The consumption of merit is crazy, but the improvement in strength is even crazier.
"The Five Elements Avenue has been integrated into the seventh level of mysteries. This..."
At this moment, he finally knew why all the forces in the Earthly Immortal Realm were trying to kill people for meritorious deeds. This kind of increase in cultivation was simply terrifying.
Compared with it, the transmission function of the Book of Truth is simply the younger brother among younger brothers.
Even the fragments of the jade plate of good fortune accelerate the cultivation of the Great Law, which is far less than the merit. This is just a small merit. Zheng Dong can't imagine what kind of heaven-defying effect a big merit will have?
What about the Hongmeng Purple Qi above that?
What excites Zheng Dong the most is that the effects of merit-accelerating cultivation can actually be superimposed.
In other words, his current understanding of the laws of the Great Dao is accelerated by the triple acceleration of the fragments of the jade of creation, the book of truth, and merit.
Since the fragments of the Creation Jade are now under his control, although he does not recognize him as the master, he can still independently control the speed of his cultivation.
Zheng Dong naturally adjusted the increase to the maximum, which was a hundred times.
The Book of Truth has the weakest amplification ability. Originally it was only ten times. Now after promotion, the amplification has increased to about twenty times.
The superposition of the two is two thousand times.
In other words, with the simultaneous growth of the Book of Truth and the fragments of the Jade Disk of Creation, he understood the laws of the Great Dao for one year, which is equivalent to the past two thousand years.
It's just that the Book of Truth can only be used once every ten years, which is pretty useless.
Only when encountering bottlenecks would Zheng Dong choose to use it.
But even if the two are superimposed, the increase in cultivation is not as good as the merit.
In fact, the rate at which merit increases through cultivation is not fixed and depends on how consistent you are with the merit and how much merit you consume.
Let’s use an analogy.
Your level of compliance with merit is 100, and the merit value consumed every year is one million. Then the growth rate of cultivation is one million divided by one hundred, which is an increase of ten thousand times.
In other words, one year of your practice is worth ten thousand years of hard work under normal circumstances.
Zheng Dong's merit compatibility degree is not high, but it is not low either. His compatibility degree is 10,000.
In other words, he consumes more than 30 million merits a year, and his cultivation growth rate is more than 3,000. One year of cultivation is equivalent to more than 3,000 years, and three years of cultivation is equivalent to 30,000 years of solitary cultivation.
This does not include the increase in the creation of the Jade Disc, plus the increase in the creation of the Jade Butterfly, Zheng Dong is now equivalent to three million years of hard training on the path of integrating the Five Elements.
It took three million years to reach the seventh level of integration of the five elements.
But compared to monks who practice a single avenue of law, Zheng Dong's current law realm is almost as good as the peak of the Earth Immortal.
In other words, Zheng Dong's current level of law is comparable to that of Long Chen and Zu Long.
Of course, in the realm of laws, there is still a gap between Zheng Dong's basic strength and them.
But overall, Zheng Dong's current strength is not inferior to that of Zhu Yan, and is not much different from the monks in the late Earth Immortal period.
Even without the blessing of the power of the ancient world, Zheng Dong's strength is enough to rank among the top five monks in Chunshen Realm.
If magic weapons or something were added, it could even be ranked in the top three.
The only ones who were not sure of victory were Long Chen and Zu Long.
Of course, Zheng Dong holds a defensive high-grade Houtian Lingbao such as the sixth-grade Qinglian, and Long Chen and Zu Long can't do anything to him.
With 100 million merits, Zheng Dong's strength has undergone earth-shaking changes.
They were originally at the bottom among the Earth Immortals, but suddenly they became the top among the Earth Immortals.
Of course, this peak is only compared with ordinary earth immortals. If compared with earth immortals who have also embarked on the road of fusion, Zheng Dong is far behind.
It's just that there are very few earth immortals in the sea of time and space who have embarked on the road of fusion, even rarer than Da Luo Jinxian. In other words, his current strength is the pinnacle existence among the earth immortals.
"The increase in strength is terrifying, and the consumption of merit is even more terrifying!"
Zheng Dong was happy at the same time, but also a little heartbroken at the same time.
Merit is not easy to obtain. The reason why Zheng Dong was able to capture so much in the hands of Manjushri Bodhisattva is because he has an unusual status in Western Buddhism and is one of the four great Bodhisattvas.
Even so, this one sign of merit belongs to the other party.
If you want to accumulate one trillion merits in today's prehistoric times, you have to wait for more than 7,000 yuan, which is simply unrealistic.
"Merit is so important,"
Zheng Dong's eyes were solemn, "It can not only increase the speed of comprehending the law, but also increase the speed of cultivating the physical body, soul, and magic power."
In other words, merit increases cultivation in all aspects.
It is not limited to law, body, soul, or magic.
With merit, one's strength can be improved rapidly. Without merit, if one relies on one's own hard work, the gap in strength will be quickly widened.
At this moment, Zheng Dong could finally understand why all the forces in the earthly and immortal world fought for merit.
If it were him, he would probably get into a fight.
"Expansion! Expansion! Expansion!"
Zheng Dong was roaring in his heart.
Only by wildly expanding the wilderness can we speed up the process of refining merit.
When Origin Continent started the war with the Earthly Immortal Realm, merit should have been one of the important factors.
Because the Earthly Immortal Realm, as the first world of Chaos, occupies too much luck and has gained endless merits, it makes the gods of the Origin Continent almost crazy with jealousy.
When they saw the opportunity, they smashed the Earth Immortal Realm without hesitation, and it became a smooth matter.
Without the Earthly Immortal Realm, the second world in chaos immediately took the place of the Earthly Immortal Realm and received the gift of Chaos, thus entering the Age of Space, Time and Sea, also known as the Age of Origin.
After 100 million merits were exhausted, Zheng Dong opened his eyes.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue practicing, but that the clone he practiced in the sea of origin has been completed.
Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-four clones.
To be honest, so many clones are nothing compared to the millions of blood sea clones of Patriarch Styx.
Not to mention that the Buddha taught in the West has one thought and one avatar, one sand and one world, and countless eternal sand realms, and his avatars transform into thousands.
Theoretically speaking, there are endless incarnations of Buddha's clones, and one is born with every thought.
Compared with the number, three thousand clones are really not that many.
But considering that Zheng Dong made every clone understand the law, this is a lot.
Those who can make the clone understand the law are those who cultivate the clone as the original deity. In other words, if the original deity dies, the clone can immediately replace the original deity.
This is what Ancestor Styx does. His Blood Sea clone is his backup. The lowest strength of each Blood Sea clone is the Golden Immortal realm, and the strongest one reaches the Quasi-Saint realm.
This is also the fundamental reason why Ancestor Styx has encountered so many disasters and still remains standing.
In terms of the number of clones, Ancestor Styx is not afraid of others. In terms of the quality of clones, Ancestor Styx is also the top existence. How can those quasi-sages who are alone and have no clones or only a few clones compare with his background?
