Chapter 30 Heavenly Blessings Descend, the Dao Heart Steadfast!
Over these three thousand years, Chu Yuan had practically turned the entire Fierce Beast Battlefield upside down. He slaughtered millions of fierce beasts!
The lowest level among them was at the Celestial Immortal tier. Excluding those used to forge the Mysterious Yin Evil Qi Banners, just the fierce beast corpses accumulated in his hands—There were as many as three hundred and sixty-five Fierce Beasts at the Golden Immortal level!
There were seventy-two Fierce Beasts at the Supreme Golden Immortal level. As for the most powerful Da Luo Golden Immortal level beasts, aside from the very first one he encountered—Chu Yuan met two more deep within the Fiendish Land, both early-stage Da Luo Golden Immortals, and he slew them one by one!
Without exception, the corpses of these fierce beasts all became Chu Yuan’s top-tier reserve materials for forging zombie corpses!
It was foreseeable that once he had time to refine all these materials, the strength of his zombie army would undergo another terrifying leap!
Meanwhile, as Chu Yuan continued his hunt and the Mysterious Yin Evil Qi Banners kept operating, the entire Fierce Beast Battlefield underwent earth-shaking changes.
The black-red evil qi clouds that originally shrouded the sky and earth grew significantly thinner. The dark red bloodstains on the ground gradually faded, revealing the land’s original colors.
The ice-cold, bone-chilling resentment lingering in the air almost completely dissipated. Though still desolate, it no longer felt like the hopeless deathly silence and rage it once was. Three hundred and sixty-five Mysterious Yin Evil Qi Banners stood firmly scattered throughout the Fiendish Land.
After absorbing a massive amount of evil qi and resentment, they finally completed their final transformation!
“Buzz buzz buzz—!”
All three hundred and sixty-five banners trembled simultaneously. The black clouds on their surfaces churned, the contained evil qi intensified, and the aura they emitted was more than ten times stronger than before!
All had ascended to become Superior Post-Natal Spiritual Treasures!
Composed of 365 pieces of superior post-heaven spiritual treasures forming the Nine-Nine Mysterious Yin Great Formation, assisted by gu corpses, its terrifying power was enough to become another trump card in Chu Yuan’s hands!
Just as Chu Yuan gathered all the deadly energy flags and felt this ferocious land finally return to clarity…
“Rumble rumble!”
From the nine heavens above, sudden bursts of thunder roared. But it was not calamity thunder; instead, it was celestial music filled with auspiciousness and solemnity!
Immediately, boundless golden clouds gathered, dyeing the entire sky above the fierce beast battlefield in golden hues!
Within the auspicious clouds, heavenly flowers fell like rain, and golden lotuses surged from the earth—a vast, compassionate, impartial heavenly Dao will descend!
In the next moment, a thick, almost solid beam of golden light—Like the Milky Way pouring down from the nine heavens—Descended from the sky, directly targeting Chu Yuan below, who had purified the entire ferocious land!
This was because this ferocious land had once been one of the battlegrounds of the great calamity caused by the vicious killers of the past, where countless fierce beasts were buried.
Within it, killing intent and resentful energy intertwined, lingering without dispersing, always embodying the fierce beasts’ will to destroy heaven and earth.
If left unchecked and allowed to develop freely, the ferocious beasts that multiply will become more and more numerous and stronger. Sooner or later, they will become a great calamity.
Therefore, in response to Chu Yuan’s virtuous deed, the Heavenly Dao bestowed merit. This is a reward for Chu Yuan’s purification of the ferocious land, elimination of grudges, and restoration of clarity to heaven and earth!
A vast amount of golden merit light descended from the nine heavens, like a golden waterfall, completely enveloping and submerging Chu Yuan.
Bathed in the rich golden merit light, Chu Yuan felt a warm, peaceful, and vast power wrapping his primordial spirit and body, as if soaking in the cradle of the origin of heaven and earth, extremely comfortable and pleasant.
His primordial spirit became clear, thoughts unblocked, and the fatigue caused by previous battles and refining vanished instantly. A profound realization arose from his heart — as long as he wished, he could fully utilize this immense merit to forcibly push his cultivation to the peak of the Great Dao Golden Immortal stage, or even to the late Quasi-Saint level!
Such temptation is hard for any cultivator to resist. However, coming from a future era, Chu Yuan was extremely clear. Though merit is good, it is a double-edged sword.
If one uses merit to boost cultivation, one will inevitably be restrained by the Heavenly Dao.
So he forcibly suppressed this impulse.
“Merit is good, but it is not obtained through one’s own hard cultivation; it is ultimately an external force.”
“Using it to raise one’s realm can lead to rapid progress temporarily, but it may cause unstable foundations, dependence on others, and ultimately be detrimental in the long run,” Chu Yuan’s mind was like a clear mirror.
In later eras, the Three Pure Ones originally transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, also carried the merit of creation!
The depth of the foundation is top-tier in the primordial era!
If one secluded oneself to cultivate with focus, attaining the Dao of the Mixed Yuan would be just a matter of time!
However, within the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun schemed against them—first severing the two corpses, and in the end, even the Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortal didn’t count. They could only achieve sainthood through merit, with strength undoubtedly the lowest among peers.
One must understand that even though they share the Mixed Yuan Dao fruit. Saints are Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortals, but Mixed Yuan Great Luo Golden Immortals are not necessarily Saints!
The former, although their Heavenly Dao is undying and Saints cannot die, can only manifest Mixed Yuan power under the Heavenly Dao, being restricted by the Heavenly Dao—essentially subordinate under the Heavenly Dao, like hired workers.
The latter, while not immortal or undying, can enjoy carefree freedom, unrestrained by others. If one day the Heavenly Dao breaks and the world is destroyed, they would not be affected in the slightest.
What Chu Yuan wants to pursue is to rely on his own strength, step by step, to attain the path of Mixed Yuan. Perhaps even surpassing Mixed Yuan in the future!
