Chapter 250: For a Second Generation...

Chapter 250: For a Second Generation...

Qing Gu took the initiative and approached with enthusiasm, saying, "I've just entered the Heart Mirror Realm, and I'll fight you without using my Dharmakaya. It won't be considered bullying you."

Ji Jingqiu was speechless. "Are you here to tell jokes?"

He stood up, walked away from his seat, and stretched his body. "Use all your strength and your most powerful abilities, or I'm afraid you won't have a second chance to strike."

Qing Gu's eyes narrowed slightly. Although his words seemed casual, his mind was highly focused. Even disregarding the title of this young man, a warrior acknowledged by a True Sage would undoubtedly possess remarkable abilities.

Qing Gu suddenly leaned forward, his body moving with his punches. One of his fists was wrapped in black and white qi, appearing simple and unadorned, but it directly pierced through the void.

In the blink of an eye, the fist crossed the hundred-meter distance between the two, growing larger as it smashed towards Ji Jingqiu's face! "Eh, are they starting to fight already? Is Ko Family's banquet this direct and explosive?"

Some warriors had already entered the banquet area and immediately noticed the fight in front, looking on curiously.

"Black and White Mountain? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere. Oh yes, the Master's travel journal mentioned it. It seems to be the Black and White Mountain of the Ten Directions Sects!"

69BookBar

In 1, 6, 1, 9, a book, 1, a bar, look, no, wrong version, %!

The void was annihilated, not collapsing or shattering, but instead, everything returned to the most primordial earth, fire, wind, and water forces, becoming threads of chaos mist.

After learning that these people came from various worlds, some of the Federation warriors changed their attitudes, no longer holding back and showing hostility.

With the death of Tian Yangjun, even people like him would have the qualifications to compete for the supreme law inheritance in the future.

It wasn't that he was weak; it was that the enemy was too strong!

"Now that you're here, do you have the confidence to win?" The middle-aged man looked at his fellow disciple.

As expected, on their first meeting, this young man's humility was only on the surface, while arrogance was his true nature.

Tian Qingzi's casual words instantly extinguished Qing Gu's nameless anger.

A young man entered the room, speaking calmly but with an undeniable authority. Even the host, Ko Jiran, lowered his head and respectfully called out, "Little Ancestor."

Boom!

The power gap between each level was immense.

The newcomer was none other than Ko Pingluan.

Qing Gu roared in anger and threw a punch, accompanied by chaos mist. Everything around them blurred, returning to the chaotic origin!

Ji Jingqiu realized that Ko Pingluan's appearance was a classic example of the Ko Family's Great Grandmaster being "unwilling to be lonely."

"Brother Ji, please take a seat with me," Ko Pingluan invited.

He was delighted, feeling for the first time that Ji Jingqiu wasn't as strong as he had thought, as there were still flaws in his abilities.

Ji Jingqiu stood in place, stunned for a moment, silently putting away his boxing stance and rejoining the group, head bowed and silent.

With just one more step, he could evolve this ability into the second move of the Tathagata Palm, the 'Palm of Purity.'

Among them, there were discussions about the attitudes of the Yama Puri worlds, as well as the unrest and conflicts within the Ko Family.

The surrounding Federation warriors were already preparing to take action, some narrowing their eyes, ready to strike at any moment.

Ko Pingluan added,

"And that person is the oldest Great Grandmaster in the Federation. With him here, many of the ideas of people like my grandfather are suppressed."

A Heart Mirror Realm cultivator was so easily repelled? Regardless of his background, he had achieved the unification of the physical body, and his starting point was ten times stronger! "Heaven and Man as One?"

"Not a Dao Field Embryo, but a true Human Heaven and Earth Dao Field?"

"Not long ago, at the Heaven Sun Temple, this kid claimed he couldn't hold back. Could it be that he only mastered it recently?"

The banquet hadn't even started, and Ji Jingqiu took the opportunity to ask Ko Pingluan about his views on certain matters.

As soon as Tian Qingzi's Dharmakaya appeared, Ji Jingqiu felt the heavens and earth darken, and even he was briefly deprived of his connection with the power of heaven and earth.

Ji Jingqiu and Ko Pingluan sat together at the head table.

But the problem was... everyone was amazed and didn't find his behavior offensive at all.

He waved his hand, dispersing the power of heaven and earth gathered in the hall, returning everything to nothingness.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Someone couldn't hold back and whispered, "A warrior's brilliance sometimes comes at the expense of their opponent's cruelty."

He wasn't going to take the blame for this; he suggested that the Heavenly Sage Lake should go and settle the score with the Wilderness Four Demons.

The next moment, Qing Gu took the initiative to attack again, with black and white qi following his fists, showing signs of fusion and evolving into chaos.

The remaining five people's expressions turned solemn. With Tian Qingzi's past reputation, they had always felt that he hadn't used his full strength and had been holding back, but now it seemed...

Ko Jiran's face suddenly turned serious. As expected, this young man was just as the clan had predicted, and the shackles could suppress the Heart Mirror Realm! The onlookers around them exclaimed in surprise.

"I remember now, there was indeed a junior who returned from the Nine Continents, saying that Ji Jingqiu had mastered the Heaven and Earth Dao Field... Could it be true?"

With the Ko Family's Heaven Being and Great Grandmaster's grandson present, everyone wanted to give them face, after all, this was the Ko Family's Ancestral Star.

He nodded slightly. "Forgive me, just now I felt something in my heart and instinctively pushed out a palm."

He made a mental note of this name.

Qing Gu's Dharmakaya behind him also threw a punch, covering the entire bamboo forest banquet with his fist, not giving Ji Jingqiu any chance to escape! Ji Jingqiu's expression became serious as he faced this divine ability. It seemed to reverse the opening of heaven and earth, recreating the chaotic scene of undifferentiated earth, fire, wind, and water, something he had never seen before.

The crowd was eager to see what other tricks Ji Jingqiu had up his sleeve and how far they could push him.

Suddenly, the atmosphere shifted, with clear energy rising and turbid energy sinking, resembling the creation of heaven and earth.

Qing Gu had already engaged in combat several times, pushing the black and white energies to the brink of chaos.

"Who is he fighting? Are these the energies of the Yin-Yang Dao Field or the Yin-Yang Dao Field's Dao brother?"

Wow, that's something! But speaking of...

The surrounding warriors' expressions changed slightly.

Ko Pingluan sighed lightly,

"After all the boasting along the way, can you still show your face? Brother Qu Zhushang, you truly live up to your reputation as the first in the Nine Continents and the Ancient Times, with your humility and inner dominance!"

"It's nothing." Ji Jingqiu's face lit up with a brilliant smile, "Later, I'll have a chat with Brother Ko."

Within a few miles, the air seemed to freeze, turning into a world of black and white.

"Alright, that's enough."

"I feel like... Brother Ji is unusually strong today. It's not like him. Hmm, it must be because of his opponent."

The black and white energies collapsed upon contact, causing Qing Gu to uncontrollably retreat a dozen steps, each step leaving distinct cracks on the ground and emitting crisp cracking sounds.

A middle-aged man nearby frowned slightly. Could this person, who had only reached the third stage of the Heart Mirror Realm and not yet attained its peak, have already entered the top 300 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking without completing the final step?

Ji Jingqiu's reputation preceded him, as it was known that he had challenged over twenty martial lineages, always waiting until the end to finish the fight with just a few moves. Some even called him gentle and modest, which was simply absurd...

Ji Jingqiu nodded, "If I were to travel, there would be no reason to avoid a fight."

But when he looked at Ji Jingqiu, his mood instantly plummeted.

Qing Gu's heart suddenly surged with excitement, and his eyes shone with a glint as if he had found Ji Jingqiu's fatal weakness.

"Now that that person has left... it's inevitable that some from the Six Great Families will become restless. Let's not talk about anything else, but just in terms of lifespan, how many people can truly escape the norms?"

This was a clear case of realm suppression, not something Ji Jingqiu's Dao Field Embryo could contend with.

Qing Gu's expression turned solemn, and he clenched his fists. Although his mind was still wavering, he forcefully suppressed it at this moment.

Tian Qingzi calmly observed Ji Jingqiu without paying attention to the other warriors' challenges.

With the Heaven and Earth Dao Field by his side, even if he was in the top 300 of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, or even higher, Ji Jingqiu could still give it a try! "What a freak!" someone spat, unable to contain their envy.

The crowd fell silent for a moment, resembling stockholders trapped in a dilemma, ready to defend Ji Jingqiu's actions no matter what.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to recall something.

"Everyone, please take a seat. There's another guest on the way, so let's not waste any more time."

Only now did Ji Jingqiu resemble a Heart Mirror Realm warrior facing a lower-level opponent.

Crossing several small stages and a major position, even if his opponent possessed the pinnacle inheritance of the Black and White Mountain, it was still effortless? Although the inheritance of the Black and White Mountain had not yet reached the supreme level, it was not far off. With a glimpse of the path, there was hope for the Heaven Man Fruit Position.

On the day of the final trial, while pursuing a goddess from the Four Divine Lords Temple, she escaped for half a day. In the end, she seemed to have shouted this name.

"Brother Qing Gu, this person is from the Shackles Realm."

Someone in the crowd's pupils constricted like a needlepoint, comparing this strike with the one from over a year ago. That strike, which was already astonishing, had now reached a whole new level.

Ji Jingqiu's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, feeling a sense of strangeness in his heart.

Zhou Yue's expression turned serious, feeling a bit drenched in sweat. What kind of monster was this?

A thunderous rumble echoed.

"Thank you, Brother Ji," Ko Pingluan expressed his gratitude.

She had shouted...

"How far has the Heart Mirror Realm progressed? What face does he have to challenge the Shackles Realm? Why not try me instead?" someone from the surrounding warriors stepped forward, speaking with a cold tone.

Ji Jingqiu reached out and grabbed the Qingzhu Dao handle, drawing the sword.

Although it was only for a fleeting moment, it was a fundamental difference.

Suddenly, the heavens shattered, as if he had broken through countless universes and returned to the real world.

"Is this the 'One Thread of Life'? This strike, compared to the one from over a year ago, is a complete transformation. This child's comprehension is indeed unparalleled!"

"That's Ji Jingqiu? It makes sense."

This was the divine ability, Bodhimanda World.

The black and white colors intertwined, blurring the distinction between yin and yang, as if the clear and turbid energies were merging once more, reenacting the scene of the initial separation of heaven and earth. Eventually, they blended into a faint mist of chaos.

For a moment, Qing Gu fell silent, using an unpolished divine ability against his opponent. In combat, this often provided an opening for the opponent to exploit and defeat him with a single move.

His aura abruptly changed, and behind him appeared a dark and chaotic Dharmakaya, wearing a heavenly crown, with an aura that was both lofty and majestic. As it emerged, it stirred the heavens and earth, instantly becoming the master of the world's core! "This Dharmakaya... Is it the Black and White Mountain's Primordial One Qi Returning to the Corporeal Body?"

A loud rumble echoed.

Tian Qingzi turned to look at Ji Jingqiu, confirming that he wasn't joking.

"Who is Tian Yangjun?"

Ko Pingluan's eyes flashed with determination, not refusing.

The strength of Qing Gu's Dharmakaya was on a completely different level! A field, between the Dao Field and the Heart Mirror Field, enveloped Ji Jingqiu.

—Thank you, Brother Ji, for removing my disciple, Tian Yangjun. Perhaps, in the future, we may have the opportunity to cooperate.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes flickered with doubt, and he communicated silently through his inner world, leaving no trace.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly took a step forward, and in Qinggu's vision, an extra palm appeared, its lines like heavenly traces, exuding a vast and boundless aura.

Although the enemies on the Heaven Road might not be their sect elders, who could say for sure?

Ji Jingqiu's gaze narrowed slightly, and he stood still, calmly pushing out a palm, using the vastness of his inner world to manipulate the power of heaven and earth.

Ji Jingqiu remained in his original position, as if the previous scene was just an illusion of his.

As soon as he spoke, the people around him instantly changed their expressions.

The Shackles Realm, excluding the last two, was usually just four realms, and the Heart Mirror Realm was also a four-step heavenly realm. Climbing them one by one, one could see the Heaven Man.

Just now, this Heart Mirror expert from the Three Thousand Yanfloat Realm had transmitted a message to him.

Ji Jingqiu, with his Heaven and Earth Dao Field, briefly suppressed the heavenly pressure! The elder smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "As expected of the Federation's pride."

The former fourth Divine Anomaly, after Ji Jingqiu invested a large amount of divine essence, had already transformed into a divine ability.

A vast and wild aura permeated the air.

The figure walking towards his companions suddenly stumbled, awkwardly refusing the help of the other companions.

It wasn't that Qinggu Shidi wasn't strong, but that the enemy was too powerful, completely suppressing Qinggu Shidi with the unity of heaven and man, and even with Qinggu Shidi using his Heart Mirror Domain, he couldn't take control of the power of heaven and earth from this person, and at this moment, his inner world and momentum were all suppressed.

He roared, and with a punch, chaos formed, and the black and white energies instantly intertwined, turning into a point, piercing his face!

Tian Qingzi said, "Shidi Qinggu has already glimpsed the path of this Primordial Returning Corporeal Body, and as expected of a seed disciple of Black and White Mountain, he is already on the verge of attaining the Heaven Man Fruit Rank."

Tian Qingzi stepped forward and calmly said, "At Heavenly Sage Lake, Tian Qingzi, I wish to exchange pointers with Brother Ji."

Tian Qingzi's expression was also shaken. When did this person establish his Heaven and Earth Dao Field? Was this the root cause of his Shidi's defeat? He unified his mind and spirit, driving the core inheritance of his sect, enduring the arrival of the Dao Field, and engaging in a head-on battle with Ji Jingqiu.

The others all nodded, their eyes flashing, not only surprised by their companion's lack of showing off, but also amazed at Ji Jingqiu's nonchalance.

"In fact, my grandfather always believed that our descendants should strive to match our ancestors, and not be inferior to them. Under such a sect's tradition..."

This was the top-tier inheritance of Black and White Mountain, almost reaching the threshold of the ultimate realm!

Among the onlookers, someone couldn't help but curse, for this scene was too outrageous and shocking.

The surrounding martial artists were secretly amazed.

Even Tian Qingzi, who was known for his stable pursuit of the Heaven Man, was now near the peak of the Heart Mirror Realm, and yet he had suffered internal injuries at Ji Jingqiu's hands?

But the next moment, Ji Jingqiu strolled leisurely, easily passing through Tian Qingzi's domain, not only taking a step to stand before him, but also manifesting a vast mountain river realm around him, counter-suppressing Tian Qingzi! "This fcking... is a Heaven and Earth Dao Field?!"

He stood in his original position, not moving an inch, like an unshakable, towering Mount Sumeru. With a casual palm strike, he exuded a vast and boundless aura, adorned with myriad phenomena.

Even Qinggu's punch of chaos couldn't break through Ji Jingqiu's palm. He felt like he was bound by heavy restrictions, struggling to break free.

However, thinking about it, it should be the final trial of the ancient road for a certain martial artist...

Ji Jingqiu was sincere; he really didn't remember who the "Heavenly Sun Lord" mentioned by the other party was.

"Hmm, it doesn't seem like the Two Instruments or Yin-Yang lineage's inheritance."

Even his astonishingly talented Shidi couldn't leave a trace in this person's heart?

He activated his Heart Mirror Domain, and his heart light blazed like a bright moon rising, sweeping through with the might of the law.

"And the one from the Mu Clan has always maintained an attitude, believing that for us 'second-generation heirs,' the most successful venture is not to venture at all."

The martial artists of the Federation changed their expressions suddenly.

The two instantly clashed, and the surrounding martial artists frowned in concentration, observing the changes in the field.

To evolve this Primordial Returning Corporeal Body to this level, he was already on the verge of attaining the Heaven Man Fruit Rank.

"This person's strength is not weak." Zhou Yue narrowed his eyes and said.

The two paths are not superior or inferior, and the Federation's martial arts mostly follow the former, with occasional use of the latter, all based on the prototypes of each sect's ancestors.

"Retracting my previous statement, the divine ability inheritance is not bad, but the person is lacking."

It's no wonder...

No wonder the people of the Ko Family are so restless...

A figure was sent flying straight, it was Qinggu.

The long knife fell, and the annihilation phase followed, directly exploding the chaotic heaven and earth.

The next moment, his breath suddenly sank, and behind him appeared a dharma body, far less grand and vast than Qinggu's, resembling his own form, following the path of using oneself as the dharma.

Even Tian Qingzi's side fell silent.

"I am at the same realm as you, and I wish to fight you." Someone stepped forward, and instantly, an iron-blooded aura permeated the air.

A voice of authority echoed from above.

—Heavenly Sun Lord! Join me in slaying this brute!

Black and White Mountain...

Ji Jingqiu sighed softly.

A voice of indifference echoed.

This scene, in normal circumstances, would be enough to make the surrounding martial artists exclaim in admiration, but now, silence was the best choice, to avoid hurting others.

Ji Jingqiu, stopped by the Heaven Man, nodded slightly and brushed past Tian Qingzi.

In the wake of the fist's path, the void collapsed, the dual energies of black and white contracted, and all colors faded, almost coalescing into a single point. Within the chaos, it was as if the heavens and earth were newly formed.

Qing Gu spoke in a deep voice. As a Heart Mirror Realm cultivator, he was pushed back by Ji Jingqiu's palm strike, which was not only humiliating but also a stark reminder that fame often came with unfounded criticism.

An elderly man stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of dignity. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on Ji Jingqiu.

"Demonstrate your Dharmakaya and the Heart Mirror Field," Ji Jingqiu said calmly. "I don't want to see the legacy you carry end abruptly without even witnessing it."

What grudges, what resentments, had brought them to this battlefield, only to be used as a scapegoat?

And if one were to be constantly vigilant, it would be no different from binding oneself.

Bad...! His hair stood on end. The opponent seemed to have used a trace of Primordial Intent to freeze his evolving chaos, and then, with the momentum, "opened the heavens and earth"! Before Qing Gu could react, the long sword was already before him.

The uniqueness of the Primordial Divine Embryo's legacy meant that even if it were personally passed down by the founder, one would still have to compete for it.

Humility and courtesy? The demeanor of a gentleman?

Tian Qingzi's first move was a thunderous strike, vying with Ji Jingqiu for control over the Heavenly Earth Power, a stark contrast to his earlier demeanor.

With the Heavenly Dao Field at his disposal, a single misstep could lead to defeat, making it a deadly move.

Ji Jingqiu turned to Qing Gu, shaking his head. "If this is all you've got, it's far from enough to test my mettle. Is it that your skills are inadequate, or does your lineage's inheritance stop here?"

If the other party is willing to put up a front, what more do you want? Arrogance should be the norm! If we had achieved such accomplishments at seventeen, what would the Seven Commanders be? Of course, at this moment, everyone empathized and wisely refrained from expressing their thoughts, fearing that they might be... No, it was Qing Gu who felt embarrassed and ashamed.

It was at this moment that Tian Qingzi suddenly sent a telepathic message to Ji Jingqiu and then turned back to his side.

"It's not appropriate to fight today. Let's both take a step back for now."

The crowd, momentarily enraged, fell silent.

A warrior's Dharmakaya has two paths: one is to become the 'Dharma' oneself, and the other is to use a stronger cultivator as the 'Dharma'.

Using the blade back?!

Some couldn't help but frown. Why would a Yama Float warrior blatantly appear in the Ko Family's territory?

In a contest of strength, the mind and momentum are paramount.

Hearing these words, some glanced at Qu Zhushang and the others who had just arrived, their gazes peculiar, the implication clear.

In this moment, Qing Gu felt as if the heavens and earth were contracting before him, as if the myriad worlds were converging into this single palm, leaving him alone to face the upheaval. All that remained was despair! No, there was a flaw!

"Wait, so you're saying he didn't use his full strength in previous battles?"

Using a stronger cultivator as the 'Dharma' in the Dharmakaya leads to faster initial progress and greater power, as there's a reference to follow, but breaking through later becomes limited, requiring one to find their own path.

"Since we're on Ko Family's territory, let's avoid bloodshed today."

As soon as he touched the ground, he sprang back up, disregarding the blood flowing from his seven apertures, his face a mix of anger and fury. He was about to charge again when Tian Qingzi beside him reached out and held him back. Even in his rage, Qing Gu couldn't break free.

After a brief exchange, Tian Qingzi seemed to have gauged Ji Jingqiu's strength. He glanced at Ji Jingqiu and smiled slightly.

Was this the legendary number one in the Nine Continents and Ten Thousand Ages?"

Qu Zhushang and the others looked towards Ko Jiran's side. Their clothing styles were similar, clearly not from the Federation.

"Haha, do you believe he truly held back, or do you believe I'm the He Commander?"

"This is too much! How can this be tolerated?"

[Primordial One Breath Reverting Corporeal Body]! If not for the presence of a Celestial Being, suppressing the surrounding Dharmas, the area within several li might have reverted to the state of the opening of the heavens and earth, everything turning to chaos.

The other four didn't underestimate him, thinking he had disgraced the reputation of Black and White Mountain. Instead, they grew solemn, for Qing Gu had reached the pinnacle of his abilities.

This person was average in all aspects, only slightly superior to those from the Martial Lineages. However, the legacy he cultivated was astonishing, with an extremely high level of intent.

For a moment, the heavens and earth within the field seemed to solidify, even Ji Jingqiu and Tian Qingzi appeared frozen like insects in amber, only the flow of time continued.

"When did this kid advance his Dao Field Embryo to the level of the Heavenly Dao Field? How could he have hidden it so well?!"

Amidst the radiant blade light, the long sword slashed out, a gleaming ray of light seeming to split the dark chaos.

"Be careful," Tian Qingzi's eyes grew solemn, and he acted decisively, learning from Qing Gu's lesson and holding nothing back.

"Actually, each family has its own stance on certain matters."

Qing Gu felt as if the darkness before him suddenly lit up, like the initial chaos when the earth, fire, wind, and water erupted.

"This is definitely not those two families!" someone declared, "There are obvious differences in all aspects. What lineage is this? It's probably not from the Federation, or we would have heard of it!"

At this point, Ko Pingluan fell silent.

Ji Jingqiu was speechless, and then silently praised.

As expected of the Mu Clan's ancestor.

Such insight!
