The Grand Master

"Immortal Venerable Changsheng, Ming He has come to pay his respects!"

Ming He circulated his mana and shouted loudly.

The sound spread throughout Wuji Heaven.

Lu Changsheng, who was contemplating his grand plan to get rich, heard the voice and was slightly surprised—Ancestor Ming He?

He was also an Innate Great Master in the Primordial World.

What did he want with him?

"Enter,"

Lu Changsheng said indifferently.

As soon as Ming He entered the hall, he appeared exceptionally enthusiastic.

Ming He bowed respectfully and said, "Ming He pays his respects to Saint Changsheng!"

"I have been in the Sea of Blood for a long time and have long heard of the Saint's great name!"

"Today, I am fortunate enough to meet you, and only now do I know that the Saint's demeanor is extraordinary, his spirit is heroic, and his bearing is magnificent. He is truly beyond the mortal world!"

A string of flattery poured out of Ming He's mouth.

Seeing that he was about to continue praising him, Lu Changsheng quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Hold!"

"Fellow Daoist, if you have anything important to say, please do so."

Lu Changsheng secretly shook his head. Such enthusiasm was truly unbearable.

Ancestor Ming He smiled upon hearing this and sincerely took Lu Changsheng's hand, saying, "Everything I just said came from the bottom of my heart!"

"I don't know why, but I felt moved the moment I saw the Saint."

"It must be the Saint's radiance that inspires reverence. This admiration is like the surging rivers and seas, impossible to contain."

"The Saint's great deeds in benefiting the Primordial World are truly moving!"

At this moment, Ming He could not hide his excitement, turning his heartfelt admiration into a torrent of praise.

Lu Changsheng felt uncomfortable. Although he had heard others flatter him before, this was the first time he had encountered such blatant praise.

He gently withdrew his hand and pondered: What is this person's motive for such sycophancy?

He couldn't have come all this way just to sing his praises, could he?

Although it sounded sincere, too much of a good thing was bad, and it made him uncomfortable instead.

"Fellow Daoist, since you have personally come to Wuji Heaven, please state your purpose directly."

Lu Changsheng reminded him gently.

He knew that if he didn't stop him, Ming He would probably go on and on with his flattery.

Such a scene was truly awkward.

Ming He knew when to stop and said seriously, "The Saint's grace extends far and wide across the Primordial World."

Although Ming He had gained considerable Merit, it was still not enough for him to achieve Primordial Unity.

"I am willing to join Wuji Heaven and serve the Saint. I earnestly request the Saint to grant me this opportunity!"

After speaking, he looked earnestly at Lu Changsheng, awaiting his response.

He truly could not bear it any longer.

In order to achieve Primordial Unity, he had tried countless times, all in vain.

When the Six Sages established their sects and became Sages back then, he immediately founded the Asura Sect, but only reached the peak of Quasi-Saint. Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal remained as elusive as ever.

He had always strived forward but had never managed to step through the gate of Primordial Unity.

Looking at Kunpeng, East King Duke, and Randeng, their cultivation in the past was not as good as his. However, since following Lu Changsheng, they had broken through one after another, achieving Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

And he himself was still at the peak of Quasi-Saint.

He was no longer willing to wait idly.

If he could join Wuji Heaven, and Lu Changsheng casually bestowed upon him a hundred million Merit and a strand of Primordial Violet Qi, he, Ming He, could become a Saint on the spot.

It would be so easy, why would he need to struggle so hard?

At this moment, Ming He had only one thought in his heart: Immortal Venerable Changsheng, I don't want to try anymore.

Lu Changsheng had already anticipated this before Ming He even spoke.

The most attractive thing about Wuji Heaven was, after all, achieving Sainthood.

He was just about to implement the pioneering plan. If Ming He were to become a Saint, it might not be a bad thing, and it could also help him consume more Merit.

Ming He's origins and aptitude were not a problem; he was a Innate Great Master like East King Duke and the others.

As for sincerity, he had waited until now. He should know how difficult it was to achieve Primordial Unity, and he would have no ulterior motives.

Just as Lu Changsheng was pondering, billions of violet rays descended from the sky within Wuji Heaven, and a spatial passage opened directly from the East Sea.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Changsheng, Tongtian has come to visit!"

The immense sacred might swept across Wuji Heaven, and Tongtian's figure suddenly appeared, standing with a smile.

Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised, not knowing why Tongtian had come this time.

Wuji Heaven.

East King Duke, Kunpeng, and Randeng entered the hall.

At a glance, they saw Ming He standing beside Lu Changsheng, his face full of fawning. His smile was truly exemplary.

The three of them were stunned.

This scene... it felt like they had seen it somewhere before.

Tsk.

Wasn't this scene before them just a copy of their own?

No—this Ming He fellow was clearly even more shameless than them!

No way!

This guy probably wanted to push them out of their position as the "Three Swordsmen of Wuji Heaven," didn't he? Not a chance!

"Great Master, Fellow Daoist Tongtian has come to visit," Randeng said, stepping forward first with a smile to report.

East King Duke and Kunpeng quickly followed, afraid of missing an opportunity to show off.

Lu Changsheng's expression was a little strange. Was it really necessary for three people to deliver such a simple message?

If you have so much free time, why don't you go create a few more worlds?

However, he was also a bit curious about why Tongtian had come to Wuji Heaven.

Ming He looked at the three of them, his eyes filled with unconcealed envy.

Saints...

These three had become Saints just by knowing how to flatter others.

Yet he, despite his diligent cultivation, hadn't even touched the threshold of Primordial Unity. It truly made one's eyes turn red!

The three of East King Duke had originally been paying attention to Ming He. Seeing his envy, they all straightened their backs, feeling immensely proud.

Not long ago, they were all Quasi-Saints, calling each other brothers.

Now, they were Primordial Unity Saints, and Ming He had to respectfully call them seniors.

Just thinking about it made them feel good!

"Please invite Fellow Daoist Tongtian in," Lu Changsheng said.

East King Duke quickly responded, "Yes! I'll go invite him right away!"

With a flash, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Randeng and Kunpeng's expressions changed drastically. They were so focused on watching Ming He that this guy had beaten them to it!

What a miscalculation!

A short while later, Tongtian walked in.

He looked at the three of them with many emotions.

Back then, they were merely Quasi-Saints.

Now, each of them had achieved Primordial Unity and attained Saint positions, just like him.

And they had managed to pile their way up with a hundred million Merit and Primordial Violet Qi, which truly left one speechless.

"Why is Ming He also here?" Tongtian's gaze shifted, and upon seeing Ming He, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But he quickly understood.

In Wuji Heaven, three Saints had been born in succession within a single day.

Ming He's appearance here undoubtedly meant he wanted to join Wuji Heaven.

Judging by the situation, he was only one step away from success. Otherwise, his face wouldn't be beaming with such a pleased smile.

"Congratulations to Wuji Heaven for gaining three more Saints!"

"Achieving three Saints in one day, looking across the Primordial World, only Wuji Heaven can accomplish this."

Tongtian's tone was sincere, filled with genuine emotion.

It was truly enviable.

He dared not envy it, however.

Three Saints meant three hundred million Merit, and three strands of Primordial Violet Qi!

If such a vast amount of Merit truly existed, he, Tongtian, would never bear to use it all to create Saints.

Only Lu Changsheng, the greatest "prodigal son" in the Primordial World, would be willing to squander Merit like this, pushing out three Saints in one go!

Lu Changsheng looked at Tongtian and casually asked, "What, does your Intercepting Sect also want another Saint?"

Tongtian was stunned on the spot.

The question was asked so lightly--

as if they were discussing an ordinary matter, not Saints?

Wait, that wasn't the main point.

Joy immediately surged in his eyes, "Can it really be? My Intercepting Sect... can also have a Saint?"

This was simply a blessing from heaven!

Was Lu Changsheng truly going to help the Intercepting Sect create a Saint?

If that were the case, wouldn't the Intercepting Sect ascend to heaven in a single step?

Lu Changsheng pointed to Ming He beside him and said, "Look, he is the one about to become a Saint."

Ming He, who was pointed at, had a face full of smiles and immediately declared, "Great Master, rest assured, I, Ming He, will serve you with all my might and loyalty until my dying breath! My admiration for you, Great Master, is like a surging river, endless!"

Tongtian watched, dumbfounded.

Was this still the Ming He he remembered?

To become a Saint, he could be this humble...

It was truly lamentable.

Lu Changsheng looked at Ming He, feeling a headache coming on.

Here we go again, it's starting again.

He had to stop him quickly.

He flipped his palm, and a mysterious Primordial Violet Qi appeared in his palm.

"Take it."

Tongtian's eyes widened.

He was just throwing Primordial Violet Qi at people like this?

This guy... was truly an unadulterated "nouveau riche"!

His heart was about to explode!

That was Primordial Violet Qi, a supreme treasure capable of making a Saint!

Ming He was equally shocked.

Immediately, a deep sense of emotion welled up in his heart.

See!

He had said it long ago--

Indeed, following was the wisest choice!

Look, hadn't the Primordial Violet Qi come into his hands?

The opportunity for him to prove his Dao and become a Saint had finally arrived!

Since Lu Changsheng had bestowed the Primordial Violet Qi, he had truly recognized Ming He.

Without hesitation, the Heavenly Dao Scepter appeared in his hand, its body entwined with the power of the Heavenly Dao, mysterious and unfathomable.

Whoosh!

With a flick of the scepter in the air, a contract materialized out of thin air.

It was a contract condensed by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Tongtian's eyes twitched slightly from the side.

Lu Changsheng was definitely the first person to use the Heavenly Dao Scepter like this!

That was a sacred artifact that wielded the supreme authority of the Heavenly Dao!

And the result? He actually used it as a contractual tool. If the Heavenly Dao knew, who knows what it would think.

In any case, Tongtian's mood was very complicated.

However, this also had its benefits--a contract established with the Heavenly Dao Scepter could not be violated, even by a Saint.

"Sign it, and I will help you become a Saint."

"But the conditions are all written above, read them carefully."

After Lu Changsheng finished speaking, he pushed the contract in front of Ming He.

Ming He's hands trembled slightly. This was not just a contract, but the opportunity for sainthood he had dreamed of!

Recalling the long years of arduous cultivation in the past, the position of Saint was now within reach.

He was almost in tears—finally, I can become a Saint too!

Without hesitation, he signed his name.

His face was filled with irrepressible joy.

Becoming a Saint!

He was finally going to take that step!

One strand of Primordial Violet Qi, plus one hundred million Merit, and if I still can't prove my Dao and become a Saint, I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill myself.

Tongtian watched with a dumbfounded expression.

"This is your plan to create Saints?"

Are you planning to use so many resources for every Saint?

This is madness!

This is absolutely madness!

Even if you are the biggest spendthrift in the Primordial World, you can't afford to waste like this!

...But if this person is Lu Changsheng, perhaps he can truly afford it.

Lu Changsheng replied matter-of-factly, "That's right!"

"There's nothing I can do, your speed is just too slow!"

"After a thousand years of opening up worlds, how much Merit have you used!"

Tongtian was momentarily speechless, utterly exasperated.

His heart was filled with complaints.

Heavens!

What kind of reason is this!

Is this why he creates Saints?

Just because the Six Sages' actions are too slow, and the consumption of Merit is too gradual?

So he simply spends more Merit to forcefully create a few more Saints!

This reason is too bizarre!
