At the center of the battlefield, Li Yi felt himself enveloped in Merit, and he could not hide the smile on his face.

After killing Qiongqi and slaying Shenni, he alone had claimed nearly half the credit for this Beast Calamity Tribulation!

Now that the Heavenly Dao Merit was being distributed, he would naturally receive the largest share!

This Heavenly Dao Merit could be used for cultivation, refining treasures, and even protecting oneself from disaster. It was absolutely hard currency for traveling through the Primordial World!

With everything here settled, Li Yi had no intention of staying any longer. After greeting Yuanfeng beside him, he took one step and instantly left this place by hundreds of millions of miles.

On Penglai Island, Yuanling was carefully tending to the immortal herbs and Dao trees on the island.

Just then, she vaguely sensed the restrictions of the island-protecting formation fluctuate slightly. In the next moment, she saw Li Yi appear before her.

Yuanling's heart tightened, and she hurried forward to bow respectfully.

"Dao Master!"

Li Yi nodded slightly and swept his gaze over the immortal herbs on the island, feeling satisfied.

After casually giving a few instructions, he hurried back toward his secluded cultivation chamber. At this moment, he had already decided how to use this Merit.

Yuanling respectfully watched Li Yi leave. Her heart relaxed, and as she looked at the immortal herbs covering the island, a hint of contentment arose within her.

Although she had left her clansmen behind, living on this immortal island felt quite nice. More importantly, this Qiankun Dao Master was easy to get along with. If she gained the opportunity in the future and was accepted as his disciple, becoming a Sage's disciple would not be bad...

In his secluded cultivation chamber, Li Yi brought out the Twelfth-Grade Pure World Lotus Platform, then separated half of the Calamity Cycle Merit he had obtained this time and poured it all into the Cosmos Cauldron.

The Twelfth-Grade Pure World Lotus Platform was already a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure. If Merit was added to its refinement, perhaps it could enter the ranks of supreme treasures.

Although the Innate Supreme Treasure and the Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure seemed to differ by only one grade, that single grade was like an insurmountable chasm, and the difference was immense.

Of course, with Merit, it was not impossible to complete that final step. For example, the later Heaven and Earth Dark-Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was an acquired treasure, yet with its vast amount of Merit, it was hailed as the number-one defensive treasure! In terms of defensive power alone, it was no weaker than the Chaos Bell!

Having made up his mind, Li Yi did not hesitate. He activated the Cosmos Cauldron with all his might, merging the Calamity Cycle Merit into the Twelfth-Grade Pure World Lotus Platform.

Time passed without measure in the Primordial World. In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred thousand years passed.

On Penglai Island, Li Yi sat cross-legged in a secret chamber, looking at the Cosmos Cauldron before him. His face was filled with unconcealed delight.

It worked!

At the same time, auspicious aura filled the entire Penglai Immortal Island. Strange phenomena appeared in the void, immortal lotuses blossomed, and Daoist sounds lingered in the air.

The phenomenon even passed through the island's restrictions and manifested on the Primordial Continent. The people outside thought a Spirit Treasure had emerged and began searching through the mountains.

Inside the secret chamber, as the phenomenon manifested, the Pure World Lotus Platform slowly floated out of the Cosmos Cauldron. Its original twelve petals had already transformed into twenty-four petals!

The fragrance of lotuses spread through the secret chamber. If anyone below the Golden Immortal realm smelled it, they would probably break through their realm immediately!

Li Yi looked at the Twenty-Four-Petal Pure World White Lotus in the air and could not stop grinning.

After half of the Merit was invested, the Pure World White Lotus had directly transformed from a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure into an Innate Merit Supreme Treasure!

Standing upon the White Lotus meant being invincible from birth. Moreover, it could withstand the myriad laws!

In other words, the power of any law was unable to penetrate the protection of the Pure World White Lotus.

Looking at the shrunken White Lotus in his hand, Li Yi felt extremely pleased. Innate Supreme Treasures were rare even on the Primordial Continent.

They were either born when the world was created and the tribulation descended, such as the Taiji Diagram, or nurtured before the creation of the world, such as the Cosmos Cauldron that had accompanied his birth.

Now, relying on Calamity Cycle Merit, he had forcibly created a supreme treasure! Of course, this was also because the Pure World White Lotus had a sufficiently profound foundation. It was originally a seed from the Genesis Azure Lotus and could be considered the finest of Supreme-grade Spirit Treasures. If it had been any other ordinary Supreme-grade Spirit Treasure, even if he had invested all his Merit, it might not have transformed into an Innate Supreme Treasure.

After putting away the Twenty-Four-Petal Pure World White Lotus, Li Yi looked toward his other supreme treasures.

At present, his defensive power could be called the strongest among those in the same realm! Even if three Mid-stage Quasi-Saints joined forces, they would basically be unable to break through his defenses.

His defensive power was sufficient, but his offensive power was somewhat lacking.

Thinking this, Li Yi took out the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls that the Phoenix Clan had previously gifted him.

During these years of refining the Pure World White Lotus, he had already formed a plan in his mind. The Sea-Calming Pearls were originally offensive Spirit Treasures, and most importantly, they could release five-colored radiance to obscure the enemy's perception! Once hurled, they left the enemy with little chance to resist.

However, at his current realm, he still felt that they were not enough.

What if he imitated the Immortal-Slaying Sword refined by Luohou in later generations and equipped these twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls with a formation diagram?

Their offensive power would be even greater than before, while they would also gain the ability to restrain space!

Having made up his mind, Li Yi took out the High-grade Innate Spirit Treasure Dao Diagram he had previously obtained from Shenni and placed it into the Cosmos Cauldron. Following his years of contemplation regarding the Formation Dao, he began refining it.

The Beast Calamity Tribulation had passed, and the situation of the three clans standing as the major powers of the Primordial World had become inevitable.

The path of cultivation was fundamentally about one word: competition! When one clan had more resources, another clan would have fewer!

With the three clans evenly matched in strength, they naturally regarded one another as rivals. Previously, things had been fine because they shared the common goal of killing the beasts and competing for Fortune. Now that the Beast Calamity Tribulation had passed, all three clans believed themselves to be the protagonists of Fortune, and none was willing to yield to another.

Inside the palace, Yuanfeng listened to the report from the clansmen below. She gently rubbed her forehead with her jade finger, unable to keep her thoughts from becoming restless.

"Lady Yuanfeng, the Dragon Clan has bullied our clan far too much! Everyone in the clan is eager to fight..."

"Big Sister, if we go to war, our Phoenix Clan has at least a seventy percent chance of victory!"

"If the Dragon Clan does not perish, our Phoenix Clan will find it difficult to dominate Heaven and Earth!"

Looking at the clansmen below, all rubbing their fists and eager for battle, Yuanfeng vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Yet even though she was the Ancestor, it was difficult for her to change anything in this matter!

Even if she could suppress her clansmen and prevent them from attacking first, could she really sit by and ignore the Dragon Clan's provocations? Could they refuse to fight back after being attacked?

"I understand. Arrange for the young warriors of the clan to prepare for battle!"

Upon hearing this, the Phoenix Clan clansmen below were all delighted and turned to leave to make preparations.

Yuanfeng sat on the throne, her thoughts restless. Her mind subconsciously recalled the time she had visited Li Yi's immortal island. She felt somewhat envious.

Daoist Friend Qiankun lived alone, free and at ease!

Unlike her, she bore responsibility for the prosperity of her clan. Every day, she could barely free herself from handling the clan's trivial affairs, let alone enter secluded cultivation!

Thinking of the recent events, Yuanfeng's heart stirred. She rose and left the immortal palace, flying toward Penglai Immortal Island.

Given Daoist Friend Qiankun's temperament, he most likely would not enter the tribulation over this major matter. Still, she could ask him a few questions and inquire about his opinion.

With his Quasi-Saint abilities, there was little distance in Heaven and Earth before him. In less than half an hour, he appeared outside Penglai Immortal Island.

"Daoist Friend Qiankun, Yuanfeng requests an audience!"
