Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 36: Even though the light has gone out, the lamp remains

Beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead.

Zhang Chongba wiped the sweat from his head and was sweating profusely.

Use Pan Ding to lead others into Samadhi. Even if you lose some of your mental energy in guiding others into Samadhi, you should not be unable to sustain Pan Ding.

Who would believe this if it got out?

His second uncle had previously said that Qiu was very talented in spiritual practice, and he agreed.

After all, those who can ignite the fire in their hearts during the body-building period are either simply lucky or extremely talented in spiritual practice.

But no matter how talented you are, you can’t “swim” for four hours your first time in the sea!

Just when Zhang Chongba was about to reach the end of his rope, he suddenly perked up and felt the fluctuations of his mind returning quickly.

Ok……

It was not that it was forced back after being exhausted, but that it came back on its own, which proves that it still has spare strength.

After realizing this, Zhang Chongba felt fortunate that he had not lost face, but at the same time, he also felt a little regretful.

The depth you first step into will become the first coordinate that the warrior anchors in the sea of ​​​​the soul.

When you enter the ocean of mind again, you can directly lock the coordinates and save time wasting on the periphery.

If you want to anchor the coordinates in the future, the price you pay will be very high.

Of course, even if Ji Jingqiu persisted, the difference would not be that big.

Anyway, I can't hold on for much longer...

It's just the difference of a few seconds early or late.

Even if Ji Jingqiu didn't come back by then, I would have to drag him back just in case.

It was the first time we went deep into the area and there was no one to help us, so the risk of getting lost was too great.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu waking up, Old Master Yang couldn't wait to ask:
"How is it, have you entered the shallow area?"

Zhang Chongba thought that his second uncle was talking complete nonsense.

Four hours!

Even if you take three steps forward and one step back, and get lost again, you should reach the shallow area!

If there are no twists and turns on the road and you walk faster, there is a high probability that you will reach the deep area.

Hey, I entered the deep area of ​​the spiritual ocean the first time I went into the sea...

The future rising star who was praised to the sky by the old guys in the Taoist temple, after comprehending the true essence of the [Dragon and Tiger Wind and Cloud Diagram], went deep into the spiritual ocean for the first time. With the protection of two gods, it only took him two hours to reach the shallow area.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chongba suddenly became thoughtful.

I don't know what my martial arts talent is like...

Ji Jingqiu gradually came back to his senses.

According to Master Yang——

The outside is bottomless and dark.

In the shallow area, a faint fluorescence can be seen in the distance.

When you reach the deep area, lines will appear under your feet, with molten light flowing on them, guiding warriors into the abyss.

As for the current limit of human exploration - the Abyss, it is the place where the kingdom of the federal gods is located.

Ji Jingqiu didn't speak in a hurry.

Being deep in the water for four hours at a time made it difficult for him to recover for a while. It was as if a gap appeared between his body and spirit, similar to the delay of a game character.

While he was adapting, he was also sorting out the last image he saw in his mind.

Seeing that he had not yet come to his senses, Master Yang and Zhang Chongba tacitly agreed not to disturb him any further.

When you enter the ocean of your mind for the first time, it is easy to see something strange and bizarre.

Over the years, there have been many warriors who have gone crazy and insane because of seeing things that were too strange and beyond their comprehension.

Ji Jingqiu recalled the last scene he saw, and was filled with doubts. Was that towering old tree real or an illusion?
If it is true, why would such a magnificent towering tree suddenly wither, and even the kingdom of God rooted in it die?

And if it is true, wouldn’t I have stepped into the abyss?
Soon, Ji Jingqiu put all these questions aside.

He thought of his little Bodhi tree.

His own small Bodhi tree is the prototype of the magical power of martial arts that accompanies the visualization method of the Fire House Buddha Prison.

The method of visualizing the Buddha's Hell in Fire House is not exclusive to him, but was passed down from Grandpa Mu.

Could the Bodhi tree rooted in the ocean of the mind be cultivated by other warriors who practice the visualization diagram of the Buddha's Hell in Fire House?
Thinking of this possibility, Ji Jingqiu was filled with envy.

How much fertilizer did the person feed to be able to cultivate the Bodhi tree so that it could connect the sky to the earth and transform it from pure land into the kingdom of God?
I really want to know who that senior is, what realm he is in, his mental state, or a master of heaven and man?
What concerned Ji Jingqiu the most was why the Bodhi tree withered in an instant.

This fleeting change gave him the illusion that withering was the true nature, and that the lush branches and leaves and the majestic kingdom of God that he had seen earlier were the glory of the past that no longer existed.

Although the light has gone out, the lamp still remains.

That's roughly what it means.

Ji Jingqiu let out a breath slowly.

Does this also mean that one day in the future, my own Bodhi tree will be able to support a piece of divine pure land?
After the sense of separation between his mind and body disappeared, Ji Jingqiu simply stretched his muscles.

"I should have entered the deep area." Ji Jingqiu made his judgment.

Hearing Ji Jingqiu's words, Master Yang smiled and nodded. Zhang Chongba smiled with relief, feeling that he had not been exploited in vain.

With his coordinates set in the deep area, Ji Jingqiu was destined to make progress in spiritual practice far beyond his peers.

This is winning at the starting line!
Ji Jingqiu was not sure whether he had set foot in the Abyss. Theoretically, no warrior could set foot in the Abyss the first time he entered the Sea of ​​Mind, unless he was chosen by a true god.

But he did see the fierce light in the deep area.

Those are not so much lines as traces or marks.

"Water pressure, firewood? You saw that on the forum, right?"

Hearing Ji Jingqiu's question about the ocean of the mind, Zhang Chongba said in a low voice,
"This thing has many different names, it all depends on the individual. I've heard some people call it 'nothingness', believing that when the mind is calm, everything is like nothingness, while when the mind is agitated, nothingness is like the mundane world.

Some people say that this is a kind of "loneliness", and believe that it is to use the heart lamp to dispel loneliness and coldness, and achieve the goal of leaving the world and escaping, and finally become a beast or a god. "

"No matter which one it is, it actually depends on the attitude of the warriors themselves, and how they view the sea of ​​​​mind and spiritual practice."

“There is no fixed answer to this, but it can all be seen as a way to sharpen one’s mind.”

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be thinking about something.

Master Yang said, "Let's go and have dinner first. I still have many things to tell you about at the dinner table."

Having said this, Ji Jingqiu realized that he was already starving.

The three of them walked towards the cafeteria. At this time, Luo Xi and Zhang Xingshan had already finished their meal and were reviewing the feeling of meditation they had in the morning on the training ground.

At the dinner table, the three of them were eating quickly. Master Yang told Ji Jingqiu not to try to enter the sea of ​​the soul in the next few days, but to wait for the lamp of his heart to consume all the accumulated firewood.

In the afternoon, Zhang Chongba found an excuse and left to recover his mental strength.

No one in Tai'an City knew that Li Buyi would come to them, so he needed to maintain peak combat strength at all times.

The one who replaced him was Leng Dao.

Leng Dao brought some gifts and visited the old owner Yang.

Facing Ji Jingqiu's question, Leng Dao thought for a moment and said:
"I can't tell you what it is, because this question is meaningless to me. Anyway, the right thing to do is to practice.

But I can tell you what you can get out of it.”

Leng Dao held the blade horizontally and slowly pulled out an inch of the blade.

The moment the long sword was unsheathed, Ji Jingqiu faintly heard the roars of dragons and tigers. A cold air instantly filled the air and the room temperature dropped unexpectedly.

This knife seemed not to be a cold weapon, but a living thing, housing an uplifting and immortal spirit, trembling slightly, resonating with his heartbeat.

Leng Dao said word by word:

“When the heart lamp is at its brightest, the God within can be seen.”
