There were still endless rocks flying before my eyes.
He was just about to continue intercepting the flying stones, but the debris of the underworld that was originally hitting him head-on made a strange turn and passed by him.
The two pieces of underworld fragments below are still being squeezed together.
The huge and incalculable kinetic energy is still being released crazily.
But Jiang Li, who was in the most dangerous area, felt unexpectedly less pressure.
After removing the initial fragments, from a certain point on, fewer and fewer stones flew towards him.
Even though the surroundings were like heavy rain and pear blossoms, he was in a place where no water got in his way.
There was no pattern to the spreading energy impact, but each time it was only where he was that was hit the least.
It might be a coincidence if one or two stones changed direction, but if it happened frequently, there must be another force involved.
Jiang Li looked at the center of the collision between the two pieces of netherworld as if he was investigating something. Another energy spread outwards because it was squeezed to the end.
Under the terrifying impact of the pure kinetic energy conversion, strands of golden threads began to rise from every place on the two continents.
Jiang Li recognized these silk threads; they were the power of merit that he was very familiar with.
Don't be fooled by the golden light shining brightly in his eyes. Others won't be able to see even a little bit of it.
Only someone like him who possesses great merit can see it directly.
Those golden threads of merit rose high into the sky and gathered together in the void of the underworld, gradually forming a large ball of light without a fixed shape.
According to a rough estimate, the power of merit in it is at least ten times higher than the total amount of merit he has.
Needless to say, it must have been the power of merit that protected him, which was why there were so many rocks flying around him.
He was not wrong in his previous guess. Reuniting in the underworld was indeed a thing of great merit.
If Jiang Li could obtain all the merit power above, his merit status might be able to jump two levels.
But that is obviously unlikely.
In order to complete this earth-shaking feat within an acceptable time, Jiang Li brought in a lot of people to help.
The distribution of this merit is not something he can decide just by saying so.
Although, he is definitely the one who has contributed the most among all people.
But you certainly can’t get all of them.
After all, the Temple of the Gods had put in a lot of effort and attracted nearly 200 million monks.
How could this world ignore their contributions?
Buzz! At this moment, the energy that was constantly exploding below suddenly subsided, and the number of rocks flying up due to the compression suddenly decreased. The wildly fluctuating space around was also smoothed out by an invisible big hand, and soon calmed down.
Logically speaking, the kinetic energy of the two pieces of underworld fragments is far from being completely consumed, and the violent collision should continue for some time.
But under the influence of some force, the reactions caused by the continental collision are rapidly disappearing.
In Jiang Li's earth spirit vision, he could clearly see that at the junction of the two pieces of underworld fragments, an extremely thick new earth vein appeared.
The two types of earth vein forces that were originally fluctuating violently became entangled and connected together in excitement, like the reunion of old friends.
The earth veins of the two huge pieces of land were channeled into each other and gradually began to transform into a complete whole, instead of colliding and hurting each other like two individuals.
If there were no forces such as earth veins and spiritual energy, the most likely scenario for two continents of such terrifying size to collide at such a speed would be that both would fall apart and break into countless small pieces.
Perhaps, as time goes by, relying on gravity, those fragments will slowly reassemble into a new underworld continent after many years, but that is not the result Jiang Li wants to see.
Fortunately, this is the world of cultivating immortals, and everything cannot be measured solely from a scientific perspective.
The force of the collision of the two continents was channeled by the earth veins, and all kinds of earth-shattering scenes were short-lived, leaving only countless magnificent wonders on this land.
With this new vein of land as the starting point, the two continents are blending with each other, and the environments, which originally had some differences, are each undergoing changes.
The spiritual energy and yin energy of the two pieces of underworld that were put together again increased.
Everything is about to be settled.
The ball of golden light of merit in the void above finally began to fall.
It was as if an invisible sword had swept across, cutting off half of the merits with the first stroke.
Jiang Li was a little surprised. Was his contribution so great? If we only counted the power he had contributed, it shouldn't be half of it. It would probably be less than 40%.
But since the Lord of Heaven had given it to him, how could Jiang refuse it? He immediately opened his arms to receive it.
But what shocked him was that the golden light did not fall on him, but missed him and fell into the underworld below where smoke and dust were still rolling! This... ? Who took advantage of me? Jiang Li was stunned. The biggest piece of cake was not his! ? Is there any hidden character who has been secretly doing things in the dark?
After so many years of debut, it has always been him, Alliance Leader Jiang, who has cheated others. He has never suffered such a big loss! Don't let him find out. If he finds out who it is and snatched the opportunity he worked so hard to get, he will definitely...
However, before his murderous intent could boil over, the emotions that had just been brewing were interrupted.
Then, below it, a strange wave that was unfamiliar yet slightly familiar appeared.
Jiang Li suddenly remembered that in the process of his territorial consolidation, there was indeed a person who had been involved in major events and whose contribution was greater than his.
Huala La ~ Wrapped in brilliant golden light, a pitch-black chain flew out from the center of the collision between the two underworld continents.
The chain swayed flexibly in the air, like a dog that had been locked up at home for a long time and was interested in everything.
After playing by himself for a while, he noticed Jiang Li standing not far away.
The black chain immediately flew over excitedly, circling and rubbing around Jiang Li, just like a pet, and even acted cute.
This chain is of course the Dragon Prison Chain! Yes, Nuwa refined the five-colored divine stones to repair the sky, and even the remaining stones received a lot of merit.
The Dragon Prison Lock occupies the most important position in the process of piecing together the underworld, so it is reasonable for it to get half of the merit.
At this moment, a sword tip suddenly appeared from Jiang Li's head.
The Immortal Slaying Sword also sensed the change in its old friend and came out to greet the Dragon Prison Lock.
When the Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword was first forged, it did not have a hilt. Instead, a ring was left at the original hilt's location, which interlocked with the Dragon-Prison Lock.
If you must say it, these two magic weapons can be considered as "childhood sweethearts".
Now that the old friend has also awakened his intelligence, the Immortal-Slaying Sword also shows signs of happiness.
These two guys want to combine again to try out their combined power.
The Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword returned to his head, and the Dragon-Imprisoning Chain still loved to be wrapped around his waist.
This is a magical artifact from ancient times, and Jiang Li has tried many methods to refine it again.
He also constantly nourishes it with spiritual energy, hoping to restore some of its former power.
But just like dried grapes that cannot be restored to their original state even if soaked in water, his actions had almost no effect.
And because of its indestructible nature and the fact that the current means of the immortal cultivation world are unable to melt it, this matter has been delayed.
But now, under the power of merit that turns decay into magic, this once immortal weapon has come back to life, and there seems to be hope of regaining its former power.
Jiang Li stretched out his own soul, which was actively received by the Dragon Prison Lock and incorporated into its core. Without any difficulty, he completed the next step of re-recognition of the master.
After being wrapped around the waist for so long, the chain has not forgotten its owner.
After a while, the second ray of merit and spiritual light also descended.
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
Another 30% of the merits were cut off from the light ball above.
This time, Jiang Li finally did not encounter any surprises.
Finally, the remaining two merits turned into a sky full of stars and flew towards the nearly 200 million monks who had participated in this event.
Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful about this.
When 20% of the merit is divided among so many people, once it reaches each individual, they won't feel any difference at all, and it will only slowly dissipate over time.
To dissipate merits in this way is tantamount to squandering natural resources.
Helpless, Jiang Li had no way to stop it and could only study the merit light that fell into his body.
[Put together the fragments of the underworld, and be rewarded by the underworld. Your life span will be increased by 3,000 years, and the status of the underworld blue lotus (first grade) will be applied to yourself. ]
[Underworld Blue Lotus (First Grade): Increases affinity with the Underworld... , receives the title of First Grade Merit Underworld Official, is granted an Underworld fief of 3,000 miles, is exempted from the rules of the Underworld below the First Grade, and gains the skill of enlightening the Underworld Soldiers. Duration: 30 years] (-+)
Just when Jiang Li wanted to see what was on top of the blessing of supreme merit.
The ball of merit that descended did not merge with his original merit aura, but instead gathered into a separate ball on its own.
Only after the two came closer did he discover that the colors of the two powers of merit were slightly different and not exactly the same.
It turns out that merit and virtue are different.
It seems that since the Dharma Ending Age, the changes have been more than just the concentration of spiritual energy and the rules of heaven and earth.
The consciousness of heaven and earth in the underworld and the consciousness of heaven and earth in the Kyushu continent, which is the so-called way of heaven, are not the same. They should be two independently existing individuals.
Even the originally complete Three Realms and Six Paths should have all fallen apart and formed their own independent heavenly paths.
It was like the Heavenly Dao of the Asura Realm, changing the rules and constantly instigating the Asura Lords to attack the Kyushu Continent.
After the cultivators here repel the invasion of the Asura Realm, the Heavenly Dao of the Kyushu Continent will reward them.
If these two are the same heavenly law, then isn't that like taking off pants to fart and looking for trouble?
The situation in the underworld and Kyushu continent should be similar.
However, the two are closer, and their relationship is better than that of the Asura Realm.
The merit that had just entered his body slowly condensed into a first-grade green lotus of merit that was invisible to the naked eye above Jiang Li's head.
In the future, if he obtains more merits from the underworld, he will continue to condense the green lotus like this.
Those who have been blessed with the highest merits in the Kyushu Continent should also condense into similar merit lotuses when they reach the next level.
I don't know what the relationship is between this netherworld blue lotus and the Buddhist treasure of the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus in ancient legends? The initial duration of this state of [Netherworld Blue Lotus] has been increased to thirty years, compared to the previous general seven days of merit blessing.
The gap here would be huge if the Heavenly Dao of Kyushu Continent was not too stingy.
It should be that after the merits are transformed into blue lotus, they become more solid and no longer easy to dissipate.
Besides the effects that overlapped with the blessings of superior merit, this state also directly made him a meritorious official in the underworld.
And you can own a piece of underworld land with a range of 3,000 miles. Although this land cannot be moved after it is selected, its effect is comparable to that of the rate of land flag.
And the attribute of being exempt from the rules of the underworld is also easy to understand.
He had previously wondered why the Lord of Beixuan Palace, Qiushui, could walk freely in the underworld as a living person, and the rules of places like Beiyin Mountain and the City of the Dead were completely useless to him.
Now he had found the answer. It was the power of merit in the underworld that exempted him from these rules.
Of course, the effect of a first-grade green lotus is far from comparable to that of the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha.
However, there is a clear method to improve this state of merit.
As long as Jiang Li continues to find ways to piece together other fragments of the underworld, he will be able to continue to gain a large amount of underworld merit.
If he could complete the reunion of the underworld by his own efforts, he might be qualified to sit on the position of the new "King of Hell".
In addition to these, he also acquired a skill specifically used to create ghost soldiers.
This method of enlightening the ghost soldiers is more advanced than Jiang Li's magic of enlightening demons back then. The ghost soldiers enlightened are equivalent to "civil servants" officially canonized by the underworld.
In addition to the most basic strength improvement, the Yin Soldiers also possess special deterrent capabilities. Even ghosts that are ten times stronger than the Yin Soldiers dare not act rashly.
Moreover, even a strong man would not dare to kill a large number of Yin soldiers easily.
Because killing an official "civil servant" would shorten one's life.
In ancient times, if you killed the ghost soldiers casually, each one would cost you a hundred years of life, and after death you would at least go to the eighteen levels of hell.
However, in order to enlighten the ghost soldiers, in addition to the necessary spiritual energy and Yin energy, one must also consume one's own merits in the underworld.
The power of merit is so precious, who would be willing to use it casually?
It is also because of this that the evil soldiers are not allowed to proliferate.
Most of the big bosses in the underworld would only accept the enlightenment of the dead who already have merits, because that way they would not consume their own merits.
As for Jiang Li, after pressing the "plus" sign for five seconds, he was now thinking, should he enlighten all the ghosts in Fengdu City? There are still some revisions to be made later, but it will definitely be too late before midnight.
