Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 340 - 170: The Superiority of the System, A Sudden Murder (9k)_2

"Dongyang, I hear your company's lad is about to break through to Arrogant Sun's level of combat power. Aren't you going to check out his performance?" A Martial Artist turned back and said with a laugh.

Beicang Commerce Alliance's Heavenly Human Martial Artist Lin Dongyang's body tensed up, feigning indifference as he waved his hand:

"No need, there's nothing worth seeing in that brat's performance; it's just a formality this time. We should pay attention to some others instead, like the True Dragon from the Ke family."

"The Ke family..." Someone seemed to recall something and said, "Hasn't the Ke family's layout on the Heavenly Road been reeled in yet? I heard Ji Linyuan has already made an appearance?"

"He did appear, inexplicably picking a fight with the Supreme True Buddha Sect, forcing that Dharma King to call upon the protection of the Supreme True Buddha."

"Really?! Back then, Zuo Qianqiu was known as the person closest to Grandmaster status a hundred years ago. What realm is Ji Linyuan at now?"

"It's hard to say, but he's probably still a bit short of reaching the Grandmaster's level."

"You are all behind on the news. Ji Linyuan has already infiltrated the Heavenly Road, rescued a few old friends, and injured several Heavenly Persons from both the Ke family and the Wanwu Association. Afterwards, he was pursued by the Grandmaster of the Ke family deep into the Heavenly Road. It's said that in the end, he severely injured the Ke family's Grandmaster with the help of 01."

"01..." Someone frowned.

Number 01 among the Wilderness Four Demons, even the name is a forbidden existence!

"Let's hope Ji Linyuan doesn't get too entangled with 01, otherwise it won't just be the Ke family targeting him." Someone's voice turned chilly.

Many slightly nodded their heads; they treated the "love-hate relationship" between the Ke family and Ji Linyuan as a spectacle and had no interest in intervening to favor either side.

But if Ji Linyuan were to fall into the abyss and side with 01, then they would have no choice.

For the Federation, a Martial Artist with Ji Linyuan's potential siding with 01 would mean big trouble.

To lighten the suddenly heavy mood in the room, someone whispered, "It is said that Ke Pingluan's rise in this generation of the Ke family was because the old ancestor felt that outsiders were unreliable after the defection of Ji Linyuan."

"The Great Grandmaster's own grandson..." Someone transmitted a voice message quietly, concealing their identity, "That one is still as robust as ever in old age."

This caused many in the room to react with odd expressions.

Although Ke Pingluan was not the Great Grandmaster's direct child, he was his grandson, and his father was born only within this century...

"In the era before the Spirit Ocean emerged, the cosmic rules of the Great Universe were ten, a hundred times more stable than they are now. The cultivation system of your Federation would not have been possible back then."

"In the era when the Nether Sea did not emerge and the Ten Thousand Skills were dormant, the Bloodline Path was the only cultivation system that could reliably break through the suppression of cosmic rules."

"Apart from that, there is a system like that of the Holy Empire, which worships Gods, cultivates by borrowing the power of Gods. Although it can also break through the suppression of cosmic rules, it relies heavily on Gods, and is limited by the Gods worshipped - one cannot surpass the realm of the worshipped God, and it's far less free than the Bloodline Path."

"Therefore, all things considered, the Bloodline Path is the most cost-effective path."

"Your Yanhuang Federation's path is strong, but it's not valued by most first-rate civilizations because your path is not stable. Once the Nether Sea hides again and the cosmic rules are once more suppressed, your path will be sealed."

The blonde, blue-eyed Elf girl said earnestly.

In her gaze full of empathy, Ji Jingqiu, deep in thought, put the freshly picked Life Flower into his mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed.

In the Inner Realm world, another emerald drop fell into the Lotus Pond, adding a bit more mysterious charm to the pond.

He was consulting with the girl, wanting to understand the cultivation systems of other civilizations.

The systems of the Holy Hall and Luofeng that he had encountered so far were similar yet different from that of the Federation.

Comparatively, the system of the Nine States was more akin to the Federation's, especially the Bloodline Path's Bloodline Body.

Hmm, it should actually be the other way around; after all, figures like Marshal He from the past borrowed from the Nine States' system, combined with some ancient scriptures, and created the unique Martial Arts path of the Federation.

As for the path being sealed, mentioned by Mu Rouzhi...

As long as Lady La lives, the Federation will not perish!

"Do the Elves also follow the Bloodline Path?"

"There are many branches among the Elf Clan; some branches follow the Bloodline Path, but more are in-between worshipping Gods and the Bloodline Path. For example, our high Elves' lineage relies on the spiritual inheritance of the Holy Tree within our clan."

"I'm quite curious, what is the attitude of civilizations in the Great Universe towards the Sea of Souls?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

"Of course, they don't like it."

The Elf girl said softly,

"Every emergence of the Nether Sea signifies great turmoil, bringing forth many variables and ambitious figures."

"Isn't your Federation a variable? In just ten thousand years, it has completed the journey that other civilizations might take tens to hundreds of millions of years to complete."

Ji Jingqiu nodded, somewhat understanding.

In the eyes of civilizations with complete cultivation systems, the Nether Sea might bring opportunities, but it also brings significant variables.

By comparison, they prefer stability.

The Yanhuang Federation, for instance, is a variable among variables.

Strictly speaking, the Seven Marshals have taken less than a hundred years, from scratch, to touch the limits of cultivation of other civilizations.

The more such variables exist, the worse it is for those already-standing peak, top-tier civilizations; it threatens their dominance and monopoly.

After extracting a lot of insider information on various civilizations' systems from the Elf girl, Ji Jingqiu summarized and refined the information—
