Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 350: Karma, Favor, and Encounter
Taoist Qinglian looked at the figure in the void with interest.

He was a young man with delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. He looked a few years younger than Ji Jingqiu, but his aura and Taoist charm were far-reaching. He was competing with the True Saint of Demon Court for the control over the surrounding universe.

With a single thought, the power of his mind swept across the starry sky. He controlled the laws and principles of the Tao and propped up a magnificent palace in the sky. He stood in the middle of it, surrounded by the air of chaos, and controlled the vast world.

"This little guy is stronger than before."

Taoist Qinglian said to himself that he was not afraid of this person. Instead, he introduced him to Ji Jingqiu.

"This person's Taoist name is Wanjie, and he is known as the Wanjie Taoist. The Taoist school he founded is called Wanjie Mountain. He became a Taoist only 30,000 years later than me. He has a rift with Mu Shitian of your Federation and regards him as an enemy."

At this time.

A soft sound like the roar of a dragon or a tiger was heard, and a halberd that was being nurtured slowly stretched out from the young man's brow, surrounded by rolling chaotic lightning. The murderous aura rolled across the galaxy, and it was extremely domineering!

The diffused aura alone was cold enough to tear the void apart; the sharp halberd blade seemed to illuminate eternity, suppressing all legal principles beneath it.

This is a divine weapon of the true saint level. It is not a projection, but its true form!

What Ji Jingqiu had seen in the universe in the past were all incomplete projections, limited to the celestial level. What appeared before him now was the true form of an awakened divine weapon!

When he saw the halberd, Ji Jingqiu's pupils suddenly shrank.

It was this halberd that once forcibly broke through the restriction of the ancient road, temporarily blocked the long river of time, and tried to break into Wuwang Mountain!
It turns out that the person who tried to break into Wuwang Mountain and tried to capture him that day was a strong man from Wanjie Mountain? !

Because of the "wanted" notice from Tiansheng Lake and Yaochi Fairyland later, he once thought that the person was a strong man from Yaochi Fairyland or Tiansheng Lake.

"Demon Fairy, do you really want to be my enemy?"

Taoist Wanjie's tone was cold and indifferent. He took out his magic weapon, with a high fighting spirit and extremely fierce. He confronted the True Saint of the Demon Court, and a cold and gloomy murderous intent filled the air.

He showed with his attitude that he was determined to win this mission and was not afraid of actually going to war with the Demon Court.

Under normal circumstances, the True Saint of the Demon Court would choose to give in and would not fight to the death with Wanjie Mountain for an outsider.

但今日显然不䐌。

A ray of fairy light pierced through the universe, and a large amount of fairy light rain fell, with an astonishing auspicious aura.

The true saint who had been shrouded in fairy light finally revealed his true form. He was a white-haired fairy demon. His appearance was similar to the elves that Ji Jingqiu had seen before. His black hair was flowing, and he held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, holding up the Daluo heavens.

“Wanjie, you are too presumptuous.” The demon fairy scolded coldly, “Don’t you even look at who else is present!”

Wanjie had a blank expression on his face. His eyes flashed across Qinglian without stopping, as if he saw nothing.

"Daoyi, are you pretending not to see me?" Taoist Qinglian said with a faint smile, "If I had known what would happen today, I should not have saved you back then."

Wanjie frowned and said in a calm voice, "Could it be Brother Qinglian? I never thought we would meet again in this life. Why don't you move to Wanjie Mountain so that I can serve you?"

"Million Tribulation Mountain?" Taoist Qinglian said with a half-smile, "I dare to go to the Burial Sea, but I dare not go to your Million Tribulation Mountain."

Taoist Wanjie said without changing his expression: "Brother, you are joking."

Taoist Qinglian's expression changed, and he shouted coldly:

"In one word, get out of the way or not!"

Taoist Wanjie was silent for a moment, his brows furrowed, as if he was caught in some kind of contradiction.

Taoist Qinglian just looked at him coldly, without saying anything more, and was not afraid at all.

Taoist Wanjie suddenly fixed his gaze on Taoist Qinglian and said in a deep voice:
"Is that Dao Fruit with you?"

Taoist Qinglian sneered and said, "Think carefully about how much karma debt you owe me."

Wanjie looked at him deeply, and without hesitation, he put away his halberd, turned around and left.

"Daoyi owes a lot to my brother, but unfortunately we are on different sides today. When we meet again in the future, Daoyi will give in three times and repay my brother's kindness by three times."

Watching this person leave, Qinglian was not surprised at all, and telepathically transmitted to Ji Jingqiu:
"The karmic path of your cheap master, coupled with my karmic debt of favor, even a true saint would have to stay out of the spotlight for a while."

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "Is Master Mu's Dao Fruit really in your possession?"

Qinglian glanced at him and said, "Of course not, but does he dare to bet?"

After saying that, he looked at the demon fairy, bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."

"You are too polite, Brother Dao." The demon fairy whispered, "But you still need to be careful. I can sense that Wan Jie is not far away and is still not far away. I will personally send you off."

"Sorry to trouble you, fellow Taoist."

The demon fairy of the Demon Court personally sent them far away before returning.

After leaving the Demon Court area.

Ji Jingqiu asked: "Shall we go to the Holy Temple next?"

He actually has some friendship with the Holy Temple, but it's a "negative" one. He used to fight for the Taiyin Palace and took down all the warriors of the Holy Temple.

Taoist Qinglian shook his head and said, "If the man in the Holy Temple is really the guy I guessed, then there is no need to look for him. He knows very well that the Four Demons must be eliminated."

"How far are you from achieving heavenly perfection?"

He suddenly changed the subject and asked about Ji Jingqiu's current state.

"Not far away, there is only one more thunderstorm left." Ji Jingqiu said, "It's mainly because I gained too much recently, and I still need to polish it for a while, and I'm a little uncomfortable."

Taoist Qinglian looked at him for a few times and said:

"With your foundation, what breakthroughs did you achieve before that you are still a little uncomfortable and need to be polished?"

"I heard that you have already mastered the characteristic of [Omnipresence], and now you have mastered [Great Luotian]. Then, aren't you only one illusory avenue and the realm of the Heavenly King away from becoming a Heavenly King?"

Ji Jingqiu wanted to say that, in fact, the Heavenly King's Realm also had a prototype. He refined one of Wu Zhou's clones, split up the incomplete illusory Taoist fruits of the [Formless Heavenly Demon Great Law], and introduced several illusory avenues to the [Beginning of One Yuan], which he is still in the process of "digesting".

Although it is not very suitable, his [Origin of Oneness] is inclusive enough to barely evolve the prototype of [One True Dharma Realm].

As for the illusory road to promotion to the Heavenly King, the path he will take next must be the path of opening up the way. It is impossible for him to use Wu Zhou's road as the foundation of his own Heavenly King status.

"I see." Taoist Qinglian seemed to have an idea and nodded. "I will arrange a few battles for you to hone your skills after the breakthrough."

He took Ji Jingqiu through Taixu and turned in another direction.

"The Three Thousand Jambuvipas are too big. Just considering the total territory of wild growth, it has already surpassed the universe."

“Although there are not many True Saint forces, they are not few either. Only a part of them are preparing to enter the universe this time.”

"There are a small number of True Saint Dojos that have completely sided with Youhai. There is no need to fight for these people, and they cannot be won. They must be the enemies of the Federation."

Taoist Qinglian paused and said, "I have observed this trend since I saw Dao Yi."

"Why does he regard Master Mu as his enemy?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

"In his opinion, it is a dispute on the path of Taoism. I have no intention of commenting on it." Taoist Qinglian shook his head. "You will have many opportunities to interact with Wanjie Mountain in the future. You will know when the time comes."

The road is full of space for two people.

But Daoyi's so-called dispute over the path seemed a bit absurd to him.

Does Daoyi dare to follow the path taken by Mu Shitian?

Don't talk about him.

No one in the world.

The five pillars are still alive, so we dare not speak lightly.

"arrive."

Taoist Qinglian led Ji Jingqiu to a star field.

"What we are mainly trying to achieve this time is actually these secluded temples and sects..."

suddenly.

Taoist Qinglian's face darkened.

Ji Jingqiu soon discovered the reason.

Not far away was a young man with red lips and white teeth, who looked like he had just visited a friend and was about to leave.

Daoyi!

He looked a little surprised, smiled, bowed to Taoist Qinglian, then turned and left.

“Does this count as an encounter?”

Ji Jingqiu murmured,

"Is this person creating a 'chance encounter' to deliberately erode your favor?"

"Tsk, a true saint resorts to such means. He is also a ruthless person, so shameless that he doesn't care about his skin." Taoist Qinglian did not reply immediately. Instead, he frowned and looked at the place where Daoyi walked out.

I'm afraid Daoyi's trip is not just to "repay" his debt of favor, but also to block their way.

"Did you go to the Four Guardian Stars this time? Did you see the divine sword?"

Taoist Qinglian suddenly asked, and then said meaningfully,
"Keep it well. Your magic sword will appear sooner or later."

Ji Jingqiu agreed with this deeply.

"Let's go and see if my eloquence has deteriorated over the years."

……

……

Yanhuang Federation.

"Brother, what does this mean?"

Zhang Buzhou asked in a deep voice.

Across the projection, Yin Tianping, who had just come down from the border battlefield and had no time to change clothes, said calmly:
"A few years ago, when the Jiuzhou portal was first opened, Master actually mentioned the 'Sun God Dynasty'. It seems to be a message left by the founder."

"Now that Master Ji has contacted the Sun God Dynasty, both sides have decided to send a group of disciples to exchange with each other. The Sun God Dynasty specifically asked my Chunyang Dao disciples to participate in the exchange. I don't have the time, and you are the only suitable disciple in the dojo."

Zhang Buzhou frowned. He had been practicing hard since he came back from Gu Lu. He did not dare to slack off for a single day and had broken through to the mind realm not long ago.

This progress is not slow, but compared with someone else, it is far behind.

Yin Tianping said seriously: "When you get there, perform well. Don't waste the opportunity that Master Ji fought for you. Don't bring shame to our lineage! You will lose face for our sect!"

Zhang Buzhou nodded seriously, his eyes deep.

Looking at this junior fellow apprentice, Yin Tianping's eyes showed a little relief.

I was a bit impetuous in my early years, but fortunately I never gave up after failure. After continuous polishing over the years, I have become more and more refined.

Now, although he is still in the state of mind, he has some of the profound and majestic bearing of a master.

His future achievements will surpass those of his senior brother.

Zhang Buzhou suddenly said: "Reach the peak of the mind phase as soon as possible, even if the foundation is not stable."

After that, he added: "According to Master Ji, when you go to the Sun God Dynasty, you might as well mention the name of the master a few more times to see how the Sun God Dynasty changes its attitude towards you."

Although somewhat puzzled, Zhang Buzhou still nodded in agreement.

After hanging up the communication.

Yin Tianping turned around and looked at the starry battlefield not far away.

"What? You can't bear it anymore?" Zhang Jianshen, the contemporary Taoist master of Tianshen Taoist Temple, said with a smile when he saw the god coming over.

Yin Tianping sighed and said, "The situation is not very good."

In fact, the border has been completely breached, and it is all supported by the Twelve Gods.

The most difficult thing is the invasion of the Lord's Heavenly Road and the counterattack of the ocean of the mind, especially the latter.

Recently, individual phenomena of "what you think is what you want" have appeared in the Federation. This is a "phenomenon" that is enough to sound the alarm for any top civilization, and it will lead to destruction if they are not careful.

Zhang Jianshen laughed and said, "What's that? Young people should read more history. There have been many more tragic and serious events in history, but isn't the Federation still standing at the present moment?"

Yin Tianping smiled and said, "Senior Zhang is right."

The Federation has many problems, big and small, and has had a bumpy journey over the past ten thousand years, encountering many troubles, but the Federation is ultimately lucky.

Because when the sky is about to fall, there will always be someone willing to stop it.

Yin Tianping turned around and looked at the divine light that lit up in the federation, penetrating heaven and earth, like the Tower of Babel, connecting the boundary between man and god.

……

……

【Jiuding Mountain】

"I'm sorry, Brother Dao, I [Jiuding Mountain] am not ready to come out into the world, and will not help any party."

"You are wrong, my friend. How can there be people who want to escape from the world when the sky is falling?"

"Brother Dao, what you said is too serious. It is just a catastrophe. It cannot threaten the foundation of this realm."

"No, I don't know..."

"Brother Dao, I will not hide it from you. Before you came, three or four saints had already approached me, but I refused to agree to any of them."

"…Then I am sorry to bother you, fellow Taoist."

"I'll see you off, brother."

……

【Duo'etian】

"My senior brother is about to go through the great calamity of True Sainthood, and he is simply unable to spare the time to participate in this war, so you have made your trip in vain." The old Taoist bowed.

"The Guardian Saint of Tiansheng Lake is also about to face the calamity." Ji Jingqiu suddenly said, "The great calamity is about to begin. It is far better to face the calamity actively than passively."

What he said at this moment was what Master Shouzhen said to Wutan that day.

However, the old Taoist priest who was welcoming them on behalf of Senior Brother suddenly dropped his expression without warning, and even glared at him.

If Qinglian hadn't been there, he would have slapped this annoying young man to death with a single blow!
Taoist Qinglian smiled bitterly and said, "What does this young man know? He has not even lived for a hundred years. Fellow Taoists, please do not be angry with him."

In the inner world, Hela, who knew the inside story, bent over with laughter:
“Puchi, the great calamity that his senior brother experienced a million years ago was the result of the Tiansheng Lake’s helplessness! If it weren’t for the mediation of others, he would have almost not survived that time!”

Ji Jingqiu: “…”

The old Taoist snorted coldly, and it was not known whether he was really angry or just looking for an excuse, and he began to send the guest away.

Taoist Qinglian shook his head and did not argue, as he already knew the man's intention.

The decision made by the True Saints cannot be changed by any persistence.

He took Ji Jingqiu to the next place.

But unfortunately, it seemed that their good luck on this trip had run out, and they got very little after visiting five places in a row.

The most that can be done is to remain neutral and not help each other.

As for those who are unwilling to promise neutrality, their meaning is actually very clear.

If you are at your peak, I won't take action.

But if the situation turns out to be the opposite, I don't mind following fate.

Moreover, the further it went on, the more sarcastic the other party's attitude became. Even when Taoist Qinglian came in person, he would not show up, but would send his fellow disciples or younger generations to deal with the situation.

Faced with this situation, Taoist Qinglian didn't say anything. He just said a few simple words and then took his leave.

On the way, he told Ji Jingqiu calmly:

“It’s pretty good actually.”

Having said that, Ji Jingqiu could still feel certain emotions from his expression and tone.

really.

"Not everyone can see the situation clearly and distinguish the importance of it." Taoist Qinglian added lightly.

This person, who had not yet left the territory of the saint's temple he had just visited, spoke out openly, not fearing at all that the true saint would hear it.

Shortly after.

They visited a ashram again.

This time, this holy temple that chose to stay away from the world actually had another guest.

The True Saint of this family came out in person to welcome Taoist Qinglian, which was considered the full courtesy.

Hearing the purpose of his visit, he smiled and glanced at Ji Jingqiu behind Taoist Qinglian, and said:
"In fact, I also intend to leave the world, and I am wavering between leaving the world and avoiding it. It just so happens that the Taoist friends from Tiandi Xuanmen and Wanjie Mountain are here for this matter."

"How about this, let the younger generations learn from each other. Brother, you know me well. I value the 'future' the most."

Taoist Qinglian had no expression on his face and said calmly, "Jingqiu, go and learn from others' methods. Be careful not to kill anyone by mistake."
