Chapter 510 Efficiency
"Have they all left?"

"all gone."

After hearing the report from the old Dragon King, Lu Ang finally felt relieved and let out a long sigh of relief.

These Confucianists are just inefficient. The other three have been here for almost half a month, but their delegation only arrived today. They are truly inhuman!
But it is understandable. Confucianism is not as united as the other two sects. It has many branches and a hundred schools of thought. Although Confucianism temporarily occupies the dominant position, many of the other schools of thought, such as Legalism, Military Science, Miscellaneous School, Agriculture School, etc., only follow orders and not declarations. Their fairyland are also very scattered. Therefore, since the Confucian saint died in the demon realm, the overall structure of Confucianism has become a mess.

There is even a powerful sect like the Mo Sect, which monopolizes an area, has directly separated itself, and has fought a battle with the Haoran Academy, in which it was not at a disadvantage. The two sides completely broke off relations and have not had any contact with each other for tens of thousands of years.

Once power is dispersed and people's hearts are not united, they will naturally be timid in doing things. Many times they have to rely on personal relationships, lobbyists, and pure profit-driven motivations to barely achieve certain established goals.

It’s a pity that they arrived so late. They may not be able to gain much benefit this time. After all, the Sea of ​​Tears is so small, and the intensity of work of the Taoist and Buddhist sects in the past half month is really terrifying.

Thinking of this, Lu Ang closed his eyes again and began to communicate with the inexplicable unknown place above his head.

The red and black karma inside was churning like blood, and looking at the amount, it had even reached more than half of the karma that Kunpeng Sect had obtained when the world was destroyed!
It's only been less than a year! These weird dungeons have caused me such a big mess!

With so much karma, I'm afraid I'd have to save another ice doomsday world to barely make up for it. Although there doesn't seem to be any side effects for the time being, who knows when doom will come?

Oh, I really regret it, I really regret it! If I had known it would turn out like this, I would not have brought out these harmful things!
The original purpose was to divert the trouble to the east, lure the tiger away from the mountain, and reduce the danger of the Xianlian Sect being attacked. Who would have thought that it would now directly become a catastrophe for the entire Tears Sea Region and even the Human-Demon Border! I don’t know how many people died outside, it’s really pitiful...

It makes sense. Although the Sea of ​​Tears was not directly destroyed, it was much larger than the previous Ice Doomsday World. Many fairy islands have the capacity to support hundreds of millions of people. With such a large number of people, even if only a part of them died, the accumulated karma should not be underestimated.

If I had known earlier... No! If I had known earlier, I would not have participated in that old man's Tianjiao Conference. I finally won a championship, but in the end I didn't get any benefits. They are a bunch of trash. I haven't even saved them yet. It would be better for me to find a way to sneak into the demon domain once and keep going back to correct the mistakes. Maybe I can get it done!

Lu Ang had thought about it many times. He wanted to go back immediately, to the time before he participated in the Tianjiao Competition, just be a spectator, and then take his wife back to the Xianlian Sect, hide his identity, and live a good life.

But in the end, I still didn't make up my mind to start all over again.

It’s not because I’m afraid of wasting time, but in the perception of the "Sutra of Original Vow and Merit", that nameless and unknown place not only has karma, but now there is also a merit that continues to grow!

Humane merit!

Although human merits are far inferior to heavenly merits, they cannot improve spiritual roots, cannot upgrade skills, and even ten strands can only eliminate one strand of karma, so the cost-effectiveness is extremely low.

But it is also extremely practical, which is that it can greatly improve the efficiency of cultivation. As long as the number is large enough and the talent is sufficient, it will be like drinking water, and the realm can be improved in an instant.

Before the female clone asked for help, Lu Ang had tested this with the two old dragons. As long as they killed those who were bewitched, cursed, or signed contracts by strange things, or those who believed in unknown evil gods, they could gain humanitarian merits.

Even, it is possible to rescue those who are not deeply addicted and have not yet completely sunk, keep them away from those weird things, and regain sobriety, and the result can also be achieved.

However, because the Sea of ​​Tears is so huge and there are many demon cultivators and demons in the Return to Void Realm secretly lurking there, Lu Ang only tested it a dozen times and then stopped just in case.

With one man and two dragons, he also has to maintain the formation and protect the fragile Xianlian Sect. It is obvious that he cannot solve all the problems by himself and gain all the merits.

Therefore, Lu Ang chose win-win cooperation and invited forces from all sides to join in the event.

It has to be said that ever since the bald donkey from the Brahma Sect and the high-ranking cultivators from the East Palace came, even if it was a profit sharing, the amount of humanitarian merit was extremely astonishing, growing rapidly every day. In less than half a month, it had grown from a small sapling into a towering tree.

Although taking out the space-time gate of the doomsday world has the same effect, it may even be better.

But what's wrong with having one more channel to gain merit?

Moreover, Doomsday World is, after all, a bargaining chip for the three families to help rescue people. They can't take it out before things are done, which would weaken their momentum. This strange disaster can be regarded as a run-in for both parties, allowing them to truly feel the pleasure after gaining merit.

For cultivators, no matter which of the three schools of Taoism, Buddhism, or Confucianism, the most important thing is spiritual roots and cultivation efficiency. But how rare are spiritual roots of the Taoist body and heavenly and earthly grades? Even in large sects, the core disciples are only of the best spiritual roots.

They will all encounter bottlenecks and feel despair of not being able to break through to the next great realm even after their life ends. This despair will grow with their age, like a whip constantly whipping them, forcing them to use any means necessary to speed up their cultivation, reach the peak of the realm faster, and accumulate more success rates for themselves.

Faced with the magical object of humanitarian merit that could easily save people decades, hundreds, or even thousands of years of life, Lu Ang didn't believe that they could resist.

The strange disaster broke out for less than a year in total, and only so many people have entered the copy. The strange things scattered outside will eventually be collected, and those poor people who can be transformed into merits will eventually be killed one day.

What will happen when these people who have experienced the wonders of merit and virtue no longer have more channels to gain merit and virtue?

Obviously, it won’t be long before the cheap wife’s tribesmen are rescued.

Thinking of this, Lu Ang seized the time and began to consume his humanitarian merits, rapidly improving his realm and striving towards the state of incarnation.

"Congratulations, your skill "Nine Heavens Thunder Control Manual" has been upgraded from Lv31 to Lv32. You have won a chance to draw a lottery."

"Congratulations, you have been promoted from the fourth level of Yuanying to the fifth level of Yuanying, and you have won a chance to draw a lottery."

……

The tree of human merits and virtues has once again grown from a towering tree to a small sapling. Lu Ang has also advanced from the first level of the Nascent Soul to the ninth level. He is only one step away from being promoted to the peak of the tenth level and being able to impact the Divine Transformation stage.

At least I saved myself more than 30 years of hard work!

Feeling the surging and boiling mana in his body, Lu Ang felt happy. This feeling was so great! This feeling of becoming stronger quickly was really addictive!
Even someone like me, whose desire to seek the truth is as strong as iron, cannot resist it, so I don’t believe that you, the great geniuses, can endure it!
After completing nine great circulations, Lu Ang was finally able to calm his boiling magic power and barely stabilize this rapidly improving realm.

Time is running out, and there are sixteen rewards to draw. It's good to focus on leveling up. Each level up means two draws, which is much better than practicing skills. I should have done good deeds a long time ago.

Lu Ang has participated in lotteries many times and has mastered the basic logic of selection. The first tier is mainly based on the ability to quickly improve one's own realm and strength, the second tier is supplemented by those with huge potential and may be useful in the future, and the third tier is those that are temporarily useful or may be useful under specific conditions. Only when there is really no choice will he choose those things that are completely altruistic.

So, in less than half an hour, Lu Ang had made all the choices and collected all the rewards.

There's not much to say about this lottery. Ten silver prizes are basically altruistic stuff. Only a one-month temporary God-level mercenary ticket and a seven-day vacation ticket are somewhat useful.

The golden fifth time, a skill sublimation, the "Water Cannon" unconventional skill turned into the evil magic "Avoiding Water", but it was not completely useless as Lu Ang thought. After actually trying it, he realized that this magic could make himself immune to all water-based attacks, control, and debuff and gain effects, which was quite abnormal.

There were two game classes, one was an NPC, who was a professional instructor for the hidden profession "Magic Swordsman". From him, one could learn various skills of the Magic Swordsman. Lu Ang directly threw him to the edge of the Trial Square and set a price of 50,000 contribution points. Various skills were also sold at one level, ranging from one thousand to ten thousand contribution points.

One is a game building called "Tower of Despair", which has nine floors in total. Random monsters and bosses will appear on each floor. After killing them, you can get badges, which can be exchanged for accessories and equipment of various levels.

Lu Ang plans to open these game buildings after more players have advanced to the foundation-building stage and entered the advanced academy. After all, this kind of single-player game is still too difficult and is not very friendly to players at this stage.

One is a strange item called "Golden Rope", which can trap others and seal their spiritual power. There is no need to call the person's name, just aim at the target and throw it out. Unfortunately, if the person tied up is a living thing, it cannot take the person to the world of film and television like the purple-skinned gourd.

One is talent. Lu Ang chose "Lucky Star", saying that it can greatly enhance luck. He chose this mainly to fight against the karma of the dark cloud above his head, to see if he can reduce some bad luck and have fewer speechless things like cold water stuck in his teeth.

There is only one colorful reward, and Lu Ang chose the superpower upgrade voucher. He now has an S-level superpower [Time Stop], which becomes SS-level after the upgrade. Now he can stop time for eighteen seconds at a time, and the cooling time is five minutes. Although it is very short, eighteen seconds of full-strength output time is enough for Lu Ang to kill most opponents.

It’s a pity that although there are many things, none of them can cause qualitative changes, and cannot significantly improve my strength so that I don’t have to be afraid of those who are in harmony with the Dao or the Mahayana.

At most, the combination of "Golden Rope" and "Purple Gourd" can help him control two powerful enemies. If he is besieged, he will still appear very rigid.

There are so many cultivators coming to the Sea of ​​Tears this time, and there are already twenty or thirty of them who have reached the level of Return to Void. I don’t know how many of them will be protected by the Hedao, or whether they will be completely insufficient.

However, these are also good news. If I wait a few more days, maybe I can be promoted to the God Transformation Stage and draw at least level 5 items. By then, there may be some new gold and colored rewards...

Just as Lu Ang was imagining the future, suddenly, an inexplicable wave interrupted Lu Ang's perception and thinking, making his face gloomy.

It's that feeling again! It's that feeling of being spied on again! Don't these guys know how to respect other people's privacy?
Lu Ang was helpless. After all, no one wanted to be locked in a cage like an animal and watched and admired by others.

Although he has been maintaining a complete spatial phase state throughout the whole process, he is afraid of attracting the attention of those disrespectful people.

Yes, Xianlian Island is only a middle-grade sixth-order island, and the protective array is only sixth-order. It can barely stop the return to the void, but may not be of any use to the integration of the Dao.

According to the record in ancient books, those who have reached the Hedao level are able to practice the Dao of the Void and perform the Spells of the Void by observing the Dao essence or learning the dragon seal script of the dragon clan. Lu Ang couldn't even be sure whether he had been discovered or not.

The feeling of having the doors and windows all open makes me feel naked and insecure.

Hey, how come I, a tiny Nascent Soul, have to deal with all these things like Return to the Void and Combination of Dao? Why do I keep wandering on the tightrope for no apparent reason? I just want to practice faster, save some boring time, and ascend to the Immortal Realm earlier. Why is it so difficult?
I can't go on like this! If I keep being watched like this, I'll be discovered sooner or later! Sooner or later I'll be exposed! Sooner or later something bad will happen!

Chaos is a mindless thing, not safe, and you can't put your life and property on it! You have to make plans early! When those Hedao gang find out something and want to attack you, it will be too late!

After thinking it over carefully, Lu Ang summoned Chi Chi Jun again and took out a hearthstone and handed it to it.

There is no other way. Since I don't have enough strength, I can only rely on external forces and use them as a pretext to gain power.
"Let's go! Accompany me to the Dragon Territory!"
