Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 145: Incense and Wishes, Heaven Revives

In the ancient times, no one kept track of time. After an unknown amount of time, a sect called the Holy Lotus Sect appeared in a tribe outside the human race's ancestral land.

According to legend, this sect was also founded by a saint, but the missionary was not a saint, but a female fairy who was revered by humans as the White Lotus Saint.

She always appears when the human race needs her most, helping one human tribe after another.

All the human tribes she helped learned from her how to grow high-quality corn and learned advanced methods of cultivation.

However, she never left her name, only saying that she was a preacher of the Holy Lotus Sect.

The human tribes she had helped saw that she often wore a white dress and held a lotus platform made of a sixth-grade white lotus, so they respectfully called her the White Lotus Saint.

Many human tribes made clay statues of the White Lotus Saint in their own tribes and worshiped them every day.

With the sincere offerings from each human being, You Qin Yueyue sensed a strange power.

This kind of power is very similar to merit. As long as you absorb it, you can quickly break through your cultivation level and even help you attain enlightenment.

With the help of incense, Qin Yueyue's cultivation base had broken through to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal in less than ten thousand years, and was only one step away from Daluo.

But recently, Qin Yueyue always felt that something was wrong with her. She would unknowingly do things that were beyond her control.

For example, some humans prayed to kill a certain monster. Qin Yueyue didn't want to pay attention to it at first, because Bai Jing told her that preaching is not just about doing good deeds, the important thing is how to guide others.

But for some reason, Youqin Yueyue always does these things subconsciously.

This situation has occurred more and more frequently recently, and there was even a situation where Qin Yueyue was unable to control her own body.

You Qin Yueyue only felt scared at this time, and flew back to Yingzhou Fairy Island desperately to seek Bai Jing's help.

Coincidentally, when You Qin Yueyue returned to Yingzhou Fairy Island, Bai Jing had just come out of seclusion. After ten thousand years, Bai Jing's 129,600 incarnations were finally condensed.

Then, using the White Lotus of Creation as a base, Bai Jing condensed the 129,600 incarnations into one clone.

Although this clone cannot control the laws and the great principles, he actually possesses the magical powers of a saint.

In terms of combat power, he is at least stronger than Zhunti.

With this clone guarding the primitive world, Bai Jing's original body can practice in the chaos with peace of mind.

What surprised Bai Jing even more was that in just ten thousand years, Qin Yueyue had already gathered a huge amount of incense and vows.

The power of incense and vows is actually very similar to merit. Most of the things that merit can do, the power of incense and vows can also do. And for Bai Jing, the greatest function of the power of incense and vows is that it can be directly used as a source of mana for the incarnation.

Later, when Bai Jing set up a large formation in the sea of blood, established the protagonist of heaven and earth, and revived humanity, the power of incense and vows could also play a very important role.

This is also the main reason why Bai Jing trained You Qin Yueyue and let You Qin Yueyue preach to the human race.

Things like incense and offerings can be said to be the most important things for the gods after they were deified.

At that time, the saints left the ancient world. Whether it was the Heavenly Palace or the Western religion, they all took all living beings as the foundation, condensed incense, and then transported it upward layer by layer through statues of gods.

From the smallest mountain god and land god, to the larger city god, to the righteous god canonized by the heaven, and finally to the Jade Emperor.

Under this system, the Emperor of Heaven can truly gather the luck of all living beings in the prehistoric world and reach an invincible level below that of the saints.

As for the gods on the List of Gods, they hold positions in the Heavenly Court and can naturally obtain the power of incense and vows. The incense can allow them to reshape their bodies and continue to practice. At the very least, their cultivation level will not decline.

There is another characteristic of incense for gods with divine positions, that is, the more living beings who believe in and worship this divine position, the more prosperous the incense will be, and the faster their cultivation will improve.

On the contrary, if there are fewer creatures worshipping and believing in this deity, the incense will naturally weaken, and may even have a huge negative effect, ultimately leading to a decline in cultivation.

In order to gain more worship, the gods naturally have to appear more often to ensure that their believers can live a healthy and happy life.

Under this characteristic, even if the gods are dissatisfied with the results of the Conferred God Ceremony, they have to try their best to show up and help the creatures in the mortal world, so as to ensure that they get enough incense and their cultivation will not decline.

This can be considered as a disguised way of helping the Heavenly Court govern the ancient world.

When the incense is extremely popular, the Heavenly Court can use the power of the incense to canonize an ancient sage on earth as a god. This is the principle of "I think, therefore I am".

To put it simply, this type of deity is an aggregate formed by the thoughts of all living beings condensed through the power of incense and vows.

They are often upright and brave, and are born from the impressions of all living beings, so they will never decay. Once the world encounters a catastrophe, they can condense their true heroic spirits to protect the world.

However, this kind of deification through incense also has its drawbacks. That is, the heroic spirits that condense the wishes of all living beings, are they really themselves?

The answer must be no.

Because "incense is poisonous".

The wishes of all living beings and the gathered incense will gradually erode people's minds, gradually drawing people towards the will of all living beings, turning them into the perfect existence as they imagine, becoming the person in their impression, and living by that.

If he loses his "true self", is he still himself?
Moreover, there are also great disadvantages to becoming a deity through burning incense.

That is, there is as much darkness as there is light in this world.

Historical figures like Bai Jing's previous life, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, condensed the incense and wishes of all living beings and became righteous gods.

But living beings have not only positive emotions, but also negative emotions. The accumulation of negative emotions is also a kind of incense and wish power. What will this kind of incense and wish power condense into? And will it have any effect on the gods who absorb the incense and wish power?

Even Bai Jing found it difficult to explain these.

What Bai Jing can be sure of is that the higher the level of cultivation, the smaller the influence of incense and vows.

When one reaches Daluo, there is almost no impact on oneself. One only absorbs the karma owed by all living beings due to the incense. The same is true for Quasi-Saints.

As for saints, they are not affected by cause and effect, so it doesn't matter how much worship they receive.

However, You Qin Yueyue is just a Taiyi Golden Immortal, so she will naturally be affected by the power of incense and vows.

"Master, I."

"No need to say, I know everything. You regarded the power of incense and vows as merits and used them to practice, which led to such consequences."

"So that power is called the power of incense and vows? Then what should I do, sir?" Youqin Yueyue asked. "There are three ways. The first is to cut off the magic power you cultivate with the power of incense and vows, and the influence of the power of incense and vows on you will naturally cease to exist.

Secondly, you can use the power of incense to go one step further and condense it into Daluo Dao Fruit. By then, the more believers there are in the Holy Lotus Sect, the stronger your cultivation will be. If you can gather the faith of all living beings in the prehistoric world, it is not impossible for you to achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

The third one is also to use the power of incense to go one step further and condense into Daluo Dao Fruit, but when taking a further step, choose the way of beheading corpses, behead the good corpses of incense, the evil corpses of incense, and the corpses of one's own obsession, and finally complete the integration of the three corpses with a huge amount of incense, and can also achieve Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian Dao Fruit.

These three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The first method does not rely on the way of incense to practice at all. You can practice step by step, but the upper limit should be the lowest. The bloodline of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox can only bloom to the seventh level at most, and it is very likely that you can only practice to the Quasi-Sage level.

The second method relies entirely on incense and vows. After this method becomes holy, the foundation is also entirely in incense and vows, which need to be maintained at all times.

The third method is to kill the good corpse and the evil corpse of incense when you are a quasi-saint. In fact, you can already get rid of the influence of incense. The relevant cause and effect are transferred to the good and evil corpses. If you stop here and do not prove the way to become a saint, you will at least have the cultivation of the late quasi-saint, which is much higher than the original upper limit of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox bloodline. If you want to use incense to become a saint later, it will be like the second method. The foundation is all in the incense, which needs to be maintained from time to time."

After listening to Bai Jing's words, Youqin Yueyue pondered for a long time before making up her mind. She said in a firm tone: "Master, I want to take the third path."

"Good, this is the practice method I prepared for you. It can help you reach the peak of quasi-sainthood through the help of incense and sacred methods. You can comprehend it on your own!" After saying that, Bai Jing raised his hand and a jade slip appeared in front of Youqin Yueyue.

Youqin Yueyue took the jade slip and bowed deeply to Bai Jing.

"If you inherit my teachings, you will be my registered disciple. From now on, you can call me teacher!"

Youqin Yueyue's eyes lit up when she heard this and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Disciple greets the teacher."

Bai Jing smiled and nodded.

At this point, You Qin Yueyue has completed her move. Next, it depends on how widely You Qin Yueyue can spread the teachings of the Holy Lotus Sect.

This not only concerns her practice, but also Bai Jing's subsequent plan to revive humanity and purify the sea of blood. If Qin Yueyue can gather the final incense and power, Bai Jing's subsequent work will be much easier.

Afterwards, Bai Jing called Chang Xi, his three disciples, and his mount Qing Lin over and told them that he had accepted You Qin Yue Yue as a registered disciple.

After everyone greeted each other, Bai Jing talked about another matter: "Next, I will go to the Chaos to practice for a period of time. One of my clones will take my place in Yingzhou Fairy Island. You can ask him any questions you have about your practice."

Everyone nodded in unison.

"Also, the current leader of the human race, Xuanyu, is the destined fourth direct disciple. He should come to Yingzhou Fairy Island for help later. When that happens, you, Kong Xuan, will follow him out of the mountain."

"Yes, Master." Kong Xuan agreed without hesitation, and there was even a hint of eagerness in his tone. Now Kong Xuan's cultivation has reached the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, and he is only one step away from the late stage of Daluo Jinxian.

Kong Xuan's cultivation level improved rapidly, but he had been in seclusion on Yingzhou Fairy Island. He had long wanted to go out and see the outside world.

Now that Master has given the order, it's a good opportunity for me to go out and take a look.

Yu Ding felt a little envious when he heard this, and he also wanted to go out for a walk.

Turtle Spirit's expression didn't change at all.

Seeing this, Bai Jing smiled and said, "As long as your cultivation can reach the level of Daluo Jinxian, you can enter and exit Yingzhou Fairy Island freely."

Yu Ding's eyes lit up. His cultivation had reached the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal and he was not far from breaking through to Daluo.

There was still no change in Gui Ling's expression. It might be because her cultivation was only at the middle stage of Golden Immortal, which was still a long way from Daluo Golden Immortal!
After explaining everything, Bai Jing took a step forward and disappeared on the Yingzhou Fairy Island. Everyone dispersed and returned to their caves to practice.

At the same time, in the Zixiao Palace, the Heavenly Dao, which had been dormant since the last time Pangu's shadow opened up the demon world and the earth world, finally revived.

As the Heavenly Dao revived, it took over Hongjun's body. A pair of indifferent eyes opened and scanned the ancient world.

Before the Heavenly Dao fell into deep sleep, it left a backup plan, which was Heavenly Punishment.

The targets of heavenly punishment are all acquired creatures whose cultivation level is below Daluo. As long as their cultivation level is below Daluo, acquired creatures will face heavenly punishment every time they make a major breakthrough in their realm.

If you can successfully overcome the tribulation, you will be rewarded by Heaven, or at the very least, you will be able to quickly consolidate your cultivation. If you cannot overcome it, you will die.

It just so happened that the authentic reincarnation would also restore the memories of the previous life, and the cultivation level of those who escaped from the Book of Life and Death would be determined to be Daluo.

The move of Heaven coincided with that of Earth, and greatly suppressed the number of people with great supernatural powers in the ancient times.

During the nearly 100,000 years that he slept, countless creatures in the ancient world fell from heavenly calamities. Their deaths turned into nutrients that nourished the ancient world and naturally nourished the way of heaven.

It is precisely because of the deaths of these creatures that the Heavenly Dao, which was punished by the Great Dao, has now returned to the realm of Heavenly Dao.

The Eye of Heaven, without any emotion, scanned the ancient world and then slowly closed, and Hongjun regained control of his body.

Hongjun appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was filled with turmoil. Could it be that the Heavenly Dao recovered so quickly?

He thought that it would take at least two or three kalpas for Tiandao to recover his cultivation and revive.
Now, in just a hundred thousand years, the Heavenly Dao has been restored, which obviously disrupted some of Hongjun's arrangements.

Just as Hongjun was hesitating whether to do something, the Heavenly Dao took over his body again.

Tiandao Hongjun stood up from the cushion, flicked the whisk in his hand, and disappeared from Zixiao Palace.

The next second, the figure of Tiandao Hongjun appeared in the underworld.

He glanced indifferently towards the bottom of the underworld. He could clearly sense that Hou Tu was there.

With the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the underground channel is also growing little by little. If He and Hou Tu can complete the merger, and Hou Tu goes all out, he will be able to display the same peak cultivation of a saint of the ninth heaven as Hongjun's original body.

If the Twelve Ancestral Witches set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, they would be a threat to Him even without the Axe of Creation.

The Heavenly Dao was very unhappy about this, but there was nothing he could do. If he tried to stop Hou Tu from merging with the Dao, the Dao would not let him go.

The rest of the ancestor witches, except Dijiang and Rushou, are no longer in the underworld. There is no trace of them in the entire prehistoric world. They must have gone into chaos.

Di Jiang is the person supporting the earth at this time. Killing him will cause the earth to collapse and the underground will be unstable. The Great Dao will certainly punish him. As for Rushou, this guy is already the master of one of the six paths of reincarnation. His status is equivalent to that of a saint. He can be resurrected infinitely and cannot be killed.

Thinking of this, Tiandao Hongjun's face became extremely ugly. No wonder the ancestor witch only left these two. In the end, Tiandao Hongjun did not do anything. He left the underworld and turned to the sky above Wuzhuang Temple.
