Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 266 - 151: Curses Surround the True Self, Divine Temple Offers Aid
Long Qingyang glanced at the Water Moon Pearl spinning smoothly in front of Ji Jingqiu.
It had never been so proactive in a thousand years.
This object was once tainted by the ignited divinity of Wan Chengcang, and it has since become more than just a simple object, possessing spirituality, otherwise, it wouldn't qualify as a heritage object.
"This item you can temporarily hold and play with in your hands, but you must not take it away from the dojo," Long Qingyang pointed at the Water Moon Pearl, "When you later enter the Chains and need to nurture your Divine Skills, you can come here and formally take it away."
"Thank you, Grandmaster Long!"
"Mhm." Long Qingyang faintly responded and then turned to leave.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Ji Jingqiu always felt that Grandmaster Long suddenly seemed somewhat dispirited at the end.
Should he have addressed him as Lord Long instead?
He spread open his palm, and the All Phenomena Pearl landed in his hand; after playing with it for a moment, he once again entered into cultivation.
In the following days, besides contemplating the Formless Daoist Scripture, Ji Jingqiu also took the opportunity to observe Shi's process of Reverse Innate.
To be honest, there wasn't much of a process, Shi just sat for a moment and then broke through.
The main interest was in the subsequent transformation, Shi successfully entered the Peak of Postnatal with the help of Reverse Innate, the Dao Body Progress reached 99.9%, and Divine Form began to condense Qi Force.
His Dragon Tiger Qi Force meandered in the air, condensing into a vivid golden dragon and a fierce tiger, with an imposing aura, and spirited eyes, as if they truly possessed spirit!
As for the Dharma Body Domain, Shi needed more time to nurture.
At this point, Shi had set a foot on the threshold of the Arrogant Sun.
Afterward, Ji Jingqiu challenged Shi and discovered that Shi's Qi Force power had almost doubled compared to a few days ago!
His Qi Force contained Divine Form, a transformation akin to rebirth.
With each movement, he demonstrated the immense power of the Dragon and Tiger, and at this point, his Dragon Veins and Tiger Bones had truly achieved Great Success.
After witnessing the amplification of the 99.9% Dao Body, Ji Jingqiu continued to forge his Cultivation Body, while also looking forward to the arrival of the Arhat Fruit.
Thus, after another half-a-month, with the consumption of a large amount of resources, Ji Jingqiu barely managed to push the progress of the Formless Dao Body from 96% to 98.1%.
The further along, the more difficult each step became, in all honesty.
This progress already qualified him to make use of the power of Reverse Innate to enter the final barriers.
But he had yet to sense the mysterious reciprocal induction of Reverse Innate.
According to what Shi mentioned, when the time comes, he would naturally sense the chance of Reverse Innate, this feeling was very mysterious, hard to describe, similar to when initiating the Heavenly Person Door, but much more profound and vague.
Fortunately.
This day, thanks to a friendly sponsorship from Bone Arhat, the Arhat Fruit also arrived.
This time it was not delivered by Cheetah Express, but by a special person directly to the door, with the delivery point not in the Four Guardian Stars, but in another central area.
Ji Jingqiu had Qinglan send someone for the task, and he safely retrieved the Arhat Fruit and had it delivered to the Dragon Tiger Dojo.
Recently, during his comprehension of the All Phenomena Pearl at the Dragon Tiger Dojo, with the assistance of the latter, the speed of his Formless Dao Body forging slightly accelerated, although not much, it was still better than nothing.
At this step, Professor Zuo and their team could no longer assist him.
After all, the martial artists they had assisted usually stagnated after reaching 90% completion.
...
That day.
Ji Jingqiu sat alone in a single dwelling on the mountainside, adjusting his state, and then he opened the sealed box.
Upon opening, a rich and fragrant freshness instantly pervaded his nostrils, penetrating his internal organs, just the scent made him feel mentally clear and physically relaxed, as if soaking in a medicinal bath of special properties.
Quietly resting in the box was a golden fruit, the size of a dragon eye, half translucent and half physical, straddling between illusion and reality.
Curiously observing, Ji Jingqiu examined it.
This was the Arhat Fruit.
It was said that this object was originally planted in the Spirit Ocean, later transplanted by a Martial Arts powerhouse, its essence being some kind of "Rule of Law" rather than purely plant life.
After being transplanted out of the Spirit Ocean and combining with the rules of the Great Universe, it underwent a peculiar change; half "solidified" into plant life, while the other half still existed in the form of Law rules.
The Arhat Fruits it bore were also half real, half illusionary.
Ji Jingqiu recalled the consumption precautions explained by Bone Arhat.
He wrapped the Arhat Fruit with his Qi Force, careful not to touch it directly with his hands, and gently placed it in his mouth; the sweet and fragrant flesh instantly transformed into a divine, ambrosial fluid, sliding down his throat.
Soon, the delightful fruit nectar instantly transformed into a golden divine glow, infiltrating his internal organs, rushing towards his limbs and bones.
Besides having the effect of guiding Reverse Innate, the most fundamental medicinal property of the Arhat Fruit was its ability to cleanse the physical body.
As the Arhat Fruit completely dissolved, its medicinal power nourished his body, repeatedly refining his flesh.
As time passed, his already robust physique, prominent among his contemporaries, was further enhanced through his flesh, organs, and bones.
"Wasn't it said to have the effect of guiding Reverse Innate..." Ji Jingqiu puzzled internally.
Suddenly, a golden divine glow formed by the medicinal power disappeared into thin air after passing through his limbs and bones.
Ji Jingqiu's perception suddenly expanded in that instant, while he was sitting in the courtyard, he could "see" every single plant within a hundred meters.
He found himself in an unprecedented clarity and serenity, all doubts and concerns, all Chains and constraints, seemed to dissipate at this moment.
In this moment.
He seemed to hear a call from the soul, feeling "True Self" unequivocally distinct!
