Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 380 Dao Traces in the Wilderness
Cangyou quickly swallowed the instructions that were about to come out of his throat, his face slightly changed, and he looked at the "freak" in front of him as if he were a monster.

This guy actually entered a mysterious realm of enlightenment just by taking a few glances.

Although this place is one of the top wonders, this is too fast.

This scene reminded her of the past when someone really dared to rely on the inheritance of the Buddha's lineage to observe the birth and death of a world.

I wonder what Ji Jingqiu will gain if he goes to observe the Dao again today.

Cangyou made some guesses in his mind, and without staying for too long, he left quietly, leaving this world to Ji Jingqiu.

She also has to go and pay a visit to her master, and the Cangqing lineage also has many matters to deal with.

Unconscious.

Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged, his heart as calm as the moon reflected in still water. Looking up, the lights as far as the eye could see were like stars.

I don’t know how long it had been, but Ji Jingqiu was filled with a vast and ancient aura, and his soul had already penetrated deep into the dark sea, straight into the "spiritual wilderness" beneath the abyss.

It is called wilderness, but in fact it is an unknown area.

This was not Ji Jingqiu's first visit here.

When he came here in the past, the fog was thick and the visibility was extremely low. Even for him, his vision could hardly exceed a few meters around him, so he could not see the hidden dangers, nor could he get around them. It all depended on luck.

Here, anything can happen.

Ji Jingqiu once encountered a ray of sword energy.

Like clouds, water, and smoke, the atmosphere was hazy. Just seeing it made Ji Jingqiu's "heart moon" shaky, as if this sword energy had cut down countless moons on earth, forming some kind of invisible avenue to suppress victory.

Seeing this sword energy, even Hela and the other two changed their expressions slightly and told them not to provoke it.

This sword energy seemed to have its own spirituality. It hovered around him for a while and then left.

Afterwards, Hela told him that in the wilderness at the deepest part of the sea, one could often see some...

The "traces of the great way" left by the transcendent.

It is also these traces that allow them to confirm that there really is a great and free being in this world who is above everything.

Ji Jingqiu walked in the wilderness and felt that this time was different from the past.

He looked up, and the heavy fog could not block the brilliance of the stars.

Every star represents a lamp in the heart.

What does this mean?

Ji Jingqiu thought in his heart.

These heart lamps can be seen as the "reflection" of the soul of the person who planted them in the dark sea.

But for some reason, it emerged in the dark sea at this time, a scene that had never appeared before.

And, is he the only one who can see this scene?

He looked serene.

If the mind can be kept calm, everything will be like a clear mirror.

When Ji Jingqiu left Youhai, he heard Xiao Wuzhou's words:

"It's a pity that Cang Qing tied his own hands. No wonder he was stepped on by his former defeated subordinates as soon as he returned."

The inner scene is in the bamboo forest.

Xiao Wuzhou opened his eyes, ended his retreat, and saw where he was now through Ji Jingqiu's vision.

During these twenty years, Xiao Wuzhou's status has improved. After integrating a trace of Wuzhou's essence, Hela can no longer bully him as she did in the past. He has regained a little dignity.

"What do you mean?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

Xiao Wuzhou raised his chin slightly and pointed to the World Tree under his feet:

"This should have been Cang Qing's greatest reliance and divine weapon, but now it has become the main foundation of Daluotian. It is difficult to withdraw it easily, otherwise the entire Daluotian will be at risk of collapse."

Not only that, as far as Ji Jingqiu knew, the Cangqing lineage also set an example by building a spiritual world above the Youhai with the World Tree as its foundation, which could gather the thoughts of all living beings and delay the awakening of the Youhai.

As far as Wu Zhou is concerned, Lord Cangqing's behavior is tantamount to giving up one of his own arms.

Ji Jingqiu nodded and said to himself: "If the Nine Mountain True Saint is going to have a bloody battle with Cang Qing's lineage next, I will lend a helping hand to Cang Qing."

Xiao Wuzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? This guy tied his hands himself, he deserves to be bullied. You're still rushing to get on a pirate ship that's about to collapse?"

"idiot!"

In the lotus pond, Hela mocked unceremoniously,

"Who do you think this guy is?"

"Mu Shitian is still struggling in the sea of ​​suffering. Cang Qing's sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation is actually a plus for him."

Ji Jingqiu said nothing, just nodded, and kicked Xiao Wuzhou Yi to punish this guy for his lack of respect for the landlord.

What Hela meant was pretty much his attitude.

Xiao Wuzhou shook his head and said to himself:
"So, the five pillars probably gave up some 'things' to build Daluotian."

"Ji Jingqiu, find an opportunity to go to Daluotian to hang out. These five guys must be asking for something, so they would spare no expense."

Ji Jingqiu took note of this sentence, but did not respond to him.

The way to get along with Wu Zhou is to never be led by him.

"I opened up [Keeping the Void and Tranquility] and engraved the Dao in the Heart of Heaven. Will the Nether Sea also respond?" Ji Jingqiu asked the two of them, "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"

Xiao Wuzhou and Hela didn't say anything, but glanced at someone in tacit understanding.

This place has expanded countless times and is now a pure land that has truly taken shape as the world. In the center stands a towering tree, lush green with thick branches and leaves, casting a large area of ​​cool shade.

What caught Xiao Wuzhou and Hela's attention the most was that the crown of the Bodhi tree had already broken through the dome of the Pure Land and towered into the projection of the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Its roots had taken root in the dark sea twenty years ago, extending infinitely downwards, penetrating through the heavy fog. Even Ji Jingqiu was not sure where the roots of the Bodhi tree had reached.

It is still far from Mu Shitian’s peak in the past.

But this kind of atmosphere is undoubtedly better than the original.

Following their gazes.

Ji Jingqiu immediately understood what these two guys meant.

With the Bodhi tree around, he shouldn't need to worry too much about Youhai's counterattack.

In addition, he felt that the flickering heart lamps of different sizes that he had just seen would bring him unexpected gains.

"Ji Jingqiu, in fact, the Deep Sea does not have to be forever silent." Xiao Wuzhou suddenly spoke.

A sneer sounded:

"Are you going to show off your eternal path again? Forget it. Ji Jingqiu has his own path to heaven. Why should he walk on your single-plank bridge?"

Hela exposed him directly.

In this regard.

Ji Jingqiu was not surprised at all.

There have been many similar sabotage incidents in the past twenty years.

In Xiao Wuzhou's words, Hela's current behavior is a classic case of harming others and not benefiting oneself.

But Hela’s attitude is that she speaks her mind, so how can that not be beneficial to herself?
At least my mind has become much clearer.

"You mean, after everything returns to one, the mind will not be disturbed, and the sea will be..." Ji Jingqiu shook his head, "This path is really not very good."

The reason why the Dark Sea is so active, even if it is silent, it is only temporary and will eventually revive, is because all living things are immortal.

Countless thoughts fall into the ocean of the mind, especially for those strong people standing on high places. The more their thoughts drip, the bigger the ripples and waves they stir up.

Wu Zhou's method is nothing more than to make him the only one in the world. He alone will guard the spiritual platform quietly and will not stir up any ripples or waves. The Youhai will naturally not be able to "respond to all living beings" and will not cause any waves.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly looked in a certain direction.

In his perception, several "bright lights" lit up again between heaven and earth. This time, they were not in the dark sea, but someone had figured out the true meaning of "keeping emptiness and tranquility" and stepped into this level.

An invisible gift from the Great Dao emerged. For Ji Jingqiu, whose Dao power had already reached its limit, it was like water overflowing.

finally.

This gift has completely turned into the foundation of the inner world.

...the big universe.

Among the twelve people who were left behind by Ji Jingqiu to comprehend the avenue of the mind, one opened his eyes first, revealing a tranquil and far-sighted temperament.

It is as empty as the echo in a valley, inclusive and without stagnation.

As quiet as the moon reflected in still water, clear and bright, illuminating everything.

In a single thought, it seemed as if the birth of all things in the world was contained. The aura of this powerful man from the past named Tian Xing suddenly increased steadily, and in the blink of an eye he broke through the barrier between heaven and man.

Although he did not recover to his peak state, he had regained 70% to 80% of his past peak strength.

"A new life..."

Tian Xing's eyes were calm and he spoke softly to himself.

Ji Jingqiu's face quickly appeared in his mind.

For a moment, the calm state of mind began to ripple.

This person not only saved him from the sea of ​​burial, but now has the grace to preach the gospel;

The karma owed is too great.

Tian woke up and tried to leave quietly without disturbing anyone else.

He soon discovered that the restrictions left by Ji Jingqiu did not stop them from leaving, but were a form of protection.

He sighed again, feeling that he owed too many favors this time.

He first confirmed his own location, then tore through the void, followed the coordinates in his memory, and embarked on the journey to find his own sect.

He was born into a True Saint Taoist temple, but the temple had lost a Taoist dispute in the past and was destroyed by several hostile forces. Even the True Saint Patriarch died in the disaster.

As for the kings like him, they were either forcibly sent into the Burial Sea or died and reincarnated.

Now I don't know how many years have passed, whether the master has returned...

Scenes from the past came to his mind, and Tian Xing felt as if his heart was in turmoil.

He finally returned to the world where the dojo was located in the past.

The holy land that once stood among numerous peaks and large palaces now has not even ruins left. Only large patches of weeds and vines remain on the ground, which is the manifestation of the most primitive life force between heaven and earth.

Times change, years pass, everything is different, everything has changed.

Tian Xing felt melancholy. How many civilizations had flourished and perished under this starry sky? How many powerful men had it witnessed the rise and fall of?
No matter how glorious the past was, one failure was enough to ruin everything, and their lineage was the loser of that year.

"Who?! If you come here without telling me, you are a thief! This is the Taoist temple of Tianshen Mountain. I advise you not to make mistakes!"

Deep ahead, a figure suddenly flew into the air. He was tall and majestic, with fierce eyes and terrifying aura. He was not considered a weakling among the kings.

Hearing the name in his memory, Tian Xing's body trembled, his eyes instantly locked on the figure in front of him, and a name blurted out:

"Xiaohua?! Are you Hua Qianlou from Zuofeng?"

Upon hearing the nickname of the dark history, the man in charge of guarding the mountain gate suddenly looked dark, with a kind of imposing manner as if a storm was about to come.

But soon, his expression changed, and his overwhelming momentum suddenly disappeared, and he said in a lost voice:
"You are Grandmaster Tian Xing?! Are you still alive?!"

After a while of meeting old friends, Tian Xing learned about his experiences over the years from his younger generations.

With the help of the disciples who survived the battle that year, the founder successfully returned from the catastrophe more than 100,000 years ago, found the surviving disciples, and rebuilt the mountain gate.

"As time goes by, only the true saints can be called immortal. As long as they don't die, everything can start over again!"

Hua Qianlou said excitedly,

"Uncle Master Tianxing, our ancestor has gone to Daluo Heaven to attend the meeting of all saints. He will be very happy to see you when he returns!"

"Where have you been all these years? Why did you come back only now? For some of you, including me, even the Grandmaster could not predict your fate, past and present lives."

Tian Xing felt like he was in a dream. The founder had actually returned and rebuilt the mountain gate!

"I……"

Tian Xing was suddenly speechless and swallowed back the words that he was about to say subconsciously.

"I fell into the Burial Sea back then. Some time ago, due to fate, I escaped from the Burial Sea and returned to the human world."

Tian Xing concealed Ji Jingqiu's whereabouts. He felt that this man probably didn't want the news of his preaching to spread.

As a disciple of the True Saint and a top Heavenly King who once had the hope of ascending to the Heavenly Lord, he knew very well the meaning of "opening the way for the world."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the master didn't predict this." Hua Qianlou sighed.

"Who from the sect has returned now?" Tian Xing asked.

"Uncle Master, don't worry. Let's find a place to sit down first. I will slowly tell you about the changes over the years..."

When Tian Xing heard that many of his former fellow disciples had reincarnated, he could not help but let out a long roar, shattering the sea of ​​clouds above the sky and clearing away the last bit of depression in his heart.

But soon, Hua Qianlou poured a basin of cold water on him and said solemnly:
"Uncle Master, you should prioritize restoring your past cultivation. According to the news sent back by our ancestor yesterday, the world is going to be in chaos again, and the struggle between the Daoists is about to begin. This time it will be the first bloody battle to the death!"

"It is said that before the meeting between the saints is over, the True Saints have already decided on a bloody battle to the death!"

Hearing this, Tian Xing's eyes became deep, and he instantly thought of the several forces that had joined forces to destroy their Tianshen Mountain!
"The first bloody battle?"

"That's right!" Hua Qianlou said, "It is said that the strongest ones will open up the underworld of the Mingxu lineage and use it as a battlefield for a bloody battle!"

Tian Xing suddenly thought of Ji Jingqiu, and asked Xiaohua indirectly about the young and powerful people of the time.

Being able to open up the world, he will be a leading strong man no matter which era he is in.

"A contemporary genius?" Hua Qianlou thought for a moment and said, "I haven't paid much attention to the outside world, but I heard that there is a person named Ji Jingqiu, who is known as the greatest genius in history. Of course, no matter how powerful one is, he is only a genius."

"Ji Jingqiu..."

Tianxing whispered, and seeing Xiaohua's indifferent look, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Although that person is a celestial being, ordinary celestial kings are probably no match for him.

Once he has cleared the way, it won’t take long before he is able to catch up with the top powerful kings among the heavenly kings.

……

……

At the request of the most powerful ones such as Shouzhen, the first meeting between the saints and the returning ancient gods took place.

This meeting of true saints lasted for a long time, during which time many rumors were spread.

For example, a certain True Saint and another fought fiercely during a meeting, which directly led to the first bloody battle...

Or maybe the conversations among the saints were not pleasant, and table-slamming was common, so much so that the table in front of the man in the Five Virtues Palace had been replaced more than once.

Finally, the Void Emperor couldn't stand it anymore, so he opened up a temporary universe and let those people with fierce attitudes fight in it.

"bloody battle……"

Ji Anquan has been thinking about it recently.

Isn't it time to bring back some of the old men from the Federation?

Otherwise, if someone is so blind as to launch a bloody war against their Yanhuang Federation, do they expect their allies to go to the battlefield?

I'm afraid I'll cut ties with them right away.

But according to the last conversation between the Taiyou lineage, these old men from the Federation seemed to have gone to a transcendental temple outside the realm, and keeping in touch with them is a big problem.

"It's a bit tricky..."

This day.

Xuanji Zhensheng contacted Ji Anquan across the boundless time and space:

"Be prepared. The saints have already made preliminary discussions. The first bloody battle is about to begin. Some people are targeting your Yanhuang Federation."

"You'd better get in touch with Ji Jingqiu and persuade him to suppress his realm and not enter the Heavenly King battlefield too early."

Hearing this, Ji Anquan shook his head and said, "Brother Ji will not stop for something like this. From what I know about him, he will only speed up his pace. He should not be far from attempting a breakthrough."

Xuanji Zhensheng was silent for a while, and then said: "The first bloody battle will break out in a month. You can take a look at it then. After understanding the cruelty of a real bloody battle, you may change your mind."

"Which two?" Ji Anquan asked.

"【Tiansheng Lake】and【Taiqing Palace】."
