Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

"The instruction manual stated that the best way to inject the gene enhancer is to enter a medical cultivation chamber filled with oxygen-rich nutrient liquid, mimicking the breathing in the womb, thereby entering an alternative Fetal Breathing State for better absorption of the medicine's potency."

"Unfortunately, Ji Jingqiu didn't have these conditions."

"Moreover, he felt that this method was unreliable."

"The fourth realm of Spiritual Cultivation is Fetal Breathing, which is even above Pan Ding, but even Master Yang has not yet stepped into Pan Ding."

"It's not something that can be entered by simply imitating external conditions."

"Additionally, the instruction manual specifically pointed out that the enhanced transformation process would be extremely painful, and it was suggested to bite down on a towel before injection."

"However, Ji Jingqiu blatantly ignored this point."

"If he really couldn't endure it, he would just retreat into the Visualization Pure Land."

"Could this thing be more formidable than the Evil Poison Disease?"

"As Ji Jingqiu's thoughts slowly dispersed."

"A burning sensation naturally arose from beneath his root bone, surging from his organs, piercing through his limbs and bones, and finally reaching his skin, as if his entire body, inside and out, was undergoing the ordeal of a ruthless inferno."

"It was as if a heavy hammer was treating him as a piece of rough iron, hammering him from the inside out."

"Only through the fierce fire and thousands of hammerings could the impurities be removed, forging him into a piece of refined iron."

"This non-human agony made Ji Jingqiu frown."

"He inexplicably felt this sensation was somewhat familiar."

"That's right, it was very similar to the experiment conducted by Sir Mu."

"That experiment had set him on a path of self-rescue."

"The world seemed like a melting pot, where people were submerged, and if heaven won't save them, everyone must save themselves."

"At this moment, Ji Jingqiu gained a new understanding of the Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Method, and with his current state, he entered a profound and mysterious realm—"

"His body was in the furnace, enduring the tempering of True Fire, while his spirit sank into a dark deep sea."

"In the obscurity, that unknown call traveled over majestic mountains and crossed the great rivers, reaching his ears."

"He followed this call unconsciously, sinking into the dark seawater."

"The sound of flowing water rushed in his ears."

"Ji Jingqiu felt like he was returning to the womb that nurtured life, embarking on a completely new life journey."

"He had never been so peaceful, as if lying in his mother's arms, with a woman's gentle lullaby in his ears."

"An endless drowsiness emerged out of nowhere, urging him to fall into a deep sleep."

"Just as he was about to "close his eyes", a cyan Heart Lamp ignited in front of his brow, reminding him not to walk into this peaceful night."

"In a moment, a small tree sprouted and grew from the Heart Lamp, eventually taking root above Ji Jingqiu's head, fluttering a few leaves, yet it supported a round light, preserving Ji Jingqiu's spirit."

"He instantly regained clarity."

"By letting go of one thought, all forms of freedom could be obtained."

"After regaining clarity."

"Even though Ji Jingqiu had never been here before, he immediately recognized that this was the depths of the Spirit Ocean."

"He reflected for a moment and quickly understood his situation."

"He had just gained a new insight on the Visualization Method."

"This was originally a good thing, but it also led him to inadvertently sink into the depths of the Spirit Ocean, nearly losing his way."

"The root of this was the mismatch between spiritual cultivation and Life Body cultivation."

"This was the first time he personally felt that his spiritual cultivation had truly "exceeded the limits."

"Heaven doesn't save people; people save themselves..."

"Ji Jingqiu silently recited this phrase, relying on the purifying light shed by the Bodhi Tree, and escaped the peril of getting lost."

"His consciousness returned to his original body, and the transformation from the gene enhancer was still not complete."

"Ji Jingqiu, moved by a thought, overlaid the state enhanced by Wisdom Light, entering a type of introspective state."

"Like the sun and moon shining on the mountain formations, everything was exposed."

"Even clearer than the previous sensing through Qi Force!"

In his perception, his body was like a fragile porcelain statue, including internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, bones...

Every part was undergoing fundamental and subtle changes for the better.

He tentatively mobilized the Qi Force, following the newly formed "Mountain Formation," actively reshaping the "rivers" according to his own will.

The previously hard-to-turn twists and painful barriers were now easily smoothed out by the rushing Qi Force.

He followed the Mountain Formation, almost completely according to his will, digging out rivers that best matched his ideal.

As he continued to dig, the blood and Qi surged repeatedly, and the murmuring flow of Qi Force gradually thickened and refined.

The cost, however, was a quivering and burning sensation in every limb and bone, as the tide of agony spread throughout his body.

This transformation-like pain persisted for a long time, like opening a sluice until the accumulated reservoir gradually dried up, then it gradually calmed down.

Ultimately, Ji Jingqiu fell into a state between sleep and wakefulness.

When Ji Jingqiu gradually awoke.

An unprecedented sensation transmitted from his fingertips, coursing through his limbs and bones.

He slowly rose, sitting cross-legged for a long time without feeling any numbness in his feet, instead, there was a sense of being light as a feather and possessing inherent divine power.

It was as if he had shed the impurities of the mundane world, his blood and Qi autonomously surged with the operation of Breathing Skills.

Ji Jingqiu raised his hand, his body appeared translucent, having undergone a transformation, and there seemed to be...

A faint fragrance?

He sniffed carefully, and indeed it was there.

Generally, after a transformation, isn't one supposed to expel impurities and reek?

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but sniff again, finding it quite pleasant.

He went to the bathroom, took off his clothes; his muscle contours not sharply pronounced but seemed perfect, with a vibrant life force within.

He took a shower, wiped himself dry, and found that the fragrance on his body did not fade.

This left Ji Jingqiu somewhat astonished.

It felt like those ancient records of highly skilled old Daoist priests and monks, with transparent flesh bodies carrying a fragrance, not decaying even after death.

In ancient times, this was seemingly called a "Reincarnation Body."

Could the gene enhancer be this effective?

Ji Jingqiu fell into deep thought, planning to continue seeking Master Yang tomorrow for a clear explanation.

Only then did Ji Jingqiu realize that it was already past five in the morning.

This transformation had lasted over eight hours!

The potency of the medicine was immense; even without testing, he could sense that this transformation far exceeded his expectations.

He was one step closer to "self-rescue."

Ji Jingqiu pulled back the long-sealed curtains in the room.

The sun in Taian City generally rises after six in the morning, which clashed with the timing of his ailment.

Thus, he had forgotten when he last saw a sunrise.

Ji Jingqiu stood quietly by the window, watching the unfamiliar urban skyline, overseeing the dawn's arrival.

The towering city skyline blocked the first ray of sunrise.

Over time, that golden glow in the distance gradually expanded.

A ray of sunrise crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and reached Ji Jingqiu's eyes.

His eyes were as calm as the sky tinted by the sunrise, gentle and warm.

By the time the sun fully rose, his clothes were soaked with sweat. Ji Jingqiu maintained the first onset of the illness using the Visualization Method.

His expression slightly weary.

He squinted, spread his palm towards the vibrant sunrise in the sky.

The skin around his palm emitted the radiant golden color of the sunrise.

Then, he clenched his fist.

As if grasping that Arrogant Sun.
