Chapter 399: The Origin of the So-Called Merit

Volume 4, Chapter 399, The So-Called Origin of Merit

(Today, Gao V can actually get a free monthly pass.) So he happily took one, and then the horse voted for himself. Hehe, now I have finally achieved a breakthrough of zero, so let's celebrate. ）......

Since Fairy Han'e got the immortal perception passed on to her by You Longzi more than ten years ago, she has been studying hard all these years, often retreating and contemplating, and she has really benefited a lot, and the deeper her path is, the deeper she is, the more she may lead to the forty-nine heavenly tribulation and become an immortal at any time. It's just that she feels that her mana savings are not enough, and her comprehension of the Dao has not yet reached the limit of a cultivator in the Returning to the Void Period, and her Dao heart is not thorough enough, so she is ready to accumulate for a while and make all the preparations before crossing the tribulation in one fell swoop.

The way of cultivating the truth is the way against the sky, especially the tribulation, even if it is a powerful cultivator, he does not dare to say that it can be foolproof. Because the calamity is divided into two parts, one is the heavenly tribulation from the Heavenly Dao, most of which are thunder tribulations, and the other is the inner demon tribulation formed by the mysterious and unpredictable heavenly demon who is free from the heavenly demon realm and seduces the inner demon of the cultivator. One is outside. First, the internal and external cultivators are faced with the double test of Dao heart and cultivation, so in the history of the cultivators, who have been able to successfully cross the tribulation and become immortals, there are often not ten of them, which also leads to many magic weapons and elixirs that are conducive to the tribulation, all of which are extremely precious, and often have no price.

Fairy Han'e was lucky enough to get the immortal-level perception that You Longzi gave her, and after years of cultivation, the certainty of crossing the tribulation was much greater, but it was only from two percent to fifty percent, which was still not enough insurance. This time, in addition to the fact that it is only too inflammatory, the main thing is to kill demons, hone the Dao heart, and accumulate external merits.

Don't think that merit can only be obtained by doing good deeds, and the so-called heavenly way is the most public, and the most righteous is ruthless. The ancient sage Zeng Yun: Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. Broadly speaking, everything in the world has its own laws of operation, and the aggregate of these laws is the Heavenly Dao, which runs through the heavens, the world, the past and the future. And from a small point of view, each world has its own laws, that is, small heavenly daos. And all the merits. It didn't appear out of thin air, but was given by heaven.

If it is an ordinary cultivator who has not yet reached the stage of returning to the void, most of them only think that they can only gain merit by doing good deeds. However, in the eyes of those cultivators who have become Returning to Void Masters and began to spy on and study the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao and the path of rules, the source of public virtue is far from being so simple. It feels as if there is a law in the dark that follows a certain principle to deliver merit to those who are eligible. This principle is very complex, and it involves doing good deeds, but not just doing good deeds, and some actions that are evil deeds from a certain point of view can also gain merit. Therefore, all the Returning Void Masters can only come to one conclusion in their research, and they can gain merit by doing good deeds, but the definition of good deeds is much more complicated. In addition to saving the dead, helping the wounded, helping the needy, and helping the needy, there is also the need to stop killing and countering violence with violence! To put it simply, punishing evil means promoting good!

At least until you get a Celestial-level Insight. Fairy Han'e's point of view is like this, and there won't be much difference compared to other Returning Void Grandmasters. But after gaining the immortal-level insight, her vision was much broader. Being able to become a Heavenly Immortal means that you have a considerable in-depth understanding of the rules, and your understanding of the Heavenly Dao has also reached a higher level. And the immortals naturally have a clearer understanding of the way to obtain merit.

In You Longzi's view, there is only one reason why the Heavenly Dao bestows merit, and that is to conform to the Heavenly Dao! In other words, it is in line with the laws of the good operation of the Heavenly Dao.

Cultivators who are familiar with classical texts know that the reason why there is a catastrophe between heaven and earth, although on the surface it is caused by man, but in the end, it will lead to turmoil in heaven and earth, and it will affect a wide range. For example, the dragon and phoenix tribulation in ancient times, the lich tribulation, and the god tribulation all caused great impact and damage to the universe every time.

The first tribulation of the dragon and phoenix is too far away and there is no record; the inside story of the Lich Tribulation is too deep, and there are also only a few words left, but I also know that the explosion of the Tribulation has completely shattered the Great 6 of the Great Desolation, and the primeval stars have also been shattered and evolved into today's Earth Immortal Realm and Infinite Stars;

And the reason why it will lead to the deliberate provocation of people with intentions, the most important thing is that the actions of the peak power group of the universe at that time violated the good development of the Heavenly Dao and the development law of the Great Dao of the Universe, making the law out of balance, and as soon as the law is out of balance, the countless rules attached to the law will naturally be destroyed, resulting in disorder, and cannot function well. And all the worlds. Even the foundations of the entire universe have evolved from the interweaving and combination of countless rules. The disorder and destruction of rules directly affect the stability of the universe and all worlds. If it continues in this way, it will only bring more and more destruction and chaos in the end, and finally lead those peak power groups and the universe to destroy together.

If we think of the universe as a human being, then the factors that destroy the good functioning of the Heavenly Dao are viruses and wounds, and if left unchecked, people will become sick, disabled, and even die. And the Heavenly Dao can be regarded as the consciousness of the universe, and it naturally does not want such a thing to happen, so it will find a way to "cure" itself. However, the Heavenly Way does nothing, and it has no specific will, it is only a kind of general consciousness, that is, although it can feel that something is wrong with itself, it cannot be specific to the subtle aspects, and it has no subjective consciousness, so it cannot really "treat" itself like a human being. However, as the will of the entire universe, the Heavenly Dao will not sit still. It will instinctively reward and support those things that help it "heal" and allow it to "grow healthily" in order to produce more things that are good for itself.

And this reward is merit and luck!

Merit and luck can be mixed together in a certain way, and merit will naturally lead to luck. And if you have luck, it is very easy to gain merit. However, qi luck is intangible and substantial, and can only be sensed, but cannot play a specific role, but it can maximize the safety of those who have qi luck, and will never completely fall before the qi luck is exhausted, while merit can be manifested and used to sacrifice magic weapons, practice exercises, and refine supernatural powers, which have many wonderful uses.

After all, it is a gift from heaven, which is naturally extraordinary. The cultivators are all inherited, and the Dao system of Qi practitioners is the group of people who have the most systematic and in-depth understanding of the Heavenly Dao and nature, so they naturally attach more importance to these.

Luck is intangible and insubstantial. Light yì can't be sensed, and it doesn't have the immediate benefits of merit, so the cultivation realm has been developed, and most cultivators only know merit and don't know luck. Generally speaking, those bad things in the general sense, such as killing innocents, destroying nature, disrupting order, etc., are not in line with the good development of the Heavenly Dao, so after stopping these bad deeds, the Heavenly Dao will also give merit as a reward. And the good deeds of the universal sense, such as protecting the good, preserving nature, promoting the good development of things, and returning chaos to order, are also good exhibitions that are in line with the Heavenly Dao, so the Heavenly Dao will also give merit as a reward.

And the cultivators who have not become immortals do not understand the deep-seated truth, and those immortals who have become immortals will not deliberately promote their own views, because most of them are busy with retreat and cultivation and sect affairs, and they do not have time to pay attention to these "trivial matters". Therefore, under the inheritance from generation to generation, "doing good deeds will gain merit" has actually become common knowledge in the cultivation world. Even later, merit evolved into a proper noun, "good deeds", which refers specifically to the merits obtained by doing good deeds.

Things under the Heavenly Dao system make actions that are conducive to the good development of the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao gives rewards, which in turn encourages the development of these actions and further promotes the Heavenly Dao Exhibition, which can form a virtuous circle to ensure that the Heavenly Dao can be developed more well, and avoid the arrival of the immeasurable tribulation, or even the immeasurable tribulation. Although the Heavenly Dao has never made any active propaganda and demonstration, it has passed on this concept to all living beings and even beings in the universe who have deeply explored the Heavenly Dao through a very effective feedback that has been running for billions of years. The so-called big sound is like this, and the elephant is invisible.

Of course, You Longzi is just a heavenly immortal after all. He can only infer these actions of the Heavenly Dao according to the current understanding of Cheng Dù, which is mixed with a lot of his own speculation and subjective assumptions, and it cannot be said that it is very accurate, and the specific operation of the Heavenly Dao will definitely be much more profound and mysterious than his understanding. After all, the Heavenly Dao is vast, even a saint doesn't dare to say that he can fully understand him, how can a little immortal be arrogant?......

However, after all, the true Heavenly Dao is a collection of cosmic great consciousnesses, and when they are scattered to various worlds, there are different laws in different worlds. This is the case with the so-called adaptation to local conditions. For example, the trend of the Heavenly Dao in the Divine Realm is order and sacredness, while the Demon Realm is chaos and evil; as for the human world, because it is a fragment of the Great 6 Ancient Flood and Desolation, it has inherited the ancient law of nature, non-action, and inclusiveness, and does not particularly exclude certain things, as long as it can help the operation of the Heavenly Dao in this world, all of them can be absorbed. However, once there is an obstacle or damage to the operation of the Heavenly Dao in this world, the approval of the Heavenly Dao will be lost, and merit will be gained. As small as the Heavenly Dao Dao Dao of one world, the Heavenly Dao of the entire universe operates in this way.

Of course, there are immeasurable heavenly worlds in the universe, and each world has its own unique will and laws, and it is not the whole of the cosmic heavenly dao, only when the laws in all the worlds are combined can it be regarded as the great cosmic heavenly dao. There is also competition between these worlds, but this competition is more subtle, and the form is different, whether it is a chemical or an idea, or it can be a war of force. A world law that can become the victor of the wars of all worlds is naturally more excellent, and it is easier to occupy the mainstream in the Great Dao of the Universe, which is also in line with the law of the Great Dao.

Competition is an instinct, even if there is only a pan-conscious will of the world, there is also this instinct, but because the "lifespan" of the world is too long and there is no subjective consciousness, it can only expand its own influence and participate in this pan-universe competition by influencing the creatures in the world. At that time, the great god of Pangu opened the heavens and the earth, and the Great 6 of the Great Desolation appeared first, naturally occupying most of the luck of the entire universe, so that the will and laws of the world of the Great 6 of the Great Flood became the mainstream of the Heavenly Dao of the universe, and the heavenly worlds such as the God Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Buddha Realm that appeared later became the center of the universe.

However, with the explosion of several heaven and earth tribulations and cosmic tribulations, the Great 6 was shattered and split into a relatively scattered oriental system, and the luck of the heavenly worlds continued to be lost, which made the heavenly worlds such as the god realm and the Buddha realm rise and disperse the cosmic qi luck, and also expand its influence to the universe. It's just that after all, there are still four saints in the East, the Three Qing Saints and the Nuwa Niangniang, so they can still suppress the Eastern Heavenly World and prevent it from completely declining. However, there are also contradictions between the four saints, and they cannot work together, so the internal strife is not stopped, and luck is still being lost.

Until the battle of the gods tens of thousands of years ago, the four saints completely turned their faces, and the two saints of the West intervened to pull the bias and guide the sect to intercept the sect and defeat the Tongtian sect, and in a fit of anger, he wanted to destroy the heavens and the earth, retrain the earth, water, wind and fire, and fight with all the saints to lose both. Although it was later stopped by Hongjun Daozu and did not cause a catastrophe, it still shattered the human world that was originally the size of a thousand worlds and became what it is today. The vitality of the Eastern Heavenly Worlds was greatly damaged, but the Western Buddhist Heavenly Worlds reaped a lot of benefits from it, occupied a large amount of Qi Luck, and successfully rose, and even invaded many worlds in the Eastern Heavenly Worlds. Even the origin of the three sects of the Eastern Daomen, which is a great desolation in the world, has been infiltrated and fought against the Daomen. Perhaps it is because the style of Buddhism is relatively mild, and most of them pursue the accumulation of virtue and do good deeds, and the main body is the human race and is helpful to the exhibition of the heavenly way in the world, so it has been recognized by the will of the heavenly way in the world and is not excluded.

And this invasion of the human world by the demon realm can also be seen as the erosion of the heavenly dao of the demon realm on the heavenly dao of the human world. However, compared to the style of the Buddha Realm and the Demon Realm, it is much more rude, that is, the destruction and killing of the ** naked are completely useless to the operation of the Heavenly Dao in the world, and they are naturally rejected. Once polluted by the will of the Heavenly Dao of the Demon Realm, the Heavenly Dao of the human world will be "devoured", and the human world will become a vassal plane of the Demon Realm from now on, which will naturally arouse the resistance of the Heavenly Dao of the human world, so in the rules of the Heavenly Dao of the human world, the merit of killing demons has been invisibly added.

This is also an important reason why the cultivation realm will participate in the confrontation and kill demons in a big way, in other words, even if you know that there is such a reward, where can you find so many demons to kill? These can be regarded as opportunities, so naturally we must seize the opportunity to kill them. Otherwise, if you miss this time, you don't know when you will have the same good opportunity......

This time, Fairy Han'e came with a group of cultivators from the Chongyang Sect to exterminate demons with this idea. With her strength, she can naturally kill a large number of demons, and get a lot of merit from it, and the more merit she gets, the more luck she will have, and at the same time, she can also use the merit to cultivate some powerful supernatural powers and magic weapons handed over to her by Youlongzi, and she is more sure to survive the catastrophe.

When she rushed out of the dark forbidden released by the demon, she immediately released a few spells to test the power of the dark prohibition, and she already realized that if she didn't amplify the move, the cultivators inside would be in danger. Therefore, she flew high in the air and took out a fist-sized orb with a thunderbolt inside from the ring space.

This is a Heavenly Thunder Bead that she took out of the Nine Heavens Thunder Layer, it is a Thunder Bead formed by the Heavenly Thunder Layer in the Thunder Layer after many years of accumulation and some coincidence of fusing the Yuan Qi in the Heavenly Thunder Layer. Inside, the power of thunder and lightning is extremely powerful. If it can be induced by a special method, the power will definitely not be less than that of an ordinary Heavenly Immortal, and a full blow is no worse than the Heavenly Tribulation!

It just so happened that Fairy Han'e knew such a method, in order to save people, she did not hesitate to take out this life-saving and valuable treasure, held it high in the sky with both palms, and began to cast a spell.

The method used by the Han'e Fairy is called the "Nine Heavens Thunder Dust Method", which is said to be the method of the ancient thunder god to eliminate the fierce places of the earth, such as the evil qi cave, the accumulated corpse cave, the poison Ze demon cave, etc., and return the world to peace. With such a history, it is conceivable that it is powerful. It's just that this spell was lost in ancient times, and when he traveled overseas with Big 6, he once got a fragment in an ancient cultivator's cave, which only recorded how to attract the power of powerful thunder and turn it into an attack spell, but how to accumulate the power of thunder and sort it out and ease it is not recorded. Therefore, it is only recorded and improved by the deity and kept for backup, as long as the conditions are suitable, it is also a strong ** door. Later, it was passed on to the fairy Han'e.

And with the spell of Thunder Bead, there are naturally conditions for casting.

When the spell was recited, the heavenly thunder in the thunder bead gushed out, and the heavenly thunder in the depths of the sky responded to each other, attracting more thunder, and under the guidance of the spell of the Han'e fairy, it hit the dark prohibition at the same time, with the help of heaven and earth, it was broken in one fell swoop, and the cultivators were out!
