Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree
Chapter 1310 - 463: The Only True Realm, Ancient Flow Reveals the Essence
One day the moon illuminates the four continents, encompassing all beings of the Six Paths, known as a "small world."
A thousand small worlds make up a "Small Thousand World."
And so on.
Ultimately, one "Great Thousand World" contains a thousand Medium Thousand Worlds.
However, the term "three thousand Great Thousand Worlds" does not mean there are three thousand great worlds, but rather it denotes that a Great Thousand World includes small, medium, and large "thousand worlds," hence called "three thousand."
Theoretically, a Great Thousand World encompasses one billion small worlds, thus reaching this level is tantamount to "infinity."
Ji Jingqiu was hesitating, vacillating, since this kind of Inner Universe structure is truly vast and immensely grand.
To try to promote and open up a billion small worlds, from zero to infinity, even Ji Jingqiu could not see the end in sight for a time.
According to his understanding, Master Mu's constructed Inner Universe structure was the "Ten Directions World."
"Ten Directions World" means traversing the world of Void, reaching infinite cosmos of all worlds, hence called ten directions infinite.
More grand than the "three thousand Great Thousand Worlds," containing not only the infinity of space but also the time of past, present, and future.
This path is also the ultimate point of the Formless road.
From everything to emptiness, finally reaching the realm of Great Shape without form, oneself is harmonized without hindrance, clear and complete, penetrating heaven and earth, spreading across ten directions.
Yet Ji Jingqiu does not intend to follow Master Mu's path.
Master Mu also thinks so, because no matter what, his path has already failed.
"Three thousand Great Thousand Worlds, a billion small worlds..."
Ji Jingqiu quietly gazed at the smooth jade bead lying in his hand.
Constructing countless worlds, even merely the Heaven and Earth Creation, setting the Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water is arduous enough to make one's scalp numb, let alone perfecting the Dao afterward and the reproduction of living beings...
Since he couldn't see the possibility from zero to infinity, then is it possible from one to myriad?
A bold idea sprouted in his mind.
Perhaps he could create a single true world, becoming the center of all heavens and myriad worlds, also the origin of everything, and then reflect all heavens, splitting and deriving the projection of myriad worlds?
To achieve this step, then "a single true world" is paramount.
It must be powerful enough to support the projection of myriad worlds.
Ji Jingqiu gazed from afar at the mountain within the Inner Realm world, where the cosmic architecture of Sumeru Mountain hovered in his mind.
"The prime necessity is to have the sun and moon in heavenly sky.."
"And then 'Sumeru' holds the center; eight mountains and eight seas encircle it, submerging eight thousand yojanas in water, emerging above water as high as eight thousand yojanas, with equal vertical and horizontal extent, water is the Eight Virtues Water..."
"Herein, 'Sumeru' is both the cosmic pillar and the illusion of heart nature."
"...Using Wuwang to replace Sumeru, eight mountains and eight seas replaced by Nether Sea, forming a mountain-sea structure, thus Wuwang Mountain and Heartless Sea are manifest within this realm."
Ji Jingqiu's eyes sparkled; countless thoughts and inspirations blossomed in his mind, his spirit stirred, eager to find a place to sit down and enter seclusion to verify his ideas.
Not long after.
Standing on the snake's head, Ji Jingqiu saw the "outpost" jointly opened by several sects within the Transcendence Gate.
It was a mountain suspended in the Void, neither falling nor sinking.
The mountain body was entirely like ink, shimmering with a faint blue light, while the void in the shadows below rippled like a water surface, as if some creature was swimming below.
When You Lan carried Ji Jingqiu closer, the void below clearly showed signs of boiling; massive figures of unknown creatures emerged, watching them warily.
After glancing at the void below, You Lan no longer paid direct attention.
Curious, Ji Jingqiu asked, and the little creature haughtily declared that it does not "play" with beings of low bloodlines.
For a moment, Ji Jingqiu was speechless, patting its head, thinking that if not counting the long sleep in the egg, You Lan's childishness is reasonable; after all, it's still a child.
The pair approached the outpost, quickly attracting the attention of the guard.
Ji Jingqiu dismounted from the snake's head, and You Lan performed the Wishful Size transformation, shrinking to finger-length, coiling atop Ji Jingqiu's head, curious and observing around, reluctant to return to the Inner Heaven for now.
Ji Jingqiu indulged it, walking forward to present his identity.
After verifying his identity, the Dao Ancestor stationed there politely addressed:
"So it is Ji, a junior brother from the Primordial Palace. Does the Primordial Palace have plans to settle in the Void Realm?"
Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "For now, it's just me. If convenient, please help relay a message to the palace."
"A small thing, just raising a hand."
This Dao Ancestor, those with the Dao name Shou Ji, appeared middle-aged, smiling like a refreshing spring breeze, giving a feeling of friendliness.
Ji Jingqiu sensed that this person must have practiced some Secret Technique, but it doesn't directly change others' perceptions, instead subtly altering his own aura, making others more easily harbor fondness for him.
"Primordial Palace leading this epoch concluded their isolation first; will that Ancestor Master from your noble palace personally visit the Void Realm this time to collect 'Void Origin'?"
Shou Ji asked with a smile.
"Uncle Master Qin might not come here." Ji Jingqiu curiously asked again, "Is this Void Origin referring to the Dao Rhyme left by the Void within Heaven and Earth?"
Unexpectedly, Shou Ji's expression changed rapidly, looking around vigilantly as if something terrifying were about to happen.
Moments later, confirming peace in all directions, Shou Ji exhaled, putting away the jade tablet he was prepared to crush at any moment, looking at Ji Jingqiu with astonishment, warning:
"Junior Brother Ji, do not utter that name here alone, especially when reciting those two words, absolutely do not envision that one's existence in your mind, otherwise there might be a heavenly disaster!"
"This time we are lucky."
Ji Jingqiu was taken aback, able to directly refer to Void Origin, yet unable to utter that name singly?
