Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 386 - 182: Martial Arts Divine, Taboo Gate, Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp - Part 3

Meng Qianyun conversed in a low voice with Snow Ancestor, proposing something. The latter shook his head and then lazily coiled up again, his dark golden eyes half-closed, feigning sleep.

Seeing this, Meng Qianyun did not disturb further but carefully observed Ji Jingqiu behind him, predicting that the youth would arrive at the wooden house by tonight at the latest.

...

That night.

Ji Jingqiu took one step forward, yet for a long time, no new Sword Intent arrived.

He stood in place, stunned for a long time, only to find himself already at the side of the wooden house.

This left him in a trance.

How many days had it been?

Thousands of sparring sessions, break after break, the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment of comprehending Sword Intents, had intoxicated him so much that he almost forgot time itself, wholly immersed in the confrontation with thousands of Sword Intents.

And today, he finally arrived at the end.

Ji Jingqiu carefully assessed his own condition.

He was now brimming to the point of overflowing.

Even the Green Master in his hand had reached the end of its transformation, on the verge of leaping to something new.

Ji Jingqiu lifted his head to look.

That once distant wooden house was now before his eyes.

Meng Qianyun sat cross-legged before the cliffside cultivating with closed eyes.

Taking in a deep breath, he walked to the edge of the cliff, slowly settling down cross-legged, facing the whistling mountain breeze, slightly tilted his head back, no longer suppressing, welcoming the final sublimation.

The Green Master laying across his knees let out a pleasing hum at this moment, undergoing some mysterious transformation in sync.

That sword cry meandered far away, resonating over the mountain peak, trailing off with the howling wind.

Behind, the dozen or so Martial Artists who were still honing themselves with Great Grandmaster Sword Intents looked up and saw that latecomer sitting cross-legged at the cliff's edge, as if a sharpness was piercing through his body, continuously climbing, soaring straight into the clouds!

That sharpness, suppressed for so long, was as fierce as fire. Once free, it entangled with the atmospheric Qi of Heaven and Earth, endlessly elevating, filling the entire Heaven and Earth!

At this moment, Meng Qianyun too couldn't help but open his eyes, moved by the spectacle of Ji Jingqiu's Breakthrough!

For Ji Jingqiu.

He passed through as if it were a path he traversed countless times in daily life, an inadvertent step across, so much so that he himself felt nothing...

He attained Martial Arts Divine.

At this moment, within a flicker of the Heart Lamp, Ji Jingqiu saw the God within his heart.

Within the glow of that wisp of Heart Lamp, Ji Jingqiu saw the shadows of countless sword techniques—

There were the hundreds of self-taught sword techniques ranging from basic to Lower Rank;

There was the silhouette of Sword Skill learned from the senior, Zhuang Butong;

There was Marshal He with sword in hand standing between Heaven and Earth, announcing war against all, seeking only Great Freedom and Great Transcendence with a single strike;

There was his own successive creation of two unique sword techniques combining what he had learned;

Finally, it was the thousands of Sword Intents he encountered during the ten days of exchange, each path of the sword unlike any other...

All these "sceneries" along the journey were forever etched into the God within Ji Jingqiu's heart, carved, molded, tempered, and finally interwoven into it, becoming part of his Sword Skill.

In the obscure void.

A candle flame flickered in the profound darkness, growing brighter, from deep red to golden yellow, interwoven with the breath of life, until it burned at its zenith!

Others see the God within their hearts when the Heart Lamp is at its zenith, but Ji Jingqiu at this moment did the opposite. It was by igniting the God within his heart that he spurred the Heart Lamp toward its zenith, and then nourished the God within in return.

The two nurture each other, propelling each other forward.

Until a pure Divine essence was born within Ji Jingqiu!

This pure Divine essence, like a mirror, "reflected" Ji Jingqiu's martial arts cultivation, revealing the flaws and deficiencies in his own path.

This is the true "God within the Heart"!

Ji Jingqiu calmed his mind, gazing into this "mirror," reflecting upon one's sword techniques, identifying the deficiencies in his own Sword Skill, and then in this moment opportunistically compensating, until breaking through a certain limit!

In an instant.

Ji Jingqiu entered a wondrous Mental Realm.

Heavy snow, mountain summits, cold wind... everything at this moment harmoniously blended, as if unified into one entity.

He crossed a threshold, truly understanding the principles of Sword Skill, comprehending the Divine Intent, reaching the pinnacle of ancient sword techniques, achieving the Sword within the heart.

The former allowed him not to be confined to the sword, anything in the world could become the sword, even the most ordinary Sword Skill in his hands could turn decay into wonder.

As for the latter, the so-called Divine Intent—Divine is Spirit God, Intent is Body and Intent, with each slash executed, the whole body follows, Body and Intent as one.

At this step, it's reaching the limit of the "mundane."

Beyond that is no longer an ordinary sword.

But a sword of Law, communicating and harnessing the principles of Heaven and Earth, finding one's place in the operation of Heaven and Earth.

Ji Jingqiu carefully perceived the transcendent state of this moment, not just the Divine Intent illuminating his body and soul, but also a fleeting sublimation and transition of Mental Realm.

This was a transient state which he was attempting to imprint permanently, to preserve forever. freёnovelkiss.com

Moments later, his body and mind approached Perfect completion, feeling as if his wings were fully feathered, unbound, ready to soar freely in the vast sky.

At this moment, he had already transcended the limits of the Great Universe True Seed Realm in terms of Combat Power. Even placed within the Nine States where rules didn't suppress, he had climbed to the pinnacle, worthy to overlook his peers from all over the world!

It was time to proceed to White Jade City to test his sword!

...

Meng Qianyun looked at Ji Jingqiu and nodded secretly.

Deserving indeed of someone who, within five days, traversed the entire journey, unraveling the thousands of Sword Intents left by the ancestors.

The path of Godseeing for this youth was not only smooth but overwhelmingly effortless, his accumulation also profound to the extent of nurturing a trace of pure Divine essence effortlessly, surpassing the majority of Divine Travel Warriors.
