Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 367: The Great Dao is not divided into high and low, and the merits and virtues are descended

"Have you ever faced a Transcendent?!"

Before Ji Jingqiu could ask any questions, the "protectors" could no longer hold back.

Mu Shitian did not avoid them at all in what he said today. To be honest, this made them feel even heavier in their hearts.

Because this most likely means that this guy has no intention of letting them leave!

But what the other party said at this moment completely touched their nerves. The reason they rushed into this place was not just for a glimmer of hope of transcendence?
"What was the result of your discussion with the Transcendent One?" The True Saint Ku Qing could not help but ask.

Mu Shitian shook his head: "The Great Dao has no distinction between high and low."

Everyone looked more solemn than ever before.

This statement can be interpreted in two ways.

The first is the most superficial one, where Mu Shitian points out that the great ways run parallel to each other and there should be no distinction between high and low;

The second one implies that what Mu Shitian follows is the true great way, and he dares to stand shoulder to shoulder with even a transcendent person in front of him.

The minds of the powerful beings from all realms were shaken for a moment, just like the ups and downs of the sea of ​​suffering before them, which was difficult to suppress.

They didn't know much about Mu Shitian, but the fact that he had been sitting here silently for thousands of years and suppressing the sea of ​​suffering for all living beings was enough to show that he was definitely not a person who sought fame.

Ji Jingqiu was also shocked.

Master Mu has already come into contact with a powerful person at the transcendent level?

But then he thought about it.

Not to mention the distant past, a person who transcended in the past is still building a nest and taking a bath in his inner world.

All four demons can be considered as transcendent beings in the past.

"Master Mu, what is the scenery outside the universe?" Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked.

Wood Release Heavenly Dao:

"With the great universe as the center and the three thousand worlds as its appendages, this can form a realm."

"Countless realms sink and float above the sea of ​​suffering, which is the [Sea of ​​Realms]."

"Also, although Transcendents are rare, if it weren't for the appearance of the Nether Sea and the Sea of ​​Bitterness of All Worlds, our realm would have at least two Transcendents among the five pillars."

"If Donghuang had not had the four demons blocking his way, it would only be a matter of time before he could ascend to the higher realms."

"There are many ways to achieve transcendence. You have to find the one that suits you best. The ways we two use can only provide you with a reference."

"I heard from Hela that Master He used force to prove his truth in the past, and was almost successful?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

Mu Shitian nodded: "Donghuang's conjecture is correct. To prove the eternity of the Tao with force is a simple and easy way. There is nothing wrong with this way, but Donghuang was too eager back then, did not accumulate enough experience, and encountered four demons blocking his way."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly thought, could the great terror at the source of the long river of time be of a transcendent level?
With Master He's power of Tao, and under the condition of a long period of time of harmony with Tao, his peak combat power might be able to catch up and surpass the Tao, right?
But he is still trapped at the source of the long river and it is rare to be sober!
The hypothesis proposed by Master Mu earlier was also shocking enough.

In a sense, the Eye of the Sea of ​​Bitterness of All Worlds is the source of all the troubles in this world.

The Dark Sea followed the footsteps of the Bitter Sea and invaded this realm, while the Four Demons followed the Dark Sea.

Then why does the Eye of the Sea of ​​Bitterness of All Worlds appear only in this realm?
In addition, the transcendents outside this realm are unwilling to interfere in this matter because

Afterwards, Mu Shitian began to guide Ji Jingqiu on his future path.

"The so-called magical power is one's own understanding of the Great Dao. Since you have reached the level of Heavenly King, there is no need to learn ordinary magical powers. The Tathagata Palm is just an evolution of my past Great Dao. You can just refer to it..."

"The fifth level of Heavenly King is the accumulation of Dao power. If the accumulation is enough, one can break through to the fifth level overnight. The real key to this realm is to open up and perfect one's own Dao, from the virtual to the real, and to be embedded in the operation of heaven and earth."

"Although you have the supreme wisdom light accompanying you, your accumulation is still insufficient. You should learn from Donghuang in this regard. Don't rush for success. It's better to go slower."

Having said this, Mu Shitian pondered for a moment and asked:
"How long do you think it will take you to break through to the Heavenly King level?"

This is related to the development of one's own avenue, and Ji Jingqiu cannot predict it accurately.

"…Twenty years?"

If things could be peaceful from now on, he wouldn't mind spending more time on the Avenue of Illusion.

Mu Shitian nodded:
"Among the seven of us in the past, if we only talk about opening the way and breaking through to the Heavenly King level, Tianxing took the shortest time, twenty-five years, Donghuang took thirty-three years, and the four Tianfengs took thirty to forty years. I was relatively stupid, so it took me the longest time."

"You have merits and virtues, and God has favored you. You have a great chance of breaking through within 20 years. I will give you a helping hand so that you can practice with peace of mind from now on."

"After today, within twenty years, the universe will not allow the kings of the realms to enter. You can practice with peace of mind."

Hearing this, Ji Jingqiu was stunned and said, "Master Mu, can you still interfere with the operation of the universe's destiny?"

Originally, the universe only allowed the existence of creatures below the level of Heavenly Kings, and warriors from all realms were restricted to those below the level of Heavenly Kings when entering the universe.

And the great cosmic turmoil happened recently.

As the underlying rules loosen, this restriction will be removed, and all forces will truly dominate the universe.

However, Master Mu's words directly added another twenty years of confinement to the forces in all realms!
Mu Shitian said calmly:

"We have done so much, and we deserve some rewards. This is only natural."

"For the next twenty years, you can stay in the Federation and practice with peace of mind."

"The only pity is that Tianxing took away Wu Zhou's Heavenly Demon Throne."

When mentioning this, Mu Shitian couldn't help but reveal some regret:

"Back then, Wu Zhou proposed to me that he wanted to exchange Dao with me for ten thousand years, but I refused. I thought that if I could seize his throne this time, both you and I could observe Dao."

Ji Jingqiu blinked and revealed that there was a little Wu Zhou in his inner world.

Mu Shitian was also a little surprised. The inner world involved a person's secret foundation, and he did not look at it too carefully. He did not expect that in addition to Hila, Ji Jingqiu also suppressed Wu Zhou's spiritual power.

Thinking that fellow Daoist Wu Zhou might not have much chance to use his power in the future, Mu Shitian smiled and chanted a Buddhist chant, then "borrowed" a strong divinity from Wu Zhou.

Just as he was about to enter Ji Jingqiu's inner world, he suddenly heard the voice coming from Wu Zhou again.

After considering for a moment, Mu Shitian looked at the "descendant of the Buddha" in front of him and finally agreed to Wu Zhou's request.

Ji Jingqiu had no idea what Master Mu had done, but he could clearly feel that the little Wu Zhou in his body was completely different from before.

In terms of his status alone, he had improved significantly, and his expression no longer showed his previous fear. Instead, he stood with his arms folded, sneering at Hela beside the lotus pond. Then, he was glanced at by the latter and whisked away out of the Pure Land with a tail.

Ignoring the two people's stunning battle in the past, Ji Jingqiu took the initiative to ask:

"Master Mu said earlier that the Federation had three major gains this time. What was the last one?"

Mu Shitian said nothing, just turned his head to look.

Just now.

Invisible ripples began to spread slowly between heaven and earth and the universe. This was particularly dazzling and eye-catching in the eyes of Ji Jingqiu, who was in a state of meditation with the help of heaven's blessing.

Mu Shitian and Ji Jingqiu looked up together.

The stars shine brightly all over the universe. They are all the dojos of the ancient gods in the past, illuminating the dark and deep starry sky of the universe.

"The first turbulence in the underlying rules of the universe will occur today."

"The five pillars are also returning, as are many ancient gods. However, most of them will not return to the universe, but will go to the 'world' they once opened up."

"I've heard of it before." Ji Jingqiu nodded.

Mu Shitian said softly:

"That continent is connected to the Kingdom of God with five pillars. If you are interested in the future, you can go there through the Cangqing lineage. You may meet people from outside the world by then."

"It doesn't matter if you're not interested. With the help of the Four Demons, the training conditions in the Federation won't necessarily be worse than outside."

"By the way, the Five Pillars will most likely hold a grand feast for all races, inviting all to demonstrate martial arts and discuss the Dao. You can go there in my name in the future. I think the families will treat you with courtesy. Even if someone dislikes me, Mu Shitian, they will not embarrass you at this juncture."

Ji Jingqiu nodded in agreement. He felt that Master Mu’s soul was currently “silent”.

The sound of the tide echoing between heaven and earth became more and more powerful. This was the sea of ​​suffering rising. Even with the help of strong people from all realms, Master Mu needed to suppress it with all his strength.

At this time.

Suddenly, several figures broke into the Four Guardian Stars, and one of them had met Ji Jingqiu several times.

When Mu Shitian's clone saw this, he did not look surprised. He put his hands together and said:
"Fellow Daoist Wanjie, I haven't seen you for many years. Are you doing well?"

Ji Jingqiu looked at this thick-skinned Saint Wanjie and thought that it was probably not good.

This young saint, who originally had delicate features and brows, now had disheveled hair, tattered armor, and only half of the halberd was left in his hand. His breathing was heavy, and it was obvious that he could no longer control his body, body, and the world.

He looked at Mu Shitian and the other two with a gloomy gaze, and then his expression changed drastically in front of the bitter aura that filled the world.

"This is... the Sea of ​​Bitterness?!"

Mu Shitian smiled and said, "This is the place that Daoist Wanjie has been searching for. Daoist Wanjie has finally found what he wanted. Congratulations."

For a moment, Daoyi's face was extremely ugly, and he felt sick in his chest. "Daoyi, what's going on? Is this the chance of transcendence you mentioned?"

One of the allies behind him immediately shouted in a low voice.

When they were forced into this world by He Donghuang, they realized something was wrong, but now faced with the aura of the sea of ​​bitterness, they could no longer hold back.

The opportunity mentioned by Daoyi is the sea of ​​suffering in all the worlds? !

Just this thing, what on earth are the four demons fighting over? !

Mu Shitian cordially invites all saints to rule the Buddhist kingdom and fight against the sufferings of the world together.

Witness this scene.

Ji Jingqiu was in a state of confusion.

Even though the three thousand Jambudvipa did not participate in this battle and basically just watched the whole process, it was destined to cause great turmoil.

Not to mention the outside world, there are more than one True Saint among the powerful people from various realms who have entered the Four Guardian Stars actively or passively, but they will all stay here to suppress the sea of ​​suffering in all the worlds together with Master Mu.

This alone will bring about huge turmoil and impact, and shock the three thousand worlds of Jambu.

They didn't know how many forces would target the Yanhuang Federation from now on, wishing to drink its blood and eat its flesh. However, they were forced to "put on a smile" because their ancestor was in their hands.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be thinking about something. No wonder Master Mu had said before that the saints had taken the initiative to stay here and help him suppress the sea of ​​suffering.

When the news got out, it at least saved the face of the powers, and made it impossible for the forces behind them to come up with high-sounding reasons to attack the Federation, and they even had to take the initiative to defend it.

As the new guardian took his seat, Master Mu and Ji Jingqiu gave their final instructions:

"Remember, the day the sea of ​​suffering appears in the world is the day when your Tao fruit is fully achieved."

"After this trip, you will go to the temple of East 3 Brilliant Star to meet a person on my behalf and tell him that the past is over and dead. If he still can't let go, and if he really wants to be jealous of something, then be jealous of Tianxing."

When Ji Jingqiu heard the name spoken by Master Mu, his pupils shrank slightly.

He had heard this name more than once.

Li Yingtian from the Li family.

……

Before leaving the Four Guardians.

Ji Jingqiu took one last look at the world, then turned around and stepped into the universe.

A golden bird of prey came into view. It was a huge golden-winged roc, and its wings seemed to hold up the starry sky.

It glanced at Ji Jingqiu, and also took a last look at Mu Shitian in the Four Guardian Stars. It let out a long howl as if saying goodbye, turned around and soared into the sky. Divine light shot up into the sky, breaking through the shackles of the universe and returning to the worlds.

Ji Jingqiu watched the senior leave without trying to keep him. This person was not in Master Mu's plan, and it was obvious that he was allowed to go or stay.

He looked up and saw that Master He's figure was still standing in the starry sky, while the strong men from all realms had all dispersed.

The Anti-Ten Thousand Spirits Array did not dissipate, but disappeared into the federal territory.

Everyone in the Federation was well protected by the ancestors in this battle.

Ji Jingqiu took one step to the East 3 Huang Star and walked into the final temple of the four gods.

A young figure had his back to him, kneeling in front of four collapsed statues.

And the last remnants of the Federation Shinto were right in front of him.

As long as you take it, you will be able to reach the sky in one step and protect countless people of the Federation from the threat of the dark sea.

This is also cutting off one's own future. From now on, one will be trapped on the throne of God for the rest of his life, swept away by the faith and wishes of all spirits, and gradually follow the old path of his ancestors.

He is the son of the Li family and also the carefully nurtured son of God.

Today it is today.

He finally understood that sentence——

"Yingtian, are you willing to become the new god of the Yanhuang Federation?"

From whom.

Li Yingtian turned around, clenched his palms, and allowed the last remnants of the Federal Shinto to flow into his body.

Under the influence of all his faith and wishes, his flesh and blood were melting away bit by bit. The severe pain came not only from his body, but also from the endless torture of his soul.

How can there be no price and no transformation from a human to a god? !

Soon, Li Yingtian became emaciated!

Only you know the pain.

In Ji Jingqiu's inner world.

Xiao Wu Zhou, who had finally crawled back from the Pure Land, gritted his teeth and said coldly:
"What a Ji Tianxing! He is cruel to himself and even crueler to his own people! Ji Jingqiu, sooner or later he will put a price on you and sell you for a good price!"

This time, Hela did not hit him, but nodded slightly, as if they had reached a consensus on the matter.

Looking at Li Yingtian in front of him, who was completing the transformation from human to god without even uttering a single wail, Ji Jingqiu sighed in his heart.

He had already learned what had happened from Master Mu.

Some rumors in the Federation were true. Li Yingtian was indeed gifted and had been able to travel deep into the sea of ​​his mind since he was young. That was why he was spotted by Ji Shuai, who chose him to be the only successor of the Federation's Shinto in the future.

Now that the four gods and twelve gods are gone and the federal Shinto has collapsed, Li Yingtian is the last person to shoulder the responsibility.

He will help the Federation weather the coming turbulent period.

I do not know how long it has been.

The emaciated young man's bones slowly grew flesh, and his brilliant divinity gushed out like a spring, taking over the last remnants of Shinto in the Federation.

Li Yingtian seemed to see through Ji Jingqiu's intention, and a thought echoed in the latter's heart.

"Brother Ji, I already know everything, no problem."

Ji Jingqiu bowed silently. Only he himself knew the hardships and pains contained in the two words "no problem".

"If you have any problems in the future, you can contact me." Ji Jingqiu said softly, and then stopped disturbing Li Yingtian's path to deification.

He walked out of the temple.

Standing above the East 3 Brilliant Star, overlooking the world, feeling the vast and boiling thoughts surging in the federal territory.

He could also feel the murderous intent of the great demon that was sealed under the territory. Even through the seal, he felt as if he was on the edge of a sword.

If they can use this as a whetstone, both he and Qingzhu will benefit greatly.

far away.

He Donghuang looked back.

Nod slightly.

Then he turned around and stepped into the long river of time.

There are supreme beings from all realms between heaven and earth, but no one dares to take action anymore.

Just because of this moment.

All kinds of mysterious and yellow meritorious auras dropped from the sky, like true dragons of merit, noble and lofty, pouring into the federal territory, making the strong people from all realms envious.

Under the instruction of Master Mu, Ji Jingqiu let go of all the merits and virtues, and the Buddha's light appeared in the acupoints throughout his body.

In it, a layer of thick and dark yellow Buddha light expanded infinitely, and in an instant it gave birth to a holy artifact of the Great Dao, and a dark yellow tower of merit was floating on it.

One floor, two floors, three floors...

In a short period of time, the tower rose from the ground and was nine stories high, suppressing fate and destiny, and stabilizing the state of meditation and forgetfulness that Ji Jingqiu had just entered with the help of the will of the universe.

Ji Jingqiu led the energy of merit and virtue to flow into the lotus pond in the inner world. Soon, the water in the pond took on the color of colored glaze, with all five virtues present, especially merit and virtue!
The rippling water is filled with a sense of extraordinary perfection. Although it is clearly created by human factors, it has a certain innate aura.

Looking at the already formed Eight Treasures Merit Pool, Ji Jingqiu's mind moved, and more than ten true spirits immediately fell into the pool. The water in the pool then caused ripples, nurturing these true spirits in it, slowly nourishing and completing them.

at the same time.

The stars in the sky are brighter than ever before, and one star after another is shifting, leaving brilliant traces in the starry sky, marking the return of ancient beings.

The future universe will be far more lively than in the past.

Ji Jingqiu looked up at the boundless sea of ​​stars. Master Mu gave him a thousand years.

"A thousand years……"

"A thousand years is too long, we must seize the day."
