Immortal Venerable, Rest Assured

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the Dragon Clan will give its all!"

"The Dragon Clan will do everything in its power to develop the Primordial World and repay Your Excellency's great kindness!"

Candle Dragon immediately agreed.

Next, it was the Kirin Clan's turn.

Lu Changqing stepped into the River of Time and Space, instantly arriving at Kirin Cliff.

The entire Kirin Clan was dormant here.

Ever since the fall of the First Kirin, the Kirin Clan had been in decline, facing even more difficult circumstances than the Dragon and Phoenix Clans.

Only tens of millions of Kirin survived, a stark contrast to their peak in the past.

Lu Changqing summoned the Heavenly Dao Scepter, invoking the power of the Heavenly Dao, and completely erased the Kirin Clan's Heavenly Dao shackles.

An invisible Dao rhythm spread, causing heaven and earth to tremble.

The Kirin within Kirin Cliff looked up at the sky, their faces filled with surprise.

They felt it!

The restraint was gone!

Did this mean the Kirin Clan would finally regain its freedom?

The Longevity Immortal Venerable's might shook the Primordial World!

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving the Kirin Clan!"

The Kirin Clan leader, Si Bu Xiang, was ecstatic.

The Kirin Clan had finally ushered in a new beginning!

Clear calls echoed through the mountains and wilderness as Kirin emerged one after another.

The one leading them...

Possessing the Heavenly Dao Authority would place one in the second highest position in the Primordial World!

However--

Lu Changqing's cultivation had long transcended the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, soaring above the Nine Heavens.

Even if the Heavenly Dao intended to appoint him as its spokesperson, Lu Changqing paid it no mind.

He flatly refused.

"As expected of Brother Changqing, who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Heavenly Dao! Truly extraordinary and beyond compare, leaving us far behind."

Jieyin sighed softly.

All the Saints nodded in agreement.

Indeed--

There was an insurmountable gap between people.

Even as Saints, their destinies were vastly different.

The disparity in status was truly lamentable.

Thinking of this, expressions of envy appeared on the faces of all the Saints.

They were so envious they felt like their souls were about to scatter!

Wuji Heaven.

Lu Changqing dismissed the Three Races, ordering them to participate in the great endeavor of development.

He himself returned directly to his Dao field.

After a brief contemplation, he summoned Candle Dragon.

Candle Dragon hurried into the hall and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Saint Changqing!"

At this moment, he had already grasped the foundation of Wuji Heaven.

He also knew the immense strength of this place.

Seven Saints standing side by side!

Comparable to the Xuanmen!

Furthermore, Lu Changqing wielded the Heavenly Dao Authority, his status even above Hongjun's.

All of this made Candle Dragon tremble, daring not to be the slightest bit negligent.

Lu Changqing gazed at Candle Dragon with a smile.

He already had a plan in mind.

Candle Dragon's cultivation had been stagnant at the peak of Quasi-Saint for many years.

It was only a step away from achieving the Dao.

"Candle Dragon, who has been in seclusion for many years, are you willing to achieve the Dao and become a Saint?"

Lu Changqing asked leisurely.

The Candle Dragon suddenly looked up. "Become a Saint?!"

"Is this true?!"

Saint Changqing was actually asking him if he was willing to become a Saint?

If there was an opportunity to achieve the Dao, how could he miss it!

"I couldn't ask for more!"

The Candle Dragon nodded heavily, looking at Lu Changqing with burning eyes.

Lu Changqing smiled and said nothing, waving his hand to reveal a Heavenly Dao contract.

"Take a look."

The Candle Dragon took the contract and was immediately overcome with emotion after reading it.

Become a Saint?!

This contract was actually an agreement to help him achieve the Dao!

Merit! Primordial Violet Qi!

It would help him break through!

The most crucial condition was—he only needed to serve Wuji Heaven for 100,000 years.

100,000 years to achieve Hunyuan!

Was there any need to hesitate?

If he missed this golden opportunity, the Candle Dragon would surely end his own life.

"How about it, are you willing to agree?"

Lu Changqing asked directly after seeing him finish reading.

The Candle Dragon hurriedly replied, "Willing! Willing!"

"This little dragon is willing to pledge allegiance to Wuji Heaven for 100,000 years!"

"How could I dare to hesitate."

If I were even a moment slower, the opportunity might vanish in an instant.

At that time, I would surely regret it for the rest of my life.

In the Primordial World, who else could be so generous in helping him achieve the Dao?

Seeing this, Lu Changqing took out a strand of Primordial Violet Qi and bestowed it upon the Candle Dragon, followed by a vast amount of Merit.

Golden light shone brightly, illuminating the palace.

It almost blinded the Candle Dragon.

How dazzling!

As expected of the Primordial World's strongest backer.

His generosity was truly extravagant!

The Candle Dragon was mesmerized and quickly said, "I will definitely do my best to achieve the Dao!"

"And share your worries as a Saint soon!"

With that, he happily went into seclusion.

Carrying immeasurable Merit and Primordial Violet Qi, the Candle Dragon was full of confidence in achieving the Dao.

These conditions even surpassed the foundation of the Six Saints of the Xuanmen when they achieved their Dao back then.

After the Candle Dragon left, Lu Changqing returned to his leisurely life.

After an unknown number of years, his divine sense stirred, enveloping the entire Primordial World.

Only then did he discover that the progress of development was abnormally slow.

Thousands of years passed, and the Merit consumed was less than a trillion.

Unacceptable!

Such efficiency was truly low!

Lu Changqing's mind raced, and he summoned Ming He.

Ming He arrived immediately.

"Great Master!"

Ming He bowed respectfully.

Lu Changqing asked directly, "Why is the pioneering progress so slow?"

Ming He was stunned and quickly explained, "Great Master, please see, your subordinate has not slacked off at all!

The slow progress is truly due to the journey consuming too much time!

The time of countless living beings has been completely wasted on traveling!

We have always found it difficult to reach the edge of the Primordial World!

Lu Changqing was slightly surprised upon hearing this, but upon further thought, it made sense.

Most of the beings participating in the pioneering were of low cultivation, so their speed was naturally limited.

More than half the time was spent on the journey; half of a thousand years was wasted.

Moreover, the Primordial World is expanding daily, and this situation will only worsen.

This matter must be resolved quickly.

Lu Changqing already had a solution—the Hunyuan Heaven and Earth Great Array!

Once this array is completed, all beings can travel ten thousand miles in an instant.

However, the scale of the array is vast, and its deployment is extremely difficult.

With his mind made up, Lu Changqing immediately sent messages to all the Saints.

Not only the Saints of Wuji Heaven but also the Saints of the Xuanmen were invited.

Inside the Eight Sceneries Palace, Laozi was in quiet cultivation when he received Lu Changqing's message, a look of confusion appearing between his brows.

Why was Lu Changqing summoning him?

Without hesitation, he opened a passage and headed over.

Inside Biyou Palace, Tongtian was also puzzled and set off for the meeting.

One by one, the Saints arrived at Wuji Heaven, all filled with confusion.

What important matter did Lu Changqing have this time?

Not long after, twelve Saints gathered in Wuji Heaven.

Such a grand assembly was unprecedented in history!

Upon arriving, Tongtian and Laozi, among others, couldn't help but secretly gasp.

What a huge turnout!

It seems there is indeed something important, otherwise, why would twelve Saints have come.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

After all the Saints were seated, Lu Changqing spoke, "It pains me that all beings in the Primordial World waste their time on the journey—think of how many opportunities to accumulate Merit they have missed!"

As soon as he said this, the Saints all secretly grumbled in their hearts.

If they hadn't known him for many years, they might have been fooled by him.

This person definitely has more to say.

As expected, Lu Changqing continued, "Therefore, I, this Venerable, have decided to gather the strength of all the Saints in the Primordial World to build a supreme great array together!

So that all beings in the Primordial World can reach any corner of the world in an instant."

The Saints were all shocked upon hearing this.

"What?!"

"Reach all parts of the Primordial World in an instant?"

"Impossible!"

"Is there such an array in existence?"

Tongtian, who was proficient in array formations, immediately stood up and exclaimed, "Absurd!

This is absolutely impossible!"

In Wuji Heaven, the twelve Saints discussed together.

The scale was unprecedented, never before seen since the creation of the world.

Upon hearing Lu Changqing's words, Tongtian slammed his palm on the table and cried out in disbelief, "Absurd!"

Even with his mastery of formations, he wouldn't dare to entertain such a fantasy.

To construct a teleportation array that covered the entire Primordial World, allowing all living beings to instantly reach any location?

This formation would have to encompass the entire Primordial World!

This point alone was already a pipe dream.

Laozi, Yuanshi, and the other Saints were so shocked they were speechless.

To deploy such a massive formation!

No wonder Lu Changqing had summoned all the Saints.

But even with twelve Saints working together, this task would likely be impossible to complete, right?

Absurd!

This idea was too preposterous!

Could someone really achieve this?

Laozi mused silently.

Yuanshi's expression was grave, and he remained silent.

Ming He and the others, though accustomed to the Great Master's astonishing pronouncements, couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble upon hearing this.

What?

The Great Master intended to build a supreme grand formation?

This couldn't be possible!

Was he joking?

Didn't even Tongtian call it wishful thinking?

Beyond the heavens, in the Chaos.

Inside the Azure Palace.

The act of multiple Saints joining forces to open a passage to Wuji Heaven also alerted Hongjun.

What was Lu Changqing up to this time?

With so many Saints gathered for discussion, something big must be happening!

Hongjun's mind raced.

That was twelve Saints!

Unbeknownst to him, the influence of Wuji Heaven had already become comparable to that of the Xuanmen.

Lu Changqing was truly a formidable individual.

The crucial point was that this person seemed to possess an endless supply of Merit, like an emotionless Merit-generating machine!

Thinking of this, Hongjun's brow furrowed.

Lu Changqing...

He was now filled with apprehension towards this person.

It was precisely because Lu Changqing had repeatedly disrupted his plans that his grand endeavor of unifying the Dao had made no progress to this day.

His only gain was from the last time, exchanging sixty million Merit—and this Merit had come from Lu Changqing.

This person had so much Merit... Should he find some trouble for him?

Hongjun suddenly had this thought.

If he allowed Lu Changqing to continue causing trouble, the day of his unification of the Dao would be indefinitely postponed.

He couldn't let this person run rampant any longer.

He had to find a way to deal with this.

Rumble--

As soon as this thought arose, dark clouds immediately gathered outside the Purple Heaven Palace, and the power of the Heavenly Dao surged within them.

This was the Heavenly Dao's warning to him!

Upon seeing this, Hongjun's expression turned extremely grim.

Good heavens!

The Heavenly Dao was truly Lu Changqing's favored son, wasn't it!

Was it really necessary?!

As soon as he had the thought, the Heavenly Dao immediately appeared to warn him!

How could anyone act freely like this!

Hongjun's face turned ashen. Did he not even have the right to think?

This was simply going too far!!!

Within Wuji Heaven.

The assembled Saints felt their hearts churn.

Laozi's mouth twitched.

It's fake, right?!

It must be fake!

How is this possible?

How could such an array exist between heaven and earth?

Besides, Great Master, aren't you playing a little too big this time?

This is even more exaggerated than before!

The difficulty is too high.

Great Master, what exactly are you trying to do!

Yuanshi and the other Saints remained silent, completely unable to understand what Lu Changqing was trying to achieve.

This was an impossible task by any measure!

Especially Tongtian, who had extremely high attainments in array formations, knew that constructing such a supreme great array was simply impossible.

It absolutely cannot exist!

Such a massive array absolutely cannot exist in this world.

Tongtian repeatedly shook his head.

He didn't even dare to think about it in detail.

To cover the entire Primordial World, what kind of colossal array would that be?

It was simply impossible!

The most crucial point was that Lu Changqing was creating such a grand spectacle merely to improve the efficiency of living beings' pioneering efforts...

This reason was simply too peculiar.

It left one utterly speechless!

"Fellow Daoists, please speak your minds if you have any thoughts! I believe that by combining the strength of all Saints, we can definitely accomplish this!"

Lu Changqing looked at the incredulous Tongtian and the worried Saints and encouraged them.

The Saints all wore bitter smiles.

The difficulty was simply too high!

They had absolutely no clue!

Is this truly something a Saint can accomplish?!

This is far beyond the bounds of reason!

Xi He and Chang Xi also felt waves of emotion surge within them.

They were filled with emotion!

To create a supreme great array that would allow living beings between heaven and earth to instantly reach any location in the Primordial World.

This was simply an impossible feat.

They both felt that Lu Changqing was being too fanciful.

However, they deeply admired Lu Changqing's boldness.

Whether it was opening up numerous worlds or expanding the boundaries of the Primordial World.

These were not things ordinary people could do.

"Fellow Daoist Changqing! This matter truly cannot be done. Let alone setting it up, I have no clue even in deducing the array!"

Tongtian said with a pained expression: "Even if we combine the power of twelve Saints, it's absolutely impossible to deduce it successfully."

He didn't have even the slightest clue.

Among the Saints, his attainments in array formations were already the highest.

Yet, he was truly helpless!

Completely no idea!

Because this was an impossible task.

Laozi also shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Changqing, it's not that we're unwilling to help."

"We are truly powerless!"

Human effort has its limits, and this is beyond the scope of human capability."

Deduce a supreme great array.
