Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 369 Before Returning to the Ruins
Ao Bing was very curious about this question because it was very important. Although Zulong and Xuanwu were powerful and their strength was comparable to that of a saint, what was the use of them if they couldn't come out?

Therefore, the powerful people in the prehistoric world are not afraid of them. When there is no conflict of interest, they will give them some face because they are holy beasts.

But once a conflict of interests is involved, the holy beast that cannot escape will not be taken seriously by them at all.

This is also the reason why the three innate tribes are declining. If the strongest person is trapped and unable to show up, what is the difference between that and not having one?
But once they can walk out of the sealed area, even if it is just an incarnation, they can still bring great deterrence to other strong people, thereby increasing the influence of the three tribes.

Of course, the most important thing is that if the sacred beast can manifest an incarnation through incense and burnt offerings and walk between heaven and earth, then Ao Bing will undoubtedly be more confident.

After all, the prehistoric world is a place where strength is valued. However, improving strength takes time. In a short period of time, Ao Bing cannot achieve a significant improvement in strength.

So at this time, he could only pin his hopes on external forces, that is, to find more backers for himself. The more backers he had, the more confident he would be when communicating with the strong.

For someone like Xihe, just the Patriarch Tongtian might not be enough to scare her, but what about the Ancestral Dragon, the Black Tortoise, or even other sacred beasts?

At this time, she had to consider whether the consequences of killing Ao Bing were something she could bear.

"The incense and fire way is indeed mysterious. We have tried it before. Relying on the power of incense and fire can indeed help us condense our incarnation."

"But the seal of the Heavenly Dao is too strong. Even if I condense an incarnation, I cannot project the power of my original body into it."

"And without the blessing of the original body, the incarnation that only relies on the power of incense and vows has limited strength. However, the cultivation of a quasi-saint is really not enough for great use."

The Xuanwu sacred beast replied that he knew about the incense god, and as soon as the god appeared in the world, he thought of a way to condense an incarnation and walk the world in his place.

But unfortunately, although his idea was correct, the strength of the incarnation he condensed was not good enough and was only a quasi-saint.

What is the use of a quasi-saint?

With their status, if they just walk around, the quasi-saint incarnation is definitely enough. It can be used to intimidate the enemy, but it has no other use except to make people laugh.

"It's enough to be able to condense an incarnation. As for improving your strength, it's actually very simple."

"I can report to the Heavenly Court and ask the Jade Emperor to confer upon the five sacred beasts the title of Five Elders of the Five Directions, or Five Emperors of the Five Directions, so as to use the power of the five sacred beasts to further strengthen the heaven and earth."

"This is a meritorious act that benefits heaven and earth. The Jade Emperor will not refuse it, and the Heavenly Dao will also agree."

"When the time comes, the seal set by the Heavenly Dao will be torn open, allowing you, the ancestors, to project your power out."

“At this time, if you use the incense incarnation to carry the authority of heaven and earth, as well as the power projected by the deity, your strength will be greatly improved, reaching the level of quasi-saint perfection, or even a great master.”

"Of course, there are gains and losses. Doing this will certainly improve our strength, but it also means we have to shoulder more responsibilities. While suppressing the four poles of heaven and earth, we also have to shoulder the task of maintaining order in the five directions."

"But no matter what, the Five Directions are outside the Four Poles and within the heaven and earth. If you sit in charge of the Five Directions, as long as you do not fail in your duties, the Heavenly Dao will not restrict the actions of the ancestors."

Ao Bing expressed his idea, which was to let the incarnations of the Five Elements Holy Beasts serve in the Heavenly Court and continue to contribute to the heaven and earth.

In this way, Heaven will show leniency to them and allow them to transfer their power to the outside world and reappear in the world as an incarnation.

It sounds good, but it's actually quite tragic. The original body has to suppress the earth and the four poles and cannot be released into the world.

After much difficulty in condensing an incarnation that can walk around, he still has to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining order in the five directions in order to receive the blessing of the original body and improve his strength.

This is forcing them to work!

"It sounds feasible, but I need to discuss the details with other fellow Taoists before I can give you an answer."

The sacred beast Xuanwu thought about it and replied.

He personally approved of this plan. Thinking about the mistakes they had made in the past, it was good enough to have freedom. So what if they had to work for Tiandao? This was called atonement!
However, since this matter involved the five sacred beasts, it was useless for him to agree alone. All the sacred beasts had to agree. Therefore, he had to ask the opinions of the other four sacred beasts before he could answer Ao Bing.

However, he personally felt that the other sacred beasts would not reject Ao Bing's proposal. Even for the sake of their tribesmen, they could not refuse.

The water tribe was fine, as they still had the Candle Dragon in charge, so no matter how bad it got, it wouldn't be that bad. But the birds and beasts were in trouble.

The two tribes without strong men in charge suffered disasters after the rise of the demon tribe. The tribe members either merged into the demon tribe or were hunted down by it.

The two clans that once dominated the world fell apart under the annexation of the demon clan.

As a result, today, only two big cats and three small cats are left in the Phoenix Clan, hiding in the Undying Volcano in the south and dare not show up. The Qilin Clan seems to have disappeared, and it is almost impossible to find any members of the clan.

Only the dragon clan continued to stay in the prehistoric world, but their situation was not very good. They had lost three of the four seas, leaving only the East China Sea, their core territory.

Even in the East China Sea, the dragon clan only has control over the sea, but not the sea.

The former overlords of heaven and earth, the three innate tribes, have fallen to this point. How can the five sacred beasts, as the ancestors of the three tribes, not be anxious? Especially the Phoenix tribe and the Qilin tribe, which are about to be exterminated. The five sacred beasts can be said to have seen it with their own eyes and are anxious in their hearts. If there is a chance to escape, of course they will not let it go.

"Let me ask them for you. If they all agree, you can report it to the Heavenly Court. Now, we five old guys will have to accept your favor."

The Xuanwu Holy Beast smiled. He could see what Ao Bing was planning, but he liked this kind of calculation. If possible, he even hoped that this kind of calculation could happen a few more times.

Calculations of mutual benefit do not disgust people. Calculations that only consider oneself without considering the gains and losses of others will disgust people.

"The ancestor is exaggerating. This is what the younger generation should do."

It’s not that Ao Bing is modest. It’s hard to say about the other three sacred beasts, but the Ancestral Dragon Xuanwu is one with him. Planning for them is actually planning for himself, so of course he will do his best.

"Okay, we have finished talking about our business. Now let's talk about your business. The purpose of your trip is to go to the place where Emperor Xi fell?"

After talking about other things, the sacred beast Xuanwu returned to the main topic.

"Yes, I did come here to see the place where Emperor Xi fell. Regarding this matter, does the ancestor have any advice for me?"

When Ao Bing heard this, he knew that the sacred beast Xuanwu wanted to give him some advice, so he quickly asked in a serious tone.

"In his early years, Emperor Xi practiced the Way of the Two Principles and Four Symbols. After reincarnation, he gained a deeper understanding of the Great Dao, and only then did he comprehend the Way of the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, and with this, he surpassed his previous life."

"I don't have much to teach you about this. But when Emperor Xi was comprehending the Way of the Four Symbols in his early years, he asked me about it, and we formed a good relationship."

"Now, I am giving you this good fortune. Perhaps it will help you avoid some hardships in the place where Emperor Xi fell."

As he spoke, the sacred beast Xuanwu pointed at Ao Bing's forehead and left a mark of the yang on it.

Fuxi and Nuwa were the first wisp of the most yang energy and the most yin energy in the world. Therefore, their innate marks were the most yang mark and the most yin mark.

It's just that the two of them had an incredible level of comprehension. In the process of cultivation, they broke through their innate limitations and achieved the state where positive pole produces negative pole and negative pole produces positive pole.

Then, Nuwa realized the wonder of creation from this process, and Fuxi further deduced this process, combined it with the universe and summed up the Tao of the innate Bagua.

"Thank you, ancestor!"

After returning to his spirit, Ao Bing hurriedly bowed. Emperor Xi even left his innate mark, which showed that the guidance he gave back then was not insignificant.

Now, the sacred beast Xuanwu has passed this favor on to Ao Bing, which is enough to ensure that he will not encounter any danger during his trip to the place where Emperor Xi fell, and he will not return empty-handed.

"No need to thank me. This good fortune is useless to me. I might as well use it to help you achieve success."

The sacred beast Xuanwu said without any concern that among the aquatic creatures today, Ao Bing was the only promising talent. If he didn't leave this good opportunity to him, could he take it into the coffin?

"You can leave now. I still need to return to the Arctic to discuss your suggestion with the other sacred beasts."

Before Ao Bing could say anything, the sacred beast Xuanwu suddenly disappeared.

"Send it to ancestor!"

After bowing in the direction where the sacred beast Xuanwu left, Ao Bing set off for Guixu.

At this time, he was not far from Guixu. Not long after flying, he saw a vast black ocean in front of him. Above the ocean, heavy black snow fell, emitting a despairing atmosphere.

The sea of ​​​​the end of the law, the snow of despair!
If the heaven and earth come to an end, the world will enter the Dharma Ending Age. At the same time, black snowflakes will fall, bringing despair to all living beings.

This black snow is the result of the aura of despair produced after the destruction of the world. It not only has the ability to break the law, but can also extinguish all life.

Its appearance means boundless despair, which is more terrifying than the sea of ​​the end of the Dharma.

In other words, it is the falling of the snow of despair that causes the ocean below to transform into the sea of ​​the end of the law.

"Unfortunately, unless it is the power of the end of the universe that can annihilate everything in the depths of Guixu, it is just the power of the end of the law, which can't do anything to me at all."

Looking at the black snow falling in front of him and the dark and deep sea of ​​the end of the law, Ao Bing showed no fear in his eyes, and he didn't even put up any defense. He just walked in with a swagger.

The Dharma Ending Age is indeed terrible, but it is not effective for everyone. Only those cultivators who still rely on heaven and earth will be afraid of the Dharma Ending Age.

A self-sufficient cultivator like Ao Bing will not be affected at all even if he lives in the Dharma-Ending Age.

Black snowflakes drifted down and landed on Ao Bing's body. Before they could take any effect, the chaotic energy in his body rose up and directly refined it, turning it into his own nutrients.
