Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Ji Anyu suddenly said, "What's the situation with this Great Martial Arts Competition? I heard it's completely different from the past?"

"Are you asking for Ji Jingqiu?" Ji Anquan smiled, "I haven't paid much attention, but it is indeed completely different. The qualifiers a few days ago were already a sign."

"Hm... to speak frankly, this time in the Great Martial Arts Competition, contestants will delve deep into the Nine States."

"Delve into the Nine States?" Ji Anyu was visibly shaken, "Isn't it said that the Federation has just started exploring?"

"The Federation has sent out Heavenly Human Martial Artists, and so far, the exploration has gone very deep," Ji Anquan chuckled, "The Federation has already started attempting to establish bases and communicate with multiple major forces. This Great Martial Arts Competition will become part of multifaceted exchanges."

"To be honest, rather than worrying about the Great Martial Arts Competition, we should worry about next month," Ji Anquan suddenly said, "Next month there will be an exchange competition. I don't know if Ji Jingqiu will be selected."

"Exchange competition?" Ji Anyu was surprised, "An exchange competition with other forces by Dragon Tiger Dojo?"

He thought to himself, which force lacks foresight to choose this time for an exchange competition with Dragon Tiger Dojo?

"It's not." Ji Anquan said calmly, "It's an exchange competition between the Federation and a few neighboring good friends."

"The Federation and... who did you say?!"

Ji Anyu's expression was one of shock.

...

...

After finishing the communication with Master Yang.

Ji Jingqiu adjusted his condition and entered a meditative state. He then used his Spirit Ocean as a transit station to return to Buddha Country and contacted Bone Arhat.

[Ji]: Senior Gu, my cultivation body progress has reached 96%.

[Bone Arhat]: The Arhat Fruit has already been packed and is on its way!

Ji Jingqiu silently praised, Senior Gu was indeed reliable... That's what being supportive is all about!

[Ji]: Thank you, Senior!

[Bone Arhat]: It's a small matter! Additionally, for the next month, try not to come to Buddha Country!

[Ji]: Is there a special situation?

[Bone Arhat]: The New Law Sect has scrutinized all followers in the central region in the past few days but didn't find whom they were looking for. To be cautious, you should avoid entering Buddha Country during this time to prevent any corresponding records from being discovered.

Ji Jingqiu contemplated, entering Buddha Country would result in corresponding records? Which could then be sifted and tracked by the Supreme True Buddha Sect?

[Ji]: Got it.

[Bone Arhat]: I will send you a terminal number, during this time you can contact me through the terminal. Also, my teacher would very much like to meet you!

[Ji]: Your teacher is?

[Bone Arhat]: He is the leader and pillar of our Ancient Method Sect. Rest assured, we will not harm you. If you are worried, we can meet later through terminal projection. Of course, not at the moment.

Projection meeting... That shouldn't be a problem.

[Ji]: Okay, I would also like to visit your teacher.

[Bone Arhat]: Great! Rest assured, we won't disappoint you!

Ji Jingqiu blinked, shouldn't that be his own line?

After a brief chat, Bone Arhat congratulated Ji Jingqiu for securing the top spot in the selection competition.

Then, without waiting for Ji Jingqiu to find an excuse to leave, such as taking a bath or sleeping... Bone Arhat actively urged him to leave Buddha Country and cultivate diligently.

After ending the call with Bone Arhat.

Having not come for nearly a week, looking at the True Buddha sitting in the distance at the center, Ji Jingqiu felt an inexplicable sense of tranquility rise in his heart.

Compared to Hel, the True Buddha was much more lovable.

After the selection competition concluded, the Divine Lord personally intervened, acting as the mediator between him and Hel.

Hel's purpose was very simple, encapsulated in the word "cooperation."

She hoped to use Ji Jingqiu to weaken the other Wilderness Three Demons, so everyone could return to the same starting line.

Thus.

Hel was happy.

The Federation was happy.

The Divine Lords were happy.

Ji Jingqiu was also happy.

As for whether the Three Demons would be happy, that was not within their consideration.

If you're not in the group chat, you have no right to speak.

But to be honest... even with the Divine Lord as a guarantor, Ji Jingqiu still couldn't help but be on guard.

Because Hel's very existence is extremely twisted.

Dealing with her, one misstep and you could fall into the abyss.

Senior Zhuang was an example.

The way this guy fulfills your requests is in itself twisted.

For example, if you wish to her to no longer be lonely, she wouldn't send you a loved one, but would slap you dead instead, and a dead person naturally wouldn't feel loneliness.

Or say, you wish for peace in the Federation, world peace, then the way she might realize it could be similar to wiping out all humankind - if she doesn't have the power at the moment, then this cause and effect would twist into "natural disaster."

In such a case, how could one cooperate with her?

In this regard, the Divine Lord's answer was:

— There need not be, nor will there be, so-called trust between him and Hel. Between them can only exist "temporary cooperation under the same goal."

Simply put,

Strive together for the same goal!

Cooperate and win together for the same dream!

Then Ji Jingqiu asked a question.

Why does Hel think she can weaken the other Wilderness Three Demons?

Is it merely based on his own still undeveloped, weak, pitiable, and helpless Bodhi sapling?

Then he has only one request, before that, please let his Bodhi sapling have a full meal.

No other implications, just in case of accidents, at least he can die with a full belly.

As for how full the Bodhi sapling can eat in one sitting...

Ji Jingqiu didn't know.

After that, Ji Jingqiu still remembers Hel's look of seeing an idiot, seemingly saying do you think I'm stupid?

What an utter humiliation.

Hel did not answer his question but told him a meaningful sentence.

[Once you safely surpass the last calamity before the Reverse Innate, our cooperation will truly take effect.]
