Is this the might of the Heavenly Dao? Longevity Immortal Venerable, still a Quasi-Saint, yet so composed!

Ming He and Queen Mother of the West, two ancient great powers, arrived with Zhen Yuanzi.

Seeing the vast heavenly might and Lu Changqing, who the Heavenly Dao yielded to, Ming He couldn't help but sigh:

Longevity Immortal Venerable is truly the most unfathomable being in the Primordial World!

Queen Mother of the West gazed at Lu Changqing, recalling how many of the Primordial World's changes over the years were due to him. She felt a surge of emotion:

To summon the Heavenly Dao with a mere word, even the Dao Ancestor could hardly achieve this.

Could it be that Longevity Immortal Venerable is not a Quasi-Saint?

At this moment, the Six Saints, who had retreated tens of thousands of miles away, also felt their minds shaken upon seeing the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel.

Seeing Lu Changqing, to whom the Heavenly Dao showed favor, they were even more astonished.

Since the creation of the world, the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel has never appeared, yet today it made an exception for Lu Changqing?!

Nuwa looked at Lu Changqing, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

What kind of origin does a being who can make the Heavenly Dao yield possess?

The Three Pure Ones were also speechless with shock.

Could Fellow Daoist Changqing be a reincarnation of a top-tier Chaos Demon God? No, even if he were a reincarnated Demon God, it would be absolutely impossible to make the Heavenly Dao act like this!

The Grand Pure One Laozi exclaimed.

This is the supreme Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, the master of all beings.

Even Saints are like ants before the Heavenly Dao.

Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded in agreement, lamenting how awe-inspiring Lu Changqing was.

Longevity Immortal Venerable truly has profound fortune.

We must visit Wuji Heaven more often. If we can befriend the Immortal Venerable, it will be of great benefit to the West!

The Two Saints of the West, while shocked by the Heavenly Dao's personal appearance, were already secretly plotting.

We must establish good karma with Lu Changqing—he is clearly a walking opportunity.

If necessary, we can even offer assistance and sow the seeds of karma.

After all, if Lu Changqing were to fall, how could the West hope for prosperity?

However, to be fair, only Lu Changqing in all of heaven and earth dares to converse with the Heavenly Dao in such a manner.

Ordinary beings, even Saints, or even Dao Ancestor Hongjun, would be punished by world-ending divine lightning if they spoke like this.

Deep within the Chaos Void, a surprised whisper came from Purple Heaven Palace:

The Heavenly Dao actually manifested a golden bridge of auspicious clouds for Lu Changqing?

The Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World wore an astonished expression.

One must know that the Heavenly Dao is the supreme law of the Primordial World, always above all things. Yet today, it responded to a summons like a servant?

What puzzled Hongjun even more was that the Heavenly Dao did not lack Merit in the first place. How could a mere mortal being, even with immense Merit, be compared to the Heavenly Dao?

As Hongjun was filled with suspicion and uncertainty, Lu Changqing had already ascended the golden bridge, soaring upwards.

All beings in the Primordial World held their breath, watching as the figure in the green robe ignored the Heavenly Dao's pressure and calmly walked before the Divine Wheel.

This... gasps of surprise echoed throughout the Primordial World.

One must know that the Heavenly Dao's pressure was enough to make a Saint's soul tremble, yet this peak Quasi-Saint Immortal Venerable walked as if on level ground.

"Old Brother Heavenly Dao," Lu Changqing cupped his hands towards the Divine Wheel, "I invited you to appear today because I wanted to discuss a small matter."

All beings were shocked upon hearing this.

With such a casual tone, wouldn't he provoke heavenly punishment?

Unexpectedly, the Divine Wheel vibrated, and a will was transmitted back.

The Heavenly Dao responded?! Countless cultivators turned pale with shock.

The Six Saints exchanged bewildered glances—if they had dared to summon the Heavenly Dao like this, they would have long been struck to ashes by divine lightning from the nine heavens.

Lu Changqing chuckled, "I wish to bestow great Merit, but I lack manpower.

I'd like to ask you to distribute it on my behalf, and I will naturally compensate you."

In Purple Heaven Palace, Hongjun revealed a playful expression.

He admitted that Lu Changqing possessed profound Merit, but to flaunt the amount of Merit to the Heavenly Dao? It was simply laughable.

As expected, the Heavenly Dao transmitted a fluctuation tinged with amusement: "Not interested."

All beings understood and chuckled.

To compare Merit with the Heavenly Dao? Even an Immortal Venerable who was the embodiment of Merit was too arrogant.

"Not enough?" Lu Changqing was unfazed. "For every distribution, you can take one ten-thousandth."

As soon as the words fell, trillions of Merit transformed into auspicious clouds, filling the sky.

Brilliant golden light illuminated the Primordial World, forcing even Hongjun to close his eyes to avoid its brilliance.

This... Hongjun's divine sense swept over, and he felt his scalp tingle.

The Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel actually stopped, emitting waves of shock—Heavenly Dao itself, with all its Merit, was inferior to a mere living being!

Nuwa only spent tens of millions of Merit to become a Saint. With trillions of Merit, coupled with Primordial Violet Qi, how many Saints could be created? As all beings stood dumbfounded, Lu Changqing retracted the golden light.

"A mere trillion, hardly worth mentioning." He cupped his hands with a smile, "I'll trouble you with the rest, old brother Heavenly Dao."

Heaven and Earth fell silent.

Trillions... and he called it not much?

Just as all beings were petrified, Heavenly Dao was the first to recover.

Although it was shocked by the immense amount of Merit, due to its special nature, it refused again—Heavenly Dao sought only the prosperity of the Primordial World.

What a shame about that hundred million Merit... the great powers secretly clicked their tongues, but they were even more curious about what other gifts the Immortal Venerable could offer.

Having Heavenly Dao personally intervene was already a great favor.

To offer nothing in return would be truly unreasonable.

As all beings speculated about what treasures Lu Changqing would produce, he casually put away the trillions of Merit.

He suddenly remembered that Heavenly Dao did not need Merit, so he nodded and said:

"Since that's the case, let's forgo the Merit as a reward."

"Consider it a favor, old brother!"

All beings, who had been expecting more precious treasures, were stunned once more.

What was going on?

Heavenly Dao doesn't accept Merit, and you expect them to work for free?

This isn't generosity, it's outright stinginess!

Asking Heavenly Dao to help manage accounts and not even offering compensation?

Throughout the entire Primordial World, only you would dare to do this!

Upon hearing this, the Six Saints couldn't sit still either.

This person is truly something else!

Heavenly Dao was already being so accommodating, and in the end, he just said, "Just a favor from a good brother"?

That's pushing it too far!

The Grand Pure One Laozi couldn't help but sigh, "Fellow Daoist Changqing, you're going to be struck by lightning."

The other Saints nodded in agreement.

To speak to Heavenly Dao like that, if he wasn't struck by lightning, it would defy all reason.

Just as all beings in the Primordial World were in an uproar over Lu Changqing's words, the Six Saints also stared intently at the sky, fearing that the world-ending divine lightning would strike them.

However, after hearing Lu Changqing's words, Heavenly Dao did not get angry, merely remaining silent.

All beings were confused. Was Heavenly Dao considering, or was it thinking of how to punish Lu Changqing?

Even more surprising was that Lu Changqing spoke again, as if he were fearless of death:

"Hey? Old brother, give me a straight answer, yes or no! If not, I'm not opening my world!"

Lu Changqing was not seeking death.

He was certain that Heavenly Dao could do nothing to him.

Firstly, he had immeasurable Merit and profound fortune; secondly, he was promoting the evolution of the Primordial World—based on these alone, Heavenly Dao would not touch him.

After all, Heavenly Dao needed the development of the Primordial World to improve.

Lu Changqing understood this perfectly, knowing that Heavenly Dao would not refuse.

And his impatient words once again caused a huge stir.

In the blink of an eye, everyone retreated several thousand miles.

There was no other choice; everyone was afraid of being implicated when Lu Changqing was struck by lightning.

This Longevity Immortal Venerable was, after all, a top-tier great power in the Primordial World.

Asking Heavenly Dao for help without offering compensation was one thing.

But to openly challenge it like this was another.

Who could stand this?

If they were Heavenly Dao, they would have already unleashed hundreds of world-ending divine lightning bolts.

The Six Saints were also shocked by Lu Changqing's audacity.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing is truly peerlessly brave!"

As Primordial Heavenly Venerate spoke, he quietly retreated tens of thousands of miles.

He knew he couldn't bear the consequences of the Heavenly Dao's wrath.

"My elder brother speaks the truth."

Tongtian, at some unknown point, had also retreated tens of thousands of miles.

This wasn't bravery; it was practically courting death.

Let alone asking the supreme Heavenly Dao for help, Even if one asked ordinary beings for assistance, shouldn't they at least be polite without offering compensation?

Laozi retreated even further than them, another thousand miles.

The Two Saints of the West had already retreated a hundred and eight thousand miles, Watching Lu Changqing and the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel from afar.

Only Nuwa remained in her original spot, looking around and sighing softly:

"Why must all fellow daoists be so alarmed?

Even if Fellow Daoist Changqing has offended it, the supreme Heavenly Dao shouldn't directly unleash world-ending divine lightning."

Though the Heavenly Dao should not be trifled with, Nuwa had observed Lu Changqing's importance to the Heavenly Dao on several occasions.

Even if the Heavenly Dao was angered, it wouldn't truly obliterate him, At most, it would be a minor punishment.

At this moment, within the gazes of the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch Clan, Looking at Lu Changqing, there was nothing but admiration.

The disciples of the Witch Clan did not respect heaven and earth, nor did they bow to Saints.

They only revered their Father God, Pangu.

Pangu dared to contend with the heavens, to split the world and evolve the Primordial World.

That fearless spirit was precisely what they yearned for.

Lu Changqing dared to face the Heavenly Dao directly, even speaking out against it.

Such courage was exactly like their dream.

"Longevity Immortal Venerable, truly the fiercest warrior in the Primordial World!"

Di Jiang's eyes were filled with praise.

Zhu Rong also said with deep respect:

"In my life, the only ones I, Zhu Rong, admire, besides Father God Pangu, are Longevity Immortal Venerable."

And at this moment, among the Demon Clan, Demon Emperor Di Jun shook his head and sighed:

"Alas, no matter how much Merit one accumulates, they are ultimately beings under the Heavenly Dao.

Why go to such lengths?"

His impression of Lu Changqing had always been good—

Or rather, almost no living being in the entire Primordial World held any ill will towards him.

Having lived for endless eons, when had they ever seen someone like this, who was wholeheartedly for the sake of all beings?

Tai Yi also lamented:

"This is the supreme Heavenly Dao. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Changqing is thinking, To dare provoke it like this."

While Di Jun and Tai Yi were perplexed, Fu Xi frowned slightly.

Although he hadn't interacted much with Lu Changqing, He felt that Lu Changqing was not a reckless person.

However, the Heavenly Dao was, after all, the supreme existence of the Primordial World.

Speaking so disrespectfully, he might not survive.

Fu Xi said no more, He merely looked up at the sky, waiting for the Heavenly Dao's response.

Just as all beings were lost in their own thoughts, filled with dread, The Heavenly Dao finally stirred.

Within the firmament, the Heavenly Dao Divine Wheel materialized, and a pitch-black spatial rift suddenly appeared.

The Six Saints were stunned into silence.

What is happening?

The Heavenly Dao Void has actually appeared in the mortal realm?

Could it be that the Heavenly Dao is truly willing to help for free?

The response from the Heavenly Dao left the Saints utterly shocked...

For the countless beings of the Primordial World, they might not know what the Heavenly Dao Void signifies, but the Saints understood it all too well.

The Heavenly Dao Void was the most secret place of the Heavenly Dao, allowing direct access to its core order.

If a Heavenly Dao Saint were to enter it, their cultivation could be rapidly enhanced by comprehending the order, which was why it never revealed itself normally.

This was akin to the Heavenly Dao being a cultivator, and the Heavenly Dao Void being its Purple Mansion—

for a cultivator, the importance of the Purple Mansion was self-evident.

This response from the Heavenly Dao caused Hongjun, who was sipping tea, to spit out his immortal tea.

The two young attendants, Hao Tian and Yao Chi, were greatly alarmed.

They thought to themselves:

Why would the Dao Ancestor lose his composure like this?

They naturally did not know.

Hongjun, as the Spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, had been integrated with it for a long time, yet he had never set foot in the Heavenly Dao Void even once.

If he could enter, he was confident that with his own aptitude, he would have integrated with the Dao much faster.

However, the Heavenly Dao had never given him the opportunity, preventing him from truly comprehending its profound meaning.

Yet, Lu Changqing, merely a Quasi-Saint, was actually permitted by the Heavenly Dao to enter.

This was like a peerless beauty ignoring someone who had pursued her relentlessly, only to turn and embrace another.

Such a disparity was difficult for anyone to accept calmly, let alone the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Thinking of this, Hongjun's face turned ashen.

Catching sight of the two young attendants staring at him in surprise from the corner of his eye, he immediately regained his composure and secretly calmed his mind.

I am the Dao Ancestor, how could I be jealous of such a being!

Though myriad thoughts swirled in his mind, he could not completely hide that hint of bitterness.

To endure for a moment, rage burns within; to step back, unwillingness lingers in the heart!

How can I just let this be?

"Crack!"

The teacup made of Chaos Immortal Jade in Hongjun's hand instantly turned to dust.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi exchanged a glance and quietly retreated.

At this moment, the Dao Ancestor was not to be trifled with; it was best to leave quickly.

Although the beings of the Primordial World did not know what the Heavenly Dao Void was, they still felt a sense of shock upon seeing the celestial anomaly, though they were unaware of its cause.

Lu Changqing gazed at the void, a slight smile playing on his lips, and stepped into it without hesitation.

He had long known the Heavenly Dao's weakness and thus had no fear of its harm.

Before the Six Saints could recover, Lu Changqing had already entered the Heavenly Dao Void, leaving all the Saints astonished.

He could actually go in?

Since the beginning of the Primordial World, he was the first being to step into this place.

What was even more unbelievable was that a place even the Saints had never set foot in was now claimed by a mere Quasi-Saint?

It was truly inconceivable.

The place that the Saints sought but could not obtain, Lu Changqing entered as if strolling through a leisurely garden.

Upon entering the void, the surroundings were pitch-black and boundless, vast and infinite.

Distant starlight twinkled, each point representing a sentient being.

The River of Destiny manifested within, brilliant like a galaxy, reflecting the paths of all beings.

This place was like the central hub of the Primordial World, governing all laws.

The Eye of Heavenly Punishment slowly opened from the depths of the starry sky, gazing at Lu Changqing as if probing his origins.

A being from the Primordial World actually possessed Merit that surpassed the Heavenly Dao, causing even the Heavenly Dao to feel surprised.

Lu Changqing paid no mind to the gaze of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment and spoke with a smile:
