The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 223 Immeasurable merit
The strength and methods Shi Mo had already displayed had astonished everyone, but Qin Yun's sword strike that ignored the barriers of time and space made many people widen their eyes even more: "A top-tier Dao?"

"What?!" The powerful figures on the demonic path who were paying attention to the Great Chang World were even more shocked, and became both surprised and furious.

In this tiny world of Dachang, two such terrifying and promising Taoist experts have emerged. Compared to them, the Star Destroyer Venerable, who comprehended the Great Dao and barely unleashed the power of a top-tier Ancestral Demon, is nothing but trash!
They no longer cared about killing Shi Mo and seizing the Hundred-Foot Star Stone. Shi Mo and Qin Yun were now a big problem for the demonic path, and the threat would be even greater in the future.

Meanwhile, the Taoist, Buddhist, and Heavenly Court officials, along with numerous Golden Immortals and Buddhas, were equally shocked and excited.

"Haha, good, good!" In Biyou Palace, Lingbao Tianzun couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The pitiful Star Destroyer Venerable was no longer cared for. He was quickly devoured by Shi Mo's palm in despair, leaving only a pair of rock arms comparable to innate spiritual treasures.

The moment the Great Venerable Star Destroyer was killed, a massive amount of merit descended, and the entire Great Chang World and the starry sky were bathed in golden light.

After retracting his three-headed, six-armed supernatural powers and collecting the arm and innate spiritual treasures left behind by the Great Venerable of Extinction Star, Shi Mo, now imbued with merit, felt the power of merit in this world. His eyes gleamed with a strange light, just like the power of merit in the primordial world!

Merit was like rain and sea, endless and boundless, and Shi Mo absorbed it without hesitation, his skin glowing with golden light, as if he were to forge a golden body of merit.

Shi Mo's body-refining method tempers the physical body like a magic weapon, and after absorbing the power of merit, it naturally brings more benefits.

Great merit brings great fortune and is favored by heaven and earth, as if it has eight parts of assistance. When it makes a move, it can mobilize more power from heaven and earth, and its power will naturally be more terrifying.

Moreover, those with great merit and good fortune are more likely to encounter great opportunities.

At the same time, Qin Yun, who had swiftly and decisively killed the last few powerful demonic cultivators, also gained a considerable amount of merit.

Of course, compared to the deeply sinful and top-ranking sinners in the Three Realms, the merits bestowed upon the Demon Lords and Half-Step Ancestral Demons after their deaths were far less.

Having resolved their troubles, Shi Mo and Qin Yun also arrived together in the starry sky outside the Great Chang World to thank Erlang Shen and Nezha.

Although they didn't get involved, they did bring people to help, so it's not appropriate to neglect them.

The group of Arhat generals also offered their congratulations to Shi Mo and Qin Yun with great enthusiasm and respect.

After all, although there are many powerful beings in the Three Realms, there are not many who have mastered the top Dao, and each one of them is enough to awe the Three Realms.

"You, a mere Nascent Soul Sword Immortal, have actually comprehended a top-tier Dao, comparable to mine! Amazing! Amazing! You're truly a prodigy!" Nezha, the Third Prince, stared at Qin Yun with some amazement.

Erlang Shen Yang Jian, standing to the side, looked at Shi Mo: "This innate wonder has attained spiritual enlightenment and his comprehension is so terrifying. It seems that he has already comprehended more than one Great Dao. His potential is probably no less than Qin Yun's, and perhaps even more outstanding."

“The Biyou Palace lineage is blessed with good fortune. Now that this matter is settled, we shall take our leave,” Yang Jian said with a smile, and then left with Nezha.

After a great battle, the entire world of Dachang was in an uproar.

Looking down at the world below from high above, Shi Mo, with a smile on his face, suddenly looked at Shi Mo beside him and asked, "Senior Brother, that Star Stone is connected to the Great Chang World, and your original body..."

“I will separate a piece about ten feet in size and transform it into an avatar to remain in the Great Chang World. He will stay in the Great Chang World forever to oversee it,” Shi Mo said. This immediately made Qin Yun and Shenxiao Daoist overjoyed: “Great! From now on, Great Chang will be worry-free!”

Even if Shi Mo's clone is just a clone, it is not afraid of dealing with someone of the level of the Star Destroyer Venerable. Where else in the Three Realms can you find such a freak? A great being cannot descend into a small world in his true form.

“In that case, I can rest assured even if I leave the Great Chang World in the future,” Qin Yun said with a smile.

As they were talking, Shi Mo and Qin Yun, who had received a telepathic summons from Lingbao Tianzun, also activated the Dao talismans in their palms and went to Biyou Palace to see Lingbao Tianzun.

"With Shi Mo and Qin Yun's potential, they will definitely become the most powerful beings in the Three Realms in the future," Shenxiao Daoist murmured to himself, completely relaxing before flying towards Shenxiao Sect: "Next, I can slowly perfect the Shenxiao Thunder Technique."

Wherever Shi Mo and Qin Yun went, the disciples of Biyou Palace respectfully addressed them as "Senior Brother."

In the main hall of Biyou Palace, Lingbao Tianzun looked at Shi Mo and Qin Yun who walked in from outside with a big smile on his face. He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

With two such prodigious disciples at once, he felt increasingly pleased, recalling the envy of Laozi and Yuanshi.

"Qin Yun, your current cultivation level is high enough. I believe it won't be difficult for you to create a sword immortal technique at the Heavenly Immortal level. You'll have plenty of time to slowly study sword immortal techniques at the Golden Immortal level, and comprehend the Great Dao more. I believe you'll have a chance to reach the Great Dao Perfection level in the future."

Lingbao Tianzun then looked at Shi Mo with an even deeper smile: "Shi Mo, you have already comprehended many Great Daos. Your potential is so high that you may even reach the Heavenly Dao Realm in the future. Cultivate diligently and strive to reach the Great Dao Perfection level as soon as possible."

"Break through to become a Golden Immortal as soon as possible! That way, your enlightenment will be much easier," Lingbao Tianzun clearly had high hopes for Shi Mo.

Shi Mo then glanced at Qin Yun beside him and said, "Master, before I break through to become a Golden Immortal, I would like to do something with Junior Brother Qin Yun."

"Master, I plan to go with my senior brother to sweep through the demonic lairs in many territories of the Three Realms," Qin Yun said.

"Sweep away the demonic lair?" Lingbao Tianzun was slightly startled and couldn't help but say, "The demonic path has infiltrated many territories, painstakingly setting up lairs one by one, with a very large impact. Destroying them is indeed a great act of merit that benefits many territories. But to destroy the demonic path's layout in many territories in an instant is far more impactful than killing a star-destroying being; it is an act that completely offends the demonic path."

"Since we're destined to be enemies, what's the point of offending each other? We've already broken off relations since the conflict between Dao and Demon, haven't we? Why let go of such an opportunity to earn merit?" Shi Mo said indifferently.

Seeing Shi Mo's sharp and assertive demeanor, Lingbao Tianzun, who had been stunned for a moment, couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Haha, good, it seems I've been overthinking things. You young people are much more decisive!"

"Since you've made up your mind, then go for it! Even if the Demon Ancestor tries to stop you, we Heavenly Dao Realm experts will stand in your way," said Lingbao Tianzun, a hint of anticipation in his voice. The entire Three Realms were about to undergo a dramatic transformation!
Qin Yun's magical power was still somewhat lacking, so just in case, Lingbao Tianzun directly lent him his personal innate treasure, the Qingping Sword, for protection.

As for Shi Mo, his physical body is probably comparable to a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, and his strength and realm are even stronger, so there is naturally nothing to worry about; he has almost no weaknesses.

The innate treasure is no ordinary thing; it is like a chaotic world evolving within it, and the Dao it contains is incomparable to the Great Dao.

To prevent the demonic forces from disregarding their status and shame, Lingbao Tianzun also bestowed protective treasures upon Qin Yun's wife and children. Once everything was prepared, Shi Mo's main body and his clone, along with Qin Yun, split into three groups and began sweeping through the demonic forces' lairs across the many territories of the Three Realms.

The Dark Cloud Demon Realm is the lair established by the demonic forces in the Bright Radiance Domain. It is based on this that some celestial demons have been able to infiltrate and occupy more small worlds in the Bright Radiance Domain.

Besides the Dark Cloud Demon Lord, whose strength rivals that of a Great Power, there are some half-step Ancestral Demon experts, a group of Ninth Heavenly Demons, and even more ordinary Heavenly Demons.

Boom! A terrifying power erupted, and Qin Yun, who had torn through space and time to arrive here, spotted the Dark Cloud Demon Lord in the distance with a single glance. Without a word, he summoned his flying sword.
"Destroy!" Qin Yun shouted, and instantly, countless sword energies rained down, annihilating a large number of demons. His natal flying sword pierced through the void and attacked Dark Cloud Demon Lord, causing the void to collapse and Dark Cloud Demon Lord to vanish into thin air in an instant.

Meanwhile, many powerful beings in the Three Realms seemed to sense it, and the ancestral demons of the Dark Abyss were even more shocked and enraged.

However, Qin Yun ignored them and forcibly opened a space-time passage, heading to another demonic lair in a distant territory.

At the same time, Shi Mo's main body and clones also made their move. Their actions were even more secretive and effortless. Shi Mo, who silently controlled space and time, easily froze the small world space where the demonic lair was located, causing the bodies and primordial spirits of the demons who were unable to resist to collapse.

Without much fanfare, a large number of Heavenly Demons and Demon Gods in the demonic lairs were wiped out, and even the treasures they left behind were quietly taken away by Shi Mo.

The powerful beings of the Dark Abyss were enraged, but Shi Mo and Qin Yun didn't care. They continued to kill and gain a lot of merit. Shi Mo merged the merit into himself, while Qin Yun poured all the power of merit into his natal flying sword.

Among them, Shi Mo, because he controls spacetime, does not need to spend time opening spacetime channels, so he can act faster.

The Dark Abyss had no choice but to contact some Demon Lords who were stationed in their respective demonic lairs through causal communication, urging them to escape as soon as possible.

However, Shi Mo and Qin Yun, working together, managed to kill eight Demon Lords who were unable to escape back to the Dark Abyss in a short period of time.

The ancestral demons of the Dark Abyss were anxious but helpless, and could only place their hopes on the methods of the Demon Ancestor.

The powerful figures of Taoism and Buddhism were greatly excited and thrilled. Even the Three Pure Ones, Buddha, and Nuwa were very satisfied and in high spirits, while keeping a closer eye on the Demon Ancestor.

In one of the small worlds where the demonic lair was located, Shi Mo, who had just finished his slaughter and was about to leave, turned his head as if sensing something. He saw a figure emanating a terrifying aura of destruction appear in the void outside.

He seemed to be the embodiment of destruction; his mere aura was enough to instill fear. He was the Destruction Body, one of the three incarnations of the Demon Ancestor.

The Demon Ancestor looked at Shi Mo with curiosity, his eyes, filled with destruction, filled with doubt: "Who exactly are you?"

"Demon Ancestor?" Shi Mo looked at the other party with interest, seemingly unaffected, and couldn't help but laugh, "If you can't do anything to me, why bother showing yourself and talking nonsense?"

“If I could kill you, I wouldn’t need to waste words with you,” the Demon Ancestor said with sharp, cold eyes. “It seems you truly have no ties and no fears! No wonder you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me!”

"Insolence?" Shi Mo laughed: "You're just a slightly larger ant in this world. How much scenery have you seen? You're like a frog in a well. You can only be arrogant and conceited in this Three Realms."

The Demon Ancestor's aura suddenly became even more terrifying: "What exactly is your origin?"

"A fool who's courting death doesn't need to know so much," Shi Mo sneered and shook his head before charging directly towards another demonic lair.

The Demon Ancestor's Destruction Body silently stayed outside this small world for a long time. His uncontrollable aura also made the Three Pure Ones and Tathagata somewhat surprised and suspicious. They wondered what Shi Mo had said that could stimulate him like this.
On the other side, even the Demon Ancestor's daughter couldn't stop Qin Yun. In the end, all the lair built by the demonic forces infiltrating the Three Realms was breached, and a large number of arrays and foundations were destroyed and taken away.

A large number of demons and gods fled their small world lair, but the Taoist Heavenly Court and Buddhist sects also arranged forces to intercept and kill them. In the end, only a portion of them were lucky enough to escape.

After that, Shi Mo and Qin Yun not only raided the nests, but also the small demonic worlds.

The ancestral demons went to great lengths to save them, but powerful figures from Taoism, Buddhism, and the Heavenly Court also tried to obstruct them.

Shi Mo and Qin Yun fought for almost half an hour, killing countless people and gaining a massive amount of merit. They have both returned to the Great Chang World, and even more merit will continue to pour in.

After all, as various factions reclaim those small worlds occupied by the demonic path and continue to annihilate the demonic demons and gods, Shi Mo and Qin Yun will also be able to share in the merits.

The merits that Shi Mo and Qin Yun gained were equivalent to, and even more than, the merits they would have gained from killing two Star Destroyer Venerables.

Afterwards, Shi Mo and Qin Yun went to Biyou Palace to see Lingbao Tianzun again, and it was also the first time they met Lishan Laomu, the eldest sister of the Biyou Palace lineage.

"What you have done this time is of immeasurable merit. Have you thought about what you want?" Lingbao Tianzun smiled as he looked at his two proud disciples. Disciples of the Biyou Palace lineage who achieve the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit will all receive a reward.

Moreover, given the immense contributions of Shi Mo and Qin Yun, Lingbao Tianzun wouldn't mind incurring a significant loss.

If Shi Mo and Qin Yun can reach the Golden Immortal Perfection level or even the Heavenly Dao Realm in the future, then all his efforts will be worthwhile.

Qin Yun wanted a rare innate artifact to nurture his natal flying sword, while Shi Mo didn't care. Good things were always welcome, and any treasure would be useful in his hands.

In the end, Lingbao Tianzun, who was both amused and exasperated, could only make an exception and bring out some of his own treasures for him to choose from, but he only bestowed upon him a treasure equivalent to the value of a top-tier innate spiritual treasure.

After all, there are so many disciples in the Biyou Palace lineage, no matter how many treasures they have, it's not enough to bestow upon them all. Even if Lingbao Tianzun values ​​Shi Mo highly, there can't be no limit to the bestowal of various resources.

The old mother of Lishan clearly saw Lingbao Tianzun's favoritism towards Shi Mo, but she felt no envy or jealousy, and simply watched with a smile.

She has already reached the pinnacle of the Great Dao, and only innate treasures can move her heart. Even top-tier innate spiritual treasures are of little value to her.

At the level of the Old Mother of Lishan, the key is to comprehend more perfect Daos and break through to the Heavenly Dao Realm; other resources and treasures are not of much use.
