High-Tier Innate Divine Being, Great Destiny Art!

Within the Primordial World, Heavenly Dao Merit was absolutely the most fundamental power, a source force that even Heavenly Dao Sages coveted.

Whether it was used to transform one's foundation, raise one's cultivation, or even forge Merit Spirit Treasures, all of it was entirely possible.

As for the claim that Heavenly Dao Merit was toxic, Zhao Gongming considered it utter nonsense.

After all, the essence of Heavenly Dao Merit was the Heaven and Earth Origin power of the Primordial World, incomparably pure. What side effects could it possibly have?

Only by using it to attain the Saint Fruit Position and grasp the authority of heaven and earth would one be subject to restrictions!

Of course, a mere hundred mu of Merit Cloud was still far from enough Merit to become a Saint.

"I might as well use this Heavenly Dao Merit to transform my foundation!"

Zhao Gongming quickly made his decision.

In the Primordial World, the most important thing was naturally one's foundation. It encompassed everything—Fortune, bottlenecks, aptitude, and more.

Take the Three Pure Ones, for example. They possessed Top-Tier Innate Divine Foundation. Before even taking form, they had been accompanied by the Supreme Treasure, the Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow Exquisite Pagoda. They were also among the Heaven-Appointed Six Sages, destined to attain the Dao and become Saints. Zhunti and Jieyin, whose foundations were slightly inferior, were not only born in the utterly barren Western Land, but even their Saint Fruit Positions came only after a bumpy road. In the end, they had to make great vows, borrow their way into Sainthood, and owe the Heavenly Dao an enormous debt of Merit.

A slightly poorer foundation created such a shocking disparity. This showed just how important one's foundation was in the Primordial World.

By comparison, condensing a Merit Golden Wheel was also highly cost-effective, but in the Primordial World, strength was king in the end. A big fist was the hard truth.

Even with a Merit Golden Wheel, one careless move could still result in being trapped and imprisoned.

Rumble!

Very soon, a pillar of golden light enveloped Zhao Gongming, making him feel as though he had sunk into a hot spring. Countless tiny hands, soft as tender fingers, seemed to be massaging him. It was warm and comfortable beyond measure. Under the ceaseless influx of Merit, his bloodline and foundation rumbled as they transformed at an astonishing speed toward a higher level.

Low-Grade Innate Divine-Saint Foundation!

Mid-Grade Innate Divine-Saint Foundation!

High-Tier Innate Divine Foundation!

From the descent of the Merit to its disappearance, it sounded like a lengthy process, yet it had happened in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Gongming slowly opened his eyes. A sharp gleam flashed and vanished within them. Compared to before, his cultivation had not changed, yet every movement he made now exuded a different aura in the eyes of the Three Skies beside him—an aura of divinity, as though the power of heaven and earth itself were blessing his body.

Though he was known as the first wisp of clear wind between heaven and earth, compared with the first Kunpeng and the first Golden Crow, he was still somewhat too ordinary.

His foundation had only been at the level of Low-Grade Innate Divine-Saint Foundation!

But now, with the full hundred mu of Merit Cloud, he had transformed his foundation in one burst into a High Divine Root. Even compared to peak Great Supernatural Beings such as Kunpeng and Minghe, it was no inferior. Zhao Gongming could clearly sense that even without cultivating deliberately, endless spiritual energy flowed into his body. Compared to before, his cultivation speed had increased by far more than a hundredfold.

Not only that, with the transformation of his foundation, the limits of his bottlenecks had also risen dramatically.

With a Low-Grade Innate Divine-Saint Foundation, Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was practically the limit.

But with a High-Tier Innate Divine Foundation, attaining the Dao as a Quasi-Sage in the future, or even reaching the realm of Perfected Quasi-Sage, would come as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

Lastly came the unseen Fortune. As his foundation transformed, his Fortune also surged tremendously, and his instinctive premonitions of seeking blessings and avoiding disaster became clearer than ever.

"Not bad!"

Feeling his own transformation, Zhao Gongming's face broke into a smile.

The next moment, with a sweep of his hand, he tossed the World Tree Seedling into the Myriad Heavens World he had just evolved. The instant the two came together, the World Tree Seedling, originally no larger than a palm, began swelling at an astonishing rate as though it had swallowed some miraculous tonic.

In a short time, it had grown into a towering tree. Its roots, like coiling dragons, burrowed deep into the Myriad Heavens World, while its vast canopy blanketed heaven and earth.

At the same time, as the World Tree took root, the Myriad Heavens World became increasingly stable. Even its speed of absorbing energy from the Chaos Void increased severalfold compared to before. Its Origin grew and nourished the World Tree in return, while the World Tree's growth accelerated the rise of its Origin. The two complemented one another perfectly.

"Three younger sisters, you have only recently taken form. Go cultivate within this Myriad Heavens World!"

Zhao Gongming looked toward his three younger sisters. The Myriad Heavens World had now reached the level of a Great Thousand World. Its Origin was enough to nurture twenty-four Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal powerhouses. As the Lord of the Myriad Heavens World, he could naturally use its Origin to nurture the Three Skies, allowing their cultivation to reach the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal level as quickly as possible.

Likewise, as the Myriad Heavens World's Origin nourished him in return, the speed of his own cultivation progress would naturally reach an unimaginable level.

"Brother, be careful in all things!" Yun Xiao had the steadiest temperament. Knowing that the three of them had only just taken form, she feared they would only burden their eldest brother.

By comparison, the Myriad Heavens World had been opened by their eldest brother, so it was naturally incomparably safe. She immediately stepped inside.

"This Yang Merit Ruler is truly wondrous!" Bixiao was still immersed in refining the Yang Merit Ruler in her hand when Yun Xiao helplessly dragged her into the Myriad Heavens World.

"Hehe, eldest brother, if you meet any bad people, just call your little sister out. Watch me use these Golden Flood Dragon Scissors to snip them in two!"

Qiongxiao flaunted the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in her hand like a prized treasure, leaving Zhao Gongming with a face full of black lines.

Of his three younger sisters, Qiongxiao had the most impatient temperament and was also the most hot-tempered. During the Investiture of the Gods Cataclysm, she had cursed a Saint to his face, nearly shattering the Saint's composure.

"Enough. Treasures may be good, but your own cultivation is the foundation. Qiongxiao, have you forgotten Master's teachings?"

As the eldest brother, he was like a father. Seeing Zhao Gongming's stern expression, Qiongxiao, despite her impatient and fiery nature, gave an embarrassed laugh. "I know, I know!"

After saying that, she mischievously stuck out her tongue, then stepped directly into the Myriad Heavens World.

Seeing that all three of his younger sisters had entered the Myriad Heavens World, Zhao Gongming immediately evolved the Origin of the Myriad Heavens World and bestowed it upon the Three Skies. In an instant, the newly transformed Three Skies discovered in astonishment that their every move seemed to be blessed by an entire Great Thousand World. Cultivating was as effortless as if divine aid were at their side. Only then did they truly understand the formidable nature of the Myriad Heavens World their eldest brother had evolved, and they immediately immersed themselves in cultivation.

"Next, it is time to refine all these treasures!"

Zhao Gongming likewise sat down cross-legged, drawing upon the Origin power of the Myriad Heavens World to bless himself. Combined with his High-Tier Innate Divine Foundation bloodline and Perfected Profound Immortal Realm cultivation, his cultivation began soaring at an astonishing speed. Then, with a lift of his hand, three treasures appeared before him: the Fishing Drum, the Sage Talisman, and the Fortune-Governing Compass!

"Come!"

With a grab of his hand, Zhao Gongming first seized the Fortune-Governing Compass. As he began refining it, under his Heaven-Defying Comprehension, countless insights surged into his mind.

[You refined the Fortune-Governing Compass and gained a slight insight. You comprehended the Fortune Law. Current Fortune Law: 5%]

[You refined the Fortune-Governing Compass. Combining it with the Fortune Law, inspiration struck, and you comprehended the Great Supernatural Ability—Great Fortune Art.]

[You completely refined the Fortune-Governing Compass. You attained sudden enlightenment and, from the Great Fortune Art, reverse-derived the Great Supernatural Ability—Great Destiny Art.]

"Great Destiny Art?"
