Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations are Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mounta

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming raised his hand, and a pond appeared in his palm, within which twelve golden lotuses of merit swayed gracefully, scattering endless golden light of merit.

Then they saw the pond in their palms absorb all the black energy into the pool.

These black wisps are the resentment of the fallen Xuan Turtle!

Of course, this is not the fault of the black tortoise.

If it were someone else...

He was just staying in Beihai, doing nothing wrong, when he inexplicably met a deadly end, his limbs turning into pillars supporting the sky.

Millions of years of cultivation vanished into thin air, benefiting others instead. It's hard for anyone to understand, and resentment would fill the sky.

These tangible resentments would likely taint even innate spiritual treasures, causing them to lose their spirituality. Even quasi-saint level experts would not dare to linger there.

However, lotus flowers and lotus roots are inherently the nemesis of evil and filth, let alone a twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit.

As soon as the black mist was drawn into the pool, it transformed into nutrients for the lotus root to grow.

Although the grade of the Golden Lotus of Merit has not been improved, as it sways gracefully, not only have the lotus roots grown stronger, but the golden light of merit it scatters has also become richer.

Clearly, they have benefited greatly from this.

hum!

Just as the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit was continuously absorbing the black energy and strengthening itself, the black energy that was originally rising in wisps suddenly solidified.

In an instant, it transformed into a completely black tortoise, its eyes filled with disgust and resentment towards the primordial world—the true spirit of the Xuan Turtle whose nature had been obscured.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming immediately activated the Twelve-Petaled Golden Lotus of Merit, attempting to redeem the corrupted true spirit of the Xuan Turtle.

However, this Xuan Turtle is a remnant of chaos, and its existence can be traced back to before the creation of the world.

In terms of antiquity, even the Heavenly Dao Ancestor Hongjun, when he awakened his consciousness, was probably not as ancient as this Xuan Turtle.

It was only because it was suppressed by the Primordial Heavenly Dao that it was unable to take human form. Or rather, after it came to the Primordial World, it was already "targeted" by the Heavenly Dao, which destined it to the tragedy of mending the sky with its four limbs.

Faced with the salvation of the Golden Lotus of Merit, the eyes of the Xuan Turtle True Spirit showed resistance, remaining unmoved despite the golden light of merit shining upon it.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gongming conjured up a golden wheel of merit behind his head, seven in total, radiating a dazzling golden light that seemed to illuminate the entire North Sea.

Its appearance immediately shocked many powerful beings, including even the Heavenly Saints, who were watching from the sidelines.

Even if one condenses the first level of the Golden Wheel of Merit, one is already considered a person of great merit, and even a Heavenly Saint would not easily attack such a person.

On this basis, the amount of Heavenly Merit required for each additional Golden Wheel of Merit increases exponentially.

With a full seven layers of merit, it is no exaggeration to say that if Zhao Gongming were willing, he could exchange such an amazing merit wheel for the status of a Heavenly Saint.

Leaving aside the shock of the powerful beings in the Three Realms, as the Sevenfold Merit Golden Wheel evolved, the power of the Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus suddenly surged more than a hundredfold, illuminated by the golden light of merit.

The Xuan Turtle True Spirit's resistance was momentarily halted, and in the blink of an eye, it was absorbed into the Twelfth Grade Merit Golden Lotus Platform.

However, Zhao Gongming knew that this was only the first step in eliminating the resentment of the Xuan Turtle.

As long as its resentment remains unresolved, its true spirit will not regain its clarity, and similarly, the decay of its enormous body will not cease.

As a result, the miasma and malaria of Beiju Luzhou will continue to be generated.

Of course, Zhao Gongming could not directly take action to erase the true spirit of the Xuan Turtle.

Without it.

The merit of the Xuan Turtle supporting the sky is astonishing. If it were willing to actively support the sky, it could attain sainthood in no time.

Perhaps that is why even the Heavenly Sage could only watch helplessly.

They support the sky with four legs, so not only can the true spirit do nothing about them, but their physical bodies are also unable to move. This creates a deadlock, and the resentment of millions of years has polluted the entire Northern Continent.

However, there is a way.

That would be to consume one's own merits to convert the true spirit of the Xuan Turtle.

However, in practice, it is fraught with difficulties.

First of all, the Xuan Turtle is a remnant of chaos, and its resentment is so deep that the merit required to convert it would probably be astronomical.

Even a Heavenly Saint can have their merits greatly reduced, and if they are not careful, they could fall from their sainthood. That is entirely possible.

Saints of the Heavenly Dao attained sainthood through merit and virtue; merit and virtue are their foundation, and they cannot afford to lose them.

Secondly, if one has already fallen from sainthood, the merits consumed will not be enough to redeem the resentment of the Xuan Turtle.

If other saints then appear, expending their merits to convert the Xuan Turtle and gain an advantage, then in the end, they will truly suffer a huge loss.

While pondering, Zhao Gongming also arrived on the Twelfth-Grade Golden Lotus of Merit, and looking at the Xuan Turtle True Spirit that was constantly churning, he said: "I know you are not reconciled!"

But now that things have come to this, I am the Great Emperor of Fengdu in the Northern Underworld. If you are willing to let go of your obsessions, I can personally escort you into the cycle of reincarnation.

With your merits of supporting the heavens, plus the Primordial Purple Qi in your hand, your future achievements are limitless. Why cling to your old, crippled body and keep thinking about it?

Rest assured, when you are reborn, I will protect you and personally guide you into my sect!

Zhao Gongming casually took out a stream of purple energy. The Xuan Turtle, which was originally unwilling and resentful, suddenly calmed down after sensing the aura of the Primordial Purple Energy.

It stared intently at the Primordial Purple Qi, and its obscured nature seemed to regain a sliver of clarity at this moment.

The Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation of the Great Dao. It had previously refused to reincarnate, which is why it lost its original form.

Even if one is reincarnated, one's achievements are limited. With one's foundation destroyed, one naturally resents heaven and earth.

However, if one has such a foundation of the Great Dao, then one can reshape the foundation of the Dao and have a glimmer of hope to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Primordial Chaos in the future.

Seeing the black tortoise's reaction, Zhao Gongming knew he had a chance, so he stopped talking and the golden wheel of merit rose behind his head. Then he began to recite the sutras for salvation.

"At that time, in Fengdu..."

As Zhao Gongming chanted, strands of merit power from the Golden Wheel of Merit behind his head merged into the True Spirit of the Mysterious Tortoise, causing the lingering resentment and black aura around it to dissipate into white mist.

Before we knew it, a century had passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, the Golden Wheel of Merit behind Zhao Gongming's head had shrunk dramatically, falling directly from the seventh level to the first level, and even becoming illusory.

The true spirit of the Xuan Turtle has also been completely restored to clarity.

Seeing this, the few sages who were paying attention to the situation felt a pang of sympathy.

What a waste of resources! Absolutely a waste of resources!

So much merit is enough to create a Heavenly Saint!

But soon, the Heavenly Saints also began to make their own plans.

Previously, they had many reservations about Zhao Gongming, largely because his merits were too profound, and killing him would incur an enormous amount of karmic burden.

But now that he has given up so much merit, does it mean that an opportunity to deal with Zhao Gongming has arrived?
