Chapter 181: Vow in exchange for merit

"It's not like I need to waste my time on this."

Heng Ming's thoughts turned, but his face suddenly darkened, and he frowned slightly, saying: "Why do you two ask this? As long as you achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Dao Fruit, you will naturally understand the mysteries contained in the Hongmeng Purple Qi. You just need to wait."

Zhunti couldn't hold back and asked hurriedly, "May I ask, Senior Brother, how did you achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Dao Fruit? Can you tell us?"

Hengming raised his head slightly, and the long river above him began to surge more and more, with raging waves and roaring at the sky, as if it was about to transform into a giant dragon that would devour everything in the world, ready to go, as if changing according to its master's thoughts.

Zhunti and Jie Yin felt a slight change in their hearts, and they didn't know that this was their eternal destiny.

Heng Ming pondered for a moment and said, "The opportunity to achieve enlightenment changes with the mind. If you two junior brothers want to ask, I can only say that at a certain point in time, I had a feeling in my heart, and then I took the last step. It was the same for Junior Sister Nuwa. I think Junior Brother Jie Yin also often has this feeling, right?"

Jie Yin nodded slightly when he heard that. His cultivation had already quietly stepped into the peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and was not inferior to others in any way. When he was practicing, he always had an inexplicable urge to completely sublimate the avenue and take the last step.

But this feeling is both real and false. After taking this last step, there is no choice but to regret. Once you take a step, it is impossible to take it back.

If one step falls right, everyone will be happy; but if this step is taken wrong, one will surely die, or even die without any hope of resurrection, because one's own great path will be completely destroyed, and the mark of one's existence in the world will completely return to nothingness. How can there be any possibility of resurrection?

Let alone waiting for several kalpas, even if you wait for countless kalpas, it would be impossible to be resurrected again.

Even if there is a great opportunity, such as the protection of heaven, and you are lucky enough to survive, you can only survive for eternity, and life will be worse than death.

Unable to recover from injuries, unable to make further progress, and only able to crawl on the ground like a maggot, living in misery in the world, this is the greatest torture for a monk, it would be better to just die.

Jie Yin asked again: "If we don't want to achieve Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, but want to enter the position of saint first, how can we do it?"

After hearing this, Heng Ming shook his head and sighed, "Why are you two junior brothers so desperate? We are destined to be born as saints, so why should we argue about who will win? I cannot tell you this method, otherwise it will definitely harm you, and I cannot bear it."

Instead of being disappointed, the two were very happy after hearing this. What Jie Yin asked just now was just a test, and they did not hold much hope at all. However, what Heng Ming said made it clear that he did have a way to achieve the status of a saint before becoming a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Jie Yin and Zhunti all bowed down and said in unison, "Brother, please consider our past friendship and grant us the way to become a saint."

Hengming did not dodge this time. At the moment, he was a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and had also received the title of saint. He was qualified to accept the worship of the two. What's more, he was going to tell them the so-called method of becoming a saint next.

Heng Ming waited for them to bow three times before he raised his hand to help him up. He said helplessly, "Since you want this method so much, I will tell you about it. It can be just a joke between us brothers."

Jie Yin and Zhunti hurriedly listened attentively, afraid of missing any details.

Heng Ming said slowly, "Before I achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Dao Fruit, I really can't take the lead in becoming a saint. But I have recently comprehended the Great Dao and found that there may be a trick in the method of becoming a saint. That is to combine the method of becoming a saint by beheading the three corpses and the method of becoming a saint by merit as mentioned by Master."

"Virtue leads to sainthood?"

The two of them were not surprised that he could become a saint by beheading the three corpses. Instead, they turned their attention to the four words "becoming a saint by virtue", and a hint of doubt appeared on their faces.

It’s not that they are unwilling to use the method of becoming a saint through merit, but because the merit required for this method of becoming a saint is so great that it is immeasurable and boundless, a number that is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

Although the two brothers had been governing the West for several years and had received some merits and awards, and even condensed a circle of merit golden wheels, compared with the infinite merits required for the method of becoming a saint, this circle of merit golden wheels was really a drop in the bucket and a drop in the bucket. It was not worth mentioning at all.

This is why they feel a little embarrassed.

Heng Ming pretended not to notice the expressions on their faces and continued, "Master once said, 'If you kill the three corpses, you will be perfect, and the way of heaven will surely spontaneously condense into a saint.' However, this method is only suitable for Master. If we imitate him, we will only seek death. But if we kill one more corpse, we will have more hope.

If you use a lot of merit here to cleanse yourself, your luck will flourish and attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao. When the two methods intersect, the Heavenly Dao will definitely take action to trigger the mystery of the Hongmeng Purple Qi for you and lead you to the position of a saint."

Zhunti said with a hint of frustration: "It's easy to kill the three corpses, but it's really difficult to gain merit. If we repair the West, we may be able to gain infinite merit, but the West is still half dead now. Even if my senior brother bestows the starlight to illuminate it, I don't know how long it will take to restore the West to its former glory."

Jie Yin was also silent.

The number of immeasurable is so huge that even immeasurable spiritual energy is difficult for them to obtain, let alone immeasurable merits.

Heng Ming said at this moment: "It's hard to say for others, but if it's you two junior brothers, I do have a way to help you gain merit quickly."

Jie Yin was speechless, and Zhunti said weakly, "Please give me some advice, Senior Brother."

However, he did not believe that Hengming had any way to quickly gain merit, let alone infinite merit.

Moreover, if there really was such a method, would Hengming be kind enough to tell them? Don't be kidding, compared to this, Zhunti would rather believe that Hengming wanted to kill them and seize the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Heng Ming smiled slightly and said, "You two junior brothers, don't be discouraged. As the saying goes, the way of heaven is fair. After the disaster in the West, you two junior brothers did not leave the West like others, but stayed in the barren land and worked hard to govern it. What you do, the way of heaven will see it. The two primordial purple qi on your bodies is the best proof.

You two brothers, why don't you swear to the Heaven that you will definitely govern the West to a certain level in the future? However, your strength is low now, so please ask Heaven to grant you merits first. If you continue like this, when you become a saint, are you still afraid that you can't bring the West back to its former state? Now it's just an early withdrawal, nothing great. "

The more Hengming spoke, the brighter the light in Zhunti's eyes became. He realized that this was indeed a good idea. Until finally, he completely got rid of his previous decadent appearance and began to plan with great interest what vows he should make.

But Jie Yin, who was standing by, was somewhat uneasy. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. He couldn't help but ask, "What if I can't fulfill my vow?"

Heng Ming smiled and said, "This is not difficult. After all, you have achieved the status of a saint. Even if you cannot fulfill your vow, the heaven will at most punish you insignificantly. It is impossible to completely destroy the two junior brothers, right?
The secret of Hongmeng Purple Qi is that it disappears as soon as it is used up. If you want to produce Hongmeng Purple Qi again, the Heavenly Dao must consume countless Honghuang origins, otherwise it will be difficult to do this. Now that Honghuang is shaking, how can it withstand such extraction? So this is a very good thing. "

Jie Yin continued to ask: "But what if the Heavenly Dao insists on investigating and really wants to punish us by knocking us off our holy positions?" The expression on Heng Ming's face suddenly changed, from his original amiable expression to an expressionless one. He stared at Jie Yin coldly, which made the two of them feel cold in their hearts, as if they were wrapped in a piece of eternal ice. It was not until a moment later that he moved away slightly.

Heng Ming snorted coldly and said, "My two junior brothers, you came to me to ask for the way to become a saint, not for me to come to you and give it to you. If you don't want to believe in my method, you can leave now. Yingzhou Island has been deserted recently, so it is inconvenient for you two junior brothers to stay for a long time."

Jie Yin was shocked and quickly apologized, saying, "Please calm down, Senior Brother. It's not that I don't want to believe it, but I was really feeling uneasy, so I offended you unintentionally."

Zhunti also said some nice words, but still failed to change Hengming's expression. Just as the atmosphere gradually became tense, Jin Chanzi, who was serving at the side, suddenly said: "The two masters did not do it on purpose. Ignorance is not a crime. Master might as well forgive them this time."

After hearing this, the Five-Colored Deer hurriedly pulled the corner of Jin Chanzi's clothes. These people are among the most powerful people in the prehistoric world today. Heng Ming, as the leader of the Xuan Sect, has transcended countless chess games. Now that the leader is angry, how can they, as boys, have a say?

Now instead of quickly keeping a low profile and pretending to be a turtle, Jin Chanzi even dared to persuade the leader. The Five-Colored Deer felt that Jin Chanzi was tired of living.

As expected, Hengming turned his head slightly to look at Jin Chanzi and said, "Now you dare to be my master. You are my boy, but you dare to help outsiders. I didn't expect that I would raise a borer. Since you speak for the two of them, then you should be their boy and don't come to me again."

After hearing this, Jin Chanzi immediately knelt down and cried, "Master, please forgive me this time! It was Jin Chanzi who was bewitched and offended you!"

But Heng Ming said mercilessly: "Since you two junior brothers don't want to believe me, please return to the West now. This boy is given to you. You can beat, scold or kill him as you like."

The two were helpless, but Heng Ming had already ordered them to leave, so they had no choice but to bow and salute, then left Yingzhou Island with Jin Chanzi.

The Five-Colored Deer brought a plate of Zhoutian Xingchen Divine Fruit to the side and said carefully, "Master, do you really want to kick Jin Chanzi out? Or do you just want to scare him?"

Heng Ming changed his angry look and said with a smile: "Of course I won't kick Jin Chanzi out. Now I just want to help him. Although he himself doesn't know it, one day, Jin Chanzi will return to Yingzhou Island. You just have to wait patiently."

Upon hearing that Hengming did not really drive Jin Chanzi out of Yingzhou Island, the Five-Colored Deer breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to go out to get another plate of Zhoutian Xingchen Divine Fruit, he was stopped by Hengming.

Heng Ming said, "Go and call Qiongqi over. I have something to tell him."

Although the Five-Colored Deer was puzzled, he still said, "Yes, sir."

Buzhou Mountain.

Standing on the first sacred mountain in the ancient times, Suiren not only did not feel any sense of grandeur, but his heart was full of difficulties.

"You said you would stay here and not migrate with me to the shores of the East China Sea?"

Suiren frowned and looked at the humans in front of him.

These human beings are the first three thousand human beings created by Nuwa, and can also be called the ancestors of mankind.

Each of the human ancestors was an extremely valuable guardian to the human race, so how could they be given up so easily? Therefore, Suiren flatly rejected the proposals of these human ancestors and even wanted to force them to go to the coast of the East China Sea with him.

The human ancestors were not annoyed. One of the female ancestors said with reason, "The reason why the Queen asked us to go to the coast of the East China Sea is for our sake. Although it is sacred, the danger is also very great. Our human race is weak, so we naturally have to leave.

But now the wilderness is vast. From here on the shore of the East China Sea, even if we have the cultivation of celestial immortals, we still feel that it is extremely far away. Even if you, the clan leader, have the cultivation of profound immortals, I am afraid you will find the journey extremely difficult, let alone us, the ancestors, and even the ordinary human beings? Instead of going on the road together, it is better to disperse and work slowly, so that the footprints of the human race will spread all over the wilderness. "

What this female human said was not without reason. At least Suiren thought it was correct after hearing it.

As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. If they all died on the way to the East China Sea, this lineage of human beings might have hope of developing again.

Although Suiren attached great importance to completing the orders given by Nuwa, as the first chief of the human race, he also had great feelings for the human race and did not just regard them as tools for his own success.

Suiren pondered for a moment and said, "Well, what you said is absolutely right. I have no reason to refuse. In this case, I will grant you a token as the patriarch of the human race. You can use it to start a new lineage in the human race. Have you thought about what name you want to give to this lineage? When I build the ancestral temple in the future, I will also record you."

The female ancestor smiled slightly and said, "My name is Jiao, but I would like to take the Holy Mother as my surname. From now on, I will be called Nüjiao, and this lineage will be called Youjiao from now on."

"There is Jiao."

After hearing this, Suiren nodded and said: "What a good name. In that case, you can take some of your people and settle here."

Under the call of Suiren, a total of thousands of people were willing to follow Nüjiao and other three ancestors of mankind here.

This number is already quite a lot. The current human race has only 129,600 people, plus 3,000 human ancestors, which makes it just over 130,000. For the entire prehistoric world, this number is not worth mentioning.

After giving Nüjiao a talisman, Suiren began to lead these human beings on their journey.

Fortunately, the road from this quagmire to leaving Mount Buzhou was fine. There was a trace of the aura left by Nuwa, which was so shocking that no matter what kind of ferocious beasts or poisonous insects, they dared not invade.

This also made these humans relax their vigilance a little. After all, they had just transformed and were not even half a day old. Naturally, they found everything new and interesting, and couldn't help but burst into laughter and singing.

But instead of relaxing, Suiren became even more vigilant.

This is because in some of the memories that Hengming left him, it was clearly stated that Mount Buzhou was the sacred place of the Wu clan, and Nuwa, in addition to being the Holy Mother of the human race, was also the Wa Emperor, one of the six emperors of the demon clan.

The wizards and liches are hostile to each other. Although Nuwa has never done anything for the demons, it is possible that some confused wizards will regard them as thorns in their eyes.
