Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 384: The Saint King's Way of Protecting the Dao

The tall and graceful figure flew out of the Cangqing Temple uncontrollably.

"Don't go crazy."

Ji Jingqiu's voice came from the hall, without any hint of sympathy for women, which made Cang You, who was not far away, shake his head.

Chi Ji steadied her body and snorted coldly, she actually underestimated this new generation of Buddha.

Just as she was about to continue attacking, she heard Ji Jingqiu's voice transmission:

"If you want to fight, wait until you and I both become Heavenly Kings, then we can arrange a fight. It won't be fun to fight now."

Hearing this, Chiji's figure in mid-air paused slightly.

She looked at this boy who was several realms lower than her back then... No, in terms of human lifespan, he was already a man.

Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged on the spot, with the bearing of a great master, and said calmly:

"Do business first."

“I hope your talent is worthy of your arrogance, and that you can understand the true meaning of [keeping the Void and Tranquility] in front of the Heavenly King of Kai Dao.”

Hearing this provocation, Chi Ji snorted coldly: "My cultivation level is close to your 'Zuowang'. Today I want to see what is so mysterious about the way you have opened."

Ji Jingqiu stretched out his hand and motioned Chi Ji to take a seat.

not far away.

Cangyu withdrew his gaze in complete disappointment, shook his head and sighed, then turned and left.

……

In the starry sky not far from Donghuang Continent.

"Fellow Daoist Tianliang, Fellow Daoist Luoshu, have you completed your mission as a disciple?"

An ethereal woman came to greet the two people who had already congratulated them.

The man in white robe has an elegant temperament and a Taoist charm flowing through his body. When he saw the woman coming, he smiled and said:

"Friend An, we are all waiting for you."

The last woman to arrive was An Xunran, who had visited the Federation and met Ji Anquan once. She claimed to be from the [Mayfly Palace].

The other two, a man and a woman, the man's Taoist name is Tianliang and the woman's name is Luoshu. They both have similar origins to An Xunran and belong to different camps.

"There are so many secrets to be discovered in this realm, not to mention the two long rivers of transcendence, the Burial Sea, the Dharma Realm, and the Sea of ​​Bitterness..."

Tianliang counted the information about the "forbidden area" that he had collected and explored during this period of time, his eyes sparkling.

He was originally handsome, and now even his eyes and eyebrows were shining. He said with emotion,

"It's like an untapped treasure mine. It's definitely worth the big bets from the forces behind you and me. The Dao Palace hasn't found such a treasure land for a long time."

The sea of ​​boundaries is vast and boundless, and boundaries are created and destroyed every moment.

But they had never heard of a realm as special as this one.

"No wonder even the four demons that have been rampant in the sea of ​​​​boundaries for countless years have gathered here and even suffered setbacks here." Tianliang was a little absent-minded, and suddenly laughed, "Is this considered a mantis stalking a cicada, while the oriole is behind?"

"The Bitter Sea and the Nether Sea converge into one place. This is not a good thing." An Xunran warned, "If you are not careful, this will no longer be a treasure land, but a place of death!"

Tianliang looked unconvinced. "Since ancient times, opportunities have always been acquired at the cost of one's life. The mortality rate of each family's 'pioneer team' is as high as over 40% every ten thousand years. Isn't it that there is a shortage of vacancies all year round, and countless strong people flock to it?"

An Xunran shook his head and said, "This place is different. Even if it's not a deadly place, the natives of this realm are not simple and their overall strength is extremely powerful."

"This is indeed a problem."

Tianliang's expression was solemn for the first time, and he said in a somewhat unbelievable way,

“I never thought that a world without a transcendent ruler and still suffering from the erosion of the Nether Sea could actually give birth to so many new saints and old gods!”

An Xunran said softly: "The most troublesome things are still the five pillars of this world and those ancient ones."

Luo Shu, the woman who had been standing aside and had not spoken a word, suddenly said:
"Although this world is being eroded by the Nether Sea, we have the five pillars in front and the frequent anomalies of the Yanhuang Federation in the back. The Nether Sea and the Four Demons have almost never had a chance to take action."

“I predict that there won’t be a full-scale invasion for the time being. Even if the saints in the palace have the Dao tools bestowed by the Transcendental Master, if they want to completely break through this world, the losses will be so great that they can be called catastrophic.”

Tianliang shook his head and had a different opinion: "You underestimated the value of those two long rivers. This is a transcendental fruition, enough to drive all the True Saints crazy!"

He added: "Many saints in my [Zhenzhen Temple] have already known about this matter. There has been a heated discussion in the temple about this matter, but it will take some time to come to a conclusion."

Luo Shu looked at the starry sky in the distance: "It is not something we can interfere with when it comes to the great Dao war between saints. This is something that the bigwigs above are considering."

An Xunran and the others followed her gaze and saw the location of Donghuang Continent. They immediately guessed what she meant.

Tianliang smiled and said, "I heard that Daoist Luo Shu's trip was not going well?"

An Xunran sighed: "It wasn't going well for me either. I didn't get to meet Ji Jingqiu."

Tianliang looked at him with a strange look in his eyes and said, "Friend An, this trip should represent the newcomer in your palace?"

An Xunran nodded slightly: "Yes, Uncle Ji asked me to bring something to Ji Jingqiu."

Luo Shu had an outstanding appearance, but at this moment her pretty face was cold. She glanced at An Xunran and said nothing.

The senior brother Zhang behind her does not have a harmonious relationship with Ji Linyuan of [Ephemeral Palace], and they are even incompatible.

And she was originally following the order of Senior Brother Zhang to contact the people he left behind in the Federation, but she didn't expect that the people originally under Senior Brother Zhang had been purged from within the Federation, leaving only a few small people.

At first, he wanted to use these people to interfere with the internal operations of the Federation, such as asking where the real body of the Death Demon was imprisoned...

As a result, once they came into contact with it, there was no hope at all. It even attracted the attention of the federal government and was put on the unwelcome list.

Even Senior Brother Zhang himself had already been included in a similar suspicious list by the Federation.

An Xunran smiled and looked at Luo Shu, with a sense of confrontation and tension in their eyes.

Both women are outstanding in both appearance and talent. In Tianliang's eyes, there is a feeling that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

Tianliang cleared his throat, interrupted the two, and joked, "The guy from the Mayfly Palace and this Ji Jingqiu both have the surname Ji, maybe they are from the same clan?"

An Xunran smiled and said, "I haven't heard my uncle mention this."

Luo Shu suddenly said, "Not long ago, I visited the place where Ji Jingqiu was in seclusion, and found that this person seemed to have the ambition to open up the world."

Tianliang was startled, then laughed and said, "You are being humorous, fellow Daoist. Having ambition and being able to do it are two different things."

An Xunran also agreed with this point.

[蜉蝣宫] In the past, there was a "young ancestor" whose achievements when he was young were comparable to those of the palace master when he was young. He dreamed of becoming a king of heaven by "opening the way for the world".

As a result, he wasted tens of thousands of years trying to achieve perfection in heaven, and until the end of his life, he still did not achieve success.

In the end, he did not choose the King of Heaven, which was within his reach, to extend his life, but instead died and entered the cycle of reincarnation.

Because he did not become a king of heaven in his previous life, his true spirit was ignorant after reincarnation and there was no chance of awakening. To this day, no one knows where he is.

Luo Shu did not argue with him, but looked at Tian Liang and said, "If [Huanzhen Temple] really wants to take action in this realm, we [Jietian Sect] can be included. We are very interested in the four demons' true bodies."

Tianliang's eyes flickered: "This is not something you and I should say."

"This is the meaning of the Dao vein behind me."

Luo Shu didn't care at all and said bluntly,
"Senior Brother Zhang has been guarding the Heavenly Road for this Federation for thousands of years, but these people are not only ungrateful, but have also dismissed all of his disciples and students from their positions, either killing them or imprisoning them. We [Jie Tian Sect] will definitely settle this account."

An Xunran sneered, "What a big tone! When did Zhang Tiancheng have the right to speak in the Yanhuang Federation?"

Looking at the two people who were confronting each other again, Tianliang shook his head and said nothing.

The root of this matter is not only the conflict between the two women, nor is it only the conflict between Zhang Tiancheng and Ji Linyuan, but the fact that the Yanhuang Federation is guilty of possessing a treasure.

Just the existence of one of the Four Demons is enough to make one's heart beat even if it is in a transcendental place.

The Mayfly Palace and the Jietian Sect are simply looking for a legitimate reason to try to enter the competition.

Tianliang said, "You two, the Saint King God System of this world has invited us to attend the ceremony. Calculating the time, it's time to set off."

Hearing this, the two girls suddenly stopped their sarcasm, as if they had found a common enemy.

"Chi Ji?" Luo Shu said expressionlessly, "A king of heaven has attained enlightenment, and everyone in the world knows about it. It's really ridiculous."

Tianliang sighed and said, "Daoyou, be careful with your words. That Saint King is not someone you can easily mess with."

"What are you afraid of?" Luo Shu sneered. "The five pillars boasted so loudly before. I really thought they could be compared to the half-step transcendents of each family. But when the Lord Cangqing returned, he couldn't even beat Jiushan, a saint who barely stepped into the ranks of the ancients."

"This person is two saints in one body." Tianliang said.

“But in that battle, he only revealed his true form. In terms of the combat power of his true form, he can only barely be considered an ancient.” Luo Shu said calmly.

Tianliang no longer advised.

If this person was really killed by the Saint King because of his bad mouth, and the Jie Tian Sect came into conflict with them, this situation...

Also good.

It is what they [Huanzhenguan] want to see.

……

……

Tiansheng Lake.

For Tiansheng Lake, the bloody battle has just ended. Although Tiansheng Lake won a great victory this time, Tianwang and Tianzun also suffered losses on the battlefield.

In the words of Master Shouzhen, the kings had been living in comfort for too long, and this battle helped them regain some of their bloodiness.

This battle created a real atmosphere of preparation for war among many forces outside Tiansheng Lake, which was tense and solemn.

On this day, Shouzhen suddenly sent a message to Wutian.

"Is your original self about to break through?"

The latter had not received the message yet, and after hearing it, he tried to contact the main body.

Without waiting for Wu Tian's reply, Shou Zhen said to himself, "It makes no sense for a Heavenly King to invite me to participate in the breakthrough, even if she is the daughter of a Saint King. I'm afraid she has other intentions."

On this side, Wu Tian received the news and replied: "Yes, I have already met with Lord Cang Qing."

Shouzhen fell silent upon hearing this.

Not with the Holy King?
Could it be that Lord Cang Qing has reached an alliance with the Holy King?
If it is true as he guessed, then the situation is not the worst. The five pillars are still the same as they were back then, and they are willing to be the first for everyone.

Thinking of this, Shouzhen frowned slightly. This should be a good thing, but as his mind was fluctuating, he had an inexplicable impulse.

Thinking of this, Shouzhen contacted the True Saint Wubu at the bottom of Tiansheng Lake.

The man with his head bowed and eyes closed, as if carrying the entire Tiansheng Lake on his shoulders, suddenly opened his eyes.

"I'm going to Daluotian for a while. Please take care of the Taoist temple. I feel a little uneasy for some reason." Shouzhen instructed.

The man didn't answer and closed his eyes again.

Shouzhen set out to respond to the invitation of the Holy King.

On the way, Kong Xuan and Yin Yang Taoist Master contacted him one after another.

They also received an invitation.

The Holy King seemed to have extended an invitation to all beings at the True Saint level.

……

A figure like a god stood there, and with a flick of her sleeve, thousands of miniature moons that had been lost in the mortal world were collected into her sleeves, surrounding her like stars surrounding the moon.

"Did 'Saint' personally send an invitation?"

The female deity suddenly whispered.

"Just for Akahime's breakthrough to the Heavenly King?"

This Moon Goddess, who was once as famous as Chi Wanyang, had a figure like a jade tree in a jade forest, beautiful and slightly frowning.

I do not know how long it has been.

The Moon Goddess contacted the True Saint of Nine Mountains.

"You received an invitation as well?"

Jiushan was silent for a moment, then said,

"It feels a little off, but I'll still go take a look. 'Saint' hasn't shown up much since his return. Last time when I tried to test Cang Qing, I was always on guard against him, but I didn't expect that he still didn't make a move."

"You should be careful. I feel that this ceremony might not be simple."

……

Yanhuang Federation.

"Brother went to Daluotian again?" Ji Anquan frowned. "Why has he been coming and going so often recently? Has he not considered buying a house there and settling down there?"

Listening to Master Uncle Ji's ridicule, Mo Naihe said helplessly:

"This time, the Saint King personally invited us. The Grandmaster said that we must give him this honor."

Ji Anquan nodded and said, "Are the people who previously contacted the remnants of the Wanwu Association still under control?"

"This person has already left the Federation. A Heavenly King from the Nine Palaces followed him but was easily thrown off."

Ji Anquan nodded, and suddenly, he raised his head and looked into the distance in surprise and doubt.

Mo Naihe, who was standing by, also felt something and said excitedly, "This is..."

Ji Anquan let out a long breath: "It's finally started."

He stood up and said, "Notify Jiugong and Sun God Dynasty... Brother Ji is about to break through."

……

……

Daluotian.

temple.

As more and more saints took their seats.

Cangyou was speechless and looked strange.

It has been some time since the Saint King returned, but he has not taken any action. Even when all the saints gathered in Daluo Heaven and the Nine Mountain True Saints provoked Cang Qing, he never showed up.

So much so that many people have forgotten that this god, who is given the title of "Holy King", has always been known for his overbearing style of doing things.

Even she had somewhat forgotten.

So the way this person wanted to protect Ji Jingqiu was to gather all the True Saints in one place and suppress anyone who dared to take action?

"Sheng, has Chiji made another breakthrough recently?"

The Moon Goddess walked into this temple many years in the future, feeling a little nostalgic.

Seeing the Moon God coming, many ancient gods and saints nodded at her. After the Moon God responded one by one, he saw Chi Ji making final preparations before breaking through in an independent world not far away.

He suddenly asked with some surprise.

The Chiji who had perfectly inherited the bad temper of "Saint" in the past, now has a completely new temperament.

"Is this your daughter? Did you give birth to twins?"

A powerful being suddenly appeared on the scene and asked in surprise.

This figure was shrouded in chaos and became the focus of the audience as soon as he appeared.

He was the emperor of the void lineage among the five pillars, and the first void behemoth born in this realm.

Hearing this person's words, many True Saints who had met Chi Ji before couldn't help but nodded.

At this moment.

The woman who stood on the divine platform of the Holy King's lineage, was alone, standing at the highest point of Daluo Heaven. She was ethereal, pure and inactive, with a flawless appearance, giving off a sense of being isolated from the world.

There were outstanding disciples from various families who followed the saints, including many top kings. At this moment, some of them were staring with their eyes wide open.

If you want to choose a partner, this person is the best choice in terms of talent, ability, and background.

Even the saints couldn't help but take a few more glances, nodded slightly, and showed appreciation in their eyes.

It must be admitted that the Saint King's genes are indeed powerful. In terms of appearance and temperament alone, Chi Ji can actually be compared with innate female gods such as the Moon Goddess.

A true saint nodded and said, "Without a single thought, heaven and earth coexist. The most valuable thing is to have a mind like a mirror. It is not like sitting and forgetting, but it is better than sitting and forgetting."

aside.

Tianliang and the other two returned to their respective camps and met the leader of this team.

Under the guidance of his junior fellow apprentice, Tianliang looked into the distance and saw misty waves and a magnificent scene. A woman who was as elegant as an orchid born in the mountains made him feel ashamed of himself.

"Is that Akahime?" Tianliang murmured with a dazed look.

The old man behind him laughed and said, "This girl is indeed good, but you guys are exaggerating a bit. Why don't you ask the Saint King for you later to see if she has any intention of getting married?"

Tianliang murmured, "It's OK to marry into the family..."

The old man squinted his eyes and slapped him on the back of the head: "What a success! How did you complete this mission?"

Tianliang finally came back to his senses: "Master, everything has been sent back."

The old man nodded: "Then sit down."

……

On one side, Luo Shu returned to the Jie Tian Sect's camp and paid a visit to a true saint ancestor who led the team.

After hearing Luo Shu's detailed report, the True Saint Patriarch said in a deep voice: "This matter is not urgent. We need to think about it in the long run. I'm afraid that our Jietian Sect alone cannot handle it."

After that, at the master's signal, Luo Shu looked to the side. The powerful saints who had gathered in this realm heard the master's whisper in her heart:

"In this realm, there are more than twenty True Saints gathered here!"

Luo Shu was immediately frightened and pale: "How is this possible? How can this realm accommodate such a True Saint?!"

As the strongest being before transcendence, the True Saint can be called a supreme being. The number of True Saints that each realm can accommodate is limited.

Once the quota for the fruit position is full, no matter how strong the latecomers are, they will not be able to cross this threshold and can only wait for the true saint to "abdicate".

The number of True Saints in this world far exceeds that in ordinary realms, and even exceeds that of True Saints in the transcendental sects!

"It should be related to the two long rivers that transcend levels." The ancestor said in a fiery voice, "Fortunately, these people are not of one mind. As long as we can convince some of them, we still have hope."

Hearing this, Luo Shu immediately revealed an idea.

"Yanhuang Federation?" The ancestor pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, the sect is already preparing for this. The leader is personally refining a heavy weapon, which is expected to directly relocate the star region where the Yanhuang Federation is located."

Hearing this, Luo Shu was greatly encouraged: "The leader personally took action?!"

The True Saint Patriarch nodded and said, "The leader will not take it lightly if it involves the Four Demons. In this matter, Junior Brother Zhang also made a lot of efforts."

"Is it Senior Brother Zhang Tiancheng?" Luo Shu asked tentatively.

"When you go back this time, you should call him Uncle Master." The ancestor smiled faintly, "Nephew Zhang has made great contributions this time and has been highly rewarded by the ancestor."

Luo Shu wanted to say something when there were sudden changes in the heaven and earth ahead.

"The breakthrough has begun." The ancestor waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to their seats.

After returning to his seat, Luo Shu glanced at where Chi Ji was, and his pupils suddenly shrank, not only because of the other party's temperament and appearance, but also because of such a grand ceremony!
To achieve a breakthrough to the level of Heavenly King, there were actually more than twenty True Saints coming out to watch the ceremony. This was simply unheard of!

Just as Akahime was about to take the crucial step.

The expressions of the saints changed slightly and they looked up.

In the temple where they were, a supreme formation was suddenly activated, isolating this place from the outside world.

The saints frowned slightly, but none of them rushed to take action, because this was a protective formation.

The Void Emperor, who was standing in the chaos, looked at the approaching Saint King and squinted his eyes and asked, "What's wrong, Saint? Are you planning to catch us all in one fell swoop?"

The Saint King walked slowly over, with his hands behind his back, without even looking at the other saints, his eyes were all on the legitimate daughter, and he said calmly:
"I want to ask everyone for a favor. No matter who you are today, please sit here and don't take any action."

Cangyu took a deep breath. This guy really thought so!

Ji Jingqiu is spreading his teachings across the world, but he is afraid that some saints will come to stop him, so he needs someone to protect him. So he gathers all the saints together, and who will suppress whom? !
Cangyou couldn't help but complain in his heart that if He Donghuang were still alive, he would have a lot to talk about with this person.
