The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The closer Chi Miao got, the more uncontrollable his knees became. Soon, only Ying Wuhuo was still standing, but he was also about to give up.

This power is so strange and bizarre!

Could it be...

"Is this also the power of merit?"

Legend has it that those with the highest merit are imbued with the light of merit, inspiring awe wherever they go. At this moment, Chi Miao was surrounded by golden light of merit, shining brightly in all directions.

Soon, everyone made a decision.

It's all because of the good deeds they've done!!

"How could this happen?!"

Ying Wuhuo was also about to give up. He circulated his spiritual power, thrust his sword into the ground, glared angrily ahead, and gritted his teeth.

How could he possibly kneel down!

His veins were bulging all over his body, and he still looked handsome as he gritted his teeth, but he was still too disheveled.

Seeing how hard he was working, Jin Shengfei sincerely suggested, "Skinny Swimming Bro, why don't you just kneel down? It's not shameful. This merit will shine like gold; consider it as worshipping Buddha."

The moment he finished speaking, a ray of golden light drifted into his body.

He was immediately jolted.

A golden whirlwind swept around, and Jin Shengfei's aura became stronger than ever before. A shrine also appeared next to his spiritual root!

Peng!

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Is this... a breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment stage?

"what?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. How could it break through so smoothly? Even diarrhea doesn't happen this fast!

Ying Wuhuo: "...He was already half a step into the Foundation Establishment stage. Just now, when he was fighting against the ghosts with everyone, he was on the verge of breaking through. However, he had been suppressing it. Just now, when he spoke up for Chi Miao, it seemed that he received a wisp of merit and broke through directly."

"You can do that?!"

Ying Wuhuo: "It's similar to... if you believe in a certain deity, you will pray to him for blessings, and he will respond to your prayers."

Everyone suddenly realized, "We get it! Chi Miao directly achieved immortality through merit!"

Ying Wuhuo: "That's not necessarily true..."

Before he could finish speaking, a group of people shouted.

"Naked Swimming Guy, kneel down now and join our Chi Miao Cult!"

"Yeah, skinny divers, that's good karma! Kneeling down is a good thing!"

"Long live the Chi Miao Divine Cult! Long live Cult Leader Chi Miao!"

"..." Ying Wuhuo was speechless, looking like he had just eaten shit.

Can't you people have any backbone?!

Are your spines bent?

Also, the name "Chi Miao Divine Cult" sounds more and more like a cult!

However, Chi Miao got too close in the end, and Ying Wuhuo couldn't resist and knelt down.

The members of the "Chi Miao Divine Cult" did indeed get a share of the benefits, and all of them smoothly leveled up.

"Is this the power of the Chi Miao Divine Cult? It's truly terrifying."

Ying Wuhuo: "..."

The elders outside the water mirror: "..."

They've lived so long and read so many books, and this is the first time they've ever seen anything like this.

This is too abstract, there are too many things to complain about, I don't even know where to begin.

Finally, Chi Miao stood in front of everyone.

She watched as everyone knelt before her.

Is it aimed at her?

Chi Miao walked to the left, and everyone knelt to the left.

Chi Miao walked to the right, and everyone knelt to the right.

Chi Miao walked in a twirl, and everyone else knelt in a twirl.

"Oh wow, they really are kneeling before me!"

Was it really that grand? She wasn't that great, was she?

"Ahem, well, let me say a few words."

"Why are my beloved ministers kneeling? Is it because you admire my heroic figure so much that you are so devout?"

No one spoke.

Because Chi Miao was so close, it was too dazzling, and the whole person was surrounded by merit.

Chi Miao asked in confusion, "Why are all my ministers silent again? Are they isolating me?"

Ying Wuhuo: "Is that the golden light of merit behind you? Could you please tone it down?"

Chi Miao was taken aback: "This thing? I don't know how to store it."

Ying Wuhuo: "..."

Chi Miao: "How do you collect it?"

Ying Wuhuo: "I don't know either."

He has never experienced it, so how could he possibly know about such things?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Chi Miao: "Is this why you knelt down?"

Ying Wuhuo: "Hmm."

Chi Miao: "Hey."

Ying Wuhuo: "????"

What do you mean by "hey"? Tell me, what do you mean by this?!

You don't want them to keep kneeling here forever, do you?

Ying Wuhuo gritted his teeth: "You better hurry up and figure out how to collect this thing!"

Chi Miao: "Oh, don't worry, I have no experience with this either. You guys just have to kneel down a bit more while I figure it out."

Ying Wuhuo laughed.

How despicable, so incredibly despicable!

No one could have imagined that a true bastard would be born in the Sword Tomb!

Jin Shengfei: "Chi Miao, it's okay for you to keep the lights on a bit more, let me tell you..."

Jin Shengfei told Chi Miao about the Chi Miao Cult.

Chi Miao was stunned.

"So, I'll stop being a walking blessing machine from now on?"

Jin Shengfei: "It's alright, only those who believe in you will receive a share."

Chi Miao: "That's great! You guys should offer incense for me later, maybe I really can become a virtuous immortal."

Ying Wuhuo could hardly bear to listen anymore.

Who the hell burns incense for a living person?!

Chi Miao sat down and studied it for a while. He finally figured out the Golden Light of Merit and silently withdrew.

No matter how much she tried to conceal it, her skin always had a faint golden hue, making her look exceptionally divine.

One by one, everyone stood up, and Jin Shengfei sized up Chi Miao:

"I must say, your special effects are really cool."

Chi Miao: "Right, I think so too."

The two chatted and laughed.

Ying Wuhuo was so angry he almost laughed; they were just too much.

"Perhaps I should remind you that you have already spent two days in the Sword Tomb, and there is only one day left."

"If you can't choose a sword within one day... you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

Chi Miao: "Hey, with my strength and talent, choosing a sword is a piece of cake! I'll give the order, and you'll see all these swords obediently follow my commands!"

Jin Shengfei: "You've gone too far, sister."

Chi Miao: "Why shouldn't people be arrogant? People are meant to be arrogant, young and impetuous!"

Ying Wuhuo: "..."

My head hurts so much, I feel like my brain is going to explode.

Despite saying that, they didn't waste any time and slowly approached the core of the Sword Tomb.

Without the approach of thunder and ghosts, this place truly resembles a tourist resort.

"With such beautiful sunshine, the Sword Tomb will probably see it every day from now on."

It makes me laugh just thinking about it.

The problem that had plagued the Sword Tomb for thousands of years has now been solved in such an abstract way.

The group arrived at the core of the Sword Tomb, where countless swords were stuck in the ground, their spiritual energy weak.

Chi Miao: "Naked Swimming Bro, why do all the swords here seem so weak and lifeless? Weren't they supposed to be awesome spirit swords?"

Ying Wuhuo: "There's been a small problem with the Sword Tomb recently, but it's not a big one. Once these swords recognize their masters and are taken out of the Sword Tomb, everything will be normal."

"I see."

Chi Miao smiled and took a deep breath.

"Step back! I'm about to show off."

Everyone: "?"

Chi Miao: "I'll show you what it means to have a single call to arms and a hundred responses, a thousand swords clanging in unison!"

"Sword, come!"
