Why does the Great Master have the leisure for such amusements?
Sister Xi He also found it novel.
After all, they were just maids, Obeying orders was their duty.
The four sat around and began to play.
Just playing isn't fun, Why not use Merit as the stakes!
The three were stunned into silence.
Using Merit **?
That's too extravagant!
To let the three experience the fun, Lu Changqing deliberately lost several million Merit.
He laughed especially happily.
Found another good way to spend money!
Hahaha! I lost again!
Lu Changqing burst into laughter.
Kong Xuan and the other two were dumbfounded.
He's so happy even after losing so much Merit?
If it were them, they would have been heartbroken long ago.
The Great Master is indeed different!
Later, Lu Changqing felt that just playing Mahjong wasn't enough, So he invented card games.
After losing even more Merit, He began to wander aimlessly in Wuji Heaven, Or simply took naps.
Several hundred years passed like this.
One day, he was playing Dou Dizhu with Sister Xi He.
Pair of threes!
**!
Xi He was stunned.
She had just played a pair of threes, And the Great Master directly threw **?
This must be another deliberate gift of Merit, right?
Being a maid is actually so comfortable, Earning Merit just by playing with the Great Master all day.
Great Master!
I've broken through!
Thank you, Great Master!
Kong Xuan rushed in excitedly to share the good news.
Relying on the Merit he had won, He had finally advanced to the late stage of Quasi-Saint.
East King Duke and the others also appeared one after another, Their cultivation had all advanced significantly.
Xi He couldn't help but ask Lu Changqing:
Fellow Daoist, why don't you cultivate?
Cultivate?
Cultivate what!
As soon as the words fell, A world-shattering pressure suddenly erupted from him.
His cultivation had directly broken through to the third heaven of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Everyone was stunned.
The Great Master played around all day, yet he broke through again?
Lu Changqing himself was also puzzled:
He leveled up again?
This is too fast!
East King Duke and the others felt a surge of envy.
They had cultivated diligently for many years to break through, while the Great Master leveled up just by eating, drinking, and playing.
Heavenly Dao is too unfair!
Kong Xuan secretly wiped away tears, "Not this again!"
The Great Master is at it again!
Why does his realm skyrocket without cultivating?
How is this even possible?
It's truly enough to make one green with envy!
Lu Changqing, however, sighed, "There's really nothing I can do."
"Even though I'm not cultivating, my cultivation level just shoots up on its own."
"I can't even stop it. What's the point of cultivation anymore, you tell me?"
Xi He and Chang Xi listened, utterly speechless.
They felt their entire worldview had been refreshed.
Could such an unreasonable existence be in this world?
We played together for hundreds of years, and we're still stuck in the same place, yet he broke through in front of everyone—
What kind of operation is this?
Lu Changqing was completely unfazed.
His ambition was to achieve Great Dao Saint, so this small progress was not worth mentioning.
"Have you guys rested enough? Go create heaven and earth."
"Otherwise, when will I ever finish using up my Merit?"
He urged them on.
East King Duke and the other three remained silent.
Here we go again, the Great Master is at it again!
We should just slip away quickly.
Just as the four were about to escape, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Wuji Heaven.
Although it didn't match the pressure of a Saint, it still drew attention.
The Phoenix Clan Leader had broken through to the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
East King Duke glanced over and sighed, "How glorious were the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin clans back then."
"Now, only the Phoenix clan has reappeared. Perhaps they can truly make a comeback."
The Phoenix Clan Leader had already reached the peak of Grand Unity. If he continued to cultivate in Wuji Heaven, achieving Hunyuan would be just around the corner.
At that time, the Phoenix clan would surely be revived.
Not to mention Kong Xuan—already in the late Quasi-Saint stage, becoming a Saint was also a matter of time.
Lu Changqing's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
He had forgotten about it until East King Duke mentioned it: Aren't these Three Races just ready-made tools?
As long as he helps them remove the Heavenly Dao's restrictions, they would definitely be willing to serve.
"Yes, it's time to pay a visit to the Dragon clan and let them out."
"You all come with me."
Lu Changqing stood up and said.
East King Duke and the others looked surprised.
The Great Master was leaving Wuji Heaven?
Where was he going?
"Yes, Master!"
Kunpeng, Ming He, and the other Saints responded in unison.
Deep within the East Sea.
In a colossal sea trench, undercurrents surged ceaselessly.
This was the abyss of the seabed, pitch black and devoid of light.
A figure had been eternally imprisoned here—it was the Candle Dragon, sealed during the ancient Dragon-Phoenix Calamity.
Sigh...
The conflicts of the outside world had long since ended, yet I remained trapped here by Luohu. I wonder how the Dragon Clan is doing now."
He had been sealed in this abyss by Luohu during the ancient ** , and countless years had passed.
If the Dragon Clan had not been defeated during the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity, and Ancestor Dragon had not dispersed his essence, perhaps he too would have had a chance to attain Hunyuan.
After all, he was a Quasi-Saint powerhouse from the early Primordial World.
When the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity began, even Luohu and Hongjun were merely at the peak of Quasi-Saint.
Suddenly, a voice echoed through the abyss:
"I never expected the Candle Dragon, who has been missing for many years, to be here!"
The Candle Dragon's heart trembled. He hadn't expected anyone to find him.
He immediately rejoiced—this meant he might be able to escape!
No!
He had to put on a show of pride to make this person offer help.
He loudly declared, "It is indeed I!
Who goes there? Assist me in escaping quickly, and I shall reward you handsomely in the future!
I am the Quasi-Saint of the ancient Dragon Clan, Candle Dragon!"
As soon as his voice fell, East King Duke appeared. His vast Saintly Might instantly enveloped the entire abyss.
The abyss trembled.
"What did you just say?"
East King Duke asked with a playful expression, lowering his gaze.
The Candle Dragon was instantly flustered—Saintly Might!
It was a Saint!
How could a Saint personally appear in this deep sea?
"N-nothing!
Candle Dragon pays his respects to the Saint!"
He quickly lowered his head.
At this moment, one wave of Saintly Might after another descended. The abyss's void trembled incessantly, almost unable to withstand such pressure.
Billions of acres of seawater were parted by the Saintly Might.
Seeing the six Saints appear one after another, the Candle Dragon's soul nearly flew away in fright.
What's happening?
Why are six Saints gathered here all of a sudden?
When did the Primordial World gain so many Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortals?
How many years have passed in the outside world?
East King Duke and the other six Saints stood in the air, their might vast and boundless.
The heavens and earth became clear, and the raging sea calmed.
"Welcome, Longevity Immortal Venerable!"
East King Duke loudly proclaimed.
Ming He, Ran Deng, and the others echoed in unison: "Welcome, Longevity Immortal Venerable!"
The Candle Dragon watched the scene of the six Saints respectfully welcoming someone, his eyeballs nearly popping out.
What?
The six Saints are welcoming someone else?
What kind of existence is this Longevity Immortal Venerable, to be able to make Saints act as servants?
Such a spectacle far surpasses even Luohu and Hongjun!
This is terrifying!
Boundless golden light suddenly bloomed in the abyss, illuminating the darkness.
Three Thousand Laws flowed and intertwined, and Great Dao divine patterns permeated the void.
Golden lotuses bloomed, containing Dao rhythm, stretching endlessly.
Golden radiance shone upon the world, connecting all realms.
The long river of time quietly appeared, with the Dao's resonance floating within like threads.
Laws intertwined and evolved, the Dao's sound gently transmitted, anomalies spontaneously generated in the void, and auspicious light cascaded for hundreds of millions of miles.
And behind him, nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of Merit Golden Wheels were dazzling and resplendent, the Golden Light of Merit vast and boundless.
The brilliance of the Five Elements swayed in the abyss, and the eight-tone immortal music echoed throughout the universe.
Auspicious clouds and radiant mists covered the sky and blotted out the sun.
Candle Dragon stood frozen on the spot, his mind and spirit profoundly shaken.
Who exactly was this person?
Such a grand spectacle, with six Saints preceding him?
Lu Changqing appeared, stepping on clouds, and looked down at Candle Dragon:
Candle Dragon, how did you end up in such a state?
Such a magnificent display, with six Saints accompanying you.
He dared not show the slightest disrespect.
He said softly, "You mock me, Immortal Venerable!"
"Back then, I was tricked by that treacherous villain Luohu and have been trapped beneath this abyss."
"I couldn't even participate in the Dragon Clan's final battle!"
Speaking of this, a wave of sorrow washed over him.
If only he had been with the Dragon Clan during the final battle.
Damn Luohu!
I'll make you pay sooner or later!
May I ask why Immortal Venerable has personally come to the abyss?
Candle Dragon looked at Lu Changqing, his eyes filled with confusion.
The other party had brought six Saints, such a grand entourage, It must be for an important matter.
But this bottomless abyss held nothing but loneliness.
Lu Changqing said calmly, "I've come to grant you your freedom."
Candle Dragon heard this and was filled with disbelief.
What?
He hadn't misheard, had he?
This Longevity Immortal Venerable had come to save him?
How could he be so fortunate!
"Thank you, Immortal Venerable!"
Candle Dragon said hurriedly.
"That's wonderful."
"After being imprisoned for so many years, I can finally see the light of day again."
"This Longevity Immortal Venerable must be a top-tier expert in the Primordial World; the restrictions set by Luohu would be as easy as pie for him."
Candle Dragon was incredibly excited internally.
Lu Changqing flicked his fingertip, and a wisp of immortal light entered Candle Dragon's spiritual platform.
In an instant, the changes and upheavals in the Primordial World over these years all surged into Candle Dragon's divine consciousness.
He was shocked beyond measure.
Wuji Heaven?
Xuanmen?
When did so many Saints emerge in the Primordial World?
Those were supreme Saints!
Why did so many appear all of a sudden?
It was simply unbelievable.
Seeing Candle Dragon fall into a daze, Lu Changqing remained silent.
He raised his hand and waved again.
A majestic spiritual power surged out like a tide, The restrictions in the abyss instantly disintegrated.
Back when Luohu had not yet attained the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, the seal he laid was no match for Lu Changqing.
BOOM!
All the chains in the abyss snapped. Candle Dragon felt his body lighten and couldn't help but let out a long roar towards the heavens.
In an instant, his massive dragon body broke free from the abyss and soared straight into the Nine Heavens.
A heaven-shattering dragon's roar echoed throughout the Primordial World.
All living beings were terrified.
What kind of power was this!
Did the Dragon Clan have an ancestor who was a Quasi-Saint?
How was this possible!
The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas sensed the disturbance immediately, and they were all incredibly excited, rushing to the East Sea Dragon Palace to gather.
"This is great!
Our Dragon Clan's ancestor has reappeared in the world!
That's Ancestor Candle Dragon, the peerless powerhouse from the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity!
I never thought our ancestor was still alive!
The Dragon Clan has hope for revival!"
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were moved to tears.
"These past years, the Dragon Clan has been bullied relentlessly!
Now that our ancestor has returned, he will surely lead the Dragon Clan back to glory!"
Above the Nine Heavens, Lu Changqing, surrounded by immeasurable Merit, revealed his true form, holding the Heavenly Dao Scepter.
"I, Lu Changqing, in the name of the Heavenly Dao today, lift the shackles of the Dragon Clan, granting you freedom to soar across the Four Seas!"
The Heavenly Dao Scepter tapped lightly, and the vast power of the Heavenly Dao swept across all directions.
The Heavenly Dao's chains on the Dragon Clan vanished into thin air.
Tens of thousands of dragons felt their bodies lighten, and joyfully discovered that the Heavenly Dao's suppression had disappeared.
"We're free!
The Dragon Clan is reborn!"
The sounds of dragon roars rose one after another, filling the sky, ten thousand dragons roaring in unison, shaking the universe.
The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas all ascended into the air. Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and the dragon swarm surged like a torrent.
"Thank you, Longevity Immortal Venerable, for your immense kindness!"
Candle Dragon shouted his thanks loudly.
Tens of thousands of dragons shouted in unison: "We thank the Immortal Venerable for saving us!"
All beings in the Primordial World witnessed this scene and were deeply shocked.
"Longevity Immortal Venerable actually intervened to save the Dragon Clan?
Even a Quasi-Saint like Candle Dragon was released?"
In the depths of the void, the divine senses of the Saints intertwined as they communicated in secret.
Laozi spoke first, "Fellow Daoist Changqing's actions must have a deeper meaning!
He released the Dragon Clan; what do you all think he intends to do?"
Jieyin and Zhunti suddenly understood.
"So that's how it is!
He wants the Dragon Clan to work for him!
As expected of Fellow Daoist Changqing!
Truly far-sighted!
In this case, only the Qilin Clan remains trapped among the three primordial races. Could it be that he won't spare even the last clan?"
Tongtian and Yuanshi also understood Lu Changqing's intentions.
When it came to skillful means, Lu Changqing was indeed superior.
As expected, Lu Changqing's voice immediately echoed through heaven and earth:
"From this day forward, the Dragon Clan may participate in the creation of worlds and expand the great endeavor of the Primordial World."
"Are you willing?"
Lu Changqing's tone was calm.
Candle Dragon and the Dragon Clan members were incredibly excited.
Candle Dragon had already learned from Lu Changqing
about the profound mysteries
of creating worlds.
To him, this was an unparalleled opportunity!
If he could accumulate enough Merit, achieving Hunyuan would not be a mere fantasy!
How could he refuse?
The entire Dragon Clan was even more overjoyed.
This was originally an opportunity exclusive to the Phoenix Race, but now the Dragon Clan could finally participate.
Hearing Lu Changqing's words, Candle Dragon and the Dragon Clan members' faces flushed, unable to contain their excitement.
The Dragon Clan had long yearned to, like the Phoenix Race, open up worlds in the Primordial World and gain Merit.
Look at how prosperous the Phoenix Race was now; Kong Xuan had already reached the late stage of Quasi-Saint.
Once he reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, Lu Changqing would surely help him become a Saint.
At that time, the Phoenix Race would have a Saint presiding over them!
Meanwhile, the Dragon Clan had fallen behind for many years.
They must cling tightly to Lu Changqing's coattails!
Only in this way could the Dragon Clan have hope for revival.
"We are willing!"
