Merit Radiance!

"Husband, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what has happened."

Ao Le, standing to the side, was also extremely curious about the changes, like a cat's claws, and kept urging him to ask questions.

Lu Qingfeng smiled, but before he could say anything...

Upon hearing this, Ao Lie snorted and said, "So you two had planned this all along. I thought my little sister was going crazy with joy and sorrow, but I didn't expect to be the laughingstock of others."

"Third Brother."

Ao Le felt a pang of guilt upon hearing this and looked at Ao Lie, only to see a mocking smile on his face. She realized she had been tricked. Feeling embarrassed, she retorted, "Third Brother, do you still want to hear it?"

"Listen, listen, listen!"

"Of course I'll listen."

Having won back a point, Ao Lie immediately burst into laughter, his gaze falling on Lu Qingfeng.

"This matter—"

Lu Qingfeng did not hide anything and immediately recounted the events that had happened before and after he went from the Silver River Water Palace to the Three Armies Censure Office.

Half Moon.

Outside the Silver River Water Palace, Lu Qingfeng used his great magic to subdue the demons of Green Bull Mountain, along with the Green Bull King and his son. This was discovered by the investigators of the Censure Office, who were monitoring the Purple Sun River and the surrounding areas of the Silver River and waiting for Lu Qingfeng's return. They reported this to the Demon-Pursuing General and the Devil-Capturing General stationed in the area.

Two fourth-rank Censure Office arrived with their troops and forced Lu Qingfeng to the Censure Office.

It's quite a coincidence.

In the Investigation and Investigation Department, the investigating deity was actually a member of the faction of Ao Shang, the mighty marshal of the Eastern Heaven Army, and had a close personal relationship with Ao Geng of Wujiang. Upon seeing Lu Qingfeng, without saying a word, he ordered torture to extract a confession and imprison him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingfeng resisted on the spot and captured the Divine Lord of Censure before the officials and generals of the Censure Office could react.

Then, Luofuzi, the Mount Yu Sect Leader, arrived.

Together with Lu Qingfeng, they ostentatiously brought the Divine Lord of Censure before the Grand Marshal of the Earth-Suppressing Army.

Then.

Lu Qingfeng recounted the events of a hundred years ago, and his Merit Radiance in all directions. Not only was his injustice cleared, but he also took over the Censure Office, transforming himself into the new chief official in charge of investigating demons and correcting good and evil in the three armies.

That is, to Divine Lord of Censure Guangyuan!

"Merit Radiance?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but gasp in surprise, their eyes widening in astonishment.

Only Ao Le maintained a constant smile, indicating that he had known all along.

"More than three hundred years ago, I pretended to enter the Ghost-Cry Maze, but in reality, I saw through the true purpose of the Bloodspring Demon Sect Abyss-Suppressing Grand Formation. So I joined the sect of the Venerable Ten Thousand Evils, displayed my mastery of array formations, and presided over the construction of the Ghost-Cry Maze Abyss-Suppressing Grand Formation."

"Over the course of two hundred years, I set up the array while simultaneously studying it, and secretly incorporated hidden techniques into it. After the array was completed two hundred years later, I used this Abyss-Suppressing Grand Formation to spend several decades exploring all the other hundreds of arrays of the Bloodspring Demon Sect."

"Once the Bloodspring Demon Sect launches its attack, we will seize the opportunity to thwart its earth-shattering conspiracy by employing methods we have long concealed. This will avert the danger of the East Sinking Continent Lu Chen and save countless Spirit Birth in the East Sinking Continent. As a result, Heaven and Earth will be moved and bestow boundless Merit, which will condense into Merit Radiance that illuminates the sea of consciousness."

As Lu Qingfeng spoke, his mind was racing.

A serene and bright light shone upon the main hall, Lu Qingfeng, standing within it, was surrounded by a halo behind his head, making him appear exceptionally sacred.

It is the profound and mysterious Merit Radiance!

Cultivators accumulate Merit and perform countless good deeds, yet the Merit is meager and pitiful. Merit is not outwardly manifest, let alone condensed into Merit Radiance within the sea of consciousness.

Many Daoist True Immortal and Buddhist Sect Vajras who Mystic Sect virtue and good deeds have to reincarnate and cultivate for countless lifetimes before they have a slight chance of achieving the Merit Radiance. At that time, they have a great hope of ascending to the status of Earth Immortal Fruit Position.

However, the path of cultivation through countless lifetimes and the cycle of reincarnation are fraught with endless dangers. Doing good deeds only brings karmic entanglements, making one highly susceptible to attracting powerful demons, and it is not uncommon for one to perish halfway through the journey.

For example, Lu Qingfeng.

Let alone the fact that the collapse of the Blood Sea and the destruction of an entire continent, resulting in the annihilation of countless Spirit Birth, is a catastrophe that occurs only once in millions of years. Even if it were to happen, figures like the Heaven-Suppressing Grand Marshal would be powerless to destroy it.

It was a desperate situation.

Lu Qingfeng's array formations were extraordinary, otherworldly, and he had anticipated the enemy's moves and made preparations in advance. In addition, he had an avatar merge with the Blood Sea using the "Blood Sea True Scripture," which averted the disaster.

This is true and cannot Copy.

Even so, there were still countless sins surging forth, and Karmic Power binding him. If Lu Qingfeng had not had the "Yellow Court Scripture" to protect him and not be afraid of Karmic Power, he would probably have ended up dying and his soul dissipating.

Despite numerous hardships and endless dangers, they saved millions of Spirit Birth from the brink of death.

It deserves to be called 'Merit'.

When the Great Marshal of the Town appeared before him, the Merit Radiance immediately silenced all doubts. There was no longer any reason to question what Lu Qingfeng had said.

This is Lu Qingfeng's greatest source of confidence that he can prove his innocence.

As for the Divine Lord of Censure, it was unexpected by Lu Qingfeng and could be considered a pleasant surprise.

"The reason my husband took a hundred years to return was because he suffered a backlash from destroying the Abyss-Suppressing Grand Formation. Fortunately, he was protected by the Merit Radiance and survived. After a hundred years of recuperation, his injuries were fully healed, and he rushed back as soon as possible."

Ao Le spoke up, adding to Lu Qingfeng's words.

"I see."

Ao Zhan and Ao Lie thought to themselves, and when they recalled their earlier guess, they couldn't help but chuckle.

Ao Lie looked at Lu Qingfeng, his eyes suddenly shining brightly, " With the Merit Radiance protecting him, won't my brother-in-law be able to walk sideways in Ancient Sorrow from now on?!"

Great Merit is accumulated.

It is protected by heaven and earth.

Although this 'Merit Radiance' is not as impervious to Myriad Arts as the 'Merit Golden Light,' it is still truly wondrous. What's even more wonderful is that it possesses Merit, so all righteous people can only pay homage and dare not be negligent, much less dare to kill it.

Such great fortune and Merit, once killed, even if only instigated or fueled from behind, will inevitably bring boundless Karmic Power upon them, just like the two True Immortal ancestors of the Bloodspring Demon Sect, who were directly burned by Karmic Fire. Not only will their thousands or tens of thousands of years of cultivation be destroyed in an instant, but they will also suffer all kinds of sins after entering the Netherworld.

Whether or not they can be reincarnated is another matter.

Even if one is reincarnated, the Karmic Power and negative consequences will likely be difficult to eliminate even after ten lifetimes.

Even those who follow the Demon Dao would never want to provoke such a person.

Therefore.

All cultivators in the world treat those with great Merit with utmost respect and dare not provoke them. Otherwise, they will pester you relentlessly, making you neither able to fight nor kill them, and truly difficult to deal with.

Even the three Grand Marshals of the Heaven-Suppressing, Earth-Suppressing, and Demon-Breaking Armies, upon seeing the Merit Radiance, all changed their attitudes towards Lu Qingfeng.

Walking sideways?

That's about right.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two divine generals, General Zhang Chi, the Mighty Radiance Thunderbolt General, and General Du Yuanqing, the Six-Wave Water-Coiling General, exchanged a strange glance and remained silent.

He glanced at the Divine Lord Guangyuan without showing any emotion, thinking to himself, "People who aren't family really do come from the same door."

Before even taking office, this Divine Lord Guangyuan dared to openly overturn the Divine Court of Censure Office, not only beating up the incumbent Divine Lord of Censure and Punishment, but also marching with wind and thunder straight into the camp of the Grand Marshal of the Town.

The three armies roared.

They were incredibly arrogant.

The deity's account just now was indeed very tactful.

In reality, it's far more than just "walking sideways" as Ao Lie described.

Relying on his Merit Radiance, this Divine Lord Guangyuan didn't even put the Grand Marshal of the Three Armies in his eyes, which truly shocked everyone in the army.

When they took office as commanders of the Divine Lord, they only reluctantly obeyed his orders because of the prestige of the Zhen Tian Army under the Eastern Heaven Marshal, Ao Shang.

But now, under Lu Qingfeng's command, they are extremely respectful and dare not offend him in the slightest.

What a ruthless person.

We cannot afford to offend them.

"Ha ha!"

"Third Brother is joking."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled and didn't respond to Ao Lie's words.

Ao Jun stood to the side, his expression strange. He hadn't expected his usually stern father to have this side to him. Ao Zhan, on the other hand, glanced at Ao Lie, who immediately felt a chill run down his spine, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

Lu Qingfeng chuckled inwardly, then straightened his expression and looked at Ao Zhan. "My crimes have been cleared, and the crimes that implicated my father are naturally no longer relevant. The Heaven-Suppressing Grand Marshal has declared that if my father wishes to return to Ancient Sorrow, he will be provided with a position no less prestigious than that of the Min River. If he wishes to remain in the East Submerging Continent, his position as the Water Lord of the Poison Dragon Pool will be elevated to the second rank, restoring his status as a Dragon Lord. He will also concurrently serve as a second-rank Divine General in the Three Armies, with ten thousand officers and soldiers."

Ao Zhan was banished to the Poison Dragon Pool, and his position as the Min River Dragon Lord was immediately replaced.

Going back now would be inappropriate as it would be difficult to force the Min River Dragon Lord to resign.

However, since the Heaven-Suppressing Grand Marshal has made a promise, if Ao Zhan chooses to return to Ancient Sorrow, his position will certainly not be inferior to that of the Min River. Moreover, he is located in the heartland, where the situation is stable.

As for the latter—

Staying in the East Submerging Continent to continue guarding the Poison Dragon Pool, despite the turmoil and the presence of various forces and demons, is a difficult situation.

However, he holds the positions of both a second-rank Dragon Lord and a second-rank Divine General.

Secondly, there are 10,000 officers and soldiers, who are the Sorrow River Water Army. Every soldier is blessed with the luck of the Sorrow River and has a fixed quota throughout the entire Sorrow River, so they hold real power.

Thirdly, although East Submerging Continent is chaotic, it is also full of fortuitous opportunity, making it a good place to pursue a promising future.

However, the final decision rests with Ao Zhan.

"It's better if Ancient Sorrow doesn't return."

Ao Zhan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he spoke to Lu Qingfeng.

"Then I, your son-in-law, would like to congratulate Father on regaining his rank of second grade."

"This second-rank general must be personally assigned to the Earth-Suppressing Army by Father King before his duties can be determined and his soldiers can be deployed."

Lu Qingfeng had already guessed that Ao Zhan would choose to stay, so he wasn't surprised and immediately congratulated him with a smile.

"Good!"

Great ups and downs.

Ao Zhan was also happy, and he couldn't hide it on his face.

The others in the hall, such as Ao Lie, Zhang Shu, and Ao Jun, need no further explanation.

First, the prince consort rose to the rank of a first-grade divine ruler, comparable to a marshal of the three armies. Looking at the entire Sorrow River, his rank was only below the Grand Marshal of the Five Armies and the Sorrow River Dragon King, which was extremely prestigious.

His subordinates also held real power in departments such as the Censure Office, wielding considerable authority.

At this time, Ao Zhan also held two second-rank divine positions, in charge of the Poison Dragon Pool, and commanded 10,000 soldiers and officers.

In this way.

The situation is very favorable.

It is foreseeable that the difficult situation of the past few decades will finally be a thing of the past.

"Congratulations, Father."

"Congratulations, my husband."

Ao Le, standing beside him, kept smiling, her heart filled with joy.

Lu Qingfeng grasped Ao Le's hand, his gaze falling on Zhang Shu. "This time, not only was the Divine Censure Office of Divine Lord of Censure imprisoned, but three deputy officials and two Rectifier of Good and Evil were also dismissed. I have just taken charge of the Censure Office, and I am currently short-handed. I wonder if Zhang Shu would be willing to come to the Censure Office to lend me a hand?"

The Censure Office Division has three deputy envoys who investigate demons and correct evil, and their ranks are third grade.

Two Rectifier of Good and Evil, holding the rank of third grade.

So, not to mention the fourth-rank gods, five third-rank gods alone were dismissed because of Lu Qingfeng.

That's really quite shocking.
