Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Heavenly merits will completely submerge Xuandu!

Amidst the golden light, Xuan Du's figure slowly floated up, his green robes fluttering and his black hair dancing wildly.

He was surrounded by countless brilliant golden rays of merit, each ray containing the ultimate truth of the Heavenly Way.

A vast and powerful aura spread out, and although it did not have the overwhelming power of a sage, it still instilled a sense of awe in all things.

"It's actually the merit of Heaven's Dao... on such a scale..."

Xuan Du's mind was shaken as he felt the warm, peaceful, yet boundless power of merit surrounding him.

But there was no joy in his heart; instead, alarm bells rang loudly!

He walks the path of Hunyuan!

Transcending the laws of nature, it establishes its own laws, relying on nothing external and without seeking merit!

If one were to accept this vast Heavenly Dao merit at this moment, wouldn't that be going against one's own path of Hunyuan Dao?

Merit is wonderful; it can help one cultivate, solidify one's foundation, and make one immune to all laws and unaffected by karma.

However, once one is infused with it, one will form a deeper karmic bond with the Heavenly Dao, and one's own Dao fruit will inevitably be tainted by the mark of the Heavenly Dao.

The difficulty of truly transcending these limitations in the future will increase exponentially.

Moreover... this merit comes from his creation of human martial arts, and it must contain the will to guide humankind to conform to the Way of Heaven.

If he accepts, will the future development of human martial arts be unknowingly incorporated into the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao's plan?

Then wouldn't his efforts today to seize a glimmer of hope for humanity have become a joke?

"We can't accept it!"

Xuan Du's eyes sharpened, and he made a decision in an instant.

The primordial power within his body surged forth, and his intermediate-level Chaos Demon God foundation was fully activated. Clear and ethereal immortal light shone brightly around him, attempting to expel the golden light of merit that had flooded into his body.

"Buzz!"

The primordial Daoist energy and the golden light of merit collided violently on his body, emitting a deep rumble that shook the surrounding void.

However, the merits of Heaven are the highest blessings bestowed by the primordial world, containing the original will of Heaven, and cannot be easily resisted.

Moreover, this is a merit bestowed by Heaven specifically for this purpose.

The longer we delay, the deeper our integration will become!

"It must be dealt with immediately!"

Xuan Du pondered in his heart, his gaze sweeping over the billions of human beings below.

A thought flashed through my mind!

Condensing the Heavenly Monument of Martial Arts!

With this supreme merit, may we forge a priceless heirloom for the human race!

This way, one can immediately get rid of this hot potato and avoid having one's own path tainted by the mark of the Heavenly Dao.

It can also leave behind a supreme treasure for the human race, allowing them to pass on their martial arts traditions.

This saves him the time of teaching one by one with the three ancestors, allowing billions of people to embark on the path of martial arts in the shortest possible time!

Killing two birds with one stone!

With his thoughts settled, Xuandu no longer hesitated.

He no longer resisted the influx of golden light of merit; instead, he actively absorbed it.

"boom!"

More golden light of merit surged wildly into his body.

However, Xuandu did not guide it to integrate into its own Dao foundation.

Instead, it uses the power of primordial chaos as a furnace, vast merits as materials, and its own complete understanding of martial arts as a catalyst!

"Freeze!"

Xuandu gave a low shout and formed a profound hand seal.

The surging, roaring golden light of merit within his body was drawn in and began to converge wildly between his hands!

The dazzling golden light was almost solidified, so bright that it was blinding.

An ancient and imposing stele-shaped phantom slowly emerged in his palm!

Above the monument's shadow, countless tiny human figures could be faintly seen practicing their martial arts!

That was the essence of martial arts that he deduced!

"Based on the merits and virtues of Heaven, let us forge a monument to the martial arts heritage of our human race!"

Xuan Du's voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, carrying an undeniable resolve.

"With this monument erected, the martial arts tradition will continue unbroken! Humanity will never cease its striving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly lifted his hands upwards!

"Buzz!!!"

The phantom stone in the shape of the palm suddenly burst forth with boundless brilliance and soared into the sky!

Above the nine heavens, the vast golden clouds of merit descended and suddenly split apart!

More than 90% of the golden light of merit no longer surged toward Xuandu, but instead poured madly into the rising stele shadow!

"Splash!"

The golden light of merit struck the shadow of the monument, producing a deafening roar.

The shadow of the monument solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The texture becomes increasingly clear, exuding a profound and timeless Taoist charm!

The two ancient Taoist characters of martial arts manifest themselves, each stroke containing endless martial arts truth and boundless merit!

A colossal monument, hundreds of feet tall, was finally completed after being imbued with boundless merit!

Heavenly Monument of Martial Arts!

"fall!"

Xuan Du pointed his fingers like a sword, aiming at the open space in front of the altar below.

"Boom!"

The Martial Arts Stele emitted a deep, resounding thud as it firmly settled on the ground in front of the altar.

The monument is three zhang deep into the ground, standing tall and majestic, echoing the altar in the distance.

A powerful martial spirit and aura of merit spread out, enveloping the entire coastline of the East China Sea.

All the humans present, regardless of age, gender, or whether they had heard of the technique before, felt something at this moment.

A resonance originating from the depths of one's blood was quietly awakened.

Their gazes toward the giant monument were filled with an indescribable warmth and longing.

As the Martial Arts Heavenly Stele was fully formed, the last wisp of golden light of merit was completely integrated into the stele.

The suffocating golden light surrounding Xuandu finally dissipated completely.

He landed gently, his breathing steady, his primordial Daoist aura as pure as ever, without a trace of Heavenly Dao merit.

The crisis is over.

The harvest far exceeded expectations!

Xuan Du looked at the majestic Martial Arts Heavenly Stele, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

With this monument standing, the inheritance of human martial arts is assured.

Millions of people are welcome to come and observe, and based on their own aptitude and understanding, obtain a suitable cultivation method.

It saves time and effort, and allows for more personalized instruction, maximizing the potential of martial arts!

"Master!"

Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, and Ziyishi excitedly gathered around, looking at the celestial stele and then at Xuandu, their eyes filled with reverence.

"This stele...this stele can actually evolve the true meaning of martial arts on its own, triggering a resonance within the bloodline!"

"Master, you have bestowed upon us a foundation for humanity to last for eternity!"

The Third Patriarch's voice choked with emotion, and he wanted to kneel down again.

Xuan Du raised his hand in a gesture of support, his gaze sweeping over the countless excited humans below, and said loudly:

"This is the Martial Dao Heavenly Stele, forged with the merits of the Heavenly Dao, containing the true meaning of martial arts, and can evolve and be passed down on its own."

"From this day forward, all members of my human race may come before this monument to observe and comprehend its teachings, and according to their own circumstances, grasp the methods of martial arts cultivation!"

"May your human race cultivate tirelessly, strive for self-improvement, protect your race with martial prowess, and prove your path through martial arts!"

"I will humbly obey Master's instructions!"

Millions of people responded in unison, their voices resounding through the heavens, filled with unprecedented hope and fighting spirit.

Skyrim.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable took all of this into view.

"Xuan Du... Martial Dao Heavenly Stele... Human Race..."

This child is not only exceptionally talented and cunning, but also possesses extraordinary luck, so much so that he can so easily discard the merits of Heaven and use them for other purposes.

To lay the foundation for humanity for all ages...

From this day forward, the fates of the human race and the Jie Sect will be completely intertwined, rising together in tandem.

Yuanshi gave Xuandu a deep look before disappearing from the spot.

In Biyou Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader stood with his hands behind his back in front of the palace gate, gazing towards the East China Sea.

He witnessed the entire scene of Xuandu casting the stele and Yuanshi spitting blood and fleeing.

A wide, exhilarating smile slowly curved his lips.

"Good lad!"

"To erect a monument with merit, sever the karmic ties of Heaven, and establish a foundation for humanity for all eternity..."

"It forced the Primordial Dao Heart to lose its balance, causing his sacred blood to gush forth..."

"Hahaha! That's great! Let's drink a big toast!"

With a flick of his sleeve, a pot of celestial wine appeared in his hand, and he tilted his head back to drink it.

The spicy liquor went down my throat, turning into a surging heat, but it couldn't compare to even a fraction of the joy I felt in my heart.

This disciple was a worthwhile investment!

Too much value!

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Zhunti and Jieyin remained silent, their faces showing even more intense suffering.

"Senior brother... that Martial Dao Heavenly Stele... was forged with such vast merit..."

Zhunti's voice was hoarse, his eyes filled with a mixture of greed and regret.

If that merit were to go to the West... how wonderful that would be.

That way they can repay a lot of the merits of Heaven.

The guide murmured a Buddhist chant and sighed:

"This boy, Xuandu, is completely bound to the destiny of the human race and has received Tongtian's full support."

"In the future... I'm afraid this will be a scourge to the West."
