Chapter 837 - 837 293 Dazhi's Clever Trick

837: Chapter 293: Dazhi’s Clever Trick 837: Chapter 293: Dazhi’s Clever Trick As all eyes between heaven and earth were drawn to those two large meteorites,

On the Immortal Isle, shrouded in layers of formations,

Li Dazhi, before he departed, had activated all the formations on this land, unleashing countless streaks of light that furiously bombarded the Chi You Demon Soul.

It was at this moment that several figures tore through the fabric of the cosmos and arrived at this place.

The Calamity Venerable, maintaining his thirty-six-foot-tall golden body, disregarded all assaults and pressed the Chi You Demon Soul back into a stone sculpture.

Daoist Mosquito brought forth a brocade box.

As it glimmered with golden light, the stone sculpture fell into the box, and Daoist Mosquito effortlessly suppressed it.

“Let’s go back,”

the Calamity Venerable murmured softly, turning to look towards the West.

Daoist Mosquito showed hesitation but still spoke quietly, “Venerable, if they fail to stop these two ancient celestial fragments, then…

the karmic hindrance here might doom us forever, and we might be directly destroyed by the Heavenly Dao.”

“What’s there to fear?”

The Calamity Venerable said with a smile:

“Aren’t they desperately blocking it?

“Don’t underestimate the love for their people by the Human Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor.

“It’s just a pity that the Sect Hierarch’s Dao Charm has taken root there.

It’s not a good opportunity to try killing an emperor.”

After saying this, the Calamity Venerable turned and walked away, with Daoist Mosquito closely following his steps, quietly departing from the island.

The Calamity Venerable traveled stealthily beyond the heavens with the three fiendish demons.

Daoist Mosquito couldn’t help but ask again:

“But Venerable, if they intend to harm us, what should we do?

“Humans reproduce rapidly, with food and such being the only restraints on their numbers.

Even if one-tenth of humankind were to be lost, they would soon be replenished.

“If they would rather sacrifice these mortals to have the heavenly condemnation strike us down, what then?”

“Mosquito, you don’t understand the nature of the Human Race,”

said the Calamity Venerable, dissolving his thirty-six-foot-tall golden body and resuming the appearance of a gentle and mild Daoist, hands clasped behind his back as he traveled through the clouds.

He spoke leisurely:

“They have a hypocritical impulse to protect others at the expense of themselves.

Ultimately, it comes from how weak humans are, necessitating that some of them consider self-sacrifice and mutual protection.

“Xuanyuan Huangdi was originally an ancient divine turtle.

After reincarnating as a human, he was influenced by this ambient human ethos.

“So, in times like this, you only need to consider how to create troubles that they can’t immediately resolve.

There is no need to worry that they will abandon all living creatures.”

Daoist Mosquito frowned and asked, “But what if they really can’t resolve these troubles?

Then we…”

“For beings like us, who have stained our hands with the blood of countless creatures, reincarnation is not a bad option.”

The Calamity Venerable said with a smile:

“There is a secret realm within the Sea of Blood that allows our souls to reincarnate without creating too much karmic hindrance for the Master’s Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus.

By expending some incense merits, one can escape the punishment of the Heavenly Dao.

“Why fear, Mosquito?

There are plenty of paths to take.”

“Yes, Venerable, forgive me for my melancholy,”

Daoist Mosquito lowered his head in response, his eyes filled with a hint of helplessness.

Daoist Mosquito of course knew that the seemingly kind-hearted Daoist before him was actually a mad fiend.

Indeed, it had always been this way since ancient times.

As they traveled stealthily through the void, suddenly feeling something, black flames appeared around them.

Daoist Mosquito and the other two fiendish demons’ expressions changed drastically.

As the flames were about to scorch their Dao Bodies, the shadows of the Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus appeared above their heads, suppressing all the flames.

“Where did this karmic hindrance come from…”

The Calamity Venerable raised an eyebrow lightly, murmuring:

“A miscalculation, I had forgotten that Li Ping’an, the almost-Heavenly Emperor, is now capable of distributing karmic hindrance and divine merit.

“Yet the Master’s Golden Lotus is nowhere near filled.

“This Heavenly Emperor is not to be underestimated…

Let’s go back and continue with Chi You.”

…

Meanwhile,

Above the clouds in the East Continent, streaks of seven-colored radiance fell from the sky, entering the bodies of the many beings who participated in intercepting the meteorites.

The largest bundle of divine merit flew towards the depths south of the East Sea, naturally seeking the Tongtian Sect Leader.

In the southern part of the West Continent, a similar situation unfolded, with the two largest strands of Heavenly Dao’s divine merit bestowed upon Nüwa Niangniang and the Queen Mother of the West.

On the East Continent, those who received the most merit were Immortal Huanglong and Li Ping’an himself, followed by Mother Gui Ling, Xuanyuan Huangdi, Qing Su, and others.

This distribution of Heavenly Dao’s divine merit followed the rules set by Li Ping’an after the previous incident with the northern witches.

So, when Li Ping’an received the merit and looked towards the Lingxiao Palace on the Spirit Platform again, he was somewhat surprised to find…

The Merit Treasure Pond was filled!

My goodness, the Heavenly Dao directly poured twenty percent of the total merit into the Lingxiao Palace!

Upon closer calculation, Li Ping’an hadn’t lost anything and could even earn an extra share of merit.

On the Western Sect’s side, the Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus was strained again.

The merit descended by the Heavenly Dao was not insignificant; similarly, the karmic hindrance sent to the fiendish demons was of equal quantity and was borne by the Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus.

‘I wonder where the limit of these Innate Treasures lies.’

As Li Ping’an was thinking thus, several streaks of light had already descended nearby.

Li Dazhi was muttering, “I’ve taken a big loss this time—lost hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones,” advancing alongside Tianli the elder.

Qing Su had bandaged Guiling’s wounds and, incidentally, had tied a white silk ribbon into a bow on Guilingling’s palm.

“Are you alright, Ping’an?

Any injuries?”

“I’m fine,” Li Ping’an asked, “Were there many casualties on the East Sea side?”

“No casualties, no conflicts.”

Li Dazhi cursed:

“These fiendish demons are getting smarter, stealing without robbing, never showing themselves!

“The Golden Immortal masters who just went back to check reported that Chi You’s corpse has been stolen, and the immortal soldiers outside didn’t notice a thing.”
