Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1043 - 375: Locking Onto the Future, Slaying Enemies with Karma

Upon hearing that Jing Qiu was willing to accompany him, Ku He smiled with a hint of sincerity.

Ever since rumors spread, those willing to journey with him have been few and far between.

Even fellow disciples see him as if he were a plague.

Jing Qiu did not rush to leave but instead sat down again at the center of the remaining twelve, determined to complete his transmission of the Dao.

He needed these twelve to help him open the world, so his transmission was naturally wholehearted and without reservation, sincerely assisting them in comprehending the true essence of "Defend Void Silence."

"The Dao flows, yet it does not overflow; deep as the ancestor of all things..."

"Merge with its light, blend with its dust, reach the utmost void, guard stillness with determination; only Tao gathers void, voided heart is Xinzhai..."

"Words are without attachments, not attached to actions of form; words give birth to the heart, giving birth to the heart of the six perfections and myriad deeds..."

"I do not know the origin of ten thousand paths, but my Tao is foremost."

The twelve guided by Jing Qiu were filled with complexities.

The solitary path of the Dao does not merely mean reaching the end where often only oneself can rely.

It also refers to above the Heavenly King, the path and Daoist career are their foundation for existence, and even between father and son, teacher and disciple, there would always be some reservations, let alone transmission to strangers.

Yet this person genuinely tries to teach them some profound truth.

With their discernment, they could see that the path he transmitted is anything but mundane.

Everyone couldn't help but recall the "companion" who was easily abolished by Jing Qiu earlier, sighing lightly in their hearts.

This person is not stingy with transmission, saying and doing simultaneously, applying both kindness and authority...

Thus, they had nothing to worry about, focusing on enlightenment, lest they follow the thirteenth's path.

Ku He's gaze passed over the twelve, feeling shaken; indeed, this person was transmitting the Dao!

A Heavenly Person transmitting the Dao?!

Something unheard of.

Moreover, the Dao's true meaning, as he elaborated, actually resonated greatly even with Ku He.

Especially the final sentence —

Not knowing where ten thousand paths originate, only knowing my Tao is foremost.

Such grand Qi Po, standing shoulder to shoulder with those masters of the Dao!

After completing the transmission, Jing Qiu did not involve the twelve within Inner Heaven and Earth, as it would hinder their communion with the Great Cosmic Dao.

He marked them, left a prohibition here to ensure he could return at any time, and then set off with Ku He.

On the journey.

Ku He's indirect inquiries yielded him many previously missing pieces from Jing Qiu, feeling much newfound insight, anticipating great benefit upon returning and entering seclusion.

He thought to himself that this Ten Thousand Skills Taoist Friend was indeed generous; such magnanimity and breadth surely could awaken those old seniors from the Five Pillars era.

He had heard that in that era, All Spirits pursued, Gods discussed the Tao, with no distinction between gates.

Very well, as this person is so open-hearted, he mustn't falter himself, lest he be underestimated by this posthumous spirit from later generations...

In his fluctuating thoughts, Ku He dispelled some original plans, willingly speaking:

"Taoist Friend, we need to hurry our search; I previously saw a Dao Source descending from the Dharma Realm, caught by a towering Divine Tree — this is our primary search target."

"A towering Divine Tree?" Jing Qiu asked in surprise, "Could you mean the Cangqing Lineage?"

Ku He quickly waved his hand: "How could I mistake the World Tree of the Cangqing Lineage; that Divine Tree should be a branch of it."

"Oh?" Jing Qiu quickly considered a possibility, could it be the Forest of Group Stars where the Spirit Clan resides?

Jing Qiu immediately recalled an old acquaintance.

Since the Five Pillars returned and Cangqing Lineage reemerged, Qin Qingjue and Ke Pingluan had gone deep into Po Suo's Half-plane, formally joining Cangqing's core.

Accompanying them was the elf maiden Mu Rouzhi from the distant Forest of Group Stars.

Twenty years ago, the elf maiden, now...

Still an elf maiden.

This is the allure of longevity species.

"It should be this direction!"

Jing Qiu watched as Ku He randomly pointed, then suddenly pinpointed a direction, speaking with confidence.

This guy... guessing?

Jing Qiu's eyes reflected Ku He's Karma line; after seeing some fragmented scenes, he did not object.

Both possessing the trait of "omniscient," where the Spirit radiates, there the body resides.

Therefore, even traversing the vast starry sky, their speed was not slow at all.

Shortly after.

Ku He revealed a joyous expression, pointing ahead:

"Brother Ji, it's there!"

Ahead in the starry sky, a towering Divine Tree stood at the center of the Star Domain; no planets or continents, cities built on the branches and leaves of this Divine Tree.

A cluster of palaces rested on the canopy.

At this moment, this Divine Tree emitted a shimmering emerald light, forming a barrier, isolating external invasions.

Jing Qiu's gaze fell on the palace cluster.

A golden-haired elf with striking beauty and posture stood in front of the majestic palace cluster, with azure ripples stirring in her brow, establishing a certain connection with the Divine Tree beneath her.

Behind her stood a phantom of the Divine Tree, transformed by Dao Wonders; amidst the breeze, tender leaves rustled and scattered, divine flowers bloomed, falling onto her dark hair, sublimely complementing her out-of-this-world appearance.

That was the old acquaintance, Mu Rouzhi.

Compared to back then, the maiden's appearance and body had notably developed; she could no longer be called a maiden, and her temperament had transformed considerably, with resolute and calm eyes, no longer the old acquaintance who knew only to hide behind others.

"Oh, someone has arrived before us."

Ku He frowned, seeing two figures attacking the Divine Tree.
