Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 247 Tianhe Canal
It is said that the Jade Emperor was also confused. He did not even think this through and flatly rejected Ao Bing's proposal. Now, he had offended Ao Bing, which was a small matter, and offended Laojun, which was a big matter.

Laojun is the pillar of heaven. If you offend him, the Jade Emperor will suffer if he refines fewer pills every year, not to mention anything else.

I can only say that the Jade Emperor really lost the big picture for the small this time. He even took the initiative to turn down the opportunity to do Laojun a favor for free. I don't know if he will regret it after a while when he figures out what's going on.

"Haha, tell my teacher about this. I can't be the head of his family."

Tianpeng was not stupid, he did not respond to Ao Bing's words, who was he to dare to take on a favor for Laojun? If Laojun knew about it, he would definitely skin him alive.

"It doesn't matter whether you say it or not. Anyway, you have gained something. You are not afraid that Laojun will deny it."

Ao Bing smiled and didn't take it too seriously. Favors like these are not about whether you acknowledge them or not, but about whether you get the benefits from them.

Unless Tianpeng is willing to give up the opportunity and leave Tianhe on his own initiative, he will definitely owe Laojun this favor regardless of whether he recognizes it or not.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about solving Tianhe's hidden dangers."

"As long as this is accomplished, I will definitely owe you a favor. No matter if I have to climb mountains of swords or plunge into seas of fire in the future, as long as you give me a call, I will never frown."

Tianpeng could not be Laojun's master, but he could still be his own master, he assured Ao Bing with great sincerity.

"This is not difficult. I have already discussed it with the Jade Emperor before I came here. Tongtian Lake, one of the nine lakes in the human world, is about to dry up, as you know."

"It just so happens that the water level of the Tianhe River has risen sharply, and the Tiandi Dike is gradually unable to bear the heavy load. According to my idea, we should build a canal to divert the water from the Tianhe River to Tongtian Lake."

"This way, we can solve the problem of the skyrocketing water level in Tianhe River and the problem of Tongtian Lake drying up. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

“At the same time, after this is accomplished, the water fortunes of the human world will surely increase greatly. I wonder how many lives will benefit from this.”

"This is a great merit. Those who participate in this matter will be able to share a lot of benefits. Especially you, Tianpeng. As a general of Tianhe, once this is accomplished, you will definitely be a quasi-sage in the future."

"The favor you owe me is truly immense."

Ao Bing did not keep the secret and directly told Tian Peng his plan, and reminded him that after this was accomplished, the benefits he would gain would far exceed his imagination.

“It’s still possible!”

"The problem that has troubled me for many days was solved so easily. Brother Dao is truly a talented person."

Tianpeng quickly went over Ao Bing's plan in his mind, and soon realized that this was completely feasible and that everything Ao Bing said was true.

The benefits gained from accomplishing this would be enough for him to cultivate smoothly all the way to the quasi-saint realm.

This was a pleasant surprise for Tian Peng. You know, his previous goal was to become a Daluo Jinxian, which would be considered a success.

As for the realm of quasi-saint, he had never thought about it. His family knew his family, and he did not have the qualifications. But now, he had not done anything, and the opportunity to cultivate to become a quasi-saint was delivered to him.

This is really...

This is really...

Tian Peng thought for a long time, but could not think of a word to describe his current mood. Finally, he bowed heavily to Ao Bing, and all his words turned into one sentence:

"Brother Dao, I will never forget your kindness. If I have a plan in the future, even if I die, I will not let you down."

He was so excited that he couldn't describe his feelings and could only use the most sincere gratitude to express his inner excitement.

“There’s no rush to express gratitude. Get the job done first, and then it won’t be too late to express gratitude.”

Ao Bing is a man of action. Now that all conditions have been met, he does not want to delay at all and wants to start the project of diverting water from the Tianhe River to Tongtianze.

No matter how big or beautiful the pie is, you can only reap the benefits after it is implemented.

"Brother Dao is right. This matter cannot be delayed."

Tian Peng heard this and knew that the business was urgent. He suppressed his excitement but still asked Ao Bing with excitement:
"Brother Dao, please tell me the location of Tongtian Lake so that I can find someone to plan and build a canal leading to Tongtian Lake."

It is not an easy task to divert water from the Tianhe River to Tongtianze. It does not mean that after digging open the Tianhe River, the water from the Tianhe River will flow obediently to Tongtianze. That is impossible.

The Milky Way is very quiet in heaven, but when it reaches the human world, it immediately changes. First, its volume increases by hundreds of thousands times, changing from divine water to ordinary water, and then it turns into a flood, wreaking havoc on the human world.

When Dayu was controlling the flood, where did the flood come from? It was caused by the water from the heavenly river flowing into the human world.

During the reign of Emperor Shun, the world was not at peace, with demons causing chaos from time to time.

Those demons, in order to wreak havoc on the world, do everything they can, either causing the innate coldness to sweep across the world, or causing the fire of the earth veins to burn everything.

Or maybe they sneaked into the Heaven Palace and destroyed the Heavenly Dike, causing the water of the Heavenly River to flow into the human world...

The Great Flood was caused by this. The water from the Heavenly River fell into the human world, causing the water level on earth to surge and become difficult to control, which gradually turned into a flood disaster.

Just think about it, if it was ordinary water, it could be easily solved by the means of cultivators. How could they allow it to turn into a disaster and harm countless lives?

Only the water of the Milky Way, which contains divinity, can make most of the methods of cultivators useless against it, and only then is it qualified to turn into a disaster.

If they don't want the great flood disaster of that year to happen again and turn a good thing into a bad thing, Ao Bing and Tianpeng must be extremely careful when leading the water of the Tianhe River into Tongtian Lake, and not allow any mistakes to happen.

Their small mistake is no less than an apocalyptic disaster for countless lives in the world.

"It's not that I look down on the Tianhe navy, but their cultivation is too low. I can ask them to maintain the canal, but if I ask them to build the canal, I'm worried that something unexpected will happen."

"This is a serious matter. To be on the safe side, I have asked my fellow disciples of Jiejiao to go up to heaven and build a canal leading to Tongtian Lake."

Ao Bing said after taking a look at the energetic Tianpeng.

If it was an ordinary matter, it would be fine to let the Tianhe Navy handle it, but building the Tianhe Canal is not a trivial matter.

If there is any deviation, causing the built canal to be washed away by the heavenly river, it will be a big problem. At that time, once the disaster is formed, the monstrous karma will immediately come upon them, and Ao Bing and Tianpeng’s future will be ruined.

No matter what you say or what you say, you must never joke about your future. Tianpeng and Tianhe Navy are familiar with each other, but Ao Bing is not familiar with them, so how can he dare to bet his future on them?

Moreover, even if Ao Bing trusted them, their strength was indeed a bit low.

Among the million navy, only 10,000 of them are immortals, and the rest are all cultivators of the Void Refining Sect. If they are asked to build the canal, how can they find out if someone sneaks in and tamper with it secretly?

Building the Tianhe Canal is definitely a great meritorious act that benefits both the heavens and the human world. But in the prehistoric world, even if it is a good thing, not everyone is willing to see it succeed.

Just like the evil sects, as well as the enemies of the Shang Dynasty and the Heavenly Court, they would certainly not be happy to see the completion of the Tianhe Canal.

They wished that Tongtian Lake would dry up completely, that the Tianhe River would flood the Heavenly Palace, or even that the great flood disaster of the past would happen again.

With such thoughts in mind, they naturally did not want to see the completion of the Tianhe Canal. If given the chance, they would definitely find ways to destroy it and turn this great thing into a great bad thing.

Anyone who dares to destroy the Tianhe Canal must be no ordinary person. Let the Tianhe navy repair it. With their level of skills, they may not be able to detect even if someone tampered with it in front of them.

In this case, it would be better to play to their strengths and let them form a Tianhe formation to block the Tianhe River and alert possible enemies, rather than letting them take huge risks to build the Tianhe canal.

Professional matters should be left to professionals, and the disciples of Jiejiao are responsible for this. Their strength far exceeds that of the Tianhe Navy, and they also have a lot of magic weapons.

Even if an ordinary quasi-saint came, he would not be able to hide from their perception and tamper with the Tianhe canal.

"Brother Dao is right. I didn't think it through."

After being reminded by Ao Bing, Tianpeng broke out in a cold sweat.

He just remembered how great the benefits would be if this matter succeeded, and how serious the consequences would be if it failed, which would be enough to ruin him.

If he succeeds, he may become a quasi-saint in the future; if he fails, even if his teacher Laojun comes forward, he may not be able to save him.

Since his own safety is at stake, Tianpeng would not agree even if Ao Bing proposed that the Tianhe navy build the Tianhe canal.

He knew his subordinates too well. Working together, they could deal with ordinary Golden Immortals without any problem. However, facing those top-level Golden Immortals and beings above Golden Immortal, they would be of no use. At best, they could just show off their strength.

If they really fight, they won't be able to kill him. "The Tianhe navy has limited capabilities. It is not appropriate to let them build the Tianhe canal. I'd better listen to you and let the brothers from Jiejiao do it."

"As for the Tianhe navy, I will arrange for them to suppress Tianhe, be vigilant of the surroundings, and fully assist the brothers of Jiejiao."

Tianpeng readily accepted Ao Bing's proposal.

Then, the two divided their forces into two groups. Tianpeng returned to the Tianhe Water Camp and organized the navy to form a formation to guard the Tianhe River. Ao Bing went to the South Tianmen to summon the Jiejiao fellows who had been contacted in advance.

Although building the Tianhe canal was a tough job, few of the Jiejiao disciples who were familiar with Ao Bing refused, because they would gain merit after completing the task.

The more disasters there are, the more valuable merits are. Because countless examples have proven that in a great disaster, merits are the most important thing to save your life, the more the better, it is even more useful than strength.

If one has enough merits, even a mortal can easily survive the catastrophe. If one lacks merits, even a powerful person like Di Jun and Tai Yi will die in the catastrophe.

Merit is so important, who would refuse it?
……

…………

Ao Bing didn't have to wait long before hundreds of disciples of the Jiejiao, led by Zhao Gongming and the Three Sky, rushed to the Heavenly Palace.

Sanxiao is a leisurely person and does not force himself to do good deeds.

But because of Zhao Gongming, they are now more eager for merit, and will hardly miss any meritorious deeds. They are more active than many of their fellow disciples in the Jiejiao sect who are in disaster.

The reason is that they are simply prepared to face disaster, so they accumulate more merits and make plans early.

There is no name of Sanxiao on the Conferred God List, but Zhao Gongming's name is on it. Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming are siblings and have always been one.

Although Zhao Gongming had repeatedly warned Sanxiao not to bother him, Sanxiao agreed verbally.

But if Zhao Gongming really gets into trouble, how could they really remain indifferent? They would definitely avenge Zhao Gongming, and they would definitely get into trouble.

The love between brothers and sisters that has lasted for millions of years is so deep that, let alone risking their lives, even if they knew they were going to die, they would not frown.

This matter concerns the heart of Tao. If Sanxiao does not avenge Zhao Gongming after he is robbed, his heart of Tao will be broken, and it will be difficult for him to make any progress in his cultivation in the future.

For those who seek the truth, such a result is worse than death.

"Junior brother, what a generous move!"

"Your ideas always exceed our expectations. The problem of Tongtianze has been around for a long time, and no one has been able to solve it yet."

"But you, just by going to the Heavenly Palace, came up with a way to divert the water of the Heavenly River into Tongtian Lake."

"Wonderful, it's really wonderful."

As soon as they saw Ao Bing, all the disciples of Jiejiao began to praise him.

As for the relationship between Jiejiao and Dashan, it is impossible that they were unaware of the problem in Tongtianze. On the contrary, not only did they know about it, they also tried to solve it, but all ended in failure.

It is precisely because of this that Ao Bing’s extraordinaryness is highlighted even more. Ao Bing has accomplished what they all failed to do. Isn’t this a manifestation of his superior ability?

"My fellow brothers, thank you for your compliments. You can't think of a way to divert the water from the Tianhe River into Tongtian Lake. It's not that you are not as smart as me, but that the timing is wrong."

"When you were managing Tongtian Lake, the Tianhe River was hit hard and almost dried up. How could there be any extra water to flow into Tongtian Lake?"

"It's normal that I can't think of this method. Unlike now, because the Milky Way has reappeared, the water level of the Tianhe River has risen sharply. This gave me an opportunity."

Hearing everyone's praise, Ao Bing quickly said. This time he was not being modest, but telling the truth.

Directing water from the Tianhe River into the Tongtian Lake is not a brilliant idea. It’s not that others couldn’t think of it before, but it’s useless even if they did.

The Tianhe River was almost dry before, so even if they came up with this idea, what would be the point? It was impossible to implement.

It can be said that Ao Bing was able to plan this matter because he had the upper hand. In fact, even if he didn't say it, someone else would have come up with this idea after a while.

Or perhaps someone had already come up with a similar idea, but because of the relationship between the Shang Dynasty and the Jade Emperor, they didn't say it out loud.

Instead, he planned to wait until the Shang Dynasty was destroyed and the Jade Emperor had no grudges before mentioning the matter.

But who could have thought that Ao Bing was so stubborn and did not give the Jade Emperor any face at all. It would have been fine if he had been the first to propose this method, but when he saw that the Jade Emperor did not agree, he even dared to threaten him and force him to agree.

All I can say is that others may be as wise as Ao Bing, but they do not have his courage or confidence.

Not everyone is like Ao Bing, who has a powerful background that even the Jade Emperor is afraid of.

"Brother, don't be so modest. The water level of Tianhe River has been rising for a long time, but you are the only one who has linked this matter to Tongtianze."

"This vision and keen sense of opportunity are far superior to ours."

Outside the South Heaven Gate, the disciples of Jiejiao did not rush to act, but instead flattered each other with Ao Bing.

Not until a strong aura of war came from the direction of the Tianhe River did they stop and all look towards it.

"Looking at this momentum, I think Marshal Tianpeng is already prepared. Brothers and sisters, let's stop talking nonsense and start the action now."

After taking a look in the direction of the Tianhe River, Ao Bing spoke to the Jiejiao disciples beside him.

At the Milky Way, endless blood energy rose up like a sea of ​​blood, sweeping in all directions. It seemed as if a lid was covering the Milky Way, so that water could not be poured in, fire could not burn it, and birds and insects could not fly.

Obviously, Tianpeng had made preparations and had already closed off the surroundings of the Milky Way.

At this time, unless a quasi-saint took action personally, even if a top-level Daluo came, it would be impossible for him to approach Tianhe silently.

Being unable to stop it is one thing; being able to detect it is another.

This is the greatest use of the Tianhe Navy, to provide warning and prevent people with ulterior motives from sneaking in and causing damage during the construction of the Tianhe Canal.

"A virtuous cause cannot be delayed. The sooner it is accomplished, the sooner sentient beings will benefit. Since Taoist Tian Peng is already prepared, we must not lag behind and must act quickly."

All the disciples of Jiejiao nodded, and then followed Ao Bing to the edge area of ​​the first heaven.

Yes, it is not the thirty-third heaven, but the first heaven. The thirty-third heaven is the source of the heavenly river, and its end is in the first heaven.

The Milky Way starts from the starry sky, goes all the way down, passes through the thirty-three heavens, and ends at the first heaven.

Ao Bing wanted to build a canal to divert water from the Tianhe River to Tongtian Lake. He certainly could not start from the source, but from its end point, that is, the downstream.

The Tianhe River is ten thousand miles wide and nine million miles deep, running through the thirty-three heavens. At the junction of each heaven, there are thirty-three huge sluice gates, dividing the Tianhe River into thirty-three sections.

They are called sluice gates, but in fact they are cities. Not only are there a large number of celestial beings living on them, but each sluice gate is also guarded by 10,000 naval forces.

There are thirty-three sections of the Celestial River, and in each section, there are a large number of tributaries that flow to various parts of the heavens to provide daily use for the creatures in the heavens.

If it weren't for the existence of these tributaries, which consume a large amount of water from the Milky Way every day, the Milky Way would have flooded long ago under the infusion of the ancient galaxy.

But even so, the consumption of Tianhe still cannot catch up with the supply of Taigu Xinghe. If not, Tianhe would not have become a hidden danger to the Heavenly Court.

"Fortunately, there are not many indigenous creatures in the heaven at this time, otherwise, the Jade Emperor would have enough excuses to reject me."

Arriving at the sluice gate of the first heaven and taking a look at the celestial creatures nearby, Ao Bing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If there were more living beings in the heavens, the demand for the Tianhe would increase several times. At that time, with the current size of the Tianhe, it is estimated that it can only support the living beings in the heavens and will no longer have the energy to help the human world.

This gave the Jade Emperor a reason to reject Ao Bing. In other words, even if the Jade Emperor agreed, the masters of the heavens would not agree.

　Five thousand words first!
