Chapter 198: Virtue, The First Layer of Divine Treasury, A Thought Enters Divine Sojourn

Chapter 198: Virtue, The First Layer of Divine Treasury, A Thought Enters Divine Sojourn

It seems like his innate divine ability...

Internal application is more effective than external application?

Ji Jingqiu took advantage of the Shackles Realm's struggle with himself and quickly headed towards the wailing sound, his hand still trembling from the previous struggle.

It was only because this person's state was not right; otherwise, with his current situation, he would need much more to confront the one who had completely broken free from the human cage and burned his shackles, the Quasi-Taboo Warrior.

He arrived at the heart of the tribe, located within a vast and undulating mountain range. The cave entrance resembled the gaping maw of a colossal beast, and the surrounding trees were twisted and gnarled, devoid of leaves, with only their trunks remaining.

The air was filled with a faint black mist, and the vegetation was withered, devoid of any signs of life.

Ji Jingqiu looked towards the cave entrance ahead. If there were no surprises, the Spirit Nourishing Pool he sought would be located there.

Suddenly, the Green Sovereign erupted, pulling out a long string of sparks in the air, causing Ji Jingqiu to turn around abruptly.

Divine Traverse, Mind Wander.

In 1, 6, 1, 9? A book, 1, wrong version% !

The three characters of Ji Jingqiu abruptly vanished from the first stone tablet, as if they had been erased.

The cultivation system of the True Seed Realm had already reached perfection within the Federation.

Manifest Body...

Breakthrough to Divine Sojourn.

At this moment, some warriors understood their own limitations and directly attempted to break through their boundaries, seeking to gain an advantage in cultivation and then search for those who had not yet broken through, initiating bloody conflicts.

...

Using the life source energy he had absorbed over the past few days as a catalyst, he burst forth in an instant, pushing open the door before him!

As for the human body's acupoints... the process of constructing the divine body inherently involves the transformation of the entire body, including the utilization and development of acupoints.

After using his inner strength to clean his clothes, confirming that there was no dust or dirt on his body, he directly jumped into the pool.

The Federation's martial arts also required the cultivation of an inner world, and the harmony between the inner and outer worlds was the complete Heavenly Dao Field.

If compared to the Federation's martial arts, in the civilization system under His command, those who had unlocked the physical body's treasures were at least at the Fourth Realm.

And in this piece of land, two figures stood facing each other.

If left unchecked, one day, He would either fall into the same chaotic and ignorant state as the pseudo-gods of the Federation, or he would regress into her.

Since his debut, he had been renowned for his physically powerful body, and there were even rumors about his Martial Bone. After ascending to the Innate Dao Body, he had been catching up with those who followed the path of bloodline, tempering their bodies with their bloodline power, the Regressive Battle Bodies.

Ji Jingqiu walked towards the cave entrance, and with each step, his entire body radiated brilliance, spiritual radiance enveloping his physical body, as if a deity was awakening within him.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes shone like stars. After unlocking the first layer of the physical body's treasure, his body underwent a new transformation, becoming increasingly crystalline from bones to flesh, truly becoming the treasure body described in ancient legends.

As for the reason, it was simply because those four guys hoped that He would be magnanimous and help them guide Ji Jingqiu's growth, putting aside their past grievances.

After their disappearance, these Divine Sojourn warriors began to decline, their vitality waning, and only a few of them managed to stabilize.

Entering the cave, Ji Jingqiu looked towards its depths, where a pool of water shimmered with auspicious light, divine light swirling around it, resembling jade marrow and containing an incredibly rich concentration of life source energy.

At this moment, he felt as if he were standing before an ancient and majestic stone gate, its weight seemingly bearing the burden of countless ages, immovable by even the slightest force.

On the other side.

Looking at the Ancient Path, it was also considered a t1-tier Creation Land.

He attempted to retrieve it, and at that moment, a branch of the Bodhimanda Insight suddenly obstructed his path.

The birth of a living being within the body should have been a cause for celebration, but in the current situation, it was a deformation, a fall!

Divine Sojourn Realm...

"Leave, I don't want your blood to taint this sacred place. This is your last chance, leave or die."

Deep within the Heavenly Gate stood three stone tablets, engraved with countless names.

In the civilization system under His command, it was believed that the universe was composed of the fundamental four elements - earth, fire, wind, and water - and that mental power was the key to unlocking everything.

Subconsciously, a massive creation that had been sealed away for countless years began to stir, and a vast amount of information was extracted and compiled.

He looked at the Ancient Path mark on the back of his hand, his eyes gleaming.

La Jiang paused, as if today's "Daily Question" had come to an end, but the hesitation in his tone suggested otherwise.

The remaining six people exchanged glances, none of them confident in their ability to win the upcoming battle. After a moment of contemplation, they slowly nodded.

Just by approaching, they began to influence Ji Jingqiu's mind, but he remained steadfast, his heart unmoved.

At this moment, He could sense that Ji Jingqiu had indeed unlocked the physical body's treasure!

As Ji Jingqiu entered the Spirit Nourishing Pool and experienced his first significant transformation on the Ancient Path.

The various sacred treasures of the Ancient Path had already ignited bloody battles.

Could he still retrieve it?

A shower of light appeared, falling upon the stone tablets.

Someone watched from afar, and upon recognizing the man's face, his expression changed, and he whispered:

At this moment, this monstrous creature became extremely agitated and charged forward once more, its body enveloped in a layer of unclean and filthy dark domain.

...

Although he had only opened a crack in the door, he had still managed to open it, and he could already feel the transformation of his self after unlocking the treasure's door.

La Jiang was like a walking encyclopedia, but he lacked the authority to flip through the pages.

Or perhaps, who wouldn't have an extraordinary fortune to reach the level of Ji Jingqiu?

What they don't want, we must give! Zzzz—

[This is a Heart Nightmare, even more difficult to deal with than a Heart Demon. After receiving at least several decades of offerings, you have already fallen under its control.]



Of course, this was just an illusion after the breakthrough, but it also meant that his advancement was astonishing compared to before, surpassing his original self-perception and creating an illusion.

Previously, he had forcefully implanted the Mind Flame Omnipotent Lamp into the other's body?

The elder looked towards the depths, shaking his head, "First, let's take care of our people. Although the previous incident had its reasons, that senior may no longer trust us. Don't disturb him for now; he should already be in the Spirit Nourishing Pool. You personally take someone to guard the cave entrance, and remember not to go in and disturb him. Once he breaks through and gains control, he should come to us on his own."

Just like when he was in the Bosa Semi-Plane, the other's swallowing of the Life Essence Flower was extremely similar! Was there a connection between the two? Ji Jingqiu couldn't figure it out for the moment, so he gave up thinking and returned to the outside world.

"Surpassing the True Seed Realm, you can be promoted to the Second Tier."

Only then did Hera's voice lazily come through.

Suddenly.

As he began to familiarize himself with his own physique, this mistaken perception was corrected.

In the end, his body was enveloped by a layer of golden light, appearing like a deity descending upon the world, sacred and transcendent.

A great battle was about to unfold!...

This was a race against time, to see who could quickly gain the upper hand and convert potential into strength!...

Virtue...

He activated the Mind Flame Omnipotent Lamp, illuminating his inner self, quickly dispelling the discomfort in his physical body, and guarding his mind and body.

But this fellow refused to speak, and he couldn't force him to retreat.

Moreover, it was obvious that he had "grown" quite a bit!

...

...

Like water and fire meeting, the two were incompatible, and amidst the painful wails, continuous explosions could be heard from within the other's body, creating a chilling sound.

This array could sound an alarm and prevent enemies from entering, or at least buy some time.

He still hadn't found a way to grasp a handle on him...

Ji Jingqiu's name was also on this, listed at the forefront of the first stone stele.

"Divine Sojourn... It's been suppressed for too long; it's time to break through."

If one were to look within his body at this moment, they would see that his bones and organs were covered in a faint layer of golden light. This light continued to extend, covering every inch of his veins and meridians, encompassing his entire body inside and out.

Killing the Heart Nightmare to refine Virtue? Absurd! He suddenly looked towards the outside of the Pure Land, where the guardian deity, who had opened his eyes at some point, was looking at him calmly, causing his heart to tremble.

"The heart demons on the Heavenly Path?" Ji Jingqiu confirmed that the other was thoroughly dead before pulling out the Azure Sovereign and asking, "What about the heart demons on the Heavenly Path?"

After dealing with the Heart Nightmare.

The emaciated old man from the Shackles Realm sat cross-legged on the ground, his body withered, and even his blood and energy had dimmed significantly. However, within his flesh, divine light and lawful patterns intertwined and flickered, and the demonic marks on his body slowly circulated, cleansing the remnants of the heart corpse's lost spirituality within his body.

Ji Jingqiu was "filled to the brim."

And just as Ji Jingqiu opened the first layer of the Divine Treasury.

It was obvious that the other had occupied the body of a Void Demonic Descendant, but what was his true nature? He asked this question in his mind to La Jiang, but La Jiang didn't answer. Instead, he turned to look back, using Ji Jingqiu's eyes to see the monster before him, as if seeing something extremely peculiar.

After a long while.

Finally, at the tip of the branch, a drop of water slowly condensed and fell into the lotus pond below.

Ji Jingqiu began to review his breakthrough.

In an instant.

Ji Jingqiu wrapped himself in his aura, preventing himself from being splashed with blood, and continuously suppressed the other until the demonic being slowly collapsed to the ground, the strange existence supporting its actions dissipating.

"I understand."

Hera suddenly turned around. She was imprisoned here, almost split from her main body, unable to contact her original self. The "privilege" she had received was an intimate knowledge of Ji Jingqiu's situation.

"Elder, how are you doing?"

Without hesitation, Ji Jingqiu approached the pond, confirmed that everything matched the records, and then checked the array around Wuwang Mountain, activating it with the Nine Palaces' secret method.

On the peak of a nameless plane.

Upon seeing the drop of water condensed from the Bodhi Tree's branch falling into the lotus pond below, Hera's pupils shrank, revealing her astonishment at entering this inner world.

...

In a place of creation, intense divine substances surged like divine radiance in the air, flowing like a tide.

The jade-like pond water enveloped him, and the pure primal energy within the pond water flowed into his body through his pores, causing his entire body to glow with brilliance.

He hesitated for a moment, then squatted down, reaching out to press on the demonic being's chest. Soon, a burning flame, much stronger than before, slowly gathered in his hand.

Suddenly, a blade of light appeared like a startled swan, its tip piercing the other's forehead. Ji Jingqiu repeated his previous technique, causing a lamp core to glow at his fingertip.

At this moment, he was confident that in the True Seed Realm, his physique could rank among the very best.

He now attempted to initially open the door to his physical body's treasure.

All the names after him automatically moved up one position.

Outside the cave.

Ji Jingqiu slowly walked out of the pond, and the divine glow on the pond's surface dimmed, indicating that most of the primal energy accumulated over the years had been consumed.

Although he had the opportunity of creation by his side, this achievement was still remarkable.

A peerless beauty, she was from the Sky God Clan, and her name was Savar.

After a few clashes, the Azure Sovereign's blade cut into the other's flesh, like slicing through rotten wood, causing no pain or damage to the essence.

He now had a feeling that with a single punch, he could break free from the void's constraints and escape the heavenly cage...

【It's different. The heart demons on your Federation's Heavenly Path are all from Mara's clan, but this Heart Nightmare has no connection to Mara...】

Deep within an ancient ruin, there exists a herb field, a place akin to a pure land, sacred and pristine, with a rich herbal fragrance permeating the air. However, at this moment, the sanctity of the place is shattered by a surge of bloody violence.

Hela narrows her elongated eyes slightly, and beneath her cold gaze, there's a hint of surprise that's hard to detect.

Whether it's the only one or not, Ji Jingqiu has always adhered to the family's teachings and dared not speak of it arrogantly.

But a pure heart cannot exist in this world.

A physical body is needed to carry the spirit, like a vessel for the soul.

In the tribe, many of the Void Demonic Descendants have fainted, and only the Heavenly Journey Realm warriors who have entered the Divine Journey Realm remain conscious.

This surprises him a little. If he's not mistaken, the source of the crisis should be a Lawful Array Pattern set up by the Nine Palaces' senior, and the power of this formation is somewhat beyond his expectations, allowing him to sense the danger.

He has long known about the Heart Demon, and the Heart Corpse he used at the beginning of his cultivation was taken from the Heart Demon.

"I'm back again. This is the last chance. Only by reaching the first tier can there be a glimmer of hope."

Just by opening a part of it, an endless stream of life source energy gushes out like a tide, nourishing his physical body and pushing him towards a new transformation.

The massive amount of source energy in the Spirit Nourishing Pool continuously washes over his body. At his current level, it's impossible for him to absorb it all, and most of it is wasted, a truly extravagant squandering.

Ji Jingqiu walks towards the cave and senses a danger at the cave entrance. He takes out the Identity Token of the Nine Palaces, and this sense of crisis fades away.

He begins to recall the Divine Treasure System in his mind—

...

Seeing that he's getting better, several Divine Journey Realm warriors who were busy checking on the other tribe members come over: "Elder! Many have fallen into a state of decline. The ordinary tribespeople are doing well, but they will also need some time to sleep and recover their minds and spirits."

He turns to look at the Spirit Nourishing Pool, feeling a bit regretful. If only it could be moved.

A door appears within Ji Jingqiu's body and is slowly pushed open with difficulty.

A faint sound echoes in his subconscious, audible only to Ji Jingqiu.

"Such power..."

...

If there were a Celestial Prodigy from the Nine Continents here, they would be shocked to find countless once-renowned names on the stone tablet.

These powers of faith and vows are indeed stabilizing His state, becoming His anchor, but they are also influencing Him in subtle ways.

"As expected, breaking through the taboo in the outside world can directly enter the third tier of Wuwang Mountain, but it's not enough. I must reach the second tier before entering the Ancient Road."

He has already absorbed numerous life essences, elevating himself to the point where there's nowhere else to go. Next, he will attempt to open the first layer of the first Divine Treasure.

The young man with grayish-white hair stands with his hands by his sides, overlooking the sea of clouds beneath him and the black dimensional rift ahead that can swallow everything. His gaze is indifferent and weathered, and he murmurs:

"Elder..." someone calls out softly.

With the support of the secret technique, he gradually discovers the existence of the secret treasure's door. The treasure's existence is extremely mysterious, seemingly hidden within the human body, yet also communicating with another mysterious place. Once opened, it will initiate a new transformation, enough to uncover a lifetime's worth of potential.

What truly makes him feel challenged is a certain power of deformation. This power makes him feel like some parts of his physical body have developed their own spirituality and are attempting to deform.

"Then let's form an alliance!"

"We'll work together to share the providence of this place. After breaking through the Divine Journey Realm, we'll form an alliance and then conquer the Ancient Road together!" says a robust man with golden hair.

But thinking of the other party's "grand ambitions" before entering the Ancient Road, it's clear that they are targeting him.

Therefore, when the four Divine Lords made their initial choice, they only selected the most refined secret treasures and opened them with improved techniques tailored to the human physique of the Federation, incorporating the cultivation of the Divine Journey Realm.

With abundant life essences, he can use this leverage to pry open the first layer of the Divine Treasure.

If not for the stability of this Divine Ability imprint, his spiritual realm would have collapsed, and he would have fallen back into meditation.

Unconsciously, Ji Jingqiu looks at the demon in front of him. Is the Heart Nightmare being used as lamp oil?

The elder waves his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and sighs softly, "Back then, you coveted power and invited the evil spirits of the Ghost Sea. Now, they have been dispersed by the Great One, and falling into decline is the natural order. This power doesn't belong to you."

...

The reason He has remained silent during this period is to resist the "human desires" hidden within these powers of faith and vows.

Continuing like this will make it difficult to achieve a breakthrough.

For Ji Jingqiu, increasing his lifespan is not a priority. The key lies in enhancing his life essence.

A loud rumble echoes.

At this moment, the Bodhi Tree's branches and leaves rustle, and its sturdy trunk emanates a rich vitality. A hazy, clear light shrouds the tree, emitting a pleasant mood.

Although he didn't borrow power from that evil spirit, as the tribe's strongest, he is naturally the focus of the opponent's attention.

In a place of providence, the source energy shrouds, and heavenly fire rises. Countless lawful doctrines are inscribed here, making it an ideal place for tempering the body.

And at this moment, Ji Jingqiu is merely at the True Seed Realm.

With the opening of the physical body's secret treasure, the warrior's life essence will be greatly enhanced, and his physique will undergo a transformation. From then on, blood energy will flow within him, sustaining his life force.

Accompanied by a lofty, indifferent voice, as if carrying the will of heaven—

...

This is the place of providence discovered by the Nine Palaces' seniors, named the "Spirit Nourishing Pool," which can enhance the life source energy of living beings and extend their lifespans.

This is a transformation that occurs in the realm of the spirit and mind.

Inside the Spirit Nourishing Pool.

The elder looks at the tribe members lying on the ground and senses the Divine Ability imprint in his mind. Instead of suppressing it, he tries to nurture it with his own spiritual power, causing it to emit a gentler light.

For this, these guys even went as far as to help stabilize this strand of divided soul, infusing it with a massive amount of faith and vow power from the Federation.

Ji Jingqiu frowned, unable to recognize the origin of this thing.

After all, the universe is vast, with countless races, and the Nine Continents further gather many top-tier powerful clans, beyond the Federation's comparison. It's not impossible for there to be some earth-shattering secret techniques.

...

At the deepest part of the Ancient Road, a Heavenly Gate stands tall.

Nine figures each occupy a side, their appearances varying, from different races, yet sharing a common trait—all with astonishing auras and extraordinary strength, not a single weak one among them.

Countless True Seed Realm warriors embark on their respective journeys, not daring to waste a moment, as a moment's delay will result in being surpassed by countless others.

The Sky God Tribe's Bosa is also somewhat surprised, not expecting the other party to choose the same Creation coordinate as him, encountering each other so early on the Ancient Road.

This makes Ji Jingqiu start to reflect on himself.

That is a monster resembling a Demi-devil, with blood-red eyes and a body covered in black flesh, its demonic marks exuding an eerie and bizarre aura, filled with a sense of chaos and madness. Looking at it for a few more moments will cause discomfort and hallucinations.

So in their system, they cultivate the countless acupoints within the body, emphasizing the correspondence between the outer world and the inner world of the body, with the complete acupoints corresponding to the complete stars, drawing upon the stars to refine the body, and placing great importance on physical cultivation.

It is only on the Ancient Road that such extravagance is possible. If this were the outside world, just the act of prolonging lifespan alone would make this Spirit Nourishing Pool one of the highest-level foundations for any power.

He stands up, looking back at all his clansmen, his face showing pain, followed by acceptance and a wry smile.

However, opening the Physical Body Treasure has extremely high requirements for the body, so under Ji Jingqiu's design, the Physical Body Treasure is divided into three layers.

Some aspects of it are similar to the Federation's martial arts in a different way.

And immediately after.

This is... Virtue Water?!

"Elder, are we going to greet that adult?" someone whispers.

Ji Jingqiu opens his eyes, dissipating the last trace of demonic thoughts. In his eyes, a gentle lamp seems to light up quietly, warm and not dazzling.

Ji Jingqiu sits cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, his pores expanding, merging with the heavens and earth as one.

Physical Body Treasure, activate!...

Hearing his words, many in the crowd blush with shame, covering their faces and lowering their heads, unable to face others.

Then...

...

"Yes!"

Forgive His frankness, but those four guys are simply the lowest-end faith and vow power that has clouded their minds in recent years.

After sensing this strand of lamp light, the monster's struggle suddenly increases in intensity, and Ji Jingqiu continues without stopping, sending it into the opponent.

Three days later.

The Heart Flame Omnipotent Lamp's light blooms, like the arrival of the sun, and a shrill scream echoes, obviously more painful than being cut.

"Retreat quickly! That's the executioner of the Death Realm! Countless warriors of the same rank have died in his hands!"

Within the Inner World.

Above the pool, the divine glow flickers violently, like blazing fire, as if true fire is tempering the young man below.

It's as if there's something even He cannot pinpoint.

So he decides to remain humble and lower his self-rating.

The first path is the Physical Body Treasure.

She smiles lightly, taking the initiative to step forward, with divine light following her, and she strikes without hesitation! "So fierce and violent?" asks Jiang Tunhai from the Hunting God Company, but without a trace of fear, his eyes filled with burning fighting spirit.

It means that in the True Seed Realm, he has surpassed his limits and reached his true end.

He sits cross-legged at the bottom of the pool, motionless, his blood flowing like a river, making a rumbling sound. His skin, already spotless, becomes even more translucent.

At this step, he feels a sense of "saturation" from his subconscious, a feeling that comes from his true self.

How is that possible?

Some warriors, like Ji Jingqiu, try to further advance in the True Seed Realm.

At the end of the second stele, Ji Jingqiu's name slowly appears.

Behind him, a pile of corpses and bones lies, most of them burned to remains.

Ji Jingqiu is somewhat surprised, his mind returning to the Inner World.

The most crucial breakthrough this time is the opening of the Divine Treasure, simultaneously drawing from two systems, allowing him to take a new step forward in the True Seed Realm, advancing further.

Ji Jingqiu immerses himself in the pool, his pores expanding, guiding the source energy from the pool into his body with his mental power, quickly entering a state similar to fetal breathing.

For Ji Jingqiu, who has already ignited his heart fire before entering the martial path, this realm has no barriers from the start.

When he walks out of the cave.

He enters the Divine Journey Realm.
