CHAPTER 734: CHAPTER 275: RETURNING TO THE ABYSS ZONE, ENTERING THE DIVINE COUNTRY

Arriving at the Deep Layer, the place was no longer a realm of profound darkness; in certain areas, the flickering of sudden firelight illuminated chaotic reflections.

Venturing deeper, one could even spot stars radiating heat and brilliance — sixteen majestic Divine Countries in total.

Their light casts a glow, overshadowing the corresponding territories within the Spirit Ocean for the Federation.

Jing Qiu gazes at the Divine Country of the gods, continuing his descent, gradually entering the Extreme Abyss Zone.

At this stage, even with the protection of Divine Weapons, he exercised some restraint, no longer charging recklessly.

He wandered through the Extreme Abyss based on sensing from within, searching for a particular place.

Ultimately.

Jing Qiu carefully arrived at the deepest part of the Extreme Abyss.

Here he was very close to the "Wilderness," and could even hear some prolonged spirit breaths emanating from the darkness.

In this place, Jing Qiu found a withered Bodhi and a Silent Annihilation Buddha Country Pure Land.

Years later, he returned here again, deliberately seeking it out.

Jing Qiu stepped into this Silent Annihilation Buddha Country, recalling the scene from their first meeting in his mind.

Through Jing Qiu’s vision, Hel also saw the Silent Annihilation Divine Country, narrowing her eyes slightly.

Representing the Self, the Bodhi was fully withered, even the Divine Country Pure Land crafted with the Supreme Method was entirely annihilated...

Is this guy truly dead?

Yet she still dared not be certain.

Because Mu Shitian seemed to have taken the last half-step, and with that step, anything was possible.

Jing Qiu quietly wandered within the silent Divine Country, seeking remnants of traces.

The Bodhi Tree rooted in the void of his mind gently swayed, forming a stark contrast with the withered Bodhi Tree before him, one withering, the other flourishing, growing in opposition.

"What do you want to do?" Hel inquired.

"A sudden idea struck me, wanted to come and see."

Jing Qiu gazed at the Bodhi, which had withered to just the stump and a small section of the trunk.

Sitting cross-legged before the tree, the small Bodhi Tree in his mind bloomed with Glazed Light, reaching the extreme, quietly arousing.

Instantly.

Jing Qiu’s consciousness was submerged in the suddenly bright spiritual light, as if swallowed by an invisible storm.

A grand scene once again unfolded in his mind.

— Branches as Tao, leaves as rules.

At this moment, the withered Bodhi Tree began its rebirth amidst a resounding thunder-like roar, budding and branching, with branches stretching upwards resembling paths leading deep into the Spirit Ocean, connecting to endless mysterious portals.

Soon, a towering Divine Tree, spanning star-reaching bounds, with lush branches and leaves, upheld a translucent Glazed Glass Pure Land, filled with Zen, crossing limitless planes, connecting the All Heavens World!

It was also at this moment, Jing Qiu’s body shuddered greatly, and before him appeared a meditating figure with sealed hands, casting the Nirvana Seal.

An overwhelming sense of Buddhism surged forth, seemingly capable of filling all worlds in ten directions!

The figure slowly opened its eyes, clear and bright, concealed with glaze, not a mirage, quietly gazing at Jing Qiu, forming seals with both hands, a palm gently printed upon Jing Qiu’s heart.

Jing Qiu was filled with enlightenment, slowly closing his eyes.

This is...

Third style of Tathagata Divine Palm, Universal Salvation!

Jing Qiu sank into a wondrous state, with the small Bodhi Tree rooted in the void, forming some connection with the Bodhi before him.

A person and a tree, simultaneously entering sudden enlightenment, inherited.

Who knows how much time had passed.

When Jing Qiu reopened his eyes, in front of him was still the stump of the withered Bodhi Tree, surrounded by darkness and cold.

As if the previous awakening was merely an illusion.

But Jing Qiu knew clearly, all of this was not false.

The third style Universal Salvation provided him with new insights into the domain of "Awakening Others," further perfecting the [Heart Flame All Phenomena Lamp].

This Divine Skill no longer completely depended on himself, the heart nature and disposition of the bearer equally impacted the growth of the Heart Lamp.

His crossing was certainly important, but self-crossing was more vital!

"What have you gained? Did Mu Shitian, that bastard, really die?"

Seeing him awake, Hel hurriedly asked.

And Jing Qiu gazed at the withered Bodhi before him, as an irresistible thought arose in his mind.

Speaking of...

Does Marshal Mu have Shariputra?
