Chapter 327: Merit and Virtue Can Relieve the Punishment From Heaven

Hearing this, Zhang Lingxu was full of confusion: "What is merit? I have never heard of it.

Zhao Hong waved his hand: "No matter what it is, if it can save Tieshan, just take it.

Anyway, I am less than a thousand years old, and I can find back the things I lose now in the future. "

Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was no longer polite and performed the secret technique of extracting merit from the secret method of merit.

He condensed a faint golden lotus in each of his hands, one fell on his head, and the other fell on the head of his master.

This secret technique of extracting merit is not a secret in the prehistoric world.

To sacrifice and refine the merit treasure, you need to extract the merit from your body and inject it into the treasure.

But if you want to extract the merit of others, it will be more troublesome.

The person whose merit is extracted must be willing.

Otherwise, this secret technique will not work.

If you forcibly extract merit, it is a slap in the face of the way of heaven, and you will inevitably be backlashed and entangled in karma from then on.

Moreover, the karma obtained far exceeds the merit robbed.

At this time, wisps of bright yellow light kept flying out of Liu Yuanchen's head, Melt into the golden lotus.

The golden lotus quickly solidified, just like a real golden lotus.

More than ten breaths passed, and a new petal grew on the golden lotus.

The golden lotus originally had only nine petals, and now there was one more.

More than a hundred breaths passed, and the golden lotus on Liu Yuanchen's head turned into a first-grade golden lotus with three flowers and nine petals.

The prototype of this golden lotus should be the twelve-grade golden lotus of merit in the prehistoric world.

The founder of the secret technique borrowed some of the charm of the golden lotus of merit, so he had the ability to extract merit.

The twelve-grade golden lotus of merit is inextricably linked to merit.

When a cultivator obtains merit, it is just some bright yellow light at the beginning, which is called merit golden light.

When the accumulated merit golden light is more, it will condense behind the head like Liu Yuanchen Successful virtue light wheel.

If you continue to gain more merit, the number of merit light wheels will continue to increase.

When the number of merit light wheels reaches nine, it will turn into a nine-petal merit golden lotus.

The more merit you accumulate in the future, the more petals of this merit golden lotus will be.

As for how far the merit golden lotus can grow, I am afraid only the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa know.

After all, the Three Pure Ones have the merit of opening up the world. As long as they add a little merit of establishing a religion, they can become saints.

And Nuwa created the human race and became a saint by her own merit.

The merits of others are far from becoming saints.

…

At this time, the golden lotus on Zhao Hong's head also grew to the first grade.

Liu Yuanchen looked at the blood karma on Meng Tieshan's body and felt a little nervous.

Although he knew that merit could offset karma, blood karma could not be offset by merit. The karma carried by the veins is quite special.

It belongs to the sins committed by the ancestors, and the children and grandchildren bear the blame.

It is very different from the karma accumulated by one's own sins.

Moreover, that karma was sent down by the prehistoric heavenly way because the two ancestor witches destroyed Buzhou Mountain and interrupted the hope of the prehistoric world to make further progress.

The Yuanling Realm was originally supposed to be a part of the prehistoric world, and it would naturally be affected by the prehistoric heavenly way.

It is difficult to accurately judge how much effect this karma can play in the Yuanling Realm.

Liu Yuanchen had no idea how much merit was needed to reduce this karma to the point where it was not enough to trigger the heavenly punishment.

At this time, the dark clouds of the heavenly punishment continued to lower and had flown less than a hundred feet above Meng Tieshan's head.

Crack~~

A blood-colored thunder fell from the cloud, like a long whip, directly on his forehead.

The blood-colored electric light sank into his body and kept wandering around him.

Puff~~

Meng Tieshan spat out a large mouthful of blood, and his whole breath became very weak.

If another heavenly punishment is sent down, he will probably be crippled even if he doesn't die.

Moreover, once the heavenly punishment appears, it is aimed at killing people.

If the karma is not reduced to a certain extent, the heavenly punishment will never disappear.

And bearing the heavenly punishment will not reduce one's own karma.

Under normal circumstances, once the heavenly punishment appears, the punished person has almost no hope of survival.

The few people who survive the heavenly punishment usually rely on clever hiding methods.

For example, find a person with deep merits and get their protection.

The heavenly punishment is afraid of the consequences, so it has to temporarily give up the heavenly punishment and give the person with karma another chance.

To protect the person who suffers from the heavenly punishment, one's own merits must at least turn into a nine-petal merit golden lotus.

Among the people present, no one can meet this condition.

Liu Yuanchen dared not delay any longer, so he could only try this golden lotus first to see how it works.

Two lotus flowers flew out of his hand and flew directly to the top of Meng Tieshan's head.

From the golden lotus, bright yellow streams of light were emitted and sank into Meng Tieshan's body.

As the power of merit was lost, the petals of the golden lotus withered one by one.

At the same time, the blood light on Meng Tieshan's body was also weakening.

Finally, the two golden lotuses turned into debris and merged into Meng Tieshan's body.

The shadow of Zhurong Zuwu, which was condensed by the blood-red karma on his body, became obviously dim.

According to a rough estimate, the karma on his body was reduced by more than 20%.

The dark clouds of heavenly punishment above his head were also dissipating at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the clouds were gradually thinning.

Liu Yuanchen and the other three looked at the dark cloud with expectation, hoping that it would completely dissipate.

After more than a hundred breaths, most of the dark clouds had dissipated, but there was still about ten miles of radius left.

The pressure in the clouds was also weakening rapidly. Liu Yuanchen just felt a little suffocated at this time and no longer had the urge to kneel down.

The blood-colored thunder that kept flashing in the clouds was reduced by 70%.

The momentum of destroying everything was also weakening rapidly.

However, this heavenly punishment still did not end.

If the karma on Meng Tieshan could not continue to decrease, the heavenly punishment would not stop.

The weakened heavenly punishment should not be underestimated. If he was allowed to strike down, Meng Tieshan would still die.

Liu Yuanchen turned his head to look at his master and found that his merits had been lost by one third.

He looked at his merit halo again, which was just a little dim.

Merits are not only related to one's own cultivation and luck, but also play a big role in the process of the cave heaven growing into a small world in the future.

The master's merits are not much, and there is no means to brush merits, so he cannot lose too much.

With the earth book in hand, he can continuously obtain the merits of the earth by repairing the mountains and spirit veins.

Suppressing the Water Moon Demon Lotus can also continuously gain authentic merit.

When you have a higher level of cultivation in the future, you can try to repair the Wuyunling Great Spiritual Vein.

In this way, the merits gained are incalculable.

It is not a big deal to lose more now.

He used the secret technique again to condense a nine-petal golden lotus and placed it on his head.

Not long after, the nine-petal golden lotus grew into a first-grade golden lotus and injected merit into Meng Tieshan's body.

The shadow of Zhurong Zuwu condensed by karma became dim again and slowly returned to his body.

At the same time, the dark clouds of heavenly punishment in the sky quickly dissipated, the blood-colored thunder disappeared, and even the pressure disappeared.

Liu Yuanchen breathed a sigh of relief: "The heavenly punishment has finally dissipated, and my junior brother's life has been saved."

Zhao Hong hurriedly flew over, followed by Liu Yuanchen and Zhang Lingxu.

When they arrived at the lava lake, they found Meng Tieshan motionless.

After a spiritual sense investigation, this guy's vitality is still very strong and is constantly improving.

At this time, he turned over, and a little saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then was evaporated by the hot lava.

Obviously, Meng Tieshan fell asleep.

He was immediately furious: "This traitor, at the critical moment of life and death, he can still sleep, I really want to clean up the mess."

After scolding him a few times, he flew to the lava lake again.

Looking at Meng Tieshan, his face was full of relief.

When Liu Yuanchen came to the lava lake, Zhao Hong asked hurriedly: "Yuanchen, what is the merit you mentioned before? It can actually break the heavenly punishment?"

Zhang Lingxu was also curious: "I have lived for thousands of years, and I have never heard that the heavenly punishment can be lifted.

Besides, Tieshan is kind by nature, and it is impossible for him to attract the heavenly punishment."

Liu Yuanchen did not hide it, but said solemnly: "Grandmaster, Master, the matter of merit and heavenly punishment must not be spread.

Even if it is to be regarded as a legacy, it is limited to our lineage.

If it spreads, the loss will be great."

The two promised not to reveal it, and Liu Yuanchen continued: "The reason why Junior Brother encountered the heavenly punishment is that there is karma in his blood.

The so-called karma is that if you do something harmful to the heaven and earth, the heaven will bring down karma.

Merit is the opposite of karma. Heaven will bestow merit upon those who have done good things for the world. "

"The ancestors of the witch clan, dragon clan, and phoenix clan have done many things that are harmful to the world.

Before this debt is paid off, their entire race will bear karma.

Junior brother has the blood of the witch clan, so naturally he has to bear some of the karma of the witch clan. "

"When he broke through, the witch clan blood in his body further awakened, and the karma also erupted, which led to the punishment from heaven.

Merit can offset karma. I just extracted merit and integrated it into the body of junior brother, offsetting part of the karma.

Junior brother's karma is less, not enough to trigger the punishment from heaven, so the punishment from heaven is naturally weakened. "

The witch clan dominated the prehistoric land, killed countless creatures, destroyed countless spirit veins, and destroyed Mount Buzhou.

The battle between the witch and the demon clans dealt a heavy blow to the entire prehistoric world.

Needless to say, the dragon clan and the phoenix clan, the battle between the dragon, phoenix, and unicorn clans also caused a lot of damage to the prehistoric world.

After the catastrophe of the three tribes, the Qilin tribe was almost extinct, and the dragon and phoenix tribes were also devastated.

The dragon tribe suppressed the four seas and made clouds and rain, and the phoenix tribe suppressed the immortal volcano, constantly accumulating merits.

Only in this way could they barely save their tribe and slowly atone for their sins.

After hearing this, Zhang Lingxu was surprised: "There is such a hidden story behind the heavenly punishment."

"Our disciples of the Eight Desolate Pavilion opened up the blessed land of the cave and gave back to the big world, so they must have merits.

I have lived for thousands of years and should have accumulated a lot of merits.

When the merits were drawn just now, they should have drawn mine."

Liu Yuanchen chuckled: "Grandmaster, you do have a lot of merits, second only to your disciples.

However, merits have many uses.

With more merits, whether it is to comprehend the laws or break through the realm, the success rate will be much higher."

"The disciples can easily obtain the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and merits are also an extremely important reason."

"Especially when the cave grows into a small world, it will be obstructed by the Heavenly Dao.

And if you have merits, it means that the Yuanling Realm owes you a favor, and then the Heavenly Dao will not be embarrassed to obstruct with all its strength.

The more merits you have, the less power the Heavenly Dao will obstruct."

"Grandmaster, you are about to break through the Daotai realm, so try to use less merits."

Hearing this, Zhao Hong's eyes shone: "There are so many uses for merit. If I have enough merit, wouldn't I also be able to become a true god of heaven?

Yuan Chen, why are your merits higher than those of your master? "

Liu Yuanchen chuckled lightly: "The main source of my merits is to kill the Dragon King of Luochuan, protect the blessed land of ten thousand monsters, and save the Luochuan River Basin from a bloody storm.

Preserving the Ten Thousand Demons Blessed Land means preserving many spiritual veins and many creatures in the blessed land.

There has been one less bloody storm in the Luochuan River Basin, and many lives have been reduced. This merit is indispensable. "

"I killed the Dragon King of Luochuan mainly by relying on the life-saving means left by my ancestor.

Therefore, the master also received a lot of merit.

I broke into the Luochuan Dragon King's hiding place, relying on the life-saving means you left behind, Master.

Therefore, you have also received some merit, but not as much as Master. "

“As for the ways to obtain merit, there are many.

Merits can be gained by spreading the Taoist tradition, rescuing people, repairing spiritual veins, and killing or suppressing karma-ridden creatures.

Even becoming a god and doing things for the people can still gain incense and merit.

The disciple gained a lot of merit by suppressing the demonic black lotus. "

Upon hearing this, Zhao Hong became excited on the spot: "If you can gain merit by doing these things, then I can do it too.

Just save people, it's too troublesome.

As for spreading the Taoism, I am tired of taking care of both of my disciples, so I will leave this job to you.

Repairing spiritual veins is too troublesome and requires too much investment.

Your second uncle is proficient in formations, so it would be better for him to do it.

As for killing karma-ridden creatures, I'm good at that! "

"You mentioned the Witch Clan, Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan before. Because our ancestors did a lot of things that harmed the world, the entire clan has karma attached to them.

Doesn't it mean that I can gain merit by killing members of the three clans? "

Liu Yuanchen nodded: "Of course that's the case, even those monsters with dragon blood have karma on them, it's just a difference.

But if the masters of the two races are captured alive and suppressed, or they can be made to do good deeds and do something beneficial to the world.

Although this is troublesome, if the water flows slowly, you will gain more merit. "

Zhao Hong waved his hand: "That's too troublesome. It would be easier to beat him to death with a stick."

Liu Yuanchen secretly sighed in his heart. His master still preferred simple and crude methods and had no patience to gain merit.

“Junior brother’s karma has not been completely eliminated, there is still karma attached to him.

Those who are burdened by karma will be hostile and suppressed by heaven and earth, and even their cultivation will be affected.

He also needs to accumulate merit and offset his own karma.

Otherwise, when you break through the big realm in the future, it is likely to cause disaster again. "

Zhao Hong waved his hand: "This traitor spends all his time trying to undermine me, so I don't bother to care about him.

His cultivation level is too low, and it is too dangerous to trouble the Dragon Clan.

You can arrange a divine position for him casually and let him be a god, and you can accumulate some merit. "

“If it doesn’t work, just throw him to the Northern Territory.

The magical power in his inheritance should be able to melt the ice and snow in a large area.

Planting grass and trees on the exposed land to feed some mortals should also earn a lot of merit. "

Liu Yuanchen secretly laughed in his heart, his master was really hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

He said that Meng Tieshan was a traitor and wanted to expel him from the school, but in fact he had even thought of ways to accumulate merit.
