Eavesdropping on Inner Thoughts, Yunxiao Draws Her Sword to Chop Dingguang Immortal at the Start

As he spoke, Zhunti the Daoist flipped his hand, revealing a Thousand-Eyed Bodhi Seed. He looked at Tongtian Cult Master and said, "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, this is my original Bodhi Seed, containing immeasurable magical power. As long as you let Li Xiao join my Western Sect, this Bodhi Seed will be yours. What do you say?"

Tongtian Cult Master looked at Zhunti the Daoist with disdain, curling his lips. "Hmph, Zhunti, I see you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. You're still trying to bargain with me here, truly seeking death!"

As he spoke, Tongtian Cult Master flicked his finger at Zhunti the Daoist. With a "clang," a sword cry rang out. The Qingping Sword whistled out, transforming into a stream of light, and slashed directly at Zhunti the Daoist.

Zhunti the Daoist was startled and quickly flipped his hand, revealing the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and gave it a mighty sweep.

In an instant, the seven-colored treasure light of Buddhism erupted, forming a seven-colored ribbon that fiercely struck the Qingping Sword.

"Boom..."

The collision of two Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures unleashed an incomparable shockwave. A terrifying aura instantly surged outwards like a tide, engulfing everything and flattening everything within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles.

Gold, silver, and other items fell with a clatter. Zhunti the Daoist felt a pang of heartache, exclaiming in anger, "Tongtian, you..."

"Hmph, Zhunti, since you're seeking death, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Tongtian Cult Master roared in fury. He shook his arms, and the vast expanse of auspicious clouds behind his head leaped out. Within it, the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram and the Four Immortal Slaying Swords shone brilliantly, unleashing infinite sword light that surged into the heavens.

Zhunti the Daoist's pupils contracted sharply. He no longer dared to linger. He quickly tore open the void and fled into it, escaping back to the Western Sect as if fleeing for his life.

"Hmph!"

Tongtian Cult Master snorted coldly, retracted his auspicious clouds, glanced at the ancestral land of the Human Race, and then also turned and fled into the void, returning to Golden Ao Island.

Tongtian Cult Master's display of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys was clearly effective!

The Saints of all heavens no longer dared to make any moves.

In the ancestral land of the Human Race, Li Xiao flipped his hand, revealing the immeasurable merit he had recently acquired.

After these dozen or so acquisitions of merit, Li Xiao had accumulated a massive amount of it.

Hesitating for a moment, Li Xiao flipped his hand, revealing a sword, and then poured all his ill-gotten merit into it.

That sword was originally an ordinary sword, but as the ill-gotten merit entered its body, its grade instantly soared, turning it into a treasure of merit.

"Good treasure, good treasure. I'll call you the Wuji Sword..."

Li Xiao examined the Wuji Sword, thinking that with this treasure of merit, he would no longer have to worry about the erosion of karma when killing and plundering in the future.

Although Li Xiao could use the Chaos Bead to shield himself from the Heavenly Dao, preventing it from finding him and avoiding the erosion of karma, it was still not as satisfying as directly using a treasure of merit to kill and seize treasures.

After examining the Wuji Sword again, Li Xiao rode the clouds leisurely towards Penglai Immortal Island.

"So tired, I need a good rest..."

Upon returning to his dojo, Li Xiao relaxed and fell asleep on the rocking chair.

After an unknown amount of time, a stream of light shot over. As the light faded, a beautiful figure was revealed – it was Yunxiao.

Yunxiao looked at Li Xiao, who was sleeping soundly. She examined his chiseled face and delicate features, and for some reason, her pretty face turned red.

"Junior Sister Yunxiao, aren't I handsome, Senior Brother? Have I dazed you so much that you're completely smitten?"

Just then, Li Xiao opened his eyes, a mischievous smile on his face.

"Ah..."

Yunxiao was startled. Her pretty face turned even redder, even her neck and earlobes flushed. Her cheeks were as rosy as two ripe red apples, making one want to take a bite.

"Pfft, Fifth Senior Brother, you're so narcissistic..."

Yunxiao's heart pounded like a little deer's. She spat, covering her face to hide her inner panic.

Li Xiao smiled but said nothing, merely staring at Yunxiao.

"Ding..."

"Host, you are staring at the beautiful Yunxiao, and your mood is very pleasant. Reward: hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation, breaking through to the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!"

Just then, the system's voice sounded.

The next moment, a mysterious power surged into Li Xiao's body.

The auspicious clouds behind Li Xiao's head leaped out, revealing the phenomena of Three Flowers Gathering on the Crown and Five Energies Returning to the Source. At this moment, the three flowers behind his head had fully bloomed, emitting a charming luster and Dao rhythm.

This was the peak realm of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Yunxiao was stunned and said happily, "Senior Brother Li Xiao is indeed powerful. Having broken through to the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm and possessing so much merit, it should not be long before you can sever your good corpse and break through to the Quasi-Saint realm!"

"Severing the corpse? Breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm? That's impossible..."

Li Xiao rolled his eyes and sat back down on the rocking chair, continuing to bask in the sun.

"What?"

Yunxiao was dumbfounded.

Li Xiao flipped his hand, revealing the Wuji Sword, and said with a smile, "I poured all the merit I obtained into this sword and got a treasure of merit..."

"You... Senior Brother Li Xiao, you... you didn't use such immense merit for cultivation but poured it into a treasure. This... this is simply a waste of heavenly resources, a waste of heavenly resources, you..."

Upon seeing this, Yunxiao immediately became agitated, saying furiously.

"Junior Sister Yunxiao, you don't understand..."

Li Xiao was unconcerned. He put away the Wuji Sword and continued to bask in the sun.

"Ding..."

"You teased Junior Sister Yunxiao, your mood is pleasant, Comprehension +1."

"Ding..."

"You basked in the sun, carefree and joyful, Bloodline +1."

The system's voice rang out continuously.

Beside him, Yunxiao looked like a wronged little wife, pouting and glaring fiercely at Li Xiao.

[Oh dear, Junior Sister Yunxiao, you don't understand. This merit is actually like the Primordial Violet Qi; it's all a bit tricky. If you use this to break through your cultivation, your future achievements might be limited. If you want to break through the Heavenly Dao, it's probably hopeless...]

Just then, Yunxiao heard Li Xiao's thoughts.

Yunxiao froze, looking at Li Xiao with disbelief, and exclaimed in her heart, "So merit has such secrets? This..."

After a moment of stunned silence, Yunxiao cupped her hands towards Li Xiao and said, "Fifth Senior Brother, I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave!"

With that, Yunxiao turned into a stream of light and fled towards Golden Ao Island.

Upon arriving at Golden Ao Island and entering Biyou Palace, she met the Tongtian Cult Master. Yunxiao cupped her hands towards him and said, "Disciple greets Teacher!"

The Tongtian Cult Master waved his large sleeve, set up numerous restrictions, and looked at Yunxiao, smiling, "Yunxiao, you just came from Penglai Immortal Island, didn't you? How was it? Li Xiao, that brat, obtained so much merit. I expect that in the near future, our Intercepting Sect will have another Quasi-Saint mighty figure..."

Chapter 65: The Tongtian Cult Master Was Almost Angered to Death

"That... that Teacher, you might be disappointed. Senior Brother Li Xiao probably won't be able to break through to Quasi-Saint in a short time..."

Yunxiao said with an embarrassed look at the Tongtian Cult Master.

The Tongtian Cult Master froze and looked at Yunxiao, asking, "What do you mean? That brat obtained so much merit, and he can use it to sever his good corpse. It shouldn't be difficult. How can he not break through?"

Yunxiao looked at the Tongtian Cult Master and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, Senior Brother Li Xiao has poured all the merit he obtained into a sword..."

Pfft...

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Cult Master almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Yunxiao with shock and anger, exclaiming, "What? What did you say? That brat poured all the merit into a sword? This, this, this... what a waste, what a waste! Ahhh, it's infuriating! This unfilial disciple, unfilial disciple, to be so wasteful! That's merit, he... how could he do this? He..."

At this moment, the Tongtian Cult Master was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, jumping high, furious, and spewing foul language. It was clear that Li Xiao had angered him greatly.

"That... that Teacher, please don't get agitated. There's a hidden reason for this..."

Yunxiao quickly said.

"A hidden reason? What hidden reason? That brat doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. He obtained some merit, and now he's so arrogant, wasting it! He didn't use it to improve his cultivation, but... but poured all the merit into a sword. What good is merit then? He... no, my heart, my liver, I'm almost being angered to death by that unfilial disciple, I..."

The Tongtian Cult Master sat on the cloud bed, stroking his chest, as if he might die at any moment.

Yunxiao looked at the Tongtian Cult Master helplessly and said with a wry smile, "Teacher, there really is a hidden reason. I heard Senior Brother Li Xiao's thoughts. He said... he said that merit is also tricky, like the Primordial Violet Qi. If one uses merit to improve their cultivation, they might be bound by the Heavenly Dao in the future..."

"What? Merit is also tricky? This..."

The Tongtian Cult Master's eyes widened. His old face twitched violently, and he looked at Yunxiao with disbelief, asking, "Yunxiao, are you sure you heard correctly?"

Yunxiao quickly cupped her hands and said, "Teacher, for such an important matter, how could I possibly mishear..."

"This... I didn't expect, I didn't expect that merit had such a secret..."

The Tongtian Cult Master's heart was in turmoil. His rage turned to shock. His usually calm Dao heart stirred with a thousand waves, and he was utterly astounded.

After composing himself, the Tongtian Cult Master looked at Yunxiao and asked, "Yunxiao, do you know how that brat Li Xiao found out about the trickiness of merit?"

"This... Senior Brother Li Xiao didn't say, and I don't know either..."

Yunxiao quickly cupped her hands.

The Tongtian Cult Master nodded, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, Yunxiao, you may withdraw."

"Teacher, take care. Disciple takes his leave!"

Yunxiao cupped her hands towards the Tongtian Cult Master again, then bowed and withdrew from Biyou Palace.

"How many secrets is that brat hiding? He actually... actually knows such profound secrets. This..."

In Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Cult Master's shocked voice could be faintly heard.

East Sea Dragon Palace.

Zhu Long sat in the main seat, while the three Dragon Kings paced anxiously on the ground. Only the Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea was missing.

It turned out that Li Xiao had caused such a huge stir that the Dragon Clan naturally knew about it!

The Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea had sent people to gather information.

That mysterious mighty figure had consecutively schemed for merit over a dozen times within a decade. Such planning was unparalleled in the world. If the Dragon Clan could gain the protection of this mighty figure, they would surely be freed from the shackles of karma.

The Dragon Clan viewed the mysterious figure who sought merit as an opportunity, an opportunity for the Dragon Clan to rise again!

"Ancestor, Ancestor..."
