Zhunti to the side, wore an even more complex expression, a mixture of gratitude and barely concealed envy and bitterness. He sighed:
"Fellow Daoist, you are so humble. We fellow disciples are truly ashamed. We have the heart to save the world, but we do not have your Tongtian- reaching abilities or the fortune to possess great treasures."
Fellow Daoist, you possess a supreme Innate Supreme Treasure, and Dao Ancestor while listening to the Dao at the Purple Cloud Palace, this time... you even use the Three Lights Divine Water as rain...
Such a gesture is truly beyond our reach... Alas, it's a pity that the western land veins are so damaged and barren that we can't find a single decent spiritual item to repay your kindness!
His heart surged, and he casually unleashed Innate Supreme Treasure, top-grade spiritual treasures, and the Three Lights Divine Water... Such profound power and spirit were simply breathtaking.
Qing Huan, with keen insight, understood the probing and hidden thoughts in their words, and laughed loudly:
"Why should you belittle yourself, fellow Daoist? Opportunities are simply a matter of each person having their own destiny."
Now that you two have arrived, at a time when countless beings are being reborn from calamity and turning their hearts towards the Great Dao, why not set up an altar on the spot, expound the profound Great Dao, awaken their spiritual wisdom, and impart the Dharma to them?
This act, which benefits the West fundamentally and will benefit future generations, is far more Merit than my mere repair techniques.
"This opportunity is perfectly made possible by the two of you fellow Daoists!"
He cleverly and quietly passed on the "good job" of "preaching"—which could both accumulate Merit and solidify the foundation of faith—to Jieyin and Zhunti.
He doesn't want to enjoy Merit Luck alone; he always wants to leave some for others.
Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes suddenly lit up, and they instantly understood Qing Huan's profound meaning and "generosity".
For the two of them, it was like a godsend!
Their eyes met, their hearts aligned, and the sorrow on their faces eased. They bowed simultaneously, their voices filled with barely suppressed joy:
"Excellent! Excellent! Fellow Daoist's words are exactly in line with our original intention to save the world!"
Below, countless Primordial Wilderness beings, who had just undergone the cleansing of demonic energy, the repair of their foundations, and the bathing in the Creation, were already moved to tears of gratitude, regarding today as a rebirth.
Upon hearing this news, it was like a thunderbolt, followed by an outpouring of overwhelming joy!
Exorcising demons and restoring one's original nature is already an immense act of kindness; now, to have the opportunity to personally receive the profound teachings of the Great Dao from a great Western Sage?
This string of good fortune far exceeded their wildest imaginations.
Countless beings trembled with excitement, once again bowing deeply before the three sacred and solemn figures in the clouds, their hearts filled with boundless longing and devout reverence for the opportunity to attain the Great Dao.
On the barren lands of the West, the long-lost vitality and yearning for the Tao are quietly reviving and flourishing with this sudden "purifying rain" and the impending "divine pronouncement of the Great Dao Tao."
Within Zhenyuanzi's Cave Mansion, the Innate Deities possessed profound understanding, and the Quasi-Sage could deduce heavenly secrets. How could Qing Huan's actions escape their notice? However, all of this was limited to the time before the heavenly secrets were obscured.
Zhenyuanzi's face was ashen, but his eyes flashed with cold light.
Ha! A despicable person, feigning compassion and seeking fame in this Primordial Earth, is utterly contemptible!
Recalling Qing Huan's polite demeanor when we first met, it now seems even more hypocritical and glaring.
Attacking from behind with such despicable means is a disgrace to the name of the Innate Deities!
Even if you use clever words and flattery to paint a rosy picture, you can't hide the hypocrisy in your bones!
Zhenyuanzi was filled with hatred and wanted to devour someone, but a sliver of clarity remained in his mind.
He knew that if he were to fight Qing Huan alone, he would most likely be the one to die and vanish into nothingness.
Moreover, the primordial world is currently Primordial Wilderness and unpredictable; the true mortal enemies are still the twelve Ancestral Witch formed from the Pangu's Essence Blood.
Suppressing his rage, Zhenyuanzi focused his mind and made a mental note of this debt.
A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.
At the foot of the Western Spirit Mountain, the discourse on the Great Dao by the two Daoist masters, Jieyin and Zhunti, finally came to an end.
The billions of beings gathered below were still immersed in that profound Daoist charm, completely absorbed and unable to recover for a long time.
Having undergone thousands of years of Dao Sound chanting and nourishment from the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth, this once barren and desolate land has now been revitalized.
Spiritual roots sprout new green shoots, and immortal herbs sway in the breeze. As far as the eye can see, a lush and verdant landscape replaces the desolation of the past.
Just as the Dao Field came to an end, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed!
In the eastern sky, boundless purple energy surged and flowed, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, and in an instant, it gathered into layers of auspicious clouds, with thousands of auspicious rays and ten thousand rays of rosy light.
Heavenly Dao was moved, and a torrent of Golden Light of Merit!
Qing Huan stood atop the clouds, watching as the vast Merit poured into him like a celestial river, amounting to tens of millions of acres!
Although he was slightly surprised, he remained calm on the surface. The Merit tens of millions of acres seemed vast, but to attain the Primordial Saint Position, one needed hundreds of millions of acres. What he had gained now was merely a drop in the ocean.
Meanwhile, Zhunti and Jieyin each reaped approximately a thousand acres of Merit.
The two gazed at the dense, almost tangible golden halo Merit surrounding Qing Huan, their eyes filled with undisguised envy.
This is the initial achievement of opening up the West, Heavenly Dao has shown extraordinary favor to it. If there is a next time, it is feared that even half of it will be difficult to achieve.
"Fellow Qing Huan has received such immeasurable Merit, which truly makes us ashamed."
The Daoist Jieyin sighed deeply, his tone complex.
Qing Huan smiled calmly, his robe sleeves fluttering slightly:
"It was merely a coincidence. You two fellow Daoists have your hearts set on the West, and you have persevered in preaching the Dao and dispelling demons for all beings. Like grains of sand forming a tower, your blessings will eventually be fulfilled."
As for the unspoken criticism of "borrowing billions of Merit," it naturally remained hidden in their hearts—such a shocking and unconventional idea could probably only be conceived by these two Westerners.
"Excellent! I am grateful for your kind words, fellow Daoist. My fellow disciples and I will certainly do our best." Daoist Zhunti and replied.
"Having finished my business here, I have other appointments to attend to, so I will take my leave now. I look forward to discussing the Dao and reminiscing with you two fellow Daoists another day when I have more free time."
Before Qing Huan could finish speaking, his figure had already vanished from the spot without a trace.
Watching Qing Huan depart, Jieyin and Zhunti turned their gazes to the myriad beings below. Jieyin a loud voice:
"We have established this Dao Field to preach the Great Dao. Those who are destined may follow my fellow disciples in cultivation."
Upon hearing this, all the spirits below erupted in excitement, and countless yearning and pleading gazes converged on the two figures in the clouds.
To become a disciple of a great master and seek the Dao Fruit to immortality is the long-cherished wish of all living beings!
"We humbly beseech the Immortal to have mercy and accept us as his disciples!"
Pleading voices rose and fell.
The Jieyin Spiritual Sense swept over, its brow furrowing slightly. It then transmitted Zhunti:
"Junior brother, although there are many living beings, their innate qualities and character vary greatly, and some are even burdened by karma."
Although our Western community has opened its doors wide, it is not a place to harbor filth and depravity. We will simply select a few virtuous individuals to take under our wing."
"Yes, I will obey my senior brother's instructions."
Zhunti agreement.
Qing Huan treads upon the misty Purple Cloud, departing from the western Earthly Realm, heading straight for the Solar Star that shines brightly in the Above the Nine Heavens the Primordial Wilderness.
The Lord of the Sun, Di Jun and Tai Yi, have already extended their invitations twice. To decline again would be against propriety.
This journey may offer an opportunity to obtain a wisp of Di Jun's Essence Blood... If things don't go smoothly, then we'll need to devise another plan and seek a better opportunity.
