[Seeking Votes for the Third Time] 843: Chapter 295: Father and Son Both Calculate, Each Gains!

[Seeking Votes for the Third Time] “Using Chan Teaching as a reference is just a convenience for our own observation of the gap between the Great Sects.

When issuing it to the outside, we still need to select a basic unit.”

Li Dazhi muttered under his breath as he gazed at the Divine Cloth imbued with the power of the Heavenly Dao.

His ruddy, slightly plump face with a healthy sheen revealed a hint of speechlessness as he wondered,

“What on earth have these disciples of the Jie Sect done?

The Western Sect has raised so many fierce demons, yet their number is almost on the same level as theirs?”

“Most of the tens of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage to the Jie Sect are experts who have survived from the archaic and ancient times.”

Li Ping’an frowned as he said,

“I had already anticipated this situation with the Jie Sect.

“But the sin burden of the Dragon Clan, by this method of calculation, is over two hundred thousand, two thousand times the total sin burden of the preceptors of Chan Teaching…

Dreaming of having the Dragon Clan return to serve the Heavenly Court is a bit like daydreaming.

“This is comparative data, but we still need to find a basic unit for the calculation of merit and sin for specific quantification.”

“Right, I also overestimated the Western Sect, this method can only provide a horizontal comparison, unable to compare the merit and sin within a single Great Sect.”

Li Dazhi lit himself a cigarette, sitting at his desk in a cloud of smoke.

He spoke slowly, “Ping’an, do you think the Jie Sect can really be useful?”

“At this stage, we can only rely on the Jie Sect.”

Li Ping’an protected the surroundings of father and son with the power of the Heavenly Dao, as he spoke slowly,

“No matter what, the sect hierarch and the elder disciples of the Jie Sect are all righteous; they have helped me a lot, and I also want to give them something in return.

“Don’t worry, Dad.

I have a plan in mind; we can only try to help a portion of the Jie Sect.

“We can’t just take advantage of the Jie Sect’s strength without offering them benefits.

“Tongtian Shishuzu understand this point.”

Li Dazhi smiled, “The more one carries, the harder the journey becomes…

Ping’an, you are the Heavenly Emperor, not everything should be decided by me.

You set a standard first, the basic unit for the calculation of merit and sin, and I will start making moves on this side.”

“Movements?” Li Ping’an asked, “What are you thinking of doing, Dad?”

“What am I thinking of doing!

Humph!”

Li Dazhi’s eyes twinkled with mirth as he spoke slowly,

“The strongest part of the Western Sect is their greatest weakness.

“Isn’t their Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus meant to suppress sin?

Then let’s give the Western Sect a clear view of just how much sin their Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus can actually suppress.

“Of course, this will definitely be our own doing, to scare them a bit first, engage in a bit of a propaganda battle.”

“Would this deceive the two sect leaders?”

“You never know if you don’t try,” Li Dazhi clicked his tongue, “All warfare is based on deception!

You set the standard first, then apply the current ratio to get concrete numbers.”

With that said, Li Dazhi got up and hurried away.

The Tianli elder had already been there for half an hour, waiting for him at the top floor of the tallest building in Dong’an City.

Li Ping’an sat behind the desk and began to ponder seriously about how to define “one portion of merit” and the corresponding “one portion of sin.”

The first thing he thought of was an iconic event.

To kill a mortal who has neither merit nor sin, should it be considered “one” portion of sin?

This was indeed a good idea.

Mortals are now the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, and the power contributed by the Human Race to the Heavenly Dao accounts for ninety percent of the total.

Once the definition of sin is established, the opposite would be merit.

Li Ping’an closed his eyes, letting his Primordial Spirit return to the Lingxiao Palace, looking closely at the Divine Cloth before him as he casually conjured a divine brush and wrote a few lines on it.

The Divine Cloth flared with light.

Following that, the Heavenly Dao provided concrete numbers for sin and merit.

[Chan Teaching’s merit: 76,320,000 more or less;]

[Chan Teaching’s sin: 39,250,000 more or less.]

The merit and sin of the Human Teachings were sixty-five percent of Chan Teaching’s…

Huh?

Li Ping’an frowned deeply.

That number doesn’t seem quite right, does it?

The Human Teachings only have one Great Mage, who also defends the border of the cosmos at Xuan Capital City, blocking the innate gods and demons from entering, which itself would produce immense merit.

Ah, this?

Had the data for the Human Teachings been tampered with by the Taiqing Sect Leader?

Li Ping’an carefully sensed the power of the Heavenly Dao and indeed saw the phantom of a Tai Chi Diagram.

Ignore the Human Teachings, the data are fabricated.

Li Ping’an continued to read, and the corners of his mouth started to twitch violently.

[Western Sect’s merit: 11,490,000 more or less;]

[Western Sect’s sin: 153,860,000 more or less (within the sect), 22.7 billion (including broader Western Sect forces).]

When the Heavenly Dao calculates sin, it only considers direct evil deeds, like when fierce demons consume humans.

If great powers inadvertently harm living beings during magical combat, the sin attributed to them is significantly less than directly killing beings.

For those beings who die indirectly due to the Western Sect’s plotting, only a small part of the sin is attributed to the Western Sect, with the majority placed on those who directly do evil.

Before the rise of the Human Race, there were not many ‘basic units of the Heavenly Dao’ like mortals, and only a minority within the Hundred Clans possessed the intelligence to attain spirituality.

In other words, most of the sin burden of the Western Sect comes from the Human Race.

Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit pondered for a while, then suddenly said, “How much sin can the Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus suppress?”

The Faceless One appeared in front of the table and made a Daoist salute to Li Ping’an, then spoke earnestly,

“The Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus has one characteristic, which is the ability to gather the merit of incense offerings to suppress the sin underneath, and this is also the main reason why the Western Sect initially plotted across the Three Thousand Worlds.

“Looking at the current situation, the power of the Twelve-tiered Golden Lotus to suppress sin has been exploited over eighty percent.”

“Eighty percent?” Li Ping’an said, “As manifested by the Heavenly Dao, there are several billion human beings in the Southern Continent, which means, even if the Western Sect directly slaughtered half of the Southern Continent’s human population, their Golden Lotus wouldn’t burst?”

“Correct,” said the Faceless One, “The Western Sect has accumulated a great deal of merit from incense offerings.”
