Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 113 Ao Bing: Heaven is cruel

Given the viciousness of the Way of Heaven, if someone really managed to perfect the Zhoutian Daojing, they would definitely find ways to kill him, so as to seize his cultivation and repair the starry sky.

Even those with great merits are no exception and will also suffer disasters. But fortunately, the way of heaven will not do anything to the extreme when facing those with great merits. At most, they will take away their cultivation but will not harm their lives.

In this way, even if they encounter a disaster, those who have done great merits should be grateful to the heaven for not killing them.

Ao Bing anticipated this scene, so he chose to use his merits to condense the stars and improve his cultivation.

No matter how evil the heaven is, it will not take back the merits bestowed upon you. If merits could be taken back, who would dare to make merits in the future?

To plot against someone with great merit, and deprive him of his cultivation but not his life, can also be explained as he should have died in the calamity, but was able to survive because of his merits protecting him.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of having their merits taken back?
If you can take back what you have obtained, then is this merit really yours?

Once a cultivator has this idea, the value of merit will be greatly reduced, and it may even lead to the cultivators no longer having the motivation to plan for merit. This has a huge impact, and the Heavenly Dao will never do such a thing that digs its own grave.

Therefore, it is impossible for heaven to take back merits.

Ao Bing guessed what Heaven was thinking, and was worried that one day he would be taken advantage of by Heaven, so he simply turned all his merits into stars.

In this way, even if the Heavenly Dao was jealous, looking at the stars transformed from his merits, it would be difficult for it to take away his cultivation.

Not only Tiandao, but other people, seeing his situation, also did not dare to take away his cultivation.

Anything that a cultivator possessed, even his cultivation, could be taken away by others, but he had never heard of merit being taken away by others.

The merits are yours, and no one can take them away. Even if you want to give them to others, you can't do it.

If a saint wants to give merit to his disciples, he cannot do so directly. He needs to find ways to plan for them. From this we can see that merit cannot be given to others.

……

Ignoring the shocked looks of the crowd, Ao Bing continued to do his own thing, practicing the Zhoutian Dao Sutra to refine the merit in his body, mixing it with starlight and quickly transforming it into stars.

Soon, a star comparable to a celestial being was born in the ancestral cavity between Ao Bing's eyebrows, and it grew at an extremely fast speed, the first heaven, the second heaven, the third heaven...

Because his merits were limited, Ao Bing did not condense many stars at the same time, but concentrated on condensing one star, trying to upgrade it to a small star comparable to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

In this way, with the additional Taiyi combat power, he might be able to reach the long river of time and space.

Merit is the result of the Xuanhuang Qi, which is the origin of heaven and earth. Using it to transform cultivation is very fast. In just a few breaths, the stars condensed by Ao Bing have reached the limit of the stars and began to transform into small stars.

boom!
Suddenly, Ao Bing's body shook violently, and a powerful aura surged out from his body, dispersing the surrounding clouds and spreading out to both sides in layers.

"Is this a breakthrough?"

"That's not right. Long Zun's realm is still Golden Immortal, but this momentum is that of a Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"What happened? Why can Long Zun exude the power of Taiyi in the Golden Immortal realm?"

The star gods who were guarding the surroundings were all shocked when they saw this scene.

The aura exuded by Ao Bing was definitely that of the genuine Taiyi Golden Star, but his realm seemed to be welded to his body, and he remained a Golden Immortal without moving a muscle.

This is very abnormal and goes against common sense.

But in fact, this is not abnormal, and it is also reasonable. Because it was not Ao Bing who broke through, but the stars in his body.

To be promoted from a group of stars to a small star is like a cultivator being promoted from a Golden Immortal to a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and one can naturally exude the power of Taiyi.

As for Ao Bing, he was still trying to break through, but the effect was not ideal. With Xiaoxing's blessing, his combat power suddenly increased by a lot, and his ability to withstand pressure was stronger.

Therefore, he endured the pressure and moved forward a long distance, but still could not get close to the river of time and space.

not enough!

The power is not enough! Far from enough!

Ao Bing felt that his strength was not enough, which was why he could not get close to the River of Time and Space. He needed to become stronger.

Therefore, he refined his merits faster and continued to upgrade the stars in his dragon orifice. But at this moment, he suddenly felt his head was unusually heavy, as if it was about to explode.

"The ancestral orifice has reached its limit!"

Ao Bing realized something and changed the route of his energy training, transferring the power transformed from merit to his lower dantian, where he condensed the stars again.

Restricted by his realm, his dragon orifice can only accommodate stars that are one realm higher than his own. Otherwise, the power emitted by the stars will burst his dragon orifice.

Fortunately, he has opened up enough dragon orifices, and when the limit is reached, he will switch to the next one.

Soon, another small star formed in Ao Bing's body, causing his momentum to surge again. But his realm still remained at the Golden Immortal realm.

At this time, the star gods who were protecting him gradually realized what he was doing. He was practicing the Zhoutian Daojing and condensing the stars with merit, which led to the improvement of his strength, but his realm did not move.

They could see it, but they didn't understand why Ao Bing did this. Using merit to condense the stars was safe, but the problem was that merit was limited.

The merits that a cultivator can obtain are limited. How long can he maintain the ability to condense stars by relying on merits? When the merits are exhausted, he will have to honestly collect the power of stars again to condense stars.

Unless Ao Bing can obtain infinite merits, using the merits to practice the Zhoutian Daojing will be meaningless except for improving combat power in a short period of time.

It can even be said to be a waste, and is far less beneficial than improving your realm.

This is the gap between people. They feel that merit is difficult to obtain, but Ao Bing has already made a plan. As time goes by, the merit he has will only increase, which is enough for him to practice the Zhoutian Daojing.

"Heaven, give me merit!"

After condensing the second small star, Ao Bing was closer to the long river of time and space, but the merits he had gained this time were exhausted.

But it doesn't matter, he still has a lot of merits left in the Heavenly Dao, including the merits of accelerating the restoration of the starry sky, educating people and dragons, strengthening Longzhou, and placing the Star Refining Pot in Tanggu.

These are all great achievements, but unfortunately, the merits brought by these great achievements will take a long time to manifest.

Only a few dozen or a hundred years have passed, so the merits they can provide to Ao Bing are limited, but when added together, the number is not small.

Normally, the Heavenly Dao would settle these merits for him once every thousand years. But if he needed, he could withdraw them in advance. Ao Bing didn't believe that after consuming so many merits, he still couldn't set foot in the realm of mythical Taiyi.

The Heavenly Dao is not the unscrupulous boss of later generations. He never delays paying wages. Therefore, as soon as He heard Ao Bing’s request, He immediately bestowed his accumulated merits.

Not only that, knowing that Ao Bing did not want to be exposed, He was also very considerate and sent the merits directly into Ao Bing's body instead of bestowing it with great fanfare.

boom!
After all, the time was too short, only a few decades had passed, so the accumulated merits were not much, about half of what he had gained this time. After Ao Bing refined it, he got another small star.

At this time, Ao Bing, relying on the power of three small stars, or three Taiyi Golden Immortals, finally overcame numerous obstacles and arrived near the long river of time and space.

However, this is his limit.

The long river of time and space was clearly right in front of him, and the two sides were only one step apart. However, this step was so far away that no matter how hard he tried, he could not cross it and truly step into the long river of time and space.

It was as if they were not in the same time and space, separated by endless years, so naturally they could not step into it.

"It's not just a matter of insufficient strength. More importantly, my understanding of the way of time and space is not enough to support me to cross the gap of time and space and reach the long river of time and space."

Perhaps because of his merits, the Heaven gave Ao Bing an inspiration, making him realize what he still lacked in order to turn myths into reality and truly set foot in the realm of mythical Taiyi.

The way of time and space!

If you want to become the mythical Taiyi and wander in the long river of time and space, you must have a deep understanding of the laws of time and space.

However, time and space are unpredictable. Although they are everywhere, they are elusive and difficult to comprehend.

The original intention of Heaven was to persuade Ao Bing to give up the idea of ​​digesting myths as reality, break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal as soon as possible, and make more contributions to the world.

However, Ao Bing misunderstood His meaning.

In his opinion, the Heavenly Dao took the initiative to tell him these things, not only acknowledging that the realm of Mythical Taiyi really existed, but also hinting that he should find a way to step into this realm.

Otherwise, why would Heaven tell him the conditions for breaking through to Myth Taiyi? By stating the conditions for the breakthrough, it was no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.

He was asked to find a way to cultivate into the mythical Taiyi, so as to turn this realm that only existed in myths and legends into reality and replace the original Taiyi realm.

Ao Bing could probably guess the purpose of Tiandao doing this, which was nothing more than a disguised way of reducing the number of cultivators.

Although both are at the Taiyi realm, the difficulty of cultivating into the mythical Taiyi is at least ten thousand times that of the ordinary Taiyi, and it is even more difficult than cultivating into the Daluo Jinxian.

In this case, if the Taiyi realm is replaced by the mythical Taiyi, the consequences can be imagined.

The threshold for breaking through Taiyi has been raised so much at once. From now on, the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals will definitely decrease sharply.

Just think about it and you will understand. The cultivators who once had the hope of becoming Daluo Jinxian will not even be able to cross the threshold of the mythical Taiyi in the future. They will be stuck in the realm of Golden Immortal perfection and will find it difficult to break through.

This is increasing the difficulty of practice, and increasing the difficulty of practice itself is a disguised way of reducing the number of monks.

The way of heaven is to block all cultivators in the realm of Golden Immortal, so that they cannot cultivate to become Taiyi Golden Immortal. It can be predicted that under such a high difficulty of cultivation, Taiyi Golden Immortal will really become a legend in the future.

The current data shows that among a hundred Golden Immortals, at least several Taiyi Golden Immortals can emerge. But after the appearance of Mythical Taiyi, if one Mythical Taiyi emerges among a hundred thousand Golden Immortals, it is considered a favor from Heaven.

As a result, there will be at least 99% fewer Taiyi Golden Immortals in the world, and the number of Daluo Golden Immortals will also decrease sharply. I don’t know how much resources will be saved.

This is much more efficient than promoting the Great Tribulation and clearing out the monks. After all, using the Great Tribulation to clear out the monks is a one-time thing.

However, reducing the number of monks by increasing the difficulty of practice is sustainable, and the effect will become better and better over time.

"As expected of Heaven, its methods of dealing with cultivators are as cruel as ever."

Ao Bing, who thought he had guessed what Heaven was thinking, was once again shocked by Heaven's cruelty.

The Heavenly Dao is still the Heavenly Dao. From the beginning to the end, it never regards the lives of the cultivators as lives. In other words, it has never regarded the cultivators as living beings.

In His view, monks are walking resources that can be mined at any time and used to repair the heaven and earth.

With this idea in mind, he naturally would not take the lives of the monks seriously.

Although Ao Bing guessed what Tiandao was thinking and understood His evil intentions, he was not prepared to refuse.

It's not that he is cruel, or that he, like the Heavenly Dao, does not take the lives of cultivators seriously, but he has no choice, he is forced by the Heavenly Dao.

The present prehistoric world is different from the past. Under the promotion of Heaven, it has entered the most involutionary era. If one is not strong enough, he will probably die at the hands of others and be taken advantage of by Heaven.

Therefore, he must become stronger, incomparably stronger. And cultivating the Mythology Taiyi is his means of becoming stronger. As long as he breaks through the Mythology Taiyi realm, he will not be afraid even if he faces the Daluo Jinxian head-on.

Moreover, if the mythical Taiyi is true, what about the mythical Daluo, which is at a higher level? Does the mythical Daluo, which is said to be immortal and has the ability to reverse cause and effect and tamper with time and space, really exist?

Ao Bing originally didn't think that this realm existed. But now that the Heavenly Dao has acknowledged the existence of the Mythology Taiyi realm, the Mythology Daluo realm may not necessarily not exist.

Even if it really didn't exist, Ao Bing would find a way to make it appear. Because for someone like him who lacks a sense of security, only by cultivating into the realm of mythical Daluo can he feel a little at ease.

Therefore, no matter what, he had to give it a try to see if he could cultivate to the level of Mythical Daluo. And in order to cultivate to the level of Mythical Daluo, he had to cultivate to the level of Mythical Taiyi first.

As for him becoming the mythical Taiyi, the difficulty of cultivation will increase, making it difficult for people in later generations to become Taiyi Golden Immortal.

What does this have to do with him?

The Heavenly Dao can obviously exist in two realms at the same time, but it insisted on removing one. This is obviously His problem. If the world wants to blame someone, it should be the Heavenly Dao, not him.

On the contrary, the world should thank him because it was he who broadened the path of cultivation, making the cultivators more powerful and allowing them to go further on the path to immortality.

When Ao Bing opened up the mythical Taiyi realm, he was a pioneer and leader on the road of cultivation, a figure like the Taoist ancestor. People would only respect and worship him instead of blaming him.

Even if someone really complained, it didn't matter. Ao Bing didn't need to do anything, the other mythical Taiyi would naturally find a way to shut them up.

Ao Bing is their ancestor. Unless they are willing to give up the mythical Taiyi realm, they cannot sit idly by and watch the cultivators blame Ao Bing.

"If you want to cultivate into the mythical Taiyi, you need to comprehend the way of time and space to an extremely high level. This is indeed difficult. However, there are ways."

Ao Bing has a deep understanding of the difficulty of comprehending time and space, because the way of small circulation involves part of the way of time and space.
