Chapter 16: Heaven Bestows Merit, Foolish Bird Suffers Retribution

  In the omens of heaven, virtue is rewarded, and on the sun, the stupid bird suffers reckoning.

  "What? No way! I don't want to learn Pangu's skills, supporting the sky and standing on the earth, and then merging with the world." Shen Long looked at the strange phenomenon with concern.

  The sky was filled with wind and clouds, the clear air in the sky was all stirred up, forming a space wormhole. Seeing this, Shen Long's heart felt cold, could it be that the space was unstable?

  But in a short while, infinite merits of mysterious and yellow descended from the black hole, which was half as much as Pangu's merit of opening up the sky.

  "Merit? How can there be merit? Ah, the Primordial Merit." Shen Long's expression changed from great sorrow to great joy, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak.

  Only to see a huge mass of mysterious yellow energy, several tens of thousands of acres in size, descend onto Shen Long's head, then split into two parts. Ninety percent entered Shen Long's body, while ten percent entered the Purple Golden Ruyi. Just as Shen Long was about to retrieve it, he saw the Purple Golden Ruyi snatch away nearly ten percent from his ninety percent.

  "Damn it, I opened the sky with you, and for your sake, I've made great contributions to opening the sky. You still want to exploit me?" Shen Long scolded Zijin Ruyi fiercely.

  "Hum——" After absorbing the merits, the purple gold Ruyi seemed to be more spiritual, sticking to Shen Long's body, emitting a humming sound, as if it was being coquettish. It was Shen Long's congenital spirit treasure, and Shen Long could feel the thick affection of the purple gold Ruyi towards him.

  "Alright, go and absorb the upgrade yourself." Shen Long didn't plan on blaming him, perhaps the law of this Purple Gold Ruyi was just like that, sending him to refine his merits.

  Shen Long also had to absorb his own merits and virtues, so he first allocated them.

  A wisp of mysterious yellow air floated down from Shen Long's head, making him look incredibly sacred.

  "This world has just been established, and the aura of Xuan Huang is the great creation of this world." As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Long's painful hand waved, sprinkling five tenths of the Open Heaven Merit towards the heaven and earth. When Shen Long had just obtained the merit, this world sent a thought to Shen Long, wanting the merit to consolidate this world, and Shen Long also did not want any hidden dangers in this newly opened heaven and earth, so although it was painful, he still gave half of the merit.

  Only to see Shen Long had just given the heavenly virtue, only to see Shen Long had just cut off five hundred great paths with a frantic speed of change, becoming longer and thicker, and the symbols on top became more mysterious.

  "It's no wonder that after becoming a saint, they all have to open up their own Daoist temples in the midst of chaos and then keep digging into their own temples without coming out. It turns out that it's to connect their own great Dao with the world, so as to better and faster understand the great Dao." Shen Long thought to himself, and was also delighted at being able to make the right choice.

  "Leaving three tenths behind, two tenths to stay, and the rest for healing." Shen Long weakly exited the Chaos Pearl and sat in the cave to heal his wounds.

  Shen Long's quiet healing was suddenly disrupted, as the Primordial World erupted into chaos. Shen Long's Heaven-Opening had brought about a spectacular celestial phenomenon, with the merits of Pangu's half-successful attempt to open the heavens descending upon him. Who was this? What had he done? The powerful beings of the Primordial World were abuzz with speculation.

  The three Ancestral Dragons sat together with serious expressions in the Ancestral Dragon Hall. In the South, the Undying Volcano, the Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird were also together. At the Qilin Cliff, the two Qilin ancestors were also together. They all had one topic of discussion: who was so capable that they could gain such great merit? This was much faster than relying on luck.

  The ancestor of the Western White Tiger, staring at the merits of several acres, with endless evil spirits, killing spirits, and golden spirits emerging from his body. He had absorbed the Geng Jin Qi of a continent with such great effort, but no one had as much merit as he did in just one dynasty. In his heart, he vented all his resentment onto the Western Continent, fiercely absorbing the Geng Jin Qi.

  In the Arctic, Xuanwu opened and closed his eyes, staring blankly at Gongde, motionless. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was sleeping with his eyes open. After a while, he closed his eyes again and continued to sleep.

  Mount Bu Zhou, a mountain of immortals. An old Taoist opened his eyes, furrowed his brow, and continuously calculated with his fingers. In the end, he still let out a sigh and closed his eyes.

  In the depths of the abyss, a black-clad man who seemed to embody all evil gazed at the boundless virtues, his aura growing even colder. He shouted one word behind him: "Wú Tiān"

  On top of his head appeared a black lotus, which transformed into a black-haired man. He bowed to the black-robed figure and said " Luo Hou".

  "Let's get started."

  Yes

  In the vast expanse of the Honghuang, various forces saw this merit filled with a sense of oppressive urgency, their expressions varied.

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

  Xiuzhen has no years, in the blink of an eye a thousand years have passed, Shen Long wakes up from his healing meditation.

  "Even with the help of such great merit, it's only enough to heal my injuries... However... It's within expectations that my cultivation has advanced to the mid-Quasi-Saint stage." With his current situation, Shen Long revealed a smile.

  Looking at the Chaos Pearl in his hand, Shen Long didn't know what he was calculating. Suddenly, the corner of his eye twitched.

  "Alright, success or failure depends on this one move." Seemingly having made up his mind, Shen Long shouted and threw the Chaos Pearl in his hand like a flying stone. Then he sat down cross-legged.

  Shen Long just sat there, not cultivating, and his expression changed from relaxed to serious, becoming more and more tense.

  It seems like another round of closed doors, but this time it's longer and more prolonged.

  One thousand years... Two thousand years... Three thousand years...

  When three thousand years passed, the living beings in the vast wilderness only heard the "ding-dong" sound from the Sun Star, while Shen Long let out a "puff" and spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

  "Haha... It succeeded! Those two silly birds are still sleeping."

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

  Three thousand years ago, Shen Long had just finished his closed-door treatment and fully grasped the Hunyuan Pearl. However, when Shen Long was refining the main body of the Hunyuan Pearl, he discovered that it still had a variant attribute - it could fuse with any damaged Hunyuan Treasure to produce a new one. Therefore, Shen Long wanted to find something to merge with the Hunyuan Pearl and let it produce a new treasure.

  But Shen Long knew that the Chaos Treasures were only a few, Pangu Flag, Taiji Diagram, and Chaos Bell. The Pangu Flag and Taiji Diagram were later obtained by the Saints, but the consequences were too great, and Shen Long was afraid he couldn't bear it. Besides, they couldn't be found anyway. So he had to focus on the Chaos Bell. Who let the two silly birds on the Sun Star hold onto the Chaos Bell, shaking it in the sky above the Desolate Expanse every day?

  Shen Long has fully refined the Chaos Pearl, and after throwing out the Chaos Pearl, Shen Long controlled it to fly towards the Sun Star. After passing through the Sun's magnetic field, solar storm, and solar fire test, he finally entered the Sun Star.

  Then came the long journey of searching, Shen Long saw countless sun essences on the Sun Star, all wanting to be a Fire Crow, but none had consciousness, that is, they had not opened their spiritual wisdom.

  At last, on a firewood tree, Shen Long saw two silly birds. They were both three-legged crows, with golden feathers all over their bodies. If he hadn't seen them sleeping like fools, Shen Long would have thought that these two silly birds had an air of wealth and nobility about them.

  "This is the legendary fire-resistant tree - Fuso divine tree? Ah! It's really tall!" Shen Long couldn't help but admire this incredibly tall divine tree from the bottom of his heart.

  "Are these two silly birds the three-legged golden crow? Then, that clock that sleeps like it's embracing its wife is the Hundun Clock, which is also known as the Donghuang Clock in later generations?"

  Looking at the golden large clock, Shen Long was extremely surprised in his heart, controlling the Chaos Pearl to directly enter the Chaos Clock.

  Then comes the difficult process of integration...

  At the time of initial fusion, that is, when the bell rings as heard by Honghuang.

  "It's not possible to bring back the Chaos Bell yet, these two foolish birds also have good fortune, in the future they will be the Emperor of the Demon Clan, with boundless merit and virtue, the Chaos Bell still has use. However, this newly formed Chaos Treasure can still contain five hundred Great Daos."

  Shen Long was thinking silently.

  And at this time, the two silly birds who were being calculated also woke up. What changes will the early awakening of the Demon Emperor bring to Honghuang?

  。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
