Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Accompanied by the farewell from the Great Red Sky Palace, Ji Jingqiu arrived at the old territory of the Canglang Jin Family.

This place had already been transformed into a stronghold jointly by the Federation and the Great Red Sky Palace.

Ji Jingqiu first greeted Aunt Mu and recalled the stele he had seen in the courtyard earlier, inevitably curious about whether Marshal He only loved one person in the past, or several beauties.

He struggled to suppress the gossipy soul within his heart and chatted with Aunt Mu about the happenings in recent years.

Regarding his affairs, Mu Qing had actually learned from others long ago, feeling both relieved and amazed at Ji Jingqiu's rapid advancement, unlike the past He, who repeatedly encountered "changes of human hearts."

However, after hearing about Ji Jingqiu's recent experience, Mu Qing fell silent, and after a moment, she said:

"Ji Tianxing indeed often does things like this, and He had severed ties with him several times back then. I thought you might encounter such schemes in others' hands, but I didn't expect it would be Ji Tianxing personally setting a trap."

Severed ties several times...

Ji Jingqiu was a bit lost, wondering if these two words could really go together.

"Those two back then..." Mu Qing thought for a while but eventually found no precise words to describe Ji Tianxing and He's relationship.

"Back then, He could dominate the south of the Nine States, forcing the forces of other states to unite against his invasion, and Ji Tianxing played a significant role in this."

"That guy possesses the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart; whether in martial arts, strategy, or warfare... he is all-powerful."

About the past events, Mu Qing briefly explained a few examples.

Ji Jingqiu noticed that besides admiration, Aunt Mu's tone carried more apprehension.

"Faced with Marshal Ji's machinations, how did Marshal He respond?" Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but ask.

"Hit back." Mu Qing said calmly.

Ji Jingqiu nodded seriously, learning a lesson from those before him.

"Are those few heavenly medicines you have already cultivated ready? Are you going to plant them on the East Three Bright Star?"

Mu Qing inquired.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, planning to take them back to the Great Universe this time.

After bidding farewell to Aunt Mu, Ji Jingqiu carried a "peach tree" and stashed two "strange flowers," preparing to take his leave.

Before leaving.

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and asked Aunt Mu, "Aunt Mu, do you know who intervened when Marshal He attempted his breakthrough in the Three Thousand Yanfu?"

"I don't know this; perhaps Gu Tatian knows something; he has been investigating the main cause of He's failed breakthrough for ten thousand years."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, bid farewell again, and returned to the Great Universe.

After coming out of the East Three Bright Star's passage, the guarding Daoist Bai Lu was slightly startled, instinctively looking in a specific direction and then gazing at Ji Jingqiu with a peculiar expression.

Two Ji Jingqius?

Ji Jingqiu chuckled and greeted Master Bai Lu, quickly making his way toward his true body.

Upon returning to the Great Universe, this physical body showed signs of uncontrollable self-collapse, as two "true bodies" cannot coexist in one life.

He immediately returned to his real body, with the Spiritual Holy Embryo carrying the Divine Embryo back to his true body, while this physical body transformed into the purest Qi and blood of the origin, merging into his true self.

In an instant, his aura surged up, reaching a peak before slowly receding.

As the physical body's transformation gradually settled, the turmoil of the inner Heaven and Earth calmed, leading to an increasing integration of spirit and body!

This left Ji Jingqiu somewhat speechless.

For Heart Image Warriors, upon reaching the step of heart and body unity, the physical body's strength is basically set, hard to increase significantly.

Yet, for him, there seemed to be no upper limit.

It was like a barrel, successfully completing heart and body unity by filling it with water, yet he continued to raise the height of the barrel while filling it.

He closed his eyes and began to review his gains this time, realizing the greatest gain was experiencing Hel's Dao, which made him comprehend his True Self and once again approach the Dharma Realm.

Slowly.

Ji Jingqiu's aura vanished from this planet.

This phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of Bai Lu and others.

"What is this..."

At this moment, they could not perceive Ji Jingqiu's aura or signs of life; this situation was entirely different from merging with Heaven and Earth, a deeper level of disappearance.

Or rather, harmonization.

For Ji Jingqiu, he felt himself deeply immersed in a void realm, at the boundary between existence and disappearance.

Yet, he was more acutely aware of his essence will than ever before, a nearly indestructible essence!

As if originating from Innate Void, and returning to Innate Void.

"Void Nature, Primordial True Unity..."

Various insights flowed like a gentle stream through Ji Jingqiu's heart.

Although doubts and confusion still lingered, there was an inner sense of enlightenment, as if breaking through the void and perceiving the True Self.

A saying surfaced in Ji Jingqiu's mind:

From True Void arises wondrous existence.

This referred to the seemingly empty realm containing endless creation and potential.

And the latter is "Tao."

Ji Jingqiu slowly opened his eyes.

His aura, accompanying his opening eyes, immediately filled every corner of this star, omnipresent and omnipotent.

As long as he wished, he could now appear in any corner of the East Three Bright Star at will.

Because his spirit had ascended to encompass the entire East Three Bright Star.

"You already possess some traits of a Grandmaster," Hel said.

She was not surprised by Ji Jingqiu's progress, as after he had comprehended the presence of the True Self, it was naturally achieved.

Meanwhile.

Ji Jingqiu felt the progress of his heart and body unity begin to slowly rise at this moment.
