Chapter 178 Origin of Nine Continents, Second Sword, Infinite Tribulation
Temple, inside the main hall.
"Where is Brother Ji? Why haven't you come out yet?"
Everyone stared at the door of the trial intently, waiting for Ji Jingqiu to walk out, but they did not see his figure for a long time. Finally someone asked in a low voice.
The atmosphere in the crowd suddenly became a little subtle!
According to common sense, Ji Jingqiu should come out at this moment.
Xidi seemed to have guessed something in his mind, with a horrified look on his face. He took the initiative to touch the test door tentatively, and found that he could enter directly, and there was no figure of Ji Jingqiu inside.
This discovery immediately made everyone present look at each other.
"Could it be that...that rumor is true?" Ku He thought of something in an instant and murmured, "No one could do it before. Is it because no one could judge above the ninth ring?"
Hearing these words, Yue Wukong's expression changed drastically.
No, buddy, can it really be transmitted directly to the main temple? !
…
…
In the pure land of void.
After hearing what the woman in black said, Ji Jingqiu was stunned.
Thousands of years ago?
He suddenly realized something.
Mu Shuai had entered the Cangqing Temple thousands of years ago?
But the last time the Cangqing Temple was opened, wasn't it a million years ago?
How did Mu Shuai come in ten thousand years ago?
Could it be that the legendary place of enlightenment for Mu Shuai was in the Cangqing Temple? !
No wonder the Mu family couldn't find it after searching for thousands of years.
In an instant, countless thoughts poured into Ji Jingqiu's mind.
According to records in history books, Mu Shuai's character is the most kind-hearted among the seven commanders. He only saves people and never kills people in his life, which is completely different from He Shuai's wild style.
And listening to the meaning in the other party's words, could it be that Mu Shuai rejected the inheritance of Cangqing Temple thousands of years ago...?
Thousands of words, gathered together in the end, are just four words:
Mu Shuai is awesome!
"Senior, what this junior means is, is there any legacy left by our predecessors here?"
Facing the half-smiling gaze of the woman in black, Ji Jingqiu changed the topic without showing any embarrassment. He kept silent and stopped talking about the inheritance. He could not lose his place in the lineage of the World Honored One!
The woman in black didn't pay attention to the young man's thoughts, her eyes moved, and the many supernatural powers in Ji Jingqiu's body were clearly visible in her eyes.
She wanted to go one step further and see the bodhi tree in Ji Jingqiu's body, but she thought of some past events and regretfully stopped.
It was these past events that made her look at Ji Jingqiu with a soft color in her eyes, and she said slowly:
"You are very good. You have the potential to go further than your predecessors at the same level."
"But you can't be proud, because they had no way out back then and they walked out step by step. I hope you can find your own way in the future."
Ji Jingqiu looked serious and seriously asked this person for advice on how far Mu Shuai had reached the True Seed Realm.
"His path is different from yours, and there is no comparison." The woman shook her head, "You just inherited his way and law. There is no need to pursue his path, and there is no need to deliberately pursue his path, because his path has already failed. ”
"I really want to know how Senior Mu died." Ji Jingqiu whispered.
This is the question Ji Jingqiu has always hidden in her heart.
The more he learned about the past of the Seven Commanders, the more puzzled he became. Why did Senior Qiang Rumu and the others wither away after only a few hundred years of brilliance?
Who in this world can kill them?
The Longhu Dojo could not give him the answer to this question, not even the Sifang God Lord could give him the answer.
None of the Taoist articles and messages left by He Shuai were related to their disappearance.
He only mentioned that in the future, when he becomes successful in martial arts, he will go to the deepest part of the soul ocean and climb to the top of the mountain.
"I only know that Mu Shitian chose to go deep into the deep sea in the end, but I don't know the specific cause of death." The woman in black stared into the void, as if she had seen through thousands of years, and whispered, "Perhaps, he I didn't lose to anyone, I just lost to the path I chose. "
Ji Jingqiu's heart was shaken, thinking of the withered Bodhi tree in the ocean of soul.
Is it most likely that Mu Shuai died because of a failed breakthrough?
"Don't think too much. Some things are too far away from you. When you reach a certain height in the future, you can follow the footsteps of your predecessors."
The woman instructed.
After that, Ji Jingqiu humbly asked if there was any room for improvement.
"Are you going to participate in Jiuzhou's heritage ancient road?"
"Well, this is indeed a good road to hone. The brilliance of the civilizations of the nine continents is far beyond what the current universe can compare with. After all... those who were able to move their families to the nine continents back then were originally from their respective eras. overlord."
Ji Jingqiu was shocked. Did all the tribes from Jiuzhou migrate there? So where did they stay?
A surprising answer emerged in his mind—
Big universe!
"You don't know?" the woman in gray said softly, "This is not an unspeakable secret. The earliest Jiuzhou was a pure land that was jointly found by several overlord civilizations in the universe in order to avoid the final immeasurable catastrophe."
"Every time the Nether Sea appears since then, some of the new top civilized ethnic groups will choose to move to Jiuzhou to avoid disaster. Over time, it will develop into today's nine continents."
"Accumulated over generations, the prosperity of their civilization is naturally not comparable to that of today's universe. It is equivalent to gathering the top ethnic groups from all eras in the universe."
"Of course, some of them should have realized by now that they have indeed survived several eras with this, but this is just a last resort. Cutting off the connection between oneself and the universe is the last chance of self-destruction."
When Ji Jingqiu said this, he clearly heard the sarcasm and gloating in the mouth of the senior woman in gray.
Connection to the greater universe…
Patriarch Qingyang specifically told him before that the breakthrough between the spiritual realm and the barrier between heaven and man must be completed within the great universe.
The two should be consistent.
The woman in black looked at him and said: "You still have untapped potential. You can go to the ancient road to compete with the geniuses of all races and open up your own path, but you must remember that the universe is where you belong."
Ji Jingqiu said that he was taught.
"Your senior has indeed left you some legacy, but whether you can take over or not depends on you."
The woman in black suddenly smiled charmingly. The years had left traces of vicissitudes in her eyes, but they could not age her appearance. She still had unparalleled elegance and a dream-like appearance. It was the most beautiful thing Ji Jingqiu had ever seen in her life. , the most beautiful woman.
There was a unique charm in this smile, and Ji Jingqiu could not help but be affected by it, but he was quickly suppressed by his calm mind.
"This is the place where Mu Shitian once gained enlightenment. He once borrowed the Tao Temple to see the prototype of countless calamities in the past, and from it he realized the prototype of his own Tao foundation."
The woman in black, with her big sleeves fluttering, gave up a position to her side lightly, her voice was cold and distant.
Behind her, an old and worn futon lay there quietly.
"If you want to imitate the ancestors, you can sit on it, but don't say I didn't remind you. Sitting on this futon, you can see the magnificent scene of the destruction of a world. In the process, if your spiritual practice is not enough, you can let it go with just one glance. Your mind is at peace.”
Ji Jingqiu looked at the futon. There seemed to be a shadow sitting on the futon, motionless, like an eternal god, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
This is a shadow that a certain supreme being once sat on a futon, and its own way inadvertently revealed itself and blended with the futon, leaving behind a shadow that will be forever engraved in time and can guide future generations to see what their predecessors saw.
Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment, thanked the senior woman for her guidance, walked over in a few steps, and sat down on the futon.
Mu Shuai could use Taoism to practice Taoism when he was young, so naturally he could not lose to his predecessors.
As he slowly sat down, his figure seemed to overlap with the phantom, and his whole body was shrouded in a hazy light, cutting off the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
The next moment.
In Ji Jingqiu's eyes, lightning fell all over the sky, as if the sky and the earth were hanging upside down, and the sun and moon were extinguished.
In an instant, he saw a hazy realm of destruction.
The mountains, rivers and earth will eventually overturn.
The sun, moon and stars are also dim.
It was the overturning of the sea of suffering in all worlds, the coming of great catastrophe, the deviation of all paths, no one in the world could escape, and everyone would sink into it, ushering in decay and dusk.
Just for a moment.
Ji Jingqiu was forced to close her eyes. She had a splitting headache and cold sweat on her back. She was almost "engulfed" by the scene she just saw.
That glance just now actually contained the entire process of the decay and annihilation of the entire heaven, earth, and universe.
This is a calamity of immeasurable evil, and it is also the prelude to an immeasurable catastrophe of emptiness!
He only persisted for a moment, and the huge flow of information contained in it almost overwhelmed him. In other words, at a glance, he could see death, decay, decay and many other laws and principles.
If he hadn't already attained the Soul Rock Realm, that glance just now would have been enough to force him to "become a Taoist"!
Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath, fell into meditation, sat cross-legged under the bodhi tree, used the power of the bodhi tree to recover the lost mental energy, and then tried to peek into the scene again.
This is extremely dangerous for others, but it is a great opportunity for him who has achieved the Pan Realm!
During the bad tribulation, the heaven and earth overturned, the universe collapsed, and the Dharma and Tao manifested in the world. They were also on the road of collapse, but it was also the best time to contact them. They could "see" them directly, and no longer needed to sense them in the dark.
Ji Jingqiu lets go of his thoughts, activates the light of wisdom with all his strength, captures the inexplicable path of Taoism in the painting, peeps into the legal order, and deduce his own path.
Feeling tired, he took a short rest and relied on the bodhi tree to regain his mental strength.
When you recover, continue to engage in enlightenment.
This is not an improvement in realm, but an understanding of the laws and principles, and a sorting out of his own path. Based on this, he is trying to develop the second basic sword technique and lay the foundation of his own martial arts.
Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged here, and a long Zen feeling gradually spread over his body, faintly triggering some wonderful Taoist rules in this place.
One after another Brahma flowers bloomed from the void, like rolling up thousands of piles of snow, surrounding him.
A Bodhi tree also appeared behind him. In terms of height and lushness, it was much taller than the World Tree sapling in the center of this pure land.
After the Heart-Phase Bodhi tree manifested, the saplings of the World Tree that had taken root here swayed their branches and leaves, as if they had seen the same kind.
A ray of clear glass light falls from the Bodhi tree, intersecting with the hazy light of life it emits.
The woman in black was slightly shocked. This person has actually cultivated this Heart-Phase Bodhi tree to such an extent?
At this moment, every inch of Ji Jingqiu's skin was faintly glowing.
When you realize your innate nature, the legal runes imprinted on it resonate with the legal principles and principles between heaven and earth.
Every resonance was washing away the little smoke and dust in his body, thus entering an ethereal and sacred realm.
And this physical strengthening is only incidental.
The most important thing is that in the process of enlightenment, Ji Jingqiu gradually refined the Taoist principles he needed and sharpened the sword in his heart.
But as his understanding deepened, his eyes became darker, more aged and tired. This is the side effect of meditation.
If it hadn't been for his Xin Zhen Pan realm, he wouldn't have been able to survive now.
During this process, he seemed to have entered all the worlds, faced too many scenes of world destruction, and witnessed all living beings struggling and unable to escape.
Under the sea of suffering, there is too much decline but no prosperity. It seems that under countless calamities, everything will be destroyed and all efforts will be in vain.
If everything is destined to perish, why bother struggling?
This feeling of powerlessness kept accumulating in his heart, and even the clear light of glass could not fully illuminate it.
In his inner world, the sea of misery pouring down from above his head seemed to be touched at this moment, and the blood rain in the sky was more violent than before.
The fat tiger lying on his back under the Bodhi tree raised his head alertly;
The roiling koi in the lotus pond also turned over and looked up at the outside of the pure land;
Even the formless and formless wind became a little more urgent at this moment, lingering in Fat Tiger's ears.
Fat Tiger scratched his ears, stood up, shook his body, and trotted outside the Pure Land. The fur on his body was gradually stained with blood, and the blood lines on his body looked like molten fluid flowing.
The koi carp in the pond swung its long tail, crossed the dragon gate, transformed into a black dragon, rushed out of the pure land with a soft chant, walked freely in the blood rain in the sky, and soared into the clouds and mist.
In their own way, they were helping Ji Jingqiu dispel the Taoist meaning of annihilation that gradually accumulated in his heart.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In a trance.
Ji Jingqiu seemed to see an extremely young figure, sitting in the boundless void in front of him, with his head lowered in enlightenment, his back turned to all living beings, and his back to him.
At this moment, everything was silent except for an inexplicable whisper in my ears -
[Seeing Bodhi in the origin of worldly affairs, and realizing the true self in the state of cessation]
Like drums at dusk and bells in the morning, and like enlightenment.
Ji Jingqiu closed his eyes, and the ripples on the lake in his heart gradually calmed down. He forgot the complexity of everything in the world, entered the pure land in his heart, and listened to the rhythm of life.
Gradually.
In his ears he heard the sounds of growing vegetation and gurgling water.
I heard the sound of the inexhaustible burning weeds breaking through the ground in the cracks of the rocks...
That is the new life after all cessation.
It is also the pursuit of life that all living beings are unwilling to perish.
He once again felt the weight of life, which ran through the vast historical years, was full of tenacity rooted in the dark years, and was reborn under the wildfire...
In an instant, the four seasons rotate and the wind sweeps across the sky.
Everything is changing rapidly before our eyes.
Until a fallen leaf slowly fell from his head and landed in his palm.
…
"A true kind dares to watch countless bad tribulations, and can watch for such a long time..."
The woman in black looked surprised.
She had overestimated this boy as much as possible, but his performance still exceeded her expectations.
Not to mention the true seed state, ordinary heavenly beings would not dare to watch the destruction of a world for so long.
"Should I say that I am worthy of being a descendant of the lineage of the World Honored One?"
She looked sideways into the void and had a panoramic view of the talented warriors participating in the trials in the various temples.
Although some of the young people who came this time were good, they were still far behind the standards of Cang Qing lineage inheritors.
The only one who can catch my eye has inherited the Dharma of the Buddha's lineage.
"That's all, let's choose a few alternatives, which can be regarded as leaving a few seeds for the Cang Qing lineage."
The woman in black sighed.
After all, time waits for no one.
She glanced around and saw all the geniuses above the eighth ring. Most of them were once affiliated forces of the Cang Qing lineage. Their ancestors were either members of the Cang Qing Temple or followers.
Many of them have talents close to the ninth ring, but almost all of them are of the same bloodline.
Even if some people can become pure blood, their future development will be difficult to see at a glance, unless they can break through the shackles of their bloodline.
The only two things that catch my eye...
One person cultivates [Following Heaven and Keeping Righteousness], and follows the Heavenly Sword Taoist body that replaces Heaven with one's body.
One person cultivates [Taixu Returns to the Ming], and walks the path of returning to Taixu with a meditative mind, and both heaven and earth become silent.
"You Yanhuang Federation, are you really an outlier in all worlds?"
The woman in black muttered to herself and waved to summon the three of them.
Before the three of them could stand and take a clear look at their surroundings, the woman's cold and distant voice reached their ears.
"From today on, the three of you are the registered disciples of my Cang Qing lineage. Each of you will be given a Cang Qing divine seal. After the heavenly being, you can come here again to receive the inheritance."
The woman in black said calmly but forcefully, without even asking the three of them if they were willing. With a wave of her hand, a divine tree mark was imprinted on the foreheads of the three of them.
Among the three people, two were women and one was a man.
Mu Rouzhi, an underage elf girl who was clearly an "acquaintance" of Ji Jingqiu and had not yet undergone soul awakening, saw Ji Jingqiu sitting on a futon not far away, enlightening with her eyes closed.
After seeing the sapling rooted in the center of the pure land, Mu Rouzhi clearly felt the throbbing from the depths of her soul and worshiped it.
Among the other two people, one was a short-haired woman with an indifferent expression and a cold temperament. The knife in her hand was unsheathed and stained with the blood of the enemy. Her whole body revealed an extremely sharp edge, like a handleless heavenly sword.
It was Qin Qingjue, the daughter of the Qin family.
She also saw where Ji Jingqiu was, her eyes flickering.
"Senior, do you dare to ask me about that registered disciple who is also from the Cang Qing lineage?"
The third man asked in a deep voice, his eyes were deep, his temperament was calm, and he had the demeanor of a master like Yuan Ting Yue Zhi. He was exactly the martial artist that the Ke family had spent all their resources to cultivate in this generation, Ke Ping Luan.
When he saw Ji Jingqiu sitting on the futon, his breath couldn't help but become scattered.
In fact, after hearing about this self-certified innate, he regarded him as a formidable enemy and ranked him above Qin Qingjue.
Ke Pingluan suddenly focused his eyes and saw the illusory bodhi tree behind Ji Jingqiu, and his heart was shocked.
Could this place be the place where Mu Shuai achieved enlightenment in the past? !
This is the opportunity he has dreamed of!
This person's good fortune is truly enviable!
"My Cang Qing lineage cannot accommodate this giant Buddha." The woman in black smiled half-heartedly, "Let's do this. Among the three of you, whoever can defeat him in the future can be directly listed as the only son of God in my Cang Qing lineage."
These words made the three of them look at each other.
Is the first half of the sentence a joke, or is it serious?
There was a trace of ripples in Qin Qing's still eyes, and there was a hint of eagerness in Ji Jingqiu's eyes.
Ke Pingluan's eyes were deep and his face was solemn.
He heard the subtext of the second half of the sentence. In the eyes of this mysterious strong man, they were definitely no match for Ji Jingqiu at this moment!
Ke Pingran took a deep breath to suppress the chaotic thoughts in his heart.
"Go, Queen of Heavenly Beings, you can use the mark of the sacred tree to sense the location of the whirling world."
The woman in black waved the three people away
At this time.
The saplings behind her swayed slightly, emitting a hazy emerald light.
The woman frowned and said in a deep voice: "You want to give him the second seed? He has indeed passed the test of the Son of God with Ten Rings, but he is not only from the lineage of the World Honored One, he also has the inherited aura of the 'Southern Emperor'!"
The branches of the sapling swayed, as if shaking their heads, and then the emerald light on the tree body condensed into a true seed.
After condensing this true seed, the light around the sapling dimmed a lot, and it looked a little tired as it swayed.
When the woman saw this scene, her eyes were dark, but she did not stop her. She took the real seed and sighed:
"You're right. In a catastrophe, multiple bets are needed. Maybe today's fate will bear good consequences that no one can imagine in the future."
"Although the World Honored One's lineage has a heart as high as the sky, they really have the courage to take care of all sentient beings, which cannot be compared to those vacillating clowns... This child is indeed worthy of the Cangqing Lineage's early bet."
…
Ji Jingqiu closed her eyes and lowered her head, a strange Taoist charm pervading her body.
It has the meaning of detachment from life and death, purity and perdition, and it also seems as if the body contains all kinds of catastrophes, full of terrible eight sufferings, including life, old age, illness, death, love, hatred, love and hatred, and then there is the murderous intention, as if the body is possessed by a demon!
This murderous intention that emerged from the sea of suffering of all living beings did not engulf Ji Jingqiu's reason. Instead, it was turned into a whetstone and sharpened into his own way of swordsmanship.
The eight sufferings are the mortal world, which is terrifying and terrifying, but it also contains infinite possibilities and hopes.
This is the sea of suffering in the world of mortals, and it is also the place where sentient beings practice.
All living beings are struggling to survive, looking for that glimmer of hope.
At this moment.
Ji Jingqiu integrated his experiences in the first half of his life and incorporated all the "gleams of life" he had ever created with his first sword into it, as if he was sending the old sword into the fire and forging it anew.
He initially understood part of the true meaning of martial arts that Senior He left on the second Eternal Sword, and created his own second sword technique.
The name of the first sword is [All Dharma is Empty], and its true meaning is only the word "empty".
And the true meaning behind this sword is the word "一".
Seeking is a glimmer of hope.
The beheading was immeasurable calamity.
