Chapter 47

He said with a face full of smiles, "It was all thanks to the Primordial Violet Qi and Merit bestowed by the Great Master!"

"Otherwise, I have no idea when I would have been able to attain Primordial Unity."

"From now on, I will serve the Heavenly Venerable to the best of my ability."

East King Duke and Randeng both revealed looks of disdain.

As expected of the feathered and scaled kind—their talent for fawning was even greater than theirs.

This fellow was truly a formidable opponent.

Netherworld Sea of Blood.

Ming He could no longer sit still. His eyes reddened with jealousy.

What had he just heard?

A hundred million merits, and Primordial Violet Qi!

Damn it!

Lu Changsheng actually possessed Primordial Violet Qi!

And he had casually gifted it to others. Judging by the looks of it, he had given away three strands?

How was that possible?

Hadn't the Dao Ancestor said back then that there were only seven strands in the Great Desolation World? Why could Lu Changsheng give away three?

Could it be that he still had even more Primordial Violet Qi?

All living beings were likewise shocked speechless, standing rigidly as if petrified.

Primordial Violet Qi?

There was actually still Primordial Violet Qi?!

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun could no longer remain calm. He could not understand why the other party possessed so much Primordial Violet Qi.

Where exactly had Saint Changsheng obtained all this Primordial Violet Qi?

Could it have been bestowed by the Heavenly Dao?

No. Even the Heavenly Dao could not possess so much Primordial Violet Qi!

Could it be... the work of the Great Dao?

Hongjun's chest heaved incessantly, his heart filled with shock.

No!

This was absolutely impossible!

He could not accept this!

He could not believe that Lu Changsheng actually possessed so much Primordial Violet Qi!

How could such a thing happen?

The Six Sages stood in the void, likewise dumbfounded.

Three strands of Primordial Violet Qi!

So the three Saints had all been created by Lu Changsheng using Primordial Violet Qi and more than a hundred million merits?

Such a grand gesture was truly astonishing!

What did it mean to be extravagant? This was what it meant to be extravagant!

Above the Immortal Mountain.

Lu Changsheng stood quietly atop the clouds, with Kunpeng, who had just attained Primordial Unity, East King Duke, and Randeng beside him.

The three stood at his sides like followers.

This sight left all living beings astonished.

Three Saints!

Wuji Heaven now actually had four Saints!

What a shocking sight!

It made them wish they could replace them, become the most loyal followers, and immediately attain Primordial Unity.

Kong Xuan witnessed this scene, and his heart suddenly became clear.

So arduous cultivation was not the only path. Following Saint Changsheng was the true Great Dao!

More than a hundred million merits and Primordial Violet Qi.

Looking across the Great Desolation, who could compare?

Who else could accomplish such a thing?

He recalled the contract he had signed earlier, and his heart filled with excitement.

Was there any opportunity greater than this?

He had also signed a contract and chosen to follow him. Did that mean he, too, had hope of attaining Primordial Unity?

Earlier, he had thought Saint Changsheng had merely made that promise to save the Phoenix Clan.

Now, it seemed that this was actually the greatest opportunity of his life.

He had successfully embraced the thickest thigh in the Great Desolation!

Yuan Qing gazed at everything before him, his heart surging.

A powerful patron!

This was absolutely the one and only support in the Great Desolation World!

Look at the three followers beside Kunpeng. They had all entered the Primordial Unity Saint Realm.

If the Phoenix Clan could rely on such a powerful existence, wouldn't that mean ascending to the heavens in a single step?

They absolutely could not miss this!

His thoughts raced, and the path ahead suddenly became clear.

He immediately spoke with a smile. "Saint Changsheng rescued our Phoenix Clan from peril. Our clan is willing to guard Wuji Heaven forever and serve as its Guardian Divine Phoenix."

"We humbly ask the Saint to grant the Phoenix Clan this opportunity."

His words were earnest, but unconcealable delight flickered in his eyes.

Climbing onto this towering branch was an opportunity that came once in a thousand years.

As the lord of the Phoenix Clan, he truly had a discerning eye!

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Wuji Heaven was vast and boundless, but it was indeed too desolate at present.

With the Phoenix Clan guarding it, it could gain a bit more vitality.

"Agreed."

When his clear voice fell, Yuanfeng and the clan members all erupted in barely restrained joy.

It was done!

They had finally embraced this towering divine tree!

This was simply a tremendous blessing bestowed upon the Phoenix Clan by the Heavenly Dao.

All living beings watching from afar felt as if they were in a dream.

Three Saints had appeared in a single day!

All thanks to Lu Changsheng, along with hundreds of millions of merits and Primordial Violet Qi.

Such methods could be called heaven-shaking.

Who could compare with building a path to sainthood with merits?

It was simply beyond reason!

Lu Changsheng had practically become an supreme existence capable of creating Saints.

Ordinary people could not even reach the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, yet he could create Primordial Unity Saints one after another.

Beyond the Nine Heavens, Primordial spoke in a deep voice. "Do you still remember what Lu Changsheng said in the past?"

Tongtian and the other Saints were all stunned.

Then their expressions changed dramatically.

How could they have forgotten? Lu Changsheng had once said he would nurture a hundred or eighty Saints to reopen the heavens and earth...

They had originally thought it was merely a joke, but after witnessing Kunpeng and the other two attaining enlightenment in a single day, all the Saints felt their scalps tingle.

Lu Changsheng had not been joking!

He truly intended to create an army of Saints!

His words were no empty boast!

Two hundred and forty.

If a hundred Saints truly joined forces to open the heavens and earth...

That scene, that exhilarating spectacle...

It was truly impossible to imagine!

"Let's go."

"There are three more Saints now."

Jieyin's voice was low. "We should go and offer our congratulations."

Three Saints had appeared in an instant.

In the Great Desolation, the Saints no longer belonged solely to their Profound Sect.

Tongtian, Primordial, and the other Saints nodded slightly.

Indeed.

Regardless, they would all be fellow Daoists in the future.

It was only right to go offer their congratulations.

Moreover, the power backing them was Lu Changsheng, this mighty patron. Perhaps one day, their cultivation and merits would surpass theirs.

At that thought, mixed feelings filled the hearts of the Six Sages.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoists, on attaining Primordial Unity."

Jieyin and Zhunti cupped their hands with smiles.

Tongtian and Laozi also offered their congratulations.

Primordial gazed at his former Vice Sect Leader, who had now become a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal, and his feelings were the most complicated.

Back then, when Randeng had joined the Chan Sect, Primordial had only reluctantly agreed out of consideration for their past ties.

Who could have imagined that today, Randeng would stand on equal footing with him?

It truly inspired endless emotion!

"Thank you, fellow Daoists!"

Randeng and the other two maintained humble attitudes as they cupped their hands in return.

Lu Changsheng looked toward Kunpeng and shook his head slightly.

It was not for any other reason.

He simply felt that Kunpeng was far too shabby. He was clearly already a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

Yet he did not have a single decent treasure on him.

It was truly a miserable sight.

With him following Lu Changsheng like this, anyone who did not know better would think Wuji Heaven was so poor that it could barely keep itself fed.

That would not do.

"Little Peng, your treasures are far too poor!"

"Come, take a look at these!"

Whoosh—

With a flip of his hand, Lu Changsheng took out more than ten Merit Supreme Treasures, each radiating dense golden light of merit.

The dozen or so treasures shone brilliantly, as if ten blazing suns had been clutched in his hand.

The Saints were almost dazzled to the point of being unable to open their eyes.

That was not all. Two more powerful auras surged forth as Lu Changsheng took out two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

One offensive and one defensive, both profoundly wondrous!

Vast spiritual resonance flowed across the two spiritual treasures, entwined with exquisite force of law...

Their radiance was dazzling.

"Since you've chosen to follow me and have become a Saint, how can you remain so shabby?"

"Take these and use them. When you're out and about, don't damage my reputation."

Lu Changsheng remained calm as he directly handed the dozen or so treasures to Kunpeng.

Kunpeng was so moved that tears welled in his eyes and streamed down his face.

Great Master!

He truly had not chosen the wrong person. The Great Master treated him far too well!

"Rest assured, Great Master. From now on, I will definitely protect Wuji Heaven well!"

"If the Great Master tells me to go east, I will never go west."

After saying that, he happily accepted the pile of treasures.

Looking at the Merit Supreme Treasures before him, excitement flickered in his eyes.

This one was good, and that one was pleasing to the eye too.

Heavens!

It was truly difficult to choose. Fortunately, he did not need to choose—every single one belonged to him.

The Six Sages stood to the side, exchanging bewildered looks, each wearing a dazed expression.

What was going on?

He had given away such a huge pile of treasures just like that?!

Was he kidding?!

This was more than ten Merit Supreme Treasures, and there were even two Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!

Yet he had casually given them all away.

It really was infuriating to compare oneself to others!

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you gave away all these treasures?"

Primordial asked, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

With so many treasures, shouldn't he have selected a few to give away, according to common sense?

How could he give away all of them?

Wasn't that simply too extravagant?

Lu Changsheng glanced at Primordial and said calmly, "They're merely some Merit Supreme Treasures."

"There's nothing special about them. I wanted to give them away, so I gave them all away."

"Besides, there are plenty piled up in the treasury. I have as many as I need, and keeping them is useless."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Six Sages were all stunned.

Merit Supreme Treasures!

As many as he needed?!

He was clearly flaunting his wealth in front of them!

No one had ever dared flaunt their wealth before Sages, but in the face of Lu Changsheng, they truly had nothing to say.

There was no helping it. They really weren't as wealthy as he was!

Even the Heavenly Dao couldn't compare. What did they, these Heavenly Dao Saints, amount to?

Kunpeng nodded repeatedly from the side.

He understood this all too well.

The treasury might not have much else, but Merit Supreme Treasures were piled up like mountains.

Seeing Kunpeng obtain so many treasures, East King Duke and Randeng also gazed eagerly at Lu Changsheng and pleaded, "Great Master!"

"We're poor too!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng waved his hand without hesitation.

Two dazzling balls of golden light appeared in his hands.

With a casual split, he gave each of them more than ten Merit Supreme Treasures.

East King Duke and Kunpeng were ecstatic, repeatedly saying, "Thank you, Great Master!"

Laozi and the other five Sages were all left dumbfounded.

It was truly astonishing!

Was this really a case of granting every request?

If not for their status as Sages, they almost wanted to ask: Senior, do you need attendants?

Even if they only served as decorations, they could probably still receive quite a few Merit Treasures!

Lu Changsheng looked at the three who had obtained the treasures and said with a smile, "Now that you have the treasures, go and open up the worlds."

Kunpeng and the other two loudly agreed. Opening up worlds was precisely what they had longed for.

They had just attained the Primordial Unity realm and urgently needed a large amount of merit to improve their cultivation.

Naturally, they did not refuse. They immediately set off.

Afterward, Lu Changsheng turned his gaze toward the Six Sages, who were momentarily at a loss.

A gentle smile appeared on his face.

Yet that smile made the Six Sages' hearts tighten.

Could he be urging them to open up worlds again?

No way?

Again?!

They had clearly only been cultivating in seclusion for a short while!

At the summit of the Immortal Volcano, in the void.

Lu Changsheng looked at the Six Sages and earnestly said, "The six of you should also diligently open up worlds."

"Otherwise, when will I ever finish giving away this merit?!"

Upon hearing this, the Six Sages nearly suffered internal injuries.

Just listen to what he was saying!

How could merit ever run out?!

They still needed to work hard opening up worlds to accumulate merit, while he was actually worrying that he would never be able to use all his merit.
