Chapter 134: The Path of Martial Arts, Not Alone (7k5)_3
Ji Jingqiu's gaze narrowed slightly.
To exhibit Spirit Secret Skills just with a gaze?
Was this due to the divinity of her Taoist Body, or was there another reason?
This time, what Yue Yourong exhibited was not the frequently used Buddhist concept of Great Purity from that night, but a high, elusive charm that seemed to hang above the Nine Heavens, resembling Heavenly Will, looking down from above, ready to shock his spirit in an instant!
Furthermore, it contained Dharma; no, it should be said to contain the law of Heaven!
Ji Jingqiu's expression turned solemn, the Spirit Secret Skill that Yue Yourong displayed at this moment, even if not involving Dharma, was far superior to that night!
This must have something to do with the Taoist Body she forged as well as her divine traits!
Yue Yourong's eyes sparkled, indifferent like the will of Heaven, as if a divine spirit resided within.
But when she saw that Ji Jingqiu was almost unaffected by her Spirit Secret Skill, the indifference in her eyes gradually failed.
She looked at Ji Jingqiu with a skeptical gaze and suddenly asked in shock, "Have you also reached Great Success in your Cultivation Body, and grasped the Dharma?"
Ji Jingqiu's Spiritual Cultivation was still above hers; with preparations, it wasn't impossible to resist a Spirit Secret Skill with another Spirit Secret Skill, but it couldn't block the underlying Dharma!
Being able to block the Dharma indicated that Ji Jingqiu had also come in contact with the Dharma.
Ji Jingqiu said with a smile, "How could it be so quick, I only have some unique insights into the Dharma recently."
Yue Yourong's gaze grew solemn, and after taking another look at Ji Jingqiu, she praised:
"Good fellow, I underestimated you! Before reaching Great Success, just like Shi Xinwan, you've already grasped the power of the Dharma ahead of time!"
"Among the six of us that night, who do you fear the most?"
She suddenly asked.
Ji Jingqiu pondered and said, "Everyone is very powerful."
Hearing such a perfunctory answer, Yue Yourong gave him an annoyed look.
Ji Jingqiu shrugged and said, "Anyway, it couldn't possibly be senior Yue."
That truly hurt Yue Yourong deeply.
But she knew Ji Jingqiu was not deliberately offending her; he was speaking the truth! Because what she was best at was Spirit Secret Skill, yet her Spiritual Cultivation was a level below Ji Jingqiu's.
Yue Yourong thought to herself not to be angry, understanding this point was why she tried to team up with Ji Jingqiu before the competition...
But it still made her angry!
Yue Yourong spoke calmly, "Ji, do you know that in the selection competition one month later, you will see us as if we have been transformed?"
Ji Jingqiu smiled and said, "How so?"
"The Heavenly God Dojo has opened the ultimate trial for Bian Rong and Hong Qiyun. If they pass the trial and participate in the selection, it means they have at least reached Perfect Cultivation Body, and grasped the unique 'Divinity Transformation' Secret Technique of the Heavenly God Dojo!"
"The scoundrel from the Heavenly Sword Dojo has also entered a life-or-death retreat. If he comes out alive, he surely will have comprehended the True Meaning of Heavenly Sword and mastered the fourth divine trait [Path Cutting and Seeing Me]. Just the enhancement of this divine trait can increase his Sword Qi's might several times over!"
"Mu Juncheng is even less to mention, as he has already returned to the Mu Family ancestral home."
"In addition, there are many martial arts geniuses you haven't seen that night, some of them, whether in talent or background, are not inferior to us."
"I'm no exception."
Yue Yourong lowered her voice and fixed her gaze on Ji Jingqiu, saying softly,
"We are all prepared to participate in this year's Great Martial Arts Competition, so the forces behind us have brought out what they call the foundation, helping us reach the peak in the final time."
"Ji, in terms of talent, you are above us, but your weaknesses are also very obvious."
"First, you are too young. Six months to a year, if placed in the lifespan of a Martial Artist of a thousand years, would be insignificant, but if it's between sixteen to twenty years old, it would form an insurmountable chasm."
"Second, after all, you are just one person. Does the Dragon Tiger Dojo have the foundation to help you this year? The Star Group is just a second-rate force, being able to assist you in forging a Taoist Body is already quite impressive."
"So would you consider giving up this year's selection competition and Great Martial Arts Competition? Perhaps starting from next year, the Four Guardian Stars will be your territory alone."
"I still remember what you said last night... to make all Martial Artists bow before you, that can truly be achieved next year if you wish."
Yue Yourong spoke softly, her words carrying an undercurrent of pressure and enticement.
Ji Jingqiu pondered and said, "Senior Yue has also realized the last point, that's why you would go all in and bet everything just to participate in this year's Great Martial Arts Competition, to avoid me, right?"
Yue Yourong's mouth twitched, the kid is indeed arrogant...
Ji Jingqiu smiled and said, "Senior Yue, rest assured, I never worry about those whom I have defeated."
Yue Yourong's breath hitched.
Ji Jingqiu shrugged and said, "I originally thought that senior Yue you sought me out to invite me to team up against Yin Wushuang, Brother Yin."
Yue Yourong's expression stiffened for a moment and then relaxed, she snorted lightly and said, "I have my own methods for that man, the Heavenly Sword Dao Body is unrivaled in sharpness, but is also too rigid and easily broken!"
"Alright, no kidding."
Yue Yourong became serious again and said, "This time I'm looking for you, it's truly to discuss two important matters with you, the first matter is that I want to team up with you in advance."
"Team up? Great Martial Arts Competition can have teams? Or is it the selection?"
"It's not the Great Martial Arts Competition," Yue Yourong's eyes shone as she spoke, "but the future!"
"Senior Yue might as well speak more cryptically, that way I'll understand even less," Ji Jingqiu tactfully suggested.
Yue Yourong rolled her eyes and said, "Have some patience. Have you been to the Heavenly Road?"
"Isn't that a place only Divine Travel Warriors qualify to explore?"
Ji Jingqiu remembered his grandfather advising him to explore it only after he overcomes the Chains.
In that place, Divine Travel is only a threshold, survival is often difficult.
