Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 403 - 187 A Scene from the Exchange Competition, Lord of the East Three Bright Star, Great Red Sky Palace

Lady La did not speak.

Ji Jingqiu also wasn't going to take the initiative to make an unwanted approach.

However, Fatty Hu darted forward like he had seen some new toy, yet hesitated to come closer, and gauged from a few steps away with a tilted head.

Ji Jingqiu ignored this foolish tiger; after all, it wouldn't die.

After confirming that the division of Lady La's origin was complete,

He exited the Inner Realm world. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ning Fengyuan's profound eyes that seemed about to devour him.

"Boy, did you feel the call of this sword?" Ning Fengyuan asked in a deep voice.

Ji Jingqiu scratched his head and said, "Not really, but Senior Xuan Yi bestowed me with a Secret Technique."

Xuan Yi...

Ning Fengyuan's vision darkened.

He even told the name!

He had stayed here trying for so many years, and this lord had never once paid him any attention!

Ning Fengyuan silently turned and walked away, hands behind his back, hunched over. Despite being a grandmaster, his silhouette somehow looked desolate.

Ji Jingqiu watched him leave directly, and then stepped forward under the summons of Senior Xuan Yi, drawing the Green Master.

Another sound of sword cry echoed.

This time, the sword cry resonated with Green Master. The blade trembled lightly, undergoing a mysterious transformation akin to a martial artist being reborn.

"Thank you, Senior Xuan Yi, for your assistance!" Ji Jingqiu sincerely said.

As the sound of the sword cry calmed down, this long sword sealing Hel quieted again, no longer paying attention to Ji Jingqiu, and slipped into slumber.

Yet, Ji Jingqiu felt an indistinct sense that this senior was possibly mourning the departure of Senior He.

He respectfully bid farewell carrying Green Master, and then turned to leave.

He had achieved all his purposes in the trip to the Four Guardian Stars; it was time to depart.

Before leaving,

Ji Jingqiu and the others from the Four Guardian Stars gathered, the location set at the Heavenly Person Tower in Ziwei City.

It was the same place where Mu Juncheng had hosted various factions on behalf of the Mu Family.

But this time, it was an invitation issued personally by Ji Jingqiu, managed by the Dragon Tiger Dojo, and almost included all the martial artists Ji Jingqiu had crossed hands with and those he met in the competitions.

Those invited, none failed to respond upon hearing.

"It's a pity, Wushuang and the others went to the exchange competition and couldn't come."

Diao Xingyun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Standing in this tower, which was only second in height to White Jade City on the Four Guardian Stars, one could overlook a large part of Ziwei City.

Looking out at Ziwei City under the night sky, Diao Xingyun curiously said, "What do you think, does the view from the top of White Jade City look the same as ours now?"

Bian Rong looked towards the door and chuckled, "Hey, Ji is here, go ask him yourself."

Revisiting an old place.

Ji Jingqiu entered the banquet hall, greeting each martial artist he had previously encountered, including Duan Xuanji, Pei Jing, Li Chengfeng, Song Chongshan, Yue Qingtian...

"Ji! Tonight, we don't return unless drunk!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Definitely, we don't know when we'll gather again next time, we must get him drunk tonight!"

"Right, this might be our only chance in this lifetime!"

...

As soon as he entered the tavern, he heard a group of people clamoring to get him drunk. Ji Jingqiu was speechless, and after greeting everyone, he found Diao Xingyun and the others.

"Eh, where are Yin and the others?"

Ji Jingqiu glanced around, but did not see Yin Wushuang and Yue Yourong, expressing his surprise.

He originally wanted to meet Yue Yourong to try imprinting the essence of Heavenly Will Daoist Body.

"They went to participate in the exchange competition organized by several top-tier civilizations; they will probably return next week," Diao Xingyun shrugged, "As for Shi Xinwan, she returned to the Lion Heart Dao."

"Another exchange competition?" Ji Jingqiu was puzzled.

"Yep, this time it's led by a young person from Ji Family who has mastered the 'Heavenly Person Swordsmanship'. In total, seven people went, including Wushuang and You Rong."

Diao Xingyun paused, then chuckled,

"Zhang Sandao is also in the team."

Ji Jingqiu was slightly stunned, recalling something, then nodded, "Actually, he does have some strength. The heritage of Pure Yang Dao is quite intriguing, looking forward to meeting other Pure Yang Dao martial artists in the future."

Diao Xingyun was surprised, about to ask if it wasn't Zhang Buzhou whom he would meet again, then he suddenly grasped his meaning.

He gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say for a moment; there was really nothing to say.

Already proven, the martial artists overtaken by him could only watch his dust from afar.

"What are you planning to do next, Jingqiu?"

"Me?" Ji Jingqiu pondered, "I will go back to East Three Bright Star to handle some matters, and then it's time to prepare for the battle."

"I heard that the Federation will arrange seed warriors in advance to enter the Nine States, to adapt to the local customs there, as well as to spar with the local Heavenly Prides," Bian Rong whispered.

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

Regarding this, he had actually discussed with several Divine Lords.

The opinion of the Divine Lords was that following the Federation was not as good as following the connections left by Senior He.

The relations from Senior He's side can't be compared with the current exploration level of the Federation.

So far, the Federation has not contacted the true Overlord Level powers of the Nine States.

Once the martial artists above the Heavenly Person level from the Great Universe enter the Nine States, they would be clearly "tagged" and then hunted by the powerhouses of the Nine States.

Ji Jingqiu's cultivation had already reached a certain endpoint.

Apart from a few slow sustained cultivation spots, he no longer had room for progress.

After dealing with matters in the East Three Bright Star, he would return to the Nine States, to see if Aunt Mu had any other arrangements.

If not, then he would quietly cultivate, quietly waiting for the battle on the Ancient Road in a little over a month.
