A Manifestation Before the People, with Immortals Offering Congratulations

Di Jun secretly circulated his magic to heal his injuries. However, physical injuries were easy to recover from, while damage to his primordial spirit required seclusion and quiet recuperation.

However, when he saw Randeng unleash the Primordial Measuring Ruler, he disregarded his injuries and shouted at Taiyi.

"Taiyi, defend with all your might! He might not be able to break through your Chaos Bell!"

But Taiyi couldn't listen to his elder brother's words at this time. Since he was born from the Sun Star, he had been smooth sailing all the way. His companion spiritual treasures were all innate treasures, and his cultivation level had always been among the top innate saints of his time.

Now, some guy has suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with a cultivation level a whole realm higher than his, and even his magic weapon is a treasure obtained through acquired merit.

Taiyi was unwilling to accept this. He had originally planned to use his power to intimidate the other party, but now that the fight had really escalated, if he cowered in fear, wouldn't that make him look like he was afraid of the Taoist?

"Come on, let's see whether the innate treasure is stronger, or your merit treasure is superior?"

Taiyi abandoned his defenses and poured all his magical power, along with his essence and blood, into the Chaos Bell.

The Chaos Bell, like a shooting star, carrying an ancient, vast, and incomparably majestic aura, crashed into the Burning Lamp. Wherever it passed, the earth, fire, wind, and water surged, and cracks appeared in space.

Ran Deng dared not be careless and also activated the Primordial Measuring Ruler with all his might. The ruler emitted a dark yellow spiritual light, and the two Dao patterns on the ruler contained infinite Dao charm and seemed to carry a weight of millions of jin, facing the Chaos Bell.

The two collided, shattering the space within a radius of 100,000 miles. Zhen Yuanzi had already retreated into the mountain-protecting formation, communicating with the Earth Book and connecting with the power of the earth's veins to activate the strongest defense.

As the dust settled and the surrounding space began to slowly repair itself, only one person remained standing at the core of the energy impact.

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler danced around the lamp, seemingly expressing joy.

He gently touched the lamp and absorbed it into his spiritual platform, using his primordial spirit to nurture the damage he had suffered.

He looked at the empty magical power within his body and shook his head slightly.

"I underestimated my opponent. If the Primordial Measuring Ruler hadn't originally been my innate spiritual treasure, and I hadn't infused it with my own merits to advance it, making it naturally intertwined with my life, and if all forty-nine restrictions hadn't been refined, I might have actually been injured."

He turned to look at the surprised reactions of the crowd and couldn't help but shake his head again. These Eastern cultivators really had never seen anything like this before.

In the West, he faced either the Demon Ancestor or the Dao Ancestor, so this kind of spectacle was really nothing special.

It should be noted that Taiyi was facing the chosen successor of the Demon Lord, the chief disciple of the Dao Ancestor, the senior brother of Zhunti and Jieyin, and the actual person in charge of the West—Randeng Daoren.

Randeng didn't even look at Taiyi's defeated figure. After all, the Chaos Bell was a supreme innate treasure, so saving his life shouldn't be a problem.

With his back to the demons, he waved his hand.

"Take him back to heal his wounds immediately. Your demon race is already so domineering even before it has been officially established. What will happen when you rule over all races? Think about it carefully."

The moment he defeated Taiyi, he realized that the Great God Pangu had allowed him to merge with the primordial world and be born ahead of time, perhaps because he foresaw a certain ending and wanted the variable of Randeng to influence the primordial world.

Di Jun held Taiyi's body in his arms and said softly.

"I have remembered what you said, fellow Daoist. Thank you for your mercy. I assure you that I will never bother you again."

Randeng nodded; Dijun's words made sense. But then Dijun asked another question.

"Fellow Daoist... Fellow Daoist, you haven't left your Daoist name yet, so that Taiyi may know who defeated him."

"This humble Taoist is Dipankara of the West!"

Ran Deng answered softly, his voice not loud, but it carried a resounding weight against the backdrop of his recent victory.

"The Western Lamp, excellent! I thought the West was barren and wouldn't produce any outstanding figures, but I never expected to find such a master as you, fellow Daoist."

Di Jun sighed in admiration, then, carrying Taiyi, he led the demons away into the distance.

"Excellent! Now Fellow Daoist Ran Deng's name will surely be renowned throughout the primordial world!"

Hongyun watched as the demons left in a sorry state, then clapped his hands and laughed.

However, the next instant, Tongtian received a telepathic message from Randeng.

"Quickly, Fellow Daoist Tongtian, come to heaven and help me! I really can't hold on any longer."

Tongtian was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and burst into laughter. This Fellow Daoist Randeng is truly a wonderful person; he suits my temperament perfectly.

He then flew into the sky and secretly helped Ran Deng down.

Everyone thought that Tongtian and Randeng had a very good relationship, and they took the initiative to go forward to greet them.

After lighting the lamp and setting it on the ground, I sat cross-legged and regulated my breathing for a while. I was basically fine, but I still needed to slowly recuperate from the remaining loss in my primordial spirit.

Upon opening his eyes, he noticed a subtle change in everyone's attitude. They all stepped forward to inquire about Randeng's injuries, to which Randeng replied that he was fine.

"Fellow Daoist, I really owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to handle this situation. Don't worry, just come to me if you need anything in the future."

Zhen Yuanzi was genuinely grateful to Randeng. The karmic debts from the Western Earth Veins had not yet been repaid, and now there was another such significant karmic debt.

With a flick of his sleeve, ten ginseng fruits appeared on the lamp-lit table, shaped like infants and filled with the spiritual energy of the Earth element.

"Take these ten ginseng fruits to heal your injuries. They have some nourishing effect on your primordial spirit. If that's not enough, I have some more in stock."

Hongyun stared wide-eyed. He knew that his Daoist brother Zhen Yuanzi treasured his ginseng fruit very much, and he had to beg for a long time before he could have a taste.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Ran Deng wasn't one to hesitate, and besides, he did need it, so he waved his hand and put them all into the space of the Measuring Ruler.

"Haha, I've been annoyed with that scruffy bird Taiyi for a long time. It's really gratifying that Fellow Daoist Randeng taught him a lesson this time."

Tongtian patted Randeng on the shoulder with great joy. If it weren't for his second brother stopping him, he would have gone to Taiyi on the Sun Star to test his sword.

"Fellow Daoist, is this Primordial Measuring Ruler formed from the accumulated merit of the creation of the world?"

Even the usually taciturn Taishang spoke up, genuinely curious about where the last ten percent of the creation merit had gone, a mystery that remained unsolved throughout the primordial world.

"To be honest, this treasure does indeed contain the merit of the creation of the world, but it was formed by combining with another of my companion spiritual treasures, and it is intertwined with my life."

Burning Lamp revealed the origin of the Measuring Ruler, thus shattering the illusions of the rest of the prehistoric world regarding that one-tenth of the merit of creation.

However, there is one thing that the lamp did not fully explain: in addition to 10% of the merit of creating the heavens, the Measuring Ruler also absorbed the merit he had painstakingly gained from repairing the earth's veins. To be precise, the Measuring Ruler has more merit than the Supreme Xuanhuang Pagoda.

The rest of the group invited Randeng to visit his cave when they had the chance.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Randeng also experienced the feeling of being the center of attention.

"Alright, let's continue our ginseng fruit feast."

The ginseng fruit feast that Ran Deng had been waiting for for half a day finally began.

Zhen Yuanzi clapped his hands and had the boy serve each person another ginseng fruit.

"You may take it now, and then we will begin our discussion."

As soon as Ran Deng ate the ginseng fruit, it transformed into a warm current that flowed into his limbs and bones. A trace of pure Earth essence also traveled upwards to his spiritual platform and merged into his primordial spirit.

The depletion of his primordial spirit caused by the earlier clash with Taiyi is now being nourished and is slowly recovering.

Randeng's eyes lit up. This ginseng fruit truly lived up to its reputation as one of the ten great spiritual roots. Regardless of the thousands of years of magical power it brought, its effect of nourishing the primordial spirit was rare even in the prehistoric world.
