Chapter 1438 The Power of Karma [First Update]
"good."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, then looked at the Demonic Blood-Transforming Divine Sword in his hand and said, "What should we do with these two treasures?"
Jiang Linglong pondered for a moment, then said: "The Demonic Blood Sword is stained with the blood of countless humans. We can just destroy it."
"The Heavenly Demon Killing Immortal Sword is not forged by the souls of the human race, but it can be given to brother Nianchuan clan for sacrifice."
"Then it's settled."
Chen Nianzhi nodded, and the matter was settled.
In the following time, everyone continued to refine the Immortal Treasure. After a thousand years, they finally completed the refining of the Immortal Treasure Array needed for refining.
In the end, everyone used local materials to refine thousands of metal fairy treasures.
Chen Nianzhi drove these fairy treasures into the blessed land, used these fairy treasures as formation eyes to set up a large formation, and began to refine this golden evil blessed land.
In fact, when this formation was set up, Chen Nianzhi felt slightly certain in his heart.
With the blessing of this formation, Chen Nianzhi can mobilize more than half of the power of the blessed land, and even if the Earth Immortal Dzogchen attacks, it will be difficult to break it.
After the formation was completed, Chen Nianzhi began to activate the formation to continuously refine the blessed land. More than 20,000 years passed before the blessed land was completely refined.
After thoroughly refining the blessed land, Chen Nianzhi tried to bring it into the earthly immortal world. However, before collecting the blessed land, he felt a trace of inexplicable karma pressing on him.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Linglong also noticed something strange about him and couldn't help but ask.
Chen Nianzhi shook his head and said with a serious face: "Taking blessed land into the immortal world is also a big cause and effect for the immortal world."
"If I take away this Golden Evil Earth Vein, I must return it to heaven and earth before the next Dao Tribulation, otherwise the calamity will be inflicted on me, which will only increase the number of calamities."
Speaking of this, Chen Nianzhi activated his qi-gazing technique and took a look at the calamity qi on his body.
Upon seeing this, he was immediately startled, but he saw five layers of black clouds covering his head, and six rays of merit shining brightly.
The origin of this pure light of merit is extraordinary. In the past, Chen Nianzhi pacified the demonic calamity of Ziyin and helped Ziyin to advance in the world. He obtained a total of three clear lights of merit.
After that, when he was going through the great tribulation, Dai Tian used the Great Circular Way, killed a large number of immortals, and obtained three more pure rays of merit.
This clear light can avoid disasters and suppress the evil spirits of heaven and earth, which is very valuable to the ancestors of the earth immortals.
Many ancestors of the Earthly Immortal Realm have only eighty-nine virtues accumulated over thousands of years.
And these black clouds are transformed by boundless calamity energy. Often, the more black clouds above the head of an immortal, the greater their own karma will be.
When Chen Nianzhi was cultivating the Hunyuan Immortal Body, he successively refined five top-quality immortal-level earth veins. Therefore, he had boundless karma and accumulated five levels of karmic evil energy.
At present, relying on the blessing of the pure light of merit, Chen Nianzhi has suppressed the five levels of karmic evil for the time being. However, once the karmic evil continues to increase and exceeds the number of pure light of merit, it may bring about boundless karmic evil.
Jiang Linglong also saw this, and couldn't help but said with some worry: "If you refine this blessed land, you will gain an additional layer of karma. Why don't you leave it to me to refine it?"
"No need." Chen Nianzhi shook his head and sighed: "Except for my Hunyuan Wuji Rules, there are probably not many people in the world who can refine this blessed land, and it will be difficult for you to resolve this evil aura."
With that said, Chen Nianzhi no longer hesitated and included the Earthly Immortal Blessed Land into the Earthly Immortal World.
As he took away the Immortal Blessed Land, he immediately found that there were six black clouds above his head. The boundless karma was even intertwined with the clear light of merit, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.
Not only that, Chen Nianzhi even had some enlightenment, and vaguely sensed a ray of heaven's will.
This wisp of heavenly will told him that if he did not return to this earthly immortal land before the calamity, he might have to leave the Qingcang Immortal Realm with this earthly immortal land.
Then this sixth karma evil spirit will turn into dozens of karma evil spirits. At that time, Chen Nianzhi will be rejected by the will of heaven. Not only will he have boundless karma, but the calamity will be extremely dangerous.
"It seems that we have to find a way to get more merit and virtue."
Sensing the aura of karma coming upon him, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but whisper slowly, showing a somewhat dignified expression.
In this world, as long as a monk embarks on the path of cultivation and consumes the resources of heaven and earth to practice, he will definitely be surrounded by the evil spirit of karma.
These karmas cannot be undone because as long as the monks are alive, the resources they consume will not return to heaven and earth.
It's just that when righteous monks practice, they will feed back the world to a certain extent, gathering the power of merit to offset the evil spirits of karma.
Moreover, most of the resources, elixirs, and other things needed by righteous monks are cultivated by themselves, so there is very little karma from heaven and earth on them.
Just like Chen Nianzhi, his practice has consumed a huge amount of resources so far, but most of these resources have not caused serious damage to heaven and earth, so the karma contaminated by them is not much.
In his current cultivation, most of his magic power comes from the world he created, the rules are self-understood, and the Tao and Fruit are the result of a lifetime of accumulated skills, and the karma contained in them is not too great.
Only the Hunyuan Immortal Body was contaminated with boundless karma. He refined five top-grade earth veins and naturally received five levels of karma.
In this case, unless he himself perishes or loses all his cultivation, this karma cannot be eliminated.
The difference is that demonic cultivators do not cultivate merit, but can cultivate with the help of boundless karma. Therefore, demonic cultivators are prone to disasters, but their cultivation speed and success rate are far faster than those of righteous immortals.
The two paths of good and evil are different, which also makes the two kinds of immortals have different ways of practice.
If a righteous sage wants to practice smoothly, he must obtain the clear light of merit and virtue to offset his own bad karma.
Generally speaking, righteous monks do not dare to let the power of karma exceed the power of their own merits, otherwise disasters will befall them, and they will die if they are not careful.
Therefore, generally high-level immortals attach great importance to their own merits and karma, and will not arbitrarily kill people whose merits have been brought to their bodies.
Take Jiang Linglong for example. She now has five rays of pure merit and virtue, but only one aura of karma. She can be regarded as a righteous immortal with great merit and small karma.
If it's during a great tribulation, that's it. If anyone kills him outside of a great tribulation, his merits and karma will be increased and subtracted, and the four karmic evil spirits will be increased in vain.
Therefore, beings above the Earthly Immortal level attach great importance to their own merits and often do not easily kill those with higher merits.
Those powerful immortals will not attack low-level immortals arbitrarily, which is also related to the power of merit and karma.
For so many years, the Lord of Liuming Mars Palace has not taken action against Chen Nianzhi and others. To a certain extent, he does not want to be contaminated by the power of this karma.
Chen Nianzhi's current situation is very contradictory. He now possesses both the clear light of six paths of merit and the aura of six paths of karma.
