Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 361 - 175: Trial Gate, Cangqing Lineage - Part 2

Upon hearing this, Yue Wukong couldn't help but feel his spirit swayed, even the Black Sun Clan hadn't recorded this information.

One-fifth of the Great Universe...

Such a vast domain, indescribable, unportrayable, as the Great Universe almost constantly expands, giving birth to new life planets.

Yue Wukong reflexively asked, "When did this happen?"

Ji Jingqiu also privately nodded, equally curious.

Ku He hesitated for a moment, then shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "I don't know either, the records in our clan are quite brief, merely mentioned in passing."

While Ji Jingqiu was still pondering how vast one-fifth of the Great Universe must be, Mu Rouzhi's whisper suddenly reached his ears.

He glanced at the elf girl, who was communicating with him through a sound transmission.

"After Qujing Tongyou, you'll sequentially reach the side halls and the main hall of the Divine Temple; remember to go to the main hall first, devoutly bow before the God statue—even if you don't believe in Gods, at least hold respect for a supreme powerhouse."

Ji Jingqiu felt surprised; the elf lineage to which Mu Rouzhi belonged seemed to possess more secrets.

How come she didn't speak before, but is willing to now?

Also, bowing before the God statue...

Ji Jingqiu felt a creeping fear, could it be that the God still retains some consciousness?

With the various clans complementing each other, and the elf girl closely monitoring, everyone laid their knowledge bare, speaking exhaustively and sharing all relevant information they knew.

This allowed Ji Jingqiu and a group of Federation Martial Artists to fully understand the layout within the Divine Temple, and the trials that lay ahead.

Pleased with this, Ji Jingqiu then continued leading the way forward; the group smoothly passed through the corridor and entered the side hall.

On the walls and pillars of the side hall were recorded many totem imprints; numerous Martial Artists stopped here, recording the wall totems, planning to take them out to their respective civilizations for decoding.

Cangqing Temple—from its ancient and mysterious totems in the side hall—might conceal secrets buried in the river of time.

Ji Jingqiu did not linger for long, as reminded by Mu Rouzhi, he led the Federation group to the main hall.

As they stepped into the main hall, a faint scent wafted through the air, calming hearts and clearing minds.

At the center of the main hall stood a faceless God statue, in front of which three sticks of incense burned slowly, seemingly the source of the scent in the air.

Upon seeing those three sticks of incense, everyone felt a chill down their spine.

"Did someone get here before us, to light these three sticks of incense?" Diao Xingyun quietly voiced everyone's thoughts.

Duan Xuanji spoke solemnly, "With Ji leading, we should be the fastest, and there aren't any prepared incense sticks inside the temple… What kind of incense sticks could last a million years?"

Diao Xingyun nodded, "Then it must be ghosts."

Everyone: "..."

Ji Jingqiu said, "Perhaps the incense really has been burning for a million years, or even longer."

He stared attentively at the incense sticks. With his vision, he should easily discern the subtle burning process of the incense sticks, but the progress of these sticks exceeded the limits of his vision.

He calmed his heart and spirit, and like Mu Rouzhi beside him, he bowed.

The surrounding Federation Martial Artists, though puzzled, mimicked his actions.

They had no aversion to worshipping; within their own Federation, many Gods were supplicated, and they were quite experienced in inviting Gods into the Temple.

After the bowing, Ji Jingqiu noticed nothing unusual, glanced at Mu Rouzhi and saw the girl kneeling on the ground, praying devoutly.

Afterward.

Everyone found the so-called Trial Gate.

Yue Wukong and others had already gathered here, discussing in low voices.

"According to the records from a million years ago, the Sealing King Genius is eligible for a Superior evaluation, allowing entry to the outer sequence of the Divine Temple."

"And the Sealing King Peak?"

"The same, also considered as Superior, in the eyes of the Cangqing Divine Temple, there seems to be no difference between Sealing King and Sealing King Peak."

"Is there no rating beyond Superior?"

"There probably isn't."

Seeing Ji Jingqiu arrive, Yue Wukong and others nodded in greeting.

"Ji, our people went first; just the right example for you," Yue Wukong motioned to the eager Black Sun Clan Martial Artists behind him, who then strode forward one after another.

According to their clan's records, this step bore no danger.

It was a selection ritual hosted by the temple, focusing on talent and potential, naturally devoid of perils.

Finally, a Sealing King Martial Artist from the Black Sun Clan took the lead, stepping through the Trial Gate.

Everyone stared intently, unwilling to miss any slight change.

Moments later.

A soft and mysterious green light slowly flowed from beneath the Trial Gate, like tender sprouts of early spring, filled with vigor, slowly spreading outwards, making the air feel refreshed wherever it passed.

Soon, the green light triggered the circular array carvings on the ground. As the needles in the array were activated, one circle after another rippled outward like layers of ripples, beautiful and sacred. freewёbnoνel.com

One circle, two circles...

Under everyone's gaze, the green light slowly flowed to the seventh circle before it gradually stopped moving.

"Seven circles, Superior... exactly as recorded by our clan."

"Even among Sealing Kings, there are distinctions; should seven circles be considered the threshold level for Sealing King?"

"Perhaps not, our clan has records of a Martial Artist rated as Sealing King who only reached the sixth circle in the end. This gateway probably values the whole rather than just combat power, the most important being potential."

With the green light slowly retracting, the surrounding chatter quieted down.

The previously entered Sealing King Genius of the Black Sun Clan walked out confidently and brightly, его бровях чувствовалась радость, от явных приятных неожиданностей он получил - периодически появляющийся и исчезающий зеленый саженец на его лбу.
