Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Amidst the golden rain, three beams of merit—one large and two small—shot out from the auspicious clouds like three giant golden dragons.

The first golden light of merit, the thickest and most robust, accounting for about 70% of the total merit, crashed straight down towards Lieshan.

The other two beams of golden light, each accounting for 20% and 10% respectively, fell towards Shouyang Mountain next door.

At this moment, all the powerful beings in the world who were paying attention to this matter were filled with doubt.

It's not about the magnitude of the merit, but about how the merit is distributed.

"The Lieshan Clan only obtained 70%?" A quasi-saint level being frowned deeply. "Shouyang Mountain... could it be that the Taiqing Sage was involved?"

In the void, another quasi-saint's voice rang out: "A saint is impossible? It should be a saint's disciple who made the move. Isn't his teacher, Duobao, still in Shouyang Mountain?"

A voice rang out, "Two have fallen into Shouyang Mountain. Besides Duobao, could it be Xuandu? But he is already Fuxi's teacher; he shouldn't be involved."

"Don't forget, everyone, there's also the Yellow Dragon."

The group of quasi-saints suddenly realized, and then asked in confusion, "But Huanglong did not make a move in what Lieshan did."

"That Huanglong has already broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, and he possesses the inheritance of a Saint, spiritual treasures, and supernatural powers—he has everything. It would be easy for him to evade our detection."

Upon hearing this, the void fell silent, and all the Quasi-Saints fell silent.

At this moment, the thickest golden light of merit had descended to within three feet of Lieshan's head.

Suddenly, Lieshan moved.

He flipped his right hand, and a book radiating golden light appeared in his palm.

It was the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that recorded the properties and effects of countless medicinal herbs.

Superior Acquired Merit Treasure.

At this moment, Lieshan brought out the "Compendium of Materia Medica," and as the pages turned, they suddenly burst forth with boundless golden light.

The golden light of merit descended from the sky and poured into the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

hum! ! !

The Herbal Classic trembled violently, its pages turning rapidly, each page frantically absorbing the power of merit.

The words in the book shone with golden light, and the illustrations of the medicinal herbs came to life, as if they were about to jump off the page.

The powerful beings in the void stared at Lieshan in shock.

"What is he doing!"

"It's already a top-grade merit-based spiritual treasure, isn't that enough?"

"If you don't want merit, you can give it to me. This much merit is enough to create another merit-based spiritual treasure."

"This...doesn't he want merit anymore? So much merit is enough for him to attain the Great Luo Immortal realm!"

No matter how shocked these great beings were, the endless stream of merit continued to flow into the Materia Medica.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica," which was originally a superior treasure of merit and virtue, began to transform into an ultimate treasure of acquired virtue.

Just then, the merit that was flying towards Shouyang Mountain made a turn outside Shouyang Mountain.

It flew straight toward the "Compendium of Materia Medica".

This scene caused countless powerful figures to widen their eyes in astonishment.

"Is it Duobao or Huanglong! They've given up their share of merit!"

"Heavenly virtue and merit, you just give it up like that? What audacity!"

"It should be Huanglong, with many treasures, but it is lacking in merit."

"No, it's not a matter of spirit. Huanglong probably realized that the Lieshan clan needs more merit to allow the 'Compendium of Materia Medica' to complete its final transformation. He's doing this to help others achieve their goals."

The two beams of golden light of merit merged, and the transforming "Compendium of Materia Medica" suddenly surged in power, breaking through its bottleneck.

boom!!!

A ray of light, even more dazzling than before, burst forth from the "Compendium of Materia Medica," shooting straight into the sky and overshadowing the rosy clouds.

The light lasted for several breaths before slowly receding.

When the light faded, what appeared before everyone was still that herbal classic.

However, the book cover originally only had the three characters "Ben Cao Jing" (本草经).

And now, next to those three characters, two more large characters have appeared...!

Shennong.

Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica.

The five characters, set against the backdrop of merit, shone with golden light, each radiating a chilling aura of power.

In terms of power, a top-grade acquired merit treasure is no less powerful than a top-grade innate treasure.

When the auspicious clouds of merit dissipated, the Shennong Materia Medica returned to Lieshan's hands, merging with the Dao of Lieshan's own aura.

The next moment, Lieshan's three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit suddenly trembled, faintly about to bloom.

At the same time, the sound of flowing river water and surging waves echoed in the void.

Above Lieshan, a long river appeared, stretching out from the void.

The river of time!

Upon hearing the sound of water and seeing the illusory river, both the numerous quasi-saints who were watching and the various races based on humanity outside of it felt a sense of terror.

This successor of the human emperor used his vast merits to evolve spiritual treasures, yet he still had to break through to the Great Luo realm.

Clearly, Lieshan's comprehension of the Great Dao had already surpassed the Great Luo realm, but he had been consolidating the foundation of the Great Dao, which was why he had not yet broken through!

"It's time."

Lieshan looked up into the depths of the void, where a river flowed.

A tributary of the river of time.

It is not wide, about a hundred feet, and the river appears illusory.

The river flows ceaselessly, its sound unlike the gurgling of an ordinary river, but rather like the whispers of millions of people.

His true spirit was separated from his body.

Following the faint call from the depths of the river of time.

There lies his "past".

He also has a "future".

The true spirit of Lieshan, carrying the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica," traveled along a tributary of the river of time to the surface of the river of time.

He stepped on a wave.

He saw his past self upstream in the river of time.

Red clouds.

A primordial, sacred being, the first cloud at the dawn of creation.

That old ancestor Hongyun, who obtained the opportunity to become a saint from the Primordial Purple Qi, still wandered around aimlessly.

That unlucky guy who was surrounded and killed by Kunpeng, Dijun, and Taiyi, and ultimately perished.

"I am not Hongyun."

The true spirit of Lieshan spoke calmly through the river of time.

"I am Lieshan."

The river water suddenly boiled.

The past Hongyun, the present Lieshan, the future Shennong... all converge and unite in the long river of time.

As figures flew in from the river of time, the Great Luo Three Flowers of Lieshan slowly bloomed.

Originally just a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal True Spirit, it is now like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, advancing towards a higher level.

As the true spirit of Lieshan underwent its transformation, waves surged on the river of time, and figures appeared on its surface.

In the void, countless thoughts were silently communicating.

"Lieshan is breaking through."

"When all the heavens unite, the Great Luo will be formed."

"The human race will give birth to a second Human Emperor, a second Quasi-Saint."

"Make a move?"

These voices came from all over the primordial world, but without exception, they all harbored considerable hatred towards the human race or Hongyun.

They usually harbor their own thoughts and even attack each other, but now they have gathered here for the same reason.

human race.

This race, once the weakest among all races, was once used as food by the demon race, and struggled to survive among all races.

They have now grown into one of the most powerful races in the primordial world.

The Human Emperor Fuxi is already a quasi-sage. If another Human Emperor and another quasi-sage are added, will the myriad races of the prehistoric world still have a future?

The true spirit of Lieshan, at this moment, gathers its past and future forms on the river of time.

Destroying this true spirit would deprive the human race of its second sub-saint, thus maintaining the status quo of the power structure in the prehistoric world.

At this moment, a wave suddenly surged up in the river of time, crashing straight towards the spirit of Lieshan.

"What are you all waiting for?"
