Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 807 Li Jing in This World

After the ownership of this cave was seized by Taiyi Zhenren with extremely strong power, Li Jing and several Taoists with him in the cave turned pale in an instant.

Extreme fear emerged in their hearts.

What they were worried about was not only that the research institute was exposed to Taoist Taiyi - but also the other secrets hidden in this cave after Taoist Taiyi took control of it!
"Fellow Daoist, you are really a good disciple." Taiyi Zhenren's gaze moved away from Nezha, nodded to Ao Bing, and then looked in another direction with a sneer - following Taiyi's gaze, the mountains over there parted, and another palace emerged.

Inside the palace, there was a coffin, and inside the coffin, lay a Taoist priest.

The Taoist's stomach was cut open and countless golden needles were inserted into his body, completely blocking his meridians, qi channels, and even his soul.

Outside the coffin, there were jars containing the internal organs taken out from the Taoist's body.

It was none other than Li Jing’s teacher, the Wanderer from West Kunlun, Du’e Zhenren!
Taiyi Zhenren waved his sleeves and the sealed coffin was opened, and the jars containing internal organs were also shattered.

Then, the sound of wind and thunder of swallowing and exhaling vital energy was heard, and the internal organs in the jar flew back into the body of Master Du'e. Under the circulation of vital energy, they became one with Master Du'e again. Then, Master Du'e's eyes slowly opened, and he stretched out his hands to hold the edge of the coffin and barely stood up to sit back, then bowed to Master Taiyi.

"Thank you for your rescue, Brother. I am an unworthy disciple and I am sorry to have made you laugh." The voice of Master Du'e was unusually weak.

"You evil creature, have I ever treated you unfairly since you came to West Kunlun?"

"Is human authority really so important that you can't let it go even a little bit?"

"The temptation to ascend to the immortal path just to hold power could actually make you betray your master and ancestors?"

Then, Master Du'e looked at Li Jing, his eyes filled with sadness and anger.

When Li Jing stepped into West Kunlun, he told Li Jing that due to his limited qualifications, it would not be easy for him to achieve immortality - such a person should be driven out of West Kunlun.

However, Master Du'e took pity on Li Jing's determination to seek the truth, so he took him in at Jiuding Tiecha Mountain, taught him how to practice, and planned a path for him to become an immortal.

Although I can't say that he treats the child as his own, he is still doing his best to teach him everything he knows.

Because there was humane energy flowing in Li Jing's body, True Man Du'e also specially found some methods to suppress the humane energy in Li Jing's body so as to help him achieve immortality.

Later, Master Du'e specially invited some good friends to come over to explore why the humanitarian spirit in Li Jing was endless and could never be suppressed.

But who would have thought that the first words Li Jing said after stepping into West Kunlun were a lie!

The humanitarian spirit in him is endless simply because he still holds the authority of humanity.

Later on, Li Jing found it difficult to become an immortal and had to go down the mountain.

Although there have been rumors that Li Jing has become an immortal in West Kunlun, Master Du'e only regarded it as a rumor fabricated by his own disciple in order to regain power, so he never exposed the rumor.

——Then, Li Jing returned to Chentang Pass and sent a letter to West Kunlun, saying that he had arranged a thank-you banquet for Master Du'e.

True Man Du'e went there happily.

Later on, Master Du'e was drunk by the nectar at the banquet. Master Du'e was totally unprepared, and when he woke up again, he was shocked to find that his magic power had been sealed, his Yuan Qi had been locked, and he had become a research subject.

The Taoist of the Eternal Demon Thief used Du'e as a sample, dissected Du'e's internal organs, calculated the direction of the meridians in his body, and finally replicated these meridians on Li Jing's body. He then took out Li Jing's internal organs, placed them in Du'e's abdominal cavity to nourish them, and finally transplanted them back.

After all this, Li Jing first obtained the body of an immortal, and then this body of an immortal generated its own primordial Qi - so the lie that Li Jing had fabricated when he went down the mountain came true.

After Li Jing became an immortal with the help of Master Du'e, Master Du'e never gained freedom, but continued to be blocked, suppressed, and studied.

After all, what Li Jing was seeking was not just the way to immortality, but many more things - for example, the merits of Master Du'e, the Dao seed of Master Du'e, and so on.

Moreover, it is impossible for Li Jing, who did all these things, to let Master Du'e escape and expose everything to outsiders.

As Master Du'e spoke, another research base in this cave was also exposed to Ao Bing.

——This is the place in the underworld that Hou Qing mentioned, where he was born and died.

This is the place where Li Jing first dissected and studied Du'e Zhenren.

After all, whether it is artificial meridians or using the body of Master Du'e to nourish the internal organs, it is a very dangerous thing. The consumables and wealth required in this process can be said to be endless.

And then Qing and the others were among the experimental subjects chosen by Li Jing.

To be precise, all living creatures in this cave are experimental subjects.

Similarly, it is precisely because the mortals in this cave have reproduced from generation to generation that this base has never lacked mortals and supplies. Li Jing and his team do not need to look for supplies from the human world outside the cave.

Only a large number of souls, a lot of flesh and blood, as well as various immortal organs, spiritual bones, etc., were transported from Cuiping Mountain to various vassal states in the name of military supplies to supplement the operation of the consumables system.

Li Jing also has a way to deal with the "useless" flesh and blood other than souls, immortal organs, and spiritual bones.

There are many giant monsters in the East China Sea, and they have been fighting with various sects in the East China Sea.

Li Jing got in touch with those giant monsters. He used their flesh and blood as "currency" to trade with the giant monsters and some aquatic creatures in the East China Sea.

Therefore, before the war between heaven and man, every time Chentang Pass made some moves, giant monsters in various parts of the East China Sea would "coincidentally" cause chaos, making it difficult for the energy of those sects in the East China Sea to focus on Chentang Pass.

After the war between heaven and man, the bribed aquatic creatures in the East China Sea secretly told Li Jing about the movements of various places in the East China Sea, allowing Li Jing to know both himself and the enemy...

As a result, the enclave of Chentang Pass grew little by little under the watchful eyes of all parties. Now, it has been controlled and is even able to suppress the entire East China Sea. This also contributed to Li Jing's achievements and earned him a reputation as a man of both civil and military talents who can fight and manage.

Later, that is, several years ago, after Nezha was reborn here, a Taoist found Li Jing in the name of Chanjiao and told Li Jing in detail about Nezha's origin, information, etc.

Then, the man told Li Jing about the cause and effect relationship of Nezha and Nezha's "instability".

In order to control this instability, Li Jing "cooperated" with the Taoist of the Chan sect, found the immortal demon thief, and opened a Nezha research base in addition to the Du'e research base.

With the Taoist of the Chan sect acting as a cover, the existence of this cave becomes safer, and the actions of Li Jing and his companions become more secretive.

Even though some people noticed some clues and wanted to investigate, when they found traces of the Chan sect intentionally or unintentionally, they no longer dared to investigate further.

"This matter is not only related to Chanjiao?"

When all this was exposed, Li Jing sneered and laughed as if he accepted his fate.

"You, the Great Lord of Justice, will also benefit from this, right?"

"If it weren't for me offering endless flesh and blood and countless souls as sacrifice, how could you, an old thing who has been dead for who knows how long, wake up?"

"I only regret that I didn't expect you, Qinglong, to be even more resolute and decisive than I expected. As soon as the 72nd rule of the day came out, you came with this severely injured body to destroy this place."

"You want to cut everything off and put all the blame on me. I tell you, you are dreaming!"

Then, fairy light appeared again, opening up this cave controlled by Taiyi Zhenren, and appeared inside this cave.

——The Taoist Master Ran Deng and Master Guang Cheng Zi.

"This matter involves my disciples of the Chan Sect, so I have a question, and I hope that fellow Daoist Qinglong will answer it." The Lantern Taoist held a precious lamp in his hand, and between the flickering of the light, it seemed that there was a force pressing into the innate spiritual light of the Dinghai Pearl, trying to dismantle the formation formed by the Dinghai Divine Pearl. "By the way, please also release the formation and give my disciples of the Chan Sect their freedom."

"From what you two said, you believed Li Jing's lies?" Ao Bing smiled and took back the other twelve Dinghai Pearls. Together with the twelve Dinghai Pearls in the formation, they formed the yin and yang of each other, making this formation even more stable.

"It's not that I believe Li Jing's words, but I have a question that I don't understand."

Looking at the spiritual light of the Dinghai Clan, the eyes of the Taoist Master Ran Deng flickered and swayed like the light in his hand.

"You should know the secrets of this place yourself."

“But I used the light to shine, and saw that you seemed to be heading straight to Cuiping Mountain, and straight to this cave.”

"And my nephew Nezha is making a scene in Cuiping Mountain, creating an opportunity for you, Taoist friend."

"It seems that Daoist friend knew long ago that there is a cave here."

"It seems that Daoist friend knew from the beginning that there must be something wrong in this cave."

"You are just starting to master the Heavenly Rules. Logically speaking, you should be cautious with your first move and never make a move unless you are 100% sure."

"And the first target of this Heavenly Rule has long been set, which is the sinful immortals in the North Sea."

"But fellow Taoist, you did the opposite, abandoning Beihai and heading towards Chentang Pass instead. Moreover, you did not care about the consequences and caused a big disturbance in Cuiping Mountain."

"Fellow Daoist Qinglong, can you tell me the reason for this?"

"Why are you so sure about the secrets in this cave?" Taoist Master Ran Deng said slowly.

"You are the Great Lord of Justice, in charge of the rules of heaven. If you cannot give me a response on this matter, I, the disciples of the Chan sect, will report it to the Emperor of Heaven to see what kind of Great Lord of Justice you are."

Under the questioning of Master Ran Deng, Master Du'e, who was still in the coffin, looked at Ao Bing with caution, fearing that he had just escaped from the wolf's den but fell into the tiger's mouth again.

"Yeah, how did I know that?" The twenty-four Dinghai Pearls were still blocking the Nezha Research Center, and Ao Bing slowly stepped out of them and went to the Du'e Research Center, walking step by step in the research center.

Following Ao Bing's footsteps, the gates of many palaces here were opened, the ceilings were flattened, and the things that were hidden inside the palaces appeared in front of everyone.

The remains of countless infants and children are displayed here.

In the assembly line, the souls of living babies are stripped away and their "qualifications" are then tested. If they are "qualified", their organs and bones are disassembled and turned into a unique precious material, which is then displayed in the hall after being processed.

The remaining flesh and blood, as well as those without qualifications, were directly sent to a palace like a furnace by the assembly line. While their vitality had not yet dissipated, they were refined alive into something like an elixir, called Bingliang Pills. This was what Li Jing used to bribe the East China Sea aquatic creatures and the East China Sea giant monsters - of course, sometimes, these Bingliang Pills would be cut open by Li Jing and distributed to his soldiers to stimulate their spirit.

"Li Jing, you must be very curious too." Ao Bing slowly stopped.

"Your arrangement is truly ingenious. The mortals in this cave have no idea what is happening here."

"And the consumables you chose are all newborn babies who only have intelligence but no wisdom."

"Moreover, once their souls are stripped away, they will be immediately sent out of this cave, and they will not have any memory of the existence of this cave."

"In this way, even if we are exposed, there is no way we can find any clues to get here."

"What can we do? This is a world of cultivation, a world of miracles." Ao Bing said leisurely.

“Or, in other words, since the earliest times, the Dao Ancestor chose to suppress time and space, perhaps in order to preserve the possibility of this miracle. In this way, even someone as powerful as Daluo, even someone as powerful as a saint, would find it difficult to go back in time and space and go to the past to change something.”

"In this way, even if it is the plan of Daluo, even if it is the plan of the saint, there will be some small accidents."

“This is a miracle.”

“Even if one is born divine, one cannot avoid being confused when one is just born.”

"However, in this cave, by some strange coincidence, a baby born with wisdom appeared."

"Although the infant did not know the existence of this cave, he happened to hear the three words Chentang Pass and your name, Li Jing, from some Taoist priests."

"Even more coincidentally, his soul ended up in the White Tiger Dao Sect and became part of the White Tiger Ten Thousand Souls Banner. Finally, he fell into the netherworld as a baby ghost and into the dreamland of the Queen Mother Hou Tu."

"Of course, under this coincidence, what is even more rare is that in the dream of Hou Tu Niangniang, in the dream that Hou Tu Niangniang compiled for those baby ghosts with infinite mercy, the baby ghost who was born with intelligence, even after experiencing the perfect life compiled for him by Hou Tu Niangniang, still did not forget his only remaining, real memory."

"Or maybe he has forgotten it, but under the influence of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, countless infant ghosts are connected as one - and among those infant ghosts, there are a few who would rather not be freed than forget these things and overwrite these memories."

"It just so happens that I am going to the Netherworld to look for someone. I want to use the souls of the Netherworld as my angel patrollers, wandering the heavens and earth and inspecting all living beings."

"It just so happens that the baby ghost dared to say these things in front of me."

"It just so happens that I am willing to believe him, and I dare to believe him."

"And the most perfect thing is that Nezha chose to believe him and cooperate with me."

"Under all these coincidences, I appeared here—I appeared here when you, Li Jing, had no time to react and had no time to clean up."

"Even you, Li Jing, have become part of this coincidence and part of this miracle."

Listening to Ao Bing's words, Li Jing's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He is the general of Chentang Pass and a general that is extremely trusted by the Human Emperor. He has a very good reputation and standing between heaven and earth.

And the other one?

That is a born baby ghost, a born alien, an existence that cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth.

Anyone would hesitate and feel conflicted when faced with the words of those baby ghosts - after all, those ghost talks are referring to those spirits.

Even if they say ordinary things, people will not fully believe them, let alone the claim that people are born with intelligence?
But, between the incredible words of General Li of Chentang Pass, who had a very good reputation and even the Chan Sect chose this place to reincarnate Nezha, and the baby ghost who kept telling lies, Ao Bing, the newly appointed Lord of Justice, surprisingly chose to believe the baby ghost!

How ridiculous!

However, this extremely absurd move resulted in an incredible result.

How can this be?

how can that be!

Not only Li Jing found this incredible, but even Master Ran Deng and the others were also unwilling to believe Ao Bing's statement.

“I’m afraid what Fellow Daoist Qinglong said is not enough to convince others, nor is it enough to prove himself.” Taoist Master Ran Deng looked leisurely and his mind was unfathomable.

“No one can be sure whether you and the baby ghost have any tacit understanding - after all, you were the one who sent those countless baby ghosts into the underworld.”

"Did Fellow Daoist Ran Deng make a mistake?" Ao Bing's gaze suddenly fell on Fellow Daoist Ran Deng.

"Does this Dao need to prove something to itself?"

"If you have evidence to prove that I am involved in this, then show me your evidence. I will offer you my head with both hands!"

"If you don't have evidence, stop making noise here!"

"As for self-evidence - to be honest, there are Taoists here who say that the evil deeds of this cave heaven are still involved by disciples of the Chan Sect."

“Fellow Daoist Ran Deng, it’s better not to let me find any traces of you in this cave. Otherwise, it won’t be a matter of whether you prove yourself or not.”

Then, the gaze of the Taoist Master Ran Deng fell directly on the Taoist Master Taiyi, and then he transmitted a message to the Taoist Master Taiyi.

"Brother Taiyi, we will discuss the matter here after we return to Kunlun."

“But as the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. Since my junior brother is in charge of this cave, he should take some action to prevent the reputation of our sect from being damaged.” As the Taoist Master Ran Deng said this, he winked at Guangchengzi, asking him to suppress Taiyi Zhenren as well.

However, since Guangchengzi stepped into this cave, he has become dazed, as if he had completely ignored their previous discussion. Not to mention cooperating with him in words, even now, his soul is still wandering, and no one knows what he is planning.

After conveying the message to Taiyi Zhenren, Master Ran Deng then continued to focus his attention on Ao Bing.

"The Lord of Justice is becoming more and more majestic."

"First, he disturbed Chentang Pass with his sneaky words, broke into this cave, and disrupted the cause and effect here."

"And now, relying on the sinful words in this cave, you intend to tarnish the reputation of our Chan Sect."

"Do you really think that our Chan sect is made of clay?"

"Hurry up and release my nephew Nezha!"

Amid the flickering lights, the words of the Taoist Master Ran Deng already carried a hint of murderous intent.

In the cave, lights flickered, water rippled, and the spiritual light of innate spiritual treasures pressed against each other.

With the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls as the center, the lights turned into swirling flames and slowly spread outwards.

With the help of the fire from the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover, the lights seemed to have the advantage of the terrain, becoming increasingly hotter, and within that heat, there was endless peace hidden.

Wherever the flames passed, all the creatures in the cave fell into a deep sleep, trapped in eternal slumber, never to wake up again.

It was at this time that Ao Bing suddenly discovered that the mortals in this cave had never been protected by humanity.

"Barbarians?" Ao Bing couldn't help but be surprised, wondering how Li Jing found this cave and these barbarians.

Unlike slaves - although the status of slaves is humble and their life and death are not worth mentioning, no one will care even if they die on the road. Some qigong practitioners will directly purchase slaves to practice magic, but slaves are still under the sequence of human beings and are under the protection of human beings.

Slaves can be killed, and they can also be used to practice magic, but they cannot be tortured and killed without reason - there is this elusive line in the dark, and once that line is crossed, they will be "marked" by humanity.

But the barbarians are different.

Although they are all mortals, the barbarians exist outside of humanity and are not protected by humanity. Rather than saying that they are mortals, it would be better to say that they are monsters that look like mortals.

Therefore, no matter what is done to them, it has nothing to do with humanity and will not touch humanity.

In fact, from a humanitarian perspective, wiping out the barbarians is actually a meritorious service.

In Ao Bing's generation, the barbarians seemed to have grown out of the ground. There would always be some barbarians emerging and causing friction with humans. Some of those barbarians would be exterminated, while others would be educated and transformed into a branch of the human race.

But in this generation, humanity is stronger than ever, and under the leadership of the Human King, the human race is able to defeat the Heavenly Court at every turn - under such circumstances, the barbarians in the human world would have been wiped out long ago.

The only enemies of humanity are fairies and demons.

However, within this cave, there exists an entire tribe of barbarians!
This is Li Jing's caution, Li Jing's prudence - even when it comes to the immortal demon thieves and soul consumables, the consumables he chooses are barbarians, not slaves.

This can be said to be the greatest way to weaken the "sin" in him.

At least, just based on his current connection with the Eternal Demon Thief and the soul consumables, he could never be sentenced to death - one of the 72 death commandments in the Heavenly Rules was excessive killing. But whether it was intentional or not, the 'life' in killing included almost all living things between heaven and earth, but he 'forgot' the existence of the barbarians.

It was as if the Heavenly Court and the various Daluo did not believe that there were still barbarians in this world.

So, if you really count it, Li Jing actually only had one crime that deserved the death penalty.

That is 'disrespecting the teacher and destroying the ancestors'.

This is why Li Jing showed a look of despair after Taiyi Zhenren took control of this cave - before Taiyi Zhenren came, Li Jing still had hope.

At least, it was impossible for Ao Bing to kill him using that heavenly rule.
