Chapter 1723: Holy Vessel of Merit
Everyone fled to the upper reaches of the River of Time. Except for Taoist Gu Yao, no one else knew that the Holy Spirit of Merit had actually set up a formation with the Holy Artifact of Merit upstream to block everyone's escape.
However, Taoist Gu Yao knew this situation, but he turned around and fled without hesitation, which also puzzled Wu Yan.
However, everyone found something wrong at this time.
When they were escaping, they suddenly felt that the River of Time below was still again.
At this time, in addition to Taoist Gu Yao and the other eight Hongmeng Heavenly Venerables, there were still fifty or sixty ordinary Heavenly Venerables who were also among the escapees.
They only sacrificed their own Holy Artifacts, and they could still travel freely on the River of Time without the Hongmeng Holy Artifact. This situation was enough to show that the River of Time had actually changed a long time ago.
It was just that everyone was only concerned with escaping before, and did not notice this at all.
During the escape, Wu Yan and Taoist Gu Yao finally learned the truth of the matter from the mouths of Doutian Saint Venerable and others.
It turned out that not long after Taoist Gu Yao left, a very strange change suddenly occurred on the Time Pond.
One by one, the holy artifacts that were originally only found in the world of the Bright Heavenly Dao suddenly emerged from the Time Pond and floated towards the Merit Golden Lotus.
Seeing so many holy artifacts suddenly emerge, how could everyone hold back? They immediately rushed towards the Merit Golden Lotus, trying to snatch these holy artifacts that emerged from the Time Pond and were completely purified by the power of light.
Even Doutian Saint was no exception, because he actually saw his own golden body among the many treasures!
Most of the Heavenly Venerables rushed over to snatch those holy artifacts, but taking advantage of this opportunity, the yellow-robed man and the other three went directly to the Merit Golden Lotus, trying to take advantage of this great opportunity to take down the golden lotus.
But who could have expected that the Heavenly Venerables who had tried to snatch the holy artifacts and the few people who tried to collect the Merit Golden Lotus were all shocked by the golden light emitted from the Merit Golden Lotus and fell into the Pool of Time.
After the golden light shocked everyone, it chased after them, trying to refine them. This finally made the Heavenly Venerables panic. They sacrificed their own holy artifacts and hurriedly went upstream along the River of Time, trying to avoid the golden light of the Merit Golden Lotus.
It was at this time that everyone suddenly realized that something was wrong, but they had no idea where the problem was. They could only control their holy artifacts to escape upstream along the River of Time.
The golden light seemed to have its own consciousness, and it also entered the Pool of Time, chasing after everyone frantically.
Once the golden light noticed that someone had deviated from the route it set, it would directly shoot out a golden light to attack and correct those people.
The more this happened, the more everyone understood that this was intentional by the Merit Golden Lotus, and they became more and more panicked.
But they had no way to deal with this situation.
Even the strongest few Hongmeng Tianzun could not do anything about the golden light, and they seemed to know the horror of the golden light better than others, and they fled faster than others.
Even Doutian Shengzun, who had been extremely strong before, was about to be refined by the merit power of the Merit Golden Lotus. How could everyone have the confidence to fight against it?
In this way, everyone fled, and the golden light chased them all the way deep into the River of Time until they met Taoist Gu Yao.
Taoist Gu Yao knew better that if they did not flee at this time, they would soon be refined by the golden light behind them. If they fled quickly, they might be able to escape from the upstream pool of time.
However, the River of Time stopped flowing at this time, which made Taoist Gu Yao and others look even uglier.
Everyone knew this situation very well!
Being able to make the river of time flow when it wants to flow and stop when it wants to stop, this has completely surpassed the means of Hongmeng Great Tianzun. Only the Heavenly Dao Master who has surpassed Hongmeng Great Tianzun can do it.
And the Holy Spirit of Merit bred in the Hongmeng Golden Lotus is obviously the Heavenly Dao Master who has surpassed Hongmeng Great Tianzun. It may even replace Hongmeng Heavenly Dao and become the new Heavenly Dao Master of the Bitter Sea World!
When the river of time stopped, everyone suddenly found that no matter which direction they fled to, it seemed like they were spinning in place, and they could not get rid of the control of the time force in the river of time!
Soon, the Tianzun found that in front of them, at some point, a very large area appeared. In this area, holy artifacts with golden light could be seen everywhere!
On some holy artifacts, very strong golden light flashed, and even lotus flowers appeared faintly in the golden light, while on some holy artifacts, the light was much dimmer.
These holy artifacts are very different from ordinary holy artifacts. At first glance, they are the holy artifacts of heavenly virtue that have been seized by the power of merit, and they are no longer the same as before.
When the Tianzun saw these holy artifacts of merit, the expressions on their faces became a little dull, especially the Tianzun who knew about them for the first time, their expressions became uncertain.
"These holy artifacts are all prepared for you, why don't you take them?"
A chaotic and erratic voice suddenly came into everyone's sea of consciousness.
Everyone turned around to find the source of the sound, and finally found that the sound came from the sky above the area of merit holy artifacts.
At this time, a huge thirty-six-petal lotus was floating in the air of that place, and no one else appeared.
That chaotic sound obviously came from the lotus.
The five people including the ancient Taoist priest, the big man in yellow robe, the one-horned Taoist priest, the lady in palace attire, etc. all gathered together. The eight people communicated with their eyes, but they were discussing how to deal with the golden lotus of merit.
The eight of them were all Hongmeng Heavenly Lords who had successfully attained the Hongmeng Dao. They were asked to abandon the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao and their freedom, and instead practice the Heavenly Dao of Merit and Virtue, becoming vassals and slaves of the Holy Spirit of Merit and Virtue. Naturally, no one wanted to have any more freedom.
"The Holy Spirit of Merit has just been conceived from the Golden Lotus, and its strength should still be at its weakest. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to escape, I'm afraid there will be no chance again. Guys, let's all work together, what can we do? Create opportunities and get rid of its control!"
The one-horned old Taoist looked at the other people with a gloomy expression.
They were discussing how to get rid of the control of Hongmeng Holy Spirit so that they could find an opportunity to escape. Unexpectedly, on the other side, those deities who had no hope of escaping jumped into the area one by one and began to collect the golden light frantically. The most prosperous holy vessels.
However, these Heavenly Lords came from a world of suffering, and basically had no hope of achieving enlightenment and seeking immortality. That being the case, they naturally want better options.
If the Holy Spirit of Merit can replace the power of Hongmeng with the power of merit and become the master of heaven in the world of suffering, then it will be equally powerful if they choose to attach themselves to the Holy Spirit of Merit, and then realize the Tao and merit, and become the Heavenly Lord of Merit!
