Chapter 142: Golden Light of Merit
Outside the secret hall.
The former Soul Executing Valley's Sha Wuye, Blood Cloud Pavilion's Pavilion Master Xu Changlin, as well as Chi Xingzi, Cang Xue, Yang Song, and others, all stood respectfully at the door, patiently waiting.
Although they had been standing for over an hour, the people present did not show the slightest hint of impatience. The master inside the secret hall was a terrifying existence that could annihilate them with just a thought.
In the cultivation world, the strong were respected, and those who were weaker had no choice but to be controlled by others.
Now that the territories of Blood Cloud Pavilion and Soul Executing Valley had merged, along with numerous vassal forces, they had a total of twenty-three floating continents of various sizes. The largest one exceeded twelve thousand miles in diameter, and the combined population of mortal citizens exceeded fifteen billion.
After the great battle, there were over three thousand surviving Divine Spirit Realm cultivators, over two hundred Perfected Being Realm cultivators, and over thirty True Self Realm cultivators. The various industries and resources were still relatively abundant.
Now, all of this belonged to the master inside the secret hall. If anyone present wanted to live comfortably in the future, they had to act according to his wishes.
Inside the heavily guarded secret hall, Qin Muling was sitting on a cloud bed, cultivating.
Deep in his sea of consciousness, the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed floated quietly. The five Azure Lotus leaf illusions were noticeably more solid than before, radiating a clear and pure light, permeating with a rich sense of spiritual and Daoist charm.
Flickering chaotic spiritual lights continuously emerged and separated from the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed and the Azure Lotus leaf illusions, carrying mysterious and inexplicable insights. They silently circled and flew for a moment, leaving behind countless brilliant trails, like shooting stars across the night sky, before merging into his divine soul and physical body.
A warm and pleasant feeling permeated his body and mind, bringing indescribable joy and contentment from the inside out. It was not much inferior to the wonderful experience of dual cultivation with Senior Sister.
Qin Muling had a realization in his heart. If he continued to cultivate and accumulate step by step without relying on external forces, it would take about ten years of hard work to advance to the next minor realm. After a hundred years, he would be able to smoothly step into the True Self Realm without any obstacles.
In the current state of the Extreme Void Starry Sky, even the monstrous geniuses among the major forces would experience a slowdown in their progress after reaching the Perfected Being Realm. They could no longer advance as rapidly as they did in the previous realms.
To reach the True Self Realm in about a hundred years was already quite remarkable. After all, Qin Muling's accumulation and foundation were significantly higher than those so-called monstrous geniuses, and could not be measured by common standards.
However, Qin Muling now had a dual cultivation partner and could absorb a massive amount of spiritual energy from Spirit Medicine and spiritual plants. The sect's high-end resources were readily available, so it would not be difficult to shorten this process. Perhaps it would only take twenty or thirty years to reach the peak of the Perfected Being Realm.
This speed was already terrifying. For high-level cultivators, a few decades would pass with just one closed-door cultivation session, which might not be enough.
"... I just don't know when Illusory Mist Secret Realm will open again."
Qin Muling silently pondered. The space within the Azure Lotus leaf illusion had expanded further, and it also contained a batch of high-level cultivation resources left by his master, Mu Yinghua.
According to the Supreme Elder, Qin Muling's special ability could not be detected by any divine ability in the current Extreme Void Starry Sky, so it was safest to keep things here, and no one could possibly steal them.
Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace had already prepared enough large-capacity spatial bracelets and spatial rings, and had built more Grotto-Heaven secret realms, waiting for the next opening of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm to go in and plunder to their heart's content.
Although the high-level members of the Heavenly Human Race remnants must have sensed that something was wrong, they simply cannot learn the truth. Moreover, with Qin Muling's increasing cultivation, as long as Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace continues to act low-key in the secret realm, there shouldn't be any major problems.
If the speculation of Yu Lingzhou and the others is correct, the trajectory of the Illusory Mist Secret Realm should be controllable, or at least partially influenced. Therefore, as long as the emperors of the Heavenly Human Race remnants join forces and pay a certain price, they can make the trajectory of that world and the Extreme Void Starry Sky overlap again in a short period of time, thus meeting the conditions for opening the secret realm.
Interrupting his wandering thoughts, Qin Muling redirected his attention to the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed. He noticed a subtle change in the Azure Lotus phantom, with a thin layer of golden light appearing on its surface at some point, and it was slowly increasing in intensity.
Qin Muling was slightly startled and slightly puzzled as he recalled and understood that this should be a reward bestowed upon him by the rules of the Great Dao after he purified the dead zones on the floating land with his innate divine ability, restoring the environment to normal.
This is not difficult to understand. Currently, the entire Extreme Void Starry Sky is in a period of continuous recovery after a great calamity. This is manifested by the revival of spiritual resonance, the increase in spiritual energy density, and the slow restoration of the environment on numerous void floating lands.
In such a trend, if a cultivator can conform to the will of heaven and make actions beneficial to the entire world, the rules of the Great Dao will naturally reward them according to the magnitude of their contributions.
The legendary ancient sages and powerful beings, each of them possessed a vast amount of merit, making them invulnerable to evil and causing all demons to retreat. They even transcended and achieved eternal enlightenment, all because their actions were beneficial to the supreme Great Dao, allowing them to enjoy such unparalleled blessings.
The dead zones purified by Qin Muling are now suitable for the reproduction and survival of normal living beings. This action undoubtedly accelerates the recovery of the environment, and it is only natural to be bestowed with the golden light of merit.
The Buddhist tradition especially values the value of merit, as it has a wide range of uses. It can be used for healing, alchemy, refining tools, improving cultivation, cleansing the meridians, and improving innate aptitude, among other things. Moreover, its effects are very good, without any hidden dangers or side effects, making it highly sought after by those powerful figures in the Buddhist tradition.
The Daoist tradition is not inferior in this regard. Any normal cultivator would not refuse the opportunity to obtain a large amount of merit. As long as there is enough merit, the benefits and improvements to one's own fortune and destiny are obvious. Therefore, many orthodox cultivators pay attention to accumulating external merits.
"It seems that I have found another way to quickly improve my cultivation." Qin Muling muttered to himself, and after silently operating his spiritual consciousness, he quickly came to a conclusion: by purifying all the floating lands he currently controls, when their environment is restored, he will have accumulated enough merit to impact the True Self Realm.
However, using this innate divine ability for half an hour would deplete all his mana. Even with the powerful recovery speed of the Innate Primordial Spirit Seed, it would still take a moment to fully recover. In fact, he wouldn't be able to use it many times in a day, and the range of areas that can be purified and restored is limited.
By the time Qin Muling achieves complete merit and can impact the True Self Realm, it may be close to ten years later.
"So, I still need the help of pills to save time." Qin Muling took out a bottle of Purple Citrus Revitalizing Pill from his spatial bracelet. This was one of the many resources Mu Yinghua had obtained from the sect's storeroom. It was a high-grade spiritual pill that could quickly replenish a cultivator's mana consumption. One pill could restore a True Self Realm cultivator to their peak state.
Although Qin Muling was only at the early stage of the Perfected Being Realm, his mana was far superior to that of a True Self Realm cultivator. It would take at least two Purple Citrus Revitalizing Pills for him to quickly replenish his consumption.
In the market outside, the price of one Purple Citrus Revitalizing Pill ranged from six to nine thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, depending on the quality of the pill. For ordinary True Self Realm cultivators, it was considered a relatively luxurious resource that they would not normally be willing to use. They would only consume a few pills when fighting for their lives.
Qin Muling counted all the inventory in his spatial bracelet and found that the total quantity exceeded fifteen thousand pills. It was evident that Mu Yinghua was indeed generous to him. Under normal circumstances, this batch of pills would last him a long time.
However, Qin Muling now had a new plan, and these resources were not enough. He would have to find another way.
There will be an update before dawn, and I will not break my promise. Please vote for monthly tickets and recommend this book.
