Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 131 - 106 Future Buddha

I can now lead someone into meditation...

Ji Jingqiu felt a sense of wonder and quietly closed the door as he left.

The functionality of this Zen Meditation Seal once again exceeded his expectations, truly worthy of being a secret technique from the Fire House Buddha Hell.

After returning to the training room, Ji Jingqiu entered the Inner Realm world.

He had sensed it earlier, that wisp of black fog, upon entering his Inner Realm, suddenly surged with power, seizing his lifeline, overwhelming, as if a Heavenly Demon descended, and then...

There was no 'then'.

In the Pure Land, the Bodhi Tree swayed its branches and leaves, scattering cleansing light. Two Fatty Hus chased and frolicked under the tree, the nearby pond was crystal clear to the bottom, rippling slightly.

This harmonious scene made Ji Jingqiu's brows relax, feeling a tranquil peace in his spirit.

As for the black fog, it had been "eaten" by the Bodhi Tree as fertilizer; the latter's leaves had increased to forty-eight, with two of them supported by the Supreme True Buddha during this time.

This was the second type of fertilizer that Ji Jingqiu had come across.

If the Supreme True Buddha knew, he would fold his hands and sigh, "My way is not alone."

Just then, a message from Zhou Zhongda arrived.

[I've looked into it, this woman is from the Wilderness Sect. She probably wanted to see if you, having been with Zhuang Butong for a long time, have caught the attention of certain things.]

[The Wilderness Sect is quite unique. If you don't want to get involved with them, just directly refuse their recruitment when the time comes; they are marked as gray in the Administration Bureau system.]

A member of the Wilderness Sect?

Doesn't that mean they are with Elder Mu and Mei?

And some of those things mentioned must be Dream Demons, right?

Old Zhou still thinks I know nothing.

Ji Jingqiu criticized internally.

The Administration Bureau internally categorizes illegal underground associations into three tiers: gray, black, and red.

Gray is unavoidable, and over the millennia, there has not only been an abundance of gray cases, but their numbers continue to grow.

It's worth mentioning that the former Supreme True Buddha Sect also fell under the gray category.

As for now, it is naturally black, marked for significant apprehension.

And red refers to those who betray human interests and humanity, the "traitors".

Has the Wilderness Sect also infiltrated the Four Guardian Stars? What about the Supreme True Buddha Sect?

Ji Jingqiu prepared to "go online" to contact Bone Arhat to catch up on the latest developments.

…

…

After sending the message to Ji Jingqiu, Zhou Zhongda walked into a dimly lit interrogation room, impatiently saying to his own people:

"What can you expect to get from such a devout believer? Just open his head for me!"

The prisoner, who had been silent and uncommunicative, suddenly raised his head at that moment, his eyes staring straight at Zhou Zhongda.

The latter raised an eyebrow, mockingly said, "What, you want to glare me to death? Better call your God to come then."

One could see the prisoner's face twitching continuously, Zhou Zhongda's face darkened, he stepped forward and ripped open the prisoner's shirt, discovering that the veins and muscles all over the prisoner's body had bulged.

His lips, seemingly twisted by some force, uttered delirious and mad words:

"The great Master of Black Fog is about to descend. He is the cornerstone of all transformations, the aggregation of all phenomena. Everything not of Him will be trampled by all spirits…"

His words, like a chilling wind, made one's heart turn cold. However, Zhou Zhongda, having seen such types before, wasn't frightened, just found it noisy.

He seemed to predict the man's fate, pulled his colleague to leave, discussing the serious matter of what to eat next.

His colleague, still puzzled, looked back and saw a horrifying scene.

Just behind them, the prisoner, securely locked to a chair, suddenly went through violent convulsions, then was transformed into a human husk, his flesh unknowingly drained as though a sacrificial ritual had unfolded before their eyes.

"Calm down, this fellow had long made a pact with his god, only the final sacrifice step was left."

Zhou Zhongda said indifferently, without turning back and sighed,

"Why do those beings in the depth of the wilderness, who lack physical bodies, so fancy the flesh and blood of martial artists as sacrifices?"

Another colleague couldn't help but ask, "What do we do next?"

"Well, what can we do?" Zhou Zhongda said disdainfully, "Notify the Military Department to thoroughly review the past entry records, although it's almost useless, finding or not finding is their problem, reminding them is our responsibility."

"Right, I'll go talk to someone from the Wilderness Sect later, see what they know," Zhou Zhongda considered.

"Wilderness Sect?" His colleague exclaimed, "You actually found their whereabouts? These guys are elusive, very hard to trace."

Zhou Zhongda, stroking his chin's stubble, murmured:

"Actually… they aren't that hard to find?"

…

…

[Bone Arhat]: Hmm… aren't you our infiltrator in the Four Guardian Stars?

[Bone Arhat]: I was thinking of contacting you recently. Those cults have been quite active, apparently planning something big in the Four Guardian Stars. Keep your distance from them.

Ji Jingqiu:(一`′一)

Great, the Supreme True Buddha Sect is calling others a cult and telling me to stay away!

Is it just a contrast by professions?

Moments later, Ji Jingqiu got the key point from Bone Arhat.

The Supreme True Buddha's goal is to become the only Buddha in the world, therefore, those existences in the depths of the wilderness are its enemies.

If Ji Jingqiu could disrupt those heretics' plans, not only would he avoid trouble, he would also receive an accolade from the Supreme True Buddha.

Having understood this fundamental logic.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but marvel.

Is the Supreme True Buddha Sect's intention really this grand?

Having the whole world as an enemy?

Can't they maintain better surface relations with their peers?

At least keep up the appearance of harmonious relations.

Backstabbing behind closed doors is another matter altogether.

[Ji]: I want detailed intelligence on them; I am willing to dedicate myself to the True Buddha!

[Bone Arhat]: ...There's no need for that, your current primary task is to infiltrate the core layer of the Dragon Tiger Dojo and obtain a divine item for the True Buddha.

A divine item?

This was Ji Jingqiu's first time hearing the specific plans of the Supreme True Buddha Sect from Bone Arhat.

[Ji]: This matter could potentially elevate my status within the dojo.

[Bone Arhat]: How so?

[Ji]: It's difficult to explain in detail, please just trust me!

[Bone Arhat]: ...Alright, I will try to investigate their plans, though it's predictable without checking - just another boring plan trying to exploit some loophole to awaken the one beneath the Four Guardian Stars.

What a sharp critique!

[Bone Arhat]: Ji Jingqiu, have you partaken in lighting the Human Candle since joining our sect?

Ji Jingqiu's expression turned stern.

The Human Candle was precisely the reason why the Supreme True Buddha Sect was fully wanted by the Administration Bureau, marking the sect's complete shift to another domain.

He pondered for a moment before responding.

[Ji]: I have joined only recently and haven't found the opportunity yet.

[Bone Arhat]: Good, remember, do not light the Human Candle! And try to reduce contact with Blood Arhat Li Buyi!

Seeing this response, Ji Jingqiu was stunned; he hadn't expected Bone Arhat to advise him like this.

[Bone Arhat]: Lighting the Human Candle is the choice for those with mediocre talents. If you do it, you will never become a Buddha's Son!

[Ji]: Senior Li Buyi also said I could become a Buddha's Son.

[Bone Arhat]: Heh, the Buddha's Son he speaks of is to make you the Physical Body Buddha, a vessel to carry the power of the True Buddha. The Buddha's Son I speak of is the true Buddha's Son, who will inherit the True Buddha Lineage and become the Future Buddha of the Po Suo World!

Future Buddha?

Ji Jingqiu was astonished; such a position existed?

[Ji]: Please enlighten me, senior!

[Bone Arhat]: Are you familiar with the history of the Supreme True Buddha Sect?

[Ji]: Somewhat.

[Bone Arhat]: Then do you know about the 'Ancient Method Sect'?

Ji Jingqiu recalled, remembering that the Supreme True Buddha Sect was divided into two factions internally.

One faction adhered to the ancient methods.

The other faction tried to pioneer new laws and created the Supreme True Buddha for salvation.

The latter even utilized the residual spiritual core of Mu Heshan's own child.

[Ji]: Senior, are you from the Ancient Method Sect, adhering to the ancient traditions?

[Bone Arhat]: Correct, the New Law Sect hides filth and even though it has strengthened our sect's power, it has mired the True Buddha in chaotic turmoil. To turn the tide, we must reform and innovate!

[Bone Arhat]: And assisting you into the core layer of the Dragon Tiger Dojo is the first step in our plan!

Ji Jingqiu remained silent.

— About the years when cult members tried to persuade me to join them in reforming and rescuing the sect from disaster.

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

It was somewhat abstract.

He hadn't expected Bone Arhat to be such an aspiring figure.

Ji Jingqiu tried to probe about the so-called divine item.

But Bone Arhat did not respond directly, only mentioning that he would know when the time comes.

In what seemed like an attempt to "hook" him, Bone Arhat revealed a bit of secret information to him.

[Bone Arhat]: If you can obtain the inheritance of the Po Suo World, there's hope for you to become a Great Grandmaster!

Ji Jingqiu refused to bite on this pie in the sky.

A very simple reason; the Supreme True Buddha Sect has yet to produce a Grandmaster.

After ending the call, Ji Jingqiu did not rush to leave the Buddha Country.

He opened the internal merit point trading network of the Supreme True Buddha Sect, looking for inheritances like the Zen Meditation Seal.

He also found mention of the [Po Suo World] as described by Bone Arhat.

[Po Suo World]: Divine Power Seed, capable of evolving a personal Heaven and Earth Dojo.

After the divine, comes Divine Skills!

Just looking at the terrifying merit points required, Ji Jingqiu thought that even if ten Blood Arhats came together, they wouldn't be able to afford it.

It seemed the only way to obtain these inheritances was through the direct favor of the True Buddha.

In the following days, Ji Jingqiu maintained his daily practice progress.

...

This afternoon.

After Ji Jingqiu had absorbed the knowledge of three new prohibitions, regrettably, no opportunities like the previous one with a rabbit occurred.

Upon standing, he prepared to head to White Jade City.

After these past few days of refinement, he felt his martial skills were about to take a crucial step forward, ready to carve out his own path.
