The First Demon of the Chan Sect
Chapter 115 - 115 61 Return to the Island

115: Chapter 61 Return to the Island 115: Chapter 61 Return to the Island “Boom!”

Suddenly, the void changed as celestial music drifted through the air, and ten thousand auspicious clouds gathered in the dark expanse of the sky.

In an instant, auspicious halos steamed up, and a great golden light flourished!

Soon after, the Merit Clouds finished condensing.

Then, a thick Merit Golden Light descended from the heavens, seamlessly splitting into five beams.

Eighty percent of it directly enveloped four individuals standing in the void.

The remaining twenty percent transformed into countless golden specks, nurturing every star that radiated infinite brilliance.

Li Qingming nonchalantly glanced at the Merit and with a light flick of his hand, he collected this vast amount of Merit into the Qiankun Tripod.

At the same time, no one noticed a stream of Qing energy flowing subtly from Li Qingming’s Qiankun Tripod.

Li Qingming’s lips moved slightly without making a sound, clearly employing some Secret Technique.

In fact, the words Li Qingming whispered were concise, only eight characters long: “Star predecessors, please take good care!”

The Qing stream shuddered gently a few times and then vanished without a trace.

Looking at the other three, they were still immersed in the joy of receiving Merit.

Fu Xi, who had just made a breakthrough to the Peak of Quasi-Saint Middle Stage and had not yet stabilized his Cultivation, quickly consolidated his Cultivation with the aid of the Merit and even made further progress.

Di Jun, on the other hand, leveraged the power of Merit to fully step into the peak of Quasi-Saint Middle Stage, whereas Taiyi wasn’t so lucky!

The Merit only helped him heal the body that was damaged in his fight with Zhu Rong; his Cultivation, however, remained stagnant.

Nevertheless, he was exceedingly joyful.

Why, you ask?

Because the actions of Li Qingming and his companions were a grand act of Merit benefiting the Primordial Creatures for eons to come!

These tens of miles of Merit Clouds were merely the beginning.

As long as the stars in Chaos cast their light upon the land, even if it was just a sliver, the four of them would receive Merit.

It can be said that as long as the four do not harm the Primordial World, Merit will constantly accrue upon them.

“Hahaha, big brother!

With the help of Merit, all the injuries on my body are healed!” Taiyi exclaimed excitedly, waving his fists around and looking at the scattered golden specks.

Di Jun chuckled lightly without speaking.

“Keke, from now on we don’t have to worry about Spiritual Energy.

We can be free of concerns!” Fu Xi gently stroked Fu Xi’s Zither in his hands, lightly plucking the strings.

Li Qingming looked at the three and seeing that they were in deep conversation, had no choice but to step forward and interrupt: “Fellow Daoists, we have been away from Heavenly Court for hundreds of years.

Although in these hundreds of years, there have been Demon Masters and Left and Right Heavenly Masters in Heavenly Court handling affairs, I believe the three Daoists must also be overwhelmed with tasks!

Let’s leave Chaos before we continue chatting.”

Di Jun was stunned for a moment, then smacked his forehead, exclaiming, “Ah, almost caused a big mistake!

We’ve been living on the Sun Star for hundreds of years without informing our Fellow Daoists, let’s hurry back to Heavenly Court!”

The group looked at each other and all said: “Good!”

…

Also located in the Outer Heaven, deep in Chaos, was the Zixiao Palace.

Hong Jun, with a ruddy complexion and kind eyes, was meditating with closed eyes.

When the stars wandered and Merit descended from the sky, he merely raised his eyelids briefly before disregarding it.

At the Nuwa Palace, Nuwa herself was looking in the direction of the Sun Star with a smile on her lips, slightly parting her vermillion lips and murmuring to herself, “Qingmingzi, thank you for your actions this time!”

The conscience of Heaven and Earth, Li Qingming was only trying to comprehend the “Celestial Stars Formation”!

He had not anticipated the descent of Merit.

East Kunlun, Three Pure Ones Daoist School.

When the stars faded away, bringing about several times the Star Power than before, Laozi slightly frowned, Primordial smiled as he gazed into the void, and Tongtian burst into loud laughter looking up to the heavens.

Western Sumeru Mountain, Great Leiyin Temple.

“Damn it!

Qingmingzi again!

Now that he has great Merit by his side, even if we become Saints in the future, we cannot kill him.

What should we do!” Zhunti paced restlessly under the Bodhi Tree, anxiously muttering with a ferocious look on his face.

Deeply understanding the plight, Jieyin Taoist did not speak a word, but his usual troubled expression seemed to deepen!

Wanshou Mountain’s Wuzhuang Temple, Netherworld Blood Sea, Buzhou Witch Clan…

the reactions from various Great Powers differed, some were joyful, others angry!

But no matter what they thought, the fame of the four Demon Emperors spread across the entire Primordial Land!

…

Heavenly Court, Lingxiao Palace.

Di Jun sat upright on his carved crow throne, looking down upon his courtiers, some bowing, others kneeling, and declared, “My beloved officials, rise to your feet!

What virtue or ability do we possess to deserve such grand gestures?”

Despite his words, the satisfaction on Di Jun’s face was unmistakably evident.

Standing up, Hu De, whose hair and beard were white as snow and clothed in dark black Daoist robes, his true form that of the first nine-tailed heavenly fox in the world, spoke respectfully, “Your Majesties have drawn the power of the stars from chaos into the Primordial Land.

This act will bless our descendants for countless eons – truly a great merit, a great creation!

How could we not kneel in gratitude?”

Li Qingming, observing Hu De, thought to himself with disdain, “It seems whether it’s the Demon Court or the future Jade Emperor’s Heavenly Court, neither can ever be short of sycophants!

In my view, this Hu De is as good as Gold Star Taibai, Li Changgeng!”

Laughing heartily, Di Jun stepped down from his throne, helped Hu De to his feet, and responded, “Hahaha, Minister Hu speaks too highly!

We merely did what we were capable of, striving for the wellbeing of all beings in the Primordial Land.

It is but our duty!”

Hearing these words, everyone called out in unison, “Your Majesty is of great virtue!”

Li Qingming, who truly despised such pretentious fawning, stood up and addressed Di Jun, “Fellow Daoist, it has been a long time since I’ve seen my mother.

I miss her dearly!

Now that matters here are concluded, I will return to the island to serve my mother.”

Di Jun smiled and replied, “Fellow Daoist is a person of supreme benevolence and filial piety.

Very well, since you are eager to return, please do so!

When you find the leisure, come to the Heavenly Court and stay for a few days to renew our friendship.

Please!”

As he spoke, Di Jun took Li Qingming’s hand and vanished at the palace gate.

Upon seeing Li Qingming leave, all the courtiers in the full hall knelt down and cried out in unison, “We bid farewell to His Majesty, the Emperor of the North!” Each one of them possessed great cultivation, their roaring voices echoing through the Heavenly Court.

Li Qingming departed from the Heavenly Court and headed straight back to Penglai Island.

Stepping onto Penglai Island, he almost couldn’t believe his eyes – the island had undergone a complete transformation.

On the westernmost valley rose billowing multicolored auspicious clouds, seeming like a scene from a painting, surreal to the observer.

The thick medicinal scent wafted over from the valley, emerging from medicine fields of several tens of thousands of acres composed entirely of precious herbs.

The fields shimmered with rainbow lights, obviously indicating the matured Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures within, as countless palm-sized, colorful butterflies danced around these lights.

The fields bore giant ginseng, Poria, purple Lingzhi mushrooms, and fiery red fruits – all rare and exotic botanicals.

Thick spiritual energy as dense as substance continuously rolled around the perimeter of the medicine fields, pouring into them, nourishing these precious herbs to sustain their growth.

To be honest, at first Li Qingming only glanced briefly with his Primordial Spirit at the left side of the valley, without realizing the vastness of the medicine fields.

The Lotus Pond on the right side remained the same.

“The lotus leaves reach to the sky, infinite green; sunlit lotus flowers reflect a unique red!” But now, ‘red’ should be switched to ‘white’ to better suit the scene.

Right now, by the Lotus Pond, Xiong Da was drooling heavily, staring fixedly at the charmingly fragrant lotus flowers.

And Qing Han and Chi Hong were blushing with clenched fists, eyeing Xiong Da intently.

Evidently, Xiong Da was up to no good.

Sure enough, Xiong Da let out a low roar, “You two kids, step aside for Master Xiong right away!

If it wasn’t because you two are the new children taken in by our Master, I’d smush you both into pancakes with one swipe of my paw!”

Chi Hong stuck out his tongue at Xiong Da and retorted, “Pah, Master said we must guard the Lotus Pond well and not let a bear like you steal the lotus seeds!”

“Roar!

You two little brats, what harm is there if Master Xiong snatches a couple of seeds!

Hehe, as long as you don’t mention it, and I don’t mention it, Master will never find out!” Xiong Da flapped his large paw, frustrated, yet then a sly grin spread on his face.

“Chi Hong, Qing Han, we pay respects to the Master!” The two children ignored Xiong Da and instead bowed respectfully towards someone standing behind him.

“Hahaha, you’re killing me with laughter!

What’s the point of saluting me, I’m not the Master!

Could it be that you’re trying to scare me, planning to ambush me when I’m off guard?” Xiong Da held his chubby belly, laughing boisterously.

“Cough!” Li Qingming gave a soft cough, his gaze loaded with meaning as he looked at Xiong Da, and said, “Xionger!”

“Huh?” Xiong Da was dumbfounded.

“You will go to Xuanbing Cave behind the mountain and enter seclusion for ten thousand years.

You are not allowed to emerge until you reach the Late Stage of Daluo Golden Immortal!” Before Xiong Da could explain, Li Qingming gave him a kick that sent him flying towards the rear mountain.

“Ow!” Xiong Da cried out pitifully as his body drew a beautiful arc through the air and then “plonk,” he fell straight into Xuanbing Cave.
