"Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo
(O_O)
Shocked face!
"Father, you truly live up to being a Transmigrated Great Emperor. To cultivate to the Golden Core stage and already acquire Merit and Wishing Power, I'm truly impressed! However..."
"Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo suddenly shifted his tone.
"Nobody understands Merit and Wishing Power better than I do! It truly only has two uses: whether it's refining Merit Spirit Treasures or cultivating Merit Dharma Bodies, both require immense amounts of Merit and Wishing Power. The Merit and Wishing Power you've obtained now is far too little, completely useless..."
On this point, the "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo was not wrong.
"Qingyang Village" was merely a remote, small mountain village with a population of no more than five hundred.
Each of them fervently offered their devotion to the "Dragon Rider Statue."
In the end, Hao Ren only harvested less than 0.5 points of "Merit and Wishing Power."
Too little!
Let alone cultivating a "Merit Dharma Body."
Simply put, even for refining a "Merit Spirit Treasure."
It would require at least tens of thousands of points of "Merit and Wishing Power."
And for a powerful, top-tier "Houtian Spirit Treasure," such as Hao Ren's "Qingyuan Immortal Sword," it would be impossible to refine without hundreds of thousands of "Merit and Wishing Power"!
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
A drop in the bucket!
This was why the "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo asserted that the small amount of "Merit and Wishing Power" Hao Ren obtained was entirely useless.
However, before his words even finished, a drastic change occurred.
The meager amount of "Merit and Wishing Power," after gathering around Hao Ren, did not, as usual, swirl around him.
Normally, "Merit and Wishing Power," when unused, would continuously circle around the user, unextinguishable and unbreakable.
Yet, Hao Ren's 0.5 points of "Merit and Wishing Power" only spun around him briefly before with a "whoosh," it actively burrowed into Hao Ren's dantian.
"Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo
(o o)
Stunned!
This anomaly, which defied all logic, left "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo dumbfounded!
Impossible!
"Merit and Wishing Power" was the most gentle and stable of energies; it could not possibly "go berserk" for no reason!
As someone who understood "Merit and Wishing Power" the most, Chuan Jianguo felt his authority as a "know-it-all" was severely challenged.
He frowned, rapidly contemplating why such a "变故" (bian gu, abnormality) had occurred.
After much thought, Chuan Jianguo could not find any clues.
His "expression management" began to slip, his features becoming increasingly contorted, even contorted and ferocious.
It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be, it's impossible...
Seeing this, Hao Ren offered comfort.
"Jianguo, it's alright. You aren't omniscient, are you? Even if there are some things you don't understand, I won't laugh at you! I really won't laugh at you!"
His comfort, however, only ignited Chuan Jianguo's "will to win."
Chuan, the Great Filial Son, the Know-It-All, Jianguo, leaped up in agitation!
"Father, please rest assured, I will definitely figure out what's happening!"
With that, Chuan Jianguo gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, left the "Pushing Heaven Mirror" on which he relied for survival, and followed the "Merit and Wishing Power" into Hao Ren's dantian.
Frankly speaking, Chuan Jianguo had a trauma regarding Hao Ren's dantian!
Because his first experience entering Hao Ren's dantian was truly unpleasant!
That time, he was nearly annihilated by the "Seventy-Two True Demons of Chaos"!
"Seventy-Two True Demons of Chaos," the most ferocious beings of the primordial era!
The "fighter jet" among villains!
The "flagship" of evil!
Born from the "Chaos and Primordial Chaos," they were the ancestors of all "demons" in existence, incredibly powerful!
Countless mighty ancient beings had been slain by them.
In the face of the "Seventy-Two True Demons of Chaos," Chuan Jianguo, a mere "remnant soul of a Great Emperor," was truly insignificant.
Terrifying!
Too terrifying!
...
For his dear father, the "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo had truly risked everything this time.
Upon entering Hao Ren's dantian, he discovered with horror that the "Merit and Wishing Power" was heading straight for the "True Demon Stone."
The golden "Merit and Wishing Power," vast and majestic, filled with righteousness.
It was starkly incompatible with the sinister, ferociously oppressive "True Demon Stone."
Yet, the two forces, like Yin and Yang in Tai Chi, distinct yet mutually attracting.
Whoosh!
A muffled sound.
The "Merit and Wishing Power" merged into the "True Demon Stone."
The originally ferociously oppressive, pitch-black "True Demon Stone" was now tinged with a faint golden hue.
Rumble!
The entire dantian void violently vibrated.
The "True Demon Stone" seemed to boil at this moment.
Countless terrifying demonic energies surged upwards, exuding immense malevolence... and yet, also a trace of sacred solemnity.
What was happening?
Hao Ren's divine sense also entered the dantian. The moment he arrived, he witnessed this contradictory and conflicting scene.
Hao Ren was completely bewildered.
The "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo, however, was utterly shocked and astonished.
"Heavens, could that legend be true?"
Hao Ren asked through his divine sense.
"What legend?"
The "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo, struggling to calm his emotions, explained to Hao Ren.
The "Seventy-Two Chaos True Demons" were formed from the "extreme evil" within chaos, inherently malicious and filled with boundless malevolence!
Conversely, "Merit and Wishing Power" was the most upright force in all the myriad worlds, representing "extreme good."
One evil, one good, one Yin, one Yang.
Like the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi, mutually opposing, yet capable of merging under certain special conditions, complementing each other's good and evil, harmonizing Yin and Yang!
As a result, within Hao Ren's dantian, the "True Demon Stone" and the "Merit and Wishing Power" met these special conditions, and they actually achieved fusion!
Hao Ren asked through his divine sense.
"What abnormality will occur after the fusion of Merit and Wishing Power with the True Demon Stone?"
As a "hiding cultivator," Hao Ren was now very worried about himself.
If the "Seventy-Two Chaos True Demons" were to lose control, would his little life be over?
The "Great Filial Son" Chuan Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then finally replied helplessly.
"I'm sorry, Father, I truly don't understand this!"
Even Chuan Jianguo, the "Know-It-All Great Emperor," did not know what abnormality would occur after the fusion of Merit and Wishing Power with the True Demon Stone.
Just then, a sudden change occurred!
Rumble!
An explosion.
The entire dantian void vibrated violently.
The "True Demon Stone" completely shattered.
A torrent of violent power swept and raged.
Even the "Golden Cores" at the core of the dantian were affected, blown about and unsteady.
Hao Ren's face turned ashen with fear.
Not good!
This is terrible!
Upon shattering, the "True Demon Stone" revealed seventy-two "True Demon Statues."
Those statues stood tall in the dantian void, each lifelike, ferocious, and emanating boundless, terrifying auras.
Utterly evil!
Demonic energy surged!
The "Seventy-Two Chaos True Demons" had broken free from Hao Ren's restraint!
