Becoming a god starts from planting a Bodhi tree.

Chapter 77 We have been waiting for a long time (Please order first!!!)
"Hello, Cheetah Express is dedicated to serving you, please remember to give us a five-star rating, dear!"

Ji Jingqiu did not follow the starling to join in the fun.

He stood at the intersection, and finally the "offering" from the Supreme Buddha Sect arrived.

Password and signature are done in one go.

Just as he was about to go back and enjoy the offerings, suddenly a flame shot up into the sky in the distance.

He looked in the direction of the light.

The downward position was roughly confirmed.

It seems that it was Myna who asked him to give the coordinates of the people in Xingchen Group...

Do starlings play so wildly?

Ji Jingqiu was a little stunned. He thought that Myna would take action himself and use his cultivation level of the Shackles Realm to deal with the two wandering warriors.

Shaking his head, Ji Jingqiu went back to the house.

After closing the door.

Ji Jingqiu opened the express package and found a special metal box inside. It was completely round and had no gaps at all.

After asking Li Buyi, he learned that this was a special container used to seal the holy objects to prevent the aura of the holy objects from leaking out.

The relevant security inspection equipment could not find out what was inside.

The way to open it is rather special. If violence is used, it will only cause a large-scale spiritual pollution.

Ji Jingqiu followed Li Buyi's steps and opened the container, where a jade Buddha lay quietly.

Ji Jingqiu took it out carefully and stroked it gently. The fire in his heart sent out warnings as usual, but the Bodhi tree's emotions suddenly became high and kept sending him signals of "desire".

He did not hesitate too much. In order to prevent the aura of the holy object from being lost, he decisively held the jade Buddha and entered the inner world.

As the branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree swayed as if cheering for him, Ji Jingqiu buried the blood-colored jade Buddha essence under the roots of the tree.

While waiting for the Bodhi tree to sprout, Ji Jingqiu pulled Fat Tiger over and gave it a short break.

Fat Tiger also stared at the Bodhi tree that was beginning to grow rapidly with curiosity.

This time, the Bodhi tree no longer starts to grow from branches and leaves, but from the roots.

In the blink of an eye, the roots of the tree were like dragons, deeply embedded in the ground, the bark cracked and was as vigorous as dragon scales, and the branches stretched out like a coiled dragon.

Finally, the leaves began to sway, increasing from twenty-two to thirty-six...

The pure land spread to thirty-six feet and then slowly stopped.

Ji Jingqiu could feel that the power contained in the jade Buddha had not yet been completely absorbed.

But the Bodhi tree stopped absorbing energy, as if it had touched some unknown bottleneck. It raised its branches and leaves, pointing to the sky.

Ji Jingqiu looked in the direction indicated by the Bodhi tree.

The blood rain seemed to be more violent than usual.

The world outside the Pure Land is the result of his own suffering.

But now, he clearly felt that something was invading above his head.

That is a sea.

Boundless.

Intangible and qualityless.

Yet it really exists and covers all living beings.

The sea of ​​suffering in all ages.

Ji Jingqiu understood the cause and effect in an instant.

The growth of the Bodhi tree has reached the first stage. In addition to the power of the mind, it also needs to be watered by the water of the sea of ​​suffering.

Its final destination should be to take root in the sea of ​​suffering and protect all living beings from falling into it.

Unless Ji Jingqiu is willing that the Bodhi tree will stay here forever, it is inevitable to lead the sea of ​​suffering into the inner scene and water the Bodhi.

But...is he really able to bear the weight of the sea of ​​suffering alone?
Not long ago, Big Brother told him a secret. Mu Shuai, who was already a supreme grandmaster and might even be even better, disappeared mysteriously at the peak of his powers. It was rumored that he wanted to shoulder the burden of suffering for all living beings by himself, but ultimately failed...

Ji Jingqiu looked at the shadow of the boundless sea of ​​suffering above his head.

It is difficult to tell whether this rumor is true or not, but it can explain some problems.

Even now, with the sea of ​​suffering hanging above the sky without falling, he felt tremendous pressure.

Ji Jingqiu thought, in fact, from Mu Lao's reaction, he could realize that not everyone could practice the [Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Diagram] to the current level like him.

Perhaps throughout the generations of the Mu family, there have been only a few people who have achieved this.

The key lies in the Bodhi tree.

He recalled the first time he entered the ocean of the mind and the towering Bodhi tree he saw, connecting the sky to the earth.

If one day, my Bodhi tree could grow like this... then even if I haven't become a god yet, I won't be far away, right?
Ji Jingqiu made a decision quickly.

The Bodhi tree is one of the foundations of his martial arts. He cannot abandon it, let alone stop here.

He asked the Bodhi tree what he needed to do.

The Bodhi tree’s answer was extremely simple: continue living as before.

live...

It's that simple?
It doesn’t seem easy either.

But it coincides with what I want.

Ji Jingqiu had made up his mind and no longer hesitated.

The branches and leaves of the Bodhi tree swayed, casting a hazy and clear light, and once again conveyed a message to Ji Jingqiu:

Those who wish to save all living beings should be saved by all living beings.

Ji Jingqiu was confused at first.

at this time.

The wonderful resonance from the other side of the starry sky came again with incredible clarity.

This feeling seemed to start from the distant deep space, spanning countless light years, passing through the long night and heavy fog, and finally arriving at this moment, with a ray of light coming down from the sky.

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes.

At this moment, he left the inner world, looked through the window, across the dark sky, and saw the shining stars that could not be obscured and highlighted the horizon.

There is also a bright light rising from the star cluster that is invisible to ordinary people!

It was as if countless stars, competing to shine, lit up, overlapped, and intertwined on the other side of the deep space, outlining clear lines and revealing solemn contours.

They are gods one after another.

They are in the kingdom of God that lies across the abyss, and now they appear in the mortal world and cast their gaze here.

Ethereal, sacred, sublime, pure...

It is magnificent and beyond words.

The low hum that came across countless light years reached Ji Jingqiu's ears.

The sound is very soft.

But it is filled with a strong pressure and heat that makes your heart beat faster.

They said—

[We have been waiting for a long time]

……

……

Heartland.

The temple of the four gods.

A man in white priest clothing had a gentle smile, and behind him was a group of chattering children in uniform.

"The official name of God is 'the unified human thought'."

"They have no physical form, existing in the void network. They can only rely on the faith and wishes of believers to condense their incarnations and manifest themselves in the world."

"In fact, most gods do not have clear minds. They are easily swept away by the beliefs and wishes of sentient beings, and their consciousness falls into ignorance and chaos..."

The children gathered around him, listening to his explanation, seemingly understanding nothing.

Suddenly someone pointed to the front and asked curiously, "Teacher, why don't they have faces?" and looked in the direction the child pointed.

There were four towering statues, representing the highest status in the federal god system, but the faces of the statues were blank, as if nothing had been written.

But this does not give people a sense of weirdness. Combined with its overall shape, it only gives people a sense of solemnity and sacredness.

The priest explained: "Because the gods have no form, they can be any one of us, or every ancestor who cared about the Federation and humanity in the past."

"Teacher! I heard that the Four Gods of the Federation were the four marshals back then. Is that true?" Another person raised his hand.

Hear the words.

The priest looked up, his eyes seeing through the layers of smoke curling around in the temple, and saw the four faceless statues.

He lowered his head and said solemnly:

“Yes, the origin core of the four gods of the Federation is the origin of the divine fire of the four marshals, and it was also their idea to make the statue faceless.

They all had the opportunity and qualifications to enjoy eternal power, but they all discarded it and chose to pave the way for future generations..."

"Teacher, is the Lord God the four marshals from that year?" a child raised his hand and asked.

Most of them did not understand what the priest said, but were more curious about the legends that sounded like myths.

The priest was silent for a moment, shook his head somewhat sadly, and said softly:

"They are no longer who they were."

During that long sacrifice, the will of all living beings was integrated into their origin. Even the most powerful divine fire of the origin would be infected and assimilated by the faith and wishes of all living beings.

Today it is today.

They are sentient beings.

And just then.

The four formless statues of gods shine brightly!

The priest in white looked outside the temple in astonishment.

There was a bright light behind him, just like countless twinkling lights, clustered together at this moment, like the sun.

As the only one of the Four Gods in the world, he could clearly sense the blazing expectations of the gods, which were fiery and profound.

But no matter how he asked, the gods never responded to him, but remained solemnly silent as always.

Is it...his successor?

……

Federal administrative capital.

As the administrative center of the federation, it is not located in the central area, but in the North 1 zone of the time zone.

On a quiet terrace, an old man squinted his eyes, enjoying the tranquility of afternoon tea.

Sitting here, you can have a panoramic view of the Presidential Executive Residence not far away. If you turn your head slightly, you can see the headquarters building of the Federal Central Security Administration.

The former is packed with people, while the latter is deserted. The gap is quite obvious.

The old man suddenly chuckled. He saw a car suddenly brake when it drove to the street where the Central Security Bureau was located, and then turned around.

This is the Central Security Bureau, a neurological agency that is known for suspecting that you have problems if you look at them for a few more seconds, and they will rush over to take you down with a serious face.

Sitting on a terrace not far away like the old man, staring at the headquarters building of the Security Agency, according to the standards of the Security Agency, he should at least be charged with espionage for prying into federal secrets.

But the old man obviously didn't care.

Because the department under his command is independent of any system, it can make the president give way when necessary, and it has the highest federal security level.

Even the security level possessed by the Central Security Bureau is ranked behind them.

For this reason, in the early days of the establishment of the Federation, the first director of the Security Bureau once slammed the table and shouted, "What kind of Security Bureau is this? Just give them the name!"
But the result is still inconclusive.

Whenever the old man thinks of this old news, he can't help feeling a little regretful.

He felt that if he were there, there would definitely be no Central Security Bureau now.

Slightly hurried footsteps came from behind.

The old man sighed, lamenting that his afternoon tea was about to end just as it had begun.

A middle-aged man walked quickly to his side, leaned over and whispered:
"Highest alert—"

"The Four Divine Lords, eleven Divine Lords appeared at the same time! The reason has not yet been found out! They rejected our contact, this is the second time in the history of the Federation!"

A trace of solemnity flashed across the old man's deep and calm eyes.

The four gods and eleven gods represent the entire system of gods that the Federation has built over ten thousand years.

Something major must have happened in some corner of this universe, which caused them to become unable to sit still after sensing it.

"Is there any movement in the Abyss?" the old man asked. "We can't contact those eleven, so what about the gods under their command?"

The middle-aged civil servant smiled bitterly, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes, and whispered:

"The abyss that was originally as dark as the deep sea has now been illuminated by the kingdom of the gods."

"In addition, all the gods under the command of these fifteen have appeared in the mortal world with them, silently gazing into the deep sky. We have made a comprehensive analysis based on the direction they are looking at, and the place they are looking at should be the Eastern District of the Federation!"

The old man frowned and asked, "What happened in the East District recently?"

"A master has recently emerged in the East 3 District." The middle-aged civil servant quickly replied, "It is also worth mentioning that a special event recently occurred on the East 3 Huangxing Star. This is the news brought back by Zhang Chongba and Leng Dao. You have read it before."

The old man was silent for a long time before he said, "Since this is the second time, when was the first time?"

"According to the records, it was the Mu family who teamed up with the Ministry of National Defense Research Institute to allow a ray of Mu Shuai's divine consciousness to reappear and bloom in the world!"

The old man nodded: "Then go contact the Ji family and ask if this matter may be related to He Shuai or Ji Shuai."

"go immediately."

“If the Ji family can’t explain it clearly, and the Four Directions Divine Masters don’t say a word about it afterwards, then this matter will be completely sealed up.” The old man said seriously, “To the outside world, we will say that the Four Directions Divine Masters have made a breakthrough, and the gods will congratulate them.”

"I see." The middle-aged civil servant asked again, "Is this also the explanation used by the Presidential Office and other departments of the same level?"

The old man said seriously: "We, the Administration, do not need to be responsible to any department, so naturally we do not need to answer to them."

The middle-aged civil servants were educated and left.

The old man glanced at the steamy teacup and lost interest in drinking tea.

The only thing that could have caused the four gods to come out collectively could be the manifestation of the other three marshals in the mortal world.

If he guessed correctly, then this matter would most likely become a headless incident, and the gods would remain silent as always and would not leak a single word.

The old man sighed.

The western rebels have reignited the war, and there must be funding from major companies and wealthy families behind them.

Tianlu, the place where the ocean of the mind meets reality, has also been plagued by problems recently, attracting the attention of masters from all sides.

Now, with the gods appearing on the same day...

What an eventful time.

……

……

Eleven dazzling figures that were too dazzling to look directly at took their seats one after another, supporting the illusory sea of ​​suffering on the sky.

As a wisp of the spirit of the God of Guards, Baihu is measuring this inner world.

These eleven deities, guided by the Bodhi tree, followed the original covenant to protect the second generation of "World Honored One".

But only there.

The seven marshals of the past were able to rise from obscurity, so the people they choose should be the same.

The Guardian God suddenly stopped, and a descendant holding a knife came from nowhere and ran up to him, put the knife down, took a step back, and looked at him expectantly.

The God of Guards lowered his head, not understanding what he meant.

This knife...

It seems to be the inheritance left by former coach He - [Eternal Sword].

To this day, it has undergone countless improvements by later generations, but its essence has never changed.

Hmm, the blade is not yet perfect, it's a little short of perfection...

Do you want Him to make up for it?
Looking at the chubby little guy in front of him, the God of Guards fell into deep thought rarely.
