Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 330 - 167 Dragon Tiger Cloud Map, Plane Exploration

Regarding whether the Federation Martial Arts is superior to those of the ancient times or not, there has always been endless debate.

The biggest point of contention lies in whether to count the "Seven Marshals".

If the Seven Marshals are excluded, then naturally, the contemporary Martial Arts of the Federation surpass that of the past.

The fundamental argument is that in the martial artist generation from ten thousand years ago, aside from the Seven Marshals, no one achieved the realm of Supreme Grandmaster, and all ultimately halted at the Grandmaster level!

The key issue here concerns the perfection of the Martial Arts System.

Apart from the Seven Marshals, no one was able to break through the Grandmaster barrier and carve their own path, resulting in regrettable halts at the Grandmaster level, turning instead to pave the way for Martial Arts within the Federation.

The rudimentary form of the superior cultivation body is one of the outcomes of these predecessors. frёewebηovel.cѳm

And with the Martial Arts System becoming increasingly perfect and stable, Meng Pingchuan emerged as the first Supreme Grandmaster among the later generations of Federation martial artists!

His appearance signifies the true refinement of the Federation Martial Arts System.

And Meng Pingchuan's former residence, termed the Inheritance Land, isn't an overstatement; imprinted with his Sword Skill intent, it is a Holy Land that all sword users dream of.

As for encountering the Divine in Martial Arts...

Ji Jingqiu had always been clueless, originally planning to take the lengthy and meticulous route, since with his Spirit Realm, to have the Heart Lamp blaze at its peak, suspending all other cultivations, he'd only need to spend a month or two at most.

At that time, he wasn't even 17 years old yet.

To date, the Federation has not seen a young martial artist who has perceived the divine in their heart at the age of 16.

Not long ago, when he integrated his own path and combined Marshal He's Martial Arts intents to create the basis for his Sword Skill with "All Laws are Void," he vaguely felt the presence of the God of the Sword enshrouded in mystery.

He had a premonition that once he comprehended the second sword move, he would be able to clearly perceive the God-Seeing Realm.

It would be highly beneficial for him to visit Master Meng Pingchuan's former residence, no matter whether he had already encountered the Divine or not.

Ji Jingqiu had no reason to refuse Shi Xinwan's trade request.

However...

Ji Jingqiu slowly said, "My Body Tempering Method is quite special and extremely difficult; you may not be able to attain it. The first prerequisite is the Ten Thousand Ancient Blade. You're likely to be at a loss if we trade."

"Marshal He's Ten Thousand Ancient Blade?" Shi Xinwan's gaze shifted, and she suddenly asked with uncertainty, "Isn't your Body Refining Secret Technique 'Knife Carving and Axe Chiseling'?"

Ji Jingqiu was taken aback and said, "You've heard of it too?"

A light danced in Shi Xinwan's eyes, and she took a deep breath, "Of course! That's one of the several most powerful Secret Techniques of Marshal He from the past, but it was not passed down!"

My teacher once personally mentioned that this legendary secret method could likely help her defy fate and surmount her final trial of life and death!

Shi Xinwan grew suspicious and said, "Wait a minute, you didn't actually get the Daoist Collection, did you? The Daoist Collection announced by the Ji Family was not left by Marshal Ji, but by Marshal He?! Did you obtain this secret method from the Daoist Collection?"

Ji Jingqiu fell silent; although the girl got the process wrong, she bizarrely guessed the outcome correctly.

He shook his head and said, "This technique has not been lost; the Wilderness Sect holds it in their hands, and I received this technique from an elder."

Shi Xinwan was relieved and said, "That makes sense, the Daoist Collection was only announced recently, and you had already begun to form your dojo a few months ago."

"If you're willing, I'd like to trade this chance with you!"

Faced with Shi Xinwan's earnest and unprecedented seriousness, Ji Jingqiu nodded and said, "Alright."

Shi Xinwan suddenly blinked and added, "Oh, before we trade, there's something else. I just received news from my Sect that I might not be able to be on your team for the upcoming Half-plane exploration. If we encounter each other, I'll be your enemy then."

Ji Jingqiu said reassuringly, "No worries, we can consider our encounter to be a friendship formed through fighting. When the time comes, I'll hold back and give you a chance to escape."

He wasn't surprised by this, only somewhat regretful; after all, they were all just juniors who had no say in influencing the "big picture" in the eyes of the power behind them.

It would take at least ten or more years before they could wield any power.

Shi Xinwan clenched her teeth feeling a sudden itch to throw a punch. Her original intention was to ask if he was afraid of competing against her, yet he comforted her instead, saying he would hold back...

...

In the evening.

After Mu Juncheng finished his tasks, he gathered everyone to introduce the circumstances of the "Po Suo Half-plane" and the core of the trials.

In front of you are three things; one is a rough map of the explored areas within the Half-plane, another is a life-saving plaque that will transport you out of the Half-plane if you crush it, and finally, a recording bracelet that logs the enemies you defeat and provides some information inquiries."

Important resource coordinates have been noted on the map; you are to burn this after reading, and not disclose it to outsiders."

Ji Jingqiu, holding a paper map for each person, recalled the information given by Aunt Mu and identified several important coordinates, only one of which was marked on this map.

It was unclear whether the Mu Family was holding back or whether their scope of exploration was simply limited.

Mu Juncheng, we are like brothers, you surely wouldn't hold back on the map you gave us," Diao Xingyun said with a smirk.

Mu Juncheng nodded and said, "Without even mentioning others, just based on Ji's relationship, I would not withhold anything. This map is the latest version that the Mu Family has."

"All's good then, we have a head start, how could we lose now?" Diao Xingyun joyfully clutched the map.

Mu Juncheng poured cold water on him, "You think too much, this map isn't an exclusive possession of the Mu Family; all of the Six Great Families have it."

"...So, everyone has it?" Diao Xingyun clicked his tongue.

Mu Juncheng nodded curtly, cutting off his last fantasy:
