Chapter 216: One Step, One Forbidden

Chapter 216: One Step, One Forbidden

What does the Buddhist sect have the most of?

The answer is Guardian Deities.

Witnessing Leng Yuexin and Sheng Ya bowing their heads in defeat deeply shocked everyone. The surrounding martial artists were in an uproar, feeling as if the sky had fallen, and even the thought of fleeing had almost completely dissipated.

Because it was no longer meaningful.

If these martial artists wanted to kill them, no matter where they fled, they would not escape death.

The two Forbidden Sequence beings had not exchanged a single move, and such shocking news was rarely heard in history. Every time it appeared, someone would inevitably charge into the Ten Thousand Year Monument and reach the top thirty! The last time was ten thousand years ago, when the Ten Thousand Year Monument underwent a major reshuffle.

This time...

Everyone looked at Ji Jingqiu with their hearts pounding. They were not only shocked but also had a hint of anticipation, an expectation to witness history, and even a sense of pride.

Ji Jingqiu did not continue to subdue Leng Yuexin with the first move, the Buddha Palm. Firstly, this woman had voluntarily proposed signing a contract, and secondly, such behavior was quite adventurous and was the most primitive clash of wills, especially in the battlefield of another's heart.

His previous palm strike had succeeded due to the momentum of his return, and this palm naturally resonated with the heavens and earth, far surpassing the norm. It left him with an endless aftertaste, subtly capturing a certain subtlety.

In a, 6, 1, 9? A book, a look, a mistake, a version, a percent, an exclamation mark.

He did not come here for these few people.

The next moment, the stone statue came to life, taking a step out from the mountain wall. Its body was shriveled, and the most peculiar thing was that half of its body was flesh and blood, while the other half was stone, as if some transformation was not yet complete, leaving it unfinished.

Sheng Ya and Leng Yuexin followed behind, confirming their previous guess. This person had indeed obtained the inheritance of the Hanging Holy Site, which explained his familiarity with this place.

Ji Jingqiu spoke no more and took another step forward, killing his way to the two. His eyes were like lightning, and combined with the might of his palm strike that had just subdued the youth with the bow, he seized the initiative and suppressed their auras, leaving them momentarily breathless.

"In heaven and earth, I alone am supreme!"

The sound of the sword ringing was crisp and clear, and a bright white light appeared. The sword light was astonishing, causing the two to feel a stinging sensation in their eyes, and their minds instantly lost track of the sword's trajectory.

The stone statue's expression suddenly turned hideous: "You are the Hanging Heir chosen by that old ape?! No wonder you've been heading straight for me!"

It clasped its hands together, its eyes filled with regret, and it sighed lightly, still maintaining a benevolent and compassionate expression, but it gave off a strange sense of evil.

"Not bad, but unfortunately, she managed to escape using her life-preserving means." The youth with the bow sighed, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so much trouble now."

At this moment, it was as if a force from the void had bound Ji Jingqiu, preventing him from escaping. However, he remained calm. Behind him, a bright moon appeared at the intersection of the water and sky, and the Water Moon Realm enveloped the four directions, breaking free of the binding.

He had neither merit nor power, nor the strength to match the name of a god-Buddha.

It wanted to move, but found its body heavy, not just due to the suppression of the heavenly forces, but also...

All living beings have the desire to survive and strive in the heavens and earth.

In front of them was a vast marshland, surrounded by mist. Sheng Ya spoke up to remind them.

The Great Thunder Zen Mind was more of a mental power than a secret technique of the Dao heart. It was used to suppress the mind, neither increasing nor decreasing, allowing him to control the incomplete first move of the Buddha Palm.

Sheng Ya, standing behind, remained silent, while Leng Yuexin gave him a subtle look of sympathy.

Ji Jingqiu commented briefly after his palm strike, his breath still deep and restrained. He brushed past the youth with the bow and headed towards the two in front who had turned pale.

The old ape had called him "My Buddha," but he dared not assume such a title.

"Hmm?" The youth with the bow raised his eyebrows, seemingly not expecting that Ji Jingqiu, who had been captured by Sheng Ya and Leng Yuexin, would dare to take action here!

He did not retreat but advanced, laughing loudly with confidence and arrogance. He countered with a palm strike, and although he was most skilled with the bow, as a Forbidden Sequence being, he had no weaknesses.

6, 9, Book, Bar

It was merely a combination of the Water Moon Realm and the Bhrama World, not forcibly moving the inner heavens to influence the outer heavens and gather the power of the Dao field.

When someone rises, others naturally fall in the rankings.

"So, you're the one chasing after Qin Qingjue and the others?" Ji Jingqiu's gaze swept over the large bow, a rare weapon in the Federation.

But the next moment, he discovered that the other's palm strike, which seemed calm and relaxed, also contained an indescribable subtlety.

Anger flashed in the stone statue's eyes, blazing intensely. Just as it was about to say something, Ji Jingqiu's palm strike suppressed it, and he sighed lightly, "Don't linger."

This guy's body was exceptionally strong, half flesh and half stone. Ji Jingqiu chose to abandon his knife and use his palm, employing the Great Thunder Zen Mind to control the Buddha Palm.

"Dao Field?!"

During the journey.

It was shocked, for although he was only a divided soul here, its main body had observed the hundred pulses of the Royal Heaven and witnessed countless talents in various worlds, yet it had never seen this palm technique before.

The next moment.

"Good courage!"

The altar, which had been repaired for many days, now showed cracks. With just one step forward, this originally shriveled body, with skin as dry as wood, instantly inflated like a balloon. The withered skin flashed with the brilliance of ivory, and every inch of its body was filled with dazzling golden light.

Furthermore, Ji Jingqiu had left a mental imprint in Sheng Ya's heart using the Buddha Palm. The combination of these two factors made Ji Jingqiu a half-faith, or rather, a god, to Sheng Ya. "It's fine."

This palm strike had borrowed the power of heaven and earth, and with the blessing of the Hanging Plane, it evolved into a wondrous scene.

Leng Yuexin and the others were shocked. They had been here for many days, yet they had never seen this person.

Especially the old ape's final gift, that Bodhi tree planted in the Royal Heaven Universe.

Such a scene would undoubtedly occur in the Great Universe, and perhaps even more so.

Ji Jingqiu sheathed his knife and stood there, his aura of invincibility already etched into his bones. He said:

His pupils constricted, and every hair on his body stood on end. An unprecedented terror gripped him, and he roared, his entire body suddenly glowing. Every inch of his body seemed to contain the power of lawful runes, and he unleashed his full strength, trying to force Ji Jingqiu back.

How many more "strange" methods did this guy have, that even this being, whose essence was akin to the mist of the Dark Sea, could ignore?

[For me, a great calamity is just a blink of an eye, but for you, it is still too early. Instead of lamenting, think about how to improve yourself.]



This thought had only ever crossed Leng Yuexin's mind in her dreams.

In the top thirty, and even the top ten, are anomalies among anomalies, beyond the scope of comprehension. No one can fathom the realm they have reached.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head slightly. The target ahead was not far, and he didn't think further. "Your Highness, there's mist ahead, and we need to protect ourselves with secret methods."

After confirming the subjugation of the two, Ji Jingqiu continued forward, walking towards the altar at the front under the doubtful gazes of the crowd.

La Jiang's words held a hint of aggression, but Ji Jingqiu felt they were not wrong.

In an instant, the sound of the waves was like thunder, and a round moon moved, pressing down and suppressing all enemies. The immobilization and confinement of this power far exceeded the immobilization divination of the previous person.

Without a word, his black hair danced in the air, and radiant light emanated from his skin. His gaze was profound, and his determination soared infinitely, as if he had touched the heavenly will. At this moment, he embodied heaven, carrying the great trend to kill! Everyone changed color, sensing the terrifying power of heaven and earth that Ji Jingqiu was wielding.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze deepened. At this moment, he exerted his full strength, and radiant light burst from his skin, forming an aura that enveloped him. This was the second layer of the Divine Treasury, a divine anomaly, allowing him to evolve his inner world to the extreme at this moment!

"The pressure is increasing..."

After witnessing Ji Jingqiu's consecutive defeats of three people—

However, in fact, it was already an extraordinary achievement for one person to break into the top hundred in generations, enough to surpass their contemporaries.

The two men's eyes were cold, their energy surging, and they stood in a triangular formation, able to support each other. Their gazes were fixed on Shengya and Leng Yuexin behind them.

With this slash, it was still filled with a sense of supremacy, but the flavor was completely different from the previous palm strike! The domineering blade light instantly reached its target, shattering the faint golden golden body on the previous person's body, causing him to cough blood and retreat, his face turning pale.

"Shengya, who is he?!"

Leng Yuexin's face changed, almost taking a step into the forbidden realm!

The two of them could clearly see that this person was not captured by Shengya and Leng Yuexin!

Although the latter still stood in his original position, in the perception of the crowd, he was already lifeless!

"You see the world's splendor in your dreams, but a single thought of attachment makes it empty."

Ji Jingqiu scanned the crowd with fearful eyes and pointed again at the martial artist he had brought from the gate. This person was still very "obedient," gathering so many people, including two from the Forbidden Sequence.

Unlike the annihilation he had witnessed before, this was a tragic scene that occurred in the mortal world.

"At your level, if Qin Qingjue's transformation is equal to yours, you shouldn't have any difficulty in defeating him."

The crowd's eyes shook. This was against the rules of nature, at least the realm of Heartmirror, or even the Celestial Beings!

Who was it? It seemed to be that old ape, and also seemed to be those few Heavenly Venerables...

He hadn't used his inner world before, saving it for this moment to kill this enemy!

In the eyes of the four behind him.

On the contrary, the latter two were suppressed by this person, betraying them and becoming guides! "Who are you?!" a young man with a heavenly eye mark on his forehead roared.

The man with the heavenly eye mark on his forehead was furious, forcing his eyes open, revealing bloodstains. However, his mental power spread like ripples, manipulating the lawful principles to use a immobilization divination, restricting Ji Jingqiu's actions. The other person's body suddenly grew taller, his muscles knotting, reaching a height of several zhang. He looked down at Ji Jingqiu, and a faint golden light appeared on his body, symbolizing the ultimate realm of body refinement. Like an indestructible body, he seized the opportunity created by his companion and unleashed a full-power attack on Ji Jingqiu.

The greatest gain from this experience was witnessing the true appearance of the world before the great calamity.

He smiled bitterly, "Is there a chance to surrender?"

The reason he was subdued by a single palm was the defeat of his martial arts will, and part of the root cause was his country and faith.

"What is the Bodhi tree? Is it the true self? Or is it the Tathagata's treasury? The Alaya consciousness?" Ji Jingqiu asked in his heart, questioning himself.

【Should I borrow the achievement of the Great Achievement 'Piguadao Fa'? By borrowing the future result, swinging the sword five thousand times can be attributed to oneself.】

A palm filled with a sense of supremacy fell, and an explosion sounded within the body of the youth with the bow.

However, he lost the initiative, and that hand still landed on his forehead.

She took a deep breath and whispered, "He's really about to become invincible. If he maintains this, there will be another earth-shattering change in the Ten Thousand Year Monument rankings this generation..."

Everything in the world, from grass to trees, is in a state of struggle.

In an instant, the brilliant golden body dimmed! "What kind of palm technique is this?!"

After witnessing Qiao Xuan's defeat, the two men's hearts sank. Even if Qiao Xuan had been careless and underestimated his opponent, he shouldn't have been killed by a single palm unless the opponent's strength far surpassed their level.

On the mountain wall, there was a recessed area where a stone-carved Buddha statue sat, seemingly weathered by the wind and rain over the years. Its surface was pitted and scarred, but its face still showed a hint of kindness and compassion.

Ji Jingqiu moved.

The three had already turned their gazes towards him. If they hadn't seen Shengya and Leng Yuexin behind Ji Jingqiu, they would have attacked him at the first opportunity.

At this moment.

The stone statue looked at her and smiled, "Thank you, patrons, for your help these days. On the day I achieve enlightenment, I will definitely support you and make you my disciples."

"You lead them to find my people in the mountains," Ji Jingqiu said.

Ji Jingqiu nodded and took a step forward, extending his hand and lightly patting out a palm.

"The Unfathomable Heavenly Venerable, if the patron had come a few days later, it would have been fate."

In a thousandth of a moment, a palm fell! Its face was hideous, firmly believing in its unbreakable body, even if it hadn't reached perfection. It was convinced that it wasn't something a divine wanderer like Ji Jingqiu could defeat! As this palm covered it, it seemed to hear a very familiar sigh in its ear, and it seemed to see a pair of cold eyes like those of a god-demon,

"I hold a compassionate heart, and I subdue without killing."

Crack—

"You two actually betrayed the alliance?!"

Ji Jingqiu recalled his gains from the Hanging Temple and whispered to himself:

A thousand years ago, the name Wan Chengcang once dominated the heavenly kingdom, and the Water Moon Realm crushed countless celestial beings and demigods.

"Master Mu?" Cold Moon Heart couldn't help but exclaim.

The latter, whose face was ashen, suddenly came to life upon hearing these words, as if he had been reborn in that moment. He hurriedly turned and gathered everyone together.

He unleashed his power, catching the long blade with his palm, and howled:

It was just... a single palm strike?!

Ji Jingqiu's body radiated a scorching spiritual light like the sun, dispelling the mist around them and revealing the true appearance of the place, along with three tall figures standing amidst the fog.

But the old ape treated him with utmost respect, even offering a deep bow. Was it merely because of his connection to the World Venerable lineage?

Ji Jingqiu didn't turn back, taking a step into the marsh. A radiant light resembling the sun emanated from his body, making him appear like a walking sun in the mortal realm.

To be able to enter the Forbidden Sequence, even those who had stepped onto the Ancient Path, who among them didn't have some ambition, vying for a ranking on the Ten Thousand Year Monument?

"You two, follow me." Ji Jingqiu called out to Cold Moon Heart and Shengya, taking the lead and heading in the direction from which they had come.

Unbeknownst to them, that hand had already stopped at his forehead.

"You two, this is the warrior you captured from the Flameglory Alliance? Haha, seems like he has some skills. This secret technique is quite impressive. You can try to make him hand it over."

Azure Lord unsheathed his sword.

Something within his mind detonated, triggered by that sigh, stirring up numerous heart demons. Both his body and mind were trapped, unable to escape.

The young man smiled and suggested.

At this moment, Shengya was in a state of "transcendence," having been scolded by Ji Jingqiu with the principle of "sole supremacy." His mind was still immersed in some kind of enlightenment, so he appeared exceptionally calm, indifferent to everything.

What he could associate with was the Bodhi tree and the wisdom light it contained.

At this moment, the others realized they were dealing with a formidable opponent. Just then,

Using their Qi, they swiftly traversed the marsh, arriving at its depths before an altar.

A man stepped forward, carrying a large bow on his back, his sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes glancing at Ji Jingqiu. He said:

Ji Jingqiu was the chosen Divine Son of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Divine Lord, but a Divine Son was not a god. The tradition of the Ten Thousand Phenomena Heaven was that the strong ruled over the weak.

The Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to be in a state of prosperity, with its flames burning brightly and flowers blooming in splendor. However, beneath this facade lay hidden countless demons and ghosts wreaking havoc. In this precarious dynasty, Zheng Jun only sought a peaceful life, practicing martial arts and managing his family affairs. Fortunately, within his Dantian and Qi Sea, there existed the Great Dao Martial Scripture, allowing him to borrow the fruit of the future and acquire the Great Achievement Martial Arts with a mere snap of his fingers.

Each word seemed to extinguish his life force!

They dared not hold back! This might be the most powerful enemy they would ever face! Any hesitation would lead to certain death!

Standing behind them, Shengya's expression remained calm. Only when he saw the Water Moon Dharmic Field did his face show a momentary daze, followed by reverence and aspiration.

In the horrified gazes of the others,

Ji Jingqiu seemed like an incarnate god-Buddha, his palm gently caressing the stone statue's head. The statue, beyond its control, knelt down as if paying homage to a true Buddha. Its expression became dazed, and finally, it revealed a bizarre smile of liberation.

It burned its own soul to break free from the momentary restraint, snarling, "My true self awaits you at the end of the road!"

The blade and palm clashed, emitting a metallic sound. With Ji Jingqiu's current strength, the opponent's golden body was indeed terrifying! A figure emerged from his forehead, rushing towards Ji Jingqiu.

Before Ji Jingqiu could strike again, the man with the vertical mark on his forehead and blood flowing from his seven orifices had suffered a significant loss in the previous mental confrontation.

At the end of the altar stood a mountain wall, shrouded in mist, which was now dispersed by the Mind Flame Omnipotent Lamp, revealing its true appearance.

Cold Moon Heart and the others were shocked. When did a divine statue appear here?!

This scene didn't stir much emotion in Shengya's eyes, as if it were only natural. But to Cold Moon Heart, it was so terrifying that he felt numb.

At this moment, he calmly asked, but in the eyes of the other party, this calmness was like a lifeless ash.

"Oh right, perhaps we can use him as bait to lure out Qin Qingjue and the others. Qin Qingjue is weakened, having taken my arrow, and his strength is now only seven or eight-tenths of what it used to be. Any one of us can take him down."]



After being subdued by Ji Jingqiu's palm, Shengya realized the insurmountable gap between them, completely abandoning the idea of vying for the Divine Son position. Instead, he transferred part of his faith to Ji Jingqiu.]



He didn't believe that the old ape, who had transformed into a War Buddha, would be so "old-fashioned." There must be something he had seen or sensed in Ji Jingqiu that made him act this way.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other man with the shattered golden body spit out another mouthful of blood.

Just then, the stone statue, which had been lifeless, suddenly gained a fleshy, delicate substance, completely defying the rules of logic.

The sound of the Zen bell echoed, and golden Bodhi flowers grew in the void, taking root on the man's golden body.

Facing the final great calamity, various races and forces vied for the opportunity to transcend the tribulation, consuming all kinds of heavenly medicines. They fought for the future path, willing to raise their weapons and slaughter the world for a mere glimmer of hope...

The stone statue began to disintegrate from its forehead, inch by inch, exploding into countless cracks and scattering into dust! Zheng Jun, who had traveled through time to the Great Zhou Dynasty, was a mere county servant, struggling to survive by the tip of his sword.

Hela didn't respond, as she too was pondering what she had witnessed that day.

It was as if a thunderous explosion had sounded.

Among them, Miao Zhongyang's face changed, as he also cultivated the Vajra Indestructible Body, exploring the potential of his physical body.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, "Our fate is not yet over. When the time comes, I will guide you through the sea of suffering and grant you liberation."

"Today, I will kill you and claim the legacy, proving my immortal body!"]



[Do you want to prepay for the Great Achievement 'Iron Sand Demon Subduing Skill'? By borrowing the fruit of the future, you can refine your body a hundred times and make it your own.]



[...

From the [Hanging Monastery Sword Technique] to the [Sunlight Shining Dragon Subduing Sword Skill], from the [Iron Sand Demon Subduing Skill] to the [Golden Vajra Indestructible Body].

From the county servant's rise to the Great Achievement, reversing cause and effect, facing all enemies, proving the Longevity and Eternal Vision Dao, and becoming the True Martial Form Dao Lord!

Many years later, Zheng Jun held his sword and marched forward. Suddenly, he turned back, realizing that the talents of the past were nothing compared to him. He was the one who would unify the world!
