Grand Pure One Laozi

"Please name it yourself, Fellow Daoist."

Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment:

"My cave dwelling is named Wuji Peak, and this world shall be called 'Wuji Heaven'."

With that, he merged into the Origin Pearl, and inscribed "Wuji Heaven" with Great Dao runes.

As the inscription was completed, this Great Thousand World fell under Lu Changsheng's control.

The mighty figures of the Primordial World, upon witnessing this, were all astonished.

Within Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, Sect Master Tongtian's expression was surprised:

"Did Brother Yuanshi create this Great Thousand World for this Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"

Although it wasn't an earth-shattering feat for a Saint to create a Great Thousand World, it was still a form of world creation.

In the past, Pangu's creation of the heavens cost him his life.

Even a Heavenly Dao Saint, who only created Great Thousand Worlds, found it no easy task, with immense consumption.

The depletion of Saint Origin alone was enough to make most Saints unwilling to easily create Great Thousand Worlds, let alone act for other cultivators.

Yet Yuanshi Tianzun had done so, leaving Tongtian utterly perplexed.

He probed Lu Changsheng with his divine sense, detecting his immense fortune and the faint appearance of a Golden Wheel of Merit.

He immediately recalled the being blessed by the Heavenly Dao in the Demon Race Heavenly Court some time ago, and suddenly understood:

"Could this cultivator be that being?

To make Yuanshi expend his Saint Origin to create a world for him, what is this person's origin?"

In Wa Huang Heaven, Nuwa also witnessed Lu Changsheng controlling the origin of the Great Thousand World, deepening her doubts about his identity:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng can actually enlist a Saint's help; what is his background?"

Within Shouyang Mountain, Grand Pure One Laozi also felt a flicker of curiosity towards Lu Changsheng.

He knew his second brother, Yuanshi Tianzun, well.

To make him create a Great Thousand World, Lu Changsheng must have an extraordinary background.

Grand Pure One Laozi murmured:

"I will find an opportunity later to ask my second brother."

After murmuring, Grand Pure One Laozi once again wandered through the myriad worlds, comprehending the supreme Great Dao.

He had always advocated for non-interference and did not pay much attention to the affairs of the Primordial World.

Meanwhile, within the Western Mount Sumeru, in the dojo of Jieyin and Zhunti.

Zhunti asked doubtfully, "Strange, why would Fellow Daoist Yuanshi create a Great Thousand World for a mere Grand Unity Golden Immortal? What is the origin of this Lu Changsheng?"

Although the Two Sages of the West were among the Six Sages of the Primordial World, they were the weakest, only reaching Saint Second Heaven.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian were both at Third Heaven, Nuwa was at Fourth Heaven, and Grand Pure One Laozi stood at the head of the Six Sages.

Precisely because they were the weakest, the Two Sages of the West were unwilling to miss any opportunity in the Primordial World.

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun create a Great Thousand World for Lu Changsheng, the two Sages could not help but pay special attention to Lu Changsheng.

Jieyin calculated with his fingers, frowning, "This child's fortune is profound, with a Golden Wheel of Merit faintly appearing behind him; his origin is extraordinary."

Zhunti observed intently and suddenly recalled something: "Senior Brother, do you remember the being blessed by the Heavenly Dao in the Demon Court some time ago?"

Jieyin's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Such a person of fortune, we should recruit them to our West!"

Zhunti immediately agreed, "The Western religion is in need of a deputy leader, and this person is most suitable."

Just as the Two Sages of the West were about to recruit Lu Changsheng, other great powers of the Primordial World also cast surprised glances.

To have a Saint open up a Great Thousand World for them, this person's background must be extraordinary.

Queen Mother of the West withdrew her divine sense and sighed, "It seems the Primordial World has gained another existence that cannot be provoked."

However, she wasn't too concerned about this, as she had always been indifferent to the disputes of the Primordial World.

She only wished to stay away from the mortal world and live out her reclusive years peacefully.

Yet, East King Duke, regarded as the foremost among male immortals, was not as detached.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng could actually invite a Saint to act, East King Duke immediately remembered his appearance.

A flicker of ambition flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "To gain the favor of a Saint, if such a person were to come to my Purple Mansion Prefecture, they would surely help me rule the Primordial World."

At the same moment, Dijiang of the Witch Clan and Di Jun of the Demon Clan, like East King Duke, also had the idea of recruiting Lu Changsheng to strengthen their influence.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng, completely unaware that he had left a mark in the hearts of many great powers of the Primordial World, was slowly patrolling within Wuji Heaven.

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, what do you think?"

Primordial Heavenly Lord walked alongside him, appearing calm, but in reality, he was waiting for Lu Changsheng to settle the ten million Merit.

For the sake of his Saintly dignity, he forced himself to remain calm, not showing any eagerness.

Even though in his eyes, Lu Changsheng was like a walking cloud of Merit.

"It's very good. I am quite satisfied with this Wuji Heaven."

Lu Changsheng swept his divine sense across it and nodded slightly.

Then, he casually plucked a golden cloud, which was precisely the ten million Merit, and offered it to Primordial Heavenly Lord, "This is your reward, Fellow Daoist. Please accept it."

As the Golden Cloud of Merit appeared, Primordial Heavenly Lord's breathing quickened slightly.

With this Merit's enhancement, his cultivation would surely advance.

He no longer cared about his Saintly demeanor and quickly accepted the golden cloud, bidding farewell in a hurry:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, if you have such an opportunity again in the future, be sure to find me.

The amount of Merit is not important; it's mainly about our compatibility."

Before his words even fell, Primordial Heavenly Lord had already broken through the void and returned directly to Jade Void Palace to refine the Merit.

Seeing his hurried departing figure, Lu Changsheng let out a soft scoff, "Mere ten million Merit, and he loses composure to this extent. The vision of a Saint is nothing more than this."

Kunpeng, standing beside him, heard his words and remained silent.

After all, that was ten million Merit that even Saints coveted.

Forty-seven

Great Master truly has extraordinary bearing.

He was completely unconcerned about this.

Thinking of this, Kunpeng couldn't help but recall the fifty million Merit he would receive in the future.

His heart surged with excitement.

"If I had this much Merit, perhaps I, Kunpeng, could also achieve the Saintly Dao fruit!"

It should be known that Kunpeng had not lacked opportunities to become a Saint in the past.

It was because the good-natured Hongyun gave up his seat, causing Jieyin and Zhunti to seize his position.

This was how he missed the chance to become a Saint.

Now, following Lu Changsheng, Kunpeng's hope rekindled.

Lu Changsheng did not notice Kunpeng's thoughts.

After creating Wuji Heaven, he began to ponder new plans for consuming Merit.

Before he could think further, a Saint's aura enveloped Wuji Peak.

Instantly, purple energy surged for thirty thousand miles, auspicious clouds rolled, and radiant light paved the way.

Auspicious colors entwined the nine heavens, and Great Dao Divine Runes appeared and disappeared.

The vast Saintly might covered the ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers of Wuji Peak.

Even though the Saint had not yet arrived, the supreme pressure that commanded the universe had already permeated heaven and earth.

Under the gaze of Lu Changsheng and Kunpeng, the Three Thousand Laws intertwined above Wuji Peak, forming a golden rainbow bridge.

Jieyin and Zhunti walked slowly from the golden bridge of laws, crossing endless space and time, and descended upon Wuji Peak.

"Jieyin (Zhunti) of Mount Sumeru, specially come to visit Fellow Daoist Changsheng!"

Even though the names of the Two Sages of the West were not announced, Lu Changsheng recognized them.

Among the Six Sages of the Primordial World, only this pair of martial siblings always appeared with shaved heads.

"Greetings to both Sages!"

Kunpeng calmed his mind and hurriedly bowed in greeting.

Although the Two Sages of the West had once stolen his position as a Saint, a Saint and an ordinary person were on different paths.

Even with ten thousand regrets, he could only treat them with courtesy.

The lowest-ranking Saint was still a Saint after all.

Below the Saint Realm, all were like ants.

Lu Changsheng, however, did not bow.

Although his cultivation was not as high as a Saint's, he possessed hundreds of trillions of Merit.

Even a Saint would not dare to make a move against him lightly.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng merely nodded slightly:

"May I ask why the two Fellow Daoists have come?"

The Two Sages of the West did not feel displeased that Lu Changsheng addressed them as equals.

After all, Lu Changsheng was protected by the Heavenly Dao. As Heavenly Dao Saints, they naturally would not defy Heaven's will.

Jieyin spoke first with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, I have long heard of your exceptional talent and extraordinary origins.

We have come today hoping that you would grace our Mount Sumeru and serve as the Deputy Sect Master of the Western Sect."

Zhunti also added with a smile:

"As long as you are willing to come, we will also bestow upon you other treasures."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng merely let out a disdainful laugh. Looking at these two famously impoverished Saints, he said calmly:

"I'm afraid you cannot afford me."

In terms of Magic Treasures, Lu Changsheng was not lacking.

He wielded the ultimate killing treasure, the "God-Slaying Spear," which was already a top-tier weapon in the Primordial World. Furthermore, he possessed a Companion Spiritual Treasure, the "Tai Xu Creation Banner," which, after being tempered by Merit, was already comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure.

These two items alone were enough to make Jieyin and Zhunti feel envious.

Hearing Lu Changsheng's response, Jieyin and Zhunti both frowned.

Since they had become Saints, no one below the Saint Realm had ever dared to speak to them like this.

However, considering that Lu Changsheng was protected by the Heavenly Dao, they could only suppress their displeasure and still spoke with smiles:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, why don't you examine the treasures first before making a decision?"

As Jieyin spoke, he took out a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and introduced it:

"This is the 'Primordial Golden Bamboo Staff.' It is primarily for defense and can summon Vajra protection. It is truly a rare Innate Spiritual Treasure."

After the introduction, both of them wore expressions of determination.

This Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure was already considered superior among the Magic Treasures they possessed. To invite a Grand Unity Golden Immortal to be a Deputy Sect Master with it was already a great show of sincerity. If not for Lu Changsheng's profound fortune, they would not have been willing to offer such a generous gift.

However, Lu Changsheng found it laughable.

He was not lacking in Magic Treasures, let alone just a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?

To think that such a meager offering could invite him? They were underestimating him too much.

However, on second thought, those two Saints from the West were indeed financially strapped.

To be able to produce a spiritual treasure of this quality was already not easy.

Lu Changsheng suddenly had an interesting idea.

Since they wanted to use these few Magic Treasures to invite him to be their Deputy Sect Master, why not do the opposite? He would offer Merit and buy their Magic Treasures.

With this thought, Lu Changsheng's face broke into a smile, and he said:

"Two Fellow Daoists, instead of using this Magic Treasure to invite me to join your sect, why don't you name a price and sell it to me?"

The Two Sages of the West, who were initially full of confidence, were stunned upon hearing this.

They had come to recruit a Deputy Sect Master, not to sell Magic Treasures.

Besides, why would a dignified Saint sell hard-earned spiritual treasures?

Even if they were to sell, how many people could afford them?

Zhunti was the first to recover, his tone tinged with annoyance:

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, please don't joke. We are sincerely inviting you, and we hope you won't disappoint this kind gesture."

As he spoke, the might of a Saint subtly emanated, almost crushing Kunpeng, who stood nearby.

Kunpeng cried out inwardly: The Great Master caused this trouble, so why am I the one suffering?

Lu Changsheng, however, was unfazed.

He was protected by the Heavenly Dao and possessed hundreds of trillions of Merit.

How could he fear such a small display of Saintly might?

He continued to smile and said:

"Fellow Daoist, you sincerely invite me, and I sincerely wish to buy. There's no conflict, is there?"

Jieyin's face also darkened. He put away the Innate Spiritual Treasure and snorted coldly:

"Sincerely wish to buy? What do you take us Saints for?

Are we the kind of people who disregard their dignity--"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Changsheng casually produced a ball of Golden Cloud of Merit.

No more, no less, exactly five hundred thousand Merit.

He didn't dare to give too much at once, fearing System restrictions, and decided to probe first:

"Don't be so quick to put it away. I see that your Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure has good potential."
