Acquired Merchant Dao

As soon as Guizhenzi finished speaking, several Zhenyi's eyes flickered.

The old man on the high platform rested his hands on the stone table, his upper body leaning slightly forward, creating a very imposing presence.

He coldly surveyed his surroundings:

"We owe our present state entirely to the kindness of the Dao Lord."

"And some of you not only fail to dedicate yourselves to your duties to repay the kindness of the Dao Lord."

Instead, they formed cliques and pursued personal gain, solely for their own selfish interests.

"Jin Yuanzi, Mangcang..."

Guizhenzi called out Zhenyi's name ten times in a row.

"You've done quite a few despicable things in the Water Palace over the years."

The old man's hair and beard bristled, his eyes flashed like lightning, and he suddenly shouted:

"Guards, quickly capture these insects!"

"Cut off their heads and display them throughout the Huai River."

"To rectify the atmosphere of our Water Palace."

Guizhenzi has been in charge of the Water Palace for many years and naturally possesses considerable power and influence.

"We obey the imperial Imperial Decree."

Twelve resounding sounds, like the clash of metal, echoed in response.

The twelve commanders of the Black Water Guard, including the Rat Ancestor Zishu, held golden halberds and wore rhinoceros armor.

He leaped up from the crowd.

They charged straight towards the locations of the ten True Ones that Guizhenzi had specifically named.

"Who dares to kill me?"

"Laozi am a subject of the Water Lord."

"Laozi shed blood for the Water Palace."

Mangcang's expression suddenly changed. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a pair of blood-red bronze hammers appeared.

The tall, imposing man had a resolute and ruthless gaze.

They completely ignored the Black Water Guards attacking from all sides.

Guizhenzi straight at Guizhenzi, who was seated in the main seat.

'This old man has been in charge of the Water Palace for many years, and his prestige is extremely high.'

'If we kill him, the Water Palace will definitely be thrown into chaos.'

'When the time comes, I'll just rob the Laozi and surrender to the dragon's retainers.'

Mangcang moved with incredible speed, tearing through the Grand Void and arriving before Guizhenzi in the blink of an eye.

"You old thief."

"How dare you use the Dao Lord's name to eliminate dissidents?"

"Do you intend to turn the Huai River Water Palace into the water palace of the Rugui clan?"

"Go to hell!"

The red copper hammer burst into flames, like a meteor shower, and with a resolute determination to burn everything, it crashed down towards the old man in black robes and white hair.

"Mangcang, how dare you?"

"You wretched creature, how dare you do this?"

"Be careful, Ancestor."

The situation is changing too fast.

No one expected that Mangcang would be so audacious, resorting to desperate measures to kill Guizhenzi outright.

Guizhenzi is just a civil official, and his Divine Path Methods are not apparent. It's possible that he might actually succeed.

When the Water Palace descends into chaos and the Dao Lord punishes them, who can withstand the consequences?

The people in the Water Palace suddenly changed their expressions.

Jin Yuanzi and the others were overjoyed.

'It's done.'

Guizhenzi took in everyone's expressions and sneered inwardly.

We haven't wronged a single innocent person.

He stared calmly at the bronze hammer hurtling towards him.

If he were at the True One Realm, he naturally wouldn't have been able to dodge this attack.

Even if they don't die, they will be severely injured.

Pity...

The old man didn't make any move.

Suddenly, a dark green tortoise shell appeared in the void.

The tortoise shell swelled in the wind, instantly becoming the size of a small mountain.

"Go!"

Guizhenzi waved his sleeve.

The tortoise shell suddenly crashed into the fiery red copper hammer.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd.

The bronze hammer, burning with spiritual fire and scorching the void, shattered into countless scrap iron fragments the moment it touched the tortoise shell.

"Ah..."

The burly man, his eyes wide with terror, only had time to let out a scream before being crushed to dust by the dark green tortoise shell.

"Taiyi..."

Someone swallowed hard.

They stared in terror at the old man on the high platform, whose calm demeanor was frightening.

Then he suddenly grabbed his weapon and charged at the group of rebels.

"Today is the day to make a name for yourself and achieve great things."

"I will never share the same sky with insects."

In an instant, shouts of battle filled the void within the water palace.

The stench of blood filled the air.

Guizhenzi looked at the scene before him and slowly shook his head.

Mangcang and Jin Yuanzi were both veteran officials who had served the emperor since his founding.

He followed Shuijun when Shuijun had just achieved Taiyi.

'This shows that the poison of power can cloud judgment and make people blinded by greed.'

Our clan should take this as a warning.

Zhou Yuan was unaware that the loyal Steward Gui was about to arrive at Wuyi Mountain after cleaning up the Water Mansion.

He then left the Daoist temple and stood in the void.

Two Innate Spiritual Treasures, radiating Indestructible Spiritual Light, floated directly in front of them.

These are the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin, and the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Treasure Gathering Basin.

Zhou Yuan held a bluish-green bamboo staff and looked up at the sky.

He activated his supernatural powers and spoke loudly:

"Heavenly Dao's will prevails."

"I, Taiyuan, the Master of Wuyi Mountain, am saddened by the fact that all living beings in the Primordial World have closed themselves off from the mountain, hindering the flow of resources throughout the universe, which is of no benefit to the cultivation of all beings and to the evolution of the Primordial World."

"Therefore, relying on the power of all the spirits of the Demon Clan Primordial World, three thousand large Marketplace, ten thousand eight hundred medium-sized Marketplace, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six small Marketplace, and an indefinite number of micro -Marketplace were built in the primordial world."

"Treasure Gathering Basin is placed in the Marketplace; this basin is a supreme treasure for commerce, capable of gathering countless resources and transforming them into five virtues."

"Today, our merits are complete. We hereby report to the Heavenly Dao and proclaim to all living beings in the universe that from this day forward, resources will circulate, all races will interact, civilizations will evolve, wisdom will be derived, and blessings will be bestowed upon the Primordial World and all living beings."

May Heavenly Dao bear witness.

"The Acquired Merchant Dao!"

Just as Zhou Yuan finished speaking...

An extremely majestic will spread out from time and space.

Its vastness is boundless, its supreme and holy nature encompasses Myriad Heavens and Universes, and all dimensions.

This will swept over Zhou Yuan.

Then a vast and mighty force emanated boundless light.

In an instant, countless beings in the Primordial World looked up at the sky.

All that could be seen was endless radiance.

The five virtues flow and the golden light spreads without end.

On a colossal treasure basin, countless shimmering golden copper coins traverse time and space.

Kunlun Mountains.

The Grand Pure Daoist said calmly:

"Although the way of commerce is a way of acquired knowledge, it conforms to the Primordial World state of things, promotes communication among all living beings, and facilitates the evolution of civilization, thus contributing to the well-being of heaven and earth."

"Our Kunlun Mountain has many Daoist lineages, so we have dispatched our disciples and followers to establish Marketplace in Kunlun."

"To provide a platform for immortals to exchange ideas on the path to immortality and to share what they need for cultivation."

Having said that, the Grand Pure Daoist closed his eyes and remained silent.

The evolution of the Taiqing Main World Evolution allows one to clearly see the surging torrent.

Both Jade Pure Daoist and Upper Pure Daoist nodded in agreement.

This is beneficial to the Daoist lineage and should be done.

On Mount Sumeru.

A gaunt Daoist priest, holding Six Roots Pure Bamboo, slowly opened his eyes.

He gazed at the Dharma image in the void and sighed softly:

"The East is rich in talented people."

The Daoist Zhunti chuckled, and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree emitted a seven-colored radiance.

"Senior brother is attached to appearances."

"Since we all live in the same Primordial World, there is no distinction between east and west."

"Sharing the rich resources of nature with the East is the ultimate truth of Heavenly Dao."

Having said that, he summoned the Pharmacist Daoist:

"The Dao Lord Taiyuan possesses great compassion for Heaven and Earth."

"You have received my decree to build a Marketplace at the border of the east and west, thus fulfilling my merits."

Although the West is barren, it is in the position of Geng Metal, and there are always some spiritual things that the East lacks.

If a Marketplace could be built at the intersection of the east and west sides.

It will surely attract some practitioners to set foot on the Western land.

The Pharmacist Daoist, with a gentle expression, bowed and said:

"Disciple receives the Imperial Decree."
