Vast Saintly Might Sweeps

Mighty Saintly Might swept across the eight directions.

Divine chains of law pierced through heaven and earth.

All beings felt this terrifying pressure and were terrified.

What happened?

Which Saint is using their Spiritual Power?

All beings looked up and recognized Old Ancestor Minghe, becoming even more astonished.

This is a Saint realm expert from Wuji Heaven.

His sudden appearance now, could it be that he is acting under the decree of that Longevity Dao Venerable?

"All beings of the Primordial World, hear my proclamation."

Ming He's voice was like a thunderous bell, echoing throughout the universe.

"The Longevity Dao Venerable has a decree: all those who participate in expanding the territory, regardless of their cultivation level, shall receive three days of Merit Golden Rain."

"Opportunities do not wait!

Time does not come again!

Hurry to the world's barrier and join this grand event!

This is a peerless opportunity."

Upon hearing this, cultivators of all races were overjoyed.

Merit Golden Rain?

They only need to participate in the expansion to receive it?

Heavenly blessings!

How could they miss such a good thing!

Originally, there was Merit to be gained from expanding the Primordial World, and now there's Merit Golden Rain.

It's simply double happiness!

Without further hesitation, cultivators from all races surged towards the edge of the world, dedicating themselves to the great cause of territorial expansion.

All of them were filled with high spirits.

After all, who wouldn't covet such tangible Merit?

Seeing such an enthusiastic response, Ming He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems there is no worry.

With so many cultivators joining, completing the task assigned by the Dao Venerable should be a sure thing.

Heh heh, the Dao Venerable also promised extra rewards...

I wonder what kind of treasures they will be...

Ming He rubbed his hands and chuckled foolishly.

There was no trace of Saintly Might left.

Face? Can face be exchanged for Merit?

Wuji Heaven Palace.

Kong Xuan strode into the hall holding the Primordial Violet Qi.

"Reporting to the Dao Venerable, all the Primordial Violet Qi has been collected!"

Kong Xuan respectfully presented the Violet Qi.

"This time, a total of thirty strands of Primordial Violet Qi were obtained from nurturing the Primordial Shore Flower."

Lu Changqing examined it and saw that the divine flower had indeed withered, so he had to give up.

Thirty strands of Violet Qi were enough to continue implementing the plan to create Saints.

As for the Primordial Shore Flower, let it rest and recover.

"Good."

"Well done."

Lu Changqing accepted the Violet Qi with praise.

He pondered his next candidate for nurturing.

There are still many choices among the great powers of the Primordial World: Zhen Yuanzi, Old Ancestor Hong Yun, Queen Mother of the West, Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Di Jiang...

These are all individuals with the potential to achieve the Dao and become Saints.

While he was contemplating, a clear sound came from beyond the heavens.

"Xi He and Chang Xi of the Moon Star."

"We seek an audience with Longevity Immortal Venerable!"

The voice echoed through the nine heavens.

Lu Changqing felt a slight surprise. Why would these two Moon Palace fairies visit so suddenly?

They were renowned goddesses in the Primordial World, after all. Top female great powers were rare to begin with.

Not to mention, they were both Innate Gods with extraordinary origins.

"Please come in."

Lu Changqing gestured with his eyes, and Kong Xuan immediately understood, heading out beyond the heavens to greet them.

Upon seeing the two Moon Goddesses, Kong Xuan bowed with a smile: "Dao Venerable invites the two celestial maidens inside."

The two women curtsied in return, inwardly astonished.

This is Kong Xuan?

His cultivation has already reached the late Quasi-Saint stage!

Wuji Heaven is truly unfathomable, sending such a powerful expert to welcome guests.

It's almost unimaginable elsewhere.

Led by Kong Xuan, the two stepped into the Heavenly Palace.

Feeling the innate spiritual energy washing over them, their peerless beauty couldn't hide their shock.

This is Wuji Heaven?

The spiritual energy is this dense!

In the distance, palaces were faintly visible, emitting golden light. What kind of divine objects are those?

As they approached the main hall, they saw Lu Changqing seated on a cloud bed.

The two women's hearts trembled.

They had met many great powers in the Primordial World, but compared to the one before them, all paled in comparison.

Whether it was Demon Emperor Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, or Ancestor Di Jiang, they were all inferior in bearing.

Lu Changqing exuded an innate Dao aura, his every move displaying a master's demeanor.

It was as if even the destruction of heaven and earth wouldn't stir his heart.

His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were like brilliant stars, and his gentle jade-like appearance was infused with awe-inspiring majesty, causing the two women to secretly praise him.

"Chang Xi, Xi He, pay respects to Dao Venerable!"

The two women bowed gracefully.

Lu Changqing smiled faintly: "You two have traveled from the Moon Star?"

Xi He lightly shook her head: "We are traveling the Primordial World, seeking an opportunity to achieve the Dao."

"We have long heard of Dao Venerable's profound understanding of creation and have come to seek guidance."

Lu Changqing nodded with pleasure and said to Kong Xuan: "Serve tea."

Kong Xuan accepted the order and, in a short while, presented the Enlightenment Immortal Tea.

Wisps of Dao rhythm rose from the jade pot.

Xi He and Chang Xi exchanged glances, surprised inwardly.

What kind of immortal tea is this?

A Saint's hospitality is indeed extraordinary?

As the tea was poured, its fragrance filled the air, and profound Dao intent enveloped the two.

Xi He and Chang Xi were even more shocked—it was the legendary Enlightenment Tea!

This is too extravagant!

There had long been rumors in the Primordial World that Wuji Heaven had profound foundations.

Seeing it today, they knew the rumors were not false.

To serve Enlightenment Tea to guests, perhaps only Longevity Immortal Venerable has such boldness.

"Thank you, Dao Venerable, for this generous gift!"

The two bowed again.

Lu Changqing waved his hand, signaling them not to be too formal, and got straight to the point: "What brings you two here?"

Xi He and Chang Xi exchanged glances, and Xi He said seriously: "May we ask Dao Venerable, are there any secrets to achieving Hunyuan?"

They had traveled throughout the Primordial World, and only Wuji Heaven had successively produced Saints.

All other great powers had returned in failure.

Therefore, they came directly here.

"My sister and I have reached the peak of Quasi-Saint."

"But to achieve the Dao and become a Saint is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"Does Immortal Venerable have any guidance?"

Xi He's eyes were full of anticipation.

"So it's about becoming a Saint."

Lu Changqing smiled calmly, "It's just becoming a Saint."

"Of course."

Xi He and Chang Xi exchanged glances, both shocked.

"Longevity Immortal Venerable is so confident?"

"In the entire Primordial World, perhaps only Wuji Heaven dares to make such a promise."

"As expected of Saint Changqing."

"The path to becoming a Saint is so difficult, yet he is so composed."

Xi He sighed inwardly.

"To achieve the Dao and become a Saint,"

"Is easier said than done."

"Look at Old Ancestor Minghe, before entering Wuji Heaven, no matter how many opportunities he had,"

"He couldn't break through the Saint realm."

"But once he entered Wuji Heaven and received the help of Primordial Violet Qi,"

"He instantly achieved the Saint position."

"This is the difference."

"Besides Old Ancestor Minghe, which great power has not been trapped like this?"

Lu Changqing remained calm, "Becoming a Saint is not a difficult matter."

He changed the subject, "However—the Saint position is not given for free."

"Within Wuji Heaven,"

"Xi He and Chang Xi were already prepared."

"In this world, there are no gifts without reason."

"Since they came, they had already thought it through."

Kong Xuan, standing nearby, found it familiar—

"Isn't this what happened to me back then?"

He could also guess what would happen next:

"It must be to have the two women sign a Heavenly Dao contract."

"For him, the contract was naturally more beneficial than detrimental;"

"But for Xi He and Chang Xi, it might not be acceptable."

"If they wholeheartedly pursued freedom, they might truly refuse."

"However, the possibility of this is extremely slim."

"Look at East King Duke and the others, are they not free?"

"Even when they created worlds, they did so with smiles."

"Immortal Venerable, please state your requirements directly."

Xi He's expression was serious.

They did not wish to receive favors for nothing, If there were conditions, it was better to state them clearly.

Lu Changqing said no more. The Heavenly Dao Scepter appeared, And with a gentle tap—

Hum!

Endless Dao rhythm flowed, Transforming into a Heavenly Dao contract, It floated before the two women.

"To become a Saint, you must enter Wuji Heaven."

Lu Changqing's tone was calm, "Only then can you participate in the plan to create Saints."

"You may examine the contract's contents yourselves."

Xi He and Chang Xi read carefully:

It was nothing more than obeying orders after becoming a Saint, whether to open up new territories or establish realms, all for Wuji Heaven.

The two fell into thought.

Achieving Dao and becoming a Saint was inherently an extremely difficult matter;

but if they signed this contract, they would become people of Wuji Heaven, and from then on, they would have little freedom.

This made them hesitate—

although they sought breakthroughs, they were unwilling to be forever controlled by others.

Xi He asked softly, "Immortal Venerable... can the contract have a time limit?

If we have to stay in Wuji Heaven forever, we truly cannot accept it."

Lu Changqing was slightly stunned; he hadn't considered this before.

Xi He's words gave him a flash of inspiration:

No wonder only Old Ancestor Minghe, East King Duke, and others readily signed the contract.

Many great powers were arrogant and proud.

They had only achieved their current accomplishments through arduous cultivation, so how could they be willing to be forever driven by others?

But if a time limit was set, there would be hope.

As for what happened after the period expired—

that would no longer be his concern.

What he wanted was merely the consumption of Merit and the achievement of a Saint position.

Once his goal was achieved, everything else could be discarded at will.

"Alright."

Lu Changqing immediately agreed, "Let's set the term at ten thousand years."

"The scope of duties will also be adjusted."

As his voice fell, the Heavenly Dao Scepter moved again, and the contract terms changed accordingly.

Kong Xuan sighed inwardly from the side:

The Heavenly Dao Scepter wields the authority of the Heavenly Dao, and yet Great Master is using it to modify a contract...

What a waste of talent!

The contract was quickly revised.

Xi He and Chang Xi read it carefully, their faces showing surprise, and they even reread it in disbelief.

"Immortal Venerable, what is written here... is it true?"

Xi He couldn't help but ask.

Chang Xi also couldn't hide her astonishment.

The contract now included a time limit: they only needed to stay in Wuji Heaven for ten thousand years.

Furthermore, they wouldn't have to open up worlds like East King Duke and the others; they only needed to serve as Lu Changqing's maids—and not ordinary maids, but maids who would accompany him in his travels and share drinks and merriment!

This was unbelievably easy.

Were such conditions real?

Could they achieve Dao and become Saints by simply spending ten thousand years leisurely?

The reason Xi He and Chang Xi couldn't believe it was precisely because it was all too simple.

It was as simple as a dream.

Lu Changqing said calmly, "Of course, it's true."

"You can consider whether to sign the contract."

His main reason for keeping the two as maids was that he found the maids arranged by East King Duke previously to be too ordinary.

How could they compare to the pleasing appearance of these two Moon Star Goddesses?

Xi He and Chang Xi exchanged glances.

Longevity Immortal Venerable was a Saint; he would never toy with them.

Moreover, the contract is condensed by the power of the Heavenly Dao. Once signed, it is binding and absolutely genuine.

Faced with such simple conditions, the two did not hesitate for long and directly signed the contract.

It's only ten thousand years as a maid.

If they can become Saints, even a hundred thousand years would be fine.

Kong Xuan watched the two sign the contract from the side. After carefully examining the contents, his eyes widened in surprise.

What's going on?

Why is this contract so different from the previous one?

And these two don't have to do anything at all!

Are there such good things in the world?

Can it be arranged like this?

As expected of the Great Master, truly extraordinary.

Seeing that the two had signed the contract, Lu Changqing took out two strands of Primordial Violet Qi. "Take these. Become Saints as soon as possible."

Then, he produced two hundred million Merit.

The golden light flowed, causing the two women to become momentarily dazed.

So much Merit!

When they came back to their senses, their hearts were filled with joy.

Primordial Violet Qi! A hundred million Merit!

Longevity Immortal Venerable is truly generous, giving away such treasures so casually.

And with another hundred million Merit!

With these two things in hand, they were full of confidence in achieving the Dao and becoming Saints.

At the same time, the two also realized that becoming a Saint was not as difficult as they had imagined.

Perhaps the correct way is to pave the path directly with Primordial Violet Qi and Merit?

"Thank you, Longevity Immortal Venerable!"

The two bowed gratefully, their hearts filled with joy.

Lu Changqing nodded slightly. "I will also pick out two palaces for you as cultivation spots."

After a moment of thought, he casually pointed out two palaces and bestowed them upon the two.

The sisters bowed again in thanks and joyfully headed to their new residences to go into seclusion.

Holding the Primordial Violet Qi and immeasurable Merit, they were full of confidence.

Kong Xuan stood in place, watching the receding figures of Xi He and Chang Xi, a bitter ache in his heart.

He looked enviously at Lu Changqing. "Master, why didn't I have such good fortune back then?"

It was truly infuriating.

Why could they achieve Dao and become Saints by merely being maids for ten thousand years?

When did becoming a Saint become such child's play!

Lu Changqing glanced at him sideways upon hearing this.

Daydreaming?

Have you even looked at yourself to see if you measure up to them?

He then took out a bronze mirror and handed it to Kong Xuan.

Kong Xuan looked at his reflection in the mirror, his face full of confusion.

Is Master trying to teach me the principle of Yin and Yang's mutual generation?
