The First Tenfold Billions of Acts of Merit Reach the Yellow Emperor and Establish the Teachings

  Huang Shiren, this scoundrel, took Nezha to the Golden Turtle Island and swept away a piece of land. The Tianxian Sect Master asked about past events, and naturally couldn't help but show off in front of him, mentioning that he had swept away the Hetu Luoshu from the Western Duke Ji Chang. Unexpectedly, before he could even finish speaking, he was caught by the Tianxian Sect Master.

  "Master, what's going on? Are you trying to be rude?" Huang Shiren's eyes widened.

  Isn't the Tian Tian Jiao master a bit wrong? Although he said that the Hetu Luoshu he robbed was a pre-heavenly spiritual treasure, it's a treasure for ordinary little monsters and cultivators, but for the Tian Tian Jiao master, it's just a small dish. The pre-heavenly spiritual treasure is naturally not in the eyes of the Tian Tian Jiao master, a saint, so why did he look so surprised when he heard that he got the Hetu Luoshu?

  There's something fishy going on here, Old Huang thought to himself.

  "Bastard! Hurry up and tell me, what did you swindle from Ji Chang?" The Tongtian Sect Master seemed to not quite believe the words he had just heard from Huang Shiren.

  "He's talking about the 'River Chart' and the 'Luo Book'." Huang Shiran laughed.

  "What's this 'River Chart' and 'Luo Book'?! The Heavenly Master's face tensed up, hastily saying: "Bring it out for me to see!"

  "What's the big idea?!" Huang Shiren took one look at Tongtian Sect Master's anxious appearance, thinking that he was going to snatch his treasure. He covered it with both hands and said: "Sect Master, this treasure is something I've worked hard to get, if you take it away from me, I'll fight you to the death! Honestly, as a saint, even an ordinary vase in your hand becomes a priceless artifact, why do you need to snatch mine?!"

  "You wretched woman! I'll snatch your treasure away! Hand it over at once!" The Tianyun Sect Master was getting anxious.

  Huang Shiren saw Tongtian Jiao's serious expression and had no choice but to take out the Hetu Luoshu.

  The Master of Tongtian took the past, put it in his hand, looked at it carefully, nodded and shook his head, sighed and sniffed his nose, and from time to time looked at Huang Shiren, his eyes sometimes burning with heat and sometimes revealing boundless worry.

  "Master, what's going on?" Huang Shiren saw that Tongtian Master was like this, and knew that the Hetu Luoshu might not be so simple.

  The Hetu and Luoshu are good things, Huang Shiren naturally knows the functions of these two things. Huang Shiren thought he was clear about them, but judging from Tongtian Jiao's expression, there might be more secrets here.

  The master of Tongtian looked at it for a moment, handed the Hetu Luoshu to Huang Shiren, and smiled: "That Marquis Xi Bo Ji Chang is indeed a clever guy, he actually got the Hetu Luoshu complete, haha, interesting, many years have passed, these two things have been searched by scholars all over the world, it's really heavenly, but unexpectedly they fell into the hands of an ordinary person."

  Huang Shiren was stunned by Tong Tian's words and asked, "Master, you mean all the cultivators in the world are searching for this thing?"

  "Naturally. Not to mention the scattered immortals and demons, even the Western Kunlun and my own sect are all searching for it. It's really heaven playing tricks on people, and yet it's actually here with Ji Chang."

  This sounds a bit off. The Heaven Spirit Treasure is indeed good, but it shouldn't be to the point where all cultivators under the heavens go searching for it.

  "Master Tongtian, this thing has such great charm?" Huang Shiren began to drum up a plan, thinking of ways to get the secret out of Master Tongtian's mouth.

  "Rubbish head, do you know the benefits of this River Chart and Luo Book?" Tianxian Sect Master laughed.

  "Of course I know!" Huang Shiren thought to himself, "Does he think I'm a fool?"

  "This River Chart was obtained by Fu Xi, who used it to educate humanity. The Luo Book was obtained by Da Yu, who used it to control the world's flood and bring prosperity to all living things. It is said that inside this book lies the secrets of the Heavenly Way, which can be used to inquire about the Heavenly Way. Naturally, it is a superior thing. With this treasure, one's cultivation speed will absolutely soar." Huang Shiren laughed.

  The Tongtian Sect Master nodded and said, "You this sloppy head actually knows quite a bit."

  "Must be! Do you think I'm a fool?" Huang Shiran glared at him.

  Tongtian Sect Master looked at Huang Shiren with disdain and said, "However, if you use this thing to cultivate, it would be a waste of heaven's gift."

  "Wasting heaven's resources? Is this thing's greatest use not for this?"

  "Of course not."

  Huang Shiren was delighted. The leader of the Tongtian Sect meant that the emotional River Map Luo Book had even greater benefits, hehe, old Huang got rich.

  "Master, stop being ambiguous and unclear. Hurry up and give me a straight answer, it's driving me crazy!"

  Tongtian Jiaozhu chuckled and said: "Baldy, have you ever heard of the concept of 'merit'?"

  "Really heard it!" Huang Shiren's heart skipped a beat.

  All cultivators have heavenly tribulations, and the more karma they accumulate, the greater their heavenly tribulation will be. If one does not attain the cultivation of a saint, even a Mahayana True Immortal may accumulate karma and perish. This merit is the most precious thing for cultivators. Whenever one does something that is recognized by the Heavenly Way, merit will descend upon them. With this merit, they can resolve their own karmic obstacles, eliminate their own tribulations, and if the merit is great enough, it's simply awesome.

  For example, Nuwa, in terms of ability and understanding the Tao, is far inferior to the other five saints. The reason she became a saint is largely because Nuwa created humans and mended the sky, creating countless merits. It was this great merit that ultimately allowed Nuwa to slay the three corpses and become a saint.

  The benefits of good deeds can be seen as being very cool.

  The reason why the two religions have such a big conflict, apart from other reasons, is that they also have a great relationship in competing for believers and accumulating merits. There are only so many people, and merits are fixed, so competing for believers and incense naturally leads to conflicts.

  "Master, could it be that the River Chart and Luo Book are related to merits and virtues?" Huang Shiren's heart was stirred.

  The Tongtian Jiaozhu sneered: "You're usually so clever, but why are you so muddled about this matter? The Hetu is a treasure that Fu Xi received from the heavens, and it's used to bring blessings to humanity. If we didn't have the Hetu or Fu Xi, humanity would have perished long ago. And what about the Luoshu? Da Yu obtained it and was able to control the great flood, bringing peace to the world. Without it, the world would be a vast ocean, and humanity wouldn't be as prosperous as it is today. Think about it, how great is the merit of these things?"

  "My goodness!" Huang Shiran almost fainted!

  That is to say, the merits and virtues contained in the Hetu Luoshu are absolutely astronomical figures!

  "Master, how can we check his merits?" Huang Shiren hastily asked.

  "Just look at it with your yuan Shen, one merit is a light spot, take a look yourself." Tian Xian Jiao Zhu said with a smile.

  Huang Shiren couldn't care about much else and hastily separated his primordial spirit to enter the River Chart and Luo Book.

  Yuanshen entered and saw that it was a vast and boundless universe, the scene in front of him made Lao Huang so happy that he almost fainted.

  At a glance, countless light spots crowded together, just like countless fireflies dancing in the air, just like the stars in the sky, the vast Milky Way!

  "Woohoo! Master, I've struck it rich! There's at least 10 billion merits in here! Haha!" Huang Shiren was overjoyed.

  "What about the merits of a billion?" The Master chuckled and said, "I'll tell you that the original merits of the Hetu Luoshu added together are at least in the trillions!"

  "Trillion!" The number made Huang Shiran's mind go blank!

  Trillions of merits, what a concept!？

  If I have so many merits, I'd say that old Huang can become a saint in just over a thousand years!

  "Master, how come there's so little left of the River Map and Luo Book now?!" Huang Shiren said.

  The Tongtian Jiaozhu sighed: "In the previous great calamity, Emperor Jun, Taiyi and the twelve ancestral witches fought fiercely, triggering countless great calamities. The Hetu Luoshu was exhausted from protecting humanity, and its merits were almost depleted. Later, Fuxi, Yan Di, Xuan Yuan, and Da Yu successively squandered too much merit for personal gain. It's already quite remarkable that 1 billion merits are left."

  "What the...! How can these birdmen ruin my stuff like this?!" Huang Shiren exclaimed in anger.

  These two goods are really too cheap! The thing originally belonged to someone else's house, and a thief actually still has a just cause. The leader of the Tongtian Sect is speechless.

  Huang Shiren hugged the Hetu Luoshu, feeling delighted in his heart. Unexpectedly, he had actually obtained 10 billion merits! This was something far more precious than any Golden Elixir, and he wondered how to use these merits.

  Huang Shiren was like a poor man who had rushed into a mountain of gold, indulging in fantasies here.

  "Master, you said that with these 10 billion merits I can behead the three corpses and become a saint?" Huang Shiren's words made Dabao almost faint.

  Killing three corpses to become a saint, how can this sentence be as simple as eating in Huang Shiren's mouth!

  Damn it! A saint who can create heaven and earth is so easily done?! Son of a bitch.

  "It's difficult." Tongtian Sect Master smiled and said, "To become a saint, one must not only rely on solid cultivation, but also be favored by the heavens. However, if you use these 10 billion merits, becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal is no problem, and who knows, maybe you can even cut off a corpse and become an quasi-saint. Of course, this requires a long period of time."

  "Great! The accurate saint is also good!" Huang Shiren laughed loudly and hugged the River Chart and Luo Book, kissing them repeatedly.

  I said why are people all over the world looking for this thing, it turns out there's such a secret!

  Time doesn't scare me, I have a chaotic space, one day inside is one year outside, what ghost am I afraid of!

  Almost a saint! Almost a saint! Awesome! If I were to become an almost-saint, those Cloud Middle Son, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and the like would all be looked down upon, one by one grabbed over to wash my feet, massage my back, and roll in bed with me! Hehe, great! Great!

  "Master, how can we use this merit?" Huang Shiren was about to take action!

  " Baldy, are you really going to use this merit for cultivation?" Tianyun Sect Master laughed.

  "That's natural! Master, you're a saint and don't know the taste of being bullied. I'm a Taiyi Golden Immortal, always getting beaten up by people, and even slapped in the face. It's really unbearable. Now that I've become an quasi-saint, I won't let anyone off!"

  Tongtian Jiaozhu sighed and said, "Lai Tou, it's not wrong to rely on your natural talent, but with your intelligence, even if you pretend for a while, it won't be difficult. However, these 10 billion merits are the accumulation of countless years, once used, they will be gone. They should be used for more meaningful things."

  "Something more meaningful, for instance?" Huang Shiran didn't understand.

  Is there anything more meaningful than improving one's own abilities and being awesome? I don't think so.

  The Tongtian Sect Master lowered his voice and said, "Have you heard of Lijiao?"

  "What's going on?!" Huang Shiren was stunned.

  This is the origin of the four teachings. On this day, Taishang Laojun became a saint and established the human teaching, Yuanshi Tianzun became a saint and established the expanded teaching, Tongtian Jiaozhu became a saint and established the intercepting teaching, Jiying and Zhunti two Taoist saints became saints and established the Western teaching. The four teachings of the world have existed for countless years, apart from these, there are no other teachings.

  In terms of strength, Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu and the two Taoist priests, Jiying and Zhunti, are indeed powerful. However, during that great calamity many years ago, there were many people whose strength was equivalent to or even far surpassed theirs, such as Kunpeng, Luohou, and Minghe Laozu. These powerful individuals were absolutely not inferior to these sacred beings in terms of strength. So why did they show extreme reverence for these sacred beings? And why were only a few sacred beings able to survive the great calamity?

  The fundamental reason is that these few saints obtained the permission of Heaven's Way and established their teachings!

  Establishing the teachings means that there is a legacy, a foundation. As long as heaven's way does not permit it, no one can destroy the foundation. The teachings will not be destroyed, and naturally, the few saints who are the masters of the teachings will not die out!

  The more people in a school, the greater its influence and the more awesome it is!

  The benefits of this are too numerous to be explained in one sentence.

  Huang Shiren was a clever man, and when he heard what Tongtian Jiao said, his heart was truly turbulent.

  "Master, are you saying that the 100 million merits in the River Chart and Luo Book can be used to establish a teaching?!"

  "It is indeed." Tianxian Sect Master smiled and said.

  Haha haha haha! Huang Shiren laughed wildly and uncontrollably until he was laughing like a madman!

  "Master, can I understand it this way? These 10 billion merits are allowed by the Heavenly Way. If I establish a sect, the Heavenly Way won't have anything to say about it. As long as I establish a sect, even if there's no permission from the Heavenly Way, my sect won't be destroyed. The sect won't be destroyed, and Old Huang won't die either. Is that the logic?"

  "It can be said that establishing a religion has many benefits, and establishing one is almost like creating a world. When a religion is established, the heavens will naturally bestow a large amount of merit, and you can widely gather disciples. With many disciples, the merits they earn can also be credited to you."

  "Whoa! Master, you're too mischievous! Why didn't you say so earlier? I almost used my good deeds to verify the scriptures! What a waste!" Huang Shiren was thrilled upon hearing all these benefits and couldn't wait to use his merits to establish a sect.

  "Grandma's, I've established a sect, and I'm the sect leader too! Moreover, I'm an orthodox sect leader with the permission of Heaven! Alas, how many sect leaders are there in this world?!"

  I'm Old Huang, I'm going to be mighty! I'm Old Huang, I'm going to be awesome! I'm Old Huang, my Golden Gun will never fall!

  "Baldy, don't be too happy too early. These 10 billion merits are indeed good things, but do you have the life to enjoy them, or even to establish a teaching? That's another story altogether."

  Tongtian Jiaozhu looked at Huang Shiren and smiled coldly again.

  These words made Huang Shiren come to his senses. The excitement and agitation he had just felt were suddenly doused by a bucket of cold water, leaving no trace.

  What does this mean?!

  With a billion merits, one can establish a teaching, and having established a teaching, that is the master of the teaching. The heavenly way permits the master of the teaching to be indestructible, and the master will not die. In other words, it's like getting an iron certificate for immortality! Moreover, the more disciples under one's gate, the greater one's merits will be. Merits beget merits, and they are endless. What a wonderful thing!

  No wonder these saints are so awesome, it turns out there are such benefits!

  Huang Shiren wants to establish a sect! And considering his own situation of being in danger every moment, having provoked countless enemies by summoning demons everywhere, doesn't he have no reason not to establish a sect?

  Why would Tongtian Jiao's master say such disheartening words! I founded the sect, I'm doing well, and you're doing well too by following me, aren't you?!

  "Master, what do you mean by this? I don't understand!" Huang Shiren's face was solemn and he stared at the master, waiting for him to explain. ###First update is online
