The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 54 Unparalleled Luck, Supreme Merit!

Feng Xi is rather greedy.

When faced with temptation, he actually tried to think—to have it all!

He was thinking of getting a cheat code that could handle everything.

Treasure hunting?

you can!

To save one's life?

you can!

……

You can do anything you want.

Such excessive demands are generally considered fantasies and are almost impossible to realize.

but!

Before the omnipotent Great Sage Fuxi, nothing is impossible.

In a very short time, he pointed out a clear path for Feng Xi, picking out a system and placing it in front of Feng Xi.

"System!"

Feng Xi felt a little strange.

His initial reaction was to refuse.

Because systems like these have always been known for their terrifying reputation.

Many miserable hosts, after being selected by the "system," feel as if they have gained an irresistible "father" on their heads, being ordered around and running around until their legs are about to break.

"Traversing the primordial wilderness, and then going to the battlefield in the future... life is already tough enough as it is."

Why bother having a father figure above you?

This is Feng Xi's idea.

Of course, the existence of a system has both drawbacks and benefits.

It is not as safe as a typical external magical artifact, but it is much simpler to figure out its uses.

All sorts of functions are clearly laid out in front of the host, with foolproof operation that doesn't require racking your brains to figure out, putting you on the shortcut from the very beginning.

Since a shortcut was taken, it's not surprising that there are some safety risks involved.

fair enough.

With a conflicted heart, Feng Xi frowned as she examined the so-called "Luck and Merit System".

He focused intently, watching countless torrents of information surge within them, and the myriad profound laws unfolding before his eyes, leaving him bewildered... However, the system spirit he had expected did not appear.

Feng Xi looked up, puzzled, at Xi Huang, only to see the Great Sage say calmly, "The consciousness within has been destroyed and obliterated by me... It has been reduced from an intelligent version to a manual operation version."

"However, if you find that troublesome, I can revive it for you... but..."

Xi Huang seemed to have a slightly wicked smile on his face. "You might have to do some very embarrassing things under its influence... thereby attracting the attention of others, creating a causal and fortune-related interaction between you, which becomes the energy source that supports its operation."

"No, no, no... I think it's fine as it is. It's not troublesome at all, not troublesome at all!"

Feng Xi said repeatedly.

After saying that, he calmed down and examined the information inside.

After a rough deliberation, Feng Xi couldn't help but sigh inwardly... This cheat was indeed powerful and lived up to its name.

Luck!

Merit!

These two words are anything but ordinary.

Because, according to legend, although they are inconspicuous and do not show off, they have left behind countless reputations and are the root of all the turmoil and calamities in the world!

Legend has it that those who accumulate immeasurable merit can become saints or ancestors!

Legend has it that all the great calamities are for the purpose of vying for destiny!

They possess almost omnipotent functions, which even the most powerful and influential beings would covet!

Therefore, they did not hesitate to fight for supremacy, which triggered a great calamity, and the blood stained the sky and the bones piled up like mountains.

For this reason, they didn't hesitate to turn against each other and hire outsiders to beat up their own family members.

What do the demands Feng Xi made before amount to compared to luck and merit?

Do you want a treasure that can help with your cultivation?

Have you ever heard of the chosen one?

If you have enough luck, you will have boundless blessings.

You can kick something randomly while walking down the street and it will unleash a naturally occurring spiritual object; it's simply unreasonable!

Want to protect yourself in war?

With great merit and profound fortune, one can turn misfortune into good fortune and avert disaster.

Etc., etc.

There's nothing that luck and merit can't achieve, only things you haven't thought of!

If so, it means you don't have enough luck!

As Feng Xi looked at the detailed entries and exchange options in the "Luck and Merit System," her breathing became rapid.

"Can burning one's luck force one to obtain the 'great opportunity' they desire?"

"Wishing for something to come true—this directly encompasses a range of desires, including treasure hunting and survival..."

"Can burning merit transform into miraculous energy, fundamentally enhancing the potential of living beings and improving their wisdom and understanding?"

"Whether it's cultivation or practicing magic and supernatural powers, I must surpass my former self... and this method seems to have no limits, allowing me to use it indefinitely?"

"With this kind of consistent effort over time, how could I not gradually stand out from my peers?"

After watching for a long time, Feng Xi couldn't help but sigh.

Admittedly, he was moved, deeply moved.

Of course, a few doubts lingered in his mind and wouldn't go away.

He asked what he didn't understand, directly consulting Fuxi, "Great Sage Fuxi... I feel that such a system should be helpful to you, right?"

"Giving this to me like this... seems too expensive?"

"Valuable? Not really," Xi Huang chuckled. "After all, this is merely a device, not a source of fortune and merit. True fortune and merit would make even ordinary Great Luo Immortals drool... because these are resources that aid cultivation at that level!"

"Therefore, every Great Luo has conducted very, very in-depth research on the realm of fortune and merit."

Fuxi had a deep smile on his face... Judging from his expression, he seemed to be recalling a past era in which many interesting stories took place.

"When something of value is placed before everyone... after the simple struggle for it, the inevitable thing is to study it." He continued, "The victors will not be satisfied with one plunder; they will want more, so they will study it. The underdogs are unwilling to accept their situation and will try to study it while trying to break the deadlock, creating artificial fortune and merit."

"Man-made fortune and merit?" Feng Xi was completely confused.

"If I put it that way, you might be a little confused..." Xi Huang pondered for a moment, "Let me put it another way, and you'll understand."

"If we don't deify luck and merit, but simply see them as resources and money... artificial luck and merit are like making inferior goods and passing them off as superior ones; making medicine and passing it off as real gold."

Feng Xi's face showed a look of horror.

Having said all that, what else could he not understand?

The struggle for fortune and merit is like a commercial war, a battle for the market and the pursuit of profits.

The winners control most of the market and reap enormous profits.

Losers can only get scraps... How can they be content with seeing others feasting on meat and fish while they themselves only have plain soup and rice?

He steeled his resolve and decided to take a crooked path.

In a normal business situation where the market is occupied, there is large-scale suppression, and profits are so thin that there is almost no profit, selling counterfeit goods as genuine goods and using medicine as gold... As long as you successfully sell and get real money, you can achieve an amazing transformation and get hundreds or thousands of times the cost in profit.

Someone once said that when there is a suitable profit, people become bolder. A 10% profit will make people eager to try; a 50% profit will make people want to take risks; when the profit doubles, people will no longer fear the oppression from above; when it triples or even more... it is no wonder that the challenges become stronger and people are no longer afraid of death.

The powerful cultivators of the primordial world deeply understood this principle.

Moreover, these powerful individuals are not exactly law-abiding citizens.

Dare to dream!

Daring to do more!

"How terrifying... What era did this happen in? There must have been a magnificent war and conflict behind it, right?" Feng Xi exclaimed, her heart filled with wonder.

"Indeed." Fuxi nodded. "How could the first ancient calamity of the primordial world—the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity—be simple?"

"That was the era when the functions of fortune and merit were discovered... And because of this, the camp led by the Ancestral Dragon and the group led by the Phoenix embarked on the path of vying for all the fortune in the entire prehistoric world."

"They fantasize about gathering the fortune of heaven and earth into one's own body, entering a supreme realm, and hoping to challenge Pangu."

"And this road is destined to be bloody and stormy... Along the way, countless independent mountain forces have been wiped out, forcing them to choose sides."

Xi Huang recounted an ancient history, a time of even more ancient dragon and phoenix eras.

"Many innate saints are losers in this ultimate confrontation... However, with losers, there are also victors."

"In this era, most of the great supernatural beings who far surpass ordinary Great Luo Immortals have gotten a share of the pie from that era."

"Otherwise, normally everyone comes from the same background, and no one is worse than the other in terms of talent and comprehension. How could there be such a big gap and chasm?"

"The Great Luo hierarchy of the demon race consists of four demon emperors, ten demon generals, and hundreds of demon gods... In fact, they are all innate deities."

"However, their respective positions are worlds apart... that's why we made the right bet back then!"

"During the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, he reaped great fortune and merit, and also escaped unscathed from the evil machinations of the Demon Ancestor Rahu... Therefore, he possesses astonishing strength, far surpassing that of ordinary Great Luo Immortals."

As Feng Xi listened, he couldn't help but sigh—none of those great supernatural beings were simple.

"Of course... many Great Luo Immortals in the Dragon and Phoenix Era were aware of this situation," Fuxi said, "regardless of whether they were victors or vanquished."

"The victors, of course, strengthen their control over capital, develop one method after another to control the market, and set the rules of the game... while the losers, ingenious and unscrupulous, engage in all sorts of petty tricks, and for a time, false luck and false merits run rampant, filling the world."

"At its most ferocious, it had already shaken the top-level rule of the Dragon and Phoenix camps... If it weren't for that, Rahu would have had a hard time finding an opportunity to destroy the Dragon and Phoenix hegemony in one fell swoop."

"Otherwise, what good would it do if he inherited the legacy of the Chaos God?"

"Thousands of innate saints, thousands of Daluo supreme beings, the strongest of whom are in no way inferior to him... Moreover, the Dragon and Phoenix clans each have their own clan-protecting formations, which may not be inferior to the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation."

"With them all charging in, Rahu had no choice but to change tactics!"

Feng Xi was somewhat shocked... He never expected that so many major events would have occurred in that ancient era.
