Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 850 - 312: When Human Malice Arises, Disaster Follows at Home (Part 2)

"Enough, it’s time for me to break through to Heavenly Person."...

North 1 District, Federation Capital.

This place is near the Heavenly Road, a heavily guarded area by the Federation, also the "Initial Landing Place" for Martial Artists coming through the Heavenly Road.

Given this importance, Ji Anquan has also placed the Mysterious Mechanism Stele here in the capital, as a demonstration of the Federation’s power.

Currently, there are five hundred and seventy-seven Heavenly Person ranked on the Mysterious Mechanism Stele, with the top fifty all being Federation Martial Artists, and starting from the top ten are all of the Great Heavenly Position, seven are from six big families, one official, and the remaining two come from the Four Directions Master Path.

Not long ago at the Hundred Veins Conference, Pure Yang Dao Yin Tianping broke through the Third Tier during a hand-to-hand encounter with Ji Jingqiu, becoming one of them.

Although these ten are recent Great Heavenly Position breakthroughs, in the current Great Universe environment, this level of strength is enough to intimidate the Martial Artists across the Three Thousand Yanfu not to act recklessly.

Through this stele, Martial Artists from various realms can immediately confirm when the person on East Three Bright Star breaks through the Heavenly Human Boundary.

Regarding the timing of this breakthrough, many forces have secretly made bets trying to gain some advantage.

"Didn’t break through today either? Haha, I lost another drink."

"Not long ago, news came from various Ascension Platforms, those Divine Prohibitions have all broken through to Heavenly Person, with some even reaching Middle Heaven Position. Why hasn’t this person broken through yet?"

"This person’s lack of breakthrough is even more terrifying than actually breaking through. According to news from East Three Bright Star, this person’s aura grows deeper and stronger by the day!"

"Hm, why did my ranking suddenly drop by one position?"

"Hold on, it seems the Heart Image rankings collectively moved up by one position, this is..."

"Gasp! The person from East Three Bright Star has broken through to Heavenly Person!!!"

In an instant, as this shocking news spread, it exploded across the entire capital!

Countless Martial Artists poured in from all directions to the stele standing in the central square!

"The Heavenly Person List is flickering, is it trying to quantify that person’s strength?"

"Can it be quantified? That person should have just broken through to Heavenly Person and hasn’t made a move yet."

"You underestimate the Holy Object of Mysterious Mechanism Heaven. In the past, Mysterious Mechanism Heaven didn’t abandon the contest for the ’Heavenly Mechanism Ancestor Court’ title with Heavenly Mechanism Realm out of disdain. With this Mysterious Mechanism Stele here, Mysterious Mechanism Heaven will never fall!"

"Look, rushing into the top ten! Just entered Heavenly Person, theoretical combat power can rival Great Heavenly Position?!"

"Naturally, naturally!" someone remarked, "Before breaking through to Heavenly Person, already able to suppress Middle Heaven Position. By the time this person stabilizes their realm, their combat power might directly chase Heavenly Person Perfection!"

"Heard that within Mysterious Mechanism Heaven there’s a main stele that can consolidate data from multiple steles..."

"Don’t even think about it, even if a True Saint requests it, Mysterious Mechanism Heaven won’t easily reveal the main stele, it’s their fundamental foundation."

"The rankings are still advancing, the top ten is not yet the limit for this person?"

"Sixth... fourth... so fast! Is this directly rushing to the top of the list?!"

"This period has already proven, the Federation’s inheritance is not weaker than the various families and even stands above the Ten Directions Sects. This person can actually, in the early stage of Heavenly Person, surpass the Great Heavenly Position of the Federation’s six big families?"

Suddenly.

On the Mysterious Mechanism Stele, Ji Jingqiu’s name leaps up, inexplicably jumping from fourth directly to the top of the list, overpowering all heroes!

Even though the heart already had some suspicions, when this scene truly appeared before their eyes, Martial Artists of various sides were breathless, unexpectedly yet understandably!

Outside the bustling crowd.

A tall woman in simple robes stood among the sea of people, hair styled up, with a wooden hairpin across, seemingly like a layperson.

Her aura was peculiar, clearly not yet a Heavenly Person, yet close to Dao Harmonization, with several "acquaintances" of Ji Jingqiu standing behind her.

Yanfutu’s Taboo Sequence You Chengkong from Southern Wilderness Continent.

Southern Wilderness Continent’s Purple Crystal Clan’s Taboo Sequence Senluo.

"Is he the heir of He Donghuang?" the woman in simple robes asked, staring at the name on the stele.

Senluo’s eyes burned with fervor, worthy is his big brother, able to suppress a group of Great Heavenly Positions right upon entering Heavenly Person!

"Let’s go to East Three Bright Star." The woman in simple robes suddenly turned, "I’m very interested in his Heart Lamp."

...

...

Supreme Buddha Country.

The painful howls seemed to arise from the depths of the spirit, the Buddha once pure white without a trace of impurity now unknowingly tainted with pitch-black lines of faith.

"Teacher, the situation is just as you said. If it continues, the True Buddha will counterattack numerous followers, completely losing control."

Huang Fuxing said grimly,

"I have already contacted the Mu Family, they will send someone to inspect."

Mu Chengde looked towards where the True Buddha was, shaking his head: "The Mu Family doesn’t understand the True Buddha better than us. Buddha Country comes prepared."

Huang Fuxing’s expression was heavy.

In the past, Dharma King Zuo Qianqiu introduced Buddha Country into the sect for cooperation, though soon he was subdued by the Great Grandmaster of Mu Family and forcibly taken away, Buddha Country had already gained what they wanted from Zuo Qianqiu.

That is the protection of the True Buddha.

The numerous followers of Supreme True Buddha do not lie within the Federation but among the dimensions developed during the Divine Travel in various realms by the Supreme True Buddha Sect over the years.

The more followers of the True Buddha there are, the stronger its power becomes.

So in the past, Zuo Qianqiu did not reject Buddha Country’s request, for the Supreme True Buddha Sect it was beneficial and harmless.

But when Huang Fuxing’s teacher, Mu Chengde, took control of the Supreme True Buddha Sect’s authority and merged the "control" of the Supreme True Buddha, he found an unknown power infiltrating the core of the True Buddha through the link of faith.

"Behind Buddha Country... the Shi Zun standing there is a big problem!" Mu Chengde said deeply, "I will go to consult several Divine Lords to see if they have any solutions."

...

...

Ji Jingqiu clearly perceived that as he advanced to Heavenly Person, mystically he seemed to break through a certain imprisonment, altering the force field and energy of the entire East Three Bright Star, with some transformation being nurtured within the star.

But Ji Jingqiu had no time to attend to the external changes.

With this Breakthrough, his spirit re-entered the realm of Sitting Forget, merging his spirit with the Dao

If "Observing the Dao of Heaven, Execute Heavenly Affairs" is the ultimate secret of the Heart Image.

Upon reaching Heavenly Person, what is pursued is "Setting the Heavenly Path, to define the human."

The universe cares for the heart, transformations originate from the body.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu seemed to dream, in the dream he embodied sun and moon, heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, even plants and animals, observing the world from different perspectives, comprehending the changes in the world.

His spirit wandered in the depths of the endless void, as if drifting above the river of time overlooking the passage of ages, witnessing numerous fantastical illusions, comprehending the mysteries of dharma.

"All dharma begins with the initial fluctuation of life." Ji Jingqiu seemed to have an epiphany, slowly opened his eyes, his gaze ancient, as if he experienced countless ages in a moment.

Behind him, a Dharma Body reflecting the observer’s Heart Image silently manifested, standing between heaven and earth, its face changing countless times, yet at this moment slowly revealing its "true form," identical to Ji Jingqiu.

Supreme above all in heaven and earth.

Omnipresent, omnipotent!
