Chapter 37 The world is unpredictable, and darkness descends upon heaven and earth.

“The sword I cultivate is the god of the sword.”

“I won’t go into details about what ‘God’ is. If you know too much right now, you ’ll only have more worries and anxieties. It’s better to lay a solid foundation first.”

Cold Blade hesitated for a moment, then spoke more tactfully.

“In barren land, large creatures do not grow; in shallow water, large fish do not swim.”

“ Jingqiu, once you’ve achieved some success in martial arts, go to the Central Area and see the fellow Martial Artists from the Federation.”

“This planet is too small; it will hinder your growth.”

Too small…

Ji Jingqiu was silent.

In fact, he has never left this planet, nor even Taian City, in his entire life.

In East 3 Huang Star, Taian City is already the largest metropolitan area.

However, looking across the Federation, East 3 Huang Star has long been relegated to the periphery.

Compared to the Central Area, Taian City is like the difference between the countryside and the provincial capital.

“I will go to the Central Area.” Ji Jingqiu nodded solemnly.

Cold Blade smiled faintly at Dao: “I have already conveyed your message to my sister and brother-in-law yesterday, and they asked me to express their gratitude to you on their behalf.”

Ji Jingqiu shook her head: “I wasn’t of much help. Please let me know when there are any results.”

Cold Blade nodded solemnly.

He had already learned about Ji Jingqiu’s situation from Zhang Chongba and had some guesses about the gift Ji Jingqiu mentioned.

Ji Jingqiu trains at the martial arts gym every day, but her niedu syndrome has never flared up. The only problem is that she arrives at the gym at nine o’clock every morning.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Ji Jingqiu probably had some kind of formula for niedu syndrome, perhaps to suppress the onset of symptoms.

According to the information he found, Ji Jingqiu’s parents did not achieve much in martial arts, but they both graduated from Ewha University, one of the top ten universities in the world. Both of them were from gene-related disciplines and studied under Professor Jia Weiting, the winner of the Nebula Award, the highest award in federal science and technology.

But Ji Jingqiu Professor Jia Weiting’s reputation isn’t exactly stellar these days…

Thinking of this, Cold Blade frowned slightly.

While investigating Jingqiu’s family background, he naturally also investigated the whereabouts of Jingqiu’s parents five years ago.

It was discovered that the place where the two disappeared happened to be within the insurgency zone of the Federal Western Region five years prior.

Even the Administration Bureau and the Security Bureau couldn’t follow the trail; all clues ended at the war-torn ruins.

After hesitating for a moment, Cold Blade decided not to tell Ji Jingqiu the news.

After having dinner at the martial arts gym that evening, Ji Jingqiu walked home as usual.

But this time he wasn’t alone.

Cold Blade remained hidden in the shadows, accompanying him on his journey home.

While walking down the street, Ji Jingqiu suddenly received a text message.

Sender’s note: Sister Mei.

This surprised Ji Jingqiu. Old Mu had previously claimed he would be leaving for about a month, but they hadn’t been in contact since.

【 Sister Mei: Kid, what have you been up to at the martial arts gym? Why is that guy surnamed Yang sending me so many messages asking about you?】

Master Yang asked Sister Mei about his situation.

Ji Jingqiu touched her nose, first greeting Sister Mei, then turning to ask if Old Mu was there.

【 Sister Mei: Tsk, Dao doesn’t care about his sister at all! Old Mu is busy, our purpose for coming out this time has failed, he’s jumping up and down in frustration right now.】

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and asked Sister Mei to convey her gratitude to Old Mu, explaining that she had mastered the visualization diagram and that it could indeed suppress Niedu syndrome. She said she would definitely visit Old Mu to express her thanks when they returned, and also wanted to ask Old Mu for some details about the visualization diagram.

After sending the message, Sister Mei didn’t respond for a long time.

After waiting for a long time, Ji Jingqiu had no choice but to log out of the communication.

…

“He’s finished it?” Old Mu exclaimed in astonishment, “How long has it been?”

He didn’t doubt that Ji Jingqiu could master this Visualization Method, but the time it took was far too short!

After calming himself down, Old Mu pondered, “Ask him if the house he built was thatched, stone, or brick and cement? If it was brick and tile, how many stories high, with several rooms inside and out…”

Sister Mei turned on her terminal.

“Sorry, there’s no signal. It must be the Xingchen Group who destroyed the surrounding signal stations.”

Old Mu’s face darkened: “These beasts are courting death!”

Sister Mei asked Dao curiously, “What kind of questions were those just now?”

Old Mu took a deep breath and explained Dao:

” The biggest challenge in Huozhai Foyu Gu’s idea is that he has to overcome mental tribulations day and night!”

“The key lies in the word’staying at home.’ If the house you build isn’t sturdy enough to withstand the torment of being submerged in the sea of ​​suffering, or if fire and rain fall from the sky, then everything will come to an end, and you’ll have to endure torture every day…”

…

After Ji Jingqiu returned home, it started to rain.

Knife-Lord wasn’t with him; he had a hidden hideout elsewhere.

On the living room table, a water glass was pressing down on a memo.

It was left by my grandfather. He said that he had moved to Grandpa Zhuang’s temple these past two days to stay with the latter for a few days.

Ji Jingqiu poured herself a glass of water and went back inside.

The moment my hand touched the doorknob, the hairs on my body stood on end for no reason.

His heart sank, and before he could react, the door opened automatically inward.

A man with a buzz cut stood by the bed, his sickly pale face bearing a fiery smile, which, though smiling, sent chills down one’s spine.

He didn’t look at Ji Jingqiu, but stared at a dull jade Buddha in his hand, his expression becoming increasingly delighted.

How did you do that?

He stood up, his lips trembling, as if he might roar at any moment from over-excitement.

Do you know what’s hidden in Dao?

The man raised the jade Buddha in his hand and walked towards Ji Jingqiu.

An immense, real pressure descended upon Ji Jingqiu, making him gasp for breath and unable to move.

He walked up to where his nose touched Ji Jingqiu’s.

Spit flew all over Ji Jingqiu’s face.

Pressed close to my eyes, the man’s eyes seemed to suddenly dilate, filled with bloodshot veins; his madness sent chills down my spine.

“This contains the Qi rhyme of True Buddha!”

“How did you manage to completely remove the Qi rhyme from True Buddha without leaving a trace?”

” Also, your spiritual Realm seems to have improved considerably since the day I first met you…”

“This is incredible! Do you know Dao? Your methods can completely dismantle the foundation of the Supreme True Buddha Sect. If those big shots find out about Dao, even if you’re a born Buddha, you’ll die…”

He spoke with great enthusiasm, and his eyes, which looked at Ji Jingqiu, were like a bottomless vortex, now seemingly ignited by the flames of greed.

The fervor on his face was as if he had witnessed a miracle!

Under such gazes, ordinary people would involuntarily fall into fear and repression, as if surrounded by hungry wolves, their fierce eyes filled with naked desire.

It has locked onto your deepest secrets and is determined to tear them all out, leaving you bleeding.

Ji Jingqiu felt goosebumps rise on every inch of her skin under such gazes.

He forced himself to calm down.

He had long since given up on expecting his life to go smoothly.

But he hopes that when he encounters difficulties on the road of life, he can be its opponent.

His smooth sailing during this period led him to believe that his luck was finally turning around.

Unfortunately, things haven’t gone as planned; life is unpredictable.

It seems that fate doesn’t like to see him have it too easy.

Ji Jingqiu was acutely aware of the predicament she had found herself in.

The only thing we can do right now is to save ourselves.

Delay the time, create a commotion, and stall until the people monitoring outside notice something is wrong, until Knife-Lord arrives.

He pursed his lips slightly and uttered three words to the man before him, who seemed to have fallen into madness:

“I’ll teach you.”

A wake-up call.

It was like a bucket of ice water being poured over him, seemingly waking the crazed Li Buyi.

He took deep breaths like Ji Jingqiu, seemingly trying to calm his agitated emotions, but his pupils grew brighter and redder until they were completely bloodshot.

His bloodshot eyes sent chills down one’s spine; they were fixed intently on Ji Jingqiu.

I don’t know how long I’ve been reading Ji Jingqiu.

The heavy breathing gradually subsided.

Li Buyi suddenly said softly, “Okay, you teach me. I’ll leave once I’ve learned, and I’ll never hurt you.”

Ji Jingqiu remained expressionless, her gaze fixed on the visualization diagram that Li Buyi had pulled out and tossed on the ground.

Following his gaze, Li Buyi asked in confusion:

“The painting you mentioned… no, could this be a visualization image?”

He rushed to the scroll he had carelessly tossed on the ground, and, as if finding a treasure, carefully unfurled it.

But after staring at it for a while, he turned back with a gloomy expression: “Are you kidding me? This is just an ordinary painting! And it’s completely incomprehensible!”

Ji Jingqiu said expressionlessly, “That’s a top-level visualization diagram. If you can’t understand it, you’re just stupid.”

“The highest level…” Li Buyi’s breath hitched. “How could you possibly have… No, only the supreme method can achieve this… Yes, only the supreme method!”

His expression turned to one of immense joy, yet also a touch of bewilderment.

Even within the entire Supreme True Buddha Sect, there is not a single visualization diagram of the highest level!

But he couldn’t understand it at all. The visualization diagram in his hand was like a piece of waste paper. Even if Ji Jingqiu hadn’t said anything, he wouldn’t have realized that it was a visualization diagram.

He could now only discern from Ji Jingqiu’s mental fluctuations that the latter was not lying.

Li Buyi suddenly asked Dao, “Did you finish fixing it?”

“Of course.” Ji Jingqiu replied expressionlessly, her eyes as deep and unfathomable as an ancient well.

Li Buyi said with relief, “That’s right, you are a born Buddha, how can you be compared with ordinary people like us?”

At that moment, Li Buyi suddenly felt a warning from his inner light.

Although the warning was only for a moment, it was a life-or-death crisis!

The source was none other than the young man in front of them!

This immediately put Li Buyi on alert, and he stared intently at the boy in front of him.

No matter how he looked at it or how he calculated, he couldn’t figure out that Ji Jingqiu could possibly harm him, let alone pose a life-or-death crisis.

The heart lamp remained completely still, without even the slightest ripple.

It seems that what I just felt was just an illusion…

But Li Buyi dared not be careless:

“Let’s go somewhere else.”

Outside the window, a streak of bright white lightning flashed across the sky, leaving a striking mark that lingered for a long time.

A thunderclap exploded in my ears, followed by a period of complete silence.

Tonight, a torrential downpour has plunged the world into darkness.

This plot point will definitely be resolved by Monday. If two chapters aren’t enough, then we’ll add an extra chapter! So please remember to check back on Monday and add this chapter to your reading list!
