Chapter 369 Before Returning to Ruins
Ao Bing was very curious about this question because it was very important. Although Ancestral Dragon and Xuanwu are powerful, and their strength is comparable to that of saints, what's the use if they can't come out.
Therefore, the strong men in the ancient times were not actually afraid of them. When there is no conflict of interests, considering that they are holy beasts, they will be given some face.
But once it comes to a struggle for interests, the holy beast that can't get out of trouble will not be taken seriously by them at all.
This is also the reason why the three Xiantian clans are increasingly declining. What's the difference between the strongest being trapped and unable to show up, and not being there?
But once they can get out of the seal, even if they are just one incarnation, they can still bring great deterrence to the other strong men, thereby increasing the influence of the three tribes.
Of course, the most important thing is that if the holy beast can manifest an incarnation through the incense sacred way and walk between heaven and earth, then Ao Bing will undoubtedly be more confident.
After all, prehistoric times are a place that depends on strength, but improving strength takes time. In a short period of time, Ao Bing will not be able to achieve a big improvement in strength.
So at this time, he could only place his hope on external forces, that is, to find more backers for himself. The more backers he has, the more confident he will be when communicating with powerful people.
Like Xihe, just the leader of Tongtian Cult may not be able to scare her, but what about the Ancestral Dragon, the Xuanwu Holy Beast, or even other Holy Beasts?
At this time, she had to consider whether the consequences of killing Ao Bing were something she could bear.
"The sacred way of incense is indeed mysterious. We have tried it before. Relying on the power of incense can indeed help us condense our incarnations."
"However, the seal of Heavenly Dao is too strong. Even if the incarnation is condensed, the power of the original body cannot be projected into it."
"Without the blessing of the true body, the incarnation that only relies on the condensed power of incense and aspiration has limited strength, but with the cultivation of a quasi-sage, it is really difficult to use."
The Xuanwu Holy Beast replied that he knew the Incense Divine Way, and as soon as it appeared in this world, he thought of a way to condense the incarnation and walk in the world on his behalf.
But it's a pity that although his idea is correct, the incarnation strength he condensed is not good, and he is only a quasi-sage.
What is the use of quasi-sage?
With their status, if they just walk, the quasi-sage incarnation is definitely enough. It can be used to frighten enemies, and has no other use than making people laugh.
"As long as you can condense the avatar, as for improving your strength, it's actually very simple."
"I can report to the Heavenly Court and ask the Jade Emperor to canonize the Five Elements Sacred Beasts as the Five Elders of the Five Directions, or the Emperor of the Five Directions, so as to further strengthen heaven and earth with the power of the Holy Beasts of the Five Directions."
"This is a meritorious act that is beneficial to heaven and earth. The Jade Emperor will not refuse it, and the law of heaven will also agree."
"At that time, the seal set by Heaven will be torn open, allowing you, ancestors, to project your power."
"At this time, if you use the incarnation of incense to carry the authority of heaven and earth, as well as the power projected by the deity, your strength will be greatly improved, reaching the level of quasi-sage perfection and even great supernatural powers."
"Of course, there are gains and losses. This can certainly improve your strength, but it also takes on some more responsibilities. While suppressing the four poles of the world, you must also shoulder the task of maintaining order in the five parties."
"But no matter what, the five directions are outside the four poles and in the heaven and earth. If you are in charge of the five directions, as long as you do not neglect your duties, the laws of heaven will not restrict the actions of the ancestors."
Ao Bing expressed his thoughts. This was to allow the incarnation of the Five Elements Sacred Beast to serve in heaven and continue to contribute to heaven and earth.
In this way, Heaven will be open to them, allowing them to transfer their power to the outside world and reappear in the form of incarnations.
It sounds good, but it's actually quite miserable. The real body wants to suppress the earth and the four poles and cannot be reborn.
It is not easy to condense an avatar that can walk around, but it still has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining the order of the five directions in order to receive the blessing of the original body and improve its strength.
This is forcing them to work!
"It sounds feasible, but I have to discuss it with other fellow Taoists before I can give you an answer."
The Xuanwu Holy Beast thought for a while and replied.
He himself approves of this plan. Thinking about the mistakes they made back then, it would be nice to have freedom, so what if they work for Tiandao? This is called atonement!
However, when it comes to the five holy beasts, it is useless for him to agree alone. All the holy beasts must agree. Therefore, how to reply to Ao Bing, he had to ask the opinions of the other four holy beasts.
However, he personally felt that the other holy beasts would not reject Ao Bing's proposal. Even if it is for the sake of their clan members, they cannot refuse.
The Shui Tribe is okay, Zhulong is still in charge, so no matter how miserable it is, it won't be that bad. But if birds and beasts are of the same lineage, it will be miserable.
The two tribes without strong men suffered disaster after the rise of the demon tribe. The clansmen will either merge into the demon clan or be hunted down by them.
The two clans that used to dominate the world fell apart under the annexation of the demon clan.
So much so that today, only two big cats and three small cats are left in the Phoenix clan, hiding in the immortal volcano in the south and not daring to show their faces. The Qilin clan seems to have disappeared, and its members are almost nowhere to be found.
Only the Dragon Clan continues to stay in the primitive world, but the situation is not very good. Three seas have been lost in the four seas, and only the basic territory of the East China Sea is left.
Even in the East China Sea, the Dragon Clan only has control over the sea, but not the sea.
The three Xiantian clans, the former overlords of heaven and earth, have fallen to this point. How can the Five Elements Sacred Beast, the ancestor of the three clans, not be anxious? Especially the Phoenix and Qilin clans are about to be exterminated. The Five Elements Sacred Beast can be said to be seen in the eyes and anxious in the heart. If there is an opportunity to go out, of course I won't let it go.
"I'll ask the old man for you. If they all agree, you can go to heaven. Now, we five old guys will accept your favor."
Xuanwu Holy Beast smiled and said that he could naturally see Ao Bing's plan, but he liked this kind of calculation. If possible, he even hoped that such calculations could be repeated several times.
Calculations of mutual benefit will not make people disgusted. Calculations that only consider oneself and not the gains and losses of others will make people disgusted.
"The ancestors are exaggerating. This is what juniors should do."
It's not that Ao Bing is modest, it's hard to say about the other three holy beasts, but Zulong Xuanwu is one with him. Planning for them is planning for himself, so of course he must do his best.
"Okay, our business should be finished. Now let's talk about your business. That is, the purpose of your trip, is it to come to the place where Emperor Xi fell?"
After talking about other things, Xuanwu Holy Beast returned the topic to the main topic.
"Yes, I am indeed here for the place where Emperor Xi fell. Regarding this matter, does the ancestor have anything to advise me?"
As soon as Ao Bing heard this, he knew that the Xuanwu Holy Beast was going to give him some advice, so he quickly asked seriously.
"Huang Xi practiced the Tao of Two Etiquette and Four Symbols in his early years. After his reincarnation, he had a deeper understanding of the Tao. Only then did he realize the Tao of the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, and by this he surpassed his previous life."

"I have nothing to advise you on this point. But in his early years when he understood the way of the Four Symbols, Emperor Xi asked me about it and formed a good relationship with me."
"Now, I will give you this good fortune, maybe it will save you some hardships when Emperor Xi falls."
As he spoke, the Xuanwu Holy Beast pointed at Ao Bing's eyebrows, leaving a Zhiyang mark on it.
Fuxi and Nuwa are the first rays of yang energy and yin energy between heaven and earth. Therefore, the innate marks of the two of them are the most yang mark and the most yin mark.
It's just that the two people's understanding is against the heavens. In the process of practice, they have broken the innate restrictions and made the yang pole generate yin and the yin pole generate yang.
Then, Nuwa clearly understood the wonder of creation from this process. Fuxi further deduced this process, combined it with all things in the world, and summed up the innate Bagua.
"Thank you, ancestor!"
Returning to God, Ao Bing quickly bowed to him. Emperor Xi even left his innate mark, which shows that the guidance he received back then was not light.
Now, Xuanwu Holy Beast has transferred this kindness to Ao Bing, which is enough to ensure that he will not encounter danger during this trip to the land where Emperor Xi fell, and he will not return empty-handed.
"There is no need to say thank you. This kindness is of no use if I keep it in my hands. I might as well use it to make you successful."
Xuanwu Holy Beast said without hesitation, Ao Bing is the only one of the current Shui Tribe who can be made. If we don't leave this good destiny to him, how can we still take it into the coffin?
"You can leave now. I have to return to the North Pole to discuss what you said first with the other holy beasts."
Before Ao Bing could say anything else, the Xuanwu Holy Beast suddenly disappeared.
"Send it to the ancestor!"
After bowing in the direction where the Xuanwu Holy Beast left, Ao Bing set off for Guixu.
At this time, he was not far from Guixu. Not long after flying, he saw a black ocean appearing in front of him. Above the ocean, heavy black snow fell, exuding a desperate atmosphere.
The sea of apocalypse, the snow of despair!
If heaven and earth come to an end, the world will enter the Age of Ending Dharma, and at the same time, black snowflakes will fall, bringing despair to all living beings.
This black snow is formed by the despair generated after the world is shattered. It not only has the ability to break laws, but also can wipe out all vitality.
Its appearance means boundless despair, which is more terrifying than the Sea of Dharma End.
In other words, it is the falling snow of despair that causes the ocean below to turn into a sea of apocalypse.
"Unfortunately, unless it is the ultimate power of the universe that can destroy everything deep in the ruins, it is just the power of the end of the law and can do nothing to me."
Looking at the heavy black snow falling continuously in front of him and the dark and deep sea of Apocalypse, Ao Bing showed no fear in his eyes and walked straight in without any defense.
The Age of Dharma Ending is certainly scary, but it is not effective for everyone. Only those monks who are still relying on heaven and earth will be afraid of the Age of Ending Dharma.
And a self-sufficient monk like Ao Bing will not be affected in any way even if he is in the Age of Ending Dharma.
Black snowflakes fell and fell on Ao Bing's body. Before it could have any effect, he saw the chaotic energy rising in his body, directly refining it and turning it into his own nutrients.
