Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 333 Merit and Divine Power, Sage's Miraculous Phenomenon, Light of Heaven, Grand Feast of Noble Families, Qin Dynasty's Ying Family

In less than ten years, more than 70% of the calamity that had shrouded the entire human race had dissipated. This meant that nearly 70% of the Nine Provinces had returned to normal and the drought had been resolved.

Although the remaining 30% has not yet been resolved, this will only take a few years. Compared to previous droughts that lasted at least a century, the problem has been solved in just a few decades, which is remarkably fast.

Meanwhile, Di Xiao, the instigator, is now accumulating merits endlessly.

Every so often, a merit would arrive. The arrival of this merit meant that a drought in a certain area had been resolved.

"My lord, more merit has descended upon us." Wu Meiniang massaged Di Xiao's shoulders, her gentle voice filled with pride. The one who was constantly receiving merit was none other than her husband.

Di Xiao casually accepted the merit, and looking at the "Five Grains of Merit" which had evolved into a top-grade acquired merit treasure, he couldn't help but shake his head: "The merit is ultimately not enough. It only made the Five Grains of Merit evolve from high-grade to top-grade. How long will it take to transform it into a supreme merit treasure?"

"Young Master Di Xiao, your ability to obtain a top-grade merit treasure so quickly is enough to make countless cultivators envious. You should know that the most ancient human clan, Suirenshi, spent hundreds of millions of years gradually evolving their merit treasures into supreme treasures. And you, in such a short time, have already obtained a top-grade one." Bai Suzhen said with envy, even though she had received countless merits thanks to Di Xiao's help.

However, compared to Di Xiao's gains this time, what she obtained was ultimately less. Looking at the top-grade merit-based spiritual treasure, the Reincarnation Five Grains, and the mid-grade merit-based spiritual treasure, the Curved Axe Farming Tool, in Di Xiao's hands, her envious gaze lingered!

Both treasures of merit evolved completely, and Emperor Xiao himself also gained vast merit.

Now, the accumulated merits have transformed into clouds and rosy light, making Emperor Xiao appear incomparably sacred.

Sensing the profound mysteries of merit, Di Xiao pointed his finger: "Su Zhen is right. My merit-based spiritual treasure can slowly evolve, and I believe it will one day transform into a supreme merit treasure. However, I don't know what to do with the merit I've accumulated. Should I directly refine it to enhance my cultivation? Or should I integrate it into my spiritual treasure to accelerate its evolution? Or perhaps cultivate some merit-based divine abilities!"

Di Xiao couldn't immediately figure out how to deal with the merits he had accumulated. Although he had gained quite a bit of merit before, it wasn't much, and since it was stored within his body, he hadn't paid much attention to it.

Now that he has accumulated too much merit, it's time to find a way to make use of it. So over the years, Di Xiao has come to understand a little about how to utilize merit. However, he is somewhat wary of how to use it. After all, many records from later generations show that merit has both advantages and disadvantages.

Di Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Suzhen. Years of contact, the accumulation of merit, and the misunderstanding of that year had made the relationship between Di Xiao and Bai Suzhen better and closer.

Su Zhen, sensing Di Xiao's slightly questioning gaze, smiled gently. She naturally understood the meaning behind his question and brushed a strand of her hair aside: "Young Master Di Xiao, the uses of merit are boundless. However, it's best not to use merit to enhance one's cultivation, as this is the most superficial way to utilize it. While refining merit into spiritual treasures is also a good option, Young Master Di Xiao already possesses two such treasures."

"Therefore, I suggest that Young Master Dixiao cultivate the power of merit through accumulating merit. Use the power of merit to enhance your own fortune, and incidentally develop some trump cards."

"Merit-based supernatural powers?" Di Xiao was starting to have a headache, because among the supernatural powers he had come into contact with, there really were no merit-based supernatural powers.

Su Zhen could naturally see Di Xiao's embarrassment, so she took out a jade slip that she had prepared beforehand: "Su Zhen was able to obtain so much merit this time, thanks to Young Master Di Xiao. And these merits and supernatural powers are hereby bestowed upon Young Master Di Xiao."

Without any hesitation, Di Xiao accepted the jade slip. The merits and supernatural powers imprinted within it were then absorbed into Di Xiao's mind.

Su Zhen then continued, "Young Master Di Xiao, the merits and supernatural powers in this primordial world can be categorized as follows: the Taoist supernatural power, the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds; the Buddhist supernatural power, the Wisdom Buddha Light; the Heavenly Court's supernatural power, the Nine Heavens Auspicious Clouds; and the human race's supernatural power, the Sage's Extraordinary Phenomena."

"All four of these supernatural powers require merit to cultivate. Once cultivated, one can use the accumulated merit to unleash various merit-based supernatural powers. For example, there is the merit-based supernatural power of Heavenly Punishment, which burns merit to communicate with heaven and earth and bring down heavenly tribulations. Or there is the merit-based supernatural power of Merit Opportunity, which burns merit to exchange for fortune and opportunities. In short, all merit-based supernatural powers are contained in the jade slip. Young Master Di Xiao should study them carefully. Of course, I still suggest that you cultivate the sage-like phenomena of the human race."

As Di Xiao listened to Bai Suzhen's description, he gradually came to understand the power of merit. He then discovered that the essence of the power of merit in Buddhism, Taoism, the Heavenly Court, and the human race was similar. They all used special methods to condense merit into form, and then displayed the many characteristics and mysteries of merit.

For example, the supernatural power of the three religions - the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds - is formed by a special method of intertwining merits and virtues, creating something resembling colorful clouds. Within these colorful clouds, the myriad realms of the heavens can be opened up, and the light of auspicious clouds can also descend, making the user immune to all laws.

For example, the Buddhist supernatural power, the Buddha's light, is formed by the intertwining of merit with Buddhist teachings, condensing into a halo-like object that surrounds Buddhist practitioners. This halo contains the power of salvation and can enhance the wisdom of Buddhist practitioners.

The Heavenly Court's divine power, Nine Heavens Auspicious Clouds, contains ethereal celestial music and auspicious energy, capable of bestowing blessings upon mortals. It also possesses boundless majesty, giving the feeling of divine authority descending.

On the contrary, the characteristics of human merit-based supernatural powers vary depending on the person who condenses them. For example, a human emperor can condense human emperor phenomena through merit, displaying imperial majesty. For example, a cultivator of military arts can condense military phenomena, displaying the mysteries of military arts.

After cultivating their own meritorious phenomena or methods, they can evolve merit-based supernatural powers. The essence of these powers is consuming merit to communicate with heaven and earth and achieve certain goals. After all, merit is an experience bestowed upon those who have performed meritorious deeds by heaven and earth; by expending merit, one can naturally request heaven and earth to do things for them. For example, consuming merit can cause heaven and earth to send down a heavenly tribulation to kill enemies. Or, merit can be consumed to transform into fortune or opportunity.

It can be said that the benefits of accumulating merit are boundless. No wonder the major powers send their disciples to the human race to seek out merit.

Emperor Xiao's mind was stirred. As he comprehended the truth, he burned his wisdom and evolved his own method of merit.

[Your extraordinary comprehension, combined with your understanding of merit and supernatural powers, weaving together numerous scriptures and integrating various methods, has ultimately evolved into three merit and supernatural powers suited to you.]

[Firstly, the supernatural power of "Enjoying the Cool Shade Under the Rice Plants." This is a meritorious phenomenon that evolves by weaving one's own merit into new grain seeds and farming tools. It can merge with two merit-based spiritual treasures, accelerating their evolution, and can also multiply the grain yield within one's surrounding area.]

Secondly, the Divine War God Record. By weaving merit into the path of battle, a War God is formed. This War God can enhance and restrain one's fighting spirit, evolve combat techniques, and increase one's overall strength!

[Thirdly, the Divine Power - Light of Heaven. This is a special method evolved from Emperor Xiao's innate Heaven-Mending Dao Body. It allows for better communication with Heaven and Earth, consuming less merit while achieving greater effects when unleashing divine powers of Heaven and Earth.]
