Chapter 14 Five-Colored Sky-Shattering Light
At the summit of Qilin Cliff, several people gazed at Mo Yuan with burning eyes.
Heavenly merit is a panacea in the primordial world. Whether it's improving cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks, or condensing a golden wheel of merit and warding off all evil, it's an opportunity that ordinary people can hardly attain.
To offset negative karma, protect oneself, and enhance one's fortune and luck, one needs to accumulate merit through virtuous deeds.
Most importantly, if the Primordial Purple Qi is the foundation for attaining sainthood, then the Heavenly Dao Merit is the key to attaining sainthood.
With so many benefits, it is clear that the virtues and merits of Heaven are of paramount importance.
The desires of Yu Ding Zhenren, Zhao Gongming, and others were nothing more than to obtain some merit from the Heavenly Dao, so as to use it to protect themselves and improve their own fortune and luck.
"Fellow Daoists, do you know how many ways there are to obtain Heavenly Merit?"
Mo Yuan remained calm as he looked at the group and asked them a question.
Repairing the earth's veins may seem easy, but it is actually as difficult as ascending to heaven.
If he hadn't possessed the Qilin clan's heritage, been naturally close to the earth's order and the laws of Wutu, and had the assistance of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo, he wouldn't have been able to repair the earth veins of Qilin Cliff.
For Yu Ding Zhenren, Zhao Gongming, and others, the chances of gaining Heavenly Merit by repairing the earth's veins are naturally slim.
However, Mo Yuan couldn't directly refuse them, so he raised this question.
Upon hearing Mo Yuan's question, a hint of regret appeared in the eyes of the group, and they all exhaled a breath of stale air and shook their heads.
Zhao Gongming slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, we were reckless! Countless years have passed since the Western world's ley lines were detonated by the Demon Ancestor Rahu during the war between Dao and Demon, and no great being has ever attempted to repair them, or rather, they have tried but failed."
"Even the two holy uncles of the Western Sect probably haven't found the way to repair the ley lines of the Western world, yet we few are here talking about how to gain heavenly merit by repairing the ley lines. It's like an ant trying to shake a tree, utterly nonsensical."
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan was able to successfully repair the ley lines of Qilin Cliff and turn this place into a blessed land for immortals, which should be attributed to your innate heritage as a Qilin being, as well as your own comprehension and efforts..."
As he finished speaking, a hint of relief appeared on Zhao Gongming's face.
As the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect and a powerful Taiyi Golden Immortal, he did not focus on cultivating the Jie Sect's Daoist arts, but instead attempted to gain merit from the Heavenly Dao. He had truly gone astray and fallen into demonic possession.
"Senior Brother Gongming is right. Repairing the earth's veins is something that only Fellow Daoist Moyuan can do."
"As for how to acquire Heavenly Merit, I have heard my master speak of it. It consists of supplementing and perfecting the rules of Heaven and Earth, promoting the orderly development of all living beings and establishing order, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue and educating all beings, and fulfilling the key missions bestowed by Heaven in accordance with the general trend."
"Repairing the earth's veins is a way to complete and perfect the rules of heaven and earth. If you and I want to obtain the merits of the Heavenly Dao, we must find our own path, instead of blindly imitating Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan!"
The Holy Mother of Golden Light spoke earnestly, and began to explain in detail.
They came to Qilin Cliff to visit Mo Yuan and get to know this Qilin clan being who might one day become a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, not for the sake of Heavenly Dao merit.
Just now, their hearts were clouded by the dust of the Dao, and they were blinded by the merits of the Heavenly Dao.
"There are three thousand Great Laws between Heaven and Earth, and when broken down, there are also three thousand ways to obtain Heavenly Merit. Therefore, we can all follow the Heavenly Law, benefit all living beings, and seek Heavenly Merit in a way that suits us."
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan possesses extraordinary talent and far-sighted vision. With just one sentence, you have enlightened us, truly making this humble Daoist ashamed!"
With a smile on his face, Master Yu Ding spoke to Mo Yuan.
At the same time, a deep light shone in his eyes as he glanced at Zhao Gongming, the Golden Light Saintess, and the others without leaving a trace.
After Mo Yuan repaired the earth veins of Qilin Cliff and obtained the merits of the Heavenly Dao, he became a highly sought-after figure among the disciples of the three religions, and many people wanted to seek opportunities through him.
Now that several people, including Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, and Du'e Zhenren, a disciple of the Ren Sect, have encountered setbacks, it is likely that the disciples of the other three sects will not act rashly in the future and disturb Mo Yuan's cultivation.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, the news of your repair of the Qilin Cliff's earth veins and the acquisition of Heavenly Dao merit will likely reach the ears of the Western Sect sooner or later. If they come to Qilin Cliff to make things difficult for you, just take out the Enlightenment Futon, and they will naturally understand."
"You have now achieved proficiency in array formations, but you still need to calmly comprehend the ways of weapon crafting and alchemy. We, your fellow disciples from the Chan Sect, are waiting for you to thoroughly understand the alchemy scriptures and refine some immortal pills for us to enjoy!"
Huanglong Zhenren, though seemingly rough, was actually quite perceptive. He saw through Yuding Zhenren's thoughts, so he gave Mo Yuan some advice while simultaneously trying to build a closer relationship with him through jokes.
Soon, the atmosphere became harmonious again, and everyone toasted each other, discussing matters and having a great time.
Zhao Gongming, the Golden Light Holy Mother, and the True Man of Du'e sensed that something was amiss, but they didn't take it to heart. Instead, they talked to Mo Yuan without reservation, and their friendship deepened.
Time passes, and circumstances change.
This debate lasted for a century, during which Mo Yuan absorbed the insights of the group regarding the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, internalizing them and forging his own path.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, we shall take our leave for now!"
"By the time we meet again, I hope you will have overcome your heavenly tribulation and achieved the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. At that time, you should also be able to refine the Three-Turn Golden Elixir, helping to share the burden with me!"
Master Du'e stroked his beard and said with a kind expression.
Mo Yuan has an extraordinary background and boundless talent. He also has unique insights into following the natural order and the general trend. He is sure to have a bright future.
The idea of helping him share the burden was just a joke on his part.
Of course, if Mo Yuan could achieve some success in alchemy, it would be a good thing for the three religions.
"Thank you for your kind words, Fellow Daoist Du'e. I will diligently cultivate day and night and live up to the sage's high expectations! I also hope that our friendship today will become a gentle breeze on the cloud-sea peak in the future, where we can jointly comprehend the mysteries and wash away our worldly dust."
"The road ahead is long, but I am not alone!"
Mo Yuan bowed solemnly and spoke in a firm and resounding voice.
Being alone makes one vulnerable to calamity, and a single tree cannot withstand the wind.
If one wants to achieve something in the Three Realms of the Primordial World, one needs to cultivate good relationships and accumulate connections and resources. Disciples of the Three Religions are undoubtedly the easiest connections for him to build.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, we shall take our leave now."
Zhao Gongming and the others said in unison.
Having stayed at Qilin Cliff for nearly a century, it was time for them to leave.
Mo Yuan did not try to stop them, but personally escorted them out of the Qilin Cliff territory. Then, with a slight thought, he appeared at the summit of Yaoguang Peak.
Looking at the Five Elements Pool before him, Mo Yuan murmured to himself, "The Earthly Dao Ancestral Qi Scripture can draw upon the essence of Earth and the primordial Qi to temper the body, allowing the bloodline to return to its ancestral origin and achieve a Dao body that is impervious to all laws."
"I am a pure-blooded variant of the Qilin clan. My bloodline is inherently pure and ancient, with a purity level second only to the Five Elements Qilin and the Ancestor. Therefore, there is no need to expend energy to improve my bloodline for the time being."
"Therefore, I can use the Five Elements Pool to temper my five internal organs, and then use the essence of the Earth element in the Nine-Bend Earth Spirit River to temper my flesh, bones and muscles, so that my body will become much stronger."
With clear thinking and a firm grasp of the situation, one can achieve one's goals.
Mo Yuan appeared directly in the center of the Five Elements Pool, where there was a five-colored jade platform, the place where the Five Elements spiritual liquid and fragments of the Five Elements Laws gathered.
Mo Yuan lay on the five-colored jade platform. Without the slightest hesitation, he activated the Earth Dao Ancestral Qi Scripture, drawing the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid into his body to temper his five internal organs.
Previously, the tea made with Five Elements Spiritual Liquid to cleanse the heart and purify the Golden Thunder Bamboo did not cause any discomfort. However, directly using Five Elements Spiritual Liquid to temper the five internal organs is a different story.
In an instant, Mo Yuan felt as if his meridians and skin were about to be torn apart.
The fragments of the Five Elements Laws carried primal energy, seemingly intent on annihilating him.
The fragments of gold unleashed a violent power, piercing his lungs as if by thousands of divine needles, and each breath was subjected to endless grinding and compression.
The wood, water, and fire element fragments all inflicted severe torment on him simultaneously. Only the earth element fragment resonated with his essence, gradually nurturing the Kun Yuan power that could bear and transform all things, making his spleen increasingly powerful.
Using his divine sense to examine his internal organs, Mo Yuan discovered that they were radiating a faint golden light, several times stronger than before, and still growing stronger.
Furthermore, he realized that the fragments of the Five Elements Laws had not all disappeared, but rather some of them had merged with his five internal organs, releasing an ancient and profound Daoist aura.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level was too low, and he had not yet reached the point of comprehending the laws. Otherwise, these ancient and simple Daoist charms would surely have allowed him to find some methods to understand the mysteries of the Five Elements Laws.
"By the way, why don't I rely on the fragments of the Five Elements Laws to comprehend the divine power of the Five-Colored Sky-Shattering Light?"
A flash of inspiration struck Mo Yuan, and he immediately gave it a try.
The Earthly Ancestral Qi Scripture records many of the Qilin Clan's supernatural abilities, such as Qilin Sky-Treading Strike, Five-Colored Sky-Crushing Light, and Auspicious Beast Evil-Slaying Roar. With his current cultivation level, he can only unleash Qilin Sky-Treading Strike.
The Five-Colored Sky-Shattering Light requires fusing the Five-Colored Clouds Phenomenon inherent to the Qilin Clan into their bloodline. In reality, however, these Five-Colored Clouds Phenomena are manifestations of the Five Elements Laws.
Normally, only those who have reached the Golden Immortal realm can refine this phenomenon, but Mo Yuan possesses the Five Elements Pool, so he doesn't need to melt the five-colored mist; he only needs to refine the fragments of the Five Elements Laws.
Although the Five-Colored Sky-Shattering Light he unleashed was of limited power, it was still enough for him to stand out among all others in the True Immortal realm.
Mo Yuan accelerated the circulation of the Earth Dao Ancestral Qi Scripture, not only drawing upon the fragments of the Five Elements Laws to temper his five internal organs, but also fusing them into his bloodline. Soon, five-colored radiance condensed in front of his chest.
The five-colored divine light spun, collided, and destroyed, eventually merging into a hazy, mysterious beam of light. The surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth turned into nothingness, and even space itself was distorted.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Five-Colored Sky-Shattering Light.
When unleashed, it can turn mountains into dust, evaporate rivers, lakes and seas instantly, and even reset the earth, fire, wind and water, stirring up chaotic turbulent currents.
With Mo Yuan's current cultivation level, he naturally cannot do the latter two.
However, it was enough for him to use it as a trump card, providing an extra layer of protection when traversing the vast wilderness.
"Tempering my internal organs, flesh and bones, and comprehending the Five-Colored Sky-Shattering Light Divine Power will all enhance my confidence in traveling through the prehistoric world and going to Buzhou Mountain to retrieve the Qilin Seal."
"Keep up the good work, and don't slack off!"
Mo Yuan thought to himself, feeling that the future was bright.
His speed in absorbing the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid and refining the fragments of the Five Elements Laws increased once again. Even though he was suffering great pain, he still endured it without making a sound.
It's a bittersweet experience, it's that simple!
