Qin Yun was shocked. Having accumulated so much merit through all the opportunities he encountered, he was still short of twenty percent? How was he to amass that?
"Still short by twenty percent?" Numinous Treasure frowned slightly.
"It's already very remarkable that Disciple-Nephew Qin was able to amass eighty percent of a Merit Cardinal treasure," Nüwa said. "Since Pangu split the heaven from earth, only a handful of Merit Cardinal treasures have been produced, much fewer than Connate Cardinal treasures."
Connate Cardinal treasures were born out of the Chaos or refined by expending rare Connate Wonders. An example was the Empyrean Seal. Although Connate Cardinal treasures were rare to the point of perfected Great Dao experts not having one, Heavenly Dao realm experts typically would have a few on hand. They would bestow them to their disciples. For instance, the Heavenly Lord of Numinous Treasure had a quite a number of Connate Cardinal treasures.
