The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 54 - 29 Merit Descends from Heaven

54: Chapter 29 Merit Descends from Heaven

54 -29 Merit Descends from Heaven

Looking at the scene before them, where corpses floated everywhere and the ground was littered with the starved dead, Ao Long and the other two turned an ashen hue.

Back then, when the Innate Three Clans walked upon the Primordial Land, how boundless and magnificent they were!

And how they commanded the winds and the clouds?

Among the Primordial Clans facing these Three Clans, which did not flatter and follow every command?

But now?

In the Yun Meng Swamp, the Three Clans clashed fiercely with Luo Hou’s Fierce Beast Army, suffering great losses.

From the billions of their people, now barely one in ten remained.

Moreover, every member of their clans carried a dense load of crimson Karma.

If this continued for long, these remaining clan members would, burdened by heavy Karma, likewise perish to extinction.

How could this not enrage the Clan Leaders of the Three Clans?

How could it not make the Clan Leaders anxious?

“Clan Leader Lin Tian, with the Three Clans now in decline, if we don’t come up with some solutions, I’m afraid our Three Clans will be in peril.”

Feng Tian’s expression was worried, and a faint sadness flowed from his slender Phoenix Eyes.

“As things stand, the only solution is for our clans to properly repay the karmic debts of this world, to reduce the sins we Three Clans have committed!”

Lin Tian pondered for a long while, but found no solution.

“But how shall we repay it?” Ao Long’s usual lofty demeanor had vanished, and the whites of his eyes, now free from bloodshot veins, showed his exhaustion.

…

The three fell into silence for a while.

“Do the three Clan Leaders still remember the Four Symbols Divine Beasts?” Li Qingming, who had been silently listening to their conversation, suddenly spoke up.

“Hmm?

Youngster, what do you mean by that?” Apparently, Feng Tian still harbored resentment for Li Qingming’s slaughter of the Three Clans.

“Those Four Symbols Divine Beasts were created by the Heaven and Earth Laws, ultimately senseless spirits!

If…”

Li Qingming stopped there; speaking further was pointless.

“Sss, you’re suggesting?”

Which of the Clan Leaders wasn’t old and cunning?

Anyone who still didn’t understand at this point would not deserve to be called a Clan Leader.

Ao Long’s expression changed rapidly: blue, green, red, white, he seemed to manifest all the flavors of life.

After a while, Ao Long heaved a sigh and declared loudly:

“Heavenly Dao above, I, Ao Long of the Dragon Clan, Ancestor Dragon, am willing to transform into the Azure Dragon of the Eastern Jia Wood, willing to become a Heavenly Dao Holy Beast.

From now on, the Dragon Clan will forever preside over the Primordial Water Veins, govern the weather for a harmonious world, and protect the Primordial Land!

To repay the karmic debts of my Dragon Clan!”

“Roar!”

Infinite Merit descended from heaven, and Ao Long soared into the sky as he transformed into the Ancestor Dragon True Body.

The crimson dragon’s body instantly turned green.

A vast aura that enveloped the heavens and earth spread from Ao Long’s body.

“Azure Dragon of Jia Wood takes its place!”

“Swoosh!”

The Azure Dragon flew into the sky and disappeared from sight.

“Heavenly Dao above, I, Feng Tian of the Phoenix Clan, the Ancestor Phoenix, am willing to transform into the Vermilion Bird of the Southern Bing Fire, willing to become a Heavenly Dao Holy Beast.

From now on, the Phoenix Clan will forever preside over the Tian Nan Undying Volcano, govern the Earth Veins, and protect the Primordial Land!

To repay the karmic debts of my Phoenix Clan!”

“Screech!”

Infinite Merit descended from heaven, and Feng Tian ascended to the skies as he transformed into the Ancestor Phoenix True Body.

The pure gold phoenix’s body instantly turned red.

The same oppressive force spread from Feng Tian’s body.

“Bing Fire Vermilion Bird takes its place!”

“Whoosh!”

The Vermilion Bird shot straight into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

“The Heavenly Dao reigns supreme, today the Qilin Clan’s Ancestor Lin Tian volunteers to transform into the Central Xu auspicious beast of Wu Earth, willing to become a sacred beast for the Heavenly Dao.

Whenever the Qilin Clan emerges, it brings auspicious omens!

Tasked with overseeing fortune and calamity, and protecting the Primordial World, to repay the karma of our Qilin Clan!”

“Roar!”

Heaven bestows Infinite Merit; Lin Tian, standing upon the ground, turns into his Qilin True Body—his silver-white limbs instantly take on a Red Gold Color.

The same majestic aura that preceded now radiates from Lin Tian.

“The Central auspicious beast takes its place!”

“Neigh!”

The Qilin burrows into the depths of the earth, disappearing from sight.

The remnants of the Three Clans gaze bemusedly at the actions of their clan leaders, now with cries of lamentation filling the sky.

“Qingmingzi, you sure know how to scheme!” Yang Mei releases Li Yanran from within his inner world, gazing intently at Li Qingming with a gleaming sharpness in his eyes.

“Senior flatters me too much, where does the talk of scheming come from!

I simply couldn’t bear to watch the Innate Three Clans thus perish in the Primordial World,” responded Li Qingming with a mild smile, appearing to possess an air akin to Hong Jun.

Hong Jun gestured for Qingmingzi to collect the Huangquan Ancestor and the Nine Nether Ancestor into the Qiankun Tripod, then spoke calmly, “Alright, we still need to attend to the qi of the earth veins in the Western Territory, to heal these innocent beings!”

The crowd echoed in unison: “Good!”

…

Who knows how many years have passed, despite the relentless efforts of everyone, the destruction of the earth veins of the Western land was severe.

The realm that was once full of vitality now lay in ruins.

Desolate mountains, withered plants, and the occasional violent surges of earth qi breaking the surface—all served to expose the desolation of the Western land to all living beings of the Primordial World.

Now, Li Qingming was somewhat looking forward to the expressions of Zhunti and the other once they return to the West.

“Boom!”

The clear skies roar with thunder.

Suddenly, a roiling Merit Cloud flies towards Mount Sumeru, turning the stars in its wake; the Chaos Qi surges immensely.

Within tens of thousands of miles, the entire Western land glimmers with golden light, dazzling to the extreme.

The Merit Cloud arrives above the group led by Li Qingming.

Silently it splits into portions, with the largest two going respectively to Hong Jun and Li Qingming.

The Three Pure Ones, Hong Jun, and mother-son Li Yanran each receive a share.

One share whirls towards Mount Buzhou in the East, while the rest scatters across the Western land.

At that moment, spring arrives with blooming flowers, where hundreds of flowers burst forth in unison!

Hong Jun pays no mind to this Merit; he lets it merge into his being.

One can see a burst of golden light enveloping Hong Jun, which soon returns to serenity.

Although the Three Pure Ones have already reached the Early Quasi-Saint stage, they currently only understand forceful enlightenment and Hong Jun has not imparted the method of corporal severance; they, too, put away the Merit they received.

Yang Mei, however, casually directs a stream of the Merit force towards Li Yanran, whose aura surges wildly with the aid of this Merit, and she breaks through Taiyi Cultivation in the blink of an eye, aiming directly for the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak.

Li Qingming, though seeking Merit, does not intend to use it for himself.

He stores the majority of the Merit within the Qiankun Tripod and directs a smaller portion towards Li Qingquan.

Li Qingquan, with closed eyes accepting the Merit, is indifferent.

With the power of this Merit, his cultivation leaps astonishingly to the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak.

Each flower blooms, each in its own splendor.

Speaking of the day when the Calamity ended, the Daoist couple Feng Tian and Huang Tian, along with their clan, returned to the Undying Volcano.

On their journey, they encountered a place with innately perfect Qi of the Five Elements and Yin and Yang.

Sensing destiny, they laid two eggs.

Though they were tempted to bring them back to the Undying Volcano, recalling the oath made by Feng Tian, they decisively left the eggs there, set up multilayered Arrays, and without looking back, returned to the Undying Volcano.

After Feng Tian led his clan away, a short Daoist in a dull yellow robe and a sleazy expression stealthily emerged from underground.

Cunningly observing for a while, and ensuring no one was around, he sneakily shot two streams of Black Light at the giant eggs.

Then, chuckling to himself, he said, “I truly am a Heavenly Person, such Innate arithmetic is unparalleled in the Primordial World!”

Having said that, he burrowed back underground, vanishing without a trace!

With the dominion of the Three Clans gone, and Luo Hou’s Demon Crowd no more, an era of prosperity and flourish descended upon the Primordial Land!
