Chapter 295: Obtaining the Law, Two True Saints of the Divine Lake (Part 2)

Chapter 295: Obtaining the Law, Two True Saints of the Divine Lake (Part 2)

"

"A few tribulations? Is that a unit of time? How many years is a tribulation?" Ji Jingqiu asked in confusion.

"Your innate divine ability is called 'The Beginning of One Yuan.' How many years is one yuan?"

"Twelve million nine hundred and sixty thousand years."

"Usually, one-twelfth of a yuan is one tribulation, which is ten thousand and eight hundred years."

Although Ji Jingqiu had already guessed, he couldn't help but feel a sense of numbness.

That would be several tens of thousands of years!

And this was with him cultivating the Fire House Buddhist Hell Visualization Diagram.

"This is purely a contemplation and breathing exercise? What about other opportunities?" Ji Jingqiu thought of the various Grandmasters in the Federation and the Seven Heroes of the past.

The Seven Heroes had only cultivated for a few hundred years!

"Then it's hard to calculate. I can only say that you were born ten thousand years too late."

Hela shook her head.

"Additionally, your talent is indeed exceptional, but compared to those bastards and scoundrels, it's not worth mentioning."

"Sitting at home and meditating won't make you an instant success. Let me show you a path."

Looking at La Jiang, who seemed indifferent and casual, as if he was purely giving advice out of the goodness of his heart to a junior, Ji Jingqiu was a little suspicious.

Today, La Jiang seemed unusually talkative, taking the initiative to chat with him at length. Was he in a good mood? Of course not.

"Tell me," Ji Jingqiu asked.

"Divinity," Hela said slowly, "I mentioned this to you before. To reach the Heavenly King level, a warrior needs to use a vast number of living beings as an anchor to condense the Warrior God. Do you remember?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded. "Isn't this the key to staying in the Lawbound Realm for a long time?"

Only with absolute pure divinity can one resist the erosion of Dao nature. This is the Warrior God, and it's also the key to reaching the Heavenly King level.

"If you want to accumulate Dao power quickly, you must do something drastic. How can you establish yourself in the Realm of Sitting Forgetfulness without being ruthless?" Hela said earnestly. "I've thought of a way for you—become a god! This method will also help you establish yourself in the Lawbound Realm!"

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned wooden. "You call this a method? You want me to become a useless demigod?"

He had already encountered such demigods and had worked together with Hela to slay them.

It was the night when he received "guidance" from the Hero King, when they encountered the Red Lotus Bodhisattva.

"They had no choice. Changing paths midway and starting from scratch is naturally the most tedious way."

Hela spoke with concern for him, "But you're different. You have the Supreme True Buddha!"

"Also, divinity is omnipotent! Remember this point!"

"Even True Saints yearn for the mysteries of 'divinity' at all times."

Ji Jingqiu was doubtful. "What does this have to do with the Supreme True Buddha?"

"Hehe, you'll find out later." Hela kept him in suspense and then said, "It's not that no one has tried to further refine their divinity as an anchor for the Realm of Sitting Forgetfulness. They simply couldn't do it. This is not comparable to resisting the erosion of Dao nature."

"The essence of the Realm of Sitting Forgetfulness lies in merging with the universe. That's why only the major powers in the various realms can afford to support the Heavenly Kings. To continue progressing, they must command a complete plane world."

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned solemn. His unity with the Heavenly Path allowed him to communicate with a planet, and in the realms, it was the will of heaven and earth within the range.

His mind encompassed an entire universe. Even if it wasn't the Grand Universe, but the plane world of the Three Thousand Yanfu Ti, it was still incredible.

"Don't worry, I'm already paving the way for you." Hela raised her head proudly and said, "No need to thank me!"

Paving the way for himself? Ji Jingqiu was suspicious. This guy was being so proactive, saying that he was paving the way for him, but it was likely that he had other motives.

At this moment, the terminal rang.

"Jingqiu, the specially-made spaceship for the Heavenly Beings is ready. You can depart for the Four Shrine Star at any time."

Ji Jingqiu acknowledged and thanked his senior brother.

He decided to follow Hela's suggestion and visit the Four Shrine Star to pay his respects to the Senior Xuan Yi.

Closing the ancient book from the Mind Shrine Dojo, Ji Jingqiu put it away in his inner realm, placing it next to the True Spirit Pool, and reminded the little guy to keep an eye on it and not get it wet while playing.

After that, he set off for the port, where he saw his senior brother and a few crew members waiting.

Under the guidance of the crew, Ji Jingqiu quickly scanned through a thick manual with his mind, getting a grasp of this "long-distance ship" specially designed for the Heavenly Beings.

"This spaceship is a model from the Federation Laboratory and is still in the testing phase. In theory, it can withstand five consecutive space jumps, and three jumps will be enough to take you from Dongsan Huang Star to the Four Shrine Star," Yang Yao instructed.

Ji Jingqiu nodded. "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Then, he boarded the spaceship and set off early to return early.

Unless a warrior advances to the Heavenly King level and masters the ability to be everywhere, allowing them to cross the starry sea in an instant, even for a perfect-stage Heavenly Being, crossing the void is far less convenient and comfortable than a spaceship, especially for long-distance travel.

When Ji Jingqiu boarded the spaceship to witness the neutron star explosion, he had already experienced the Federation's space-jumping technology.

This technology is like treating the real universe as a piece of paper, folding the two ends together, so jumping from one end to the other only takes an instant.

However, this space-jumping technology, unless it's a natural wormhole, has extremely high requirements for the ship's materials. If not, the ship might snap in half like a biscuit.

Currently, only with a Heavenly Being's presence and the protection of the Heavenly Dao Field can the safety and smoothness of wormhole travel be guaranteed.

On this trip, from Dongsan Huang Star to the Four Shrine Star, there were dozens of star systems in between. Even for him, relying solely on crossing the void at full speed and borrowing the path of the mind ocean, it would still take several days.

But now, it would only take about an hour.

Ji Jingqiu boarded the spaceship alone, without any companions.

Consecutive space jumps, even with the protection of the Heavenly Dao Field, were not something ordinary people could endure.

Additionally, this was an experimental product...

Ji Jingqiu followed the operating procedure and started the spaceship, leaving the port and heading into space.

Along the way, Hela mentioned with interest, "This technology is also a kind of application of the rules of the Great Way, but it's a pity it stops here. The true height of the Dao is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"Do you know the two True Saints at the Heavenly Lake?" Ji Jingqiu asked on the way.

"I don't have any dealings with them, so I'm not familiar."

Ji Jingqiu thought, then decided to visit the Four Directional God Lord on his way to the Four Shrine Star.

An hour later, in the deep and dark sky of the boundless star.

Braving the cold and desolate wind in the universe, Ji Jingqiu stepped on the golden lotus, radiating brilliance with every step, as he traversed the darkness.

He sighed, indeed a test subject, theoretically five times, but practically three times and it's already scrapped.

Fortunately, he had already been sent near the Four Shrine Star.

From a distance, Ji Jingqiu saw the six divine lights rising from the Four Shrine Star.

Ji Jingqiu frowned, were those the Twelve Deity Generals?

The God Emperor and the Deity Generals were already in trouble, why would they disregard their origins and flaunt their power like this?

"Who's there?"

A solemn mental transmission came from ahead.

Ji Jingqiu looked into the distance, and on the multiple satellites surrounding the Four Shrine Star, over a dozen Heavenly Being warriors were stationed.

The one who spoke was of an extremely high realm, and in his perception, he was at least at the peak of the second Heavenly realm.

Ji Jingqiu introduced himself, and the other party politely replied, "So it's Young Master Ji! Currently, the Four Shrine Star is under control, heavily guarded, but you are not on the list, so you can enter directly."

Ji Jingqiu thanked him and asked, "Has something happened at the Four Shrine Star recently?"

The Heavenly Being guarding the star replied, "An outsider infiltrated the White Jade City, alarming several God Emperors."

"Are they warriors from other realms?" His gaze swept across the four directions, and under the Bodhi Wisdom Eye, he could vaguely see some figures that were either extremely far away or well-hidden.

After sensing his gaze, these figures became alert, some actively retreating into the mental ocean, while others, more skilled and daring, sent their gaze towards him. After seeing his face, they fled in terror.

"Not necessarily," the guarding Heavenly Being said without elaborating further.

Ji Jingqiu narrowed his eyes, not necessarily?

After thanking him again, Ji Jingqiu crossed the dark universe and entered the gravitational pull of the Four Shrine Star, plummeting towards the location of the White Jade City.

During his descent, he felt the gazes of several Deity Generals upon him.

He respectfully returned the greeting, and the Deity Generals "nodded" in response from afar.

"If something really happens, how much can the Deity Generals help?" Ji Jingqiu asked in his heart.

Most of the Federation's divine power was restrained deep within the mental ocean.

Unexpectedly, as he approached the Four Shrine Star, Hera remained silent.

He was a little puzzled, but at this moment, he had already arrived at the White Jade City.

With a sweep of his mind, he located Dr. Chen and the others and exchanged thoughts with the Heavenly Beings stationed in the White Jade City.

Then, Ji Jingqiu first visited Dr. Chen, who recorded his summary of the spaceship's destruction, nodding and saying, "I understand now, thank you. Our current priority is to complete the adjustment of this spaceship."

Ji Jingqiu knew that this spaceship was of great importance for the Federation's defense and support from all parties.

"By the way, do you need another spaceship to return?" Dr. Chen asked, looking up.

Ji Jingqiu: "...That would be a bother."

After bidding farewell to Dr. Chen, Ji Jingqiu headed straight to the heart of the White Jade City, where Hera was being held captive.

Today, Hera was still immersed in her beautiful dreams, sleeping peacefully, befitting a dream goddess.

Ji Jingqiu summoned the long sword that had sealed Hera there with his mind.

A dull sword hum reverberated in Ji Jingqiu's spiritual perception, seemingly rusted and worn, yet its sound was sharp enough to cut through the river of time.

Ji Jingqiu's eyes shone with intensity.

That night, as he meditated in Sitting Forgetfulness, he saw sixteen spiritual lights and the Eye of the Sea, and at the deepest part, there was a sword light that seemed to divide the universe in half! He had been fortunate to witness the Xuan Yi senior a few times, but it was only now that he vaguely sensed the height of this person's cultivation. Even so, it was still hard to fathom, shrouded in mystery.

The 'Bitter Boat' senior was a Heavenly Sovereign-level divine weapon, but he didn't know what level Xuan Yi was.

According to Hera, to suppress her true body, it would take at least a True Saint.

The next moment, the green lamp that had been suspended above Ji Jingqiu's head suddenly appeared, radiating brilliance.

The sword and the lamp, like long-lost friends, carried joy and nostalgia, the sword humming like flowing water, and the lamp emitting a gentle light.

This scene caught Ji Jingqiu by surprise...

After a brief reunion, Xuan Yi turned his attention to Ji Jingqiu, showing a hint of surprise, and transmitted, "Have I been asleep for a long time? How many years has it been since we last met?"

Ji Jingqiu calculated, "The last time we met was over a year ago when I claimed the Eternal First Place and returned from the Nine Provinces."

Xuan Yi remained silent for a moment.

Ji Jingqiu spoke his mind, "Senior, I'd like to refer to Master He's 'One Qi into Three Pure' technique and create a clone to go to the Heavenly Saint Lake on my behalf."

After hearing Ji Jingqiu's detailed intentions, Xuan Yi pondered, "I can give it to you, but the starting point of this divine technique is at the Master level, and it cannot exist for long, so it cannot be used as a clone."

"I understand, it's just for reference," said Ji Jingqiu.

Xuan Yi didn't try to persuade him further and directly imprinted the divine technique into the depths of Ji Jingqiu's mind.

"Divine technique transformation is just a means, the source lies in the origin. In the end, Donghuang left behind only a handful of divine techniques, and the Return to One Technique is one of them. You should contemplate it deeply."

Ji Jingqiu was startled.

This Return to One Technique, which had once helped him greatly in the True Seed Realm, was now of little use to him.

But Master He used it until the end? "I understand, thank you for your guidance, Senior Xuan Yi," Ji Jingqiu said with a bow.

"It's no trouble. You mentioned going to the Heavenly Saint Lake?"

Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "Do you and Master He know something about the Heavenly Saint Lake?"

"The second True Saint of the Heavenly Saint Lake is named 'Unlawful,' a free-spirited individual who does not abide by social norms. He once had dealings with Donghuang and was one of the secret teachers of Huang Tian Ning Mingsheng."

The secret teacher of Huang Tian Ning Mingsheng?

Ji Jingqiu's thoughts raced, and he asked, "Do you know about the other True Saint at the Heavenly Saint Lake?"

"The other is named 'Abiding Truth,' whose foundation lies in the 'rules.'"

Ji Jingqiu was speechless.

One who defies all rules and another who strictly follows them—this was not just a case of two tigers not sharing the same mountain, but a fundamental clash of paths.

But on second thought, if it was the latter, he could cooperate with him and act within the 'rules,' ensuring a smooth and unhindered collaboration.
