CHAPTER 667: CHAPTER 255: WHO IS LINGSHAN? ALL HUNDRED VEINS ARE STIRRED_4

The Spiritual Holy Embryo has taken control of the Dharma Body, and the Dharma Body presides over the dojo. This is truly a life-and-death struggle!

Ji Jingqiu emerged from underground with a furrowed brow, experiencing for the first time the "indestructibility" of a Heavenly Person.

It’s not difficult to distinguish high from low.

But to distinguish between life and death, that difficulty is more than just a notch higher.

He raised his head, looking towards Sima Long who stood in the sky at this very moment, engaged in a desperate tactic, and muttered to himself:

"Skills not that great, but such a temper indeed."

As soon as these words were spoken, ethereal flames faintly ignited around the Demon God Dharma Body behind Sima Long.

Even the Heavenly Persons watching from the sidelines remained expressionless, unsure of what expression to reflect.

"Then let me make you give up hope completely."

Ji Jingqiu took a step forward, and time itself seemed to come to a momentary standstill throughout heaven and earth.

Behind him, three Dharma Bodies emerged.

At this moment, Mu Chengde, finally arriving from afar with his disciple, stood petrified in the void.

Is that... the Buddha?

...

Inside the Inner World.

Hel left the side of the pond for the first time, her serpentine tail dragging behind her as she floated in the air, cradling Fatty Hu in her arms, gently smoothing his head as if she were a noblewoman confined to her palace, only able to alleviate her boredom by nurturing a cat.

At this moment, she hovered on the edge of the Pure Land, her brows deeply knitted as she gazed at the protectors outside the Pure Land.

Full of doubts and uncertainties.

Even after signing the contract and sharing a part of her essence and power, she still couldn’t completely see through the nature of this fellow.

Clearly a Reincarnation Body, yet not quite.

It seems to be connected to the Supreme True Buddha, but its essence is pure to the point of being the polar opposite of the Supreme True Buddha.

This fellow, staying out of the Pure Land to dwell instead amidst the rain of the Bitter Sea, seems to be continually elevating his own Fruit Position—a rise that seemed endless.

Is this really a Reincarnation Buddha?

Also, the golden monkey in this fellow’s hand, could it be the War Buddha that hovers in Emperor Heaven?

A Holy Embryo position long silent, could it truly experience nirvana and rebirth?

Hel looked up, her gaze shifting as she looked towards the illusory Bitter Sea.

After staying here for so long, she still didn’t seem to understand the world of the Pure Land.

...

Three Dharma Bodies stood erect behind Ji Jingqiu—

One reflected the Heart Image within the observer, evolving the Primordial Limitless, profound and unfathomable, enlightening the one, harnessing All Phenomena with one;

One had the face of the Thunder God, yet displayed the fierce visage of Vajra, revealing the Buddha’s wrathful true form, its combat power surging like torrents;

The final one was set between Heaven and Earth, with the illusory Bloom of the Brahma Flower blossoming around, dignified in appearance, compassionate and merciful, with different Buddhist aspects rising around...

The three Dharma Bodies standing together, in just an instant, seized the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Before them, even the massively inflated peng-headed human-bodied Demon God Dharma Body seemed insignificant!

Everyone’s expressions were shaken – Three Dharma Bodies?!

A Dharma Body is the realm of the Heart Image, the manifestation after the unification of one’s own Martial Arts path, possessing vast Divine Skills and unpredictable power, ultimately presiding over the Heaven and Earth Dojo, the fusion of both signifies the strongest form.

The Formless Dao Body can imitate the Dharma Bodies of others, they can accept that, but how can there be two more?!

In this silence akin to muteness, the Heavenly Persons forgot to act, watching in a daze as Sima Long was brutally beaten.

There was no counter-kill or reversal in the predictions, the direction of the battle was extremely stable.

Ji Jingqiu fought against a Heavenly Person for the first time, exploring various methods, his tactics were very stable, not taking risks, playing it safe.

By the time some Heavenly Persons came back to their senses, they didn’t know whether they should get involved, and fell into hesitation.

In the end, the Third Army Commander Xin Lie sent a spirit communication to Ji Jingqiu:

"The Federation is ultimately a society governed by law, your visit this time was to ask for Dao, no fault can be found with that, but if you kill him here, it might provoke disputes."

Ji Jingqiu replied, "Disputes? Are those useful against Heavenly Persons?"

Xin Lie let out a mirthless laugh, changing his approach: "A Heavenly Person shouldn’t die here, it would be too wasteful. I’ll take care of the final blow for you."

"Can the Military Department handle it?"

"Rest assured."

"What I’m asking is, can the Military Department handle all the Heavenly Persons of the Western region?"

Xin Lie fell silent again.

In the end,

even a Heavenly Person’s Dharma Body couldn’t heal rapidly; Sima Long was critically injured and on the brink of death, sinking into a deep coma, with even his Spirit Light growing dim and unstable.

It was only at this moment that Ji Jingqiu ceased his attack.

A Heavenly Person, indeed, should not perish wastefully like this.

Looking down at the figure who, even in a life-or-death battle, had firmly suppressed Sima Long, the other Heavenly Persons didn’t know how to react.

Ji Jingqiu retracted his Dharma Body and began to review the battle atop the Heaven and Earth Dojo, standing over the comatose Sima Long.

Today’s battle had proven he could face a Heavenly Person head-on, but Sima Long might not represent the pinnacle combat power of the Federation’s Heavenly Persons.

The Heavenly Person Three Calamities, one calamity, one tier: it seems Master Bai Lu had already reached the Second Tier.

And Sima Long was only on the First Tier.

If he wanted to continue his sweeping victories, it wasn’t enough; he needed to deepen his understanding of the Heavenly Person domain.

"How about it? Would you consider my proposal?"

All of a sudden, Hel’s whispering temptation echoed again in his ear,

"Draw that sword, and even in the entire Great Universe, you’ll move freely, unconstrained! We’ve already signed a pact, you needn’t worry I’ll scheme against you."

Ji Jingqiu lifted his head, and the myriad spirits’ light entered his heart once more; he felt a joy coming from the obscure depths.

Suppressing a Sima Long was just the beginning, not the end.

Just like in ’Journey to the West,’ the great roc wasn’t to be feared; what was fearsome was the Lingshan behind it.

But the question is—

Who exactly is Lingshan?

"If I am to overpower the Federation, indeed I need a Divine Weapon to aid me, but not Senior Xuan Yi."

Ji Jingqiu muttered to himself, his gaze drifting to a certain place in the southeast, his eyes shimmering uncertainly.

In this direction, he sensed a spirit light resonance similar to this planet’s.

It seemed something was calling him forth from the obscure depths.

Was that... the Mu Family?

...

...

"How is progress on the Mu Family’s side?"

Li Xuantian asked impatiently.

On the other end, a somber voice replied, "It seems the Mu Family has had initial success; the Divine Weapon has been awakened, spontaneously opened the Ten Directions Glazed Glass Realm, and at present, we can’t contact anyone inside, we can only wait!"

Li Xuantian frowned; of the Divine Weapons held within the Federation’s six major families, that of the Mu Family was especially mysterious.

This weapon apparently wasn’t for slaughter, but a "Suppression Device", its function enigmatic but able to rank among the Divine Weapons, and it was once left by Marshal Mu, naturally not simple.

They believed that any Heavenly Person wielding it could dominate the Heavenly Person Domain!

"Speed up; with Mu Family’s Divine Weapon to aid us, we will seize the initiative!" Li Xuantian commanded in a deep voice.

The terminal swiftly replied, "How are things in the Western part?"

Li Xuantian replied indifferently, "How else could it be? As always, do they really think that Ji Jingqiu could stir up any storm?"

The other side sighed, "Sima Long’s failed assassination attempt a while ago has already sounded the alarm for those people."

Li Xuantian said coldly, "I’ve warned you, if you’re going to strike, it must be a thunderous one, ready to face any consequences, not timidly!"

The other side was silent.

"Alright, I don’t have time to chat with you," Li Xuantian hung up impatiently.

He ended the communication and returned to the depths of the ancestral home, his furrowed brows slowly relaxing as he looked at the young man sleeping there.

He sat next to his nephew Li Yingtian, extended his hand to hold Yingtian’s, and fell into a long silence.

Until a communication came through, darkening his expression.

But soon, the shadow in his brows turned to rage.

"Ji Jingqiu suppressed Sima Long?! Are you joking with me? How could a newcomer in the Chains Realm possibly suppress Sima Long?!"

...

The circle of Federation’s Heavenly Persons was vast, yet small.

Some matters just take an hour to spread through the entire circle.

So when someone transmitted the image of Ji Jingqiu standing over Sima Long, it quickly caused an uproar in the highest realms of the Federation.

On this day, the Hundred Veins of the Federation were all astir.
