Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 61 - 58 Protecting Gods, Guiding the Deceased

In the midst of dust and dirt.

Yang Yao dragged the unresponsive Cheng Yan towards him, his physique visibly shrinking slowly.

It was only now that Ji Jingqiu realized that his senior brother's frame had swelled to several times its usual size, particularly the arms which were nearly double in thickness, his muscles knotted, and his large tendons coiling like pythons. The substance flowing within his body seemed not to be blood, but rather magma, his vital energy surging forth as if tangible.

Merely his approach gave off the illusion of an ancient fierce beast.

Ji Jingqiu blinked rapidly, with his spiritual cultivation he could vaguely sense that the vital energy around his senior brother was taking the shape of a fierce tiger, moving with a blade between its jaws.

The integration of spirit and body, the manifestation of combat skills in the present world, signifies a Divine Travel Warrior.

The senior brother was not far from the breakthrough into Divine Travel.

At this stage, presence alone could overwhelm an ordinary person and one's spiritual cultivation would truly transform into combat power.

The pure power of the spirit is almost impossible to interfere with reality, but when based on the foundation of physical strength and vital energy, the two complement each other, resulting in an effect greater than the sum of its parts.

This is also one of the meanings of dual cultivation of life and spirit.

For martial artists like Ji Jingqiu, who ignited their Heart Fire during Body Refining, as long as their vital energy is sufficient, they could achieve this state in the True Seed Realm.

For them, as long as they forge a Cultivation Body, they could step into the ranks of the Divine Travel Warriors at any time.

"This man never intended to flee; he fought me with a mindset of mutual destruction."

Yang Yao dropped Cheng Yan in front of Zhang Xingyi, pondering,

"I don't think it's very likely you will pry secrets out of him unless you resort to certain illegal methods."

Ji Jingqiu's gaze sharpened.

In his Inner Realm world, the Protecting God, which had been constantly struggling with no signs of awakening, suddenly conveyed an idea to him.

——This person possesses a hint of Buddha's Destiny, please allow me, the World Venerable, to guide his soul.

Who? Cheng Yan?

Ji Jingqiu was stunned.

Suddenly,

Yang Yao's voice halted, as he and Zhang Xingyi both looked down at their feet.

"Dead..."

Zhang Xingyi clicked his tongue, "It seems this fellow really sought death. Look at his face, so relaxed and relieved, as if it was living that tortured him. I really want to know what kind of threats were behind him."

With a wave of his hand, Cheng Yan's body was taken away, he shrugged, "No matter, he was a wanted criminal anyway, it doesn't matter if he's dead. You guys pull out first, I'll take care of the aftermath."

Yang Yao nodded, glanced at the girl Ji Jingqiu was carrying on his shoulder, and noticed his junior brother was staring absent-mindedly at Cheng Yan's body, he couldn't help but sigh.

The junior brother was too disappointing, not realizing the charm of caring for the fairer sex. Instead, how could a corpse be more attractive than an actual girl?

He coughed and pulled Ji Jingqiu onto the limousine to leave.

In the car, Ji Jingqiu casually set the girl aside, Yang Yao checked and confirmed that she was only asleep and left her be.

Ji Jingqiu asked his senior brother about the concept of a superior cultivation body.

Yang Yao said, "To forge a superior cultivation body, one must possess a Reincarnation Body to be qualified. I only managed to break through three limits of the Heavenly Person's Five Limits back in my day, so a Mid-grade Cultivation Body is my upper limit."

Once again, Ji Jingqiu heard the term Reincarnation Body.

After the last time the Heavenly Person's Five Limits were fully opened, he clearly perceived a message:

Break through five barriers, and a World Establishment Treasure Body shall be granted.

"The so-called Reincarnation Body, is the reward for breaking all Five Limits, fused into one, haven't you already broken through the first layer of the Heavenly Barrier?

The first barrier is Unbreakable Copper Skin, you might not feel much when you break through this stage, but you must have clearly felt it just now."

Saying this, Yang Yao smiled and poked at the bullet holes in Ji Jingqiu's body.

At this moment, Ji Jingqiu suddenly remembered that he had previously resisted several shots from the enemy and eliminated the opponent at close range.

Looking down now, his protective armor had several holes in it, but there was not a trace of damage underneath.

He took off the protective armor and saw that there was not a single mark on his skin.

At close range, although the enemy's bullets had pierced the protective armor, the remaining force couldn't harm him at all.

"Every one layer of Heavenly Barrier comes with some additional gifts: Unbreakable Copper Skin, strong ribs and sinews, Bone Forging like a Bell, Blood Coagulation like Mercury, cleansing the viscera.

Taken alone, each gift might not seem like much, but once you Breakthrough All Five Limits and the Reincarnation Body melds into one, you'll gain maximum enhancement.

In ancient times, this was considered the pinnacle of one's physical realm and also the theoretical zenith for humans.

As for cultivation body, it's a separate domain altogether, one could say it's a step into the non-human."

"By the way..." Yang Yao asked suddenly, "Junior Brother, when do you plan to Breakthrough the Second Limit?"

Ji Jingqiu made a rough calculation.

Even though today's first battle was short-lived and not as intense as his elder brother's usual suppressions, it was still a real bloody fight, elevating his spirits. Furthermore, with Fatty Hu's diligent assistance...

"I should be able to do it the day after tomorrow," Ji Jingqiu stated seriously.

Yang Yao stroked his chin and murmured, "I hope Master Luo comes a few days later. By then, if you've already broken through the third limit and even surpassed his disciples, that would be really interesting…"

...

After handing over the mission, the still unconscious girl was personally picked up by Secretary Zhang and his men.

"Thank you, thank you. Ji has helped us solve another problem," Secretary Zhang said with a brilliant smile. "I'm in a hurry today, so I won't chat much. We'll meet again in a few days!"

After saying goodbye to Ji Jingqiu, while sitting in the back of the car, Secretary Zhang quickly made a call, saying, "Mayor, we've picked up Qinglan and are on our way back now."

"Well done," a tired yet authoritative voice replied. "Is the one who took care of it the same person you vouched for before?"

"Yes, his name is Ji Jingqiu, a promising young man. He was also the one who acted bravely last time."

"Ah, I remember. This young man is a student of Mr. Yang, isn't he?"

"Correct, he and Zhang Luo, the grandchildren of two directors, are of the same cohort."

There was a pause on the other end, followed by, "Is he from our Taian City?"

"Yes, he's a local."

"One of our own with martial arts talent, reliable character; very good," the voice on the phone said with a pause of appreciation. "Are there any slots left for the five key training positions this time?"

"He's already been accounted for," Secretary Zhang said with a chuckle.

"You've made wise arrangements," the voice on the other end said, relieved. "Get Qinglan back here as soon as possible."

"Will do."

Secretary Zhang hesitated briefly then spoke in a low voice,

"Today, Supervisor Yin from the Que Lan Company hinted to me that the Star Group is currently trying to woo and recruit Master Wan Qi from the East 3 Yan Star.

He thinks that our refusal to deal with the Star Group is an irrational decision and urged me to convince you to mediate the conflict between the city hall and Star Group."

Que Lan Company is also one of the federal giants, and one that originated from the native East Three Bright Star; it is a major taxpayer in Taian City and provides a lot of jobs.

The city hall had to seriously consider their opinions.

Especially since the Star Group is attempting to recruit Wan Qi Weiquan, the first Martial Arts Master from the East 3 District in a century.

In a metro area of Taian City's level, theoretically, the leader's status should be on par with that of a Heart Image Warrior.

But factoring in geographic and economic considerations, even Chains Realm Martial Artists deserve their grave attention.

Let alone a Martial Arts Master.

Yet, the person on the other end of the phone was decisive and without hesitation:

"Don't bother with them. Even if the whole East 3 District becomes Master Wan Qi's dojo, the East 3 Huai Star will not!"
