Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Because Ji Jingqiu was indeed undergoing the baptism of the Bitter Sea!

This illusory projection of the Bitter Sea actually materialized in the True Realm, rain imbued with the Power of Bitter Sea drenching his body, baptizing his flesh.

No, this wasn't just a refining baptism!

It was a tribulation!

No wonder he was able to cultivate a trace of Immortal Divine in the Divine Travel Realm!

Because he was undergoing a tribulation!

Even the All Gods would not dare to cross this Bitter Sea filled with countless calamities!

Hel's spirit was shaken.

How could this young man withstand the Bitter Sea without being eroded by the Eight Sufferings, unaffected by unending tribulations?

Vaguely, Hel seemed to see an ancient, weathered green glazed lamp lit above Ji Jingqiu's head.

Its light was serene and bright, seemingly illuminating the depths of the Bitter Sea, as if to light a path of transcendence directly to the other shore for all beings.

Hel, in surprise and doubt, wondered if it was with the aid of this lamp that Ji Jingqiu could ignore the Eight Sufferings embodied by the Bitter Sea.

Then what was this lamp? Even with her vision and knowledge, she couldn't ascertain the origins or essence of this green lamp.

What exactly had Mu Shitian hidden in this Visualization Map?

Hel's gaze was deep, and without waiting for Ji Jingqiu to finish this Bitter Sea baptism, she directly asked:

"Do you know you are undergoing a tribulation right now? How do you manage to bear the Bitter Sea upon you without being eroded by the Eight Sufferings?"

Ji Jingqiu, still refining his body, was contemplating the transformations within his flesh when he suddenly heard Hel's question, which made him recall a period of his past and a person.

Supreme True Buddha Sect, Li Buyi.

The Martial Artist who had once ventured into his spiritual world, attempting to seize everything he had, but ultimately failed and perished in his Inner World.

It was also on that day, he faintly understood that this Pure Land was a manifestation of his own hardships, and of his everything.

Although it was later proven not just to be that—as the blood rain overhead was a reflection of the True Bitter Sea—it did not hinder the insights he gained that day.

For example—

"My spirit reaches the other shore, unscathed by myriad tribulations."

Even without the Glazed Glass Pure Land, when he seated himself here, the blood rain from the sky still could not harm him at all.

At this moment.

Ji Jingqiu fell into deep thought, immune to the Bitter Sea, untouched by tribulations, wondering what made him special in this regard, whether it was bestowed by the [Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization] or originated from himself?

It was a question worthy of contemplation, perhaps related to the true reason he managed to cultivate the [Fire House Buddha Hell] and the foundation of the Wisdom Light.

Just then.

Ji Jingqiu unexpectedly noticed a little creature stirring awake, caught by surprise, the Swallowing Realm Snake had chosen this moment to emerge!

According to his sensing, it should have taken at least a few more days.

The little creature suddenly emerging, caught Ji Jingqiu off guard.

Accompanied by fervent waves in spirit communication, the Void rippled open layer by layer. Power of Heaven and Earth from all directions converged, forming into a cocoon!

Soon, a pitch-black small snake, ordinary with nothing unusual, crawled out of the cocoon.

Precisely speaking, the little creature didn't look like a snake, but rather a bug, perhaps it had overindulged previously as at this moment, it was chubby and not at all slender.

It sniffed around, seemingly smelling something it yearned for, extremely delighted, it slipped into Ji Jingqiu's neck, burrowing into his clothes, and coiled on his chest.

Ji Jingqiu was slightly surprised; he felt that this little creature was actually absorbing the Power of Bitter Sea coursing through his physique?

He didn't mind, but he was worried that the little one couldn't handle it, so he controlled the amount.

With the tempering of the Power of Bitter Sea, this creature's pitch-black shell suddenly became like burning charcoal in the night, its body a flickering red glow, as if undergoing some kind of transformation.

Ji Jingqiu was astonished; it was transforming with the aid of the Power of Bitter Sea right after birth.

Could it be that it was born prematurely because it sensed the Bitter Sea Water?

Witnessing this in the Inner World, Hel's pupils contracted.

Though the Swallowing Realm Snake is of the royal family among Void Giant Beasts, known by the name of Swallow Realm, it should also not dare to provoke the Bitter Sea.

Was it spoiled by Ji Jingqiu?

A Swallowing Realm Snake unafraid of the Bitter Sea Water...

Hel's expression was serious; a little monster raised another little monster.

Finally, the newborn transformed into a dark gold color, its head and tail meeting, becoming a bracelet that voluntarily "hung" on Ji Jingqiu's left wrist.

At the same time, it communicated through spirit to Ji Jingqiu, filled with affection in its spiritual waves, and let out a tiny yawn.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu also had to end his Bitter Sea Body Refining due to the erosion of his divinity.

He felt his physique had grown stronger by a section, which was quite unexpected.

He had already reached the zenith in the Divine Travel Realm.

Theoretically, his physical body shouldn't be able to advance any further at his current realm, unless he broke through the Chains Realm.

But now, to his surprise, Bitter Sea Body Refining seemed to be able to lift his limits!

Unfortunately, limited by the erosion of his divinity, he could not maintain it for long; each session required intervals of three to four months.

Ji Jingqiu gently caressed the little creature on his left hand, its warm, delicate touch harboring a vigorous life potential that might even surpass his, truly befitting a Void Giant Beast.

In his perception, the little creature fell into a slumber right after birth, having undergone its first transformation post-birth.

This was inconsistent with the information from Xuanqing.

According to Xuanqing, a Void Giant Beast needs to ingest a large amount of high-energy substances after birth, and it would not enter its first transformation phase until several years later.

Ji Jingqiu pondered; since it was a Void Giant Beast raised by him, being unorthodox was normal.

He stood up, feeling the vigorous vitality stored within every inch and bit of his physique; unsurprisingly, he had grown slightly stronger.

"This time... it's almost time to prepare for the trial land. I should summon the others to synchronize and make the final preparations." Always read from the source: M|V|LE4MPYR.

Ji Jingqiu murmured lowly, thus ending his seclusion to prepare for the trial land happening in half a month.

The reward for this trial was the Ancient Road Origin, which was seemingly tailor-made for him.

This time, he would not hold back; he needed to hunt more invaders to obtain the Ancient Road Origin and strengthen his Inner World!

Without accidents, he would grow increasingly stronger amidst the battle.

As Ji Jingqiu emerged from seclusion, summoning the others as the Master of Far East, those in their final seclusions or those adventuring in the holy land and breaking taboos, all gathered at the Sun and Moon Plane for the final exchange of martial knowledge.

This exchange lasted half a month with Ji Jingqiu personally overseeing it, accepting any challenges.

In the end, everyone gained plenty until just three days before the countdown to the trial journey, then they each departed.

The ten thousand selected from the Far East war region were calmly waiting for the trial land to open!

However, not all war regions were as harmonious as the Far East.

This Ancient Road was divided into four major war regions, and the other three regions were almost all engaged in fierce battles for the final spots, hunting each other!
