Within Lingxiao Palace, All Divine Power Practitioners Dare to Challenge the Saints' Disciples—Who Dares Claim Invincibility!
At this moment, countless streams of Purple Qi gathered above the Heavenly Court. Auspicious Clouds swirled, Immortal Music descended from Outside the Nine Heavens, and countless auspicious Anomalies appeared in the void.
Everyone present looked up, their faces filled with astonishment.
Sure enough, a massive Merit Golden Cloud descended from the heavens and hung above the sky. Boundless auspicious light illuminated the entire Primordial Wilderness.
Merit Golden Cloud!
This Heavenly Marriage had actually earned the Heavenly Dao's congratulations, bringing down a Merit Golden Cloud.
Countless powerful figures revealed looks of envy.
No one had expected Dijun's Heavenly Marriage to receive such immense Merit.
As the Primordial Wilderness powerhouses stood in astonishment, the Merit Golden Cloud descended and gathered above the Heavenly Court before splitting apart and merging into the bodies of Nüwa, Dijun, Changxi, and Xi He.
As the officiant, Nüwa received the greater portion of the Merit, while Dijun, Changxi, and Xi He each received a share.
Though it was only a small share, it was still immensely substantial.
Although the Primordial Wilderness powerhouses were envious, they all offered their congratulations.
"The Heavenly Emperor's marriage has resonated with the Heavenly Dao. This is truly a deed of Merit!"
"Congratulations to the Heavenly Emperor! Congratulations to Nüwa..."
The congratulations rose one after another, each wave louder than the last.
Dijun was overjoyed and thoroughly satisfied. Such abundant Merit would be of tremendous benefit to his cultivation!
"My marriage has been made possible by all of you coming here to honor us and bring about this joyous occasion. Every one of you deserves credit. I shall hold an unprecedented celebration in the Heavenly Court and properly entertain you all."
The gathered powerhouses repeatedly responded with polite words.
Behind the Tongtian Sect Leader, Lin Zhu watched the Merit descend and was suddenly struck by enlightenment.
A notification rang in his ears:
Having witnessed Merit descending from the heavens several times, you have gained insight and comprehended the Subtle Meaning of Merit!
As the notification sounded, a stream of information emerged within Lin Zhu's sea of consciousness.
It detailed the wondrous uses of the Subtle Meaning of Merit.
The Subtle Meaning of Merit was not a Divine Power.
Those who comprehended the Subtle Meaning of Merit could more easily draw close to Merit and gain its favor. When performing meritorious deeds, they would also be more likely to obtain Merit.
Though this Subtle Meaning of Merit was not a Divine Power, its uses were boundless.
The importance of Merit went without saying.
If one obtained enough Merit and had Merit protecting one's body, the path of cultivation would become far smoother.
Absorbing the information on the Subtle Meaning of Merit, Lin Zhu secretly rejoiced.
Dijun's Heavenly Marriage ceremony no longer seemed appealing to him. He immediately stood behind the Tongtian Sect Leader, half-closing his eyes as he began comprehending the Subtle Meaning of Merit.
The Heavenly Marriage ceremony had ended, and what followed was a time for feasting, drinking, Dao Debate, and exchanges among the many Primordial Wilderness powerhouses.
Some Primordial Wilderness powerhouses even began trading treasures on the spot.
The powerhouses either whispered among themselves or engaged in lofty discussions. It was exceedingly lively.
Donghuang Taiyi presided over the gathering, conversing with the Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness present.
Guang Chengzi, Xuan Du, Daoist Bhaisajyaguru, Ksitigarbha, and the other Saints' disciples were also highly active, discussing the path of cultivation.
The Saints' disciples naturally drew much attention.
One Great Power of the Primordial Wilderness remarked, "As the Saints' personal disciples, they must naturally possess outstanding talent. It is certain that they will become powerhouses in the future, but I wonder how strong they truly are."
Donghuang Taiyi heard this and immediately had an idea.
Now that the Heavenly Marriage had ended, why not take this opportunity to arrange something?
Since so many Great Powers wished to see the strength of the Saints' disciples, why not use it to liven things up?
With that thought, Donghuang Taiyi went to meet the Saints.
When the Three Pure Ones saw Donghuang coming over to greet them, they naturally responded with courtesy.
Donghuang Taiyi then voiced his idea and asked for the Saints' opinions.
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin were confident in their teachings and had bestowed magical treasures upon their disciples. This was the perfect opportunity to display the Western Sect's strength.
If Daoist Bhaisajyaguru and Ksitigarbha displayed their strength and distinguished themselves before the many powerhouses,
then the Western Sect would have a far easier time recruiting followers in the future.
Just as Daoist Jieyin was about to speak, Daoist Zhunti readily agreed.
Donghuang Taiyi then turned to the Three Pure Ones. "What do the three Saints think?"
Taishang Laojun stroked his chin and was just about to speak when Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Since Junior Brothers Zhunti and Jieyin both approve, how could we disagree?"
Hearing this, Taishang Laojun also agreed.
Among the three personal disciples, Lin Zhu had the highest cultivation. Since Yuanshi Tianzun had agreed, how could the Tongtian Sect Leader refuse?
Seeing that all the Saints had agreed to the matches, Donghuang Taiyi was overjoyed.
"Very well. I shall select opponents of similar cultivation to spar with the Saints' outstanding disciples."
After saying this, Donghuang Taiyi turned around and announced loudly, "Esteemed guests, the Saints have all taken disciples, and their personal disciples are here today. If anyone wishes to exchange pointers with a Saint's disciple, step forward and do so. Of course, the two parties' cultivation levels must not differ too greatly."
Spar with the Saints' disciples.
The moment the powerhouses heard this, their interest was piqued.
Even those who had no intention of participating were eager to watch and see what methods the Saints' disciples possessed.
At once, many powerhouses stepped forward to register for matches against the Saints' disciples.
Donghuang Taiyi selected several experts at the Taiyi Realm Early Stage and Grand Yi Middle Stage to challenge the Saints' disciples.
A middle-aged Daoist dressed in a yellow Daoist robe flew into the arena and arrived at the center of the plaza.
"I am Song Yunzi, at the Grand Yi Middle Stage. Which Saint's disciple would care to offer guidance?"
The interest of the Primordial Wilderness Great Powers was immediately stirred, and their gazes turned toward the Saints' disciples.
Daoist Zhunti looked at Chi Songzi. Although Chi Songzi was at the Grand Yi Middle Stage, his foundation was not profound, so he was unlikely to be a true powerhouse.
He then turned to Daoist Bhaisajyaguru and said, "Daoist Bhaisajyaguru, you shall make the first move. Please exchange pointers with this fellow Daoist."
Seeing his master speak, Daoist Bhaisajyaguru stepped into the arena, and the two stood facing each other.
Chi Songzi cupped his hands and said, "Please," before launching the first attack.
Daoist Bhaisajyaguru was at the Taiyi Realm Early Stage, but he had already touched the threshold of the Grand Yi Middle Stage. Having also received the careful guidance of two Saints, his strength was naturally considerable.
The two fought with spells in the plaza, each displaying their Divine Powers as they battled to a standstill.
After fighting for a short while, Daoist Bhaisajyaguru employed a technique. The Divine Power Buddha Kingdom in the Palm activated, instantly suppressing Chi Songzi.
No matter what Chi Songzi did, he remained enveloped by Daoist Bhaisajyaguru's palm shadow.
Left with no alternative, he could only cup his hands and concede defeat.
After Daoist Bhaisajyaguru won the first match, all the Primordial Wilderness powerhouses were deeply impressed.
How many years had it been since the Saints attained the Dao? These Saints' disciples could not have entered their sects that long ago.
Yet they were already able to easily defeat ordinary powerhouses at the Grand Yi Middle Stage.
They truly were worthy of being Saints' disciples.
Daoist Bhaisajyaguru returned in victory, and smiles immediately appeared on the faces of Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin.
"My disciple Yaoshi, you have done well. When we return to the sect, you shall be rewarded," Daoist Zhunti said with a smile.
Daoist Bhaisajyaguru hurriedly thanked Zhun Ti and withdrew to the side.
The Saints' disciples had won the first match.
This caused the weaker challengers to begin having second thoughts.
However, there were still people who trusted in the depth of their magical power and wished to exchange blows with the Saints' disciples.
A demon race powerhouse clad in black robes, with a single horn growing from his head, flew into the arena and said, "I am at the Taiyi Realm. I request a Saint's disciple to offer guidance."
