The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 3 Merit and Virtue (New book, please support!)

The theory of nourishing essence to strengthen qi and blood and improve physical health is naturally very easy for many experts to understand.

Therefore, Mr. Tai spoke very quickly without any pauses.

After he finished speaking, he had a thought and two Taoist talismans flew out from his body.

"These two Dao talismans of the little god are condensed from the 'Five Dragons Refining Spirit Diagram' and the 'Five Dragons Refining Form Diagram' passed down by the First Ancestor, the Five Dragons Clan. The former is combined with the primordial spirit, and the latter is combined with the physical body. They absorb and refine the essence of heaven and earth to nourish and refine the form and spirit. This is also the first step in the cultivation of the acquired godhood system."

As the two Daoist talismans appeared, the many powerful figures on both sides immediately became more serious.

"When one's own qi and blood are strong enough to bear more talismans, one can condense more talismans and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

As he spoke, with a thought, one Dao talisman after another transformed into beams of light and shot out from Taiyi's lower dantian, hovering in the air.

"This is a Daoist talisman created from the art of breath control, used to capture the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"This is a guiding technique... to regulate the flow of qi and breath to strengthen the body."

"The Five Dragons Golden Light Technique, the Five Dragons Life-Extending Technique, the Five Dragons Water Purification Technique, the Five Dragons Evil-Burning Technique, and the Five Dragons Earth-Suppressing and Soul-Calming Technique were all developed by the minor deity from the Five Dragons Divine Mantra. They can not only capture the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also slay demons and ward off evil, and purify vital energy."

"Over time, the essence of the human body is purified and gathers like a sea, which the little god calls the Sea of ​​Essence."

No one asked any questions. Taiyi paused for a moment, then continued, "This is the second step in cultivation, based on the Daoist methods, which can be called forging the foundation of the Dao."

"The third step is to open the body's energy channels."

"The acupoints of the human body are the places where the essence of qi and blood converges, and they correspond to the stars in the heavens."

"By storing the body's essence in acupoints and allowing the flow of Qi and blood to change at will, one can attain a body comparable to that of a demigod!"

Taiyi quickly finished explaining the three realms and the theoretical system.

As soon as he finished speaking, the outside was filled with a vast expanse of purple mist.

Giant Spirit stared blankly, and seeing the golden light bloom within the purple aura, he couldn't help but exclaim, "The Merit of Profound Yellow!"

He immediately understood that his younger brother's acquired godhood cultivation system was quite remarkable, as he had actually obtained the Xuanhuang Merit.

The purple aura contracted like clouds and fell into the Lingxiao Palace of the Mi Luo Palace.

Inside the hall, Taiyi, who was enveloped in purple aura, was also somewhat surprised, but then he understood.

Mysterious and Yellow Merit!

This is great stuff!

He quickly used his primordial spirit to draw all the purple energy into his Purple Mansion, transforming it into a round halo that hung behind his primordial spirit's head.

The golden light of merit shone forth, illuminating the primordial spirit and physical body, and Taiyi immediately felt something different.

With a clear mind, distracting thoughts vanish like smoke in an instant.

"The legendary Tiger Balm is indeed extraordinary."

Taiyi was secretly delighted.

Watching him absorb the Xuanhuang merit, the Human Emperor laughed and said, "Everyone, although this method is simple, it makes the divine path more complete. Congratulations!"

The experts all nodded in agreement.

The First Emperor laughed and said, "This talisman is indeed wonderful; it deserves Your Majesty's praise!"

Taiyi's system of cultivating gods through acquired means also prioritizes the Dao and takes the Dao as its core. It is consistent with the core concept of the contemporary divine way that the god and the Dao are the same. Indeed, it further supplements the method of becoming a god through sacrifice on the basis of the method of becoming a god through acquired means.

Of course, at this time, the great gods such as Zulong valued the Dao talismans displayed by Taiyi.

The Daoist talisman can be seen as a simplification of the divine talisman for becoming a god, which is just right for beings born after birth.

Therefore, this system of cultivation is necessarily more suitable for beings born after birth than the method of becoming a god through sacrifice.

Even if there are many divine positions in the divine court, the number of post-natal beings in the primordial world cannot compare to the vast number of beings. Each one is a separate pit, and the power of sacrifice will be constantly diluted.

Of course, the practice of worshipping gods has now become one of the irreplaceable foundations of the divine court's rule over the three realms and heavens.

Taiyi didn't interrupt. He was part of a group of powerful figures, and there was no place for him to speak. He couldn't just spout nonsense, lest he incur karmic consequences and die without even knowing how.

This is the primordial world!

Therefore, he is very honest.

A moment later, the Emperor's gaze fell upon Taiyi again, and he smiled, "Taiyi has rendered meritorious service to the flourishing of the divine path and deserves a reward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two beams of light entered Taiyi's body.

Tai Yi quickly bowed in gratitude.

"This method still has room for improvement; you must not slacken your efforts. Go!"

The Emperor offered a word of encouragement.

"Your humble servant obeys and will not slacken in his duties!"

Taiyi bowed respectfully before leaving the Lingxiao Palace.

After descending the jade steps, the Giant Spirit hurriedly came forward and quietly asked, "Was that Xuanhuang Merit yours just now?"

"Have any of the great masters spoken to you?"

"Did you receive any guidance from an expert?"

……

With a flurry of questions, the Giant Spirit opened his mouth and launched into a series of inquiries.

Taiyi replied to each one.

Giant Spirit rode the cloud to the Five Dragon Palace, saying with regret, "It's a pity I didn't receive guidance from the great gods, otherwise, with your comprehension, you would surely have made great progress in your cultivation."

Taiyi, however, was very open-minded and laughed, "To have gained so much merit is already an unexpected joy."

"With my current level of cultivation, wouldn't it be a waste to have His Majesty and the great gods guide me?"

"Even if we've experienced this now, there will be other opportunities in the future."

Giant Spirit laughed loudly, "That makes sense! I was mistaken. I was greedy and insatiable, hahaha!"

……

Upon returning to the Five Dragons Palace, Taiyi was immediately summoned by the Five Dragons.

After entering the hall and paying his respects, the Imperial Uncle asked, "Taiyi, do you know why His Majesty wants to see you today?"

Taiyi had already considered this matter and said, "Could it be because of merit?"

"That's exactly right."

The Imperial Uncle smiled and said, "The method you created can further complete the divine cultivation system, benefit the Divine Court, and assist Heaven and Earth. It can be said to have contributed to the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

Taiyi seemed to be deep in thought.

Huang Shao, the last of the Five Dragon Clan, explained: "Since Pangu, the Primordial Heavenly King, created the world, he has performed three great deeds."

"The first is meritorious service to Heaven, which is to have done good for Heaven."

"The second is the merit of the earth, which is to have done good deeds in the earth."

"Thirdly, it is the merit of human beings, which is to have done good for humanity."

Huang Zhongdao said, "All the innate deities are born in accordance with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and are born to wield the Great Dao. As the saying goes, gods and the Dao are one. If Your Majesty and many great gods recognize them, then the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will approve of them."

The Imperial Uncle also said, "His Majesty the Human Emperor governs humanity. To gain His Majesty's approval is to gain the approval of humanity."

"Otherwise, if you want to obtain Xuanhuang Merit, you must travel the world to spread the Dharma. Only after you have succeeded can you gain recognition and obtain Xuanhuang Merit."

Taiyi suddenly understood and gained a clearer understanding of merit.

Huang Ji laughed and said, "Merit is hard to come by, and its uses are numerous. You should make good use of it."

Taiyi hurriedly said, "Please enlighten me, Ancestor."

Huang Ji said, "If it is not used directly, it will be transformed into a golden wheel of merit, which can ward off evil spirits, eliminate distracting thoughts, and also help one to attain enlightenment."

"Its origin lies in the fact that the merit of Xuanhuang is based on the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, which is also known as the Xuanhuang Dao Qi or the Mother Qi of All Things. It contains creation and gives rise to the Dao, which is mysterious beyond mystery."

"Therefore, the merit of Xuanhuang can be used to improve one's cultivation, increase one's magical power, and can also be used to refine divine artifacts and even spiritual treasures. It can be said to have endless wonderful uses."

The Imperial Uncle added, "We are the righteous gods of Heaven and Earth, wielding the power of Heaven and Earth, and we also have merits, but they cannot compare with what you have gained today. In addition, it is accumulated over time and subtly, so it is not outwardly apparent."

After some explanation, Taiyi had a rough plan on how to use the Xuanhuang merit.

Wu Longshi did not inquire further. The Imperial Uncle asked, "You have rendered great service this time. Would you like to stay in the Divine Court?"

It is something that can be imagined, not something that can be desired.

Taiyi's mind raced, and he quickly replied, "Taiyi is willing to follow the arrangements of the venerable ancestors!"

The Emperor was very pleased and said, "You have the skill to govern the people; the mortal realm is most suitable for you."

"When you return, Juling will accompany you and become the mountain god of the Longmen Mountains to protect you."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi was greatly shaken and immediately bowed deeply, solemnly saying, "Taiyi will certainly not fail the expectations of all the ancestors!"
