Myriad Spirits

The myriad spirits discussed amongst themselves.

What new trick was Wuji Heaven attempting this time?

Why was the killing intent so intense?

Great powers from all sides turned their attention to it.

What kind of formation was being set up?

With such killing intent, it was likely more than one Saint had made a move!

Only Wuji Heaven possessed such a foundation!

Above Wuji Heaven.

The Five Saints worked together.

Countless spiritual treasures poured down like a galaxy, each finding its place.

As the spiritual treasures were embedded, the great formation gradually took shape, its power growing stronger.

BOOM--

A vast, mighty force continuously spread.

After a hundred years, the great formation was finally complete.

Tongtian laughed heartily, "Fellow Daoist Changqing, please place the spiritual treasure for the formation's core!"

"As long as the core is guarded by a supreme treasure, this formation will surely display its true might--

And let the world witness what a supreme killing formation is!"

Lu Changqing pondered for a moment before casting the God-Slaying Spear and the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda into the formation.

BOOM!

As the supreme treasures entered the formation, the killing intent surged.

Heaven and earth instantly turned dark, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The laws of countless star rivers flickered in the void.

Yuanshi and Laozi witnessed this scene, their hearts churning like stormy seas.

It was so terrifying just to observe from afar?

Tongtian's formation cultivation had truly reached a height that made one look up in awe.

Lu Changqing examined the completed formation, wanting to test its power to determine the amount of Merit.

He then asked, "Who is willing to enter the formation to test it?"

Tongtian's expression slightly stiffened, and he warned, "This formation's power is heaven-shattering; slaying Saints is no mere jest!"

Lu Changqing waved his sleeve and said, "It's alright, those who test the formation will receive ten million Merit."

Tongtian was immediately rendered speechless.

Even he himself couldn't help but be tempted.

What did it matter if he died? Heavenly Dao Saints could be reborn, and they could also earn ten million Merit.

It was simply a guaranteed profit with no loss!

Yuanshi's heart also fluttered.

However, their reactions were ultimately not as swift as Laozi's.

Laozi said solemnly, "This important task, I, this humble one, shall not shy away from!"

Before his words even fell, the Taiji Diagram appeared beneath his feet.

Vast Yin and Yang divine light completely enveloped him.

How could he miss out!

He was the only Saint present who possessed a defensive supreme treasure.

If he didn't earn it now, when would he?

"Fellow Daoist, please exert your full strength!"

"Come!"

Laozi's expression was calm.

He had absolute confidence in the Taiji Diagram's defense.

Seeing this, Lu Changqing did not hesitate and immediately activated the great formation.

BOOM--

Wuji Heaven suddenly erupted with world-destroying power.

The rules and order of the universe were instantly annihilated.

Billions of air currents surged violently.

The scene was like the sky and earth collapsing, all things returning to ruin.

Even Wuji Heaven could not conceal such a violent aura, its pressure sweeping across the Primordial World.

All living beings trembled.

Such might was as if the end of days had arrived!

Laozi's expression remained unchanged. With a shout, the Taiji Diagram suddenly expanded.

BOOM!

Under the watchful eyes of all, the formation's power struck the Taiji Diagram heavily.

The moment they made contact, Laozi's face drastically changed—

A total loss!

As this thought arose, the Taiji Diagram's light dimmed.

Laozi's physical body instantly shattered!

Wuji Heaven.

The power to destroy the earth surged out from the formation.

Laozi grunted and was sent flying backward.

The Primordial Supreme Treasure, the Taiji Diagram, also lost its luster.

BOOM!

Laozi flew through the void, his Saintly blood scattering across the firmament.

Yuanshi was dumbfounded.

How could this be?!

This formation's power is actually this terrifying?!

All beings in the Primordial World turned pale with shock.

What?!

A Saint was actually heavily injured?!

What kind of terrifying formation is this?!

Longevity Mountain.

Zhen Yuanzi exclaimed in horror.

Heavens, what kind of great formation is this?!

That is the foremost Saint below the Dao Ancestor, and he was protected by the Taiji Diagram!

And he was utterly defenseless?

Laozi had already reached the ninth heaven of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Furthermore, he had the Taiji Diagram's augmentation.

Yet, even his physical body was shattered.

The might of this formation is simply inconceivable!

The Primordial World was shaken.

Such a terrifying formation, merely observing it from afar, instilled fear.

No wonder even a Saint could not resist it.

He ended up with a shattered physical body.

How tragic.

Wuji Heaven already has many Saints, why would they need to set up such a fierce formation?

What is the point of setting it up?

All beings discussed it.

To be able to set up such a Saint-slaying formation, Longevity Immortal Venerable must have consumed countless treasures.

However, Wuji Heaven's position is transcendent, and no one dares to offend it.

Why go to such lengths?

Chaos beyond the heavens.

Purple Heaven Palace.

The anomaly in Wuji Heaven alarmed Hongjun.

Seeing Laozi injured, Hongjun's expression also changed.

This formation's power has actually reached such a state?!

Fortunately, he had already surpassed the Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, so even though this formation was powerful, it could hardly harm him.

He couldn't understand why Lu Changqing would set up such a deadly formation in Wuji Heaven.

Lu Changqing had vast Merit protecting him, why would he need this formation?

Hongjun whispered.

He immediately stopped paying attention.

As long as it didn't affect him, that was fine.

Wuji Heaven.

Laozi returned with a grim expression.

His physical injuries had not yet healed.

The formation's power was too immense, making it difficult for his body to recover.

He had no choice but to take a pill, and only then did his injuries subside.

Yuanshi and East King Duke, along with other Saints, felt a lingering fear.

What a guy!

With a cultivation of the ninth heaven of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal, supplemented by the Taiji Diagram.

He had almost lost.

Fortunately, they hadn't rashly attacked just now.

Otherwise, if they had died on the spot, wouldn't it have been a laughingstock?

Excellent!

This formation's power pleases me greatly!

"This is one hundred million Merit."

Lu Changqing said, and with a wave of his hand, he threw out a brilliant great sun.

A full one hundred million Merit!

The radiance was dazzling!

It illuminated the entire Wuji Heaven.

Yuanshi and Laozi looked at it, filled with envy.

This was tens of millions more than what they had painstakingly obtained!

Unfortunately, they didn't understand formations.

Otherwise, this Merit would have already been in their grasp!

However, envy was useless.

Everyone had their own strengths, and ultimately, there were specializations in different fields.

Fortunately, their own gains were also substantial.

Tongtian accepted one hundred million Merit, his heart surging with emotion.

One hundred million!

The small goal was achieved so easily!

"The three of you, there's nothing else here."

"You can go and create worlds!"

Lu Changqing looked at the three and urged them on.

???

The three stared at Lu Changqing, dumbfounded.

The change of heart was too fast!

They had just finished!

Even if they were to hang themselves, they would need to catch their breath, right!

Laozi said with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist, please allow us to rest for a while!"

"How can we work continuously? Moreover, I am seriously injured."

"I really need to recuperate!"

Yuanshi said, gently pressing his temples, "I also need to rest for a moment. Refining magic treasures truly consumes a lot of energy."

Tongtian echoed, "Indeed!"

Seeing this, Lu Changqing said no more, only faintly replying, "Very well."

"You can rest for a few days first, and then embark on the act of creation."

Laozi and the other two felt relieved, but they didn't dare to linger. They hurriedly bid farewell to Wuji Heaven.

They had gained a massive amount of Merit and could no longer wait to return and refine it to improve themselves.

The East King Duke and the other three exchanged glances before leaving one after another.

The pioneers continued their pioneering, and the creators continued their creation.

Congratulations to the host for consuming one hundred trillion Merit and receiving a mysterious gift box!

Lu Changqing was slightly surprised. Had he already consumed one hundred trillion Merit?

Excellent!

The future is promising!

One step closer to the ultimate goal.

"System, open the mysterious gift box."

Lu Changqing commanded.

[Received Chaos Supreme Treasure: Time Wheel.]

[Received Great Dao Casting Furnace.]

[Acquired World-Destroying Black Lotus.]

[Obtained Chaos Green Lotus Seed.]

[Received Hunyuan Heaven and Earth Formation Diagram.]

These rewards are surprisingly generous?

Truly worthy of being treasures obtained with one hundred trillion Merit.

The Time Wheel was once Daoist Shichen's natal supreme treasure.

It can control the flow of time.

The Great Dao Casting Furnace is a rare treasure that can repair damaged magic treasures, reaching up to the Chaos Supreme Treasure level.

It is powerless to repair items beyond this grade.

Seeing this precious treasure, Lu Changqing's heart rejoiced. This item is truly heaven-defying!

Coincidentally, he possessed the damaged World-Destroying Grinding Disc. If it could be repaired someday...

What power would a complete Chaos Supreme Treasure, the World-Destroying Grinding Disc, possess?

It could probably crush Chaos in an instant!

The next item is the Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, which was once the Demon Ancestor Luohu's protective treasure.

Although it is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and considered a supreme treasure by others, it pales in comparison to Lu Changqing's other collections.

What concerns Lu Changqing the most is the Chaos Green Lotus Seed!

This item has an astonishing origin.

If carefully cultivated, it can grow into a Thirty-six-grade Chaos Green Lotus!

Keep in mind that this lotus is a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

It contains supreme Dao charm and unparalleled defense!

In terms of defensive capabilities, nothing in the Primordial World or Chaos can match it!

It is unique!

Although Lu Changqing does not rely on defensive magic treasures, more Chaos Supreme Treasures are always better!

He then took out the green lotus seed and directly poured the Three Lights Divine Water onto it.

To aid its growth.

Despite pouring an endless amount of divine water, the effect was minimal.

The seed remained ancient and unadorned.

The World-Destroying Black Lotus and the Pure World White Lotus both originated from the shattered Chaos Green Lotus.

Could he use their origins to nourish the green lotus?

Lu Changqing's eyes lit up, and he immediately tried it.

The Pure World White Lotus emanated a sacred radiance, while the World-Destroying Black Lotus surged with malevolent energy.

He used his great spiritual power to completely decompose the two.

Then, he infused the origins of these two supreme treasures into the green lotus seed.

The seed's surface flowed with mysterious Dao patterns, and it suddenly bloomed, reaching sixteen grades.

It actually worked!

But it did not reach perfection. It seems he needs to decompose the Karma Red Lotus and the Merit Golden Lotus as well.

Lu Changqing pondered inwardly.

Once the green lotus matures, it will be a complete Chaos Supreme Treasure, giving him another powerful artifact.

While a bit extravagant, he wasn't short on top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

After dealing with it, Lu Changqing focused on the final reward—

The Hunyuan Heaven and Earth Formation Diagram.

This formation's power surpassed the one Tongtian had set up.

Its primary purpose wasn't offense or defense, but it could cover the entire Primordial World.

No matter how the world expanded, the great formation could completely encompass it.

Once formed, even Earth Immortal cultivators could reach any corner of the Primordial World in an instant.

This was the most heaven-defying aspect of the formation.

Precisely because of this, its setup difficulty was even greater than the Wuji Saint-Slaying Formation.

He didn't need this formation at the moment.

He pondered his plan: Creation and world expansion were both quick ways to deplete Merit.

There was also the grand plan of Saint Creation.

The Primordial Shore Flower should have recovered by now; it was time to continue Saint Creation.

This was also an important way to consume Merit.

He then sent a message to summon Kong Xuan.

"Take this Primordial Shore Flower and the Merit. Hurry and ripen it."

Lu Changqing was direct.

Kong Xuan was stunned—he had been in Wuji Heaven for a long time and had heard legends of this flower. He never expected it to truly exist in the world.

He respectfully accepted the divine flower and Merit, then quietly withdrew to carry out the task.

After Kong Xuan left, Lu Changqing wanted to check for system loopholes to continue consuming Merit.

"The System has been fully upgraded, with a new task function."

"Tasks can be published. Success reduces Merit, failure increases Merit."

"Tasks cannot be refused."

Lu Changqing was taken aback.

This function was excellent, and the key was that it couldn't be refused, leaving no room for choice.

In Wuji Heaven, upon hearing the notification, Lu Changqing found it quite novel.

This was another way to deplete Merit.

He just didn't know the specific amounts of Merit gained or lost.

"System, are there any current tasks?"

Lu Changqing asked directly.

He would take the initiative and first observe the task content.

"Task Issued: Expand the Primordial World to one hundred billion mu within a hundred years."

"Success: Deduct one trillion Merit; Failure: Add two trillion Merit."

After reading the task, Lu Changqing's heart surged.

The System was finally reliable for once; it was like charcoal in the snow!

Completing this task would immediately consume two trillion Merit, which was equivalent to several smaller goals.

Moreover, the difficulty was not high: for one hundred billion mu of land, if billions of beings worked together, each person would only need to cultivate a thousand mu within a hundred years to meet the target.

Of course, he understood that not everyone could cultivate a thousand mu; most might only cultivate a few hundred mu.

However, the number of pioneers in the Primordial World already exceeded one hundred million.

How many beings were there in the Primordial World?

He could summon even more beings to participate!

Thinking of this, Lu Changqing immediately summoned Ming He.

BOOM!

A spatial rift slowly opened, and Old Ancestor Minghe stepped out with a beaming smile.

"Your Excellency! Your subordinate has come to report!"

"Command me as you wish, I would die without regret!"

Ming He cupped his fists and said loudly.

Lu Changqing stood with his hands behind his back: "The manpower for developing the Primordial World is still insufficient."

"This matter is entrusted to you. Be sure to rally more cultivators to participate in expanding our territory."

On the day of success, three days of golden rain of Merit will descend to reward the efforts!

A hundred years are given. If the task is completed successfully, there will be generous rewards; if the work is not done well...

As he spoke, the God-Slaying Spear flashed with cold light.

As for where to stab, you may ponder it yourself!

Ming He's body trembled upon hearing this.

He felt a chill run down his spine.

He quickly patted his chest and guaranteed, "Your Excellency, please see, this matter is on my shoulders! I will not fail the trust placed in me!"

Seeing Lu Changqing nod in agreement.

Ming He immediately took his leave.

The Primordial World Continent.

Ming He's Dharma Body manifested, instantly transforming into a giant ten thousand feet tall.
