People in Jiejiao practice Taoism and become gods

Chapter 58 [The Essence of Merit, Shift of Luck] (Third Update)
Jin'ao Island.

As a saint's place of practice, it was aloof from the world and was not affected by the war between the wizards and the liches. Even though Xuanqing had been away for a long time, the scenery on the island had not changed much.

"Junior Brother Xuanqing!"

As soon as he came back, he saw Taoist Duobao with a smile on his face. He was wearing a robe with wide sleeves, walking with a brisk pace, and a faint Taoist aura was revealed on his head.

Xuan Qing quickly greeted him: "Greetings, Senior Brother Duobao, are you preparing to break through to the Daluo realm?"

Taoist Duobao is now in a state where the Three Flowers and Five Qi are completely perfect. His essence, energy and spirit are integrated into one. His Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit is an integration of heaven and earth. His body is as big as the universe and his spirit is one with the void. He is in a state where there is no room for improvement.

"That's right!"

Taoist Duobao smiled and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, I will achieve Daluo in the next few days! However, I am unwilling to stop at the eighth level of Daluo Daohua, and I want to use the power of the innate spiritual treasure to polish myself!"

"Junior brother, you also know that I am the incarnation of the Dividing Treasure Rock. I am extremely sensitive to treasure energy. Junior brother, the treasure energy on your body is soaring, so I am sure you have gained a lot from this trip!"

"Therefore, Senior Brother, I have an unwelcome request. I hope that Junior Brother can lend me the innate spiritual treasure in your hand for a period of time so that I can absorb the precious energy contained in it!"

The Dao of Taoist Duobao is also extremely special. Like Xuanqing, he needs to comprehend the Dao essence of various spiritual treasures. However, the purpose of Xuanqing's comprehending the Dao essence of spiritual treasures is to refine the false into the true and comprehend the innate Dao contained therein.

Taoist Duobao, on the other hand, strengthens his own origin by absorbing the precious energy from them. The more innate spiritual treasures he comes into contact with, the stronger his own origin becomes.

As the first disciple of Jiejiao, he was naturally blessed with many innate spiritual treasures, and even the spiritual treasures of Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Senior brother, you're welcome!"

Xuan Qing immediately understood that the other party had sensed the aura of the spiritual treasure on his body, and immediately took out the "Falling Treasure Gold Coin", "Mountain and River Society Map", "Mountain and River Cauldron", and "Yin Yang Two Qi Bottle", and chuckled, "The innate spiritual treasures on me that Senior Brother has not touched should be these four!"

"The Falling Treasure Gold was obtained in Wuyi Mountain. The Mountain and River State Map was temporarily lent to me by Goddess Nuwa for protection. The Mountain and River Cauldron was a gift from the Dragon Clan. The Yin and Yang Qi Bottle came from a cultivator from the Phoenix Clan!"

"I hope it's useful, brother!"

The original form of Taoist Duobao is Fenbaoyan. Apart from the few innate treasures bestowed by Taoist Ancestor Hongjun, he has basically come into contact with all the innate spiritual treasures in the hands of the saints.

The purple lightning hammer and Hu Leiqin in Xuanqing's hands were both instruments that the other party had already come into contact with.

Therefore, he did not take it out.

"Thank you so much, junior brother!"

Taoist Duobao was overjoyed when he saw this, and then he said meaningfully: "Junior brother, you are very lucky! Not only has he been favored by Goddess Nuwa, but even the Demon King in the Ninth Heaven has sent his Demon Prime Minister Bai Ze to give you a gift!"

"Gift?"

Xuanqing's face was full of confusion.

Taoist Duobao smiled and said, "Didn't you save Little Golden Crow? As the Demon King, how could he not express his gratitude? It's just that you happened to be traveling outside and didn't meet Bai Ze. Teacher will accept the gift for you for the time being!"

"I see!"

Xuanqing nodded immediately.

This matter was indeed an unexpected surprise for him. As the Demon King, Di Jun was considered to be relatively capable among the many powerful people!
I just don’t know what gift Duobao is talking about?
"I'm going to meet the teacher!"

Xuan Qing smiled slightly, looked at Duobao Taoist and said, "Brother, do you want to join me?"

"Alright!"

Taoist Duobao nodded immediately.

Soon, the two of them came to the Biyou Palace together to pay homage to the Master Tongtian. After a simple greeting, Xuanqing immediately talked about the matter of painting a pie in the sky for all living beings.

"Interesting!" Tongtian Patriarch asked with great interest, "Do you know what the essence of merit is?"

"Please ask the teacher for advice!"

Xuanqing knew that there must be some hidden meaning behind Master Tongtian's words, so he immediately asked for advice.

Tongtian Patriarch nodded in satisfaction and explained: "The word merit, as the name suggests, means to be useful to the heaven and earth and to all living beings! A saint educates all living beings, which is merit! You evolved the innate eight trigrams and perfected the order of heaven, which is also merit! It is something evolved from the origin of heaven, and it is also a catalyst for the development of the general trend!"

"During the great catastrophe of the fierce beasts, in order to promote the evolution of heaven and earth, you can gain merit by killing fierce beasts, but that was hundreds of Yuanhui ago!"

"During the Longhan catastrophe, various great ways will evolve, and the Heavenly Dao will also bestow merits!"

"After the three lectures in Zixiao Palace, Di Jun will gain merit for his marriage to the gods, Kunpeng will gain merit for creating demonic writing, and you will also gain merit for drilling wood to make fire!"

"What do you see?"

Master Tongtian did not answer directly, but used various cases to guide Xuanqing to think for himself.

"Merit!"

Xuan Qing frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then tried to ask: "Could it be that the changes in destiny and the changes in the fortune of heaven and earth are also driven by merit?"

"That's right!"

Patriarch Tongtian nodded and said, "Dragon characters, phoenix seals, unicorn characters, and Taoist scriptures. Before Kunpeng created the demon script, there were various characters in the prehistoric world. When these characters appeared in the world, the heaven had not bestowed any merits! The demon script was able to gain merits purely because the destiny of heaven and earth was transferred to the two tribes of witches and liches!"

"You have merit for drilling wood to make fire because the witches and liches have caused public outrage, and the destiny of heaven and earth has invisibly shifted towards humans and acquired creatures!"

"The future may very well be the era of the human race!"

The spirit of a sage of the Heavenly Dao is entrusted with the Heavenly Dao and is able to comprehend the great trend of the Heavenly Dao in the dark. Through the changes in the destiny of heaven and earth, he can glimpse part of the future.

And Xuanqing, after listening to Master Tongtian's explanation, also understood the essence of merit.

If you have made contributions to heaven and earth and have been virtuous to all living beings, Heaven will bestow merits upon you. However, when the fortune of heaven and earth begins to shift, Heaven will also bestow some merits upon you to help the growth of races that are closer to the general trend in the future.

Simply put, it is a kind of investment. In the late period of the ferocious beast calamity, the Heavenly Dao invested in the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn. When the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn were despised by all the creatures in the prehistoric world, the Heavenly Dao liquidated everything and began to invest in the demon tribe.

But now, for various reasons, the demon race has begun to be disliked by all the creatures in the prehistoric world. The fortune of heaven and earth has shifted towards the human race, and the way of heaven has begun to invest in the human race.

This is also the reason why Xuanqing's drilling of wood to make fire, Ziyi's sewing of clothes, and Youchao's building of a wooden house were able to attract merits from heaven.

If it is said that Xuanqing ignited the first acquired fire, it is understandable, but before the birth of human beings, there were clothes and houses in the primitive world.

That merit is not the contribution of human beings to heaven and earth, but simply the investment of heaven in human beings!
"You have interesting ideas!"

Tongtian Patriarch showed a hint of appreciation: "My Jiejiao teachings are to seize a ray of hope for all living beings. Since you want to use this to trade with the Heavenly Dao and promote the evolution of the prehistoric world and the Heavenly Dao, your teacher will naturally not sit idly by! I can try to communicate directly with the Heavenly Dao's will and promote your plan! However, I need a witness!"

"Junior brother always makes plans before taking action. I think Junior brother Xuanqing has already made plans for this matter!" Upon hearing this, Taoist Duobao immediately offered the "Treasure Falling Gold Coin" he had just borrowed from Xuanqing: "This treasure contains the innate great way of trading, and even has a trace of the charm of the Heavenly Dao. It is absolutely perfect to use it to make a contract with the Heavenly Dao!"

Hearing this, Xuan Qing couldn't help but smile knowingly, and bowed to Master Tong Tian, ​​saying, "Brother, you are right. I dare to ask you to be a witness for me and the Heavenly Dao!"

"good!"

Master Tongtian nodded immediately.
