The Primordial Era: Starting with Jingwei Filling the Sea

After giving Fang Yang a copy of the "Purple Cloud Merit Scripture," the Jade Emperor Taoist symbolically took out a pile of innate peaches and told Fang Yang to take them back and savor them slowly.

This time, Fang Yang sent too many laborers; simply giving him a copy of the "Purple Cloud Merit Scripture" wouldn't be enough for the Jade Emperor Daoist to feel at ease. The Jade Emperor Daoist knew very well that Fang Yang wasn't without other options.

The Heavenly Court is short of people, and so is the Underworld.

The disciples of Penglai Island may not be the best of people, but their strength is undeniable. Even if those with high magical power are completely ignorant of alchemy and weapon crafting, there will always be a place in the world where they can showcase their talents.

If Fang Yang were to auction off all the disciples of Penglai, the Four Heavenly Spirits, the human race, the demon race, and other forces would definitely compete with the Heavenly Court for them.

Although the Heavenly Court is the Heavenly Court of the Xuanmen and is closely related to the great cause of the Xuanmen, every Xuanmen disciple has the responsibility and obligation to support the development of the Heavenly Court. However, if all Xuanmen disciples do not support the Heavenly Court, Fang Yang's indifference to the Heavenly Court can only be attributed to his sociability.

A few material possessions can bring the Heavenly Court and Fangyang closer together, which is a very worthwhile investment.

Half a month passed between Fang Yang's trip and his return. He returned to Feilai Peak and began studying the "Zixiao Merit Scripture" that he had just acquired.

At present, it's impossible for him to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm; he hasn't yet created his own method of attaining enlightenment. The Spiritual Root Immortal Path merely improved his foundation, granting him a cultivation speed indistinguishable from that of an innate deity.

To create a method of enlightenment, one needs the right timing, the right place, and the right people. If these conditions are not met, no matter how hard one tries, one will not be able to create a method of enlightenment.

Fang Yang wasn't in a hurry. The appearance of the Star Fruit Tree gave him an alternative way to prove his Dao.

The power of the Zhou Tian Star Array is comparable to that of a Saint. Fang Yang doesn't necessarily want to achieve the Primordial Chaos Realm in one step. He can raise his combat power to the Saint level first, using it as a stepping stone before planning his true path to enlightenment.

Sometimes, taking a roundabout route is more likely to lead to success than charging straight ahead.

Fang Yang will take this path, and he will walk it together with the path to enlightenment. In any case, these two paths do not conflict; once he succeeds in one, the other will naturally follow.

Fang Yang's figure appeared above the Chaos Spirit Spring. He sat upright in the center of the water column, took out the "Purple Cloud Merit Scripture," and began to study it.

The scriptures personally compiled by the Hongjun Ancestor are even more profound than those compiled by sages. As soon as he opened the scriptures, countless mysterious characters transformed into a beam of purple light and entered his brow.

"I see... Merit is a mysterious product born from the combination of the origin of heaven and earth and the righteous energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, merit can not only be used to improve cultivation, but also make one immune to all evil. The Purple Cloud Merit Scripture describes the mental techniques and formulas that catalyze the power of merit and transform it into various mysterious things."

The "Purple Cloud Merit Scripture" opened up a new world for Fang Yang. The content of this scripture far exceeded his imagination. Although the Taoist arts and supernatural powers recorded in the scripture did not have any destructive power, they covered many of the fundamental principles of immortal Taoist arts.

The essence of merit, the laws governing the flow of fortune, the origins of merit and karma, the transformation of merit and primordial energy... even the Tongtian Sect Leader never spoke of these principles.

The Master of Heaven couldn't possibly be unaware of this; he simply didn't speak up because he thought it unnecessary.

Before Fang Yang joined the Jie Sect, there were no disciples with profound merits in the sect. What was the point of him talking about these things? Even if he did, probably not many people would listen.

What Fang Yang was most interested in was the method of using merit to refine acquired merit treasures and acquired merit elixirs.

There are only two supreme treasures of acquired merit in the world: the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and the Human Creation Whip, a sacred artifact of the human race. The former was born from the combination of the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Qi and the merit of creating the world; the latter... (Prefer Xianxia novels? Click p>)

The Elixir of Merit for the Day After Tomorrow must have been refined by the Sage of Taiqing, but it is estimated that only the Grand Master Xuandu was qualified to enjoy it.

"Perhaps I can refine the Acquired Merit Elixir to perfect the Undying Demon God Technique. The Undying Demon God Technique is just a supernatural power created by my master on a temporary basis, and it is not complete at all. At the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage, I might still be able to rely on it to fight enemies. After cultivating to the Daluo Golden Immortal stage, the Undying Demon God Technique will become a useless supernatural power."

An avatar emerged from Fang Yang's body. This avatar took a single step and left Flying Peak, heading towards the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

To refine pills and forge weapons, one needs a suitable alchemy furnace and a weapon-forging cauldron. Forging weapons is relatively easy, as it can be done by hand, but alchemy requires a very specific environment, so Fang Yang must obtain an alchemy furnace.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was not known for his weapon crafting skills, but it wasn't that he couldn't craft weapons. In fact, the Tongtian Sect Leader, who frequently crafted array flags, was among the best weapon crafters in the world.

Within the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion are some acquired spiritual treasures crafted by the Tongtian Sect Master in his early years. Among them is a magical treasure called the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Furnace, of extremely high quality, a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, just a hair's breadth away from becoming a supreme-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

Fang Yang can use this item to refine pills.

Before long, Fang Yang's clone returned to him, carrying a crimson furnace with patterns of mythical beasts from the Eight Desolations engraved on its surface. The clone then returned to his original body, and the Eight Desolations Divine Fire Furnace floated in front of Fang Yang.

With everything ready, Fang Yang didn't delay any longer. He threw a Primordial Peach and some auxiliary medicines into the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Furnace and began refining. Fang Yang slapped the furnace wall with both palms, sending two balls of merit power into it.

boom!

When the energy of merit combines with the Eight Desolate Divine Fire, the Eight Desolate Divine Fire instantly changes, transforming from crimson gold to dark yellow.

The Xuanhuang Fire, also known as the True Fire of Heaven and Earth, is the most oppressive flame in the world. Every wisp of this flame can crush an ancient divine mountain, and its temperature can even scorch the body of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Fang Yang was able to briefly condense this flame by following the records in the "Purple Cloud Merit Scripture" and with the help of the alchemy furnace. To truly cultivate this divine fire, one needs a physical body capable of withstanding the Xuanhuang fire.

Otherwise, the divine fire, having just been refined, would be set ablaze and consumed by its own flames.

The Xuanhuang Fire may be dangerous, but using it to refine pills can greatly increase the success rate.

With everything ready, Fang Yang didn't delay any longer. He manipulated the Xuanhuang Fire and began a frenzied refining of the medicinal herbs.

In just half a month, the furnace lid opened automatically, and thirty-six golden elixirs flew out from the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Furnace. The moment the elixirs flew out, their fragrance instantly swept across the entire Flying Peak.

The Acquired Merit Elixir is surrounded by wisps of merit energy, which is precisely the Acquired Merit Elixir!

"Indeed, using the energy of merit to refine pills is twice as effective with half the effort. Without the energy of merit, the success rate of this batch of pills would definitely not be so high."

Fang Yang picked up a pill of acquired merit and examined it closely.

This acquired merit elixir is completely different from ordinary elixirs. Under the harmonization of merit power, the medicinal properties of the elixir are perfectly combined, giving rise to rings of Daoist rhyme.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing the Acquired Merit Pill into his mouth. The instant the pill entered his mouth, a vast Daoist aura spread throughout his body, directly merging into it.

Fang Yang was astonished to find that his magical power had actually increased by a tiny bit, about one ten-thousandth!

He was a peak Great Luo Realm expert; for him, eating a peach was like a drop of water falling into the ocean—he wouldn't feel anything. Now, he had only added a trace of merit, about half an acre's worth, and it had such an effect.

The power of merit is terrifying!
