NOVPUBWhat kind of adjective is this?
Long Qingyang added, "This news comes from the autobiography of a senior from the Heavenly Sword Dojo."
Ji Jingqiu pondered.
This senior doesn't seem like a good person.
"Is the opportunity within this half-plane useful to me?"
This was the issue that Ji Jingqiu was concerned about.
Having now advanced to an Innate Taoist Body, his Cultivation Body had reached its peak, and the environment of the Four Guardian Stars offered little help to him.
What could help him advance further now was the Spirit Ocean, following the path of lighting the lamp and witnessing the divine.
Long Qingyang hesitated:
"The opportunities within that half-plane are said to be numerous, but what exactly they are, I am not clear on, as I have never been there in my youth."
"Right..."
Long Qingyang seemed to remember a rumor, suddenly saying, "Have you ever heard of the exploits of Marshal Mu during his lifetime?"
"Which part are you referring to?"
"Of course, the part where Marshal Mu comprehended the ways of Heaven and Earth, witnessed the self among all beings, and initiated the embryonic form of the Supreme Divine Country."
"This secret history is still recorded in the autobiography of the first Daoist Master, which can only be viewed by successive Daoist Masters. Given your unique status, you will become a guardian of the dojo in the future, and thus are qualified to access it, but remember not to divulge it."
Long Qingyang stroked his beard, his gaze profound, and after instructing Ji Jingqiu in a low voice, he shared a secret,
"The autobiography of the first Ancestor Master records that among the Seven Marshals, speaking purely of combat power, Marshal He is unsurprisingly the highest, even exceedingly so – beyond compare!"
"And speaking of the height of the realm, in fact, it is Marshal Mu who went the furthest. Only half a step separated him from the Four Demons at that time!"
"The place where he laid the foundation of his Martial Arts, legend has it, was the Po Suo Half-plane."
Ji Jingqiu's mind was full of thoughts; could Marshal Mu's foundation in Martial Arts be referring to the Self-Generated Pure Land, lighting up the Supreme Wisdom Light?
"What is Marshal Mu's foundation in Martial Arts?"
As far as he knew, Marshal Mu didn't even engage in Body Refining.
Long Qingyang let out a light sigh, "Haven't you seen the Federation's Divine Skill List? The number one Visualization Map in the Federation, the Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization, is Marshal Mu's foundation in Martial Arts."
Ji Jingqiu came to a realization, "I have long heard of its great reputation."
Long Qingyang sighed lowly, "This Visualization Map is extraordinary. Unfortunately, for ten thousand years in the Federation, no one has been able to cultivate it, and even the Supreme Grandmasters have not been able to comprehend its wonders."
Ji Jingqiu fell silent for a moment.
Dammit, now he really had to go.
It was time to "return" home.
When it came to Visualization Maps, Long Qingyang asked,
"Did you say before, after achieving the Innate Taoist Body, that you had acquired the ability to Copy Taoist Bodies?"
Ji Jingqiu nodded; he had narrated the transformation he experienced after proving his Innate Taoist Body to Long Qingyang.
"After some time, I will have someone send over a divine intent rubbings of the Dragon Tiger Cloud Map."
Long Qingyang nodded slightly,
"Take a look and see if you can comprehend it. If you can, not only will it help you in Copying the Dragon Tiger Taoist Body, but it will also give you an advantage in seeking spiritual mechanisms in the Divine Travel Realm."
"Remember, do not rush your breakthrough into Divine Travel. Wait until the Great Martial Arts Competition begins."
Ji Jingqiu nodded, as Senior He had also left a message reminding him of this.
The entrance threshold to the Inheritance Ancient Road of the Nine States does not consider age, only realm; only those below the Divine Travel Realm may enter.
Moreover, he had not yet beheld the divine in the realm of Martial Arts; he had not yet polished the True Seed Realm to perfection and was not rushing to break through to Divine Travel.
"This generation of yours has caught up with a good time," Long Qingyang spoke profoundly, "in previous years, the search for spiritual mechanisms in the Divine Travel Realm does not account for whether you are a genius or not; it's a process of grinding away and also dependent on luck. Taking five or six years would be considered quick."
Ji Jingqiu had already heard about the slow progress of the Divine Travel Realm from Zhuang Yanxing of the Heavenly Mechanism Dojo.
The path of Federation Martial Arts, Body Refining, and True Seed are like riding a rocket, but starting from Divine Travel, the speed will slow down dramatically.
This period is also called the plateau period.
Body Refining and True Seed establish the foundation of Martial Arts,
And the Divine Travel Realm is the beginning of becoming a deity.
This step is immensely significant and involves capturing the Heaven and Earth spiritual mechanisms to fill oneself. Due to the rules of the Great Universe, these mechanisms are difficult to find, and many genius martial artists staying in this realm for five or six years is not considered long.
This is also called the first plateau period that martial artists encounter.
"According to the current understanding of the Federation, the Inheritance Ancient Road is teeming with Heaven and Earth spiritual mechanisms. All participants from past generations, after entering the Ancient Road, will advance from the True Seed to Divine Travel in a short time and then search extensively for Heaven and Earth spiritual mechanisms..."
Ji Jingqiu understood what this meant; he could use the Ancient Road to quickly get past the plateau period.
According to the records left by Senior He, reaching the end of the Ancient Road might even see martial artists of his own generation in the Chains Realm.
"Ancestor Master, I have made up my mind; heading to the Po Suo Half-plane does not conflict with entering the Inheritance Ancient Road early."
"The seed battle will commence in two weeks," affirmed Long Qingyang. After all, the young man wanted it all.
"Speaking of which, Ancestor Master, I recently felt like something was missing while cultivating my Divine Skills."
Ji Jingqiu suddenly said.
He had solidified his recent transformation and contemplated the mysteries of the Taoist Body, realising that the cultivation of Divine Skills was extremely slow, as if something was missing.
Long Qingyang was not surprised, as if he had been prepared, and casually retrieved a box from the void, handing it to him: 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"This item is known as Divine Remains; you should consume it regularly every day."
"The Chains Realm is also known as the realm of impecunious ghosts because the cultivation of Divine Skills requires a vast nourishment of Divine Remains, which is a bottomless pit."
"The dojo will support you in nurturing your Innate Divine Power, but once you reach the Chains Realm, beyond a fixed share, you will have to fend for yourself."
The realm of impecunious ghosts...
Ji Jingqiu didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Alright, let's go and take a look at that Daoist gateway of yours."
Long Qingyang stood up, his eyes flashing with an unusual light, quite interested in the gateway left by Marshal He as mentioned by Ji Jingqiu.
