Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

From Mu Rouzhi, Ji Jingqiu learned that she and another man and woman were selected by a senior female from the Cangqing Temple to become nominal disciples of the Cangqing Lineage.

Ji Jingqiu carefully inquired about the physical features of the other two.

Unexpectedly, Mu Rouzhi displayed the unique artistic talent of the Elf Clan, using suitable tree sap as ink to draw portraits of the other two individuals right in the forest.

At a glance, Ji Jingqiu recognized the short-haired woman in the drawing, Qin Qingjue.

The other man didn't leave much of an impression on him, but he seemed to have encountered him before entering the Po Suo Half-plane.

Three nominal disciples, two Federation Martial Artists...

Ji Jingqiu didn't know how to evaluate this.

Two days went by in the blink of an eye.

When it came time to part ways, Ji Jingqiu generously gave the girl half of the Life Flowers, moving her to tears.

To the girl, these Life Flowers would significantly improve the quality of her first soul awakening ceremony!

As for Ji Jingqiu, considering their value, these Life Flowers were far less important than the Water Moon Spirit Machine he had obtained.

Moreover, in five years' time, this Po Suo Half-plane would be at his disposal to take whatever he pleased.

After realizing the significance of these Life Flowers to Mu Rouzhi, Ji Jingqiu thought it over and, intending to keep some Life Flowers as gifts, he stuffed the rest into her arms.

To him, the Life Flowers would no longer greatly enhance his Bodhi Eye, so it made more sense to do a good turn and give them to her.

At the end, as the first phase of the Po Suo Half-plane came to a close.

All Martial Artists still in the Half-plane were retrieved by their respective civilizations back to their point of origin.

Stepping out of the passage.

Ji Jingqiu looked around; there weren't many Martial Artists in the area, just about thirty-something who had persisted until the last day.

"Jingqiu, over here!"

Ahead came the call of Diao Xingyun.

This guy had actually made it to the last day as well.

Accompanying him were Yin Wushuang and Yue Yourong.

"Handsome, make way, don't block the path."

A familiar gentle voice came from behind.

Without turning around, Ji Jingqiu knew it was a figure dressed in red.

"Eh, you also held out until the last day?" Ji Jingqiu turned around and saw Shi Xinwan's bulging backpack, chuckling, "A big harvest, eh?"

Shi Xinwan appeared to be in a great mood, smilingly said, "Call me 'sister' and I'll share half with you, if you really do, forget I said anything."

Ji Jingqiu rolled his eyes and together they walked toward Diao Xingyun and the others.

Halfway there, Ji Jingqiu suddenly felt something and looked back to see a young man standing amidst the crowd, casting a profound gaze upon him.

Ji Jingqiu narrowed his eyes, recognizing him as the second individual depicted in Mu Rouzhi's drawing.

He nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then turned back to meet his friends.

After a brief exchange, they all set off to return to Mu Juncheng's mansion.

During this time, Ji Jingqiu received a message from Qingyang Ancestor and had to temporarily part with his companions to meet with the Ancestor Master.

Upon arrival, he found that Shi was there as well.

"Junior Brother Ji!"

Shi Xuanzhen wore a smile, although he had not encountered Ji Jingqiu during the Half-plane quest, he had visited several resource-rich locations based on Ji Jingqiu's advice before the incident and found a lot of rare herbs, expecting to exchange them for many good items with Mu Family.

"Junior Brother Ji, when the exchange list comes, you select half."

Faced with Shi's kindness, Ji Jingqiu patted the package on his back, indicating that he too had reaped a big harvest, then grinned brightly:

"Senior Brother Shi, here's a little red flower for you."

As a Life Flower emerged in the palm of his hand, Shi Xuanzhen was moved:

"Junior brother, did you enter the Death Domain?!"

He had personally seen many Heavenly Pride Martial Artists silently die after venturing into the Death Domain to pick the Life Flowers at its center!

Thus, he solemnly refused, "This flower is too precious, junior brother, you better use it yourself or exchange resources with the Mu Family."

Ji Jingqiu explained, "I've already taken an excessive amount, so it's not very significant to me anymore. I deliberately left a few flowers to give to those close to me."

Taken an excessive amount?

Shi Xuanzhen was left speechless, unsure of what to say.

"A flower containing Life Intent, interesting, is this a unique product of the Po Suo Half-plane?" Long Qingyang commented on the side, "Taking it should enhance the Power of the Spirit, and indeed its effects would diminish if taken excessively."

Then, Long Qingyang once again focused on Ji Jingqiu, scrutinizing him from top to bottom and noticed that in just under ten days, Ji Jingqiu seemed to have undergone a transformation from the inside out.

"Jingqiu, strike me with your two strongest slashes," Long Qingyang said calmly while stroking his beard, "This old man wants to personally experience them."

The two strongest slashes?

That would be [All Laws are Void] and [A Sliver of Hope].

Without hesitancy, Ji Jingqiu drew his sword and delivered two consecutive slashes towards Long Qingyang.

The first slash fell, under which all laws were void, even containing a trace of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

The second slash sought a sliver of hope amidst Silent Annihilation, with such profound intent, it virtually paved a way straight to being a Heavenly Person!

After experiencing firsthand the Dharma and intent behind these slashes, even Long Qingyang could not help but express awe and found it hard to believe that Ji Jingqiu could comprehend these two slashes at this moment, which was utterly beyond comprehension.

"How far are you from Godseeing?" Long Qingyang asked after a moment's thought, "There's a Grandmaster's former residence in the dojo, left by an elder of our sect. His cultivation wasn't in the Sword Skill, but by drawing parallels, it should help you achieve Godseeing soon."

Ji Jingqiu replied, "I made a deal with Shi Xinwan of the Lion Heart Dao. She had a slot to visit Master Meng Pingchuan's residence which has now been transferred to me."
