Chapter 229: The Dao's Simplicity, a Familiar Palm Technique

Chapter 229: The Dao's Simplicity, a Familiar Palm Technique

Sovereign of the Heavenly Realm?

"Is there any practical significance to it?" Ji Jingqiu cautiously asked.

He pondered, wondering if the current Ancient Path's first disciple had also obtained this title and how they were faring now.

[Of course, this is not just an empty title, but also a potential position. One day, when you grow up, you can command the Hundred Channels of the Heavenly Realm with this title.]



Ji Jingqiu felt like wiping his sweat.

He had no other intentions; he was purely curious about where he could command the Hundred Channels of the Heavenly Realm...

He politely asked, "I'm a little curious. What height has the current first disciple of the Ten Thousand Year Monument reached?"

[He's dead.]



They had expected a three-on-two battle, and not only in terms of numbers, but they would also have the advantage in terms of warrior quantity.

In the Far East War Zone, they had planned for a three-on-two battle, and not only in numbers, but they would also have the advantage in terms of warrior quantity.

"May I ask, Senior, if I were to ascend the Ten Thousand Year Monument now, what level would I be at?" Ji Jingqiu asked again.

The crowd was stunned, some glared and left, never having been treated as sacrificial lambs before. Others took deep breaths, calmed down, and soothed the impulsive warriors around them, whispering words of restraint.

It seemed like a... seed? A seed that had transformed into a mustard seed, sealed within one of his body's acupoints.

Additionally, he felt that he could still slightly improve by one or two levels.

This feeling was peculiar, so profound that it was indescribable, especially under the state of Permanent Spirit Awakening.

Ji Jingqiu's expression gradually turned solemn. It seemed that this title indeed had some use.

In front of the temple, a withered Bodhi tree, with only part of its trunk remaining, stood quietly as it had for many years. Beside it was a pond filled with silt.

This was no longer a two-on-two battle; the Far East War Zone could win, as long as there were at least two warriors among the top thirty.

There were hundreds of small paths around the platform, leading to various places, all of which were the core Dao Fields of the former Hundred Channels.

Hearing the last sentence, the Dark Sea warriors' expressions changed drastically. Even if they could rank within the top thousand, they dared not leave the platform and enter the corresponding Dao Fields!

La Jian suddenly spoke, with a hint of interest in his tone.

Ji Jingqiu alone had slain over nine hundred Dark Sea warriors.

Finally, on this day.

Ji Jingqiu: "..."

...

This time, only over six hundred warriors from the Far East War Zone had come.

Ji Jingqiu understood, as he had expected, that the level of combat power he currently possessed was that of the top ten domains.

Unexpectedly.

This path believed that the acupoints of living beings could correspond to the heavenly cycle stars, which were called 'Bright Acupoints'. There were also many hidden acupoints, corresponding to 'Dark Stars', advocating for opening and refining acupoints to unlock the treasures of the physical body.

You Chengkong lent a hand, and Forest Law finally heaved a sigh of relief. This battle, in which he fought alongside others to kill two Taboo warriors, was extremely dangerous. Finally, he had lived up to his brother's expectations.

For the next month, he almost always sat in the ancient temple.

Seeing that the situation seemed a little chaotic, Forest Law shouted, taking the lead in finding Ji Jingqiu's location.

[Breaking through a certain rank will earn you a reward.]



"Forest Law, find a few people to keep watch from a distance. If anyone leaves this platform, we'll join forces to kill them and offer their blood to the spirits of the Heavenly Realm."

[You are different from him. I can vaguely sense that the position you possess will not be lower than that of the 'Sovereign of the Heavenly Realm'.]



This was Divine Perception.

With the reminder from the Ancient Path's Will, Ji Jingqiu understood that the Dark Sea warriors in this war zone had almost all been eliminated.

"Wait until Shen Mengyou and the others descend. When the three-on-two situation is formed, do you think you still have a chance of winning?"

The final result was completely opposite to what they had expected.

Ji Jingqiu formed an alliance with them, jointly surrounding and attacking the Dark Sea warriors who remained on the platform and were not planning to leave.

"Impossible..." someone whispered in disbelief, "How could Shen Mengyou and the Heavenly Sun Lord lose together?"

In the Far West War Zone, someone immediately recognized Ji Jingqiu's war zone, their voice filled with surprise.

The Ancient Path's Will, a faint voice, suddenly echoed in the sky.

"Take a look at this divine ability." La Jian urged.

The crowd quickly followed the sound and located the position of the Alliance Leader, stepping forward and standing behind him.

Warriors from the Far East War Zone stepped onto this platform, causing a brief commotion.

One side had more people, and at the forefront stood a majestic, stern-looking young man with his arms crossed.

This made their expressions turn ugly. It had been a long time since anyone dared to look down on them so lightly.

He sensed a hint of strangeness.

The Ancient Path, the Final Realm.

Divine Perception could sense the invisible heavenly shackles that bound him, which was the key to entering the Shackles Realm. Naturally, it could also sense every part of his body.

The warriors on the Dark Sea side had calm expressions, exuding a sense of superiority as if they were sitting on a fishing platform, looking down on the warriors of the Nine Continents with a cold smile.

"It's over..."

Hela had told him that the Nine Continents were not worth mentioning. Even the countless incomplete positions on the Ancient Path were, to some powerful beings, enticing resources.

[Hmm, this is actually a divine ability seed? It was sealed within your body in a very hidden way, which is quite interesting. It seems to follow the path of the heavenly cycle acupoints, and even I didn't discover it...]



This seemed to be the divine intention seed left by his grandfather before he departed.

"I hope that when the warriors from the last war zone arrive, you'll still have the courage to make noise." Someone spoke softly.

[In the future, when you grow up, and if the Heavenly Realm's universe has not completely perished, you can use this to become the master of this incomplete universe.]



Ji Jingqiu followed his intuition and found a lone lamp, trying to light it, but discovered that ordinary fire was useless.

"Almost all the warriors from the Far East War Zone have come!"

Ji Jingqiu felt something and stepped onto a small path. Along the way, mist surrounded him, and deep within the clouds, he saw a small ancient temple.

If it's truly as they say, then they are indeed in a dire situation, about to fall into a disadvantage.

Jiang Tunhai gazed at the distant Sapo, his eyes clearly filled with provocation. The latter stood calmly, surrounded by the corpses of numerous Dark Sea warriors.

"Don't underestimate the 'Heavenly Realm Hundred Channels'. We are indeed dead, but we have not yet 'Dao Extinction'. As long as the Heavenly Realm remains, the imprints left by our past selves will not fade."

Is this the work of the Mu family or the He family? Their means are mysterious, focusing on the exploration of the human body, carving out their own path.

Enter this place.

During this time, two leaders from the Far West War Zone came one after the other to pay their respects. They had already learned the specific battle situation from the mouths of the Far East War Zone warriors and were greatly shocked. They deduced that this leader from the Far East War Zone had reached the realm of the top ten in front of the Ten Thousand Year Monument and had come to seek guidance.

At the edge of the battlefield, Ji Anquan wiped his mouth, and the coughing caused by Heavenly Mechanism backlash had improved significantly. Not far away, Diao Xingyun and others were still cleaning up the battlefield.

"In the final realm, for a period of three months, warriors in this realm can challenge the imprints on the Ten Thousand Year Monument at any time."

Soon, similar laughter echoed from the Far West War Zone.

"You have already reached the top ten realms, but whether you can enter the top ten depends on a specific battle. Whether your realm is strong or weak, you must fight before speaking. Others cannot predict it."

Divine Perception, as explained by La Jian, emphasizes the importance of fate and law, and cannot be forced.

"That's You Chengkong from the Ghost Mansion! And Yue Huansha from the Moon Ring, Lin Jiaye from the Eternal Night Kingdom..."

On the battlefield, someone lifted their bloodied face, revealing a hopeful smile. They were about to gain the qualification to challenge the Ten Thousand Year Monument!

As for the origin of this Divine Ability seed...

As expected, the final Trial Ground should have gathered the strongest power among them.

The opening of the Divine Treasure is just the beginning. Afterward, they will embark on the path of nurturing the Divine Embryo within their bodies, which is somewhat similar to the mental cultivation of the Embryo Breath Realm. According to the calculations of several Divine Lords, these two seem to be able to complement each other.

Moreover, the most important thing is that he has not yet refined his Divine Perception.

Ji Jingqiu circulated his energy, gently sweeping across the ancient temple, removing the dust, and then slowly sitting down on the only meditation cushion in the temple.

His Divine Perception stirred, and Ji Jingqiu suddenly vaguely guessed its origin.

A spacious platform large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, surrounded by hundreds of narrow paths leading to various places, but at this moment, a layer of restriction temporarily prevented everyone from leaving.

He felt a connection, lit a thread of heart lamp, and upon touching the wick, he actually lit this solitary lamp.

But in the Far East War Zone, not a single warrior from their side was present. Does this mean they are all gone?

During this time, he was digesting the previous Heavenly Road source, adjusting and sculpting his inner world, as well as nurturing his Divine Perception.

For example, his current inner world still needed some further refinement.

But they all noticed the difference in Ji Jingqiu. Just standing there, he seemed to have become the center of a realm, his gaze carrying a sense of disdain, marking him as an undeniable powerhouse.

According to his grandfather's words, he would only be able to perceive it after breaking through the Heart Form.

"His death is related to this position. It's my fault. If I could do it again, I wouldn't give him this position. This position created the later him, but it also became his burden, leading him down a path of no return."

The Holy Land on the Heavenly Road is a fragmented plane, but the core Dao Field Holy Land is almost entirely located here.

They instantly fell into despair. Are they going to defend the safe zone?

Ji Jingqiu heard a sigh beside his ear, coming from the Heavenly Road Will—

But no matter which path one takes, in the end, they often converge, returning to the source of power.

"The word 'position' in 'Dao Fruit Position' refers to the position in the world. In this world, no matter which path one takes, in the later stages, one must face the heavens and the multitude, leaving their mark."

The top-tier power might barely hold up against two opponents, but they were also at a disadvantage in terms of warrior numbers, so they could only hope that the friends in the final war zone would give them a boost.

"Far East War Zone, gather here."

Not far away, a voice from the Far East War Zone echoed.

The next moment, all the remaining trial warriors in the Far East War Zone received an extra gift of Heavenly Road source, especially those who had killed ten people and gained the qualification to ascend the tower.

Hong You's posture remained upright, seemingly unafraid of any enemy. Even with four warriors against him, he still had the strength to fight.

And now...

"I'll tell you, we brought four seed warriors this time, and two more are in the final war zone. When they arrive, your last advantage will be completely gone!"

"Then what about me? Aren't you afraid I'll follow his path?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

If he remembered correctly, four top-thirty-level warriors had come to the Dark Sea this time, and he had killed two of them. If the Far West War Zone had also killed at least one, then there would only be one left? Just one left, should they shrink back? Ji Jingqiu looked towards the other two war zones, his gaze sweeping across, seemingly level, but making the crowd feel as if they were being looked down upon, like a group of turtles in a jar.

The Heavenly Road Will said no more, its thoughts departing.

They had been mocking the Far West War Zone earlier, but now they were hit in the forehead by a returning dart, drawing blood!

Facing the provocation from the Dark Sea warriors, the Far West War Zone was not afraid, but their hearts sank.

"I advise you not to leave this platform, or we will join forces to kill you."

His growth had clearly exceeded his grandfather's expectations.

"After this trial ends, you can enter the final realm and prepare for the Ten Thousand Year Monument."

【Chapter: The Ancient Battlefield】

However...

The warriors from the Dark Sea frowned, all of them from the Far East War Zone. Was there not a single warrior from their side? This trial ground granted entry to the final realm to those who survived for a day and killed ten enemies from the opposing camp, without requiring the annihilation of the entire enemy force.

At this stage, Ji Jingqiu's control over his physical body became increasingly meticulous, a wonder of divine perception.

Stepping into the void rift and reappearing, the group found themselves on a vast platform, not only with warriors from the Far East War Zone but also from other war zones.

"As I said."

It was uncertain how long Jiuzhou could hold out, and if it could last until he grew stronger.

It was common knowledge that Hong You's master's master had endured humiliation and carried a heavy burden for tens of thousands of years, finally achieving enlightenment, defeating powerful enemies, and establishing an invincible Dao field by sealing them all.

Seeing no signs of aggression from the Dark Sea warriors, Ji Jingqiu took the lead and left the platform.

He clearly sensed the shackles binding him in the darkness, existing within his own body, and at the same time, he perceived the "veins" surging between heaven and earth.

At this moment, two groups of warriors faced off on the platform.

"What exactly is this 'position' you speak of?"

At that moment.

Divine perception brought about a substantial improvement in combat effectiveness, enhancing the five senses and the field of perception. In battles of the same level, it became somewhat important.

On one side were the warriors from the Dark Sea, and on the other, those from Jiuzhou.

The remaining two seeds were both from the Far East War Zone, and working together, they should have been invincible, but they had lost? Facing the Far West War Zone's overtures, Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly, glancing at the other two war zones. As expected, these two war zones were won by the Dark Sea side.

Inside the temple, the Vajra's anger was tempered with boundless compassion.

The group instinctively looked towards Hong You, their leader.

Some hearts sank, and their faces turned pale.

In the end, they achieved a great victory, but according to the Hell doctrine, they lacked sufficient "numbers."

He suddenly sensed something unusual within his physical body.

Despite their smaller numbers, they showed no fear, with two warriors at the forefront, exuding an aura and demeanor no less impressive than their opponent's leader.

As the group gathered, they began to greet each other, having been scattered across different areas of the battlefield, unsure of each other's survival. Some also looked towards the other war zones, searching for familiar faces.

This path was stable, but its only drawback was its slowness. It was said that the most profound cultivation methods could refine 840 million acupoints, forming the boundless number of grains of sand, corresponding to the stars in the heavens...

Ji Jingqiu became curious, sensing that there might be hidden information within.

【Those who reach the Ten Thousand Ancient Monument first can choose a Dao field to pay respects and receive the core inheritance of the Hundred Channels of the Heavenly Realm.】

She prided herself on being the person who understood Ji Jingqiu's body the best, yet she never expected that he had hidden a divine technique seed within him.

The lamp glowed a bright yellow, swaying slightly, and a sense of clarity rose within her spiritual platform.

It was four against one, and they were the one!

Ji Jingqiu hesitated for a moment, then tried to touch it, quickly realizing that this divine technique seed contained a technique named 【Great Tumbling Monument Palm】.

La Jian fell silent.

Ji Jingqiu prepared to borrow divine perception to re-examine his inner world, checking for any mistakes.

Until he slowly sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes to rest.

Ji Jingqiu had heard about the so-called 【Heavenly Cycle Acupoint】 from Hela.

Currently, both sides were in a stalemate.

There was no inheritance here, but some imprints from the ancient heavenly realm's powerful figures remained, and if one was destined, they could trigger them and receive some gifts.

The restraints binding the platform also dissipated, but no one from the Dark Sea side dared to make a move.

Overall, it was not as good as La Jian's three great treasures.

Even though their war zones won, not all the warriors were from their side; dozens of strong warriors from Jiuzhou had joined the Far West War Zone's team.

This war zone had hundreds of people, almost all of them standing behind him, and the leader was obvious.

The Dark Sea side won two war zones, with a higher overall number of people than Jiuzhou, but Jiuzhou had two warriors from the Ten Thousand Ancient Monument's thirtieth level, nearly invincible.

【You can choose the suspended ancient temple as your base.】

Their fight did not last long.

【Before ascending, I shall test my vengeful deity with the sword.】

As hundreds of void rifts appeared.

This platform did not allow bloodshed, nor private duels, so both sides were engaged in a verbal battle, a war of words.

A heart moon seemed to rise between his eyebrows, shining brightly, accompanied by a sense of perfection and clarity, both internally and externally.

"Hmph, the Dark Sea's taboo is nothing special. I've already killed one, come and fight if you dare." A taboo warrior from the Far West War Zone stepped forward, his expression cold.

As the numbers gathered.

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes, taking one last look at this ancient, vast, and ruined battlefield, deeply imprinting it in his memory, not for anything else, but so that the Eastern Star would not follow this path of dust.

On the battlefield, a void rift appeared before each person, some leading to the final realm, and some returning to the ancient road.

What kind of trash divine technique is this? Ji Jingqiu stroked his beard, also feeling that this name was somewhat "simplistic."

It didn't seem like a divine technique but rather a common street skill.

This technique... Hmm, it's the intense martial arts will within it! Why does it feel so familiar...

Like I've encountered it before? Ji Jingqiu suddenly became dazed.
