Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 877 - 321: The Narrow Tao, the Constrained Heaven and Earth (Part 3)

Ji Jingqiu sighed. This feeling was indeed uncomfortable, someone with claustrophobia might have already collapsed."You have already received preferential treatment," Hel said. "After all, you are endowed with a grand vow, responding to Heaven’s Heart, and embody the God, otherwise, now any random Heavenly King Master would either be expelled by the Great Universe or forcibly downgraded."

Ji Jingqiu nodded. The Great Universe indeed gives preferential treatment to the divine system, as Gods who gather the desires of all beings can help the Great Universe suppress the Spirit Ocean.

"I feel there’s an opportunity to make a move." Ji Jingqiu carefully sensed the current situation, showing an unusual look in his eyes.

His Reincarnation Body had already surpassed the threshold of a Heavenly King, originally thinking there would be no chance to act, but now he felt a kind of... freedom?

"Is it due to being endowed with a grand vow?" Ji Jingqiu speculated.

If he truly had a chance to act once in the Great Universe, then it was worth planning carefully.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu couldn’t help but feel some regret.

Earlier, he displayed his strength too aggressively, causing the forces of various realms, even the disciples of the True Saint Dojo, to choose to avoid confronting him.

Within the Federation, there wasn’t a single "valuable" martial artist from the realms.

If he wanted to maximize his interests now, there were only three options.

One was the Four Gods believers on the borders of the Federation, among whom were Heavenly Person Perfection.

Two was the Divine Prohibitions in certain places within the Great Universe.

Three was the third Ascension Platform, where the Saint King asked him to pacify the Chaotic Abyss Sea, suspecting that there were Four Demon Avatars lurking there.

After experiencing this battle, he fully realized the tricky nature of the Four Demons.

And as a dignified Saint King, how could he not see his potential and foundation? Thus, giving a ten-year appointment, it’s hard to say if there is something like Heavenly Demon Avatars hiding in the Chaotic Abyss Sea.

Soon, Ji Jingqiu received a familiar vast spiritual wave without actively contacting it.

"Are you Mu Heshan or... Ji Jingqiu?"

That thought swept across the Federation and descended into Ji Jingqiu’s mind.

An old acquaintance, Guardian God!

Ji Jingqiu felt a sense of intimacy.

After hearing Ji Jingqiu’s explanation, Guardian God made a sound of acknowledgment, calmly saying:

"Meeting you before being completely devoured by the Heavenly Demon is Mu Heshan’s luck. You are now constantly repelled by the Great Universe with your manifestation, I’ll teach you a Secret Technique to lower your cultivation, allowing you to walk more freely without being hindered, and unseal it when necessary."

Receiving the Secret Technique from Guardian God, the aura of this Reincarnation Body began to drop, falling all the way to Heavenly Person Perfection and even to Great Heavenly Position before it improved somewhat, and the gaze watching him in the dark finally dispersed.

"The Four Gods believers on the Federation border?"

Guardian God shook his head,

"If you wipe them all out, who would train Yin Tianping and others?"

"If indeed there is a need to eradicate those people, Meng Pingxue will handle it."

"Moreover, some won’t want to see the Federation too stable and peaceful."

Meng Pingxue... Ji Jingqiu thought, it’s the Little Ancestor raised by Master Meng Pingchuan, Snow Ancestor?

Ji Jingqiu instantly felt relieved.

With this being, who is not a Grandmaster yet surpasses one, sitting in the Void Giant Beast, the Federation is indeed worry-free for the moment.

As for the latter sentence...

"God, are you implying that even without the Four Demon followers, there will still be ’people’ causing trouble for the Federation?"

"Correct. I’ve contacted the Divine Lord and reported the situation. The Divine Lord instructed you not to worry about matters within the Federation."

Ji Jingqiu nodded lightly: "I understand."

Since there’s no need for him to act within the Federation, the unfortunate ones would be either the Chaotic Abyss Sea or the personnel from various forces at other Ascension Platforms, such as those Divine Prohibitions.

Isn’t the latter too much of an overkill?

To deal with a few Divine Prohibitions, there’s no need for his Reincarnation Body to make a move.

The best target would be the Chaotic Abyss Sea.

At that time, the Clone would be bait, the Reincarnation Body would fish.

Ji Jingqiu temporarily suppressed his eager thoughts and, after bidding farewell to Guardian God, returned to the Pure Land World.

After experiencing the "oppression" of the Great Universe, this Reincarnation Body instead stabilized its position, truly standing on the steps of the Seven Realms.

Ji Jingqiu looked back, the Bodhi Tree rooted in the Buddha Land, absorbing vast desires and stray thoughts, and growing upwards at a steady yet calm pace.

It had already surpassed a kilometer in height, and ten thousand meters was just a matter of time.

"With three bodies, it feels like I can accomplish three times as much," Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself.

After everything settled, Ji Jingqiu met with Huang Fuxing and Mu Chengde again.

The two had witnessed half the scene earlier and were sent out of the Buddha Country when Mu Heshan made his move as the world turned into Demon Land.

Upon hearing the follow-up developments from Ji Jingqiu, Mu Chengde sighed deeply. Although not a Mu Family member, he was filled with admiration towards Senior Mu Heshanmu.

Upon learning of Senior Mu’s magnificent deeds, he felt both nostalgic and respectful, with a touch of bewilderment.

From now on, Mu Heshan would never be seen again in Heaven and Earth.

Huang Fuxing also felt somewhat bewildered. Ji Jingqiu inheriting the True Buddha Fruit Position and becoming the Supreme True Buddha was beyond his understanding.

Once he thought that Ji Jingqiu stepping into Heavenly Person could help the Supreme True Buddha Sect cleanse its stagnation and sweep away old ailments, unexpectedly Ji Jingqiu achieved this step in a different way.

From now on, the Supreme True Buddha Sect would be worshipping this figure!

"Gentlemen, I have some matters needing the help of the Supreme True Buddha Sect."

Ji Jingqiu spoke.

He wanted to change his respected name and contend for Taoist Inheritance with Wuzhou, the assistance from the Supreme True Buddha Sect was indispensable.

All these years, the Supreme True Buddha Sect had been assisting in handling and developing the followers across realms.

Hearing Ji Jingqiu’s request, Mu Chengde’s eyes sparkled with excitement, "The World Venerable manifested, this is a paramount matter, I will contact the Mu Family to jointly advance this event!"

...

Buddha Country.

Today, countless Buddha Country citizens who believed in ’Shi Zun’ felt another ’True Buddha’ and heard the sound of the True Buddha’s descent, making them simultaneously excited and bewildered.

The scriptures state that every Buddha’s appearance is due to a significant karma and never appears without reason.

What caused this True Buddha to descend?

"True Buddha’s protection! Surely the True Buddha sensed us being besieged and hunted by the Nine States forces and descended to protect us!"

"But the siege, how innocent are we? It’s all because those people at the top misunderstood Buddha’s Words and invited the invasion of the Three Thousand Yanfu, bringing this calamity upon the Buddha Country! Those people should fall into endless Hell and suffer eternal pain!!"

In a secret gathering place, the gathered Buddha Country believers were either excited, or sorrowful, or discussing angrily.

They were discussing recent casualties and the foolishness and arrogance of the top, causing the Buddha Country, which once had the tendency to unify Yanfu State, to be besieged by Nine States and fall to this state!

"...He has appeared! That True Buddha has manifested!"

Suddenly someone rushed into the assembly, excitedly shouting,

"That True Buddha is named ’World Venerable’!"

The group was initially in uproar, and then went silent with doubts on their faces.

"Shi Zun? Isn’t that our original Only Buddha Lord?"

"No, not ’Shi’, but the World Venerable of the Suopo world——"

The newcomer explained solemnly:

"It contains six meanings: Freedom, Radiant, Solemn, Name, Noble, Auspicious, also referred to as virtuous and with a reputation, the most noble Saint in the world, also——Saint King!"

The place became increasingly noisy, with more people claiming to receive True Buddha True Words in the dark, flooding into the hall, promoting Buddhist Law.

"——To open the beings to Buddha’s knowledge and views, all Buddhas and World Venerables descended into Suopo, appearing in the world."

"Indeed, this True Buddha descended to save us!"

"Not only that! World Venerable appeared at the earliest ten thousand years ago! Even earlier than our Only Buddha Lord, He is the orthodox of the Buddhist Sect!"

"Do not speak recklessly!" Someone shouted sternly, "How can one defame the past Only Buddha Lord due to the grace of later Buddhas?!"
