My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 326 It can't be divided up, it's simply impossible to divide up!

Li Wei's entry on "deceiving the world and stealing fame" suggests that one can accumulate merit and vows by gaining fame; the greater the fame, the more merit and vows one can accumulate.

His reputation has been steadily rising.

Especially after the establishment of the Blissful Demon Land, he laid the foundation for the Jiazi Demon Extermination Campaign as the acting Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, attracting the attention of countless people. At that time, he received a 47% increase in the probability of becoming an immortal!
After he was hunted down by the White Bull Demon King and the Zhongzhou Bocai Group opened for business, cultivators in the Three Realms, while not necessarily knowing everything about him, at least knew of the existence of this "Heavenly Emperor's Special Envoy".

This cheating hearing incident has made Li Wei a household name.

Because of the collapse of the Wenchang Danying Small Cave Heaven, this unified examination already attracted countless people's attention. In addition, the sensationalism of "cheating on the exam" and "Li Wei wanting to judge himself" brought the event to the maximum level of attention.

Not to mention that Li Wei eventually uncovered a major corruption case within the Zhongzhou Immortal Abode's Selection and Teaching Division.

The fact that the Immortal Selection Division spread rumors about Li Wei, only to have Li Wei discover that their funds came from illegitimate sources, was incredibly entertaining.
Moreover, in the history of the Celestial Sphere, no one has ever sent an entire department of the Celestial Palace to Hell to serve their sentences all at once.

Therefore, a series of events have led to an unprecedented level of public interest in this hearing.

The total number of live streams across all platforms has long exceeded 100 billion.

During this time, Li Wei gained the attention and favor of countless people by manipulating public opinion. Many cultivators in the Three Realms were moved by his will to fight to the death to save people, so the faith and willpower he gained by deceiving the world and stealing the title became even purer!
But because the effect was so good, this hearing increased Li Wei's chances of becoming an immortal by about 80%.

The amount of wish power he generated in just over an hour was more than the total amount of wish power he had obtained in several previous instances of deception and fraud!

If his title were a piggy bank, it would already be filled with 1.5 times its volume of wish power crystals, and it has long since reached its limit!

But as the incident unfolded, Li Wei's reputation continued to grow, and the unseen forces of faith and will continued to converge on him, forming more crystallizations of will!

If this continues, this title is really going to explode!

If it explodes, not to mention whether Li Wei will be injured, once those crystallized merits and vows surge out, Li Wei will probably be directly lifted up by the vows and ascend to heaven, instantly becoming an immortal.

When all the gods gather around, how will he explain it?

There's no way to explain it!

It is important to know that ascension requires a divine position, but Li Wei has not yet obtained an official divine position from the Heavenly Court. Therefore, if he ascends, he will inevitably be integrated into the pantheon of the Life Cleansing Orthodox Church that he founded.

When the Jade Emperor sees this, he'll say: "Oh ho, you actually dare to establish an illegal pantheon in the heart of our Heavenly Court?"
Come on, let's talk!

So if Li Wei were to ascend to heaven now, it would mean certain death!

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Li Wei immediately began searching for a solution and hurriedly said to the Heavenly Dao 0.91 System:
"Could I transfer these wish-energy crystals to Xiao Zi and the others?"

【It's possible, but don't forget, Xiao Zi now has her own merits and vows. If you transfer your merits and vows to her, it will only pollute her vows!】

The relationship between Li Wei and Xiao Zi is strange—same yet different, one yet not identical.

Therefore, your wish power crystals can only be distributed among the other eight Nascent Soul cultivators. However, since they are auxiliary Nascent Soul cultivators, their cultivation levels cannot be too far behind Xiao Zi's natal Nascent Soul, otherwise it will cause instability in their cultivation realms!

[The same applies to merit and vow power! The eight of them cannot obtain significantly more vow power crystals than Xiao Zi, otherwise your nascent soul balance will be disrupted. Therefore, relying on them can only alleviate the pressure temporarily and cannot fundamentally solve the problem!]

Li Wei tried it. Sure enough, he found that Xiao Zi's side could not contain his merit and vow power crystals.

The other eight Nascent Souls could only each bear about 5%, so after the eight were divided up, the remaining wish crystals on Li Wei's body rose to about 100%, and the number was still rising!

There are just too many crystals of wish power to distribute!

"Are there any other options?"

The best way is to use this merit and vow to refine a acquired spiritual treasure, and find a way to forge the embryo of a Great Dao Divine Weapon!

The Great Dao Divine Weapon is an artifact of immortals and gods, and naturally requires the blessing of the crystallization of willpower.

However, as weapons, they only have inherent nature, not self-nature. Therefore, whether they are good or evil depends entirely on their master. It is very difficult for weapons to gain merit.

Therefore, the vast majority of divine weapons in the world can only achieve god-level power by accepting the baptism of their master's merits and vows.

But this kind of merit comes from outside.
Therefore, the more the Great Dao Divine Weapons receive the baptism of external merit, the more difficult it is for them to develop their own true nature, and they will be eternally controlled by the gods who refine them!

Li Wei shook his head upon hearing this suggestion: "To receive the baptism of merit, one first needs an acquired merit treasure! But the only acquired merit treasure I currently possess is the Jade Talisman of the Heavenly Emperor's Special Envoy, and the Supreme Heavenly Emperor is the true owner of this Jade Talisman."

“If I were to baptize it, it would surely be discovered, and then my reputation as a fraudster would be exposed.”

[Since that's the case, why don't we just refine a postnatal merit-based spiritual treasure?]

The Heavenly Dao 0.91 System said: [When you traded with the Central Continent Pharmaceutical Group, you already obtained the main materials for a Nascent Soul Divine Armor. If you find a suitable master to refine it, there is a chance to create a Spiritual Treasure Embryo.]

The so-called acquired merit treasures are actually just treasures in the process of transcending the mundane, just like those of Nascent Soul cultivators.

When a spiritual artifact reaches the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, and is then baptized with divine blood, vows, and laws, it can become an acquired merit-based spiritual treasure.

After being tempered to its limit, it can be further refined and sharpened using the Ascension Tribulation, thus advancing to become a Great Dao Divine Weapon.

"It would take at least several years, or even decades, to forge a Nascent Soul level spiritual weapon. My title simply can't handle that!"

If it weren't for the fact that forging magical artifacts takes too long and requires a high level of skill from the forger, Li Wei would have started forging them long ago. Why would he have to wait so long?
Ordinary casting naturally takes years and months, but if it's celestial casting, it's a different story!

The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system proudly shook its panel, displaying the newly updated Artifact Shop feature to Li Wei.

There are two options:

1: You can choose to spend spirit stones or cash to directly purchase spirit weapons and divine artifacts from the store!
2: Input the materials, and the Heavenly Dao System will tailor-make a divine artifact or an embryo of a divine artifact for you!
Li Wei asked in confusion, "If that's the case, why don't I just buy a magical artifact?"

Although I've updated the version this time, the items in the shop are still sacrificial products obtained from ancient times. They're all outdated and can no longer keep up with the advancements in the laws of the new era.

"Therefore, we must start forging the spiritual artifact from scratch to adapt it to the new law environment! And my forging ability has a surprise in store!" The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system said, adding the words "(You can speed up the forging process by recharging)" to option two in the artifact shop!
Good guy!
How is this different from the Void Card Printing technique used in the Yu-Gi-Oh! game next door?
These words of yours are obviously newly added; it feels like the ink hasn't even dried yet. Why don't you add an effect that increases attributes for more money?
Seemingly sensing Li Wei's thoughts, the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system actually added the words "(The more you recharge, the stronger the spirit weapon's effect attributes)" after option two.

【Master, this is all I can do to help you.】

Li Wei:
After the Heavenly Dao System was upgraded, there were even more vulnerabilities, and each time it could manipulate the system's functions in subtle ways, which was tantamount to actively developing vulnerabilities.

This is absolutely fantastic!!!
"Then do it!"

Li Wei immediately started contacting Xiao Zi.
Just when Xiao Zi thought her stinky master was about to ask for money again, she heard him say, "Quickly, find a way to get another loan!"

Xiao Zi felt a sense of relief: "Okay!"

Given Li Wei's current status and assets, getting a loan would be incredibly easy for him.

So Xiao Zi only let out a little hint, and she got a loan of 100 billion in the dark world. The lender even promised to feed her if it wasn't enough!

"Enough, enough, enough! As long as you sign the loan agreement, we'll be friends."

The lender was completely baffled when they received the contract. They had to curse you before even lending you the money. Isn't something wrong with that?
However, the celestial planet is never short of eccentrics, so maybe this is just Li Wei's own personal little quirk?
So they didn't say much, signed the loan contract on the spot, and gave Li Wei a loan curse.

Having already experienced the curse of a five trillion-level loan, Li Wei easily withstood this small one-hundred-billion-level curse and immediately began forging a divine artifact after receiving the money.

In the short time he borrowed the money, his merit and vow power crystals increased to over 120%. If he didn't hurry up and refine his weapon, then there would be a big problem.

Click!

Li Wei took out a huge box from his system backpack, which contained a set of top-grade materials for refining lightning-attribute Nascent Soul Divine Armor.

The main material is ancient lightning-struck wood, and the auxiliary materials include lightning-purified sand, lightning slurry, lightning-refined gold, and lightning-treasure diamonds. This material alone is worth more than 150 billion.

But it's only a little over 15 billion.

What was once an unattainable number for Li Wei is now nothing special, so he couldn't help but say, "How about we ask the Dark Web Master to help us buy some more precious materials?"

[No need! Ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood is already a top-tier material in the mortal realm, more than enough to refine mortal-level spiritual treasures! Other better materials are only celestial materials; even if we bought them, it would be a waste. It's better to wait until we've refined a Great Dao Divine Weapon!]

Weapons of war are always the most advanced technology in any era, so a cultivator like Li Wei, who came from a poor background, had never been exposed to weapon crafting, nor could he have been exposed to it.

Therefore, he had no choice but to believe in the Heavenly Dao System!
After activating option two in the artifact shop, a strange crack suddenly appeared in Li Wei's palm.

【Master, may I borrow the secret acupoints within your body for the purpose of refining this weapon?】

“No problem, I’d also like to observe the process of refining a postnatal merit treasure.”

After obtaining permission, the Heavenly Dao 0.91 system controlled the crack to emit a baptism, which quickly swallowed up the ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood and all the auxiliary materials.

However, these materials did not enter Li Wei's flesh and blood, but instead entered the Shaoshang acupoint in his palm, and then entered Li Wei's meridians throughout his body along the Taifei Yin Meridian!
The acupoints of the human body are like the acupoints of the entire celestial sphere! The meridians of the human body are like the meridians of the entire celestial sphere!
Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, possessing the most essential secrets of the universe.

Therefore, when the Heavenly Dao 0.91 controlled these materials to circulate within Li Wei's body, it was constantly circulating the secrets of the Heavenly Cycle, spontaneously drawing upon the power of the laws of heaven and earth.

The final achievement was this Lesser Heavenly Forging Method.

The methods of Heavenly Forging also have different levels!

The Great Heaven Forge uses heaven and earth as its furnace and all things in heaven and earth as its fuel. Its momentum is immense during the gestation period, and when it is completed, it will create extraordinary phenomena in heaven and earth, so it is impossible to hide it.

The Xiaotian Forging method uses the human body as a furnace, acupoints as stars, and meridians as the Daoist principles. Although the resulting artifacts are relatively weak, they are extremely secretive, making it the most suitable for Li Wei's current situation.

[Master, you can start topping up now!]

Li Wei then injected 10 billion yuan in cash into the system through Xiao Zi.

Boom!
Li Wei's body was instantly set ablaze!
The literal sense of it!

Unending flames suddenly erupted from his body, followed by a contraction of fire like a nuclear explosion, and finally, an even more terrifying state erupted from his body.

So those materials, like rockets launching into the sky, traveled through his body's veins and acupoints at an unimaginable speed, absorbing the secrets of the body's internal energy circulation!
Gradually,
The once indestructible ten-thousand-year-old lightning-struck wood was melted into a pool of pitch-black liquid. Materials such as lightning-purifying sand and tribulation lightning refined gold were also all ground into powder and incorporated into the liquid, revealing a profound Daoist charm!
Another 10 billion yuan in cash was invested.

The liquids that were originally fused together suddenly began to deform rapidly. They passed through Li Wei's blood vessels and meridians, just like bullets passing through a gun barrel or raw materials passing through a mold, and were reshaped by the laws within Li Wei's body.

The laws of advancement, the law of yin and yang, and the law of change during the Awakening of Insects—the laws that Li Wei mastered struck this pool of liquid like heavy hammers, forging it countless times in an instant!
The Heavenly Dao 0.91 system seems to be accelerating time within Li Wei's body, allowing the Nascent Soul-level artifact, which originally required a massive amount of time to develop, to take shape rapidly.

Li Wei spent more and more money, from 10 billion to 20 billion to 30 billion, and the spiritual embryos formed faster and faster.

at last,

When the amount burned reached approximately 700 billion, the spiritual artifact embryo within Li Wei's body finally took shape!

However, he did not take it out immediately. Instead, he continued to spend money, spending nearly 500 billion more, before pushing it to the limit of a Nascent Soul stage spiritual artifact, forming a perfect embryo of an acquired merit spiritual treasure!

"It's done!"

Li Wei looked at his rapidly growing crystallization of merit and vows, and then at this acquired treasure of merit that radiated a captivating light.

With a determined effort!
He actually poured about 90% of his willpower crystals into this magical artifact!

So many crystallized wishes are almost enough to allow someone to ascend to immortality!
Now all of it is being used to nurture this acquired merit treasure, making its potential far beyond imagination. It was born as a top-grade acquired merit treasure, and it is only one step away from becoming a divine weapon of the Great Dao!
"Is this my acquired merit treasure?"

Li Wei was dazzled by the string of unparalleled terms in front of him.
