Volume 1: The Great Tribulation of Longhan Chapter 29: Almighty Merit, Active Divinity
Taoist Yuanchen, who was in the conversation, seemed to have noticed something, looked up at Nuwa, smiled and nodded, then continued the conversation.
At first, Taoist Yuanchen simply believed that these gods came here so actively just to express their gratitude to Nuwa.
After all, he was not unaware of Tengshe's attitude. This guy was simply a loyal fan of Nuwa. Taoist Yuanchen had a preconceived notion and thought that the other gods were the same.
But Taoist Yuanchen gradually came to his senses and thought that these gods might want to take this opportunity to repay the karma they owed to Nuwa, and also earn merits from the Heavenly Dao Xuanhuang.
How can we not be positive when we can kill two birds with one stone?
Correspondingly, these causes and consequences will be passed on to his two brothers.
It seems that Taoist Yuanchen and Taoist Beichen have suffered a great loss. Not only have their merits been divided, but they have also had to bear the consequences for others.
But if we look at it from another angle, if the two of them had not invited Nuwa for this "opportunity", the gods would not have joined; and without the support of the gods, the Zhoutian formation would definitely not be completed.
By that time, let alone merits, it would be hard to say whether the two brothers Yuanchen and Beichen could successfully pass the test of Dou Mu Yuanjun.
On the contrary, if they could complete the Zhoutian Formation, they would have fulfilled their promise to Dou Mu Yuanjun.
Moreover, as the main designers of the Zhoutian Grand Formation, the two of them would definitely gain a lot of Xuanhuang Merit.
As long as the Zhoutian Array continues to operate, transforming the chaotic energy into the primordial innate spiritual energy, merit will be generated continuously.
With merit, the karma formed by the entanglement of cause and effect will continue to decrease.
In this way, karma will not have much impact on the two people's practice, and they will have more time to repay this cause and effect.
Yes, any creature in the ancient world who owes cause and effect will create karma.
The more karma you owe, the heavier it will be.
If the cause and effect are not resolved in time, karma will continue to accumulate and form shackles on the spiritual practice of living beings. In serious cases, it will stop them in their path and even bring about a life-and-death crisis.
Correspondingly, Xuanhuang merits can offset karma.
If the speed at which you gain Xuanhuang merit is faster than the speed at which your karma grows, and your cultivation is high enough, you can deal with the "creditor" who comes to collect debts.
Then congratulations, you have successfully unlocked one of the ways to resolve cause and effect - forcibly refusing to pay a debt!
As for the other methods,
The first is to repay the debts honestly like these sacred things, the sooner the better, otherwise it will be difficult to reverse the situation.
The second thing, of course, is to get rid of the “creditors”!
If you owe the "creditor" the cause, you must repay the "creditor" the result.
If you really cannot afford to pay it back or don’t want to pay it back, then you can eliminate the “source” of the cause and effect.
If the “creditor” is gone, the cause and effect will naturally be empty, and if it is empty, of course there is no need to pay it back.
However, this method is not something you can use whenever you want.
First, your luck must be better than that of the "creditor";
Otherwise, if you have murderous intentions towards the "creditor", even if the "creditor" is not as strong as you, he may be able to turn danger into safety and eventually counterattack.
Secondly, you must have accumulated a certain amount of merit, or possess a merit-filled spiritual treasure.
Killing the "creditor" will indeed end the cause and effect, but the karma generated by killing people will be clearly counted on you by heaven.
At this time, you can either use merit to offset karma, or use the merit-based spiritual treasure to kill people - because using it to kill people will not be affected by cause and effect, and will not incur karma!
In a word , in the ancient world, Xuanhuang merit is a panacea.
Therefore, for Taoist Yuanchen and Taoist Beichen, the cause and effect owed is indeed worthy of attention, but as long as the Zhoutian formation is completed, everything will be fine.
Just when the saints were chatting animatedly and having a great time.
Taoist Yuanchen bowed to the many saints and said, "Since Lady Nuxi is here, what do you think of the great formation I mentioned?"
Taoist Beichen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at his brother with some surprise.
When all the saints heard Taoist Yuanchen, they also respectfully addressed him as "Lady Nüxi".
The look he gave him was much more friendly.
"Of course, no problem. I have long known that Fellow Daoist Yuanchen is a sincere and trustworthy person. The Zhoutian formation has great potential!"
Taoist Cangli nodded to Yuanchen to express his affirmation of him.
"That's right, Fellow Daoist Yuanchen's Great Zhoutian Formation is a masterpiece, and your talent is immeasurable!"
Yun Yangzi put away his fan and clapped his hands in admiration.
"Of course, Fellow Daoist Yuanchen was the one who convinced that Starry Sky Patriarch to join the Immortal Dao camp!"
"Fellow Daoist, please tell me what we can do. I can't wait to help you."
“…”
“…”
Looking at these sacred beings who had undergone a drastic change in attitude, Taoist Yuanchen remained calm and responded calmly , one by one.
Taoist Beichen stood aside and complained in his heart, these guys were all very arrogant before!
"Thank you for your support, fellow Taoists. However, my formation diagram still has many shortcomings and still needs to be improved."
Taoist Yuanchen thanked all the gods for their support, and then looked troubled.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I have some knowledge of battle formations, and I am willing to do my best to help."
A kind-looking Taoist priest with a white beard spoke first.
"That's right, I am willing to be at your service."
A purple-robed saint then spoke.
"Although I am not good at formations, my friend Du Yue is indeed a great master of formations. I will go find him to help me later."
A saint bowed his head.
"My good friend is also proficient in formations. If Daoist Yuanchen doesn't mind, I will go look for him."
…
"This formation is a huge project. Although I have the help of fellow Taoists, I am still short of manpower!"
Taoist Yuanchen was filled with emotion again.
"How much more holiness do you need, fellow Daoist? Just tell me!"
Taoist Cangli asked.
"The more the better!"
"In that case, I am familiar with the Lord of Zhongshan Cave Heaven and the Lord of Duxian Cave Heaven. I will go and call them over."
Taoist Cangli flew away with his sword.
"I am familiar with the master of Pengxuan Cave Heaven. Daoist friend, please wait for a moment. I will invite him over."
Yun Yangzi turned into light and left.
"I am a good friend of the Lord of Yinxu Blessed Land. I will go and persuade him."
"The Lord of Dayu Fudi is close to me, I will definitely bring him to you."
"The Lord of Xuansi Cave Heaven owes me karma, I will go and ask for it now, I am not afraid that he will not come."
The gods were very proactive in helping Taoist Yuanchen solve his problems.
Soon, nearly half of the gods in the starry sky of the Immortal Camp came. More than a hundred gods gathered in this star field. It was so lively!
"Master Yuanchen, please tell us what difficulties you have. We will do our best!"
The saints are straightforward .
"We still lack the materials to build a large formation."
Taoist Yuanchen didn't waste any words.
"How difficult is that? I have collected a lot of spiritual materials and precious materials over the years."
"It's the same for us!"
"What about the refining aspect?"
“It’s not a big deal!”
…
The saints responded positively, one by one.
Let Taoist Yuanchen truly experience the happiness brought by teamwork and power!
