Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 336: Lawless, Proving the Way with Strength

"01 cannot be omnipotent, but can achieve limited omnipotence with limited omniscience."

"In the realm of true saints, the older you are, the more powerful you are. The more comprehensive the information you have, the higher your chance of winning."

"So among the four of us, although Wu Zhou is the one who is most compatible with Youhai, the one that the strongest in all realms and even the will of the universe cannot tolerate is, without a doubt, the existence of 01. No one below the Heavenly Venerate is qualified to know His true name."

"In addition, Yan and 01's paths conflict with each other, so they are stumbling blocks to each other. Otherwise, the latter's ability would have spread into this realm like a plague."

After listening to Hela's front-end description, Ji Jingqiu's expression was particularly solemn, even a little ugly.

There is no solution to the problem of a demon god who can help someone to transcend as long as people know his existence.

Compared to Wu Zhou's coming and assimilation of all spirits, or Yan's destruction and annihilation of everything, just spreading a name is not at the same level of difficulty.

But after hearing the second half of Hela's words, Ji Jingqiu suddenly felt relieved.

The good news is that the enemy is not a monolithic entity. At most, it is just a small piece of cake, and it is a small cake that everyone is fighting for.

Just like Hela and Wu Zhou, neither of them is a good person, and each of them becomes a stumbling block on the road to the other.

Ji Jingqiu's thoughts were in turmoil.

Not to mention the four demons, isn't it the same among the saints in the universe?

In the past, when coach He tried to break through, there were countless people who attacked him openly or secretly.

"The path of the Heavenly Demon Wu Zhou is 'All things return to one', the path of the Death Demon Yan is the demise of all things, and 01 is omniscient and omnipotent, so which path are you taking?"

Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked in confusion.

“Why are you asking so many questions?” Hela said coldly, “Once I devour Wu Zhou, I will naturally be able to enter the state of transcendence.”

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

An inexplicable warmth fills my heart.

It's great that we can trip each other up like this.

"Wutian has collected a lot of information about the Chaos Abyss Sea." Ji Jingqiu said, "We can take action once the inner world is reborn. As for you, how are you preparing?"

Others use heavenly fire to burn themselves, but this guy actually plans to let him survive the disaster with karmic fire.

Their lineage, Master Mu, and Senior Brother Mu Heshanmu, all died in the end under the karmic fire of their vows.

"Be at ease, you are different from us, and the karmic fire is also divided into different levels."

Hela said absentmindedly,
"We regard the fire of karma as a ferocious beast, especially Wu Zhou, and we absolutely do not want to be stained by even a trace of it. But you, the lineage of the Buddha, are different. You are all very resistant to it."

"In the past, Mu Shitian died because the karmic fire he attracted was too terrifying. He actually tried to eliminate the sins of all living beings. If he didn't die, who would die?"

"By the way, haven't you recently tried to use the sea of ​​suffering to refine the holy fetus of your soul? How was the result?"

Hela changed the subject and asked.

"It is considered to be effective..."

Ji Jingqiu recalled the brief attempt a month ago and frowned.

"It's more difficult than I thought. The price of the holy fetus of the soul being stained by the water of the sea of ​​suffering is not endless pain, but sinking and being lost."

It is said that the water of the sea of ​​suffering is used to wash and temper the holy fetus of the soul, but the actual feeling is that the holy fetus of the soul is falling into a boundless ocean, and countless creatures under it are pulling it to fall into the depths.

There is no end in sight, and no hope.

If he hadn't had the Bodhi tree to protect him, he might have really sunk and gotten lost.

Of course, the harvest is also considerable.

After the tempering was completed, his spiritual fetus grew visibly and became tougher.

Compared with the spiritual practice that requires hard work and perseverance, this is a leap forward.

After hearing Ji Jingqiu's words, Hila said disapprovingly:
"For beings on the path to becoming gods, the waters of the sea of ​​suffering are enough to easily corrode their foundations that would not decay for millions of years. You just feel lost, which is far better than anything else."

"I suggest you continue to persevere. As long as you can imprint the aura of the sea of ​​suffering in your body and soul, all gods below your rank will respect you as a god in the future."

"Even if they are of the same rank, or even higher than you, they will be as afraid as a tiger and restrain their hands and feet when facing you."

Hearing this, Ji Jingqiu's eyes lit up with surprise and he talked about something that happened not long ago.

"Earlier, a strand of my thoughts was cut into the kingdom of a god. Accompanying me at the time was the Dragon of the End, which was transformed from the 'Dead Fish'.

"This guy caused a big commotion in the other party's clone's kingdom, and the latter had almost no chance to fight back. All the magic and supernatural powers that hit it were dispelled. Is this also related to the Sea of ​​Bitterness?"

Hila thought for a moment, then pointed at the lotus pond in front of her and said, “That guy had been soaking in it before, and he must have been soaked in it for a long time.”

Although the lotus pond before us shows signs of gradually transforming into the Eight Treasures Merit Pond, its original foundation is actually the water of the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be thinking about something and glanced at Fat Tiger who was sleeping soundly under the Bodhi tree.

When this guy has no knives to sharpen, he just sleeps all day. Should we throw it in a bubble bath, or just kick it out of the house and let it go to the pure land?
Hila said calmly: “You want to soak it in the pool? Change your mindset and let it go to the mountain.”

"Going up the mountain?"

"Didn't you notice that the fog in the Wuwang Mountain that you copied is a little lighter than it was at the beginning?"

Ji Jingqiu looked up and saw that the Wuwang Mountain, which was about to be accommodated by the Pure Land World, seemed to be free of fog and some of its true appearance was revealed.

This is strange.

The so-called copying is actually like a painting. He painted a mountain in the fog.

Now that the clouds have dissipated, the mountains behind are just as clearly visible, but the question is, who painted this part of the mountain?

Is this painting alive?
Just when Ji Jingqiu became suspicious.

A wisp of fresh breeze lingered in his ears.

It is the wind without form.

He raised his hand, and the formless wind gently coiled around his palm.

"You want to go to the mountains, too?"

Ji Jingqiu was surprised. He didn't expect that Wuxiang Zhifeng would take the initiative to volunteer to go to Wuwang Mountain to "practice hard".

In the end, Ji Jingqiu did not object. He also wanted to see whether the Formless Wind would undergo a transformation.

"Take it with you, and you two will be companions."

Ji Jingqiu picked up Fat Tiger's ear and threw it to Wuxiang Zhifeng.

Fat Tiger rubbed his sleepy eyes, but he was still asleep when he suddenly widened his eyes and found himself being carried by the formless wind and heading towards the Wuwang Mountain not far away.

"Ow!"

Ji Jingqiu ignored this guy and glanced at the snake's tail that was faintly visible in the lotus pond.

Hela always said that they feared the water of the bitter sea like a tiger.

But now this guy soaks her feet in the water of the bitter sea every day, and she doesn't show the slightest fear or discomfort.

Even though it is tainted with the water of merit, it still contains the essence of the sea of ​​suffering.

Why, it’s been soaked in flavor?

It's also interesting to say.

I don't know when they became "allies".

Ji Jingqiu suddenly began to think back, wanting to know when the crucial change in their relationship occurred.

Thinking backwards all the way, Ji Jingqiu stopped at the second time he wandered in his trance, when he encountered Ji Shuai's scheme.

He sighed inwardly.

Could this also be part of Ji Shuai’s plan?
It really is true that “you can’t lose money either way”.

After that, a kind of trust was established between him and Hela, a kind of trust that "those with the same ideals can work together" in some aspects.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu shook his head slightly. The most important thing between him and Hela was that they used each other and had the same interests.

Just like this time.

Hela now regards Wu Zhou as the key to her own transcendence, and she has also recruited him who also regards Wu Zhou as a great medicine. It is hard to say that she is not using him to attack dissidents and delay Wu Zhou's chance of becoming a god.

He didn't mind it.

As I said, it’s great that everyone can trip each other up.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu said seriously: "After the three disasters, what will be blocking my way to the Heavenly King?"

Hila was stunned, as if she didn’t expect Ji Jingqiu to ask this question suddenly.

"The Road to Heaven..."

She looked Ji Jingqiu up and down and said slowly,

"With the foundation of Taoism you laid when you broke through to the Celestial Realm, you can only follow the path of 'opening the way' in the future."

"You have already completed the Dao Form and the Illusionary Great Dao Mark. I am afraid that the only path that will stand in your way in the future is the Illusionary Great Dao."

She raised her eyebrows: "You should be aware of the difficulty of opening up the illusory road, right?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

How many people who have achieved perfection in heaven and earth have been stuck on this path.

Even for those who follow the path of their predecessors, which is relatively simple and can be memorized by heart, they still need to work hard at this step. Even those who are not talented enough will find it difficult to achieve perfection in their lifetime.

It is normal to be stuck at this step for hundreds or thousands of years.

There are many people who have been stuck in the realms for tens of thousands of years, and finally have the qualifications to break through to the Heavenly King, but there is no corresponding "position" in the sect, and they have to continue to endure. This is a tragedy...

"With your talent, completing this step is actually just a matter of time and effort, but you don't have much time left."

Hela raised her head and said, "I am thinking about you."

"That's why I asked you to devour Wu Zhou, to use this Bodhi tree to dismantle its old Dao fruit, and to use the illusory Dao within it to attain another Dao."

“Once you have attained the Tao first, then it will be much easier to observe the Tao and open the Tao.”

Ji Jingqiu nodded. In fact, the path he would take in the future had already been determined since he broke through the boundary between heaven and man and chose to establish his magical power.

This road is not easy to walk on. The evolution of all things involves too many and too complicated paths. Even if it is just the illusory road of the king of heaven, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But in the same way, when the Great Dao is established in the future, one will be able to see the formless through all phenomena, and in an instant will be able to accommodate all things, be inclusive, and surpass all paths.

Except for fate and time, which cannot be touched lightly, in his eyes, all other avenues can be split and evolved.

There are only a few who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

"As for the fire of karma..."

Hela sneered and said,
"Don't worry, the one who should be worried is Wu Zhou. If the plan goes well, I'm afraid you won't even need your Supreme True Buddha to take action this time, as you can suppress it - provided that Chaos Abyss Sea really has its clone."

In the corner, Xiao Wuzhou lowered his head to look at his toes, pretending not to hear.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly thought of something and said to himself, "Oh, I almost forgot. I can still ask for help from Tiansheng Lake."

…………

After seeing off several representatives from the Phoenix Blood Palace and the Yaochi Fairyland, Taoist Wujiu went to the Taoist Palace of the Patriarch to report the alliance that had been reached.

Thanks to Junior Brother Wu Tian, ​​everything is currently going according to the master's plan.

at this time.

Taoist Wuju suddenly stopped and frowned after receiving the message from Wutan.

"The surrounding area is still in the Chaos Abyss Sea, are you preparing to attack the Chaos Abyss Sea?"

"Junior brother is too enthusiastic... so enthusiastic that I don't believe he is really considering the sect."

"There are suspected remnants of demonic power in the Chaos Abyss Sea. Do you hope to get help from the dojo?"

"The Chaos Abyss Sea is the remains of the battlefield where the All-Seeing God and the Heavenly Demon fought in the past... No wonder."

"Devil..."

Taoist Wuju looked helpless.

What kind of help can they provide in the universe? The biggest help is the projection of the holy soldiers.

Otherwise, what does Tiansheng Lake want Junior Brother Wu Tian for?
He hesitated for a moment.

Wujiu returned to the outside of the Patriarch's Palace and reported the news about his junior brother Wutan to the Patriarch.

While waiting for the master's orders, I was free to let my thoughts run wild.

At present, in the eyes of the Patriarch, the entire Tiansheng Lake may not be as important as Junior Brother Wutian.

The latter is not only the core of the establishment of religion and preaching, but also the key for the ancestors to verify certain methods...

Suddenly.

The voice of the founder came from the hall, still peaceful and majestic, as if it came from the source of the long river of time.

[Let him first complete the rebirth of the inner world in peace, and after gaining a firm foothold in the Great Heaven, formally establish his orthodoxy before going to the Chaos Abyss Sea to cause trouble.]

Wu Ju was stunned. The master's message pointed out an important secret - is there really any remaining power of the devil in the Chaos Abyss Sea? !
Otherwise, with Junior Brother Wu Tian's methods, why would he need to establish his own lineage before interfering? !
When the Taoist tradition of Tiansheng Lake is truly established in the universe, the founder will be able to use the projection of the holy soldiers to slightly interfere in the affairs of the universe.

At worst, at least we can save Junior Brother Wu Tian’s life, and that should be fine.

Wujiu knew that the price was not low. It seemed that the master not only valued his junior brother, but also paid attention to the treacherous things hidden in this chaotic sea...

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?

Wujiu took the order and left, passing the master's words to Wutan who was in the universe.

……

"Uncle-master, this is all the information we have collected about the Chaos Abyss Sea. In addition to the Four Divine Temples, there are more than a hundred other forces, large and small, in the Chaos Abyss Sea. None of them is worth your attention."

After Tianyingzi finished his report, Wutian nodded and said:

“Very detailed and well done.”

Tianyingzi's eyes were filled with joy, and he said respectfully, "Master Uncle, do you need to intervene in the exchange with the captives from Yaochi Fairyland and Huangxue Palace?"

Wu Tian browsed the information about Chaos Abyss Sea, communicated with the main body, and replied casually:
"Just take responsibility and warn them that if you can catch them once, you can catch them a second time."

"Disciple understands!"

Just as Tianyingzi was about to leave, Wu Tian suddenly said:
"wait."

While Tianyingzi was waiting on the side, Wutan received a message from Senior Brother Wujiu.

After a slight silence.

He looked at Tian Yingzi and said, "Have all the disciples get ready. I will soon formally establish the Taoist lineage on Gusu Star."

Tian Yingzi was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Uncle Master, isn't this too hasty? The various clans are not yet fully prepared..."

"One month." Wu Tian said calmly, "After one month, my inner world will be reborn and I will be promoted to the Great Heavenly Realm. That will be the day when Tiansheng Lake will establish its Daoist tradition in the universe. You can quickly inform all the sects."

Tian Yingzi looked serious: "According to tradition, when establishing a Taoist lineage, you need to invite Taoist friends from all sides to watch the ceremony. There is no need to mention the Phoenix Blood Palace and Yaochi Fairyland. Should we send invitations to the Demon Eye and the Canghai Empire?"

Wu Tian said calmly: "Send it to them and tell them that if they don't give me face, I will come to their door in person in the future."

"Disciple accepts the order!"

After Tianyingzi left in a hurry, Wutan browsed through the information collected by Tiansheng Lake during this period of time.

This information is very complete, including the division of power in the Chaos Sea. Among them, the Four Temples are naturally at the top of the food chain in the Chaos Sea and are the only overlords.

As for the rest of the forces, there are at most a few Heavenly Rank warriors in the sect, and most of them are second-rate characters such as bandits and space pirates, who broke the law in other places and fled to the Chaos Abyss Sea.

As for the Four Gods Temple, Tiansheng Lake found out that this temple has been keeping a relatively low profile recently. Even though Gusu Star is so busy, it has never gotten involved.

But recently, there seems to be changes within the Four Temples. A large number of Four Temples believers have been dispatched secretly and have begun to "incorporate" the various forces in the Chaos Sea, suspected to be an attempt to unify the Chaos Sea.

Wu Tian got in touch with his main body and shared information.

……

"Low-key? Not surprisingly, the Four Gods Temple is short of manpower right now, so it must be low-key."

"But why did they suddenly start expanding and recruiting?"

"Has Wu Zhou Zhen arrived? Or has he awakened?"

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself.

“Who cares? He’d better come.” Hela snorted coldly, “Have your clone send an invitation to the Four Temples and see if they dare to accept it!”

"Good idea!" Ji Jingqiu suddenly frowned, "Establishing a religion and preaching in a month... Is this thing reliable?"

"There's no need to hesitate about this!"

Hela said decisively,
"You are taking advantage, and a big advantage. To establish a religion and preach, you must enter the ancestral hall!"

“Once you enter the Patriarch’s Hall, your position in the universe will be second only to Shouzhen and Wufa in Tiansheng Lake!”

"To be honest, I don't know why Shouzhen trusts you so much. He could have paid other prices and let you assist Tiansheng Lake in establishing a religion and preaching, instead of first teaching you the Supreme Dharma and then letting you enter the Patriarch's Hall as the leader of a religion in the universe. I would believe you even if you said you were his illegitimate son!"

Ji Jingqiu was a little surprised. Is the value of this religion so great?
It seems that he still underestimated the significance of this identity.

"Master Shouzhen... Grandmaster, you still have good vision." Ji Jingqiu affirmed.

Hila sneered and said, “You’d better be careful, lest you fall into Shouzhen’s trap quietly and never escape.”

Ji Jingqiu suddenly said: "Come to think of it, I inherited the supreme law of the Unrivaled Saint, right?"

Hila whispered, “Have you forgotten the [Lawlessness]? Although this is not the supreme law and has no corresponding Dao fruit, the significance of this magical power to Shouzhen may be even greater than his supreme law!”

"What do you mean?"

Hila was silent for a moment, then whispered, “This method may be related to Shouzhen’s future path to transcendence.”

Ji Jingqiu was shocked and said, "This magical power is the root of his transcendence?!"

Hela said slowly:
"This magical power is truly famous not because of its truthfulness, but because of its impossibility."

“In the past, he was unable to enter the realm of True Saints. He used this magical power in conjunction with [Wu Ji] to fight against an ancient person in the realm of True Saints. While the magical power lasted, he actually always had the upper hand. In the end, he shocked all the worlds and became famous in one battle.”

"Later, due to an accident, outsiders learned that this magical power actually originated from Shou Zhen!"

"And the most disturbing thing is that Shouzhen has never used this magical power so far."

"Can you imagine that a being who has reached the level of a True Saint by following the rules has created a magical power like [Lawlessness] that is determined to break all boundaries and barriers..."

"What does he want to do?"

“The answer is not hard to guess.”

Ji Jingqiu was silent for a long time. He originally thought that the harvest from Tiansheng Lake was [Xing Wu Ji], but he never thought that [Lawless] might be even better than the former.

"Divine power of enlightenment?"

Ji Jingqiu suddenly thought of something and asked Hela,

"Which path to enlightenment did Master He take in the past?"

Master Mu’s attempt to shoulder the weight of the sea of ​​suffering can be roughly viewed as the sea of ​​suffering in harmony with the Tao.

Which path did Master Na He take back then?
Hila was silent for a moment, and her expression was solemn and a little bit serious that Ji Jingqiu had never seen before...

Palpitations?

"Ten thousand years ago, He Donghuang attempted to prove his truth with force..."

"What we find most incomprehensible is that he is so close to success!"

"So much so that for a long time, we all thought this was the most orthodox way to attain enlightenment!"

Ji Jingqiu murmured: "Use strength to prove the truth..."

He suddenly asked, "What happened next? Why did Master He fail? Was it the obstruction of the True Saints of the various realms? Or was it the actions of our Zhou people?!"

Hela was silent for a long time again, and then she whispered in a confused voice in an incomprehensible and strange tone:
"I don't seem to remember clearly..."

"It seems that... He Donghuang gave up the road on his own initiative?"

"Strange... How could I not remember something like this?"

"My clone has incomplete memories? Or did the original body erase them on purpose?"

Looking at Hila, who looked lost and confused, Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked:

"Besides Master He, who was the last True Saint to attempt to break through the True Saint realm and enter the realm of transcendence?"

At present, it has been confirmed that the only ones who have attempted to transcend are Master He and Master Mu, and the other five pillars above them.

But in between?

In this vast period of history, is it possible that no one has ever attempted to transcend?

After a long silence, Hela gave the answer softly. She also realized that something was wrong.

"It's the five pillars..."

"After that, until the appearance of He Donghuang and Mu Shitian, no True Saint attempted to break through the Transcendental Realm."

"Or maybe...it once existed, but the history has been lost."

Hila took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Wuzhou beside her, her expression changing.

She is not sure whether there is something wrong with her memory. After all, strictly speaking, she is just a clone, not the main body.

This body of Wu Zhou was extremely incomplete, and she created it with her own hands. Nothing could be hidden from her, and she also had no relevant memories.

"Ji Jingqiu, you now have another reason to take down Luanyuan Haiwuzhou."

Hela said word by word.

"Capture Him. I want to see if His memory is consistent with mine!"
