Chapter 127: The Four Degrees of Bowing

Chapter 127: The Four Degrees of Bowing

"It's been a long time since we've seen the Wood Virtue Dao Field's Immovable Bodhimanda Body. This young man from the Mu family is extraordinary. Even without forming his Body of Power, he can manifest the Dharmic Body Embryo in the mortal world."

"Indeed, while there's the special case of the Four Guardians Star, it also proves that he has an exceptional affinity with the Immovable Bodhimanda Body."

"Haha, Ji Jingqiu is in trouble. This 'Great Wisdom Sword' is a Mind-Body Unity Technique, and it's his first time encountering it. He's probably at a disadvantage."

In the virtual world's control room, observers from various factions were discussing animatedly.

Divine Roaming Realm Warriors, when the strength of the True Self surpasses a critical threshold, can integrate their physique, mind, inner visualization, and even combat techniques into a unique aura.

This aura is named Aura.

The most criticized aspect of the Federation's laboratories is their theoretical approach, but they fail to provide any practical significance!

Just then, a commotion was heard from outside the room.

Ji Jingqiu was escorted to a private room, where Mu Juncheng was already waiting.

Upon learning the news, he immediately sent a message to his third grandfather.

After speaking, he lightly walked to the side.

Hearing the surrounding congratulations, Duan Xuanji's face showed helplessness as he pondered how to escape the current "predicament." Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said, "It's been so long, why haven't Brother Ji and Brother Mu come out yet? Are they looking down on us and unwilling to continue drinking with us?"

"According to the rules of this martial arts competition, the winner is the one who survives to the end, regardless of the means. So, the second place should be Zhuang Yanxing from the Heavenly Mechanism Dao Field." The military representative spoke with a peculiar expression.

"With so many talented individuals gathered, it's bound to be an exciting competition."

"Brother Ji, who do you think, aside from you and me, will be our future rivals tonight?"

Before the observers could finish savoring the moment, the battle had already concluded.

"Brother Ji, cheers!" Yue Qingtian, not far away, raised a large bowl, exuding a particularly bold demeanor.

In the end, Ji Jingqiu was forcefully escorted into the banquet hall by a group of people.

Ji Jingqiu's words had been so considerate, boldly speaking up to divert attention towards himself!

"This young man must have achieved Mind Concentration! Even in the Four Guardians Star, it's rare to reach this level of Mind Concentration!"

The researcher took a step back and said sternly, "Not even on principle! The combat data from this battle is crucial and cannot be leaked."

Hearing that his third grandfather was still insisting on the research, Mu Juncheng couldn't help but sigh.

Among warriors, a single battle can reveal the character of their opponents; it's not an illusion.

...

For genius warriors who have formed the Superior Body of Power, what they condense is not Aura, but the Dharmic Body Embryo.

"He's probably just stepped into Bright Mind, and he's at a disadvantage due to his shorter cultivation time."

The old man advised him to make many friends, and tonight, he seemed to have achieved that.

The white-haired Pei Jing also passed by silently, raising his cup in a subtle gesture.

Ji Jingqiu's third grandfather wasn't suited for martial arts. Years ago, he had a falling out with his family and stormed out. Ironically, these years of wandering had inadvertently led him to guide a genius warrior like Ji Jingqiu.

"You don't need to send everything; just the last battle between me and Brother Mu will do. Brother Mu asked me to send it to him." Ji Jingqiu thoughtfully considered Mu Juncheng's situation.

"I remember the Daoist from the Heavenly Mechanism Dao Field this year is called Duan Xuanji, right?"

"Brother Ji! What are your future goals? Do you aspire to become a Master or a Grandmaster?" someone in the crowd shouted.

Mu Juncheng was taken aback, and a sense of gratitude welled up within him.

The military representative nodded, "I'll explain the situation clearly, and the higher-ups can decide on the next steps."

The essence lies in its inherent Principle.

Bian Rong casually dismantled the heavy wooden door, set it aside, peered into the room, and said with a sinister smile:

However, tonight's performance by Yue Yourong had to be acknowledged as a significant achievement for the Sea Martial Association over the years.

After absorbing the power of the Sea of Suffering from the inner visualization of the world, Fat Tiger underwent some kind of transformation.

Ji Jingqiu looked at the photo of the old man, nodded, and confirmed, "Yes, I know him. He was the one who guided me onto the path of martial arts."

"Isn't the second place Mu Juncheng? What's there to hesitate about?" the others asked.

Wood Virtue Dao Field also sent a representative tonight, but he was defeated by Yin Wushuang from the Celestial Sword Dao Field, even before Ji Jingqiu.

According to the Federation's research, theoretically, the cultivation level of Profound Meditation is sufficient for the mind to detach from the physical body and influence the external world. For example, with a simple snap of their fingers, a Profound Meditation cultivator can make a mentally weak ordinary person obey their every command...

"In my youth, everyone who saw me had to lower their brows in respect."

The representative of Wood Virtue Dao Field, Yin Hua, firmly stated, "Absurd! How can Yan Shidi's personal opinion represent the entire Dao Field?"

Unfortunately, he was still some distance away from the minor success of his Body of Power and the manifestation of the Dharmic Body Embryo. Temporarily, he couldn't manifest the Dharmic Body Embryo like Mu Juncheng, but he had evolved Fat Tiger's body instead.

The sword technique contained no divine ability or profound intent, yet it stirred ripples in everyone's hearts, making them feel as if they were missing something.

Mu Juncheng stared at Ji Jingqiu, feeling amazed.

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "Everyone here is strong. It's hard to say who will be the future champion."

The crowd exchanged glances.

"Brother Ji, let's toast to our friendship!" Diao Xingyun, with a strong smell of alcohol, hooked his arm and belched.

"No." The researcher shook his head.

If they could bring back the video of today's battle, they could analyze it further to identify potential weaknesses in these warriors and the direction of their current martial arts journey...

Tonight, he had also achieved the goal of having "friends all over the world."

Yin Hua pretended not to hear, ignoring the fact that Tianfang Dao Field's Fang Buyu had been drafted into the military by Ji Jingqiu.

In fact, he also found it hard to cope with the phenomenon on Fat Tiger's body, only knowing that it was related to the Sea of Suffering.

Mu Juncheng, who was also under the spotlight, looked at the endless stream of alcohol being delivered to the door and sighed, feeling that tonight he would have to drink until he dropped.

"Was that last strike a sword wind, or... 'Unbound Mind'? Or am I just seeing things?"

The banquet hall was brightly lit, with a group of young people toasting and chatting in a harmonious atmosphere.

"It's nothing, just a simple application of Heart-Electric Technique," Mu Juncheng laughed casually.

However, the issue shouldn't be too big. After all, Ji Jingqiu had previously displayed a strong Zen intent, clearly not having fallen into the wrong path.

"Is this everything?" Mu Juncheng's expression turned troubled. "This might be a bit troublesome. I'll need some time. This situation is actually quite special, and theoretically, it shouldn't be possible..."

After confirming Ji Jingqiu's relationship with his third great-uncle, Mu Juncheng's demeanor and tone became much more amiable. They began chatting about the recent situation of Mu Xuan Ying.

"Then tonight, I'll take my leave. I still need to rush back to the company." Ji Jingqiu stood up and said.

After speaking, he even activated his terminal and projected an old photo.

However, based on his understanding of Ji Jingqiu, the latter probably wouldn't agree to this battle, unless he truly took a liking to someone.

"Hehe, I think Zhuang Yanxing is also a good choice."

With the relationship to the third great-uncle, if Ji Jingqiu is willing in the future, the main branch of the Mu family would likely be delighted to have him marry a woman from the clan and enter the Mu family by marriage.

Mu Juncheng, standing behind him, placed a hand on his shoulder and sighed, "I just advised Brother Ji for a long time, but he still insisted on leaving. Perhaps it's because I'm too young and my words carry little weight. It's up to you all now."

Ji Jingqiu was taken aback.

"A glorious era..."

The researcher shook his head, "Sorry, it's against the principles."

"Isn't this the Middle-Level Visualization Diagram? Hehe, the Dragon Tiger Dojo is really stingy. How about this, why don't we let the Celestial Sword Dao Field take Ji Jingqiu, rest assured, we can still squeeze out some core heritage resources!"

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned sincere, "I want to discuss the application of this with Brother Mu."

"It's just a private battle, and our decision doesn't really matter. The young ones already have their own judgments on who's stronger and who's weaker." Someone chuckled.

"What martial arts and visualization diagram did Brother Ji study before he started forming his Dao body?"

Ji Jingqiu guessed that it was the blood-stained intent from Fat Tiger that had aroused Mu Juncheng's confusion and concern.

Martial.

To cultivate the Mu family's secret technique and demonstrate the Great Purity Zen Intent that could even suppress Mu Juncheng, no one in the Mu family would believe that Ji Jingqiu is a killer! "I previously cultivated the Tiger Devouring Sword Chart and the Divine Tiger Combat Technique." Ji Jingqiu added, "Later, I also learned a bunch of miscellaneous sword techniques."

"No, considering his background, it seems to be... the Tiger Devouring Sword Chart?"

"True Seed Stage Mind Concentration, this kid's next step of seeing the Martial Dao Divine Kingdom is almost certain. What stage is his martial arts cultivation at now?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

He raised his cup to toast everyone, and his thoughts turned to his own old man.

When he gathered his aura, the manifestation was a "large number."

Everyone frowned, trying to recall what was hidden within that seemingly light and airy strike.

Even though Ji Jingqiu didn't particularly like alcohol in his past life or this one, he had to admit that it was a real relationship enhancer.

Ji Jingqiu didn't know how much he had drunk that night, and with someone always by his side, he couldn't use Qi Energy to secretly expel the alcohol. His consciousness was becoming hazy.

"Yan Zixu was the representative of the Wood Virtue Dao Field last time, right? Can a Dao Field representative not represent the Dao Field's opinion?" Someone teased.

Among them, Song Youde, who came as the representative of the Dragon Tiger Dao Field, was surrounded by many people, who urged him to treat them.

Intelligence is crucial in the current martial arts competition.

"From now on, when you see me, just bow with a Four-Degree Bow."

The room fell silent.

Mu Juncheng nodded and then shook his head, "To be precise, it's the Dharmic Body Embryo. Didn't Brother Ji also manifest it in the end? But considering the situation, Brother Ji probably hasn't formed the Dharmic Body Embryo yet, right?"

After leaving the virtual world.

"I heard that the Wood Virtue Dao Field wants to have a friendly match with Ji Jingqiu in two months?"

The person took a step closer and spoke in a low voice, "What's the non-principle?"

This is theoretically possible.

The latter was obviously impossible, as Ji Jingqiu was the chosen one of the third great-uncle.

Song Youde glanced at him and said, "Even if you squeeze more, can you make him change his cultivation path? Although Brother Ji is a genius with natural talent, what he lacks the most right now is time. The right path is to complete the formation of the body as soon as possible. Other cultivation methods can wait until after the body is formed."

Aura is the high combination of a warrior's essence, energy, and spirit with their mind, and it is usually regarded as the external manifestation of a warrior's "true self."

Normally, it's hard to tell, but he's so cute and lovable.

"Alright, let's discuss tonight's battle. After this battle, the first place is naturally Ji Jingqiu, and as for the second place..."

His gaze swept across the group of young warriors with imposing auras.

"Does Brother Ji know the third great-uncle?" Mu Juncheng's voice was noticeably more amiable, "The third great-uncle's name is Mu Xuan Ying, of the 'Xuan' generation in the family."

If the message is correct, the person in front of him is one of the keys to breaking through the Sixth Limit!

"..."

For example, the killer moves of Ji Jingqiu and the other five at the end.

The night's observation ended here, and the observers began to leave.

Previously, they were all focused on the six-person melee and completely forgot about the lucky guy who had been following Ji Jingqiu as an informant.

Hearing these words, Mu Juncheng suddenly remembered that not long ago, the third great-uncle had sent him a message asking about the "Sixth Limit." His answer at the time was that there was no hope for the time being.

Moreover, in the previous battle, Ji Jingqiu had clearly cultivated the Mu family's mind secret technique, which he probably learned from the third great-uncle.

"I'm more interested in the aura he just revealed. Hmm, he hasn't formed the Dharmic Body Embryo yet, so what he's displaying must be the visualization of his inner landscape. What visualization diagram is this, it's not the Formless Meditation Diagram, right?"

"Brother Ji, you're leaving without even drinking?"

Someone in the crowd asked, and everyone's gaze turned to the representative from the Wood Virtue Dao Field.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes lit up, and he took the opportunity to complete the incomplete version he had just mastered, feeling grateful for Brother Mu's kindness.

The cultivation threshold for mind secret techniques is usually very high, often starting with Mind Concentration. But Yue Yourong could use it in combat even without entering concentration, which is enough to prove its effectiveness.

"Alright, I'll leave then." The other person could only leave reluctantly.

He actually wanted the complete footage, which would allow him to "understand" everyone more comprehensively.

"Brother Ji, please speak freely."

Someone looked thoughtful, their gaze shifting to Song Youde, the representative of the Dragon Tiger Dao Field, in the crowd.

Originally, everyone thought that this statement was just a ploy to secure funding, similar to the claim that they were about to enter the investment payback period.

The strike was so swift, and the execution was so smooth that the latter seemed to surrender without a fight, allowing himself to be at the mercy of his opponent, with no resistance throughout!

Looking at the ferocious blood tiger bowing its head beside Ji Jingqiu, and sensing the overwhelming blood-killing aura, Mu Juncheng frowned, perplexed, and said, "This..."

At that moment, someone with a troubled tone, as if questioning themselves, said, "About that..."

And now, thinking back...

"Tonight's battle, with six people taking turns to besiege, the strongest among them was undoubtedly Ji Jingqiu and Mu Juncheng." Someone praised, "I'm even more excited for this Grand Martial Tournament."

At this moment, a military personnel stepped forward, their voice hesitant, as if unsure of their authority, and sought the opinions of others.

"By the way, Brother Mu, I have an unwelcome request."

But not long ago, the Sixth Limit was confirmed to have been opened, slightly embarrassing him.

However, since even Mu Juncheng found it tricky, that's that.

The latter's reply was simple, just a "Hmm," leaving it unclear whether he was indifferent or not surprised.

What a good person!...

As they chatted, the topic inevitably returned to martial arts, as there wasn't much else to discuss about Mu Xuan Ying.

...

Inside the banquet hall.

The reason for everyone's astonishment was that, in theory, 'Unbound Mind' was indeed achievable through Mind Concentration, but in practice, most people only achieved Rock Firmness!

"This... The second place should rightfully belong to Mu Juncheng."

The previously quiet crowd suddenly burst into a frenzy! 'Unbound Mind' refers to the liberation of the mind's power from the physical body's constraints, directly interfering with the external world.

Mu Juncheng refused without hesitation, "The data from this battle needs to be uploaded to the Crimson Red Laboratory, and it cannot be replicated. Sorry, Brother Ji."

These people, when placed outside, were all exceptional talents with powerful backers. Their gathering here was due to one word—

Even if there was a significant gap in cultivation realms, it was not impossible to fight across realms.

Within the Federation, the ten major academies and the leading academic institutions had been researching this aspect, and it was rumored that they had already achieved some success.

However, out of goodwill, Mu Juncheng still reminded Ji Jingqiu that it would be best to cultivate a calm and focused mind.

The fundamental reason was that the rules of the Great Universe World were powerful, and martial artists' minds were bound within their physical bodies, making it difficult to break free and interfere with the external world.

The observers waited for the outcome of the night's battle, but the situation in the arena suddenly changed! In the footage, Ji Jingqiu's body seemed to manifest a vague form similar to the Immovable Bodhimanda, but it was even more elusive, making it challenging to discern the true body behind it.

...

"That's too much of a joke."

Such a dense blood-killing aura in one's aura usually meant they had either studied extremely lethal demonic martial arts or were already bloodstained killers, true murderers.

...

This had always been the way aristocratic families recruited talents.

"Brother Duan! Congratulations!"

If Ji Jingqiu's memory served him right, Zhuang Yanxing was the kind of guy who was quiet but wild...

"By the way." Before leaving, someone deliberately lingered behind and asked the researcher in charge of debugging the virtual world, "Can you give us a copy of the battle video from tonight's fight?"

However, in reality, even if one reached Mind Concentration, without a special Mind Secret Technique, they would still need special materials like Mind Purifying Incense to project their mind outward and guide ordinary people into concentration.

"A bunch of sword techniques?" Mu Juncheng pondered, "The Dragon Tiger Dao Field was an ancient Daoist ancestral court, so their inherited techniques should be fine. It must be those sword techniques."

"He's still far from it. It's probably some secret technique." An observer with sharp eyes said, "A special Mind Secret Technique, combined with the unique characteristics of the Four Guardians Star, allowed him to temporarily reach this level."

"'Dao Field Embryo' plus 'Unbound Mind,' if this child reaches the Mind Visualization Realm in the future, will he soar to the heavens?"

Considering his grandfather's and great-grandfather's relationship with Mu Juncheng, he knew with his feet that this video would eventually be sent to them.

For a moment, some people's eyes were filled with anticipation, as if they could see the stars shining in a glorious era. Others slowly furrowed their brows, their eyes carrying hidden worries, because a glorious era often marked the beginning of a tumultuous one.

Ji Jingqiu found himself in an awkward situation, wanting to sneak away, but seeing the crowd outside staring at him with ill intentions, he thought to himself that it wouldn't be easy to leave tonight...

So, he raised his glass in front of everyone, speaking sincerely and from the heart, "Congratulations to Brother Duan for coming in second!"

Then, Mu Juncheng and Ji Jingqiu meticulously described this Mind-Electric Technique, and Mu Juncheng even demonstrated it personally.

"Who is Zhuang Yanxing?"

Since it was an unwelcome request, why did he even ask?

Ji Jingqiu glanced at the time, realizing it was getting late, and prepared to return to the Star Division to practice, forging the Bodhimanda of the Great King and reviewing the battle from earlier.

"Brother Mu, please send me a copy of tonight's battle video."

He suddenly burst into action, and when he reappeared, he slashed through Mu Juncheng and the Bodhimanda of the Great King in one strike.

"Not even the battle video?" The persistent person asked again.

Mu Juncheng was speechless. Why was this guy speaking in such an official tone? Ji Jingqiu suddenly said, "Was that aura unique to Enlightenment Realm warriors that Brother Mu displayed at the end?"

The numerous martial geniuses present simultaneously glanced at the time and clamored for the host and tonight's winner to come out and offer a toast.

That night.

Many people didn't take it seriously.

Continue typing, there will be another chapter later, around 1-2 am, so don't wait up.

[Regarding the readers' interest in keywords like 'Sun Blaze,' 'Suppression of the Same Generation,' and others, I will release a separate chapter to elaborate on these points. Today, there isn't enough space to cover everything. However, the protagonist's journey to dominance begins here. It's not that I'm suppressing the protagonist; instead, I want to explicitly show how the protagonist achieved excellence in various aspects, leading to their overwhelming victory over their opponents. So far, the protagonist has already surpassed others despite being the youngest and at the lowest cultivation realm. There are many more things to explain, but I won't elaborate here. I will provide a detailed report to everyone later.]
