Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Under the polite gesture of Ji Jingqiu, the little creature, the size of two fists, was overwhelmed with shame and anger and finally burst forth.

Each phoenix feather on its body stood erect, as if it had received a tremendous stimulus. Ignoring the venerated existence on the back of Ji Jingqiu's hand, it was ready to fight him to the death, fiercely pecking with its beak.

However, it was simply too weak at the moment; its fierce pecking felt less impactful than a massage to Ji Jingqiu.

"Little troublemaker."

Ji Jingqiu flicked the creature's forehead with a bend of his finger.

He carefully checked inside and out to confirm that the little one posed no threat. Its physique was comparable to an average True Seed Realm individual who had not yet forged a Cultivation Body, as no traces of Dharma Runes could be sensed within.

Whether it was the Bloodline Path or the Federation's path of the Acquired Body, there are more or less imprints of the Dharma within the body, otherwise it would not be possible to harness the power of Dharma in the early stages.

This led Ji Jingqiu to dismiss the guess that the little beast might be an offspring of a Void Giant Beast.

A creature like the Void Giant Beast is nurtured by nature, and it would be accurate to call it a Manifestation of Dao, as it is born with a complete legacy imprint within.

For many powerhouses, "Observing Dao" of a Void Giant Beast would be a tremendous benefit.

Ji Jingqiu lifted the small creature by one hand, pondering that its appearance here was clearly not accidental.

Could it be related to the Void Giant Beast, perhaps a Bloodline descendant?

The primordial Void Giant Beasts were born Innate, but they were capable of leaving progeny, and their bloodlines would dilute over generations, occasionally exhibiting some return to ancestral traits.

The Beast Sea of Yanfu State is an Overlord Level force established by the Void Giant Beasts.

Hanging upside down, the small creature was still struggling vigorously, its huffing and puffing appearance quite adorable, filled with excessive spirituality.

It must be said, this little creature was quite unique. Whether it was the phoenix head or the butterfly wings, or even the lion body, each part looked sacred and beautiful, or even domineering on its own. But combined, it gave a strange feeling, somewhat incongruous.

Ji Jingqiu was still prepared for further study when he suddenly felt his offspring urging him.

He could only put down the little creature and, upon landing, the creature quickly increased the distance from this human devoid of boundary sense, but it hesitated when the distance became too great.

It wasn't reluctant to leave this human, but wanted to confirm up close the venerated existence on Ji Jingqiu's hand.

It did not expect that not only would it accidentally find the remains of a predecessor this time but also met a Prince yet to be born!

Only one corner of this Inner World remained, shattered and broken.

In the center lay a piece of broken bone, currently radiating bright and splendid light, constructing a hazy phantom figure.

It was summoning Ji Jingqiu to approach,

More precisely, it was the Swallowing Realm Snake's egg on the back of Ji Jingqiu's hand.

As Ji Jingqiu neared, the phantom seemed to gaze deeply at him. Then, with a long, ethereal sigh, without any further verbal interaction, the figure scattered into a shower of light, engulfing Ji Jingqiu within.

The little creature on the side watched eagerly, suddenly behaving as if it had received some summons, ecstatically moved forward and nestled by Ji Jingqiu's feet, basking in the light shower.

This was a legacy of Origin. This once-living Void Giant Beast, with a sliver of remaining will, injected the remaining Origin within this corpse into the Swallowing Realm Snake.

This was the inheritance of the Void Giant Beast. Ji Jingqiu could only enjoy a portion of the remnants, but it also allowed him to advance his physique to the point of Transformation.

Seeing that the Swallowing Realm Snake needed more time to accept the inheritance, Ji Jingqiu's spirit god sank into the Inner World.

Ready to see how Lady La's dog training was progressing.

...

...

Deep within the Ancient Road.

A majestic black mountain stood proudly in the universe. The rocky peaks were scattered. There was no sign of life on the mountain, sometimes black mist drifted away, and sometimes dark red blood oozed down.

On the mountain peak, a figure opened his eyes and muttered to himself:

"One of my soul fragments has been obliterated... Has there emerged a powerhouse capable of eradicating my soul fragment among this batch of Trialists?"

He pondered for a long while, wishing to stand up, but then a thunderous lightning bolt transformed into a long spear, piercing through Heaven and Earth, and planted itself before him.

A snort was heard.

He looked up and said, "You cannot trap me for too long. The Nether Sea is about to overturn this place, and when it does, you will be the first to die!"

Behind the lightning, a face seemed to emerge, indifferent, ruthless, enigmatic like the Heavenly Will.

The man on the mountain laughed and said, "You and I are two sides of the same coin; you cannot kill me and can only use those juniors to do it. But after studying for eons, how could these juniors have the strength to kill me on the same level? Better to let me go earlier; I am the last Inheritor of the Emperor Heaven Divine System!"

Above in the sky, the face slowly disappeared, without uttering a word from beginning to end.

...

...

Ji Jingqiu returned to the Inner World. The Bodhi tree lowered a branch and began to tattle, complaining about a bad woman stealing its fertilizer.

It had been a long time since the True Buddha was seen, the Bodhi tree hadn't seen fertilizer for a long time, and just when it had a package of fertilizer delivered to its doorstep, it was snatched away by the bad woman.

Ji Jingqiu consoled it with a few words, stating that individual was temporarily useful, but in the future, he would definitely let it have a full meal.

Meanwhile, with graceful undulations of her serpent tail, Hel sat alone by the Lotus Pond, where within a pitch-black fish was struggling, unable to escape on its own, caught up by the water Hel was stirring up, rendered unable to break free, with another fish eyeing it hungrily, almost drooling at the mouth.

"How's it going?" Ji Jingqiu inquired about the progress. He took a step forward, similarly sitting by the pond, reaching out to stir the water. The cool pond water was refreshing, calming the spirit.
