Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

Chapter 937 341: Karmic Fire Consumes the Body, Refining Wuzhou

He attempted to trace these lines of karma, but ultimately found no source.Under Hel's urging, Ji Jingqiu refocused his attention on his own karmic fire.

The karmic lines of his own being seemed vast but were in fact mostly illusory, with very few being real, thus igniting a limited karmic fire.

In Hel's words, they were indeed insignificant for him, not even enough to weather a fire disaster.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly sighed softly.

He had come to understand some crucial insights.

In the past, Master Mu's cultivation path was plagued by the interference of red dust karmic force and karma fate, refining a Bodhi Heart, ultimately blooming into Pure Glaze, achieving Infinite Wisdom Light and opening the Fire House Buddha Hell.

The path he was on differed significantly from Master Mu's, even to the point where it could be said to be...

...opposite.

Sensing the earnest anticipation from the Bodhi Tree, Ji Jingqiu realized that Hel, through a fortuitous mistake, had found the most suitable way for him to pass through the fire disaster.

For others, the Thunder Disaster among the Three Calamities is the most challenging, corresponding to heavenly tribulations and tribulation counts, where a slight misstep could result in death and Dao extinguishing.

But for him, the toughest to overcome was instead the fire disaster.

It wasn't that he couldn't endure a common fire disaster; rather, a small oversight could leave an irreparable regret at this stage.

This too was a kind of "tribulation crossing."

Other people's challenge is to endure the fire disaster, but his challenge lay in finding the correct fire disaster amidst the unknown.

From this perspective, Hel had, by accident, found his most suitable "fire disaster."

"Every sip and peck, isn't this also a kind of karma and fate?"

Through this exploration of the karmic lines, Ji Jingqiu finally touched upon the edge of the Karma Path, no longer erring in thought or speech.

He gently flicked his finger, a crisp "zing" sound, and a causal thread as thin as a filament shattered abruptly.

Suddenly.

Wuzhou's face changed, and the karmic fire on his surface surged upward!

Afterwards, Ji Jingqiu actively channeled and tempered this part of the karmic fire upon himself.

He used the Six Character Heavenly Sound of the World Venerable Lineage combined with I Am Supreme, to subdue his own spirit and physique, calmly enduring the tempering of karmic fire.

This was destined to be a long process.

Because he also invoked the fire disaster, to cross a karmic fire disaster unprecedented in history!

He withdrew the protection of the Bodhi Tree, letting the karmic fire engulf him, and began operating the Fire House Buddha Hell Visualization.

Sitting there calmly, unshakable, two small figures sat above and below, one at his brow and the other between his chest and internal organs, together with him accepting the burning of the karmic fire.

The one at the brow was the Spiritual Holy Embryo, while the one at the chest was the Physical Divine Embryo.

The fierce fire refines true gold, where failures turn to ashes and successes rise to a higher level.

Ji Jingqiu's Inner Heaven and Earth was also being cleansed by the karmic fire, his physique emitting an Infinite Light that intertwined with the karmic fire on him, yet remained distinct and separate.

Unbeknownst to him.

His entire skeleton snapped and crackled, radiating a transparent brightness.

Especially his internal organs, tempered to a point of rhythmic resonance, almost like five doorways, shaking as if about to open.

In the midst of this karmic fire burning, Ji Jingqiu's body was not harmed; instead, his whole aura grew stronger!

Not far away, Wuzhou's face twisted, immobilized by the heavy karmic lines.

Most intolerable to him was how this youth was using him as a furnace, channeling his karmic fire to temper himself!

"Not enough!"

"To use Wuzhou as a furnace to burn yourself, though risky, the benefits to you are beyond imagination..."

"This karmic fire differs from worldly karmic fire, containing myriad Dao Runes of Wuzhou transforming into Dao. By using it to burn yourself, you might be able to refine these Dao Runes into your body..."

"One by one inducing them is too slow. Cut more of his karmic lines, increase the firepower, ensuring both the refinement of yourself and preventing Wuzhou from escaping!"

In the Inner Realm, Hel was proactively offering plans, meticulously guiding, almost "hands-on teaching" for him.

Under Hel's guidance, Ji Jingqiu constantly stirred Wuzhou's karmic fire, transforming it into a furnace to envelop himself.

At the same time, the Bodhi Tree retracted the Glazed Glass Light, enduring the karmic fire's cleansing together, growing fresher and more vibrant in the sea of fire, exuding exuberant vitality.

In the end, Ji Jingqiu even brought out the Green Master, allowing it to bathe in the karmic fire, undergoing its tempering.

During this period, the Green Master melted several times, or was burned away by the karmic fire, but eventually withstood it all, experiencing a marvelous rebirth.

Ji Jingqiu vaguely guessed why Master Mu would ignite himself dozens of times in the past; karmic fire refining the golden body, though arduous, was a rare transformation for the martial artist.

His physique had long surpassed ordinary heavenly beings, and logically, to advance would follow only the path of honing the Inner Heaven and World.

Yet at this moment, under the forge of karmic fire, undergoing radical transformation, his body reorganized, like a snake shedding old skin, with tiny white bone fragments squeezed out from the skin, each bone in the forge of karmic fire reaching a pinnacle of sublimation, the invisible Dao engravings deeply etched into his flesh and bones with the tempering of the karmic fire...

This was a disaster, a tribulation, but also a rebirth.

Enduring someone else's karmic fire was also eroding another's karmic force.

During this time, Ji Jingqiu, through Wuzhou's karmic fire, saw numerous bizarre and fantastic visions.

The spirit seemed to fall into one unfamiliar world after another, sinking into them.

In Hel's words, this was also cultivation, the cultivation of the spirit.

As Ji Jingqiu immersed himself into cultivation.
