Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 354 Those Displaced People
Sure enough, you can please the older generation by catering to their preferences.

Ji Jingqiu was pondering the Explosive Deng Heart Sutra when he felt a powerful force of Dao pressing down on him. It had been restrained to some extent, but it still prevented him from moving.

"Why do I feel a trace of the Phoenix Blood Flower's aura on you? Boy, don't tell me you are the [Wutian] from the Holy Lake that day."

Di Luan stood up coldly, her red skirt trailing behind her.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but sigh. As expected, each of them was a fox that had lived for tens of millions of years. They couldn't hide anything and their faces could change at any time.

Di Luan looked at the young man in front of him and narrowed his eyes and said, "You really created a little monster. Is this the second He Donghuang?"

In her eyes, Ji Jingqiu at this moment really looked like a balloon that was about to burst.

That kind of Tao charm and vitality seemed almost tangible, overflowing from all his acupoints.

This is because I ate too much along the way.

Taoist Qinglian shook his head and said, "Simply speaking of the Great Heavenly Rank, He Donghuang was not as perverted as him back then."

"Which stop am I at?" Di Luan asked, "You must have eaten a lot of cards along the way, right?"

Taoist Qinglian smiled and said, "Everyone is just giving me face and showing support."

give face?
Ah.

When Di Luan thought of that scene, he couldn't help laughing.

A federal seed that each family had managed to remove in advance was actually forced by Qinglian to "fertilize" him based on an old debt of favor.

Only Qinglian can do such a thing.

In the upcoming battle of the universe, if all the disciples lose to this boy, who should be blamed?

"More than that." Di Luan smiled, "I heard that those people were very angry. Did you just blackmail them?"

Taoist Qinglian said indifferently: "Young people are ignorant and inevitably get angry when they speak. Those people are too narrow-minded."

"What did he say?" Di Luan looked at Ji Jingqiu.

"Actually, I'm trying to persuade the disciples of Tiandi Xuanmen not to go to the universe in the near future." Taoist Qinglian shook his head, feeling that Ji Jingqiu was a little aggrieved. "It's also for their own good. Otherwise, if they go, one will die. No matter how many disciples of Tiandi Xuanmen there are, they can't stop dying."

Di Luan could roughly guess what Ji Jingqiu said at that time, and his smile became more intense as he looked at him.

"I'll lend you your Emperor Flame to temper him this time." Qinglian glanced at Ji Jingqiu and also felt a headache.

He accidentally stuffed too much in, and it was hard to say whether the people behind him were not thinking of "stuffing" Ji Jingqiu to death.

If not handled properly, the foundation of the road will be damaged.

"Okay, I'll consider it as returning your favor." Di Luan agreed readily.

"Also, give me an answer, and I promise not to interfere with this catastrophe."

Di Luan waved his hand to send Ji Jingqiu away, stared at Taoist Qinglian, and said in a very resolute tone, without allowing any room for negotiation,
"Otherwise, there is still a Heavenly Lord in the Phoenix Blood Palace who can experience the calamity and reincarnate."

Taoist Qinglian sighed in his heart.

If the various True Saint Taoist temples want to interfere in the universe, in addition to the top-level combat forces, they must also be the strong men at the level of Heavenly Venerate who abandon their Taoist careers and voluntarily lower themselves to a level below that of Heavenly King.

If the various True Saint Dojos are willing to do this at all costs, then these people will become Ji Jingqiu's real enemies in the near future.

"You ask." Taoist Qinglian said.

"What exactly is the Yanhuang Federation?" Di Luan asked word by word, "Is it worth your bet on them?"

Taoist Qinglian fell silent.

His gaze passed Di Luan and looked towards the dark and empty space.

Ten thousand years seemed too short to them.

But for these "young and energetic" guys, it was too long ago, long enough to smooth out their edges and break their delusions.

In these ten thousand years——

Some people throw themselves into the cage voluntarily;

Some people bear the burden silently for ten thousand years;

Someone was walking alone in the darkness for a long, long time...

Qinglian raised his head, stared at Di Luan, and said calmly:

"This is the worst piece of land. Even if you search the entire world, you won't find a worse place than this. But it is on this worst piece of land that the most dazzling flower in this world blooms."

"The reason why I placed such a heavy bet has nothing to do with the territory or Dao affinity of the Yanhuang Federation. It has everything to do with 'people'."

"In my eyes, a small Yanhuang Federation, if not for the existence of the Four Demons, is almost as good as the heroes of the entire universe."

He suddenly paused and said with self-mockery: "Of course, if it weren't for the Four Demons, there would be no Yanhuang Federation today."

"It will be soon, Fellow Daoist Di Luan. You will soon meet some of those people."

Qinglian said to herself in her heart——

By then, you will know that if the time is not too short, this "countryside land" will be enough to subvert the structure of this area and let people all over the world know the prosperity of Yanhuang martial arts!

Emperor Luan frowned slowly.

She thought of many answers, but Qinglian's answer was not within her range of deduction.

The first is the worst place. What are the four demons coveting?
Second, a Yanhuang Federation is almost equal to the entire universe?
Either way, it's ridiculous.

……

……

night.

The autumn rain beats on the iron roof, and the autumn wind whirls fallen leaves through the streets.

Ke Pingluan walked hurriedly, looking a little tired, and his clothes were wet by the autumn rain.

This is a world somewhere in the Three Thousand Jambuvipas, where the civilization development is similar to that of the Federation. It is one of the coordinates given to him by his ancestors.

The level of civilization development here is very similar to that of the Federation ten thousand years ago, and martial arts are still in the initial stage of development.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the federal predecessor stayed here.

Ke Ping started his mischief several months earlier than Ji Jingqiu, and he has been busy ever since, without daring to stop for a moment.

There were four of them on this trip, and he and Qin Qingjue were responsible for finding the predecessors of the Federation.

Ji Anquan has the heaviest mission and needs to face those ancient gods directly.

Brother Ji is in the most danger!
Although there will be seniors to protect you, they are using themselves as bait and are always in danger and facing great crises.

Ke Pingluan sighed softly. Brother Ji must be in dire straits now, struggling to avoid being hunted down by warriors from all realms.

He walked quickly into the depths of the alley, and suddenly heard an old but powerful voice coming from the depths:
"...The realm of divine wandering after the Dao Seed is said to contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, in my opinion, the utilization of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is too low. Only one in ten can actually be utilized..."

"In my opinion, this state should be a combination of inside and outside. The inner cultivation of the Tao seeds is in harmony with the mind and takes root. The outer scenery is integrated with the body to refine the form. The inner and outer are united to form a spiritual form. Every move is the power of heaven and earth. Isn't this a hundred times stronger than accommodating spiritual energy?"

"Once the spiritual phase is achieved, the next step is the unity of heaven and man..."

"and many more--"

Another voice suddenly interrupted and questioned,

"Old man, you are fooling me again! The unity of heaven and man is a state of heaven and man, a key to the realization of the strongest people at the peak of the mind state. Do you have the nerve to let a warrior who has just reached the state of spiritual wandering to realize it?"

With a sneer, the old voice sounded again:

"Unity of man and nature?"

"The unity of the sacred fetus of the soul and heaven and earth is the unity of heaven and man."

"The perfect understanding of the Great Luo Heaven by a celestial being is also the 'unity of heaven and man'."

"Even if a Heavenly King is perfect and uses the innate calamity to refine the form of the Great Dao, it can still be regarded as 'the unity of heaven and man'."

"You little bastard, let me ask you, what is the unity of man and nature?"

Ke Pingluan's footsteps stopped at some point.

One leaf can tell you about autumn; a glimpse of a spot can reveal the whole picture.

He has now touched the edge of the celestial being. If it weren't for this trip, he would probably have already started to break through to the celestial being.

The talk about the wandering realm just now seemed absurd, but the subsequent talk about the unity of man and nature was not something that anyone could say.

At least, in this civilization where the mind is the most powerful and martial arts are still in their infancy, there shouldn't be such a strong person who can comment on the kings and the gods at will.

Ke Pingluan let out a sigh of relief, looking excited, he finally found this person.

He has found three predecessors on this trip, and this is the second to last one.

If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be Liu Huai, the White Ape Master who was ranked seventh in swordsmanship and eighth in boxing among the hundred meridians ten thousand years ago, and was known as the master of both boxing and swordsmanship!

The Taoist lineage left by this person later split into two factions, one called [Tianjian] and the other called [White Ape]. The former inherited the swordsmanship and the latter inherited the boxing skills.

The current [Tianjian Dojo] can be considered as his martial arts lineage left behind.

Ke Pingluan quickly followed the sound and found the source of the sound deep in the street.

It was a shabby martial arts school. At the door sat an old man with a straight back and a strong build, who looked like someone not someone to be trifled with.

The old man glanced at the other men. There was a group of boys and girls sitting in front of him, looking at the other men with vigilance.

"What? You little bastards are here to compete with me for students?" The old man said in a voice as rough as thunder. "Have you forgotten who taught you martial arts?"

The leading man immediately showed grief and anger on his face and said, "How dare you say that! It is because of you that I have been stuck in the Divine Wandering Realm until now and have been unable to break through!"

The old man looked disdainful and said, "You are such a poor talent, who can you blame? Did I ever tell you that this is not the path you should take?"

The flat-headed man said angrily: "I was considered a genius in our area back then, how come you think I have such poor talent?"

"That's what a frog in a well does." The old man said calmly, "It took you three years to climb from body forging to Dao seed, and ten years to break through to the peak of Dao seed, and you still haven't cultivated your true form. You still have the nerve to mention the word talent to me?"

"Isn't this fast enough?!" the flat-headed man said angrily, and the people behind him nodded in agreement.

The old man tilted his head, saying with disdain, "We are talking different languages, but we are talking different things."

"I don't care. I must take these children away. You must not lead them astray!" said the man with the flat head resolutely.

The old man twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "If you, a bastard, didn't know how to respect your elders, I would have smashed your head today."

The old man raised his head slowly and said, "Okay, take these little bastards away. I have something to go out for."

After saying that, he looked at Ke Pingluan who was walking over and said with a smile:

"What's your last name, kid?"

Only then did everyone notice Ke Pingluan who had appeared behind them at some point, and the middle-aged man in the lead looked visibly solemn.

Ke Pingluan clasped his fists and saluted, saying in a deep voice: "My surname is Ke, and my name is Pingluan!"

"Quit the rebellion." The old man nodded and said calmly, "It's a good sign."

The man who was blocking the road suddenly said in a deep voice: "My friend, I wonder..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt dizzy and heard a familiar voice:

"You bastard, do you really think I've been joking with you all these years? Remember what I taught you well, and when you meet a warrior who is a hundred or a thousand times better than you, pass it on to him."

When the man returned to normal, he was shocked to find that he and the people around him were already in another corner of the city.

"Shit, boss, what's going on?" the younger brother behind him said in surprise, feeling like he was dreaming.

The flat-headed man was stunned for a long time before he murmured, "The old man is not lying, right?"

……

"Come on, chat with me." The old man walked in front, looking a little disappointed, "I haven't contacted the Federation for a long time."

Ke Pingluan quickly followed.

He knew clearly that these predecessors had never contacted the Federation in the past ten thousand years in order to avoid exposing their whereabouts and being found by certain people through aspects such as fate and destiny.

"What the senior said before was——"

"Some realm adjustments."

The old man said lightly,

"The first five realms of heaven and man were originally set by us together back then. They are not perfect, but can only be said to be 'suitable'."

"By the way, how is my Dao vein in the Federation?"

The old man learned from Ke Pingluan that his own Taoist lineage was divided into two. Among them, the Taoist lineage named Tianjian had a new Tianwang master rising up not long after he left. The old man nodded slightly.

Upon hearing that this young man later died in the struggle between Tianlu and the four demons, the old man's expression did not change. He just remained calm and nodded.

Ke Pingluan reported to the senior in a low voice the changes that had taken place in the Federation over the past ten thousand years.

"Dead?" The old man tilted his head, "Who did you say was dead?"

Ke Pingluan hesitated and said, "It's He Shuai and Mu Shuai."

The old man laughed sarcastically and said, "The one who deserved to die the most didn't die, but all the ones who didn't deserve to die died."

Ke Pingluan smiled bitterly. He had followed the instructions of his ancestors and tried his best to avoid mentioning a certain sage. "I wonder what realm you are in now?" Ke Pingluan asked in a low voice.

The old man with white eyebrows was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed at himself and said:
"After ten thousand years of hard training, I am only a Heavenly Venerable, not even one ten-thousandth of those seven people. I can't break through the barrier of Dao Ancestor. In this case, I am nothing but a waste. I have disappointed all my old friends."

Ke Pingluan took a deep breath and felt excited. This person was indeed a Heavenly Lord!

Even the Heavenly Venerable who has counted all three thousand Jambuvipas, surpassed the Heavenly Kings, and stepped into the beginning of the Eight Realms of Immortality is still an absolutely powerful being!
In the last era, those superior gods who overlooked the heaven and earth and ruled over the boundless realms were only of this level.

But the old man seemed dissatisfied with this situation where he was better than the worst but not as good as the best and was far from being able to turn the tide.

"Among us old guys, some took the wrong path early on, and it is difficult to correct it later. Either they reincarnate and cultivate again, or they stay in front of the Heavenly Venerable forever. There are only one or two out of ten people like me."

"I was lucky that year and was selected as a 'seed' by coach Mu, but now, I still disappoint coach Mu."

The old man's eyes were a little dim.

Ke Pingluan adjusted his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Senior, enough! It's enough!"

According to what our ancestors said, it would be enough if we could find a few Heavenly Lords on this trip.

So far, he has searched for seven predecessors, but only found three of them. The other four are either dead or missing.

All the people found so far have entered the realm of Heavenly Venerate, which has satisfied the needs of our ancestors.

The old man did not comment on Ke Pingluan's words "enough".

Because those people who were able to survive back then had more than one life on their shoulders. For example, if you spread it out evenly, they had the "destiny" of at least four or five old friends on their shoulders.

In this case, how can one Heavenly Lord be enough?
At least four or five should be achieved.

He led Ke Pingluan from the deep streets to the outside of the city and climbed up a mountain. The two asked and answered questions, and their conversation gradually lasted from the evening to the early morning of the next day.

On the top of the mountain, facing the sunrise, the old man suddenly asked Ke Pingluan:
"Do you know how dazzling He Donghuang was in our eyes back then?"

Ke Pingluan subconsciously thought of Ji Jingqiu. Before he could answer, he saw the red sun rising in front of him. The bright sunlight poured down like an ocean, dispelling the darkness between heaven and earth.

He heard the old man's murmur, which contained reluctance and admiration:
"The rising sun is so magnificent and majestic... How could such a guy die?"

"Go ahead, the boy from the Ke family, White Ape Lord Liu Huai, has received the military order from the four marshals."

……

This day.

Qin Qingjue walked into a temple.

There is an old monk meditating inside.

He slowly stood up, picked up the dusty tin staff standing nearby, and looked back at the Buddha in his heart that had stood there for thousands of years, immortal and incorruptible.

The Buddha sang.

Smile.

A diamond seed in my heart finally blossomed into a pair of white lotuses.

……

Glazed sky.

In the towering Taoist palace that stood on the top of this world thousands of years ago, there sat a young man wearing a cassock and a Taoist hat, drinking calmly with the guests.

I don’t know when.

The guests below looked up.

Suddenly, I was surprised to find that this Liuli Tianzun, who rose to prominence ten thousand years ago and achieved enlightenment in just a few thousand years and rose rapidly to the top, was, for some reason, staring blankly outside the hall with tears in his eyes.

He raised his hand to wipe away his tears and murmured, "After being away from home for thousands of years, how homesick I feel? Is it the lake or the sea?"

Glass?

It's nothing more than wandering around and traveling far away from home.

……

Chongxiao Palace.

As a true holy temple that has been hidden from the world for a long time, it has not participated in any conflicts or disagreements among the three thousand Jambuvipas, let alone the vast universe. It has its own cycle within the world, with saints and ancestors above and all living beings below.

Even Taoist Qinglian, who took Ji Jingqiu to lobby various places, did not include this place in his plans.

First, it is difficult to find the door, and second, there is no need to look for it.

Recently, this world, which had been peaceful for countless thousands of years and had almost become a pure land, was in turmoil because of one person.

Countless disciples, celestial beings, and heavenly kings, as well as those few heavenly masters, were either nervous or silently looking at the gate of the Taoist palace deep in the holy land.

A nun was kneeling silently at the entrance of the Saint's Palace, with both knees prostrated on the ground.

Kneeling is to express gratitude to the teacher which can never be repaid in this lifetime.

for a long time.

A long, desolate sigh came from the depths of the Taoist Palace:

"Fool, fool... Is it true that your master can't keep you here?"

The nun just kowtowed.

……

A romantic world that stays forever in late spring, with lush grass and singing birds.

This is Huayang Heaven, one of the three thousand worlds. There is a Taoist sect in it called Xinzhai Palace.

Behind the ancestral hall on the top of the mountain, there is a middle-aged Taoist priest who calls himself "Xinzhai Jushi". He lives here all year round to practice and instruct his disciples.

In the eyes of the surrounding world's forces, this palace master is extremely mysterious. Although he has achieved the status of Heavenly Venerate, he remains noncompetitive and calm, and occasionally even opens his doors to preach to all realms.

Today, this "old" palace master, who seems to be thousands of years old in the eyes of others, called in several of his disciples.

"Master, everything has been arranged." The eldest disciple Cangyou said in a deep voice. He looked even older than he did. He had entered the realm of Heavenly King Grandmaster about two thousand years ago.

"Ah."

A middle-aged man in Taoist robes had a calm expression as he stood in front of a cliff with a line of words written on it.

He turned around, looked at the disciples kneeling in front of him, and said calmly:

"From today on, Cangyou will take over the position of the Palace Master of Xinzhai Palace. After I leave, you must help each other. If you are in trouble in the future, you can ask for help from the Yanhuang Federation. For the sake of your master, they will always take care of it."

The youngest woman raised her hand, tears welling up in her eyes as she said, "Master, can't you not leave?"

Gao Xiu smiled and said, "It is a good thing that your teacher has returned to his homeland with wealth and honor. Why are you crying?"

The eldest disciple Cang You took a deep breath, suppressed his trembling body, bowed and said: "Disciple will temporarily take over the position of acting palace master, and wait for your return here."

Gao Xiu smiled and nodded: "If you are willing to wait, then wait. In this life, people always have to have some hope. Otherwise, life will be too tiring and too difficult, and it will be easy to want to die."

Cangyou moved his lips, as if he wanted to ask his master what he had been looking forward to all these years. Was it to return to his homeland?

But in the end, he still failed to ask.

Gao Xiu stretched out his hand and gently brushed across the inscription written on the stone wall thousands of years ago:

From then on, the smoke and dust disappeared, the green mountains were like indigo and the grass was like smoke.

Ten thousand years later, it is still late spring. Are you all well?

……

A dark place.

He has been in a daze for thousands of years, neither human nor ghost, and has tortured himself into a "corpse" that is no longer in human form.

A man stood up from the corpse in a trance, with disheveled hair, like a ghost, and kept muttering to himself:

"who I am……"

"who I am……"

"who am I?"

As he asked himself these countless questions, his facial expression kept changing, and finally stopped at that of a middle-aged man.

In an instant.

His confused eyes showed clarity and brightness, as if a huge sun was illuminating the underworld.

He just said "I am Qi Xuantian, the master of spears!" and then laughed heartily, with his back arched like a majestic mountain.

He looked down at his decaying body and smiled.

This body is a burden to me, so I should abandon it and go alone!

This day.

The ripples of the Great Dao in the Three Thousand Jambuvipas are generated without wind, and the Great Dao’s shape is far-reaching, announcing to all sentient beings in the world—

Here, someone has proven himself to be the Supreme God!
……

The Mysterious Gate of Heaven and Earth.

Suddenly, an imperial decree came from the Saint's residence, ordering [Fanzhou Tianzun] to sever his dao career and surrender himself to the Heavenly King, in preparation for the upcoming war...

But what is strange is that this great figure in the Taoist temple who attained the Tao seven thousand years ago disappeared without a trace at some point. Even the True Saint Xuan Chongyang who came forward in person was unable to figure out his whereabouts.

……

For the King of Heaven, a complete inner world must be one where the sun and the moon come together.

In the Three Thousand Jambuvipas, there are many planes of the world where the sun and the moon are just projections. Although their essence is extremely high, it still cannot change the fact that they are projections.

And since it is a projection, what is the origin?
Nature is the universe.

Deep in the vast void, near the Burial Sea.

A figure was strolling in the plane world that had just collapsed, allowing the great power of the collapse of various great ways to hit his body like waves, but he was unharmed.

The Taoist body seems to last forever and can never be destroyed.

If Ji Jingqiu were here, he might be able to recognize this person.

Formerly ranked number six on the Eternal Monument, Yi Tianpeng, who was known to have an unrivaled physical body in the Divine Realm.

He suddenly stopped in front of a vast starry sky.

During these years, he had been walking on the edge of the Dark Sea all year round, tempering his body with the help of the aftermath of the destruction of the worlds that were crushed by the Dark Sea and on the verge of destruction.

It was the same today.

but……

"Am I remembering it wrong?"

Yi Tianpeng looked at the world ahead and doubted himself.

"That's not right. I have marked it. This realm will be destroyed today."

A world that he had marked as about to be destroyed, but at this moment, it showed no signs of collapse and was instead unusually stable.

Just when he was falling into self-doubt.

The space and stars in the world ahead suddenly began to tremble, like a painting being gently shaken, and finally it was discovered that it was a wide robe.

The stars in the sky and the vast deep space all turned into a corner of the battle robe.

Immediately afterwards, two men slowly walked out from the depths of the void.

The one who lagged behind was a young man who was just an ordinary person.

The handsome man walking in front, wearing a battle robe, stretched and yawned, looking as lazy as the setting sun.

But in Yi Tianpeng's eyes, it was a brilliant and dazzling, burning sun that occupied his entire field of vision!
It is impossible to describe the brilliance of the light at this moment, it is like the gathering of billions of suns, brilliant and majestic, illuminating the heavens and the earth, and all spirits look up to it!
The bright sun and the majestic fire virtue.

……

……

Yanhuang Federation.

Four guardian stars.

The Sifang Shenzhu Temple.

The disciple from the Lan family knelt in front of the temple, looking confused, and asked devoutly:

"Four Lord Gods, could it be that our Lan family's inherited magical power was really the secret that our ancestors stole from the Tianyang Palace?"

Four figures stood in front of the young man at some point, in the center of the temple, but they were not there to see him.

Only Li Shoucheng lowered his head and told him calmly:

"When your ancestor comes back, he will tell you personally."
