Chapter 36 Though the Ming Dynasty has been extinguished, the lamps and incense burners still remain.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Zhang Chongba wiped the sweat from his brow; he was quite drenched in sweat.

Even if one’s mental energy is depleted from guiding others to enter Samadhi through Firm Samadhi, there should be no situation where Firm Samadhi cannot sustain itself.

Who would believe that if this got out?

My second uncle had previously said that A Qiu was very talented in spiritual practice, and he agreed.

After all, those who can ignite their inner fire during the Forging the Body stage are either purely lucky or extremely talented in spiritual cultivation.

No matter how talented you are, you can’t “swim” for four hours on your first time in the sea!

Just when Zhang Chongba was about to reach his limit, he suddenly felt a surge of energy and sensed a rapid return of mental energy.

Um……

If you don’t force yourself back after exhaustion, but return on your own, then it proves that you still have energy to spare.

Realizing this, Zhang Chongba felt relieved that he hadn’t embarrassed himself, but also a little regretful.

The initial depth explored will become the first coordinate for Martial Artists to anchor themselves in the sea of ​​their souls.

Once you re-enter Mind Sea, you can directly lock onto the coordinates, saving you time wasted on the outer perimeter.

The price to pay for anchoring the coordinates in the future will be considerable.

Of course, even if Ji Jingqiu had persisted, the difference wouldn’t have been significant.

Anyway, I can’t hold on much longer…

It’s just a difference of a few seconds earlier or later.

Even if Ji Jingqiu doesn’t come back, just in case, I’ll have to drag him back by force.

On a first trip deep into the area, with no one to help, the risk of getting lost is still too great.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu wake up, Old Master Yang couldn’t wait to ask Dao:

“So, have you entered the shallow zone yet?”

Zhang Chongba’s statement about his second uncle is completely nonsense.

Four hours!

Even if you take three steps forward and one step back, and get lost again, you should have reached the shallow area by now!

If there are no major setbacks along the way and you proceed quickly, you’re likely to reach the deeper areas.

Hey, my first time in the sea and I’ve already ventured into the deep waters of the Mind Sea…

Ji Jingqiu, the future Pride of the Sun, who was praised to the skies by those old fogies at the Daochang, after comprehending the true essence of the 【 Dragon Tiger Wind Cloud Diagram 】, ventured into the Mind Sea for the first time. With the protection of two Divine Lords, he walked for only two hours and arrived at the shallow zone.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chongba suddenly seemed to be deep in thought.

I wonder how talented Dao’s brother Wu Dao is…

Ji Jingqiu gradually came to her senses.

According to Master Yang—

The surrounding area is a bottomless, dark, and deep abyss.

Faint fluorescence can be seen in the distance in the shallow layer.

Upon reaching the deeper areas, stripes will appear beneath your feet, flowing with intense, molten light, guiding the Martial Artist into Pole Abyss.

As for the limits of human exploration to date— Pole Abyss —it is the land established by the divine kingdom of the Federation of Gods.

Ji Jingqiu didn’t rush to speak.

The four-hour session left him reeling, as if a barrier had formed between his physical body and mind, similar to a lag in a game character.

As he adapted, he also sorted out the last images he saw in his mind.

Seeing that he hadn’t come to his senses yet, Old Master Yang and Zhang Chongba tacitly refrained from disturbing him further.

Upon first entering the Mind Sea, it’s easy to see something unpredictable and treacherous.

Over the years, there have been many Martial Artists who have gone mad and obsessed after seeing things that were too bizarre and beyond their comprehension.

Ji Jingqiu recalled the last scene she saw, her heart filled with doubt.

Is that majestic ancient tree real or just a figment of the mind?

If true, why would such a magnificent and towering tree suddenly wither, and even the divine kingdom rooted in it die along with it?

And if it were true, wouldn’t I have stepped into the abyss?

Soon, Ji Jingqiu put all these questions aside.

He thought of his little bodhi tree.

His own little tree is the martial arts Dao that accompanied Huozhai Foyu Gu’s ideas. The prototype of Divine Ability.

Huozhai Foyu Gu’s idea was not his own; it was passed down from Old Mu.

Could that bodhi tree rooted in the Mind Sea have been cultivated by other Martial Artists practicing the Fire Dwelling Buddhist Hell Contemplation Diagram?

Thinking of this possibility, Ji Jingqiu was filled with envy.

How much fertilizer did Ji Jingqiu feed to transform the bodhi tree, which was planted between heaven and earth, from a pure land into a divine kingdom?

I really want to know Dao Ji Jingqiu Who exactly is Senior, and what kind of Realm, Heart Manifestation, or Tianren Master is he?

What Ji Jingqiu was most concerned about was why the bodhi tree withered in an instant.

This fleeting change gave him the illusion that withering was the true nature of things, and that the lush foliage and majestic divine realm he had seen earlier were the glory of the past that was no longer present.

Although the Ming dynasty has been extinguished, the lamps and incense burners still remain.

That’s roughly the idea.

Ji Jingqiu slowly exhaled a breath of air.

Does this also mean that one day in the future, one’s own little bodhi tree can also support a sacred land?

Once the sense of disconnect between her mind and physical body disappeared, Ji Jingqiu did some light stretching.

“I think I’ve entered the deeper zone,” Ji Jingqiu concluded.

Upon hearing Ji Jingqiu’s words, Old Master Yang smiled and nodded, while Zhang Chongba smiled with satisfaction, feeling that he hadn’t been exploited in vain.

With its coordinates set in the deep realm, Ji Jingqiu is destined to make far greater progress in spiritual cultivation than its peers.

This is winning at the starting line!

Ji Jingqiu is unsure whether she has ventured into Pole Abyss. Theoretically, no Martial Artist can step into Pole Abyss on their first visit to the Sea of ​​the Soul, unless they are chosen by a True God.

But he did see the intense light in the deeper areas.

Those are less like patterns and more like marks or imprints.

“Water pressure, firewood? You saw that on a forum, right?”

Upon hearing Ji Jingqiu’s question about Mind Sea, Zhang Chongba chuckled and said…

“There are all sorts of names for this thing, depending on the individual. I’ve heard some people call it ‘nothingness,’ believing that when the mind is calm, all things are like the Void Realm, and when the mind is active, the Void Realm is like the Mortal World.”

Some say this is a kind of ‘loneliness,’ believing it’s about using the light of the heart to dispel loneliness and desolation, achieving a state of detachment from the world, ultimately becoming either a beast or a god.

“Regardless of the type, it all depends on the attitude of the Martial Artist and how they view the sea of ​​the soul and spiritual practice.”

“There is no fixed answer to this, but it can all be seen as a test of one’s own heart.”

Ji Jingqiu seemed lost in thought.

Old Master Yang Dao: “Let’s go eat first. There are still many things I need to tell you at the dinner table.”

At this point, Ji Jingqiu realized that she was already starving.

The three headed towards the cafeteria. At this time, Luo Xi and Zhang Xingshan had already finished their meal and were practicing their morning’s Samadhi training session on the training field.

At the dinner table, the three of them ate quickly. Master Yang instructed Ji Jingqiu not to try to enter the sea of ​​the mind in the days to come, but to wait for the lamp of the heart to burn out all the accumulated fuel.

In the afternoon, Zhang Chongba made an excuse and left to recover his mental strength.

Nobody in Taian City knows Dao Li Buyi will come knocking, so he needs to keep Peak’s fighting strength up at all times.

He was succeeded by Cold Blade.

Cold Blade brought some gifts and paid a visit to Old Master Yang.

Faced with Ji Jingqiu’s question, Cold Blade thought for a moment and said:

“I can’t tell you what it is because that question is meaningless to me; just be cultivate.”

But I can tell you what you can get out of it.

Cold Blade held the blade horizontally and slowly pulled it out an inch.

The moment the long sword was drawn, Ji Jingqiu faintly heard the roar of the Dragon and the howl of the tiger. A chilling aura instantly filled the air, and the room temperature seemed to drop out of nowhere.

This knife seemed not to be a cold weapon, but a living thing, harboring a vibrant and undying spirit, trembling slightly in harmony with his heartbeat.

Cold Blade Dao word by word:

“When the lamp of the heart shines brightest, the spirit within can be seen.”
