Kunlun Mountain.

Beneath the Jade Void Palace, a lush green, bamboo-like Spiritual Root stood silently amidst a hazy, pure aura.

It was the first innate Spiritual Root of merit and virtue in the world since Pangu's creation of heaven and earth – the Purifying Mystic Bamboo. Its birth brought immeasurable merit for purifying the world's malevolent energies, and it had been silently cultivating beneath Kunlun Mountain's Jade Void Palace.

"Hoo—finally about to break through. One step closer to the goal."

Within the Purifying Mystic Bamboo, Xuanqing's consciousness slowly awoke, thinking to himself.

Xuanqing was once a person from another world. An accident led his soul to return to the heavens and earth. When he opened his eyes again, he had already become the first innate Spiritual Root in the Honghuang world to be forged by the world's spiritual energy.

Xuanqing did not panic or lose his composure. When endless time became the norm, any emotion seemed superfluous.

He quickly accepted his new identity and began to instinctively absorb the purest innate spiritual energy in the world. He had been cultivating for ten thousand years since his transmigration.

Furthermore, Xuanqing discovered that due to his meritorious service in purifying the world, he was born with double the fortune and merit!

What a terrifying ability this was. After Pangu created heaven and earth, the fortune and merit of all beings, from the Three Pure Ones above to birds and beasts below, were fixed and unalterable. Yet, Xuanqing had broken this heavenly rule from the moment of his birth!

It was precisely because he had this backing that a short-term goal quietly formed in Xuanqing's mind: to take human form.

Only by taking human form could he truly walk the perilous lands of Honghuang and seek the Great Dao, surviving the countless kalpas to come.

"It is currently after the Dragon-Han Calamity, the world's spiritual energy has not dispersed, and Spiritual Treasures are everywhere. This is a good opportunity to take form and emerge into the world."

"Moreover, the area beneath Kunlun Mountain's Jade Void Palace is inherently the place with the densest spiritual energy in Honghuang. If no Spiritual Root or spiritual beast here can successfully break through to the True Immortal realm and take form, then perhaps I can be the first!"

What's more, if he could always be the first to break through, then heaven and earth would continuously bestow merit upon Xuanqing. Coupled with the double bonus, it would be immeasurable!

Thinking of this, Xuanqing's divine sense suddenly focused. The magic power within his body instantly gathered, forming a vortex that continuously impacted the realm's barrier.

He was only a single step away from the True Immortal realm.

As the world's spiritual energy was continuously absorbed, the surrounding spiritual plants and beasts of Xuanqing all swayed their bodies, seemingly displeased that Xuanqing was absorbing all the surrounding spiritual energy and monopolizing it.

But Xuanqing couldn't care about that now. After all, Honghuang was a chaotic world, and only personal strength was paramount.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound exploded deep within Xuanqing's primordial spirit.

The barrier of the Celestial Immortal realm shattered in response. Boundless spiritual energy instantly poured in, madly cleansing his roots and leaves.

Every inch of the Purifying Mystic Bamboo's being became more crystal clear under the surge of this power, with profound Dao patterns flowing upon it.

The innate talent of double fortune and merit displayed its unparalleled power at this moment.

As his realm broke through, an invisible purifying force emanated from him, spreading towards the entire Kunlun Mountain range.

The malevolent energy in the mountains was scoured clean, and countless plant spirits seemed to have received a blessing, their intelligence becoming much clearer.

Because Xuanqing was the first Spiritual Root to break through to the True Immortal realm, the Heavenly Dao sensed it and descended the Xuanhuang merit energy.

However, the golden light of merit that fell upon Xuanqing was a full double that of ordinary beings.

The golden light merged into his origin, causing his already green bamboo leaves to carry a faint, noble golden hue.

The Spiritual Roots and spiritual beasts that were originally dissatisfied with Xuanqing instantly felt less animosity towards him. Some Spiritual Roots even voluntarily gave up a portion of their spiritual energy to supply Xuanqing's absorption.

They finally seemed to understand that if Xuanqing could successfully take form, they might also receive some merit, as even a tiny bit of merit energy was far superior to ten thousand years of arduous cultivation.

Jade Void Palace, within the Three Pure Ones Hall.

Daoist sounds were ethereal, and pure energy arose spontaneously.

Yuanshi Tianzun, who was seated on a cloud bed, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been tightly closed in cultivation for years.

His gaze seemed to penetrate layers of palaces, looking down towards the Jade Void Palace.

"Oh?"

A soft hum broke the eternal silence within the hall.

Beside him, an elder holding a whisk, with a calm and peaceful aura as if he had merged with the Great Dao, also slowly opened his eyes.

"Second Brother, what disturbs you?" Taishang Laojun's voice was devoid of emotion, as placid as water.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, his divine sense sweeping back and forth over the pure and boundless aura below.

"There is a being below who has just broken through to the True Immortal realm."

"In this Honghuang, beings break through every moment. What is so peculiar about this?" On the other side, a young Daoist wearing a green Taoist robe, with a soaring sword aura in his brows, also became interested. He was the Tongtian Cult Leader.

Yuanshi Tianzun said gravely, "What's peculiar is its origin... not only is it the first Spiritual Root to break through in the world, but the merit heaven and earth bestowed upon it is actually double that of ordinary beings!"

As soon as he said this, both Taishang Laojun and Tongtian Cult Leader showed clear signs of emotion for the first time.

"Double?" Tongtian Cult Leader's eyes flashed, "Brother, are you sure you're not mistaken?!"

Taishang Laojun gently waved his whisk, and began to deduce. After a moment, he slowly nodded, "It is indeed as Second Brother said. This Spiritual Root has the merit of purifying the world and carries great fortune and great merit. Upon its breakthrough, it actually attracted merit, and... far exceeding its peers. Even I am learning this for the first time!"

The three orthodox disciples of Pangu, the future Sages of the Heavenly Dao, had their attention completely captured by Xuanqing beneath the Jade Void Palace.

Such talent, such foundation, such merit and fortune – he is simply the perfect choice for spreading the Dao.

"This child and I are fated. He shall join the Jade Clarity Sect," Yuanshi Tianzun reacted first, immediately saying to his two brothers.

Moreover, Yuanshi himself valued foundation the most. Xuanqing's origins perfectly fit all his requirements for a disciple.

Tongtian Cult Leader, however, laughed heartily, stood up, and refuted on the spot.

"Brother, you are mistaken! Such an excellent disciple is plain for all to see. I observe his abundant spiritual energy and vibrant life force, which perfectly aligns with my Jie Sect's doctrine of 'intercepting a glimmer of hope.' He shall be my disciple!"

Taishang Laojun glanced at his two bickering brothers and calmly said.

"The Dao follows nature. Let things take their course."

Though he said this, Taishang Laojun secretly smiled, his heart harboring the same thoughts as his two brothers.

"Heh heh..."

The three exchanged glances.

"Whoosh--!"

An astonishing spectacle instantly appeared above Jade Void Palace. Three different divine sense avatars shot up into the sky, rushing towards the foot of Kunlun Mountain one after another.

"Just as I thought, breaking through to the True Immortal realm first indeed brings down merit."

"This way, as long as one can become the first Spiritual Root to break through to a new realm, they can continuously enjoy heavenly bestowed merit."

With the double merit bonus, Xuanqing directly broke through to the peak of the True Immortal Mid-stage realm.

Startled, Xuanqing quickly stabilized his realm and began to assess his current situation.

He was now a True Immortal Mid-stage, with no cultivation methods, no Spiritual Treasures, no backing, and not even any fellow Daoists to speak with.

Alas... the current situation was clear. A solid foundation, but a lack of means.

Xuanqing mused inwardly, it seemed he had to find a reliable backer as soon as possible and learn the true orthodox cultivation methods of the Mysterious Gate.

As he was thinking, three extremely powerful auras suddenly descended from the summit of Kunlun Mountain. The surrounding Spiritual Roots instantly wilted in fear, and Xuanqing's heart also pounded with alarm.

"Speak of the devil..."
