Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 378: Cang Qing's Old Friend, the First Dao Ancestor
Ji Jingqiu was not polite either. This time he suffered a Taoist injury, which would turn into a hidden injury if not handled properly, just like what happened to Gu Shouzhong before.

He took two sips and felt the light of Tao nourishing his whole body inside and out. He felt much more comfortable and his injuries were healing.

“It’s really good stuff!”

He looked at the Daoyuan in Kuhe's hand and praised.

"necessary."

After confirming Ji Jingqiu's injuries, Ku He felt that it had nothing to do with him, and it was actually because Fellow Daoist Wanfa was too active this time.

He coughed dryly and said,
"This is the source of the Great Dao after all! For ordinary celestial beings, just that one bite is enough to refine their Dao form and find an opportunity to open up the Great Dao of Illusion."

"Fellow Daoist, you and I will go together to search for the source of Dao, and we will split it 50-50."

Ku He was well prepared. He took out another container, divided the remaining Dao Source into two and gave one to Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This person is so straightforward?

next moment.

Ji Jingqiu's expression changed slightly. He took the container containing the Dao Source and said hurriedly, "Daoyou Kuhe, I have something to do. I'm afraid I have to leave first."

Kuhe was stunned. Are they leaving right after dividing the Daoyuan?

For a moment, he felt reluctant.

He always felt that his sudden "good fortune" might be related to this person. After the two of them traveled together, their destinies became entangled with each other and some wonderful changes took place.

At this time.

Suddenly, someone led me into the crack on the sacred tree.

Watching Ji Jingqiu being led to the Daluo Heaven behind the rift, Kuhe's expression changed slightly. Could this fellow Taoist be an ancient god from the same lineage as Cangqing? !
"Fellow Daoist, see you in Daluo Heaven in the future!" Kuhe shouted hurriedly.

Ji Jingqiu only had time to say hello to Mu Rouzhi before he ascended to Daluo Heaven, the place many heavenly kings dreamed of.

Wait until he opens his eyes.

What lies before your eyes is a pure land courtyard rooted in the void.

A young seedling has taken root in the center of the courtyard. Its growth rate is negligible compared to more than 20 years ago.

The Bodhi tree in our own home, which was similar to the previous one, has now grown into a large size, with an air of connecting the sky and the earth.

After seeing Ji Jingqiu coming, the sapling seemed to have its own consciousness, and its only leaf swayed slightly.

In front of the sapling, there was another familiar person standing.

The woman was wearing a black dress, her long black hair was like a waterfall, and she had a graceful manner. She had a mysterious and ancient aura. She had not changed much from the past. Time had not taken away her beauty, but instead added a unique charm.

It was exactly the woman that Ji Jingqiu had met in the Posa half plane in the past.

at this time.

The pair of misty eyes looked at Ji Jingqiu.

Cangyou looked at him with a half-smile, and said in amazement:

"You Yanhuang Federation are really an anomaly. Your promotion speed is even more outrageous than Mu Shitian and his group back then."

"It's only been a few years, and you're already standing at the threshold of the Heavenly King, ready to step in at any time?"

"Speaking of which, what are you waiting for? Why don't you break through to become a Heavenly King? The universe ahead is not something that a Heavenly Man can rule."

"Why, you are not really as rumored, with the ambition to conquer the world and are waiting for the right opportunity?"

"Senior, long time no see. Are Brother Ke and Sister Qin doing well now?"

Ji Jingqiu bowed politely and said,

"Also, what should I call you, Senior?"

"They are practicing hard in Daluo Heaven, trying to see your back." Cang You said calmly, "My name is Cang You. According to seniority, you should call me uncle. In the past, Mu Shitian once studied under my Cang Qing lineage, and I was his guide."

"Aunt Cang."

Ji Jingqiu changed his address himself and then looked up.

He noticed at the first moment that the originally deep and dark depths of the void were now illuminated by the dazzling light of Taoism, and there were strong men fighting there.

"That is……"

"That was a fight between saints."

Cangyu didn't bother with his address and was also paying attention to the war.

"Master has returned and is fighting with the Nine Mountain True Saints of Immortal Mountain."

At this point, Cangyou glanced at him.
"The glare you barely accepted earlier came from Jiushan. Did you attack the disciples of Immortal Mountain? Jiushan's innate magical power is particularly sensitive to changes in destiny."

"Just a glance?" Ji Jingqiu said seriously, "Is the gap between me and a True Saint so big?"

For the past twenty years, what he has been thinking about is the possibility of fighting against the Heavenly Lord after being promoted to Heavenly King.

Although the True Saint seems to be two levels higher than the Heavenly Venerate, but from Heavenly Venerate to the True Saint, the three levels actually all belong to the Eight Realms. There is no limit between the realms, only the accumulation of endless time and years.

“Even if it is a pig that has lived from the beginning of the world to the present day and has survived countless disasters and accumulated Dao power, it can easily crush a Heavenly King to death.”

Cangyou glanced at him.
"Not to mention that Jiushan is not a pig. He is a divine beast born and raised by nature. His true form is the world's first imperial phoenix. Together with the Emperor Luan of the Phoenix Blood Palace, he is called the 'Phoenix'. His status and strength are not inferior to Kong Laoyi of the Five Virtues Palace. The three of them are called the ancestors of all flying birds in this world."

"In the past, Jiushan competed with my master for the control of the World Tree and was suppressed by my master. Now, after surviving the calamity and returning, his Taoism has improved a lot. Ordinary True Saints are no match for him. He has already entered the first level of the world."

"This person was extremely protective of his people back then. You touched his disciples, which is great. You are worthy of being a disciple of our Cangqing lineage."

Cangyou nodded, with a hint of teasing in his smile.

"A disciple from outside the family?" Ji Jingqiu looked calm.

Judging from Master Mu's temperament, it is more likely that the Cangqing lineage will protect his lineage as the Buddha's.

"Senior Cang Qing has returned?" Ji Jingqiu noticed the key point and paused, "After this battle, I want to meet with you."

"Something?" Cangyou said casually, "It's the same if you tell me. I can't say when the battle at this level will end."

"Senior Cang Qing, aren't you sure of winning?" Ji Jingqiu asked tentatively.

Cangyou shook his head and said:
"Master has just returned, and his strength has not yet recovered to its peak. He didn't even bring the World Tree with him. He is obviously on guard against certain people. This battle is likely to be a protracted one."

"Wait, then."

"See if there are any other True Saints entering."

Ji Jingqiu noticed that Aunt Cang's expression was obviously a little gloomy at the moment, as if she was worried and afraid of something.

Obviously, there are people behind the scenes who have not yet joined this battle.

"Neither the Void lineage nor the Saint King lineage took action?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

As five pillars, regardless of their own plots, at least in front of the True Saints of future generations, they should stand on the same front.

Cangyou explained simply: "Among the Saints, only the Nine Mountains faction took action."

"By the way, do you know that the Holy King lineage is looking for you?"

Cangyou suddenly smiled brightly, reached out to smooth her hair, and asked in a gentle voice.

Ji Jingqiu nodded: "If possible, I would like to meet Senior Cang Qing."

He paused and did not say that the person he wanted to see most was actually the Lord of the Underworld of the Underworld Ruins lineage.

His guardian deity is still in the netherworld, and the Lord of the Underworld said in person that they are of the same lineage in the underworld.

Theoretically, this person is the most likely person to protect him.

It’s a pity that he hasn’t returned yet.

In comparison, the Cangqing lineage is a spare tire, and the Shengwang lineage is a helpless choice.

"Good boy, you are really good at talking." Cangyou said with a smile, "But this time is different. I don't know what your problem is, but if you go to the Holy King lineage, they will satisfy you."

Ji Jingqiu heard the teasing in this person's words and said curiously:

"What does it mean?"

It is naturally impossible for the Holy King lineage to protect him for no reason.

Apart from anything else, if he goes to the Holy King lineage, he will inevitably have a battle with Chi Ji.

It is said that this guy can become a superstar at any time.

"The Holy King is different from my master. He is also an old father. In order to find a way to transcend, he cut off his own cultivation and traveled the mortal world. He realized the way of the acquired nature, and when he finally returned, he brought back a baby girl from the Divine Court, that is, Chiji."

Cang You smiled and said, "Now, the Saint King's daughter has grown up. From what she said, it seems that she wants to find a husband of her dreams. If you are interested, I can ask Master to propose marriage for you on behalf of Mu Shitian."

Ji Jingqiu: “…”

Inner world.

Hila chuckled and said, “I have a daughter named Chiji, a quiet and beautiful girl… Ji Jingqiu, it’s okay if you forgot, as long as the other one didn’t forget.”

Ji Jingqiu rubbed his brows and said, "Aunt Cang, don't joke around. Chi Ji doesn't have this blessing."

Cang You was suddenly speechless: "You kid..."

Originally, she wanted to tease the little guy.

As a result, this guy's words made her a little confused.

If it were someone else, even if they refused, they would say that they were not blessed enough. But this guy was different and he directly said that Chiji was not blessed enough.

"You'd better not spread this, otherwise Chi Ji will definitely regard you as an enemy." Ji Jingqiu said indifferently: "Anyone who I catch up with in realm level is no longer my enemy."

"Very good." Cangyou nodded, "Your confidence is similar to that of your other master, so when are you going to break through to the Heavenly King realm?"

"Soon." Ji Jingqiu said in a deep voice, "Before that, I need to meet with Senior Cang Qing."

Cangyou frowned and asked, "What exactly are you going to do?"

"I want to spread my Dao across the world, and I need the Cangqing lineage to protect me."

Cangyou was silent for a while, then said, "You are not kidding?"

"I found a step between fetal breathing and meditation, which is enough to support the illusory avenue of the Heavenly King. There is no need to merge with the avenue to nourish the body, and there is no need to worry about the avenue targeting me in the dark."

Ji Jingqiu said frankly.

"Are you opening up a path on the spiritual level?" Cangyu asked in surprise.

She originally thought that Ji Jingqiu had at most made some kind of "repair" to the path to becoming the King of Heaven, such as opening up a shortcut in this realm.

It's like a ceiling. This guy hasn't been promoted to the King yet, so he can never reach the King's ceiling.

But she didn't expect that Ji Jingqiu actually had a new "explanation" of spiritual practice.

Should we say that he is worthy of being the contemporary Buddha?

In the past, Mu Shitian also had an amazing understanding of spiritual practice. In less than a hundred years, his mind had crossed to the other side, which even amazed his own master.

After calming himself down, Cangyu did not rush to ask what path Ji Jingqiu had opened up.

“Are you sure?” she asked.

"Whether I succeed or not is my business, but I need someone to help me eliminate external interference." Ji Jingqiu said slowly, "I have already received promises from several other True Saints, but a senior told me that I need to communicate with the five pillars."

Cangyou said softly:
"The right choice."

"My Cangqing clan once ruled one-fifth of this world, from the great universe to the three thousand Jambuvipas all belonged to our territory."

"At the peak, there were five ancient gods of the True Saint level in the pantheon. Do you know why only my master is called the Venerable?"

"Because it's the oldest?"

"That's understandable."

Cangyou nodded and said,
"The five pillars are born naturally, and each one represents an origin of this world. In a sense, they are the earliest 'Tao ancestors' of this world."

"When Wan Ling opened up the post-natal cultivation system, the five pillars were the first to agree. Without their permission, Wan Ling would not even be qualified to practice."

"Because of this incident, a group of True Saints headed by Jiushan were very dissatisfied with Master and his group. They believed that it was their indulgence that led to the acquired beings having the power to overturn the table with them."

"Later, Master and his companions failed to break through the realm, and the will of the great universe came into being. They redefined the authority of the great universe, but Master and his companions still retained some of their 'authority'."

"This war between the Saints and the Five Pillars, in addition to fighting for the right to speak, also involves the most fundamental struggle for authority."

Cangyou suddenly looked outside and said, "Come on, I'll take you to see the meeting between the saints. If you really want to open the way, you can't avoid these 'gluttons' on the road."

Gourmet?

Cangyou led Ji Jingqiu out of the Pure Land

Ji Jingqiu noticed that behind them stood three majestic and huge statues of ancient gods.

In the vast world ahead, one can see figures standing at the top of the avenue. Their true appearance cannot be seen, but they are as majestic as mountains, suffocating people.

Similarly, when they saw Cang You, the leader of the Cangqing lineage, appear, many people cast their eyes on her, but finally all fell on Ji Jingqiu who was beside her.

"The little guy from the Yanhuang Federation?"

"So he has come to Daluotian. No wonder we can't find his trace."

One after another cold glances fell.

Even if they did not deliberately show hostility, so many powerful people still brought tremendous oppression.

If it were any other celestial being, he would have probably fallen to the ground at this moment.

Suddenly.

A roar of roc shook the sky!
Before Ji Jingqiu realized anything, a golden-winged sky roc flew across the void, its body shrank infinitely, and landed on top of his head, its cold eyes sweeping across the heroes in front of it.

"Senior!" Ji Jingqiu shouted.

This is Gu Jinpeng, who was subdued by Mu Shitian in the past and then chose to follow him on his own initiative.

It is not the ancestor of the Golden Peng lineage in this world. It followed Mu Shitian to suppress the Sea of ​​Bitterness and listen to the great Dao. The benefits it gained were so great that its Taoism progressed by leaps and bounds. In just ten thousand years, it had the combat power to rival a True Saint in the Dao Ancestor realm.

Twenty years ago, Mu Shitian let it go. When it returned to the tribe, the first thing it did was to challenge the ancestor.

Although he did not win, he did not lose either, and was recognized by the ancestor, thus gaining the qualifications to set up his own business.

Now, seeing Ji Jingqiu coming to Daluo Tianhou, he took the initiative to show up to support him.

A golden feather fell, reflecting golden light all over the sky.

Just during the process of falling, the feather cut through the void, it was extremely heavy.

Ji Jingqiu caught the feather.

This is the self-defense item left to him by Senior Jin Peng. It can cut through the void and restrictions. Even if Daozu imprisons the void, it can forcibly open a passage.

Even with this person on the platform, there were still many indifferent looks from the people around.

It's not that they have any problem with Ji Jingqiu, it's just that the Yanhuang Federation is too conspicuous. In addition, twenty years ago, He Donghuang and Mu Shitian teamed up to deceive a group of True Saints, which made many True Saints have some fear and hostility towards it.

Considering the huge benefits of the four demons, as well as some rumors about the long river of time...

If possible, these people would never mind dividing the Yanhuang Federation together.

At this time.

In the void, the Sage Shouzhen suddenly walked out and warned all parties: "In a competition of the same level, if this guy dies, then so be it. But if someone is shameless and bullies the weak, and finally provokes He Donghuang to overturn the table, then don't blame us for being merciless."

Suddenly, many people frowned. Wasn't it certain that He Donghuang could no longer take action? Why was this saint from Tiansheng Lake speaking for the Yanhuang Federation?

Some strong men seemed to be thinking about something. They heard that this person and several others had teamed up to go to the source of the River of Time. What did they see?
"good."

A middle-aged man also came out. He had a handsome face, a tall and majestic figure, and was surrounded by five-colored divine light. He looked amazing.

There was a young man following beside him, who was the Shenjin of Wude Palace, and had always won against Ji Jingqiu.

"You are all too angry. Do you want to completely overturn all legal order? It's not time yet! I don't mind helping you cool down!"

The True Saint Kong Xuan from the Wude Palace shouted.

As soon as this person appeared on the scene, many people looked at him strangely.

This old peacock is too particular. He suffered a Taoist injury when he tried to break through and transcend in the past. On weekdays, he can only maintain his old appearance, and even his feathers are almost lost. But when he appears at the critical moment, he is forced to recover to his prime.

Just now.

The World Tree shone brightly, with countless branches rising into the blue sky and piercing into the Dharma Realm and the Sea of ​​Dao. It condensed the aura of the Great Dao, and chaotic energy fell from the sky like a waterfall, but it still did not join the battlefield.

Ji Jingqiu could see that this world tree extracted many sources of Tao from the depths of the Dharma Realm, but he didn't know what it was used for.

Any single drop of it exceeds the sum of all the good fortunes of Kuhe!

until now.

The battle between Lord Cang Qing and Saint Jiu Shan has not yet ended.

"Cang Qing has already held back." Someone suddenly said.

The implication is, of course, that person didn't even use the World Tree.

"But Jiushan has no intention of holding back."

The strong man from the Holy King lineage sneered and swept his eyes over the strong men from all realms. The vigilance and hostility in his eyes were obvious.

Neither the Holy King nor the Void Emperor showed up, but the ancient gods from their respective factions did show up.

Although they did not lend a helping hand, in terms of attitude, they still stood on the side of the Cang Qing lineage.

Witnessing this scene, Cangyou had an idea in mind.

The hostility between the families is quite obvious.

Even though Shouzhen and others tried to ease the situation, they only delayed the outbreak of the war.

Her heart felt heavy.

I'm afraid Jiushan's goal has been achieved this time.

He has demonstrated strength that rivals the Five Pillars, enough to win over a group of ancient gods who are already dissatisfied with the Five Pillars and become the leader of the new faction.

"Jiushan has never used his full strength."

Emperor Luan of the Phoenix Blood Palace said in a cold voice, revealing some truths.
"When he was reincarnated, he had a fortuitous encounter in the long river of fate. Now his Taoist body has also entered the level of a True Saint. He is two True Saints in one body."

Hearing these words, everyone's expressions suddenly became solemn.

Many people looked at Jiushan’s allies, and indeed saw one of them whose Qi had a vague connection with Jiushan.

"Two True Saints in one body, Fellow Daoist Jiushan is indeed extraordinary. He has created an unprecedented feat. No wonder he dares to challenge the five pillars." Shouzhen said slowly.

Hearing this, many people nodded.

Among all the saints, I have never heard of anyone who can raise his own Taoist body to the level of a true saint. If Jiushan can really create such a feat and combine his two bodies into one, I am afraid that the five pillars will be unable to do anything to him!
Chang Sheng, who was standing next to his master, suddenly noticed that his master glanced at the Sage Shouzhen several times in succession and muttered faintly:
"The old man is so shameless..."
