Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 377: Saints Clash, Cang Qing Returns

Ever since Ji Jingqiu opened up the great way of cause and effect, he has been studying the various wonderful uses of the way of cause and effect.

The advantage of the law of cause and effect lies in its ineffable mystery and unfathomable power.

For example, if someone were to use divination or destiny-finding techniques to search for his whereabouts, they would only see chaos.

Even if the Heavenly Venerable sensed the long river of fate and searched for his traces, he could not see him even if he did not want to because of the sense in his heart.

When it comes to the mysteries, cause and effect are connected with fate, which is far superior to other theories.

But when it comes to frontal attack, he is not as good as other great ways, as he has not yet found the killing power based on the great way of cause and effect.

But what happened today almost overturned his understanding of the law of cause and effect.

This time can be seen as a collaboration between him and Kuhe.

Not only did it directly change the fate of the two kings and lead them to "misfortune", but it also led to one thing after another, and ultimately resulted in a thousand-mile dam being destroyed by an ant hole.

These two probably died unclearly and could not rest in peace.

"Most of my fellow disciples do have missions. In addition to searching for rare objects, they also need to explore some dangerous places. But Master has pity on me."

Kuhe was also a little nervous at this moment.

This scene was so weird, a king inexplicably exploded and died in a battle, not because the enemy was too strong, but because there was something wrong with him.

This kind of death is enough to be ranked among the top 100 most frustrating ways to die in all the worlds.

He whispered, "Master ordered me to come out to seek opportunities and accumulate enough Dao merit as soon as possible. Fellow Daoist Wanfa, I feel that this place is a bit 'dirty'. Although the source of Dao is precious, my life is more precious."

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but look at this guy.

Considering this guy's fate, it is hard to say that his master released him for the sake of his fellow disciples and the sect's overall plans.

Besides, if you can disgust other people, that’s an extra bonus.

"Fellow Daoist, let's go. I feel like this place is a little dangerous. Maybe it's one of those 'dangerous places'."

Witnessing the mental distortion of the Second Heavenly King of the Immortal Mountain, which actually caused the Nether Sea to appear, Kuhe took a breath and hurriedly advised.

Just when Ku He was about to pull Ji Jingqiu away, he suddenly found that Ji Jingqiu was looking at the top of his head with a very strange look.

He felt something and looked up.

Above the dark Dharma Realm, strands of liquid shaped like rays of light flowed down and landed on his head.

Ku He's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a lost voice:

“Daoyuan?!”

……

In a vast starry sky.

The sacred mountain is majestic and magnificent, beyond words, standing tall in the starry sky, like the center of this world and starry sky.

On top of the sacred mountain stands a sacred palace.

Inside one of the palaces, it seemed as if thousands of bronze bells rang at the same time, alarming everyone.

But the number of warriors coming out from all directions was very small, and almost all of them were at the celestial level. They looked at each other in bewilderment at the source of the sound.

"The elders of the sect went to the universe this time to cooperate with the ancestor to suppress the Cangqing lineage. Is this... an accident?"

"It's not an accident. This is a war, and death is not uncommon. The elders have already left a life-saving backup plan in the sect."

"Yes, with the characteristics of a Heavenly King, it is difficult to kill him. Unless a Heavenly Lord who has seen through his own destiny takes action, it will be difficult for you seniors to die!"

Just as everyone was discussing.

Two phantoms emerged, hazy and blurred, but they stood upright in the sky. Their real bodies were far away in the sky, and the mere arrival of their projections made many celestial beings feel depressed.

"Greetings to the two ancestors."

Many celestial beings hurriedly bowed and paid homage to the celestial master of the sect.

The two Heavenly Lords glanced over, their expressions suddenly revealed a fierce look.

In the two palaces, two candle lamps flickered and gradually went out. All kinds of life-saving methods could not prevent this scene.

The two men acted decisively, but it was already too late and could not reverse the situation. They could only save part of the true spirits of the two fallen kings.

"What a cruel method. Are you trying to kill everyone along the trajectory of fate?" one of the old men said coldly.

Another middle-aged Tianzun snorted coldly:
"The true spirit is incomplete. If it is not completed, the soul will also be incomplete in the next life. Such a method of killing them all is at least for a Heavenly Lord. Did the two of them suffer a disaster in Daluo Heaven?"

The old man did some mental calculations and frowned:
"No, Kunsha and Shouzhong went to the Great Universe, and they dealt with only the affiliated forces under Cangqing. Among them, there was only one woman who was worth seeing. She entered the ranks of Cangqing's direct lineage, and she was not even a Heavenly King."

"Don't let me know who did it." The middle-aged Tianzun said in a cold voice and clenched the true spirit in his hand.

“Could it be that the blockade of Daluo Heaven has been broken, and the support of Cangqing Clan has arrived?” The old man’s expression became serious, “Quickly notify the other Heavenly Kings, you and I will go to see the battle situation over there with the Patriarch.”

After saying this, the projection of this person immediately dissipated and reported the news back to the main body.

……

At that time, the universe was in turmoil. The deaths of the two heavenly kings actually set off the tide of the Great Dao in the Dharma Realm. A rare source of Dao flowed down and landed on the top of Kuhe.

Ku He wiped his head and was stunned for at least a few seconds, as if he had not expected such a great fortune to come.

When he reacted, he said happily:

"Brother Wanfa, this is a great blessing from heaven! I will record this scene and keep it for later, and show it to my fellow disciples when I get back!"

Afterwards, this guy excitedly found an unknown object in the inner world, recorded the scene on video, grinned, and made a gesture, showing a momentum of turning the tables.

When he returns this time, let’s see who dares to say that Kuhe is a jinx!
Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, this was all the bad luck that had accumulated being triggered at once. Was this the beginning of good fortune after all the hard work?
After the bad luck that brought the two kings to death one after another was poured out, the opposite appeared. The strange object and the source of the Tao that they actively sought fell from the sky on their heads?
Ji Jingqiu intercepted part of the Tao source flowing down from above. This thing was quite strange, between the tangible and the intangible.

The Dao rhyme was so rich that he only refined a part of it in his inner world, and he felt a vast Dao rhyme filling the world.

The True Spirit Pool, which had become the center of this world, responded immediately, like a whale sucking in a river, sucking the Dao rhythm that was flowing through heaven and earth into the pool.

It is worthy of being the source of Tao. Just a tiny trace of it makes his inner world feel as if it is blending with the Dharma Realm.

When he breaks through, he will use the source of the Dao to clear the way and will be able to ignore some of the obstructions of the great Dao of heaven and earth.

At the same time, Ji Jingqiu was amazed.

If the two heavenly kings who are in the third and fourth calamities really start fighting, he alone will not dare to say that he can be sure of success.

At this level, when you don't know what cards your opponent has hidden, no one can predict the final outcome unless you crush him with your overwhelming power.

But now, these two people died in unclear circumstances.

The fate of this fellow Daoist Kuhe is really very interesting.

"We need to speed up the process of clearing the way."

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself.

The kings of all realms have entered the universe together, and he must improve himself as soon as possible.

"Should we at least consult with one of the five pillars?"

Ji Jingqiu frowned as he recalled the words from Master Shouzhen. He didn't have many choices, and the only one he could choose was the Saint King.

At this time.

A long and narrow crack suddenly appeared in the sky above the sacred tree in the Forest of Stars. It was hundreds of thousands of miles long, like a trace of a path between heaven and earth.

"Heavenly Road?!"

Ji Jingqiu and Ku He looked at it together.

"No... this is the aura of Daluotian!"

Ku He corrected seriously. While he was busy taking out a special container to collect the source of Tao, he was also vigilantly paying attention to the movements over there.

"Fellow Daoist Wanfa, it's time for you and I to go! This is the feud between Immortal Mountain and the Cangqing lineage. There is no reason for you and me to sacrifice our lives for it!"

Ku He whispered, "To be honest, some people from the various True Saint Dojos have united to attack the five pillars in advance, such as blocking the other two from returning."

"Why two? Aren't there only two who have returned, and three left?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

"Lord Taiyou has been blocked. Besides, this incident gave inspiration to those big shots. It turns out that the return of several gods can be interrupted!" Kuhe said telepathically.

Ji Jingqiu was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Ji Shuai took action against Tai You, and no one knew what plan was behind it.

He locked onto Mu Rouzhi's mind and asked her about the current situation of the Cangqing lineage through telepathy.

On the treetops, the sacred tree was shaking violently. The Forest of Stars had just escaped from the wolf's mouth and fell into the tiger's den. The battle in Daluotian affected their side.

Hearing the familiar yet strange voice in her heart, the girl froze for a moment, as if she were dreaming, and finally said in surprise:

"Jing Qiu?! It was you who helped us just now?!"

"I teamed up with a friend."

Ji Jingqiu said simply, and continued to ask,

"Why didn't you stay in Daluotian with Qin Qingjue and the others? Is the Cangqing lineage prepared this time?"

"I...I..." The girl stuttered for a while, "I don't know. Master just told us to practice well. It's not our turn to interfere in other matters."

Ji Jingqiu: "...very good. I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, but we are still like old friends."

Hearing “old friends are still the same”, Mu Rouzhi blushed, secretly annoyed at herself why she suddenly couldn't even speak fluently, when she could obviously handle even the complicated affairs of the Forest of Stars in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, a divine light that could tear the starry sky apart fell from the crack above the sacred tree. The area it covered was so large that the entire sacred tree was in it, including Ji Jingqiu and the other person who were far away from each other!
Under the divine light, the passage of time and years is involved, and all things are in silence.

Even though the rules of the universe were suppressing it, most of the power of this divine light was reduced. When it fell, it still had a power that at least slightly exceeded that of a peak Heavenly King!
Ku He's hair stood on end, and he shouted, "Daoyou, you've been caught in the crossfire. You can't escape. Attack with all your strength!"

Ji Jingqiu's pupils suddenly shrank as he saw a vague line of cause and effect entangled around him.

The "thickness" of this cause and effect is at least at the True Saint level!
This is not just a disaster for innocent people, but is aimed at them!

……

【Daluotian】

The reason why Daluotian, built by the five major pillars, is so high and mighty is because its foundation is laid on the sea of ​​Tao deep in the Dharma Realm.

This is a shortcut place created by nature. Even if a Heavenly King practices here, he can benefit greatly and can ignore the disasters calamities of the Heavenly King. He does not need to nourish and protect himself with the power of the world.

Therefore, once Daluo Heaven was opened, the kings of all realms began to compete for the places to be issued by the five major divine systems.

Today, most of the people in Daluotian are powerful people from various families and the "natives" of the five pillars. The core kingdoms of the five pillars are the foundation of Daluotian.

At this moment.

The boundless sea of ​​clouds was surging, and a hole was torn in the sky, with chaotic energy surging inside.

Boom!

A huge storm arose above the sky, spreading from there and causing a shocking cosmic tide between heaven and earth.

Between heaven and earth, many powerful creatures looked up and saw a dazzling light erupting in the depths of the Dharma Realm, illuminating the Dharma Realm and revealing the true forms of all Daos.

Seeing this scene, some people frowned; some showed shock and anger, as if they couldn't believe what they were seeing; and some people showed no emotion, as if they had expected it.

"Do you want to start a war at this time?"

A grand, majestic, deep voice echoed through the void, scolding the front.

Between heaven and earth, a head of a god appeared, filling the void. As its eyes opened and closed, thunder appeared and disappeared, and it stared ahead in anger.

There was a Heavenly King who was comprehending the mysteries of the Great Dao in Daluo Heaven. He followed the sight of this god and finally saw a figure standing on the Great Dao!

Behind it, a divine court evolved, with endless regular Taoist patterns imprinted on it, densely packed, representing the supreme great truth. At this moment, it stretched across the sea of ​​Tao, raising huge waves and emitting brilliant light, like a divine sun rising above the sea, sacred and breathtaking.

"The way is ever-changing, people are up and down, time is as ruthless as the sword of heaven, your era has come to an end."

That being responded indifferently and forcefully, and the aura he exuded had a heavy oppression that suppressed all the realms.

A strong man recognized this person and whispered:
"The Nine Mountain True Saint of Immortal Mountain? Has he finally returned after surviving the calamity?"

"No wonder, this person was sent into reincarnation by Lord Cang Qing back then. Now he is taking advantage of the time when Lord Cang Qing has not returned to settle the score..."

"I didn't expect that the first to start the war would be the Cangqing lineage. I thought it would be that Saint King."

Between heaven and earth, the majestic voice from before sounded again:
"Jiushan! I was able to suppress you then, and I still can today!"

"You talk too much nonsense. The real strength will be revealed in a fight. We will know who is stronger and who is weaker."

Jiushan Zhensheng, who was the first to start the war, is very powerful and is one of the leaders this time.

He stretched out his hand and pressed towards the divine kingdom of the Cangqing lineage. The divine court behind him glowed, and endless regular Taoist patterns shone brightly, like the materialization of Tao.

With a loud bang, the Dao Sea seemed to have burst its dam, and endless Dao patterns surged down like waves crashing on the shore, terrifying and horrifying.

He stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the area under his palm was covered by the terrifying light of the Tao. Everything inside was withering and turning invisible.

Normally, this strike is enough to destroy a world and create a new one.

In other words, Daluotian is strong enough to withstand the attack of a True Saint.

The head of the god that filled the void was shattered in an instant!
This is just a few wisps of divine energy condensed in form of a divine image.

"If you want to fight, then fight!"

In the area belonging to the Cangqing lineage, a recently returned innate god and demon appeared, standing tall in the universe, overlooking the eternity.

As soon as the two men fought, the entire vast world shook, and the mysterious laws and principles of the Tao were wailing.

boom!
Another terrifying aura swept by, and a ray of divine light tore through the heaven and earth. It was the gaze of a true saint. His Taoism transformed into an indomitable Dharma image that stood tall and upright, and he powerfully stepped into Daluo Heaven.

"If you want to fight, then fight. The Cangqing clan will not tolerate bullying, nor will they back down."

In the Cangqing star field, another indifferent voice sounded, and an ancient breath filled the heaven and earth, causing the big stars in the sky to shake.

A five-colored divine light propped up the heaven and earth. Someone sighed and said, "Why are you all doing this? The universe has just revived and there is a lot of work to be done. The situation is not yet clear, are you going to start fighting among yourselves?"

"Kong Laoyi! Don't be a peacemaker here. Either join the battle or just watch from the sidelines like you did 20 years ago!"

The True Saint of Nine Mountains shouted, and he stood there, with chaotic energy lingering between his hair. His body was tall and majestic. He raised his hand and struck, lighting up the sky.

What shocked all parties was that he actually used his own great way to suppress the ancient god of the Cangqing lineage who was of the same true saint level in a short period of time.

Such combat power made the powerful people who were watching the battle in the void look solemn.

This man dared to challenge the five pillars back then. He has been silent for who knows how many years. Now he is back, and his strength is obviously even higher!

"It's going to be chaos..." someone murmured.

In troubled times, the past order will be overturned, and only the strongest will have the right to speak.

"You have really become something powerful!" The ancient god of Cang Qing's lineage roared, "In the past, Cang Qing pitied your talent and spared you, but I never thought that this would lead to the disastrous consequences today!"

"Pity my talent? Ridiculous." The Nine Mountain Saint said with cold eyes, "If it weren't for Cang Qing suppressing me, I would have already touched the limit of transcendence!"

Without anyone else intervening, he broke through the opponent's kingdom of God and forcefully suppressed the ancient god, almost killing him.

period.

He suddenly felt something in his heart and sensed a change in his fate.

"Someone dares to kill one of my disciples?"

He looked back, his gaze tore through the void and turned into a ray of divine light, spanning across to kill the lawbreakers.

But that's it.

Jiushan Zhensheng seemed to be aware of something and looked back suddenly. The divine court behind him suddenly burst into brilliant light, freezing the heaven and earth. Everything froze temporarily, including time!
An illusory long river appeared between heaven and earth at some point, blocking most of the light.

At the end of the long river, there stood a phantom, very blurry and shrouded in hazy green light.

In the vast ocean of the evolution of Jiushan Taoism, that figure was like a reef under the waves, standing still.

There is a kind of courage that allows me to stand at the forefront even though all heroes are washed away by the waves.

He did not retreat but advanced, as if he was coming along the long river of time, step by step, and his figure and the essence of his existence almost evolved from illusion to reality.

This scene was simply unbelievable and shocked countless powerful people.

"Cang Qing?!"

Is this the return of the Five Pillars?!
What kind of situation did they get into back then? !

With a long roar, True Saint Jiushan attacked again.

At this moment, on the other side, another strong man joined the battlefield. He opened his mouth and spit out a divine light, which turned into a vast galaxy, refined from the real world, and submerged the virtual shadow.

At the same time, a huge hand stretched out from the depths of the starry sky. The lines on its palm looked like Taoist patterns. It covered the sky with one hand and grabbed the figure in the Taoist sea that was moving from illusion to reality.

This palm locks time and destiny, blocks infinite variables, and makes the endless future return to one!

At that moment, several True Saints joined forces to block the return of Lord Cangqing!
What surprised the powerful people around the world the most was that among the five pillars, the Void Emperor and the Saint King, who had already returned, had no intention of taking action until now.

The collision at the true saint level, the aftermath alone crushed many stars in the deep space, and the dazzling light extended all the way to the depths of the universe like lightning.

The world roared——

A world tree that reaches from heaven to earth appears behind the figure. It is so tall that its roots are deeply rooted in the Dharma Realm and rise into the universe. Not to mention the trunk, each leaf alone seems to be able to carry a plane world and hold up a star.

It has frozen the long river of time with its own body and blocked the intrusion of fate.

At this moment, in the kingdom of God where Cang Qing belonged, countless creatures knelt down, worshiped the direction where the figure was, and chanted the name of God.

"I'm not too quiet."

"You are not Taichi either."

The plain yet grand voice seemed to come from the end of the world, and also seemed to sound from the past.

That figure crossed the long river of time, moving from virtuality to reality, unstoppable, and took back the fruits of the Tao in the past.

No one expected that the God Lord of the Cangqing lineage would choose to return on this day!
According to the original deduction, he should have been brought back by a strong man from the Cangqing lineage in a few months.

"Cang Qing!"

The gaze of the True Saint of Nine Mountains penetrated the fog, and was extremely fierce. Even when he witnessed the return of Lord Cangqing, he still showed no fear, but his fighting spirit became even stronger.

"Come and fight!"

This True Saint who had just appeared in the world was extremely powerful and took the initiative to challenge the newly returned Lord Cangqing to a fight.

"A battle in Daohai."

Lord Cang Qing responded indifferently. Although he had just returned and his condition was not at its peak, he was equally strong and fearless. He took a step into the starry sky.

Jiushan True Saint followed in one step, and the two True Saints who had also taken action before also followed.

Several ancient gods of the Cang Qing lineage were about to catch up, but suddenly stopped and received the message from Lord Cang Qing.

Seeing the Lord God leave without even taking the World Tree with him, several ancient gods couldn't help but look worried.

Jiushan has already become a powerful force, and ordinary True Saints are no match for them. The Lord God has just returned, and his condition is not yet at its peak, so this battle is unpredictable.

"The Lord God has returned and ordered all the powerful to rush to the aid of all subordinate civilizations."

An ancient god quickly gave orders.

In order to welcome the Lord God back early this time, all the strong men above the level of Heavenly King of the Cangqing lineage paid a considerable price, but fortunately they arrived at the last moment.

But the war is not over yet, it is just beginning.

The Cang Qing clan, which was targeted first, cannot show any signs of weakness at the moment, otherwise more "hyenas" will join the battlefield.

They must be strong enough to fight back against the attacker.

One of the ancient gods suddenly set his eyes on the "lower world" and noticed a little guy who had already been marked by them.

"It was the kid from the Yanhuang Federation. His move just now was sensed by Jiushan, and he killed the enemy with a single glance across the realm. Although most of it was blocked by the Lord of Gods and suppressed by the great universe, its power was still not less than that of the peak Heavenly King. He was actually blocked by him..."

"Take him to the Kingdom of God. The Lord God will want to see him."

"There have been recent rumors that this boy has ambitions to conquer the world, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"Is he the disciple of Mu Shitian? Then we can take him to Daluo Heaven and help him break through to Heavenly King realm as soon as possible. There will be a time when we need him to fight in the future."

The three ancient gods whispered to each other and soon reached an agreement. Someone personally took action to lead Ji Jingqiu to the lower world.

Ji Jingqiu had just burst out with all his strength and barely took on the incomplete divine light. At this moment, he coughed up blood and sat down. He glanced at Ku He who had attacked at the same time but was almost unscathed. He suspected that he had been "counterfeited"!

"My fellow Daoist, you really showed great skills just now!" Ku He was amazed by the flash of the sword just now, and felt a little unsatisfied.

After noticing that Ji Jingqiu was injured, he quickly took out the Dao Yun he had just collected, handed it to Ji Jingqiu, and said proudly,
"Daoyou, come and take a bite or two to recover from your injuries!"

This is the "witness" who witnessed with his own eyes the source of Tao flowing above his head, so nothing can happen to him!
