Chapter 232: I No Longer Look Up at the Blue Sky (10,000 words) (Part 1)





Brushing past the remains of the Imperial Capital.

Ahead, a rift portal appeared.

Ji Jingqiu stared at the portal for a moment before stepping through. Instantly, the sound of flowing water filled his ears, mixed with the roar of a mighty river.

This is...

The Flowing Time?

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu had a sudden realization, as if he understood what Shen Mengyou had mentioned before about the "battlefield that transcends time and space."

His heart trembled.

"This power is too vast and too dispersed... Can he truly control it?"

In a, 6, 1, 9? A book, a bar, a look, a mistake, a wrong, a percent, an exclamation!

"He Donghuang... Could it be that you've forgotten the methods of those from the Wilderness?" someone whispered, their voice filled with deep apprehension.

At this moment, in the center of it all, on the arena that spanned across the boundless expanse of time.

The warriors on the ancient path, like Shen Mengyou, stood in a daze, sensing the dissipation of a strand of mental power.

In front of him, Mu Juncheng from the past seemed as naive as a child who had just begun martial arts training.

Mental power filled the entire arena, blurring the line between reality and illusion. It was as if the heavens and earth had transformed into a grinding mill, crushing everything in its path! This oppressive feeling was all-encompassing, affecting both the mind and the body.

She also saw a figure that shouldn't have been in her memories.

[As expected, the successor of the World-Honored One's lineage is indeed a madman! How do you plan to control this power that doesn't belong to you? Do you want to climb the Ten Thousand Year Monument and kill yourself in the process?]



He not only sighed at the gap during divine sojourn, but also wondered why he couldn't catch a glimpse of the peerless woman's back even after entering the path and advancing to the Seventh Realm.

He felt that this method might have a similar effect to the federal body sculpting technique.

They had already overestimated Ji Jingqiu, but they never expected him to charge into the top ten battlefield as if it were uninhabited!

Under this mighty mental power, even the spectators outside felt a sense of illusion, as if the heavens and earth had become incredibly narrow and insignificant, unable to contain this infinitely soaring mental power.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

A clear and cold voice sounded.

"It's Ji Shuai!" Yao Heshan exclaimed, searching the crowd with his eyes, then asking in confusion, "Why can't I see He Shuai and Mu Shuai?"

At this moment.

"Ji Jingqiu... Ji Shidi!"

An indestructible body strolled through the collapsing dimensions, seemingly eternal and impossible to extinguish.

It was always Ji Jingqiu who used the power of the Dharmakaya to block others from sensing the Dharmic Principles, but today he had followed in everyone else's footsteps.

And he still has control over such methods?!

This was not an illusion but a real scene.

The vast and scattered mental power, at this moment, transformed into white flowers blooming in the void.

This reckless fighting style was not suitable for him.

A white flower, round like a full moon, bloomed at Ji Jingqiu's feet, in harmony with the ultimate truth of the heavens and earth.

Ji Jingqiu burst into laughter, and the shadows of mountains and rivers appeared around him. His inner world connected with the external world, sealing and suppressing Yi Tianpeng. With consecutive Great Tumbling Monument Palms, he incorporated the intent of shattering mountains and rivers and turning the world upside down! Each palm strike was simple yet domineering, and he fought without holding back.

"The ancestor of my Tattoo Palace has appeared!"

"Are all future warriors so arrogant?" Yi Tianpeng muttered, taking a deep breath and straightening his back like a majestic mountain.

But when they converged, it was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, vast and boundless!

"Is this really all of Ji Shidi's strength?"

"Is this the final battlefield?"

The white flowers seemed to have gathered a thousand layers of snow, and Ji Jingqiu emerged from the sea of flowers, or perhaps from the crowd.

As soon as this Dharmakaya appeared, it began to compete with Ji Jingqiu for control over the power of the heavens and earth.

Even if it was restrained and subtle, it still shared the same nature—

...

However, if they were to prolong the fight, it would deviate from the true intention of this battle. It would be better to find others to exchange martial arts and divine abilities.

The Imperial Heaven of the past naturally couldn't possess the power to reverse the flow of time.

[Seeking Life]! A cicada's life is but a fleeting autumn, and all beings strive to cross over! Even if it's the will of heaven, what of it? It's like grass and trees, all striving to cross over!

The trial ground.

The two exchanged dozens of moves, countering each other's attacks. Ji Jingqiu's Bodhimanda Insight Eye reached its peak, and the Heart Moon Divine Perception blossomed from his forehead, attempting to peer into the mysteries of Mo Tingfeng's Sewn Ink Tattoo.

The powerful warriors were shocked, never expecting Ji Jingqiu to be able to fight to such an extent.

Ming Miao Yin approached with a detached demeanor, her feet treading the void, her sleeves fluttering as if she were the will of heaven incarnate, high above the mortal world. Yet, she carried an overwhelming pressure, as if the heavens and earth were about to crush everything in their path!

This power was too vast and too scattered, lacking a central force to unify and channel it.

He looked forward to their future meeting, eager to see how far this Great Tumbling Monument Palm could evolve.

This person wielded divine abilities with ease, and even though they were ordinary, in his hands, they transformed into wonders. The power of his abilities even surpassed that of Chang Lan's ultimate divine ability by a hair.

There was no life or death, only pure combat! Pure to the point of almost achieving unity with heaven and man!

Their fists clashed, and the force of their blows swept through the air, extending for thousands of meters. The mere sound of their physical collision caused the warriors on the ancient path to change their expressions.

If she couldn't compete for control, no one should be able to withstand the might of the heavens and earth.

But if that were truly the case... Ji Jingqiu could only stop here, at most fighting her to a mutual defeat.

Leng Sanyan looked deeply into Ji Jingqiu's eyes and said, "I hope to meet you in the future."

How could this be the body of someone in the Divine Roaming Realm? Even if they break through the peak of shackles in the future, it might not be any different!

If he wanted to break through with the power of the Heaven and Earth Dharmakaya, it would be difficult.

Sword intent erupted from every part of her body, like a hundred rivers flowing, stirring the invisible path between heaven and earth, causing the heavens and earth to resonate.

Her sword heart was calm and serene, reflecting all changes. Below her sword, there was only the intent to cut through everything, without a trace of distracting thoughts.

Even Ji Jingqiu's gaze was deep and profound at this moment.

On the ancient path, Ji Tianxing revealed a smile and transmitted his voice, "You're not bad! But it's not enough. If it were some reckless fellow, they would have already challenged the entire arena by now."

—The Brahma Flower blooms, and the Holy King returns.

All nine of them had already stepped into the realm of the permanently awakened spirit, akin to the unity of heaven and man. At this moment, their nine streams of qi intertwined, resonating with heaven and earth, triggering celestial changes!

Even so.

She saw her past self, who had not yet understood the superiority of sentient beings over Heavenly Heart, and she rarely smiled with such gentleness.

Another person spoke softly, "It's almost time. When this battle ends, Ming Miao Yin will take advantage of the situation and enter the Shackles Realm, naturally forming her first Sacred Embryo, defeating all enemies."

It was Ji Shuai.

"Don't be impatient, Brother. It's not just you; we will eventually fight them one by one." A man with a high crown and a broad belt, named Nie Qingyuan, the fourth of the Ten Thousand Year Monument, known for his invincible Dharmakaya, spoke with a gentle smile.

That figure indifferently traversed countless annihilated worlds of extinction.

For the first time, Ji Jingqiu lost his resonance with the Dharmic principles of heaven and earth, as well as his response to the power of heaven and earth.

These mental powers were only a tiny fraction, and most of them were lost while crossing through time and space, like a trickling stream.

The pure and scorching martial intent that surged within him was constantly rising, reaching the top of the vast sky! At this moment, he picked up the invincible mindset of ascending to the White Jade Capital, swallowing mountains and rivers. Even when facing the strongest in the Ten Thousand Years, he still had the demeanor of looking down upon all other peaks, with a spirit of self-sacrifice.

This person was quite carefree and generous, realizing that his martial arts were restrained by Ji Jingqiu, so he went to find the others to spar.

He, too, was from a million years ago, of the same generation as Ming Miao Yin, and had lived to the present, already becoming a major figure in his region.

Ming Miao Yin's pupils constricted.

Was this a strategy to provoke her?

The sword and blade clashed, and layers of qi rippled and exploded, but Ji Jingqiu remained unmoved, while Leng Sanyan retreated several steps, her arms slightly trembling.

Mo Tingfeng, standing nearby, shook his head at this sight.

At this moment.

"Senior Sister Ming, I feel the pressure, and I need to be pushed to my limits. I hope you won't hold back either."

"Is it Mo Tingfeng, demonstrating several great divine abilities at once?"

What is an invincible spirit?

Initially, it was like a flowing stream, then it filled the heavens and earth, and finally merged with them.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable! This child is so stunning, and this generation of the Nine Provinces has truly produced an extraordinary True Saint Seed!"

That was a trace of divine essence's profundity that he had comprehended on the ancient path, using impermanence to prove permanence, and in that instant, he touched the pulse of eternity.

"Is that so?" Ming Miao Yin sighed, and her expression and demeanor suddenly changed, as if the heavenly will was lofty and transcendent.

"Even if it's not the first time I've seen it, I'm still left in awe. This is not the power of Imperial Heaven, but... Unfathomable Mountain!"

He punched out, his might swallowing ten thousand miles, his power as vast as an ocean, and like a falling meteor, it smashed down!

A person stepped forward, with lightning flickering in his right eye. It was Mo Tingfeng, the third of the Ten Thousand Year Monument, challenging Yi Tianpeng.

This was not just a tranquil heart's mental realm...

He had been thinking before that whether his divine ability from the ancient heavens could "nurture" him. And the facts proved that it could, but this divine ability was also uncontrollable.

He had no fear of any enemy and wanted to test all the martial artists on the stage.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but laugh softly, "Those who walk by the river will eventually get their feet wet..."

His specially crafted treasure robe was forcibly shattered, leaving a clear palm print on his chest.

"Could this child really break into the top three, challenging the first? The distance to the first... only Ming Miao Yin remains now!"

This person had seemed absent-minded since the start of the battle, as if he had other thoughts.

That was the location of the 'Dao Ground' that martial artists relied on to dominate the heavens and the universe! This was so unreasonable!

Only eight words echoed repeatedly in their minds:

This was it! "Why doesn't Ji Jingqiu draw his sword?"

This scene moved all the watching martial artists.

It was insignificant.

Regrettably, he didn't see He Shuai or Mu Shuai's figures.

But he truly went to another world, surging towards someone.

He could dominate without fear, suppressing others with his powerful physique, yet he was helpless before the Heavenly and Earth Dharmakaya, only able to take the blows.

Opposing the profound and majestic heavenly will was a tiny, dust-like being under the vast sky, yet it was insignificant but not humble.

"In the past, Yi Tianpeng achieved an eternal indestructible body, but then he betrayed the Mother God Church and was exiled into the boundless void. Has he truly died now?"

[The existence of 'La Jian' has been constantly erased since that year.]



Not only the young people on the ancient path were excited, but many powerful individuals were as well.

Before trying, Ji Jingqiu had already figured out what the last piece of the puzzle was.

He knew what Hela was worried about.

"Ming Miao Yin... Is this crazy woman really dead?"

The two exchanged dozens of moves in the blink of an eye.

"It's Nie Qingyuan, Yi Tianpeng..."

Only the martial artists from the Virtuous Palace who were watching changed color after witnessing the water curtain's shadow art.

...

Not far away, Yi Tianpeng's pupils suddenly constricted, speaking one word at a time.

"As Brother Yi wishes."

White Brahma flowers bloomed under Ming Miao Yin's feet.

Ji Jingqiu's heart went through a thousand thoughts, his wisdom shining, and at the last moment, he found the final piece of the puzzle.

"Unfathomable Mountain..."

Tranquil Heart was the limit of Divine Roaming Realm, not Ming Miao Yin's limit.

La Jian's whisper was worth pondering, but Ji Jingqiu had no spare time at the moment.

In the depths of the boundless void.

Time and fate were the most incomprehensible and unattainable forces in the universe.

With a turn, he crossed paths with someone, facing their respective opponents.

"Nonsense, I just want to exchange a few moves with Elder Brother Mo. Since it's like this, Elder Brother Mo, be careful."

Nie Qingyuan formed hand seals, and behind him appeared a lofty and immeasurable Dharmakaya. It was neither divine nor demonic, neither self nor other, and its existence seemed to elucidate some dharma principles between heaven and earth.

Relying on his Heaven and Earth Dharmakaya and his own well-rounded abilities, he was more than capable of dominating today's arena, unafraid of any other opponent.

He withstood Chang Lan's ultimate divine ability, turned to slash Yi Tianpeng, and then struck out with a palm to confront Nie Qingyuan.

Yi Tianpeng sighed, "It's true, damn it. I couldn't break through, but someone else can break through this realm?"

Seeing that Ji Shuai was still somewhat off his game, Ji Jingqiu had to take drastic measures and transmitted his voice, "Junior Ji, from Yan Huang."

Under the combined force of sealing, suppression, and summoning, there was no way out for warriors of the same level!

This was not just the strength of the top ten, but a move to advance to the top three, challenging the first in ten thousand years!

Every word seemed to be carved with humility and politeness, and his voice was gentle and implicit. But when these words were put together, they were far from humble, only conveying politeness.

He attacked again, abandoning another opponent, and with a hunter's joy, he said, "Junior Ji indeed has real skills! Let me see your Heaven and Earth Dharmakaya in the Divine Roaming Realm!"

"I'm not sure, I just discovered it and stepped into the top ten battlefield!"

"Junior Ji, let's skip the pleasantries. Today's battle, you were impressive, but based on your performance just now, if you want to surpass me and challenge the first one, in the Divine Roaming Realm, you still lack a bit."

Even Nie Qingyuan, second only to Ming Miao Yin, was shocked by this scene.

"Less talk, let me gauge Junior Ji's strength!" Yi Tianpeng laughed, his blood boiling and overflowing, like a furnace releasing scorching heat, every inch of his flesh seemed to be transformed by the blazing sun, dazzling to the eyes.

A chaotic battle was about to erupt, and the curtain was raised! The eight people present looked at each other, chose their opponents, and unleashed a thunderous strike.

It was a fusion and penetration of a warrior's martial arts, embodying all his martial will, his passion for the martial path, his ideas, and his cultivation.

At this moment.

He laughed and remembered this name in his heart.

Everyone was stunned by this scene, unable to speak, as if the scene before them was just a dream, and any movement might shatter it.

"Are you the challenger who goes against the flow in this generation?" A half-naked young man with sharp eyes smiled and said, "In your era, did Yi Tianpeng ever step into the Supreme Realm?"

Mo Tingfeng seemed to be pondering the intricacies of the divine ability Ji Jingqiu displayed.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze fell on one person.

Mu Qing's sigh was heard:

No wonder this person hadn't taken action earlier.

An intense confidence filled the arena, subtle yet pervasive, as they confronted and suppressed each other, forming a substantial vortex of oppressive energy above the arena, affecting everyone.

At this moment, the Human Heaven and Earth Dharmakaya and Tranquil Heart...

He was unafraid of others' invincible domains and chose to clash with them in their most proficient domains.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu stepped forward.

"Heaven and Earth Dharmakaya?!"

Lu Tong, standing nearby, frowned, his excitement halved, and he stared wide-eyed, as if he had bought a ticket to a galaxy concert but didn't see his idol.

This sword was incredibly familiar to him! Heaven Sword Dharmakaya?! But this sword was purer and sharper than what he had seen on Yin Wushuang.

[It seems I guessed right, He Donghuang's existence is being erased by their joint efforts. But... why isn't Mu Shitian here? Has he taken that crucial half-step?]



...

He exerted himself to the extreme, but still fell short, unable to completely suppress this power.

With a palm print on his chest, Yi Tianpeng roared, and two invisible shackles appeared around him, only to shatter violently. He burst with his strongest blood energy, standing firm as a rock, enduring the first palm.

"There was another battle before, but I'm not sure about the opponent's identity. He seemed pretty strong, simultaneously displaying several great divine abilities, but was struck down by a palm from Alliance Leader Ji, as it was too fast for us to see."

"Achieving Permanent Awakened Spirit to attain an alternative Unity of Heaven and Man, no matter how many times I see it, I'm still filled with awe. It's beyond our reach."

These young people, having completed their challenges, still chose to stay and witness this moment! The top ten of the Ten Thousand Years Monument, no matter which era, would leave an indelible mark in history, a colorful stroke in the vast book of history.

"It begins! Alliance Leader Ji starts the Ten Thousand Years Monument challenge!"

Countless years ago, a young man of similar age to him received a palm strike on his chest, leaving a vivid palm print.

This sword seemed to split the arena, creating a clear boundary.

At this moment, he seemed to restrain the dominance he had shown earlier in challenging others.

Between this person's eyebrows, just like Ji Jingqiu, there was a dazzling divine light, the light of divinity.

It was said that after reaching the eighth realm and touching the Supreme Barrier, one could feel the wash of time's long river, slightly contracting one's timeline, but still lacking the ability to interfere with others' timelines.

Like a puzzle, it was missing the most crucial, most central piece. Fitting in the last piece would complete the puzzle and set it in motion.

Upon witnessing this scene, Mo Tingfeng's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "This evolved divine ability is truly marvelous! Ji Jingqiu and I are of the same path. In this world, there is no invincible law, only invincible people!"

He turned back, as if looking at his past life, and raised his hand to press against his chest.
