Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 68 - 65: Store the Momentum of a Thousand Feet, In the Blink of an Eye

Ji Jingqiu stretched his body.

Muscles and tendons burst out with the sound of a fully drawn bow string, and the bones clattered, resonating a grand and distant tune, like evening drums and morning bells, deafening and enlightening!

Flanking ribs and sinewy muscles.

Bone Forging Like Bell.

Muscles and bones sing in unison!

He had exhibited the elegance that the Eldest Senior Brother showed when his Cultivation Body was fully activated!

However, the Eldest Senior Brother still had the enhancement of his Cultivation Body, which was not something he could compare to at the moment.

Ji Jingqiu could feel the tendons beneath his skin tightly binding his iron bones like a great dragon.

Although he hadn't tried yet, he was clearly aware that his strength had greatly increased with the support of these muscles and bones!

He mused inwardly—

Once he broke through all Five Limits, Refining his Treasure Body, and achieved Great Success in the Mountain and Water Divine Form.

He wondered if he could contend with the Eldest Senior Brother when his Cultivation Body was fully open.

Having said that, he grandiosely inscribed a line of belated small characters on the third blade that had split the Heavenly Gate:

[Third Limit Broken, will go for sour and spicy noodles tonight.]

The line complete.

A profound insight washed over him like a tide, flooding over the ankles, drowning the knees, steadily rising above the chest, until it engulfed him.

His Life Body had finally met the minimum requirement to undertake Spiritual Cultivation, and he began to experience the marvels of meditation.

...

Witnessing his junior brother breaking three limits in a single month, Yang Yao began to contemplate where he would hold the signing event in the future.

Listening to the unique clanging sound of the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade during breakthrough, Yang Yao felt emotional.

He had traveled north and south with his master and had seen several practitioners breaking limits with the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade, yet none had a blade song that could compare to Ji Jingqiu's.

Moreover, the blade sound seemed more clear and lofty each time.

It showed that his skills were also improving day by day.

Unexpectedly, not only was the genius quick at breaking limits, but his craft was not falling behind either.

Yang Yao refreshed his definition of genius in his mind once again.

"Arrived?"

Beside him, Yang Yan looked at Master Luo, Luo Tianyou, who was approaching swiftly, and then glanced at a certain crow-mouthed disciple.

"Mhm." Luo Tianyou nodded calmly and gestured, "Sanxi, bring the medicine I bought for your Master Yang."

Shi Sanxi was utterly confused.

Didn't his master just say he felt embarrassed and asked him to secretly give it to Brother Yang Yao in two days?

But with master's command, he raised no objections and obediently delivered the refrigerated box containing the Life X potion.

Luo Tianyou casually tossed it to Yang Yan and said indifferently, "I picked it up on the way for you; you might as well try it as a last resort."

Shi Sanxi rolled his eyes.

Yang Yan caught the refrigerated box, and beyond the amusement, there was a complex sentiment as he looked toward the young man behind Luo Tianyou and took the initiative to inquire:

"Is this the new disciple you've just accepted?"

"Yes, his name is Shi Sanxi. Sanxi, come here and greet your Master Uncle."

Shi Sanxi obediently stepped forward and called out "Master Yang."

Mentioning his own disciple, Luo Tianyou, no matter what, puffed out his chest with restraint and pride.

"Not bad, he's got more spirit than my Yang Yao." Yang Yan nodded slightly.

Yang Yao: "?"

Luo Tianyou glanced at Yang Yao as well and nodded.

"It's been a long time, shall we have a drink?" Yang Yan invited.

"...No rush." Luo Tianyou went silent for a moment. He felt a distinct change in his old friend, who no longer competed with him but eased the atmosphere.

Had it been before, he surely would have teased the old man about his mellowing temper with age.

But now, he couldn't bring himself to say those words.

Because he was unsure whether this was his old friend's "letting go" in the face of death.

Luo Tianyou voluntarily looked towards Ji Jingqiu, who was still in the midst of his realization, and asked, "Is this your newly accepted disciple?"

"Yes, his name is Ji Jingqiu."

"Pretty good," Luo Tianyou praised and added without forgetting, "Not inferior to my Sanxi."

Yang Yan smiled and nodded.

"Since your disciple is still breaking through, what's the rush? As a Master Uncle, I ought to give him a greeting gift." Luo Tianyou stood with his hands behind his back, declaring nobly.

Hearing this, Yang Yan also slightly nodded and then turned to Shi Sanxi, pondering before probing, "Your disciple's disposition, seems a bit at odds with your swordsmanship, doesn't it?"

Luo Tianyou hesitated, perhaps due to mindset, and did not deny, instead directly saying:

"Yes, this kid's disposition doesn't match my path. I remember you know Master Luo well, right? If convenient, could you request a legacy for me? As compensation, she can name her price."

Yang Yan asked, "Why not send him to the dojo?"

Luo Tianyou shook his head, "Those stubborn old men said the inheritor of this generation's Dragon Tiger Cloud Map has been chosen, and the selection will happen again in three years. Sanxi can't wait that long."

"If Sanxi has the chance to Refine his Treasure Body and only learns Mid-level Body Technique, it would be a pity indeed," said Yang Yan seriously.

Luo Tianyou was silent for a moment, then spoke, "If he really can break through the Five Limits, I'll go to the Heavenly Road to seek the old captain and ask for a favor."

Yang Yan nodded, "Then I won't go looking for Master Luo."

Luo Tianyou was surprised, "On the brink of death, and still trying to say auspicious words to cheer up a brother?"

Yang Yan spoke indifferently: "After all, if Yin learns that it's you, I'm afraid even I would be kicked out the door."

Luo Tianyou: "..."

"This disciple of yours..." Luo Tianyou looked at Ji Jingqiu but in the end, he couldn't betray his conscience, gritting his teeth and saying, "He's quite good, the Breaking Limit technique he is learning is the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade, right? When he wakes up, I'll teach him a move as a welcome gift."

Yang Yan nodded: "Thank you, I've also prepared a welcome gift for Sanxi long ago, but I didn't expect you to come today."

While waiting for Ji Jingqiu to wake up, the two chatted briefly about the events of the recent years.

From Ji Jingqiu's perspective, he felt as if he had slept deeply, a feeling even better than profound sleep.

When the dream ended, his spirit was clear and ethereal.

His spirit was like a bright lamp, illuminating every corner of his physical body.

His physical body began to merge with his spirit, no longer two separate entities, giving Ji Jingqiu an unprecedented sense of freedom.

It was as if he could merge with the pulsation of heaven and earth; his life was no longer isolated but a part of the world.

But this sensation flashed by and seemed like his own illusion; he had not reached that stage yet. It was only after the breakthrough in his Spiritual Cultivation that he grasped a hint of the mysterious spiritual mechanism.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but stretch, his muscles and bones turning like a hiding dragon, feeling the fullness of Qi Force flowing within him.

In the eyes of Yang Yao and others, Ji Jingqiu seemed completely transformed, which made them somewhat puzzled.

The boost from the third limit was indeed significant, but it wasn't enough for a complete transformation, was it?

They didn't know that for Ji Jingqiu, the most significant transformation after advancing to the third limit was his Life Body now accommodating his Spirit, with a great increase in spiritual cultivation, reaching a new balance and harmony in life.

"Good lad, not only is your qi sharp, but your Spiritual Cultivation is also top-notch," Luo Tianyou noticed a clue, a flash of insight in his eyes, "Old Yang, didn't you and your disciple enter meditation and witness the Heart Fire?"

Yang Yan nodded.

"No wonder, this level of Spiritual Cultivation among peers in the East 3 District really does stand out like a crane among chickens," Luo Tianyou click his tongue in awe, recalling the unknown woman he saw at the airport.

Although she had broken through more levels of limit than Ji Jingqiu, her Spiritual Cultivation was far behind.

Yang Yan introduced: "Jingqiu, this is your Master Luo, and beside him is your junior brother Shi."

Ji Jingqiu stood up and greeted them one by one.

Luo Tianyou nodded in acknowledgment and asked, "How is your Divine Tiger Skill going? Show me a demonstration."

Ji Jingqiu glanced at Master Yang, didn't decline, and demonstrated on the spot.

Luo Tianyou's expression did not show much change as he asked, "You haven't practiced the Starving Tiger Holding a Knife?"

Yang Yan explained for him: "This child has another fortune, it's not too late to wait until the True Seed Realm."

Luo Tianyou was straightforward:

"No wonder, your form is well-trained, even to the extreme. No matter how much more you practice, the progress will be minimal, but where is your divine essence?"

"Only when form and essence are combined is the key to Martial Arts."

"However, it's understandable that you haven't practiced Starving Tiger Holding a Knife. You have to envision the cruel tiger in your heart, grasp its divine form, and let every move carry the ferocity of a tiger."

"I will teach you a move now."

"Just remember one sentence—store the momentum of a thousand feet, in the blink of an eye!"

As he spoke,

Luo Tianyou, with his hands behind his back, took slow steps forward.

Just one step made Ji Jingqiu feel a pressing sensation on his spirit.

It was as if the hunched figure before him wasn't an old man but a gaunt and cruel tiger stalking him with cold eyes and coming closer gracefully, without any worry that he could escape, ready to catch him with a flip of the paw.

With each step the old man took, his image in Ji Jingqiu's eyes grew taller.

This wasn't a real vision but a dominating presence that suppressed his Spirit God.

The old man's Spirit God combined with his body, and if Ji Jingqiu hadn't been firmly in Residence, with the first step, he would have lost his Spirit God and revealed gaping flaws!

At first, he thought this Master Luo had some grudge against Master Yang.

But he quickly realized that Master Luo wasn't trying to embarrass him but was illustrating the divine form with his Spirit God and engraving it directly into his spirit.

This was a form of spiritual inheritance!

Under such personal transmission, Ji Jingqiu only showed a slight change in complexion, a performance that further raised Luo Tianyou's opinion of him.

This kid's spiritual cultivation was even beyond his estimate.

It looked like Old Yang has accepted an extraordinary disciple.

After transmitting one form, Luo Tianyou couldn't help but reveal a tired expression.

Such a method of transmission is extremely taxing on the power of the Spirit God.

Yang Yan furrowed his brows and gave Zhao Yangyao a meaningful glance.

Understanding his master's intention, Yang Yao prepared to exchange the welcome gift they had for Shi Sanxi upon returning.

In this round, sincerity prevailed. Master Luo even revealed his trump card, and compared to such a generous gift, the present they previously prepared for Sanxi seemed meager.

"Let's go for a drink, leave this kid here to reflect deeply," Luo Tianyou signaled with his hand.

Yang Yan followed with big steps, calling the rest of the True Disciples along.

Soon, only Ji Jingqiu was left in the Martial Arts Hall.

After an unknown period,

Ji Jingqiu slowly came to himself.

He was faintly surrounded by the illusory presence of a Blood Tiger, with cold and wild tiger eyes opening amidst the blood mist.

Store the momentum of a thousand feet, in the blink of an eye...

He had begun to grasp the concept.

In the following days, aside from contemplating the Divine Form passed down by Master Luo, Ji Jingqiu tried practicing Knife Carving and Axe Chiseling.

Before practicing the Divine Form, he specifically returned to his Inner Realm to reflect on the Fatty Hu Disdaining the Blade.

Only after mastering it completely did he finally notice that many messages had been sent to his account.

All marked by Lin Donghe.
