If not for the Great Master, how could the Primordial World have reached this day?

We would also never be able to attain Hunyuan!

The Great Master will surely be remembered for generations!

Ming He and Kunpeng praised him repeatedly.

"Alright."

"Hurry and open up new worlds."

"The important task of pioneering will be left to Fellow Daoist Ming He."

East King Duke said to the three of them, Knowing that the Great Master valued persistence, he did not delay further, and immediately threw himself into the work of creating worlds.

Ming He was then responsible for overseeing the great undertaking of pioneering.

***

On Shouyang Mountain.

RUMBLE--

Ten thousand feet of golden light shot straight into the sky, and endless laws enveloped the mountaintop.

In the void, boundless Saintly Might permeated the air.

All beings in heaven and earth were shaken.

Lu Changqing also looked up, appearing slightly surprised.

"Laozi's cultivation has broken through again."

"His progress is quite fast."

"Good, with higher cultivation, his work will be more efficient."

He murmured to himself.

***

Inside the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Laozi's heart surged with emotion. If not for maintaining his dignity as a Saint, he would have almost burst into laughter.

He was only one step away from becoming a Hunyuan Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal!

As long as he accumulated a little more Merit, he would surely be able to attain the Dao.

Wouldn't that put him directly in pursuit of the Dao Ancestor?

Thinking of this, Laozi was extremely excited.

All of this was thanks to Wuji Heaven, and thanks to Fellow Daoist Changqing!

He truly wholeheartedly brought opportunities to everyone!

Although opening up worlds was quite arduous, the **breakthrough in his cultivation made his fatigue vanish completely, making him wish he could open up countless Great Thousand Worlds.

Accumulate more Merit.

And reach the realm of Hunyuan Limitless Great Luo Golden Immortal in one fell swoop.

***

Deep within the chaos beyond the heavens.

Hongjun could no longer sit still.

This was simply absurd!

Laozi had actually cultivated to the ninth heaven of Hunyuan!

How much time had passed? If Laozi caught up in cultivation, what would happen to his dignity as a master?

They absolutely could not be allowed to continue acquiring Merit so brazenly.

If he continued to cultivate at the usual pace, he didn't know when he would break through.

But he also felt troubled—Lu Changqing had invited him before, and he had flatly refused.

If he went now, wouldn't that be slapping himself in the face?

He could not appear in person.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a way to exchange for Merit.

He then sent a telepathic message to summon the two young attendants, Hao Tian and Yao Chi.

Great Master!

The two bowed respectfully.

Hongjun waved his hand, and a Five-Needle Pine, one of the Ten Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots, appeared before them.

There was also a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, its pressure vast and its spiritual essence flowing.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi were stunned.

What did the Dao Ancestor mean by this?

Inside the Purple Heaven Palace.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi were both shocked by the Dao Ancestor's actions, their faces filled with confusion.

A Five-Needle Pine, one of the Ten Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots.

And a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

Why did the Dao Ancestor suddenly produce these items?

Hongjun looked at the two and instructed, "Take these two items and go to Wuji Heaven in your names to exchange for Merit."

"Do you understand?"

Hongjun's expression was calm, but he was secretly pleased.

It was inconvenient for him to appear himself, but by sending Hao Tian and Yao Chi, no one would know it was his arrangement.

This was a perfect plan.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi became even more confused.

The Dao Ancestor wanted them to take treasures to Wuji Heaven to exchange for Merit?

Could it be that even the Dao Ancestor needed to sell treasures?

Or... was Wuji Heaven offering too much?

Hao Tian wondered if the Dao Ancestor had a deeper meaning.

In the past, the Dao Ancestor had always remained in Purple Heaven Palace and had no good feelings towards that Longevity Immortal Venerable.

Why would he suddenly want to exchange treasures for Merit?

Yao Chi, on the other hand, marveled at the Great Master's profound background.

That treasure's aura was majestic, and its Dao rhythm was magnificent, clearly surpassing a Primordial Supreme Treasure.

It was actually a Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

It was truly shocking that the Great Master had such a precious treasure hidden away.

"Great Master, why do you want us to go in our names?"

Hao Tian asked cautiously.

Hongjun glanced at him, naturally unable to tell the truth.

Otherwise, what would become of his dignity as the Great Master?

So he said calmly, "This is the will of heaven."

"Just go, as I told you to."

Hao Tian and Yao Chi had no choice but to accept the order.

Hongjun watched the two leave Purple霄 Palace, waiting for the Merit to arrive.

A Chaos Spiritual Treasure and a top-grade innate spiritual root.

They should be able to exchange for quite a bit of Merit, right?

Judging by Lu Changqing's generosity, the Merit wouldn't be stingy.

It almost made him feel a little anticipation.

***

Outside Wuji Heaven.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi entered the Heaven directly without any obstruction.

As soon as they entered, the two felt as if they had arrived in a fairyland.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth that rushed towards them was tens of millions of times more concentrated than in Purple Heaven Palace.

Every pore in their bodies seemed to relax.

Why was the spiritual energy in Wuji Heaven so dense?

How did they achieve this?

Even Purple霄 Palace couldn't compare!

Hao Tian's face showed shock.

I once thought the Purple Heaven Palace was the highest sacred land in the Primordial World, but compared to Boundless Heaven, it's like a thatched hut next to a palace.

They are completely incomparable.

The two walked forward in astonishment and then saw a large expanse of Chaos Stone.

How much?

Enough to pave the entire ground!

What?!

They paved the ground with Chaos Stone?

How can they be so wasteful?!

Hao Tian said indignantly.

Yao Chi pointed into the distance with trembling hands: What is that!

Isn't that the Saint Laozi's Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda?

Why is it hanging from the eaves like a wind chime!

What?!

Using the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda as decoration?

Hao Tian couldn't believe it and looked closely, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

It's actually real!

This is simply insane!

This is too much!

Not only that, but the green plants around the palace are all innate spiritual roots!

Not only has the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda become a decoration, but there are also many top-grade innate spiritual treasures, all casually hung on this magnificent palace.

If it's not decoration, then what is it?

What a luxurious place this is!

The two no longer wanted to think about the Purple Heaven Palace; it couldn't be compared to this place at all!

"That palace ahead should be where the Longevity Immortal Venerable resides."

Yao Chi said in a low voice.

She was pointing at the one from which the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was hanging.

Being able to use a Merit Supreme Treasure as decoration, it must be the residence of the Longevity Immortal Venerable.

Moreover, the Dao charm in the palace was profound, and the pressure was immense.

There seemed to be an immortal aura circulating within the palace.

The two straightened their clothes and entered with solemn expressions, bowing: "Greetings, Longevity Immortal Venerable!"

Lu Changqing's eyebrows twitched slightly. Aren't these the two young attendants under Hongjun?

How did they end up in his Wuji Heaven?

Could it be that Hongjun finally came to his senses and is willing to earn Merit?

"Did Hongjun send you here?"

Lu Changqing asked.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi were about to say yes when they suddenly remembered the Dao Ancestor's instructions and hurriedly waved their hands: "No!

It was we who voluntarily came to exchange for Merit!"

With that, they presented a Five-Needle Pine. This is one of the Ten Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Roots, its spiritual light swirling, and auspicious energy flowing in streams.

The Five-Needle Pine is the only item among innate spiritual roots that can be used for artifact refining.

If skillfully refined, it would surely become a rare treasure.

However, Lu Changqing was not interested and merely chuckled: "This pine tree looks vigorous. It's perfect for planting in front of the door as a scenic view."

Hao Tian's wrist trembled upon hearing this, and he almost dropped the Chaos Spiritual Treasure in his arms.

What did he just hear?!

A top-grade innate spiritual root was to be used as a mere decoration?

What a waste!

This is what it means to cast pearls before swine!

As mixed emotions surged within him, He took out another Chaos Spiritual Sword: This is the Sword of Destruction!

The Sword of Destruction!

It was the accompanying supreme treasure of the Demon God of Destruction among the three thousand Demon Gods in ancient times, possessing peerless power, Containing the supreme Great Dao of Destruction.

Once this sword is unsheathed, even the Primordial World can be split apart, Mountains collapsing and the earth cracking are but trivial matters.

These two are indeed extraordinary items.

Kong Xuan, who was standing by, clicked his tongue in amazement.

Chaos Spiritual Treasure!

Top-grade innate spiritual root!

Both are rare treasures!

How could they be carried by two mere boys?

Aren't they afraid of being coveted?

Nowadays, the Primordial World is filled with Quasi-Saints emerging one after another, And Grand Unity Golden Immortals are as numerous as cow hair.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi are only at the late stage of Grand Unity cultivation, Carrying such heavy treasures, are they truly not afraid?

Thinking again that the Dao Ancestor stood behind them, he felt relieved.

In this world, who would dare to touch the Dao Ancestor's belongings?

Was it not really Hongjun's instruction?

Lu Changqing asked again.

He knew very well that this must be Hongjun's directive.

Otherwise, with their identities, how could they obtain Chaos Spiritual Treasures? This item must be one of Hongjun's most treasured possessions.

He never expected that old Daoist to still have Chaos Spiritual Treasures, And likely more than one.

Since he was willing to trade them for Merit, he must have more in stock.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi did not dare to answer and merely shook their heads.

Seeing their reaction, Lu Changqing stopped asking and changed the subject: As for the Five-Needle Pine...

Let's say five million Merit."

Upon hearing this, Hao Tian and Yao Chi's faces lit up with joy.

Five million Merit!

Heavens!

When had they ever seen such a massive amount of Merit!

As expected of the Longevity Immortal Venerable, his actions are always extraordinary!

As for the Chaos Spiritual Treasure, it is indeed a rare item."

I'll say thirty million Merit."

Lu Changqing said calmly.

With a casual remark, thirty million Merit was offered.

Still immersed in the five million ** , the two were completely stunned.

They couldn't recover for a long time.

Thirty million?

Did they hear correctly?

Did the Immortal Venerable really say thirty million Merit?!

What an astonishing sum!

Seeing their silence, Lu Changqing intended to test the System's bottom line.

Treasures like Chaos Spiritual Treasures are expensive, so it's reasonable to ask for a higher price, right?

The System shouldn't say anything, right?

It seems they are not satisfied!

Then let's add another ten million, how about forty million?

Lu Changqing said directly.

Hao Tian hurriedly waved his hands, his tongue tied: "No... no need..."

Lu Changqing smiled, "You still think it's too little?"

"As a Chaos Spiritual Treasure, it is indeed precious!"

"How about fifty million Merit?"

Hao Tian and Yao Chi were completely stunned.

They had long heard that the Longevity Immortal Venerable was a master of bargaining.

Seeing him today, he truly lived up to his reputation!

Before he could finish speaking, the Immortal Venerable was already eager to raise the price.

This was too terrifying!

Could it be that Merit was burning a hole in their hands?

Seeing that the System still had no reaction, Lu Changqing continued, "Sixty million!!"

Hao Tian and Yao Chi trembled all over.

They were on the verge of tears.

"Immortal Venerable!"

"Please, stop adding! We really can't take it anymore!"

"We've never seen so much Merit in our lives!"

"We probably won't have this opportunity again in the future!"

At this moment, the System prompted: "Host, it's time to stop. Sixty million for a Chaos Spiritual Treasure is already overpriced!"

The System was also helpless. If it didn't speak up again, this person might raise the price to trillions.

This was going to shake the heavens!

"Why not just give away all the Merit!"

"Can't we just negotiate normally!"

"My heart is weary!"

Seeing the System speak, Lu Changqing stopped bidding and decided to quit while he was ahead.

He put away the two treasures and directly took out sixty-five million Merit.

With a boom!

Golden light like the great sun in the sky, so bright it made Hao Tian and Yao Chi weep.

"En! These are tears of joy!"

Their hands trembled as they hurriedly took the mass of Merit into their possession.

"Thank you, Immortal Venerable, for your generosity!"

"We... we shall take our leave!"

Hao Tian said with a trembling voice, pulling Yao Chi as they fled in a panic.

As they stepped out of Wuji Heaven, their legs were still weak.

"Too much!"

"The Immortal Venerable gave far too much!"

"After all, our knowledge is shallow."

"The dealings of Immortals are indeed hard to fathom!"

Inside Wuji Heaven.

Watching their stumbling retreating figures, Lu Changqing gently shook his head.

"These two juniors still lack experience!"

Kong Xuan watched from behind, utterly dumbfounded.

"Great Master!"

"It's not that they lack knowledge, it's that your actions are too outrageous!"

"Is this the legendary bargaining genius who shook the Primordial World?"

"Your methods are truly unconventional!"

"This is the first time I've seen someone raise the price like this."

"Do you have so much Merit that you don't know what to do with it?"

"Forty million was enough, but you insisted on giving an extra twenty million!"

"When it comes to bargaining, my Great Master is unrivaled in the Primordial World."

"Didn't even the Dao Ancestor fail to cope?"

Inside Purple Heaven Palace.

Hao Tian and Yao Chi returned in a daze to report. Hongjun was also taken aback when he heard the news.

Even his Dao heart couldn't help but tremble.
