven and man was right above my head. It broke as soon as I poked it, and it was slowly falling."

This is the true statement without any exaggeration. He had completed the last step of the unity of mind and body two days ago.

In the past two days, he has been integrating, checking for omissions, adjusting his innate body, and filling in some minor deficiencies after the unity of mind and body. He also used the water of the sea of ​​bitterness to wash his body and consolidate his foundation of Taoism.

At this point, he truly stood at the top level of mind.

For this reason, Ji Jingqiu also specifically consulted other top-notch mental states on how they practiced afterwards.

Everyone’s answer was to continue to hone their Tao foundation in the hope of sensing the boundary between heaven and man.

"Slow descent?"

Bai Yuan was also a little confused.

He had experience in breaking through the boundary between heaven and man, and had experience in protecting the younger generations of his sect in breaking through the boundary between heaven and man many times, but he still could not understand what Ji Jingqiu meant by "slow descent".

Is the boundary between heaven and man being "lowered"?
Could it be related to the turbulence of the rules of the universe? Will it be easier to break through the boundary between heaven and man in the future?
This is not a good thing... Bai Yuan deduced in his mind.

"Brother Ji, have you realized where the Dharma Realm is?" Huang Zhiyan suddenly said.

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

The other two were not surprised by this. Almost all the divine forbidden warriors in the past dynasties would comprehend the Dharma Realm in the state of mind and lay the foundation for the great way.

Since Ji Jingqiu has already begun planning to break through the boundary between heaven and man, he must have found the key to establishing the Tao.

Huang Zhiyan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Brother Ji, have you found your own path?"

Ji Jingqiu said calmly: "It's still being perfected."

Since the trip to the Ke family, he has completed the initial integration of the path of martial arts and created the [Beginning of One Yuan].

This is not only a supernatural power, it is also the Dao field of heaven and earth, and it is closely related to his inner world. There is no problem in saying that it is where he establishes his Dao.

At the Baimai gathering not long ago, he further improved [The Beginning of One Yuan].

Huang Zhiyan said quietly: "Brother Ji is indeed an extraordinary person. Even at this stage, he is still constantly raising the height of his own Tao foundation."

Bai Yuan suddenly realized that the so-called "decline" actually refers to Ji Jingqiu's own "elevation"?
Tian Qingzi was also secretly shocked. At what height would one have to reach to feel that the boundary between heaven and man that had blocked countless geniuses was just a layer of paper that could be torn apart with a single poke?
The three of them looked at each other, and all felt the burning fighting spirit, and decisively began the little tricks before the competition.

"Haha, I heard that the struggle between the two saints in [Tiansheng Lake] has become more intense, and there is a trend of 'separation'?" Bai Yuan smiled with a dagger hidden in his eyes.

"Indeed." Huang Zhiyan agreed and nodded, "In the past, [Tiansheng Lake] had two saints in one family, and all the realms worshipped them together. How glorious and prosperous was it? But in the end, it was still inevitable that there could not be two tigers in one mountain."

Tian Qingzi fired back:

"If I remember correctly, the last divine forbidden person in the Holy Temple died because of 'going crazy'? It's absurd that such a dignified divine forbidden person ended up in this situation."

"Doesn't the Phoenix Blood Palace only accept female disciples and true Phoenix Blood descendants?"

At this point, the three began to attack each other.

"I have long heard that the inheritance of the Phoenix Blood Palace is terrifying. When I became a saint in the past, there was a terrifying vision of blood burning the heavens!"

"The power struggle within the Holy Temple is not necessarily better than that within the Heavenly Holy Lake, right? I heard that there is someone in the Holy Temple who is expected to make further progress in this era. Can you really give up the position of 'Cult Leader' this time? Brother Ji, don't let yourself end up serving others!"

"Isn't there a divine ban on [Tiansheng Lake]? Can Brother Ji really be cultivated if he goes there again? I'm afraid there will be another internal struggle!"

"How good is the inheritance of the Holy Temple? The one at the top of the Patriarch's Hall was dug out from the ruins!"

Ji Jingqiu remained silent, with no intention of stopping them, and did not even blink, for fear of missing the fight between the three people.

Not everyone can know such secrets. Only those opponents who know each other well know the inside story.

When the three of them had almost finished arguing, and either they were at a loss for words or if they continued it would really involve the fundamental interests of their respective families, they began to glare at each other.

At this time, Ji Jingqiu finally stood up and consoled:
"Please stop arguing. I am a realistic person. I will talk about things in the future today. What matters most is getting the spiritual practice resources."

The three of them didn't know whether to be speechless or amused for a moment. The meaning of this person was very clear. He didn't want to eat the big cake, but only look at what is in front of him.

This made Bai Yuan hesitate for a moment. He was different from the other two. He was amazed by Ji Jingqiu's talent and decided to win over Ji Jingqiu. His application had not yet been responded to by his superiors.

If he really had to come up with too many substantive things, it would be difficult for him to agree to it all at once, and he would need to discuss it with his superiors, otherwise it would just be empty talk.

Huang Zhiyan was very confident. After she reported Ji Jingqiu's battle record, the top officials in the palace took it very seriously.

None of the disciples jointly trained by [Wude Palace] and [Qingtian Temple] have ever defeated Ji Jingqiu. If they can be won over, most of the problems can be solved at once.

Tianqingzi has even less pressure.

The ancestor said that as long as he brings back the divine ban, no matter who he is or what promises he made beforehand, they will recognize it!

So he made the final decision:
"【Tiansheng Lake】can accept any request from Brother Dao."

Huang Zhiyan: “?”

Who are you fighting with?
Bai Yuan frowned. Are the two True Saints from [Tiansheng Lake] distributing the goods unevenly or are they trying to buy at the bottom?
One God is not enough, do we really need two to preach together?
For a moment, he really didn't dare to "catch up" rashly.

As far as he knew, the top leaders of the temple were indeed fighting for the position of "leader".

If he could really win over a forbidden god, the ancestor would definitely be very happy, but the people below might not be happy, and it would require a huge amount of resources...

Bai Yuan had a headache. His family knew their own business well, and he was afraid that if he agreed now, it would be easy to turn against him in the future. What the girl from Phoenix Blood Palace said came true.

Just as Huang Zhiyan was about to speak, she heard Ji Jingqiu say:

"I don't ask for much. I am about to break through the boundary between heaven and man. There is an important breakthrough. I need a magical medicine to lay a solid foundation for myself and establish the foundation of the inner world."

Huang Zhiyan frowned slightly. A magical medicine...what kind of "magic medicine" is it?
Tian Qingzi smiled and said, "There is no shortage of 'medicine fields' under the jurisdiction of [Tiansheng Lake]. What kind of rare medicine does Brother Ji want?"

Ji Jingqiu said sincerely: "Category? I don't insist on that. As long as it's a 'magic medicine', it's fine."

Tian Qingzi's smile froze there.

After a moment, he asked tentatively: "Brother Ji, are you talking about the 'divine medicine' that is above the heavenly medicine?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

There was silence for a moment.

Especially Tianqingzi.

It was not that he was confident before, but he did not expect that the miracle medicine that Ji Jingqiu mentioned was really just a "miracle medicine".

This term should not come out of the mouths of young people like them.

The word "tian" in "tianyao" is taken from the meaning of innateness. Innateness carries some of the patterns of the great way. For the celestial beings, it is a rare treasure. Even the king of heaven has medicinal effects.

And the magic medicine...

Its rarity lies not in the fact that it is useful to anyone, but in that it is extremely rare, so rare that it is hard to find in the world.

At least Tian Qingzi had never seen it, and even in the Taoist temple, it could be said that it was unheard of.

"...Is this all the compensation Brother Ji needs?" Tian Qingzi asked tentatively. He thought, no matter how rare the magic medicine is, the two ancestors should have some in their collection, right?
When the time comes... pull one out?
"I need a magical medicine as a foundation for my breakthrough to the realm of heaven and man." Ji Jingqiu was tactful. It seemed that he said nothing, but he explained everything.

The three of them understood immediately.

The money needs to be collected in batches, and the work will only be done after the money is collected each time.

Huang Zhiyan watched the show with a smile, wanting to know how the person who had just made such wild remarks would end up.

There are only a few magical medicines in [Phoenix Blood Palace], planted in the founder's temple, and they are all treasured by the founder. It is not impossible to take out one of them to win over Ji Jingqiu, but it requires the founder's consent, and she has no power to represent it.

The problem is, to break through to the celestial being, one needs a magical medicine. What about breaking through to the realm of the king in the future?
Is the Three Heavens of Heaven...?
Tian Qingzi recalled the words of the ancestor in his mind and said in a deep voice: "【Tiansheng Lake】accepted!"

Bai Yuan cursed the rich man inwardly, and at the same time felt a surge of envy and jealousy. What a magical medicine! When he had reached the level of a celestial being, he had only taken a few special pills and potions made with divine medicine as raw materials.

Huang Zhiyan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Ji, give me a few days."

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

At this moment.

Conversations were also taking place in Ji Jingqiu's inner world.

"Tell me, which of these three companies should I choose?"

Rationally, Ji Jingqiu is more inclined to the [Phoenix Blood Palace]. After all, because of Ji Shuai's relationship, this force has a closer relationship with the Federation.

【Holy Temple】Not clear.

[Tiansheng Lake]...The relationship with him is a bit complicated.

You can't really go there and be Qiuzi that day, right?

But then again, Tianqingzi came here this time probably because he guessed that the so-called Tianqiuzi was related to him.

Hila said calmly, “Except for the Holy Temple, you want the other two. In this way, don’t you have two magical herbs?”

Ji Jingqiu was speechless. Only children make choices, why do adults want them all?
Suddenly, he said with some realization, "You mean, you want me to just take the benefits without doing anything? That's difficult. These companies are not fools. They must sign a contract."

Ji Jingqiu shook his head. He had thought about it before, but ultimately felt it was unrealistic.

Hela thought to herself, this guy really wants to eat, drink and take things, and then not do anything?

Hela warned him, “I advise you not to think like that. It’s fine if you have no connection with them, but once the cause and effect is established, you will be the one who broke the oath first. Haha, then you will know what a saint’s method is.”

Ji Jingqiu asked cautiously: "Even the universe can't stop it?"

"The universe also has its own destiny, and all living things have their own cause and effect destiny."

Ji Jingqiu frowned. The methods of a true saint were a little beyond his understanding.

"All they want you to do is to establish the Tao."

Hella Road,
"It's impossible for them to really give you the core inheritance. At most, they can give you some 'scraps' as a medium for you to enter the universe in the future."

"Whether you establish one or two, it's the same. There is no difference. Moreover, you already have your own core foundation. It can be taken away at any time in the future. It will not affect you."

Ji Jingqiu had an idea in mind, and looked at Huang Zhiyan and said, "Okay." Then, he looked at Tian Qingzi, "Brother Dao, I think you and I need an in-depth conversation."

Bai Yuan was forced to be eliminated. Although he wanted to win over Ji Jingqiu, he did not have enough authority and he himself was just a struggling seeker.

……

"That's Huang Zhiyan from the Phoenix Blood Palace. I don't know the other one. Is she here to discuss something with Ji Jingqiu?"

"Could it be true that some people are saying that some True Saint Dojos that have not cultivated any Divine Forbidden Spirits have taken a fancy to Ji Jingqiu and want him to be the leader of the universe? Can we be assured of this?"

The warriors from various realms who were still staying on the East 3 Brilliant Star keenly discovered the two people leaving the High Sky Taoist Palace.

"There's nothing to worry about, it's just cooperation."

"Establishing a religion and preaching the gospel... this Ji Jingqiu has really soared to the sky."

"That's right. I am a divine forbidden being, standing above all other living beings."

"The divine ban is amazing, but you have to see what you are comparing it to! 'The leader of a religion', how many divine bans in history can have such a ready-made great opportunity?!"

For a moment, everyone was silent.

When a warrior reaches the pinnacle of the Heavenly King, if he wants to continue to advance, he needs to establish his own tradition and spread his teachings throughout the world.

The saints’ “establishing the Dao and preaching” in the universe made countless heavenly kings and even heavenly masters jealous.

The great blessings behind this preaching are the key.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of the universe, they are destined to only watch with envy for the time being.

……

After Bai Yuan and Huang Zhiyan left, Ji Jingqiu and Tian Qingzi were left sitting opposite each other.

Tian Qingzi got straight to the point, his eyes burning as he asked, "Brother Ji, have you traveled through all realms and taken the Taoist name 'Tian Qiuzi'?"

Ji Jingqiu did not deny it, but instead asked, "Did Tiansheng Lake cancel the wanted order for me?"

Tian Qingzi shook his head: "Before I came out, the wanted order had not been lifted yet, and according to the master's instructions, the person I brought back this time was only Tian Qiuzi."

Ji Jingqiu probably had some understanding of the meaning of [Tiansheng Lake].

Is this considered self-deception?

"You mean, if I choose [Tiansheng Lake], I still need to accompany you back?" Ji Jingqiu frowned.

How can safety be ensured?
Please note that this time we are heading to the headquarters of [Tiansheng Lake], where two True Saints are in charge!

The strength of [Tiansheng Lake] is indeed terrifying. If it were not for the internal discord, it would be one of the top ones even among the many [True Saint Dojos].

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, he didn't know who he was scolding last time... or were both of them here?
Tian Qingzi was embarrassed, and he also knew the key point, so he said: "We must go back and pay our respects to the ancestor."

After that, he said solemnly: "The Patriarch is such a great man, his words can be the law of all realms, he really wouldn't deceive Brother Ji, that's really..."

He really wanted to say that it was really embarrassing.

The King of Heaven might still covet the bodies of some Sons of Destiny and attempt to start over again, but a True Saint... can annihilate a small world with just one glance and has already seen through Destiny, so why would he do this?

Ji Jingqiu glanced at him sideways, his eyes seemed to say, you know nothing.

"The troubles of a peerless genius, all the true saints are coveting me..."

Ji Jingqiu murmured, communicating with Hila in his mind, whether he could use the "Formless Heavenly Demon Art" to create an avatar with divine forbidden combat power.

Hila rejected his idea, but couldn’t help but ask: “What inheritance did that bastard He Donghuang give you? Didn’t he pass on the fundamental law to you?”

Ji Jingqiu shook his head. What Marshal He had given him was all in the 20,000-year-old swords. He was still in the process of comprehending them and using them to sharpen his own sword intent.

As for the fundamental law...

Ji Jingqiu thought of his last trip to the Ke family.

During this period, he was hesitant and wavering, not knowing whether he should use his original true self to control all things and realize formlessness; or to let all things return to one, see through the non-forms of all things, and see the true self of Tathagata.

Afterwards, two knife lights appeared in his mind.

A single sword cut the heaven and earth apart, dividing the past, future and present, differentiating yin and yang, sorting out the four images, and educating the five virtues...

Ultimately, it transforms into all things and evolves into the infinite primordial beginning!

The other sword was vast and boundless, mixed with great destruction. It regarded everything as false, and saw through all things, and saw the Tathagata.

It seemed to be telling him - see Yuanshi first, then see Tathagata.

"That bastard borrowed a lot of methods. He also borrowed the magical powers and Taoist foundations of the other six people. To use the words of your Federation, he is following the path of the fusion of Buddhism and Taoism."

"He has learned many different kinds of magical powers, but only a few of them have been able to achieve perfection. One of them is a method of splitting one's body, called 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'. It is said that it was only a legend in ancient books at first, and there was no specific method for practicing it. But he actually created it."

Ji Jingqiu was shocked. One Qi transformed into Three Pure Ones?

Is this also a coincidence?

In fact, many ancient cultures of the Federation can be found in the past life, such as the Dragon Tiger Dojo, the Shinsai Dojo...

The former couldn't be more obvious.

As for the latter, the word "Xinzhai" was mentioned in Zhuangzi's "The World".

"You can go talk to that Knife. But the threshold for practicing that clone technique is very high. You need to be at least a Heavenly King, and you can't maintain it for long."

Hela pointed him a way, paused, raised her head slightly and said,

"In fact, your [Demon Transformation] is very interesting and worth exploring. I think it is as good as his [One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones], and even better."

Is it because of the integration of the Great Dream Technique... Ji Jingqiu said silently in his heart.

"Oh, right." Tian Qingzi said seriously, "If you are willing to follow me to [Tiansheng Lake] to pay homage to the ancestor, you can also compete with the divine prohibitions of other true saints! This time, you should not have had a good fight with the divine prohibition of [Wude Palace], right?"

"Oh? Which one?" Ji Jingqiu became interested.

A victorious person brought him the method of condensing the energy of the five virtues.

The divine prohibitions of these various Taoist sects have an extraordinary inheritance and often they have grasped the true meaning of the Dao in their minds, which requires a Heavenly King to comprehend.

He is indeed his best opponent in promoting and perfecting [The Beginning of One Yuan].

"It's the divine ban of the Yin-Yang Taoist Palace!"

"Well." Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment, "If Brother Dao can bring me a magical medicine in advance, then I will consider signing a contract with [Tiansheng Lake] and going to the ancestral home of [Tiansheng Lake]."

Tian Qingzi's eyes fixed, but he did not refuse, he just nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll ask the higher-ups. Wait for my news."

……

……

"Who?"

Chang Sheng, who was recuperating in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes
"Son Chang!" The visitor saluted and said politely, "I am from the Yin-Yang Taoist Palace. I dare to visit you because I want to ask you, is Ji Jingqiu really as invincible as the rumors say?"

Chang Sheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "The celestial being who killed himself?"

The person who appeared in front of him was a middle-aged man with slightly gray hair and a very strange aura.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Chang." The man bowed again.

Chang Sheng suddenly asked, "Is Fang Shoubai out of seclusion?"

"Yes, Grandmaster Fang has come out of retreat and is currently blocking the gate of [Tiansheng Lake], preparing to challenge the divine prohibition of [Tiansheng Lake]."

When mentioning the sect's divine prohibitions, the middle-aged man couldn't help but reveal a smile that seemed to indicate he was feeling proud.

Chang Sheng nodded slightly: "Tell him that it's better not to come here, because Ji Jingqiu can just cut him with one blow."

The middle-aged man's smile suddenly froze.

"Chang Shengzi, you're joking." He said politely, but his expression became cold, as if he was just saying directly, you can't do it yourself, and you can't drag others into it.

Chang Sheng could naturally taste the meaning of it, but he just smiled, not annoyed at all. He shook his head and said calmly:
"You wait, you have no idea where his strength lies. It seems that he is not far away, as if you are standing on the first floor and he is on the rooftop. But when you are lucky enough to go to the rooftop, you will find that it is the blue sky."

Suddenly, he added: "It is limited to before the heavens, um... before the wind and fire disasters."

The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "The Holy Son of the Five Virtues Palace, do you admire an outsider so much? Has Holy Son Chang lost his desire to win in martial arts?"

Chang Sheng laughed and didn't take it seriously. He just looked at the person in front of him with pity.

The boundary between heaven and man is a comprehensive consideration of the mind and body.

After breaking through this level, the unity of mind and body will take another step forward, and you will be baptized by the laws and principles of heaven and earth, forging a body of law of heaven and earth, with the laws and principles contained within without any omissions, and you will be able to become one with heaven and earth with just a move.

At this point, the physical body is no longer important, and all focus will shift to the cultivation of the inner world.

It is because at this point, it is extremely difficult to advance physically. The benefits are not proportional to the effort, and it is far less cost-effective and important than opening up the inner world.

After all, no matter how strong one's physique is, it can never compare to a body of law of heaven and earth blessed by a world.

But Ji Jingqiu, no one knew what path he took, and no one knew how much money he spent, but he managed to train his physique to the point where it was several levels stronger than that of an ordinary celestial being!
Changsheng's evaluation of this guy is...

Very rich!
Even richer than him!
In the past, in order to help him condense the energy of the five virtues in the mind realm and create a state of being endowed with the five virtues, the master did not hesitate to spend the foundation of several plane worlds.

But even if he was a true saint disciple, it was impossible for him to spend huge amounts of resources on the insignificant training of his body.

This is too wasteful!

If one wants to reach the heights of martial arts, the key is to comprehend the principles of law, not the body.

Therefore, Chang Sheng didn't think that anyone could defeat Ji Jingqiu in the mind realm.

The supernatural powers are exactly the same, the minds may be at about the same level, and both have achieved fetal breathing, but the physical bodies are one level or even two levels apart.

How to fight this?
That guy didn't even need any Taoist magic to fight them. He could suppress them with just his absolute "Taoism".

It truly means breaking all barriers with one force and defeating all opponents!
If he wants to compete with Ji Jingqiu, he can only wait for the help of God, so he just added that he must at least survive the two disasters of wind and fire.

By then, the inner world will be completed, and the original physical advantage will be greatly weakened with the blessing of the inner world.

"Unfortunately, after the battle not long ago, my Five Virtues Qi has not yet reached the point where it can condense and manifest into a divine weapon."

"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, I am really looking forward to fighting with you in the battle of heaven and man."

Chang Sheng's eyes were burning as he murmured, the five virtues were surging around him, the morality was faintly condensed into a picture scroll, the blessing turned into a wish-fulfilling sword, and the Xuanhuang merit turned into a Xuanhuang pagoda floating above his head...

The middle-aged man was horrified and quickly stepped back, fearing that he would be enveloped by it.

This kid has actually reached the point where the five virtues communicate between heaven and earth and manifest the holy objects of the Great Dao!
The most important thing is that this place is the big universe!
Chang Sheng glanced at him and said calmly: "Remember my reminder just now. It can be regarded as repaying the karma of [Yin Yang Taoist Palace] lending me a ray of Yin Yang Qi."

Say it.

He closed his eyes again to heal.

This time, when he comes out of seclusion, he needs to return to the [Wude Palace] and go to another ascension place to break through the celestial realm.
