Chapter 316: Theory of Merit
Zulong quickly brought Xiao Ran back to the dragon area.
Although the dragon, phoenix and unicorn clans divided the prehistoric world.
But in fact, the actual area occupied by the three tribes is less than one-third of the entire prehistoric world.
But its area is also huge!
Zulong took Xiao Ran flying in the sky, looking down at the mountains and rivers below.
There live dragons here, as well as various races that depend on the dragons.
In the border areas of the dragon clan, the dragon clan is on high alert and strictly guarding the defense line.
A large number of battle traces show that the areas occupied by the dragon clan have experienced fierce battles.
As we go deeper into the dragon area, such traces of battle still exist, and there are huge ravines across the ground.
Xiao Ran was in the air and could still see a large number of races living around the ravine.
Some people with higher cultivation levels can even cross the ravines.
For some people with low cultivation, this gap is like a natural chasm, a gap that they cannot cross in their entire life.
"With such a deep ravine, the earth veins within it must have been cut open, right?"
After a moment of silence, Xiao Ran asked.
"Yes, this ravine is a million miles deep, and the earth veins covering billions of miles in radius have been cut open."
Zulong lowered his head and looked at the ravine that Xiao Ran pointed to, then enthusiastically explained to Xiao Ran the origin of the ravine.
"This place was originally the territory of a Daluo White Tiger. These ravines are the traces left by the battle between the White Tiger and the Daluo of his clan. Nearly a million years have passed since this battle, and the power of the laws of the two is still imprinted on these traces..."
Xiao Ran couldn't help but fall silent after hearing the sigh in Zulong's tone.
The tribes living around the ravine below did not seem to attract the attention of the Ancestral Dragon.
Yes, now is the most prosperous period of the dragon clan. The pure-blooded dragon clan has been in the true fairyland since its birth and can fly in the prehistoric land. Such ravines simply do not exist in front of the dragon clan.
But for those primitive and inferior races, this ravine is the boundary of their lives.
Next, Xiao Ran traveled through most of the dragon areas under the leadership of Zulong.
Like the previous gullies, they are almost everywhere in the dragon area, and there are even many near the Ancestral Dragon Palace, some of which are even larger and deeper.
There are also hundreds of millions of miles of swampland, which are obviously formed by flooding of water veins.
In the original prehistoric world, the three tribes fought a great war, which shattered the prehistoric land. The earth veins and water veins were cut off, and only one in ten spiritual veins remained, causing the level of the entire prehistoric land to decline.
Therefore, after the catastrophe, the three tribes were attacked back by the ancient world, and even in the subsequent catastrophe of Journey to the West, they were still paying off their debts.
The dragon clan accumulates merits and repays their debts by controlling the clouds and rain.
Now, although the dragon clan has obtained his skills, they have become more powerful.
But this also means that the war in the catastrophe will become more tragic, and the collapse of heaven and earth will be more severe.
Although the dragon clan may become the final winner in the end, the subsequent backlash from heaven and earth will also beat the dragon clan back to its original form.
He might even have to bear the backlash of the entire prehistoric world on his own.
"Senior, I've observed that within the Dragon Clan's territory, there are many ravines and swamps, and the ground and water veins are cut off almost everywhere. Has the Dragon Clan never considered sorting out the ground and water veins within the clan?"
Xiao Ran finally began to ask, "Hongjun has not yet become a saint, nor has he achieved the Dao. As long as he does things that benefit heaven and earth, the prehistoric heaven and earth will bestow merit upon him."
However, no one takes the merits of heaven and earth seriously now. After all, no one has done anything of great benefit to the ancient world, and the ancient world has not bestowed a lot of merits.
Therefore, if the dragon clan can sort out the land veins and water veins within the clan, it will almost rebuild one-tenth of the prehistoric world. This will be a great achievement for the prehistoric world and will inevitably bring down a lot of merit.
Although it may not be enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in the dragon clan, it can still protect the dragon clan from some disasters.
"Combing the earth and water veins?"
Zulong turned his head and looked over, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The earth veins and water veins do not have much effect on the dragon clan. The dragon clan is now the darling of heaven and earth. Even if the earth veins and water veins are cut off, it will not affect the dragon clan's cultivation.
Moreover, where the earth and water veins are cut off, there are the aftermath of a great war. Only those with extremely high strength can get close to it, let alone repair it.
Therefore, almost no one in the dragon clan would do this thankless task.
"Senior, you may not know this, but I have heard of stories of people becoming saints through virtue!"
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then adapted the story of the Two Saints of the West and told it to Zulong.
"God-given merit? Merit leads to holiness?"
Zulong narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao Ran. He didn't know where Xiao Ran heard this story from, but since Xiao Ran had told it, he wouldn't lie to him.
When he created the dragon clan, he also received merits from heaven and earth, but he did not take it seriously. Instead, he integrated the merits from heaven and earth into a magic weapon and finally gave it to Qinglong.
Now Xiao Ran said that the merits of heaven and earth could actually make one a saint, which made Zulong excited.
"You mean, by combing the earth and water veins within the dragon clan, one can achieve sainthood?"
"Of course that's impossible!"
Xiao Ran quickly shook his head.
"What I mean is that if we can sort out the earth veins and water veins in the dragon clan area, we can obtain a large amount of heaven and earth merit. After the catastrophe, the backlash suffered by the dragon clan will be much less."
"And becoming a saint through merit requires a specific opportunity!"
"Oh!"
Zulong nodded slowly, without doubting Xiao Ran's intention. There was a gleam in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Ran. It seemed that Xiao Ran knew many secrets.
"The fourth and sixth brothers can comb through the earth and water veins, but if they want to connect the earth and water veins in the entire dragon clan area, it will probably be difficult for them to do it."
Zulong pondered for a moment, then took Xiao Ran straight to Zulong Palace.
However, the Earth Dragon and the Water Dragon were still in seclusion, so Zulong called the Azure Dragon and the Golden Dragon over and gave them the task of clearing the earth and water veins.
"Ah, we two might not be very good at this kind of thing!"
The Golden Dragon blinked. It would be no problem for him to fight with the Green Dragon, but it would be a bit difficult for the two of them to clear the earth veins and water veins. This was not the expertise of the two dragons.
"If I tell you to do it, then do it! Get all the idle dragons down there to move. We need to get this done before the catastrophe begins!"
Zulong said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Seeing Zulong so serious, Jinlong did not dare to shirk his responsibility and agreed without hesitation. After all, there were still many members of the Water Dragon and Earth Dragon tribes, so he just had to hand over the task.
"Come with me again!"
Zulong picked up Xiao Ran and left Zulong Palace again.
Xiao Ran didn't ask where they were going, but he already knew in his heart.
Since the Ancestral Dragon wants to clear the earth and water veins in the entire dragon clan area, he must need the help of one person.
The ancestor of earthly immortals—Zhen Yuanzi!
