Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 969 - 352: Jackpot Time for the Old-Timers

Listening to Taoist Qinglian reminiscing about the past, Ji Jingqiu's thoughts also drifted afar.

After unifying the Hundred Veins, he had consulted many ancient texts, learning about the events of that era, and exploring the grievances between the Seven Marshals and various sages.

In the early Federation, conflicts were incessant, the martial spirit was strong, but martial arts in that era were fundamentally unformed.

The current simple process of "constructing Cultivation Body" with money was an insurmountable barrier for Federation Martial Artists at that time.

Due to their weak Innate Physique, Martial Artists found it hard to sow the seeds of Martial Arts.

Thus, Martial Artists of that era needed some "luck", relying on the gifts from the Spirit Ocean to step into the next tier.

The various Cultivation Bodies of today were deduced step by step by Martial Artists of that era according to ancient texts and actual conditions.

Many even inexplicably succeeded, leading to the reverse deduction of Cultivation Bodies.

It was an era of prosperity and freedom, but also chaos.

The situation was uncertain, with battles over interests and territories, leading to complex relations among the Hundred Veins, where unresolved hatred was formed in decades to centuries.

This was the most troubling issue for the Seven Marshals when re-establishing Federation order.

How to resolve life-and-death enmity?

According to family records, Master Mu was ultimately burdened with this matter.

The means employed by Master Mu remain unknown to the world, but only the involved parties know, as mentioned in the chronicles left by various martial veins founders, feeling that such a task was only fit for Mu Shitian, who adhered to lifelong non-killing.

Ultimately, all parties within the Federation tentatively let go of great enmity, moving towards peace and tranquility...

Recalling that era recorded in the annals, Ji Jingqiu sometimes falls into trance.

Those brief words on the books are past history, which ought to be concluded entirely but now vividly returns to the forefront with the return of certain people.

"When I study the history of the Federation, I find that time indeed is terrifying," Ji Jingqiu suddenly said, "Merely a chaotic time spanning a few hundred years is this chaotic and intricate. How frightening would those strong individuals who have endured millions or tens of millions of years be?"

Taoist Qinglian calmly stated:

"To the True Saint, one closure is a million years; a catastrophe occurs every million years."

"Many train in Martial Arts for a lifetime, a thousand years, ten thousand years, hundreds of thousands or millions of years, but their lives might not be a tenth as exciting as those individuals. The journey of the spirit might not be a thousandth as long as life's time."

"Therefore, Ji Jingqiu, you must cultivate the mind."

"Furthermore..."

"You must understand this: not everyone is so fortunate to encounter many 'opponents' worth contending and pursuing for a lifetime."

"A good opponent sometimes determines your future height."

...

...

In the void sea constructed by endless void.

Lightning shattered the void, a golden figure stepped into the illusion, the figure stood tall in the vast realm, surrounded by chaotic mists, crowned, with each blink, the small world before him exploded like an ocean!

Heaven and Earth collapsed, this Plane World swiftly headed towards void calamity, eventually reduced to an infinitesimal point.

That figure raised a hand, fixing the collapsing world into a point, then stepped inside.

Following him, imposing figures akin to supreme divinities, exuding boundless ancient grandeur, stepped in one after another.

Entering the original point, at the center was a lake, each drop contained energy vast enough to engulf and tear apart Heavenly Persons, akin to the peculiar land beneath the Heavenly Saint Lake, yet far less grand.

Beside the lake, the man with the imperial crown who entered first stood with his hands behind, spoke casually.

"This original point can sustain for three days, sufficient for us to meet, even if Mu Shitian lived and was indeed as profound as Dao Yi claims, it is impossible to spy on our discussion today along the thread of karma."

"Dao Yi didn't come?"

"He said he owed too much karma debt to Qinglian and needs to clear it before the first great calamity."

A figure blurred, yet sitting high in the Nine Layers of Heavens appeared by the lake, spoke like thunder, shaking the full lake's water:

"Can it be confirmed that the Dao Fruit is with Qinglian?"

"Cannot."

"The Heavenly Mechanism Realm can't even calculate?"

"Taoist Friend jokes, a Dao Fruit involving the highest karma domain of this realm, even if the ancestor of the Heavenly Mechanism Realm returns and breaks through True Saint, he wouldn't have the ability to calculate."

A man with billowing sleeves, seemingly filled with worldly Clear Wind, said.

Realizing the gaffe, the man who vanished into the chaotic mists fell silent, frowning:

"Could it be we must let this person come and go freely, without being able to make a move?"

Nearby, someone spoke in a cold voice: "Why should you care whether he gains an advantage? Is your mind that small?"

"I do not care about Qinglian, my concern lies with the youth beside him. Since a decision has been made, swiftly uproot: allowing the seed to take root and sprout is unreasonable."

An existence spoke coldly, surrounded by starry heavens.

The previous speaker glanced at him, said: "Instead of worrying about a Heavenly Person junior, why not worry about the approaching Great Sun Ancient God."

"Enough, meaningless conflict is pointless." An ethereal, divine woman with godlike presence interrupted, "Our purposes are aligned; there should be no division before the end of the Dao."

After a brief silence, an existence suddenly spoke:

"Formerly, the Five Pillars may not have failed; they just didn't walk through."

Another shook his head: "Regardless of whether it's walked through or not, this path is too difficult, and too time-consuming."
