Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Nuosa and Yang Qu had long heard of Ji Jingqiu's great reputation, aware that he was the key to the Sun and Moon Alliance's defeat of Zhong Nanzhu.

Yang Qu took the initiative to engage in conversation, saying: "I heard that Ji comes from the Great Red Sky Palace of the Nine Palaces. May I ask if the Ancestor Master is Senior Gu?"

Before Ji Jingqiu could answer, Yang Qu eagerly added: "One of my elders, who traveled with your Ancestor Master ten thousand years ago, had quite a good personal relationship with him! Before entering this time, he told me to try to find the old friends of the past!"

Surprisingly, Ji Jingqiu shook his head and said: "Although I am from the Nine Palaces, I do not originate from there. The Senior Gu you mentioned is, by seniority, my martial uncle."

Martial uncle...

Yang Qu's face suddenly stiffened.

For him, that elder of his own is of the level of a great-grandancestor!

Originally, he wanted to establish a connection, given that their ancestors had a good relationship, and they should be considered acquaintances through the generations, which should add some trust. Moreover, his great-grandancestor indeed asked him to try to find the old friend...

But how could he have expected to connect himself to such a high-ranking figure? How could the other's seniority be so high?!

That Heavenly Lord Gu, is actually only his martial uncle?!

The few people next to them saw his stiff expression and could not help but feel surprised, then quickly grasped the humor in the situation and smirked.

Senluo spoke with concern: "Doesn't that make us all one family? By the way, based on the seniority of Yang's elder, how should Yang and my big brother address each other?"

Nuosa exclaimed: "Congratulations to Yang for reconnecting with your family's longstanding acquaintance. Your relationship with Ji is truly enviable."

Yang Qu forced a laugh: "The seniority is too confusing; let's just keep to our own ways, I'll maintain my acquaintance with Ji."

Senluo insisted firmly: "Everything can be in disarray, but seniority cannot!"

Nuosa nodded in agreement: "Indeed, call each other whatever we should call! No need to be shy!"

Listening to the two of them call "my big brother" and "Ji" repeatedly, Yang Qu felt his face twitching, as if he had dug a hole for himself.

Ji Jingqiu chuckled and said: "Since we are acquainted through generations, I'll give you a welcoming gift, so that when I'm out, the elders can't say I didn't look out for you."

By this time, Nuosa had not realized the seriousness of the issue and continued to joke with Senluo, thinking how Yang Qu had shot himself in the foot.

When he finally grasped the gravity of it, it was as if the tide had turned, and turned too quickly at that.

After meeting the two, Ji Jingqiu received messages from the Federation side and coordinates from Senluo.

The message stated that the Yanhuang Federation, in partnership with more than a dozen civilization forces, formed an alliance and has now established a foothold on the Ancient Road, looking forward to meeting him.

Subsequently, Senluo brought him the resource intelligence he urgently needed.

Surprisingly, in the past month, the Martial Artists under the Sun and Moon Alliance had found a location suspected to have more than nine feet of spiritual mechanism.

In the end, Senluo made a move and secured it, unexpectedly discovering that it was actually a strand of nine feet nine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism.

Ji Jingqiu unceremoniously accepted it, confirming that his previous decision was correct.

Besides, Senluo provided not one or two coordinates, but a whole set of surrounding maps, marked with more than ten thousand clear Plane Worlds.

Such maps are almost impossible to be in individual hands; they are the collective achievements of multiple forces and millions, tens of millions of Martial Artists.

The map indicated suspected Planes with Superior Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanisms, numbering over a hundred, most of which are areas that no one has been able to explore deeply, or they would have been 'harvested' already.

In those places, there were either peculiarities like black mist or creatures above the Chains.

After incorporating the coordinates sent by the Federation, Ji Jingqiu formulated a route and thus embarked on a long journey.

Before leaving, he experimented and successfully stored two wicks temporarily in Senluo's Heart Lamp, leaving one for Feng Wu, and the other depending on Nuosa's performance afterwards, since he didn't know how long he would be away.

...

...

This day.

Nuosa finished his daily cultivation and pondered how much longer it would take to touch the threshold of the Taboo.

This time, the change on the Ancient Road took everyone by surprise, preventing him, a Quasi-taboo, from stepping into the Taboo ranks as easily as in previous years, and from competing with the very top tier.

Suddenly.

A startling fluctuation came from a distant palace.

Nuosa quickly rose to his feet, his expression changing slightly. After a moment of sensing, he showed a look of shock. Was Yang Qu attempting a breakthrough?

How could he be faster than him!

Yang Qu only joined the Quasi-taboo ranks after entering the Ancient Road by chance, but now he seemed to be the first to attempt a breakthrough.

Immediately, Nuosa left his residence and quickly headed to where Yang Qu was. By the time he arrived, the breakthrough was already concluding.

Senluo had been waiting at the door and nodded when he saw him arrive.

"Is... Is it successful?" Nuosa took a deep breath, finding it hard to believe.

Is passing through the Taboo Gate's Ghostly Mist this easy?

Senluo smirked mysteriously and lightly said: "Nuosa brother, just keep working hard for the alliance, and you'll also have your chance."

The implied meaning of his words was quite strong, and coupled with earlier news from Senluo, it left Nuosa somewhat uncertain.

Did the Sun and Moon Alliance really possess a method for safely crossing the Taboo threshold?!

Before long.

Yang Qu, looking radiant, walked out of the palace, his aura entirely different from yesterday. He patted Nuosa on the shoulder, showing concern and admonishing:

"Little Nuosa, keep working hard, and one day you'll also have the chance to step into the Taboo."

Nuosa's face stiffened, and he brushed off the hand from his shoulder, turning to leave.

...

This day, the Sun and Moon Alliance produced a third Taboo, sparking a huge uproar, shaking various parties and revealing that the increasingly stable situation on the Ancient Road had once again been disrupted.
