Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 133 - 107: In the Absence of Heroes, Mediocrity Rises to Fame_2

"That Heavenly Human Dao Body?" Ji Anyu's gaze was intense, "You've cultivated the Heavenly Person Swordsmanship, can't you find the location of that Daoist Collection?"

Marshal Ji Anquan said sternly:

"Cousin, you should have guessed, that Daoist Collection was left behind by Marshal He!"

"Just because of this, it is impossible for the Daoist Collection to fall into the hands of anyone from the Six Great Families!"

Ji Anyu lamented, "Then do you plan to participate in this generation's Martial Arts competition?"

Ji Anquan laughed derisively, "Cousin, even if I wanted to participate, would those old immortals allow it?"

He shook his head and said, "It is an act with no benefits, only risks. If we lose, it would tarnish our Ji Family's reputation, and outsiders would only say, after all these years, no one has cultivated Marshal Ji's legacy, is this all? If we win, no one would be surprised, instead, they would take it for granted."

Ji Anyu remained silent.

"By the way, cousin, have you heard the news? The Sixth Limit has been opened, just wait a bit longer for the rules to meld, then all Five Limit Martial Artists will be able to ascend to the Sixth Limit," suddenly mentioned Ji Anquan.

"The Sixth Limit?!" Ji Anyu's eyes showed shock, "Wasn't it supposed to be about a hundred years from now? Did the Four Guardian Stars really manage to make it happen?"

He thought to himself that he must notify Ji Jingqiu promptly, reminding him to wait a bit longer, to break through the Sixth Limit before forging the Cultivation Body!

"It has nothing to do with those people," Ji Anquan snorted with scorn, "A bunch of incompetent fools, would you really expect them to pave a way forward for the Federation? It was Senior Zhuang Butong who succeeded."

"Zhuang Butong? That Senior Zhuang succeeded?"

Ji Anyu was stunned, he remembered that name.

Thirty years ago, the name had caused quite a sensation.

"Mm, not only did he succeed, but he also became favored by the Four Great Divine Masters."

Ji Anquan's eyes twinkled as he said,

"The Li Family went mad for some reason, wanting him dead, but no one expected the Four Great Divine Masters to suddenly issue a decree. Not only was he unaffected, but he also transformed into a Priest of the Divine Lord Temple, while that person from the Li Family received a heavy punishment from his clan."

"Which person from the Li Family?" Ji Anyu couldn't help but ask.

Naturally, the movements of the other great families were of great concern to these Ji Family youths.

Ji Anquan revealed the nature of someone who loved watching the excitement: "Heh, it was originally supposed to be Li Xuantian, but for some reason, it changed to our peer, Li Yingtian, which infuriated Li Xuantian. He got into a fight with the Li Family Elders' Council and has now been suppressed. I don't know how he'll be dealt with next."

Ji Anyu pondered, "Li Yingtian... That medicine pot of the Li Family?"

"Correct, born under an ominous sign, he was originally hopeful to inherit Marshal Li's legacy."

When mentioning this person, Ji Anquan did not take pleasure in his misfortune, instead, he felt some pity:

"This person was born with a resonance with the Wilderness, it's just a pity that he carries a curse, making it hopeless for him to learn Martial Arts. However, I've heard..."

He paused and narrowed his eyes, saying, "This person seems to be able to Divine Travel to the far side of the Wilderness."

Ji Anyu's pupils contracted sharply, and he blurted out, "How is that possible?!"

Ji Anquan smiled, "I also think it's impossible, but after checking the Li Family's recent movements, I found that the Li Family Elders may have ulterior motives this time. It seems they are forcing their uncle and nephew to make a certain decision. Of course, this is just my speculation, pure guesswork without solid evidence."

Although his cousin only claimed to be making wild guesses, Ji Anyu took it seriously.

Just because the clan records state that Martial Artists who have cultivated the Heavenly Person Swordsmanship can catch glimpses of the Heavenly Mechanism!

Before Ji Anyu could ponder further, Ji Anquan threw out another piece of news: "By the way, cousin, you know a young man named Ji Jingqiu, right?"

Ji Anyu looked up in surprise, "Where did you hear this name from?"

His cousin, now gradually taking over the family's power, could hardly have heard a name not worth mention, let alone one that he remembered.

"It is said that this person contributed greatly during Senior Zhuang Butong's effort to open the Sixth Limit," Ji Anquan said with interest, "I did some checking and found that he is actually related to our cousin. I suspected it was your arrangement."

Ah?

Ji Jingqiu made a great contribution to Senior Zhuang Butong's opening of the Sixth Limit?

Ji Anyu looked bewildered.

Hadn't he counted correctly? Wasn't it just two weeks before and after Ji Jingqiu went to the Four Guardian Stars?

In two weeks, mastering Superior Visualization Maps, fully absorbing taboo knowledge, and still having time to help Senior Zhuang Butong to open the Sixth Limit?

Who planned his schedule?

"Since he's your man, I won't compete for him. I was originally thinking of sending someone to try to recruit him," Ji Anquan shook his head, "Seeing such talents is like seeing rare treasures, I can't help wanting to gather them all under my command."

"What I'm really curious about now is which Martial Artist dares to be the first to challenge the entity on the seventh level."

Ji Anquan's eyes shone with a sharp light, "This is the strongest title in ten thousand years, I don't believe no one will compete for it!"

"Are you speaking of the seventh layer of White Jade City?" Ji Anyu said solemnly, "It's tough. That one has indeed attained the status of a Martial Arts God. Even if someone from this generation breaks through the Sixth Limit, with a physical advantage, it's still hard to bridge the vast gap in martial prowess."

"Whether it's difficult or not is one thing, whether someone will go there is another matter," Ji Anquan said with a smile. "This era has been designated as the third Age of Great Struggle countless years ago. Now it seems that the Sixth Limit may be the harbinger. If under such circumstances no one can overcome that individual, it would be disappointingly anticlimactic."

"Let's not talk about this, we shall just wait calmly for the results."

Ji Anquan took the initiative to change the subject:

"Cousin, do you know why the vice-chairman came to see me just now?"

"Isn't it for the election?"

Ji Anquan shook his head and said directly, "Besides the election, he was also probing whether the Ji Family has taken action against that newly risen master in East 3 District."

Hearing this, Ji Anyu fell silent.

A newly emerged Heavenly Human Martial Artist mysteriously vanished, an incident that set off a major uproar among the upper echelons of the Federation, garnering a lot of criticism towards the Ji Family for excessive high-handedness.

But this time, it really wasn't the Ji Family who had acted. They were unjustly blamed!

"Has this matter not been clarified yet?"

"We have been investigating for a long time, and in the end, we could only recover a short segment of the footage from inside the house. There was nothing in the footage except a sentence that we suspect was deliberately left by the strong figure who intervened."

"What was the sentence?"

Ji Anquan fell silent for a moment, his tone ethereal as he repeated the eight words revealed in the footage:

"In times with no heroes, mediocrities rise to fame."

...

...

In a moment of trance,

Ji Jingqiu regained consciousness.

In the recent battle, he had not dodged or evaded, withstanded the Five Fists of the seventh layer's individual, and with a knife cut off their arm!

Unfortunately, he did not expect that even without their most skillful right fist, they still seized the opportunity with their left fist to send him away.

After coming out, Ji Jingqiu lay in the Mind Cabin reflecting.

Taking that individual as a reference, he always felt that something crucial was missing in his own swordsmanship.

Combat Skill achieving Great Success, small achievement, only represent a degree of proficiency and mastery over the Combat Skill or the theoretical might it can unleash.

But real combat is not turn-based, nor is it a comparison of numbers. Some say fighting is an art, and how to grasp the moment and adapt flexibly in combat is key.

This is the true essence of martial prowess.

Emerging from the Mind Cabin, Ji Jingqiu prepared to check out the virtual arena to relax a bit.

Upon exiting, his gaze locked onto a figure.

"Is it really impossible? Damn it, why is there only one chance for a challenge each day?"

Ji Jingqiu subconsciously nodded in agreement, deeply sympathizing.

He also felt that one chance per day was far too unsatisfactory.

Not far away, a woman from the Wilderness Sect was badgering a staff member non-stop, the latter saying helplessly:

"I'm sorry, madam, these are the rules; everyone is the same. After all, this is a free basic public service."

The woman seemed indignant, pointing at a distance and saying, "Then why can those few people challenge repeatedly? I've been watching them for a long time; they've been inside the whole morning!"

Repeated challenges?

Ji Jingqiu stopped in his tracks and pricked up his ears.

The staff member hesitated, "Perhaps, they indeed fought the entire morning?"

The Wilderness Sect woman spat out disdainfully, "Those guys are indeed strong, but to hold out a whole morning at the seventh layer? They wish!"

Again, Ji Jingqiu agreed, although he did not know who those individuals were, to entertain the thought of holding out a whole morning in the seventh layer sounded utterly fanciful!

The staff member looked around, seeing no one nearby, whispered, "Miss, there's no point in arguing with me, it's useless. Ordinary people get one chance a day because this is a free public service, but those individuals are the chosen ones from the most elite dojos. They have special privileges."

Ji Jingqiu thoughtfully dialed Uncle Master Song Youde's number.

If only I knew earlier.
