Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

——This is a message released by the Great Red Sky Palace itself.

Xi Yezi nodded and said, "No wonder, his sect's legacy is very interesting. If there's a chance in the future, you can introduce me to them."

After saying this, he looked at the Green Master in Ji Jingqiu's hand and commented, "The foundation of this blade is not bad. I've made some simple adjustments to it, integrating some special metals to enhance its overall flexibility. Now, all you need to do is to continually nurture it with your spirit."

"Thank you, Master Xi Yezi," Ji Jingqiu expressed his gratitude.

"You are the taboo of this generation; there's no need for such politeness," Xi Yezi courteously replied, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"Let me see you out."

After seeing off Master Xi Yezi, Ji Jingqiu returned to his cultivation chamber.

The Inheritance Ancient Road was about to begin, and he was making final preparations, recalling the plans that he and Master Gu and the others had devised.

The Inheritance Ancient Road is divided into two phases.

The first phase is about survival, simply put, staying alive. It is also the best time for martial artists to scavenge for opportunities.

The essence of the Ancient Road is a collection of numerous Inner Heaven and Earths, Sub-level Universe Planes. Within these already shattered cosmic planes, one can find natives, mythical creatures, or some other monsters.

Under the influence of the will of the Ancient Road, they will all hunt down the creatures attempting trials on the Ancient Road.

However, these broken planes also abound with opportunities and fortune: Divine Remains, Divine Power Seeds, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanisms...

According to records, even the 'World Origin,' the most precious resource on the Ancient Road, is included, which can aid martial artists in opening up their Inner Heaven and Earth in advance!

The strong explore various shattered planes in search of fortune, while the weak struggle to survive. This is the first phase of the Inheritance Ancient Road and the prime moment for many martial artists to breakthrough and transform.

The second phase is the trial path.

Once inside the Ancient Road, every martial artist will act under the scrutiny of the will of the Ancient Road, and all actions will be 'scored.'

This includes defeating other martial artists, harvesting rare resources, hunting mythical creatures, natives... and so on. All such deeds will be recorded, contributing to a total score and a ranking.

In the end, only the martial artists ranked in the top ten thousand are qualified to enter the final trial path, to compete and aim for a spot on the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele.

For Ji Jingqiu, to vie for the ultimate ranking on the Ten Thousand Ancient Stele, it is imperative that he achieves a Perfect Transformation in the Divine Travel Realm.

Law Domain, nascent dojo, Formless Dao Body, Divine Skills... all must undergo a transformative metamorphosis in a short span.

And to achieve all of this, the opportunities and fortunes on the Ancient Road are necessary.

Ji Jingqiu calculated inwardly.

He currently held three Dao Spirit Machines in his hand, two nine feet nine, and one nine feet three - the Water Moon Spirit Machine, Clear Wind Spirit Mechanism, and the Mountain Spirit Machine sponsored by Yuan Dongtian Palace, respectively.

Once the Ancient Road opens, it may span from a year to several years; he anticipated spending a considerable amount of time searching for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism that suits him and refining it.

To seek resources and fortunes, the speed of one person is, in fact, a bit slow...

Master Gu has found two followers for him, one named Lu Zhen, and the other named Qian You, both of whom are his own people. The latter is even a descendant of Qian Chong, and they both signed contracts that can be trusted.

After meeting them on the Ancient Road, they can assist him with some odd jobs.

Lastly, Gu also taught him the method of forming contracts, hoping that he could establish his own force once he reaches the Ancient Road.

On the Ancient Road, just from Yanfu State alone, there are eight hundred million martial artists, and the total number of people from the entire Far East war zone will exceed two billion.

Plus, with the vastness of the Ancient Road, the strength of an individual is ultimately limited, so he needs his own force to assist in searching for resources, intelligence.

Marshal He in the past did not deliberately build a force, but as he advanced, he imperceptibly became the center, pulling together a strong alliance.

In addition, Gu gave him a token, with which he can mobilize certain natives on the Ancient Road. Ancestors from the Nine Palaces once developed forces on the Ancient Road; this is a legacy of the past, and various forces have similar measures, but how much remains to this day is uncertain.

As for building a force, Ji Jingqiu was not very confident in himself; he lacked experience in this area. His initial plan was to subdue some young strong warriors, win through fists, gradually expand his influence, and attract people he knows to come together.

Like warriors from the Federation and the Nine Palaces.

As the opening of the Ancient Road approached, Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged and adjusted his breath for a long time

Until this afternoon.

The countdown to the opening of the Inheritance Ancient Road officially began.

The higher-ups of the Great Red Sky Palace came one by one to bid farewell to Ji Jingqiu, offering encouragement and blessings.

"Jingqiu, how is your cultivation of that Innate Divine Ability going?" Qian Chong came over and curiously asked.

Ever since he witnessed Ji Jingqiu repel the black fog of the Nether Sea, he had taken a special interest in Ji Jingqiu's divine ability.

"It has advanced quite a bit recently," Ji Jingqiu replied. In this period, nourished by the divine substance that his brothers and Master Gu provided, his Innate Divine Ability entered a new stage, not far from perfection.

This progress was unbelievable; generally, achieving perfection in a divine ability is something that could only be accomplished in the Chains Realm.

Compared to the [Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp], his [Bodhi Eye] was still in its initial stage.

Qian Chong asked, "Can it be shared with other people?"

Ji Jingqiu's fingertips slowly lit up with a soft and restrained light, yet it seemed it could illuminate all darkness. He nodded and said, "My [Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp] has already developed its first layer of profundity; it's able to condense a wick to be gifted to other martial artists. Just need to nurture it with the Power of the Spirit, and it can ward off evil."
