Chapter 246 Tianpeng wins easily

There are still too many conspirators in the ancient times. Ao Bing was just compiling a history book, but he never thought that this could be used by the conspirators to deceive the saint.

Fortunately, he was alert and did not fall into the trap. Otherwise, if he really wanted to write the information provided by the conspirator in the history books, not only would he not be able to write the history books, but his own future would also become unpredictable.

Having offended so many powerful Hunyuan masters, he still wants to have a future? He is dreaming. Even a saint cannot protect him.

Therefore, Ao Bing always felt that the intention of this conspirator was worthy of deep thought. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be aimed at him rather than the saint.

Even if this incident was really recorded in history books, the saint would at most suffer some damage to his reputation, which would not be a big deal, but his future would be ruined.

As the biggest victim of the incident, it was hard for Ao Bing not to suspect that the conspirators were targeting him. But the problem was that he had never offended a great master.

The people he offended were at most small fish and shrimps in the entire prehistoric world and could hardly cause any waves. Even if they wanted to plot against him, they did not have the ability to involve even the saints.

Could it be that he was overthinking it, and the conspirators simply wanted to seduce the saints and disgust them? As for him, he was just an innocent person involved.

The game between saints, even if it is just the smallest ripple, is no less than a violent storm for Ao Bing. If he is caught in it, it is normal to be beaten to pieces.

If you think about it this way, it does make sense, but Ao Bing always feels that things are not that simple. But it doesn't make sense to say that the conspirators are targeting him.

What virtue and ability did he have to make the conspirators pay such a huge price and use the saint as a pawn to plot against him?
However, now that things have come to this, it doesn't matter if he can't figure it out. He just needs to tell his master and uncle about it, and he doesn't need to worry about the rest.

No matter who the conspirator behind the scenes is, or who he wants to plot against, since the matter has reached the ears of the saint, it is the biggest provocation to the saint.

None of these saints has a good temper, and naturally they will not let the conspirators go easily.

"We still have to get stronger!"

"If this matter is really directed at me, then it means that in the dark, at least one great master comparable to a saint is targeting me."

"I was lucky enough to escape his plan this time, but I may not be able to do that next time. Therefore, I must become stronger as soon as possible. Only by improving my strength can I have a stronger ability to resist risks."

Ao Bing didn't know whether the conspirator was targeting him, but he had to prepare for the worst in everything.

Besides, it is not a bad thing to find a possible strong enemy for yourself. It can create a stronger sense of urgency and thus increase the motivation to become stronger.

Ao Bing thought that he had been living too comfortably recently, and that he had become lazy and even unmotivated to become stronger. This was not good, and he had to make some changes.

The easiest way to become stronger is to create a sense of urgency. Just like when he was skinned and his tendons were pulled out by Nezha, he felt a strong sense of urgency and even dreamed about how to become stronger.

"The history of the Heavenly Court will take at most a hundred years to complete. After that, the only thing left is the history of the human race. We need to urge the princes of the Nine Provinces to produce results as soon as possible, preferably together with the history of the Heavenly Court."

Thinking of this, Ao Bing continued to give a few more instructions, then left the history museum and headed towards Tianhe.

If you want to urge the princes of Jiuzhou to speed up the progress, you must give them some benefits. And what benefits can compare to the revival of Tongtian Lake?

Originally, even if Tongtianze revived, it had nothing to do with other princes. After all, it was the treasure land of the Shang Dynasty.

But what Ao Bing said to the Jade Emperor before was not false. The Great Shang really promised him that if Tongtian Lake was revived, they would lift the restrictions on Tongtian Lake and allow its water to flow into the rivers and lakes of the Kyushu.

In this way, the revival of Tongtianze became related to the other princes.

Which vassal state was not built along the river? If the water of Tongtian Lake flows into their country, wouldn't it be equivalent to opening up the source of water? The national strength will surely rise steadily.

This is the benefit that Ao Bing gives to the princes of Jiuzhou, and it is also a benefit that they cannot refuse.

As the saying goes, a man should return a favor, and the princes would naturally repay Ao Bing if they got any benefit. It is only natural to increase the investment in history writing to speed up the writing of history.

……

The Tianhe River is a huge river that runs through the thirty-three heavens. Its upper reaches are the ancient galaxy located in the boundless starry sky. As for its lower reaches, there is no lower reaches yet.

Therefore, the water in the Milky Way increased, and the embankment gradually became overwhelmed. The Heavenly Court had to devote enormous energy to governing the Milky Way.

It's ridiculous to say, Tianhe is a good innate divine river, containing countless resources. It should have been a great help in the expansion of Heaven, but now, it has become a burden to Heaven.

If this matter were to get out, I wonder how many cultivators in the lower world who have been unable to obtain the water from the Milky Way would curse their mothers.

In order to control the Tianhe River and prevent it from bursting its banks, millions of naval forces were stationed on the dams on both sides of the Tianhe River.

The commander of the million-strong Tianhe navy was Ao Bing's old friend, Marshal Tianpeng. No, now he should be called Grand Marshal Tianpeng, as he had been promoted.

There are many marshals in heaven. Basically, any god who can command 100,000 heavenly soldiers has the title of marshal on his head. They are considered the pinnacle of the middle level of heaven and are only one step away from becoming a high-level official in heaven.

The Grand Marshal is the official position held after the promotion of Marshal, corresponding to the Heavenly Venerable. He is a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court who can command millions of troops.

For no reason, Tianpeng was suddenly promoted. This had nothing to do with his ability, but was mainly related to his identity.

The fact that he was Laojun's registered disciple was enough for the Jade Emperor to give him the position of Grand Marshal.

As I said, the high positions in the prehistoric world are reserved for people with connections. If you don't have connections, no matter how strong your cultivation is, it will be useless.

Aren't the two saints in the West strong enough? They are already saints, so they must be ridiculously strong. But in the end, they are still regarded as unorthodox and not on the right path, and are despised by the immortals.

Tianpeng is a person with connections, so no matter how good his cultivation is, he will be promoted immediately as long as the opportunity comes.

Speaking of opportunities, Tianpeng's chance for promotion was given by Ao Bing.

At the beginning, although Tianhe was important, it was not important enough to require a million naval forces to garrison it. Therefore, the Tianhe Water Camp only had 100,000 naval forces at the beginning.

But later, with Ao Bing's tricks, the saints took action to repair the broken starry sky. At this point, the ancient galaxy that had been cut off for many years reappeared, the water level of the Tianhe River surged, and its importance became more and more sufficient.

In order to prevent the Tianhe River from bursting its banks, the Jade Emperor had no choice but to expand the Tianhe navy camp, changing the 100,000 naval forces into a million naval forces. Naturally, his commander, Marshal Tianpeng, also rose in rank and was promoted to Grand Marshal Tianpeng.

When Ao Bing arrived at the Tianhe Camp, the newly appointed Tianpeng Grand Marshal was training the navy. He saw Ao Bing from a distance and quickly went to greet him with a look of surprise.

"Long Zun, long time no see!"

People feel refreshed when they are happy. When he saw Tianpeng again, he behaved completely differently and couldn't hide the joy on his face.

This is normal. Tian Peng has only been practicing Taoism for a few thousand years, about the same as Ao Bing. At such a young age, he has already become a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court and a famous figure in the prehistoric world. It is reasonable for him to be happy or proud.

It’s just that Ao Bing is better than him, which is why Tian Peng restrains himself a little in front of him, otherwise he would be even more arrogant.

"Congratulations, Marshal!"

Ao Bing bowed to Marshal Tianpeng and said with some envy.

Although they are both high-ranking members of the Heavenly Court, equally young, and equally powerful in background, Ao Bing still envies Tian Peng.

Because his life was so smooth. When he was young, he traveled around and for some reason, he caught the eye of Laojun, who gave him an elixir that made him an immortal.

Then, everything went smoothly in the Heavenly Palace, and before long, he became one of the youngest senior officials in the Heavenly Palace, in charge of the Milky Way and commanding an army of millions.

Unlike Ao Bing, although his background is bigger than Tianpeng's, he has achieved what he has today through his own hard work. Even becoming a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court did not rely on his background, but on his personal ability.

The process of struggle is undoubtedly arduous. Who would want to struggle unless they have no other choice? Ao Bing also wanted to become a high-ranking official in heaven by lying down like Tianpeng, but reality does not allow it.

"Hey, if someone else congratulates me, I'll accept it, but if you congratulate me, it's a bit like just watching the fun and making a fuss."

"I don't believe you don't know that there are mines buried in my position."

When Tianpeng heard Ao Bing congratulating him, his attitude suddenly changed. The pride on his face disappeared and was replaced by sadness. He complained to him.

"This Marshal Tianpeng only looks bright, but it is actually full of dangers. The water level of the Tianhe River rises sharply every year. If it continues at this trend, it will burst the dam sooner or later."

"And if the Heavenly River bursts its banks, I, the Grand Marshal of the Heavenly Peng, will certainly be held responsible. It's possible that the Jade Emperor will order me to be taken to the Immortal Execution Platform and beheaded."

"If not for this, based on the wealth of Tianhe, how could a Taiyi Golden Immortal like me be able to take on the position of Grand Marshal of Tianpeng?"

"As long as there is no problem with Tianhe, even a Daluo Jinxian would rush to become the Grand Marshal of Tianpeng."

Sending him to the beheading platform is indeed a bit exaggerated, but other than this point, everything else makes sense.

It was precisely because there was a problem with Tianhe that Tianpeng was promoted to the position of Grand Marshal. Otherwise, even if his teacher was Laojun, others would have to compete with him for this position.

The original Tianhe could only support the Daluo status at most. But as the galaxy revived and the source of the Tianhe was restored, the status it could support naturally changed, from Daluo to Quasi-Sage.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a ready-made quasi-saint position? Even if it meant offending the saint, it was worth it. But what if there was a problem with this quasi-saint position? Then it wouldn't be worth offending the saint for it.

Others did not want to compete, so the former Marshal Tianpeng was naturally promoted to Grand Marshal Tianpeng. But Tianpeng was not stupid, how could he not see that he was pushed out to take the blame.

If the river burst its banks, he would be dismissed from his post as a disciple of Laojun, but he would not lose his life. But if it were someone else, he would be sent to the mortal world.

Not dying is certainly something to be happy about, but losing office is not something to be happy about either.

Therefore, since taking office, Tianpeng pretended to be happy on the surface, but in his heart, he had been thinking about ways to save himself. He did not want to be buried with Tianhe.

For this reason, Tianpeng even specifically consulted his teacher, but Laojun said that this was a test for him. If he could pass it, it would be an opportunity, but if he couldn't, it would be a disaster. He told him to figure it out himself and sent him away.

Tian Peng understood what Laojun meant. He wanted him to find a way to govern the Tianhe River. If he succeeded, he would be able to achieve the status of a quasi-saint. If he failed, it meant that he did not have the opportunity and it would be better for him to go down to the mortal world and become a free and easy immortal.

But even though it is clear, it is difficult to do it. Tianpeng thought about it for a long time, and finally he could only think of the solution of "it is better to open it than to block it".

But the question is, where to drain?
The water level in Tianhe River has risen sharply. Is it difficult to solve the problem?

No, it's easy. We can solve this problem easily by finding a place to release the floodwater. But it's very difficult to find a suitable place to release the floodwater.

First of all, there is no room left in heaven.

Secondly, the human world is not suitable either. The water in the Milky Way is too heavy. If it were to flow into the human world, one drop of water would be equivalent to hundreds of thousands of drops of water, which would flood the human world.

By then, the problem of the Tianhe River was solved, but a great flood broke out on earth. There was no need to wait for the punishment of the Jade Emperor to come, because the Heavenly Dao would have killed him first.

In order to find a suitable place to discharge the flood, Tianpeng was worried to death. Now, Ao Bing was still teasing him, and you can imagine how depressed he was.

"I came here just to relieve your distress, so I said, congratulations."

Looking at Tianpeng who was complaining bitterly in front of him, Ao Bing was once again amazed at his luck.

What worries Tian Peng is the rising water level in Tianhe River. Ao Bing comes here to solve this problem.

How could one say that Tianpeng was lucky? He did nothing but lie at home, and was promoted from Tianpeng Marshal to Tianpeng Grand Marshal.

Then, again, without doing anything, the biggest hidden danger was gone. Not only did he completely secure his position as Grand Marshal of Tianpeng, but the position of Quasi-Saint was just around the corner for him.

When the Tianhe River connects with Tongtian Lake and flows to rivers, lakes and ponds, its water will surely benefit countless lives. As the great god guarding the Tianhe River, Tianpeng will also share some of the benefits.

Coupled with the specialties of Tianhe, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tianpeng will not lose his position as a quasi-saint in the future. Even if he lies down and does nothing, he can naturally become a quasi-saint after millions of years.

You can become a quasi-saint just by lying down. Isn’t that good luck enough?
"really?"

Upon hearing this, Tianpeng said happily.

"Of course it's true. I'm sure you've figured it out. The best way to solve the problem of the Tianhe River is to find a downstream for it. You couldn't find it, but I found it for you."

"Remember to tell Laojun that he owes me a favor!"

At this time, Ao Bing realized that it was no wonder that Laojun was so easy to talk to before and easily revealed the fact that he had threatened the Jade Emperor. It turned out that the root of the problem was here.

Leading the water of the Tianhe River to Tongtian Lake was equivalent to giving his disciple a great opportunity for free, so he would definitely not object. On the contrary, the Jade Emperor who opposed this matter offended him, so it would be strange if he didn't say anything.

 Damn, I didn’t see it on the recommendation today

  I won’t say anymore. It’s too late today. I’ll start counting 10,000 yuan a day tomorrow.
