Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 217 - 138: The Nature of Hunting War

On the spaceship heading to White Jade City.

Ji Jingqiu sat beside the porthole.

He originally planned to come alone but couldn't resist when Ge Hong volunteered to accompany him.

"Ji, this selection competition is a bit different from the previous ones," Ge Hong, who had studied the rules for a long time, looked up seriously and said, "This time it's actually a hunting survival game."

"Hunting survival game?"

"Yes, it involves placing all martial artists on a planet, or within a certain area, where everyone hunts and fights each other, and the person with the highest score at the end wins."

Ge Hong scratched his head, a hint of worry in his eyes,

"Previously it was just a ring competition, I did not expect it to turn out like this. Ring competitions are relatively fair, but hunting survival games are very much dependent on luck and relationships."

"If you're unlucky, you could be easily targeted at the start, especially those martial artists with prominent reputations—they tend to get teamed up against and eliminated early on, a scenario that is not uncommon."

He was a bit worried for Ji Jingqiu, who by now was definitely well-known among his peers; gaining fame from just the eighth level, yet he had rarely fought against his peers, making him a one-battle wonder.

That kind of situation makes it easy to become a target, to be eliminated early.

After all, survival games are not like ring fights, they don't talk about fairness, they talk about "comprehensive strength."

On the path of Martial Arts, luck and relationships are all part of strength!

"Ji, have you made any friends recently? Later, try to connect with them to build up good relations!"

Ji Jingqiu, caressing the handle of Green Master's saber, said, "This is my friend."

Ge Hong was momentarily speechless.

Ji Jingqiu took the procedure manual and quickly glanced through it.

The fight would take place in a virtual world specially prepared by the Federation, gathering at White Jade City...

Seeing this, Ji Jingqiu touched his chin.

A virtual world?

Whoever believes that is a fool.

Just from the information Ji Jingqiu had extracted from Master Sui these days, he firmly believed that this selection competition was not as simple as before.

In Master Sui's words, it was a relic hunting battle, focusing on hunting and exploration, and scores would be comprehensively settled in the end.

But the problem was, where did the Federation get such relics, especially in a virtual world?

Combining the information previously disclosed by Yue Yourong, the situation was roughly clear.

Most importantly, in Master Sui's words, the martial artists could gain a lot of benefits in this struggle, such as accelerating the creation of cultivation bodies.

This point certainly could not be from normally entering a virtual world through a "Mind Cabin."

Or, the virtual world technology of the Federation was always incredible, able to perfectly replicate and sync the physical data of martial artists, and allowing them to exert all their strength inside, including the unique power of Heart Electricity.

He had reasons to suspect that this was related to Hel, also nicknamed the "Dream God."

Had the Federation found some special way to let them enter that world?

Looking out the porthole, the towering tower standing between heaven and earth drew closer, and Ji Jingqiu suddenly said:

"White Jade City is up ahead, the suppression on the Power of the Spirit is much less here, you can try to condense Heart Electricity here."

Heart Electricity is a necessary condition for cultivating superior cultivation bodies, and Ge Hong has formed a Mid-grade cultivation body, with his Spiritual Cultivation being average, having not yet condensed Heart Electricity.

"Alright, Ji," Ge Hong scratched his head and immediately sat down cross-legged on the floor.

Waiting for Ge Hong to enter the cultivation state, Ji Jingqiu took out the terminal, and opened the Group Stars elite list he had just demanded from Zhuang Yanxing.

Heavenly Mechanism Dojo may be named a dojo, but behind it was an information company, as explained by Zhuang Yanxing, their master had long struggled to find disciples that met his expectations and was troubled by the lack of sources of new disciples.

—The Federation's most stable sources of disciples were perennially monopolized by the ten great academies and other official forces, while the dojos and companies were left to gather their own from the general populace.

Thus, the Heavenly Mechanism Daoist had simply started an information company related to Martial Arts, filtering out suitably aged genius martial artists from it, not expecting it to grow so prosperous that it eventually led directly to the establishment of Heavenly Mechanism Dojo.

The list featured 47 martial artists evaluated as Superior and 10 as Upper Upper Level, updated until the deadline.

Ji Jingqiu found his own name among the Upper Upper Level listing, but behind it was an (Temporary).

Temporary?

The end of the list also said:

—Every year in the martial artists' competition, there will be genius martial artists who break through their limitations to reach higher levels, and dark horses emerge; this time will be no exception, this list is for reference only.

Ji Jingqiu took a screenshot of his own name and sent it to Zhuang Yanxing, then began browsing from start to finish, looking for targets.

For instance, martial artists close to Mude Daoist School and the Li Family.

The former had openly targeted him during a Four Guardian Stars high-level meeting, labeling him as "targeted by Hel" and proposing his elimination to prevent too deep an involvement with Hel that could bring instability.

Looking at it now... in some sense, they were not wrong.

But that's not important.

What's important was that in that meeting, Master Bai Lu specifically calculated a fortune for them, stating that no one from Mude Daoist School would pass this selection competition.

Everyone knows, Bai Lu of Dragon Tiger Dojo is unparalleled in fortune-telling.

As a core disciple of the dojo, Ji Jingqiu naturally needed to uphold the reputation of his sect.

Zhuang Yanxing had sent him the VIP version, which not only had names but also included brief introductions, including origins, cultivation bodies, and preferred weapons.

Soon, Ji Jingqiu found a commonality in the list: those classified as Superior had at least Perfect cultivation bodies, forming Three Divine Miracles, while those ranked as Upper Upper Level had formed Four Divine Miracles.

Soon after, Zhuang Yanxing replied:
