Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 852 - 313: Freedom from Form, Daluo Heaven Before Your Eyes

"Indeed, this planet has long fallen into the hands of Ji Jingqiu. Although we receive gifts upon breakthrough, we cannot touch the roots, merely aiding in deepening the foundation of this planet...""Has this Heavenly Person’s breakthrough truly encountered no obstacles at all?"

"Heh, the Heavenly Human Boundary..."

Many Martial Artists from various realms looked up, fully acknowledging the decision within the sect to abandon invading this Ascension Platform.

At this moment, the transformation of The Beginning of One Element reached its final step.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be situated within the cosmic starry sky, countless stars surrounding him at the center, with every breath accompanied by the ebb and flow of a magnificent star river.

Only he stood firm among them, becoming the eternal "One," controlling the Primordial, evolving All Phenomena.

With the All Phenomena, he sees the Formless. Walking this path till today, he finally glimpsed signs, no longer vague and misty!

Ji Jingqiu’s heart was calm; he saw the place of the Dao, knowing the next step was still "addition."

His transformation continued.

The reshaping of the Magic Body and the conversion of True Strength also neared completion.

At this moment, every pore on Ji Jingqiu’s body radiated Infinite Light, pure and flawless, overwhelming Heaven and Earth. Many strong ones wandering on the East Three Bright Star looked up, but only saw the earth and sky fused, vaguely able to see the outline of a brilliant silhouette standing at the center of the world.

As if a God was sitting.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu reflected on past events, discovering some things he had previously neglected or overlooked.

In the past, Ning Mingsheng of Invincible Emperor Heaven, though physically and spiritually weak, inferior to any of the top ten before the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele, relied purely on divine nature, mastering Daoist Skills, invincible in the Divine Travel.

He managed to treat the Heaven and Earth Law like fuel, wantonly igniting and turning it into his own use, because he had opened the Dao of Burning Me in the Divine Travel Realm, reaching upwards to touch virtue, and downwards to control dharma.

This was the person Hel referred to, remaining in the Dharma Realm with the utmost purity of divine nature.

But ultimately, it was Ji Jingqiu who emerged victorious.

Years have passed, and he finally noticed some hidden secrets of that battle, mysteries that even the many "spectators" at the time failed to discover.

In the eyes of people like Master Gu, his victory was due to pioneering the Dao Establishment, gaining recognition from some Taoist Rules in the world, to rival Ning Mingsheng.

But Ji Jingqiu knew very well, that in that battle, though he pioneered the Dao Establishment Sword and his spirit and physique surpassed Ning Mingsheng, even borrowing some of the power of all beings through the Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp, he still struggled against Ning Mingsheng’s complete Dao of Burning Me.

Opening the way in the Divine Travel Realm, this was the last mystery of Emperor Heaven, able to fight to the death against when battling Marshal He.

His true opportunity for victory was in "pulling" Ning Mingsheng away from the state of pure divinity!

Just like Marshal He back then pulled Hel down from the Divine Throne!

Once the divine nature was impure, falling below the Dharma Realm, Ning Mingsheng naturally couldn’t master the complete Dao. Under such circumstances, inferior in all other aspects, he lost to his Dao Establishment Sword!

This point was difficult for outsiders to perceive, even Hel, who was then in Ji Jingqiu’s Inner World, remained puzzled over how he defeated the last mystery of Emperor Heaven, attributing it to the power of the eight sufferings brought by that sword.

The Eight Sufferings are terrifying, fearsome; even for a mere Divine Travel, let alone Heavenly Person or Heavenly King, a slight misstep can lead to downfall.

Yet it wasn’t until this moment that Ji Jingqiu finally penetrated some truths of the past.

It wasn’t just the Eight Sufferings and Eight Joys that pulled Ning Mingsheng down from the Divine Throne, but also the Infinite Light and the Power of Faith and Will borrowed by the Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp.

In this moment.

A Heart Lamp illuminated his mind and Heaven and Earth, using Heart Moon as the wick and divinity as the oil.

[Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp]

This is his Innate Divine Power, destined to continuously perfect along with his growth, even more unsolvable than The Beginning of One Element.

The latter still requires him to constantly comprehend and evolve, while the former merely needs to grow with him, autonomously perfecting.

With his breakthrough of the Heavenly Person’s barrier and ascension among Heavenly Persons, this Innate Divine Power also underwent a fresh transformation.

"All sentient beings possess the Tathagata Wisdom and Virtue, yet why do they remain trapped in the Bitter Sea, unable to transcend, unable to witness the Tathagata?"

Ji Jingqiu mused to himself.

This was the Dao Question from Ning Mingsheng years ago.

On that day, he didn’t answer but questioned back, a clever move yet aligned with the Dao.

Ji Jingqiu had an epiphany; back then, he did indeed pioneer the Dao Establishment Sword, just as Master Gu guessed, and gained recognition from the Taoist Rules, yet it wasn’t The Beginning of One Element.

So, where is the "Taoist Rules" that recognized him?

Ji Jingqiu’s gaze pierced through the void, his spirit stood serenely above the Dharma Realm. Those various "Dao Undercurrents" that were difficult to discern before, finally had a trace of outline.

Just a glance.

Surpassed countless in the human world.

That is the voiceless beauty that summer insects cannot discuss ice, hearing the Dao in the morning can die in the evening. Only those who have truly seen can comprehend its meaning.

Under the infinite magnificence, he followed the Heart Lamp and found a gleam of light.

Compared to the Infinite Wisdom Light within him, this glimmer is so insignificant, like a spark, flickering weakly, yet never extinguishing.

This is... the Dao mark left by Marshal Mu here?!

Ji Jingqiu tried to touch it, doing everything possible to sink himself infinitely, as if plunging into the deep sea to touch the light at the bottom.

But no matter how he submerged, he could never draw closer.

It was as if the distance between them wasn’t space, but "destiny."

Multiple attempts all ended in failure.

Even though his Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp had transformed to its utmost, it couldn’t guide him to find the location of this Dao mark.
