Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 65 - 62: Knife Carving and Axe Chiseling

After waking up from a dream,

Ji Jingqiu routinely entered the Inner Realm world to check on his post, then bathed in the Wisdom Light and studied the secret technique inherited from Sir Zhuang.

Strictly speaking, what Sir Zhuang passed to him was not a combat skill, but a spiritual secret skill named [Knife Carving and Axe Chiseling]. The cultivation threshold was not low, requiring at least a Residence level of spiritual cultivation.

Residence...

Most Martial Artists still lingered in meditation even after reaching the Divine Travel Realm.

*Ji Jingqiu's spiritual cultivation had actually reached it, but it was hindered by his Life Body cultivation, causing a bottleneck in his spiritual cultivation.*

*After opening the Heavenly Gate and continuously Breaking the Limit, his Life Body cultivation advanced quickly, though it was still lacking a bit.*

*He predicted that after breaking the third limit, his Life Body would support the Residence-level spiritual cultivation.*

*And the third limit, with his day-and-night efforts, was not far away.*

So, although he could not cultivate it yet, he spent plenty of time comprehending it in advance and searched a bit on the Martial Arts forum.

It turned out this was a secret technique pursuing the rebirth of the body through the spirit.

The Federation Martial Arts dual cultivation of life and mind naturally complemented each other.

In the planetary era, cultivators believed that after one's spiritual cultivation entered the Daoist path, one could perfectly control the body,

for instance controlling the endocrine system to reshape the physique,

controlling cells to capture energy from Heaven and Earth to reach the realm of Fasting,

or even autonomously regenerating cells, limb regeneration, or directly transforming oneself, developing Great Divine Power like three heads and six arms...

However, for a person's will to directly control human cells, or even finer changes, is exceedingly difficult.

It's said that only Heavenly Masters who had grasped the Fetal Breathing realm could easily achieve this step.

Spiritual cultivation advances to Fetal Breathing, capable of merging with Heaven and Earth, crossing star rivers on a reed, exploring infinite mysteries.

The so-called "not leaving the origin, is the Heavenly Person," referred to the Heavenly Master who had already comprehended the universe's origin and Dharma, walking on the Seeker's path.

As for below Fetal Breathing, Pan Ding could achieve some signs, but it stopped there.

As for the Residence realm, the spirit was just beginning to interfere with the body, far from achieving anything on the cellular level.

But this secret technique took an alternative approach, allowing Martial Artists at the Residence stage to consciously and actively transform and sculpt their physique, with the only prerequisite being to Break the Limit with the [Ten Thousand Ancient Blade].

Understanding the use of this secret technique, Ji Jingqiu immediately thought of its application—

to continue sculpting the mountain-and-water imagery within his body that he started developing during the Opening Veins phase!

In the Qi Cultivation and Meridian Opening phase, he had consciously guided his internal Qi channels to resemble mountains and waters.

After experiencing injections of gene enhancers and the breakthrough of Opening Veins, the blurred mountain-and-water imagery within became clearer, yet it was far from enough.

Now, with this secret technique, he could continue advancing on this path.

Bathed in Wisdom Light, he had a foreboding that once he broke through all Five Limits and forged the Reincarnation Body, combined with the self-formed mountain-and-water Qi channels within, a distinctive scene would emerge.

And what he needed to do now was to break through the third limit as soon as possible.

Ji Jingqiu began striving together with Fatty Hu.

...

The following afternoon.

Ji Jingqiu arrived at the lower level and joined up with the Order Office personnel to execute another mission.

"Special Commissioner Ji, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lin, a fellow member of the external combat system like yourself," Officer Zhang, responsible for liaising with Ji Jingqiu these days, introduced with a smile.

Mr. Lin proactively extended his hand, smiling as he said, "I'm Lin Donghe from Mushan Martial Arts Academy. Nice to meet you."

"Ji Jingqiu, Yang Yan Martial Arts Hall."

Ji Jingqiu sized up Lin Donghe.

His physique was strong and upright, with signs of Cross Training. He appeared older than Ji, carrying a polite smile yet possessing eyes filled with aggression, harboring a faintly eager provocation.

"I heard, Special Commissioner Ji, you're currently in a Heavenly Person Breaking Limit?" Lin Donghe inquired.

"Yes," Ji Jingqiu nodded.

"Let's spar if there's a chance," Lin Donghe smiled. "I also previously opened the Heavenly Person Door and broke one limit."

Ji Jingqiu nodded again.

Having broken one limit before meant he stopped at one limit.

Officer Zhang introduced the mission objectives. This assigned task was to eliminate a lower-level gang challenging the Order Office.

"…Here is the information on the relevant personnel. All the individuals listed are involved in homicide, so you two commissioners don't need to hold back. What's more, special attention should be given to their leader, nicknamed 'Eagle Claw,' a wanted criminal who previously fought in underground arenas. His methods are ruthless, with multiple homicides committed, True Seed Realm, yet his Cultivation Body is not yet forged."

Ji Jingqiu perused the data, memorizing the faces on the documents, and nodded said, "Got it."

He had already undertaken similar missions a few times and was familiar with the process. It was always led by the Order Office, controlling drones as the vanguard, followed by external combat commissioners handling the tricky Martial Artists.

But this time, there was an additional Lin Donghe, indicating the Order Office rated this 'Eagle Claw' quite high.

According to the plan, the Order Office would besiege them with numerous drones, and then Ji Jingqiu and Lin Donghe would handle those tricky Martial Artists.

As the two were on their way to the Eagle Gang's base, Lin Donghe seemed to casually chat with Ji Jingqiu, steering the topics toward Ji Jingqiu's family background and Martial Arts cultivation.

Ji Jingqiu glanced curiously at the man, responding perfunctorily.

Suddenly, Lin Donghe said, "Special Commissioner Ji, were you also selected for the key cultivation list published by the City Hall? I heard they only selected seed warriors at the Body Refining Stage this time, limited to five spots. It's really unfair."

Ji Jingqiu recalled what Yang mentioned earlier, that City Hall intended to unify private Martial Arts halls to cultivate seed warriors.

But nearly two weeks had passed since he heard about it, and Ji Jingqiu hadn't seen any trace of this cultivation plan.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu nod, Lin Donghe's smile deepened, "Special Commissioner Ji might not know yet, but this plan has pretty much become a dead project."

Ji Jingqiu turned to look at him.

"Our academy's Hanyang was also selected, but he's already voluntarily withdrawn. If Special Commissioner Ji trusts me, it might be worth withdrawing early too, to sever ties cleanly with City Hall," Lin Donghe said meaningfully.

*Ji Jingqiu felt puzzled.*

*They met for the first time, a mere stranger. From where did this person draw the confidence to believe his words would have any sway over Ji?*

Curious.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu frown, showing evident puzzlement, Lin Donghe chuckled softly, "Anyone determined to open the Heavenly Person Door has aspirations in Martial Arts. Special Commissioner Ji is one of us; why not join us?"

Ji Jingqiu replied seriously, "All Martial Artists, Mr. Lin, why not speak more plainly?"

Lin Donghe's expression turned mocking, "City Hall is opposing Master Wan Qi, digging their own grave."

*Ji Jingqiu found it strange. Wasn't Master Wan Qi the martial arts master who recently emerged in the East 3 District?*

*Since when did City Hall oppose him?*

*Wasn't it recently planning to specially cultivate five martial artists to prepare for the dojo selection?*
