Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

But the gains were substantial; his spine was like a great dragon, making crackling sounds akin to the roar of a dragon with the slightest movement, resonating with certain profound truths, enabling him to master a unique way of exerting force.

He felt that if he continued down this path, he would ultimately unlock a different kind of Divine Storage.

In the civilization under Hel's command, it is believed that the stars are infinite, the starry rivers are boundless, and the human body is like the universe, containing endless divine gates. Behind each gate is a treasure, and if one could open them all, they could compare to the creator gods.

— That is, Hel.

But this is obviously difficult to achieve, some gates have too high a threshold, akin to the idea that a single cell is a star.

For a Martial Artist able to unlock such divine gates, the treasure behind the gate is merely a confirmation, with limited enhancement in strength.

The Three Great Secret Treasures are selected after numerous attempts by many, as the three progressively intertwined, mutually influencing, and mutually stabilizing most suitable bodily treasures.

After retraining the Hidden Dragon Stance,

Ji Jingqiu found the so-called "Floating Cloud Boat" in the Creation Land of the Acquired mentioned by Senluo.

It is called a "boat," but it is actually a secluded pool containing a certain majestic power. Submerging to the bottom of the pool can free one's body from its constraints and allow the spirit to Divine Travel Heaven and Earth.

The so-called spiritual mechanism is the "Heaven and Earth Phenomenon," and can also be seen as the Divine Form between heaven and earth. Integrating the spiritual mechanism into the body not only imprints its Divine Form into one's Martial Arts but also refines the Dharma and the rhythm of the laws within.

The advancement of Ji Jingqiu's Water Moon Law Domain involves integrating all Divine Forms from the spiritual mechanism.

And Divine Traveling Heaven and Earth, such as refining the Mountain and Water Spirit Mechanism while Divine Traveling through mountains and waters, can greatly accelerate the refining process.

Next, he plans to complete the refinement of two spiritual mechanisms here, pushing his physique to further Transformation.

Especially the Divine Mountain spiritual mechanism.

He plans to use this spiritual mechanism as an opportunity to carve the Mountain and Water Divine Form within his body, to see if he can advance further in the realm of Inner Heaven and Earth.

After the battle with Zhong Nanzhu, he realized that no Taboo is easy to deal with; those who reach Taboo have almost reached the pinnacle of the True Seed Realm in all aspects.

For instance, in terms of physical body alone, Zhong Nanzhu is probably still above him!

But Zhong Nanzhu does not have the embryonic form of a dojo, the temporary unification ability of the physical body, the power cohesion is not as unified as his own, which is why he was completely suppressed by him.

After the refinement of the spiritual mechanism is completed, and the physical quality is further advanced, Ji Jingqiu intends to try practicing another Secret Technique to assist with the carving of the Inner Heaven and Earth.

That is the Great Sumeru Mountain True Form Map obtained from the ancestral shrine of the Mu Family.

Once the Inner Heaven and Earth is accomplished and the Life Origin is increased, he will be able to attempt to unlock the second layer of the Divine Storage.

This is a progressive journey home.

By then, his physique will be able to thoroughly surpass Zhong Nanzhu.

Once he fully unlocks the Physical Body Divine Store, according to the inferences of several Divine Lords, his physical body will surpass most Martial Artists in the Chains Realm.

At the moment when Ji Jingqiu re-entered the phase of cultivation,

Senluo had already returned to the now changed Void Boat City.

He also wanted to immerse himself in cultivation like his elder brother, since his elder brother had left him a Zhong Nanzhu.

But the current Void Boat City could be described as in a state of "ruins awaiting resurrection."

The old master has fled, and it's time for a new master to take over.

He needs to show up in person, to stabilize the people's hearts and rebuild the situation.

Once Senluo casually implanted the battle halberd dropped by Zhong Nanzhu before his final retreat into the center of Void Boat City, the dominance of Heavenly Net Hall over Void Boat City became history.

The original structure of Void Boat City was greatly shaken; with Senluo personally holding fort, he easily defeated the leaders of several other factions in succession, establishing his name as a Taboo.

Afterward, the Sun and Moon Alliance began to expand rapidly; even though Senluo repeatedly raised the threshold, taking the elite route, a large number of Heavenly Prides still flocked to join.

Everyone is smart; a faction with two Taboos like the Sun and Moon Alliance will inevitably become one of the largest forces on the Ancient Road.

At this moment, the most troubled people in Void Boat City are not the former members of Heavenly Net Hall.

Rather, it's the Martial Artists who, due to the pressure from Heavenly Net Hall just days ago, chose to exit the Sun and Moon Alliance and even switch sides to Heavenly Net Hall.

They missed the opportunity to become "founders" and thus parted ways with one of the future's strongest forces.

Some brazenly tried to return, only to be sternly rejected and directly expelled.

"Heh, 'thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, a speck of dust; once a new emperor ascends, the courtiers change,' Void Boat City is now under the Sun and Moon Alliance's rule."

"Not necessarily, you think Heavenly Net Hall would just bow down and admit defeat?"

"What else can they do if they don't admit defeat? Tell me, with the Sun and Moon Alliance hosting two Taboos, how can Heavenly Net Hall turn things around, how can they make a comeback?"

"The Sun and Moon Alliance has already given face by not continuing the pursuit. That leader of Heavenly Net Hall has suffered heavy injuries too; if he has any sense after healing, he won't continue senseless entanglements. The Ancient Road is so vast; they can go anywhere at the early stage. Why insist on a dead-end fight, which delays the Transformation speed in the early phase and ultimately loses any chance of a turnaround in the later phase? That would be true foolishness!"

"It's been over a month since the Ancient Road opened. According to past progress, in another month, the overall structure of the Ancient Road will come out..."

"Next, it's a struggle between factions, battling for Creation resources. Alas, for us independent cultivators, if we don't band together, it's going to be harder and harder to get by."

Zi Rixin passed through the crowd, listening to the Martial Artists' evaluations and discussions within Void Boat City, his smile beaming.

He had previously guessed that Senluo might have broken through to Taboo, and vaguely surmised that Ji Jingqiu, as Senluo's elder brother, was probably above the level of Quasi-taboo.

Guessing either point correctly was enough to ensure that the Sun and Moon Alliance would not fall!

He was right on both counts!

...

...

Qingnang City.

Moon Palace.

"The leader of Heavenly Net Hall, Zhong Nanzhu...fled in defeat, even abandoning the battle halberd of Heavenly Net Hall?"
