"Hehe, Daoist friend truly has an eye for treasure!"

"One glance and you picked the most valuable Daoist collection," Star Venerable complimented Fu Xi for his discerning eye.

Why do you think he calmly reveals his romantic history?

Star Venerable stated: This "Secrets I Must Share With Three Thousand Female Cultivators" is actually a love history written by a minor cultivator named "Ao Cang"!

What does Ao Cang's experience have to do with Ancestor Dragon?

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Ao Cang has a little connection with Ancestor Dragon.

What does it have to do with him, Star Venerable?

"Star Daoist friend, we are also quite interested in this last volume of Daoist Collection."

All gods expressed their eagerness to become the first loyal readers of the minor cultivator "Ao Cang".

For the mirthful gods of Taiwei Constellation, whether it's Daoist collection or not is secondary, they mainly want to enjoy the gossip.

"Alright, alright, alright, everyone will have a copy!" Star Venerable laughed uncontrollably.

He was about to name a price, then as if remembering something, he turned to Xuanqing: "Jidu Daoist friend, what's the settlement used in Heavenly Market?"

In Dragon Clan Main Temple, to unify the settlement method, the concept of "Merit Points" was introduced.

To be precise, this concept originated from Taiwei Constellation.

Actually, it came from the efforts of [Golden Bright Taibai Venerable] Zhun Ti and [Dark Star Jidu Venerable] Xuanqing.

Zhun Ti holds the Innate Merit Golden Lotus in his hands, and Xuanqing has a broader vision, and together they created this concept.

As for Heavenly Dao Merit and such.

Primordial True Realm itself has no "Heavenly Dao," thus there are no Heavenly Dao Merit.

Even when Pangu created the world, there was no distribution of Heaven Creation Merit.

Initially, Xuanqing even calculated the so-called "First defensive treasure formed by the condensation of Heaven Creation Merit"—Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Tower.

The result was "no such treasure found."

Such thing doesn't exist at all.

Later, Xuanqing also witnessed the scene of Heaven Creation, confirmed there was no Xuanhuang Tower, nor any other Merit Sacred Artifact.

However, Xuanqing, to satisfy his own collecting hobby, casually refined a Linglong Tower.

And because this was a Spiritual Treasure forged in his earlier years, too formal for him, now Xuanqing is embarrassed to use it.

Thus, the Linglong Tower is still gathering dust in Wu City Heavenly Palace.

"Ah, good question, Daoist friend."

Xuanqing looked at all gods with a beaming smile: "With new features going live, of course, there has to be something new!"

"So for the Heavenly Market settlement system, we'll use Merit, the real Xuanhuang Merit!"

"Xuanhuang Merit?" All gods were intrigued.

[Golden Bright Taibai Venerable] Zhun Ti was even more astounded: "You really managed to create such a thing?"

Going back eleven generations, which was the previous time Xuanqing managed Taiwei Constellation, they collaborated on many unusual creations and proposed some very unique concepts.

"Merit Points" was one of them, but proposing this concept doesn't mean "Merit" could be just created.

Zhun Ti went back to research, and ended up creating the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

And the Merit Pond Water indeed benefits its users by "purifying oneself," "enhancing Qi fortune," "avoiding disaster," and "increasing cultivation" among other effects.

However, this case is not representative or universal, as fundamentally, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool is a by-product created by Zhun Ti using the Innate Merit Golden Lotus.

Without Innate Merit Golden Lotus, you might as well call it a pot of Eight Treasures Soup.

And for the Dragon Clan, the emphasis in "Merit Points" is on "Points," not on "Merit."

Ancestor Dragon chose this term simply because it sounded good.

"That's for sure."

Xuanqing tapped the pitch-black long table, and the clouds tumultuously billowed.

"Next, allow me to solemnly introduce, since the establishment of Plan Jia Zi Jiu from the Taiwei Constellation, after a lapse of thirty-three Yuan meetings, after picking up two Heavenly Daos and failing for the fourteen thousand five hundred and eighteenth time, the research results—Merit Heavenly Dao!"

Whoosh~~

The clouds unfurled like a scroll.

In a trance, all gods heard the ringing of profound Daoist sounds, deafening and enlightening.

"At the beginning of origins, as Tai Shi emerges, the clear and murky flow together, Xuanhuang missteps are intertwined." (Zhì)

But in the painting, a boundless world where Yin and Yang were undivided, where clear and murky were yet distinct, where Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi intertwined like the origin point of the Great Dao, like the mysteries of all beings prior to their formation.

Xuanqing extended two fingers, mimicking the motion of the Heaven Creation Sword, making a sweep through the air.

In an instant, light burst forth, brilliance illuminating the world, shattering all Chaos.

The world in the painting began to evolve, separating Yin from Yang, heaven clear and earth murky.

Suddenly, Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi churned, boundless Xuanhuang light descended from the vast space, magnificent and endless, thoroughly pervading heaven and earth.

Xuanqing then continued his work, the origin Qi of the Great Dao twining around his palm, the brilliance of Laws bursting forth in his hand, infusing endless rules and orders into the painting.

After a moment, Xuanqing reached into the painting and scooped out a light sphere condensed from Xuanhuang Ancestor Qi.

"Done!"

Holding the Merit Heavenly Dao, Xuanqing smiled, "It's been a long time since I've worked on something so serious, and to succeed on the first try, not bad!"

The Origin is also the Beginning.

Peerless and supreme, alone capable of being the beginning of all things, thus named Yuanshi!

Xuanqing had many ideas that had to be shelved in past.

But ever since he condensed the influential position of Fuli Primordial Heavenly Venerate, his capability to cause events significantly increased.

However, when his words reached the gods' ears, they felt differently.

"So, this was your fourteenth thousand five hundred and nineteenth trial! I thought you were confident in having achieved results already," Sun Sun Venerable Taiyi commented mercilessly from the first seat on the right.

"Don't worry about how many trials, just tell me if it was successful or not!"

Xuanqing said, "Success on the first attempt, because I never undertake unsure tasks!"

"Yes, yes, the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor counts without omission, master of all things and consequences; how would we dare intervene," Wood Star Venerable Fu Xi sarcastically added from the side.

"We congratulate the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor on achieving success after fourteen thousand five hundred and eighteen failures."

The gods cooperated in clapping, even deliberately emphasizing Xuanqing's failures.

Seeing the practiced manner of the Taixu Gods, it clearly wasn't their first performance.

Xuanqing sat joyfully in the lead, grasping the Merit Heavenly Dao, and fittingly declared, "All my beloved subjects have this intention, they truly deserve a reward!"

"Wood Star Venerable!"

"I am here!" Fu Xi responded cheerily.

"You, upheld by the ancestor Qi of wood, acting benevolently, managing the virtuous… your praise holds merit, my heart is comforted."

"Today, I bestow upon you the nine facets of Xuanhuang Merit, as a token of appreciation. May you not forget your initial purpose, continue to strive forward, and praise more… Be esteemed."

Xuanqing raised his hand, and Xuanhuang light cascaded down.

Fu Xi gladly accepted the nine facets of Xuanhuang Merit awarded by Xuanqing, not forgetting to express his gratitude.

"This subject thanks the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor!"
