Chapter 251: Three Disasters and Five Tribulations, Celestial Sovereign's Tribulation, and the Sacre

Chapter 251: Three Disasters and Five Tribulations, Celestial Sovereign's Tribulation, and the Sacred Spirit in the Flower

Ji Jingqiu was multitasking, chatting and discussing martial arts with Ko Pingluan while also communicating with Tian Qingzi through mental transmission.

This type of mental transmission was extremely discreet, especially since Ji Jingqiu had already achieved Embryonic Breath and a Heavenly Being would not be able to intercept their communication without him noticing.

"Heavenly Sage Lake is a True Sage Dao Field, with two True Sages residing there. Although you killed Tian Yangjun, your fellow disciple, if you're willing, I can introduce you to another lineage. At that time, you might even have a chance to compete for the inheritance of the Supreme Law, the only way to transcendence!"

"What level of Warrior is a True Sage? Eighth Stage or Ninth Stage?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

"Brother Ji, you probably haven't encountered this level yet. The Three Disasters of a Heavenly Being, the Five Tribulations of a Heavenly King, and once you reach Celestial Sovereign, your cultivation is referred to as a 'Tribulation'. Celestial Sovereign, Dao Ancestor, and True Sage are the three divisions within this realm."

Tian Qingzi sighed, "From the Eighth Stage onwards, one can live as long as heaven and coexist with the Dao. Their cultivation is referred to as a 'Tribulation'."

"Brother Ji, imagine the difference between a powerful warrior who has just glimpsed the Eighth Stage and one who has cultivated in this realm for millions of years, enduring countless Tribulations."

"From the Heavenly Being stage onwards, we no longer refer to it as a stage because the gap between those at the same stage can be as vast as a chasm, especially when it comes to the accumulation of time."

Ko Pingluan only said this one sentence.

In the book, there is a mistake in the version.

"That's Ko Tianjin, one of the current leaders of the Ko family," Ko Pingluan introduced to Ji Jingqiu.

And the rest, more or less, fell short of the threshold of a Heavenly Being.

The banquet hall was bustling with activity.

Afterward, he could head to the North 2 Zone from the West 7 Zone, which was the territory of the Yang family, one of the Six Great Families.

After hearing Ji Jingqiu's description, Ko Pingluan's face lit up with anticipation, wishing he could break through the barriers right then and open the third layer of Divine Treasure, condensing the Primordial Divine Embryo.

The legacies left by Yang Commander and Qin Commander were both related to the blade.

For the latter, this was his "main duty," but he was surpassed by the Ko family's quietly displayed foundation.

For ordinary Warriors, cultivation in the Shackles Realm was extremely challenging, with each step accompanied by significant risks.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, not holding back, and shared his insights on opening the third layer of Divine Treasure.

As more guests arrived at the banquet, some of their gazes fell upon Tian Qingzi and the others sitting at the head table, filled with scrutiny.

Ko Pingluan mentioned the possibility of being hunted, implying that he had already heard some rumors.

Ji Jingqiu immediately activated his inner world, sitting in meditation within his mind, and summoned a strand of Bitter Sea water.

Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu's expression turned solemn. This strange flower was not just a simple problem.

On the stele, there was nothing. He wondered why it was named after the Lotus.

This precious item was obtained by a Ko family ancestor who secretly studied it within the Lotus Mountain.

This strange flower not only possessed the ability to traverse the spiritual realm, but the Dao rhyme unintentionally emitted during its blooming could inspire insights in Warriors below the Heavenly Being stage, aiding in their path to enlightenment.

As for accuracy, in the words of White Deer Shibo, considering the Federation's preference for hiding their talents, the estimate was around seventy percent.

As the Warriors in the banquet hall gradually returned from their enlightenment, Ko Tianjin reappeared, smilingly revealing the "surprise" of this banquet while also casting a subtle glance towards Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu and Ko Pingluan drank together, occasionally joined by other Warriors offering toasts, and even Tian Qingzi came over to offer a toast.

Hidden within another world, a great secret was concealed! Did Ko Commander know about it?

"The Ko family's Lotus Stone? Is the Ko family really allowing us to gain insights from it?"

The "local gang" had no martial morality! He calmed his mind, manipulating his inner world, capturing that mysterious mental frequency again, and then killing his way back! It was indeed a broken world, and as he entered, lightning flashed and deep red lightning twisted menacingly in the sky, powerful mental energy immediately locking onto him, attempting to expel him.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, not saying more.

"Is Brother Ji planning to go to the Western War Zone next?" Ko Pingluan's gaze rested on Ji Jingqiu, hiding a deeper meaning.

His heart sank, what was that just now? When he recovered, his heart was filled with solemnity and killing intent.

This flower, combined with the Lotus Stone, was indeed a fortuitous encounter for Warriors below the Heavenly Being stage and the best way to comprehensively evaluate their enlightenment.

He couldn't help but be curious and tried to touch it with his mind, and surprisingly, he saw the "other side" of this strange flower! It was a majestic divine flower blooming in a world, rooted in a broken land. Its heart was like a divine platform with a human-shaped life sitting atop it, emitting a hazy light, making it difficult to discern. It was sacred and majestic, exuding an indescribable Dao rhyme.

"Dharma Realm?"

Among the Warriors present, Ji Jingqiu occasionally glanced back at the powerful warriors at the top of the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Ji Jingqiu agreed with this statement. Those who reached the Celestial Sovereign stage were undoubtedly powerful, with potential, luck, and Dao heart... all aspects reaching their peak.

Ko Pingluan's guidance led Ji Jingqiu into deep thought.

"Falling Sea Palm, Zhang Haixin, from the Hidden Dragon Ranking! Isn't he going to the Heaven Road?"

The guests at the banquet arrived one after another, most of them acquaintances, greeting and conversing in low voices.

The flower slowly bloomed, releasing the contained Dao rhyme and law, enveloping everyone at the banquet.

Could it be that Ji Jingqiu's enlightenment was not outstanding...

This Lotus Stone, even among the Six Great Families, was considered a precious item, falling into the category of 'foundation'.

"A Divine Embryo that can cultivate on its own?"

"But not everyone can use this, it requires a 'destined person', and has requirements for a Warrior's enlightenment. Simply put, it doesn't help fools."

So this is the Jade Pool Immortal Realm...

Ko Pingluan was startled, then smiled and said, "For example, his astonishing wisdom."

Or... a member of the Six Great Families?

In the present world, he opened his eyes, and as expected, the other party had suffered a severe setback.

This object was a treasure of the Mystic Lotus Mountain in the past, and the Mystic Lotus Mountain had once joined the Ten Directions Sects. It was besieged by multiple parties a million years ago and eventually perished.

Fortunately, the Ko Family will also bring out the Lotus Stone.

Subsequently, Ko Pingluan took out a square, ancient, and rustic stone tablet without any inscriptions.

Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, contacted La Jiang, and told her about what had just happened.

As for Ji Jingqiu, he continued to maintain a high-spirited and vigorous pace, with a high probability of breaking through the Celestial Being realm in the next three years.

Ko Pingluan nodded, "The myriad phenomena are the Dharma Realm, manifesting the true nature of the non-self. The Dharma Realm generally refers to all things in the myriad phenomena, which is the origin and the endpoint of the Dao."

This term had been mentioned numerous times in the Vajra lineage and the Buddha's Dharma inheritance.

Unfortunately...

"Huh?! Where did the Mystic Flower go? How did it disappear so quickly and hide in another world!"

The various lineage warriors' minds were slightly heavy, but they quickly shifted their focus and turned their attention to the fine wine, raising their cups:

"That saves a lot of trouble. I was originally going to discuss with you about the unsealing of the Bodhimanda Demiplane in a few years. By then, there will undoubtedly be many monsters and demons emerging..."

The time for this banquet had arrived.

In his original plan, he would go straight from the West 1 to the West 7, defeat ten martial lineages, and then visit the Qin Family, which was at the opposite end of the Ko Family.

Ko Pingluan smiled and said, "Brother Ji, do you want to give it a try?"

Ji Jingqiu was calming the feeling of tearing in his inner world. For the first time, he experienced defeat in the heart mirror realm.

"With the Divine Embryo reaching one-tenth, breaking through the Shackles Realm will be much simpler." Ji Jingqiu shared his personal insights.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, agreeing with this belief, but he didn't know what kind of "transaction" had been made between the two parties.

He sighed, the Six Great Families indeed hid many secrets.

"This cup is to honor the Ko Family's hospitality!"

Soon, he no longer dwelled on this aspect, and his expression became calm.

"Oh, the previous generation of the Heavenly Sword Dao Ground has also arrived, and this person entered the top 100 of the Dragon Chart a few years ago."

As one of the five pillars of the great universe, surpassing the True Sage, the treasure left by the strong will inevitably attract countless covetous gazes.

A representative of the Ko Family stepped onto the high platform, first glancing at Ko Pingluan, and then interrupting the lively atmosphere in the room.

This scene made the attendants beside him tense.

But this time, he was not hurt, as he had been prepared.

Ko Pingluan casually introduced:

The Heavenly Sage Lake is because of Tian Yangjun?

Ko Pingluan paused for a moment, then transmitted a message through his mind, "Don't go there for now. The west is currently very chaotic, with various conflicts erupting day by day. In some places, everyone has even reached a consensus to prohibit Celestial Beings from entering. If you go to such places, you may be hunted."

Ji Jingqiu didn't respond to Tian Qingzi's invitation but instead obtained a lot of information from him.

This made some of the warriors in the audience who had not yet entered the realm of enlightenment frown and look worried.

Tian Qingzi and the others were very composed and didn't mind the gazes upon them.

"This object was left by our ancestor in the past. It can help one perfect their mental state and take a crucial step in mental cultivation. If accumulated enough, one can even use it to comprehend and integrate their own martial path, creating divine abilities and true essence."

Illusory Mountain has nothing.

Not far away, the elders of the Ko Family, upon witnessing what was happening, couldn't help but reveal a look of astonishment.

"Brother Ji, you can use your mind to touch the stone tablet. If you feel a connection, it proves that you have a 'fate' with it, and you can use it for cultivation."

He had already broken free from the Four Dharma Realms and begun to forge the Bodhimanda Golden Body. Once he took another step forward, who could be his match below the Celestial Beings? Ji Jingqiu began to engage Ko Pingluan in a discussion about martial arts.

"I hope that by then, both you and I will have stepped into the Celestial Beings realm." Ji Jingqiu smiled.

Ko Pingluan calmly stated, while others treated the Lotus Stone as a treasure, he used to sleep hugging it when he was young.

Soon, a warm feeling spread from his stomach to his entire body, nourishing his physique.

"You are the heir of the He Commander."

"Next, I will focus on condensing the Divine Embryo." Ko Pingluan said solemnly.

Ji Jingqiu felt that those strong ones shouldn't be so stingy. The reason for the bounty on him was probably related to the Illusory Mountain.

Previously, when he came into contact with the Dragon Chart, he didn't think that "admiring flowers" would also be subjected to a mental attack.

"Our Ko Family's ancestor relied on this Mystic Flower to wander through various realms, secretly learn from different lineages, and lay the foundation of his martial arts."

"By the way, Brother Ji, has your physical Divine Treasure reached the third layer?" Ko Pingluan asked.

Ji Jingqiu frowned, it seemed to be related to him, but this couldn't be entirely blamed on him.

Who would hunt him down? The Moro Sect and other Four Demon believers secretly plotting in the dark?

As the Mystic Flower bloomed with increasingly brilliant radiance, it almost became a bright moon in the sky.

Ji Jingqiu carefully comprehended this feeling. Just as he was about to immerse himself in it, he suddenly felt that in the "depths" of this flower, there seemed to be a very special, heart frequency-like vibration, linking to the depths of the void.

"Haha, no wonder even warriors from various realms can sit in the Ko Family's honored seat."

Soon, someone discovered the anomaly, including the Celestial Beings from the Ko Family, frowning as they examined the situation. After checking, they could only attribute it to the flower's "discomfort."

Everyone raised their cups and drank, waiting quietly for the moon to rise and the flower to bloom.

"I have indeed taken another step in accepting the ancestor's inheritance, the so-called Great Void..."

Was Ji Jingqiu suffering from a mental backlash? Or was there a mistake in his enlightenment? This surprised them.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Suddenly.

He and Qin Qingjue had both obtained the opening method of this Divine Treasure in the divine temple, but so far, they had only unlocked the second layer.

With a mental scream, Ji Jingqiu was once again expelled from this demiplane.

"The same as before, as long as Brother Ji sincerely joins, some old grudges can be resolved at any time." Tian Qingzi said softly.

Ji Jingqiu was dissatisfied, what do you mean by a disaster star? You keep urging me to sign a contract with a disaster star? Ko Qingxiu should know about it. There's no way he didn't notice the anomaly back then.

In this situation, the years of cultivation are the greatest disparity, making it difficult to catch up unless there are special opportunities or advantages.

【Dream Ephemeral, hiding in another world...】

Thinking of that tree, which seemed to prop up the boundless dimensional world, Ji Jingqiu had reason to suspect that the original body of this world tree came from 【Illusory Mountain】.

Of course, those people would probably not believe the truth even if they told it.

It's hard to say when the two will meet again, but by then, Ji Jingqiu might have already taken the lead, standing at a higher level and easily pulling him up.

Tian Qingzi wasn't concerned. In his opinion, with Ji Jingqiu's extraordinary talent, he would inevitably come into contact with the Yama Float realms in the future.

He spoke slowly with a smile, causing the crowd to marvel. There were quite a few visitors today, and the Ko Family had taken out so many spiritual wines that their generosity had surpassed the Divine Wine Martial Lineages among the Hundred Lineages.

【Every once in a while, it blooms in the great universe... Haha, this is to adapt in advance for the return. As expected, it should be a powerful being undergoing Nirvana.】

Ko Pingluan nodded and then shook his head: "Not only the Ko Family, but the Li Family also made a move, but in the end, they gained nothing."

And those who knew some inside information, like Tian Qingzi and the others, looked on with keen eyes.

These warriors were almost all in closed seclusion, hoping to break through the final limits and achieve the Heaven-human Realm.

The Ko Family's connections in the realms nowadays were mostly left by Ko Commander in his earlier years, but how much is left is actually hard to say.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze suddenly sharpened.

The Federation's martial arts-related rankings that Ji Jingqiu saw first were the Divine Skill and Art Rankings.

And at this moment.

La Sauce sneered,

Six Great Families.

In the instant their eyes met, Ji Jingqiu suddenly leaned back in reality, closing his eyes tightly, with a crimson liquid flowing from beneath his nose.

Ji Jingqiu caught this crucial term.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Lotus Wine of the Ko Family, a spiritual wine formula left by our ancestors. It aids in tempering the physical body and is a nourishing tonic, but it can intoxicate the spirit. Please don't overindulge, or you'll miss the next blooming season."

"What's wrong?" Ji Jingqiu turned around, pondering for a moment before saying, "There are over a dozen Martial Lineages in the west, and accordingly, we should visit them since we're already here."

Ji Jingqiu had already heard that Ko Commander's experiences in his earlier years were different from He Commander and the others. He didn't enter the Royal Heaven Nine Provinces when he was young but instead traveled through the realms with the help of this strange flower.

"Eh... Why did it bloom so briefly this time?"

Ji Jingqiu searched for a few videos and watched them with confidence. As long as he broke through the Heart Mirror Realm, he could crush all enemies.

He certainly had questions, but did this strange flower have no issues?

Ji Jingqiu secretly praised, and it was indeed "Lotus." Ko Commander was really competing with Lotus Mountain.

"Don't you know? Many warriors on the Heaven Road have already returned, and the frontline situation has changed."

At this moment, the banquet had begun, and the servants were serving dish after dish of delicacies and fine wines.

Warriors from various lineages, and even from the other Six Great Families, all murmured in low voices.

"He's only one generation younger than me, and he's one of the two Heaven People with the highest seniority in the Ko Family," Ko Pingluan said helplessly. Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly and suddenly asked, "What about that woman who was obsessed with Ji Lin Yuan? How is she now?"

After three rounds of drinks, Ji Jingqiu filled his stomach with the Ko Family's delicacies.

In the center of the banquet, that strange flower glowed, and even the surrounding area was filled with falling light!

"According to seniority, how does he address you?" Ji Jingqiu asked curiously.

Ko Pingluan also closed his eyes. This wasn't his first time "appreciating the flower," and he easily entered a state of enlightenment.

Ko Pingluan smiled bitterly. The time left for him wasn't much, and even with his confidence, it would be difficult to break through the Heaven-human Realm in the next three years.

For now, they forged some friendship, hoping for a pleasant reunion in the future.

"Currently, in the Yama Float realms, there are indeed many forces hunting you, including two True Sage Dao Grounds. One is named 【Jade Pool Immortal Realm】, and the other is our 【Heavenly Sage Lake】."

Ji Jingqiu's nose twitched, and he smelled a wine fragrance he had never encountered before, a delicate scent that filled his nose.

Only then did Heila realize that this guy had suddenly gone crazy, actually drawing the water of the Bitter Sea.

The top ten of the Hidden Dragon Ranking were known as quasi-Heaven-human Realm, a level that stood at the brink of the Heaven-human Realm.

Ko Pingluan briefly discussed several points of the ancestral legacy with Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly: "I know. The elf girl who was with you that day is also my acquaintance."

It was rumored that Lotus Mountain was besieged by many forces back then due to the efforts of that Ko Family ancestor.

Ji Jingqiu: "?"

"This flower is also called 'Tong You,' and in ancient times, 'You' referred to Cavern Heaven and Bliss Land, which is also the dimensional plane."

Some warriors began to sense something and fell into a state of enlightenment.

Later, he could visit the Qin Family and see their Heavenly Blade legacy under the name of Qin Qing Jue.

However, he had cultivated to the point where four shackles were unlocked, and some of them were even unclear. For example, one morning, he woke up, and the fourth shackle had already been broken through.

On the high platform, Ke Tianjin raised his wine glass, expressing his gratitude with a loud voice:

La Sauce muttered to herself, searching for related information in her memory.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes flashed: "Did the Ko Family set up a trap on the Heaven Road to capture you?"

Ji Jingqiu seemed deep in thought.

At the same time, he said, "Brother Ji, there's something I need to tell you. Both Qin Qing Jue and I are candidates for the Bodhimanda Demiplane."

"To break through the Heaven-human Realm, one must comprehend the Existence of Law Realm and experience the root of the Great Dao."

The Heaven-human Realm and the Hidden Dragon Ranking were two lists, one recording those above the Heaven-human Realm and the other recording those below it, covering almost all the famous and influential warriors in the Federation.

He was very interested in both.

Everyone drank together, and Ji Jingqiu raised his glass and drank. The green wine flowed down his throat, not burning but warm and mellow, with a unique fragrance lingering after swallowing.

Ko Pingluan was stunned for a moment and then shook his head: "She's currently detained deep within our ancestral land. When Ji Lin Yuan appeared on the Heaven Road, she wanted to go there too, but in the end, she was detained by the other clan members."

【This guy didn't check the calendar before leaving, and he encountered you, the disaster star.】

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly and said, "I'm not very talented, but my understanding is relatively advanced."

Ko Pingluan was speechless. In fact, the reason they could bring out the Lotus Stone this time was that some people in the Ko Family wanted to see how far Ji Jingqiu could go.

If he truly possessed exceptional talent...

It might even affect some internal disputes within the Ko Family.
