Chapter 614: Chapter 614

The constraints of the Great Universe on the spirit are still too strong. It's unknown whether the relaxation of the rules four years later will change anything.

And this battle made him truly realize the terror of being crushed by spiritual cultivation.

Sweeping across peers in the same realm like sweeping away fallen leaves.

The descriptions in ancient texts about easily hypnotizing the creatures of an entire planet when reaching a certain level are no jokes, but reality.

And this is just a superficial manifestation.

To deceive Heaven and Earth with the spirit, to shake Heaven and Earth, and even evolve Heaven and Earth, are the true paths of this way!

Within the Vajra Sect, Luo Wuji swept the mat to welcome visitors, letting his disciple serve tea on the side.

Ji Jingqiu took his seat and went straight to the point, discussing the interpretation of the Vajra rather than conversing, he used the Zen Meditation Seal as an initiation to exchange Divine Skills of the spirit with the other party.

The Zen Meditation Seal is also an important legacy from the World Venerable Lineage, and when combined with the Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization, it forms a Spirit Secret Skill. Although it is not as powerful as the other party's Divine Skills, in some aspects, they can mutually corroborate each other.

During this time, Luo Wuji's eyes became more profound, and his Zen presence faintly revealed signs of enlightenment.

The two discussed until the next day's early morning.

Ji Jingqiu left the deeply contemplating Luo Wuji and stepped out alone from the sect's gate, welcoming the dawn light.

At this moment, a sense of stability and satisfaction flowed through Ji Jingqiu's heart.

He had never thought that just the first battle would vaguely reveal to him the path belonging to the Formless Dao Body.

As the Daoist Master of the Vajra Dojo, Luo Wuji, who had studied the classics for decades, held many insights into Buddhist principles.

During the nightlong discussion with him, Ji Jingqiu gained a whole new understanding of much of the content in the ancient texts of the World Venerable Lineage.

He used this to explicate his insights from the exchange with Luo Wuji, vaguely seeing the road ahead.

What is Formless? The four words are sufficient: all phenomena are not true phenomena.

The Formless is hard to define, just like light - formless and abstract, difficult to capture.

But if light shines into water, it takes on a shape.

The Formless is similar; therefore, to realize the Formless, one must first view All Phenomena amidst the mundane world.

Cultivation is said to be about understanding the world and oneself. So, how should one go about this process of understanding the world and oneself?

He felt it should be divided into two steps.

Seeing All Phenomena is the step to enhance perception and knowledge, which requires polishing the mirror in hand, to reflect the world and oneself.

But to truly realize the Formless, mere polishing is not enough. The ultimate wisdom must be "realized", not just incrementally compensated with quantity. One should shatter the mirror.

The former adds, to see All Phenomena;

The latter subtracts, refining Hundred Scriptures, only by realizing everything, can you encompass everything.

Only from the nothingness can one ascend to the everything, and then from everything ascend to the void, to see the true Formless.

This was his insight when he first contemplated the Formless Daoist Scripture, and now it was realized, filling the void.

Ji Jingqiu thought, perhaps at this stage, is when the great form is formless.

Perfectly harmonious, clear and complete, thoroughly understanding both Heaven and Earth, pervading the ten directions.

He sighed; that step seems so distant.

Even breaking through as a Heavenly Person, he was still far off, wasn't he?

But soon, his spirits lifted as, after all, he had found the path ahead.

The path lies at your feet; how can that not be exhilarating?

The battle with Luo Wuji the previous day had allowed him to faintly sense the existence of something innately his own.

He was still attempting to capture its pattern.

"Dao Asking Hundred Veins..." Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself.

The Martial Arts of the Federation, indeed, will not lose to anyone!

Ji Jingqiu contacted Yan Ruhuo through the smart terminal.

The latter solemnly stated that they had already received the news, and even the battle from the previous day was under their surveillance. The Deep Red Laboratory was calculating some key data.

Eventually, they would give him a "surprise", letting him more directly know how far he was from becoming a Heavenly Person.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but be astonished upon hearing this.

What data theories had the Deep Red Laboratory grasped that could vividly display the gap between Heavenly Persons and those below them?

Arranged by Yan Ruhuo, Ji Jingqiu said farewell to Luo Wuji's disciple and embarked on the return journey to the Four Guardian Stars.

According to Yan Ruhuo, the old generation of strong individuals from the Federation were all on the Four Guardian Stars!

In addition, young people like Ji Jingqiu who also went to the Nine States had already returned to the Great Universe, appearing on the Four Guardian Stars.

Before hanging up the call, Ji Jingqiu looked up at the sky.

Previously, his Divine Sense had felt that something in the sky was observing this battle. If he wasn't mistaken, it might have been some strong individuals.

He wondered if Elder Mu was among them.

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself; he had previously promised to send him the World Venerable Skill...

As Ji Jingqiu was on his way back to the Four Guardian Stars.

The aftermath of this battle gradually spread within a limited area.

First and foremost, it confirmed one thing — Ji Jingqiu had truly broken through Spiritual Fetal Breath.

Just this news alone caused ripples across various Martial Arts veins.

Then, an unprecedented pressure and headache followed.

Again, that question, who should they choose to counter Ji Jingqiu's challenge?

Unintentionally, everyone gradually replaced the casual "that kid" with "Ji Jingqiu", completely putting aside the arrogance from the elders, or some subtle thoughts.

At this stage, age seemed to be a mockery of them.

As Martial Artists contest their strengths, one knows after the fight – it's the most simple and pure matter.

Those powers in the know started to worry about how to prepare for battle.

With insufficient spiritual cultivation in the Chains Realm, they might just be delivering food to Ji Jingqiu's doorstep.

Unless they bring a special Meditation Device.

But would that be considered cheating?

And if not, then should they send a Heart Image Warrior?

From Heart Image to the early phase of the Chains Realm... that's already four to five minor levels, a whole major level difference.

After all, the Mu Family's Great Grandmaster stood behind Ji Jingqiu, and perhaps it represented the Mu Family's stance as well. How could they not show face?

Some even quietly contacted the Mu Family to gauge the sentiment. The Mu Family's support for Ji Jingqiu, could it be they want him to marry into their family?

But unexpectedly, the message received from the Mu Family was "no need to care about their views".

This was quite thought-provoking.

Was the attitude of the Mu Family towards Ji Jingqiu inconsistent with that of the Great Grandmaster?

Considering the premise of the old generation's impending departure, various parties fell silent almost unanimously, not gloating but somewhat solemn.

This appears... not to be a good thing.

A day later, under the operation of Sui Canghai, the spaceship entered spatial jumping and arrived above the Four Guardian Stars.

Ji Jingqiu no longer needed the so-called three days of silence, directly setting foot on the land of the Four Guardian Stars.

He immediately felt the vibrancy from Lady La.

Not the increasingly humane Lady La from the Inner World but the true form of Hel!

She was attempting to descend and appear before Ji Jingqiu!
