Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 261: Jianmu Takes Root
After reaching a consensus with the innate star gods, Ao Bing could finally leave with peace of mind with them and the powerful men of Da Shang guarding the Immortal River.

However, before leaving, he still had one thing to do, which was to leave an incarnation in the Xianhe River to observe the overall situation.

In fact, not only Ao Bing did this, but other Jiejiao disciples also did this. The purpose was to observe the general situation of the Immortal River and then create a set of formations that perfectly matched the Immortal River.

Although it takes a lot of experts to protect the Immortal River, the defense of the Immortal River itself cannot be neglected. And using the power of the Immortal River to set up a formation is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, the Immortal River was just born, and its power had just begun to take shape. People did not understand it and had no idea how to use it. Therefore, someone had to stay in the Immortal River to observe its power and shape, and then deduce the formation according to the needs.

Ao Bing was unsure about leaving this kind of thing to others, so he and the other disciples of Jiejiao had to devote some of their energy to do it themselves.

……

Deep in the void, a ray of golden light flashed across the sky, crossing a distance of millions of miles in an instant and quickly heading towards the East China Sea.

This golden light was undoubtedly Ao Bing. After dealing with the matters of Tongtian Lake and Xianhe River, he immediately set off for the East China Sea without stopping.

There are two purposes. One is to discuss with the dragon clan to separate some of the clan members and move to Xianhe; the other is to cultivate the Jianmu seeds in hand.

The former is to seek benefits for the Dragon Clan and to strengthen their voice in the Dragon Clan, and will basically not encounter any resistance. The latter is to develop Longzhou and rebuild Tongtianze.

Why did Ao Bing look down on Tongtianze? Of course it was because the Jianmu seeds were in his hands!

Tongtianze is originally a derivative of Tongtian Jianmu. With the Jianmu seed, as long as it is planted, a new Tongtianze can be rebuilt at any time.

If that was the case, why would he risk a falling out with the Shang Dynasty to rob the Shang Dynasty of Tongtianze? Doing so would not only be too ugly, but would also destroy the good reputation he had worked so hard to build.

If Ao Bing gets a reputation for being greedy, it will be detrimental to his future plans.

……

On the way to the East China Sea, Ao Bing's speed became slower and slower, and in the end, he even stopped. The momentum on his body was more like a punctured balloon, falling madly.

Soon, he fell back from the mythical Taiyi realm to the Golden Immortal realm.

The experience card has expired!

After all, his mythical Taiyi realm was not obtained through his own hard work, but was based on the power of incense and vows. He forcibly borrowed the future fruits of the Tao and only then could he barely set foot in the mythical Taiyi realm.

If the incense and wish power were endless, he would naturally be able to stay in the mythical Taiyi realm. But his incense and wish power was limited, and now that it was exhausted, his realm would inevitably fall and return to the Golden Immortal.

"The gap is so huge, like heaven and earth."

"But it doesn't matter. In three hundred years at least, and five hundred years at most, I will be able to officially step into the realm of mythical Taiyi without relying on external forces."

The drop in his realm made Ao Bing feel an uncontrollable sense of gap, and he felt extremely empty and weak.

But he did not regret it, because it would not be long before he could be promoted to the mythical Taiyi realm with his own ability, instead of relying on external forces like today to barely step into this realm and not last long.

Fearing that this would drag down Ao Bing and become his weak point, the Dragon King of the East China Sea had already sealed off the Dragon Palace. He would not leave the palace until the catastrophe of the immortals and gods was over.

Therefore, when Ao Bing returned to the East China Sea this time, he did not go to look for the Dragon King of the East China Sea, but went straight back to Longzhou, and then sent a message to the Dongji Holy Land, asking the dragon ancestors there to send people here to discuss with him.

As for why he didn't go to the East Pole in person, it was not because he was being arrogant, but because the East Pole was named the Holy Land of Dragons, but in fact it was the place where the Ancestral Dragon, also known as the sacred beast Azure Dragon, was imprisoned.

The four extreme places, including but not limited to the eastern extreme place, are essentially four cages, specially used to imprison the four sacred beasts. This will not change even if there are abundant resources inside.

Since it was a cage, it was extremely troublesome to enter and exit. Some people were not even allowed to approach the Four Poles.

Ao Bing can go to the Easternmost place, but it is very troublesome. If he doesn't go in, it's fine. But once he goes in, he won't be able to come out for thousands of years.

In ordinary times, it is only a few thousand years, which is nothing at all.

But at this time, Ao Bing dared not stay in the East Pole for thousands of years. If that were the case, I'm afraid that when he came out, the whole world would be in turmoil.

Since he couldn't go, naturally only people from the Easternmost Land could come.

It is easy to send a message to the Eastern Region, but it is very troublesome for them to come over, and it takes time.

Therefore, after the message was completed, Ao Bing did not wait for them, but came to the center of Longzhou and followed the void passage here to the location of the Honghuang ancestral vein.

The purpose of coming here is naturally to borrow the essence of the ancestral veins to plant the Jianmu seeds.

The current environment is not suitable for Jianmu's growth, so no matter how hard the businessmen tried, they could not get any response from Jianmu.

But Ao Bing is different, he carries a strong ancestral essence in him.

No matter what time it is, the essence of the ancestral veins is the highest level of original power in the prehistoric world. It can even grow chaotic spiritual roots, let alone innate spiritual roots.

Others may not be able to feel the essence of the ancestral veins, but Tongtian Jianmu, as the top-level innate spiritual root in the prehistoric times, is extremely sensitive to the essence of the ancestral veins.

Even if the ancestral vein aura on Ao Bing was weak, it could still sense it clearly. And the ancestral vein aura was precisely the key to Jianmu's rebirth.

Even in a worse environment, in the Dharma Ending Age, the ancestral essence can enable Tongtian Jianmu to be reborn, not to mention this time when the environment of heaven and earth is slowly recovering.

Therefore, after seeing Ao Bing, before he could speak, Jianmu, which had been dead for many years, revived on its own and turned into a seed and flew towards him.

There is no such thing as coincidence, it is all due to fate. If Ao Bing had not revived the primordial ancestral vein, Jianmu would not have chosen him on his own initiative.

Even if he got the root of Jianmu from the Shang Dynasty, it would be useless. The result would be that he would become the second Shang Dynasty. Even if he tried his best, he would not be able to awaken the vitality of Jianmu.

……

After many years, Ao Bing came to the ancestral vein of Honghuang again. Compared with the beginning, this place has not changed much, but there are more purple air currents wandering in the void.

Previously there were only a few wisps, but now they gathered together to form purple rivers.

This purple gas is, without a doubt, the ancestral essence known as the strongest origin in the ancient times.

It is the origin of the great god Pangu. Not to mention the ancient world, even looking at the entire chaos, there are few powers that can match it, let alone surpass it.

It can even be said that apart from the Hongmeng purple energy, the ancestral essence is the strongest original force, even the origin of the Chaos Demon God is slightly inferior to it.

The Hongmeng Purple Qi is the foundation of the Great Dao and is the original and most fundamental force. Everything, including chaos, originates from it, even the great god Pangu and the demon god Chaos are no exception.

Its strength is evident, and it is well-deserved to be the first.

However, if Pangu God succeeded in achieving the Great Dao and became an eternal and immortal being, then the essence of the ancestral vein transformed from his origin might not be incomparable to the primordial purple qi. Unfortunately, Pangu God failed to break through, and his power was not as good as the Great Dao. His origin, naturally, could not be comparable to the primordial purple qi, which was known as the foundation of the Great Dao.

Ignoring the ancestral essence around him, Ao Bing moved forward all the way and came to the core of the ancestral vein, the place where Emperor Yu fell.

What came into view was a huge nine-clawed yellow dragon. At the head of the yellow dragon, a number of innate Dao fetuses were trembling slightly, constantly devouring the surrounding ancestral vein essence.

The creatures nurtured in these innate Tao fetuses are none other than the creatures created by Ao Bing, and they are also the innate human-dragons that are his and Yang Chan's offspring.

"very good!"

"After a while, they will be born and become a great help to me in the future, thus preventing me from being in a situation where I have no one to rely on."

After taking a quick look at their conditions, Ao Bing couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction when he saw that they were developing well and had begun to take shape.

These are his descendants, who naturally share the same stance and are his greatest help. In the future, he will change the feudal system to a county system and centralize power, and these descendants will be his greatest reliance and help.

It’s a pity that they haven’t been born yet, and it will take a very long time before they can be put to use.

But fortunately, unifying the ancient world and demarcating the three thousand states and ten thousand regions is not an easy task and requires a long time to promote.

This also means that Ao Bing has enough time to wait for his offspring to grow up.

Yes, Ao Bing's descendants are not limited to the innate human dragon in front of him. In the future, he will need to give birth to more descendants.

This is not because he is lustful, but to consolidate power and at the same time, to maintain the prosperity and strength of the race.

What does offspring have to do with these? It's very important. Which of the supreme beings in the past dynasties didn't have many offspring? The power of one person is limited, but with many offspring, the power will be multiplied.

In the distant past, Zulong had countless descendants, but only nine of them were well known.

The same is true for the Dragon Ancestor, the Phoenix Ancestor, and the Unicorn Ancestor, all of whom have countless descendants.

To take a closer look, the Three Sovereigns of the human race, Fuxi, the Emperor of Heaven, Shennong, the Emperor of Earth, and Xuanyuan, the Emperor of Man, all had many descendants.

Especially the Emperor Xuanyuan, who married into all races and his offspring were almost comparable to those of the Ancestral Dragon.

In a world with bloodline power, the best way to ensure the strength of the race is to have more offspring. At least, the offspring can inherit the power of their own bloodline, and even if they are not good enough, their starting point is higher than countless others.

The worst that Ao Bing's descendants can achieve is a Taiyi Golden Immortal. As for ordinary people, unless they are extremely lucky, there is no possibility for them to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

This is the difference.

The ancient world is vast, and it presents many epic stories and legends. But in the end, it is nothing more than a history of family struggles.

The story of a group of Pangu's descendants fighting to inherit Pangu's legacy!

Even the top level ones have to rely on bloodline and inheritance, and have a connection with the great god Pangu to become the supreme being, let alone the middle and lower levels.

Either you compete with bloodline or inheritance. If you have neither, you can only struggle at the bottom.

Bloodline and inheritance are the foundation of the ancient world, and even Ao Bing cannot change it.

Therefore, he could only integrate into the group, have more children, pass on his powerful bloodline, and cultivate as many helpers as possible.

"It's also your luck. You can still improve your footwork."

After staring at these innate Dao fetuses for a while, Ao Bing suddenly said, "It's really good luck, and the benefits can't be stopped."

Being nurtured by the ancestral essence was already a top-notch fortune. Now, Ao Bing was going to plant the Tongtian Jianmu here.

Afterwards, when Tongtian Jianmu is resurrected and takes root and sprouts again, the purest and original vitality emitted by its instinct will undoubtedly be absorbed by the innate Tao fetus closest to it.

This initial vitality is not an ordinary vitality. It contains the origin of Jianmu. After these innate Taoist fetuses absorb it, the benefits can be imagined, and their foundation will inevitably be improved again.

In the past, Ao Bing did not expect them to become innate gods and demons, but now, Ao Bing feels that they may have the hope of being born as innate gods and demons.

Although the probability is not 100%, it is about 40% to 50%, which is not low.

This is opportunity. First there is the essence of the ancestral veins, and then there is the vitality of Jianmu. Even if it is an acquired creature, with so much good fortune, it can take off on the spot.

What's more, these innate human-dragons are innate creatures. With these blessings, they will only become stronger.

"Perhaps, it was Emperor Yu who showed his divine power and changed their fate."

Ao Bing also felt that the luck of these innate human dragons was a little too good. However, thinking that they were born by Emperor Yu's side, he felt relieved.

It was normal for them to have such good fortune and fate with Emperor Yu. After all, Emperor Yu's blood flowed in their bodies, so it was natural for them to be taken care of by Emperor Yu.

"This is also a good thing. The stronger they are, the more help they will bring to me in the future."

It was a good thing after all. Ao Bing didn't think much about it. He took out the Jianmu seeds he got from Tongtianze and planted them in the ambergris mud deep in Ambergris Lake.

Ambergris Lake was formed from Emperor Yu’s ambergris and is the world’s most precious treasure.

The ambergris mud at the bottom of Ambergris Lake is even more precious, formed by the precipitation of ambergris. Even the earth-based divine Xiran is far inferior in value, and only the legendary Jiutian Xiran can surpass it.

Plant the Jianmu seed here. Even if it is a dead seed, it will revive under the nourishment of the ancestral essence.

It is no exaggeration to say that even at the beginning of the world, when Jianmu was just born, the environment that nurtured it was not like this.

This is the ancestral vein of the prehistoric world. Looking at the entire prehistoric world, only the twelve ancestral witches and the innate treasure, the twenty-fourth-grade green lotus of creation, are qualified to be nurtured by the essence of the ancestral vein.

For the rest, being able to grow on Mount Buzhou is already a rare fortune.

Tongtian Jianmu was born at a good time. If it had been in the past, it would not have had such good fortune. It can only be said that blessing is not necessarily a disaster, and disaster is not necessarily a blessing. If it had not been broken before, how could it have been reborn in the ancestral vein?

It's really hard to explain something like fate.

Click!Click!
The effect of the ancestral essence was surprisingly good. Not long after Ao Bing planted the Jianmu seeds, he heard a cracking sound.

It has begun to sprout, and the tiny roots have pushed open the epidermis, taking root in the ambergris mud, desperately absorbing nutrients.
