Hermit in the Mountains

Gu Changsheng used the authority of the Heavenly Saints to understand the overall situation of the current Blue Star world.

The Blue Star world consists of three major regions.

The core is the blue planet itself, the original star.

The secondary core region is one light-year in diameter, with the Sun and Moon orbiting the origin star at a distance of 0.5 light-years.

There are five planets between the Sun, the Moon, and the Primordial Star: Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn.

The five planets are not ordinary celestial bodies; they each represent the five elements of heaven and earth.

Each planet contains the purest single power of the five elements, which can be said to be the embodiment of the five elements law.

Both the Sun and the Moon are transforming in accordance with the laws of the Sun and the Moon.

The outer region can be called the outer starry sky, where the three thousand Great Dao Laws begin to assimilate the physical laws of the universe, giving birth to a brand new law star field.

After the primordial star expanded a thousandfold, its diameter reached a terrifying 20 billion kilometers.

The diameters of both the Sun and the Moon are 10 billion kilometers.

The largest known celestial body in the universe is named "Stevenson," with a diameter of approximately three billion kilometers.

In just six years, the laws of the Great Dao shaped three giant celestial bodies, exceeding the limits of physical laws.

The laws of the universe are so unreasonable, and no one knows why.

The question is: the power of concepts.

Gu Changsheng turned his gaze back from the distant star field and focused on understanding the changes in the origin star.

The original star has a diameter of 20 billion kilometers, a height of 100 million kilometers, and a layer of qi that is 10,000 kilometers thick.

Each wisp of qi is comparable to the power of a peak Dao Fruit Realm cultivator.

Wandao Mountain officially became the first divine mountain of the Origin Star, standing 20 million kilometers tall.

Because of the existence of Wandao Mountain, the Qinling Mountains became the first ancestral vein of the original star, stretching five billion kilometers from east to west and one hundred million kilometers from north to south.

Seeing the changes in Wandaoshan and Qinling, Gu Changsheng swore that he had not interfered.

Perhaps Heaven and Earth do not allow his cave dwelling to be ranked second, as it would tarnish the reputation and status of a sage.

In conclusion, Qinling will become the first ancestral vein of the Origin Star, and Wandao Mountain will become the first divine mountain of the Origin Star.

Its status is like that of "Zhou Mountain" in the primordial world.

Unfortunately, a single reckless act caused Zhou Mountain to cease to be Zhou Mountain, and the title of the First Divine Mountain was inherited by Kunlun Immortal Mountain.

Wandao Mountain still has four peaks, and its shape seems to be fixed. No matter which direction you look at it, it looks like three sticks of incense offered to heaven and earth.

The mountain has four peaks shrouded in mist, and is home to countless rare and exotic animals and towering ancient trees.

Wandao Mountain gave birth to a primordial ancestral vein, and each of its four peaks gave birth to a primordial spiritual vein.

The innate spiritual energy in the five spaces was so dense that it was almost turning into mist.

Tens of thousands of new spiritual nodes have been created.

In the various hidden, primordial realms, the primordial spiritual veins began to absorb primordial spiritual energy.

Everything on the original planet is developing in a positive direction.

Gu Changsheng's holy thought entered the virtual world of myriad paths and added a new race hiding mark function (human race, aquatic race, demon race, spirit race, innate beings) as data for him to understand the racial proportion of cultivators of the Dao Seed Method.

He withdrew his mind from the virtual world of myriad paths, slowly opened his eyes, and stretched his body.

Looking back at the five gourds hanging by the door, they had all completed the transformation from acquired to innate, advancing to low-grade innate spiritual treasures with greatly increased power.

He withdrew his gaze and glanced at the Mountain Lord Hall on the right. A white tiger was still asleep, its body exuding a rich aura of metal.

Numerous fine scratches of varying depths appeared inside the main hall.

Gu Changsheng did not take the gourd, but let it hang at the door to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the energy of the five elements.

He glanced at his cave dwelling, which was still the same as before, but the spiritual energy had transformed into innate spiritual energy.

The bamboo house built by the spirit bamboo is slowly transforming into a magical artifact under the nurturing of innate spiritual energy.

His gaze turned to the Longevity Cave, where he saw that the disciples were all asleep, their cultivation levels improving.

He watched as the conceptual-level cultivation paths of his two guardian spirit pets were broken, and thought to himself, "What a pity!"

There's nothing we can do about it; the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Sages are unique.

The two spirit pets could not continue to advance to the same realm as his cultivation level.

The only good news is that the outcome wasn't the worst.

Their cultivation level can still improve along with his, but there will be a gap of a major realm.

For example, at his current Dao Xuan Yi Bian realm, his two guardian spirit pets are stuck at the peak of the Dao Guo realm, unable to take the final step.

His cultivation level has risen to the Dao Profound Realm, but his two guardian spirit pets are still at the peak of the Dao Fruit Realm. Unless he enters the Dao Vein Realm, they will not be able to step into the peak of the Dao Profound Realm.

"Buzz—"

A force swept across the Blue Star world, pulling Gu Changsheng back to his senses.

He looked up and saw that the space of the Great Dao's origin had expanded more than ten thousand times. The power that overflowed at the moment of the Great Dao's revival could only be described as terrifying.

After the eye of the Purple Gold Path appeared in the void, it disappeared back into the void, as if it had never appeared.

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng saw nine strands of Xuanhuang Qi floating towards him from the sky, hovering in front of him.

"Great virtues and merits".

Gu Changsheng quickly realized that this was the Great Dao rewarding him for his contribution in creating the Dao.

Don't underestimate the small amount of merit from the Nine Threads of the Great Dao. It can be used to refine nine top-grade merit treasures. With the addition of innate and indestructible primordial energy, it can even be forged into a top-grade innate merit treasure.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda in the hands of the Taiqing Daoist was formed from the merits of the Great Dao and the first wisp of Profound Yellow Qi between heaven and earth.

After the Great Dao Merit descended, three more golden, black, and red merits fell.

If the leader bestows merit, it wouldn't be right for the younger brother not to do the same.

Gu Changsheng looked at the three merits floating in front of him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Neither the Great Dao Merit nor the Three Dao Merit is of much use to him.

Refining weapons, cultivating, and comprehending the Dao are all wastes.

He already possesses three supreme treasures for attaining enlightenment and three accompanying supreme treasures, so he basically has no need for other supreme treasures.

Using donations for everyday small items is a bit extravagant.

As for crafting merit-enhancing spiritual treasures to protect his disciples, that was not on his agenda.

If they want any resources or magical treasures, they can refine them themselves or go out to find them.

He has already given away the Great Dao and the Three Daos, so there's no way he could give them back.

With a thought, Gu Changsheng formed a virtual wheel of merit by connecting nine strands of Great Dao merit, which hung behind him.

The three streams of merit power form golden, black, and red merit wheels, distributed in the three directions of the Great Dao Merit Wheel, forming an equilateral triangle.

The Great Way Merit Wheel and the Three Ways Merit appear to be embedded together, but in fact they are two separate layers.

The Great Way of Merit resides in the inner layer, while the Three Wheels of Merit reside in the outer layer.

The two kinds of merits formed a protective golden light that enveloped Gu Changsheng.

A protective canopy of auspicious energy descended from above, shielding the body with strands of protective energy.

At this moment, Gu Changsheng resembled a highly accomplished sage, radiating golden light.

With a slight thought, the Wheel of Merit disappeared into the void behind him, and the golden light around him vanished.

Even though he concealed all the protective golden light, the supreme aura and merit emanating from him still made living beings dare not look directly at him.

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue ox stepped out of the void and landed in front of him.

As Qingxuan landed on the ground, he looked at his master and seemed to see a towering figure. Looking at him again, he felt an irresistible urge to kneel down.

He lowered his head, not daring to look directly at his master's face. "Master...Master, are you going on a journey?"

"Let's go for a walk." With that, Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the back of the green ox.

Just as Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the back of the green ox, the ox's limbs suddenly bent down and were still trembling.

The cow couldn't help but let out a bellow.

"Moo—"

The blue ox specialized in carrying its master and quickly adapted to the weight on its back.

The weight on his back was tempering his physical body; this was the benefit of the path of carrying one's master—carrying one's master was a form of cultivation.

Gu Changsheng smiled knowingly and gently patted the cow's back with his right hand. "Let's go!"

"Head west—"
