Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 395: The Source of Mythology, a Trip to the Moon Palace
"You ask me? Aren't you and Youhai the most compatible? Why didn't it tell you?"

Hela sneered.
"Then why didn't you just ask Chaoge directly?"

"Oh, I remember now. When you 'passed by' Qing Liulitian, it seemed that you tricked away a core disciple of a high level?"

"The girl's attitude towards Ji Jingqiu just now was so rude. It's hard to say that it wasn't a conflict of cause and effect."

Wu Zhou said calmly, "She is entangled in karma and cursed by the origin of heaven and earth. She is seeking her own death. What does it have to do with me?"

Hela scoffed.

"So, what is the origin of the myth?" Ji Jingqiu interrupted the two politely.

"You should pay attention to the other side of the boundary. As expected..."

Seeing that Wu Zhou was about to change the subject, he suppressed him in time and then looked at Lajiang.

As for the reason, what reason is needed to suppress the demon?
Hela tutted.

This guy was becoming more and more rude to them.

He'd better be able to catch up with them within a thousand years, otherwise when her true form comes out, she won't care about right or wrong.

“Aren’t you curious about who was the first person in the world to practice cultivation?” Hela asked directly.

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment, then asked seriously, "Are you talking about my predecessor, the first Taoist ancestor in the world?"

Hela twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "You are the senior?"
She didn't argue with this guy about shamelessness, and went straight to the point:
"We have always believed that the reason why the Dark Sea wanders around is that it is looking for a certain place. Of course, what you said not long ago also makes sense now. The Dark Sea is still responding to the ups and downs of the thoughts of all living beings..."

"Let's get back to the point. We believe this place is the [Original Land], the beginning of all things, and the source of all myths."

"But Chaoge's statement completely overturned our previous speculation..."

Ji Jingqiu pondered and said, "Are you also looking for this place?"

“Of course.” Hela said calmly, “The original place is the source of all laws and paths. Perhaps there is a true method of transcendence suitable for everyone engraved there. Everyone is looking for it.”

"How do you determine that Chaoge's statement must be correct?"

"We have not concluded, only reasonable suspicion."

Hela sighed softly.
"Although Chaoge is trying the most foolish way to attain enlightenment, this path can indeed lead to a true state of transcendence."

"Although he failed, he still temporarily entered this realm. Theoretically, he, who is on the verge of death, can see more and more 'real' images than a normal transcendent."

Ji Jingqiu was speechless. It sounded like this person, although he was about to die, had a lot of buffs on him. In some aspects, he even surpassed the real transcendents.

"Whether the Dark Sea is the original place or not, you are not yet capable of exploring it. What you should consider now is the realm on the other side of the passage."

Hela reminded,
"If it is true as we inferred, Chaoge tried to make the ultimate leap into transcendence, but failed in the end, and is now stuck at a point where he is dying but not dying, then the realm he is in has been exposed in the vast sea of ​​realms."

"This situation is not an isolated case in the Boundary Sea. Some people call it 'whale fall', which will attract giants from all over the Boundary Sea to hunt and share the food."

"A whale falls?" Ji Jingqiu murmured, "When a whale falls, all things come to life?"

"Chaoge asked you to go, maybe there really is an opportunity for you."

Looking at the suppressed Wu Zhou, Hela felt better.

"Of course, I suggest you check with Cang Qing first. There must be saints on your side who would be interested in going there, such as Shou Zhen and others who have been in the Ancient Ones for many years and cannot find the way forward."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, his eyes fixed on the passage that was "fixed" by the red glow.

Of course, he couldn't just rashly enter the passage.

But it seems a pity to leave like this.

Ji Jingqiu hesitated for a moment and came to the passage. He was curious about what supported this road. It actually connected directly from somewhere in the Boundary Sea to the Nether Sea.

He looked into the passage and saw many shining points of light, like fireflies in the sky, on the walls that he didn't know whether it was at the end or along the way.

Some are dim, some are bright, just like morning stars that are some far and some near.

Ji Jingqiu had a vague understanding.

The brilliance in the deep space may be the morning star in the vast universe, but in front of the channel connecting to the boundary sea, these should be realms floating in the boundary sea.

suddenly.

He caught a glimpse of some kind of sound echoing in the passage.

Ji Jingqiu frowned slightly. Are other disciples from Chaoxia Mountain coming over?
But soon, he realized something was wrong.

The sound was very long, revealing a sense of sadness and loneliness, as if calling for something. It really was like the last cry of a giant whale before sinking into the deep sea.

Ji Jingqiu stared into the passage, the light of his mind swaying slightly, and it was difficult for him to remain calm.

"What did you see and hear?"

Hila noticed Ji Jingqiu’s turmoil, but noticed something unusual in his gaze and asked.

Chaoge did not reveal much information, so they could not determine whether this passage was really an "ancient road" or was opened up by Chaoge himself.

If it is an ancient road, then the road itself may hold many secrets.

Ji Jingqiu did not answer and continued to listen to the mournful sound that was almost like the cry of a whale.

He seemed to see the endless depth of space, with large and terrifying shadows wriggling and swallowing up the fluorescent particles.

Behind every fluorescent light lies a vast, desolate and decaying universe.

The lonely ghosts that have been suppressed for countless epochs are whispering in it.

After listening to Ji Jingqiu's description, Hila said indifferently: "Don't pay attention to them. They are a bunch of eliminated wild foxes and remnants of the old era. They can't cause any trouble."

Ji Jingqiu frowned, he was thinking about something.

The last scene he saw was either the scene inside the passage or the manifestation of the mysterious great way, which allowed him to see certain scenes from the past and the future.

If it is the latter, then that large area of ​​creepy, creeping shadow... is the dark sea?

Do those fluorescent particles represent the engulfed realm?
"What was the ending of the realm that was completely swallowed up by the dark sea in the past? Destruction?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

"Ji Jingqiu, when you go to the Sea Boundary, you will know that death is often a good ending."

Hela suddenly said in a low voice,
"Every realm that is completely swallowed by the Dark Sea will eventually become a 'tomb'. The creatures that fail to escape in time or fight to the death will be trapped in the tomb, trapped in a state of neither life nor death."

"You mean, countless souls are trapped in those tombs?" Ji Jingqiu asked in surprise.

“All the spirits?” Hela sneered. “All the spirits have long been dead. I’m talking about the sacred ones.”

Ji Jingqiu was silent. Is this one of the truths about the Cemetery of the Gods?
He had no plans to enter the passage for the time being and was going to go back and contact Uncle Master Cangyu first.

next moment.

Ji Jingqiu only felt a chill.

"Where did Wuwang Mountain go?"

Ji Jingqiu suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at the place where Wuwang Mountain was hanging upside down.

It was completely empty.

At some point, the upside-down Wuwang Mountain disappeared.

Ji Jingqiu tried to recall but couldn't find any related memories. His last memory was before the blood moon was beheaded!

He looked at the sword light wandering around him, not caring whether it was reliable or not, and asked:

"Did you notice when the mountain disappeared?"

The sword light paused at his shoulder, and the edge deflected, as if it looked in the direction of Ji Jingqiu's finger, and then seemed to have no idea what he was talking about.

Ji Jingqiu looked solemn. Could it be that he was the only one who could see the Wuwang Mountain that appeared not long ago?
What about Chaoge's clone who appeared here before?
Even this person has never seen the location of Wuwang Mountain?
He became suspicious because Chaoge's previous words and deeds did not mention Wuwang Mountain at all, and even Wuzhou and Hela were very concerned about it.

now.

This area was completely empty, just like most areas of the dark sea, there was nothing but dead silence.

Ji Jingqiu did not hesitate. After a brief stop, he chose to leave quickly.

He came here originally to refine his own great path.

After responding to Wuwang Mountain's call, he completed the last piece of the puzzle as he wished, and refined a great wonder, as well as having a considerable unexpected gain.

Next, the fifth level of Heavenly King is about breaking the limit of Tao power.

After returning from the Youhai.

Ji Jingqiu quickly contacted Cangyou in the spiritual realm created by Cangqing's lineage based on the world tree.

The latter was first surprised that Ji Jingqiu came back so soon, and then said in shock:

"Where did you get the news?"

"This matter is still kept secret. Even I just received the order to gather the strong men of the Cangqing lineage."

"I have the first-hand information." Ji Jingqiu replied casually, "Have the saints believed the one from Chaoxia Mountain?"

Cangyou looked at the boy strangely.

This kid even knows about [Chaoxia Mountain].

And first-hand information?
Could it be that the master informed this kid first and then thought of her?

"Because of this incident, the Holy King brought back the saints who had originally dispersed and returned to the dojo."

"Now the saints are having a secret discussion overnight. According to Master, the credibility of this event is quite high. They seem to be very sincere. Many saints are very interested in this matter and want to go there as a group." "After all, being able to come into contact with the power of the transcendental level is a great temptation for them. Of course, there are also many saints who are hesitant and think there may be a trap."

"In the end, it is estimated that a group of saints will stay behind to guard the house, and a group of people will go there as a team."

Cangyu briefly explained the current situation.

"Going in a group?"

Ji Jingqiu muttered in his heart, is this some kind of sunset tour group?
According to Wu Zhou and Hela, every "whale fall" in the Boundary Sea will attract many giants in the Boundary Sea.

In front of some top powerhouses, even the five pillars may not be able to win. In this case, forming a team is obviously the safest measure.

After all, the saints do not need to cross the boundary sea, they only need to pass through the ancient road deep in the dark sea. This alone makes them ahead of countless powerful people in the boundary sea.

"By the way, not long ago, there was news that the Moon God was preparing to launch a bloody war against the Sun God Dynasty, but after this incident, it is estimated that it will be postponed for a while."

Cangyu remembered something and reminded him.

Moon Goddess...

Ji Jingqiu subconsciously glanced at the sword light cruising around him.

I don't know what's going on with this person, but it seems like he's temporarily dependent on her.

He admires this attitude of never giving up until the goal is achieved, but when it applies to himself, he is not so appreciative.

"Where is the kingdom of the Moon God?"

Hearing Ji Jingqiu's question, Cangyou said jokingly, "Why, you still want to block the door? You have to wait at least tens of thousands of years until you are promoted to a True Saint."

"If something goes wrong with the Moon God, will it cause a shock among the saints?" Ji Jingqiu asked tentatively, "Or in other words, is the death of a saint within the controllable range?"

"Something's wrong with the Moon Goddess? Saint's death?" Cangyou gradually became suspicious. "What do you want to do? She and Chi Wanyang are ancient gods second only to the five pillars. They have not only looks, but also extensive connections."

"Just no strength?"

"Compared to her looks and connections, her strength is still far behind." Cangyou shrugged, "As an ancient god at the same level as Chi Wanyang, she has only barely reached the edge of the Ancient Ones. There are rumors that there are problems with her path. If she wants to continue to move forward, taking down Chi Wanyang is her only choice."

Ji Jingqiu understood.

True saints are often distinguished by “new” and “old”; this is the most direct way of distinguishing, counting the time it takes to achieve enlightenment.

Generally speaking, the older the True Saint, the more powerful he is.

The Ancient Ones are a sign of reaching the level of the “Old Saints”.

"Don't mess around. This person's strength is not that strong among the saints, but he has a wide network of contacts."

The more Cangyou thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He suspected that this guy had some backup plan left by Mu Shitian or He Donghuang, so he immediately warned him.

If this is really the backup plan left by these two guys, I'm afraid Master and others will be afraid of it. It's totally not worth using it on the Moon Goddess. It's such a waste.

"For now, he is only targeting the Sun God Dynasty, not your Federation. It's not worth using your trump card until the worst moment."

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself that this Uncle Cangyou had obviously misunderstood him. He was not planning to do anything and just wanted to visit the Moon Goddess's palace.

In the end, Cangyou still gave him the time and space coordinates of the Moon God Palace.

After all, this is not a secret. If Ji Jingqiu is determined to find out, he will eventually find out.

"Are you going to the other side?" Cangyou asked at last. "In addition to the saints, there will be some quotas, but not many. This quota is related to the protection of the one in Zhaoxia Mountain. If you want to go, I will arrange it for you."

Ji Jingqiu politely declined Master Cangyou's offer.

The senior from Chaoge had already promised that if he went there, he would give him all the compensation as an apology from Chaoxia Mountain, which naturally included shelter.

However, he did not plan to go there rashly before the saints decided on the members of the "senior group". After all, it was not an exaggeration to say that the place opposite was in a Jedi state. It was too dangerous.

After saying goodbye to Master Uncle Cangyou, Ji Jingqiu thought that it was still early, so he prepared to pass by the star field where the Moon God Palace was located to test the power of the defensive special attack sword energy.

Currently, the Moon Goddess should be attending the Conference of Saints. No matter how powerful someone in the palace is, he is probably only at the level of Heavenly Venerable Daoist Ancestor.

……

After Ji Jingqiu left, Cangyou sent a message to his master out of caution.

After all, Ji Jingqiu's other master is He Donghuang, a lawless man.

After doing all this, she looked at the leaders from various families in front of her. Her previous contact with Ji Jingqiu was through the spiritual realm built with the World Tree as the foundation.

She frowned and said, "Each family only has one basic quota. Isn't that too little?"

The man from the Taiyou lineage shook his head and said, "It's not a small number. The other party didn't give many places to begin with, but we have a lot of power, so this time we will divide them based on the True Saints of each family. Some of the New Saint Dojos only have one place."

Cangyu did not object but remained silent. After all, judging by the number of True Saints, the five major pantheons clearly had the advantage.

but……

"What about the Yanhuang Federation?" Cangyou suddenly asked.

Although Ji Jingqiu said that it was not necessary, the quota must be allocated.

The representative of the Taiyou lineage said calmly: "There are currently no True Saints in the Yanhuang Federation, so it stands to reason that no quotas should be allocated."

Cangyou said coldly: "The one of the Four Guardians was ignored by you?"

At the side, Taoist Qianfa from the Mingxu lineage coughed lightly and said, "On the Yanhuang Federation side, just allocate one. It's not justifiable not to give one, and it's not appropriate to give more."

The representative of the Taiyou lineage frowned slightly, as if he was reluctant to give even this spot, but after looking around, he did not speak any more and sighed in his heart.

The Yanhuang Federation actually made at least three of the five major divine systems lean towards it.

The momentum of that season's autumn was already difficult to suppress.

……

at the same time.

Lord Cangqing, who was in the temple that had been renamed the Council of All Saints, just frowned and glanced at the Moon Goddess at the news from You'er, but did not take it to heart.

The Moon Goddess sensed his gaze and smiled softly.

The former had already retracted his gaze and sat upright.

During the discussion, the saints had come to an end.

The Holy King guaranteed on his own that there was no problem with the matter and demonstrated the "sincerity" of Chaoxia Mountain to everyone.

After confirming this.

The topic among the saints immediately turned to who would go and who would stay.

It was originally thought that among the five pillars, the Holy King would be the leader this time, but in the end the Holy King took the initiative to stay behind, and the temporary leader finally decided was the Void Emperor of the Void lineage.

No one in this world can match this man's mastery of the Way of the Void. He is indeed the best candidate to be the leader of this trip, and all the saints have no objection.

……

……

When Ji Jingqiu returned to the universe, he felt like a fish in water, just like he was in the dark sea.

He did not rush to the Moon Palace, but went to the Forest of Stars, the ancestral land of the elves.

The previous meeting with old friends was too hasty. Now that I have time, I naturally want to reunite after a long absence.

Unfortunately, Mu Rouzhi had just returned to the ancestral land of the Cangqing lineage, and he only saw a bunch of enthusiastic elf girls and was warmly received.

The next day, he set out on the journey to the Moon Palace, which could be considered a journey in the universe.

He went in and out of many galaxies, and wherever he passed, the kings who had originally poured into the universe from various realms and were rampant and unbridled seemed to have disappeared all at once.

Ji Jingqiu was well aware of this.

While he was destroying his own foundation, he also used his own law of cause and effect as a medium, ultimately making the long river of destiny vaguely connected with the dark sea.

Even if the Nether Sea is temporarily quiet now, if the kings of various families continue to wreak havoc and commit endless killings as before, the spiritual tides aroused will be enough to lock them down.

In a sense, Ji Jingqiu also offended this group of people.

But he didn't take them seriously.

As he traveled along the way, he met many powerful people wandering in the starry sky. Just by observing from a distance, he could sense the profound and deep Taoist charm on them.

At present, the universe has not yet undergone the last celestial change, so these are nothing more than celestial kings at most.

Ji Jingqiu nodded secretly. There were many extraordinary kings among the various families. He hoped that there would be a chance to fight each other in the future.

I wonder what kind of powerful outsiders I will meet when I go to Qingliulitian this time.

Unconsciously.

Ji Jingqiu noticed that the sword light that had been circling around him was actually a little agitated. He knew in his heart that they were almost there.

Soon after, an extremely bright and clear moon appeared in front of us, illuminating the dark universe and becoming the center of the starry sky. All the stars in the sky revolved around it, as if replacing the sun.

Ji Jingqiu was amazed in his heart, he was indeed one of the few true saints who built his temple directly in the universe.

The Moon God can do this not only because of her special status, but mostly because of this clear moon.

This should be part of the Moon Goddess's former self, or the manifestation of the accompanying avenue.

If I could move this bright moon into the prototype of my inner universe...
