Chapter 442

Mount Kunlun.

Master Yuanshi watched Luo Fu's actions and exclaimed, "Luo Fu is using merit and fortune to forge a Chaos Supreme Treasure? There are truly such methods?"

Among the Three Pure Ones, Master Yuanshi possessed the greatest skill in forging artifacts.

Across the entire Primordial World, Master Yuanshi's achievements in the Dao of forging might also be the strongest.

That was precisely why.

The future Twelve Golden Immortals each held numerous treasures—literally several per person.

This was precisely because of Master Yuanshi's achievements in forging, making those spiritual treasures so commonplace.

Moreover, the artifacts forged by Master Yuanshi were, in some cases, not inferior to certain primordial spiritual treasures.

This alone was enough to prove Master Yuanshi's accomplishments in the Dao of forging.

In history, Master Yuanshi once forged the Fan Tian Yin from half of the Buzhou Mountain; when wielded by Blasting Guang Chengzi, it was utterly invincible, easily suppressing opponents of the same realm.

This alone proves Master Yuanshi's mastery in the Dao of forging.

Yet now, seeing Luo Fu forge artifacts using merit and fortune, Master Yuanshi had never imagined such a method—indeed, this technique subtly surpassed his own.

Merit and fortune.

For the Saints, these were also highly valuable.

Not to mention that Nüwa and many other Saints relied on merit and fortune to successfully attain the path of the Heavenly Dao.

Merit could also serve as a universal remedy, like a panacea.

In the Primordial World, nothing had higher versatility than merit and fortune.

Enhancing strength, shielding oneself from karmic retribution, crafting merit-based treasures, accelerating cultivation… and more.

Almost anything you could think of, merit could accomplish.

Thus, merit and fortune were desperately sought after by all beings of the Primordial World.

Now, Luo Fu was using merit and fortune to forge a Chaos Supreme Treasure—something far beyond Master Yuanshi's understanding.

Merit could indeed be used to forge merit-based treasures.

From Master Yuanshi's perspective, such vast quantities of merit and fortune were sufficient to elevate even a top-tier spiritual treasure into a true merit-based treasure.

It was like the Heaven-Earth Xuan Huang Linglong Treasure Tower owned by Elder Brother Laozi.

Long ago, Laozi had infused the Creation Merit into it, ultimately forging this top-tier spiritual treasure.

With this tower, Laozi was nearly invincible against peers of equal realm.

But in Master Yuanshi's view, Luo Fu was not merely infusing merit into the treasure—he was using a forging method he had never seen before.

This meant Luo Fu was not turning the treasure into an ordinary merit-based treasure.

"Yet that treasure," Master Yuanshi's eyes flickered. The dull gray pearl seemed unremarkable, yet for some reason, he sensed it was no ordinary object.

That was because.

The Chaos Pearl's divine radiance was currently restrained, releasing almost no aura of a Chaos Supreme Treasure.

That was why this Saint had not sensed its true nature.

If the Chaos Pearl truly unleashed its full Chaos Supreme Treasure power, how could Master Yuanshi fail to perceive it?

"Forging a Supreme Treasure with merit," Laozi's eyes flickered. "Luo Fu's achievements in the Dao of forging are indeed formidable—but does he not know? This celestial merit is the key to his own power ascent."

"Correct," Master Yuanshi nodded. "Luo Fu created the Six Realms of Reincarnation—a great merit—but under certain circumstances, this altered the great course of the Demon-Asura Cataclysm."

"Minor trends may be changed; great trends cannot," Master Yuanshi said gravely. "Luo Fu has altered the great trend. Even we Saints doing so might incur Heavenly Dao's backlash—severe enough to cause punishment and annihilation."

Correct.

Even a Heavenly Dao Saint like Master Yuanshi was sometimes powerless before the great tide of the Primordial World's cataclysms.

Because it was the great trend of Heaven and Earth.

Their true spirits were bound to the Heavenly Dao; though this granted them immortality, it also bound them in certain ways.

Thus, if a Heavenly Dao Saint alters the great trend of Heaven and Earth, the backlash is even stronger.

"Correct," Laozi nodded. "Originally, the merit and fortune Luo Fu gained from establishing the Six Realms of Reincarnation were his best chance to strengthen himself—so he could withstand the Heavenly Dao's backlash afterward. Yet he used such vast merit to forge a spiritual treasure."

"This…" Laozi trailed off, unable to continue.

Under current circumstances, Luo Fu's alteration of the Heavenly Dao's great trend would inevitably cause astonishing changes to the Primordial World's future.

Of course, the Heavenly Dao might also activate its self-correction mechanism.

Sometimes, the Heavenly Dao's power to restore fate was impossible to resist.

This was evident from the cataclysms themselves.

During the cataclysm, the Demon and Asura clans, under the influence of calamity qi, had completely lost their minds.

"Two elder brothers, I trust Luo Fu. He has his own reasons for doing this," Saint Tongtian said solemnly beside them.

Laozi and Master Yuanshi exchanged glances and nodded. "Let us hope so."

To Laozi and Master Yuanshi, Luo Fu was practically a half-disciple; they naturally did not wish for him to perish during the establishment of the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

But could the Three Pure Ones truly assist Luo Fu?

If Luo Fu faced other Chaos Great Luo powerhouses, the Three Pure Ones could intervene without issue.

But against the Heavenly Dao, the Saints like the Three Pure Ones could barely influence anything.

In fact, if they intervened, they might be swept up by the Heavenly Dao's backlash as well.

This left Saint Tongtian and the other Saints helpless.

They could only watch Luo Fu's actions helplessly.

The Nether Blood Sea.

The blood sea churned endlessly, boundless waves surging.

Now, compared to before, the blood sea's accumulated resentment, karmic ties, and ghostly spirits had nearly all been purged.

On one hand, it was because Luo Fu had just successfully opened the Six Paths of Reincarnation, causing those wandering souls to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation one after another, which made the wandering souls in the Nether Blood Sea almost vanish in an instant.

On the other hand, it was the merit and fortune that Luo Fu had obtained.

Under the golden radiance of this merit, although it was only the light of a very small amount of power, such radiance was enough to bring further changes to the Nether Blood Sea.

At this moment, if one did not look at the color of the blood sea, the Nether Blood Sea seemed like a sacred place.

In the void, the Great Dao Furnace continuously emitted rumbling sounds, as boundless merit and fortune transformed into flames, merging into the Chaos Bead in an incomprehensibly mysterious manner.

This point.

Luo Fu had long since conceived an idea on how to refine it from the very beginning.

After obtaining the Great Dao inheritance related to the Main God Space, Luo Fu's methods of refinement in this aspect also became more complete.

As time went on.

Luo Fu could feel that the previously flawed areas within the Chaos Bead were rapidly recovering.

Heavenly merit truly lived up to its reputation as a cure-all.

Luo Fu had actually managed to compensate for the flaws in this Chaos Treasure through a special method.

Of course, this was also because Luo Fu had previously already restored the Chaos Bead for the most part, leaving only an extremely small portion that still had certain flaws.

Otherwise, even with such a massive amount of heavenly merit, whether it could compensate for the flaws would still be uncertain.

A moment later.

The heavenly merit that had originally burst down from the heavens gradually vanished, having fully merged into the Great Dao Furnace, where the Merit Divine Fire continuously tempered the Chaos Bead.

Allowing its own power to slowly merge into it as well.

"Fortunately I utilized the merit from opening the Six Paths of Reincarnation, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find such a massive amount of merit," Luo Fu said softly as he watched this merit merge into the Chaos Bead.

Opening the Six Paths of Reincarnation was a merit second only to Nüwa creating humanity.

If Luo Fu had obtained merit through other means.

To restore the Chaos Bead into a complete Chaos Treasure all at once, he might not have been able to do it.
