Chapter 80: Hand-crafting the Heavenly Dao, fabricating Mysterious Yellow merit

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist is a true connoisseur!"

"You spotted the most valuable Daoist scripture among them at a glance." Exalted One Shuiyao Chenxing gave Hearing Fu Xi a thumbs up, praising his discerning eye.

Do you think he was so calm when exposing his own love history?

Exalted One Shuiyao Chenxing indicated: This book, "The Secrets I Must Tell About Three Thousand Female Cultivators," was clearly a love history written by a minor cultivator named "Ao Cang"!

That was Ao Cang's experience; what does it have to do with Zulong?

Even if you take a step back, even if Ao Cang had some connection to Zulong.

But what does that have to do with Exalted One Shuiyao Chenxing?

"Fellow Daoist Shuiyao Chenxing, we are also quite interested in this last volume of your Daoist scriptures."

The gods all expressed their desire to be the first batch of loyal readers of the minor cultivator "Ao Cang."

For the fun-loving gods of the Weiyuan Society, whether it was a Daoist scripture or not was secondary; they mainly wanted to eat melons.

"Good, good, good, everyone can have one!" Exalted One Shuiyao Chenxing laughed from ear to ear.

He was about to name a price, but then, as if remembering something, he turned to look at Xiang Xuanqing: "Fellow Daoist Comrade Ji Du, what does Tian Shi Yuan use for settlement?"

In the Dragon Clan's Main Divine Palace, in order to unify the settlement method, the Dragon Clan introduced the concept of "Merit Value."

The reason it is said to be introduced is because this concept originally came from the Weiyuan Society.

To be precise, it came from the hands of 【Exalted One Metal Yao Taibai】 Zhunti and 【Exalted One Dark Yao Comrade Ji Du】 Xiang Xuanqing.

Zhunti had the Innate Merit Golden Lotus in his hand, and Xiang Xuanqing's thinking was relatively broad; the two of them worked together to create this thing.

As for Heavenly Dao merit and the like.

The Primordial True Realm itself does not have a "Heavenly Dao," so of course, there is no Heavenly Dao merit.

Even Great Pangu's creation of the world did not have any division of creation merit.

At the beginning, Xiang Xuanqing even specifically calculated the so-called "First Defensive Supreme Treasure condensed from creation merit"—the Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

The result obtained was "No such treasure found."

This thing simply did not exist.

Later, Xiang Xuanqing also saw the scene of the world's creation and confirmed that there was no Mysterious Yellow Pagoda, nor any other merit holy artifacts.

However, in order to satisfy his collection hobby, Xiang Xuanqing still casually refined a Linglong Pagoda.

And because this was a spiritual treasure refined in his early years, it was too conventional, and now Xiang Xuanqing is embarrassed to use it.

So this led to the Linglong Pagoda still gathering dust in the Wu Cheng Tian Gong to this day.

"Hmm, Fellow Daoist's question is a good one."

Xiang Xuanqing looked at the gods with a smile: "A new feature is launched, so of course there must be something new!"

"So for the Heavenly Market Enclosure settlement system, we will use merit, true Mysterious Yellow merit!"

"Mysterious Yellow merit?" The gods were all curious.

【Exalted One Metal Yao Taibai】 Zhunti was even more surprised: "Did you really create such a thing?"

Going back eleven sessions, which was the last time Xiang Xuanqing was in charge of the Weiyuan Society, everyone cooperated to create many strange things and also proposed some very special concepts.

"Merit Value" was one of them, but the proposal of this concept did not mean that "merit" could be created.

Zhunti went back to study it himself and created the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

And the water in the Merit Pool indeed had effects on the user such as "purifying oneself," "blessing luck," "eliminating disasters and avoiding evil," "increasing cultivation," and so on.

However, this case is not representative or universal, because the Eight Treasures Merit Pool is essentially a byproduct created by Zhunti borrowing the Innate Merit Golden Lotus.

Without the Innate Merit Golden Lotus, you could say it's a pot of Eight Treasures Soup and it would be fine.

And the Dragon Clan's merit value, the focus is on "value," not "merit."

Zulong chose this term purely because it sounded good.

"That is of course."

Xiang Xuanqing tapped the pitch-black long table, and the clouds and mist surged. "Next, let me grandly introduce the research result that I have achieved after thirty-three Yuan eras since the establishment of the Weiyuan Society's Jia-Zi-Jiu plan, after picking up two Heavenly Daos and failing fourteen thousand five hundred and eighteen times—Merit Heavenly Dao!"

*Whoosh whoosh~~*

The clouds and mist unfolded like a scroll.

In a trance, the gods heard a burst of Great Dao mysterious sounds, deafening and enlightening.

"Yuan Yuan Sui Chu, Mang Mang Tai Shi, Qing Zhuo Tong Liu, Xuan Huang Cuo Zhi."

But seeing in the scroll, in the vast and endless world, before the separation of Yin and Yang, when the clear and the turbid had not yet separated, the ancestral Qi of Mysterious Yellow was intertwined, like the source point of the Great Dao, like the mysterious mechanism of all things not yet manifested.

Xiang Xuanqing extended two fingers, mimicking a sword stance of world creation, and slashed in the air.

In an instant, light burst forth, brilliant and world-shining, illuminating all chaos.

The world in the scroll began to evolve, Yin and Yang separated, the sky became clear and the earth became turbid.

Suddenly, the Xuanhuang ancestral Qi surged, and boundless Xuanhuang light descended from the vast time and space, vast and mighty, boundless and endless, filling the heaven and earth.

Then Xiang Xuanqing continued to act, the origin Qi of the Great Dao lingered between his palms, the brilliance of the laws burst forth in his hands, and endless rules and order were refined into the scroll by him.

After a while, Xiang Xuanqing reached into the scroll and pulled out a light sphere condensed from Xuanhuang ancestral Qi.

"Done!"

Xiang Xuanqing held the 【Merit Heavenly Dao】, his face carrying a smile: "It's been a long time since I've done something so conventional. It succeeded on the first try, not bad!"

Yuan means origin. Shi means beginning.

Without sect or superior, yet uniquely able to be the beginning of all things, hence the name Taiwei Yuan Shi Shi!

Xiang Xuanqing had many ideas in the past that could only be shelved.

But ever since condensing the status of 【Fu Li Taiwei Yuan Shi Shi Tian Zun】, his ability to cause trouble had greatly improved.

But these words fell into the ears of the gods, and everyone's feelings were different.

"So this is your fourteen thousand five hundred and nineteenth experiment! I saw you were so confident, I thought you already had results." On the first seat on the right, 【Exalted One Riyao Taiyang】 Taiyi complained mercilessly.

"Don't worry about which experiment it is, just tell me if it succeeded or not!"

Xiang Xuanqing said: "It succeeded on the first try; that's because I never do things I'm not sure about!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the Weiyuan Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di calculates everything without omission, all things and all causes are in the plan, how dare we ministers speak." 【Exalted One Muyao Suixing】 Hearing Fu Xi said sarcastically from the side.

"Congratulations to the Weiyuan Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di for achieving success after the fourteen thousand five hundred and eighteenth failure."

The gods clapped and celebrated very cooperatively, even deliberately emphasizing the syllables, intentionally highlighting Xiang Xuanqing's failure.

Looking at the skilled appearance of the Weiyuan gods, it was clearly not their first time performing.

Xiang Xuanqing sat at the head of the table happily, holding the 【Merit Heavenly Dao】, and said in a proper manner: "My dear ministers have such intentions, you should be rewarded!"

"Exalted One Muyao Suixing!"

"Minister is here!" Hearing Fu Xi responded with a grin.

"You uphold the ancestral Qi of wood, act with benevolence and harmony, and are in charge of virtue... You have merit in praising, and my heart is very comforted."

"Now I bestow upon you nine squares of Xuanhuang merit to show reward. I hope you will not forget your original intention, make persistent efforts, and praise more... You must be respectful."

Xiang Xuanqing raised his hand, and Xuanhuang light fell.

Hearing Fu Xi happily accepted the nine squares of Xuanhuang merit rewarded by Xiang Xuanqing, not forgetting to thank him.

"Minister thanks the Weiyuan Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di!"
