Supreme Auspicious Merit Clouds appeared.

Unlike before, the Auspicious Merit Clouds that appeared this time were profound yellow in color.

Merit also came in different magnitudes.

What Lu Changsheng had said at this moment was an act of supreme merit.

May all living beings be like dragons.

What a vow that was.

The entire world was shaken.

People simply found it hard to imagine that a youth who had only stepped onto the path of cultivation three years ago could harbor such thoughts.

Whether it could be achieved or not, Lu Changsheng's grand wish was truly extraordinary.

May all living beings be like dragons.

What was a True Dragon?

In the world of immortal cultivation, all spirit beasts other than humans could transform into dragons, but they had to undergo all manner of tribulations. The difficulty might even surpass that of becoming immortal.

Lu Changsheng wished for all living beings to be like dragons. Such a grand wish truly inspired admiration.

Thus, countless Auspicious Merit Clouds appeared and descended upon Lu Changsheng.

In an instant, a pagoda condensed into being.

The pagoda was profound yellow in color and had nine levels. Wind, thunder, water, lightning, stars, and the universe were contained within it.

The pagoda stood ten thousand zhang tall, looking incomparably terrifying. Waves of Profound Yellow Energy pressed down, leaving people so stunned they could scarcely breathe.

Even more terrifyingly, countless divine beasts circled the pagoda.

True Dragons, True Phoenixes, Qilins, White Tigers, Black Tortoises, Taoties, Bai Zes, Bi Fangs—every kind of divine beast that existed only in ancient records circled the pagoda, creating an incomparably magnificent sight that made hearts pound in terror.

"Is that the Innate Xuanhuang Pagoda?"

"A merit artifact?"

"It's actually a merit artifact?"

"A pagoda forged from Innate Xuanhuang Qi?"

"An ordinary strand of Profound Yellow Energy is already priceless, let alone Innate Xuanhuang Qi. This Innate Xuanhuang Pagoda can be called a supreme treasure, something that may be impossible to find in the entire world. Its value is likely greater than that of three holy lands."

"A strand of Profound Yellow Energy weighs as much as a great mountain, while a strand of Innate Xuanhuang Qi weighs as much as a hundred great mountains. If the Innate Xuanhuang Pagoda above Lu Changsheng's head struck with full force, could it not sink an entire Central Province?"

The world was aghast, stunned by this peerless divine treasure.

"A tower forged from Innate Xuanhuang Qi—this is a supreme immortal artifact! A supreme immortal artifact!"

People cried out in alarm.

Yet this was only inevitable.

Lu Changsheng wished for all living beings to be like dragons. Who would dare make such a grand wish? Who would dare speak it? Who would dare establish it?

Thus, immeasurable merit appeared, forming an Innate Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Yet while others did not know, Lu Changsheng knew exactly what kind of artifact this was.

It was a merit immortal artifact.

It possessed three supreme divine effects.

The first divine effect: untouched by karma! When this artifact slew an enemy, no matter what happened, it would not become stained by even the slightest trace of karma. Unless one was a peerless existence, no one could calculate this karmic connection. And such peerless experts were no ordinary immortals, but powerhouses among immortals.

The second divine effect: supreme fortune. Possessing this immortal artifact was equivalent to possessing supreme fortune. It was also a sect-suppressing treasure, capable of suppressing a sect's fortune and ensuring its prosperity endured unbroken into the future.

The third divine effect was innate invincible defense. Placing the pagoda above one's head rendered one innately undefeated. If the pagoda was used to attack, there were no flashy divine abilities or Dao techniques—it simply crushed with force. A single strand of Innate Xuanhuang Qi could crush a great mountain, while a single stream of Innate Xuanhuang Qi could crush a hundred mountain ranges!

With offense and defense both accounted for, it could no longer be described as an immortal artifact. It could only be described as an immortal object.

Lu Changsheng did not know how immortal artifacts were classified, but he knew that this pagoda was a peerless immortal artifact, the most supreme kind of immortal artifact.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng also knew that this pagoda's full name should be—

Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.

And according to the information conveyed by the pagoda, Lu Changsheng also learned that it could evolve once more, though it required even more merit from Heaven and Earth.

As long as enough merit was provided, it could evolve into an invincible divine artifact in the future.

But for now, that was out of the question.

Still, Lu Changsheng was well aware that although this immortal artifact was invincibly powerful, it was not something he could activate.

His realm was too low. He simply could not fully awaken this pagoda.

Lu Changsheng found this easy enough to understand.

According to the law of conservation of energy, however much power one wished to release, one had to absorb an equal amount of energy. This was very easy to understand.

Of course, although he could not fully awaken the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda, it could automatically absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, thereby protecting him.

In other words, from now on, if I could beat an enemy, I would just fight! If I couldn't, I would hide inside the pagoda!

Mm, quite nice indeed!

Though he had made such a grand vow, Lu Changsheng was not worried in the slightest. He could pay it back slowly anyway.

May all living beings become dragons—but I never said when it had to come true!

Future matters could wait until the future.

You could not even live your present life properly, yet you were thinking about the future?

As for karma, this and that—

With the mindset of a modern person, it was actually easy to understand.

Originally, he had been a modern person with a lifespan of only a hundred years. Subtracting eating, drinking, relieving himself, and all sorts of miscellaneous things, he would have had only around thirty years to truly enjoy life.

Now, he had transmigrated into a world of immortals and martial arts.

People here could casually live for three thousand, five thousand, even ten thousand years.

It would be even better if one became an immortal—then one could live tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years.

So what if there was karma?

After living for hundreds of thousands, even several hundred thousand years, you would have already enjoyed everything there was to enjoy.

Why care about such meaningless things?

So, if he had not already triggered such an enormous phenomenon, Lu Changsheng would have wanted to make several more grand vows.

For example—

When I become immortal, all people shall become immortal!

When I proclaim myself emperor, all people shall proclaim themselves emperor!

When I attain eternal life, all beings as numerous as the dust particles formed from the shattered stars across all time and space, past and future, who think of my name, shall attain eternal life. If not, then I shall not attain eternal life.

Suppressing the urge to say those words aloud, Lu Changsheng watched as the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda vanished, transforming into a golden pagoda the size of a fingernail. It circled around him like the glow of a grain of rice, yet its power could sink an entire province. If it fully awakened, it could even destroy the entire cultivation world!

What a beast!

All phenomena withdrew at this moment.

Had dawn not already broken—

It would have been as though nothing had happened.

Lu Changsheng descended onto the Dao Discussion Hall.

Then he slowly said, "This sermon and lesson have come to an end!"

With that, Lu Changsheng turned and left.

He had already done everything he needed to do. What was the point of staying here?

To be ogled at like a monkey?

He might as well go back and properly study the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda he had just obtained.

Lu Changsheng remained calm.

But the people of the world could not remain calm.

One line: "The movement of heaven is ever vigorous; thus the gentleman strives unceasingly."

One line: "I am Lu Changsheng. I wish for all living beings to become dragons."

He had even made a heaven-shaking grand vow and obtained the supreme treasure, the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.

These events left people unable to recover their senses for a long while.

The emotions of the world were extraordinarily complicated.

To say they were not envious would be impossible.

However, aside from Lu Changsheng, the happiest person was Qingyun Daoist.

"My disciple has the makings of an immortal."

Qingyun Daoist spoke slowly, the smile on his face impossible to conceal. ——

After an intense night of discussion, I have finally become the president of my province's Appearance Association. In a few days, I will also be taking part in the assessment for president of the National Appearance Association!

It was already six when I got home, but I earnestly wrote a chapter!

Because once I make a promise, I must keep it!

Thank you all for your support!

Thank you to all you tough guys and lovely young ladies!

Thank you!
