Grand Pure One Laozi's Merit

The Witch Clan, far from stopping, went even more madly into creating worlds.

This made the two Demon Emperors uneasy.

What was the Witch Clan's intention?

Clearly, they wanted to take advantage of the Demon Clan's rest to desperately create more worlds!

Good heavens, who would have thought you Witch Clan, seemingly rough and unrefined, would play such a trick.

How could the two Demon Emperors tolerate this?

The Demon Clan and the Witch Clan were, fundamentally, in the same race.

To win first place, one had to crush the other!

Thus, the two Demon Emperors raised their arms and gave a command—

No more rest! Go all out!

"All demons, charge for me!!"

"We absolutely cannot fall behind, nor can we lose to those brute fools of the Witch Clan!"

Instantly, countless demons also gave their all, working tirelessly to create worlds.

The two clans chased each other, one day creating a world, the next, the other would surely follow, creating another!

Merit's golden light fell upon the Witch Clan today, and tomorrow it would descend upon the Demon Clan, leaving the beings of the Primordial World dumbfounded.

Good heavens, these two overlords are actually competing so fiercely?

Seeing that it was difficult to widen the gap, the Witch Clan also grew anxious!

They wanted to win first place!

Even more, they wanted to defeat the Demon Clan!

"We can lose to anyone, but we absolutely cannot lose to that clan of two mangy birds, the Demon Clan!"

"Brothers and sisters, the time has come, form the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Formation!"

Following Dijiang's command, the Twelve Ancestor Witches rose together!

RUMBLE!!

In an instant, a vast pressure swept across the Primordial World, billions of beings were alarmed, and all turned their shocked gazes.

Immediately, a colossal giant, standing tall between heaven and earth, appeared!

The Twelve Ancestor Witches joined forces to set up the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Formation, summoning Pangu's phantom.

Then they madly began creating worlds!

Pangu's phantom swung its giant axe, and with a single downward chop, a Middle Thousand World appeared.

A continuous stream of axe shadows.

Countless Middle Thousand Worlds were born one after another.

Di Jun, upon seeing this, was stunned at first, then flew into a rage.

"Damn it, you Witch Clan are really going all out?"

To use the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Formation to summon Pangu's phantom, just for creation!

Is your Witch Clan's way of thinking really this unique!

Di Jun also became fierce.

"All demons, heed my command, activate the Zhou Tian Star Formation!"

As the order was given, the Demon Court responded.

The Three Hundred and Sixty True Gods, along with Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Demon Emperor Dijun, and Fuxi, and other powerful beings, each guarded a formation eye.

Instantly, a mighty power erupted above the Thirty-Three Heavens, shaking the Primordial World.

All beings in the Primordial World looked up, only to see the countless stars being connected by the Demon Clan.

The starlight was brilliant, and the power surged.

Following this, the Demon Clan, wielding such power, also began its frantic creation!

For a time, the two clans were locked in an intense tug-of-war.

Witch and Demon, endlessly competing.

This scene left countless beings in the Primordial World dumbfounded.

Please, stop competing!

Are you going to give others any chance to live or not?

However, the matter did not end there.

Seeing the Demon Clan chasing them again, the Witch Clan became ruthless.

All spirit fruits and elixirs, the treasures of the Witch Clan, were brought out.

No matter how precious the spirit fruit, they swallowed it whole.

Their strength surged.

Pangu's phantom solidified a bit more.

The speed of creation accelerated!

It was clear they intended to keep escalating!

On the Demon Clan's side, Di Jun furiously opened the treasury and took out all treasures that could temporarily boost their cultivation.

Come on!

Who's afraid of whom!

If your Witch Clan wants to escalate, my Demon Clan will accompany you to the end!

With both clans escalating like this, let alone the myriad beings of the Primordial World, even the Saints were moved.

"Fortunately, they can't open up a Great Thousand World yet."

In the Eight Views Palace, Taiqing murmured thankfully as he looked at the commotion stirred up by the Witch and Demon clans.

According to the way these two clans competed, if they could truly open up a Great Thousand World, then the leisurely days of the Saints would likely truly come to an end.

Most of the other Saints also secretly rejoiced.

In Biyou Palace, Sect Master Tongtian observed the fierce competition between the two clans, lost in thought.

Not long after, a dazzling immortal light suddenly erupted from Jin'ao Island.

This anomaly immediately attracted the attention of the other Saints.

Following that, all the Saints saw Tongtian gather all the disciples of the Intercepting Sect and deploy the Myriad Immortals Formation.

With the power of the entire sect, they would open up a Great Thousand World!

On that day, the East Sea surged with waves, and the might of a Saint shook the heavens and earth.

Seeing this scene, Primordial Heavenly Lord was completely stunned.

"Tongtian! That's enough! Do even Saints have to fight this hard?"

Primordial, Nuwa, Taiqing, and other Saints were momentarily stunned as they witnessed the immortal light soaring from Jin'ao Island.

No one had expected the Intercepting Sect to suddenly make such a move.

They had just rejoiced that the Witch and Demon clans were incapable of opening up a Great Thousand World and thus could not affect them, but then Tongtian turned around and delivered an unexpected blow.

He led the disciples of the Intercepting Sect to activate the Myriad Immortals Formation to open up a Great Thousand World.

Was he trying to ignite competition among the Saints?

Taiqing, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti were all stunned.

Primordial, in particular, expressed strong dissatisfaction on the spot.

"Tongtian, know when to stop. It's one thing for others to escalate, but must Saints join in the escalation?"

Since Tongtian had already acted, he was naturally prepared and explained to the Saints:

"There's no other way. My Intercepting Sect has many disciples, and I need to support my followers. It's better if we all work together and contribute to earning more Merit!"

These words made the other Saints' eyelids twitch.

Everyone understood that Tongtian was determined to use the Myriad Immortals Formation to speed up the opening of a Great Thousand World.

At this point, the other Saints could do nothing.

After all, what others did was their freedom.

Now, they had only two paths: either maintain the status quo, or like Tongtian, throw themselves into this fierce competition.

Meanwhile, even the disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect heard about the Intercepting Sect's movements.

Upon learning that the disciples of the Intercepting Sect had deployed the Myriad Immortals Formation to open up a Great Thousand World, many felt a pang of envy.

"A bunch of beasts with fur and horns, just lucky!"

"Even if they gain Merit, so what? Can they achieve enlightenment?"

Some discussed enviously.

Others were even more sharp-tongued, like Grand Unity True Person among the Twelve Golden Immortals, who said coldly.

"A bunch of creatures born from dampness and hatching from eggs actually dare to seek the Dao, it's simply laughable! You will only tarnish the reputation of my Xuanmen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Intercepting Sect's side was instantly filled with righteous indignation.

"The people from the Heavenly Origin Sect are truly going too far!"

Among the disciples of the Intercepting Sect, three young women with powerful auras spoke with dissatisfaction.

They were the elite outer disciples of the Intercepting Sect—the Three Xiao Sisters.

"What's so great about disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect? Why do they look down on our origins?"

In truth, there had always been friction between the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect.

The root of this could be traced back to the disagreement in philosophies when the two Saints founded their sects.

Initially, this difference was not obvious.

But as time passed, the philosophies of the two Saints gradually influenced their disciples.

The friction between the disciples also gradually escalated.

Ultimately, it led to the Three Pure Ones having to split the sects.

After the split, the conflict between the two sects outwardly seemed to have eased.

But in reality, it had always been lurking, never resolved, and instead grew more intense.

The animosity between the disciples of the two sects deepened.

At this moment, this animosity finally erupted completely.

Seeing the disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect flexing their muscles, seemingly about to fight, Sect Master Tongtian quickly intervened, restraining his agitated disciples.

"Don't fight. Opening up worlds is the priority right now. Let go of other grievances for the time being."

Hearing this, although the disciples of the Intercepting Sect were indignant, they also knew what was important and urgent.

Moreover, after opening up worlds, gaining Merit, and improving their strength, it wouldn't be too late to teach those Heavenly Origin Sect members a lesson.

Thus, they responded in unison: "Yes, Master."

Primordial Heavenly Lord also restrained his disciples.

He had also come to a realization.

The Intercepting Sect was already going all out, so he couldn't act as carelessly as before.

The Heavenly Origin Sect also had to change.

After all, his disciples were all elites; how could they lose to those "demons and monsters" under Tongtian?

However, Primordial soon sighed.

Helplessly, his manpower was truly not as numerous as the Intercepting Sect's...

On Shouyang Mountain, in the Eight Views Palace.

Grand Pure One Laozi gazed at his two disciples—Xuandu and Du'e—his eyes profound.

The two disciples exchanged glances and helplessly spread their hands.

"Master, please don't count on us. We truly cannot do it."

Inside Wa Huang Palace.

Nuwa looked at her mount, Jin Ning, and her Daoist boy, Lingzhuzi, falling into silence for a moment.

Finally, she could only sigh softly.

Forget it, I'll just have to work hard in silence myself.

In the Western Lands.

The Saints Jieyin and Zhunti quickly gathered all the disciples of the Western Teachings, and even all the beings in the west, attempting to use the full power of the west to seize the initiative in this competition.

Thus, an internal competition sweeping across the Primordial World began—from the aloof Saints to all living beings in the world, none were spared.

Under the frenzied internal competition, the Primordial World changed almost daily.

Every moment, new worlds were opened up.

The void was filled with Great Thousand Worlds, Middle Thousand Worlds, and Minor Worlds, layered upon each other like stars.

Golden light of Merit rained down, cluster after cluster, scattering across the Primordial World.

All beings were working with great fervor, immersed in the great undertaking of creation.

In Wuji Heaven, Lu Changsheng looked at the scene outside, almost beaming with joy.

Seeing the constant descent of heavenly Merit, each portion representing a reduction in his own Merit—thinking of this, he felt an inexpressible joy.

This plan had indeed worked, and he couldn't help but feel proud: I really am a genius. It seems defeating all that quadrillion Merit is already within reach.

For a time, Lu Changsheng's chest swelled with heroic passion.

Just then, Ancestor Shenmu entered the hall and knelt respectfully to report:

"Saint Changsheng, there is a being from the Primordial World seeking an audience outside, claiming his name is Kong Xuan."

"Does the Saint wish to see him?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng's expression shifted slightly.

He naturally knew of Kong Xuan's name—in the Investiture of the Gods war, he was known as the foremost figure below the Saints, his Five-Colored Divine Light invincible.

As Yuan Feng's son, his bloodline was noble and his talent extraordinary.

Why had he come? Lu Changsheng felt a bit curious but not intimidated. After a moment's thought, he ordered Ancestor Shenmu to lead him in.

Not long after, a man wearing a five-colored Daoist robe and possessing a handsome appearance strode into the hall and knelt to pay his respects:

"Kong Xuan pays respects to Saint Changsheng! The Saint's character is noble and his heart embraces all living beings; Kong Xuan is deeply impressed."

These praises pleased Lu Changsheng, but he quickly composed himself and carefully observed Kong Xuan.

At this moment, Kong Xuan's cultivation was only at the early-stage Quasi-Saint, which seemed inconsistent with his legendary achievements in later generations.

However, Lu Changsheng knew that it was still early, and by the time of the Investiture of the Gods, he might have already reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm.

After a brief pause, Lu Changsheng asked directly:

"You have come to see me, for what purpose?"

Kong Xuan looked up and saw that Lu Changsheng had no airs of a Saint. A flicker of hope arose in his heart, and he spoke:

"To be frank, Saint Changsheng, Kong Xuan has come seeking your assistance!"

Lu Changsheng smiled and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."

Kong Xuan immediately explained, "The Saint should know that I am Yuan Feng's only son.

This journey is to request the Saint's help in freeing my Phoenix Clan from their predicament!"
