Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 126 - 103: Demonstration at Various Dojos, Am I the Referee? (Small 5k)_3

"To comprehend the Formless True Intent from All Phenomena, the first thing to do is to appreciate the wonders of All Phenomena."

"Indeed... This Taoist Body is indeed well-suited for you."

"In practicing this technique, you must travel far and wide, spar with peers, and witness the marvels of the vast world."

Ji Jingqiu took the lesson to heart again.

"On behalf of your master, let me ask you this, do you have any goals for what comes next?"

"I have several; one is to strive to forge a Cultivation Body within three months, and the second is to defeat that individual on the seventh level of the White Jade City, ascend to the eighth level, and incidentally hone my martial arts skills."

"Oh?" Bai Lu couldn't help but reveal a smile, "You want to defeat the person on the seventh level?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded.

He pondered that with his current strength, even if there is still a large gap in martial arts with that individual, his physical body should have made up for some of the disparity.

Just a bit more enhancement on the martial arts aspect, and defeating the one on the seventh level will be within reach!

Bai Lu was about to ask with a smile, "Do you know who that person is?"

But then, on second thought,

His heart stirred.

That individual on the seventh level is indeed invincible; before reaching the Cultivation Body, they have already seen the Martial Arts God, a feat that shakes both the past and the present.

But this Ji, their nephew, is not lacking either. He had just used Divine Thought to carefully inspect Ji Jingqiu's body and confirmed that this youngster had inadvertently developed the rudiments of a human body Taoist Dojo!

This is unprecedented in the history of the Dragon Tiger Dojo.

It's significant enough to warrant its own chapter in the history of the dojo.

It is difficult to tell who is stronger or weaker between the two.

Bai Lu contemplated the odds of Ji Jingqiu's victory and said:

"Combat between martial artists should not be purely for victory or defeat; it is more important to learn something from your opponent."

"Since you aim to defeat the one on the seventh level, why not treat them as your sharpening stone to temper your martial arts?"

Speaking of which, Bai Lu shook his head: "In fact, that is the true purpose of White Jade City's existence. By preserving the silhouettes of the strongest from each era as a reference for future martial artists, it is not to show you how strong the others are, but for you to realize where you are lacking."

Of course, that individual, in the stages of Body Refining and True Seed Realm, was a tad too formidable.

Bai Lu paused, not voicing these thoughts, but something seemed to have occurred to him, and he added:

"In some time, the various dojos will hold a joint demonstration, and you might as well participate as a referee."

Ji Jingqiu was about to nod when his expression suddenly became vague:

"A referee?"

Wasn't it to participate in the demonstration?

Bai Lu's face seemed to carry a hint of amusement: "This demonstration limits those before achieving a Cultivation Body. Having you compete would be too much of a bullying act. Serving as a referee is just right for you; enhancing martial arts isn't just about fighting but also watching more battles is another way."

Ji Jingqiu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Your performance just now was very satisfying to me." Bai Lu pondered for a moment, "I was originally thinking of gifting you the Mystical Weapon I had once used, but since you already have one, let's choose something else."

Mystical Weapon?

Ji Jingqiu caressed the hilt of the Green Master's blade, was it referring to the Green Master?

Bai Lu thought for a moment, showing a rare moment of hesitation.

The disciple before him was certainly among the strongest in the history of the Dragon Tiger Dojo, and naturally, such a disciple should be given special treatment on behalf of the dojo.

It's just a pity that this child did not possess the Dragon Tiger Taoist Body and couldn't inherit the dojo's legacy; otherwise, he indeed had the intention to petition…

Considering Ji Jingqiu's recent revelation of the "dojo rudiment", Bai Lu finally made a decision.

He spoke with a solemn expression:

"Seeing how you are consciously sculpting and transforming your physical body to resemble the mountains and rivers, you can be considered to have a connection with my Martial Arts path; thus, I will gift you a 'Heaven and Earth Mountains and Rivers Map.'"

Hearing this, several high-ranking individuals showed a slight change in their expressions.

That was one of the core elements of Master Bai Lu's own Martial Arts path!

"In my earlier years, I traveled across Federation planets, observing mountains and rivers, crafting six 'Heaven and Earth Mountains and Rivers Map' as the core of my Martial Arts path. Gifting you all of them at once is not feasible, and you wouldn't be able to bear them. Today, I will choose one to give you."

"You may refer to this map to sculpt the mountains and rivers within you; it should bring you great benefits."

Hearing that the map could assist in sculpting the inner Qi of his own body, Ji Jingqiu was overjoyed.

This was precisely what he needed!

His body's current mountains and rivers Qi was becoming more prominent, but he also encountered a problem: he didn't know how to proceed.

"Thank you, Master!"

Bai Lu reached out and touched Ji Jingqiu's brow with Divine Will Inheritance, imprinting a map of the mountains and rivers into Ji Jingqiu's mind.

After that,

Ji Jingqiu seized the opportunity to consult Master Bai Lu about some key issues in forging a Cultivation Body.

These issues were also on the "manual," but nothing compares to the Master's personal explanation!

Bai Lu patiently answered one by one and gave him some instructions.

Some of these instructions were as per Zhou Zhongda's reminders, all telling him to be careful of some unknown individuals in the days to come.

Before leaving,

Ji Jingqiu took the opportunity to privately ask Master Bai Lu a question.

"Master, if no one had protected Senior Zhuang, how would the Federation's history have described the development of the Sixth Limit?"

Bai Lu gave him a deep look, did not answer his question, but instead asked him:

"Do you know about the death of Marshal He?"

Ji Jingqiu fell silent; the hidden meaning behind this sentence and the answer he had guessed beforehand were no different.

— History is decided by those in power.
