Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration Chapter 676

Chapter 676 Netherworld Merit Green Lotus (2)

However, before his killing intent could boil, his brewing emotions were interrupted.

Below, an unfamiliar yet familiar strange fluctuation appeared.

Jiang Li suddenly recalled that during the process of him piecing together the territory, there was indeed something that was deeply involved and contributed more than him.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

!!

Under the envelopment of the resplendent golden light, a pitch-black chain flew out from the center of the collision.

The chain swayed nimbly in the air, like a dog that had been locked up at home for a long time and was interested in everything.

After playing for a while, it noticed Jiang Li who was standing not far away.

The black chain immediately flew over excitedly and circled around Jiang Li’s body. It was really like a pet that could even act cute.

This chain was naturally the Dragon Imprisoning Lock!

Yes, Nüwa had refined the Five-Colored Divine Stone to nourish the heavens. Even the remaining shards had been given a lot of merit.

The Dragon Imprisoning Lock occupied the most important position in the process of combining the Netherworld. It was reasonable for it to receive half of the merit.

At this moment, a sword tip suddenly appeared above Jiang Li’s head.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword also sensed the change in its old friend and came out to greet the Dragon Imprisoning Lock.

When the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword was created, it did not have a hilt. There was only a ring that connected to the Dragon Imprisoning Lock on the hilt.

Speaking of which, these two artifacts could be considered ‘childhood sweethearts’.

Now that its old friend had also developed intelligence, the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword also revealed happy emotions.

These two guys still wanted to fuse together again to test the power of their combination.

It was not until Jiang Li reached out to comfort him that it stopped.

The Immortal Slaying Flying Sword returned to his head. The Dragon Imprisoning Lock still liked to wrap around his waist the most.

Jiang Li had tried many methods to refine this ancient immortal artifact.

Sometimes, he would use spiritual qi to nourish it at all times, wanting it to recover some of its former power.

However, just like dried grapes that could not be restored to their original state even after soaking in water, his actions were almost useless.

Due to its indestructible characteristics and the fact that the methods of the cultivation world could not refine it, this matter had been delayed.

However, now, under the power of virtuous merit that turned something broken into something magical, this former immortal artifact came to life again, as if there was a hope of recovering its former power.

Jiang Li stretched out his Essence Soul and was taken into the core by the Dragon Imprisoning Lock. Without any difficulty, he went a step further to make it acknowledge him as the master again.

After wrapping it around his waist for so long, this chain did not forget its master.

After a while, the second merit spiritual light descended.

Another 30% of the merit points were cut off.

This time, it finally landed on Jiang Li without any surprise.

In the end, the remaining 20% of the merit turned into starlight that flew towards the cultivators who had partic.i.p.ated in this matter.

Jiang Li could not help but feel that it was a pity.

After distributing 20% of the merit to so many people, they would not feel any difference after it reached them. It would only slowly dissipate as time pa.s.sed.

Dispersing merit like this was no different from wasting natural resources.

However, Jiang Li was unable to stop it. He could only study the merit spiritual light that had fallen into his body.

[Combined the Netherworld fragments. You have been rewarded by the Netherworld. Your Yin lifespan has increased by 3,000 years. Added Status: Netherworld Green Lotus (Rank 1)]

[Netherworld Green Lotus (Rank 1): Increased affinity with the Netherworld… Conferred the t.i.tle of Rank 1 Merit Yin Official. Granted 3,000 miles of territory in the Netherworld. Immunity to the rules of the Netherworld below Rank 1. Obtained the skill: Yin Soldier Awakening. Duration: 30 years] (− +)

Just as Jiang Li wanted to see what was the change of the high-grade Merit Blessing, the descending merit did not fuse with his original merit spiritual light. Instead, it gathered on its own.

After the two approached, he discovered that the color of the two power of virtuous merit was actually slightly different and not completely the same.

It turned out that merit was not all the same.

From the looks of it, after the apocalypse, what had changed was not as simple as the concentration of spiritual qi and the rules of heaven and earth.

The consciousness of heaven and earth in the Netherworld was different from the consciousness of heaven and earth in the continent of the Nine Provinces, which was the so-called Heavenly Dao. They should be two independent ent.i.ties.

In fact, the originally complete Three Realms and Six Paths should have already collapsed and formed their own independent Heavenly Dao.

It was just like how the Heavenly Dao of the Asura World changed the rules and continuously let the Asura Lords attack the continent of the Nine Provinces.

After the cultivators here repelled the invasion of the Asura World, the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces would reward them.

If these two were the same Heavenly Dao, wouldn’t that be doing something redundant?

The Netherworld should be similar to the continent of the Nine Provinces.

However, the two were closer and had a better relations.h.i.+p than the Asura World.

The latest merit that entered his body slowly condensed into a first-grade Merit Green Lotus that was invisible to the naked eye above Jiang Li.

In the future, if he obtained more Netherworld merit, he would continue to condense the green lotus like this.

The high-grade Merit Blessing in the continent of the Nine Provinces should have condensed into a similar Merit Lotus Flower.

He did not know what this Netherworld Green Lotus had to do with the legendary twelfth-grade Merit Golden Lotus.

The initial duration of the [Netherworld Green Lotus] status was increased to 30 years compared to the previous seven days of Merit Blessing.

If not for the fact that the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces was too stingy, it should be that after the merit transformed into a green lotus, it became more corporeal and no longer dissipated easily.

As for the effect, other than overlapping with the high-grade Merit Blessing, this status also directly made him a Merit Yin Official of the Netherworld.

He could also possess a Netherworld territory that spanned 3,000 miles. Although this territory could not be moved after being chosen, the effect was enough to compare to the Ground Control Flag.

The attribute of immunity to the rules of the Netherworld was very easy to understand.

Previously, he had been puzzled as to why the Northern Profound Hall Master, Qiu Shui, could walk freely in the Netherworld as a living person. Moreover, the rules of places like the Back Yin Mountain and Tragic Death City were completely useless to him.

Now, he had finally found the answer. It was the power of virtuous merit of the Netherworld that helped him escape these rules.

Of course, the effect of the first-grade Green Lotus was naturally far inferior to the reincarnation of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha.

However, this merit status could clearly be improved.

As long as Jiang Li continued to think of a way to combine the other Netherworld fragments, he would be able to continuously obtain a large amount of Netherworld merit.

If he could completely restore the Netherworld by himself, he might be qualified to sit on the throne as the new “King of h.e.l.l”.

Apart from these, he also obtained a skill specially used to create Yin Soldiers.

This Yin Soldier Awakening was even more brilliant than Jiang Li’s Demon Awakening Technique back then. The Yin Soldiers he awakened were equivalent to ‘civil servants’ officially conferred by the Netherworld.

Apart from the most basic increase in strength, Yin soldiers also had a special deterrence ability. Even ghosts ten times stronger than Yin Soldiers did not dare to act rashly.

Moreover, even experts did not dare to easily kill a large number of Yin Soldiers.

This was because killing an official “civil servant” would shorten their lifespan.

In ancient times, if one casually killed Yin Soldiers, the price was a hundred years of lifespan for each, and they would suffer at least 18 levels of h.e.l.l after death.

However, other than the necessary spiritual qi and Yin qi, the Yin Soldiers had to consume the creator’s own Netherworld merit.

The power of virtuous merit was so precious, so who would be willing to use it casually?

It was precisely because of this that Yin Soldiers did not flood the world.

Most of those big shots of the Netherworld would only awaken the dead who had the power of virtuous merit. Because that way, they would not consume their own merit.

As for Jiang Li, after pressing the plus b.u.t.ton for five seconds, he was thinking if he should enlighten all the ghosts in Fengdu City.
