Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 416 - 190 Prayer, Wager_3

The senior brothers and uncles had told him to make any request he desired.

And he spoke of his greatest longing,

Which was the "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism".

This concerned his development in the Divine Travel Realm, determining whether he could break ground and blossom, and what kind of splendid "flower" he would become.

Of course, it could also be a tree.

But his request was truly too high; while there were stocks of superior spiritual mechanisms over seven feet, the nine feet nine... such legendary spiritual mechanisms were a matter of fate and could not be sought after.

Not even within the Nine Palaces were there any in stock.

Initially being "fed" too well had raised Ji Jingqiu's expectations all at once.

He was prepared to not settle for less; if he was to do it, he'd do it to perfection, gathering the strongest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism to forge the strongest Divine Travel Realm.

Lu Tong lamented, "Kid, you've developed too comprehensively in the True Seed Realm, I rummaged through the main warehouse again yesterday, and didn't find any resources useful for you at the moment, so I just grabbed some Divine Remains, here, remember to refine them later."

Since Qian Chong brought Ji Jingqiu back, the upper echelons of the Great Red Sky had put their affairs aside and gathered together to see what kind of astonishing inheritor the South Emperor He Donghuang had chosen.

Over the past half a month, they had looked after him day and night, studying Ji Jingqiu's True Seed Realm thoroughly, from shock to numbness, and finally fully understood just what kind of freak this child really was.

Self-proving Innate, Martial Arts Divine... These were actually still within the normal range, not exceeding the domain of Sealing King.

But the Spirit Plate Realm, the nascent form of the dojo, along with his uniquely created three styles of saber techniques, each of these, taken individually, would be enough to effortlessly create a Sealing King Peak.

Combined, these made Ji Jingqiu akin to a "monster".

Lastly, there was his heaven-defying Innate Divine Ability.

The strategic significance of this Innate Divine Ability was unimaginably high.

Given time, Ji Jingqiu might be able to replace the entire [Buddha Country] by himself!

"How is your Innate Divine Ability progressing?" Lu Tong asked with concern.

"It feels quite far from being Perfect," Ji Jingqiu sensed and said.

Over the past half a month, under the "nurturing" of several senior brothers and uncles, his Innate Divine Ability had quickly advanced from "Budding" to "Mature" stage, just one step away from being "Perfect", and ready to be completely nurtured.

This speed was remarkably fast.

Compared to those Heavenly Prides from the Nine States who took the Bloodline Path, were born with ancestral bloodlines, and Bloodline Battle Bodies, the nurturing of Innate Divine Ability was measured in years.

It was not rare to see them reach adulthood without fully developing their Innate Divine Ability.

His progress could be so swift partly because he had already achieved Martial Arts Divine, giving birth to his own divinity, and secondly because of the copious nourishment from Divine Remains.

"Don't rush, take your time, don't be too hasty," Lu Tong said seriously, "The nurturing of Innate Divine Ability can be slow; it doesn't matter."

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

"How much have you learned about the Ancient Road during this time?"

"The information given by the uncles and brothers has all been looked through, and I've gained an overall understanding of the Inheritance Ancient Road," Ji Jingqiu said.

He had crammed a lot of knowledge regarding the Ancient Road, all of which were treasures accumulated by the Nine Palaces over countless years.

The complexity of this Ancient Road far exceeded his imagination.

The Inheritance Ancient Road of the Nine States was essentially a collection of numerous Inner Heavens and Earths, Sub-level Universe Planes.

Seventh-stage powerhouses could have a universe within them, and after their death, their internal Heaven and Earth might not collapse, instead turning into a wandering plane akin to a Sub-level Cosmic Plane.

Therefore, for any civilization, every seventh-stage powerhouse, whether alive or dead, is part of the foundation of the civilization.

"Good to know."

Lu Tong's eyes sparkled as he said,

"Once you enter the Ancient Road, with your strength, you need not have any concerns, just bulldoze your way through, kill anyone who stands in your way! Take as attendants, wives, concubines, or even as mounts whatever catches your eye!"

"Hmm, also remember the 'Hostile List' we prepared for you! Some people on it are descendants of our senior brother's and your master's past enemies. As a representative of our younger generation, it's only right to continue oppressing them!"

Ji Jingqiu was speechless; this Uncle Lu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was the one entering, deeply engrossed.

"Uncle Lu, may I organize this information and send a copy back to the Federation?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

He wanted to send a copy to his senior brother Shi Xuanzhen, as well as Yue Yourong and others with whom he had a good relationship.

"Sure. Have Xiao Qian make a trip for you; don't go back yourself, it's a waste of time back and forth. The opening of the Inheritance Ancient Road is just around the corner."

Lu Tong agreed very readily, as it was not his collection; there was no heartache, no resistance at all.

He said with concern, "Your influence in the Federation is still too weak; it's time to win over some people."

In Lu Tong's view, the Great Red Sky Palace would need the Federation as a transit station to enter the Great Universe in the future, so making good relations was essential.

Taking the resources of the Eight Palaces and using the connections of their Great Red Sky Palace was totally fine.

"Additionally, I am here to inform you that in a few days, the Nine Palaces will hold their customary internal exchange competition. Previously, our Great Red Sky Palace rarely participated, but since you've arrived, things are different this time."

Lu Tong said with a face even younger than Ji Jingqiu, now smiling brilliantly,

"Think of it as a warm-up before entering the Ancient Road."

"Moreover, if things go as planned, Gu will set up a situation for you, attempting to win over a strand of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism that has been cherished for years from the Yuan Dongtian Palace, which should meet your needs."

"Oh?" Ji Jingqiu originally didn't care; within the Nine Palaces, there was no adversary worth his attention.

But after hearing that he could obtain a Spiritual Mechanism that piqued his interest in this warm-up match, he did feel somewhat excited.

In the past half-month, he had grown stronger, though not a qualitative Transformation, just a slight enhancement on the physical and spiritual level.

This improvement came from his continuous adaptation to the rules of Heaven and Earth in the Nine States.

The rules of the Nine States are far more lax than those of the Great Universe, making it easier to achieve Breakthroughs.

However, during this time, Ji Jingqiu had a somewhat troublesome issue...

That was Lady La's side of things.

Even after ten thousand years, on the land of Yanfu State, there were still followers of Lady La praying non-stop.

He didn't know if it was because Hel resided in his Inner Realm world, but these prayers occasionally echoed in his ears.

...

...

"Are you all teaching me, the Great Red Sky Palace, how to do things?" Gu Chensha said with a dignified expression, scanning the principals of the other Eight Palaces, "Even if the quotas of my Great Red Sky Palace go to waste, that's our own business."

The representatives of the other Eight Palaces exchanged glances with deep, penetrating eyes.

Half a month ago, the Great Red Sky Palace mysteriously gained a "second-generation disciple," attracting exceptional attention from the other Eight Palaces.

But this figure had not yet made an appearance, and the people of the Great Red Sky Palace remained tight-lipped, unusually beginning to frequent the main warehouse of the Nine Palaces, picking and selecting.

Seeing this, everyone thought that the Great Red Sky Palace had found a promising new disciple to nurture.

But these people, in selecting and choosing at the warehouse, didn't take much in the end. According to the elders guarding it, they left shaking their heads, having only taken some intensely Divine Remains, leaving everyone bewildered.

At this moment,

Someone spoke up, "Master Gu, why be so stubborn? We are not trying to take advantage without giving. We can exchange with other resources. I heard that Ji needs some followers? My Yuan Dongtian Palace can provide a Marquis Martial Artist."

Gu Chensha said coldly, "Do you think just anyone is qualified to follow my disciple? Even He Xiao from your Yuan Dongtian Palace isn't worthy!"

The atmosphere suddenly turned silent.

In this generation of the Yuan Dongtian Palace, there were two at the Sealing King Peak, with He Xiao being one of them.

The person who spoke before, with deep eyes, said, "Master Gu, your words are perhaps too big. How about we make a bet? On the upcoming exchange competition. I heard that recently you've been looking for a superior Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, if your disciple wins, my Yuan Dongtian Palace still has an exquisite nine feet three Spiritual Mechanism; but if your disciple loses, we don't ask for much, just the two quotas of your Great Red Sky Palace, how is that, fair enough?"

Gu Chensha nodded decisively, "Fair, when does the exchange competition start?"

"Three days later!"

"Can't it be tomorrow?"

The crowd was momentarily at a loss for words, looking at him in astonishment.

Why was he even more eager than they were, so full of confidence?

Yuan He of the Yuan Dongtian Palace fell silent for a moment, feeling somewhat uneasy inside, but the words were out, and he couldn't take them back.

He said gravely, "A few days won't make much difference. Master Gu can go back and prepare for the battle."

Gu Chensha responded indifferently, "Then I will thank Yuan Senior for the Spiritual Mechanism in advance."

While the crowd was speechless, they couldn't help but wonder, as Gu Chensha was acting too calm, too confident in victory.

Was he bluffing, or did he really have absolute certainty?
