Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 136 - 109 Heavenly Person Communication, Enlightenment_2

Diao Xingyun's heart was shocked, indeed he was not wrong!

The momentum of Ji Jingqiu's saber contained a subtle hint of that seventh-level master, most likely influenced through countless exchanges and unconscious assimilation.

Yet, it lacked a lot in smoothness and completion.

Ultimately, what seemed flawless relied not on his own Martial Arts cultivation, but purely on his physical strength.

Diao Xingyun sighed to himself.

Pure strength and pure speed, in this man's hands, were interpreted to the utmost simplicity of Dao, how could this not be the embodiment of Martial Arts?

Unfortunately...

Diao Xingyun took a step back, his left hand holding the spear on the ground, and his right hand hidden in his sleeve, spoke aloud:

"Ji, your saber technique still lacks your personal touch, I see the shadows of many individuals, even that from the seventh level, but there is nothing of you!"

"You have taken the wrong path, the second step after Melting Ten Thousand Skills is to refine the 'one' that is uniquely yours!"

"Ji, observe carefully, this is my path, my path of Martial Arts is to advance relentlessly and never bend!"

In a clear and piercing shout, Diao Xingyun raised his spear diagonally towards the sky, his gaze calm and profound, his momentum suddenly surging, like a spear that would pierce the heavens, the spear like a Flood Dragon breaking through the waves, indomitable, fiercely thrusting out!

With this spear, Ji Jingqiu felt Diao Xingyun's unique Martial Dao will—

To live a life, like the autumn of grass and trees, only to strive with great vigor and resolve all grudges without ever bowing down!

Under this spear, there was a semblance of the seventh-level master's grandeur, invincible, with Ji Jingqiu's eyes blazing, he simply abandoned evasion, allowing the spear to pierce into his right shoulder, penetrating the copper skin, but stopped by the bone.

Hearing the sound of the spear tip and bone emitting a sound like that of metal clashing, Diao Xingyun expressionlessly withdrew his spear.

He exhaled, planted the spear on the ground, and looked at Ji Jingqiu's healing shoulder as if it had just been a demonstration, with an unchanged expression, he asked:

"Ji, have you realized something?"

Damn White Jade City system, what kind of trashy spear did it provide, only with an ultimate skill could he barely wound this guy, if it had been his [West Hunting], no matter how strong Ji Jingqiu's physique, it would definitely be pierced with one spear!

Ji Jingqiu lowered his head, looking at the spear wound on his shoulder, deeply embedded in the flesh and trapped by the bone, his heart stirred.

Although the wound was healing, it was very slow due to a certain special power imbued within it.

It was Heart Electricity, yet far more than that.

Just from this one spear, his understanding of Diao Xingyun, went from never having met to knowing him profoundly.

He finally knew what he was missing.

These days, with the help of the weaponry in Dragon Tiger Dojo, he had practiced and mastered hundreds of saber techniques, some were majestic, some fierce and domineering, others were cunning and unpredictable, hiding lethality...

He thought he had reached the pinnacle of Melting Hundred Skills, yet he had overlooked the refinement of "self."

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu slowly closed his eyes.

What is my Martial Dao?

Initially, it was just the desire to survive, but now it was mixed with so much more, humans are indeed greedy creatures, always yearning for better things upon improvement.

But Ji Jingqiu didn't dislike this about himself.

On the contrary, he was quite content.

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Content with his continual progress, content with his increasingly passionate longing for life, even content with this greed and yearning for everything beautiful.

At this very moment.

Some images, some things, slowly flowed through his mind...

The helplessness of his parents when he was young, the years of his struggles and resilience, the sense of comfort after clearing out the food street and lying on the roadside bench, the ecstasy of successfully visualizing Fire House Buddha Hell, the resolve to save people during a terrorist attack, Li Buyi's utter despair before his death, the towering tree rooted in front of the low-income building striving upwards, the guilt and admonition from grandfather at dusk, Yang Shiyan saying he lacked sharpness, raising his spirits upon breaking the Fifth Limit, the silence upon learning of Senior Zhuang's unjust fate, the final cut to sever the Sixth Limit...

Scene after scene swept over the river of time and gradually receded.

In an instant, he seemed to have revisited his life up until now like a revolving lantern.

He felt a heartfelt emotion.

This is me.

This is my Martial Dao.

The choices at each crossroad have shaped who I am today.

Diao Xingyun's pupils suddenly shrank, his heart startled.

He felt that Ji Jingqiu's aura at this moment was becoming more and more peculiar.

At times it was as stable and profound as high mountains;

At times it was as vast and deep as a Great Marsh;

At times it was resilient and unyielding like a giant tree rooted deep yet striving to touch the sky…

Is this Enlightenment?

No way, no way, he had just casually said a few words...

Diao Xingyun desperately wanted to slap himself twice, but his gaze was burning hotter, his chest filled with battling intent.

Truly, in their eyes, physique was inferior to Martial Arts, for the latter was the synonym of Martial Wisdom.

Ji Jingqiu now had the advantage in physique, but the deeper into Martial Dao one went, the less the physique contributed, the understanding of Heaven and Earth Law was the true path of Martial Arts.

...

"Why have they stopped fighting?"

"That's a bit outrageous... Mr. Diao's 'You Long' didn't even pierce through the shoulder? Could he be holding back?"

"He must have deliberately held back."

Outside the arena, the crowd was confused as to why the two men inside had stopped fighting.

"Could this be... Enlightenment?" Su Qiming muttered, suddenly his eyes lit up, and in a low and excited voice he said, "Ji is experiencing an accumulation of emotions, an epiphany, and Enlightenment!"
