Chapter 409: Chapter 325: Game Update – The Merit Section, Yang Family Initiates the Strongest Ancestor Worship!_2
The true treasures… are still in Li Yao’s hands.
[Grade: Low Grade Treasure (upgradable)]
[Before the Merit Tower, vow vast wishes, the Immortal Clan unite in benevolence. Acts of kindness spread blessings far, securing family fortunes safe through ages.]
[This is a Merit Magic Treasure, capable of binding Cultivators as family members, whose virtuous deeds can accumulate the family’s Qi Fortune, thus granting all family members Merit protection and smoothing the path of Immortal Cultivation.]
[Merit Enlightenment: When the Merit is positive, all bound family Cultivators are enlightened by Merit Light, enhancing Comprehension and Cultivation speed, the deeper the Merit, the more obvious the effects.]
[This tower’s light is dim due to a lack of Merit, many abilities cannot be activated…]
[Growth progress: 0/300 Merit]
“Brother Yang, this item is related to the family’s Qi Fortune. Jiang Xiaobai said it is a family treasure, but it has been dormant for many years with no Merit Light left, and it must start accumulating from scratch, slowly advancing from a Low Grade Treasure, and only after reaching a higher rank can it demonstrate its full power,”
Li Yao gave a brief introduction, but his description was clearly not as comprehensive as the ‘Treasure Card’ shown by the elder.
After reading, Yang Fu took a sharp breath.
‘What a treasure! A growing treasure, and one of a kind… a Merit-type treasure.’
“Brother Li, this item is quite valuable, are you really going to gift it to me? Your Immortal Clan…”
Li Yao had also just established his own Immortal Clan, and this [Little Merit Tower] would also greatly benefit him. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs n0velfire.net

“These are the treasures we four have chosen for Brother Li, please do not decline, otherwise we… will feel uneasy.”
“It must have cost a lot of gemstones.”
“After a discount… 100 gemstones, each of us four contributed 25 gemstones, it’s not much of a burden, compared to what Brother Yang has offered us… it’s nothing.”
“Then… thank you, four junior brothers!”
As Yang Fu was a Cultivator in the Golden Core Stage, calling these junior Cultivators without a Golden Core, regardless of their age, “junior brother” was entirely correct.
“Brother Yang, you’re too kind!”
Although buying this item pained them greatly, they ultimately bit the bullet and exchanged it, after all, it was Li Yao’s initial request.
Yang Fu received it and grew fonder the more he looked at it.
Although it was currently only a Low Grade Treasure, it was capable of advancing!
The moment Yang Fu took it, Yang Genshuo’s screen popped up a prompt:
[Congratulations! Your family has obtained the first ‘Merit’ type Magic Treasure, now you can view ‘Family Merit’.]
At this moment, a golden tower-shaped talisman appeared at the top of the screen.
[Yang Family 1 Merit: 3551]
[Yang Family 2 Merit: 0]
“Eh? Why are there two Merits?”
Yang Genshuo clicked into [Yang Family 1], and his view shifted directly to Yang Shi in the Danai Dynasty, who was emanating golden light, like a holy figure!
[Cleansing the Demon Sect, aiding thousands of cultivators on their Immortal Cultivation Path, expanding territories, enhancing the Dynasty’s Qi Fortune…]
These actions were all great merits of Yang Shi.
The other Yang Family members also shone with Merit Light, clearly having done many good deeds.
But there was one person who had no Merit Golden Light, just a wisp of dark aura…
“Why is Little Jian’s personal merit negative?”
Upon checking, there was only one explanation.
[Addicted to slaying Demon Beasts…]
“This… the Martial Cultivation Sect led by Yang Fujian seems to have overdone the slaying of Demon Beasts. Although there were contributions to the Dynasty, it wasn’t enough to offset their killings, so it’s negative. Fortunately, it’s only minus 15 points, should be able to maintain balance.”
And [Yang Family 2] obviously referred to Yang Fu’s branch of the Yang Family.
“The game also defaults to considering the Yang Family as being in a split state.”
“But why is it 0 on Yang Fu’s side? That’s strange.”
After a thorough examination, Yang Genshuo finally understood the reason.
“Sigh… the annihilation of an entire clan indeed greatly reduces Merit.”
“And to be fair, Yang Fu’s side really didn’t deliberately do any good deeds. Yang Fushuo developed a few new Elixirs, which helped quite a few Cultivators, earning some Merit, but it was just negated by this massacre.”
“I don’t really agree with this… Jin Family provoked us first; if we didn’t act, they would have annihilated us. Taking them down still deducts from our family’s Merit! It’s infuriating!”
At this moment, a phrase appeared on the screen.
[In the ways of the Great Dao, reserve one line of hope in all things, to showcase the virtue of a Merit family.]
After pondering for a while and reviewing how the Merit was deducted, Yang Genshuo probably understood the situation.
“Is it about not exterminating everything… sparing the uninvolved, especially servants and the like, and the enslaved Spirit Beasts, leaving them a way out is also the right thing to do.”
Yang Fu acted too ruthlessly, wiping them out completely. The Jin Family, anyone who could breathe… all eliminated.”
“The measures were harsh… but it’s the safest, Yang Family isn’t composed of saints, having struggled back from the brink of annihilation, any small mistake could have been lethal, it’s frightening.”
Back then, Yang Shi retained a hint of benevolence, sparing a Xiang Family child who didn’t know better, while Jiang Xiaobai turned around and let a beggar end the child’s life…
She witnessed the rise of a vengeful Yang Shi, scared of another Yang Shi emerging…
“This requirement is too moral, I can’t do it.”
The next moment, another line of text appeared on the screen.
[If a man does not seek his own interest, heaven and earth will also perish. Self-interest first is the king’s way, ruthless decisions showcase edge. No retreat step by step, I reign supreme as king.]
After the two phrases floated out, a game notification came through.
[The ‘Blessing’ function has been updated.]
[In addition to the basic blessings, you will now receive different blessings based on the current ‘Merit Points’ of your family, the higher the Merit, the more powerful the blessings, and upon reaching a certain degree of Merit, you can even unlock ‘Miracles’.]
