Chapter 235 The Battle for the Future: Incense
Boom!
In the depths of the void, nine kinds of innate vitality swept across, spurted out from the mouths of the nine heads, formed into one force, and surged forward mightily.
The Dragon City that came from the human world is located under the dragon's head. It is submerged by the long river of vitality transformed from the nine vitalities. It is constantly being tempered by it and slowly transforming.
Ao Bing took one step forward, crossed the layers of void, and came to the sky above Dragon City, silently feeling its changes.
"The land of creation!"
After a while, Ao Bing said happily.
At this moment, with the blessing of the nine dragon veins, Dragon City can already be regarded as a place of good fortune. Inside, the nine vital energies flow, and the energy of creation circulates, interpreting all kinds of mysteries.
Daluo Jinxian can get a lot of benefits by practicing here, which can increase the probability of breaking through to the quasi-sage. The monks who are under the Daluo Golden Immortal will get even greater benefits when they come here, and everyone can hope to reach the realm of Daluo.
Moreover, with the protection of Dragon City, it can be isolated from the influence of heaven. In other words, when monks come here to practice, they don't have to worry about accidentally being inspired by the way of heaven and integrating into it during their enlightenment process.
"Good place!"
The more he investigated, the more Ao Bing felt how extraordinary Longcheng was. And this is just the beginning. As time goes by, under the tempering of the nine-headed dragon veins, Dragon City will only become stronger and stronger.
When it is completed in the future and transforms from a sacred city into a dragon-veined artifact, it is impossible to say that it will become a Da Luo training base. The chances of cultivating monks here to become Da Luo Jinxian are dozens to hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary people.
"Living in Longcheng, if you take the genius of a region and teach them, it won't take long to cultivate a large group of masters. The region lord has this condition. As long as he is not a waste, even if he is not as good as the local power for a while, he will be able to train him sooner or later. Convinced."
Ao Bing nodded with satisfaction. He felt that as long as he used the Dragon Territory as a template when setting up other major regions, his path to centralization would never fail.
In his view, the domain lords were the county magistrates sent to various places by later emperors, and the local spiritual sects were the local landlords, squires, and wealthy families.
What the county magistrate and the local powerful are competing for is land and population. To put it bluntly, it is about competing for resources. The domain lords and the cultivation sects are competing for the same thing.
The struggle for authority is the struggle for resources.
In this regard, the Territory Lord has an advantage. Because he controls the dragon veins, the Territory Lord can firmly control the spiritual energy in the domain. That is to say, all resources in the domain are subject to the control of the domain owner.
A domain master who can control the resources in the domain can theoretically control all the forces in the domain easily.
After all, as long as the supply of resources is reduced, or more resources are provided to hostile forces, the forces that are dissatisfied with them can be quietly weakened, making it more difficult for them to succeed.
Moreover, in order to obtain more resources, the forces in the region have to curry favor with the domain lord, not only obeying his orders, but also not confronting him unless necessary.
In this case, local forces should not pose a threat to the domain master.
Theoretically, this is true.
But in reality, things have changed due to the emergence of Incense Shinto. The power of incense and incense can replace spiritual energy, and the effect is even better.
This resulted in a substitute for spiritual energy, and the monks no longer relied on it as before, and they could not survive without it.
As a result, the Territory Lord, who could have completely controlled the local forces, would no longer be as deterrent to them as before.
As long as the population under control is large enough, what if you don’t give the domain lord face? Withholding resources or even cutting off spiritual energy will not scare local forces.
Because of the power of incense and aspiration, it can completely replace these.
Can be called acquired merits and humane merits. The role of incense and vows is already obvious and almost omnipotent. Except that it cannot directly improve the realm, everything else is the same as Xuanhuang merit.
With incense and wish power, who cares about spiritual energy and resources. Or simply put, incense is the greatest resource, which can not only improve strength, but can also be used to cultivate elixirs.
Therefore, the battle between the domain owners and the local sects is no longer a battle over resources and aura, but a battle over population. If you want to get more incense and will power, you must have a large enough population.
Whoever controls the largest population will take the initiative. Even more, if it can gain the support of all the people in the domain, it can definitely compete with the domain lord.
It has to be said that the thing is so ironic. The path of centralization set by Ao Bing is to control the aura that the monks rely on for survival, thus forcing the monks to surrender. There is no problem in the first place.
But because he discovered the effect of incense, he ended up cutting a big hole in his perfect plan, greatly reducing its effectiveness.
Yes, it's just heavily discounted, not completely useless.
Even if the effect of incense and aspiration is better than that of spiritual energy, it still cannot completely replace spiritual energy. The power of incense and vows is destined to be controlled only by a few people, and most monks still have to rely on spiritual energy to survive.
Therefore, even if it obtains the support of the entire population, the local sect can only compete with the domain lord who controls the dragon vein, instead of defeating or driving it away.
Ao Bing asked Daji to look back, and what he saw was this scene. When the effect of the incense's aspiration gradually manifested itself, Daji knew whether mortals were of any use.
Not just useful, but very useful. After the establishment of Ten Thousand Domains in the future, the battle between domain owners and local forces will mainly revolve around mortals, that is, fighting for faith!
……
…………
After observing the situation of Dragon City for a while, and seeing that under the tempering of vitality, it not only had no problems, but was getting better and better, Ao Bing completely gave up. Heart comes. Immediately, he stepped to the dragon head in the center of the nine dragon veins, stood on its forehead, turned around and looked towards the world.
Looking along his gaze, one could see the mighty vitality, like a great river, surging all the way through the layers of void and pouring into the world.
However, the human world is different from the void. In the void world, the dragon domain has already taken shape, and there are domain walls blocking it so that the spiritual energy will no longer leak out.
But there is no domain wall in the present world. After the turbulent energy flowed into the present world, although most of it stayed in Yousu, a small part still leaked to other areas.
In Ao Bing's opinion, this is a bit of a waste. Although the prehistoric world is one, Su is his, and other places are not.
Therefore, the innate vitality released by the nine-headed dragon veins he worked so hard to create can only stay in Yousu, and not anywhere else.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he be working for an outsider?
"Dragon Domain, open!"
Thinking like this, Ao Bing made a thought and controlled the nine dragon veins to make them flow into the vitality of the world. They no longer poured into the ground, but circulated in mid-air, forming A super large vortex of vitality.
This whirlpool is so huge that it extends thousands of miles across. It encompasses the entire country of Yousu and is almost one-tenth the size of Jizhou.
The vitality rotates on the edge of the vortex, not destroying anything around it, but crazily stirring the nearby void, piling them together, causing them to slowly turn into reality, turning into a thin layer of , colorless and transparent crystals.
Domain wall!
These colorless and transparent crystals are the domain walls. They cover the entire Yousu, making the spiritual energy here isolated from the outside world and no longer connected.
At the same time, the domain wall also has a strong sense of perception. From the moment the domain wall is formed, anyone passing by the domain wall, whether he is entering or leaving, will remain in the domain wall. Leave traces and be known to the domain owner as soon as possible.
The role of the domain wall is not only to isolate spiritual energy, but also to let the domain owner know who has entered and left the domain.
That is to say, the domain wall is newly born and has limited power, so it can only isolate the spiritual energy. In the future, as the dragon domain grows, the domain wall will become thicker and thicker, and it will even become like a city wall. No one can come and go except the domain gate.
The domain is actually a prehistoric city. The domain wall is the city wall. The domain gate is the city gate.
This will be the pattern of the prehistoric future. With the establishment of the Ten Thousand Domains, domains will be isolated by domain walls and can travel through domain gates.
The blank area between domains is a barbaric land, where spiritual energy is lacking and Taoism is not apparent. It is a land of the end of the law and even a place of lawlessness.
Those criminals who made big mistakes, as well as the resistance forces, will be exiled here, and as time goes by, they will die away bit by bit.
In the land of the end of Dharma, even if Daluo Jinxian comes, his cultivation will slowly fade away. The quasi-sage is not afraid, but it is just that he will not be transformed into cultivation. From now on, his strength will not be improved at all.
Only those with great supernatural powers can be completely immune to the influence of the Age of Ending Dharma.
"What is this?"
The movement caused by the formation of the domain wall was so loud that it could not be concealed at all. Therefore, all the strong men in Jizhou were alarmed and looked towards this place one after another.
But the next moment, the domain wall emitted a crystal luster, isolating all their eyes.
Of course, now that the domain wall is new, its power is limited. If the strong men in Jizhou really want to use their magical powers, they can easily penetrate the isolation of the domain wall.
But, they dare not!
The moment they had this thought, a terrifying power rose deep in the void.
The nine dragon heads slowly raised up, and eighteen gazes scanned the four directions, frightening all the powerful men in Jizhou to tremble and dare not move.
There is no quasi-sage in Jizhou, so the nine-headed dragon vein that is comparable to a half-step quasi-sage is invincible in Jizhou. Under its gaze, who dares to resist?
"Su Long Vein was created for me. Now I have set up a restriction to isolate the spiritual energy. Do you have any opinions?"
While everyone was shocked, Ao Bing's voice slowly sounded, and suddenly, The pressure on them was relieved.
"No objection, this is the right thing to do."
After coming back to their senses, everyone said one after another. Not to mention that this is what it should be, but the terrifying power in the depths of the void makes it impossible for them to say anything against it.
Seeing that the Jizhou strong men had no objection, Ao Bing withdrew his gaze from them and turned to Yousu.
No, it cannot be called Yousu now, it should be called Dragon Territory.
The dragon domain is complete!
But it still didn't meet Ao Bing's requirements, because the spiritual energy in the dragon realm was too rich, and it was all top-notch innate vitality.
Even if this environment is not as good as the heaven, it is not far behind. There is no problem at all for the immortals to practice here. And this was exactly what Ao Bing didn't expect to see.
