Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 76 - 73: Launch at Midnight Tomorrow!

Zhang Chongba took Ji Jingqiu to another room for a private conversation.

As soon as they entered the room, Zhang Chongba seriously asked, "Are you sure you're not currently under the influence of the Supreme True Buddha?"

Ji Jingqiu nodded, "I have entered Residence."

Zhang Chongba shook his head, "This isn't something meditation can... What did you say?"

Ji Jingqiu responded calmly, "After the incident with Li Buyi, my spiritual cultivation has made a breakthrough. It was only delayed by the burden of the Life Body, but after breaking the third limit a few days ago, I smoothly entered Residence."

Zhang Chongba wiped the sweat off his bald head.

Seeing the Heart Fire during Body Refining could be explained as good luck; it doesn't necessarily mean there is talent in spiritual cultivation.

But Body Refining and then Residence...

Sweat soaked his back, my goodness.

However, thinking that he's dealing with Ji Jingqiu, who had suffered from the Evil Poison Disease for sixteen years, Zhang Chongba felt somewhat relieved.

From this perspective.

The fact that Ji Jingqiu hasn't gone mad over the years is even rarer than proving Residence through Body Refining.

"Where's the gold ring I gave you last time?" Zhang Chongba asked.

Ji Jingqiu took it out from his pocket; he hadn't lost this ring.

Zhang Chongba took it, examined it carefully, and relaxed upon confirming it hadn't discolored, "It hasn't changed color, should be fine."

"This thing, keep it on you, it serves as a warning."

He handed the ring back to Ji Jingqiu and explained,

"The Supreme True Buddha Sect is very sinister, originating from their respected True Buddha, who's as capable of beguiling and twisting the mind as the Heavenly Demon among the Four Demons deep in the wilderness."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but ask, "Four Demons, Heavenly Demon?"

Was it the Sixth Heaven Lord who was subdued under the Bodhi Tree?

Why does it feel specialized and fitting again?

Zhang Chongba nodded and said, "One of the four great Inner Realm natural disasters in the Spirit Ocean, and currently the most troubling issue for the Federation. Since you want to interact with the Administration Bureau, you'll definitely come into contact with such things in the future; we'll talk more about it then."

He paused, hesitating for a moment, but eventually decided to reveal some secrets to Ji Jingqiu,

"Brother... do you know who the founder of the Supreme True Buddha Sect was?"

Ji Jingqiu shook his head.

"It was the second son of Marshal Mu, Mu Heshan!" Zhang Chongba said gravely,

"I briefly mentioned the situation of the Supreme True Buddha Sect to you before, but in reality, their situation is many times more complicated.

Shortly after the Federation was founded and stabilized, Marshal Mu disappeared mysteriously, officially claiming to be in retreat, and no one knew where he went.

To carry on his father's will, Mu Heshan left the Mu Family and established the Supreme True Buddha Sect, aimed at supervising the operation of the Federation.

I've told you about the subsequent events, their internal factions split into two; one adhering to old traditions and the other attempting to create new laws, striving to forge a messianic Supreme True Buddha.

And the origin core they used initially to create the Supreme True Buddha...

Was the Divine Thought Core left by Mu Heshan!"

Hearing this, Ji Jingqiu suddenly realized why the Supreme True Buddha Sect possessed many Spirit Secret Skills matching the "Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization."

The initial founder was Marshal Mu's second son!

"In the early days, they had the nostalgic ties with the Mu Family, so the Administration Bureau didn't touch them.

But later, when they created the Supreme True Buddha with Mu Heshan's Divine Thought Core, those ties were completely severed.

The Mu Family once tried to purge their ranks, but eventually failed, the reason being this True Buddha.

That True Buddha, having absorbed countless Martial Artists' thoughts, nearly reached the stature of the Federation's Four Directions God, but also fell into chaos and ignorance.

Even if you've entered Residence, you must be cautious unless one day you reach Pan Ding and your Spirit Realm never regresses, then there's no need to worry about contamination or erosion."

After listening to Bage's analysis and advice, Ji Jingqiu indicated that he understood.

"I roughly understand what you mean," Zhang Chongba asked again, "When did you join the Supreme True Buddha Sect?"

"It was when Li Buyi captured me last time."

Zhang Chongba thought for a moment and said,

"The Administration Bureau has always wanted to plant an insider within the Supreme True Buddha Sect, but their vetting system is very strict, nearly impossible. Now with you..."

"I will register your name in the Administration Bureau, directly coordinate with me, but remember, don't take risky actions!"

Zhang Chongba spoke with unusual seriousness: "My requirement for you is just to deliver intelligence about the Supreme True Buddha Sect to me when you can ensure your own safety without exposing yourself!

And, do not associate with them!

You may try to get closer to the faction that follows the ancient system, at least those people don't engage in atrocious acts like creating Human Candles."

Zhang Chongba thought to himself, 'My brother is still too naive.

Does he really think being undercover is easy, casually playing both sides?'

Every step as an undercover agent is like dancing on the edge of a cliff!

Even if we step back ten thousand steps, Ji Jingqiu is currently only in the Body Refining Realm, and even if he enters the Supreme True Buddha Sect, he would just be a regular disciple with very low clearance. How much valuable intelligence could he possibly get?

The risk and reward are completely disproportionate.

Moreover, our second uncle has been placing high hopes on Ji Jingqiu recently. Just a while ago, he was still discussing with him about his development path to the central region over a long-distance call...

And considering the still painful embarrassment from not long ago,

Zhang Chongba truly doesn't dare to let Ji Jingqiu take any more risks.

Ji Jingqiu nodded, "I heard that in a while, they are planning to make a move against a talented disciple of the Mu Family in the west."

Zhang Chongba's expression changed dramatically, mumbling, "The west, the Mu Family's talented descendant... Damn it, Mu Junxin? What audacity do they have to lay a hand on Mu Junxin?!"

Ji Jingqiu added, "They said he's a natural-born Buddha's son, and an enemy of the True Buddha."

Zhang Chongba's expression immediately grew solemn, "That kid does indeed have a strong air of Zen, said to have the potential to cultivate the 'Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization'..."

Saying that, he couldn't help but size up Ji Jingqiu.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freёnovelkiss.com.

He hadn't noticed before, but under his Pupil Skill, the Zen presence that Ji Jingqiu portrayed had faded a bit since the last time, but the 'quality' of it was higher.

This must be because Ji Jingqiu had entered the Residence stage.

The higher one's spiritual cultivation, the more unassuming they appear, some profound as abysses, others vast as seas.

"Brother, in the future if you have a chance, visit the Mu Family and see if you can comprehend their familial visualization map."

Zhang Chongba thoughtfully said,

"I've met Mu Junxin once before, and his Zen air doesn't even match half of yours."

Ji Jingqiu looked puzzled, seemingly not understanding the meaning.

Zhang Chongba quickly waved his hand to skip over this topic, "This information is very important, I will report it to the higher-ups, inform the Mu Family to be alert. If it's true, it's your credit!"

"One more thing."

Ji Jingqiu briefly explained the trouble from Star Group's side, deliberately omitting some details.

Hearing that Star Group was actually trying to use Ji Jingqiu as an entry point to deal with Lou Qinglan, Zhang Chongba frowned.

Honestly...

He wasn't very keen on intervening in the conflict between Star Group and Taian City Hall.

That issue seems to be an internal power struggle within Star Group, where one faction attempted to purge a failing Lou Family bloodline recently, and ended up clashing with Taian City Hall...

But according to the Administration Bureau's intelligence network, the real truth behind this matter turns out to be a power struggle between one of the Six Great Families, the Ji Family, and the commercial alliance where the Star Group belongs.

Lou Qinglan, is an important link in all of this.

Originally, three people from their group came to East Three Bright Star, besides him and Dao, there was also Xiao Ji.

The current spokesperson for the Ji Family's branch on East Three Bright Star is Ji Anyu.

Where did the others go later?

It turned out they went to deal with this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chongba stroked his chin, "Brother, in a few days I will introduce someone to you, coincidentally he also has the Ji surname, just a different character from yours."

Ji Jingqiu reminded, "There are also people from Star Group and the Supreme True Buddha Sect within the Security Bureau."

Zhang Chongba rubbed his temples, really wanting to criticize: has Taian City turned into a fishing net already, full of holes from start to end?

But on second thought, it makes sense.

According to their investigation, the Supreme True Buddha Sect has been operating on East Three Bright Star for at least seven to eight years. If not for their restraint due to fearing the local Ji Family branch, the city hall might have already fallen.

Realizing this, he somewhat accepted the situation.

East Three Bright Star was essentially just an outlying planet, and considering not to harm civilians, their security forces were decent enough against Divine Travel Warriors, but struggled a bit against those in the Chains Realm.

Previously, the people sent by the Supreme True Buddha Sect were only a few in the Divine Travel Realm.

It wasn't until his second uncle intervened and sabotaged their operations that they sent Li Buyi from the Chains Realm for reinforcements.

"Okay, this time let's conveniently help the Security Bureau to root out the traitor."
