Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 332 - 167: Dragon Tiger Cloud Map, Plane Exploration_3
"We represent the reputation of the Federation when we are abroad; it's not about being good people, but try not to be deceitful from both sides."
"Also, another thing!"
Mu Juncheng suddenly intensified his tone, seriously warning everyone:
"The Federation has no means to monitor what happens inside the Po Suo Half-plane, and over the years, many among the Heavenly Prides who entered have suffered casualties; even those with life-saving tokens sometimes never come back."
"Given the special circumstances this time, anything could happen, and no one can predict it. Everyone must be careful, don't act rashly, withdraw when it's favorable."
Everyone was solemn, guessing what might happen.
In fact, in secret realms like the Po Suo Half-plane, archaeological explorations, the death rate of Federation Martial Artists has always been high.
Opportunity often means crisis.
After Mu Juncheng finished explaining the general situation, everyone looked towards Ji Jingqiu.
"Jingqiu, the orders we received are to cooperate with your actions." Diao Xingyun was straightforward, "The Po Suo Half-plane is too vast, and entry points are random, so set a rendezvous point."
Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment, his finger landing on the map at the location marked 'Cangqing Temple'.
"We can gather there initially."
"Moreover..."
"Everyone, depending on the situation and which rendezvous point is closest, head there. Whether we can meet up depends on luck."
He didn't mind sharing the information from Aunt Mu, but explaining the source of the information was a big issue, so he simply confirmed several rendezvous points with everyone. If they could meet up and he led the group, it would be played off as an "accidental discovery."
With that, he glanced at Shi Xinwan and joked, "Non-team players, please leave the group chat."
Shi Xinwan smirked and replied, "Sorry, this miss has already asked for instructions from my sect, I'm in a free mode now, I'll go wherever I want."
Ji Jingqiu thought to himself, you're bluffing...
But he was quite happy to avoid becoming enemies with a good friend.
"Everyone rest tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we will start the exploration of the half-plane. Remember to read the content in your wristbands so you won't be cramming at the last moment."
...
...
The next morning.
Just at five in the morning, amidst the howling wind at the peak, Ji Jingqiu climbed a mountain peak not far from the courtyard that soared into the sea of clouds.
At the majestic summit, the mountain wind howled, and vast clouds engulfed the surroundings. The sun had not yet risen, and the surrounding light was dim.
Ji Jingqiu suddenly looked up and saw an old man sitting on a rock not far from himself, with white hair and beard, dressed very thinly despite the biting mountain wind.
His eyes were closed, seemingly listening to the sound of the flowing sea of clouds, surrounded by a faint halo, as if merging with heaven and earth.
Presumably, this was one of the Mu Family's esteemed seniors.
The old man didn't open his eyes, and Ji Jingqiu did not disturb him, slowly walking towards the cliff edge, quietly waiting for the sunrise.
After an unknown amount of time,
The old man behind him uttered a light "Eh," seemingly finally noticing Ji Jingqiu's presence. He opened his eyes, took a serious look at Ji Jingqiu, and initiated a conversation:
"Young man, do you have a partner?"
Ji Jingqiu was startled, what a question...
How is it that this sounds like the neighbors in the street who like to help people arrange blind dates?
"I see you have profound Zen, it would be a pity not to marry into our Mu Family, how about it, let this old man help you pull some strings, it might become a beautiful story." The old man said cheerfully.
Ji Jingqiu hurriedly waved his hand: "I am dedicated to Martial Arts, no interest in love."
The old man seriously said, "That doesn't hamper anything, it's not like you have to carry it, nor raise it after it's born."
Ji Jingqiu felt embarrassed, this old man indeed had a tricky way of looking at things!
He remained silent, sitting at the corner of the cliff, waiting for the sunrise.
Before him, the sea of clouds churned like a flowing painting
He sat quietly for a long time, his figure gradually merging with the surrounding environment, becoming part of the mountains.
Until a glow of dawn quietly blossomed at the horizon, accompanied by a red sun rising from the sea of clouds, the glory of the light intensifying, magnificent and vast. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Watching the grand scene of the sun breaking dawn amid the sea of clouds, Ji Jingqiu engraved this scene in his heart, attempting to incorporate it into his Sword Skill.
After an unknown amount of time,
Ji Jingqiu was awakened by a vibration transmitted from his device. He received a message from Shi, saying he had arrived at his current location.
He stood up, prepared to return, and bid farewell to the old man behind him.
"Young man, really not considering marrying into our Mu Family?" The old man enticingly persisted, "After all, our Mu Family is one of the Six Great Families, we wouldn't mistreat you."
Finding the old man rather troublesome, like facing a group of aunts, Ji Jingqiu quickly took his leave.
He thrust out a punch, Qi Force swirling like a dragon, then leapt with one bound, stepping on the dragon-shaped Qi Force from the ten thousand meter high summit.
After Condensing Qi into Liquid, the Divine Form demonstrated with Qi Force could transcend mere gaseous state; without solidifying, borrowing some force was still possible.
He descended along the way, and whenever the Qi Force exhausted, he would punch again, disappearing into the vast sea of clouds.
"A young man from the Dragon Tiger Dojo?" The old man on the summit mumbled to himself, "No, it's the Mirror Copying Technique, that's the Formless Dao Body. Indeed, this young man has profound Buddha's Destiny, a real pity he won't marry into our Mu Family."
"Well, let it be, this generation of children isn't that fortunate."
The old man sighed regretfully.
At that moment, a youthful figure appeared, showing up behind the old man.
He respectfully saluted, "Junior Yan Ruhuo from the War Control Department, greets Elder Mu!"
