CHAPTER 691: CHAPTER 262: SPIRITUAL CULTIVATION, SITTING FORGET, AND THE OTHER SHORE

When the elders questioned Ji Jingqiu about his performance on the Four Guardian Stars years ago, they couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic.

Vaguely remembered, on that night on the Four Guardian Stars, someone, perhaps out of humility or arrogance, stated in front of his peers that they would only need to lower their brows by four points in the future upon seeing him.

And now, today, who else but his peers?

...

...

After saying goodbye to the group of Heavenly Persons in the west, Ji Jingqiu did not rush to leave but instead walked again on the land of the Western Federation.

He needed to verify something.

After he finished the western road, the lively vitality he once felt suddenly fell from the void, unexpectedly pushing him to complete the transformation of the Innate Taoist Body, further strengthening his physique.

He was uncertain what this force was. Hel said this force was similar to the Thought of All Living Beings, like incense faith, yet entirely different.

This force was very pure, as clear as the sky, far beyond what the complicated Thought of All Living Beings could compare.

Moreover, if it was indeed the Thought of All Living Beings, Ji Jingqiu would be half-ruined by now. As a Martial Artist, being tainted by the Thought of All Living Beings would lead him astray, dimming his Martial Arts future.

And yet, with the blessing of this force, he not only leapt past the seventh Chain, lighting the Heart Moon at his brow, but also completed the final step of transforming the Innate Taoist Body.

It was only regrettable that after walking for a month, attempting to communicate with the Heart Moon at his brow, he still couldn’t capture even a trace of it lingering in the dark.

Besides capturing the trace of this force, he also wanted to see if any families would break their promises.

This situation was not impossible, and if it occurred, he would show the western exiles of the old era what the speed of law enforcement in the new era looked like.

And this took a month.

During this time, he passed by mountains and rivers, gazed up at the Group Stars above, and what he saw in Heaven and Earth gave him brand new insights.

His progress from the realm beyond the Chains to the Heart Image, even the Heavenly Person Unity soaring swiftly to the Perfect stage, was so fast that he had invisibly missed some insights.

Now, he was like a sponge, quickly absorbing those things he had "skipped."

Along the way, he also encountered old friends like Yin Wushuang, who were journeying. They agreed to meet in three months on the East Three Bright Star.

Additionally, he finally found Daoge and Bage, who had been busy for many days in the west.

After so long, Bage, with unrestrained enthusiasm, called out "brother, oh brother," and pulled him into a roadside diner.

It must be mentioned that Bage still had a very picky taste, and the flavor of the roadside fly restaurant was quite good.

Even though he had comprehended Unity of Heaven and Man, Ji Jingqiu still indulged in the satisfaction that delicious food brought.

Ji Jingqiu managed to get in touch with Tiangong Heavy Workshop through Daoge, planning to visit them with Green Master and ask for their assistance in additional crafting.

"Hey, luckily you contacted them through Dao. If you had directly messaged Tiangong Heavy Workshop, they might have thought you were preparing to visit them for Dao Asking,"

Zhang Chongba chuckled, raising a glass in salute.

The humorous tone in these words even made Leng Dao unable to help but laugh.

A man’s name, a tree’s shadow, no matter which power Ji Jingqiu visited now, the latter had to carefully consider whether any disciples had offended this man, causing him to come for "Dao Asking."

Named Dao Asking, but in reality, it was a challenge.

That night, the three sat in a roadside diner, chatting all night long.

When Leng Dao suddenly asked him about the choice he made for this western journey, Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and smiled:

"I don’t want to bow my head, so I can only make others lower theirs."

If I can’t wrong myself, then I will have to trouble others.

Leng Dao gazed at the night, looking at the face that had slightly matured since they first met, and slowly smiled.

Unknowingly,

the young man who once struggled between life and death was now standing in a position that many people had to look up to.

He had the ability and the willingness to help those struggling between life and death.

Leng Dao remembered once telling Ji Jingqiu that the Federation was too vast, and for one person to make their voice heard, they must unite a certain group of people, expanding their influence...

As of today, Ji Jingqiu voiced his presence in another way.

During the toast, Zhang Chongba curiously asked why Ji Jingqiu wanted to gather the Hundred Veins on the East Three Bright Star.

Ji Jingqiu’s hand holding the glass paused, then he said:

"There are some things I still need time to verify. I’m not yet sure, but the outcome is only between bad and worse, so gathering the Hundred Veins is inevitable. I need to use the power of the Hundred Veins."

Using the power of the Hundred Veins?

Leng Dao and Zhang Chongba’s expressions turned serious.

Given Ji Jingqiu’s current strength, still needing the power of the Hundred Veins, who was he preparing to confront?

...

The next day, after bidding farewell to Daoge and Bage, Ji Jingqiu finally embarked on the journey home.

By now, he no longer needed spaceships or Master Sui’s Path Protecting for his travels, and he traversed the Spirit Ocean alone.

On the way back, besides going to Tiangong Heavy Workshop and the Four Guardian Stars, he also paid a visit to Pingchuan Star.

Pingchuan Star.

Ji Jingqiu had just stepped out of the Spirit Ocean, onto the peak of a snowy mountain, when the void in front of him suddenly shattered, and a slender snake tail swung before him!

As fast as a thunderbolt in a clear sky, the force was incredibly heavy, creating an explosive sound in the void!

Ji Jingqiu’s pupils contracted sharply; the power of this strike, on its own, surpassed any Heavenly Person he had ever seen!

He initially planned to dodge, but this strike blossomed like a flower, containing Ten Thousand Transformations, and its speed was astounding.

Ji Jingqiu had no time to think further, struck out a palm, each world within it, containing everything, directly meeting this tail.
