Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

The key to ascending to Pan Ding lies in comprehending Impermanence.

And he accomplished this key step before leaving East Three Bright Star.

After arranging the subsequent steps rationally, Ji Jingqiu prepared to immerse himself in new cultivation.

Just then, the terminal alert sounded.

Ji Jingqiu looked at the message and fell into deep thought.

[All of us are ceaselessly struggling upstream against the current, precisely to reach a future full of infinite possibilities.]

[Your future should be spent observing how flowers bloom, how water flows, how the sun rises, how the sunset falls, listening to the wind rushing through the forest, hearing the birds sing, meeting memorable people, and experiencing interesting events...]

[Ji Jingqiu, it's far from enough for a person to only have the feelings of youth; you should also possess a more glorious future.]

[To travel through this life, one must enjoy it to the fullest to not live in vain. Absolutely do not give up! We will help you!]

What to do, I'm a bit touched.

This guy is actually comforting and inspiring him to boost his morale.

Or rather, does he truly not want to see himself die?

Although like Lady La, the starting point is problematic, the process is still heartwarming!

Ji Jingqiu felt warmed, slightly moved.

It seems everyone doesn't want to see him dead!

...

...

On this day, inside the Four Directions Temple.

White-robed Priest Xue Xuandao stood alone in the main hall.

Looking at the four Formless, faceless deities before him, Xue Xuandao slowly said:

"Ji Jingqiu has already left the Four Guardian Stars; is this really the right choice?"

"What are you trying to say?" The Western Divine Master slowly began to speak.

Those Four Great Divine Masters, who never reply to anyone, even if the descendants of the Six Great Families come to offer incense and worship, do not respond, are now all attending to Xue Xuandao's prayers seated here!

Xue Xuandao said gravely:

"I've reviewed the relevant documents; Ji Jingqiu has no hope of breaking the curse. Those tonics can help him alleviate the wounds of his True Self, but they can't possibly help him break the curse!"

"The day he attempts Reverse Innate, will be when the Three Demons simultaneously lay their gaze on him, and nobody can escape misfortune under the simultaneous watch of those three fellows!"

"Earlier, the Divine Masters told me to relay a message to the kid, saying there will always be people willing to be his support; then why let him leave the Four Guardian Stars just like that? Are the Divine Masters not referring to themselves?"

The Eastern Divine Master from the East, the Eastern Qingling Weiyang Nine Qi God, spoke: "In this matter, even we cannot help him."

Xue Xuandao's brows furrowed: "Are you referring to the Supreme Grandmasters of the Federation?"

"The one who could have helped him, has died."

Xue Xuandao looked bewildered for the first time.

The Divine Masters were silent for a long time before uttering an enigmatic statement:

"In this world, no matter how terrible and chaotic, there will always be people walking around with flowers, patching things up; they are the lifeline of this world."

"We hope that one day, Ji Jingqiu can become such a person."

"But before that... he must first meet such a person."

...

...

Five days later.

This spaceship arrived at East Three Bright Star.

During these five days, aside from his daily cultivation, Ji Jingqiu was attempting to break the curse net.

Occasionally, when he was worn out in mind and body, he would try to talk with a counselor from the Moro Sect, gaining the drive to get back up and keep moving forward from the other party.

It must be said, although...

This counselor truly knows how to talk, sometimes the angles they cut in with are astonishing; I never thought life could be lived so wonderfully.

Ji Jingqiu momentarily lost the thought of blocking them, pondering over the fact that sometimes the pressure on his shoulders really is quite heavy.

Indeed, he needs someone he can talk to.

And he thinks this one is quite suitable!

The key point is, it's free, ask and you shall receive!

After getting off at the airport, the time happened to be in the wee hours, so Ji Jingqiu didn't notify his eldest senior brother to pick him up, planning to revisit his own home first and visit the Martial Arts Hall tomorrow morning.

"Master Hong, will you accompany me?"

Hong Hu nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will definitely not be far from you."

Truly a Guardian... Ji Jingqiu was tongue-tied as he brought Master Hong back to his home neighborhood.

Taking out the keys, he unlocked the door.

After being closed for half a year, the creaky turning of the door axle revealed a familiar and yet unfamiliar scent.

It was the smell of home.

Ji Jingqiu stood at the door, looked at the empty house inside, and slowly furrowed his brows.

Because the inside was a mess – clearly, someone had intruded in his absence, searching the place for something.

Who could it be?

"Someone is coming." Hong Hu suddenly said, looking down the stairs with a slight smile, "One from Chains Realm, three from Divine Travel, to think they'd be vigilantly guarding here at such a late hour. Nephew, who has been eyeing you?"

Ji Jingqiu was also puzzled; on this trip, he minded the teachings of his grandfather, was humble and courteous, when did he offend someone to the extent that they would watch over his old home?
