Merit and Fortune
Within the numerous Innate Divine Being dojos of the Primordial Great World, gazes shifted between curiosity, friendliness, indifference, and apprehension.
Their gazes as they looked at Zhou Yuan revealed a variety of thoughts and considerations, each with their own agenda.
Zhou Yuan was naturally unaware of the thoughts in the minds of these Innate Divine Being and Great Luo Dao Lords.
He was now gazing at the Grand Void with great joy.
As the Treasure Gathering Basin in the void split into countless forms, they fell one by one into the Marketplace scattered throughout the various regions of the Primordial Great World.
The Heavenly Dao also reacted immediately.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The heavens trembled, and lotus blossoms appeared in the void.
Auspicious celestial light filled the sky, and the resounding chants of the Dao echoed as a massive torrent of Heavenly Dao Merit descended from the Grand Void.
"So much merit."
Many Innate Divine Being felt a pang of sadness upon witnessing this scene, not only in their mouths but also in their hearts.
This is Heavenly Dao Merit, a true panacea in the Primordial World.
It can be used for cultivation, Artifact Refining, or tribulation transcendence.
Taiyuanzi has become incredibly wealthy.
The Heavenly Dao Merits within the Grand Void instantly split away.
One of the merits split into two, each heading towards Phoenix Perch Mountain and the Heavenly Court respectively.
Fuxi, Nuwa, and Di Jun played a supporting role in the establishment of the Acquired Merchant Dao.
By being involved in cause and effect, merit will naturally descend upon you.
Phoenix Perch Mountain.
Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged a glance, and in the end, Nuwa accepted the merit.
Merit enters the body.
The Primordial Violet Qi hidden within its auspicious Auspicious Cloud Dao fruit leaped out, exuding boundless splendor.
Upon seeing this, the Empress Nuwa's heart stirred:
'Could it be that my path to enlightenment must be placed on the path of accumulating merit?'
In the Heavenly Court.
Di Jun casually accepted the half-achievement.
With his current level of cultivation.
These merits are not enough to allow him to advance further.
It would be better to use it to refine spiritual treasures.
'After this, Daoist Taiyuan's cultivation will definitely make another great leap forward.'
'Although they are friendly with our Demon Clan.'
'But since attaining enlightenment, he has never ascended to the Heavenly Court again.'
'Only one clone will remain to manage all affairs of the Water Department.'
Taiyuanzi maintained a perfect distance from the Demon Clan.
Neither far nor near.
A thoughtful look flashed across Di Jun's face.
This Daoist priest seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.
When it came into his view, it had already reached the Taiyi cultivation level.
Having just been appointed Water Department Heavenly Official and the Heavenly River Water God, he attained the Dao of the Great Luo Dao Lord.
The lineage of the Sun Palace didn't even have the opportunity to bestow favors.
Even the position of the Heavenly River Water God was given up to Phoenix Perch Mountain Dao Lineage.
The actual power is controlled by the Star God Lineage.
It's all just an empty shell.
Fortunately, when Taiyuanzi and Candle Dragon were clashing, Tai Yi personally intervened, leaving behind a legacy of goodwill.
'This time, our Demon Clan is fully cooperating with him in building the Marketplace, helping to establish the Acquired Merchant Dao.'
'Given these past relationships, we should be able to persuade them to become allies of our Demon Clan.'
As for completely subduing Taiyuanzi and forcing him to join the Demon Clan.
The Demon Clan at present does not yet have this ambition.
The Primordial Divine Race, though centipedes, do not die easily.
The Three Innate Races possess profound cultural heritage.
The Daoist court surveys the world from all corners of the land.
The Witch Clan, residing in Buzhou, looked towards the Heavenly Court.
If some Great Divine Ability User are pushed too far, the Demon Clan will also suffer.
Within the Grand Void.
The division of merit is still ongoing.
Under the watchful eyes of all the great powers.
Two more streams of merit flowed down and were scattered throughout the many Marketplace of the entire Primordial World.
This demonstrates the importance that Heavenly Dao attaches to the first batch of Primordial World Marketplace.
It seems to be a warning to all living beings not to harbor any wicked thoughts.
In this way.
Thirty percent of the merit accumulated was lost.
At the same time, two merits were divided equally into two parts.
They fell into the void and landed on the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the Treasure-Dropping Golden Coin and the Treasure Gathering Basin.
This created two Innate Merit Spirit Treasure.
They sat in a row and shared the fruit.
Finally, fifty Heavenly Dao Merit remained in the void.
Rumble!
This 50 Heavenly Dao Merit came directly to Zhou Yuan.
'Using merit to directly elevate one's cultivation level. Simple and brutal.'
'However, it hinders one's foundation, and in subsequent cultivation, one will have to expend energy to slowly repair it.'
'It would be better to transform it into Merit Golden Wheel, illuminating the ten directions and impervious to all laws.'
Zhou Yuan did not choose to use these merits to improve his cultivation and realm. Instead, he condensed these Heavenly Dao Merits into a Merit Golden Wheel that hung behind his mind, providing clear insight and illuminating all directions.
In this way, when engaging in a contest of wits with others, one gains a significant advantage.
Merit is the best defensive spiritual treasure.
Once everything is completed.
Zhou Yuan then felt an invisible aura of fortune bestowed upon him.
'This is...'
'The fortune of Acquired Merchant Dao.'
A knowing glint appeared in his eyes.
With the development of the Acquired Merchant Dao.
Every transaction is subject to the influence of fate.
Zhou Yuan will also receive a continuous stream of good fortune.
'This is the status of the founder of the Dao.'
'Using the energy of a single path to nourish one person.'
Even the Acquired Merchant Dao are like this.
What about the Mystic Gate Immortal Path?
This Dao Body is immeasurably larger in scale than the Acquired Merchant Dao.
How immense must the fortune brought by the Mystic Gate Immortal Paths be?
'The Dao Ancestor of the Profound Gate, the Teacher of all realms.'
' The Dao Ancestor Hongjun occupies the source of all Daos, educating and enlightening all living beings; his Immeasurable Merit.'
All beings who cultivate the Mystic Gate Immortal Path must respect him as their master.
He carries within him the fruits of enlightenment for countless sentient beings.
The other patriarchs of the Xuanmen sect shared the remaining fortune of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.
This is also where the wisdom of Dao Ancestor Hongjun lies.
Don't eat alone.
After he attains enlightenment, he will not emerge for countless eons.
If some of its fortune were not shared with the Innate Divine Being of the Primordial World.
Who will then promote the development of the Xuanmen)?
Therefore, the power structure of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path is such that the top-level Dao Ancestor Hongjun occupies the largest share of the Immortal Path's pie.
The patriarchs of the Xuanmen sect in the middle opened up many branches of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path, and can be regarded as the ancestors of the path, and also have the added fortune.
The lowest level consists of the various lineages passed down by the disciples of the various patriarchs of the Xuanmen due to their different cultivation philosophies and methods.
'Lineage, branches, the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.'
The plate keeps getting bigger.
The cake keeps getting bigger.
Even if each patriarch only receives a portion of the blessings, it still represents an immense amount of fortune.
Even though later Jieyin and Zhunti abandoned Daoism for Buddhism, they still did not escape the realm of Xuanmen.
There are Three Thousand Great Daos and Eight Hundred Side Gates.
How can one say that the Eight Hundred Side Gates are not within the scope of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path?
As more and more beings began to cultivate the Mystic Gate Immortal Path...
The reach of Mystic Gate Immortal Path practices is expanding.
The cultivation level of beings practicing the path of immortality is getting higher and higher.
The fortune and status that Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the other patriarchs of the Xuanmen sect could obtain naturally increased accordingly.
If one day...
' The Mystic Gate Immortal Path can stir up a surging tide of immortal cultivation in the multiverse and the endless Chaos Sea.'
'This will likely be the day that Dao Ancestor truly attains enlightenment.'
Even transcending such limitations is not surprising.
A glimpse of the leopard through a tube reveals only a part of its brilliance.
'That's the terrifying thing about owning original shares.'
'As long as one occupies the upstream position, countless beings will serve as oxen and horses, providing sustenance for one's spiritual practice.'
Fortunately, the Xuanmen has not yet opened its doors.
'I might not be unable to carve out a slice of the huge cake that is the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.'
'He might very well become the founder of a new path.'
Zhou Yuan's gaze was deep and unfathomable.
The black and white light in his eyes flickered uncertainly.
