Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 358 - 174: A Twist of Fate, The Origin of the Original Plane_3

"Are you from the Beicang Commerce Alliance?" Ji Jingqiu directly asked.

However, as soon as he spoke, the person displayed panic and immediately crushed his wooden plaque, choosing to exit the Half-plane. It was clear that he was intimidated by Ji Jingqiu's previous decisive actions, and had more or less guessed that Ji Jingqiu had already seen through their plans.

"What's wrong with this guy?" Diao Xingyun said in astonishment.

The people around were stunned by the Martial Artist's action to exit and were puzzled.

Previously, being pursued didn't choose to exit, now when the situation is good, why choose to exit?

Something fishy is going on!

Ji Jingqiu sheathed his sword, calmly saying, "The Beicang Commerce Alliance plans to collaborate with Luofeng Ancient Country to ambush me."

These words, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, caused ripples among the crowd, and everyone appeared indignant.

Many among them had also received orders before coming in, to join forces for a combined operation to hunt down Ji Jingqiu.

But this is an internal struggle of the Federation, and the aim was merely to exclude Ji Jingqiu from this selection competition, collaborating with foreign Martial Artists to harm their own, is entirely a different concept!

Moreover, having witnessed Ji Jingqiu's previous slash and subsequent clean-up, many had thoroughly given up any intentions to be enemies with Ji Jingqiu.

In this plane, simple numbers had already lost their meaning, and if it really came to serious combat, they fundamentally couldn't withstand a full-force slash from Ji Jingqiu.

"Ji, do you have any evidence? Upon return, this can be reported to the authorities, and in facing forces outside the Six Great Families, the authorities have never been lenient," someone suggested.

Ji Jingqiu shook his head, "Direct evidence, there is none. But this matter probably doesn't need evidence. After exiting, I will report it to the higher-ups to see how they handle it."

"The relationship between the Federation and Luofeng Ancient Country is not good, they will never tolerate such actions," Diao Xingyun slowly said.

Ji Jingqiu looked up, gazing towards the temple that held a silhouette of a tree canopy overhead, and said with a deep voice:

"This matter is not urgent, everyone, let us head to the Divine Temple first."

"Alright!"

"Let's go, with Ji leading us, we have the capability to battle any first-class civilization!"

"Cangqing Temple... One of my relatives who once came to train in the Half-plane mentioned in his autobiography that the temple is very dangerous, everyone be extra careful."

The speaker was Pei Jing, born into a thousand-year-old Martial Arts Family.

On the path forward, Ji Jingqiu inquired about the whereabouts of Yue Yourong and others.

Diao Xingyun shook his head, "We got separated, they may have been forced to head to other temples."

Ji Jingqiu frowned and nodded.

Cangqing Temple is not just one; in the explored area so far, there are five temples scattered across the region.

On their way to the temple, Ji Jingqiu and Mu Rouzhi met up.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu actually brought along a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Elf girl, everyone tacitly chuckled.

"The communication with you previously was through our Divine Skill [Natural Whisper], one of its functions is to use plants for sound transmission."

Mu Rouzhi briefly explained the source of the sound just now and then hurriedly continued,

"Cangqing Temple has really opened this time, be extremely careful when we enter later, the temple was opened a million years ago and many died then!"

A million years?

Faced with this terrifying span of time, not only Ji Jingqiu, even Diao Xingyun and others were silenced in respect.

A million years ago, the ancestors of the Federation were unknown...

"What exactly does Cangqing Temple represent?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

This was information not marked on the map provided by the Federation, proving that the Federation was also unaware.

"It represents a legacy! The legacy of a most high God!"

Mu Rouzhi spoke with unprecedented seriousness,

"Bodhisattva Half-plane is one of the five Original Planes, and the so-called Original Planes are the divine countries opened up by the first five Supreme Beings when the Great Universe was initially created!"

"In the Nine States, a seventh-tier powerhouse can self-evolve, open up an Inner Universe, and can be called a God, but in the Great Universe, only a ninth-tier above the Supreme Grandmaster qualifies to be bestowed with the title of 'God'!"

"The one who once opened the Bodhisattva Half-plane is qualified to be enshrined as a most high existence in the Great Universe!"

Ji Jingqiu was visibly shaken, this Bodhisattva Half-plane, was actually an Inner Heaven and Earth, an Inner Universe opened by a Supreme Being?!

He slowly looked up, his gaze passing through the layers of lush greenery, staring at the World Tree trunk visible from any position.

That trunk, towering and supportive, upheld the operation of countless worlds, imprinted with the marks of time...

With this thought, Ji Jingqiu's mind drifted, recalling the Supreme Divine Country he had witnessed in the Spirit Ocean.

Ji Jingqiu asked himself, if the Supreme Divine Country opened by Marshal Mu had not faced Silent Annihilation... would it have qualified to compare with this place?

Alas, this question remained unanswered for the time being.

...

When Ji Jingqiu and others arrived in front of the temple, the hundred steps were almost filled with Martial Artists from various civilizations.

Some moved with difficulty, some were merely carrying weight, their steps a bit heavier, steadily moving upward.

Ji Jingqiu took the lead up the stairs, and on stepping on the fourth step, an invisible shackle from the realm of Dharma descended as if the whole world was repelling him.

Sensing this, he hesitated not a moment and activated Bodhisattva World; the surrounding oppressive Dharma immediately shattered into pieces.

Ji Jingqiu felt lighter, and his progress was unimpeded.

"Let's go!"

With a light shout.
