Chapter 653: Chapter 514: Completing the Three Realms, Merit of the Heavenly Dao_2

It was as if it had never appeared, leaving nothing behind.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao gradually calmed, and twenty-four jade blocks flew out from Daoist Ancestor Hongjun’s body, with another eight identically-sized jade blocks flying in from various places in the Three Realms, converging together in the Origin Land.

Feeling the aura being emitted by the jade blocks, Wang Yang could only feel somewhat intoxicated.

He even thought how wonderful it would be if they all belonged to him.

This thought no sooner emerged than Wang Yang abruptly came to his senses, violently shaking his head to toss the thought aside.

At the same time, looking at Hongjun with surprise and unease on his face.

After all, this was on the Heavenly Dao’s turf; was there a bolder thought than wanting to steal from the Heavenly Dao?

"Hahaha, it’s not surprising to have such thoughts. When I first got these, I was even more obsessed than you,

Yet you woke up from it so quickly, which is truly no easy feat!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun didn’t care about Wang Yang’s momentary lapse at all.

And these words also gave Wang Yang a bit of comfort, allowing his heart to gradually calm down; he watched the Heavenly Dao and the thirty-six jade blocks, curious to see what the Heavenly Dao would do.

Under the watchful eyes of Wang Yang and Hongjun, the thirty-six jade blocks of equal size gradually fused together, forming a disk.

The broken parts had long since vanished, and when the disk appeared before them, it was as though it had never been damaged.

"Mending the Broken Mirror!"

Wang Yang’s heart gave a jolt; it was said that a shattered mirror was hard to mend, and even magical treasures, when broken and reforged, would not be the same as before.

Yet this disk was indeed pieced together from thirty-six jade blocks, without being reforged.

And still, it appeared as new, without the slightest trace of damage.

"The Creation Jade Disc, I never thought I’d see it reappear!"

Hongjun exclaimed, in the Three Realms, no one knew more about the Creation Jade Disc than he.

After the Great God Pangu died from exhaustion following the Creation of Heaven and Earth, the Creation Jade Disc that had borne the weight of the Three Thousand Daos of the Three Realms also shattered, turning into thirty-six jade blocks.

These thirty-six pieces were collected by Daoist Ancestor Hongjun, twenty-four of them, and it was with the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc that he was ultimately able to certify his status as a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

From this, it is evident how precious the Creation Jade Disc is in the Three Realms.

However, for countless years, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun could no longer find any pieces of the Creation Jade Disc; the remaining eight, like vanished, made Daoist Ancestor Hongjun feel that reassembling the Creation Jade Disc was hopeless.

But now, after absorbing the core of the earth,

The Heavenly Dao actually summoned the Creation Jade Disc and let it reassemble and complete itself, evoking much emotion in Daoist Ancestor Hongjun.

"Truly the first Supreme Treasure of the Three Realms, even superior to the Primordial Green Lotus!"

Seeing that Wang Yang’s gaze never strayed from the Creation Jade Disc, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun explained, "The Creation Jade Disc is engraved with the Three Thousand Daos of the Three Realms and also bears the force of cause and effect in the Three Realms."

"To possess the Creation Jade Disc is akin to being half of the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms."

"To think that I had always assumed there would be no more opportunities to see it in the world, and yet today, it once again presents its undamaged side before me!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had once witnessed the complete Creation Jade Disc and also personally saw it shatter.

It was precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to take most of the Creation Jade Disc into his possession.

Now, seeing the Creation Jade Disc once more, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun could not help but think back to the time before the heaven and earth were divided, when all was Chaos, and the three thousand Divine Demons awoke in succession, to the times when the Great God Pangu fought tumultuously in the Chaos.

"Perhaps, it is because the Heavenly Dao is complete, that the Creation Jade Disc could be reassembled!"

"Had the Heavenly Dao still been incomplete, even if all the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc were gathered, it might mean nothing."

Wang Yang stared at the Creation Jade Disc with somewhat differing thoughts.

And upon hearing this, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun paused, then also felt that Wang Yang made a lot of sense.

But now that the Creation Jade Disc had reappeared, as witnesses to this event, neither Wang Yang nor Daoist Ancestor Hongjun spoke again, but watched the Creation Jade Disc, watched the serene Heavenly Dao.

After the Misty Qi repaired the Creation Jade Disc to its original state, it wrapped around the Disc, as if cherishing its own child.

But after a while, the Misty Qi spit the Creation Jade Disc back out, letting it fly into the midair.

Seeing this scene, both Wang Yang and Daoist Ancestor Hongjun felt somewhat excited; they had thought the Heavenly Dao wanted the Creation Jade Disc for itself, but it now appeared to be not the case at all.

Now that the Creation Jade Disc had flown out again, did he too have a chance to obtain it?

After all, this was once the number one supreme treasure of the Three Realms; to say one didn’t want it would be complete nonsense.

Just as the two were thrilled, the Creation Jade Disc did not disappoint, floating in the air for a while before flying towards Wang Yang and Daoist Ancestor Hongjun.

This excited Wang Yang and Daoist Ancestor Hongjun even more.

The flying speed of the Creation Jade Disc wasn’t fast, but the distance between it and the two wasn’t far either.

In no time, the Creation Jade Disc had flown in front of them.

At that moment, the target of the Creation Jade Disc became very clear; it was heading straight for Wang Yang.

This caused a tinge of envy in Daoist Ancestor Hongjun.

However, soon after, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun let go of such feelings.

He shook his head inwardly, feeling that his state of mind was still not sufficient.

As for Wang Yang standing beside him, when he saw the Creation Jade Disc fly to his side, his heart nearly leaped into his throat.

When he stretched out his hands to catch the Creation Jade Disc, and the cool sensation truly transferred to his palms, Wang Yang dared to believe that the Creation Jade Disc had indeed chosen him.

"Congratulations, Daoist Wang Yang, with the Creation Jade Disc, your combat power will surely rise to another level!"

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun said to Wang Yang with a smile.

If it had been someone else, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun might have snatched it away, for no one could resist the allure of the Creation Jade Disc.

But the other party was Wang Yang, and truly, Daoist Ancestor Hongjun had no thought of snatching it from him.

Wang Yang had contributed so much to the Three Realms, and he even offered up the Core of the Earth, completing the celestial Dao of the Three Realms; his great kindness to the Three Realms warranted his possession of such a treasure.

As for the fact that these were offerings to the Heavenly Dao, unrelated to Hongjun, over countless years, Hongjun had come to see himself as one with the Three Realms, and the Three Realms as himself.

"Many thanks, Ancestral Master!"

Wang Yang politely returned the greeting. That thank you may have also included gratitude toward Hongjun for not attempting to snatch it away.

"Now that everything here is settled, and the fragmented celestial Dao of the Three Realms has been restored, we should return."

Hongjun smiled lightly, not dwelling on the matter but speaking to Wang Yang instead.

Four years had passed in the Three Realms since the offering of the Core of the Earth.

Now that the Core of the Earth had been fully absorbed by the Heavenly Dao, and the fragmented Great Dao had been restored, there was no longer any reason for them to stay here.

This Origin of the Great Dao was indeed a supreme treasure for Quasi-Saints, but for the two of them, it was of no further use.

"Yes!"

Wang Yang nodded in agreement. He was ready to go back and study the Creation Jade Disc he had just obtained.

But just as the two turned around and were about to return beyond the heavens, the Origin Land suddenly erupted in a rich golden light, causing the steps they had already lifted to come to an immediate halt.

"The Power of Merit!"

Turning back around, they spoke in unison.

After speaking, skies filled with golden light enveloped them completely.

An endless surge of the Power of Merit rushed towards them, heedless of whether they absorbed it or not, directly flowing into their bodies.

Wang Yang too accepted this power of merit, but this kind of merit was clearly different from what he had encountered before.

Not to mention, if it had been the golden light of the past, placed upon the Saint’s Body now, it would probably not have been absorbed as quickly as inhaling spiritual energy.

However, the current golden light, it didn’t take long for Wang Yang to feel a sense of saturation, and his Saint’s Body, which had already undergone a transformation, felt as if it was trending towards the transition to a Virtue Body under the impact of the Power of Merit.

And Wang Yang’s cultivation level was also improving, bit by bit.

Though the improvement was slow, compared to the cultivation of a Saint, it was already incomparably faster.

This was a gift from the Heavenly Dao, it was also the Heavenly Dao’s gratitude towards Hongjun and Wang Yang.

For this reason, the two stood in the Origin Land, immersed in the ocean of merit.

Gradually growing stronger.
