Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 383 Benefits and Risks

The Buzhou Ding is too special. It can continuously create merits. It may be an exaggeration to say that it is the number one artifact in the prehistoric times, but its function is definitely greater than many innate treasures.

Even a saint would be tempted by such a precious treasure, let alone those great masters who dream of becoming enlightened.

Perhaps, the Buzhou Ding is the key to their enlightenment. As long as they master this treasure, they can step into the long-desired realm of Hunyuan.

With this in mind, once the news of the Buzhou Cauldron spreads, there will definitely be many powerful people who will set their eyes on it and try their best to snatch it from Ao Bing.

Although the saint's reputation is great, it is nothing compared to the opportunity of breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

After all, as long as you set foot in this realm, you can compete with the saints. In this case, it doesn't matter if you offend the saints, and you don't have to worry about their revenge.

Of course, a saint is a saint after all. It is unrealistic to say that the title has no effect at all. It does have some effect.

At least before breaking through Hunyuan, those powerful people would not take action openly no matter how much they desired the Buzhou Ding. At most, they would hide in the dark and plot against Ao Bing.

Therefore, after the news of the Buzhou Ding was leaked, it certainly brought amazing benefits to Ao Bing, but it also brought him huge troubles.

He must do everything he can to protect the Buzhou Ding and block all the conspiracies and tricks from the dark.

Only in this way can he firmly grasp the benefits he has gained and transform them step by step into his own strength, instead of being busy for half his life and finally making wedding dresses for others.

Ao Bing was very clear about the danger he was about to face.

He also knew that these dangers all stemmed from the fact that he included everyone in the plan to repair the ancestral vein, which led to the leakage of the news of the Buzhou Ding, thus attracting the attention of many powerful people.

If not for this, he only needed to carefully conceal the existence of the Buzhou Ding and enjoy this opportunity alone, then there would be no chance of the matter being leaked, and it would not bring him any danger.

But while doing so is safe, the benefits it brings are limited.

Enjoying the benefits of the Buzhou Ding alone is completely different from sharing the benefits of the Buzhou Ding with outsiders. The latter is undoubtedly countless times greater than the former.

Granted, doing so would bring greater danger, but for the greater good, the risks are well worth it.

Becoming stronger requires taking risks, and opportunities always coexist with risks.

All of this was for the sake of profit. Therefore, Ao Bing knew that sharing the benefits of the Buzhou Ding with outsiders would bring him risks, but he still resolutely did it.

Compared with the risks involved, the benefits are undoubtedly greater.

Moreover, can the news about the Buzhou Ding really be concealed? This is a powerful tool for repairing the prehistoric world, and even the Heavenly Dao has to pay special attention to it.

Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for Ao Bing to have the Buzhou Ding alone.

Because he wants to use the Buzhou Ding alone, it means that the Buzhou Ding will not last long and will lose the ability to transform Pangu's essence.

Ao Bing could tolerate this, but could Heaven? After finally seeing the hope of repairing the prehistoric world, Heaven certainly did not want the Bu Zhou Ding to be damaged.

Therefore, in order to prolong the ability of the Buzhou Ding to transform Pangu's essence as long as possible, even if Ao Bing tried his best to conceal its existence, Tiandao would secretly leak the news and let more people know.

This cannot be prevented because the interests of Tiandao and Ao Bing are inconsistent in this matter.

The purpose of Heaven is to repair the broken ancient world, but Ao Bing's purpose is to try every possible means to gain benefits. Repairing the ancient world is only a process, not a result.

Therefore, while Ao Bing is still working hard for this result, his interests are consistent with those of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao will support him without reservation.

But once the process changes, Heaven will abandon Ao Bing without hesitation and choose another person who can help Him.

The way of heaven is so cruel.

Ao Bing saw through this and took the initiative to reveal the existence of the Buzhou Cauldron.

Since it is destined that this secret cannot be kept, it is better to release it on your own initiative rather than passively being abandoned by the heavens. In this way, at least you can ensure that the heavens will not lose it.

With the blessing of God, even if you encounter danger, at least you can save your life and not be completely destroyed and lose all hope.

In addition, Ao Bing took the initiative to release the news about the Buzhou Cauldron for another purpose, which was to save himself.

Do you really think that he let these strong men join the plan to repair the Honghuang ancestral vein for their own good? Wrong, Ao Bing did this all for himself.

Firstly, the more people join in, the greater the benefits he will bring. Secondly, the more powerful people participate in this matter, the larger the interest group formed will be.

At that time, even if someone wants to deal with Ao Bing, these strong men who are tied to him will try their best to help him in order to protect their own interests.

If the Buzhou Cauldron is moved, one would offend hundreds, or even tens of thousands of quasi-saints. Just thinking about the consequences would deter many powerful people.

Even if there are still some stubborn people, it is not a big problem. It is not easy to plot against Ao Bing under the protection of hundreds of quasi-saints.

As for whether there would be quasi-saints and people with great supernatural powers who would join forces to plot against Ao Bing, the answer is definitely yes, but definitely not many.

It can only be a small part. Most of the quasi-saints will still stand on Ao Bing's side, because the demands of the quasi-saints and those of the great supernatural powers are different.

The goal of a quasi-saint is to make a breakthrough. Although the merits required are great, the number is not exaggerated.

However, the aspiration of those with great supernatural powers is to break through the Hunyuan, and the amount of merit required can be said to be beyond imagination.

It takes great merits like Nuwa creating humans and Hou Tu creating the six paths. For example, repairing the broken starry sky or completely restoring the ancestral veins of the prehistoric world.

The Buzhou Ding can indeed repair the primordial veins, but if one wants to achieve the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian with this merit, there is a prerequisite, that is, to enjoy this merit alone. At the very least, it cannot be shared with too many people.

But if it is just a quasi-saint breakthrough, he can share this merit with many people.

If a person with great magical powers wants to break through to the Primordial Realm, he must enjoy this merit alone. But this conflicts with the demands of the Quasi-Saints.

The price of your breakthrough is to sacrifice our chance of breakthrough. Who can agree to this?

Because of this conflict, most quasi-saints are doomed to be unable to cooperate with those with great supernatural powers. They can only cooperate with Ao Bing, who is willing to share the benefits with them.

This has nothing to do with friendship, it's just a matter of profit. Only Ao Bing can give them the greatest benefit, so of course they are happy to cooperate with Ao Bing.

Moreover, no matter who it is, if they snatch the control of Buzhou Ding from Ao Bing, they will anger Tongtian Patriarch to the greatest extent. Therefore, in order to prevent being hunted down by Tongtian Patriarch afterwards, the person who took action must not reveal his identity. In this case, it is even more impossible to share the benefits with others.

When it comes to life and death, of course the fewer people who know about it the better. Otherwise, if too many people know about it, the truth will be hard to keep secret.

In short, Ao Bing's decision to expose the Buzhou Ding was a well-thought-out decision, not a sudden one. He considered the pros and cons for a long time before making up his mind.

It was better to expose it now than to be exposed by the heavens. If he exposed it himself, he could also gain a lot of favors and continue to control the initiative of the matter.

But if Tiandao leaked it out, he would be in a passive position, which is equivalent to being forced to share the benefits of Buzhou Ding.

At that time, he was just a member of an interest group and it was difficult for him to take control of the dominant position. This was the most fatal thing.

As we all know, only the leader can get the greatest benefits. If Ao Bing loses his status as the leader, his loss will be huge, just like someone else picking the peaches.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Ao Bing took the initiative to disclose the information about the Buzhou Cauldron. This was the only way he could think of to minimize the losses, and it was a last resort.

……

…………

Rumble!
Just as Ao Bing fell into deep thought, after swallowing a large number of fragments of Mount Buzhou, the power of the Buzhou Ding began to surge.

First of all, its shape has become more and more solid from an illusory state, and its size has become larger and larger.

The consequence of this is that its refining power is greatly enhanced.

Visibly, the lich battlefield below it began to shrink, and a large number of lich corpses were refined.

It first turns into strands of innate essence, then is constantly purified and transformed, and finally is assimilated by the origin of Mount Buzhou and sublimated into Pangu essence similar to the Hongmeng purple energy.

With a loud bang, more Pangu's essence than usual rose from the Buzhou Ding, and then fell down, along the huge crack in the center of Longzhou, flowing continuously towards the Buzhou Mountain ruins, where the ancestral vein was located.

This essence is the strongest force in the ancient world, and it is also the most effective force known to repair ancestral veins.

"The efficiency of the Buzhou Ding in converting Pangu's essence has increased by more than three times."

"And this is just the beginning. As the Buzhou Cauldron absorbs all the fragments of Buzhou Mountain that have merged into its body, the conversion efficiency will continue to increase, at least ten times, or even more."

Noticing the changes in the Buzhou Ding, Ao Bing silently calculated.

Although the materials needed to refine the Buzhou Ding are now equivalent to two Fantian Seals, this does not mean that the power of the Buzhou Ding has doubled compared to before.

The improvement will only be greater, starting from ten times, and a hundred times is not impossible.

To transform a top-level acquired treasure into one comparable to an innate treasure, the power would only increase by two times, which is obviously impossible.

The more fragments of Mount Buzhou that are integrated, the stronger the power of the Buzhou Ding will be, and it can even reproduce the power of Pangu.

This is the reason why its power has increased several times or even dozens of times, which is called quantitative change leading to qualitative change.

In addition, the efficiency of the Buzhou Ding in converting Pangu's essence is not only related to its own material, but also to other aspects.

That is, the blessing of external forces such as formations, luck, merit, etc. The stronger the power of Buzhou Ding, the higher the upper limit, and the more external forces it can bear.

The luck and incense of Longzhou, the small Zhoutian star formation, the luck of the underworld and everything that Ao Bing possessed, were all fully blessed to the Buzhou Ding under his will, in order to maximize its efficiency in converting Pangu's essence.

And this was before. Now, with the addition of many powerful people, their luck will be more or less blessed on the Buzhou Ding, continuing to enhance its power.

With this calculation, it is hard to say how many times the efficiency of the Buzhou Ding in converting Pangu's essence will be improved in the end, but it will definitely not be low.

boom!
Not long after, it was seen that the Pangu essence gushing out from the Buzhou Cauldron had increased by more than ten times compared to before.

Even so, this change still shows no signs of stopping, it's just that the speed has slowed down a lot.

This means that over the next long period of time, the efficiency of the Buzhou Ding in converting Pangu's essence will continue to increase slowly until the Buzhou Ding has digested all the fragments of Mount Buzhou.

However, in Ao Bing's opinion, it might be difficult for Bu Zhou Ding to achieve this.

Because as the effect of the Buzhou Ding gradually spreads, in the coming time, more and more people will inevitably come with more fragments of Buzhou Mountain to join in this feast of dividing the merits.

In this case, the time it takes for the Buzhou Ding to refine all the fragments of Buzhou Mountain will naturally be greatly extended. Perhaps this is the trouble of happiness.

In addition, based on the needs of the powerful people in the prehistoric times for merit, the number of fragments of Mount Buzhou that they can provide together is so large that even if they cannot reshape Mount Buzhou, they can at least restore it to 80% to 90% of its peak state.

In this case, Ao Bing was very skeptical. Perhaps he didn't need to do anything. With the help of so many fragments of Mount Buzhou, the ability of the Buzhou Ding to transform Pangu's essence would slowly solidify and become one of its inherent abilities.

If you think about it carefully, this is not impossible. After all, the value that the Buzhou Mountain fragments can exert is completely different from the Buzhou Mountain itself.

The fragments of Mount Buzhou cannot possess the ability to permanently transform Pangu's essence, but Mount Buzhou at its peak might be able to do it.

"If this is true, then it will undoubtedly solve a big problem for me. At the same time, it will also allow me to possess a supreme treasure that is comparable to the Six Paths of Samsara Disk, or even better than it."

Ao Bing couldn't help but think greedily that if the ability of the Buzhou Ding to transform Pangu's essence could really exist forever, then its value would be great, even surpassing the treasure of creation and being on par with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.

The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is not only reflected in itself, but also related to the responsibility it shoulders. It is responsible for the reincarnation of all living beings, which invisibly gives it immeasurable merits.

Let's put it this way, for every reincarnation of a person, the merit of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk will increase by one point. There are so many living beings in the world, plus a long time, the merit accumulated by the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk can be imagined.

That's why it's said that it's the most important treasure in the prehistoric world, and it's even better than the three great treasures of creation. And the Buzhou Ding, which has the ability to transform Pangu's essence, is even more powerful than it.

Pangu's essence can repair the broken ancient world. This merit is much greater than that of all sentient beings in reincarnation.

Therefore, if the transformation of Pangu's essence can truly become the inherent ability of the Buzhou Ding, then it is not impossible to say that it has the potential to surpass the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and become the new most powerful treasure in the prehistoric world.

"Look, it's the ancestral essence!"

At this moment, someone looked at the bottom of the Buzhou Ding and suddenly made an excited voice.
