Becoming a God Starts From Planting a Bodhi Tree - Chapter 431: Self-attachment, 1 True Dharma Realm

Just when Qi Tianshi had tried his best and finally set out on the journey to Yanhuang Federation with Ji Jingqiu.

Qi Tian's teacher, the True Saint of the Yin Spirit Realm who goes by the Taoist name Danqing, also had a private and frank conversation at Cangqing's invitation.

"Fellow Daoist Danqing, what is the purpose of this trip to the Yinling Realm?"

Cang Qing went straight to the point.

Although he had made some preparations before coming, Saint Danqing was still a little surprised by the directness of this God Lord.

He couldn't help but wonder, what made this person so straightforward and anxious?

"Is it the fellow Taoist from [This Shore] who came to visit?" Danqing asked tentatively.

Cang Qing never expected to hear the name "Ci'an" from this person again, and from Danqing's tone, it seemed that he had already expected that "Ci'an" would come to them?

"Something went wrong, please forgive me, fellow Taoist."

Danqing smiled and nodded. Everyone has their own expertise. With his practice and the path he took, he could vaguely sense the God's mental state. The other party seemed a little surprised.

I was surprised to hear the name "This Shore" from him?It seems that he was right in his guess. The other party had indeed come into contact with the forces of [This Shore].

This is not good news, some things need to be accelerated.

"The second point, in fact, fellow Taoists should have guessed it, which is naturally to explore the ocean of the mind."

Cang Qing asked back: "Your realm suffered greatly from the Dark Sea back then, but now you turn around and explore the Dark Sea. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Danqing sighed and said meaningfully: "For many opportunities, we only know how to cherish them after we lose them."

Cang Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you mean to say that Youhai is an opportunity you missed?"

Cang Qing suddenly asked: "In the eyes of Daoist friends, what exactly is Youhai? Is it a treasure made by the transcendent himself?"

Hearing this, Danqing couldn't help but look at this person, and the two of them smiled at each other tacitly.

Just now, before Qi Tian entered the universe, Danqing also pinched out a mustard seed of mind left on his body.

It is really gratifying to have such a "virtuous disciple".

"To be honest with you, I failed in the past because I was blocked by the Dark Sea." Cang Qing sighed.

Danqing's smile suddenly turned bitter: "Daoyou, have you ever thought that Youhai might not be trying to stop you, but... to save your life?"

……

……

Ji Jingqiu didn't have much to say about Qi Tian's final word "rumor", at least he didn't show the shock that Qi Tian expected.

Ji Jingqiu had heard similar statements before. This kind of news that has never been confirmed is just speculation.

Upon seeing this, Qi Tian couldn't help but secretly think that Ji Jingqiu was indeed on their side, and had cultivated a heart that remained unmoved. The most shocking rumor that he had specially selected from among many rumors did not move Ji Jingqiu at all.

"This first transcendent..."

"It's just convenient."

"..." Qi Tian almost pinched his nose and said, "Brother Ji, have you ever thought about who created the various roads in the world?"

Ji Jingqiu said solemnly, "You mean - the ancestor of the Great Dao? The first transcendent, the first one to step into transcendence at the end of all roads?"

Qi Tian corrected him, "To be precise, it was the Dao Ancestor who created a realm of transcendence. Of course, some people think it was 'confirmed' rather than 'created'."

Qi Tian shook his head: "Even the oldest saint in my Yinling world has never seen the ancestors of those great ways."

"Then how can we prove that they really exist?"

"The ups and downs of the Realm Sea, there have been true saints who have captured traces of them." Qi Tian added, "In addition, in theory, the first person to step into the transcendence on a certain path is the original transcendent, so no one doubts their existence."

Ji Jingqiu understood.

"That's a lot." Qi Tian shook his head and suddenly said, "But the one I mentioned earlier is actually the most recognized one in the world."

Ji Jingqiu said: "I have also heard similar rumors, saying that the soul ocean is the aggregation of the souls of all living beings."

"This is not contradictory." Qi Tian smiled and said, "First there is the treasure, and then the hearts of all living beings are gathered. Based on this point alone, the logic is not contradictory. On the contrary, it can be deduced from the ultimate desire of the transcendent!"

"For example?" Ji Jingqiu asked seriously.

"I don't know."

"?"

"I really don't know. My realm is too low, and I haven't reached that level yet." Qi Tiangan coughed and said, "Perhaps my master and other senior masters have guessed the answer, but they didn't tell me. If Brother Ji is interested, I can introduce him to you."

Ji Jingqiu nodded. This guy was a bit scheming and was already laying bait for him.

"What is death, and what is life?" Qi Tian asked back, "Brother Ji, have you ever dreamed? Is it possible that you and I are just... objects in someone else's dream?"

In Ji Jingqiu's eyes, Qi Tian seemed to have triggered something passive and suddenly became deep. Not only his tone, but also his temperament was profound and difficult to guess.

His expression was gloomy, yet extremely serious, as if he was facing a difficult problem that had puzzled him throughout his practice of Taoism.

Qi Tian stretched out his finger, and ripples like water appeared in the void in front of him, spreading in all directions.

"Brother Ji, I once had a dream for three thousand years. In the dream, I experienced hundreds of reincarnations. With dreams as the foundation, a world was derived. Everyone I met in the dream was almost a real person. They had their own joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, as well as their own..."

"Life."

Qi Tian looked calm. He pointed with one finger and used the little trick he had researched to transform his past experiences into a "water curtain" before his eyes.

"A dream of three thousand years, and a hundred reincarnations..." Ji Jingqiu murmured, seeming to be greatly shocked.

"It was also this step that helped me lay the foundation for the future supreme Dao fruit, and incidentally, broke through the threshold of the Heavenly Monarch."

"So, one life is only thirty years?" Ji Jingqiu asked doubtfully, "Daoist friend Qi Tian, ​​do you die so young in every life?"

Qi Tian: “?”

I said that I had a dream of 3,000 years, experienced hundreds of reincarnations, and finally reached the threshold of the Heavenly Lord. Are you calculating how many years of my life span have been in this life, and are you worried that I will die young in every life?

Only then did Ji Jingqiu feel relieved.

Qi Tian continued to take a deep breath, and then said, "Since then, a doubt has arisen in my heart. Am I just a butterfly in someone else's dream?"

"Why is it a butterfly? Not a bug..."

"you shut up."

Qi Tian no longer looked at Ji Jingqiu, as if he was talking to himself: "Among ordinary people, some people say that the sun in the sky is the eyes of the gods. When the eyes are open, it is day, and when the eyes are closed, it is night. I searched all over the heavens of the Yin Spirit Realm, and I really found a similar beast somewhere. Is there a similar supreme power somewhere——"

"The Boundless Sea was just a thought and a dream in His sleep. When He opened His eyes and woke up from the dream, everything in the world fell into chaos."

"The recurring universe and the endless birth and death of all living things are just a part of his dream..."

"The world of clouds and smoke is like a dream, but how should we distinguish between the real and the unreal?"

"Disprove and correct errors."

By the end of his speech, he had completely fallen into the mode of asking and answering himself, and had completely forgotten that Ji Jingqiu was by his side.

Ji Jingqiu was surprised. Are all the people in the Yin Spirit Realm like this? They wonder if they are a butterfly in someone else's dream, and then doubt themselves and the reality of the whole world?This is really...

The God of Romance is wandering.

In the federal martial arts, the self is the most important. If one even doubts one's own existence, there is no point in reaching the end of this road. Even if one's mind is stable and in theory will never fall, it will collapse.

However, this dark spiritual world seems to be obsessed with upside-down dreams.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly contacted Lajiang in his mind: "Have you ever been to the Yin Spirit Realm before?"

“Since this is the realm where the Dark Sea was destroyed, I have naturally visited it before.” Hela said disapprovingly.

Hila’s expression changed and she cursed, “You’re so talkative!”

Wu Zhou was unmoved and suggested with a smile: "You have practiced "The Great Dream for Thousands of Years", so you can indeed make contact with this world and see if they have found a new direction on this road."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned. Wasn’t he practicing the “Art of Great Dreams”?

"Ji Jingqiu, your trip to the Chaoxia Realm has illuminated the way forward, but the [One True Dharma Realm] you left behind in the Federation is far behind and far from perfect."

Wu Zhou gave Ji Jingqiu a meaningful smile.

Ji Jingqiu seemed to be thinking about something.

Qi Tian on the side was still talking to himself, his words were incoherent, as if he was competing with himself.

"Brother Ji, have you in the Federation's martial arts ever had similar troubles in spiritual practice, doubting that everything is illusory except your own mind?" Qi Tian suddenly asked.

"This is the word 'jue' in our Federation. It has two pronunciations. I wonder if your world has the same pronunciations as well—"

"One thought of awakening (jiao) is the 'Spring and Autumn Dream is all in vain' that Taoists never forget. Waking up is just a reversal of dreams, and a mediocre person is disturbing himself."

"The second pronunciation, nianjue (jue), has a very important meaning in our lineage. It is the self-awareness and awakening of 'seeing the truth, all dharmas are empty, and realizing in an instant that all dharmas are the same.'"

"You just asked me what I thought? I only know——"

Qi Tian was stunned. He had tried every means to make Ji Jingqiu show his shock, and now it was clearly visible on his face.

He vaguely sensed some kind of great opportunity from Ji Jingqiu's words!But he had no time to worry about it, and just asked: "Brother Ji, what is the 'reality'?"

“The truth, the truth relative to all illusions.”

Ji Jingqiu looked serious and brought out the theory of the Buddha's lineage to lure Qi Tian into the circle.

"Everything in the world must go through the process of birth, existence, change and destruction, and cannot last forever. Only the true nature exists from ancient times to the present and is indestructible. Seeing the true nature, one can understand all dharmas, thoroughly understand cause and effect, get rid of the four attachments, break through confusion, and stay away from upside-down dreams..."

In Ji Jingqiu's description, Qi Tianru woke up from a dream, but fell into another dream. His ego continued, like another cycle.

"Fellow Daoist Qi Tian, ​​we are here."

Ji Jingqiu suddenly said that the human body, heaven and earth in his body were actually making a sound like spring thunder, as if in resonance with the heavens, echoing the [Dharma Realm] not far away.

Ji Jingqiu pointed forward and said, "This is my Heavenly King Realm. Is Brother Qi Tian interested in taking a look?"

Qi Tianxia raised his head subconsciously, but could no longer look away.

Standing in front of him was a continent standing in the vast universe, but in Qi Tian's eyes, he seemed to see the "only way" between heaven and earth.

It contains the rhyme of Taoism and the principles of law, which cannot be expressed in words or described, but are real and true, free from delusion and form, as if it governs all the laws between heaven and earth, and is a manifestation of the original mind of all living beings.

"So beautiful...what is that?" Qi Tian murmured.

"This is Donghuangtian under the jurisdiction of the Yanhuang Federation. It is also the place covered by my Heavenly King Realm. I call it——"

"[One True Dharma Realm]."

……

Daluotian.

Too deep sky.

This place is under the jurisdiction of the Taiyou God System, which is one of the five major god systems. Few people from the Taiyou God System have been dispatched in recent years, but those who know the situation know that behind the Moon God is the Taiyou God System.

At the same time, the reception of visitors from outside the world was mainly the responsibility of the Taiyou lineage.

The old woman spoke in a low voice with a cold expression. She slammed the dragon-headed cane in her hand heavily on the ground and said loudly:

"Your Highness, you must not engage in any conspiracy with such a servile person!"

You Qingchuan did not respond immediately, but thought for a long time before saying:

"The only person they asked us to pick up is the Heavenly King."

If the newcomer stops at the Heavenly King, he will pose no threat to the Netherworld.

The old woman thought for a moment, still shook her head and said: "Your Highness, the outside world is vast, you must be careful of the treacherous methods of each family, and don't take risks."

You Qingchuan said softly: "The other party promised to help the Lord God heal the Taoist wounds left by Ji Tianxing and shorten the time of his return."

The old woman's expression froze. This undoubtedly pointed directly to their most troublesome point at the moment.

"Not long ago, I invited Chi Ji to be my guest, but she ignored me. If the Lord God were still alive, how dare they?!"

The old woman sighed.

In recent years, the Taiyou lineage's previous attitude towards external forces has caused dissatisfaction among other divine lineages.

In addition, since the Divine Lord has not returned, the Taiyou lineage has indeed suffered a lot.

You Qingchuan said expressionlessly:

"The culprit for all this can be traced back to the Yanhuang Federation, and the [Jie Tian Cult] told me that their target this time is the Yanhuang Federation."

"Don't worry, Grandma Qiu. Qingchuan knows what's going on. He will ask the Moon Goddess to come out of seclusion this time, and only let in a few Heavenly Kings. They won't cause any big waves in this Netherworld."
