This time, Jiang Chen mobilized his troops and horses to launch an expedition to Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Before the ghost chaos in Shu broke out, Jiang Chen was leading the demon-conquering heavenly soldiers to slay demons in the Xiaocang Mountains at the junction of Dongsheng Shenzhou and the East China Sea.
Later, due to the refining of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, there was too much noise, which alerted all the masters within a billion miles radius. As a last resort, Jiang Chen led his troops to leave Dongsheng Shenzhou and went to Nanzhan Buzhou to support them. Only then did a series of things happen.
But now that the ghost threat in Shu has been eliminated, Jiang Chen can not only free up his hands, but also his strength has greatly increased. With the support of powerful force, Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of going to Dongsheng Shenzhou again.
To be precise, Jiang Chen fell in love with the Xiaocang Mountains.
The Xiaocang Mountains, located on the edge of Dongsheng Shenzhou, are notoriously poor and poor in the eyes of local monks.
It is very desolate and secluded, and there is no magical spiritual platform. There are few elixirs, but there are quite a lot of filthy things.
For this reason, the Xiaocang Mountains have become a gathering place for monsters and ghosts. There are more than 2,800 people on the top of this mountain alone, and there are countless monster clans, demonic and evil cultivators entrenched within them.
Naturally, the Youdao Immortal in Dongsheng Shenzhou looked down upon such a place. But they didn't like it, but Jiang Chen did. Xiaocang Mountain Range, in Jiang Chen's eyes, is a rare treasure.
First of all, in Jiang Chen's eyes, the countless demons and ghosts entrenched in the Xiaocang Mountains are just a series of merits. If he could suppress them all, then Jiang Chen would gain a lot of merit.
Secondly, the Xiaocang Mountains themselves are a huge treasure.
Even though it has declined now and has become a famous barren mountain, the Xiaocang Mountains were famous during the ancient times.
Cangshan Mountain, one of the 365 ancient sacred mountains, is known as the land of heaven. It has given birth to countless masters, and it is not inferior to any top cave in the prehistoric times.
Even if such a place has declined due to the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, it still has the foundation of the past. If it is carefully modified, it may not be impossible to transform it into the top cave heaven paradise in the three realms in one fell swoop.
As for how to change it? That's simple, just rely on the power of heaven and earth. The way of formation is to use the power of heaven and earth for one's own use.
After Jiang Chen has suppressed all the demons and ghosts in the mountains, he can set up a peerless formation in the Xiaocang Mountains, change the weather, change the terrain, and then refine all the filthy air in the mountains.
At that time, the entire Xiaocang Mountain Range will be completely new, spiritual veins will be regenerated, and the grandeur of the ancient times will gradually be restored.
The reason why Jiang Chen fell in love with the Xiaocang Mountains was precisely because of this.
After he completes the transformation of the Xiaocang Mountains and turns the barren mountains and rivers into the famous cave heaven and blessed land in the three realms, how much merit will he gain? At the very least, it will not be less meritorious than pacifying the ghosts in Shu.
Although saving people has merit, most immortals will not do it if it is not necessary. Because saving people has great consequences. If you save good people, then that's it. But if the people you want to save are bad and evil people, you will be in big trouble.
If you save him, if he does evil in the future, this karma will also be counted on your head.
God is selfless and won't care so much. Since you saved him, you must bear part of the responsibility for what he does in the future.
For this reason, many immortals are unwilling to save people. Even if you are going to save someone, you must check the character of the person being rescued again and again, and only after confirming that there are no problems, will you take action.
Of course, many immortals are still willing to help such a being as the Ninth World Good Man.
There is chaos in Shu, and the evil spirits are destroying all living beings. Why is no one coming to save it? Do you really think there are no masters in the Three Realms? Are the gods in heaven, the immortals in the earthly realm, the Buddhas in Lingshan, and the bodhisattvas and arhats all dead?
Why don't they take action? Of course, I have to worry about the cause and effect. If we take this action, we will save millions or tens of millions of living beings. Who knows how much evil these living beings will do in their lifetime?
Yes, it’s how much evil is done, not how many people do it. No one can live without doing a single evil deed. It should be noted that quarrels are also evil.
According to this calculation, a person can only do one evil deed in his life. If millions or tens of millions of living beings accumulate, it will be millions or tens of millions of evil deeds. How much karma will this produce? How many people can bear it?
Therefore, since the chaos broke out in Shu, no master from the three realms took action. They thought that after all the people in Shu were dead or injured, they would come out to clean up the mess. In this way, the cause and effect of saving people can be minimized.
There is nothing to complain about. It is human nature to protect oneself wisely.
None of us are saints, so there is no reason to sacrifice ourselves to save others. You can save people, but you have to do what you can and don't involve yourself.
That is, Jiang Chen, who has noble moral character, has a heart for the common people, and has the legacy of the ancient Holy Emperor, so he took action to save people regardless of the monstrous cause and effect.
For this, Jiang Chen also paid a huge price. Do you really think that the merit of pacifying the ghosts in Shu is so easy to obtain?
How great it feels when you get merit in the first place, how miserable it will be in the future, no, it will be even worse.
Ever since Jiang Chen put down the chaos in Shu, there were traces of karma coming from the void and submerging into his body.
This is the cause and effect of saving people.
Now, I can't see anything, but if I wait for a long time, this karma will definitely be much more than the merits Jiang Chen got.
Saving people is so troublesome.
This is why, in ancient times, when earthquakes and floods broke out, few immortals came forward to save people. If there was no cause and effect, they would have rescued people long ago, and there would not be so many natural disasters in the world.
Of course, Jiang Chen’s hard work didn’t mean he gained nothing. His greatest gain is not merit, but capital, the capital of becoming an emperor.
If you want to become the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth, it is not enough to have cultivation skills, you must also look at your character. If you don't have extraordinary moral character, how can you become the supreme master of heaven and earth and rule the world?
At the moment, Jiang Chen's actions have no effect, but when he competes with others for the position of Emperor Ziwei, this will be his capital, proving that his character is good enough, otherwise he will be kicked off directly.
If you want to become an emperor, you must start with small things and gather them bit by bit. Finally, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes, forming a brilliant trend that will sweep through the three realms in one fell swoop.

Saving people has a great cause and effect, but improving the environment does not. This is a great good deed that will last forever.
Saving people is beneficial to humanity, but not beneficial to heaven. Therefore, no matter how many people are saved, they will not be favored by heaven. It is possible to obtain merit, but it cannot be said to be great merit.
What is an act of great merit?
That is to make up for the shortcomings of heaven and earth and promote the development of heaven and earth.
For example, the emperor established heaven, the witch clan ruled the earth, Nuwa repaired the sky, Zhen Yuanzi integrated the earth's veins, Houtu transformed reincarnation, etc. Only such major events can be regarded as great meritorious deeds.
Jiang Chen's transformation of barren mountains and rivers into caves and blessed lands cannot be compared with the above examples, but they are essentially the same, and they all promote the development of the ancient world.
Of course, if one day, the Xiaocang Mountain Range can regain its ancient glory in Jiang Chen's hands, and once again stand on the top of the mountains, it will become the Ancient Cangshan Mountain, which is known as the land of heaven.
Then, Jiang Chen has really touched the edge of great merit.
There are three hundred and sixty-five ancient sacred mountains in the prehistoric times. Each one is unique and has special significance to the world.
Therefore, every time an ancient sacred mountain is restored, it will shake the heavens and bestow a large amount of merit. The amount of merit is enough to enable a mortal to directly achieve the realm of innate Taoism.
If someone could restore all three hundred and sixty-five ancient sacred mountains, then the merits gained by this person would be enough to make him a saint. Moreover, for such a person, Heaven will not be stingy with a holy position.
This is a road to sainthood, and many people know about it. Heaven has not concealed this news. It can be said that it was deliberately released to tempt those with great supernatural powers to follow this road.
It's a pity that although Tiandao's plan is good, no one with great supernatural powers will take this path. Just because the head of the three hundred and sixty-five ancient sacred mountains is called Mount Buzhou.
No one can repair Mount Buzhou, so this is a dead end.
Of course, Jiang Chen didn't intend to take this path. In fact, he can't even restore Cangshan Mountain now, let alone the other ancient sacred mountains.
At the moment, all Jiang Chen can do is to try his best to improve the environment of the Xiaocang Mountains, so that it can regain some of the atmosphere of the ancient Cangshan Mountains.
As for whether the Xiaocang Mountain Range can be transformed into the Taikoo Cang Mountain again, it depends on Jiang Chen's future fortune. If possible, Jiang Chen would definitely be willing to restore Xiaocang Mountain Range to Taigu Cang Mountain.
Even if it is not for the great merit that can make a person become an innate Taoist, just to have an ancient sacred mountain as a dojo is enough for Jiang Chen to do this without leaving any room.
After the fall of Pangu, the ancient sacred mountain was transformed into flesh and blood and spirit, which contained great good fortune and inherited a ray of innate destiny. If a monk obtains it and refines its origin, he will surely be able to reach the realm of the innate Taoist Lord in this life.
It can be said that every ancient sacred mountain is a Taoist Taoist Taoist fruit growing on the earth, a treasure of heaven and earth.

On the school field outside the Demon-Conquering Hall, all seven thousand Demon-Conquering Heavenly Soldiers were present and stood quietly in the field, waiting for Jiang Chen's instructions.
This time, Jiang Chen was determined to capture the Xiaocang Mountains. Therefore, he not only mobilized all the demon-suppressing heavenly soldiers, but also went to the Pegasus Ranch to get 7,000 of the best Pegasus horses to match these demon-suppressing heavenly soldiers.
Speaking of these seven thousand Pegasus, Jiang Chen was also very angry. He originally thought that with his current status, it would be very easy to ask for seven thousand fine Pegasus horses.
But who knew that the people in the Tianma Prison would only give him 7,000 of the most ordinary Pegasus horses. If you want a high-quality Pegasus, there is no way. Jiang Chen couldn't even go and ask for it in person, it would make such a fuss and lose face.
In the end, Jiang Chen's senior brothers got the news and went to the Wude Temple in person, and then they got the Pegasus down.
It was this incident that made Jiang Chen remember a person, the Lord of Martial Arts, the Lord of Martial Arts. He was in charge of the horse warden that day.
In other words, it was Jiang Chen who was making things difficult for him.
