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

"If I take this thing out, my punishment will be doubled, so I might as well go by myself..."

"But logically speaking, the next punishment should be normal, and your calamity should be much less."

The Book of Heaven and Earth showed no interest in this. Keqing thought about it and realized that there really was no way to exploit the Heavenly Punishment...

"and many more……"

"Why did you experience divine punishment..."

Keqing asked suddenly, thinking of something.

"Of course I am a sacred artifact left by Shinto. I am the descendant of Shinto and I have the rules of Shinto on me."

The Book of Heaven and Earth said without hesitation.

"So, you were struck by the Heavenly Lightning because you had the rules of the Divine Way on you. Because they were the rules of the Old Way and were not permitted by Heaven and Earth? That's what you mean, right?"

Keqing said thoughtfully.

"It's not that Heaven doesn't allow it, right? How should I put it... it's just, it's just..."

The Book of Heaven and Earth hesitated and didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"Master, this is what he meant..."

The system spoke at this time.

"Take our system for example. Our system is also made up of pieces of data and programs. If we compare Tiandao with us, we can see that there are some similarities between them."

"How to say?"

Seeing Keqing asking, the system began to explain.

"The Way of Heaven is a set of rules, and it is also composed of rules one after another. The Way of Heaven is a collection of them, just like our system is the overall control center of the system."

"However, Jiuzhou will continue to develop, and the way of heaven is not static. The world of the world is running, which is very similar to our system. Our system also needs to evolve and upgrade, and the program is constantly upgraded. So the situation of the Book of Heaven and Earth is more like..."

The system thought about the wording.

"It's more like a program that has not been upgraded and has not kept up with the overall development of the Kyushu World."

"So it was quite eye-catching when it appeared, and was spotted by Tiandao immediately because it had the aura of an older version."

"So, it's not that the Heavenly Dao doesn't accommodate him. In fact, there are powerful immortal tools like the Book of Heaven and Earth. Experiencing normal thunder tribulations can also be considered part of the Heavenly Dao's operating rules."

Keqing understood.

Keqing actually doesn't know much about the origin of the system, but she does know a little about the system itself, such as the program and version. She often hears the system talk about it, and she also asks about it from time to time, so she has some understanding of it.

So after the system's explanation and analogy with the Way of Heaven, Keqing understood a lot more and had a better understanding of her thoughts and guesses.

Be determined.

"That is to say, the Book of Heaven and Earth can actually exist as permitted by the Heavenly Dao, but its version is too old, so it is easy to be discovered, and it does not match the existing Heavenly Dao system. Over time, it will form a bug, which will hinder the development of the Heavenly Dao."

"So, the punishment from heaven will come against him, right?"

"Yes, Master, you really understand it very quickly."

The system praised sincerely, saying that the master was worthy of being its master and was really smart.

"Then on the other hand, under the divine punishment, as long as it survives, it is allowed. Why?"

"It's fine if you can't make it through the divine punishment, but if you make it through, you can be allowed. Does this mean that the divine punishment itself is also a part of the transformation, a means of upgrading the old version to the new version..."

However, Keqing's next words made the system a little stunned.

It had never heard of such a statement.

However, what the master said seemed to make some sense.

However, the Book of Heaven and Earth at the side didn't understand anything at all. Instead, he was a little confused. What program? What version? How could he not understand?

Because the Book of Heaven and Earth has little contact with the system and does not have in-depth conversations with it, it is often busy managing its worlds and therefore does not know these professional terms at all.

However, the little coal ball next to him often chatted with the system. He had put a lot of effort in installing the system before. After hearing the conversation between the master and the little brother, he suddenly understood.

"Master, why do you feel this way..."

Little Coal Ball asked curiously.

"Well, think about it. Whether it's the thunder tribulation of the cultivators or the heavenly punishment of the way of heaven, they are essentially a kind of revisionism. In essence, they are to maintain the operation of the world itself. Although they also have the meaning of restraint, punishment and judgment, they are more about maintaining the operation of the world."

Keqing thought about it.

"Why do you think that after a cultivator has passed the tribulation, the Heavenly Dao will allow it to stop sending thunder tribulations unless they reach a great level? You have to know that the Heavenly Dao is infinite, and it has the energy of the entire Nine Provinces as its backing. Is it really impossible to kill a cultivator with lightning?"

"That's because of the rules..."

"Yes, it is because of the restrictions of the rules. What kind of rules restrict it? If the monks are regarded as viruses, then they should be cleaned up if they are sick. It is obviously unreasonable to let the body get sick when it can be cleaned up, isn't it?"

The system and Coal Ball were stunned.

It seems so.

"It's very simple. The thunder tribulation is actually a process of transformation. It assimilates the cultivators and those who experience the tribulation into part of the world."

"How... can we assimilate...? Those monks are also very free..."

Keqing shook her head.

"When I say assimilation, I don't mean becoming part of the rules, but being guided, corrected, and walking on a path that is bound by the laws of nature."

"Don't you find it strange? It's clearly against the will of heaven, but it seems more like it's in accordance with the will of heaven."

"Well, in other words, why do cultivators need to resonate more with the Heavenly Dao as they advance higher?"

"Why are monks afraid of karma?"

"Why……"

Keqing brought up a lot of them.

"Shouldn't a cultivator cultivate with a force that even the Heavenly Dao cannot resist, and then break the Heavenly Dao and break fate?"

"However, the cultivators nowadays cultivate the Way of Heaven and use spiritual energy... Of course, this is also because they have no choice but to do so in Jiuzhou. No matter how you look at it, this path is guided."

"But there are also many immortals who can break through the Nine Provinces..."

"But this doesn't conflict with what I said, right? According to human desires, there are all kinds of unrestrained fantasies. With such powerful forces, how can Jiuzhou have such a stable order? It stands to reason that it is not an exaggeration for the immortal to shake the heavens and the earth when he makes a move, right?"

Seeing that they were stunned, Keqing made a rough judgment.

"Because this is the constraint given to them by the Heavenly Dao. Within the scope of being controlled as much as possible and the scope of stable operation of the rules, it gives cultivators a way to go against the Heavenly Dao."

"After all, even immortals are subject to the three disasters, five diseases, and the five declines of heaven and man."

“This is assimilation…”

Keqing chuckled.

"So, since the thunder tribulation is a means of assimilation, then is the heavenly punishment just a simple punishment?"

"Look what that is..."

Keqing pointed at the Divine Gate.

Chapter 912 Controlled Experiment (5.5k)

"Look at the Divine Gate..."

Keqing waved her hand, and a divine gate only as tall as a person fell in front of her and hung in the air.

The Divine Gate now looks more like a shield than a door. It is full of brilliance, mixed with silver and purple, and emits a dazzling glow.

"Changed color?"

"Getting smaller?"

Little Coal Ball touched his head and murmured.

The Book of Heaven and Earth beside it also had no idea what its master meant.

"Ahem, Master, it's none of my business if this thing gets smaller!"

It defended itself, as if to say, "Don't come to me if you have any problems. It's not my fault."

Keqing glanced at it.

"I'll show you

It's the essence, the changes inside the gate of God, who told you to look at the size."

Keqing clapped her hands and signaled the two of them. However, as soon as her hands were clapped, the touch of her fingertips instantly brought a tingling sensation, and when she looked closely, she actually saw sparks.

Keqing subconsciously pulled her hand back...

Could it be that this thing has been marinated by the heavenly calamity? Why is it still electrified?

Keqing was startled, but her expression remained calm. She rubbed her fingertips imperceptibly to remove the numbness and wash away the lightning on the surface of her fingers.

"Ahem, take a closer look. Don't look at the surface, but the rules contained within."

"Although the Divine Gate is a dead object and cannot speak, we can see the changes just by looking at the surface, right? The energy of the rules within it is surging, emitting the power that belongs only to the way of heaven. This should be obvious to all."

Keqing pointed.

"The original color, size, and even the pattern are different from now... The Shinto aura was so strong before, but what about now? After experiencing the baptism of thunder, although there is still some Shinto aura that is unique to Shinto, do you think that if it experiences the baptism of heavenly tribulation a few more times, will the Shinto aura above become less and less, until it disappears?"

Keqing smiled slightly.

"Do you think, in the end, this thing will still have the aura of the gods? If the aura is gone, does that mean the process of heavenly tribulation... is actually a process of transformation and iteration, which coincides with my previous conjecture."

"If it survived and was not destroyed by the calamity, and is still intact, then I can take it out openly without worrying about the calamity."

At this point, the three little guys present also understood.

"But... after the heavenly punishment, the calamity is over and you won't be struck by lightning anymore? Will understanding the reason help?"

Tiandi Shu was a little confused, and his voice was full of doubt.

However, unexpectedly, Keqing glanced at the dense lightning nailed to the sky, and then looked at it, with meaning in her eyes.

The Book of Heaven and Earth was no fool and quickly understood what its master meant.

"You, you don't want me to be struck by lightning."

Unexpectedly, Keqing nodded.

"I have made it very clear. Since the essence of Heaven's Punishment is renewal and transformation, then why can't we take the initiative to be struck by lightning to transform ourselves?"

"No! Don't let the lightning strike you!"

The Book of Heaven and Earth shuddered and tried to escape. The fear of divine punishment was ingrained in its bones. After what had just happened, the Book of Heaven and Earth was already scared out of its wits. Now that Keqing had let it be struck by lightning, it was even more frightened.

However, Keqing did not give it a chance to resist. With a thought, she froze it in the air.

"It is undeniable that some of the previous situations failed to meet expectations, and the power of the heavenly punishment exceeded expectations. However, if we can control the strength of the heavenly punishment and ensure a situation that is both safe and can ensure some changes to the body, does that mean... you can be free?"

"You can't stay in this space forever, right? One possibility is that you will encounter divine punishment of the same magnitude as outside in the future, and the other is that I will help you control the variables so that you can change within a safe range."

Keqing said earnestly.

Tiandishu was also touched after listening to what the master said. It was undeniable that what the master said was still very touching, but, but that was lightning-struck, and wasn’t he also deceived by the empty promises last time?

What was the result? It was chased and struck by the heavenly calamity, just like the big yellow dog at the end of the village being chased by a big goose behind him. It was so miserable.

"Master... what you said is just a guess... then..."

"Don't worry, I'm just informing you. Isn't there another experimental subject?"

Keqing knew that it was still somewhat fearful, so she pointed at the Divine Gate.

"Isn't this a good material? You two are similar. I will first use the Divine Gate to experiment and confirm the feasibility. Then you can decide."

"You know, you won't be able to get this store again after this... This is the Desolate State, and the Heavenly Punishment outside is already very weak."

Speaking of this, Keqing was a little surprised.

I thought the punishment would disappear soon...

However, looking at the situation outside, it seemed that the Heavenly Dao was resisting them to the death and it did not disappear for a long time. Instead, it was accumulating more and more, ready to strike.

Is it that this divine punishment will continue to accumulate like this, and they have to hide in space for the rest of their lives?

Keqing would definitely not agree to this.
