Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 433 - 195: He's Giving Me a Way Out!_3

However, upon recalling the heavenly gift he had received, Ji Jingqiu ceased his research.

He quickly verified a set of coordinates through the mark, and then set off on his journey.

These coordinates led to an opportunity meticulously chosen for him by his seniors and uncles at the Great Red Sky Palace.

He intended to seize this chance, venture to this place, and then seclude himself to break into Divine Travel.

Divine Travel Realm...

Starting from this realm, the path of Martial Arts in the Federation officially diverged.

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, for Martial Artists, was akin to "Transformation Elixir."

Whether to adopt the spiritual mechanism to nourish the physical body and seek life, or to integrate the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon to develop the strongest Law Domain; or to purely nurture one's divinity to seek Divine Transformation.

Martial Artists had to make a choice among these.

Essentially, it was because Divine Travel Warriors found it difficult to gather enough spiritual mechanisms.

First, spiritual mechanisms were hard to find.

Second, the body's capacity to absorb spiritual mechanisms was ultimately limited.

The human body is like a canvas and spiritual mechanisms are like paint; the grandeur of the portrait one wishes to create depends not only on the Martial Artist's skill but also on whether there's enough paint to cover the canvas.

But Ji Jingqiu was different; theoretically, the amount of spiritual mechanism he could contain would set a new record in the Federation.

Moreover, this place was not located in the Federation of the Great Universe, but was rumored to be the highest legacy path of an entire ancient universe. Even though it was already damaged, it still contained extraordinary opportunities.

Therefore, Ji Jingqiu planned to attempt multiple paths of transformation simultaneously.

During his upcoming breakthrough into the Divine Travel Realm, Ji Jingqiu planned another experiment.

He wanted to open the Divine Storage within the True Seed Realm!

The method of Divine Storage, originating from the secret lore of the Hel civilization, was something Ji Jingqiu had respectfully learned little by little from Lady La during this period.

If he could unlock the first layer of Divine Storage in the True Seed Realm, he would advance further by leaps and bounds.

But this step was difficult, and only after seeing the opportunity found by the Great Red Sky Palace did he resolve to attempt it.

His initial arrival was on a small plane, and he soon reached the edge of the plane, facing a vast sea. Ji Jingqiu stepped onto the blue tide and walked into the sea.

Before leaving, he suddenly felt something, and turned to look back.

The dilapidated buildings on the horizon behind him seemed even smaller now, and were indistinct, but Ji Jingqiu felt an eerie sensation of being watched, which was quite uncomfortable.

He frowned, Rune symbols of Dharma appeared in his eyes as he activated [Bodhi Eye], and from dozens of miles away, he saw some details.

Then, his expression turned solemn.

He dimly saw some vague shadows standing among the buildings, gazing in his direction.

He scanned around, distinctly remembered seeing Martial Artists heading towards the structures to look for opportunities on this plane, but now he saw no figures, as if they had been "swallowed."

Was there hidden danger?

Ji Jingqiu wasn't sure.

The Ancient Road was full of opportunities, but naturally, it also had its equivalent risks.

The number of people from past generations who had entered the Ancient Road and managed to leave were only one-fourth, and that was considered good.

But this plane... gave him a strange feeling.

Ji Jingqiu trusted his intuition.

Standing amid the tide, he gazed back, feeling the sense of crisis slowly intensifying.

It seemed that if he stayed any longer, something terrifying would happen.

[Leave this place.]

Ji Jingqiu felt a shock in his heart; it was Lady La actively speaking.

Ever since she adopted a standoffish attitude, she rarely initiated conversation; it was usually him attempting to make contact, yet at this moment she warned him.

"What's here?" Ji Jingqiu asked inwardly as he stepped further into the deep sea.

[This place has been eroded by the Spirit Ocean, forming an initial 'Void Disaster'.]

Ji Jingqiu's face slightly changed, and without hesitation, he turned around and left.

The so-called "Void Disaster" refers to when the power of the Spirit Ocean permeates the True Realm, merging and distorting the imaginary spirit and the tangible material world.

This was frequently encountered on the Heavenly Road. Even Heart Image Warriors faced it could only protect themselves because it wasn't some tangible monster but an abnormality similar to a rule, and only Heavenly Human Martial Artists could suppress it with their personal dojo.

In fact, this was also one of the main reasons various civilizations feared the Spirit Ocean – as long as the Spirit Ocean existed, Void Disasters could occur in any realm.

The stability behind the Federation was entirely maintained by the Four Directions God and Divine Monarch sitting in the Abyss Zone.

The Martial Artist who headed towards that direction earlier was likely gone.

Ji Jingqiu had no intention of testing whether his nascent dojo could suppress it and walked away without any regrets.

[This Ancient Road has been contaminated.]

Ji Jingqiu was moved, and asked, "In your eyes, what exactly is the Spirit Ocean?"

Previously, he had assumed that Hel, among the Four Demons, was a bizarre existence born within the Spirit Ocean, but now it seemed this was not the case.

But this time, Lady La did not respond to him.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, walked deeper into the sea, and entered the Boundary River.

Named the Boundary River, it was in actuality no different from the Han Sea.

Ji Jingqiu followed the coordinates, passing by countless bizarre and striking scenes along the way.

He did not linger for too long but quickened his pace and moved forward.

Suddenly, a haunting, powerful whale call came from ahead, and a shadow from above enveloped him.

He looked up and above the Boundary River, a massive entity resembling a whale slowly passed above him, casting an overwhelming shadow.

Ji Jingqiu halted, his gaze following the giant whale. While its movements appeared slow, it was actually very fast, and soon it would disappear from his sight.
