Chapter 1448 : Merits Purple Light

With the power of the Void Spirit Treasure, the group swiftly traversed the boundless heavens and earth, emerging in a distant realm of space.

The instant everyone materialized, they immediately unleashed their defensive divine abilities to guard against their surroundings.

Seeing no fire crows around, everyone burst into hearty laughter. Daoist Zixuan said with unrestrained delight, "By slaying that vile Yin Crow Fiend, we've finally vented our pent-up rage."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded with a faint smile, while the beautiful female cultivator gazed at Eldrin with shining eyes and said, "Had you not comprehended the laws of space, Fellow Daoist, we likely wouldn’t have been able to keep the Shadow Crow Fiend here in this battle."

An elder at the late-stage Earth Immortal realm also marveled, "It is said that the laws of space are among the most supreme principles. Fellow Daoist, having cultivated such profound laws, your future prospects are truly boundless."

"The 3 1000 great paths, though divergent, lead to the same end—how can any be deemed superior or inferior?"

Eldrin (Person Name) spoke with humility, shaking his head as he said, "Moreover, in this battle, every 1 of you has contributed no small effort."

Everyone nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Those capable of cultivating to the Earth Immortal realm were never ordinary individuals, and every being who had stepped into the late-stage Earth Immortal realm and beyond possessed their own signature mastery.

If not for that cunning old fiend Yin Crow, who hid within the void using the Sky-Fleeing Shuttle and special foreign treasures, everyone present wouldn't be feeling so stifled.

"Without your mastery over spatial laws, Fellow Daoist, we would have wielded our world-sundering power in vain, only to be grievously ambushed by that sinister Elder Yin Crow."

The True Lord of Shattered Cauldron shook his head, then gazed at Eldrin (Person Name) and said, "Fellow Daoist, your Primordial Chaos Divine Form possesses world-overturning power. Its might is unparalleled in all my years of cultivation. Should the opportunity arise, I would welcome a contest of skills."

Eldrin nodded with a faint smile. "Should the opportunity arise, I would gladly exchange a move or 2 with the True Lord."

With that said, no 1 spoke further.

After exchanging introductions, they gained a general understanding of each other's backgrounds. It was then that Eldrin learned the beautiful female immortal was called 'Soulsnatch Enchantress,' a Perfected Earth Immortal at the Great Perfection stage who cultivated the Dao of Soul Laws and Dao Fruits.

The Amethyst Mystic retrieved the Shadow Crow Mystic’s storage pouch and said with a light laugh, “Slaying the Shadow Crow in this battle has rid the world of a great scourge. Let us see what lies within his storage pouch.”

Everyone nodded, yet recalling the rewards that came with slaying the Yin Crow Daoist, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The Shadow Crow Fiend had lived for over 30 million years, a supreme Earth Immortal at the Great Perfection stage who cultivated vicious unorthodox methods. Throughout his life, he had committed countless acts of slaughter.

Rumors claimed he had slain no fewer than several 1000 immortals, including over 20 or 30 Earth Immortal Patriarchs. Among them were 3 at the Great Perfection stage of Earth Immortality, while the remaining cultivators and mortals he had slaughtered were beyond counting.

Such a rare and formidable fiend had amassed an immensely powerful karmic evil energy, with a full 80-3 beams of karmic evil light.

After slaying the Shadow Crow Fiend, boundless virtue power manifested, coalescing into 80-3 streams of karmic radiance. These luminous manifestations of merit were distributed among the Earth Immortals who had participated in the battle.

Among them, Patriarch Zi Xuan obtained the most—a full 20-5 rays of merit purification light.

Lord Broken-Cauldron severely wounded the Old Freak Dark-Crow, his contribution second only to Patriarch Violet-Mystery, and thus obtained 10 strands of merit light.

Eldrin manipulated the Laws of Space to activate the Boundary Heaven Vessel, sealing off the escape route of the Shadow Crow Fiend. He also claimed 10 strands of merit purification light.

In the instant the Soul-Snatching Fairy used the 9 Nethers Soul-Snatching Bell to immobilize the Shadow Crow Fiend, she created an opportunity to strike a heavy blow against him. Having contributed immensely to the battle, she was rewarded with 9 strands of virtuous light.

Thus, the 4 of them obtained 50-4, while the remaining Earth Immortal Patriarchs each gained something as well.

Among them, Lyra obtained 2 strands, while Verdant Princess, Seraphina Qu, Kael, and Donghuang each received 1.

Now, as for Eldrin, after obtaining 10 strands of virtue light, 10 luminous rings of virtue slowly manifested behind his head. Unbeknownst to him, the virtue light had reached 16 strands, surpassing the radiance of his own karmic calamity.

As the radiance of virtue surpassed the glow of karmic sin, Eldrin let out a sigh of relief, feeling the immense pressure diminish significantly.

他缓缓呼出了一口气，而后笑着说道：“有此功德清光，看来只要不多造杀孽，往后修炼到地仙后期之前，应当不用担心业煞之力了。”

At that very moment, Eldrin looked up and saw Daoist Zixuan gradually absorbing boundless power of virtue.

As he continued to absorb, moments later, divine rings of virtue unfurled behind his head—over 1 100 and 80 in total.

"How could there be so many?"

Eldrin's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment.

Seeing this, Daoist Zixuan smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist, 1 can never have too much Virtuous Merit Light."

"Oh?" Eldrin was momentarily taken aback before inquiring, "I beg your guidance."

"This halo of virtue light possesses boundless, miraculous functions. It represents immeasurable merit residing within 1's being. For us immortals, it not only serves as protection but also ensures the favor of the Heavenly Dao in our future cultivation."

As Elder Zixuan elaborated with measured words, Eldrin came to understand the profound mysteries of the Virtuous Merit Aura.

Immortals who possess great virtue are typically those who have made immense contributions to their world. They may be guardians of heaven and earth, regulators of terrestrial veins and landscapes, or slayers of demonic cultivators who bring calamity to the realms.

A faint glimmer of merit might not amount to much, but an immortal bearing great virtue would naturally earn the favor of the Heavenly Dao's will.

"If 1 manages to condense a strand of Virtuous Merit Purple Radiance, breaking through bottlenecks will feel as divinely aided as the heavens themselves lending their strength."

"Even condensing the Primordial Unity Dao Fruit yields wonders no less than the Luck Dao Gold, effortlessly increasing 1's chances of success by 10 percent."

Daoist Zixuan began to speak slowly, explaining in this manner.

Hearing this, Eldrin finally understood the profound utility of virtue power and realized why Daoist Zixuan had risked entering the Nether Abyssal Purgatory Sea 7 times.

The reason Daoist Zixuan had ventured into the Abyssal Purgatorial Sea 7 times in succession was to obtain the power of Virtuous Radiance.

Only by condensing 1 1000 rays of Virtuous Merit Light could 1 coalesce a single ray of Violet Merit Light. In the Qingcang Immortal Realm, the Violet Merit Light was considered a supreme radiance of virtue.

Generally speaking, even a mighty figure at the early Celestial Immortal stage, having guarded the Chaos Abyss for 10 million years, would at most be able to condense a single strand of Virtuous Merit Purple Light.

With the aid of karmic purple light, 1 could gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao, increasing the chances of success by 10 percent when condensing the first 2 types of the Taiyi Dao Fruits.

甚至凝聚第三种开天道果之时，如果愿意消耗这道功德紫光，还能引来擎苍仙域一缕天道本源，增加一成突破的把握。

"Alas, condensing the violet light of virtue is far too arduous."

Daoist Zixuan murmured softly, letting out a faint sigh.

To condense the Virtuous Purple Light, the most effective method is to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, then guard the Chaotic Abyss, assisting the Vast Azure Immortal Domain in continuously drawing upon and refining the primordial chaos energy.

Beyond that, all other methods of obtaining the Virtuous Merit Purple Light are far too rare.

Although demonic cultivators carried boundless sin and slaughter, slaying them could grant merit power. However, the more potent a demonic cultivator's sin and slaughter energy, the more arduous it became to eliminate them.
