Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

The so-called Tian Qiuzi is naturally Ji Jingqiu.

Using the Formless Heavenly Demon Technique, he drifted unknowingly through the Spirit Ocean to some unknown place.

As for his identity at the Heavenly Saint Lake, it was something he made up. He didn't know much about the forces within the Three Thousand Yanfutu, but he did get some information from Tianqingzi of the Heavenly Saint Lake the last time.

The original purpose was to stabilize everyone, since at that time his Divine Embryo was still developing, and his physical body was not formed. If everyone had acted, it would have been difficult to handle.

Especially since the talisman in Han Qingxun's hand earlier gave him a sense of danger.

After all, this is the Three Thousand Yanfutu, a region with extremely high limits.

According to Ji Jingqiu's knowledge—

In some small realms, a Heavenly Person is the supreme God, acting on behalf of Heaven, with words that can become the law of the world.

But in some vast Great Realms, there are many Heavenly Kings, even experts at the level of Heavenly Venerable.

So it's better to stay low-key when necessary, especially when not yet restored to peak strength.

Once Ji Jingqiu's physical body was initially stabilized, and he had the confidence to resolve his troubles, Han Qingxun extended an invitation to him.

Upon hearing "Cosmic Light Fragments," although unclear about what exactly it entailed, Ji Jingqiu readily agreed.

Because the words "Cosmic Light" not only refer to the universe but also have implications of time.

Along the way, Han Qingxun took the initiative to invite Ji Jingqiu to travel together.

The two occupied the main positions, surrounded by others.

From the simple arrangement of positions, one could discern the clear hierarchy.

Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, the identity of a disciple of the Heavenly Saint Lake is indeed useful.

At the same time, Ji Jingqiu was asking Lady La in his heart if their escape route was secure.

"Rest assured, the biggest trait of the Formless Heavenly Demon Technique is being shapeless and formless, not tainted by karma. As long as you don't provoke a Heavenly Venerable, if you want to abandon your physical body and escape, even a Heavenly King cannot stop you."

Ji Jingqiu immediately felt assured; even if his identity was exposed in the upcoming journey, he wasn't afraid.

The pity was that currently, compared to the Great Universe, his physique was weakened by more than forty percent, causing his realm of Unity of Heaven and Man to drop as well.

Suppressing a Heavenly Person was almost impossible and would be merely struggling to contend.

However...

Ji Jingqiu glanced around.

Dealing with Heart Images was still a piece of cake.

"May I ask, which lineage does Brother Tian Qiu belong to?"

On the road, Han Qingxun continued to probe.

Ji Jingqiu casually fabricated. Organizations as massive as the Heavenly Saint Lake, with its intricate and numerous relationships, even people from the same organization couldn't fully understand, so Han Qingxun naturally had no reason to know everything.

When Han Qingxun heard that Ji Jingqiu came from humble beginnings and was only admitted into the Taoist Inheritance after being recognized by his master, and had been diligently cultivating until he was recently sent out for training, he was shocked.

Ji Jingqiu was also selected from the Lower Realm?

No wonder just a glimpse of his physique or spirit showed that he far surpassed his peers!

Knowing Ji Jingqiu was just like him, Han Qingxun felt slightly more favorable.

Similar to True Saint Dojos, such enormous entities do not govern just one realm under their command.

Among them, various lineage forces are extremely complex because behind each strong person, a large family can evolve. Over countless years of accumulation, their "fortunes" are immeasurable.

Within the dojo, most spots are already monopolized by "members of the family."

The remaining spots are reserved for those true "Qilin Sons" born within their territories or some talented individuals brought by masters.

Like Han Qingxun, who also went through layers of selection, picked from the "Lower Realm" of the dojo, unlike those from prestigious families, he could only rise through his own talent.

At this moment, Han Qingxun couldn't help but say with emotion:

"Brother Tian Qiu, you and I, though not as destined as those Sons of Heavenly Destiny, are still somewhat fortunate men."

"Cosmic Light Fragments are extremely rare, and those that can be explored are even fewer. Moreover, each fragment has different entry restrictions. This time, the Cosmic Light Fragment can accommodate up to Heart Image, and it's very unstable, possibly self-destructing at any moment."

"This time, we happened to be nearby, just in time to catch it. Those distant fellow disciples don't have the same luck as us."

Ji Jingqiu smiled and nodded in agreement.

Through indirect inquiring and consulting with Lady La, Ji Jingqiu understood what the so-called Cosmic Light Fragments were.

Cosmic Light Fragments surpass ordinary broken planes and worlds by several levels because they are "Time Relics" fallen from the Time River.

And those decaying into the Time River's plane relics are either some high-ranking Heaven and Earth worlds or Supreme beings who forcefully rushed into the Time River and ultimately perished, with their Inner Heaven and Earth falling into the river, eroding over time, finally "spitting" out parts of it.

Either way, they contain great opportunities within them.

Even disregarding these opportunities, as Cosmic Light Fragments, the Time Dao Rhyme they contain is something countless Martial Artists dream of.

These things are what Heavenly Person Perfection and above Martial Artists are most interested in.

Below Heavenly Person Perfection, not to say they're of little use, but more accurately — a waste.

"It is said that in certain special Cosmic Light Fragments, derived from the Time River itself, lies the possibility of past and future." Someone among the travelers spoke with hopeful eyes.

"Oh? What does that mean?" Ji Jingqiu looked on curiously.

The person added, "They say life has all sorts of possibilities, that one choice can lead to different futures, but most futures are converged by the Time River, with occasional fragments falling that even include powers and people identical to those in the outside world."

Isn't this the multiverse concept?

Ji Jingqiu's thoughts raced internally; could these so-called Cosmic Light Fragments be tributaries of the Time River, some parts intercepted and eventually falling into the mundane world?
