At that moment.
As Hongjun spoke of proving the Dao through merit and accumulating immeasurable merit, the atmosphere in the great hall of the Purple Heaven Palace suddenly turned bizarre.
The three thousand Innate Divine Beings seated there all turned their eyes toward Tianlu, who was sprawled atop Cloud Treasure.
That was because behind this Pixiu loomed a Golden Wheel of Merit so enormous it was almost impossible to fathom, nearly solid in form!
