Ancestor Hongjun watched the direction where the mysterious power had vanished, his eyes filled with doubt and vigilance. He knew very well that too many unknown secrets and powerful entities were hidden within this Chaos World, and the sudden appearance of the power that had rescued Luo Hou was undoubtedly a massive variable. However, Hongjun also understood at that moment that his top priority was to consolidate the fruits of this battle and claim the precious Heavenly Dao merits.
Hongjun calmed his mind, the Chaos Force around his body slowly receding as he raised his head to look out into the chaotic void. He saw streaks of golden light converging from all directions like threads of silk. These rays of light were the manifestation of Heavenly Dao merits, a reward for defeating Luo Hou and averting a potential world-destroying catastrophe. Hongjun gently raised his hands, and the golden lights surged toward his palms as if summoned.
In the process of absorbing the Heavenly Dao merits, Hongjun's consciousness seemed to connect with the entire Chaos World. He felt the breath and changes of all living things in the world, comprehending deeper levels of the laws of heaven and earth. The integration of every trace of merit elevated his strength even further, granting a qualitative leap to his already unfathomable cultivation.
