Chapter 1042: Inspiration

"Remarkable."

"Brother Dao's Dao of Earth Deities has provided countless cultivators with a path to immortality, and for those who cannot break through to the Golden Immortal level after becoming immortals, with this Dao of Earth Deities, they now have a chance at immortality and indestructibility."

Old Man Liu sighed with emotion upon hearing this.

For Immortal Dao cultivators, if they do not become Golden Immortals, their lifespan will eventually come to an end. Even if these Heaven Immortals and True Immortals have a day of returning through reincarnation, the vast majority of them are no longer the same person after they return.

Unless they reincarnate while maintaining the memories of their true spirit, but for this, unless they have elders behind them to look after them, ordinary loose cultivators do not have this qualification.

Cultivating the Immortal Dao to become a Golden Immortal is even more difficult.

But with this Dao of Earth Deities, merging one's own primordial spirit into the spirit domain and transforming into a Blessed Land, then as long as the Blessed Land exists, this Earth Deity will always exist. This is similar to the Divine Immortal Dao.

As long as faith exists, this Divine Immortal will always exist; even if they do not reach the Golden Immortal level, they can still survive.

Building a Blessed Land must be very difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, can it compare to breaking through to the Golden Immortal level?

Even for disciples of major sects, breaking through to the Golden Immortal level is extremely difficult, let alone for those 99% of small forces and loose cultivators.

Becoming an immortal is already very difficult.

But as long as one merges into a spirit domain, one has almost achieved immortality and indestructibility.

Of course, in this process, building a spirit land into a spirit domain is probably very difficult, but this also gives thousands of Dao practitioners a chance.

Moreover, this Dao of Earth Deities itself is beneficial to heaven and earth.

After all, clearing earth veins, optimizing the feng shui of spirit lands, and enhancing earth veins—is this not strengthening the power of the earth? This is great merit.

Clearing earth veins is very difficult.

After all, earth veins are very mixed, especially since earth veins are mixed with countless earth evil spirits. Some earth evil spirits even contain baleful energy and candle-evil energy, which are very harmful to Dao practitioners.

And clearing earth veins means removing the baleful energy from the turbid energy of the earth veins.

This step is also very difficult. If one is not careful, it will trigger an explosion of the baleful energy within. I fear that at best one will be injured by the explosion, and at worst, the entire earth vein will riot, and the resulting karma added to one's body will be even more terrifying.

It is not that no one has set their sights on this before.

The two Western Saints once tried to repair the earth veins of the West and achieved a little, and heaven and earth bestowed merit.

So some people followed suit, but the result was that the process was very difficult. Some living beings, because of failed operations, triggered the riot of earth veins, not only were they seriously injured by the explosion, but because of the riot of earth veins, the original spirit land became even worse, and because of the riot of earth veins, many surrounding living beings died.

All this karma was completely added to them, and the result was that they worked hard but did not get any thanks, trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice. Not only did they not get the merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, but they also got a lot of negative karma.

Since then, many living beings have also understood that although clearing earth veins is a good thing and can earn merit, not everyone can do it.

The two Western Saints, because Zhunti is an innate spiritual root, naturally have an advantage in this regard, and their cultivation is very high. Even so, the Western earth veins he cleared were only a very small part.

And now, in the Dao of Earth Deities brought out by Zhenyuanzi, there is a detailed record of the method of clearing earth veins. Although it is still very dangerous, at least there is a certain success rate.

As long as one is careful and looks for places with less earth evil power, spending a few hundred or even thousands of years, there is still a chance.

And once successful, the benefits to oneself go without saying.

One can get a high-grade spirit land, and this spirit land even has a chance to become a spirit domain. Once the spirit domain is formed, one can merge one's own primordial spirit into it, and then the spirit domain has the possibility of evolution.

Even if it cannot become a Blessed Land or Grotto-Heaven, a mere spirit domain is enough to allow a Dao practitioner to become an Earth Deity.

Earth Deities are favored by heaven and earth. In the future, even if they become immortals, there will almost be no major calamities. After becoming an immortal, the three disasters and nine calamities will likely be very small.

After all, for cultivators who have merit to heaven and earth, the Heavenly Dao is impartial and will naturally reduce the calamities heaven and earth have for them.

Therefore, this Dao of Earth Deities is equivalent to giving countless loose cultivator Dao practitioners a chance to climb upward, and once a Blessed Land or Grotto-Heaven is opened, it is equivalent to having one more Golden Immortal.

And for the Primordial heaven and earth to have one more Blessed Land or Grotto-Heaven, naturally its source power will also be strengthened.

It is simply a win-win situation.

And for Zhenyuanzi to create such a Daoist technique, calling him the Ancestor of Earth Deities is not an exaggeration.

Even if he cannot compare to the Dao Ancestor, in terms of status, he is close, and even because his cultivation has reached the Half-Saint level, facing Saints, his confidence is even greater, and he is no longer inferior to Saints.

Therefore, Dayu and Old Man Liu, who understood this point, also changed their gaze towards Zhenyuanzi at this moment.

The two naturally saw that after this Dao of Earth Deities spreads throughout the Primordial World, it can be said that Zhenyuanzi's future merit will likely not be less than Nuwa's mending of the sky.

Nuwa mended the sky, so Zhenyuanzi is thickening the earth veins.

Although it is not Zhenyuanzi doing it himself, as long as there is one more spirit land, spirit domain, or even Blessed Land or Grotto-Heaven in the Primordial heaven and earth, a part of it will be counted on Zhenyuanzi's head.

After all, he is the source. Without Zhenyuanzi bringing out this Daoist technique, other living beings would not be able to increase the power of earth veins.

This merit will be continuous.

By then, this person will likely really become the Lord of the Earth Dao, not inferior to that Pingxin Niangniang in the Underworld.

Dayu sighed in his heart.

"Haha! This Daoist technique of mine was also inspired by the little friend. If it weren't for the secret methods brought out by the little friend, I would not have been able to create such a Daoist technique."

Zhenyuanzi said with a smile. He naturally knew that if this Daoist technique were spread out, the future benefits—even if he, himself, did not care much about luck and merit—would still accelerate his future cultivation speed under this massive amount of merit and luck.

Perhaps with the help of these, he might be able to break through to the Saint realm in one fell swoop.

After the Dao Ancestor became a Saint back then, he lectured three times in the Zixiao Palace; was he not also plotting the luck of the living beings of the Primordial World, and then using this to break through to a higher realm?

Otherwise, the Dao Ancestor was just a Saint; how could he suppress the six Saints?

Although those Saints like the Three Pure Ones were opportunistic, they were Saints after all and could use the power of the Heavenly Dao.

If the Dao Ancestor's cultivation did not exceed them by much, I fear he would not be able to control their life and death.

After the Battle of Fengshen, the Dao Ancestor appeared and easily suppressed the six Saints, grounding them. The six Saints did not dare to refute at all.

This Dao of Earth Deities of his naturally cannot compare to the Dao Ancestor preaching to the Primordial World, but compared to Nuwa mending the sky, I think it will not be much worse.

Nuwa Niangniang's merit can be said to be second only to the Three Pure Ones, and even exceeded the Three Pure Ones. Otherwise, why was she the first to become a Heavenly Dao Saint? ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
