The Heavenly Dao's Merit Treasure

"Is that even human talk?"

They had anticipated that this exchange for Primordial World treasures would cost a considerable amount, but they never imagined it would cost a full twenty billion Merit.

That was Merit!

They even doubted if the Heavenly Dao truly possessed such a vast reserve of Merit.

"Is our Great Master truly a Child of the Heavenly Dao?"

Randeng couldn't help but ask Kunpeng.

East King Duke also looked at Kunpeng and said:

"Even if he is a Child of the Heavenly Dao, he shouldn't be this extravagant, should he?"

Kunpeng was also stunned by the number.

Twenty billion Merit; even an ant could directly become a Saint with that much.

He swallowed with difficulty and replied:

"If he's not a Child of the Heavenly Dao, then what is he?

He can't possibly be the Heavenly Dao's father, right?"

Randeng and East King Duke found Kunpeng's words reasonable.

No matter how powerful, he couldn't possibly be the Heavenly Dao's father, right?

He shouldn't... he shouldn't be, right?

Little did they know, if the Heavenly Dao could take human form, let alone call Lu Changsheng 'father,'

it would probably unhesitatingly recognize him as its ancestor.

After all, those hundreds of trillions of Merit, even the Heavenly Dao would be envious upon seeing them.

Lu Changsheng was unaware of the thoughts of the three of them.

After a casual complaint, he looked at the piles of treasures stretching for miles in Wuji Heaven.

The first was a mountain of Magic Treasures, waiting for Kunpeng and the others to refine them one by one.

It stood a thousand feet tall;

even a Primordial World great power would spend a considerable amount of time on it.

The second was a mountain of Merit Treasures, slightly shorter, still over eight hundred feet tall.

The nearby mountain of Spiritual Roots and the mountain of heavenly materials and earthly treasures were even shorter.

The last pile, containing jade talismans that recorded divine abilities, was only a few dozen feet high.

The mountain range of treasures stretching for miles was particularly eye-catching within Wuji Heaven.

Viewed from afar, the scene was quite magnificent.

Looking at the spoils of this endeavor, a smile of satisfaction flickered across Lu Changsheng's lips.

Although this time did not consume too much Merit, the abundance of treasures obtained was already astonishing.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was certain, that even a Saint's treasury would be hard-pressed to compare with his collection.

At most, some Saints might have a slight edge in the quality of their Magic Treasures.

However, Lu Changsheng wasn't particularly concerned about Magic Treasures.

No matter how powerful or numerous, Magic Treasures were ultimately inferior to a Great Dao Saint.

As long as he didn't exhaust his Merit, he wouldn't be able to attain the Great Dao Saint realm.

Ultimately, he still needed to continue spending extravagantly!

With this thought, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Why, despite my efforts to spend extravagantly, does my Merit not seem to decrease?"

As he mused, he casually took out an Innate Spiritual Fruit and bit into it resentfully.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's words, The figures of the three people refining Merit into Magic Treasures were suddenly shaken.

Two hundred billion Merit was wasted, and they still said the Merit hadn't decreased?

How much Merit would one need to dare to say such a thing?

Could it truly be immeasurable Merit?

Thinking of this, the three sped up their refining of Merit.

If they worked diligently, perhaps the Great Master would be pleased and reward them with some Merit.

Lu Changsheng was unaware of the three's thoughts.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't reward them.

Because Merit wasn't something he could give away as he pleased—

Everything was controlled by the System.

Just as Lu Changsheng was biting into a spiritual fruit, complaining that all beings in the Primordial World were poor and stingy, His mind suddenly stirred.

He casually tossed aside the half-eaten Ginseng Fruit and whispered, "Preparing to break through already? This is faster than I expected."

After speaking, he turned to the three who were diligently refining Merit Treasures and commanded, "Prepare for this Venerable One."

He then sat cross-legged on the ground.

The Great Dao flowed, and the Primordial Creation Art circulated through the heavens.

The Three Thousand Dao Seeds began to evolve and deduce.

Muffled thunderous roars suddenly erupted from within Lu Changsheng's body.

The next moment, Three Thousand Laws ascended and intertwined, Endless profound Dao patterns permeated his body, Golden lotuses containing the aura of Laws bloomed one after another, Stretching endlessly, with no end in sight.

Brilliant golden light illuminated the boundless universe.

The River of Time silently manifested.

The profound truths of myriad Great Daos floated on the surface of the river like stars.

As they ebbed and flowed with the waves of time.

In the blink of an eye, the River of Time and Space also appeared.

The myriad brilliant stars shone in harmony.

Clear light cascaded onto Lu Changsheng's body.

Resonating with the countless acupoints in his Purple Mansion.

Instantly, the Three Thousand Laws wrapped around him like ribbons.

The aura of the Great Dao filled heaven and earth, Sweeping across the entire Wuji Heaven.

Causing Randeng, East King Duke, and Kunpeng to show expressions of shock.

"What kind of profound technique is Venerable cultivating?

Why would a mere breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint realm cause the Three Thousand Laws to dance together?"

All three were Quasi-Saint mighty figures of the Primordial World.

They were Innate Deities born at the beginning of creation.

Their foundations and aptitudes were both extraordinary.

However, even after cultivating to the late-stage Quasi-Saint realm or higher, They could not comprehend the profound mysteries of the Three Thousand Laws.

Let alone making the Laws actively surround and protect them.

Such divine abilities should only be controllable by Saints.

"Judging by this phenomenon, the profound technique Venerable cultivates is perhaps even more profound than what the Dao Ancestor taught!"

Randeng couldn't help but sigh.

All beings in the Primordial World universally acknowledged the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's method of severing three corpses as a supreme and wondrous technique.

This method was already the pinnacle of the Primordial World.

Attracting countless cultivators to eagerly practice it.

However, what the living beings did not know was.

This Dao contained a major flaw.

Aside from the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

No one else could sever the three corpses and have them merge into one to attain the Primordial Unity Dao Fruit.

This was the method cultivated by these top-tier great powers.

As for those slightly below them.

They practiced the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique created by the Six Sages of the Primordial World.

This technique could directly lead to the Quasi-Saint Dao Realm.

After the Dao Ancestor's third sermon, it became the supreme inheritance of the Primordial World.

Because the Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao.

The secret method of severing the three corpses was only bestowed upon the three thousand mortal guests of that year.

The highest method that cultivators in later generations could reach was the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique evolved by the Saints.

And from the perspective of Kunpeng and others who had practiced the severing of the three corpses method.

What Lu Changsheng cultivated was infinitely more profound than the technique they practiced.

They even vaguely sensed.

This method could directly lead to the Primordial Unity Grand Unity Dao Fruit!

Just as everyone was shocked by Lu Changsheng's profound mystery.

Lu Changsheng awoke from his breakthrough, opening his eyes, as if stars were shattering and all spirits were reincarnating.

With a single glance, the void cracked, and his aura was deep and long.

When he raised his hand, three thousand Laws surrounded him, and the might of the Great Dao shook the Nine Heavens.

"Boom—"

The majestic aura washed over the ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers in Wuji Heaven, and the might of a great power surged like a tide.

Even though he had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm, his mere presence suppressed Randeng, East King Duke, and Kunpeng, leaving them speechless with shock.

"Hoo—I didn't expect the breakthrough to be so easy."

Lu Changsheng exhaled a turbid breath, feeling the surging magic power within his body, and muttered to himself.

He didn't pay too much attention to the Quasi-Saint realm, as he could directly reach the Great Dao Saint Realm once his Merit was depleted—wasn't that more appealing than arduous cultivation?

Just as Lu Changsheng was muttering, a Saint's might suddenly enveloped heaven and earth.

The Saintly might swept across the Primordial World, purple qi came from the east for ten thousand miles, auspicious clouds floated in the sky, and auspicious colors filled the heavens.

Radiant light shone upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Dao rhythms flowed through all heavens, and the River of Time and Space appeared and disappeared, dazzling and brilliant.

Auspicious signs leaped within the light, Great Dao Laws cleansed all realms, golden lotuses bloomed and withered incessantly, and reincarnation continued without end.

The Saint's might enveloped heaven and earth; before arriving, its power had already reached, deterring all realms.

"This is... a Saint's breakthrough!"

Randeng looked at the celestial phenomenon in the sky and exclaimed in shock.

One had to know that after becoming a Saint, it was difficult to advance further.

"As expected of a Saint, the commotion of a breakthrough is truly extraordinary."

Lu Changsheng also gazed into the distance at the boundless auspicious clouds and sighed softly.

The commotion of a Saint's breakthrough was far more magnificent than his own Quasi-Saint breakthrough.

However, Lu Changsheng was not in a hurry.

Although he was still a Quasi-Saint, he had his own plans.

However, once his Merit was depleted, Lu Changsheng would directly attain the Great Dao Saint Realm.

One must know that the Great Dao Saint Realm was far superior to the Heavenly Dao Saint Realm attained by the Six Sages of the Primordial World.

It was a supreme realm that even the Great God Pangu had failed to achieve.

Kunpeng looked at the boundless auspicious signs, his eyes filled with envy, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"I wonder which of the Six Sages has broken through this time?"

While Lu Changsheng and others were alerted by the signs of a Saint's breakthrough, The countless living beings on the Primordial World were also shocked by the grand momentum of this Saint's breakthrough.

However, the affairs of Saints were beyond the comprehension of non-Saints.

Therefore, for the billions of living beings in the Primordial World, This was merely a lively spectacle.

Everyone speculated which Saint had taken another step forward.

Just as all living beings were murmuring and guessing, Such a commotion naturally alerted the other five Saints of the Primordial World.

In Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, Sect Master Tongtian also sensed the phenomenon of a Saint's breakthrough, and immediately returned from his divine wandering.

With a slight lift of his fingers, he performed a brief calculation, and understood the reason.

"So it was my elder brother, Primordial, who broke through."

Having found the source, Tongtian's face showed surprise.

He and Primordial Heavenly Lord were both at Saint Third Heaven.

Logically, their talents were similar, and their foundations were the same.

Yet, Primordial had broken through before him, which meant Primordial must have obtained some great opportunity.

Tongtian's curiosity was piqued. Saint cultivation was one step at a time, and even ten thousand years of seclusion might not yield progress. What kind of opportunity could allow a Saint to break through in one go?

"It seems I must make a trip to Kunlun Mountain."

An opportunity that could help a Saint break through must be extraordinary.

Tongtian naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

In Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain, Grand Pure One Laozi, who had always adhered to non-action and not interfering with the mortal world, was also alerted by Primordial Heavenly Lord's breakthrough at this moment.

Although Laozi rarely concerned himself with the affairs of the Primordial World, he had to pay attention to a great opportunity related to a Saint's breakthrough.

After ascertaining the reason, Laozi was equally astonished, and decided to go and inquire.

He summoned Xuandu, the Human Religion's head disciple, and instructed him:

"I am going to Kunlun Mountain. You will temporarily manage the dojo in my stead."

"I obey your command, Master."

At this time, it wasn't just the other two of the Three Pure Ones who were alerted by Primordial's breakthrough.

Nuwa in Wa Huang Heaven and the Two Sages of the West on Mount Sumeru were also shaken by Primordial Heavenly Lord's breakthrough.

However, these three Saints did not have much of a relationship with Primordial Heavenly Lord, so none of them personally went to Kunlun Mountain to visit. They merely observed the every move of the Three Pure Ones from afar, trying to find some trace of an opportunity related to breaking through to the Saint Realm.

Atop Kunlun Mountain, in Jade Void Palace.

The Three Pure Ones, who had been separated for many years, were gathered together again, a rare occasion.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and congratulations to Primordial Heavenly Lord on his breakthrough, Taishang Laozi spoke first:

"Junior Brother Primordial, did you encounter some great opportunity in this breakthrough of yours?"

Hearing Laozi's question, Sect Master Tongtian, who was standing nearby, also showed a look of concern, awaiting Primordial Heavenly Lord's answer.

Primordial Heavenly Lord glanced at his two junior brothers and replied with a smile, "Indeed, I obtained an opportunity."
