Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 391: The old friend of the sea, the former wave died on the beach
Ji Tianxing smiled, ignored the Taoist's joke, and slowly said:

"Fellow Taoist Taiyi, is there any way to stop the ripples of this avenue from spreading further?"

"At this level, it is no longer necessary." Taiyi shook his head and said, "Although there are few people who can open up the world, there is no shortage of geniuses in such a vast sea."

"Oh?"

Taiyi said calmly: "Opening a path is nothing. The real ability is to promote one's own path to cover the boundless realm."

"This seems to be the difference between the true and false transcendents that Daoyou mentioned before?"

Ji Tianxing retracted his gaze and looked into the distance again. He could vaguely see a pair of scarlet and bloodthirsty eyes, hidden behind the hazy curtain, staring at them viciously.

"It has been discovered by the real master." Ji Tianxing said to himself, "It is indeed as difficult as ascending to heaven to invade a realm. No wonder you, with your special authority and path, need to rely on the power of the Nether Sea."

"The power of the Dark Sea is not so easy to borrow. It depends on its will." Taiyi said, "We can't change the course of the Dark Sea. We are just ordinary passengers, drifting with the ship. Wherever it goes, we will drift there. But now, it won't even let us get on the ship."

"Is this the reason why you gave up the Dark Sea?"

“Yes and no.” Taiyi shook his head and said, “The Dark Sea is far more vast and terrifying than you can imagine. Your previous understanding is only a small part of it.”

At this point, Taiyi stepped out from the shadows, looked in the direction he came from, and squinted his eyes and said:

"I have been thinking about one thing. Between the four of us and You Hai, who is in disguise of whom? In order to prove this point, I let Wu Zhou take down Hela's throne."

"In theory, their powers complement each other, but after Wu Zhou ascended to Haila's throne, he still failed to merge with Dao Youhai."

Taiyi sighed and said, "Of course, my fellow Daoist Zhou probably still thinks that this is his own problem, not an external factor. As a bystander, I was really anxious watching from the sidelines, and I wished I could take part in it myself."

Ji Tianxing said calmly: "If I step in and get trapped in the 'maze' like my Taoist friend Zhou, Taoist friend Taiyi must not just stand by and watch the show."

"Fellow Taoist, you are joking."

Taiyi completely ignored the terrifying aura gradually rising from the distance and laughed.
"If Brother Ji Daoyou is as 'obstinate' as Wu Zhou, won't I have to find another companion? It's fate that the future successor of Brother Ji will have the same surname as you, but with different characters."

Ji Tianxing smiled.

Today, Fellow Taoist Taiyi is still as flawless as ever.

He looked ahead with interest.

The place where the two were located was a vast sea with no visible boundaries.

Each wave contains a world, rising and falling with the waves. Along the way, I saw countless immortal skeletons floating in the sea, including quite a few holy corpses.

Along the way, what I have seen in just twenty years has far exceeded what I have seen in my entire lifetime.

Just now.

In the distance, suddenly, the shadow of a boundary appeared above the boundary sea. It seemed to be burning, extremely dazzling, and illuminated from the inside out, shining like a lighthouse in the ocean.

This astonishing scene instantly attracted creatures like Ji Tianxing and Taiyi.

In the sea of ​​boundaries, one ancient figure after another emerged from the waves, standing on the crest of the tide and looking in that direction.

In an instant.

A tacit expedition began.

Some extremely powerful men began to force their way across the sea.

In a quick glance, Ji Tianxing saw some forbidden creatures stepping on the remnant world, crossing the waves, and just "brushing past" them not far away.

They looked at each other, and the latter saw Taiyi beside Ji Tianxing.
"This is……?"

Ji Tianxing looked at the encyclopedia of gods walking beside him and asked without hesitation.

Taiyi did not reply, but stared in that direction for a long time, until he confirmed something, then he clapped his hands and smiled:
"Tian Xing Daoyou is very lucky. He has only been out for 20 years and has seen someone attain enlightenment and transcendence. Come on, come on. If you go too late, you won't even be able to eat the leftovers."

Seeing Taiyi so excited, Ji Tianxing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said:
"Someone over there has attained enlightenment. Are they rushing to their death?"

Taiyi had already set out on the road, transformed into a black shadow, drifting with the current. Upon hearing this, he laughed loudly and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you are joking. If transcendence is so easy to prove, wouldn't it be everywhere in this sea of ​​​​realms? Even if it is the path of 'realm master' that we despise, looking across the sea of ​​​​realms, we may not be able to find one even in a thousand realms!"

"In my opinion, this unknown fellow Taoist is doomed to fail in his attempt to attain enlightenment, and his original realm will be exposed to the vast sea of ​​realms, becoming a prey for many 'fellow Taoists'."

At this point, Taiyi said:
"Fellow Daoist, now you know why I said before that the man who prevented He Donghuang from becoming a Daoist actually saved his life, and also saved your entire realm!"

……

……

The boundless sea.

In the vast and boundless world.

In the sea of ​​clouds, a series of dull thunders echoed.

There was a god sitting high in the clouds, overlooking the world with a pair of cold, pure golden eyes.

Just by sitting here, the heaven and earth are "connected" with it, forming a phenomenon of assimilation.

It was not that he was assimilated by the heaven and earth, but that this world was captured and passively swallowed by the world within it.

"Wuyazi, hand over Ji Linyuan, and this matter ends here! Otherwise, it will not end today!"

The majestic shouts were like thunder, resounding across the heavens and earth, causing the sea of ​​clouds to roll over for thousands of miles.

Around him, there were hundreds of figures with different auras, looking coldly at the floating fairy mountain in front of them and glaring at them.

In the cave of the immortal mountain, an old man with an immortal look snorted coldly and displayed his magical power to change the world. A snow-white statue with fluttering sleeves towered over the heaven and earth, not inferior to the other party in the slightest. He replied without any hesitation:
"Mr. Zhou, I think you've been dreaming too much!"

The god said gloomily: "Your disciple Ji Linyuan has only been a disciple for a few decades, but he is so cruel that he even dares to kill the direct descendants of the Taoist temple. He is so violent. If we don't kill him to set an example, how can we give an explanation to the palace!"

The immortal Dharma image sneered: "Right and wrong, justice is in the hearts of the people! Those people are courting death. They even dared to sell out the coordinates of their own disciples on the battlefield. Afterwards, they dared to try to surround and kill Lin Yuan. Such disciples should be left to die!"

"Hmph!" The god said coldly, "Even if the three of them have selfish motives, it is not the turn of a Heavenly King like Ji Linyuan to make the decision! Otherwise, what is the use of the Law Enforcement Hall in the palace? If everyone oversteps their authority and kills the disciples at will, what is the difference between my [Ephemeral Palace] and the Demon Sect?! Wouldn't that be a disaster!"

Even the immortal Dharmakaya found it difficult to refute this point, but in the end he remained silent and shook his head.

The god sneered and said, "You can't come up with a reasonable explanation, and you don't obey the rules. Are you planning to rebel against the palace?"

The immortal's expression changed, and he said, "Stop talking nonsense!"

At this moment, not only the two of them, but also the disciples of the two factions below were all in confrontation.

As the two ancestors gave in to each other, the atmosphere between heaven and earth became extremely tense and on the verge of a showdown.

But no one wants to start a war first. Not to mention that it violates the rules of the sect, this fight alone will have far-reaching consequences, which is a price that no party is willing to bear easily.

Suddenly.

A sword light as powerful as a rainbow fell from the sky.

The whole world shook violently.

Everyone looked over and saw a woman in red with fluttering sleeves.

She stood right between the gods and immortals, looking around at everyone and said expressionlessly:
"The Grandmaster has given his order, and you all must obey."

Just at this time.

A long bell rang.

The sound spread into the void for who knows how many miles and lasted for a long time.

The red-dressed woman's eyes moved slightly, and she looked in surprise, as if she didn't expect it to be so fast.

The disciples below had already started discussing.

"Is this... the Daoye Heavenly Ladder? Someone is trying to break into the Daoye Heavenly Ladder?"

"How could the sound of the bell be heard so long and far?"

"Could it be... that Ji Linyuan?!"

The red-clothed woman collected her thoughts and said softly, "The master has ordered that if Ji Linyuan can pass the ladder, he must follow the rules. As long as he does not betray his master, all punishments can be exempted. If he cannot pass, he will be ordered to guard the Eye of the Earth's Core for three hundred years to serve as a warning to others."

At this moment, both sides changed color and felt worried.

But one side was worried that Ji Linyuan had really passed this Ladder of Karma. According to the palace regulations, exemption from responsibility and punishment was only secondary.

The other party was naturally worried that Junior Brother Ji and Uncle Ji would not be able to get through and would be thrown into the Eye of the Earth's Center by the sect.

That place, even if a Heavenly Lord went there, his Taoism and foundation would continue to be damaged.

It would be difficult for a king to last even for thirty years, let alone three hundred years!
Unable to hold back, the crowd began to fly away from this place, heading towards the place where the bell sounded in the distance.

Not long after.

An endless staircase leading to heaven came into everyone's sight.

From a distance, you can see a tall young man wearing a loose Taoist robe walking on the steps.

There are already many powerful people from various factions surrounding them.

"The Daoye Heavenly Ladder has not been seen for decades."

"This was left by the founder before he attained enlightenment. Anyone below the eighth realm can enter. It will adjust itself according to the realm. I wonder how many levels this person can pass."

"Haha, this person must at least pass the ninth level, otherwise he will be thrown into the Eye of the Earth's Center."

"Oh? It turns out to be this Junior Brother Ji——"

Someone took a closer look and saw that it was a young man who had returned to his peak moment. He had a polite smile on his face, but he seemed to be extremely arrogant, which made people feel uncomfortable.

At this time.

The second bell rang.

On the stairs, the man had already walked through the second level.

He put his hands into his sleeves, allowing the infinite sword energy to rush towards him. He squinted his eyes and seemed too lazy to even take his hands out of his sleeves.

The mighty sword intent turned into a surging Yangtze River, the robes rustled, and there seemed to be a slight sound of clothes tearing between heaven and earth.

That person was like a pillar in the middle of a stream. He just walked leisurely, letting the long river of sword intent bypass him from both sides without any hesitation.

This seemingly effortless scene was extremely dazzling in the eyes of the strong men on the side of gods and men.

As the bells rang.

The warriors who were discussing how many levels he could pass chose to remain silent, their eyes burning. The strong men from the God-man faction looked even more gloomy.

Could it be possible that this fellow disciple, who has only been in the sect for a few decades, could really pass the ladder of Taoism?

"If I remember correctly, the chance that the Heavenly King can pass this Ladder of Karma and become a True Saint in the future is... 40%?"

"A hundred years ago, the probability of the ancestor of the dynasty being promoted to a true saint was already 50%."

Someone whispered.

Until the ninth bell.

Everyone held their breath and looked on.

At this time, on the ladder, the sword intent had reached its peak, and the knees of the young man under pressure began to bend slightly, and a creaking sound came from his body.

After witnessing this scene, some people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought that this person might be blocked at this level and have difficulty moving forward.

The man who would not allow himself to bend his knees and bow his head, and who had never known what it meant to bow his head, had a violent look on his face, and slowly stood up straight.

His unrestrained and pinnacle boxing spirit was like a waterfall hanging upside down from the sky, attracting everyone's attention.

He raised his right foot.

Step down suddenly!
In an instant.

In heaven and earth.

Center around him.

The void of heaven and earth, the great principles of law, all "spread" outward with countless cracks!
An unbridled and extremely domineering fist shot up into the sky, stirring up the clouds and filling the sky!

Even the Heavenly Venerable Daoist Ancestor, who was one realm higher than him, felt that this person was extremely dazzling at this moment and needed to lower his brows slightly when looking at him.

Bang!
The ninth bell rang through the sky!
All parties remained silent.

After a long time, someone suddenly spoke up: "I think there is room for discussion on the crime of injuring a fellow disciple. Isn't it reasonable and legitimate defense for Junior Brother Ji to conspire with outsiders to assassinate one of his own? Even according to the palace regulations, those people should be killed!"

"Although Junior Brother Ji's attack was a bit ruthless, it is understandable..."

"Is it excusable? The one who died was not your disciple!"

"Oh, none of my disciples would collude with outsiders to kill their own family members, and then be killed in return, which is a disgrace."

"you……"

"Well, I have passed the ninth level of the Daoist ladder. As long as I have not betrayed my master, betrayed my master and destroyed my ancestors, all the guilt and responsibility are nothing."

I heard the discussion below is already one-sided.

The god who had led his men to question the crime earlier left with a cold face, leaving only a threat:
“Wuyazi, protect your disciple well. This is a seed with a 50% chance of being promoted to a True Saint. If he dies halfway, you will be punished by the Palace Master.”

Taoist Wuya ignored him completely and personally welcomed back Ji Linyuan who had stepped onto the Taoist Ladder.

"Master Ya."

Ji Linyuan walked back leisurely and nodded slightly as a greeting.

After walking up the ladder to heaven, his Taoist robe was not damaged and his aura did not decrease but increased instead.

Wuyazi didn't care about etiquette at all and felt happy and relieved.

It is estimated that in a few hundred thousand years at the shortest, or a million years at the longest, their lineage will most likely have a third True Saint in charge!

"If you want to go to the Sea Boundary battlefield next, you must follow your senior brothers and uncles."

As if he had thought of something, Wuyazi gave a serious warning.

Ji Linyuan should not ask back: "I wonder if Junior Brother An, who was in charge of visiting my world, has returned?"

Wuyazi shook his head helplessly, knowing that this guy obviously didn't listen.

"Some news has been sent back, but the person hasn't returned yet."

Wuyazi did not choose to speak, but instead communicated through his mind. It was obvious that this matter was rather secretive.

"The news sent back by the delegation is very 'complicated'. The world you came from is not simple. You don't need to worry. The palace will most likely not choose to conquer by force..."

Thinking of the news that came back not long ago, Wuyazi sighed.

Some of the news shook the palace severely.

That realm is really weird. Apart from the fact that there is no real transcendent in charge, the number of true saints alone is close to that of other transcendent sects.

It is hard to imagine that without a transcendent being in charge, the origin of the realm can be strong enough to support so many beings who have entered the ultimate realm of the Tao.

"What about the Yanhuang Federation?" Ji Linyuan asked.

Wuyazi's expression instantly brightened, and he whispered, "What is your relationship with Ji Jingqiu?"

"Master Ya, what's wrong?"

Wuyazi looked at Ji Linyuan in front of him and sighed.

Lin Yuan's talent and ability make him a leader in the recent generations of the Fei Palace, but compared with that young man, he is still far behind.

And such outstanding talents actually come from the same place.

Not the same world, but the same civilization!
The difference is even less than a hundred years!

"The latest news is that Ji Jingqiu opened up the world a few days ago. As a king of heaven, he became the ancestor of the great way. Moreover, there were astonishing phenomena before he opened up the world. We need to continue to explore..."

Ji Linyuan murmured, "The ancestor of the Great Dao? Has he become a Heavenly King?"

Wuyazi sighed and said, "This person's talent and ability are comparable to that of the Palace Master back then, and have even surpassed that of the Young Ancestor. If you, Linyuan, can bring him into the palace..."

Ji Linyuan completely ignored what followed.

His expression was unusually serious and profound.

That kid has actually become a superstar.

And the ancestor of the great way?

He immediately connected to the spiritual intranet of the Mayfly Palace, consulted the huge library, and found the meaning of the so-called ancestor of the great way.

Then his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.

Not to mention the path that leads directly to the realm of Dao Ancestor, the mere fact that he can accelerate the accumulation of Dao practice and Dao power will allow this kid to far surpass other Heavenly Kings in the realm of Heavenly King.

Ji Linyuan's expression suddenly became serious.

He has been paying close attention to the developments in the Yanhuang Federation over the years, but has never been able to get in touch with them.

For some unknown reason, the Mayfly Palace had no intention of letting them return.

I didn't expect that in just over twenty years, the kid who had just started practicing martial arts and could be bullied by just a breath of air had almost reached the same level as me.

During the past twenty years, Ji Linyuan, who had stepped into the third level of the King of Heaven and boasted of his amazing speed and was catching up with his old predecessors, felt the oppression that his old predecessors had felt over the years.

When the grandparents and grandchildren meet in the future, will the situation be reversed?
Thinking of this, Ji Linyuan completely lost the momentum he had before to break through the Heavenly Ladder. After bidding farewell to Master Ya, he hurried away, ready to look for several fellow Taoists from the Ke family.

This was to prevent them from being too busy in retreat and not knowing that he had just stepped onto the ladder of Taoism, and also to share with them the fact that his grandson was about to beat all the waves in front of him to death on the beach.

Beside Wuyazi, a woman in Taoist robes said with some surprise:

"Why does Junior Brother Linyuan look a little hurried? This is unlike him. In the past, he always looked nonchalant even when the sky was falling, didn't he?"

Wuyazi twisted his beard and said jokingly:
"Perhaps he is now the same as you who looked at him in the past."

The Taoist robe woman was speechless, and then reminded: "Master, you seem to have forgotten to mention the upcoming 'Daoist Contest' to Junior Brother Linyuan."

Wuyazi shook his head and said, "Not yet. Let Linyuan settle down for a few more years. I am really worried about him participating in the Dao Contest before he is 200 years old."

The Taoist robe woman shook her head and said, "If Junior Brother Linyuan's realm also participates in this battle, the Grandmaster will definitely participate. In terms of age, he is only a fraction of Junior Brother Linyuan's age."

Wuyazi was speechless for a moment.

……

……

An unnamed realm.

"Junior Brother Mu."

A young man dressed very youthfully and trendily walked into an ancient temple.

The temple is old but not dilapidated. The gate is open and an old man is sitting cross-legged in the depths of the temple, accompanied by green lamps and wooden fish.

The old man opened his eyes and saw that it was the ancestor of the Mu family, the former supreme master, Mu Chantian.

After twenty years of not seeing him, his aura has already surpassed the realm of a Heavenly King and entered the realm of a Heavenly Venerable.

"Senior Brother Mu." Mu Chantian nodded and said, "How come you have time to come to my place today?"

The young man in front of him, although he looked young, was actually an almighty powerful being who had been traveling the sea of ​​​​realms for many years.

More than twenty years ago, it was this substitute master who came and snatched them away from other transcendental sects and took them into his own temple.

According to him, his master had met the ancestor of the Mu family once in the past and they got along very well, so he ordered him to bring them here in order to avoid a cause and effect.

Mu Jiuzhou said in amazement: "I remember you said before that the Buddha of this generation is called Ji Jingqiu?"

Upon hearing that this matter seemed to be related to Ji Jingqiu, Mu Chantian's expression immediately became serious.

"Yes, Brother Mu, but what happened?"

Mu Jiuzhou said with great interest: "I received news that about a month ago, Ji Jingqiu opened up the world and used the status of the ancestor of the Great Dao as the foundation of the Heavenly King!"

Mu Chantian was not clear about the concept of the ancestor of the Great Dao, but he understood the last four words.

After being stunned for a while, Mu Chantian asked suspiciously, "It's only been a few years, and this kid has already entered the realm of Heavenly King? Is his foundation in Taoism still solid?"

"Solid, so damn solid." Mu Jiuzhou squatted on the threshold of the ancient temple and sighed, "I have looked all over the world and he is the most solid one. It is hard to find anyone more solid than him!"
