Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 475 - 206 Inheritance of the Void, Worshipping the Four Gods_3

Chapter 475: Chapter 206 Inheritance of the Void, Worshipping the Four Gods_3

Such a force placed on the Ancient Road should not be underestimated either.

Additionally, with no strong beings from the Four Gods Church appearing to restrain them, they were quickly suppressed and attacked.

In the middle of the battle, a riot broke out among the people of the Four Gods Church, with more than half of them turning against their own and joining the attackers, striking with even more cruelty than the other side.

If guessed correctly, those who turned coat were likely the "Independent Martial Artists" forcibly conscripted by the Four Gods Church to help excavate this place.

Ji Jingqiu, watching from a high place, clicked his tongue in amazement, and only after confirming that the Four Gods Church was completely falling behind, did he leave at ease and hurried to Sky Star City in search of treasures.

Soon after his departure,

This mysterious force completely eradicated the followers of the Four Gods Church, leaving only a few Independent Martial Artists who had shown strong resistance before, considering them somewhat meritorious.

However, they did not allow them to leave but took control over everyone.

And after cleaning up the martial artists of the Four Gods Church, the top figures from the Beast Sea gathered to discuss silently for a moment before dispersing, seemingly in search of something.

Among them, a perceptive Independent Martial Artist recognized the true identities of this band.

"Beast Sea! These fellows come from the Beast Sea faction within the Overlord Forces of Yanfu State!" someone whispered.

"No wonder they attacked this place; being martial artists of the Beast Sea, more or less all possess the bloodline of the Void Giant Beasts, they couldn’t just watch their ancestors’ remains fall into the hands of others."

Hearing the true origins of this group, many showed understanding in their eyes, thinking they had found the reason.

"There’s no taboos for the top-tier martial artists of this generation of Beast Sea?"

"There used to be, but they failed the breakthrough outside the Ancient Road. After entering the Ancient Road, it was said that some had reached the level of Quasi-taboo, but none of the young Supremes entered the Taboo Sequence."

"Without entering the taboo, after all, they fall short, not everyone can rise above after the Divine Travel."

"Shh, even if they’re inferior, they could trivially crush you and me."

"By the way, have you heard, the one from Beast Sea who failed the breakthrough also entered the Ancient Road?"

"What? Isn’t a failure in breakthrough practically half-crippled? Entered the Ancient Road, does he still harbor thoughts of defying fate?"

"Hard to say, anything can happen on the Ancient Road; perhaps there might be feats of breaking down to rebuild, achieving Nirvana..."

...

...

A few days later.

Ji Jingqiu entered Sky Star City following the crowd.

Given the precedents set by Weber and Crassus, to prevent being recognized by someone from the Four Gods Church, he slightly altered his physique and facial appearance.

This was easily achievable for him who had cast the Formless Dao Body.

The architectural style of Sky Star City was quite modern, with the Four Gods Church’s headquarters being a Divine Temple built in the center of the city. They didn’t forbid entry; on the contrary, they were very welcoming to other martial artists entering to worship.

Ji Jingqiu spent half a day touring around Sky Star City roughly understanding the surrounding terrain, effectively scouting the area, and then proceeded to the main goal.

Approaching the entrance of the Divine Temple, Ji Jingqiu was warmly welcomed by the followers of the Four Gods.

This made Ji Jingqiu feel somewhat unexpectedly honored; even with a changed appearance, he was still very popular.

Until he noticed that these followers expressed the same enthusiasm towards all martial artists.

In the eyes of these followers, martial artists from the Nine States entering this place and becoming devout followers of the Venerable God was a kind of intangible "achievement."

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, lamenting the decline of moral standards, and walked straight in.

Inside the temple stood four statues of the gods, this was Ji Jingqiu’s first time seeing the statues of the Four Demons, which was basically impossible to observe in such completeness within the Federation; it was forbidden imagery.

One statue was Formless, clearly standing there yet giving a sense of emptiness, deep and profound as if residing above the thirty-three heavens.

One statue had the appearance of an elderly man, eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life, a face of compassion for the world, pitying the suffering of all beings, pitying the struggle of all spirits, pitying the mortal world like a prison.

One statue wore an imperial crown and robe, had three faces and six arms, holding a Pure Bottle, Dharma Bell, moon disk... with an aura of noble sanctity, so majestic and solemn that it allowed no blasphemy.

The last statue looked ordinary, with a demeanor as mild as water, far less "distinct" than the previous three, but its eyes were pitch-black and deep, seemingly able to encompass everything.

Ji Jingqiu’s gaze fixed on the fourth statue, although he had anticipated it, he couldn’t help but sigh quietly in his heart, unable to match this face with any from the Federation’s textbooks.

"Brother, here’s free incense for worship, please pay your respects."

The devotees over there were still warmly entertaining, which greatly broadened Ji Jingqiu’s horizons.

Out of politeness to their enthusiasm, Ji Jingqiu reluctantly accepted an incense stick, hesitated, then stepped back and offered a reverence to the four divine statues simultaneously, as if to equally distribute the offering.

At that moment, Ji Jingqiu seemed to hear Hel’s soft chuckle.

After finishing the ritual.

Ji Jingqiu handed the incense to the devotee, who helped him insert it into the incense burner. He took this opportunity to look around, walking towards a side hall of the Divine Temple.

The devotee, feeling joyful about inserting the incense into the burner, perceived themselves as having accrued more merit, bringing them one step closer to entering the Divine Country of the Venerable God after death.

They turned to greet the next Martial Artist, not noticing that the incense was burning unusually fast, nearly reaching its end in an instant.

The next moment.

The four divine statues started to tremble slightly.

Somebody noticed the anomaly, but a second later saw nothing unusual, thinking it was just a trick of the eyes.

Until a faint cracking sound was heard.

Then, a series of cracking sounds followed.

Having already reached the side hall, Ji Jingqiu suddenly heard the unrestrainable laughter of Hel from deep within his heart, the mocking tone undisguised.

While he was puzzled, a thunderous uproar sounded from behind him. Turning around, he saw a long crack appearing on one of the divine statues, causing numerous devotees to swarm up and shout in a chaotic storm.

Ji Jingqiu fell silent for a moment, wondering if this had anything to do with him?

Never mind, it wouldn’t matter even if it did.

Taking advantage of the chaos, he silently moved deeper into the place, intent on searching for treasures.

He had already learned the method to enter the treasure vault from Crassus and Weber,

At this moment, it was perfect to take advantage of the chaos in the Divine Temple and stealthily make his way to the deepest part.

Until he entered the treasure vault, Ji Jingqiu was somewhat in disbelief, feeling that this treasure hunt was going unusually smoothly.

Is this the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the opportunity for creation, meant for those with virtue?

Wandering in the treasure vault, Ji Jingqiu was momentarily dazzled. He directly headed to the deepest part and saw seven or eight strands of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism that were secured here by Secret Techniques.

His face lit up with joy, he strode forward, carefully examined the Spiritual Mechanisms, and found that almost all were superior, with two even being nine feet nine!

He wondered how long the Four Gods Church had been collecting these and how many Martial Artists had been mobilized to find so many superior Spiritual Mechanisms.

Indeed, this path was not a mistake!

Ji Jingqiu didn’t decline any of them, taking all into his Inner World, even if he didn’t use them himself, he could gift them to those close to him.

With the two strands of nine feet nine Spiritual Mechanisms from this time, he had now collected four in total, and with the three already refined, that made seven.

Once he had assimilated them all, this number would match the historical record of the Federation.

Ji Jingqiu made up his mind, once this job was done, he could return and start refining them first.

After collecting the Spiritual Mechanisms, he continued to seek treasures. Under Hel’s direction, he found several rare medicines that could increase Life Origin, not delaying to take them immediately, refining their power, preparing to strike at the second layer of the Divine Storage right there!

He looked around, feeling emotional.

A breakthrough needed a quiet and safe location, and this place was suitable as a spot for secluded cultivation. Not only were there people guarding outside the door, but the materials around were abundant and freely available.

...

...

Outside the treasure vault, the Divine Temple was in complete disarray.

The upper echelons of the Four Gods Church were thoroughly alarmed, as the appearance of cracks in the divine statues was an ominous sign!

"What happened? Why are there cracks in the divine statues?"

"Where are today’s guards?!"

"Where are the Divine Sons, where did they go?!"
