I Am A Dignified Immortal Emperor, But The Sect Actually Let Me Marry

Wei Yunzheng chewed on the four words "dark invasion," pondering the relevant ancient texts he had consulted before, but found no records.

Returning to his senses, he began to contemplate the question of the Great Emperor Gu Chen.

Why is it that despite Gu Chen's widespread acts of kindness, he still cannot gather the Cauldron of Merit, while Wei Yunzheng can?

According to reason, as the ruler of the dynasty, with a single command, there should be no difficulty in gathering merit.

Even if it is just the command to lighten the burden of taxes and levies, the merit that can be obtained must be immense.

Yet Wei Yunzheng merely recited the words of Confucius, Mencius, and some saints in their entirety, but achieved an effect that Gu Chen could not reach.

He pondered carefully.

His eyes gradually brightened.

After a moment, he spoke, considering, "I admit that, if we only consider the contributions to this realm, I am unable to compare to my predecessors."

"But the reason why I can attract the Cauldron of Merit must be that I have done two more things than my predecessors!"

"Oh?"

Gu Chen smiled and nodded, becoming interested, and looked at Wei Yunzheng with an appreciative gaze.

"But please do tell!"

Wei Yunzheng clasped his fists and said firmly, "What I have done more than my predecessors is to educate and enlighten!"

He thought of it.

The words of the saints are meant to educate the world and be passed down for generations, naturally able to educate people for generations!

This is the most important point that can attract the Cauldron of Merit.

Educating one generation can gather merit for one generation, while educating generations can gather merit for generations!

Not to mention these well-recognized maxims of truth.

They can be passed down for more than a hundred generations, even thousands of generations, and still be widely known!

Therefore, the merit brought to Wei Yunzheng is naturally earth-shattering!

Although Gu Chen ruled over countless people and his territory spanned millions of miles, no matter how he gathered public virtue and performed good deeds, the accumulated merit was only for that era, not even enough for a single era!

How could he compare to Wei Yunzheng!

Therefore, the two words "education and enlightenment" are the key to triggering the Cauldron of Merit!

This is the one thing that Wei Yunzheng has done more than the Great Emperor Gu Chen!

Upon hearing Wei Yunzheng's answer, Gu Chen fell into deep thought.

The sun, moon, and stars revolved around him, emitting dazzling brilliance, a rare phenomenon.

As the stunning Great Emperor of ancient times, he naturally had accompanying phenomena!

Everyone fell into silence, pondering Wei Yunzheng's answer.

After a long time.

Boom!

A terrifying power that surpassed all living beings surged from Gu Chen's body, sweeping across the entire Central Continent, shrouding this corner of the world.

In the vast and magnificent celestial phenomenon, a dazzling sun slowly rose, and the Golden Crow cried out!

Gu Chen raised his head, his gaze drifting towards the boundless avenue of emptiness, "Wei Yunzheng, I understand now. Education and enlightenment are indeed something I have not done!"

"Unfortunately, I realized it too late, everything has already settled into dust."

A formidable and unparalleled aura emanated from him, as if he could support the entire world.

"This world has been invaded by darkness for far too long."

"At this moment, I can feel that the Heavenly Dao has been damaged, and darkness seems to be everywhere!"

Wei Yunzheng was greatly shocked, the information in Gu Chen's words was too significant!

He didn't know what exactly the darkness referred to, but judging from Gu Chen's solemn expression, it was definitely not a good thing.

And even the Heavenly Dao has been damaged?

How terrifying!

He felt a tremor deep in his soul, as if there was a great terror lurking around him.

Gu Chen looked at Wei Yunzheng, "With the Cauldron of Merit in your possession, you have the means to deal with the darkness. You are the future savior!"

Savior?!

Wei Yunzheng trembled fiercely, feeling that this statement was even more terrifying than being an Immortal Emperor.

"Today, I will help you gather the Cauldron of Merit, also considered as my final effort for the sake of the world!"

After speaking, the figure of Great Emperor Gu Chen began to tremble violently.

The radiant light of his meritorious deeds soared to the sky, and golden light filled the world. At the same time, chaotic energy surged out from Great Emperor Gu Chen's body.

The air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

"I, Great Emperor Gu Chen, bestow blessings upon Wei Yunzheng!"

After Great Emperor Gu Chen finished speaking, his massive figure dissipated from bottom to top, transforming into a peculiar light.

It shot straight towards Wei Yunzheng!

Wei Yunzheng only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and he closed them. When he opened them again, the light had disappeared.

Only a strange rune was left imprinted on his forehead, slowly fading away.

Perfected Being Sheng Xu clenched his fists, feeling both excited and numb.

The blessings of the ancient Great Emperor!

He knew what this meant.

It was equivalent to Wei Yunzheng gaining an extra life!

The Great Emperor could only bestow blessings once in his lifetime, how precious!

Great Emperor Gu Chen had never bestowed blessings upon anyone during his lifetime, and this bug-like skill still remained.

The Great Emperor was recognized by heaven and earth, and his blessings were equivalent to the blessings of the heavens.

As long as one didn't completely perish and have their soul erased, even if only a drop of essence blood remained, they could be reborn!

How terrifying!

Everyone who knew the effect of the Great Emperor's blessings stood still, their envy needing no further explanation.

There was nothing on Wei Yunzheng that wouldn't make others envious.

Talent, appearance, meritorious deeds, cultivation, comprehension, treasures, and the Great Emperor's blessings, among others.

Which one of these didn't make others yearn for it?

Comparison truly brings frustration.

Buzz!

Suddenly, a strange voice resounded from heaven and earth. In an instant, heavy snowflakes fell, mixed with hail and chaotic raindrops.

All the unfavorable weather phenomena appeared.

There were wailing sounds echoing throughout the entire world.

This is it!

This is it!

The heavens and earth are weeping!

When the ancient Great Emperor perished, the heavens and earth mourned. Even now, when only the remnants of Great Emperor Gu Chen's soul imprint remained in the world, it triggered this phenomenon!

If we were to go back in time to when Great Emperor Gu Chen's physical body perished, blood rain would pour down from the heavens!

But even just this was enough to shock people's hearts and minds.

In the Central State.

Countless people inexplicably felt sorrow and pain, bursting into tears.

Perfected Being Sheng Xu waved his hand, and the protective formation shielded them from the rain and snow.

"We bid farewell to Great Emperor Gu Chen!"

Wei Yunzheng raised his head, his voice thundering and echoing throughout the entire Central State under the blessing of the formation.

"Farewell to Great Emperor Gu Chen!"

In an instant, countless voices resounded.

Starting from the disciples of Extreme Emptiness, it covered the entire Central State.

Everyone knew why they were so sorrowful.

The name of Great Emperor Gu Chen was imprinted in everyone's hearts.

Wei Yunzheng looked at the gradually dimming golden light before him. The majestic figure of Great Emperor Gu Chen had long disappeared, leaving only an empty space in the world.

The divine and extraordinary Ding of Meritorious Deeds.

After absorbing the aura of meritorious deeds from Great Emperor Gu Chen, it completely solidified.

Various strange scenes evolved in the void, finally becoming vividly depicted on the surface of the Ding.

Wei Yunzheng keenly felt a soul bond between him and the Ding of Luck, as if they were one entity.
