"Is this the great opportunity for the Dao Lord?"
Seeing the "purple mountain" flying towards him, even the honest Feng Bingwen was dumbfounded, because the so-called mountain was actually a piece of the giant beast's back, which had been cut off and thrown to Feng Bingwen's side.
"Hey kid, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and catch it!"
A urging voice rang out, and Feng Bingwen glanced at it. It was none other than the Five Elements Immortal Wheel beside him. The tone of this spiritual artifact was clearly that of someone looking to take advantage of a bargain.
"Is this something I can accept?"
Although he was asking a question, Feng Bingwen acted swiftly. The entrance to the blessed land opened, directly taking in the hundred-zhang "purple mountain" that had been thrown over.
Compared to the massive dorsal fins on the back of that giant beast, which stretched like a mountain range, this "purple mountain" that he had taken into his blessed land could be called a small bump. However, for Feng Bingwen, this was already beyond his tolerance limit.
Under his gaze, he watched as the purple mountain crashed into a remote corner of the blessed land in the northwest. The area was desolate, with sand and gravel everywhere, and only a few sparse plants growing tenaciously in the sand and gravel.
But then, everything changed. When the purple meteorite, trailing its long tail, crashed onto this desolate wasteland, the power from the supreme being instantly began to erode this land.
The plants that were originally resilient and tenacious in growing on this wasteland were endowed with powerful spirituality and gained intelligence in a very short time. At the same time, their originally resilient but weak vitality began to surge.
The plant roots spread through the soil, quickly tearing through rocks and cracking the earth. And this transformation didn't stop there. As the plants began to climb and evolve towards higher levels of life, the soil, which had neither spirit nor life, was forcibly imbued with spirit.
One after another, monsters made of rock and soil tore through the ground, crawling out from the depths of the earth, roaring and gathering together.
Are all monsters from beyond this realm this terrifying?
Feng Bingwen, the master of this barren blessed land, looked rather grim. The ecosystem of his blessed land was already fragile. He had dragged that Kunpeng woman in and fought with her, damaging many places. He had to draw her blood three times to make up for the damage and even have a surplus.
But now, the Dao Lord has cut off a piece of the dorsal fin of that extraterrestrial creature and thrown it to him without doing anything about it. Although he doesn't know what the intention is, it has brought him a lot of trouble.
"What's the panic? I'm here."
Before Feng Bingwen could personally enter the blessed land to suppress the anomaly, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel guarding him transformed into a divine light and entered the land.
The radiant light descended from the sky. Although it couldn't deal with the main body of the extraterrestrial creature, it was no problem to suppress the small dorsal fin that had been cut off from its body.
The power emanating from that hundred-foot-tall purple mountain was immediately suppressed, and the northwest corner of this blessed land could no longer be called a wasteland, because it was covered with lush vegetation, only exceptionally large, and there were even giant beasts covered in rocks moving among them.
"Hahaha, kid, although this opportunity was given to you by the Dao Lord, it's not too much for me to get a share of the benefits since I helped you suppress it!"
"Tell me clearly first, what exactly are these so-called benefits?"
Feng Bingwen would certainly not agree immediately. Although this Purple Mountain risked causing his blessed land to collapse, the Dao Lord's words had already revealed that this was a great opportunity.
"That's easy. Weren't you so obsessed with the remains left behind after the gods turned to immortality? Look at this piece, isn't it much better than those god bones?"
"The Celestial God is indeed inferior to that extraterrestrial being, but the Dao bones left behind by the Celestial God are a matter of chance. They will not distort the surrounding beings, nor will they cause unpredictable mutations!"
Feng Bingwen acknowledged that the extraterrestrial being possessed a high level of life, but he did not believe that the things that fell from its body could be of use to him, and might even harm him.
"Take it slow. Do you think you can achieve it all at once? With your cultivation level, don't even think about such a good thing. Even those old guys would need to spend hundreds or thousands of years to slowly suppress and refine it."
As for your current cultivation level? Well, that's hard to say. After all, your realm will continue to improve, and the efficiency of refining will increase accordingly. However, it will probably take several hundred or even a thousand years. This is a great opportunity that will benefit you for five hundred years!
Is that so?
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen's eyes lit up.
In fact, without needing the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel to explain, he had already thought of a benefit: after killing beings that had been distorted and polluted by the power radiated from extraterrestrial beings, he would gain merit. In other words, this Purple Mountain was a merit-generating machine for him.
"certainly!"
"Hold on!"
Feng Bingwen personally entered the blessed land, using the repaired and perfected sword tower, restored to its peak condition, as his main means of attack, and began to slaughter the monsters that had been given life and intelligence.
Just as he had predicted, as soon as his killing sword was swung and the first monster was slain, the Heavenly Book immediately gave him feedback. However, unlike what he expected, his merit points were almost halved.
He would gain 300 merit points for beheading a monster of the same level in the mountain gate, but if he were to kill it in the blessed land, he would only gain 150 merit points.
That's not the key point. The key point is that the monsters born from the radiation of this Purple Mountain are not only far inferior to those in the Supreme Dao Sect in terms of both quantity and quality, but also much weaker. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.
The good thing is that he can handle the vast majority of monsters, and only a very few require the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel in conjunction with his authority as the Lord of Blessed Land to suppress them.
The downside, of course, is that the income from good deeds is not as much as expected.
Even so, Feng Bingwen was extremely pleased because he now had a stable source of merit points. Regularly clearing out monsters, though not much, was quite considerable over time.
The most ingenious part is that this meritorious income can last for hundreds of years. According to the description of the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel, even the immortals of the Supreme Dao would need such a long time to suppress and refine it.
"Kid, have you thought this through?"
"What have you decided?"
The young Taoist priest, who had unconsciously revealed a bright smile on his face, looked up at the immortal artifact that was radiating five-colored divine light, and his expression quickly turned serious.
"Give me a share of the profits! I'm an old man helping you suppress the anomaly, so it's not too much for me to accept some benefits!"
"That's outrageous!"
"Um?"
"You were originally the guardian immortal artifact that the Dao Lord arranged for me. These are things you should have done. If you don't do them, my path to cultivation will be ruined. If the Dao Lord holds you accountable, you won't be able to bear the responsibility. It's unreasonable for you to ask me for this benefit and share my opportunities!"
Feng Bingwen answered methodically. Although he didn't know what this immortal weapon was trying to do, he knew that what it coveted must be an unparalleled treasure, so refusing was the right thing to do.
"You brat, you're really not a human being!"
Upon hearing Feng Bingwen's response, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel immediately flew into a rage and became extremely angry.
"I have done so much for you before, and this is how you treat me?"
"Does your so-called dedication mean abandoning me halfway through to go tomb raiding with that old charlatan from the Heavenly Evolution Path?"
"Hey, didn't I get your permission? You agreed to it back then, so don't bring up the past!"
When this matter was brought up, Wu Xing Tian Lun immediately felt a little guilty, because he had failed to fulfill his duty as a protector.
"My initial agreement was based on a 50/50 split of what you gained in the Tomb of the Gods, but you came back empty-handed, and I didn't get any benefit at all!"
"Didn't you obtain a piece of a celestial relic?"
"That was the deposit that Tianyan Daozi gave me!"
Feng Bingwen rolled his eyes. He was still brooding over this, but what means did he have to deal with a spirit artifact? He kept this score in mind, and now was the time to settle it.
"But haven't you benefited a lot too? I'm helping you now! And the benefits I want won't actually affect your opportunities!"
"what would you like?"
Feng Bingwen examined the magical artifact.
"I want to copy the Dao essence contained within it. This won't affect you at all. Anyway, your cultivation level is so low that you wouldn't be able to comprehend the Dao essence even if I gave it to you. It's better to let this old man have it!"
"That would be acceptable."
Upon hearing this, Feng Bingwen nodded slightly and yielded.
He then reaped a wave of monsters created by the Purple Mountain, adding another sum to his already enormous amount of merit, before leaving the blessed land and heading to the outside world.
"Damn it!"
Feng Bingwen couldn't help but curse. He had just left the blessed land and appeared in the mountain gate when he saw a purple lightning bolt as thick as a man strike him ten feet away. For a cultivator, this was no different than flying past his scalp.
After cursing, Feng Bingwen set up his Xuan Guang and flew away from the center of the chaos. At this time, the situation in the mountain gate had changed. Perhaps it had endured enough divine punishment, or perhaps it had begun to adapt to the rules of heaven and earth. The giant beast that had been motionless before, only able to actively release its power or passively be beaten, finally started to move.
Although every movement he made resulted in even more intense divine strikes, the vast majority of the lightning bolts couldn't even cleave through his thick layer of scales. Only a very few lightning bolts could leave tiny lightning marks on his body, but these were quickly erased.
roar--
In an instant, Feng Bingwen, who could escape for dozens of miles, heard a roar behind him. He only had time to turn his head and look behind him before the Xuan light he was holding shattered and exploded in mid-air, and his body was thrown far away.
When gods fight, mortals suffer!
The roar of the giant beast sent Feng Bingwen flying, and he crawled out of a pile of rubble in a disheveled state, glancing back at the center of Luzhou with lingering fear.
The layers upon layers of tribulation clouds collapsed in the roar, though they were still stubbornly gathering. However, with Feng Bingwen's knowledge, he could see that the lightning sent down by the Heavenly Dao could not cause fatal damage to this giant beast; the main force of the attack still relied on those great immortals.
"A bunch of Gua Sha masters!"
Although this was a battle beyond his current strength and even his vision, it still didn't stop Feng Bingwen from making such a sarcastic remark.
The commotion from this battle was indeed immense; even the aftershocks were enough to send this cultivator, who was capable of overthrowing his superiors and defying the immortals, flying.
lingdian.
Despite the commotion, Feng Bingwen, judging from his keen eyesight, didn't seem to have caused any damage to the extraterrestrial behemoth; the behemoth's vitality was terrifyingly strong.
"Let's leave the mountain gate and avoid this place!"
When the giant beast was unable to move, Feng Bingwen still dared to charge forward under the protection of the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel. But now the monsters have been killed, leaving only a very small number of them barely clinging to life. The Dao soldiers from before have already retreated quickly.
Now that the giant beast can move, it can run as far as it wants. If some powerful aftershock were to accidentally hit it, it would be a disaster, not just being reduced to ashes, but its soul would be scattered.
"Run away!"
Once he made up his mind, Feng Bingwen returned to his cave dwelling first. He then took all his followers into his blessed land, which, although not entirely safe, was still better than his current mountain gate.
After tidying everything up, Feng Bingwen directly left Taishangdao in his cloud dragon chariot. He had no doubt that Taishangdao would ultimately win the final battle.
After all, it seems that only three immortals have shown up, while most others are still asleep. Once they are revived, the giant beast will not escape the fate of being dismembered and suppressed.
Although the outcome was certain, Feng Bingwen felt it was best to stay away until everything was settled. He was too small now, and he could easily be killed if he wasn't careful.
"Ugh! I'm a little sleepy!"
Feng Bingwen, who was sitting cross-legged on the cloud dragon carriage, had just left the Taishangdao Mountain Gate when he felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him. His consciousness became hazy, and he wanted to drift off to sleep.
"This is……"
The young Taoist suddenly realized that with his current level of cultivation, he no longer needed to sleep. Meditation and sitting meditation were enough to replace everything. His desire to enter a dream was due to interference from other forces. Since he had just left the mountain gate, the force that approached him must have good intentions.
With this thought in mind, Feng Bingwen stopped resisting and fell asleep, entering a dreamland. Then, just as he had expected, familiar mountains and rivers appeared before his eyes, then passed by, and finally, a magnificent immortal mountain that stretched to the sky and was adorned with a seven-colored divine rainbow came into view.
The gourd vines looked half-dead, the thatched hut was deserted, and there was a young man in blue robes reclining on a rock.
"You seem to have brought something with you? What happened at your Taishangdao sect?"
The young man in blue robes sounded somewhat anxious, even impatient, lacking his usual composure and calmness.
