Inside the Feng family mansion, Feng Bingwen stared expectantly at the Heavenly Book. The moment he made his simple wish, the Heavenly Book fell silent for a moment, and then it changed.
Wow~
This was an unprecedentedly blazing golden flame, the light of which even dimmed the billions of rays of light emanating from the Heavenly Book, as if a sun had fallen into Feng Bingwen's consciousness.
"Damn! What is this?"
Seeing this change, which was both reasonable and unexpected, Feng Bingwen's smiling face suddenly froze. This time, the flames he ignited by his wish were so intense that they almost enveloped the Heavenly Book.
This should have been a scene that brought Feng Bingwen great joy, but in this flame that was as bright as the sun, he clearly saw a faint but tenacious wisp of crimson mixed into the golden flame.
This time, in addition to his good deeds, his evil deeds also increased dramatically as he made his wish. These evil deeds were brought to him by the karmic debts incurred by the villains he had unintentionally saved.
Misdeeds: Twenty-one thousand eight hundred and twenty ( )
This evil deed, which had already exceeded 20,000, was now rapidly diminishing, turning into a streak of scarlet that mixed into the golden flames as brilliant as the blazing sun.
Although Feng Bingwen had voluntarily transformed karma into calamity, it was all within a controllable range. Not only did it not cause any damage, but it also allowed him to benefit from it.
But the situation was completely unexpected by Feng Bingwen. He couldn't understand how his wish to achieve Immortal Foundation Establishment had triggered his evil deeds. It didn't make sense.
Although the manifestation of evil deeds is not necessarily a calamity and may even be accompanied by benefits, compared to good deeds, evil deeds are indeed risky. Therefore, Feng Bingwen felt a little numb and uneasy at this moment.
This is an act of evil worth 21,000. If it were all burned, no matter what kind of calamity it would cause, Feng Bingwen had no confidence that he could withstand it.
He wished to become stronger and obtained the Dragon Balls, which cost him a little over 13,000 merits. His 21,000 merits, transformed into a calamity, are beyond description.
However, what reassured him was that an even larger amount of good deeds were also burned along with them. Things weren't so bad; there was still room for maneuver.
But that inconspicuous wisp of crimson mixed in with the golden flames planted a needle in Feng Bingwen's heart, making him quite wary.
Since the Heavenly Book responded to his wish to establish his foundation, it means that this matter can definitely be accomplished.
However, the evil deeds that also burned along with it made Feng Bingwen realize that the Immortal Foundation Establishment was probably not as simple as he had imagined, and it was unlikely that he could just sit back and enjoy the fruits of the divine object falling from the sky.
Good deeds and evil deeds burned together, becoming the fuel to fulfill his wish. This was the first time, so the way his wish was fulfilled was probably unprecedented as well.
"As expected, even with the Heavenly Book, becoming an immortal is by no means easy!"
Feng Bingwen let out a long breath and regained his composure after a brief moment of astonishment.
He has seen a lot in his life now, and even without cultivation, his perspective is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators.
Thinking about it calmly, it's not surprising. Once you've forged a foundation for immortality, becoming an immortal isn't difficult. It would be too unfair for him to become an immortal so smoothly. Some tribulations would be normal.
Name: Feng Bingwen
Good deeds: 8,725
Misdeeds: 866
This ball of crimson flame burned for seven days and seven nights before suddenly going out. It was a little shorter than when the Dragon Ball fell, but the intensity of the two flames was completely different, so there was no comparison.
The remaining good and bad deeds after the flames died down inexplicably reassured Feng Bingwen. Good deeds outnumbered bad deeds by tenfold, possessing an overwhelming suppressive power over them, preventing any trouble from arising.
In this one round of prayers alone, he consumed a staggering 490,000 good deeds and 21,000 evil deeds. He didn't have to worry about how to gradually erase them, which made him quite carefree. Bullshit.
There is nothing truly comfortable in this world.
Having grown accustomed to the conveniences provided by the Heavenly Book, Feng Bingwen experienced its cunning for the first time. He also felt pressured as he stared at the ever-growing and changing list of good and evil deeds.
The Book of Good and Evil states that good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded.
During the calamity of the Dragon King's flood, he summoned the spirit of the old mountain, who helped the government control the epidemic more quickly when resources were not allocated in time. This was a great merit.
The fact that the good deeds he had performed, which had grown to 490,000 and which he had used, is proof of this.
This was an immense benefit, and all he had to do was summon the old mountain spirit and persuade him to sacrifice himself.
It's a very simple operation, practically risk-free, and much safer than facing that golden-winged bird.
However, at this moment, Feng Bingwen looked at the good and evil deeds on the Heavenly Book that had not stopped growing and changing, and suddenly realized the consequences of his actions.
Cause and effect are intertwined!
This time, the Dragon King helped people during the flood, and he also invited the current Medicine King to suppress the plague. Because of his intervention, how many people who should have died survived?
How many?
Feng Bingwen didn't know, and he couldn't calculate it for the time being, but it was far more than the number of thugs he had taught a lesson in Qingshan County. The number of people he had saved was in the tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.
What an enormous cause and effect this is!
From now on, the words and actions of those who should have died because of the disaster but survived because of Feng Bingwen's intervention will affect Feng Bingwen's cultivation.
When these people do good deeds, Feng Bingwen will receive some of the good karma as a reward; but when these people do evil deeds, the karma will also fall on Feng Bingwen's head.
This is cause and effect!
A massive karmic event affecting tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people!
It was precisely because of this enormous karmic debt that Feng Bingwen was able to make a wish for the Foundation Establishment of Immortal Rank with 490,000 good deeds and 21,000 evil deeds, thus gaining the possibility of becoming an immortal.
But is that all?
No, this is just the beginning.
These tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people, and their offspring are also causally connected to Feng Bingwen, because without Feng Bingwen, they could not have been born.
This is a terrifying karmic connection that is almost impossible to sever; even immortals and Buddhas would feel their scalps tingle upon seeing it.
If a ruthless and decisive powerful being were entangled in such karma, he might even risk enduring a terrifying calamity to slaughter all those with whom he had karmic ties.
Only in this way can the cause and effect be severed. Or, the party that intervenes will perish and their essence will vanish.
Tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of ordinary people today are just ordinary folks. Most of them, and their descendants, will simply live and multiply as ordinary people in this mortal world.
However, with such a large base, it is inevitable that outstanding individuals will emerge, such as those who become high-ranking officials, heroes who become kings in chaotic times, butchers, or even cultivators who step into the world of cultivation.
As long as the bloodline continues to reproduce and perpetuate, who can deny such a possibility?
Regardless of what kind of person he gives birth to, as the source who once interfered with all of this, Feng Bingwen must also bear a part of the consequences, whether good or bad!
"Luckily, I have the Heavenly Book!"
Upon closer reflection, Feng Bingwen suddenly understood why immortals and Buddhas do not arbitrarily interfere with mortal affairs, but rather let them develop as they please. They are unwilling to bear the consequences, because the burden is too heavy!
But Feng Bingwen is different. He possesses the Heavenly Book, and with its power, he can trace the origin of every good and bad deed. He can intervene and prevent karmic disasters to the greatest extent possible.
"However, this kind of advantage is not so easy to come by."
When Feng Bingwen first received this huge sum of good deeds, he was quite excited, thinking that he had found a way to quickly accumulate resources for spiritual practice.
But now it seems that this method of saving mortals and gaining great merit is a complete trap. Even if immortals or Buddhas were to fall into it by accident, they might not be able to get out and might even end up drowning themselves.
"Be more careful next time!"
Feng Bingwen reminded himself of this, and after calming himself down, he began to patiently wait for the result of his prayer.
However, after waiting for half a month, he did not receive the Immortal Foundation Establishment opportunity he had been hoping for. Instead, he received an invitation. An invitation from the Mysterious True Medicine King to establish his own residence.
This Medicine King, who had just been bestowed a title by imperial decree, received incense offerings that were unimaginable to ordinary city gods, and in less than a month, he created his own blessed land.
The speed at which this progress was so rapid was unimaginable for cultivators outside the path of divine cultivation.
"Go back and tell the Medicine King that I will definitely be there on time in three days!"
Inside the Feng family mansion, Feng Bingwen looked at the flower spirit acting as a messenger in front of him and responded in this way.
"Young master, I'll go back and reply now."
"Um!"
Feng Bingwen nodded calmly.
However, a little flower fairy with radiant golden hair darted out from behind him, one hand on her hip, the other pointing angrily at the flower fairy who was about to turn and leave, and accusing him.
"traitor!"
How dare you come back?
"Little Yellow Chrysanthemum!"
"Don't you dare call me by my name, you shameless bastard!"
The flower spirit, startled by the reprimand, instinctively shrank back, but then quickly remembered something, straightened his back, and began to shout loudly.
"What did I do? I just went back to Grandpa's side. I didn't betray the young master!"
"Pah, shameless! How many times did the young master feed you back then? As soon as Grandpa Medicine King came to call you, you immediately followed him!"
Little Yellow Chrysanthemum, whose beauty far surpassed that of ordinary women, spat directly at the flower spirit.
"ungrateful!"
“I have not been ungrateful. From now on, as long as you give me your orders, I will go through fire and water without hesitation.”
The little flower fairy shouted loudly, resolutely refusing to admit that she was that treacherous and shameless person.
"Alright, Boyao, these are their own choices, let them go!"
Feng Bingwen didn't care at all, and pressed down on the little flower spirit on his shoulder, who even wanted to rush up and fight with him.
