Chapter 323: Times have changed, and Qinglian Daojun explains his doubts (please subscribe)
The moment he heard this, Chen Mu's hand holding the book tightened slightly.
His expression didn't change much, but there was just the right amount of doubt in his expression.
"Become an immortal through meritorious deeds? Could you please explain me, Lord Dao?"
Chen Mu asked curiously.
Qinglian Daojun didn't think anything else, thinking that Chen Mu was just curious.
Little did he know that Chen Mu's heart at this time was far from the calm on the surface.

Although this was the first time he heard of meritorious deeds, it was not the first time he understood the word merits.
A large part of the reason why he was able to practice to the current level of Hedao was because of the power of chance merit he gained while still in Nascent Soul.
Chen Mu guessed that meritorious deeds had a lot to do with the power of meritorious deeds.
However, no matter how strange his heart was, Chen Mu did not show the slightest abnormality on his face.
"It doesn't hurt to explain something to my little friend."
Qinglian Daojun spoke happily and was in a very good mood.
After countless years of reincarnation, it was finally time to become an immortal, so he was in a very wonderful mood at this time.
He also didn't expect that none of the previous plans would be of use. Instead, a chance in this life allowed him to have a glimpse of the realm of immortals.
Chen Mu sat up slightly, put away the smile on his face, and appeared to be listening carefully.
"To become an immortal through meritorious deeds, you don't need to accumulate mana, nor do you need to spend a long time."
"I only learned about this method of becoming an immortal in this life. When I first learned about it, I was shocked. I never thought that becoming an immortal would be so simple."
Daojun Qinglian spoke slowly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
"I can't tell you what it takes to become an immortal through merit, because I can't tell you the specifics."
"But one thing I can tell you is that the world of immortality, which has been peaceful for countless billions of years, is about to undergo a big change."
"In the past, those who practiced immortality needed to 'fight' to reach the realm of spiritual transformation, but after cultivating to the level of harmony, they needed to 'enlighten' even more."
"But this law may not exist in the world of immortal cultivation in the future. Immortal cultivators who have reached the realm of harmony will still have to 'fight'! They may even fight harder!"
Taojun Qinglian finished the last sentence in an inexplicable tone, and then looked at Chen Mu with a somewhat complicated expression.
In fact, in his eyes, Chen Mu was born in the wrong era.
If Chen Mu had been reincarnated for ten thousand years, he might have become an immortal at this time, and then he would not have to wade into the muddy waters of the world of immortality.
But now, it's too late.
In the eyes of Qinglian Daojun at this time, even if Chen Mu reached the realm of Hedao in his first life, it would still be very difficult to become an immortal in subsequent reincarnations.
Taojun Qinglian already understood why, with Chen Mu's monstrous talent, the Holy Lands of Reincarnation did not come to visit him.
The reason is simple, times have changed!
But he couldn't say.
For him, who has reaped the dividends of the times and is about to become the first person in the world of immortality to become an immortal through meritorious deeds, these are no secrets.
But for Chen Mu, these are not things he can know.
Therefore, Lord Qinglian could say a few non-core things for Chen Mu to guess, but he could not say it explicitly.
After hearing Daojun Qinglian's words, Chen Mu's thoughts began to flow in his mind.
But on the surface, he frowned slightly.
Because what Qinglian Daojun said is very strange, yes, it is very strange.
Chen Mu could tell that Qinglian Daojun seemed to be mentioning something to him in his words, but what he said was a little unclear.
Even Chen Mu sounded confused.
"Can't Lord Dao explain it directly?"
Chen Mu asked softly.
Sure enough, it was just as he imagined.
After Qinglian Daojun heard what he said, he shook his head and did not say more.
Seeing this scene, Chen Mu still didn't understand that Daojun Qinglian definitely knew something, but it seemed that he was keeping it secret so he didn't tell him.
I just don't know if I don't want to tell him? Still can't tell him?
At this moment, Chen Mu had many thoughts in his mind.
He was wondering if there was a way to get Daojun Qinglian to tell him more.
Chen Mu's fingers tapped lightly on the book in his hand, not hiding that he was thinking at this time.
Qinglian Daojun also noticed this scene, but he didn't say much. He just sat down cross-legged in the air, as if waiting for Chen Mu to think.
After a while, Chen Mu's brows softened slightly.
The fingers tapping the book also stopped.
At this moment, Chen Mu seemed to have decided something.
The next moment, Chen Mu spoke softly:
"When Daojun said that one can become an immortal through merit, is it because of the power of merit that one can become an immortal?"
"Master Dao said that the realm of harmony must also be 'struggled', but what is 'struggled' with is the power of merit?"
His voice was very soft, but the words he spoke made Qinglian Daojun's expression change.
In fact, when Chen Mu said these words, he was already prepared in his heart.
He indeed stated his suspicion directly.
The reason is naturally because Chen Mu is fearless at this time.
That's right, he's not afraid, so he naturally dares to say it.
After living for tens of millions of years, I no longer have any regrets about being reincarnated as Chen Mu this time, so naturally there is nothing I dare not ask.
Now that Chen Mu saw Taojun Qinglian's expression, how could he not understand that his guess was correct.
"How do you know this?"
Qinglian Daojun's expression only changed for a moment, and the next moment his expression returned to normal again.
But there was no trace of smile on his face at this time.
There was also an inexplicable meaning in his eyes when he looked at Chen Mu.
There is a trace of suspicion and a trace of confusion.
"Master Dao, do you know why I was able to practice to this level in my first life?"
"You must know that when I reached the Great Perfection of Divine Transformation, I was only over 37,000 years old."
Chen Mu did not take the initiative to answer Daojun Qinglian's question, but instead asked a question.
Now that Chen Mu had said it, he had no intention of hiding it.
By now, the secret about the power of merit is of least value to him.
After all, his lifespan is coming to an end, and this reincarnation simulation is coming to an end.
He has also reached the limit of what he can practice in this world.
More importantly, his power of merit has been used up and will not be taken away by others, so Chen Mu naturally has nothing to be afraid of.
It would be better to take this opportunity to exchange some information with Daojun Qinglian based on what he knows.
Qinglian Daojun also heard the meaning of Chen Mu's rhetorical question, and his expression was somewhat enlightened.
"It turns out that you have gained the power of merit. No wonder your cultivation path can be so smooth. I thought you were really gifted as a monster throughout the past and present."
When you reach the realm of Qinglian Daojun, you can think about everything in an instant.
What's more, Chen Mu has already made it so clear. It would be strange if he couldn't understand it again.
"It turns out that you are the first beneficiary of this great change in the world of immortality."
"Millions of years ago, that was correct."
"It's just a pity that you should have obtained the power of merit when you were weak. If you and I also received the power of merit after joining the Tao, there might be a chance of becoming an immortal."
Daojun Qinglian said, with a hint of pity in his tone.
Chen Mu naturally heard the emotion in Qinglian Daojun's words.
After the Qinglian Taoist learned that he had obtained the power of merit, he did not seem to have any intention of taking it by force.
On the contrary, I felt sorry for him.
This already shows that the power of merit obtained by Qinglian Daojun is definitely more than he can imagine. It is estimated that the merit will be enough to become an immortal.
But Chen Mu had no regrets.
After all, if he does not have the help of the power of merit, it is still a question whether he can join the Tao, let alone obtain the power of merit after joining the Tao. That is purely wishful thinking.
What's more, even if he gains the power of merit after joining the Dao, what can he do? The state of joining the Dao is already the limit of his body.
Chen Muke didn't think he could break the limit of the simulator with the power of merit.
If it is really that simple, then wouldn't it mean that the person who represents the so-called power of merit in this world is higher than the simulator?
Chen Mu thought that was impossible.
Not to mention the power of merit in this world, even this world, or even this universe, may not be able to compare with his simulator plug-in.
"Master Dao, I have been honest with you. I hope Master Dao can tell me more."
"I don't expect to go any further, I just hope to know more and not be kept in the dark."
Chen Mu said seriously.
This is indeed what he has in mind.
If you don't know these secrets at this time, it will be difficult to know them even if you reincarnate in this world again.
This time is the best opportunity.
Even if you choose to reincarnate into this world every time in future reincarnation simulations, there may not be any reincarnation simulation that can surpass this one.
Upon hearing Chen Mu's words, Qinglian Daojun did not reply immediately.
Instead, he closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about the pros and cons.
In other words, he was thinking about whether there was any point in telling Chen Mu this.
After all, sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.
Chen Mu, who saw this scene, did not forcefully ask. He gently stroked the cover of the ancient book in his hand and waited silently.
In fact, even if Qinglian Daojun still chose not to say anything in the end, Chen Mu would only be a little disappointed at most.
He doesn't have to know either.
He just became curious at this time.
Because he is not sure whether he will choose to be reincarnated and simulated into this world again.
So knowing more is always beneficial.
After a moment, Qinglian Daojun opened his eyes and seemed to have made a decision.
"That's all. In fact, it doesn't matter if I tell you. After all, you have to know. But knowing in advance may not necessarily be a good thing for you in the tens of millions of years to come."
"Since you already know the power of merit, there is no need for me to repeat the basic talk of merit."
"You are right in your guess. Merit to become an immortal does depend on the power of merit, but it is not just the power of merit. In other words, the power of merit is the most important requirement, but it is not the only one."
"To become an immortal through merit, you need to gather three hundred and sixty threads each of the 'Power of Merit', 'Power of Luck', 'Power of Destiny', and 'Power of the World' to create an immortal body of merit and conquer the path of immortality."
"But you still guessed a little bit wrong."
"Then what I mean by 'struggle' is not the power of merit."
"Of the four powers that create the Immortal Body of Merit, only the power of merit is given by heaven and cannot be contested."
"The struggle I'm talking about is fighting for luck, destiny, and the world, but there is no competition for merit, because merit cannot be competed."
"Do you know why I said it would do you no good to tell you this?"
Having said this, Taojun Qinglian paused and looked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu listened attentively, and when he saw Taoist Qinglian stopped speaking to ask him, he was slightly startled and shook his head slightly.
He really didn't know. Although he had some guesses in his mind, they were just guesses.
Since he couldn't be sure, there was no need for him to forcefully say it.
"The reason is very simple, that is, the power of luck, the power of destiny and the power of the world will have the opportunity to compete for you in the next tens of millions of years."
"But the power of merit alone is definitely not enough for you."
"So you have no hope of becoming an immortal in this life."
"But this life happens to be the best opportunity. When you wait for your next reincarnation to awaken your memory, you will no longer have such an opportunity."
"And what I said, even if your memory can be awakened in a certain reincarnation in the future, this memory will inevitably be blurred by the immortal way."
"How does it feel, to have hope and then despair."
Daojun Qinglian spoke softly, with a hint of complexity in his tone.
After hearing this, Chen Mu suddenly felt enlightened.
I see.
However, he did not have any so-called despair, after all, Qinglian Daojun did not know his situation.
After Chen Mu heard this, he just suddenly realized it. As for despair, there was no such thing.
Qinglian Daojun would think that after knowing this news, his longevity would be ruined, but the fact is that Chen Mu felt nothing at all.
And his lifespan is not tens of millions of years, he can only live a million years at most.
Of course, Chen Mu would not take the initiative to say this.
Chen Mu's face was also very calm. He could actually pretend to be lost, but Chen Mu didn't think it was necessary.
"Fellow Taoist doesn't seem to be desperate after hearing this?"
Qinglian Daojun was a little surprised when he saw that Chen Mu's expression did not look strange at all, nor did he seem to be faking it.
Hearing this, Chen Mu smiled lightly.
"I have been very lucky to have practiced so far, so naturally I don't expect anything more."
"The reason why I asked you this is actually, as I said, just to satisfy some curiosity so as not to be kept in the dark, that's all."
"Fellow Taoist's state of mind is indeed extraordinary!"
Qinglian Daojun said with some emotion.
He has lived for so many reincarnations, and his state of mind is actually worse than that of a child who has been reincarnated for one lifetime.
If he knew this, he would definitely get into trouble in the years to come, and it might even be possible for him to become possessed.
Hearing this, Chen Mu just smiled and said nothing more.
Is he in an extraordinary state of mind?
He just didn't care, that's all.
