Chapter 1486 - 523: A Thousand Prayers Answered, Bitter Sea as the Ferryman’s Vessel (Part 2)
Every branch carried the feeling of a real cosmic Heaven and Earth; every leaf was hazy and misty, as if it contained the infinite within!It stood there in stillness, its abyssally deep and shadowy trunk seemingly burning at every instant, blooming with pure white Dao light, illuminating everything within the Inner Universe.
That was Wisdom Light, the true Infinite Wisdom Light. It looked like only a single strand, yet played out boundless meanings, covering the Ten Thousand Realms and universes, so heavy it was like the very Origin of Spirit from the opening of the Ten Thousand Realms and universes and the birth of all things!
It could illuminate all Law, and could also illuminate the boundless, directly reaching the Other Shore!
And at this moment, this Tree of Great Dao, which had been growing all along, suddenly stopped, sending a craving thought toward Ji Jingqiu.
"So this is... the strongest of the End of Dharma." Ji Jingqiu murmured.
Feeling the response coming from both the Nether Sea and the Bitter Sea, he no longer hesitated, flicked his sleeve, and cast out a Shariputra, which pierced boundless Void and fell into the Buddha Country.
From the moment he stepped onto Martial Arts, he had heard that the ancestor of the Mu Family once linked his Inner World with the Sea of Souls, bearing the weight of the Bitter Sea with his own strength alone.
Today.
As the World Venerable of this era, he too would weigh the weight of this Bitter Sea.
In an instant, the channel that used resonance as a link was truly established; Ji Jingqiu invited the "Lord" into his snare, and the roar of surging tides resounded.
Water from the Nether Sea and Bitter Sea surged into the Inner Universe at the same time, turning into two currents—one representing the past, one representing the future—and actually became a small yet incomplete Time River, its ripples shimmering, faintly exuding a Qi similar to the Mother River!
At this moment, it was as if two channels had been opened up in the heavens; real Nether Sea Water and Bitter Sea Water poured ceaselessly, endlessly into this Heaven and Earth, the roar of tidal waves rolling like Heavenly Thunder.
The Tree of Great Dao rumbled and moved, taking root in the waters of the two seas, beginning a further stage of rooting and sprouting.
With the merging of the Bitter Sea and Nether Sea, a heaviness from Spirit to body gradually spread out.
And it was precisely this weight that dragged down the True Spirit Heavenly Rank, which had been trying to extract itself from this Heaven and Earth.
It was as if Ji Jingqiu’s body served as a medium, using the weight of the Bitter Sea to pull the misty, unattainable True Spirit Heavenly Rank down into the present world.
For a thousand who pray, a thousand are answered; the Bitter Sea also serves as the ferrying boat.
"Still lacking..." Ji Jingqiu murmured.
With his current Spirit cultivation, he could already fully support, for a short time, the weight of the Nether Sea and Bitter Sea, ensuring that he would not fall into them.
Yet to truly achieve Harmonization, what he lacked was Daoist career and Dao Power.
...
"Madman!"
Dou Mu suddenly halted above the Sea of Void, her expression twisted.
She vaguely understood what Ji Jingqiu was doing—this man had actually, at some unknown time, enshrined a Heart God, and not his own "God", but an external God!
Was he not at all afraid of a venom-bird seizing the magpie’s nest?!
And now, this Heart God had shed all fetters and Chains, stepped upon his "Other Shore", and ascended the True Spirit Heavenly Rank she had dreamed of day and night!
At this time, Dou Mu noticed a slight abnormality.
Why was it that after this lucky woman’s Divine spirit ascended the True Spirit Heavenly Rank, the Rank still had not disappeared?
Dou Mu’s pupils shrank abruptly as she saw something inconceivable.
The True Spirit Heavenly Rank, towering above infinite worlds, seemed to have been forcibly dragged into this Heaven and Earth!
The True Spirit Heavenly Rank did not disperse; it was like a road ascending to the heavens, incomparably clear before the eyes of the world, allowing All Spirits, who had not known where the Other Shore lay, to clearly and distinctly find the direction of their advance and see where the Other Shore was.
If this went on for long, all living beings in this realm would be born already near the Other Shore!
Even if it could not reach the era when Heaven and Earth first began and All Spirits were all on the Other Shore, it was still an unimaginable overall elevation!
The most crucial point was that the True Spirit Immortal Path would truly be passed down in this realm, becoming a Dao path that leads straight to the heavens!
And the prime instigator of all this seemed to be that... Ji Jingqiu!
But she had no time to investigate more deeply; in the unseen, a fatal pressure had already locked onto her.
It was that newly ascended Transcender!
Dou Mu suddenly realized something.
Ji Jingqiu had abandoned the Buddha Fruit Position, yielding it to that lucky woman. Would the suppression of the Investiture of the Gods also shift onto this newly ascended Transcender?
By common sense, even a Transcender could hardly contend against the confinement of the Investiture of the Gods, for this object represented the most Origin Heaven and Earth Dao of this Sea of Realms!
Dou Mu snapped her gaze toward the Buddha Country.
As the deity in Ji Jingqiu’s Heart Divine Temple stepped out, carrying the Divine Dao Fruit Position and merging with Hel, this Buddha Country should have been like losing the most important foundational stone at its very bottom, then beginning a chain collapse.
But at this moment, a golden Shariputra pierced the Void and fell into the Central Buddha Country, taking root at the spot where Ji Jingqiu had once sat in meditation. The Buddha Country, which had originally been growing dim and colorless, suddenly shone with great brilliance, suffused with a pale golden hue.
The Withered and Flourishing Bodhi continued to stretch out branches and leaves, growing ever more lush; golden Brahma Flowers bloomed in splendor, vitality renewed. Everything returned to its former state and grew even more prosperous,
And from the soil where that Shariputra sank in, a seed broke through the earth, blooming into a golden lotus, each petal pure and bright, its Zen intent long and deep, fresh and transcendent, beyond the dust of the world.
The Qi of life and death circulated, condensing into a single Black and White Lotus Seed.
As the lotus seed fell, a gurgling spring spurted forth, and from it walked out a Golden Buddha, with a Liu Li-colored Ten Thousand Character condensed at the center of his brow.
He brought his hands together, chanted a Buddha song, and sat at the place where the Buddha had once sat in majesty. His aura was Perfect and flawless, filled with the intent of salvation, Buddha Light layered behind his head, each layer a world.
He replaced the Buddha Master, taking his seat at the center of the Buddha Country, his expression compassionate, his eyes filled with pity.
He had once been Ksitigarbha, and was also the Supreme True Buddha that Ji Jingqiu had once cut out.
