Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 390 - 183: Return to the Four Guardian Stars, Reunion with Lady La, Behold My Blade_2
He said: "This generation is the final golden age prophesied by Marshal Ji, and the average quality has already surpassed that of history. However, it still lacks the top-tier combat power, and it's hoped that you will complete this link."
Ji Jingqiu asked: "Haven't Ke Pingluan and Qin Qingjue gone to challenge White Jade City? How did their battle turn out?"
"These two lads are doing alright for the time being, but they are a bit far from the dominant ascension that some people envisioned, overlooking eternity."
At this point, Long Qingyang too slightly shook his head, feeling that the expectations of some people were a bit too high.
In this generation, including Ji Jingqiu, there were already three people who could enter the Twelve Floors, Five Cities, and many young people had not yet reached their own limits. Perhaps this number could double in the future.
As far as Ji Jingqiu knew, the historical seventeen-layer arrangement in White Jade City consisted of the seventeen strongest people in the True Seed Realm.
Although it ranges from one to seventeen, the division of power is not as clear-cut.
To put it bluntly, at this point, everyone's strength is not much different. When it really comes to sparring, there are wins and losses, and many factors can influence the outcome.
A single failure in a wager, a moment of imbalance in the Mental Realm... can directly affect the key to victory.
Under such circumstances, as challengers, Ke Pingluan and another person naturally possess a significant advantage because they can challenge repeatedly until they find the opportunity for victory.
And this is also the fundamental reason why they are challenging White Jade City: to grow stronger through combat and polish their own shortcomings.
But for some people, this is not enough.
Long Qingyang said:
"Before you reached Godseeing, you were already capable of defeating a Martial Artist at the Sealing King Peak with a single slash. After breaking through Godseeing, your strength should have increased significantly."
"If you can meet the expectations of certain people this time, unexpectedly, a lot of foundational level resources will lean towards you."
"The matters concerning the East Three Bright Star would also be much easier to handle, and you might not need Bai Lu as an intermediary and can directly include it under your name."
The East Three Bright Star being directly included under his name...
Ji Jingqiu was suddenly quite interested.
"Enough talk, this old man has things to attend to now."
It seemed Long Qingyang was busy from the start of the call, his voice intermittent.
After hanging up, Ji Jingqiu took the opportunity to open the terminal and look through the updates on the Martial Arts channel.
He had already realized that someone was creating momentum behind the scenes, but he didn't expect it to eventually point towards himself.
But as he watched...
Ji Jingqiu's expression gradually became strange.
Three slashes per level...
Is this how the Federation creates momentum?
He didn't know who started this craze, but there was suddenly a large-scale vote online, titled with whether he could reach the top of White Jade City or not.
He suddenly understood why Li Chengfeng previously said in the group chat that if he didn't make a move towards White Jade City, he probably couldn't settle this matter smoothly.
Ascending White Jade City, with Ke Pingluan and Qin Qingjue ahead, was already causing a buzz online.
Ji Jingqiu put down the terminal and continued to cultivate, contemplating the Dao of Godseeing.
It wasn't until the spaceship arrived at the Four Guardian Stars that he opened his eyes, feeling the "Federation good friend," Lady La, who came to greet him first.
Lady La was very enthusiastic. Before the spaceship even landed on the Four Guardian Stars, she kept chattering in his ear.
[Tsk tsk, you actually managed to make it here?]
[Was it Mu Shiti** who took action or did He Donghuang, that f**king backstabber, help you? I sensed the other three idiots were played! Damn!]
Ji Jingqiu stepped out of the cabin, nodding to a few people responsible for his daily care and greetings.
Beside him, there was a lively figure only he could see, constantly rotating around him, playfully pestering him in a very human-like manner.
Ji Jingqiu looked forward, seemingly ignoring it.
On the surface, he pretended not to hear, but Ji Jingqiu was pensive inside. Lady La's nomenclature for Marshal Mu and Marshal He was quite definitive.
One a bastard, the other a backstabber...
From the tone just now, it seems that Lady La hates Marshal Mu more?
Why is that? He thought it would be Marshal He that Lady La hated more since Marshal He's knife is still suppressing Him from turning over to this day.
[Hey, went on a long trip, and you picked up a Void Giant Beast? Let sister see, whoa, it's actually the infamous Swallowing Realm Snake? Can you even afford to keep it?]
Ji Jingqiu stepped out of the cabin, lost in thought.
Suddenly, he remembered that in Hel's sacrificial True Words, there was a mention of the great "Mother of Snakes."
But there shouldn't be any connection.
Void Giant Beasts are natural-born and nurtured by Heaven and Earth, it's not a problem to say they are the Manifestations of the Dao, and it's precisely because of this that their ascension has no threshold, they just need to "eat and sleep" routinely.
After debarking the spaceship, Ji Jingqiu found out they didn't land in any of the three cities, but stopped directly near White Jade City!
"Ji Jingqiu, right?" A researcher in a white coat smiled and said, "Come with me, Elder Ning wants to see you, and your upcoming challenge to White Jade City is also going to be here."
Ji Jingqiu's expression showed surprise; he originally thought that the challenge to the seventeen layers of White Jade City would, as before, involve entering the Mind Cabin for a virtual challenge.
"The virtual challenge in the Mind Cabin has difficulty simulating 'Martial Arts Divine,' so if you want to challenge the historical seventeen layers, it will definitely be in the headquarters of White Jade City."
The researcher gave him a brief introduction, then handed him a thick stack of documents, shrugging and saying: "Check it out, we received a message that your next challenge will be broadcast live to everyone."
"What do you mean by everyone?"
"Ever heard of live streaming?"
"..." Ji Jingqiu was taken aback, was this also part of the Federation's momentum-building campaign?
Following this person's lead, Ji Jingqiu walked towards the inner parts of White Jade City.
Beside him, Hel, who still had not disappeared, continued to chatter around him.
