Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Martial Artists who lag behind at the outset need to either acquire a heaven-defying opportunity or follow a path that is designed for thick accumulation and sudden success to rise later on.

But Ji Jingqiu is different.

What he planted was not a flower seed, but a tree seed.

By integrating the advantages of two paths in the True Seed Realm, he took his cultivation a significant step further and forged a unique path of his own.

He surveyed the Senluo before him and finally nodded in satisfaction.

Once Senluo steps into the Taboo Sequence, it can work better!

Though not enough to stand against those who reached Taboo on the Ancient Road, it now has the power to fight and hold its ground.

After settling the matter with Heavenly Net Hall and refining the remaining two Dao Spirit Machines, he could confidently travel the Ancient Road, take the initiative to strike, search for opportunities, and leave Senluo in charge of the home front.

Afterward, he just needs to periodically obtain intelligence and resources from the Sun and Moon Alliance.

Most importantly, Senluo is itself very interested in establishing power!

A perfect worker, indeed a gift from heaven, Ji Jingqiu praised silently.

Another half-day passed.

Senluo finally completed its Transformation, feeling a faint joy within, serene and peaceful, but more so was solitude.

That kind of solitude when facing the pinnacle.

Opening his eyes, as his pores relaxed, he felt as if he merged with Heaven and Earth, able to perceive the more subtle order of Dharma laws, a feeling arising from the elevation of his True Self.

Stepping onto the threshold of the Taboo, he underwent a key Transformation, and everything was different now, an exceptionally wonderful sensation.

He slowly rose to his feet, his gaze deep as the ocean, truly exuding the aura of a young Supreme.

In his eyes now, even the challenge of an alliance with Ji Jingqiu seemed insignificant, but he chose to temporarily hold off, not wishing to challenge Ji Jingqiu at this moment, to give Ji Jingqiu the respect he deserves...

As he was about to say something, turning his head, he saw Ji Jingqiu heading towards the black mist.

Confirming Senluo's breakthrough, Ji Jingqiu prepared to make some attempts.

A brilliant golden radiance bloomed within, he stepped forward, evolving his Innate Divine Ability into a dazzling sea of light, his figure submerged and blurred within it, sacred and majestic.

He walked into the depths of the black mist, alone, causing the entire mist to retreat. Deep within the mist surged, becoming more profound, exuding a terrifying aura as if accumulating something, but Ji Jingqiu seemed undisturbed, continuing onward, stopping only halfway.

He fixed his gaze upon the ancient castle at the far end of the plain, and after a long while, he began to return.

Even upon his return, the thickening mist did not flow back but roiled intensely in place.

Witnessing this scene.

Senluo's eyes turned from deep and oceanic to clear as water.

My big brother is so awesome!

When Ji Jingqiu came back, Senluo approached to greet him with concern:

"Big brother, what happened?"

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment and said, "You've just broken into Taboo, you need a suitable opponent to practice and to realize your own strength..."

A sense of alarm struck Senluo's heart, and he quickly expressed his stance, "How could I make a move against you?! No, absolutely not!"

"Not me," said Ji Jingqiu, his gaze distantly locking onto the ancient castle, "you find a way to lure over the people from Heavenly Net Hall, and I'll find a way to draw out the fellow from the castle, then 'together' with the people of Heavenly Net Hall, we'll take that one down."

Upon hearing this, Senluo responded without hesitation:

"Leave it to me. Perfect, the Heavenly Net Hall has been targeting us lately, I'll personally make a move and draw out Zhong Nanzhu!"

Before his breakthrough, he used to refer to Zhong Nanzhu as "that one," but after the breakthrough?

He had long been aware of the fame of Heavenly Net Hall's "Senluo Purgatory Demon Body," and he was eager to learn a few tricks!

...

...

Void Boat City.

Heavenly Net Hall.

"Ye Xingchen of Moon Ring failed his breakthrough?" Zhong Nanzhu shook his head, "Trying to take shortcuts is not that easy. But this news of the Ancient Road being invaded by Ghostly Mist is not good."

He turned back to look at the Attendant below, "How is Senluo doing?"

"Young Palace Master, Senluo seems to have noticed our movements, sending the main forces of the Sun and Moon Alliance to that Plane World, as if they want to take it by force. Moreover, in the recent clashes, Senluo took the initiative and seriously injured one of our Sealing King Peaks."

Zhong Nanzhu said indifferently, "Where is Senluo now?"

"He has already gone to that Plane World."

Putting down the Ancient Jade engraved with the secrets of Divine Skills in his hand, Zhong Nanzhu stood up and said:

"Order people to assemble. This time we will completely erase the Sun and Moon Alliance to glorify the name of Heavenly Net Hall, and henceforth, Void Boat City shall be under our domain."

"I will lead this battle personally, to slay Senluo beneath my battle lance."

In this moment, Zhong Nanzhu's eyes were sharp as lightning, his form shrouded in misty Rune light, looking transcendent and divine.

The man who for years served him was excited, "Congratulations to the Young Palace Master for the small achievement of the Heavenly Demon Body, laying the foundation for Great Divine Power!"

Zhong Nanzhu murmured, "It's still far from enough, to reign supreme on the Ancient Road one must fully master a Great Divine Power…"

...

...

"How's the plan going?" Senluo stood with hands clasped behind his back, his eyes profound.

In just a few days, Zi Rixin inexplicably felt that Senluo's temperament had completely changed, as if a key Transformation had taken place, giving him a feeling...

Much like facing that Little Saint, Zhong Nanzhu, of the Heavenly Net Hall!

Startled, Zi Rixin gasped for air, his heart thumping – could it be that Senluo had broken through?!

No...

Not long ago, news from Qingnang City reached Void Boat City, confirming with their lives the anomalies of the Ancient Road, that Ghostly Mist had invaded here.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Zi Rixin not speaking for a long time, Senluo looked over, his profound gaze containing an invisible vortex as if it could devour everything, including one's spirit and will.

In these few days, he had completed the transformation of the Divine Travel Realm, working on the ascension of his race's Divine Skills.

From True Seed to Taboo, no direction left to advance, he reached the realm once held by his big brother.

Zi Rixin snapped back to reality and hurriedly said, "It should work, they have started mobilizing their people. Heavenly Net Hall does not have a Quasi-taboo, even if that one does not want to act, once you strike and slay a few Sealing King Peaks, that one will inevitably make a move."

Senluo nodded slightly, "I will personally face Zhong Nanzhu."

Zi Rixin's heart skipped a beat; was he now addressing that one by name? Could it truly be a breakthrough?
