Fulu Rubik's Cube

Even outside the Azure Realm, one could feel the fluctuations in vital energy caused by the advancement of countless practitioners.

Ding Xiaoxiao looked at the many changes that took place in the realm and couldn't help but say:

"Junior brother, the rules of the Azure Realm are constantly being improved, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is vast. Junior brother, why don't you enter the realm to share some of the benefits?"

As a Taoist master, Ding Xiaoxiao knew very well how much tremendous spiritual energy from heaven and earth was needed to achieve the status of a Taoist master. Seeing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he naturally spoke up to persuade.

Zhang Ke smiled faintly:

"Every bite and every drink has its own cause and effect. If you take something from someone, you will naturally return it with interest when the time comes.

Therefore, although my Dharma is integrated with the boundaries, my Way cannot be bound by the boundaries.

What's more

Zhang Ke smiled slyly and said leisurely:

"Besides, this realm is all mine, so why should we differentiate between us?"

The more Zhang Ke practiced, the more he understood the balance of cause and effect. Therefore, although he envied the infinite vitality in the realm at this moment, he did not take a single cent.

Ding Xiaoxiao couldn't help but admire.

Everyone who has reached a certain level of cultivation understands the law of cause and effect, but how many people can really resist the temptation of breaking through this level, especially high-level cultivators?

"Boom~~Boom~~"

With the introduction of infinite spiritual energy, and the incorporation of countless great rules and laws of heaven, the blue world is rapidly expanding.

Because of its great momentum, it actually sounded like a mountain collapsing and rocks cracking in the silent void.

The blue world was expanding rapidly, and in just seven days, its edge touched the meteorite belt that protected the world.

Zhang Ke looked serious as he displayed the thirty-six great magical powers of 'Moving Stars and Changing Constellations', 'Mediating the Creation', and 'Reversing Yin and Yang' to guide the 'Hunyuan Heluo Zhoutian Star Array' to constantly change.

Integrate millions of meteorites of all sizes into the blue world.

This process was extremely difficult and took three years to complete.

As countless meteorites merged into the blue world, the changes in the world became even more significant. Strands of golden light emanated from every corner of the world and from the body of every living creature.

Three years later, Zhang Ke integrated the last thousands of meteorites into an island reef within the realm. There was silence in the blue realm at first, and then a loud noise like the collapse of heaven and earth sounded in the void.

"boom--"

Immediately afterwards, a pure golden light with a diameter of hundreds of feet rose from the blue world and rushed directly towards Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke closed and opened his eyes, and a dark golden cauldron instantly appeared in front of him.

This tripod has two ears and four legs. It is nine feet long, four feet wide and five feet high. The body of the tripod is engraved with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, plants, fish and insects, and more importantly, there are countless human figures guarding every place.

The Wheel of Merit Pool!
Zhang Ke stretched out his hand and the golden light was immediately drawn into the cauldron.

But this was just the beginning. A moment later, billions of golden light pillars rose in the blue world, gathered into a sea and clouds, and were led into the merit pool in a mighty manner.

Ding Xiaoxiao looked at the scene in daze.

The endless golden light is the merit and fortune reflected by all living things in the realm.

And since infinite merits and fortune have been generated, it means that the ascension of the Azure Realm has been completed.

But she didn't understand why Zhang Ke didn't integrate the merit and luck into himself. In her estimation, if he absorbed this infinite merit and luck, Zhang Ke would be promoted to a Taoist master in just a thought.

However, at this time, Ding Xiaoxiao had more important things to ask.

"Junior brother, has the realm been successfully upgraded?"

Although Ding Xiaoxiao is a Taoist master, the heaven where she lived in her previous life was itself a vast world, and she had never experienced any realm upgrade in her life.

Zhang Ke is the host of the realm's upgrading. Only he can know whether the realm's upgrading is successful.

Zhang Ke shook his head and said:

"There's still one step left."

"I wonder what's missing?"

Zhang Ke looked at the azure world with his eyes filled with gray mist, and said in a concentrated voice:
"Set rules and regulations!"

As he spoke, Zhang Ke stretched his five fingers into the pool of merit in front of him, scooped out a stream of merit and luck and threw it towards the Azure World.

"Yin and Yang are determined, and the six paths of reincarnation are established!"

As Zhang Ke opened his mouth, his voice echoed throughout the three realms of the Azure Realm and even into the void.

"Yin and Yang are determined, and the six paths of reincarnation are established!"

"Yin and Yang are determined, and the six paths of reincarnation are established!"

"Yin and Yang are determined."

Zhang Ke's action seemed like just a light scoop, but the merit and luck in the merit pool suddenly dropped by 30%.

Everywhere in the blue world.

Whether it is mountains and swamps, rivers, snow-capped mountains, or human cities, the scenes of the underworld are manifested above almost every area.

I saw a beam of golden light descending from the sky into the underworld, gathering the laws of the underworld and deriving a six-colored circular bronze reincarnation portal in it.

It is unknown how high this reincarnation portal is, and it seems to include the entire underworld.

A beam of golden light traveled between the bronze reincarnation portals, splitting into six paths in the middle, revealing six circular arches at different levels.

When viewed from the front, one can only see a portal burning with the flames of hell.

Six golden needles of different lengths pointed in six directions, interlacing and rotating continuously.

The way of gods, the way of humans, the way of Asuras, the way of hell, the way of hungry ghosts, and the way of animals!

The six ghost symbols appear alternately around this reincarnation portal.

There is clearly only one portal, but it is compatible with all six paths at the same time.

The six realms of reincarnation have been broken for hundreds of thousands of years, and countless ghosts have already accumulated in the underworld.

Seeing the six paths of reincarnation reopened at this time, countless ghosts followed their instincts, howling and rushing into the portal of reincarnation.

But as the six golden needles turned, they swept the endless ghosts into six different paths.

If you look closely, you can see that the good and evil causes and effects accumulated by each ghost in his life are integrated into the golden needle and then drawn into the six different paths in batches.

"The blood of all living things in the world is recorded in the Book of Life and Death, and good and evil deeds will all have their consequences."

The sound of Zhang Key's jade chime was heard again between heaven and earth.

Countless creatures looked at the scene appearing above their heads and suddenly felt awe in their hearts.

God is watching what we do. Even after death, all our merits and demerits will be punished.

After the voice was transmitted from heaven to earth three times, countless golden lights suddenly fell between heaven and earth and merged into the bodies of all practitioners.

The merit luck in the merit pool decreased by 30% again.

The voice of the Tao sounded again.

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth has its own fixed amount. Practitioners go against the will of heaven and must endure forty-nine heavenly tribulations before they can become true immortals."

"The spiritual power of heaven and earth has its own fixed limit. Practitioners go against the will of heaven and must endure forty-nine heavenly tribulations before they can become true immortals."

"The inspiration of heaven and earth has its own limit,"

When this voice came out, countless practitioners in the world couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

Zhang Ke has been promoting the strategy of helping all the people become successful and spreading the way of spiritual practice throughout his life, but why is it that he has now imposed restrictions on practitioners?

This sentence is easy to understand. It means that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth is limited and cannot be supplied to all practitioners for their practice. When a practitioner breaks through the Jindan realm, he will suffer from forty-nine heavenly tribulations. Only those who can survive can continue to practice.

By analogy, I am afraid that the Yuanshen and Daojun after the Jindan realm will also have to go through tribulations before they can break through.

The power of the forty-nine heavenly tribulations had long been known to practitioners all over the world after Zhang Ke established the "Heavenly Palace".

The two rules and decrees, the first one aimed at all living things in the world, and the second one aimed at all practitioners in the world, directly caused dissatisfaction among countless people.

Correspondingly, the 'Hunyuan Heluo Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array' that was operating between heaven and earth showed a delay.

At the same time, as the merits and fortune were integrated into their bodies, every practitioner suddenly became clearer.

If you are willing to follow this rule and command, merit and luck will naturally enter your body, and you will also be blessed by merit and luck in your future practice.

On the contrary, if one is unwilling to obey this order, his merits and fortune will leave his body in a moment.

Not only will it deprive you of the rapid progress of your cultivation due to your merit and luck, but you will also not be protected by your merit and luck in your future cultivation.

Countless practitioners couldn't help but feel hesitant.

The selfishness of human nature is undoubtedly revealed, as people want to continue to obtain the benefits brought by merit and fortune, but at the same time they do not want to be protected by the loss of merit and fortune.

However, many practitioners also make decisions at this time. They believe that practice is their own business and should not be bound by heaven and earth.

At this moment, millions of golden lights rose between heaven and earth, and at the same time, the realms of millions of practitioners were knocked down.

Zhang Ke didn't care about the choices of those millions of practitioners.

The rules have been set, whether to follow them depends on one's heart.

He stretched out his hand again, scooped up the last four parts of virtue and luck, and sprinkled them towards the blue world for the last time.

“The heaven and earth are in order, the great way has rules, and the Azure Realm deserves the ninth position of the Heavenly Lord.

One hundred and eight great Dao sects were established, thirty-six cave heavens were established in the thirty-six heavens, and seventy-two blessed lands were established in the realm. Only the sect of the Dao Master could control them.

There are three thousand left-wing sects and eight hundred side sects, all of which are managed by Daojun Sanxian.

Below them are all Dharma lineages, which are controlled by Yuanshen Zhenjun.

All the above sects and lineages are subject to the orders of the Heavenly Court!"

As Zhang Ke uttered the sound of the great way, the remaining four merits and fortunes split into one and scattered throughout the world.

Half of them turned into 108 golden lights and entered the thirty-sixth heaven.

Wherever a ray of golden light fell, it immediately merged with the hanging mountain where it was located to form a spiritual place, with the ceiling falling, the vital energy surging, and the shadows of the sun, moon and stars appearing in it.

Countless natural treasures and precious medicines such as Ganoderma lucidum emerged from the spiritual land like mushrooms after a spring rain.

Hundreds of thousands of hanging mountains rotated and moved, gathering in thirty-six spiritual places in layers. The spiritual places burst out with golden light, connecting the hanging mountains together to form an endless mountain range.

The thirty-six heavens are like thirty-six circular mountain ranges from top to bottom that cover the azure world.

In the realm, the other half of the merit and fortune was split and flew to various places, forming seventy-two blessed places.

There is spiritual energy inside, and precious light shines into the sky, which is no worse than the thirty-six caves in heaven.

The remaining half of the merit and fortune was once again divided into two, one half was divided into 3,800 paths that fell all over the realm, and the other half exploded like fireworks, dividing into 100,000 paths that were scattered all over the world.

Zhang Ke issued three great Dao edicts, and the Azure Realm finally perfected the last bit of the great Dao rules for the realm's ascension.

Endless vitality and spiritual light were as bright as clouds, bursting out with dazzling seven-color rainbows, filling every corner of the Azure Realm. At this moment, the entire Azure Realm was shrouded in colorful rays of light.

The brilliant and mighty light shot straight into the sky and lasted for nearly three months.

Three months later, when the endless rays of light faded away, the azure world once again came into the eyes of Zhang Ke and the other three, and they all held their breath.

The volume of the Azure Realm at this time has increased at least ten times compared to before the dimensional ascension.

He and the other three were originally tens of thousands of miles away from the Azure Realm, but now they felt that it was very close.

The vast ocean of vital energy outside the realm is now covered by only wisps of clouds.

The blue world is full of continuous mountains, surrounded by clouds and mist, and filled with spiritual energy, just like a fairyland.

The pure and spiritual energy gathered into clouds that filled the forests and valleys. The precious spiritual light was as vast as stars and could be seen everywhere in the mountains, forests, grasses, and streams.

Spiritual plants grow everywhere like weeds, the mountain spring is full of spiritual energy, and the misty air sways on the water surface.

Every stone, every drop of dew, and every blade of grass contains abundant vitality.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Clusters of spiritual light burst out from various nodes of the 'Hunyuan Heluo Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array', and countless practitioners who had broken through to new realms were ecstatic.

After quietly sensing the blue world for a moment, Zhang Ke let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ah~~Finally, finally succeeded!"

Ding Xiaoxiao and Qingmei on the side withdrew their gazes and looked at Zhang Ke.

"Junior brother, was the realm realm upgrade successful?"

Zhang Ke nodded and said:
“The rules of the realm’s avenues have been integrated into the star domain, and the laws of heaven have also been perfected.

Inspiration sprouts within it, all living things come to life, and the vital energy is in particle form, containing a hint of spirituality.

Compared to before, there has been a qualitative change. I think the world is like this too!"

Zhang Ke had never been to the Great Thousand Worlds, and he had made breakthroughs in his realm entirely through deduction and conjecture.

Little do people know that this is in line with the natural order of things.

Every world in the universe is unique, and is created by chance through the integration of infinite resources.

Zhang Ke looked quietly at the Azure Realm, a realm that had taken him nearly a thousand years to successfully ascend to.

"I wonder what the difference is between the Great Thousand Worlds and the Middle Thousand Worlds?"

Zhang Ke muttered to himself, and at the same time, he sent a trace of his spiritual power into the realm to investigate.

Ding Xiaoxiao and Qingmei also used their spiritual thoughts to explore the blue world.

After a moment, Zhang Ke retracted his thoughts and chuckled:
"The life span of ordinary creatures has increased by about 30%, their bloodlines are clearer, and it is easier to awaken magical powers."

Ding Xiaoxiao nodded and said:

"I have examined three thousand pregnant women. The humans born from now on will be born with smooth meridians, exquisite seven orifices, and the spiritual roots of yin and yang and the five elements."

Qingmei shook her head and said:

"This is the result of the awakening of spiritual power when the realm is upgraded. It is not normal. Only creatures born within the next thirty years will have this kind of spiritual root phenomenon.

According to my inference, the bloodline will become prominent within sixty years, then it will enter a latent state, and after a hundred years, it will return to normal.

but"

Qingmei smiled and continued:
“However, because it is you who led the realm’s ascension, the human race within the realm will be protected by the good fortune of merit.

I explored with my sword heart and discovered that the human race in this world will be born with characteristics such as dexterity, wisdom, and longevity in the future, and practitioners will awaken more bloodline magical powers.

But how can we truly determine that the realm has been successfully upgraded?"

Listening to Qingmei and Ding Xiaoxiao chatting with each other, Zhang Ke couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"That's easy to determine."

Zhang Ke turned to Ding Xiaoxiao and said:
"Senior Sister, please try to enter the realm."

Ding Xiaoxiao couldn't help but slap his forehead and said with a wry smile:
"I had forgotten that."

Ding Xiaoxiao is now a Dao Master, and the Middle Thousand Worlds cannot accommodate someone like her. If she can enter the Azure Realm, it will prove that the realm has been successfully upgraded.

After Ding Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she took a deep breath and stepped forward.

In an instant, light and shadow flow, and flowers of all seasons bloom around it.

The next second, Ding Xiaoxiao's figure no longer existed in the void, only countless gorgeous petals floating in the void.

Zhang Ke sent out his spiritual probe, which instantly scanned the blue world and discovered that Ding Xiaoxiao had appeared on the Great Penglai Island in Laizhou, Eastern Region.

The appearance of Ding Xiaoxiao also means that the Blue Realm has successfully upgraded its dimension.

'Haha, the realm has been successfully upgraded, but I don't know how many Dao Masters will appear in this realm. I am really looking forward to it.'

Thinking in his mind, Zhang Ke waved his hand to tear the space apart, and took Qingmei through the space crack and entered the blue world.

After the cracked space appeared on the Great Penglai Island, Zhang Ke finally had the most basic understanding of the universe.

The space barrier has become solid. Now, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Daojun to destroy the space barrier in his battle.

The news that Zhang Ke had returned to the "Xiantian Yiqi Nanzong" spread throughout the world in the shortest possible time.

One day later, hundreds of Taoist masters from various sects came together to seek a meeting.

In the Lingxiao Palace, Zhang Ke sat high on the throne, with Qingmei and Ding Xiaoxiao sitting on his left and right respectively.

Hundreds of Taoist Lords, including the Taoist Lord Xiaoyao of the Great Freedom Heaven Palace, the Taoist Lord Shouzheng of the Daode Sect, the Taoist Lord Dinghui of the Great Posuo Temple, etc., stood neatly under the thirty-three jade steps.

Zhang Ke glanced at everyone with his eyes filled with gray mist, and asked:
"The realm has been successfully upgraded. Why are you here instead of practicing in the sect?"

Taoist Xiaoyao and others looked at each other, and he was the first to bow.

"Emperor, when the realm was ascending, the Emperor once said that each sect in the world has a fixed number, and there are only 108 Dao sects among them, and only Dao Zun can be in charge. I wonder if this statement has determined the number of Dao Zun in this realm?"

He did not ask about the position of Heavenly Venerable, as that was something only Zhang Ke could decide.

Zhang Ke looked around at everyone for a moment. From their expressions, he knew that this was everyone's question. He nodded and said:
"Yes, although this world has been successfully upgraded, there are still many practitioners in the world, and the vitality of heaven and earth is insufficient, so it needs to be restricted."

Daoist Master Xiaoyao gritted his teeth and asked:

"Then I wonder how these one hundred and eight Dao Masters are positioned?"

Zhang Ke spoke calmly.

"In the world of realm ascension, the barrier for Daojun to become Daozun has disappeared. The position of Daozun should be determined by the opportunity of promotion. This is set by the rules of the Great Dao."

This is easy to understand. Whoever breaks through first will occupy a position as a Dao Zun.

Taoist Xiaoyao couldn't help but retort:

"Emperor, there are already 800 Dao Lords in this world. If they are positioned like this, then most of them will not be able to be promoted."

Zhang Ke looked solemn and said in a deep voice:

"The spiritual energy of this world is now sprouting, and it is extremely easy to achieve the status of a Taoist Lord and a Sanxian. If it is not restricted, the spiritual energy of the world will not be able to withstand the breathing of too many Taoist Lords. Therefore, you must break through quickly, otherwise..."

Zhang Ke didn't say much, but everyone understood the meaning of his words.

Taoist Xiaoyao was silent for a moment and spoke again.

"What all practitioners seek is the Great Dao. The Emperor's actions have cut off the path for those who come after him. There may be disasters in the future."

Zhang Ke was indifferent.

"In the past, Daojun Sanxian was already the pinnacle of cultivation in this world, and no one ever questioned it. But now that he has broken the barriers of realm, it has caused dissatisfaction, haha!"

Taoist Xiaoyao and hundreds of others remained silent.

Seeing that it is easy to become a Taoist, even if there are no Taoists as numerous as dogs in the world in the future and their spirits are everywhere, Taoists and immortals will definitely not have the authority they once had.

As a vested interest, with the ties to the sect behind him, who would be willing to lose the power in his hands?

Zhang Ke waited for a while, but no one spoke. He hesitated for a moment and said slowly:

"However, the rank of Dao Zun is not unchangeable."

Taoist Xiaoyao and others couldn't help but feel refreshed when they heard this.

At this moment, he didn't care whether Zhang Ke was using this to control everyone, he just wanted to know how to break the deadlock.

Taoist Xiaoyao was the first to bow and salute.

"Please give me some advice, Emperor!"

Hundreds of Dao Lords behind him also bowed and saluted.

"Please give me some advice, Emperor!"

Zhang Ke looked at everyone indifferently.

“The reason why there is a fixed number of Dao Masters is because this world cannot bear the practice of too many Dao Masters.

but"

Zhang Ke stared at the people below the stairs with his eyes filled with gray mist.

“Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure is the right approach.

Limiting the number of Dao Zuns is just a way to save money.

If this world continues to grow and its size increases, it will naturally be able to accommodate more Dao Masters. This is a strategy to increase revenue. Do you understand?"

A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Taoist Xiaoyao's mind.

He got it.

It's not that the Azure Realm cannot bear too many Dao Masters, but Zhang Ke wants to use this to force the sects in the world to go out to fight, seize more worlds, and make the Azure Realm grow rapidly.

Thinking about the great calamity that would befall the immortal cultivators, it was clear that Zhang Ke was preparing for the future war.

But even if we see this, what's the use? This is an open conspiracy.

Taoist Xiaoyao took a deep breath and bowed for the third time.

"May I ask the Emperor, if we are at a disadvantage in the war outside, can we ask for help from the Heavenly Court?"

Zhang Ke slowly stood up from the throne and spoke word by word:
"Just go ahead and do it. The Heavenly Court army is on standby, waiting for your news."

Taoist Xiaoyao looked back at everyone and bowed down.

"I will obey the emperor's decree!"

Hundreds of Dao Lords behind him also bowed down.

"I will obey the Emperor's order!" (End of this chapter)
