Chapter 3: The Descent of Merit and Virtue, the Return of the Yellow Dragon

  Heavenly blessings and virtues have descended, the Yellow Dragon has returned

  Shen Long used his superior magical power to explain his alchemy methods and insights, his voice spreading throughout the entire Dragon Realm space. More and more dragons came to listen, at this moment, all the light in the space converged on Shen Long's body, illuminating him to an extraordinary height.

  At this moment, Shen Long truly put himself in the position of the Dragon Clan's Ancestor.

  The method of refining this elixir is actually not difficult, it's just that one can't think of it.

  The first step is to take a bath and change clothes, letting your mood calm down.

  The second step is to burn incense and offer it to heaven, because refining elixirs requires the use of the great principles of the universe.

  The third step is to have a thorough understanding of the materials used for alchemy, and to design the order in which they are placed in the crucible. This can guarantee that they will not conflict with each other inside the crucible, causing an explosion. Moreover, it must be done in moderation, after all, there needs to be enough capacity to withstand the impact of the Great Dao talisman's flush.

  This is a long process that requires constant experimentation and research in order to develop a method for refining elixirs, which is known as the alchemical formula.

  The fourth step is to refine the elixir. After putting in the materials, it's about choosing the great Taoist symbols for the formation of the elixir. Some symbols pass through one place several times a day, while others only pass through once every few days. The more against heaven the elixir is, the longer you have to wait. As the saying goes, even Taishang Laojun's nine-turn golden elixir requires tens of thousands of years to refine. When the symbols pass by your side, you must seize them in time and pull them into the elixir furnace, letting them flush the medicine, finally forming the elixir.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  When Shen Long finished teaching his alchemy, a sudden clap of thunder was heard. In the vast and desolate outside world, the eastern sky suddenly filled with golden light, which then pierced into the Dragon Realm. All living creatures in the Desolate Lands looked up at the sky with shocked faces.

  The southern undying volcano, the fierce phoenix can't control its own flames, the fire of jealousy burns all living things around it to ashes.

  On the mountain of Qilin, Mo Qilin looked up at the sky and said, "Will that group of arrogant guys still collect merit? It must be a coincidence. However, this merit is too much! It's fully one percent of the amount needed to open the sky. What exactly did they do?"

  The primordial great powers each have different expressions.

  On top of a nameless great mountain, inside a purple palace, an old Taoist saw that boundless merit and frowned slightly.

  In a dark abyss, a being emitting boundless darkness, devouring and evil aura gazed at the boundless virtues, with greedy glints bursting in its eyes.

  When Golden Light entered the Dragon Realm, Shen Long was taken aback. I'm telling myself that refining elixirs still has merit?

  Regardless of Shen Long's doubts, the Merit Cloud Sea split into two above his head, with nine parts entering his body and one part entering Ao Kun's body. It was Ao Kun's contribution that helped him, and he quickly sat down to absorb and refine it. However, Shen Long simply waved his sleeve and took back the merit. Shen Long had just advanced in rank, and these merits would be accumulated for future use.

  In fact, Shen Long didn't need to be puzzled at all. The Heavenly Dao is impartial and only cares about what benefits the development of the Hongmeng world. As long as it's beneficial, the Heavenly Dao will bestow merit, regardless of who it is that brings the benefit.

  Indeed, Shen Long's elixir was a revolution since the beginning of Pangu's creation, because the cultivation methods of the ancient people of Honghuang were different from those calculated by Shen Long in his previous life.

  The Taoist emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, cultivation is for understanding the Tao, pursuing the Tao, hoping to integrate with the Tao, using the law of the Tao to cultivate. What is cultivated is the yuan Shen and the Dao Xin.

  At that time, the primitive people of Honghuang rose from battle, they were not afraid of heaven or earth, they only believed in themselves, and also created their creed "my fate is determined by me, not by heaven". They cultivated fate, of course, there are also those who cultivate condensed aura like the dragon tribe, and Shen Long's cultivation of merit.

  However, whether it is cultivating one's vital energy or cultivating virtues, they all serve the purpose of cultivating one's destiny and are for the sake of transforming their fate.

  The primitive people of Honghuang were born with the awakening of the divine realm, and their divine powers lay dormant in their physical bodies.

  When advancing to the Tianxian stage, one must extract their divine powers from their physical body and form a virtual divine power body. This is what they cultivate as their fate, commonly known as their destiny pattern. The Tianxian realm has its own virtual destiny pattern. This is also a sign of advancing to the Tian line.

  And they want to advance to the Taiyi realm, then they need to increase the number of divine powers or increase the intensity of the divine powers. They take in the heavenly way symbols from the heavens and earth to form divine powers. When their fate becomes a real entity, it is considered entering the Taiyi realm.

  As they advance to the Daluo realm, they must have selective refinement of their divine abilities, abandoning most of their divine abilities and cultivating one or several into heavenly dao divine abilities. At this point, their fate will transform from its original circular shape towards the true form of living beings. When it is completely transformed into the true form, it can be considered as advancing to the peak of Daluo.

  And Da Luo advances to the quasi-saint stage, requiring him to transform his heavenly way divine ability, transforming his heavenly way divine ability into a world, and existing permanently within his own destiny.

  The realm of the sage is presumably to use one's own heavenly way and divine power to complete the evolution of the world in one's own destiny, able to exist independently without relying on the Desolate World, that is, to let one's own fate break free from the shackles of the Desolate World's destiny river.

  This is the saint, Honghuang destroyed and I am not destroyed.

  This primitive's series of advancement paths in the vast wilderness cannot be separated from the divine, and the divine is a certain segment of the manifestation of the Heavenly Way. Shen Long refining his divine into elixirs undoubtedly shortened their advancement time.

  The Heavenly Dao rewards all measures that benefit the Heavenly Dao, and since the opening of the Primordial Chaos, there has never been a Saint who helps the Heavenly Dao to govern the Primordial Chaos. This elixir that increases spiritual powers can undoubtedly quickly make the creatures of the Primordial Chaos advance in rank, thus giving rise to Saints. Therefore, Shen Long naturally deserves this merit.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  At this time, the Tianlong and Dilong also exchanged a glance, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes. With their level of cultivation, it was easy to discover the value of such a pill. If the dragon tribe possessed it, why worry about not being able to dominate the Hongyuan?

  Those dragon elders who did not perform their duties in the Dragon Realm also had an incredulous expression. In the past, because of the late awakening of the Ancestor Xuan, those elders, although they didn't say anything on the surface, found it difficult to obey his management from the bottom of their hearts. This was also the reason why Shen Long never interfered with the affairs of the dragon tribe.

  In addition, Shen Long was unwilling to fight and kill, and rarely appeared in public, which also made the elders of the dragon clan only remember that they had a heavenly dragon who was good at management, an earth dragon who was good at assistance, a yellow dragon who was good at fighting, but this Xuan Zu was selectively forgotten by them.

  The elders also exchanged a glance, nodded, "It seems that none of those who can become the Ancestral Dragon are simple." They finally acknowledged Shen Long's position in the dragon clan from the bottom of their hearts.

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  Just then, there was a commotion outside.

  "What's going on?" Tian Long furrowed his brow and asked the guard beside him.

  A moment later, a guard rushed in, "Report, Heavenly Ancestor, Huang Zu has returned after unifying the four seas."

  "What? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Compared to Shen Long's elixir, Huang Long's contribution is even greater. This is even more related to one's own ability to condense the grand momentum. The elixir is only effective for those below Da Luo Jinxian, including Da Luo Jinxian, but it's unknown whether it will work for Quan Sheng. However, the aura can allow one's cultivation to upgrade to the late stage of Tianwei, directly increasing their cultivation speed by three hundred times.

  "All dragons, assemble - to welcome Huang Zu!" Tian Long excitedly called out to the crowd of dragons still in shock, then turned around to explain to Shen Long who was full of doubt.

  "Xiao San and Xiao Huang are back. We went to welcome them, offer sacrifices to heaven, and upgrade the occupation altar."

  Xiao San, Xiao Huang? Why can't you have a nice name? Please, call me by my full name.

  Shen Long was sulking with a gloomy face, grumbling in his heart.
