Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

"Innate spiritual treasures in the primordial world are ultimately few and far between, while now there are many more Great Luo Golden Immortals, and even some Great Luo Golden Immortals in my Heavenly Court do not have innate spiritual treasures."

"Since I control the Qiankun Cauldron, a supreme innate treasure, how could I not make good use of it? While other divine materials are important for refining innate spiritual treasures, what is most needed is to use the power of merit to reverse the innate nature."

Yaochi's furrowed brows relaxed: "Merit is difficult to measure, so Senior Brother intends to unify merit?"

Haotian smiled confidently: "That's right. Humans have their own currencies, and immortals and gods naturally have theirs as well. Cultivators who haven't become immortals only need to absorb spiritual energy and convert it into mana, while Taiyi Golden Immortals need to condense the five elements within their chests."

"The Western Continent is now 70% restored, and the innate spiritual energy in the primordial world is constantly increasing. Moreover, my Heavenly Court will also focus on this aspect in the future."

"Then there is nothing that can be used for trade between immortals and gods."

As Haotian spoke, his face was filled with sighs. Those spirit stones and immortal stones had no use in the prehistoric world. Any stone picked up on the prehistoric land contained immortal energy. Cultivators usually only exchanged various divine objects, such as those for alchemy, weapon crafting, or array crafting.

If the value is equal, that's fine; if the value is unequal, you'll only suffer a loss, or you'll end up losing some low-level divine items that you don't use often.

"I use the Falling Treasure Coin as the base, and transform the power of merit into merit coins. With this as currency, the status and credibility of my Heavenly Court are enough to make all living beings in the prehistoric world believe in me."

"In the future, when this is fully implemented, merit coins will be the only thing in the primordial world that can measure the value of all things."

Yaochi's eyes lit up with joy: "This is a great thing. It will not only make the Heavenly Court more stable, but also help Senior Brother gather his fortune."

"That's right. For many Grand Luo Golden Immortals, what they need most is innate spiritual treasures. They can exchange them directly with merit points, or they can rent the Qiankun Cauldron to refine them. As long as I clearly define the amount of merit points required, it will be fine."

"Not only innate spiritual treasures, but also innate spiritual fruits, the five elements, yin and yang energies, and divine materials for refining weapons—anything that my Heavenly Court possesses can be bought and sold."

"I will establish a trading post in the primordial void, so that all beings in the primordial world can trade without coming to the Heavenly Court. They only need to leave behind a replica of the Treasure-Falling Coin in the trading post."

As he spoke, Yaochi's eyes shone brighter. She looked down at the round merit coins in Haotian's hand and hesitated, saying, "This is too simple. I suppose even a great master could imitate it. It would be better to add some markings."

Haotian nodded, and with a light tap of his fingertip, the Heavenly Emperor's Seal appeared on one side of the merit coin, emanating a supreme and noble aura—his unique aura.

"Even a sage could imitate it, right?" Yaochi's eyes flashed.

Haotian remained silent. Yes, other sages might not, but those two from the West were very likely to be.

"Then I'll make them dare not do such a thing. It'll be my way of showing filial piety to my master as his disciple." Haotian laughed heartily. "What do you say about using my master's portrait?"

Even Venus, standing to the side, trembled. Our Emperor truly lives up to his reputation as the Dao Ancestor's most beloved disciple; he even dares to have such thoughts.

Yaochi's expression stiffened, and she hesitated before saying, "Isn't this inappropriate?"

After all, our master is the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Era. If he were to appear on the merit coins like this, it would be a bit too disrespectful to him if someone were to play with them.

Haotian thought for a moment, then silently withdrew the idea. The two exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Zixiao Palace!"

"Hahaha, let's use Zixiao Palace." Haotian pointed his finger, and a palace surrounded by purple aura appeared. Just one glance was like seeing countless laws.

Yaochi smiled lightly, "Apart from His Majesty, no other sage would dare to do such a thing."

Haotian declared confidently, "In this way, Master can also gain a share of the fortune."

Yaochi looked at him with a helpless smile, "Senior brother, don't explain anymore!"

"In the future, this will be the currency of the primordial world." Haotian picked up the merit coin and examined it carefully.

"Buzz—"

A dark yellow color appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Court, and golden clouds of merit fell into the Dragon Virtue Palace, leaving all the immortals of the Heavenly Court stunned.

Didn't they just leave His Majesty's place?

His Majesty then performed another meritorious act.

Haotian and Yaochi stared blankly as the merit fell, some floating above Haotian's head and some flowing into the merit coin. The two of them twitched at the corners of their mouths, watching helplessly as the merit coin transformed into a spiritual treasure.

"Can this still be used?" Yaochi asked in a low voice.

"A top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, merit version." Haotian chuckled. "However, this item also has the ability to drop treasures, making it comparable to an acquired spiritual treasure."

Yaochi smiled and said, "The Heavenly Dao has already recognized the merit coins, so Senior Brother's move will surely succeed."

Haotian nodded, and Taibai Jinxing bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, may I be so bold as to speak?"

"explain."

"How much merit does one of Your Majesty's merit coins contain? And given Your Majesty's vast amount of merit, wouldn't there be too many merit coins if they were minted?"

Haotian's lips curled up: "I condensed merit coins with a bit of merit power. So, you mean the face value of these merit coins can be made different?"

Taibai cautiously raised his head: "Your Majesty is wise, that is exactly what I meant."

Yaochi looked tempted, but Haotian gently shook his head: "Junior sister, you and Taibai have been high and mighty for too long."

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty." Venus bowed deeply, while Yaochi looked on with a puzzled expression.

"The most important thing about currency is its circulation!" Haotian sighed softly. "Junior sister, although your merits are not enough to attain sainthood, among all living beings in the prehistoric world, apart from the saints of the heavens, no one can compare to you."

"When facing all living beings in the primordial world, how much merit do those beings possess? Moreover, for us great supernatural beings, the amount of merit coins can be clearly seen with just a sweep of our divine thoughts, without needing to change their face value."

"Moreover, there are many more people in this primordial world who have no merit."

"Believe it or not, once the trading post opens, there will be even more cultivators exchanging various divine items for merit coins."

Yaochi was startled. Yes, she usually came into contact with saints or quasi-saints and great supernatural beings. Who wouldn't have merit? Even cultivators above the Golden Immortal level in the Heavenly Court would have some, more or less.

In the primordial world, merit is a panacea; it can break through bottlenecks and improve cultivation, as well as suppress inner demons and remove karma. However, merit is not so easy to obtain.

Most immortals possess some divine artifacts, especially those from dragons, phoenixes, or demon races. Their scales or feathers can be used for refining artifacts. Once the trading post opens, cultivators will undoubtedly use these to exchange for merit points.

"It was my oversight, Your Majesty. You have indeed considered everything thoroughly. Your Majesty is wise." Venus stood silently to the side.

Yaochi raised her head: "So, how does Senior Brother plan to price it? And..."

She hesitated slightly: "As you said, senior brother, there will definitely be cultivators who will exchange various divine items for merit coins. The two senior brothers in the West are most in need of merit. Do you have that much merit?"
