Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 688 - 440: Merit

```

"This..."

"Is it real or fake?"

"It’s getting more and more exaggerated."

"Indeed, Taoist Man only plays in high-end matches."

"No wonder there’s only one update every six months; this material is truly hard to find."

"Is there anyone nearby? Can you send a video from the scene?"

"I’m right here in the Shu Region, the weather station just issued a level ten thunderstorm warning."

As tribulations rose and fell, the cultivators from Fulong Mountain turned to ash, and the onlookers snapped back from their shock, unable to restrain their doubts.

No one could blame them; the jump was too great. Not to mention the powerful cultivators in the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, even the Wrath of the Heavenly Thunder had been provoked, and the Eye of Heavenly Dao had made an appearance. How could one accept all this at once?

But as the saying goes, insiders watch the excitement, while outsiders watch the process.

"Mundane Tribulation!"

"Truly terrifying to this extent!"

"Wrath of the Heavenly Thunder, Ancestor Fulong, a Great Return to Void Cultivator, turned to ashes in an instant!"

"What is this person’s background, to actually have the means to trigger the tribulation and make it come early?"

"In this way, aren’t the lives and deaths of all the Great Cavern Heavens and Blessed Lands completely in his grasp?"

"As an ancient sect in a Blessed Land, Fulong Mountain had anticipated this day coming. For years, they actively schemed and tried all means to acquire merit, even vigorously promoting the establishment of the Federation, but to no avail; they still perished under the tribulation and even attracted Heavenly Punishment."

"Was it because the sins of Fulong Mountain were too grave, and the merit obtained was insufficient for redemption? Or did this person meddle in the sacrifice to heaven, increasing the severity of the tribulation, leading Fulong Mountain into such a dire situation?"

"If it is the latter, then won’t the other Blessed Lands and Cavern Heavens be threatened just like Fulong Mountain?"

"Is this event a chance occurrence to repay a favor by that Martial Frenzied Rascal, or a calculated scheme planned in advance?"

"From the beginning, were they targeting the Ye Family and Fulong Mountain, orchestrating everything themselves?"

Compared with the public, the cultivators who knew the inside story were even more worried and fearful.

A mere Fulong Mountain, gone is gone; dead people have no value and are not worth further discussion.

The focus now is not on the fall of Fulong Mountain, but on the means of its destruction.

Heavenly Tribulation!

Mundane Tribulation!

Every Cave Heaven Blessed Land with deep karma must face its tribulation.

This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.

Fulong Mountain is no exception, nor are other Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.

How to deal with this Mundane Tribulation is a major problem that all Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands must face.

Originally, this problem was not insoluble. On the night of the Red Moon, the Outer Realm Demons brought crisis but also hope to all the Great Cavern Heavens and Blessed Lands. Acquiring merit could dissolve the tribulation.

But now, with Cheng Yaojin appearing out of nowhere, having the means to trigger the tribulation, the entire Blessed Land of Fulong Mountain was annihilated amidst the thunder.

To the other Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands, it was like a hanging sword overhead, a bone stuck in the throat, a thorn in the back, leaving them in unease and restlessness.

What should be done?

The people do not know, and it is precisely this ignorance that causes such panic.

They could only secretly hope that the demise of Fulong Mountain would put an end to this affair and not mark the beginning of more troubles, eventually leading everyone into a state of mutual distrust and danger.

They hoped that he would stop while he was ahead and not push too far...

"Boom!"

Before the thought settled, a clap of thunder brought them back to their senses.

Looking up, it was the last thunderclap, and then they saw the clouds of calamity dissipate, transforming into specks of Light of Clear Spirit that fell into the mountains.

Suddenly, a spiritual rain blanketed the empty mountain, nourishing heaven and earth, engendering growth in all living things; ancient trees sprouted buds, and green grass carpeted the land with vitality. Even the scars left by the cultivators’ battles, the wild thunder, and the Heavenly Punishment had been completely erased.

There were also birds’ chirps and insects’ calls, apes’ cries and tigers’ roars, as countless flying birds and creeping beasts, armoured with scales, flocked from the mountains to bathe in the spiritual rain and receive this new life force.

"Rumble!"

As the spiritual rain fell, the earth shook once more, and a majestic mountain gate descended from the void.

It was none other than Fulong Mountain!

Though the Cave Heaven was destroyed and the Blessed Land was dissolved, the mountain gate hadn’t completely collapsed but had remerged with heaven and earth, becoming one with it.

In just a moment, a new mountain appeared in the range; despite having suffered the tribulation and showing signs of destruction, it still stood tall and mighty, with pavilions, terraces, halls, temple palaces, and remnants of Sect buildings all conveying an atmosphere of vitality amidst their ruins, seemingly pregnant with some form of hope.

Looking at the Nine Ceremony High Altar, what had been at the summit of Fulong Mountain was now merely an offshoot peak, dwarfed by the main peak of the Blessed Land.

But the Taoist Man was unconcerned, sitting atop the altar, bathing in the rain of the empty mountain, eager to seize this grand opportunity for cultivation.

The Heavenly Dao turns, and Blessed Lands are hard to maintain. Fulong Mountain is neither the first Blessed Land to collapse nor will it be the last.

According to past practice, after the dissolution of a Blessed Land, a massive amount of Spiritual Energy would return to the world, enhancing the concentration of Yuan Spirit in the entire world, and on its original site, a location rich in Spiritual Energy would form, just like the Spirit Mountain in the Eastern Capital.

Now, Fulong Mountain was no exception, having formed a small Spirit Mountain. Although it could not compare to the Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, it was still sufficient to support the cultivation of Golden Cores and even Nascent Souls. Its value was indefinable and would typically fall into the hands of the Federation to be shared and occupied by various forces, becoming another "Tan Mountain."

But now...

Xu Yang sat high on the altar, closing his eyes and regulating his breath. In the midst of everyone’s attention, specks of golden light began to emerge from within him, and around him, spiritual rain formed a vortex, a massive amount of Spiritual Energy gathering and flowing endlessly into his body.

"What is this...?"

"The Light of Merit!"

Upon seeing this scene, some were dumbfounded, others horrified.

Those dumbfounded were the ignorant viewers in the live stream; those horrified were the disciples and successors of the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands.

There is a notion of merit in the world.

Benefitting heaven and earth is merit, and with merit comes virtue, bringing protection from heaven and earth.
