Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"Oh, I almost forgot. You can indeed sell merits there, but I heard that it can only be sold within the Celestial Empire. Can you, my friend, do that too?"

Jingming asked tentatively, not realizing that he had gone off topic again.

"If you need merit, I can indeed make a deal."

Keqing seemed not to have heard what the other party said and just said this.

Even if she knew what the other person was referring to, it would be better not to expose it.

Although I borrowed the name, but... it can't be considered as cheating. The other party's "there" refers to the Celestial Empire, but I also have the Celestial Empire. Although it is relatively small, it is also small, so it can't be considered as cheating!

It’s just that this Celestial Empire is not in Tianzhou, nor does it have the strong national strength of Tianzhou, but it is not wrong to call it the Celestial Empire.

Keqing didn't know what the restrictions were on the Celestial Empire's merits, but she could trade what she had at will. Perhaps it was because she was the one in charge of the Celestial Empire, so she could freely mobilize the national fortune that came with governing the Celestial Empire.

Of course, it is also possible that the merits gained from faith are not included in this list and belong to another system, but in the end both are similar. They are both brought about by governance, change, maintaining order, and development. They both have clear goals. Whether this goal is the Celestial Empire established by oneself or oneself, there is not much difference.

"Can we trade? Then come on, a few of you..."

"How many divisions?"

Ke Qing was confused.

"Oh, it's a measure of merit."

Keqing nodded suddenly and looked at Jingming

The senior took out professional measuring tools and started weighing.

Then, although it was clearly a discussion about Yu Qiu, it was forcibly turned into a transaction.

So Keqing got some good treasures again.

It's not too much to say that Zhenjun's wealth is indeed very large! There are indeed many treasures in it that are not inferior to those given to him by Sister Yuehu.

However, Keqing focused on selecting some extremely invisible treasures to stabilize the space and enhance its stability.

At the same time, some small spiritual veins, spiritual marrows, and some spiritual plants that produce and absorb spiritual energy were selected for use in the space to maintain the circulation and stability of the space.

This is to prevent another unexpected event from causing the space to collapse next time.

Even though the space is broken, as long as Jianmu is still there, nothing will happen to her.

Even if the entire space is shattered, there is Jianmu for circulation and development, and the chaos millstone underneath for throughput.

The broken space will at most turn into chaos, be swallowed up again and then spit out as energy, and then continue to develop again, and the cycle will be established by Jianmu.

Keqing doesn't use much energy in her body, so this doesn't reduce her combat power much.

If she had absolute control over this space before and the space belonged to her, now she has become the controlling force within the area covered by Jianmu, which means that everything within the area covered by Jianmu belongs to her.

Whether this area is space or chaos.

But... who wants the established order to collapse and start anew?

Even if there is chaos in her body, Keqing does not want it to be a chaotic universe, because chaos is chaos, it will not develop or continue, it will only be chaos.

Although its strength will not decline, it will not continue to grow and expand either.

In short, we should find more treasures to feed.

Moreover, the chaotic space could hardly nurture those spiritual plants. That pure chaos was truly mixed with countless powers, which she could not use.

It is just like spiritual plants need to extract spiritual energy from heaven and earth before they can be transformed into medicinal properties.

She also needs the help of space to sort out the chaotic cycle, develop it into a world that she can use, and then expand it little by little.

"Okay...is that enough, Senior?"

Although there was still a small amount of merit left, Keqing did not trade it all just in case.

"Enough is enough!"

Jingming was very satisfied. He looked at several special magic weapons that became lively after being infused with merits, and the magic weapons that had been contaminated in the early years now looked like brand new. His face was full of joy.

Keqing also knew about the existence of the merit artifact. She took a look at it but did not ask any questions.

However, Senior Jingming took the initiative to explain.

"I found someone in the Heavenly Dynasty to make these magic weapons. The advantage of magic weapons made by merit is that they can be used in many places, especially in the void. They are most effective against the invasion of chaos outside the rules. The defensive means far exceeds spiritual power."

He explained that spiritual power is invincible in Jiuzhou, but as a kind of power, it has some limitations in some special places outside the sky.

Therefore, today's cultivators, especially those above the Lianxu stage, tend to use domain magical powers and pure Taoist magic.

Keqing didn't know the details, but after Sister Yuehu's battle with those Lingxu, Keqing thought that it probably also required spiritual power, but a special method was used to condense it into a pure and unique aura between heaven and earth? Resonance or something?

She didn't understand, after all, she hadn't attained enlightenment either.

In short, the merit artifact is of great quality, versatile, and has few attribute restraints. This is probably how Keqing can be understood.

As for the other contaminated magic weapon, Keqing could also feel some chaotic and heart-pounding devouring power on it, but after the merits covered it, the two offset each other and gradually washed away the dirt.

"As long as you are satisfied..."

Then there shouldn't be any problem.

"Then I'll ask you to support me when the time comes, so that I don't have to let Fellow Daoist Yu take risks just for merit..."

"and many more!"

Jingming interrupted Keqing.

"Hey!"

Jingming slapped his head.

"I don't mean I want merit! You misunderstood. What I want is to let my disciple participate in it, gain some merit, and share in your blessings."

Keqing wondered, what blessing?

"Senior, do you lack merit?"

Didn’t they just exchange it?

"Well, that's not what I meant... I wanted to ask you to take my disciple with me to get some merit without any cause and effect."

Keqing didn’t quite understand what it meant to gain merit without cause and effect.

Isn’t there cause and effect for merit and virtue?

But after following Master Jingming's explanation, Keqing roughly understood it?

perhaps.

In short, there is a system in Tianzhou.

If in the fiefdom, the monks assisted the Heavenly Dynasty in fighting crime or other things, and saved people, there would be no cause and effect.

At that time, merit will be gained, and part of this merit will go to the ruler who is the owner of the fiefdom, and part of it will go to the monk who did this good deed.

Is this kind of thing a rule that is recognized by the public?

Although the royal family did not say it directly, people outside speculated that it was probably because the people of the Celestial Empire’s royal family took on the cause and effect, so the merits that were distributed had no cause and effect.

Chapter 893: Taking advantage of the good fortune? (6k) (2nd update)

Anyway

After listening for a while, Keqing roughly understood the meaning.

Doing meritorious deeds with her, the successor to the Celestial Empire, does not require one to bear the consequences of cause and effect, and it is easier to gain merit.

Jingming had seen this when he killed the fallen beast before.

Normally, they kill fallen beasts to protect themselves, and they will not gain merit no matter how they kill them.

But after Keqing kills a certain number of enemies, she will be blessed with merit. Even if it is just a tiny bit, even if it is as silent as the gathering of spiritual energy, he can still see it with his sharp eyes.

Even her own disciple who participated with her got a tiny bit of the tiny bit.

How strange!

It was clear that they had killed the fallen beast before and Heaven didn't show any generosity, so how come friend Keqing would get merit by killing it?

Jingming was puzzled and thought of something special about the Celestial Empire, so he conducted some special experiments.

As expected, this merit depends on the person. Only Keqing can get it if she kills the monster. Her apprentice can also get it. However, this merit has no cause and effect at all.

Correspondingly, as long as little friend Keqing is not around, and one's own disciple and the opponent are killed separately, there will not be any merit at all.

It's as if the way of heaven is really double standard.

When friend Keqing kills, it is to maintain the order of heaven and earth and eliminate the unstable factors in Huangzhou; but when your own disciple kills, it is simply self-protection. Since it is self-protection, why should you be given merit? Have you done anything useful?

Moreover, Master Jingming also discovered that although most of this merit was human merit, there was a tiny trace of it that was actually heavenly merit.

He was surprised, stunned, and even had a hint of self-doubt.

This...isn't it true that the way of heaven is to choose according to the situation?

Why don’t they have it after all the fighting, but little friend Keqing has it?

This can only be attributed to some... well, characteristics of the Celestial Empire's royal family.

After all, the basis of their cultivation is different from that of these cultivators. They are based on the system of national destiny and merit, and are not afraid of cause and effect at all. Of course, not being afraid does not mean it is true. It can only be said that with the national destiny behind them, they have great resistance to cause and effect.

True Lord Jingming doesn't have any special magic eyes, nor does he have any particularly powerful magical powers. He can't see Keqing's Taoist appearance, nor can he see her golden dragon of luck or anything like that.

However, with the perception of Zhenjun Lianxu, he could still vaguely sense it.

Therefore, he thought that this must be some characteristic of the people in the Celestial Empire.

Maybe outside, the heirs of the Celestial Empire represent a country or a region as a whole, so their fighting behavior will be different from that of ordinary individuals. Dealing with enemies means killing foreign enemies, and clearing out wild beasts means expanding territory and sorting out order?

He didn't really understand and could only guess. After all, as an immortal cultivator, he couldn't understand those medical cultivators, Buddhist cultivators, or those crazy-headed sword cultivators.

Even if they are Void-Refining cultivators, they are just more experienced and have a better understanding of their own fields and their familiarity. As for outsiders, there is actually not much difference between them and ordinary cultivators.

He only went to the Celestial Empire for a few years when he was in the Nascent Soul stage, just to use his merits to control the erosion of the energy of collapse.

I don’t have a very deep understanding of the Celestial Empire.

Keqing was speechless about Master Jingming's guess.

Double standard?

How could I come up with this idea?

However, she did have some guesses as to the difference, and the reason was probably related to the purification of the body.

Although the heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, both positive and negative, it is obvious that the yin and yang are unbalanced in Huangzhou, the consciousness of the way of heaven is weak, the negative has overwhelmed the positive, resulting in an imbalance in order, and the natural force of the way of heaven that maintains order is weak.

This is also why the heavenly punishment was not that strong.

Indeed, in Keqing's opinion, the heavenly punishment was not strong. Although it seemed so dangerous, it was indeed not very strong. After all, the power of the heavenly punishment was related to the surrounding energy.

If Huangzhou is a place rich in energy, the power of heavenly punishment can increase by at least 10% or 20%.

Of course, this is getting off topic.

He has a glass seal hanging on his body, which itself represents a part of the order of heaven. He is clearing away too much negativity, which is essentially to balance yin and yang, so it is noticed by the order of heaven.

This should be one of the reasons. Of course, for Tiandao, this amount of killing is not enough to have any impact on the overall environment. Keqing's personal strength is not that exaggerated. Just destroying some fallen beasts can correct the unbalanced order.

So Big Head should be purifying the so-called fallen beast corpse.

Keqing thought to herself.

Because simply killing them is only one part, the corpses of these fallen beasts will turn into fallen beasts again after a hundred years.

However, Keqing supplies these fallen beasts to the space as part of their nutrition.

However, these purified powers will not be completely used for the growth of space. Some of them will be released by her and scattered between heaven and earth.

Somehow she felt that doing so was more in line with the Tao, so she did it.

Her intuition told her that she needed to take out some of it. It was like the host giving a thank you gift to the guest, and the guest giving a gift in return.

It's a little weird, but that's how it feels.

Rather than being Keqing's own intuition, is it more like a kind of communication and rules between the inner world and the outside world? Keqing can actually vaguely sense this connection.

After all, as the master of the space, Keqing has complete control.

She could also notice every change in the space.

Naturally, in this process, she also felt this kind of mysterious convention that in order to purify these forces, she had to release some of them appropriately, so that things would be smoother.
