Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Since his first deep dive into the Spirit Ocean, this was still the first time Ji Jingqiu had ventured this far out into it.

Normally, he would usually use the Spirit Ocean as a stepping stone, directly entering the Buddha Country to snatch a bit of Buddha fat and Buddha ointment.

This trip, he truly experienced the scenic wonders of the Spirit Ocean.

Here, the boundaries between light and shadow became blurred; it was mostly dark, but occasionally one could catch glimpses of light strands weaving mysterious patterns in the distant void, seemingly narrating stories from unknown eras.

The space here also lost its familiar form; it would occasionally warp into a complicated spiral labyrinth, where a single step might cover hundreds of meters, or one might wander around the same spot for ten-odd minutes...

Along the way, there were all sorts of bizarre spiritual waves, with bone-chilling noises emerging from the surrounding darkness, or familiar voices luring Ji Jingqiu further into the depths.

If one responded to them, attuned to these strange spiritual waves, they could then perceive the magnificent and fantastical "scrolls."

If one gazed at these scrolls for too long, they would be overwhelmed by the myriad emotions and thoughts interwoven within, unawarely sinking deeply into them and becoming part of the "scroll."

In a sense, these scrolls were also a kind of small integration thought body, or perhaps "Divine."

As for how Ji Jingqiu knew this...

He had just been studying a scroll intently under the shine-through-all Mist Darkness Wisdom Light above his head, and discovered that its existence resembled that of the True Buddha, so he tried to "purify" it with Glazed Glass Light.

The True Buddha was too "vast"; this was just right for a bit of practice.

But as soon as he started, the other party vanished.

Under the dual protection of the Bodhi Tree and Constant Joy and Purity, Ji Jingqiu finally arrived at the coordinates and saw the so-called "Adventure."

It was a door.

Amid the Void, there stood silently a door leading to an unknown destination.

The door was made of some unknown dark wood, carved with patterns eerily familiar to Ji Jingqiu.

Thinking about it, he realized that the script on the door was the "Divine Text" spoken of by Zhuang Yanxing.

Shi had also once suggested that he take some time to learn it.

Unexpectedly, the "Adventure" left by Marshal He also involved what was known as Wilderness Divine Text.

Ji Jingqiu made a mental note, preparing to bring this matter up in the statutes upon his return.

Having found the Adventure, Ji Jingqiu left an anchor, planning to return first.

Suddenly, as he looked back, he saw two figures supporting each other not far behind.

This was his first time seeing other people in the Spirit Ocean besides himself!

The Spirit Ocean was vast and boundless; unless one was meeting at the same coordinates, it was very difficult to encounter others.

As they saw him, the two figures stopped, and looked towards him warily, a man guarding a woman in front of him.

They were whispering something quietly.

Listening to their speech, Ji Jingqiu looked slightly bewildered, sizing up the two.

Their clothing appeared normal, but he had no clue which dialect they were speaking; he did not understand a word.

Noticing their wariness, Ji Jingqiu did not approach rashly, but simply nodded politely to show friendliness.

He could sense that their spiritual cultivation was also in meditation.

Could these two also be from the Wilderness Sect?

Just as Ji Jingqiu was about to leave, to ask Jiang Minghuan, he suddenly noticed a change at the door.

The patterns on the door were slowly filling up with color, as if some ceremony had been activated at this moment.

Ji Jingqiu blinked; wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow?

Could the Wilderness Sect really be relied upon?

The Door of Adventure, standing in the Void, opened.

Ji Jingqiu glanced at the two people behind him, their eyes filled with longing, and kindly stepped aside to give them the path into the door.

The two were obviously still very cautious but couldn't resist the temptation of the Adventure and cautiously, guarding against him, quickly walked through.

Seeing that both had entered, and discerning no harm, Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, detected nothing unusual, and also stepped in.

...

At the restaurant.

[Have you contacted Ji Jingqiu yet? The Adventure is starting tomorrow.]

"I've contacted him, explained everything clearly, and he's very interested."

Jiang Minghuanburped lazily, leaning back in his chair, and liaised with the upper levels in the Sect.

A query came from the restaurant doorway; she turned to see a robust martial artist.

"Miss Jiang, please follow us; Ji arranged an empty room for you."

Ge Hong glanced at the empty plates on the table, respecting this unfamiliar girl.

With such an appetite and knowing Ji, she must also be some martial arts genius from somewhere, just a bit unfamiliar.

"Alright! Thank you!" Jiang Minghuan got up, wiping the corners of her mouth, thinking she could finally have a nice bath and sleep!

After thanking Ge Hong again, Jiang Minghuan sprawled across the bed, the fatigue of the past days rushing over her, and she gave up on the idea of taking a bath, ready to just sleep through.

Yet the liaison refused to leave her be.

[There's only him for this task; some things you need to clarify with him]

"I've clarified everything."

[Has he found the coordinates yet? That area is closer to the Deep Layer, it's riskier. You should have come to find him earlier, to be prepared.]

Jiang Minghuan considered for a moment; she had just finished a meal, Ji Jingqiu was probably just setting out.

"He's just set out, there shouldn't be a problem, he's now among the Federation's top talents!"
