Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 235: Future Battle: Incense

Rumble!
From the depths of the void, nine kinds of innate vital energies swept up and gushed out from the nine mouths, merging into one stream and surging forward mightily.

The Dragon City that came from the human world was located just below the dragon's head. It was submerged in the long river of vital energy formed by the nine vital energies. It was constantly being tempered by it and slowly transforming.

Ao Bing took a step forward, crossed layers of void, came to the sky above Dragon City, and silently felt its changes.

"A place of good fortune!"

After a while, Ao Bing said happily.

At this moment, under the blessing of the nine dragon veins, Dragon City can be called a place of good fortune. The nine vital energies flow inside, and the flow of good fortune circulates, interpreting all kinds of great mysteries.

The Daluo Jinxian who cultivate here can gain considerable benefits, which can increase the probability of breaking through to the Quasi-Sage level. The cultivators below the Daluo Jinxian can gain even greater benefits, and everyone can hope to reach the Daluo realm.

Moreover, with the protection of Dragon City, it can isolate the call of Heaven. In other words, when cultivators come here to practice, they don't have to worry about being accidentally called by Heaven and integrated into it during the period of enlightenment.

"Good place!"

The more he explored, the more Ao Bing could feel the extraordinaryness of Dragon City. And this was just the beginning. As time passed, under the tempering of the Nine-Headed Dragon Vein, Dragon City would only become stronger and stronger.

When it is perfected in the future and transformed from a divine city into a dragon vein artifact, it may become a Daluo training base. The probability of a cultivator who cultivates here becoming a Daluo Jinxian is dozens or hundreds of times that of an ordinary person.

"In Julong City, if we take a region's genius and teach him, it won't take long before we can train a large group of masters. The region master has these conditions. As long as they are not useless, even if they are not as good as the local forces for the time being, they will be able to subdue them sooner or later."

Nodding with satisfaction, Ao Bing felt that as long as he used the Dragon Domain as a template when establishing other large domains, his path to centralization would never fail.

In his opinion, the domain lord is the county magistrate sent to various places by the emperors of later generations, and the local cultivation sects are the local landlords, gentry, and wealthy families.

The county magistrate and the local tyrants were fighting for land and population. To put it bluntly, they were fighting for resources. The domain lords and the cultivation sects were fighting for the same thing.

The struggle for power is a struggle for resources.

In this regard, the Domain Master has an advantage, because he controls the dragon veins, and can firmly control the spiritual energy in the domain. In other words, the resources in the domain are all under the control of the Domain Master.

The domain lord who can control the resources within the domain can, in theory, easily control all forces within the domain.

After all, as long as they reduce the supply of resources, or provide more resources to hostile forces, they can quietly weaken the forces that disobey them and make it difficult for them to gain influence again.

Moreover, in order to obtain more resources, the forces within the domain have no choice but to curry favor with the domain lord. Not to mention obeying his orders, they will not go against him unless necessary.

In this case, local forces should not pose a threat to the domain master.

In theory, yes.

But in reality, things have changed because of the emergence of incense and fire. Incense and fire can replace spiritual energy and even have a better effect.

This has led to the need for substitutes for spiritual energy, and monks are no longer as dependent on it as before, as they cannot survive without it.

As a result, the domain lord who could have completely controlled the local forces no longer had as much deterrence on them as before.

As long as the population under control is large enough, it doesn't matter if they don't give the domain master face? Withholding resources, or even cutting off spiritual energy, will not scare the local forces.

Because the power of incense and vows can completely replace these.

It can be called acquired merit and human merit. The effect of incense and vows is very obvious and almost omnipotent. Except that it cannot directly improve the realm, everything else is the same as Xuanhuang merit.

With the power of incense and vows, who cares about spiritual energy and resources? Or simply put, incense is the greatest resource, which can not only improve strength, but also be used to cultivate spiritual medicine.

Therefore, the battle between the domain master and the local sects is no longer a battle for resources and spiritual energy, but a battle for population. If you want to obtain more incense and vows, you must have a sufficient population.

Whoever controls the largest population has the initiative. In fact, if one can gain the support of all the people in the region, he or she can completely compete with the region master.

I have to say, it is so ironic. There was nothing wrong with the centralized power that Ao Bing set up, controlling the spiritual energy that the cultivators depended on for survival and forcing them to submit.

But because he discovered the effect of incense, he ended up tearing a big hole in his perfect plan, greatly reducing its effectiveness.

Yes, it's just a big hit, not completely ineffective.

Even though the effect of incense and vows is better than spiritual energy, it still cannot completely replace spiritual energy. Incense and vows are destined to be mastered by only a few people, and most monks still have to rely on spiritual energy to survive.

Therefore, even if they gain the support of all the population, the local sects can only compete with the domain lord who controls the dragon veins, rather than defeating and driving him away.

Ao Bing asked Daji to look back, and it was this scene that she saw. When the effect of the incense and the power of the wish gradually manifested, Daji would know whether mortals were of any use.

It is not just useful, but very useful. After the construction of the Ten Thousand Domains in the future, the struggle between the Domain Lords and the local forces will mainly revolve around mortals, that is, the struggle for faith!
……

…………

After observing the situation of Dragon City for a while, Ao Bing was relieved to see that it was not only fine but getting better under the tempering of the vitality. He then walked to the dragon head in the center of the nine dragon veins, stood on its forehead, and turned to look towards the human world.

Following his gaze, I saw the vast vital energy, like a mighty river, surging all the way, passing through layers of void and pouring into the human world.

However, the human world is different from the void. In the void world, the Dragon Domain has already taken shape, and there is a domain wall blocking it, so that the spiritual energy can no longer leak out.

But there is no domain wall in the present world. After the surging vital energy flowed into the present world, although most of it remained in Yousu, a small part still leaked out to other areas.

This seemed a bit of a waste to Ao Bing. Although the prehistoric world was one, Yousu was his, and other places were not.

Therefore, the innate vitality released by the nine dragon veins that he created with great effort can only remain in Yousu and not anywhere else.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be working for outsiders?
"Dragon Territory, open!"

Thinking of this, Ao Bing's mind moved, and he manipulated the nine-headed dragon veins to make it flow into the vital energy of the world. It no longer poured into the underground, but circulated in mid-air, forming a super large vital energy vortex.

This vortex is extremely large, stretching for tens of millions of miles, and includes the entire Yousu Kingdom. It is almost one-tenth the size of Jizhou.

The vital energy was rotating at the edge of the vortex, without destroying anything around it. Instead, it was madly stirring the nearby void, piling them together, causing them to slowly turn from void to solid, and become a thin layer of colorless and transparent crystals.

Domain wall!

These colorless and transparent crystals are the domain walls. They cover the entire Yousu, isolating the spiritual energy here from the outside world and making it no longer connected.

At the same time, the domain wall also has extremely strong perception power. From the moment the domain wall is formed, anyone passing through the domain wall, whether he is entering or exiting, will leave a trace in the domain wall and will be known to the domain master at the first time.

The function of the domain wall is not only to isolate spiritual energy, but also to let the domain master know who has entered and left the domain.

That is to say, the domain wall is just in its infancy, its power is limited, and it can only block spiritual energy. In the future, as the Dragon Domain grows, the domain wall will become thicker and thicker, and even become like a city wall. Except for the domain gate, no one can come and go.

Domain is actually the city in the prehistoric times. Domain wall is the city wall. Domain gate is the city gate.

This will be the pattern of the future chaos. With the establishment of ten thousand domains, domains will be separated by domain walls, but people can travel between them through domain gates.

The blank area between domains is a wild land, where spiritual energy is scarce and Taoism is not obvious. It is a place of the end of the law, or even a place without law.

Criminals who have committed serious crimes, as well as resistance forces, will be exiled here and will be gradually worn away over time.

In the Land of the End of the Law, even if a Golden Immortal came, his cultivation would slowly dissipate. Quasi-saints were not afraid, but their cultivation would not be dissipated. From now on, their strength would not be improved at all.

Only those with great supernatural powers can be completely unaffected by the Dharma Ending Age.

"what is this?"

The noise caused by the formation of the domain wall was so loud that it could not be concealed at all. Therefore, all the strong men in the entire Jizhou were alarmed and looked here one after another.

But the next moment, the wall of the domain emitted a crystal-clear luster, blocking out all their sight.

Of course, the domain wall is still in its infancy and its power is limited. If the Jizhou strongmen really want to use their magical powers, they can easily penetrate the isolation of the domain wall.

But they don't dare!
The moment they had this thought, a terrifying force rose from the depths of the void.

The nine dragon heads slowly raised up, and their eighteen gazes swept around, shocking all the strong men in Jizhou so much that they trembled in fear and dared not move.

There is no quasi-saint in Jizhou, so the nine-headed dragon vein, which is comparable to a half-step quasi-saint, is an invincible existence in Jizhou. Under its gaze, who dares to resist?

"The Su Dragon Vein was created by me. Now I have set up a ban to isolate the spiritual energy. Do you have any opinions?"

As everyone was shocked, Ao Bing's voice slowly rang out, and suddenly, the pressure that was hanging over them was relieved.

"No problem, this is the right thing to do."

After coming back to their senses, everyone started to speak. Not to mention that this was a matter of course, the terrifying power in the depths of the void made it impossible for them to say anything against it.

Seeing that the Jizhou strongmen had no objection, Ao Bing withdrew his gaze from them and turned to look at You Su.

No, now it can’t be called Yousu, it should be called Dragon Domain.

Dragon Territory is done!

But it still did not meet Ao Bing's requirements, because the spiritual energy in the Dragon Realm was too rich, and it was all top-level innate energy.

Even if this environment is not as good as the heaven, it is not far off. Immortals can practice here without any problems. And this is exactly what Ao Bing did not expect to see.
