Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 136: Refining Taiyi, the Essence of the Innate Nine Yangs

The innate Bagua is also a part of the Zhoutian star array, but Emperor Jun did not deduced it. Instead, it was Emperor Xi who achieved enlightenment through it in later generations.

Therefore, the innate Bagua became the defect of the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array. Just by integrating it into it, the array would become more perfect and more powerful.

Not many people know about this secret of heaven and earth. Only because Duobao has an extraordinary identity and has had contact with Emperor Jun and Emperor Xi successively, did he know about this.

If it were someone else, how could they imagine that the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation, one of the three most powerful formations in the prehistoric world, is actually imperfect and has flaws?

This is simply impossible and no one would even think of it that way.

"Thank you for the reminder, I'll make a note of it."

Ao Bing heard this, paused, and thanked from the bottom of his heart. This news is very important because his way is the way of Zhou Tian.

If he wants to reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in the future, he must cultivate the Zhoutian Dao to perfection. But if Duobao hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that the Zhoutian Dao was actually missing the Xiantian Bagua.

Now that we know about this in advance, we can make arrangements earlier, so as not to find out about it when the time comes and put ourselves in a passive position.

"You and I are direct junior brothers, it's just something I said casually, there's nothing to thank you for." Duobao said generously, and then he skipped the topic and continued:

"I won't disturb you from doing your work. The rest of you and I will be outside studying the formation. You can just go ahead and do what you want."

After saying that, Duobao and other Jiejiao disciples stopped and meditated on the mystery of the formation outside the Zhoutian World. At the same time, they were also alert to the movements of the outside world in case someone suddenly broke in and rescued Taiyi.

Although the probability of such an event happening is low, it is not impossible. After all, Taiyi Zhenren is the true disciple of Yuanshi, and the other Jinxian of the Chanjiao would take risks when they see him in danger and are impulsive.

In short, it is better to be careful than to err.

"Taeyi, it's time for you to get going!"

Arriving at the center of the Zhoutian world, Ao Bing first threw the Hunyuan Golden Bowl into the Zhoutian Star Bowl, and then he unlocked the restrictions on it and released Taiyi Zhenren who was imprisoned inside.

"Evil dragon..."

As soon as Taiyi left the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, he couldn't even bother to observe the surrounding environment, and he couldn't wait to curse Ao Bing.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Ao Bing activating the Zhou Tian Xing Dou, transforming the starlight into a ban, sealing his mouth and making him unable to utter a word.

Ao Bing had no tendency to be masochistic. Even if Taiyi Zhenren was about to die, he could not tolerate him scolding him.

"Woooooo~~"

Taiyi Zhenren struggled desperately, trying to break free from the restriction, but it was useless. Not to mention that Xiao Zhoutian Xingdou was comparable to a Daluo Perfection strongman, a whole realm higher than him.

He was locked in the Hunyuan Golden Bowl for several days, and his magic power had long been exhausted, with only one tenth of his strength remaining. Even his magic weapons were stripped away one by one.

Now he is not even as good as a Golden Immortal, how can he possibly break free from the Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Array that is powerful enough to seal a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"Go in peace!"

"Small Zhoutian Star Fighting Array, practice it for me!"

Thinking of what this master and disciple had done to him, Ao Bing decided to retaliate.

He was seen manipulating the starlight, transforming into star after star, and crashing into Taiyi Zhenren continuously, smashing him all over and causing him to scream in pain.

"Junior brother..."

When Taoist Duobao saw this, he couldn't help but look reluctant, thinking that Ao Bing was going too far.

After all, they are fellow disciples. Even if there is a grudge, just kill them directly. Why torture and humiliate them before they die and ruin your own reputation for nothing?

Immediately, Duobao wanted to speak up to stop him, but the next moment, Ao Bing's words made him swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"When your disciple Nezha peeled off my skin and pulled out my tendons, my father was furious and went to the Heavenly Palace to complain. When you learned the news, you ordered Nezha to ambush him in the Heavenly Palace and beat him all over his body."

"This beating is for my father. I will break your bones to avenge my father."

Ao Bing's beating of Taiyi was not without reason, it was revenge for his father, a tit-for-tat. In this case, Duobao certainly couldn't persuade him to stop.

To avenge his father, no matter what he did, it would be fine. Taiyi had such a misfortune, and he could only say that it was his own fault, and he could not blame anyone else.

"Refining!"

After severely injuring Taiyi, Ao Bing stopped and did not continue evolving stars to smash him.

Instead, he activated the refining ability of the formation, circulated the power of chaos, differentiated the yin and yang and the five elements, and gradually dissolved Taiyi Zhenren's flesh and bones.

Nezha skinned him and pulled out his tendons. At this moment, Ao Bing put all of this on Taiyi's body and skinned him and pulled out his tendons as well.

Only in this way can it be seen that the law of heaven is fair and retribution is inevitable.

Ao Bing's actions were excessive, but the Jiejiao disciples present did not think it was a big deal. Instead, they felt relieved. It was tit for tat, what was there to say?

Past causes determine present consequences. How Nezha, Taiyi's disciple, treated Ao Bing in the past, Ao Bing will treat him the same way today. This is the axiom of cultivators.

If this gets out, it will become a good story and no one will think that Ao Bing did anything wrong.

The cultivator who thought that what Ao Bing did was wrong would have died long ago. After all, this is the prehistoric world. The example of Hong Yun has proved that people who are too nice never live long.

……

Although Taiyi was already seriously injured, refining him was still not as easy as Ao Bing thought. It took a full month before Taiyi's body was completely refined by the Zhoutian Stars, leaving only his soul to survive.

"Renlong, if you dare to kill me, Master will not let you go!"

Knowing that his doom was inevitable and could not be changed, Taiyi Zhenren looked at Ao Bing with hatred, left a few cruel words, then released his soul, escaped from his innate immortal spirit, and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.

Seeing this, Ao Bing and the other disciples of Jiejiao did not stop it and allowed Taiyi's true spirit to leave.

If they want to cut the grass at its roots, they must definitely smash and destroy Taiyi's true spirit. This will cut off all his possibilities and make him completely disappear between heaven and earth, without even being included in the List of Gods.

But unfortunately, as disciples of the three religions, we will meet each other every day. We must not do such things that will destroy people’s souls.

If he really did that, Yuanshi Tianzun would kill Ao Bing in a rage, and he would deserve it, and Tongtian Jiaozhu would have no place to complain.

The three religions fight, but they won't hurt their true spirits. This is the rule that is laid out on the table. As long as their true spirits are still there, the worst that can happen is that they will be included in the Conferred God List, and there will be a chance to start over.

But if the true spirit is gone, then everything will be gone, not even the chance to be included in the List of Gods. It would be strange if Yuanshi Tianzun did not go crazy.

Generally speaking, unless it is a feud that will last forever, no one would go to such extremes that even the true spirit would be destroyed. "Taiyi's true spirit is going to Kunlun Mountain, and it is estimated that it will be included in the Conferred God List. In this way, the position of the 365 true gods will be completed."

Retracting his gaze, Duobao said in a deep voice.

There are definitely more than 365 gods to be canonized in the Investiture of the Gods. If all the gods, big and small, are added together, there would be tens of thousands of them.

However, among these tens of thousands of god positions, only the 365 positions of true gods at the top row are allowed to be filled by disciples of the three religions.

The three hundred and sixty-five positions of true gods are not enough even if all the second and third generation disciples of the Chan sect are added together.

Therefore, Duobao specifically pointed out this matter in order to inform everyone in Jiejiao that the insufficient number of deity positions must be filled from among the disciples of Jiejiao, and this is something that cannot be changed in any way.

That is the killing calamity of the three religions. The disciples of the orthodox teaching must be on the list, the disciples of the evil teaching must also be on the list, and even the disciples of the human teaching must have someone on the list.

However, the Human Sect did a very good job in this regard. At the very first moment, the deputy leader of the Human Sect, Taishang Laojun, was included in the List of Gods and reported to the Heavenly Palace.

The fact that the Investiture of the Gods is in Kunlun Mountain, not in Jin'ao Island, actually makes it very clear that this is a killing calamity aimed at Jie Religion, but many Jie Religion disciples are still deceiving themselves and are unwilling to believe it.

"Hey~~"

The Jiejiao disciple who was originally having fun felt a shadow in his heart after hearing Duobao's reminder, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Yes, they are also in the calamity, what qualifications do they have to laugh at Taiyi Zhenren? Today, Taiyi Zhenren is on the list of calamities, what about tomorrow? Maybe it will be their turn.

In this killing spree among the three religions, apart from Xuandu of the Human Sect, Duobao of the Jie Sect and Ao Bing, who else dares to say that they can get through it safely?
The Great Master Xuandu of the Human Sect, the only disciple of the Saint Taiqing, is definitely not allowed to enter the calamity.

The Taoist of Jiejiao Duobao, the teacher of the Emperor of Earth, has great merits. He transformed into a human form in Fenbaoyan and has great luck, but he does not meet the conditions for entering the calamity at all.

Ao Bing, the Dragon Taoist of Jiejiao, not only has great luck, but he has also escaped from the calamity and will basically not fall into calamity again.

Apart from these three people, Guangchengzi of the Chan school and Nan Ji Xian Weng should not have been in the calamity.

One of them was the teacher of the emperor of men, with great merit, and the other was born from a congenital star god, with great luck, but neither of them met the conditions for entering the calamity.

However, because Guangchengzi monopolized the Fantian Seal, he was tainted by the great cause and effect and had to fall into the calamity.

The Immortal of the South Pole turned against his benefactor Ao Bing and attacked him. As a result of the backlash of cause and effect, he, who was not originally in the calamity, was dragged into the killing calamity, and the most serious one was the death calamity.

There are many disciples of the three religions, but only three of them are not in the calamity. Apart from them, the rest of the disciples are in the calamity.

The difference is that those who have committed the killing calamity are struggling in it now, while those who have not committed the killing calamity are waiting, waiting for the calamity to find them.

The wait will not end until the List of Gods is completed.

“It’s torture!”

When everyone thought of their own situation, a look of sadness appeared on their faces for a moment.

The method of avoiding disasters that Master Tongtian passed on to them is indeed useful, but it is easy to say not to go out. When trouble comes to them, will it be up to them whether to go out or not?

"In the killing calamity, those with great luck will not be affected by the calamity, and those with great merit will not be affected by the calamity. Fellow Taoists, you only need to do your job well, accumulate merit with peace of mind, and quietly improve your luck, and you will be able to get through the calamity without any danger."

Seeing that everyone was depressed by Duobao's words, Ao Bing couldn't help but comfort them. What was the purpose of his planning so much? It was to find a way out for these Jiejiao disciples.

As long as they could accomplish what he had arranged, they would have both merit and luck. Perhaps merit and luck alone were not enough to support them through the disaster.

But the two combined are definitely enough for them to survive this disaster safely.

"That's true. We should thank Fellow Daoist Renlong for giving us this opportunity. Otherwise, we would have been in real danger this time."

After hearing Ao Bing's words, all the disciples of Jiejiao came to their senses and hurriedly thanked him. Indeed, with merit and luck, even if you are caught in a killing calamity, you will have more confidence than others.

It’s a pity for those disciples of the Jiejiao who didn’t come and missed the opportunity to gain merit and fortune.

However, this is also good. If everyone has merits and good luck, then it means that no one has merits and good luck, and those who are destined to suffer calamity will still suffer calamity.

Only by widening the gap, those who lack luck and merit will fall into calamity and fill the List of Gods.

Although it is cruel to think so, this is the reality. In this killing calamity of immortals and gods, it is destined that a disciple of Jiejiao will be on the list.

They did not take advantage of others' misfortunes or actively push others onto the list. They just quietly accumulated merits and luck and preserved themselves, which was already a rare achievement, and we cannot ask for too much more.

Moreover, when Ao Bing told everyone about these opportunities, he did so in public, not secretly.

If they don't come, it's their own choice. What does it have to do with outsiders? Even if they are in trouble, it's their own fault. Don't blame others.

Ao Bing could probably guess what everyone was thinking, and what he thought was not much different from what everyone else was thinking.

He didn't have much friendship with the disciples of Jiejiao, so naturally, only those who stood on the same side with him and were willing to help him were his own people.

Those who are unwilling to help him are outsiders, and they can be used to fill the gaps in the List of Gods.

"My fellow Taoists, you can continue to comprehend the Small Zhoutian Star Array. I will be in seclusion to refine the essence left by Taiyi, and then I will have to refine the Heaven-Flipping Seal. I am afraid I will not be able to take care of you in the short term. I hope you can forgive me."

After saying something politely to everyone, Ao Bing took the Small Zhoutian Star and sank into the Chaos Lake deep in the starry sky and disappeared.

After this exchange, Ao Bing's relationship with these Jiejiao disciples became closer, and their interests became more deeply bound.

To some extent, they are already Ao Bing's team. If Ao Bing forms an immortal alliance in the future, they will be Ao Bing's most steadfast support.

In this case, if possible, Ao Bing certainly didn't want them to be on the List of Gods.

After being on the list, he is no longer a god, and naturally cannot interfere in the affairs of the immortals, let alone support Ao Bing in the matter of the Immortal Alliance.

……

"Taiyi, Taiyi too!"

"Taiyi was valued by Yuanshi Tianzun and accepted as his direct disciple. His background is indeed extraordinary."

"He was transformed from the essence of the innate nine suns. He was born with the destiny of an emperor. No wonder he could become the supreme ruler of heaven and earth and one of the six emperors in the future."

Deep in the Chaos Lake, Ao Bing looked at the Taiyi Origin in front of him with amazement in his eyes. After Taiyi was refined by him, everything was clearly presented, and the details naturally could not be hidden from him.

It is transformed from the essence of the innate nine yangs. If I really want to describe it, it is slightly inferior to the innate sacred being Dong Wanggong who was transformed from the essence of the innate extreme yang, but slightly stronger than the ten sons of Emperor Jun. He can be called a younger version of Dong Wanggong.
