Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 392: Great Spectacular Scene, Moon-Slashing Sword Light

Over the years, through the information channels of Senior Brother Mu, Mu Chantian knew about the major and minor events that happened in the Federation after they left.

After hearing the ancestors from ten thousand years ago appear and leave one after another, Mu Chanxin was so excited that he broke out of his years of mental cultivation and wished he could go with the ancestors.

I originally thought that once the universe was unsealed, I and my companions would be able to return, but I didn't expect to be stopped by Senior Brother Mu.

When asked the reason, Senior Brother Mu just shook his head:
"That's what Master ordered me to do. I don't care about anything else but just follow Master's instructions. Anyway, you just need to stay here peacefully."

"With your strength, it would be useless to go back now. On the contrary, it might bring disaster to the Federation."

"What kind of disaster is it?" Mu Chanxin asked.

"Master said it has something to do with past karma." Mu Jiuzhou said firmly, "Then it must be related to the karma of your lineage. Master said it's a pity for Mu Shitian, so at least we should leave him a descendant."

Mu Chan was speechless. If they really wanted to leave a successor, they should look for one among the younger generation of the Mu family. Could it be that this guy was still expecting him to succeed as an old man?
He is not like Ke Qianchi, who can still have a large family and grandchildren after thousands of years.

Mu Chanxin suddenly frowned and said, "Wouldn't Ji Jingqiu be suffering for us?"

"He is the Buddha of this generation." Mu Jiuzhou said as a matter of course, "Master said that the cause and effect of the Buddha's lineage must be borne by the Buddha. Otherwise, how can we understand the great way of cause and effect?"

Mu Chanxin had a headache.

According to the folk saying in the Federation, this Senior Brother Mu is somewhat of a "Master treasure" and he always says "Master said so" whenever he opens his mouth.

Mu Chanxin said in a deep voice: "I have heard recently that many Taoist temples are coveting the realm where we were born. I hope Brother Mu can help us to the best of his ability."

"You can rest assured about this, Junior Brother. We have always had channels to keep an eye on your realm."

Mu Jiuzhou smacked it for a while.
"Your side is not simple..."

"Brother Mu, didn't you mention the countryside last time?" Mu Chanxin asked tentatively.

Mu Jiuzhou laughed dryly, cleared his throat, and said seriously:
"We may live in the countryside now, but if we count back, our ancestors must have been nobles, so there is still a golden hoe left by our ancestors hidden in the basement of our house..."

"I was wondering why Youhai and Kuhai went on a date in that remote place of yours..."

Mu Chanxin didn't quite understand what this meant.

Mu Jiuzhou had no intention of explaining, he smacked his lips and said,
"You don't have to worry about it for now. Unless someone can't figure it out and wants to die, no one will try to invade in the short term before they figure it out."

"And even if there is an invasion..."

Mu Jiuzhou shook his head.
"Your place is a place of poverty and hard water, and it's home to many unruly people. As for the five pillars, the Saint Kings among them, according to the intelligence sent back, I would be killed if I went there. There are actually four of them..."

He couldn't help but let out a sigh.

What the hell is this place?

Mu Chan felt a little relieved. The senior brother Mu in front of him was able to make his way in the sea of ​​​​boundaries, which showed his strength. He even believed that he was no match for the Saint King.

The ancestors once left a message that the stronger the five pillars are, the safer and more stable the realm they are in will be.

History has proven that the five pillars are broad-minded enough to rule the world.

"correct……"

Mu Jiuzhou's eyes suddenly became hot.
"Brother Mu, if you are really bored here, why don't I take you out for a walk, witness a feast, and see how our fortunes are."

"What feast?" Mu Chanxin was not very interested, knowing that this person probably wanted to go out on his own.

Mu Jiuzhou said word by word: "Transcendent death."

Mu Chan was stunned. When he realized what he heard, he said in shock:

"What did you say?!"

"Surprised?" Mu Jiuzhou said with a smile, "Well, strictly speaking, it should be quasi-transcendence."

He stood up, brushed off the dust, and snapped his fingers. The shadow of an endless ocean swallowed up the ancient temple.

In this vast ocean, so huge that any existence seems insignificant, there is actually an area that is as bright as burning. It is extremely eye-catching in the sky, like a lighthouse.

Without waiting for Mu Chanxin to ask, Mu Jiuzhou put away his previous smile, with a complicated expression, and actually sighed:
"This Taoist is called Chaoge. According to the time in the Sea of ​​Realm, he has been a saint for more than three epochs. This time, he is risking all the resources of his world and making a great leap, trying to cross the final threshold."

"Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, his success rate of breaking through will not exceed one in a thousand."

"You also saw that when he broke through, the Great Dao was revealed, causing his realm to be exposed in the sea of ​​realms. It was destined to be targeted by countless powerful people, and a 'feast' was inevitable."

"Junior Brother Mu, you are extremely talented, worthy of being the descendant of that person. You have reached the level of Heavenly Venerable in less than ten thousand years, but your experience is inevitably too shallow. This time I will take you to join in the fun, not only to broaden your horizons, but also to find a chance to grab some fragments of the realm and the origin of the Great Dao."

Mu Chanxin couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

With all the powerful people gathered together, it goes without saying what the end of this realm will be. No wonder it is a "feast".

If one person fails to prove his truth, the entire world will be destroyed.

It is said that in the past, Hertz had the hope of breaking through the last hurdle, but no one knows why he stopped. I wonder if this reason is one of them.

Mu Chanxin was about to say something when Mu Jiuzhou suddenly remembered something and raised his hand to stop him:
"If you want me to save the creatures in that realm, forget it. I can go there myself. Before I leave, I will ban you and let you practice well here..."

He suddenly remembered that this junior fellow student's surname was Mu.

Mu Chan's heart choked for a moment, and he shook his head slowly, saying, "Our family is not that pedantic. Our ancestors left us a precept that 'if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world'. I would not say such a ridiculous thing."

Mu Jiuzhou said with admiration: "No wonder Master favors your lineage."

Mu Chanxin said calmly, "I have achieved success in the Dao of the Heavenly Venerable. According to what Senior Brother Mu said, the only thing missing in my inner world is the various 'Dao Soldiers'. I hope I can gain something from this trip."

Mu Jiuzhou: “…”

He shook his head in amusement.

After all this fuss, we still have to save people.

It's just like taking off your pants to fart, it's a waste of time.

However, just the sentence "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world" was enough to put him at ease.

"Then pack up and get on the road." Mu Jiuzhou added, "If you're lucky this time, you might be able to see your old friends."

Mu Chanxin was a little surprised. Other fellow Taoists would also go?

Mu Jiuzhou thought of something and murmured, "I wonder if this 'Dao Fight' will be held in this 'Qing Liuli Realm'. Calculating the time, it seems to be coming soon..."

……

……

Several months have passed since Ji Jingqiu broke through to the King of Heaven level.

During this period of time, many people have been looking for him, especially the various Taoist temples, all of which want him to come out and preach to the disciples, as well as to win them over and show goodwill.

But all the searches were fruitless.

All parties thought that he had entered a deep state of retreat and had to give up for the time being.

But only the Cangqing lineage knew that after that day, Ji Jingqiu plunged into the dark sea.

Lord Cang Qing did not stop this.

Although the danger hidden in the depths of the Youhai is not necessarily less than that of the Buried Sea, based on what Ji Jingqiu did before he opened the way, Cang Qing concluded that the Youhai and Ji Jingqiu are "destined".

When one reaches a certain realm, the word "fate" is more unsolvable than natural talent, or even infinite Taoist power.

Over the past few months, Ji Jingqiu has been consolidating his realm after the breakthrough while searching for a certain area in the dark sea.

"...The paths to transcendence in each realm are different, and each has its own emphasis."

"The spiritual system of your realm is essentially the same as the most widespread 'Dao Realm System' in the Realm Sea, but it is more suitable for you than the latter. The reason is naturally the existence of this Nether Sea."

"So your [Keeping the Void and Tranquility] may not work in other realms, but you are thinking of opening up the Dao Realm Sea and fulfilling the beautiful dream of the original Dao Ancestor."

Wu Zhou feels that this kid's growth path has been too smooth. He needs setbacks and suppression, otherwise his life will be incomplete.

Recently, this kid even dared to think about opening a sea of ​​​​road. He is really asking for his own life.

Ji Jingqiu felt that Wu Zhou had been talking too much recently. Compared to before, he was not only less autistic, but also more spiritual. The sarcasm and provocation in his expression did not seem fake, which made him want to do something.

Then he took action.

After entering the Heavenly King stage, his spiritual practice naturally went from [keeping emptiness and tranquility] to [sitting and forgetting].

So recently he has had new insights into spiritual practice. He believes that those who practice spiritual cultivation should not only control their hearts at all times, but also need to "express their true feelings" in moderation.

For example, at this moment, he was expressing his true feelings and suppressing the demons of the past for the sake of countless suffering lives.

Hila was standing by, but she did not support Wu Zhou at all. She just explained to Ji Jingqiu:
"You should have noticed that during this time of opening up the Dao to the world, at a critical moment, you almost merged with the Dao of the universe, and imprinted your Dao into the universe. Most of your Dao blessings came from this period of time."

"If you want to pave the way for the Sea of ​​Boundaries, you must integrate your own 'Tao' and 'Principle' into the entire Sea of ​​Boundaries, and let the infinite universe within the Sea of ​​Boundaries accept your great Dao and your principles."

"Not to mention you, theoretically even a transcendent can't do it."

"A true saint controls the heaven and earth, and can merge part of the universe, but it is difficult to completely replace it, otherwise the result will be to become another heaven, or a part of the heaven."

"A truly transcendent person can of course replace the heaven and earth avenue of a large universe at will, but when this value reaches hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands... quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes, and even a transcendent person will not be able to withstand it."

Ji Jingqiu suppressed Wu Zhou while thinking about something.

When he was opening up his way across the world, everything went very smoothly without any resistance.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't know the ins and outs of it.

Following Hela's description, Ji Jingqiu imagined the scene of opening up the sea with a serious expression.

Well, there's really no need to think about it for now.

To achieve this step, it is obviously impossible to reach the sky in one step, so the only way is to accumulate small steps day by day, and walk through one realm after another.

But as Wu Zhou said, not all realms are suitable for the mind system, unless...

The Dark Sea treats every realm equally.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu shook his head, his heart continuing to sink.

With his spiritual cultivation of [Zuowang], even without the light of wisdom, he can roam in the abyss area above the wilderness.

Moreover, compared with the past, the Dark Sea has become significantly calmer, and the various bizarre disasters that roam within it also show signs of abating.

Huangtian Jiuzhou, which is the "closest" to the Youhai, has also recently shown signs of recovery.

Ji Jingqiu's true Buddha clone, with the help of Gu Lu's will and the will of Emperor Tian, ​​has now successfully entered the eighth realm.

Currently, the True Buddha and the Ancient Road Will have officially joined forces and are making certain preparations to welcome the return. It seems that after the Dark Sea calms down, the True Saints and powerful men of the Imperial Heaven's past may also have the possibility of returning.

When Huangtian was at its peak, there were several true saints, but they all died one after another, and one sank into the dark sea.

The so-called return from the catastrophe by the True Saint is essentially that one’s Tao is immortal after death, so it does not include death outside the realm, and the Pluto Sea also belongs to this category.

Therefore, the True Saints of the Heavens seldom explored the Dark Sea, let alone joined forces to enter the Dark Sea and suppress the Four Demons... Over the past few months, Ji Jingqiu has been paying attention to the developments of the Imperial Heaven.

After realizing that a lot of preparation was still needed over there, he temporarily withdrew his attention.

After I don't know how long it took.

Ji Jingqiu finally arrived at the depths of the dark sea, an unknown area that he could sense something about.

In the pitch-black darkness, it gradually became brighter. In the distance, blood-red rays of light were rolling in the depths, interweaving with mysterious colorful lights.

As soon as Ji Jingqiu got closer, he clearly felt that the rules here suppressed all the great principles. As he walked into it, all his Taoist power became silent.

"Is this the deepest wilderness?" Ji Jingqiu walked forward cautiously. "Have you been here before?"

Wu Zhou snorted coldly: "The Dark Sea is so vast, there are too many places we have never been to."

Hila laughed and said, “Didn’t you once merge with the Dao across half of the Dark Sea?”

Wu Zhou ignored this woman.

In the past few months, Ji Jingqiu went deep into the Youhai Sea at the instigation of Wu Zhou.

In his words, he wanted to verify something.

He also told Ji Jingqiu to relax, saying that he was different from before, and he had made a bet with Mu Shitian that if there was any danger in the Dark Sea, he would give advice.

Ji Jingqiu didn't believe a single word of this.

What drove him here was the call of the dark sea itself.

After this breakthrough, he stepped into the dark sea again. It might be an exaggeration to say that he felt like he was home, but it was also a great feeling.
The invisible sense of spying and threat that existed everywhere in the dark sea disappeared without a trace.

What replaced it was a kind of "gentleness".

This time, Ji Jingqiu also wanted to go deep into the dark sea, hoping to explore some source or essential things.

I don’t know how long I’ve been gone.

Ji Jingqiu stopped.

He saw the true face of the previous red clouds and colorful light.

The former is a broken blood moon.

The latter is accompanied by the sound of rushing river. Behind the cracked sky, a long river is rushing endlessly. I don’t know whether it is time or fate, reflecting the colorful light and illuminating the "vastness" under the dark night.

Ji Jingqiu was stunned. He never expected that what he would see after reaching the end would be this.

In the pitch-black night, a huge mountain range stretched across the sky, much wider and more magnificent than what he had seen that year, and as deep as the starry sky.

Wuwang Mountain.

To be precise, it is the inverted Wuwang Mountain.

He stood below, looked up at the inverted Wuwang Mountain, and saw the scene that he had not seen when he walked to the foot of the mountain that year.

Was it Wuwang Mountain that summoned him here?
Although he had heard that Wuwang Mountain and Youhai were almost two sides of the same coin and that this was reflected in the Imperial Heaven, Ji Jingqiu had never found Wuwang Mountain in Youhai.

"...Seriously, have you ever found Wuwangshan's true form in the Nether Sea before?"

Hila asked in a low voice, showing rare emotionlessness.

Wu Zhou did not answer.

But the answer seems self-evident.

His eyes flickered, and finally returned to silence. After a long time, he sighed softly, as if he had admitted defeat in an invisible battle of the great way, and his expression returned to normal.

Ji Jingqiu stood alone at the foot of the mountain for a long time without communicating with Hela and the others. He looked at the "sinking" Wuwang Mountain and gradually became distracted.

Wuwang Mountain at the end of the ancient road is mostly shrouded in fog.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu, standing under the upside-down mountain, clearly saw a mountain standing on the top of the mountain...

temple?

Dull and dilapidated, buried in dust.

When Ji Jingqiu came to his senses, his Heart Moon Seal established some kind of connection with the Dark Sea, and his Taoist power that had been suppressed by the rules of this place quickly recovered.

He tried to approach the upside-down mountain, but when he found that he could not get close, he changed his mind and tried several methods, but neither the Bodhi tree nor the Heart Moon could get close.

Until he lit up the new light of wisdom.

He circulated his own great way, evolving the supreme mysteries of the Buddha's lineage, illuminating his body and mind with the light of wisdom, making him brilliant from the inside out.

At this moment, although he still couldn't get close, he saw something deeper.

It seemed that he saw not only the present, but also the past and the future——

Everything is in extinction, myths are collapsing, the heaven and earth are decaying, gods and Buddhas are traveling far away, but in the end they also return to extinction, and everything becomes empty.

“Is this the future, or the past?”

"Or will all the sacred things, past and future, be dissipated?"

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself, thinking that this was most likely a thing of the past.

Because this wasn't the future he was supposed to be in.

Did Wuwangshan summon him here to warn him?

Ji Jingqiu slowly closed his eyes and sat on the ground.

He did not stop practicing his own Heavenly King Way, but continued to deduce. The Bodhi tree behind him took root silently, and soon connected the sky to the ground, truly posing as if it was supporting the sky.

His real body sat under the Bodhi tree and attained enlightenment.

The spiritual body walked out from behind him, brilliant and dazzling, accompanied by the sound of Zen chanting, illuminating the ten directions of the silent land. As soon as it appeared, it aroused a peaceful response from the surrounding dark sea.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu let his thoughts run wild, without restraining the ups and downs of his mind. He then traveled through the inner world as if his mind was wandering, and regarded the Deep Sea as if it were a Buddha land.

Just as Wu Zhou and others said, the Deep Sea is vast and boundless.

His spiritual body walked through the vast and cold ocean, as if on patrol. Wherever it went, the sky and the earth were bright.

The third realm of federal martial arts is called [Spiritual Wandering], which aims to travel around the world and capture the spiritual inspiration of heaven and earth.

But Ji Jingqiu felt that this state could perhaps be given a higher level of meaning.

If a warrior can travel through the dark sea in the third realm, it will be easier to refine his own divinity or capture spiritual inspiration.

The thought flashed through my mind.

Ji Jingqiu did not think deeply for the time being. He indulged his own mind, riding the wind in the void, with his heart moon illuminating the heaven and earth, looking for the last piece of the puzzle of the wonders of the avenue.

On the way, he unexpectedly encountered again the sword light that seemed to have cut down countless moons in the world.

This time, the sword light was like a curious baby, chasing behind him, swaying like a little tail.

If Ji Jingqiu's current state was not similar to enlightenment and his mind was not in a wonderful state, he would have broken out in a cold sweat.

This enlightenment lasted for a long time.

When Ji Jingqiu gradually woke up and emerged from the mysterious state, he found that he had returned to the foot of Wuwang Mountain without knowing when.

Around his spiritual body, a vast expanse of great road was outlined, which was perfectly integrated into the dark sea.

That was the dark sea and world that he measured with his spiritual wanderings.

It was dark and gloomy, but an upside-down mountain could be vaguely seen.

Afterwards, the outline of another universe appeared around his Taoist body, hazy mountains and rivers emerged, and stars were shining in the deep sky, as if the universe had really shrunk countless times.

This is the universe.

As Ji Jingqiu's spiritual body and Tao body merged.

The two avenue wonders also began to slowly blend together.

The result is a situation similar to that of subject and shadow.

An ancient cosmic galaxy was rising and falling around him. The chaos that created the world surged, surrounding him in the center. Below the chaos was a deep and dark shadow that seemed to lead to another world.

Ji Jingqiu did not stop there and continued to refine the wonders of the Great Dao.

This is only a rough wonder, and it has not yet completely merged with one's inner universe and the roots of the Tao.

As he integrated the [Beginning of the Yuan] and the projection of the inner world into the wonders one by one, this Taoist diagram was completed.

As the Bodhi tree supports a piece of pure land, the roots are rooted in the shadows, and the vast universe extends beyond the edge of the branches and leaves. A clear moon and sun are like divine birds between the branches.

And in the center of the Pure Land, it is still the old Heaven and Earth Dojo. Lotus flowers are blooming in the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, and the moonlight is like water and smoke, with indescribable indifference and etherealness, sprinkling endless essence...

This is both the manifestation of [the beginning of oneness] and the projection of the inner world.

You can even see the shadow of a god with a human head and a snake body at the edge of the pond, and a cold and majestic figure sitting cross-legged under the bamboo forest not far away.

Just when Ji Jingqiu was about to appreciate the wonders of the great way he had cultivated, a flash of sword light suddenly shot up into the sky and cut down the blood moon whose original body existed somewhere unknown.

Ji Jingqiu was stunned, only then did he realize that the sword light he had been looking for was actually right behind him!
At this moment, the sword light burst out, as thick as a galaxy, sweeping across and directly cutting down the blood moon, making Ji Jingqiu shudder.

This divine power is probably at least in the realm of True Saint?

Maybe more than that?
What Ji Jingqiu found most difficult to understand was that after the sword strike, the sword light did not seem to decrease at all, contrary to common sense, but became even stronger...

flaming?

It's like making a living by cutting the moon and eating the moon in the world!

After the sword cut down the blood moon, the sword light returned to its original shape, like a swimming fish, wandering in the dark sea, and then stared at Ji Jingqiu.

At this moment, it was as if a gaze with "bad intentions" swept across Ji Jingqiu's avenue of wonders and stared at the clear moon.

Ji Jingqiu's face turned dark, and he put away the wonder of the road without hesitation.

With a clear sword chant.

The sword light was like a swimming fish, circling around Ji Jingqiu, turning non-stop, as if urging Ji Jingqiu not to be too stingy.

Ji Jingqiu ignored him and looked up instead.

Behind the cut blood moon, a passage was revealed.

At this moment, someone is trying to come from behind the door!
