Chapter 113 Ao Bing: The Way of Heaven is so cruel
With the viciousness of the Way of Heaven, if someone really practices the Zhou Tian Dao Sutra to perfection, they will definitely find ways to kill them and seize their cultivation to repair the starry sky.
Even those with great merit are no exception and will also suffer disaster. But fortunately, the way of heaven will not do anything to those with great merit. At most, it will take away their cultivation and will not harm their lives.
In this way, even if they suffer disaster, those with great merit will have to thank Heaven for not killing them.
It was in anticipation of this scene that Ao Bing chose to use his merits to gather the stars and improve his cultivation.
No matter how vicious the way of heaven is, it will never take back the merits bestowed upon us. If the merit can be recovered, then who will dare to make meritorious deeds in the future?
Those who plan to have great merits and deprive him of his cultivation level without harming his life can also be explained by saying that he should have died in the calamity, but because of his merits and virtues to protect his body, he only survived.
Who is not afraid that the merits can be withdrawn?
You can still take back what you have received, so is this merit really yours?
Once a monk has this idea, the value of his merits will be greatly reduced, and even the monks will no longer have the motivation to plan merits. This has a huge impact. Heaven will never do such a thing of digging one's own grave.
Therefore, it is impossible for heaven to take back merit.
Ao Bing guessed what Tiandao was thinking, and was worried that one day he would be cut off by Tiandao, so he simply turned all his merits into stars.
In this way, no matter how greedy Tiandao is, looking at the stars that his merits have turned into, it is difficult to take away his cultivation.
Not only Tiandao, but also other people, seeing his situation, did not dare to take away his cultivation.
Everything a monk owns, even his cultivation level, may be taken away by others. But I have never heard that merit can be taken away by others.
The merit is yours, it is yours, no one can take it away. Even if you want to give it away, you can't.
If a saint wants to give merit to his disciples, he cannot give it directly. He needs to find ways to plan for it. From this we can see that merit cannot be given to others.
......
Ignoring the shocked looks of everyone, Ao Bing still went his own way, running the Zhoutian Taoist Scripture to refine the merits in his body, mixing them with starlight, and quickly transforming them into stars.
Soon, a star comparable to a fairy was born in the ancestral aperture between Ao Bing's eyebrows, and grew at an extremely fast speed, reaching the first, second, and third heavens...
Because his merits were limited, Ao Bing did not gather many stars at the same time, but concentrated on concentrating on one, trying to raise it to a small star comparable to Taiyi Golden Immortal.
In this way, with an extra piece of Taiyi fighting power, he might be able to reach the long river of time and space.
The merit is transformed by the Xuanhuang Qi, which is the origin of heaven and earth. It can be used to transform cultivation very quickly. In just a few breaths, Ao Bing's condensed stars reached the limit of stars and began to transform into small stars.
Boom!
Suddenly, Ao Bing's body shook violently, and a majestic momentum surged out of his body, dispersing the surrounding clouds and pushing them to both sides.
"Is this a breakthrough?"
"That's not right, Long Zun's realm is still the Golden Immortal, but this momentum is actually that of the Taiyi Golden Immortal."
"It happened. What, why can the Dragon Lord exude the power of Taiyi in the Golden Immortal Realm?"
The surrounding star gods were all shocked when they saw this scene.
The aura exuded by Ao Bing is definitely that of the genuine Taiyi Venus, but his realm seems to be welded to his body, motionless, he is still the Golden Immortal.
This is very abnormal and inconsistent with common sense.
But in fact, this is not abnormal, and it is very common sense. Because it was not Ao Bing who broke through, but the stars in his body.
Promoting from the stars to the small star is like a monk being promoted from the Golden Immortal to the Taiyi Golden Immortal. He can naturally exude the power of Taiyi.
As for Ao Bing, he is still working hard to break through, but the effect is not ideal. With Xiaoxing's blessing, his combat power suddenly increased significantly, and his ability to withstand pressure became even stronger.
So, he resisted the pressure and moved forward for a long distance, but he still couldn't get close to the river of time and space.
not enough!
Power is not enough! Far from enough!
Ao Bing felt that his strength was not enough, so he could not get close to the river of time and space. He needed to become stronger.
Therefore, he refined his merits faster and continued to improve the stars in the Dragon Aperture. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that his head was extremely heavy, as if it was about to explode.
“The ancestral orifice has reached its limit!”
Feeling something in his heart, Ao Bing changed his route and transferred the power transformed from merit to his lower Dantian, where he regrouped the stars.
Due to his realm, his Dragon Orifice can only accommodate stars that are one level higher than his own at most. Otherwise, the power emitted by the stars will burst his Dragon Orifice.
Fortunately, he has opened up enough dragon orifices. If it reaches the limit, then change to the next one.
Soon, another small star formed in Ao Bing's body, causing his momentum to skyrocket again. But his realm still stayed in the Golden Immortal realm.
At this time, the star gods who were protecting him gradually realized what he was doing. While practicing the Zhoutian Dao Sutra and condensing the stars with merit, his strength increased, but his state remained unchanged.
They could see it, but they didn't understand what Ao Bing was doing. It is safe to condense the stars with merit. But the problem is, merit is limited.
The merit a monk can obtain is limited. How long can the stars condensed by merit last? When the merit is exhausted, he will not be able to collect the power of the stars and condense them again.
Unless Ao Bing can obtain immeasurable merit, using merit to practice the Zhoutian Dao Sutra is meaningless except for improving combat power in a short period of time.
It can even be said to be a waste, far less beneficial than improving one’s realm.
This is the gap between people. They feel that merit is difficult to obtain, but Ao Bing’s plan has been completed. As time goes by, his merit will only increase, which is enough for him to practice Zhoutian Dao Jing. Yes.
"Heaven, give me merit!"
After condensing the second small star, Ao Bing was closer to the river of time and space, but the merit he obtained this time was exhausted.
But it doesn’t matter, he still has a lot of merit in the way of heaven. The power of accelerating the repair of the starry sky, the power of teaching people and dragons, the power of strengthening the dragon continent, the power of placing the star refining pot into the soup valley, etc.
These are all great achievements, but it is a pity that the merits brought by these great achievements will take a long time to be reflected.
It has only been tens or hundreds of years, so the merit they can provide to Ao Bing is limited, but together, the amount is not small.
Normally, heaven would only settle these merits for him every thousand years. But if he needs it, he can withdraw it in advance. Ao Bing didn't believe it. After spending so much merit, he still couldn't set foot in the mythical Taiyi realm.
Tiandao is not the unscrupulous boss of later generations. He never defaults on wages. Therefore, as soon as he heard Ao Bing's request, he immediately gave away the accumulated merits.
Not only that, knowing that Ao Bing did not want to be exposed, he was very considerate and sent the merit directly into Ao Bing's body instead of giving it in a big way.
Boom!
After all, the time was too short, only a few decades had passed, so the accumulated merit was not much, which was about half of what I earned this time. After Ao Bing refined it, he got another small star.
At this time, Ao Bing relied on the power of three small stars, that is, the three Taiyi Golden Immortals, to finally overcome many obstacles and arrive near the long river of time and space.
However, this is already his limit.
Obviously the river of time and space is right in front of him, and the distance between the two sides is only one step, but this step is so close to the end of the world. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot cross it and truly step into the river of time and space.
It is as if they are not in the same time and space. They are separated by endless years and naturally cannot step into it.
"It's not just a matter of insufficient strength, but more importantly, my understanding of the way of time and space is not enough to support me in crossing the distance of time and space and reaching the long river of time and space."
Xu is doing it for the sake of merit. , Heavenly Dao gave Ao Bing a revelation, making him realize that if he wanted to turn myth into reality and truly set foot in the realm of myth Taiyi, he still lacked something.
The way of time and space!
If you want to cultivate the mythical Taiyi and walk in the long river of time and space, you must have a deep understanding of the way of time and space.
However, time and space are unpredictable. Although they are everywhere, they are elusive and difficult to understand.
The original intention of Tiandao was to persuade Ao Bing to stop digesting myths and turn them into reality. It is right to break through the Taiyi Golden Immortal as soon as possible and make more contributions to the world.
However, Ao Bing misunderstood what he meant.
In his opinion, Tiandao taking the initiative to tell him this was not only acknowledging that the realm of Shinhwa Taiyi really existed. Still hinting that he should find a way to enter this realm.
Otherwise, why did Heaven tell him the conditions for breaking through the mythical Taiyi? Having stated all the conditions for a breakthrough, this is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.
He is asked to find a way to cultivate the mythical Taiyi, so that the realm that only exists in myths and legends can become a reality and replace the original Taiyi realm.
Ao Bing could probably guess the purpose of Tiandao's doing this. It was nothing more than a disguised reduction in the number of monks.
It is also the realm of Taiyi, but the difficulty of cultivating the mythical Taiyi is at least ten thousand times that of ordinary Taiyi, and it is simply more difficult than cultivating Daluo Jinxian.
In this case, if the realm of Taiyi is replaced by the mythical Taiyi, the consequences can be imagined.
Breaking through the threshold of Taiyi and being raised so much at once, from now on, the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals will definitely decrease sharply.
Just think about it and you will know that in the past, the monks who were expected to become Daluo Jinxian could not even cross the threshold of the mythical Taiyi in the future. They were stuck in the realm of Jinxian perfection and found it difficult to break through.
This is increasing the difficulty of practice, and increasing the difficulty of practice itself is a disguised reduction in the number of monks.
The way of heaven is to block all the monks in the realm of Golden Immortal, so that they cannot cultivate into Taiyi Golden Immortal. It is foreseeable that under such a high difficulty of cultivation, Taiyi Golden Immortal will really become a legend in the future.
The current data is that among a hundred golden immortals, there can be at least several Taiyi golden immortals. But after the emergence of Shinhwa Taiyi, if one Shinhwa Taiyi emerges from one hundred thousand golden immortals, it will be regarded as a mercy from heaven.
As a result, there will be at least 99% fewer Taiyi Golden Immortals in the world, and the number of Daluo Golden Immortals will also be reduced sharply. I don’t know how much resources will be saved.
This is much more efficient than promoting the Great Tribulation and cleaning up the monks. After all, using a catastrophe to cleanse the monks is a one-time thing.
However, reducing the number of monks by increasing the difficulty of practice is sustainable, and the effect will get better and better as time goes by.
"As expected of Tiandao, his methods towards monks are as ruthless as ever."
Ao Bing, who thought he had guessed Tiandao's thoughts, was once again shocked by Tiandao's ruthlessness.
The way of heaven is indeed the way of heaven. From the beginning to the end, the monk's life is not regarded as fate. In other words, He never regarded monks as living beings.
In his view, monks are walking resources that can be mined at any time to repair the world.
With such an idea, he would naturally not regard the monk's life as his fate.
Although Ao Bing guessed Tiandao's thoughts and understood his vicious intentions, he was not prepared to refuse.
It’s not that he is cruel, just like Tiandao, he doesn’t take the monk’s life as his fate, but that he has no choice but to be forced by Tiandao.
The present prehistoric world is different from the past. Driven by the law of heaven, it has entered the most involution era. If you are not strong enough, you will probably die at the hands of others and be cut off by the law of heaven.
So he must become stronger, unparalleledly strong. And cultivating the mythical Taiyi is the way for him to become stronger. As long as he breaks through the mythical Taiyi realm, he will not be afraid even if he faces Daluo Jinxian head-on.
Moreover, since the mythical Taiyi is true, what about the mythical Daluo who has a higher level? Does the legendary realm of the mythical Da Luo, which is immortal, possesses the ability to turn effects into causes, and tamper with time and space, really exist?
Ao Bing originally didn’t think that this realm would exist. But now, Tiandao has admitted that there is the realm of Mythology Taiyi. The realm of Mythical Great Luo may not exist.
Even if it really doesn’t exist, Ao Bing still has to find a way to make it appear. Because for a person like him who is extremely insecure, only by cultivating the realm of the Mythical Great Luo can he feel slightly at ease.
So, no matter what, he had to give it a try to see if he could reach the realm of the Mythical Great Luo. If you want to cultivate the Mythical Great Luo, you must first cultivate the Mythical Taiyi.
As for him, after he cultivates the mythical Taiyi, it will increase the difficulty of cultivation, making it difficult for future generations to cultivate into the Taiyi Golden Immortal.
What does this have to do with him?
The way of heaven can clearly allow two realms to run simultaneously, but one must be eliminated. This is obviously his problem. If the world wants to blame it, it should be blamed on Tiandao, not him.
On the contrary, the world would like to thank him for broadening the path of spiritual practice, making monks stronger and walking further on the road of immortality.
When Ao Bing opens up the mythical Taiyi realm, he will be a pioneer and leader on the path of spiritual practice, a figure like a Taoist ancestor. The world will only respect him and worship him instead of complaining about him.
It doesn’t matter even if someone does complain. There was no need for Ao Bing to do anything, the rest of Shinhwa Taiyi would naturally find a way to shut them up.
Ao Bing is their ancestor. Unless they are willing to give up the mythical Taiyi realm, they cannot sit back and watch the monks complain about Ao Bing.
“If you want to cultivate the mythical Taiyi, you need to understand the way of time and space to a very high level. This is indeed difficult. However, it is not impossible.”
Enlightenment Ao Bing deeply understands the difficulty of time and space, because the way of Xiao Zhoutian involves part of the way of time and space.
