That’s right, he had concealed some things.

In fact, he had seen something, although it wasn’t much, it certainly wasn’t the case that he had seen nothing at all.

Although he had not seen the senior before him, he had seen a cluster of golden light within the Mirror of Retrospection.

That cluster of golden light was not unfamiliar to him, because the Mirror of Retrospection he initially acquired also contained a similar product.

However, it was much less, merely a thread of golden light.

Even the reason he was able to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch with a single attribute ordinary Spiritual Root had a lot to do with that thread of golden light.

After a moment, he gave a bitter smile, then took a step forward.

When had he become so greedy?

Could it be that the progress over the years had somewhat blinded him?

The heart must not swell with pride, and those who should not be provoked absolutely must not be provoked; these were Ellington Samuel’s cultivation principles.

Otherwise, given his aptitude, he would have fallen early on the path of cultivation and certainly would not have reached the Realm he had today.

Most of those of his generation with better aptitude had already died.

Even a Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivator had perished.

And the most important reason he had survived until now was his cultivation principles.

To survive, keep surviving, and still survive.

Shaking his head, Ellington Samuel stopped pondering and followed Christopher Morgan to leave this place.

The news of Milton Cheney’s acquisition of a hundred thousand years’ worth of Blazing Flame Crystal Stones was not just known to the True Sect of Jade Cauldron.

Thus, it drew quite a commotion.

But after these people were unable to find Milton Cheney, they all gave up as well.

……

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, three years went by.

Lake Peak.

Milton Cheney sat cross-legged in a cave mansion.

This place was also a cave mansion established on top of a fourth-grade Spiritual Vein, but it was not within the Four Nations Region.

Instead, it belonged to the true center of the Northern Thirteen Domains, controlled by the Hidden Lake Immortal Sect, the leading Immortal Door among the top ten.

In fact, the three surrounding Regions were also under the control of the Hidden Lake Immortal Sect.

After all, this was not a big secret in the Cultivation Realm.

As for why there were ten Immortal Doors yet only the Hidden Lake Immortal Sect uniquely controlled three major Realms, the reason was simple.

It was because the Hidden Lake Immortal Sect had two Deity Transformation God Monarchs.

One of them was still quite young, having lived for just under seven thousand years.

Seven thousand years might seem long for True Monarchs, but for God Monarchs, it was definitely still considered young.

After all, upon cultivating to Deity Transformation, the minimum lifespan is sixteen thousand years.

Being able to cultivate to the stage of Deity Transformation God Monarch, the Talent almost certainly couldn’t just be an Earth Spiritual Root.

At the very least, the God Monarchs of the ten Immortal Doors were all Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators, and this was no secret either.

After all, with the time they’ve lived being so very long, these facts had long since become no secret in the passage of years.

Feeling the Spiritual Power within the cave mansion, Milton Cheney was somewhat emotional.

Indeed, an Immortal Door was worthy of its name, truly wealthy and powerful.

This Celestial City’s established cave mansion areas all had fourth-grade Spiritual Veins, which suggests that perhaps there are more than one fifth-grade Spiritual Veins within the Sect.

Too domineering.

No wonder the bigwigs of the Northern Thirteen Domains looked down on the Four Nations Region.

It seemed the returns and efforts were going to be inversely related.

After all, nearly everything available in the Four Nations Region was also available in the Northern Thirteen Domains, and even things that weren’t available in the Four Nations Region could be found in the Northern Thirteen Domains.

This was perhaps the main reason the Northern Thirteen Domains looked down on the Four Nations Region.

If the Northern Thirteen Domains were compared to a grand and magnificent city, then the Four Nations region could at best be considered a well-constructed small town, completely incomparable to each other.

Especially since the Northern Thirteen Domains had twice as many Deity Transformation God Monarchs as the Four Nations Region had Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

However, at this time, what Milton Cheney was thinking about was not these things.

Milton Cheney’s face showed a strange expression, as if he thought of something interesting.

The next moment, his vision blurred, and he appeared inside his sea of consciousness.

And at the center of his sea of consciousness, there floated a dazzling brilliance.

Actually, this was something Milton Cheney only discovered after he began his closed-door cultivation six months ago.

Before that, he had not noticed the presence of other things in his sea of consciousness at all.

It was as if this cluster of golden light was part of his body.

Just like how he would not sense the existence of his cells.

This light cluster was just like this before too.

As for why Milton Cheney discovered this light cluster,

The reason was simple—he had discovered something amiss.

Half a year ago, Milton Cheney began cultivation, planning to first consume a batch of exchanged cultivation resources.

After all, he had promised to return to the True Sect after a hundred years; there was still plenty of time for him to cultivate outside.

But as soon as he began his cultivation, he noticed that something was off.

That was, his cultivation speed had suddenly become extremely fast.

During cultivation, the spiritual power insanely surged into his dantian as if gone mad.

It was as if in an instant he became the favorite of heaven and earth.

Even unwittingly, he caused quite a stir.

If one had to say, his cultivation speed had jumped to more than ten times faster than before.

Keep in mind, this was under the premise that Milton Cheney was not using any cultivation resources.

Although his cultivation speed had nearly increased tenfold, Milton Cheney did not feel any extreme joy or the like.

After all, every cause has its effect; every sacrifice has its reward.

The first thing Milton Cheney thought of was to find the reason behind it.

After all, this was a cultivation speed ten times that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root, somewhat excessively exaggerated.

Half a year went by, Milton Cheney consulted many materials and attempted numerous cultivation sessions for verification.

By now, he had almost completely understood the reason for everything.

“Who would have imagined that by a fortuitous coincidence, I actually obtained three hundred and sixty strands of Power of Merit.”

Milton Cheney felt some emotion in his heart.

He also felt somewhat mysteriously odd, knowing that this was, after all, the Power of Merit—a concept from the myths and legends of a past life.

Little did he expect that in this life he would actually obtain merit.

Half a year was enough for Milton Cheney, as a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, to gain an adequate understanding of the Power of Merit.

One could say that the Power of Merit was a buff that this world bestowed upon Milton Cheney.

By now, Milton Cheney could even be considered one of the children of this world’s destiny.

As for things like the entanglement of fates, Milton Cheney didn’t care at all.

He didn’t need to become a Transcendent in this world; whether destiny targeted him or not made no difference.

“But why would killing Old Lee grant me so much Power of Merit?”

Milton Cheney pondered in his heart.

This was the only thing he couldn’t figure out over the past half-year.

After all, even if killing an Immortal Origin master could grant merit, it shouldn’t have rewarded this much.

The more Milton Cheney understood about the Power of Merit, the clearer he became about its incredibility.

To think a minor character could provide him with three hundred and sixty strands of merit seemed far too exaggerated.

Could it be that this Old Lee was a remarkable person in the original destiny of this world, but had been prematurely terminated by him?

Milton Cheney thought to himself.

This reason actually had a great possibility.

After all, Milton Cheney was not an indigene of this world; he was but a Reincarnation.

His body might exist in the fate of this world, but his soul definitely would not be part of this world’s destined trajectory.

In other words, if he had not reincarnated into this world,

Old Lee might have truly become a significant figure or even someone the Heavenly Path dreaded.

Thus, after Milton Cheney killed him, he obtained such a massive wave of Power of Merit.

“This luck, no one has surpassed.”

“I originally thought the Blazing Flame Crystal was the biggest loophole I found; I never expected Old Lee to be the real major leak.”

Milton Cheney chuckled to himself.

Three hundred and sixty strands of Power of Merit; this was already enough for him to cultivate to the Realm of a Unification Dao Monarch.

And yet, the wondrous uses of the Power of Merit far exceeded that alone.

Power of Merit, intertwined with fate.

It could be said that as long as Milton Cheney wished, he could indeed expend Power of Merit to accomplish certain not-too-excessive desires.

Which is to say,

If Milton Cheney encountered a disaster that could wipe him out, he could consume Power of Merit to overcome the crisis.

If he needed cultivation resources, he could consume Power of Merit to also gain fortuitous opportunities.

Even if he needed a romantic partner, he could spend Power of Merit to have a stroke of romantic fortune.

And all of this would appear perfectly normal after expending Power of Merit, as if arranged by fate itself.

Lest one forgets, the greatest function of Power of Merit lies in altering destiny.

What you think of as destiny, could perhaps be a fate manifested by someone else’s expenditure of Power of Merit, who knows?
