Conferred God: Got cramped at the beginning

Chapter 800: Asking the Heavenly Rules

So, with this curious mentality, Ao Bing nodded happily despite the immortal official's uneasy mood.

"The Dragon Clan is a vassal of the Heavenly Court. How dare I disobey the Emperor of Heaven's call?"

"Please lead the way, celestial official. I will go to heaven to pay my respects to the Emperor of Heaven and defend myself before all the gods."

The cheerful response actually made the immortal official confused.

After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly sent a message to the Heavenly Palace and then reached out to Ao Bing.

"Your Majesty and the gods are already waiting in the Lingxiao Palace."

"Lord Dragon, please." A cloud of light immediately descended from the sky.

Before leaving, Ao Bing's gaze fell on Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao in Wuyi Mountain and extended an invitation.

"My two Taoist friends, since there is so much trouble in the mountains, why don't we go to heaven together?"

The two Taoists hesitated for a moment before nodding and being led by Ao Bing into the cloud of light.

The two men were not the kind of people who could not tell right from wrong, and they naturally knew that Ao Bing asked them to go to Heaven not because he wanted to plot against them, but because he wanted to pull them out of the turmoil in Wuyi Mountain.

After all, after this storm, those who failed to snatch the innate spiritual treasures will inevitably vent their resentment on their brothers.

Moreover, because of the manifestation of this innate spiritual treasure, Wuyi Mountain has become a place of right and wrong - if other people want to plot something in Wuyi Mountain, then they must exclude the two brothers first.

In other words, if Ao Bing had not pulled them out of the quagmire at this moment, death would have been waiting for the two brothers!
Even after death, their souls and bodies will be devoured and become food for others.

Therefore, after getting on the Yunguang, they all bowed to Ao Bing sincerely.

"Thank you, Lord Long, for saving my life."

"I don't deserve the grace of saving my life. I'm just repaying you." Ao Bing felt the emotional changes of the two people in front of him, and soon he was sure that these two people in this world and the two people in the other world had the same temperament.

"These two people are grateful but not grudges, and they are not competitive. They are quite capable of making progress and retreating. They are easy to settle."

"But how to deal with these Fallen Treasure Money is a troublesome matter." Ao Bing put his hands behind his back, with his wide sleeves hanging down. In the sleeves, the Fallen Treasure Money turned back and forth between Ao Bing's fingers.

The power of Luobao money lies in the way of wealth and transaction.

For Ao Bing, the greatest function of this Luobao Money is its ability to trade - it can trade any kind of thing between heaven and earth according to one's own wishes.

Of course, the fallen treasure money in this world is the same as the fallen treasure money in the other world. The authority of this "transaction" is hidden and falls into the dark.

This requires Ao Bing to anchor this authority to Luobao Money through the process of "transaction", so that the concept of Luobao Money itself can be expanded from simple wealth to the level of transaction.

For the innate spiritual treasure, this is also a kind of self-fulfillment and evolution.

This is also the reason why, although Zhao Gongming's future was obviously more suitable for Luobao Jinqian, in the end, Luobao Jinqian chose Ao Bing instead of Zhao Gongming.

He needs to use the traces of "another fallen treasure money" that still exist on Ao Bing's body to complete himself.

But the reason why transactions are transactions rather than robbery is because transactions require a price.

In that world, Ao Bing had infinite luck. Therefore, for every transaction, he could directly pay the price with his luck without any harm to himself.

However, the body of the Azure Dragon of this generation does not carry any fortune.

This means that in this era, if Ao Bing wants to borrow the trading authority of this innate spiritual treasure, he needs to pay a price on another level in order to achieve "money and goods are settled".

However, this price on another level is not something Ao Bing is willing to pay.

Of course, Ao Bing can also choose another method.

That is another use of trading power.

Showing kindness to others, accumulating little by little, and then one day, turning this kindness into the price he has to pay, forcing the person who accepted his kindness to repay him - this is also a transaction.

However, this kind of transaction is almost demonic, and it also takes a very long time, and it is contrary to Ao Bing's own "righteousness".

Therefore, Ao Bing is destined not to take this path - and he must also avoid anyone gaining access to the power of the transaction through this path.

Otherwise, those who embark on this path are destined to become his great enemy, and it will be a real, unprecedented, and irreconcilable enemy.

This is because the Tao achieved in this way is bound to distort Ao Bing's "righteousness" and eventually cause the collapse of Ao Bing's Tao fruit.

"You can't use those unknown things as the price - then what if you are used as the price?" Ao Bing's consciousness fell on the spiritual light of the Falling Treasure Money, as if he was communicating with the Falling Treasure Money.

"Use yourself as a witness to the transaction, and use yourself as the price of the transaction in exchange for the Dinghai Divine Pearl in Zhao Gongming's hand."

While thinking about it, Ao Bing already had the answer.

The transaction at the level of innate spiritual treasure is enough to anchor the authority of this transaction.

"Fellow Daoist Gongming, how about making a deal?" Ao Bing vibrated the Azure Dragon Qi and connected with Zhao Gongming.

"What deal?" Zhao Gongming responded, only wondering why Yu Aobing's attitude suddenly became so formal and solemn.

"The innate spiritual treasure in Wuyi Mountain is called Luobao Jinqian."

"I will exchange this treasure for the Dinghai Shenzhen Pearl in your hand, how about that?" Ao Bing's hand had already stretched out from his sleeve, and the spiritual light of the innate spiritual treasure appeared at his fingertips.

Although he didn't understand why this sudden deal came about, Zhao Gongming still instinctively rejected the deal.

There are many reasons for rejection.

For example, he did not know the nature of the innate spiritual treasure in Ao Bing's hand.

For example, the Dinghai Pearl in his hand was given by Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and it is not a good thing to use as a transaction with others.

But when the words came out of his mouth, his response turned into a sentence, "Good."

As soon as he uttered this sentence, the spiritual light of the Dinghai Pearl in his soul dissipated - the Dinghai Pearl hidden in his sleeves also silently turned into the Luobao Gold Coin.

The innate spiritual treasure, the Dinghai Shenzhu, was snatched away right in front of him.

"Fellow Daoist Qinglong, what do you mean?" Zhao Gongming stared at Ao Bing with an unfriendly look.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the mystery of the Falling Treasure Money." Ao Bing's voice sounded in Zhao Gongming's ears within the Yuan Qi network.

“Everything between heaven and earth has value—and that value fluctuates.”

"The mystery of Luobao Money lies in this - it can always be exchanged for the corresponding thing at the lowest price, and no matter whether its owner is willing or not, Luobao Money can exchange it."

"Okay, I get it." Zhao Gongming said impatiently, "Fellow Daoist, you have already tried the mysterious power of this Treasure-Losing Gold Coin on me, so you should return the Dinghai Divine Pearl to me."

"Fellow Daoist Gongming, please calm down and look at the true nature of the fallen treasure money."

"If after that, you still want to return the things, you can do it yourself." There was a mysterious power in Ao Bing's voice.

Then, Zhao Gongming's mind sank into the spiritual light of the falling treasure and gold coins.

Thus, at this moment, his seed of Tao took root and sprouted in the spiritual light of the falling treasure and gold coins.

Similarly, the path to Daluo unfolded before Zhao Gongming's eyes.

Between heaven and earth, the Qi belonging to Zhao Gongming also demonstrated extremely mysterious changes.

Similarly, when this Qi showed those mysterious changes, the top beings between heaven and earth, those Daluo, also expressed admiration with different attitudes and positions.

"Congratulations to fellow Taoist for attaining enlightenment!"

Attain the Tao.

A very common, yet very luxurious word.

The original purpose of Qigong practitioners was to seek the truth.

And when the Qigong practitioners come into contact with the existence of Tao, they can condense the Tao seeds and achieve Taiyi.

As for the vast majority of Qigong practitioners, after condensing Taiyi, their magic power will continue to increase, their magical powers will gradually become stronger, but their skills will remain there forever.

Because, the Tao seed is just a Tao seed - it is just a seed that is difficult to take root and sprout.

Because this generation has achieved so much, the practice of this generation is also extremely difficult - as long as there are enough resources, even a pig can be piled up into a Taiyi level pig.

In the eyes of most Daluo, even the immortal Taiyi can only be regarded as a consumable.

For the vast majority of Taiyi, their Tao seeds are dead seeds that can never take root and sprout.

And the rooting and sprouting of Taiyi's Tao seeds is an extremely important step in their practice.

This means that this Taiyi has broken free from the limitations of Taiyi, has begun to explore the direction leading to Daluo, and is already on the road leading to Daluo.

On this road, they will get lost, they will take the wrong path, and more likely, they will die halfway - but at least, they have taken the step that belongs to them.

This is the proof that the Qigong practitioner can turn the end of his practice into another starting point.

Among Taiyi, only such existence can be taken seriously by those Daluo and regarded as "fellow Taoists".

This kind of change, the taking root and sprouting of the Tao seed, is called "attaining the Tao."

Even among the saints, there are very few such enlightened Qigong practitioners.

Just like the Jiejiao at that time, with thousands of immortals coming to pay homage, it was at its peak, and there were countless Taiyi disciples under the Jiejiao sect - but among those countless Taiyi, the number of those who could become "enlightened" could be counted on ten fingers.

In particular, this world is a "dead" world, and this generation is also an extinct generation.

And in this dead world, it has been a very long time since the birth of a Daluo.

As for the current situation, if we draw a line with the war between the liches and the wizards as the anchor point, almost all of the Daluo are ancient beings who had achieved success before the liches.

After the Lich, there were almost no new Daluo achievements.

Those few who exist have all taken advantage of the momentum of the human race's rise and intercepted the infinite inspiration and infinite creation of heaven and earth.

After the human race's position as the protagonist of the world was determined, there were no new enlightened people between heaven and earth, let alone Daluo.

Even the disciples of the saints were like this. However, at this moment, under the gaze of countless powerful people, Zhao Gongming of Jiejiao achieved enlightenment!
This news spread between heaven and earth like thunder.

Only those who understand the significance of the word "enlightenment" will know what kind of changes this matter has brought about - it is like a touch of green suddenly appearing in an ice field that is frozen all year round and lifeless.

At this moment, countless Taiyi cast their eyes on Zhao Gongming.

The road to Daluo has been cut off - this is the situation faced by countless Taiyi between heaven and earth.

There is no manifestation of Daluo in either the Chan or Jie sects - the closest disciple to Daluo among the saints is the 'future' Daluo like Maitreya. This reality further confirms the Taiyi's understanding of heaven and earth.

A large part of the despair that currently permeates the world comes from the severance of the path to Daluo.

Because there is no way forward, the Taiyi between heaven and earth do not care about the future at all, let alone whether their reincarnations can continue their achievements.

So, after I die, I won’t care about the flood.

To live, one must be extremely unbridled; to die, one must be endlessly crazy.

Therefore, destroying everything that can be destroyed before death, as the White Tiger Taoist did, is just a common act, and other people between heaven and earth do not think that this act is excessive at all.

but now……

At this moment, Zhao Gongming's extremely complicated gaze fell on Ao Bing.

Although he is still Taiyi, after attaining enlightenment, his perspective has surpassed that of an ordinary Taiyi.

Similarly, when he attained enlightenment, he also "saw" his own path and "saw" his own fruit of enlightenment.

But how is this possible?

Even saints cannot guarantee that their disciples can achieve Daluo, and cannot guarantee that their disciples can attain enlightenment.

Why can Ao Bing do it?
This is clearly Zhao Gongming's path, but why does Ao Bing understand the path he holds better?
It was as if Ao Bing had seen his Dao Fruit, or even witnessed with his own eyes how he achieved Daluo from Taiyi.

But how is this possible?

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to change it back?" At this moment, Ao Bing's voice sounded, with a hint of teasing in it.

Hearing this, Zhao Gongming showed a rare look of embarrassment on his face.

——The moment he attained enlightenment, he was certain that the fallen treasure and gold coins should be a part of him.

Only after obtaining this treasure money, one's existence will be complete.

So, how could he possibly exchange this lost treasure money?

Moreover, he could even vaguely sense the original intention of Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun to have him and Ao Bing together - not to mention other things, the Luobao Gold Coin was definitely one of the intentions.

……

Soon, the group stepped into the Heavenly Gate and walked along the steps leading to the sky, heading towards Lingxiao.

In the Lingxiao Palace, all the immortal officials and generals are already in place.

The human king and some princes in the mortal world also used mysterious means to appear in this Lingxiao Palace and come uninvited.

When Ao Bing stepped into the Lingxiao Palace, he saw that the princes of the human race and the immortal officials of the heavenly court were confronting each other in the palace.

Especially the immortal officials and generals in the palace, they seemed to want to use their aura to suppress the shadow of the Human King that appeared in Lingxiao Palace back to the human world.

And when Ao Bing appeared, the two opposing auras immediately merged into one and pounced towards Ao Bing, with a posture that almost wanted to sweep Ao Bing out of Lingxiao Palace.

"Qinglong Ao Bing, I'm honored to meet you, the Emperor of Heaven." Ao Bing bowed with all his energy, and with one bow, he dispersed all the powerful energy.

"May the Emperor of Heaven live forever and be in peace."

"You are finally free to return to Heaven to report on your work." The Jade Emperor also showed joy and called Taibai Jinxing.

"Taibai, is there any vacancy in the Heavenly Palace?"

"Your Majesty, wait a minute." Before Taibai Jinxing could speak, an immortal official stepped forward and gave Ao Bing a cold look.

"Your Majesty, allow me to report this - Qinglong relied on his magical powers to make clouds and rain in the Tiger Kingdom, committing crimes that shocked the world and killing tens of millions of people."

"Especially in the Tiger Cave Heaven, the countless bodies were stripped of their souls and their internal organs were smelted. They were in endless pain. However, even those vicious criminals of the Immortal Demon Thieves knew the importance of life and death, and did not dare to take the lives of those bodies easily."

"But Qinglong, with an extremely cruel attitude, buried the victims in water and fire."

"That's his first crime!" The immortal official who stood out didn't even look at Ao Bing, but continued to speak.

"The second is that the Tiger Cave Heaven is the base of the Immortal Demon Thieves. It contains a lot of information about the Immortal Demon Thieves. If we can get this information, with the power of the Heavenly Court, we will definitely be able to follow the clues and catch the Immortal Demon Thieves in one fell swoop."

——Up to now, the Immortal Demon Thief has almost been closely connected with the soul consumable system.

Therefore, the immortal evil thieves mentioned by the immortal official are not just simple immortal evil thieves, but also include those who are involved in the soul consumable system.

"But Qinglong burned all this information."

"I suspect that Qinglong did this intentionally in order to destroy the evidence."

"His third crime is that the princes of the mortal world burned incense and reported it to the emperor, but Qinglong defied the world and used his magical powers to assassinate the princes."

"Your Majesty, now that Qinglong has committed a crime, how can he serve as an official in heaven?"

"Your Majesty, please make the decision."

"Qinglong, do you have any explanation?" Then, the Jade Emperor's gaze fell on Qinglong - as for Princess Longji who was with Ao Bing, he pretended not to see her.

"Let's not talk about guilt or innocence for now." Qinglong looked calm.

"As for the affairs of the human world, whether they are under the jurisdiction of Heaven or not, let's put them aside for now."

"I would like to ask this immortal official - if you ask me about Qinglong's crime, I don't know which precept or rule he is following?"

"You can't just open your mouth and say that my actions violated the laws of the Heavenly Court?"

Ao Bing raised his eyes and said that he was refuting the immortal official, but in fact, he was staring at the Jade Emperor on the jade steps.

There are no heavenly rules!

This was Ao Bing’s biggest surprise after learning about the situation in Heaven!

Even the immortal sects in the human world have their own rules and regulations, and the families in the human world also have their own clan laws.

It just so happens that this heavenly court that rules the heavens and the earth, the largest "structure" between heaven and earth, has absolutely no rules and laws within it.

Ao Bing has seen every punishment that Heaven has imposed on all the gods and immortals after the Jade Emperor took over Heaven - all the punishments came from the decisions of the Emperor of Heaven, and not a single punishment came from the laws of Heaven.

At first, Ao Bing thought that the Jade Emperor believed that punishment was unknown and power was unpredictable.

As a result, when Ao Bing tried to summarize those punishments in order to glimpse the laws of Heaven, he was shocked to discover that there was no so-called Heavenly Law in Heaven today.

As for the punishment of immortals and gods by the Heavenly Court - when the Jade Emperor feels it is necessary to enhance his own majesty, he will find a reasonable reason to punish a certain immortal or god.

Even if the reason is extremely reasonable, and even if the immortal god did make a mistake, there are no rules in heaven!

Although it is incredible, this is the fact!
The Jade Emperor's governance of the Heavenly Palace seems to have always been following some kind of unspoken tacit understanding within the Heavenly Palace.

Similarly, precisely because there are no laws in heaven, the Jade Emperor, as the Emperor of Heaven, holds absolute power in heaven.

All rewards and punishments are determined by his will.

And this is obviously wrong!
"The sky is round and the earth is square, this is the rule."

"Now, there are human laws in the world, which bind mortals, and encourage them to do good and avoid evil. This is the way of the earth."

"May I ask your majesty, where are the laws of heaven?"

"May I ask all the immortals, where are the laws of heaven?" Ao Bing's gaze, starting from the Jade Emperor, swept across every immortal official and general in heaven.

Under Ao Bing's gaze, these immortal officials and generals all avoided Ao Bing's gaze.

Of course, they are aware of the importance of the Heavenly Rules - but, as I said before, who would be willing to be bound by so many rules and regulations for no reason?
They come to heaven to enjoy happiness, not to be restricted.

Therefore, over the countless years, even though there were no Heavenly Rules in Heaven and all rewards and punishments were decided by the Jade Emperor at his own will, no one felt that it was wrong. Or, some people felt that it was wrong but did not dare to speak up.

And now, Qinglong raised this question directly in front of the gods.

"It seems that he is gone." Ao Bing set his gaze on the Jade Emperor.

"Without rules, there is no right or wrong."

"Without right or wrong, how can we reward merits and punish mistakes?"

"Your Majesty, today the immortals and gods have gathered to discuss my Qinglong's crimes."

"In my opinion, instead of discussing my crime, it is better to discuss the rules of heaven first."

"This will set the rules for heaven and earth."

"In this way, rewards are based on evidence and punishments are based on reason."

"The gods will not be dissatisfied with Your Majesty because of unfair rewards and punishments."

"What you said is exactly what I want." After Ao Bing's words, the Jade Emperor also stood up and walked down the jade steps step by step.

The Heavenly Rules are a taboo in Heaven—but this is an unspeakable taboo.

This is the righteousness of heaven and earth!

Once it is discovered, even the Jade Emperor, who holds absolute power in heaven, will not be able to ignore it.

So, he could only choose to delay.

It was dragged on until nothing was done.
