Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 380 - 181: Gaining Momentum, Green Master Transformation, Sword Intent Collision
A Supreme Grandmaster bestowing both roles, what a temptation?
It's akin to someone telling you, do whatever you wish next.
But Ji Jingqiu discerned a subtle special meaning from the old man's words.
Ji Jingqiu fell silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "How about you give me the entire Mu Family?"
The old man smiled lightly, "I offer it to you, but do you dare to accept it, can you really handle it?"
"With your backing, anyone should be able to handle it, right?" Ji Jingqiu replied.
The old man shook his head and sighed, "Alas, had you come a dozen or so years earlier, I might really have been able to support you to secure this position, but not now."
Ji Jingqiu rubbed his forehead.
After probing, he found he had guessed right; the man truly intended to "give" the entire Mu Family to him as if entrusting an orphan.
What does "If one day I'm gone..." mean?
With these words, once his strength reached a certain level, taking charge of the Mu Family would happen as a matter of course, beyond reproach by anyone in the Federation, and the other Five Great Families would have no grounds for objection.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, elder," Ji Jingqiu openly stated, hoping the old man would speak plainly.
The old man calmly said, "Not understanding might be better, sometimes being a bit confused in life can also be a blessing."
Ji Jingqiu lapsed into silence.
In theory, a Supreme Grandmaster has no limit to their lifespan.
But today, Elder Mu revealed a shocking fact to him—he was about to be no longer within the Federation.
Whether by death, disappearance, or departure, that remained unknown for the time being.
But what was certain was that this Supreme Grandmaster, or perhaps... all Supreme Grandmasters, were going to depart soon?
If this news were to spread, it would be enough to shock the entire Federation, a truly sensational revelation.
With no Supreme Grandmaster to oversee, the Federation's structure was bound to undergo massive changes, and even the Six Great Families could no longer maintain their loftiness like before.
Ji Jingqiu suddenly recalled a piece of information inadvertently revealed to him by a female predecessor in the Cangqing Temple—five years later, the Great Universe would experience an easing of rules.
Could there be a connection between these two things?
But the old man clearly did not wish to reveal more information to him.
After a pause, Ji Jingqiu said, "I urgently need a spiritual mechanism, does the Mu Family have any over nine feet?"
True Seed creates the Dao Foundation, Divine Travel involves transformation, and purification.
Regardless of what happens in five years, he only needs to make himself stronger.
For this, he needs more spiritual mechanisms to purify and break through.
"Nine feet?" The old man pondered for a while then shook his head, "There is currently no stock of nine-foot spiritual mechanisms in the Mu Family, let alone nine feet, there aren't even eight feet."
Ji Jingqiu was surprised, finding a nine-foot spiritual mechanism was harder than anticipated, even the Mu Family had no stock.
"Then please, elder, help me straighten out my path in Martial Arts," Ji Jingqiu spoke after a brief contemplation, "Also, I would like to see the Mu Family's secret techniques."
"Alright," the old man nodded, "If you're looking for secret techniques like the Zen Meditation Seal, there actually aren't many left in the Mu Family today, and they are not suitable for you to cultivate now, the main secret techniques are preserved within the Supreme True Buddha Sect."
Ji Jingqiu was startled, was it truly so?
"You can try to connect with the Supreme True Buddha Sect as you grow," the old man paused, "That Supreme True Buddha might 'treat you differently'."
Hmm...
That predecessor indeed treated me differently, asking me to meet Him after becoming a Heavenly Person.
Afterward, the old man personally helped Ji Jingqiu straighten out his current path in Martial Arts and pointed out the future direction...
After bidding farewell to the old man, Ji Jingqiu left the courtyard, not far away, he encountered Mu Juncheng who was waiting there.
Seeing Ji Jingqiu's preoccupied look, Mu Juncheng couldn't help but curiously ask:
"What happened, what did the Elder tell you?"
Ji Jingqiu pondered whether or not to tell him that your family elder has entrusted you all to me.
Mu Juncheng suddenly showed a look of apology: "Sorry, Ji, the Elder is calling for me."
Saying this, he brushed past Ji Jingqiu and quickly walked toward the inner courtyard.
Ji Jingqiu returned to Yue Yourong and others.
He looked at the Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization Map, somewhat distracted.
...
Inside the courtyard.
"Elder!" Mu Juncheng spoke respectfully.
"From today, you represent the Mu Family by Ji Jingqiu's side," the old man spoke slowly, "Whatever he wants, try to satisfy it. If one day the Mu Family stands against him, your lineage must unreservedly support him, even if your enemies are your former kin."
Mu Juncheng was shaken, silent as thunder.
Earlier, what exactly had Ji Jingqiu and the elder discussed?!
...
...
A few days later, in the early morning.
Ji Jingqiu embarked on a journey to leave this planet.
He had bid farewell to Yue Yourong and the others the night before.
They would leave this place after a few days, returning to the Four Guardian Stars, so they agreed to meet later at the Four Guardian Stars.
Before Ji Jingqiu returned to the Four Guardian Stars, he would first visit Master Meng Pingchuan's old residence to complete the final transformation step of Martial Arts Divine.
But before that, he would make a detour to Tiangong Heavy Workshop, the origin of Daoge.
This was related to the forging of the Green Master.
Originally, the dojo was supposed to handle it, but after Qingyang Ancestor contacted Tian...
