Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 95: Mutual Appreciation Between Geniuses
The list of fighting skills he sent to Ji Jingqiu that day only contained five lower-level sword techniques.

But in the battle just now, the skills displayed by Ji Jingqiu far exceeded this number, and he even vaguely found his own way.

Could it be that this kid was deliberately hiding his abilities a few days ago?
But this is obviously impossible, because it cannot be hidden from his eyes, unless Ji Jingqiu's skills have surpassed his.

"There are thirty-one advanced sword techniques, and some inferior sword techniques are not counted."

Ji Jingqiu replied calmly. His breathing became even more rapid and his energy was greatly depleted. He sat down cross-legged and wolfed down a high-energy nutrition bar. Feeling deeply depraved, he threw one to Zhuang Bu Tong.

Strictly speaking, there are only thirty-one sword techniques.

He has no idea what he is.

This is not his upper limit, but the upper limit of the martial arts inventory of the Star Group branch.

By the end of his studies, he found that he could learn swordsmanship faster and faster, as if he were assisted by God.

If he guessed correctly, this meant that he had made a leap forward in his skills and was no longer a complete novice in swordsmanship.

After he had his own understanding of the way of the sword, he could not only see the essence of the lower-level martial arts at a glance, but also learn by analogy and apply them to other similar cases, instead of starting from scratch.

Afterwards, with the help of the light of wisdom, he spent a lot of time trying to fuse these sword techniques into one, but his current gains were very little and he could only summarize them into one sword.

This knife also made Senior Zhuang show surprise for the first time in the previous battle.

Zhuang Bu Tong subconsciously caught the energy bar, still muttering:
"In three days, thirty-one disciples have perfected their sword techniques, but there are still many inferior sword techniques..."

Zhuang Bu Tong slowly straightened his chest and raised his back, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to have regained a bit of his former spirit. He said in a low voice:

"I was wrong. Your talent is no less than mine! You are qualified to stand shoulder to shoulder with me!"

"Let me ask you, what is your current goal?"

Ji Jingqiu's eyes were determined: "I'm going to take down the seventh floor!"

"The seventh floor?" Zhuang Bu Tong thought for a moment and finally remembered, "You mean the seventh floor of Bai Yu Jing?"

"Correct!"

Zhuang Bu Tong was speechless.

Has no one told this kid how difficult the seventh level is now?

Bai Yujing's virtual warrior image is not afraid of life or death, so his fighting style is extremely crazy and unrestrained. There is no such thing as maneuvering or testing, and every move he makes is a killing move.

So starting from the sixth level, you only need to persist for three minutes to pass the level.

As far as Zhuang Bu Tong knew, in the past hundred years, the only person who could fight the man on the seventh floor for three minutes while he was in a violent state without fear of life or death...

Less than a handful!
The rest of the people who made it through the level relied on their dodging skills to survive the three minutes and take shortcuts to pass.

But this kid actually said he wanted to defeat the seventh floor?

It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger...

There was a hint of nostalgia in Zhuang Bu Tong's expression.

He had had such ambitions in his past.

Unfortunately, it was not realized in the end.

"It's very difficult." Zhuang Bu Tong said directly, "That person has already reached the pinnacle in both the body forging and true seed realms, and his martial arts skills are even more superb, he is simply inhuman!"

"Senior Zhuang, are you not sure either?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

"I..." Zhuang Bu Tong hesitated, "I wouldn't be able to fight him head-on. If we were the same age, he would be stronger than me in terms of physique. I have some confidence in his martial arts, but we have to fight to know who is stronger."

"As for now... there is no comparison."

"You said that your physique is comparable to that of a natural warrior?" Zhuang Bu Tong paused and said, "Then you do have hope. As long as you can bring your martial arts to the peak of the body-building stage, you will be qualified to challenge him head-on."

Ji Jingqiu sat upright.

"Actually, there is another way."

Zhuang Bu Tong suddenly said:

"Have you heard of the six limits of heaven and man?"

Ji Jingqiu was shocked.

This is only my second time here, is the main quest about to be triggered?
As expected, only geniuses can appreciate each other the most!
Senior Zhuang is about to open his heart to him!
Ji Jingqiu chose to speak frankly: "In fact, I heard rumors before I came here. And I also felt the existence of the sixth limit."

Zhuang Bu Tong didn't show any surprise at all.

In his opinion, isn't it natural that those who can match him should be at the sixth limit?

Zhuang Bu Tong said: "Tell me about your perception of the Sixth Limit."

Ji Jingqiu described it again, the feeling that seemed to be right in front of him, but in fact was two worlds apart.

"That's right, because the Sixth Limit has not yet truly integrated with the underlying rules of the real world." Zhuang Bu Tong said softly, "You should have heard of the saying that the spiritual ocean transforms the real world. This saying is correct so far."

Ji Jingqiu said: "I am more curious about that some people say that the sixth limit appeared because of the predecessors."

Faced with this question, Zhuang Bu Tong was silent for a moment, then nodded:
"You can say that I wanted to create another mountain for the Federation's martial arts back then, but I didn't expect the world to really respond to me."

"Response?"

Ji Jingqiu was shocked.

What is this statement?
Zhuang Bu Tong suddenly shook his head and said, "Don't delve into this issue. It will bring you the same misfortune as mine."

"Let's get back to the topic."

Zhuang Bu Tong paused, and suddenly an extremely determined light lit up in his eyes, containing a power that reaches deep into people's hearts.

He spoke each word with great emphasis, as if each word reflected his lifelong beliefs, and he never wavered or retreated. He said:
"In a week, I will cut through the barrier between the Sixth Limit and the present world, and make the Sixth Limit the cornerstone of the martial arts of the present world!"

Zhuang was different at this moment. In Ji Jingqiu's eyes, he was like an unshakable mountain. No matter how noisy the outside world was, he never changed his belief.

Stubbornly like a rock that cannot be eroded by wind or rain.

Standing on the top of the mountain.

Ji Jingqiu exhaled slowly and asked, "How do you plan to cut it open, senior?"

"Just like our ancestors ten thousand years ago, who successively opened the five gates of heaven and let the five limits of heaven and man fall into the world!" Zhuang Bu Tong's eyes were deep and blazing, "What our predecessors can do, there is no reason why we can't do it!" Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment: "Senior, how confident are you that you have accumulated for thirty-one years?"

"After a week, about 30%." Zhuang Bu Tong said calmly.

This success moved Ji Jingqiu. It was not that it was too low, but that it was too high!

With the strength of one person alone, he has a 30% chance of creating a new mountain for the world of martial arts. Just how talented was Zhuang Bu Tong back then?
Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but ask, "What if it fails?"

Zhuang Bu Tong stared at him and said: "Then I invite the newcomers to carry on my aspirations."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned by his gaze and whispered, "Senior, are you referring to... me?"

Zhuang Bu Tong did not deny it and said slowly:

"In fact, if it was a month later, I might have a better chance, but there are too many variables right now. After seeing your talent today, I finally made up my mind and decided not to delay any longer."

"Your talent is not inferior to mine. If I can't do it after a week, I'll trouble you to try it some other time. If you don't want to, that's fine. Just pass this method on."

Ji Jingqiu said: "As far as I know, many people want to get the secret of breaking through from this senior. Since the senior is willing to pass it on to me, why not make it public?"

Zhuang's different answer was unexpected:

"I have announced it a long time ago. I have never concealed it from them. But they don't want to believe me."

"The young man from the Sun and Moon Dojo a few days ago came here for this matter. He is the younger generation of an old friend of mine, and I passed it on to him. However, with his talent, I'm afraid he has no hope in this life."

"These people are not only stupid but also scheming. They think I am the same as them, deliberately hiding something and not wanting to see someone walk ahead of me."

At this point, Zhuang Bu Tong's usually calm face revealed a hint of undisguised sarcasm.

Ji Jingqiu was speechless.

He originally thought that the management bureau tried every means to send people to gather intelligence because Zhuang Bu Tong was keeping it a secret.

For example, there are secrets that are difficult to reveal, or it may be purely personal factors...

But I didn't expect the answer to be this.

Is there no way for the federal government to confirm whether Zhuang Bu Tong is hiding anything?
Any master can easily identify it based on his spiritual cultivation of fetal breathing, right?

Zhuang Bu Tong said slowly:

"For the next week, if it is convenient for you, you can come here every day. I will hone your skills in the way of the sword. At the same time, I will use you as a whetstone to sharpen my blade in preparation for opening the way a week later."

"If you don't mind, you can come and watch."

Ji Jingqiu nodded and said, "Junior will definitely not be absent!"

"Next, I will teach you my secret method. This secret method is actually related to telepathy..."

With Zhuang Bu Tong's generous teaching, Ji Jingqiu quickly mastered his secret method of breaking through the barriers.

This secret technique gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After a brief recollection, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Senior, have you also learned the [Eternal Sword]?"

Zhuang Bu Tong was startled for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, this method is based on the [Eternal Sword], but I made a lot of changes to it. I didn't expect you to be able to tell."

Ji Jingqiu was secretly shocked. It was completely changed beyond recognition, with only the most fundamental idea remaining.

This Senior Zhuang is truly a man of great talent. Even at the Body Tempering Realm, he has been able to transform and deduce this method to this level.

This method has been combined with telepathy after various modifications by Zhuang.

"Senior Zhuang, I still don't understand what telekinesis is." Ji Jingqiu asked, "I heard that telekinesis is the product of the power of the mind under the catalysis of the strange magnetic field of this planet."

"You can say that, but in fact telekinesis is the power of the mind."

Zhuang Bu Tong raised a finger, and a cluster of electric sparks ignited at the tip of his finger. In terms of quality and quantity, it was a hundred times better than Ji Jingqiu. He continued to explain,

"Outside the Four Guardian Stars, unless you can break through the mind phase and both your body and mind are perfect, your mind power will not be able to break through the constraints of the human body. The release of mind power is the privilege of mind phase warriors and masters."

"But the Four Guardian Stars are different. The underlying rules here have changed compared to the outside world. Telekinesis is one of the manifestations of the power of the mind."

"So the Four Guardian Stars are very important to the Federation's martial arts. Only here can the True Seed Realm appreciate the true essence of spiritual power in advance and forge a superior body of martial arts."

Zhuang Bu Tong thought for a moment and said, "I have heard that there are a few special places that can do this, but in terms of size and difficulty, they are far from being comparable to the Four Guardian Stars."

Ji Jingqiu opened his five fingers, and electrocardiograms flashed on his fingertips. He asked curiously, "Does the strength of electrocardiograms depend on the level of spiritual cultivation?"

He had already entered a state of meditation, but his telepathic power was far inferior to Zhuang Bu Tong's.

Zhuang Bu Tong shook his head:
“The rules of the Four Guardians are not as perfect as you think. They just create a loophole for you, allowing your mental power to escape the constraints of your body.

At first, everyone is just a flame. What you need to do is to make this flame grow stronger. The upper limit of the flame depends on your spiritual realm. "

"To make the flames burn brighter, do you mean fighting?"

"Fighting is the quickest way, but there is more. For example, if you invite gods to the temple, if you can gain the favor of the gods, your telekinesis can also benefit from it. In addition..."

Zhuang Bu Tong hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Remember, fighting is the best way. Other methods are unreliable and very dangerous."

Ji Jingqiu did not delve into it and said, "Senior, I have roughly mastered your method. I still need to study the part about the application of electrocardiography."

Zhuang Bu Tong nodded and said, "You can meditate more during this week. With your talent, you may be able to generate some inspiration."

After that, he glanced at the door and said, "There may be some trouble when you go out today, so be careful on the road."

Ji Jingqiu stood up and said goodbye.

Just as he walked out the door, a prompt suddenly came from the terminal.

"Your account with the last digit 402X received a transfer of 488134.23 yuan..."

Ji Jingqiu stopped in shock and looked back, only to see that Zhuang Bu Tong had already entered a state of meditation.

He silently calculated the difference and found that it was roughly the price of a few high-energy nutrition bars.

Senior Zhuang, are you going to...

No way out?
