Master of the Demon Emperor-Chapter 446: Merits of the Great Dao [4th Update]
```
Boom!
A roaring sound came from the distant horizon, followed by a figure who shot up into the sky—it was none other than the leader of the Dugu Heavenly Clan.
He was visibly upset, his eyes filled with rage, as he cursed, "Too cunning! To actually deceive me with a doppelganger!"
At that moment, Ji Bubai, the Great Golden-Winged Roc, the Silent Annihilation Celestial, the Northern War God, Mad Immortal, and the Dark Devourer successively appeared beside him.
They looked down at the rolling ice fog below and could clearly see the body of the Demon God underground.
"A doppelganger, huh? This Supreme Demon Emperor's trump cards really are endless."
The Silent Annihilation Celestial murmured to himself, knowing that if the Supreme Demon Emperor had used this doppelganger earlier, their chances of victory would have been even slimmer.
Fortunately, Emperor Su appeared in time, striking the Supreme Demon Emperor with overpowering strength and sending him flying, intimidating the entirety of the Little World.
Dugu Heavenly Clan's leader took a deep breath as he scanned the Little World with his Divine Sense.
With the restrictions now destroyed, he could probe the Little World without any restraint.
Quickly, his expression drastically changed.
Because he could no longer sense Su Yie's presence.
Although he hadn't witnessed the battle between Emperor Su and the Supreme Demon Emperor himself, the overpowering presence of the knife's aura from that fight still sent chills down his spine.
And Emperor Su was even stronger!
If Su Yie were dead, would Emperor Su take his anger out on him?
At the thought, the Dugu Heavenly Clan's leader's face turned deathly pale, his body even trembling slightly.
Seeing him in such a panic, the others secretly laughed, all too aware of what the Dugu Heavenly Clan's leader feared.
The others offered no explanations, leaving him to stew in his fear.
"Alright, it's time to go."
Ji Bubai said as he waved his sleeve, this battle had not been without gains; at the least, they had seen Emperor Su take action.
Only by witnessing Emperor Su's power with their own eyes could they develop a sense of belonging and security towards Emperor Su's Sect.
Meanwhile.
Su Yie was in a branch palace hall, where countless Spirit Stones and magic treasures filled the place. He lay back comfortably atop Spirit Mountain.
For the next several tens of thousands of years, he wouldn't have to worry about resources for his cultivation.
After communicating with Nan Xiaopao in his mind for a while, he stored all these treasures in the Repository of the Dao.
After he left the branch palace, the palace itself became intangible, hidden in the shadows.
Flying above the canyon, Su Yie gazed down thoughtfully.
Should he set up some protective measures?

Unfortunately, he wasn't skilled in arrays, and since the beings of the Chaos Land were all very powerful—perhaps even stronger than those from the Ancient Wilderness—an array would likely be of little use.
After some thought, Su Yie decided to cultivate in the vicinity.
With his powerful Demon Qi, there probably wouldn't be many beings bold enough to trespass here.
And so, Su Yie began constructing a stone palace suitable for his dwelling.
No being in Chaos Land posed a threat to him, and he would now return to the monotonous routine of cultivation.
...
Within Emperor Su's Sect.
Ji Bubai: Hahaha, those bastards from the Immortal Sea Alliance sure know what's good for them.
Silent Annihilation Celestial: We've killed so many beings of the Chaos Imperial Clan, it's become a fight to the death.
Great Golden-Winged Roc: A fight to the death then, who are we afraid of?
Dark Devourer: The Chaos Imperial Clan isn't as terrifying as the legends claim.
Northern War God: The youngsters of the Ancient Wilderness, we've held off this wave of attacks from the Chaos Imperial Clan.
Divine Ghost Emperor: It's a pity, I didn't get to see Emperor Su in action.
Zhuge Liang: The main targets of the Chaos Imperial Clan are still those from the Ancient Wilderness; they only sent a fraction of their forces to the Immortal Sea Alliance's Star Region.
...
After a month of cultivation, Ji Bubai and the others finally retreated in their entirety, as time flowed differently.
```
"If time flows differently in the Ancient Wilderness and the Chaos Land, why was the time in that star region almost the same as in the Ancient Wilderness before?"
Su Yie was puzzled. In the depths of his mind, he suddenly felt that this Chaos Land was not as simple as he had imagined.
The Heavenly Emperor brought him here and taught him, choosing this Chaos Land. Could there be a deeper meaning?
The Great Dao communication device gave him no answer, and the two Sword Souls were completely baffled. The rules of time were too advanced for them.
Unable to figure it out, Su Yie couldn't be bothered to think any further and focused on his cultivation instead.
The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures hoarded by the Supreme Demon Emperor were very rare; at least Su Yie had not seen them in the Ancient Wilderness.
Since the Great Dao communication device could detect poison, Su Yie could consume them with peace of mind.
Time flickered by.
Two thousand years hurried past.
Su Yie's Demon Qi became formidable, turning an area of a hundred miles into a forbidden zone of the Chaos Land. Rumors said that Emperor Su cultivated here, and those who dared to intrude would undoubtedly die.
Therefore, during this time, except for the occasional disturbances from Jin Dun and Black Eye, Su Yie's cultivation was very relaxed.
His physical strength leaped directly to sixty-seven million Dragon's Strength!
All thanks to the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures of the Supreme Demon Emperor.
Besides that, Su Yie would spend half of his time cultivating his Divine Skills.
His Cultivation Realm had already reached Perfection in the Realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal, and he was only one step away from stepping into the Supreme Immortal of the Great Luo.
The Daluo is divided into three realms: Daluo Golden Immortal, Supreme Immortal of the Great Luo, and Primordial Immortal of the Great Luo. The difficulty of breaking through is incomparable to the previous realms.
Once reaching the Realm of the Great Luo, Mana would undergo a transformation, and both the Taoist Fruit and the Immortal Residence would be enhanced, generating more Mana.
On this day, a domineering voice echoed across the Chaos Land.
"I am the first demon between heaven and earth, Mo Jingcang. Today, I declare to all beings the creation of the Demon Race, hoping for the Great Dao's blessing!"
As soon as the voice fell, a boundless and majestic pressure descended, enveloping the hearts of all beings, causing their souls to tremble.
Even Su Yie suddenly opened his eyes.
"This pressure..."
Su Yie murmured to himself, never having felt such majesty before. It did not horrify him; rather, it filled him with awe.
It was like an ant beholding the vast sky, feeling reverence and longing.
"Heavenly Dao Merits... No! Merits of the Great Dao..."
Feng Long exclaimed in Su Yie's mind, his words laden with disbelief.
Merits!
Su Yie's eyes widened. He often came across this word in ancient legends and tales.
Merits are rewarded by the Heavenly Dao for performing great deeds for the world and its beings.
Great deeds are not limited to any individual, but pertain to the entire world, actions that propel the development of the world, and deeds that can save all beings from dire straits are considered great deeds.
It's said that the power of Heavenly Dao Merits can greatly enhance one's cultivation!
It might even lead to instant sanctification!
How terrifying would the Merits of the Great Dao then be?
Su Yie fell into deep thought. Mo Jingcang was like the first being to establish a race, to build up the concept of races, pushing the evolution of the Chaos Land, thus being rewarded with Merits by the Great Dao.
If he were to be the first to found a sect, could he also receive Merits of the Great Dao?
He suddenly thought of the Heavenly Emperor preaching.
The first preaching to promote the ways of cultivation, the Merits he received were surely incomparable to Mo Jingcang's.
Why then did no pressure from the Great Dao appear at that time?
"It's best that you don't involve yourself with Merits of the Great Dao."
Just then, Ling Ding spoke coldly and indifferently.
"Why?"
Su Yie asked in confusion. Wasn't quick advancement in cultivation a good thing?
"Because you are not a native being of this Great Dao. Your very presence has already disrupted the evolution of the Great Dao. How do you know if what you receive will be Merits of the Great Dao, or punishment from the Great Dao? Moreover, with your talent, you don't need to depend on the Great Dao, nor do you need to rely on Merits for your Path of Testimony. Otherwise, when you reach a certain height, how will you break free from the constraints of the Great Dao?"
Ji Bubai replied, prompting Su Yie to fall into contemplation.
