Chapter 76 We are Merchants

The power of merit had a myriad of great uses, such as enhancing realms, evading Heart Demons, comprehending Heavenly Dao, shielding against Heavenly Machine, and so forth. It was a profound power pursued by many cultivators in the past. For nine thousand years since the disappearance of the ladder to immortality, the power of merit also had not appeared in Jiuzhou for nine thousand years. No matter how many feats of great kindness and generosity people accomplished, not a trace of merit power would appear. Gradually, the cultivators forgot about the existence of the power of merit.

The force with the most remaining power of merit was the Dream River Dynasty, so domineering that they could use bricks of merit gold to build a golden house for the Fairies of Red Dust. However, this was the folly of the Dream River Emperor. When he sobered up, he hurriedly collected the gold bricks and treasured them, storing them carefully in the national treasury.
