Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 90 - 85: Mr. Mu, you wait for me
Upon his initial arrival at the Four Guardian Stars, the process was exactly as Ji Jingqiu had known in advance.
After boarding the Space Fortress, the three of them were sent to the Third Satellite of the Four Guardian Stars, where they underwent a three-day isolation and quarantine.
Ji Jingqiu sat cross-legged in the middle of the room, surrounded by several high-energy nutrition bars and water.
The room was empty, not even a bed, let alone any monitoring equipment.
The person who brought them in reiterated three times that there would be no surveillance or audio devices inside the room, so no matter what sounds were heard, they should just ignore them.
Sitting cross-legged in the room, Ji Jingqiu prepared to spend the next three days trying to break through the Sixth Limit.
As Bage had said, after condensing the True Seed, the Heavenly Gate did not close; instead, that mysterious and profound sensation became even stronger.
He felt even more distinctly that the endpoint was right ahead.
But there was no path in front.
He was like standing in a prison cell looking up at the stars outside the window, seemingly within reach—if only he could break free from the cage, he could touch them with an outstretched hand. Yet, what he could really do was only to gaze upward.
This longing sensation lingered in his heart, unable to be dispelled, growing more intense in his mind, burning inside him like Heart Fire.
After noticing the abnormality, Ji Jingqiu quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts with the realm of Residence.
At the same time, he had some doubts.
This Heart Fire wasn't normal...
Suddenly, a second heartbeat sounded in the empty room.
Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes alertly.
In front of him stood an enchanting figure, with no idea when she had appeared.
She was a tall figure, shrouded in a black cloak, with long, shiny, black hair coiled up like ink lotus, exuding an elegant and noble demeanor, as if she were a person from a painting.
Ji Jingqiu saw familiar traces in her appearance.
There was Mei, vaguely some traces of Lou Qinglan, and even of Madam Qiu in her youth...
This face seemed like a hodgepodge of features taken from his own memories.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Ji Jingqiu frowned, wondering, what was this, a test from the Four Guardian Stars?
He closed his eyes, choosing to ignore her.
"ΨΩ..."
The woman spoke, her voice like a warm stream flowing into his heart, seemingly able to reach the deepest part, with a unique charm that made one want to listen closely to every word she said...
Weirdly enough, Ji Jingqiu couldn't understand what the woman was saying, but he still had an impulse to respond.
Was this also part of the test?
Ji Jingqiu speculated that such methods must be some kind of Spirit Secret Skill.
Were these Four Guardian Stars testing their Spiritual Cultivation?
But was there a need to go to such lengths...
He felt something, his spirit settled, entering the state of Residence, and with a gesture of his hands, he pushed out the Zen Meditation Seal for the salvation of oneself and others.
In an instant.
The voice beside his ear stopped abruptly.
But soon after, Ji Jingqiu seemed to hear the woman's voice cursing through gritted teeth.
This time he heard it clearly; the language was filthy!
And the subject of her curses was not him, it seemed to be...
someone with the surname 'Mu'?
...
"Boss, the depth index is abnormal; it should be Spirit Resonance!"
Hearing this, a man in a white coat with his feet propped on the table, browsing the terminal, looked up in surprise and said:
"How long has it been since we had a Spirit Resonance? Just three people in this batch, and they still attracted the attention of that thing? That's some bad luck. What's the result?"
"...It's a strange phenomenon; it reached a peak in an instant, then plummeted straight down, now it has disappeared."
The man pondered for a moment and said, "Don't bother with it. Do a spiritual check after three days, and if there's a problem, hand them over to the Divine Temple to cleanse the contamination."
"Understood." The reporting staff hesitated, but couldn't suppress their curiosity and asked, "Boss, have you ever seen a spirit contamination event mentioned in the manual?"
The man waved his hand, unconcerned:
"Don't worry, with the Spiritual Interference Position in place, that thing can't infiltrate much power. Plus, there are masters stationed above.
The three-day isolation itself is like giving a vaccine to the entrants, letting them get used to it first."
...
The voice by his ear disappeared.
Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes, and the woman's figure was gone as well.
But he quickly realized that there was a subtle obstruction in the circulation of his Qi and blood, and his normally robust vitality felt dampened, as if facing a rainy day.
He took a deep breath, and his Inner Qi immediately flowed like ice and snow melting into water in spring, surging into a mighty river, sweeping away the languor in his body.
While continuing to carve out the landscape of Qi within his body, he sensed the elusive Sixth Limit.
Until the three-day deadline arrived.
The warning light on the door turned from red to green.
Smooth footsteps could be heard approaching.
Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes, concluding his cultivation.
Over the three days, he still hadn't found the path. After the opening of the Heavenly Gate, five thresholds of the Heavenly Person's Five Limits appeared within him, like five checkpoints.
But the Sixth Limit was different; it didn't exist at all. How was one to break through that?
For now, Ji Jingqiu could only think of one approach: to have no desires of the body, and to seek from the heart instead.
Since there was no trace of Chains within his body, could it be that this Sixth Limit existed within the spirit and mind?
After a moment.
The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.
The officer in charge of the Third Satellite opened the door.
Ji Jingqiu was led away and soon met up with Ji Anming.
As for Lou Qinglan, being an ordinary person, her process was slightly different, requiring a visit to the Divine Temple.
"Jingqiu, we'll have to part ways soon. I'm heading to Taiwei City; remember to come find me when you're free," Ji Anming said with a smile.
"Definitely," Ji Jingqiu nodded.
There were three cities among the Four Guardian Stars: Taiwei, Ziwei, and Heavenly Market.
Ji Jingqiu and Lou Qinglan were headed for Heavenly Market City.
"Please cooperate."
The staff separated the two and asked them to lie down in something that resembled a medical pod.
