Chapter 222: Leading by Virtue, Will the Ancient Road be in Chaos... (This Book has Reached a Million Words!)



Since the Sun Moon Alliance ascended to the top of the Ancient Road, there has been no more dispute in the Far East War Zone.

Almost all the forces possessing the Forbidden Sequence have taken sides with the Sun Moon Alliance.

However, there were some unexpected developments.

For instance, the Heavenly Deity Temple completely disbanded and vanished, leaving behind only small fry even if they were to be captured. On the day that Chi Ji's secondary body perished, the Forbidden Warrior, Suopo, also disappeared without a trace.

The Ancient Road is vast, with countless broken dimensions like grains of sand. It would be difficult to find a Forbidden Sequence expert if they truly wanted to hide.

This left Ji Jingqiu with some regret. He didn't intend to make things difficult for her; instead, he wanted to chat and learn more about Chi Ji.

During this period, the Sun Moon Alliance hosted several grand banquets, gathering the top experts, including almost all the Forbidden Sequences. They drank and rejoiced, discussing their martial arts and philosophies.

Ji Jingqiu had a sudden idea—

In the book, 169, what is the difference between the various versions?

The Embodied Body Technique, in simple terms, is a cultivation method relying on Cosmic Retribution. One makes a grand vow, gathers vow power, and then adheres to the vow through their actions, mindset, and other aspects, continuously aligning with a certain Great Dao, the natural order of the universe. In this process, they draw closer to the Great Dao, eventually embodying it and controlling its power.

Ji Jingqiu began cultivating the Divine Perception, the final step in the Divine Roaming Realm.

Half a month ago, the Sun Moon Alliance established their dominance over the Ancient Road, suppressing all other factions.

Indeed, the good days seemed to be coming to an end.

Therefore, the strength of the Divine Perception directly affects the efficiency of his cultivation in the Shackles Realm.

His arrogance is merely a facade to others; in truth, he is humble and courteous, never looking down on anyone due to his own excellence.

For example, there was once a powerful cultivator who performed countless good deeds in his lifetime, accumulating immense merit in the unseen. Yet, when faced with the life-and-death catastrophe, he could not escape death. His merit was like a rootless duckweed, unable to save him or provide even a shred of assistance.

This divine statue was of the Second Divine Lord, sculpted in the image of an old man, his face etched with the marks of time, each wrinkle containing infinite wisdom.

As he underwent the transformation in the Divine Roaming Apex, his innate divine abilities also elevated, and the Mind Flame Omnipotent Lamp improved in certain aspects.

Ji Jingqiu sat down, facing this ancient will that seemed to span the heavens and earth.

Even now, he hasn't fully recovered.

If he guessed correctly, this might be related to the will of the Ancient Road.

This method is the "root," the means to transform merit into a foundation.

The idea of cultivating merit for a better life in the next life is nonsense; ordinary people rarely have such opportunities.

After several months, they finally managed to build a divine statue with great difficulty.

Over several gatherings, everyone exchanged martial insights, gaining much. These gatherings became a regular event, held at intervals.

Half a month later, the Sun Moon Alliance's benevolence benefited millions of cultivators, and this number continued to grow at an astonishing rate each day. They led by virtue, truly becoming the undisputed top power in the Far East War Zone, with their influence spreading far and wide.

On this day,

Some yearned to join them, while others harbored enmity and wariness, unwilling to associate with them.

However, as the Dark Sea's invasion and the encroaching mysterious fog intensified, this situation was quickly suppressed and contained.

Subsequently, Ji Jingqiu spent several days studying and, with the help of the Wisdom Light's supreme wisdom, decided to attempt cultivating the Divine Perception.

Gazing at the guardian deity enduring the bitter sea and bloody rain in their cultivation,

On the contrary, he felt he was being too magnanimous, his compassion overflowing.

Cultivating this method requires utmost caution.

Ji Jingqiu's expression stirred, recalling some of Old Ape's memories.

Anyone could freely receive a Heart Lamp Seed in the cities governed by the Sun Moon Alliance and its allied forces, using it to resist the mysterious fog and freely traverse the Ancient Road.

The Sun Moon Alliance's dimension.

The so-called "core layer" refers to the "disciples of the sect," specifically the Nine Palaces disciples and the Crystal Clan's people in the Sun Moon Alliance.

Ji Jingqiu understood this method as a form of "borrowing."

They thrive on conflicts among various forces, preferably to the point of breaking heads, so they can fish in troubled waters and seize benefits.

This person purely views others as scum, inherently arrogant, loyal to his own heart, and never looking up to anyone due to their excellence.

His first thought was of Yama Continent.

The Second Divine Lord had witnessed the suffering and hardships endured by countless beings in the mortal world. He pitied the myriad creatures struggling for survival, only to be swept away by the currents of fate. He further pitied this world of red dust, like a fiery prison, trapping countless lives, preventing their transcendence...

"Divine Son, the ceremony is ready," a Four Gods Church cultivator suddenly rushed in to report.

Countless powerful cultivators have used the Dark Sea as a path, entering the Imperial Heaven City to plunder the cosmic creation and countless lives! Does "returning to the Grand Universe" refer to going back to the Grand Universe in the future? Ji Jingqiu pondered.

Only a small portion of cultivators possessed the Third Generation Heart Lamp, let alone the Fourth Generation Heart Lamp. For example, the North Merchant Alliance, which once joined forces with foreign tribes to surround and kill him.

But with the invasion of the Dark Sea's mysterious fog, this unstable alliance immediately collapsed, and they even worried about being betrayed.

As for their Four Gods Church...

Gazing at the towering divine statue before him, Xuan Yu Wei took a deep breath.

Deep within this land, a hazy, ancient shadow sat in meditation, inviting Ji Jingqiu to sit opposite.

Just a moment, I need to eat...

With a "master" presiding, the atmosphere remained stable.

In the end, only he was left to deal with Kun Qian Zhou's temper and clean up the mess?

Firstly, the Third Generation Heart Lamp also possesses the ability to separate the Heart Lamp Seed, which is the foundation for the Fourth Generation Heart Lamp.

[You've seen them in the Hanging Temple's inheritance memory, and you will meet them again in the future.]



Even Ji Jingqiu, in Chi Ji's eyes, was merely "qualified to repay the karma of his sect's elders."

For some solitary cultivators, they don't welcome the rise of a unified power over the Ancient Road.

During this half-month,

However, it's unrealistic to rely solely on a grand vow to ascend directly, attain the supreme fruit position, and then repay the vow.

Who knows how many will rise today, and how many will report it!

Xuan Yu Wei's expression turned solemn. This was their last chance; they must seek a divine decree from the Divine Lord, hoping for a better future.

Since that night, the temple they built in the central city collapsed, the divine statues shattered, and even the accumulated faith and vow power were drained by the manifested Divine Lord.

Initially, they could still secretly cause trouble for the Sun Moon Alliance by allying with certain forces.

(Chapter End)

In borrowing, one's own self is the borrower, and the lender is the universe, with one's grand aspirations serving as collateral.

However, the third generation of Heart Lamps is no longer without cost, as they are derived from the previous generations.

When the Ancient Road enters its second phase, the Dark Sea of Three Thousand Yama Floats will link with the Ancient Road. At that time, all followers of the Four Deity Church can depart through the Ancient Road, with someone to receive them.

As far as he knows, the Dark Sea was not originally called Yama, but "Yuzhou." It was only after the third Divine Lord, the legendary "Buddha," took over that it was renamed the Dark Sea.

Why has the Dark Sea's invasion suddenly intensified to this extent? Ever since Ji Jingqiu destroyed Kun Qian Zhou and suppressed the Ten Thousand Phenomena Kingdom, Unworry Heaven, and other forces, the days of the Four Deity Church have only gotten worse.

This is not a path to instant success.

To be honest, this person is a bit "crazy," and he is not the same kind of person at all.

Countless followers and warriors of the Four Deity Church are sitting in meditation behind him, solemn and silent, praying together for the descent of the Divine Lord's supreme power.

Initially, there was controversy within the Four Deity Church regarding the choice of the divine statue.

In the Dragon and Tiger Daoist Canon he once studied, the central vortex was mentioned as the upper dantian, also known as the Niwan, or "Yuan Shen Mansion."

In the abyss of ten deaths and no life, you are adapting to the profession of a Machine Gunner.

After realizing that he can sense the location of the inner world and retreat at any time, Ji Jingqiu heaves a slight sigh of relief and develops an urge to explore.

His eyes are filled with sorrow and compassion, as if pitying the suffering of all sentient beings, the struggle of all spirits, and the world like a prison.

Linking the cultivation of divine perception with the refinement of the central vortex is an interesting and unprecedented attempt.

"This Embodied Body technique is too ordinary and common. It's definitely not the method that Mu Shitiantian practiced in the past."

However, to move freely on the Ancient Road, one must cultivate the Heart Lamps.

As Mu Aunt said, only by walking one's own path can one open up a unique path of immortality.

The evil body he encountered before was born from this person.

"The number of Heart Lamps has exceeded ten million, and the spread is getting faster and faster."

If it's possible...

"Initiating the Celestial Palace System, starting the Star Lord Navigation Module, and tactical route planning is complete."

"Activating the Southern Heavenly Gate Module, module adaptation successful. The Shadow Tactical Armor is activated, the runway is cleared, and the Xuan Nu Sky Fighter is being deployed."

Finally, the second Divine Lord makes a grand vow to help all spirits transcend and establish an eternal paradise for them to dwell in.

It is very weak, as if it has penetrated countless worlds, yet it still carries a sense of majesty and contains infinite divine might, falling into Xuan Youwei's body.

This step directly affects the cultivation of the Shackles Realm.

The hidden undercurrents in the water are unstoppable.

The third generation of Heart Lamps is controlled by the Sun Moon Alliance and the core layers of the alliance's forces.

However, according to the Federation's martial arts system, to refine the central vortex and open the mind's secret treasury, one must either break through the mind form or comprehend the wonder of fetal breathing.

Ji Jingqiu receives news that all sacred sites in the Far East War Zone have been activated, and various forces have entered the competition.

Moreover, borrowing money from the bank is not as bad as borrowing from the universe. At worst, one might lose their house and ruin their credit, but at least they won't die.

Ji Jingqiu observes carefully but cannot see through this person's true nature. On the surface of their body, some areas are stained with pitch-black filth.

I really envy that guy, Shen Mengjing...

"The invasion of the Dark Sea on the Ancient Road is so severe. I wonder how the Nine Continents are doing now."

He shares this thought with Hera, who tells him that among the three secret treasuries, the mind's secret treasury is located at the central vortex.

She turns around and, led by a warrior, arrives at the place of sacrifice.

Just like the War Buddha in the Heaven Hanging Temple, although its power is awe-inspiring, with the Great Tribulation, the Heaven Hanging Temple was destroyed, and its cultivation and fruition also vanished into thin air.

"The Dark Sea of Three Thousand Yama Floats?" Ji Jingqiu is astonished.

This is not his small-mindedness.

Even warriors with sinister intentions are wary of the Heart Lamps within their bodies, thinking that this might be a "trick" of the Sun Moon Alliance, which could possibly be used to track and lock onto their actions.

Currently, the Heart Lamp seeds spread to the outside world are all fourth-generation seeds, which do not have the ability to derive and can barely ignore the invasion of mysterious fog.

Xuan Youwei suddenly regrets it.

This painting has exceeded his ability to perceive concretely, and he can only sense a general idea.

Before the rise of the Sun Moon Alliance, they were already unable to control a neutral city and were forced to leave.

So some grand vows are not recognized by the universe!

After Ji Jingqiu finishes studying this Embodied Body technique, from his perspective, he glances at Hera and suddenly speaks.

After listening to Hera's words, Ji Jingqiu recalls Chi Ji's words and actions.

In the doctrine of the Four Deity Church—

Here and now, she is in charge! Standing before the divine statue, Xuan Youwei slowly enters a meditative state, gathering the power of faith and vows during this time, attempting to communicate with the great and mighty divine consciousness of the second Divine Lord.

During this time, through various attempts, he initially grasps this divine ability.

As expected, this person is the manifestation of the will of the Ancient Road and the condensation of the residual consciousness of the Imperial Heaven deities.

In Hera's words, no matter how many virtues one has, they are still intangible and illusory in the mysterious realm, and if they cannot be condensed into a tangible form, they are useless.

Although she is the second Divine Son, she does not intend to use herself as a sacrificial offering.

Ji Jingqiu is shocked. Is it Hero General? Is this the incident that Mu Aunt mentioned, the one that Hero General once encountered? "According to the rules and procedures, the first sequence has the highest exemption and qualification in the Imperial Heaven Ancient Road. Therefore, I remind you that the Dark Sea is invading, and the Dark Sea of Three Thousand Yama Floats may be the trial ground in this era. You should prepare for battle."

The reason for the sudden intensification of the Dark Sea's invasion is that the Sun Moon Alliance suddenly declared to the entire Ancient Road—

Life is not easy, and Youwei sighs.

The second Divine Son of the Four Deity Church, Xuan Youwei, looks at the mysterious fog that has enveloped the deep layers of the world, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The true elites are all second-generation Heart Lamp holders.

He estimates that if he continues, this black and white lotus seed might one day bloom into a virtue golden lotus.

69 Book Bar

Therefore, everyone can only grumble about the Sun Moon Alliance's domineering and bullying in private.

Are the two related?

"The Supreme Lord Laozi Supercomputing System begins to intervene, activating the computing cluster and starting to gather information-based bombs."

Ji Jingqiu temporarily refrains from further thought. He is currently unable to truly cultivate the Embodied Body technique, and just the choice of a grand vow is giving him a headache.

According to the heritage of the Hanging Temple, the one who governs and oversees this Ancient Road is the will of the Ancient Road itself.

And now, everyone gives Ji Jingqiu some face, relatively restraining themselves, and the atmosphere becomes stable.

Suddenly, she had an epiphany. Could it be that the Divine Dream Whale's apparent expulsion by Kun Qian Zhou was a matter of going with the flow?

Most of the familiar people, including those from the Flame Radiant Federation, were second-generation Heart Lamp practitioners.

When Ji Jingqiu reached the top of the Far East War Zone, suppressing the geniuses of various tribes, their lives became even more difficult.

Xuan Youwei clenched his teeth, feeling a sense of powerlessness and anger as if facing corrupt officials and petty clerks, leaving the common people with nowhere to turn.

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself, feeling the Heart Lamps like stars, shining and fading away.

At this rate of invasion, they probably wouldn't even have left the Ancient Road before eighty percent of the planar worlds would fall, becoming forbidden zones.

Kun Qian Zhou insisted on creating the Fourth Divine Lord statue, believing he could receive divine grace again.

The construction of the Heaven's Awakening Fortress began, marking the start of building a sci-fi heavenly court.

This cultivation method was quite unconventional, with an extremely high level of physical tempering. However, the drawback was that it came at the cost of divine essence, making long-term residence impossible.

But with things having come to this point, there was no choice but to move forward without regret.

However, considering his past as a semi-disabled person, Xuan Youwei directly ignored his insistence.

The birth of this lotus seed was not just about spreading the Heart Lamps. The most crucial aspect was obtaining Chi Ji's Embodied Body Technique.

In this atmosphere, the status of the Sun Moon Alliance became increasingly stable, and their influence on the Ancient Road grew stronger with each passing day.

Whether it was Chi Ji or Yue Yourong's Heavenly Body, they both ultimately nurtured a divine being in their central vortex, which Ji Jingqiu thought he could emulate.

A wavering will descended upon them.

This book has reached a million words! These two chapters are definitely laying the groundwork for the upcoming chapters, where the protagonist will mow down countless foes on the Ancient Road.

The warriors below were fine, as there was no risk of them being recognized.

At this stage, whether the Ancient Road was in chaos or not was entirely up to the Sun Moon Alliance.

So, Ji Jingqiu passed on this cultivation method to his guardian deity, allowing him to see if he could comprehend anything from it. The latter received it with great solemnity and returned to his cultivation.

Xuan Youwei didn't want to invoke a deity at this time.

This Embodied Body Technique had no hope of transcendence. It was merely a way of achieving enlightenment by borrowing the power of heaven and earth, another unconventional path to divinity.

Additionally, he was researching the opening of the Mind Spirit Divine Treasury at the central vortex.

"What do you mean?" Ji Jingqiu asked in confusion.

He wasn't sure if there was a similar underlying principle at work.

After all, Kun Qian Zhou's past mistakes were still fresh in his memory.

Ji Jingqiu thought back to when he had contemplated the Fire Mansion Buddha Hell, and the blood rain seemed to truly pour onto his body, tempering his physique.

In a wilderness filled with radiation and hidden dangers, you are adapting to the Scavenger profession.

The Shackles Realm, as the name suggests, unlocks the shackles of the human body. However, only Divine Perception can discern the essence of these shackles.

But on the other hand, people like this, though unwelcome, usually keep their word and are proud, not allowing themselves to deceive someone they consider inferior. So, there's no need to worry about them lying.

The Ancient Road is vast. What's the harm in offending someone? I can just find a planar world to hide in. Can they really search for me for the rest of their lives?

Suddenly...

...

"So you can be considered the second person, or even the third."

The Divine Lord spoke:

"In this era, among those who have stepped into the first stage and entered the first sequence, you are the third. You can also be considered the second."

As his mind calmed, a dignified, emotionless voice resonated within him.

With over ten million Heart Lamps spread, Ji Jingqiu, as the source of the Heart Lamps, had his greatest reward—a lotus seed in the Virtue Pool of his Inner World.

Only by transcending everything can one overlook the cycle of creation and destruction and remain unaffected by the great tribulation.

Xuan Youwei, out of caution, ultimately chose the Second Divine Lord.

In this regard, the Federation Martial Arts has done a good job, eventually leading to the cultivation and exploration of the Inner World.

With his current Spirit Energy constantly present, akin to a state of unity with heaven and humanity, a mystic realm. It's not fair to call it a watered-down version of Fetal Breath, as ordinary people need to comprehend the wonder of Fetal Breath to open the Mind Spirit Divine Treasury. With his extraordinary wisdom, can he not lower the threshold?

This is a blatant scheme!

In Hera's opinion, this Embodied Body Technique was too conventional, with many restrictions and limited growth. It lacked the surprise and delight she had hoped for.

On this day, the Ancient Road mark on his back produced a scorching sensation, guiding his mind to a mysterious realm.

"Ten thousand years ago, the current second-ranked warrior on the Ten Thousand Year Monument ventured on his own invincible path. However, because he didn't break through the extreme realm before stepping on the Ancient Road, even with his later rise, he was bound by the rules and couldn't enter the first sequence."

Xuan Youwei opened his eyes, receiving the revelation of the Second Divine Lord, but his expression was uncertain.

...

The lotus seed was woven with black and white, filled with virtue energy, transforming the entire Virtue Pool, evolving it into the legendary Eight Treasures Virtue Pool.

—On the other hand, the lotuses in the Virtue Pool have gradually increased. Originally, they nurtured the Sutra World and the Buddha Palm, and now they are nurturing the War Buddha and the Great Cataclysm Zen Mind, blooming a double lotus.

In the Old Ape's memory, the great tribulation was about to begin, and everywhere was filled with calamity. It wasn't just internal strife but also invasions from outside.

In Hera's words, only by cultivating oneself is there hope for transcendence.

Doomsday beasts descended, and Jiang Sheng stood atop the Sky Fortress, as numerous mechas rapidly took off.

As for the specifics, whether it was something that he and Hera couldn't fathom about this technique, or something else, only time would tell.

Heaven and Earth will judge whether you have the qualifications and virtue to fulfill such a grand aspiration.

Even if one strictly adheres to their grand vision and follows the corresponding principles of the Dao, what's the point if the great tribulation is about to begin, and the entire grand universe is about to be destroyed? Without heaven and earth, how can the Dao survive?

Moreover, with this virtue golden lotus still in its seed stage, he anticipated the day when the lotuses would fill the entire Eight Treasures Virtue Pool.

From this point on, from Mechanic Engineers to Mecha Engineers, Judges, and Light Guards.

Nurturing Divine Perception is a delicate process that can't be rushed.

Such a grand aspiration is not something one person can bear alone.

This question left Hera somewhat perplexed.

If it were in the past, she might have already said something like, "What are you looking at?"

During this time, some underground forces even colluded, targeting the Sun Moon Alliance.

As for them, the high-ranking officials, their wanted posters were already plastered all over the neutral cities.

"The deployment of thirty-three layers of heaven-grade weapons is complete, and we are proceeding at full speed."

"The Hao Emperor-grade destruction weapon is charging, and the target is locked."

"See that? This is technology, this is strength, this is the light of humanity!"

"Fortunately, technology is in the hands of civilization." "The air of Huaxia is sweet!" "Where are the monks? Save us!"
