Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 845 - 310: Heavenly Demon Wuzhou, Taoist Name Myriad Forms

According to a certain member of the Four Demons, the "Heavenly Demon," originally named Zhou...I, Wuzhou, with the Dao name "Myriad Forms," also known as "Heavenly Demon."

The master of the Sixth Heaven, also hailed as the master of Freedom Heaven.

Born in a Small Thousand World long ago, according to himself, he was born with great fortune and favor, a Banished Immortal descending to the mortal world, indulging in worldly glamor, found life dull, and later acquired the "Formless Heavenly Demon Technique," thus proclaiming himself as the Heavenly Demon and traveling across the cosmic domains.

In Wuzhou’s own words, the realm where he resides—

The Dao was lost for three thousand years until Wuzhou was found.

On the day of his enlightenment, in the realm named "Sixth Heaven" among the Three Thousand Realms, only a "person" remained.

All living beings are "one."

And Wuzhou is that "one."

It’s not that apart from Wuzhou, all living beings have perished, but rather all living beings have become Wuzhou.

In a certain sense, it’s even more unbearable than death.

Thus, Wuzhou’s Dao can transform into myriad forms, yet can gather into one.

At this very moment.

Jing Qiu carefully examined the "Wuzhou" in front of him, stretched his hand to pinch his small face.

Born with great fortune and favor is hard to say, but this appearance and demeanor indeed have the bearing of a Banished Immortal, with a smooth-skinned face.

Hel personally acted, pinching this Heavenly Demon Remnant Thought into a "Little Wuzhou," adorned with the Cross Heaven Mysterious Crown, clothing of Xuan Feather, with a Black Lotus mark at the center of his brows, small face fair-skinned, quite like a carved jade doll,

At this moment, Little Wuzhou’s face was expressionless, his demeanor indifferent, no matter how Jing Qiu and Hel pinched his face, pulled his hands, tugged his ears, flicked...

He remained aloof from beginning to end, arms crossed, small face indifferent.

However, the child’s mood at this moment was presumably not very good.

Originally just a remnant thought, almost crushed to dust by the Saint King, and when Jing Qiu managed to capture him, even for the Heavenly Demon’s mystical essence, he was found lacking beyond recognition.

Yet Hel, when reshaping his heart body, unexpectedly sacrificed the small self, achieving his present "Perfection," allowing him to reappear in this piece of Heaven and Earth.

Of course, Wuzhou would not be grateful to her.

Because this is obviously a form of confinement.

If it were any other Inner World, even with this damn woman present, he would have hundreds of ways to leave, regaining freedom, whether to return to his original body or roam the human world, all at his discretion.

Because every "Wuzhou" is free.

But...

Currently suspended in mid-air, Wuzhou’s gaze swept over the Self-Nature Bodhi, with eyes like ancient wells, faintly revealing a ripple.

The cursed World Venerable Lineage!

"This is the Heavenly Demon Lotus, one of Wuzhou’s tools for enlightenment, capable of rooting in boundless realms, tempting beings into decline."

Hel pointed with slender fingers at Wuzhou’s brow, providing Jing Qiu with a detailed explanation,

"The location where this Heavenly Demon Lotus is currently rooted is unknown, but back then we all speculated that Wuzhou secretly planted this Heavenly Demon Lotus somewhere in the Nether Sea."

"For Wuzhou to truly transcend, there was only one method back in the day, that was to harmonize with the Nether Sea. At that time, he could not only attain enlightenment and transcendence, but also rely on the Nether Sea to traverse boundless realms, achieving true great freedom and great transcendence."

Jing Qiu noticed, Hel used the term "back in the day."

"Only one method back in the day? Could it be that later he found other ways to transcend?" he asked curiously.

Even the All Real Saints are arduously pursuing the path to transcendence.

Hel shook her head, not saying much.

She indeed found a new path, but she’s uncertain if Wuzhou had found it back then or at present.

If he had found this path back then, then her fall from the Divine Throne might not only be due to those three Federation offspring, but also Wuzhou’s efforts behind the scenes.

But Hel can be certain, the other two definitely wouldn’t allow Wuzhou to easily achieve his goal, even if they don’t know what Wuzhou intends to do.

"By the way, what use is there in pinching him out?"

Jing Qiu couldn’t help himself, stretched his hand to pinch Wuzhou’s cheek, not sure if it was Lady La’s mischievousness, at this moment Little Wuzhou’s cheeks seemed a bit chubby.

"This Inner World is growing larger, lacking someone to clean and burn incense, let him do it in the future." Hel said with a chuckle.

Jing Qiu said: "Are you sure you can make him work?"

Hel squinted her eyes with a smile: "The child I pinched must listen to me, come, perform a backflip."

She released her hand.

Little Wuzhou thudded softly as he hit the ground, then uncontrollably stood up, performed a backflip in place, his crown slanted, he reached to right it, his face darkened.

What did this damn woman do to him?!

"Among us four, both I and Wuzhou are Acquired beings, especially Wuzhou with the strongest ’human taste.’"

She paused, her smile playful,

"After all, it’s the Supreme Heavenly Demon, capable of transforming into billions and affecting the hearts of all spirits, inevitably influenced by the intent of beings, so Wuzhou fears two things most, one is ’karma,’ the other is Bitter Sea."

"Yet your World Venerable Lineage monopolizes both."

Jing Qiu nodded slightly, the World Venerable Lineage is said to have eighty-four thousand methods, all revolving around the core ’karma.’

But it’s just the arising and ceasing of all things due to causes and conditions.

The path of karma is closely linked to destiny, nearly indistinguishable between you and me.

In the Mu Family’s heritage, there’s also the path of Karma, but only those Great Grandmasters who comprehend Heart Sitting and Forgetting can delve into it.

Beneath the Great Grandmaster is the Heavenly King Master, who only adds to their troubles.

During this period, Ji Jingqiu occasionally exchanged insights on the path of Karma with Hel, using the World Venerable Lineage’s texts as evidence, but the gains were sparse.

"Do you still remember when I last told you that divinity is all-powerful?" Hel asked.

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

Only absolute pure divinity can resist the erosion of Dao nature; if he wants to stay in the Dharma Realm long, he must gather the Martial Arts God. This is also the key to stepping into the Heavenly King realm.

But Hel mentioned last time that "becoming a god" isn’t targeting the Dharma Realm, but Heart Sitting and Forgetting.

"Can he help me achieve spiritual merging and understand Sitting Forgetting?" Ji Jingqiu was doubtful, not knowing why Hel suddenly brought up this old topic.

"He can certainly help you take several steps forward in spiritual cultivation," Hel said. "Above Heavenly Person, you refine the Dao heart with worldly dust; you refine the dust heart with Heavenly Demon. If you endure it, your spiritual cultivation will naturally rise."

Ji Jingqiu contemplated and said, "I plan to attempt refining the Spiritual Holy Embryo with the Bitter Sea afterward."

He had this idea before; with the recent transformation of the Infinite Wisdom Light, he felt more confident.

Hel thought for a moment too: "If you succeed, then just pretend I didn’t say anything; this guy should just take charge of sweeping the floor in the future."

She casually picked a piece from the bamboo forest, made a small broom, handed it to little Wuzhou, and patted his head, saying:

"Go ahead, from now on sanitation is your responsibility."

Wuzhou, expressionless, involuntarily took the broom.

Ji Jingqiu looked at Wuzhou sweeping in front of him and then glanced at Hel, speechless.

Heavenly Demon clone, surely not meant just for sweeping; Ji Jingqiu wondered what Hel was scheming.

Ji Jingqiu approached the Bodhi Tree.

The Bodhi Tree’s branches and leaves swayed with evident joy, emitting a faint glazed glass light.

A moment later.

Ji Jingqiu exited his inner realm, returning to his flesh body.

Upon reentering his body, Ji Jingqiu immediately felt the burgeoning life energy from his Inner Heaven and Earth nourishing his flesh. With each breath, a vortex formed in the void, clouds swirling, the celestial river pouring down, full of myriad signs.

The divine medicine obtained from the Heavenly Saint Lake this time is called Nine-Headed Herb. Its name appears ordinary, yet it belongs to divine medicines, over a foot tall, shining purple, with nine leaves shaped like dragon heads, enveloped in purple aura, extraordinarily dazzling.

Every divine medicine contains the Illusion Dao; divine medicines are spirited. When Tianqingzi sent it, a Saint personally ordered its sealing.

When Ji Jingqiu unsealed it after receiving it, the plant initially wanted to escape. Fortunately, Hel suggested luring it with the True Spirit Pool.

Upon sensing the True Spirit Pool’s aura, it gave up fleeing. Instead, it clung tightly to Ji Jingqiu’s right leg with its nine leaves, pathetically begging him to let it enter his Inner Heaven and Earth.

With a kind heart, Ji Jingqiu, who still maintained compassion in his cultivation, allowed it to enter his Inner Heaven and Earth.

As soon as it entered, Nine-Headed Herb unceremoniously rooted itself beside the main seat of the True Spirit Pool, pushing other divine medicines aside.

Later, Ji Jingqiu amicably discussed rent with it; the herb proactively integrated its Dao with Heaven and Earth, transforming the realm with its own principles, stimulating life energy.

Being of divine medicine, its affinity with the Dao naturally aligns with "life," making it most suitable for Inner Heaven and Earth transformation.

With Nine-Headed Herb’s assistance, the True Spirit Pool gradually integrated with this Inner Heaven and Earth, indistinguishable, becoming the true core of this realm.

Under the regulation of divine medicine, the True Spirit Pool, and the Swallowing Realm Snake, Ji Jingqiu’s Inner Heaven and Earth gradually prospered.

The opening of a heaven and earth is akin to a nascent child, slowly gaining insight.

After examining the changes in Inner Heaven and Earth, Ji Jingqiu shifted his focus back to his flesh body, where a layer of Infinite Light emerged on his skin, dazzlingly reflecting on his body like glazed glass, pure and transparent.

This time, most of the transformation in breaking through to Heavenly Person belonged entirely to his clone.

Only two aspects are not divided between original self and clone.

The first aspect is the Infinite Wisdom Light, which now shines more brilliantly than before, illuminating and protecting the True Self, and can enhance divine skills and spirit.

Enhancing divine skills, even Supreme Methods like Xing Wuji can "transform."

Enhancing spirit allows for long residence in the Dharma Realm.

The second aspect is the final transformation of the True Self, completing I Am Me, which doesn’t distinguish between original self and clone because it signifies the unity of "I."

Ji Jingqiu carefully realized that over half of I Am Me’s characteristics have been completed through this breakthrough to Heavenly Person.

He clearly perceived at that moment that the scope of omnipresent had expanded more than tenfold.

His spirit harmonized with Heaven and Earth, leisurely radiating outwards, traversing azure clouds and wind, seeing pines growing on mountains and water flowing beneath, the sky high and land vast over thousands of miles.

In just an instant, he "met" all martial artists on East Three Bright Star with a realm above Chains.

...

Feeling the increasingly strong, nearly solitary presence suppressing a star in the high skies of East Three Bright Star, martial artists scattered across the planet displayed complex expressions, with many astonished.

Such a method, even Heart Image, is rare among Heavenly People...

"East Three Bright Star should be the most peaceful and stable among all current ascension platforms."

"The other ascension platforms, except for the one pre-booked by the Holy King Lineage’s Chi Ji, have all fallen into warfare, while this place, perhaps, has benefited from misfortune."

"Perhaps, it is the calm before the storm..."

In a tavern, Huang Zhiyan sat down, ignoring the suitors around, clearly sensing that

She sighed lightly, her gaze dim, such a jade can’t belong to their Phoenix Blood Palace.

Though she was in the Federation, she also learned through the internal channels that in the battle of the third ascension platform not long ago, their Phoenix Blood Palace suffered significant losses, with several junior sisters she knew captured by the No Heaven Daoist of Heavenly Saint Lake, their fates now unknown...
