The Heavenly Dao's Plan

of its profound meaning.

A being carrying such immense Merit, if not a Child of the Heavenly Dao, then who could it be?

It's just that this Child of the Heavenly Dao seems to be squandering it a bit too much...

Within the Demon Race Heavenly Court, After Di Jun brought back five million eight hundred thousand Merit, he quickly went into seclusion, focusing on refining the Merit to seek a breakthrough.

This matter caused endless discussion among the Demon Clan:

"I heard His Majesty the Demon Emperor personally went to Wuji Heaven and exchanged for a massive amount of Merit!"

"What is the origin of that Lu Changsheng? He's actually willing to exchange Merit for Spiritual Treasures?"

"They all say he's a Child of the Heavenly Dao, but who knows if it's true or not..."

Not only the Demon Clan was in an uproar, Within the Heavenly Origin Sect, since Primordial Heavenly Lord entered seclusion and the Vice Sect Master Randeng went to Wuji Heaven to serve as the head of security, The Twelve Golden Immortals also began to discuss Wuji Heaven and the matter of Merit:

"I heard Vice Sect Master Randeng went to Wuji Heaven to be the head of security, and he can gain a million Merit in a thousand years!"

"A million Merit? What kind of foundation does that Lu Changsheng have to afford such a price?"

"They all say he is a Child of the Heavenly Dao, carrying immeasurable Merit..."

As the rumors about Lu Changsheng spread further throughout the Primordial World, Soon, the news of Hongyun exchanging Primordial Violet Qi for two hundred million Merit also spread like wildfire.

For a time, the Primordial World was shaken, Many powerful beings who were still observing were shocked by this news.

Two hundred million Merit!

Such a sum, could it truly be possessed by a being in the Primordial World?

To be able to produce such Merit in one go, not only is he a Child of the Heavenly Dao, He could practically be called a Child of the Great Dao!

Just as all beings were stunned by Lu Changsheng's astonishing financial power, Lu Changsheng was also in Wuji Heaven, tallying the Spiritual Treasures he had exchanged and the Merit he had consumed during this period.

After being verified by Kunpeng, East King Duke, and Randeng one by one, Kunpeng finally compiled a total inventory of treasures.

Looking at the astonishing quantities listed on the jade slip, the hands of the three Primordial World powerhouses couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Treasures were piled up like mountains here.

The Merit consumed had accumulated to an immeasurable astronomical figure.

This number had long surpassed the scope that the three Primordial World powerhouses could imagine.

"G-Great Master, everything has been tallied!"

Kunpeng, accompanied by East King Duke and Randeng, came before Lu Changsheng with a trembling voice.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was leisurely enjoying a Ginseng Fruit.

Seeing Kunpeng's voice shaking violently, Lu Changsheng chuckled and cursed him as "useless."

He then instructed:

"Report them one by one."

"As you command, Great Master!"

Receiving Lu Changsheng's instructions, Kunpeng began to report one by one:

"Great Master, we have exchanged for three Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures this time.

They are the Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner brought by Fellow Daoist Ming He, the Primordial Violet Gold Hairpin brought by Fellow Daoist Houtu, and the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd brought by Fellow Daoist Hongyun."

Upon hearing this, Randeng and East King Duke couldn't help but quicken their breathing.

Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures were the highest existences in the Primordial World, second only to Innate Supreme Treasures.

It's important to know that throughout the entire Primordial World, the number of Innate Supreme Treasures was very small, countable on one's fingers.

Besides those, the strongest Magic Treasures were these Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and they were themselves extremely rare.

Lu Changsheng listened, took out the three Spiritual Treasures, and examined them carefully.

The first one was the Primordial Violet Gold Hairpin.

The tip of the hairpin exuded a cold light, as if it could pierce the universe.

With just a glance, one could feel its sharp edge pressing against their spine.

This hairpin is a spiritual item born of the Innate, capable of breaking formations, piercing armor, and striking directly at the core of the Primordial Spirit.

Lu Changsheng examined it carefully before contentedly putting it away.

"It truly is an excellent magic treasure for offense and breaking formations."

He praised it inwardly.

Next, he looked at the second Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure:

The Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner.

This was Ming He's protective treasure, one of the Ten Great Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and also the Northern Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner among the Innate Five Directional Banners.

Although its killing power was somewhat ordinary, its defensive capabilities were enough to rank in the top three of the Primordial World.

It was truly a rare treasure for defense.

Gazing at the Great Dao Divine Runes flowing across the banner, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but murmur:

"Misty Heaven and Earth, obscuring the sun and sky, all evils retreat, all magic is unassailable."

He played with it for a moment, nodding slightly, finding the treasure acceptable.

Though he didn't need it himself, it felt comfortable to hold and fiddle with.

Lu Changsheng then turned his gaze to the last Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure--

The Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd.

It grew on the western side of Buzhou Mountain.

It was one of seven gourds produced by the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root Gourd Vine, and it was purplish-red.

Named the Nine-Nine Soul Scattering Gourd, it primarily controlled killing, capable of eroding the Primordial Spirit and scattering the soul, its power was extremely formidable, truly a rare offensive weapon.

Seeing that the gourd focused on offense, Lu Changsheng's face showed a pleased expression.

Compared to defensive magic treasures, he preferred offensive ones.

A playful smile then appeared on his lips.

He never expected that Hongyun, known as a kind-hearted person, would refine such a ruthless magic treasure. It seemed he wasn't as benevolent as he appeared.

Lu Changsheng contentedly accepted it, nodding and saying:

"Good, continue the report."

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng swallowed his envious saliva and continued to report:

"Five Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, seven Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, forty-nine Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, three thousand eight hundred and fifty Acquired Supreme Treasures, and a total of eighteen thousand nine hundred and sixty-eight Acquired Spiritual Treasures."

Hearing these numbers, Kunpeng, East King Duke, and Randeng couldn't help but gasp.

How many magic treasures were there in the entire Primordial World?

This place had almost gathered half of the Primordial World's spiritual treasures.

Thinking this, the three great beings couldn't help but exclaim:

"Great Master's merits are immeasurable!"

Lu Changsheng, however, remained unfazed.

After all, Innate magic treasures were limited, and most were merely Acquired items, which didn't sound particularly rare.

Acquired magic treasures were not precious in his eyes.

"Is there anything else?"

He casually picked up a Ginseng Fruit and asked while eating.

Hearing this, Kunpeng quickly continued to read:

"Great Master, there are also various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, such as the Enlightenment Stone, Chaos Immortal Gold, Mysterious Spirit Wood, and--"

Midway through his recitation, Kunpeng saw a name and his throat bobbed.

It was a rare healing sacred item in the Primordial World.

After a slight pause, he continued:

"and the healing treasure, Three Lights Divine Water, totaling 105,736 items."

Upon hearing the name Three Lights Divine Water, Lu Changsheng's gaze shifted.

Randeng and East King Duke both showed deep envy in their eyes.

Three Lights Divine Water, that was a legendary treasure!

It was divided into the light of the sun, moon, and stars.

When separated, it was a potent poison that could corrode Primordial Spirits, dissolve true spirits, and erode consciousness;

when combined, it was the supreme healing artifact in the Primordial World!

It could revive the dead, reshape bones, and reawaken true spirits, all with ease!

Even if they possessed just a single drop, they would have no future worries when fighting others to the death!

But such divine artifacts were far too rare; they could only dream of them, there was no way they could obtain them.

Lu Changsheng naturally understood the miraculous uses of Three Lights Divine Water.

However, he didn't take it to heart and casually asked, "How much Three Lights Divine Water is there?"

Kunpeng carefully examined the list and replied, "A total of six drops."

Three Lights Divine Water was extremely rare in the Primordial World, always counted by the drop.

Only Primordial Heavenly Lord and Nuwa, two Saints, possessed it.

For ordinary powerful beings, obtaining even one drop was a tremendous stroke of luck.

Upon hearing Kunpeng's report, Lu Changsheng said without hesitation, "You've all performed well recently. These six drops of Three Lights Divine Water are all for you."

Although Three Lights Divine Water was a rare healing artifact in the Primordial World, it was useless to Lu Changsheng.

Hearing Lu Changsheng's generous reward, Kunpeng, East King Duke, and Ming He were all stunned, their faces filled with surprise:

"Great Master, aren't you keeping some for yourself?"

They truly couldn't understand why the Great Master was so indifferent to such a precious healing artifact.

Lu Changsheng found it amusing upon hearing them, "What would I do with it?

I am protected by the Heavenly Dao, even Saints cannot harm me in the slightest. Who else could possibly injure me?"

Possessing billions of Merit, Lu Changsheng's fortune and luck had long reached an unimaginable realm.

Even the Heavenly Dao had to yield before him.

Precisely because of this, Lu Changsheng was not interested in defensive magic treasures, and instead favored offensive ones.

After all, if no one could harm him, why would he need defense?

After hearing Lu Changsheng's answer, Kunpeng and the other two were completely speechless.

This was practically blatant showing off.

But what he said was undeniably true.

Thus, the three could only "tearfully"

accept this healing treasure.

While expressing their gratitude to the Great Master verbally, Kunpeng and the other two couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

This Great Master is truly worthy of following! He genuinely rewards them with treasures.

After accepting the Three Lights Divine Water, they calmed their emotions and continued down the list:

"Regarding spiritual roots, there is one top-grade Innate Spiritual Root—Yellow Middle Plum."

Reading this, the three great powers of the Primordial World couldn't help but swallow again.

Yellow Middle Plum was one of the Ten Great Innate Spiritual Roots, a rare treasure in the Primordial World. Who would easily trade it?

Although the effect of spiritual fruits diminishes with repeated consumption, and their maturation cycle could take tens of thousands of years, for a sect, it was a great opportunity to improve the cultivation of its disciples.

The original owner was a rogue cultivator who had not established a sect, and having already consumed it once, its effects were greatly reduced, which was why he was willing to trade it.

Lu Changsheng took out the Yellow Middle Plum and examined it carefully.

Its exterior appeared to be an ordinary root, but upon closer inspection, it contained profound Daoist rhymes.

Especially the nine golden-yellow spiritual fruits, their essence surged, and divine runes of laws were faintly visible, truly a rare treasure.

He looked for a while and then asked leisurely, "What else?"

Kunpeng continued his report:

"Additionally, there are nineteen Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, forty-eight Low-grade Innate Spiritual Roots, and a total of twenty-four thousand nine hundred Acquired Spiritual Roots.

There are also over seventy thousand various divine ability items, and a wisp of Primordial Violet Qi that Great Master obtained from Hongyun.

These are all the treasures acquired in this exchange."

After reading the list, Kunpeng's throat was dry and he was utterly exhausted.

He, the notorious "pauper,"

had truly broadened his horizons this time—

after all, few in the Primordial World could witness so many treasures at once.

After hearing Kunpeng's report, Lu Changsheng delved into the System to check his total expenditure.

Upon seeing it, he was a bit bewildered:

"What's going on? It only cost nearly twenty billion Merit?

Almost thirty percent of the treasures in the Primordial World are only worth this little?"

Looking at the Merit total, which had barely decreased, Lu Changsheng was speechless for a moment.

Twenty billion Merit was indeed a substantial sum.

But compared to the total of hundreds of trillions, it was merely two ten-thousandths.

It was like a drop in the ocean.

At this rate of consumption, when would it ever run out?

Hearing Lu Changsheng's lament, Kunpeng, East King Duke, and Randeng were stunned.

Twenty... twenty billion...

And he still thought it wasn't enough?
