Deng Chanyu took away eighty percent of the virtue on her own. So much virtue, exceeding the total of all virtues she had obtained in the past, a wheel of virtue appeared at the back of her head, absorbing this vast amount of virtue. The wheel became more and more holy and pure.
That opening-of-the-sky virtue was also contained within her yuan spirit, merely through containment, her yuan spirit turned golden, and the speed of absorbing the celestial and earthly qi increased by fivefold. Many great truths previously learned in a haphazard manner from the world of Tao's foundation now had a whole new understanding. If comparing the Primordial World to a living being, at this very moment, that being was cheering for her because she was also one of the owners of this world.
It may have been boastful to say that she was the successor of the Primordial World before, but now she is unable to compare to the six sages. However, compared to other powerful beings, she already leads in terms of status.
Deng Chanyu took the lion's share, and the remaining virtues flew in all directions.
The Multiverse Immortal from the Eastern Sea and Yun Xiao each took away one and a half percent of the virtue.
Dou Bao has contributed to the blockade of the sea eye, which is worth praising fairly. No one ordered him to come, yet he did. While bearing the attack from those dragon spirits in the sea eye, he sealed it, preventing the further collapse of the situation in the Eastern Sea and giving time for various forces including Wu Gong Palace. Taking some virtues is something that no one can say anything about.
Yun Xiao was attacking the Gate of Destiny three times in a row, which is merit by itself even if there is no actual achievement.
The remaining half of the achievement was divided very unevenly.
Golden Lingshi, Wudangenshi, Zhao Gongming, Qiong Xiao, Jiang Zitiaotie, and Yuan Feng were all within this range.
That's right, Yuan Feng's interference with the Ancestor Dragon also merits some virtue, though not much. Even though a life sentence won't be reduced to a prison term, there is still a reward. If there are any future meritorious acts, perhaps we can negotiate.
Thunder God and the serpent also followed to the Yin-Yang World, but they did not obtain any virtue. They knew in their hearts that Hongjun only did not want to waste time with them, he was not an idiot. While they were causing trouble, you were cleaning up the aftermath, while I was reducing the dragon's fortune and rewarding you with virtue, to achieve a balance? Dream on!
The dragon race's fortune plummeted sharply. Thunder God spat out a mouthful of blood, shimmering with dazzling lightning, his body trembling violently. All the wounds he sustained from battling Kong Xuan in Chaos were reopened. The five-elemental divine light that had been suppressed for a long time burst forth from inside to outside. At a distance, it looked like a multicolored light sphere.
This punishment is not severe at all, mainly because of his status as a Buddhist, which was a lighter sentence.
In the center of the main hall of the ancestral dragon hall, an ornamental pearl was enshrined - the Dragon Pearl. Inside it contained the essence of the ancestral dragon at its strongest, which was a precious treasure among the dragon race. The one who possessed it could command all dragons in the Primordial World.
When the tri-racial war ended and it was decided to seal the sea eye, the Ancestor Dragon left the Dragon Pearl with the dragon race. Not only did it rank as a top-grade primordial spirit treasure alongside the Fenghuang Staff and Qilin Seal, but it was also a symbol of the dragon race. With the dramatic decline in its fortune at this moment, as a symbol of the race, the Dragon Pearl shattered completely.
All dragons heard a crisp "Click" sound. Some were bewildered, some were terrified, and some were elated. No matter whether they admitted it or not, the Dragon Pearl had shattered. The pyramid rule starting from the Ancestor Dragon, through dragon elders, divine dragons, true dragons, four seas' dragon kings and all water creatures at the bottom level had collapsed completely. The Ancestor Dragon Hall no longer had paternal authority over the four seas' dragon kings and there was no longer any bloodline jurisdiction over them. They were free, just like the Phoenix race and Qilin race before them.
The fowls still recognize the Phoenix race, but that's just respect; they actually have no jurisdiction. The Qilin is even worse; the quadrupeds do not consider the Qilin as their rulers. If a lone Qilin is found in the wild, those wolves, tigers, and leopards might want to taste the flavor of the former ruler.
The Ancestor Dragon Hall was heartbroken. Without unconditional support from the four seas, where would their numerous divine dragons and true dragons find cultivation resources? Would they have to compete with those scattered immortals for cultivation resources on their own? The whole dragon race was confused.
The four seas' dragon kings, as well as the various dragon races with lower blood concentration, had various expressions. None of them wanted to be passing by gods. They wanted to cultivate themselves and their descendants. Before, they had to present a large amount of heavenly treasures and earthly rare items to the Ancestor Dragon Hall. Now, do they no longer need to present them?
The dragon race can't really be said to be destitute; it's more like they have been brought down to the same level as the Phoenix race and Qilin.
Recasting the Dragon Pearl? Even a hundred million years wouldn't make that happen, and for them, it's like the winter has come, and they need to prepare for a difficult period.
The dragon race wailed, but the school of Jie was quite joyful.
Several poverty-stricken Jie sect disciples hurriedly gathered their virtue.
During the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, virtues were relatively easy to obtain. At that time, the human race had just emerged, and people could accumulate virtues by building houses and catching fish. Even fools like Guiling Shenmother could make money by inventing characters with virtues. However, times have changed, and there are fewer ways to obtain virtues now.
Virtues are quite rare in the Jie sect. If it wasn't for the recent trouble in the Eastern Sea caused by the dragon race, they wouldn't have come to help, nor would they have obtained virtues.
They rarely see virtues in their daily lives, but they have seen them before. However, Jiang Ziya is the one who has never truly seen virtues.
He felt a golden light entering his body, making him feel warm and comfortable. But he didn't know what it was.
"The 'good friend' Qiu Long senior is a person with penal service. Surrounded by Jie sect immortals, there's no choice but to turn to the 'Yuqing' True Master for consultation."
Deng Chanyu doesn't think this is a particularly secret matter. Seeing the favor of the Yu Xiu Palace, she roughly explained: "Generally, immortals obtain virtues to improve their cultivation. If they encounter bottlenecks, they use virtues to break through them. Furthermore, they can retain virtues and accumulate virtues into a successively perfected divine wheel. Those who possess such a divine wheel are exempt from evil and invincible to all laws, of course, this is relative."
Not long after, Taibai Jin Xing descended from the heavens.
Jiang Ziya's task was completed well, and Heaven was satisfied.
The sea eye incident was resolved smoothly, and the Ancestor Dragon was "rescued" back. Whether it was old Jiang winning or not, you can forget about it. The task is completed.
The task of repairing the sky was formally taken over by Deng Chanyu. Even if she couldn't do it, there was Nuwa. If Nuwa couldn't either, then everyone would just pack their bags and leave to roam in chaos.
The two tasks of the sea eye and heaven repair were all completed, and old Jiang has been transferred from a temporary worker to a formal one. This time, Taibai Jin Xing invited him to ascend to heaven for an official position.
"Jiang friend, having gone through all kinds of hardships and now finally achieved his path of cultivation, it is truly something to be celebrated."
Deng Chanyu was busy, and she casually said a few congratulatory words without asking about the specific position. With Heaven's character and the current situation of the heavenly court, it wouldn't be too low of a position, but it wouldn't be too high either.
Jiang Ziya smiled back and returned the etiquette. It's really too difficult for someone like him with his cultivation level to frequently participate in major events. Now, he has finally taken a big step forward.
