Chapter 434 The Opportunity to Steal Heaven, the Body of Merit

The moment Chen Xu re-entered the mural of the Great Li Kingdom.

On Xiaofeng Mountain, Mr. Zhou, who was painting a picture of a bamboo forest, suddenly stopped.

He looked up at the sky, his right hand still holding the brush.

The ugly monkey that had been guarding him suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up along with him.

The ugly monkey exclaimed, "Master, what's that noise?"

What's going on?
White clouds drifted across the sky, the sun hung halfway up, and an occasional autumn breeze stirred, causing the clouds to gather and disperse.

There seemed to be some exciting story unfolding in those ever-changing clouds, or perhaps there was nothing at all.

After all, the rolling and unfolding of clouds is a common sight.

What could it be?

To an ordinary person, everything in the sky at this moment would seem quite ordinary.

But at this moment, Ugly Monkey is facing Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou said with a slight sigh, "He's back."

Who's back?

It's naturally Chen Xu!
At this moment, as Mr. Zhou sees it.

Within those ever-changing clouds, there is actually a vast amount of merit that is invisible to the naked eye, surging, boiling, and surging toward a certain goal.

The central figure in this meritorious deed was Chen Xu.

He has returned from beyond the borders!

The ugly monkey also looked up at the sky, its tone a mixture of envy and jealousy.

"This child is truly lucky. With such a vast amount of merit, he will probably be able to extend his life by at least a hundred years."

They could even create a protective golden statue for him!
With this protective golden body, it will be difficult for those guys to scheme against him.

It's because you're so kind, sir. He went outside and caused so much merit to accumulate in the sky, but you didn't even bother to collect it.

They actually kept it for him... Ha, if all this merit were put out there, those guys would probably have half their brains splattered out, wouldn't they?"

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhou suddenly raised the hand that was holding the pen and gently touched the ugly monkey's forehead.

With a stroke of the brush, a blot of ink, resembling pine soot, was placed on the center of the ugly monkey's forehead.

The ugly monkey was already ugly, but with this black blob on its head, it became even uglier.

"Master!" Ugly Monkey felt wronged. He quickly covered his forehead with his hand and looked at Mr. Zhou with accusing eyes.

But then Mr. Zhou sighed and said, "The path of ascending to immortality through merit has long been abandoned."

Monkey, you are still stuck in the past, unaware that the cycle of time has turned and today is not yesterday.

The process of refining merit is incredibly difficult; how could it possibly be as simple and straightforward as plundering?

The ugly monkey blinked and couldn't help but urge Mr. Zhou, "Then... sir, shall we plunder one too?"

When Mr. Zhou picked up his pen this time, he suddenly pointed to the sparse hair on the ugly monkey's mouth.

brush!
A golden light flashed, and the ink blob sealed the monkey's mouth. The ugly monkey stammered and could no longer speak.

Mr. Zhou said, "You've entertained another delusional thought. This time, you're punished by being silenced for thirty days."

The ugly monkey made random noises and scratched its ears and cheeks, but it was helpless because it was silenced and couldn't utter a single word.

It was so anxious that its entire monkey face turned red and purple, as if a pot of boiling water was being boiled on its face.

But then Mr. Zhou picked up his brush again and drew a slanted line in the sky.

His brushstrokes are ethereal; each stroke seems to be set against the backdrop of the sky and the world.

Painting in the void, the brushstrokes leave no trace.

But with each stroke he added, the clouds in the sky seemed to multiply inexplicably.

Behind the clouds, the blazing sun seemed to be getting closer and closer to the earth.

The ugly monkey stood beside him, speechless, but its entire body trembled with excitement.

"Uuuuuuu..."

He meant to say: Master, Master, what are you doing... what are you doing...

Mr. Zhou is helping Chen Xu gather the merits of heaven and earth that have not yet had time to converge on him. This is naturally to lend Chen Xu a helping hand.

At the same time, Mr. Zhou is using unpredictable and grand methods to shorten the distance between the Sun Star and this world!
If this action were to be revealed, I'm afraid no one in this world would understand it.

However, the ugly monkey knew that the pull of the sun star would inevitably have two major impacts on this world.

Firstly, the concentration of spiritual energy in this realm will gradually increase.

Of course, this kind of growth will inevitably be slow and protracted, and need not be elaborated upon further.

Another impact is that the movement of the Sun Star will inevitably attract the attention of certain figures in the outside world.

In this way, not to mention whether Mr. Zhou will be in danger, the chances of the Great Li Kingdom being discovered by certain figures from outside the region will definitely increase!
At the same time, if Chen Xu, who came from Dali Kingdom, were to go to the outer regions again, the chances of him being discovered would naturally be amplified.

The ugly monkey turned its head and looked at Mr. Zhou in shock.

It's incomprehensible why he would act so contradictoryly now, when he had previously used magic to protect Chen Xu for a while.
But to say that he was harming Chen Xu doesn't seem quite right.

The ugly monkey scratched its head in frustration, whimpering incessantly, desperately seeking an explanation from Mr. Zhou.

But Mr. Zhou said, "Don't worry, with such a huge amount of merit protecting you, they won't be able to find out about young friend Chen."

After saying this, Mr. Zhou paused.

A faint smile suddenly appeared on his withered face:

“But monkey, the fact that you care about young friend Chen shows that... you are not as evil as you seem.”

As he spoke, he finished his final stroke.

But then, the clouds in the sky seemed to unfurl and roll, and suddenly, an invisible, clear light seemed to emanate from the entire sky.

At this moment, if someone could stand in the sky and look down on the whole world.

Then one can perceive that the clear light is radiating outwards from the entire world in a fan shape.

Even after the clear light shot out into the sky, it did not stop.

They then pierced through the ancient cave to find a mural that had existed for an unknown period of time.

Finally, Qingguang flew out of the desolate rock mountain.

It rushed towards the sun, which also hung high in the sky above the Xuan Tian Star Realm!
The sun emitted an invisible vibration, from which a spiritual storm, imperceptible to ordinary people, swirled and raged.

In a short while, it swallowed up several small celestial bodies surrounding the Sun.

This then led to a variety of strange phenomena.

For example, a meteor falling from the sky.

The Abyss Tsunami.

Within the Gate of Cataclysm, demons rage, and rare treasures emerge.

And so came countless more battles, which I won't go into detail about.

Speaking only of the vast and boundless Xuan Tian Star Realm, within the many realms, at the center of those immortal cities—

For example, in the Jade Palace of Canglan Immortal City, which comes from the main hall of the Dan Ding Sect, an ancient bell suddenly rang.

For example, in the Kunlun Mirror Sea, within the Sword Tomb, a celestial sword suddenly hummed, trembling as if about to take flight.

Within those incredibly ancient caves, it seemed as if creatures were awakening from their slumber, uttering hazy, inquiring voices:

What calendar is used tonight?

What has awakened me from my dream?

"Could it be... that the chance to achieve immortality has finally arrived?"

In a certain part of the sky within the Xuan Tian Star Realm, a startled cry rang out from deep within the clouds:

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! This is a chance to steal the heavens' favor! Quickly perform divination; we cannot afford to miss it!"

……

All the turmoil seemed both right before our eyes and incredibly far away.

Mr. Zhou put down his pen and smiled slightly.

No one noticed that a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his lips, and his already withered face seemed to become even more dry.
