Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 335 - 168: Under the Arrogant Sun, No More Match (Part 2)

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded slightly, many feeling a sigh of relief in their hearts. As long as there were no further excuses or denials, it would be fine.

As for the possibility of being discovered surrounding and attacking...

No worries, these old-timers had thick skins. The important thing was to secure the pioneering rights; everything else was inconsequential.

The expressions of everyone returned to normal, and accompanied Yao Heshan to the observation room.

Among the crowd, a few individuals maintained calm expressions, yet they felt a chilling coldness rising in their hearts.

Compared to their scheming, the act of teaming up to eliminate the competition was nothing!

Should their plotting be exposed during this live broadcast, not to mention whether the Dragon Tiger Dojo would let it go, the Federation officials would certainly not gloss over the issue. They would pursue it to the end, unforgiving of any power that colluded with foreign races and harmed the Federation's talents, especially at such a crucial juncture.

At that time, despite being Heavenly People themselves and likely safe from repercussions, the powers they belong to would likely face a harsh purge!

Their eyes met, and beyond the chill, they also saw regret in each other's gaze.

...

...

Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes.

After passing through the passage, the bright daylight filled his vision, the air was filled with the scent of wild grass, and mysterious particles entered his body with each breath.

His attention was quickly captured by the breathtaking sight before him.

It was a colossal tree standing between Heaven and Earth, its trunk so thick and tall, one could not see its bounds, covered with complex patterns—the accumulation of time and history—if he hadn't been informed, he might never have associated this thing with a tree trunk.

This was the World Tree mentioned by Mu Juncheng.

And according to the information from Aunt Mu, it was also known by various civilizations of the Great Universe as the ancestral court, the root of all things, the gate of the mysterious femininity...

And the region where he now stood was—

Upon a tree leaf.

Ji Jingqiu looked around; the area where he stood was a vast wilderness, with the wind blowing the grass low like green waves surging into the distance.

This was not merely a "leaf," but an entire world unto itself.

One Leaf One World.

And it had now appeared before his eyes.

Ji Jingqiu marveled in his heart; this half-plane was almost a derivative of the World Tree before him.

He wondered how it compared to the Bodhi Tree that he had seen when he first entered the Spirit Ocean, the tree that supported a Divine Country.

Ji Jingqiu took a deep breath, the mysterious particles in the air rushing into his body, imbued with a vibrant vitality that nourished his physique.

Although the effects of nourishment were almost negligible, that was because Ji Jingqiu's physique had reached the utmost limits of his current realm.

If it were an ordinary person living here for a while, their constitution might be significantly improved.

This must be the "Life Intent."

Aunt Mu's documents had also mentioned it; it was contained not only in the air but also in special plants, the latter being the primary target of the Elf Clan's visit.

The Elf Clan, through ingesting a large amount of Life Intent, could strengthen their physique and enhance their Origin.

And what they referred to as Origin was also known as "True Self."

This was also Ji Jingqiu's main objective for coming here.

He looked around and quickly aimed for a high ground in the distance, hurriedly making his way over there to gain a high vantage point to survey the surrounding environment and identify some landmark buildings and features to determine which region he was in.

Soon, he saw a silver forest in the distance, named "Silver Fir Forest" on the map.

Ji Jingqiu quickly recalled the map given by Mu Juncheng.

Based on the meeting point they had agreed upon with everyone last night, the first choice was a ruins named Cangqing Temple.

And judging from his current coordinates, if he wanted to proceed to Cangqing Temple, he would have to pass through the Silver Fir Forest.

In addition, the map marked the Silver Fir Forest with a Black Ring Region.

He was somewhat interested in seeing this so-called Black Ring Region and did not think further, heading swiftly towards the Silver Fir Forest, intending to make his way to the Cangqing Temple via the forest.

With his speed, after covering several dozen li, he arrived at the Silver Fir Forest, and the sounds of combat approached.

Was this the start of the fight?

Ji Jingqiu's interest piqued; he quickened his pace, leaping through the treetops and stopping at the edge of the Black Ring Region, where he saw the fighting parties and some bystanders watching coldly.

Ji Jingqiu's gaze was first drawn to a long-eared female.

Her skin was even darker than a wheat color, a bodysuit outlining her perfect figure – in short, ample bosom, curvy hips, long legs – and with a bold and wild style of dress that left little to the imagination.

Her demeanor was somewhat languid and seductive, but the occasional flash of cold light in her eyes provoked vigilance – she was a rose with thorns.

Hmm, indeed glamorous... The seniors from the Heavenly Sword Dojo were indeed truthful people; they never deceive and, after all, being devoted swordsmen, how could they harbor any malice?

According to Aunt Mu's categorization, simply by skin color, she should belong to the Dark Elf branch of the Forest of Group Stars.

The Elf Clan has many branches; Dark Elf, High Elf, White Elf, Sea Elf...

Among them, the top-ranking are the High Elves.

Throughout the Great Universe, the Elf Clan is also considered a large tribe, with many branches.

The Forest of Group Stars can be seen as a main stem formed by the convergence of many branches, with a scale far exceeding the Federation, enjoying a significant reputation throughout the Great Universe as a first-class civilization.

As for the Federation, according to Aunt Mu, ten thousand years ago, just by the strength of their top tier—the Seven Marshals—they could join the ranks of the top tier among countless civilizations!
