Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 322: The Path to Enlightenment, Open Your Mouth

Ao Bing could just refuse without giving any reason.

But if a saint talks to you in such a nice way and you refuse him directly without giving him face, making him lose face, then it would be too shameless.

Even if Ao Bing has done favors for the West, he cannot deliberately humiliate Western saints like this. Favors are not the capital for presumption, strength is.

Knowing that he couldn't hesitate for too long, Ao Bing hesitated for a moment, and then he came up with a suitable reason. He heard him say with difficulty:
"It's not that I want to disappoint the saint, it's just that these two treasures are too important to me."

"My dragon clan has a secret method of transforming into a dragon. With the help of the sun essence, it can transform into a Sun True Dragon; with the help of the moon essence, it can transform into a Moon True Dragon."

"It is no exaggeration to say that if these two treasures fall into my hands, they can completely help my dragon clan evolve two major branches and greatly increase the fortune of my dragon clan."

“So, it’s not that I intentionally failed the Saint’s good intentions, but this is related to the fate of the Dragon Clan, and I really can’t agree to it.”

Ao Bing was indeed quick-witted, and he could come up with such a reason. This matter related to the fate of the dragon clan, which was really important. With this as an excuse, he could completely reject Zhunti's request and leave him speechless.

At this point, if Zhunti wanted to continue the transaction, it would be really embarrassing. Nothing is more important than luck in the world.

As for whether Zhunti would be angry if the Sun True Dragon and the Moon True Dragon did not appear, it was easy. Ao Bingzhen could just create these two dragon tribes.

It's just about creating a real dragon, not creating an innate god or demon, so it doesn't require much of the essence of the sun and the moon. Even the two treasures don't need to be used. It is enough for Ao Bing to patiently collect the essence of the sun and the moon for decades.

"This is related to the fate of the dragon clan. If I insist on exchanging them, it would be a bit unreasonable. But unfortunately, these two treasures are also related to my fate in the West. I really can't give up."

"Well, I'll give you another piece of Bodhi tree branch. What do you think?"

Saint Zhunti lowered his attitude very much, and seeing that he could not convince Ao Bing, he did not use his power to pressure him, but took the initiative to raise the price and offered higher conditions.

Bodhi tree branch, what a concept, the true body of the Bodhisattva Cundi, it is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the top three innate spiritual roots in the prehistoric world.

No matter how much other innate spiritual roots are boasted, has it transformed? Has it become a saint? None of them.

But the Bodhi tree is different. Not only did it transform, it also became a saint, causing itself to undergo a transformation, completely surpassing other innate spiritual roots and becoming a rare innate holy object in the prehistoric world.

The first generation of lotus seeds are already very precious, but the value of Bodhi tree branches is not inferior at all, and even exceeds it in some aspects.

"Ah this..."

Ao Bing didn't know what to say for a moment. This script was wrong. When did the Western saint become so easy to talk to? He was so humble and put him on a pedestal, making it difficult for him to refuse.

If the Bodhisattva Cundi wanted to exchange it for Bodhi seeds, he could still refuse, but the branches of the Bodhi tree were different. They were equivalent to the Bodhisattva's clone and were truly too precious.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Zhunti is a saint, if he cuts off a branch, he will lose some vitality and need a long time to recover.

"I have another lotus seed of annihilation here. I will add this to my fortune and exchange it with you for the Sun-shooting Arrow and the Golden Crow Origin. What do you think? It will be enough to make up for the lost luck of the dragon race."

Before Ao Bing could figure out how to refuse, the Saint Jie Yin, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke and offered another tempting condition.

The true body of the Jie Yin Saint is the same as that of the Zhunti Saint, both of them are the ten innate spiritual roots of the prehistoric times. The difference is that the Zhunti Saint is the innate Bodhi tree, while the Jie Yin Taoist is the Jie Yin Divine Lotus, also known as the Nirvana Divine Lotus.

When the heaven and earth are annihilated, the Divine Lotus begins to grow, guiding all living things. This is the Divine Lotus of Nirvana, also known as the Divine Lotus of Guiding. This is the vitality born in annihilation, and it is the purest.

The so-called lotus seed of nirvana is the lotus seed produced by the body of the saint of guidance. It can be called a holy object of creation, which can enable all spirits to rebel against their innate nature and transform into innate gods and demons.

"This……"

Ao Bing really didn't know what to say, and at the same time he realized that today's incident might not end well.

The conditions are getting better and better, which is not a good thing. It shows that the Two Saints of the West attach great importance to the Sun-Shooting Arrow and the Origin of the Golden Crow, and are determined to get them at any price.

In this case, if Ao Bing insists on not giving it, the Two Saints of the West will become angry and humiliated and may do something bad to him.

However, even so, Ao Bing could not give them these two treasures. These were things that could lead to enlightenment, how could they be given to others? If he could give things that could lead to enlightenment, then what else could he not give?

If I retreat today, my heart of Tao will be tarnished, and I will keep retreating when encountering problems in the future, so that I will be further and further away from achieving Taoism, until I die and my Taoism disappears.

Therefore, Ao Bing must not retreat.

Taking a deep breath, Ao Bing suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and tried to speak in a sincere tone: "Since the two saints are so sincere, then I will not hide anything from you and just tell you the truth."

"These two treasures are related to the fortune of the dragon race, but they are related to the enlightenment of the disciples. Therefore, the disciples will not hand over these two treasures no matter what. The two saints should give them up."

After saying this, Ao Bing felt as if a worry had been resolved and he relaxed completely.

"Enlightenment?"

"I wonder if you could explain it in detail?"

Upon hearing Ao Bing say that the Sun-Shooting Arrow and the Origin of the Golden Crow were related to whether he could achieve enlightenment in the future, Jie Yin and Zhunti looked at each other and instantly thought of their layout in Tanggu.

Only the innate treasure is related to achieving enlightenment.

But that shouldn't be the case. If Ao Bing knew about Tanggu's affairs, he would have guessed that this matter was related to them. He would definitely not dare to say it in front of them.

Therefore, the chance of enlightenment mentioned by Ao Bing should have nothing to do with what they thought.

Hearing the question from the two saints from the West, Ao Bing seemed very conflicted. He didn't want to say anything, but he didn't dare not to say it. He knew that if he didn't say something today, he would have a hard time getting away.

So, Ao Bing made up his mind and said in a very serious tone: "This is the opportunity for my disciple to achieve enlightenment, and I shouldn't tell it. But since the saint asked in person, I dare not hide it."

“However, I must be frank with you. This matter came from my mouth and was passed on to the two saints. If anything goes wrong, the two saints must do their best to help me achieve enlightenment in the future.”

Ao Bing did not say what the opportunity for enlightenment was, but first asked the two saints from the West to guarantee that if his opportunity for enlightenment was spread out because he told the two saints, then they must be responsible to the end.

"Of course. The matter of enlightenment is so important. If you are willing to tell us, it means you trust us. We will never tell anyone else." "Also, since we know your path to enlightenment, it means we have accepted the cause and effect. If you get into trouble in the future, we will never stand idly by."

Jie Yin and Zhunti could see that Ao Bing was determined to fight to the death. If they didn't guarantee anything, Ao Bing would definitely not tell anyone about his enlightenment.

In this case, they just need to satisfy Ao Bing. Because now, they are very interested in Ao Bing's enlightenment and are eager to know whether this matter is related to their layout in Tanggu.

"Now that the Saint has said this, I feel relieved. My path to enlightenment is related to the Nine Li Divine Banner."

Ao Bing nodded, took out the Jiuli Divine Banner, and explained to the Two Saints of the West:

"I think the two saints also know that the Jiuli Divine Banner was refined by Chi You by fusing the fragments of the nine great ancestor witch divine banners. Although it is the most precious treasure of the ancestor witches, its properties have long since changed and transformed into a treasure of creation."

"And what I cultivate is the way of creation. In the past, I was abandoned by Nezha. It was only by chance that I got the Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone left by Goddess Nuwa that I was able to rebuild my body and repair my foundation of Taoism."

“That’s why my path was influenced by the Heaven-Repairing Stone and changed, and I embarked on the path of good fortune.”

"As a treasure of creation, the Jiuli Divine Banner is of great use to me and can enhance my cultivation. However, the Jiuli Divine Banner still has its limits. It cannot touch the true meaning of creation and is not enough for me to achieve enlightenment."

“Therefore, I decided to use the power of the sun and the moon to re-train the Jiuli Divine Banner, so that the nine innate energies contained in it can be further integrated and completely transformed into the Creation Divine Banner.”

"Then, I will use the Creation Divine Banner to absorb the energy that escaped between heaven and earth after the death of the Ancestral Witch, as well as the Pangu energy emitted when the Heaven-shaking Seal disintegrated, and continue to enhance its power."

“In this way, the Creation Divine Banner will surely be able to carry the true meaning of the Way of Creation, and I will be able to fully comprehend the Way of Creation through it and step into the realm of Hunyuan Dao in one fell swoop.”

"Do you two saints think that my path to enlightenment is feasible?"

The power of luck was once again demonstrated in Ao Bing. In just such a short moment, he figured out a completely feasible path to enlightenment based on the treasures he had.

It's true, even to the two saints in the West, Ao Bing's path to enlightenment was, at least in theory, completely feasible and there was nothing wrong with it.

And the most important thing is that only he can walk this path, others cannot.

First of all, there is the Jiuli Divine Banner, which is the most precious treasure of the Wu Clan. Ao Bing was able to snatch the Jiuli Divine Banner because the Wu Clan owed him a favor due to his work in sorting out the veins of the earth.

Try changing it to someone else. The witch tribe can’t kill you.

Secondly, it was because of the favors of the Wu Clan. If one did not have a good relationship with the Queen Mother Hou Tu, it would be impossible to collect the essence of the ancestor Wu even if one had the Nine Li Divine Banner.

For example, the Jiuli clan. They have been worshipping the Jiuli Divine Banner for many years, but have you ever seen them using the Jiuli Divine Banner to collect the essence of the ancestor witch?
Finally, collecting Pangu's essence was also something that only Ao Bing could do, because only he was willing to destroy the Heaven-Flipping Seal and disperse the Pangu's essence inside to repair the broken Honghuang ancestral vein.

There are only a few people who can meet any one of the above three conditions, and the only one who can meet all three is Ao Bing.

Even if the Jiuli Divine Banner transforms into the Creation Divine Banner, it is still not enough to enable a person to achieve enlightenment.

But the spirit of the Ancestral Witch is so powerful that if the Banner of Creation can really absorb it, then the probability of achieving enlightenment through it will indeed increase a lot and will no longer be slim.

If on this basis, one absorbs the more mysterious essence of Pangu, then the probability of the Creation Banner helping people achieve enlightenment can be multiplied several times.

By this calculation, the path to enlightenment that Ao Bing talked about is not only very feasible, but also has a high success rate.

This was a problem. If it was any other reason, the two saints from the West could still force Ao Bing to hand over the Sun-shooting Arrow and the Golden Crow's Origin. But since this matter concerned enlightenment, it was more important than his life and property. Ao Bing would rather die than hand over these two treasures.

“Alas, although the Golden Crow Origin and the Sun-Shooting Divine Arrow are completely insignificant compared to the Nine Li Divine Banner, they are the trigger for it to transform into the Creation Divine Banner, and they must not be missing.”

"So, I will have to let down the two saints' kindness."

"However, if the saint can find a yin-yang object that is no less valuable than these two treasures in the future, then come to me and I will be willing to exchange these two treasures with you."

Ao Bing noticed that there was something wrong with the expressions of the two saints from the West. He was worried that they would do something evil to him, so he didn't dare to say anything absolute and left them some wiggle room.

Let's get over the crisis first. As for the future, who can say for sure? If the two saints from the West want to stop him next time, it may not be so easy.

Moreover, it is not difficult to find a lunar object that can compare with the laurel tree, but it is difficult to find a solar object that can compare with the little golden crow.

Xiao Jinwu is the son of Xihe, who is also the god of the moon. This means that Xiao Jinwu is not simply a solar creature, but a yang within a yin, a product of the opposite extreme.

The essence of the sun born from the origin of the moon is a miracle among miracles. Even after going through the prehistoric times, there are not many. This is why the origin of the little golden crow is necessary to refine the innate treasure.

Only incredible miracles can give birth to innate treasures. Little Golden Crow is so special that the two saints in the West will have a hard time finding a treasure comparable to it.

However, the difficulty of refining the Jiuli Divine Banner into the Creation Banner is indeed far less than that of refining the innate treasure. The Yin and Yang origins used are just introductions and not that much.

The two saints of the West may really be unable to find a substitute, but with the saints' supernatural powers, if they really spend millions of years, they may be able to refine the yang within the yin.

It may not be enough to refine the innate treasure, but it is definitely enough to use it as an initiator to transform the Jiuli Divine Banner into the Creation Banner.

Ao Bing said that he would leave some room for the two saints, and that was indeed room for them. It was not a lie at all. It was hard to say whether the two saints from the West would still be able to control Ao Bing millions of years later.

"With your words, I feel relieved. I will definitely find a replacement for the Nine Li Divine Banner and transform it into the Creation Divine Banner for you."

The most terrible thing is to have no hope. Since there is hope, the two saints from the West will naturally not do anything to the extreme. Then the saint Zhunti took out a Bodhi seed and handed it to Ao Bing very forcefully.

How can people believe empty words? But Ao Bing accepted Zhunti's bodhi seed, and the agreement became effective.

If Zhunti really finds replacements in the future, and Ao Bing cannot hand over these two treasures, then no one will be able to blame Zhunti if he attacks him again.

I can only say that Zhunti is still Zhunti, doing things flawlessly and not giving Ao Bing any chance to exploit loopholes. I'll see how you break the contract after receiving the benefits.

Holding the Bodhi seed in his hand, Ao Bing wanted to curse in his heart, but he had to look terrified on his face.

　Still owe ten thousand!
