Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 89 - 84: The Wholehearted Dedication of the Bone Arhat

Sure, here is the translated text based on your instructions:

The Buddha Country was the core of the Supreme True Buddha Sect and the key to its foundation.

In Bage's words, the Buddha Country provided an eternal spiritual anchor for the strong of the Supreme True Buddha Sect, ensuring they did not lose themselves in the Spirit Ocean and could explore at will.

*Exploring the Spirit Ocean...*

Ji Jingqiu recalled the process of exploring the Spirit Ocean over the past two months.

*Two words to describe it: boring.*

At first, he was attracted by the mystery of the Spirit Ocean. According to descriptions on certain online forums, it was a mysterious and fertile land, a treasure trove full of opportunities.

But after several explorations, he decisively gave up.

Because there was nothing there anymore. After 10,000 years of exploration, only eternal darkness and unpredictable dangers remained.

It was like a journey that was supposed to be beautiful, but along the way, apart from the trash left by predecessors, even the sky was always gray with no sunlight.

It was far less enjoyable than getting up close and personal with the Supreme True Buddha.

The process of guiding into the Buddha Country was not difficult. The key lay in guiding permissions, and first praying to the Supreme True Buddha before entering the Buddha Country.

This was somewhat like a search mechanism. Only true believers with sincere devotion could enter this land.

Ji Jingqiu firmly believed that his desire for the True Buddha would not lose to anyone!

Indeed, the guiding and searching process went smoothly. Under Li Buyi's permission and the cover of the Bodhi Tree, Ji Jingqiu successfully entered the Buddha Country of the Supreme True Buddha physically for the first time.

Gazing at the huge white Buddha statue in the distance, Ji Jingqiu was full of longing.

A silk thread fell on his wrist.

After completing processes like certification and entering a name, he legally and properly owned an internal account.

Unfortunately, he was still in Body Refining and not qualified to have a Fruit Position; otherwise, he could have given himself an Arhat-related nickname.

Once everything was ready, Ji Jingqiu patiently waited, not rushing to absorb today's offering.

Fortunately, events unfolded within his control.

Before long, a friend request came through.

[Bone Arhat]: Ji Jingqiu, I am the one sent from above to connect with you.

Why, you really intercepted Hu!

[Ji]: Wasn't Senior Li Buyi the one connecting with me?

[Bone Arhat]: He's temporarily unable to enter the central area, and even there, the help he can offer is very limited.

[Ji]: Senior Gu can help me establish a foothold?

[Bone Arhat]: I'm here for this very reason. We've already figured out the situation within the Star Group and are ready to support Lou Qinglan, making her your puppet to control the central area's group division and then aim for the Star Group's board of directors!

[Ji]:... What confidence does Senior Gu have?

[Bone Arhat]: Haha, certain people within the Star Group have already contacted us, hoping we can join hands to get rid of Lou Qinglan in the central area.

Ji Jingqiu fell into silence.

Were those people not learning their lesson?

They still dared to cooperate with the Supreme True Buddha Sect?

[Bone Arhat]:

We are in the process of obtaining their specific plans. Before you reach the central area, I will try to send them to you.

Additionally, the sect has nurtured some martial artists in the central area; although their identities are very clean, just in case, they won't assist you. They will serve as your stepping stones to amplify your fame!

After listening to this, Ji Jingqiu was stunned for a long time before he reacted, mourning for certain people in the Star Group for three minutes.

[Bone Arhat]: What you need to do is tightly control Lou Qinglan, making her your 'supplicant,' completely dependent on you in both body and mind!

[Ji]: Do you mean making Lou Qinglan convert to the True Buddha?

[Bone Arhat]: That will depend on your skills.

[Ji]: If aided by a Holy Object of the True Buddha, I am confident I can make her convert to our Buddha!

[Bone Arhat]: The True Buddha cannot spare a divine spirit recently, so we cannot provide a Holy Object for you in the near future.

[Bone Arhat]: Once you control the Star Division, your attention should still turn to the Dragon Tiger Dojo, striving to enter the core layer of the dojo as soon as possible.

[Bone Arhat]: Keep up the effort. Once you forge your Cultivation Body, I will help you apply for the Arhat Fruit, assisting you in Reversing the Innate soon!

Ji Jingqiu tentatively asked—

[Ji]: After joining the dojo, what will be expected of me?

[Bone Arhat]: No rush, it's still early for you. When that day comes, the sect will have you cooperate to complete a grand plan, at which time the True Buddha will greet true freedom!

Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

The giant pure white Buddha loomed ahead in his vision.

*True freedom?*

Ji Jingqiu tried asking a few more questions, but Bone Arhat was tight-lipped, eventually hinting not to reveal their connection to a third party.

In essence, not to Li Buyi.

After ending the call, Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, finally deciding to proceed cautiously.

...

In the next few days,

besides daily cultivation,

Ji Jingqiu carefully reviewed the handbook Master Yang prepared for him, gaining a deeper understanding of the Four Guardian Stars.

This place indeed had many strange rules.

For example, upon first arrival, everyone was required to undergo a three-day isolation period, regardless of who they were.

During these three days, no one would visit them; they were also required not to leave or communicate with anyone.

*What were they afraid of?*

Ji Jingqiu couldn't figure it out.

Master Yang's handbook also mentioned that the Four Guardian Stars was a place for nurturing young martial artists, so there, strength was the sole discourse power.

And the most critical evaluation of strength was a tower named "White Jade City."

After thoroughly reading the handbook, Ji Jingqiu also obtained a lot of information from Ji Anming several times.

During this time,

not sure if it was a misconception, Ji Jingqiu inexplicably felt that the relationship between Ji Anming and Lou Qinglan wasn't good.

Ji Anming was very friendly towards him.

But towards Lou Qinglan, he seemed somewhat cold.

However, that was their family matter, and he didn't plan to get involved.

In those days, Ji Jingqiu was already preparing to break through to the True Seed Realm.

But on that day, Lou Qinglan voluntarily visited him for the first time.

Upon receiving Ji Jingqiu's permission, Lou Qinglan stepped into the room, opened the terminal projection, and a series of images leaped into the air.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes were drawn to them.

After boarding the ship, Lou Qinglan, who had kept herself holed up in the room, took a breath and said seriously:

"This is the information I've compiled over these days. This part consists of technological devices that can help you advance further in martial arts; additionally, the Star Group also has a top-tier medical team at the Four Guardian Stars."

"If you're not interested in these devices, I've calculated before coming here that once I stabilize my position, I can temporarily allocate 90 million in liquid funds to support you in forging a Cultivation Body. More than that would affect company operations and give those people an excuse to attack me."

At this point, the young woman seemed to think her offer wasn't enough, and she emphasized her tone:

"If one day, you help me return to the board and reclaim my parents' legacy, I will also do my utmost to realize your dream."

Staring at the unheard-of high-tech, Ji Jingqiu was silent for a moment and then looked at Lou Qinglan:

"You've been cooped up in your room these days, just doing this?"

The young woman nodded, her eyes seemingly tempered by time, left with only resilience.

Ji Jingqiu thought of the photos he saw at the Order Office, of the quirky girl identical yet entirely different from now.

But he wasn't surprised. People always grew up alongside loss.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, saying, "It seems we have common goals now."

Lou Qinglan pursed her lips slightly and waved her hand, this time unveiling character images with identity information and positions at the bottom left.

"Then they are our enemies." Lou Qinglan's expression was firm.

...

On the last day before reaching the central area,

Ji Jingqiu began attempting to break through to the True Seed Realm.

This realm was also referred to as the original stone, meaning considering oneself as raw stone, continuously polishing and refining until becoming a brilliant gem.

And forging the Cultivation Body was the continuous process of polishing and refining.

Breaking through the True Seed was not difficult for Ji Jingqiu; after Opening Veins, he could attempt this step, and having broken through all Five Limits, with his Reincarnation Body smelted, this step was as simple as pushing open a door for him.

If it wouldn't push open, he'd kick it open.

Ji Jingqiu followed the steps, operated the Qi Force, then let it disperse into misty cloud energy, warmly enveloping his body and stimulating its potential.

Soon, a seed condensed by Life Potential took root in his lower abdomen; all his Qi and blood seemed to find their backbone, gathering there ceaselessly.

Gradually, this seed began pulsating like a heart, seemingly nurturing something inside.

At this point, the breakthrough to the True Seed Realm was considered official, though it was just the beginning.

Ji Jingqiu carefully felt the changes in his body.

His physique had slightly increased, but not substantially.

Instead, after breaking through the True Seed, he felt a more harmonious control over his strength.

And once the Life Seed was condensed, he could begin forging the Cultivation Body.

According to what Master Yang wrote in the handbook, the essence of forging a Cultivation Body was bodily transformation.

Lower Rank Cultivation Body was the simplest and most direct, aided by surgical modification; some who knew they couldn't break through Divine Travel would even add implants during this stage to enhance combat power.

Mid-grade Cultivation Body began to involve mental transformation, though still accompanied by rare materials to enhance one's root bone.

As for Superior Cultivation, the record in the handbook was most mysterious; Ji Jingqiu's first impression was four words: "Fake to Real."

At that level, it was no longer called a Cultivation Body but a Taoist Body.

For example, the Dragon Tiger Dojo's Dragon Tiger Taoist Body, once forged, was truly tiger bones and dragon muscles!

The forging process alone required a vast amount of bone marrow essence and blood from the exotic dragons and tigers reared by the Dragon Tiger Dojo, as well as some precious resources collected from the Heavenly Road, to cultivate a body of tiger bones and dragon muscles.

It's said the earliest Dragon Tiger Taoist Body required resources from the deep Spirit Ocean, but now they were long gone. Fortunately, the emergence of the Heavenly Road solved this problem.

The above was just the materials; the most crucial part was that martial artists needed to use relevant Spirit Secret Skills, combined with their essence, spirit, and god, to cultivate a dragon and a tiger within!

When the Dragon Tiger Taoist Body was fully unfolded, every move possessed dragon and tiger power; their Qi Force could turn into Dragon Tiger Divine Form, possessing a certain independent "awareness."

The handbook also mentioned that those who forged the Dragon Tiger Taoist Body often invited the Divine Intent of a Guardian God and Lord Meng Zhang into their organs.

Ultimately, with high completion, not only the muscles and bones but also the flesh and viscera would transform into the legendary dragon and tiger body under the guidance of the Divine Intent and one's spirit.

In history, achieving 100% completion of the Dragon Tiger Taoist Body was attributed to only one person, the first master of the Dragon Tiger Dojo.

This realm's cultivation heavily relied on the Power of the Spirit.

Ji Jingqiu quickly discovered that the [Ten Thousand Ancient Blade] in tandem with [Knife Carving and Axe Chiseling] was simply made for forging Superior Cultivation.

After completely breaking through, Ji Jingqiu emerged from his retreat.

At that moment, only an hour remained until arriving at the Four Guardian Stars.

Ji Anming came to see Ji Jingqiu again, hinting at letting him shake off Lou Qinglan after entering the central area.

Ji Jingqiu only pretended not to understand, and eventually, Ji Anming left with a sigh.

Before disembarking, Lou Qinglan came over to join them with her only backpack and said with a light voice by Ji Jingqiu's side:

"Thank you for choosing me."

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, not saying anything.

The spacecraft landed on a Space Fortress outside the Four Guardian Stars.

As they looked out, a full six Federation top-tier Space Fortresses surrounded the Four Guardian Stars, defending it tightly.

And on the Four Guardian Stars, vaguely, a tower could be seen...
