Xuanqing Hooks His Master, Reincarnation Takes the Bait
Seeing his disciple thinking of him so much, the Ancestor Reincarnation was very pleased.
"I'll take whatever you like."
Then, to Xuanqing's astonishment, surprise, and dumbfounded gaze...
An even more terrifying Golden Wheel of Merit appeared behind the head of the Ancestor Reincarnation.
The moment this Golden Wheel of Merit appeared, it illuminated the entire Daoist Arena of the Ancestor Reincarnation, which spanned the entire Middle Thousand World, with Jinguang.
The Jinguang even shone through the Daoist Arena.
The light illuminated the entire area encompassing several Great Thousand World surrounding the Ancestor Reincarnation Daoist Arena, making it shimmer with Jinguang.
"This...! This is too terrifying!"
Xuanqing stared at the Golden Wheel of Merit spinning behind the head of the Ancestor Reincarnation, and was so shocked that he was speechless.
These two Golden Wheel of Merit, one large and one small, how much merit has my master accumulated?
"Well, my good disciple, now you can accept the Golden Wheel of Merit that your master bestows upon you with peace of mind."
This is what you deserve, my disciple.
The reason I have been able to accumulate so much merit is all thanks to your reminder, my disciple.
Those Senior Uncle and junior masters who stepped in to protect you unexpectedly saved the Western Continent from the ravages of war.
Therefore, the entire Western Continent owes its master a huge Causality from Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
That's why Heavenly Dao bestowed such a vast amount of merit to resolve the karmic Causality.
If it weren't for your reminder, my disciple, I wouldn't have been able to accumulate so much merit.
"Please accept this Golden Wheel of Merit disciple."
The Ancestor Reincarnation explained the whole story, revealing that he truly intended to bestow the Golden Wheel of Merit upon his disciple, Xuanqing.
"Thank you for the reward, Master."
Since the Ancestor Reincarnation is protected by an even more terrifying Golden Wheel of Merit.
Xuanqing didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the Golden Wheel of Merit.
The moment the Golden Wheel of Merit was acquired, it transformed into an ethereal entity and hovered behind Xuanqing's head, constantly protecting Xuanqing.
At this moment, Xuanqing felt his mind was clear and free from all evil influences, and even his comprehension had significantly improved.
Even the laws of heaven and earth seemed to soften towards him.
"Master, you have bestowed this Golden Wheel of Merit upon your disciple."
This reminds me of an interesting incident that happened during my travels through the Primordial Wilderness."
Xuanqing's lips curled into a Daoism. Such a good opportunity—if not now, when?
"Oh? What interesting thing does my disciple want to share with me that has to do with merit?"
The Ancestor Reincarnation immediately became interested; anything involving merit was definitely a good thing.
Although he gained immense merit from his deeds in the Western Continent, that did not prevent him from acquiring even more merit.
After all, the more merit one accumulates, the better.
When one accumulates enough merit, even the Heavenly Dao dares not touch him.
"Master, this is what happened."
When I was heading towards Buzhou Mountain, I met my fellow Daoists Fuxi Nuwa.
The three of us then sat down on a sacred mountain and discussed the Dao.
During this time, some beings saw the strange phenomena of us discussing the Dao and came to listen to our teachings.
The disciple saw that those beings had a firm heart for the Dao, but lacked the opportunity and guidance of a master.
Feeling compassion, he joined forces with his fellow Nuwa Fuxi and Nuwa to preach the Dao to those living beings.
Unexpectedly, after the three of us preached, we gained Destiny/Luck and a little merit from those beings.
The disciple was thinking that back then, the three of us had only given a rough explanation of the Dao below the level of Daluo Golden Immortal.
Then one can obtain the Destiny/Luck and merit of those living beings.
If you, Master, were to preach to all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness world as the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable, I wonder what immense gains you would reap."
Xuanqing revealed his ultimate goal in one breath: his return to the Ancestor Reincarnation's Daoist Arena was for this very purpose.
"Oh? Such a thing is true?"
Upon hearing of this extraordinary event, the Ancestor Reincarnation became intrigued.
Moreover, since this matter is related to merit and Destiny/Luck, the Ancestor Reincarnation became even more interested.
After all, he was able to advance to the Second Heaven of the Hunyuan Celestial Venerable because his disciple somehow obtained a massive amount of Destiny/Luck for him.
Furthermore, the power of merit allows him to be more composed and confident when he contends with the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
This is absolutely true.
The disciple kept thinking about it on his way back.
At this moment, none of the countless beings in the Primordial Wilderness have a way to break through to the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal.
They were all hindered by that invisible force and unable to break through.
If a Heavenly Venerate or Great Being were to preach in the Primordial Wilderness, imparting to the countless beings of the Primordial Wilderness the method to break through realms.
They will likely gain immense Destiny/Luck and merit.
However, it seems that since it is Heavenly Dao's will that is suppressing all beings from breaking through, this matter is not so simple.
Xuanqing's seemingly unintentional remark was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue in the second chapter of Ancestor Reincarnation.
These words exploded in the mind of the Ancestor Reincarnation.
"No! Wait a minute! What did you just say, disciple?!"
The Ancestor Reincarnation seemed to grasp something instantly, staring wide-eyed at Xuanqing.
At this moment, Xuanqing was overjoyed.
Their master has taken the bait.
Although it might seem like he's betraying his own master, his master could also reap huge benefits from it.
"Master, your disciple just said that if you preach to all living beings, you will surely gain great Destiny/Luck and merit."
Master, what's wrong?
Xuanqing pretended not to know anything and asked.
"Not this sentence, it's the last sentence."
The Ancestor Reincarnation waved his hand and spoke again excitedly.
"The last sentence? My disciple said it was about the Heavenly Dao suppressing the breakthroughs of all living beings."
"Isn't this what you and your disciple said, Master?"
Xuanqing, not understanding why, spoke up.
"Hahaha, here it comes, here it comes, you finally found out, my good master."
"Thanks to my guidance!"
Xuanqing cheered with excitement in his heart.
"Yes, that's it. I see, I see."
I will now explain why the Heavenly Dao suppresses the breakthroughs of all living beings.
Even if we don't allow all living beings to follow the Law Path, we should still allow them to follow the path of Primordial Spirit and magical power.
So that's how it is. Heavenly Dao, Hongjun, you two are truly cunning.
If it weren't for my good disciple Xuanqing's accidental discovery...
It seems that such a tremendous opportunity has truly been divided up entirely by you two, Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.
No, I need to contact Fellow Daoist Yang Mei immediately, as well as other fellow Daoists such as Five Elements, Qiankun, and Creation.
This is something we, his former fellow practitioners, must shoulder together to overcome.
Although I wanted to seize this opportunity on my own.
But this will inevitably attract the full-scale attack of Heavenly Dao and Hongjun.
"We must bring these fellow Daoists with us to share the pressure from the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun."
The Ancestor Reincarnation was so excited that he was incoherent, and his hands were trembling.
"Master, what are you talking about? What pressure from the Heavenly Dao and Old Ancestor Hongjun?"
Could it be that this sermon, concerning the opportunities of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness, also involves the Heavenly Dao and the Old Ancestor Hongjun?
Xuanqing looked at his extremely excited master with curiosity and asked.
"My disciple, you guessed correctly. This matter involves the Heavenly Dao and the Old Thief Hongjun."
I never imagined that Heavenly Dao and Hongjun's schemes were so profound.
They were already planning something so far in advance, long after the Fierce Beast Calamity.
The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun were essentially plotting against the countless beings of the entire Primordial Wilderness.
The intention was to preach and harvest the Destiny/Luck and merit of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness after Hongjun attained enlightenment and became Heavenly Dao Saint.
