Chapter 949: Chapter 480: Merit

Fang Zhixing focused his gaze, carefully observing the merged blood drops.

This was quite astounding.

The runes etched within the blood drops became even clearer, with more content, trembling slightly and emitting a mysterious blood light.

“It seems, I can swallow and refine this drop of blood…”

What others couldn’t achieve, Fang Zhixing could easily accomplish.

The possible reasons are no more than two:

Firstly, he possesses the Six-Star Blood Heavenly Tyrant Demon Body, incredibly dominant;

Secondly, the Blood Heavenly Demon Technique also has the special effect of containing the blood of all living creatures.

With these two major factors overlapping, no matter how mystical this drop of blood was, Fang Zhixing could easily handle it.

“Seems like it’s not that miraculous after all.”

Fang Zhixing smiled lightly and casually absorbed the drop of blood into his body.

As this drop of blood entered his body, it slowly merged with his blood, interacting and combining to form a brand new type of blood.

“Hmm, the blood transformation has begun, it is somewhat miraculous.”

Being able to trigger a blood transformation indicates that the drop of blood indeed has something special.

If lucky…

The blood in Fang Zhixing’s body might undergo metamorphosis, sublimating into a more advanced type of blood!

However, the speed of blood transformation is not particularly fast, it may take a few days before the results are visible.

Fang Zhixing was in no hurry, he had plenty of patience and was willing to wait.

Unknowingly, they arrived at Duwan Star.

This planet, as its name suggests, belongs to an immortal named Du Wan.

Fang Zhixing curiously asked, “What is Du Wan’s cultivation level?”

Before Firefly Fairy could speak, Zou Yunxiang, eager to show off, answered: “Senior Du is an Upper Immortal, cultivating Merit.”

Gu Xiaoxiao curiously asked, “Oh, what Merit does he cultivate?”

Zou Yunxiang replied: “My father mentioned once, it seems to be ‘Fertile Soil’. Wherever he goes, the land is fertile, crops grow rapidly, with excellent yields, keeping famine at bay.”

Gu Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh: “A Merit Immortal is good, I want to be a Merit Immortal too someday!”

Zou Yunxiang was startled and urgently said, “Absolutely not, being a Merit Immortal is not what you imagine.”

Gu Xiaoxiao was taken aback, puzzled: “Then what do you mean by being a Merit Immortal?”

Zou Yunxiang paused, organized his thoughts, and explained seriously, “To become a Merit Immortal, one must first ‘establish a mission’. Our Tribulation Transformation Realm corresponds to their Life Establishment Realm.”

Gu Xiaoxiao responded: “Does establishing a mission mean setting a certain mission?”

Zou Yunxiang nodded slightly and elaborated: “You can understand it that way. In Taoism, it’s establishing a mission, in Buddhism, it’s making a grand vow.

For example, Senior Du Wan, when he first came to this planet, the land was barren, not a blade of grass. So he set a great mission to turn the entire planet’s land into fertile soil.

And then he really achieved it bit by bit, eventually gaining merit and transforming into a Merit Immortal.”

Gu Xiaoxiao responded: “Isn’t that great? He transformed the environment of a planet, nurturing billions of lives, making everything full of vitality, how great is that!”

Zou Yunxiang smiled wryly: “The problem is, Senior Du’s method of transforming the planet was extremely cruel. He first slaughtered many interstellar giant beasts, using their blood to splash on the ground to create fertile soil.

Then he forced billions of people to migrate here to farm, but the results were not ideal, and many people starved to death as a result.

Senior Du simply went all out, killing all the people, using their flesh, bones, and ashes to cultivate fertile soil.

After that, he once again migrated many people to farm, but still failed.

So, Senior Du had to seek another way. Later, he killed all the people on a planet with fertile soil and transferred the surface soil to this planet.

Thus, he finally succeeded in transforming it, completing his mission, and therefore gained merit.”

Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned, mouth agape, exclaiming: “He did so many bad things, yet he can still gain merit?”

Zou Yunxiang spread his hands and said: “Merit is closely tied to establishing a mission. As long as you can complete the mission, you can gain merit, no matter what methods you use. This probably is ‘for a general’s success, thousands die in blood’.

As they spoke, the group passed through the clouds, overlooking the land, seeing lush fields and countless lights from homes.’

Zou Yunxiang sighed: “The world is prosperous like this, who still bothers about how this prosperity came to be?

The people on this planet hold grand celebrations every year, sacrificing cows, sheep, and even boys and girls, to praise and thank Senior Du’s immense merit.

Well, my dad once said, when people see the glory of your success, they’ll forget the darkness of your methods.

Senior Du is a living example.”

Fang Zhixing listened quietly.

He was long aware of cultivation through merit.

Cultivating merit is no less challenging than cultivating tribulation.

Tribulation Transformation and Life Establishment, hard to distinguish in terms of difficulty.

Moreover, even if you choose to cultivate merit, it doesn’t mean you’re inherently righteous.

In reality, cultivating merit has nothing to do with morality, good or evil, right or wrong.

Merit is just the merit of an immortal!

In a sigh, the group gracefully descended into a grand and magnificent Immortal City.

Immediately, the sounds of bustling life rushed from all directions.

The streets were wide, streams of vehicles backed up in endless succession, cultivators as numerous as carp crossing a river, bustling to and fro.

“If I recall correctly, there is a Star-picking Tower in the city, its location is excellent. Standing atop the tower to watch a meteor shower, the view must be great,” Gu Xiaoxiao proposed.
