Chapter 370: Rahu is present, ancient secrets

The Bagua furnace made a rumbling sound.

Yang Jian stood aside, holding a palm-leaf fan, and kept fanning the air inside.

Originally this was supposed to be a boy's job.

But the Golden Lotus of Merit and the List of Conferred Gods are of great importance and naturally cannot be entrusted to a boy, so Yang Jian has to fan it himself.

We can't let Taishang Laojun come.

"He's an old man!"

This was said by Taishang Laojun himself.

Through the holes on the Bagua stove, you can see the beautiful scenery inside.

The List of Gods floated in the sky, and despite all kinds of sacrifices, it did not change in the slightest.

The major changes occurred in the Merit Pool.

The Merit Pool was floating in the midst of several kinds of divine fires. The color of the golden lotus of merit in it became lighter and lighter. The water in the pool was also evaporated by the divine fires and gathered towards the List of Gods.

The noise from the Bagua furnace became louder and louder.

The huge noise seemed to shake the heavens.

Yang Jian inevitably showed a worried look: "Such a big commotion will definitely be noticed."

"Who are you looking down on!"

Taishang Laojun said contemptuously: "You kid relax your mind. Only after the refining is completed and the Conferred God List is released, will the two saints in the West notice it."

As the water in the Merit Pond dried up, dark mud was exposed.

The golden lotus of merit completely disappeared and was instead printed on the List of Gods.

In the center of the unfolded scroll of the Investiture of the Gods is the ancient world outlined by the map of mountains, rivers, and the country. At this time, a golden lotus has appeared in the center of the world.

"Almost done! Just let it rest for a while and it will be done."

Taishang Laojun showed a look of delight.

Yang Jian's attention was not on the List of Gods. He saw the pool of merit that was almost refined into colored glaze.

To be precise, this is no longer a merit pool. When the purple gold red gourd absorbed the merit pool, it absorbed most of the soil and rocks below, which was equivalent to turning the merit pool into something like a bowl, but it was a little huge.

At this moment, in the center of this huge glass bowl, all the golden pool water was refined into the List of the Gods, leaving only a mass of black mud.

A human figure emerged from the mud.

The face of that body frightened Yang Jian a little.

Taishang Laojun also noticed this anomaly very quickly: "Luohu? Wasn't his body shattered when he was fighting with Hongjun? How come his body is still there? The body is intact, except for one eye."

Suddenly, Taishang Laojun laughed out loud: "What is the Merit Golden Lotus? I have never heard of it. I only knew about it after those two guys from the West became saints. This is clearly the World-Destroying Black Lotus. Hongjun used some tricks to transform Luohou's World-Destroying Black Lotus into the Merit Golden Lotus to make the two saints from the West. Judging from this situation, Luohou's corpse is clearly a lotus incarnation made of lotus roots, not much different from Nezha, the disciple of Taiyi Zhenren."

"It's actually like this! This method is worthy of being the magical power of the Taoist Ancestor."

Yang Jian sighed.

On the one hand, he was responding to Taishang Laojun, and on the other hand, he was sincerely amazed at Hongjun's bizarre methods. He could even reverse an innate spiritual object like the Black Lotus of Destruction.

"What a bullshit magical power! Don't be fooled!"

Taishang Laojun said with disdain: "Before the Dragon and Phoenix Catastrophe, there was no such thing as merit or karma. You can live or die. At that time, there were extraordinary wars and the destruction of thousands of tribes was just a common occurrence. There was no karma affecting cultivation. It was because of his fight with Luohou that the prehistoric world was almost shattered and was about to fall apart. In the end, Hongjun joined forces with the Five Saints to divide up Luohou's legacy, re-refined the earth, fire, water and wind, and sewed the broken prehistoric world together. Seeing Luohou's body, the old Taoist just guessed that Hongjun must have added some hidden tricks at that time to create some karma and merit as the basis for his integration of the Heavenly Dao. The more karma and merit, the deeper Hongjun's erosion of the Heavenly Dao. Now it seems that Hongjun is destined to be the Heavenly Dao~"

After hearing this, Yang Jian was stunned. He didn't know there was such a thing.

These things are what Fairy Caixia did not keep in the magic eye.

Perhaps Fairy Caixia was in danger of death at that time and could only hide in the Immortal Volcano and rely on Yuanfeng to survive. How could she have time to pay attention to these things?

In this way, he is not creating karma by inciting killing or spreading merit.

All actions related to the Conferred God Ceremony will promote Hongjun's integration into the Heavenly Dao.

Yang Jian realized that this lotus incarnation named Luohou was still of great use. It was once controlled by the Fairy Caixia and was able to compete with Hongjun for the way. Its divine power was unfathomable. Maybe it could still be used if he took it out and repaired it.

"Laojun, can you please take out this incarnation? It must be a great thing. It would be a pity to refine it like this."

Taishang Laojun shook his head: "The Investiture of the Gods has entered the final stage of nurturing. If we open the furnace now, all our efforts will be wasted. The two saints in the west will also sense the breath of the Merit Golden Lotus. You kid, choose, do you want this Luohou body, or do you want the Investiture of the Gods to fuse with the Merit Golden Lotus?"

Yang Jian looked embarrassed.

This choice before him made him extremely conflicted.

Taishang Laojun said, "Luohou's body is extremely precious. If you sacrifice and refine it into an external incarnation, it will have the fighting power of a quasi-saint. Even if the Conferred God List is integrated with the Merit Golden Lotus, it will not have much to do with you, Yang Jian. In my opinion, you should choose Luohou's body. By then, you will have one or two innate spiritual treasures and will not be afraid of any of the two saints in the West. It will also be difficult for them to snatch the Merit Golden Lotus. This is the most favorable choice for you."

"If the Conferred God List cannot fuse the Merit Golden Lotus this time, will it be possible to do so again?"

Yang Jian asked.

Taishang Laojun blew his beard and glared: "Of course not. After this, the Merit Golden Lotus will definitely be spiritually damaged. The original twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus will only be three-grade at most."

"Then let's continue practicing."

"What? Think carefully. If you miss this quasi-saint ability, you will never get it again."

Taishang Laojun seemed not to have heard clearly and asked again.

"Continue practicing."

Yang Jian looked determined.

The incarnation of Rahu is certainly important, but even if it is refined into an incarnation, it is still just an incarnation after all.

He has the magic eye that can allow him to enter the List of Gods, and then he can move the magic power and merits therein at will. For him, becoming a quasi-saint is not the end.

In other words, Luohu is a one-time benefit that will show results quickly in a short period of time, while the Investiture of the Gods is an investment in the future and a cornerstone for long-term planning to reach a higher level.

Yang Jian made his choice.

Taishang Laojun said no more. While controlling the Bagua Furnace, he separated a wisp of his thoughts and used the Tai Chi diagram to communicate with the outside world and inform Taiqing of these discoveries.

After a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes: "The Taijitu has already informed Yuqing, Shangqing, and Nuwa of this matter. They will also know about the changes in the Merit Golden Lotus."

"Master Yuqing has a close relationship with the Western Church. Why should we tell Master Yuqing?"

Yang Jian hesitated.

"You are still too young, how can you understand the methods of a saint?"

The Supreme Lord glanced at Yang Jian and said casually, "If Yuqing hadn't pretended to stand on the side of the two saints from the West, the two of them would have retreated to Mount Xumi, and you wouldn't have had the chance to come and go as you please."

Yang Jian was stunned. He didn't dare to think about it too much. He just felt terrified when he thought about it.
