An ordinary cloud boat ten feet long passed quickly over the East China Sea.
The seemingly ordinary boat canopy was filled with the current core team of Tianting.
Here there is a Daluo Jinxian who cannot display much strength for the time being, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother Guile Ling;
There is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Huanglong Zhenren, who has strong magical power but cannot display much strength for the time being;
There are also two golden immortals: Luo Xuejing, the elder of Tianfang Pavilion, and Qingsu, the elder of Zhuyun Sect.
With such combat power, it is enough to move sideways in Dongzhou, not to mention that there are five immortals - Wang Shan and four personal guards - to supplement the combat power.
As for the fat Taoist sitting next to Li Ping'an, he mainly plays a key role in reimbursing business trip expenses, activating the team atmosphere, and improving the team's luck. He is not needed for fighting.
Qingsu was driving this cloud boat, planning to circle from the East China Sea to the North Sea, and cut into the poisonous miasma-ridden Beizhou land from the north.
Approaching Beihai, Li Ping'an gathered all the immortals and began to discuss what to do next.
"According to the information spied on by Tianfang Pavilion, the Western Sect is planning to start a rebellion in the Wu tribe. The purpose of our trip is to stop this rebellion and try to win over these remaining ancient Wu tribes to help our Heavenly Court."
Li Pingan groaned for a few times and said slowly:
"Winning over the Wu clan is definitely not a simple matter, this is our mid- to long-term goal.
"This rebellion is an opportunity to show good will to them. As long as it can undermine the intentions of Western religion, it is a good thing for us."
Li Dazhi asked: "You mean, try not to kill the witch clan?"
"That's not necessarily true," Li Ping'an said. "Our principle is that self-preservation is the top priority in everything. There is one more thing."
Li Pingan took out a half-face armor from his sleeve and put it on himself in front of everyone.
He said: "If I show up directly, I'm afraid it will cause endless troubles, so in the actions I directly participate in, I will hide the identity of Li Ping'an and show up in disguise. Now I am Mo Wendi, the master of Tianfang Pavilion.
Please don’t shout the wrong thing later.”
"Okay," Qing Su responded softly, with a bit more curiosity in her eyes.
Li Ping'an knew his master well, so he took out a half-face armor of a similar style and handed it over.
Qingsu took it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, then refined it and put it on his face.
Li Pingan lowered his head and rubbed his nose.
He didn't know if it was because he hadn't seen each other for too long, but he always felt that the master after breaking through immortality... seemed to be more feminine than before...
"But," Our Lady of Guiling asked in a low voice, "Isn't the Master of the Tianfang Pavilion the quasi-Celestial Emperor of the New Heavenly Court?"
Luo Xuejing smiled and said: "What your Majesty means is that the Master of Tianfang Pavilion is a minister of the Heavenly Court, and Your Majesty is now playing the role of the Master of Tianfang Pavilion. In other words, Your Majesty is playing the role of His Majesty's minister, thus concealing his identity."
The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit blinked, and several question marks appeared on her head.
Li Ping'an said: "As long as no one else knows that the master of Tianfang Pavilion is Li Ping'an, that's enough."
While talking, Li Ping'an had already taken out two fake beards and put them on them.
Our Lady of Turtle Spirit couldn't help laughing out loud and said it was funny.
Master Huang Long muttered: "Actually, there is no need to go to such trouble. Turtle Spirit and I will just take action and subdue them all."
"Real people should not be careless."
Wang Shan said seriously:
"The Wu Clan was also an ancient overlord-level force. Although it has declined now, there are still several masters in the Wu Clan.
"Whether the Western Sect wants to win over the Witch Clan or attack the Witch Clan sneakily, it must use corresponding experts in order to suppress the Witch Clan at the critical moment or escape unscathed.
"If we refer to the scale of experts used by Wan Mo Tian to attack Wan Yun Sect last time, the opponent might have Daluo Jinxian in charge."
Master Huang Long smiled calmly: "If the opponent has Daluo Jinxian, Pindao will fight! You will quickly deal with the other masters, and then come to support Pindao!"
Holy Mother Turtle Spirit blinked: "Then should I call someone? I can only use a little bit of magical power now, the power of heaven is too abominable."
"No need!"
Huang Long waved his hand and said seriously:
"The Tiandi Temple has been erected, and we also circled around in front of all the people, and then landed on the roof of the Tiandi Temple. Now it is the guardian dragon of the Tiandi Temple.
"How can Heaven not give me some thin noodles?
"Don't worry, everyone, I just feel relaxed and happy now. I feel very good. Daluo Jinxian is not far away!"
Li Dazhi gave a thumbs up, while Huang Long smiled and stroked his beard.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "In that case, we will use Uncle Huang Long as the main force later. Think twice before doing anything. If you encounter the opponent's master, don't fight directly. Everyone should be more cautious."
While speaking, Li Ping'an took out a silver-gray shuttle and handed it to Luo Xuejing.
He warned: "This is the Lingbao Shuttle made by Brother Xu. Although it moves a little slowly, it is better in that it can hide its whereabouts and eliminate its aura. After entering Beizhou, we will transfer to this shuttle."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Luo Xuejing held the shuttle with both hands and began to refine it quickly.
Li Ping'an opened his sleeves again, pulled out twelve storage rings of the same style, and gave one or two pieces to each of the unqualified Golden Immortals.
"This is the self-propelled immortal armor that Brother Xu and I completed together. You can think of it as a puppet of the true immortal's combat power.
"The characteristic of the self-propelled fairy armor inside the blue finger is that it has sufficient endurance, can run for several days and nights, and can also automatically absorb spiritual energy and convert it into spiritual power.
"The self-propelled fairy armor inside the red thumb ring is characterized by its explosive power and the ability to self-destruct.
"The method of use is very simple, just give a verbal command."
Li Dazhi said in surprise: "Did it really happen?"
"Of course," Li Ping'an smiled and raised his eyebrows, "having a master of weapon refining to help me is more useful than me doing it by myself for several years."
Li Dazhi said happily: "This relationship is great, can this thing be produced?"
"Brother Xu is developing a mass-produced version. What I mean is to try to reduce the proportion of rare materials and ensure that the self-propelled immortal armor has the combat power of ordinary immortals."
Li Pingan muttered for a few times:
"Looking at it now, the cost is still a bit expensive. Refining 50,000 sets will bankrupt the Casting Cloud Sect."
"Then it's better to play it slow and steady."
Holy Mother Turtle Spirit stretched out her little hand: "Give me one to take a look at!"
"Okay," Li Ping'an thought for a while, gave the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit a self-destructing immortal armor, and gave Qingsu a ring containing seven experimental self-propelled immortal armors of the 'Linkable Battle Formation'.
Qingsu just looked at it and put it away.
She has no interest in the art of puppetry.
"Your Majesty, we are about to enter Beihai."
Wang Shan reminded him loudly.
Li Ping'an nodded lightly, and just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard some noisy voices in his ears, and subconsciously looked to the southwest, in the direction of Dong'an City.
Those voices are suddenly near and far away:
"The Temple of the Heavenly Emperor? It is the Temple of the Heavenly Emperor of our human race!"
"His Majesty the Human Emperor has asked the human race to fully support the new heaven. Let's also go in and burn incense."
"Why are all the seats next to the Emperor of Heaven vacant? In two years' time, the Notre Dame Palace will select ministers for the Emperor of Heaven. We all have a chance!"
"This temple is so beautiful."
"Hey, Aunt Wang, the Tiandi Temple outside the city is so efficacious! I just burned the incense half a day ago, and when I got home, my child got better and stopped coughing."
"Really? I'm going to try it too. My daughter is marrying into a wealthy family. She hasn't received any good news for several years. I'm worried for her."
"It's better to let it happen. Maybe it's your son-in-law's problem."
Is this the voice of sentient beings heard by the statue of the Emperor of Heaven?
Li Ping'an was wondering when he suddenly felt wisps of strange, warm spiritual energy flowing into his spiritual platform.
The merits of incense?
Li Ping'an looked at everyone and said that he had some insights. He closed his eyes and carefully realized the power of this merit.
…
There are two types of merits, one is the merits of incense and the other is the merits of heaven.
The so-called merits of heaven can be understood as the blessings sent by heaven.
In the prehistoric mythology known to Li Ping'an, there are three necessary steps for Nuwa to become a saint of heaven, namely Sanqing, Erxi.
First, obtaining Hongmeng Purple Qi is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of heaven.
Second, heaven allows for sanctification.
Third, heaven sends down great merits to help the Six Saints fill the realm they lack for sanctification.
Generally speaking, it is generally believed that the power of merit is infinite and can help people break through realms and extend their lifespan. For ordinary people, the value of merit and karma are usually important reference standards for which of the six paths to enter during reincarnation.
Of course, the power of merit also has a counter-effect, that is, masters who rely on merit to gain strength will be affected by the way of heaven, or imprisoned by the way of heaven.
In ancient times, there was a saying in heaven about the help of merit.
For example, the reason why Mo Linyuan was able to break through from the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm to the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm was because of the power of merit.
Therefore, he would also laugh at himself as a ‘fake Daluo’.
Because there is no Hongjun Hedao, in the ancient heaven, the strength of the Heavenly Way was not too strong, and there were not many cases of using the Heavenly Way's merits. The Heavenly Way's merits were short-lived, and no one discussed it much later, and there were not many human history books.
See.
The merits of incense are relatively common.
Just like Xu Xuntian's wife and daughter, who relied on the merits of incense to become "wild gods" and create spiritual bodies. Now they have turned around.
Li Ping'an had actually thought about how to talk to Heaven and do some merits and deeds with Heaven before, but there were too many things to do and he was so busy that he forgot about it.
The merits of heaven are a great weapon and can greatly enhance the ‘competitiveness’ of New Heaven in the eyes of Qi Refiners.
But now, because of the Tiandi Temple in Dong'an City, wisps of incense and merit have found him. Li Ping'an was a little curious and began to study it carefully.
Soon, a realization flashed through his heart.
The little person of Yuanshen opened his eyes from the spiritual platform, looked at the 'colorful silk threads' surrounding them everywhere, and then pointed out a finger to lead these incense merits to the golden cloud above.
The golden cloud vibrated slightly, and those colorful threads continued to circle around the golden cloud, condensing into golden threads and a little ashes.
All the golden threads were buried in the center of the golden cloud.
The 'growing' thirty-three-story pagoda trembled slightly, and its progress improved slightly.
When those ashes were scattered, Li Ping'an's Yuan Shen sensed carefully and discovered that the predecessor of the ashes was actually the 'desires of living beings'. At this moment, these desires were burned by the power of heaven.
"So that's it...the merits of heaven are the merits of incense without the desires of living beings..."
Li Ping'an's mind became more lively.
He led a strand of colorful silk thread into the golden cloud. When the colorful thread turned into golden thread, he drew out the golden thread and wrapped it around the fingertips of Yuanshen.
After thinking about it, Li Ping'an still had no determination to directly experiment on himself.
It's not that he is timid, just a little bit steady.
Li Ping'an had a three-inch long small gun in his sleeve. He poured a ray of merit power into the small gun's body and carefully sensed the changes in the gun's body.
really!
The small gun has a bit more sharpness, the restraint is more stable, and although the material has not changed, it has become stronger.
Li Ping'an even vaguely realized that as long as he had enough heavenly merits, this fairy treasure spear that had been with him for a long time could very well transform into a spiritual treasure!
The merits of heaven are indeed of infinite use!
Li Ping'an couldn't help but start thinking about how to achieve more heavenly merits.
Build more Tiandi temples, collect incense merits, and then let the incense merits be transformed into heavenly merits in the golden cloud. This is currently the simplest and most stable way.
So, Li Ping'an opened his eyes, pulled his father and muttered.
Li Dazhi wondered: "No, Ping An, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly change your mind and go to Linzhengxian Dynasty to promote the Tiandi Temple?"
"It's not like I suddenly have the motivation to fight."
Li Ping'an didn't hide it from Li Dazhi. He covered the glow of the Lingtai with a blue cloud and said:
"Dad, come and see my memorial platform."
"no problem!"
Li Dazhi's soul left his body and penetrated Li Ping'an's chest with ease.
Everyone looked over curiously.
"Don't come near!"
The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit suddenly stood up, opened her arms and stood in front of Li Pingan, and said hurriedly:
"Everyone, stay away! Don't go to the Emperor of Heaven's spiritual tower to explore! Heaven will really seal us off!"
There were several black lines hanging on everyone's foreheads.
Suddenly, I knew why the Holy Mother Guiling was banned...
Master Huang Long frowned and said: "Turtle spirit, even if you don't have the power of heaven to seal it, you shouldn't randomly explore other people's spiritual towers? The spiritual platform is the place where lives are intertwined, how can outsiders be allowed in and out so easily!"
"Well," Our Lady of Turtle Spirit pursed her lips, "I was just curious for a moment and I knew I was wrong."
Master Huang Long said: "You should pay more attention to the rules when you are around the nephew of the Emperor of Heaven."
"Oh," Our Lady of Turtle Spirit sat back in her chair a little depressed, bulging her lips and shaking her short legs, obviously dissatisfied with Huang Long's teachings.
Wang Shan smiled and said: "Senior Guiling was also worried about us just now."
On the side, Qing Su thought of Li Ping'an's advice.
'Master, Our Lady of Turtle Spirit is a top-notch master in the world, and the strongest master that disciples can rely on now. One of her hobbies is eating. If I don't take good care of her later, you can get her some snacks.
.'
Qingsu flicked her fingers, and oilcloth bags floated out in front of her. The vertical ropes on the oilcloth bags opened by themselves, revealing the fresh dried spiritual fruits and preserved meat of spiritual beasts inside.
The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit sniffed with the tip of her nose.
With a tap of Qingsu's fingers, these snacks floated around the body of Turtle Spirit Mother.
"My apprentice asked me to prepare it," Qing Su said, "Here it is for you."
"Oh! Thank you!"
The Holy Mother Guiling was immediately in a good mood, picked up a dried spirit fruit, put it into her mouth, chewed it, and let out a soft sigh of admiration.
"What's your name?"
"Qing Su."
"I will protect you from now on! Are you the... maid of Master Ping An's nephew?"
"Master, the master who built the first half of the road."
"Then your seniority is the same as mine? My name is Gui Lingling. Let's eat together. These little things made by the human race are really good. In the past, we could only eat fish when we were soaking in the sea. It was so fishy."
Not long after, giggles could be heard in the cabin. Yunzhou had entered the miasma cloud in Beizhou, and using the cover of the miasma cloud, he quickly shuttled towards the gathering place of the witch clan.
Luo Xuejing waited for the opportunity to replace the invisible cloud boat.
After another moment.
A beam of fairy light flew from Li Ping'an's chest back to Li Dazhi's forehead. Li Dazhi shivered a few times, opened his eyes and looked ahead, and subconsciously raised his hand to support his wig.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Let's build more Tiandi temples."
"Well, this is a fixed income, so naturally the more the merrier."
Li Dazhi muttered:
"However, you are obviously guarding the way of heaven, but you want to earn incense and merit... Isn't this the same as guarding the bank and not taking out loans to start a business, but going to work instead?
"If the merits of incense are to be sustained, enough manpower must be arranged to fulfill the wishes of all living beings, so that they can operate effectively..."
Li Dazhi pondered for a few times, then raised his head and said, "You should be busy with the Wu Clan's affairs first. I'll think about it and see if I can get some loans."
Li Pingan gave his old father a thumbs up.
God's merits should not arise out of thin air. Let Comrade Li worry about this matter.
Li Ping'an asked: "Where are we?"
Luo Xuejing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, we are close to the edge of the gathering place of the witch clan. It's time to change Yunzhou and contact the elders who came here to investigate!"
"Okay, you make the arrangements."
"There are fluctuations in fighting techniques," Master Huang Long whispered, "Thirty thousand miles to the west, there is a rift valley wrapped in formations. There, the Dao Ze that Taiyi Realm masters are fighting against is shaking, and a fight has begun."
Li Ping'an thought carefully, stood up and said, "Uncle Huang Long, take me to investigate first."
Master Huanglong said: "How to bring it?"
The Holy Mother Turtle Spirit said crisply: "I'll go too!"
"It's okay, we won't take action, we are just going to investigate the situation."
Li Ping'an casually pinched a spell, transformed into a little bee, and got into Huanglong's sleeve.
"Uncle Master is hiding in hiding. Don't let your whereabouts be exposed. Just rush there as planned. If you encounter the enemy, retreat immediately."
