Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Everywhere they went, the black mist shrank back, forcibly creating an empty space.

Ji Jingqiu looked speechlessly at the joyfully enthused person.

"Big Brother, you're really something! What kind of Divine Skill is this?"

Fortunately, Senluo maintained his senses and didn't venture too deep. After taking a few steps forward, he quickly turned back, grabbed Ji Jingqiu's shoulders, and shook him vigorously with excitement.

"I told you, you need to trust me more, how could I possibly let you down? The journey on the Ancient Road has just begun. Even after leaving the Ancient Road, the Dao that awaits us is just at the starting point. There's a lot of time ahead for you and me..."

Ji Jingqiu preached earnestly, as if a spring breeze was caressing one's face, seizing the moment to brainwash.

The pact can only be restricted during the duration on the Ancient Road, while Senior He, even after departing from the Ancient Road, his former supporters and followers still regarded him as their leader.

It was this network of connections that laid the foundation for his domination over the southern part of the Nine States in the years to come.

At this moment, even though Senluo, as a member of the Quasi-taboo Purple Crystal Clan and the foremost Heavenly Pride of his generation, was willingly nibbling on the grand vision of the future laid out by someone else.

No, what big vision? That was their glorious future!

Senluo rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll rest for a bit, then try to Breakthrough!"

"Are you sure you want to do it here? Aren't you afraid of being ambushed?" Ji Jingqiu asked, referring to the Chains Realm creature lurking unknown somewhere.

Senluo chuckled darkly, "If the guy hiding in the shadows really chooses this moment to attack me, then we could move in here in a couple of days! Crossing the Taboo threshold with the Ghostly Mist of the Nether Sea swirling around, it's not just the Chains, even if it were Heart Image, it would have to go through a trial just like me, this thing is selective in its 'prey!' Even Heavenly People face the risk of falling!"

Seeing that he was fully prepared, Ji Jingqiu no longer obstructed, and stood by as his protector.

Senluo chose a good spot, rested and adjusted for half a day, bringing himself to his peak condition.

After exchanging glances with Ji Jingqiu, he closed his eyes and began the final assault.

He had lingered in front of the Quasi-taboo threshold for half a year.

For him, challenging the threshold, although difficult, was more a 20/80 affair, the actual trouble lay in the test during the Breakthrough!

Ji Jingqiu symbolically protected him, watching as a dazzling and colorful light emitted from the Purple Crystal on the fellow's forehead. A pure Spiritual Position spread open, forming an invisible barrier that isolated Senluo from the outside world.

Ji Jingqiu watched with interest.

The Purple Crystal Clan was a first-rate civilization; in terms of bloodline heritage, they were theoretically at the pinnacle in the world. Compared to the top civilizations, first-rate civilizations only lacked in heritage and the number of powerful beings, not in heritage itself.

Senluo's cultivation in the Mental Realm was only just entering the Residence phase, but his use of the Power of the Spirit was no less than Ji Jingqiu's, stemming from his race's Innate Divine Ability.

Ji Jingqiu tried to comprehend the use of the Power of the Spirit contained within this position.

Until suddenly, the aura on Senluo surged, overwhelmingly rising, unstoppable, until it broke through some invisible limit, merging with the Heaven and Earth, becoming vast and boundless, yet also concentrated and profound.

At this moment, tiny cracks appeared around the space surrounding Senluo, like a shattered mirror, wisps of Ghostly Mist quietly penetrating outwards, interweaving with Senluo's Spiritual Position, and infiltrating his body.

The real celestial challenge of stepping into the Taboo threshold had just begun.

With this wisp of black mist appearing.

A certain strange movement seemed to diffuse all around.

Ji Jingqiu keenly noticed the anomaly and looked up.

The originally calm and waveless mist in front seemed to have sensed something, pulled by some force, and suddenly began to churn violently, like the surging waves in the sea, enigmatic and unpredictable.

Finally, the black fog abruptly parted, opening a path leading directly into the depths.

"An ancient castle?"

Ji Jingqiu's gaze pierced through the pale black mist, seeing an imposing and majestic ancient castle standing at the end of the horizon.

There, was it the core of this Plane World?

Ji Jingqiu speculated, perhaps that Chains Realm creature, or even the stronger Heart Image, was hidden within that ancient castle.

Senluo's body suddenly radiated a gentle light, like a rising morning sun, unhurried, yet with an irresistible force, dispelling every inch of gloom and shadow inside and around him.

He basked in the holy light, his expression serene, his demeanor becoming steady and profound, a slow but astounding Transformation occurring within him, giving him unprecedented insight.

Feeling the Transformation happening to Senluo, Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

Indeed, as expected.

In this way, as long as one qualifies to challenge the Taboo, with his assistance from the Divine Skills, one can ignore the erosion of the Ghostly Mist.

It's a pity that among those he knew, only Feng Wu of the Nine Palaces reached this standard.

Qin Qingjue and Ke Pingluan from the Federation, along with Ji Anquan from the Ji Family, were only at the peak of Sealing King in the Great Universe. It's difficult to say whether they can advance further after entering the Nine States.

However, upon reaching the Divine Travel Realm, there's still a chance to supplement one's foundation, as was the case with Marshal He in the old days.

Being True Seed but not having entered Taboo doesn't mean losing to those who stepped into Taboo in the subsequent realms. This field represents an extraordinary foundation, but it doesn't necessarily bloom spectacularly.

And a relatively ordinary seed can also bloom brilliantly.

Of course, the above two are actually just extreme examples.

Most of the Heavenly Pride who reach Taboo, as long as they don't fall midway, basically rise powerfully.
