Chapter 383 Benefits and Risks
The Buzhou Cauldron is too special. It can continuously create merits. It may be an exaggeration to say that it is the first artifact in the world, but its effect is definitely greater than that of many innate treasures.
Even a saint would be moved by such an important treasure after seeing it, let alone those with great supernatural powers who dream of becoming enlightened.
Maybe the Buzhou Cauldron is the key to their enlightenment. As long as they master this treasure, they can enter the realm of Hunyuan they dream of.
Thinking of this, after the news about Bu Zhou Ding spreads, many people with great supernatural powers will definitely focus on it, and then try their best to snatch it away from Ao Bing.
Although the saint's reputation is great, it is nothing compared with the opportunity to break through to Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
After all, as long as you set foot in this realm, you can compete with the saints. In this case, it doesn't matter even if you offend the saint, there is no fear of his revenge.
Of course, a saint is a saint after all. It is unrealistic to say that his name has no effect at all. It still has some effect.
At least before breaking through Hunyuan, those with great supernatural powers would not do anything openly even if they wanted to avoid Zhou Ding. At most, they would hide in secret and plot against Ao Bing.
Therefore, after the news about Bu Zhou Ding was leaked, it would certainly bring amazing benefits to Ao Bing, but it would also bring him huge trouble.
He must try his best to protect Buzhou Ding and block all the conspiracies from the dark.
Only in this way can he hold the benefits firmly in his hands and turn them into his own strength step by step, instead of spending half his life busy making wedding dresses for others.
Ao Bing was very clear about the danger he was about to face.
He also knew that these dangers all stemmed from his inclusion of everyone in his plan to repair his ancestral lineage, which caused the news about Bu Zhou Ding to be leaked, thus attracting the prying eyes of many powerful people.
If not, as long as he carefully conceals Zhou Ding's existence and enjoys this opportunity to himself, then there will be no chance of the matter being leaked, and it will not bring danger to him.
But by doing this, although it is safer, the benefits it can bring are limited.
The benefits brought by Buzhou Ding to oneself are completely different from the benefits brought by sharing Buzhou Ding with outsiders. The latter is undoubtedly countless times more than the former.
It is true that doing so will bring greater dangers, but for the greater good, it is completely worth taking some risks.
There is no way to become stronger without taking risks. Opportunities always coexist with risks.
All this is for profit. Therefore, Ao Bingming knew that sharing the benefits of Bu Zhou Ding with outsiders would bring him risks, but he still did so resolutely.
Compared with the risks of doing so, the benefits are undoubtedly greater.
Moreover, can the news about Zhou Ding really be hidden? This is a powerful tool to restore the ancient world, and even Heaven must pay special attention to it.
Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Ao Bing to have exclusive access to Buzhou Ding.
Because he wants to monopolize Buzhou Ding, it means that Buzhou Ding will not be able to hold on for long and will lose the ability to transform Pangu's essence.
Ao Bing can tolerate this, but can Tiandao? After finally seeing the hope of restoring the ancient world, Tiandao would definitely not want the Zhou Ding to be damaged.
Therefore, in order to prolong Buzhou Ding's ability to transform Pangu essence as long as possible, even if Ao Bing tried his best to conceal its existence, Tiandao would secretly leak the news to let more people know.
This is unstoppable. The interests of Tiandao and Ao Bing are inconsistent with this matter.
The purpose of Heavenly Dao is to repair the broken prehistoric world, but Ao Bing's purpose is to find ways to obtain benefits. Repairing the prehistoric world is just a process, not the result.
Therefore, while Ao Bing is still working hard for this result, his and Tiandao's interests are consistent, and Tiandao will support him without leaving any room.
But once the process changes, Tiandao will abandon Ao Bing without hesitation and choose another person who can help him.
The way of heaven is so ruthless.
Ao Bing saw through this and took the initiative to reveal the existence of Bu Zhou Ding.
Since it is destined to be impossible to keep this secret, it is better to take the initiative to let it go than to be passively abandoned by Heaven. In this way, at least it can ensure that God's favor is not lost.
With God's favor around you, even if you are in danger, you can save your life by talking less, so that your body and soul will not be destroyed, and your hope will not be completely lost.
In addition, Ao Bing took the initiative to release the news about Bu Zhou Ding for another purpose, which was to save himself.
Do you really think he asked these powerful men to join the plan to repair the ancient ancestral line for their own good? Wrong, Ao Bing did this all for himself.
First, the more people join, the greater the benefits will be for him. Secondly, the more powerful people involved in this matter, the larger the interest group formed.
At that time, even if someone wants to deal with Ao Bing, these strong men who are tied to him will try their best to help him in order to protect their own interests.
If you don't touch Zhou Ding, you will offend hundreds or even hundreds of quasi-sages. Just thinking about this kind of consequences can scare away many powerful people.
Even if you are still stubborn, the problem is not big. It is not easy to plot against Ao Bing under the protection of hundreds of quasi-sages.
As for whether there will be quasi-sages and people with great supernatural powers who join forces to plot against Ao Bing, the answer is definitely yes, but definitely not many.
It can only be a small part, and most quasi-sages will still side with Ao Bing, because the demands of quasi-sages and those with great supernatural powers are different.
The quasi-sage's pursuit is a breakthrough. Although the merits required are many, the quantity is not exaggerated.
But what a person with great supernatural powers wants is to break through Hunyuan, and the amount of merit required can be said to be beyond imagination.
Such great merits as Nuwa's creation of human beings and the transformation of the earth into the six realms are enough. For example, repairing the broken starry sky, or completely repairing the ancient ancestral lineage.
The Buzhou Cauldron can indeed repair the ancient ancestral lineage, but if you want to rely on this merit to achieve the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, there is a prerequisite, and that is to enjoy this merit alone. No matter how bad it is, you can't share it with too many people.
But if you are just a quasi-sage, you can share this merit with many people.
If a person with great supernatural powers wants to break through to the realm of Hunyuan, he must enjoy this merit alone. But this would conflict with the demands of the quasi-sage.
The price of your breakthrough is to sacrifice our opportunity to break through. Who can agree to this?
With this conflict, it is destined that most quasi-sages cannot cooperate with those with great supernatural powers. They can only cooperate with Ao Bing who is willing to share the benefits with them.
This has nothing to do with friendship, it’s just about profit. Only Ao Bing can give them the greatest benefits, and of course they are willing to cooperate with Ao Bing.
Moreover, no matter who it is, as long as they take control of Buzhou Ding from Ao Bing, they will anger the Tongtian Cult Master to the greatest extent. Therefore, in order to prevent being chased by Tongtian Cult Leader later, the person who took action was determined not to expose his identity. In this case, it is even less possible to share benefits with others.
It is a matter of life and death, and of course the fewer people know about it, the better. Otherwise, if too many people know about it, it will become impossible to hide the matter.
In short, the reason why Ao Bing exposed Zhou Ding was after careful consideration and not a sudden thought. He considered the pros and cons for a long time before making up his mind.
It is better to take the initiative to expose yourself now than to be poked out by Heaven. If he takes the initiative to expose himself, he can also gain a lot of favors and continue to control the matter.
But if Tiandao leaks it, then he will be passive, which is equivalent to being coerced to share the benefits of Bu Zhou Ding.
At that time, he was just a member of an interest group and it was difficult for him to take the lead. This was the most terrible thing.
As we all know, only the leader can get the greatest benefits. If he loses his identity as a leader, Ao Bing will suffer a huge loss, which is similar to being plucked from a peach.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Ao Bing took the initiative to leak the matter about Bu Zhou Ding. This was the only way he could think of to minimize the loss and as a last resort.
……
…………
Boom!
Just when Ao Bing was deep in thought, after devouring a large number of Buzhou Mountain fragments, the power of Buzhou Cauldron began to skyrocket.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
First of all, its shape has become more and more solid from an illusory state, and its size has become larger and larger.
The consequence of this is that its refining power is greatly enhanced.
Visible to the naked eye, the lich battlefield below it began to shrink, and a large number of lich corpses were refined.
First it turned into strands of innate essence, then it was continuously purified and transformed, and finally it was assimilated by the source of Buzhou Mountain and sublimated into Pangu essence similar to the Hongmeng purple energy.
With a bang, more Pangu energy than usual rose up from the Buzhou Cauldron, then fell downwards, flowing along the huge crack in the center of Longzhou, towards the Buzhou Mountain ruins, where the ancestral veins are located.
This essence is the most powerful force in the ancient world, and it is also the best known force for repairing ancestral veins.
"The efficiency of Buzhou Ding in transforming Pangu's essence has increased by more than three times."
"And this is just the beginning. As Buzhou Ding absorbs all the Buzhou Mountain fragments integrated into its body, the conversion efficiency will continue to increase, at least ten times, or even more."
Noticing the changes in Buzhou Ding, Ao Bing reasoned silently.
Although the materials used to refine Buzhou Ding are now equivalent to two Heaven-shaking Seals, this does not mean that the power of Buzhou Ding has doubled compared to before.
Its improvement will only be more, starting from ten times, a hundred times is not impossible.
From a top acquired treasure to an innate treasure, the power is only doubled, which is obviously impossible.
The more fragments of Buzhou Mountain that are integrated into it, the stronger the power displayed by Buzhou Ding, and it can even reproduce the power of Pangu.
This is the reason why its power has increased several times or even dozens of times. It is said that quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
In addition, the efficiency of Buzhou Ding in transforming Pangu essence is not only related to its own material, but also related to other aspects.
That is, the blessing of external forces such as formations, luck, merit, etc. The stronger the Bu Zhou Ding's power, the higher the upper limit, and the more external forces it can bear.
The luck and incense of Longzhou, the Little Zhou Tianxing Formation, the luck of the Netherworld, and everything else Ao Bing had, were fully blessed by Buzhou Ding under his will to maximize its ability to transform Pangu essence. efficiency.
And this was before, but now, with the addition of powerful men, their luck will more or less be blessed by Buzhou Ding, continuing to enhance its power.
After such a calculation, in the end, it's hard to say how many times Bu Zhou Ding's efficiency in transforming Pangu's essence will increase, but it will definitely not be lower.
boom!
Not long after, I saw that the Pangu essence spurting out from the Zhou Cauldron was more than ten times stronger than before.
And even so, this change still has no tendency to stop, but the speed has slowed down a lot.
This means that in the next long period of time, Buzhou Ding's efficiency in transforming Pangu's essence will continue to slowly increase until Buzhou Ding has digested all the Buzhou Mountain fragments.
However, in Ao Bing's opinion, it would be difficult for Bu Zhou Ding to do this.
Because as the effect of Buzhou Cauldron gradually spreads, in the coming time, more and more people will surely come with more fragments of Buzhou Mountain to join in this feast of dividing merits.
In this case, the time it takes Buzhou Ding to refine all the Buzhou Mountain fragments will naturally be greatly extended. Perhaps, this is the trouble of happiness.
In addition, judging from the demand for merit by the powerful people in the ancient times, the number of fragments of Buzhou Mountain they can provide together is so large that even if they cannot reshape Buzhou Mountain, they can restore it to 80-90% of its peak.
In this case, Ao Bing was very suspicious. Maybe he didn't need to do anything. With the help of so many Buzhou Mountain fragments, Buzhou Ding's ability to transform Pangu's essence would slowly solidify and become one of its inherent abilities.
If you think about it, it's not impossible for this to happen. After all, the values that the Buzhou Mountain fragments and the Buzhou Mountain body can exert are completely different.
It will always have the ability to transform Pangu's essence, which Buzhoushan's fragments cannot do, but Buzhoushan at its peak might be able to do it.
"If this is true, it will undoubtedly solve a big problem for me. At the same time, it will also allow me to possess a supreme treasure that is comparable to or even better than the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk."
Ao Bing couldn't help but think a little greedily. If Buzhou Ding's ability to transform Pangu's essence could really exist forever, its value would be great, and it could even surpass the Supreme Treasure of the Open Heaven and be on par with the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk.
The power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is not only reflected in itself, but also related to the responsibilities it shoulders. It is responsible for the reincarnation of all living beings, which invisibly gives it immeasurable merit.
Let's put it this way, every time a person reincarnates, the merits of the Six Paths of Reincarnation will be added a little bit. There are so many creatures in the world, and coupled with the long time, the merits accumulated by the six paths of reincarnation can be imagined.
That's why it is said that it is the most important treasure in the world, and it is better than the three great treasures of opening the sky. But the Buzhou Cauldron, which has the ability to transform Pangu's essence, is still more powerful than it.
Pangu's essence can repair the broken world. This merit is much greater than that of reincarnated sentient beings.
Therefore, if transforming Pangu's essence can really become the inherent ability of Buzhou Cauldron, it is not impossible to say that it is expected to surpass the Six Paths of Reincarnation and become the new most powerful treasure in the prehistoric times.
"Look, it's the ancestral energy!"
At this time, someone looked at the bottom of Buzhou Ding and suddenly made an excited voice.
