Chapter 1554: Merit Qi

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

After Tian Shu and Tian Miao blew themselves up, the gold energies and water energies they formed were collected by Ling Xiu, who turned them into a cluster of black mist and golden mist.

It was very difficult for golden spirits and water spirits to be born, and even more so for them to become saint kings.

Take Tian Miao as an example. She was originally a trace of origin Qi of water spirits under a saint lake. After hundreds of years of absorbing spiritual Qi and essences from the sun and moon, she gained a bit of intelligence.

After being instructed by a great being, she started to refine.

Only after countless years of refining was she able to form a human body, after which her refining speed got faster.

Because of all these years of refining, the origin Qi of water spirits that formed her body was a true treasure among the Five Elements Valuables.

Ling Xiu looked to Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu and said, “Water spirits origin and golden spirits origin with such high purity are the best for you to improve your body constitution.”

Those two clusters of light mist were definitely incredible given the comments from a mind power supreme saint.

Zhang Ruochen held his fist to show his respect for the supreme saint, then he said, “Please give both the origins to Palace Leader Lin. I’ve already gotten Five Elements Chaotic Body, so there’s no need for Five Elements Valuables to refine my body.”

Ling Feiyu and Zhang Ruochen followed the same path on body refinement.

She refined ‘Four Spirit Treasured Body,’ which was slightly weaker than ‘Five Elements Chaotic Body.’

The five Elements were all interconnected. Gold, wood, water, fire and gold formed a circle, and they could be transformed into each other.

Monks who had Four Spirit Treasured Body could get closer to having Five Elements Chaotic Body if they absorbed enough Five Elements Valuables, and at some point, they could even turn their bodies into Pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body.

Ling Xiu said, “Feiyu’s Four Spirit Treasured Body can’t absorb that much of the water spirits origin and golden spirits origin, and besides, she needs your help to refine Pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body.”

Ling Feiyu stood aside, looking kind of discontent with Zhang Ruochen. “Five Elements Chaotic Body isn’t that amazing, is it?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t want to set himself against Ling Feiyu. He smiled. “Then thank you for your help. I’ll definitely do my best to help Palace Leader Ling to refine Pseudo Five Elements Chaotic Body.”

Ling Xiu took a look at Zhang Ruochen and smiled. “Her highness has sent some godly blood to me. I can merge the blood with the origins so that you can absorb the godly blood when refining those two origins, which can greatly improve your body constitution.”

Zhang Ruochen felt repulsed instinctively knowing he needed to drink the godly blood of Chi Yao.

At the same time, he noticed that Ling Feiyu was staring at him.

She looked very sharp.

Zhang Ruochen didn’t try to dodge her. Instead, he looked back at her.

They didn’t talk at all, but Zhang Ruochen understood that Ling Feiyu wanted him to face the past bravely instead of running away from it.

Gradually, Zhang Ruochen felt less repulsed and said, “I’m curious. Now that Kunlun’s Field is ranked twenty-seven hundred and forty-fourth, your guys can totally leave Shatuo Heaven Domain and head to a better one. Why haven’t you left yet?”

Liku Sacred Domain was beside Red Dragon Sacred Domain, so Zhang Ruochen knew that Ling Xiu and Moon Worship Demonic Sect hadn’t left Liku Sacred Domain yet.

Ling Xiu sighed and said, “Heaven World is a ruthless place. Kunlun’s Field only gained its status in Shatuo Heaven Domain because the other six fields in the domain are relatively weak, so Kunlun’s Field can still manage to fight back even though they’re trying to suppress us.

“If we head to the domain that has a better refining environment, the fields there will definitely be much stronger, so perhaps Kunlun’s Field doesn’t even have a place to survive.”

Zhang Ruochen suddenly recalled what the Moon Goddess told him, that Guanghan Field was enslaved and exploited in those top-tier domains, and that was why it’d fallen so far.

If the supreme saints from Guanghan Field were smart enough to move to Shatuo Heavenly Domain, it wouldn’t get so weak now.

Certainly, nobody would be willing to move to a barren place after staying in an abundant environment for too long.

Zhang Ruochen admired Chi Yao for one thing: that she was always able to make the most rational and correct decision. No external factors could interfere with her decision.

Zhang Ruochen said, “How much godly blood are going to use? I’ll pay double the saint stones for it.”

Ling Xiu knew Zhang Ruochen’s history, so he only nodded without saying a word.

And then, Zhang Ruochen walked to Wang Xu.

There was a hole in Wang Xu’s head, and half his head was covered by blood. He was lying on the ground still, yet Zhang Ruochen could still feel the life ripples in his body.

Zhang Ruochen was curious. “Incredible. What kind of life form is he?”

“Danger.”

Ling Xiu raised his eyebrows, and his mind power gushed out of his body, forming an energy whirlpool that covered Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu, bringing them off the ground.

Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu didn’t know what had happened and they were in shock.

Boom!

An area of five hundred square miles, centered on Wang Xu, started to sink, leaving an abyss.

“Who are you?”

Ling Xiu suddenly became ferocious. He clenched his fist, and all the saint Qi in Liku Sacred Domain was mobilized as if tens of thousands of Qi Dragons had gathered above his head. And then, they hit toward the bottom of the abyss.

A trace of light flew out of the pit, destroying all the Qi Dragons, including the winds in the sky.

“It’s not easy refining your mind power. Cherish your life, as you’re a supreme saint, and don’t mess with those you can’t fight against, otherwise, your body and soul will both be annihilated.”

An overbearing sound came from afar, echoing around the ears of Zhang Ruochen and the others.

Ling Feiyu said coldly, “How aggressive.”

“Indeed.”

Zhang Ruochen also looked irritated.

As for Ling Xiu, he knew that the being who saved Wang Xu had better cultivation, as he had already left Liku Sacred Domain, together with his forces.

He came and left without a trace.

However, Ling Xiu wasn’t scared at all. He said, “That’s the reason you two need to practice harder and try to become supreme saints as soon as possible. Once you’ve become supreme saints, you’ll definitely be the great beings among supreme saints given your talents, and you can roam Heaven World at ease.”

Both Zhang Ruochen and Ling Feiyu knew the importance of power, especially in Heaven World.

…

Moon Worship Demonic Sect had been split completely. Some followed Ling Xiu while the others followed Shi Qianjue.

Ling Xiu was staying in the largest sacred land of Liku Sacred Domain, which was called Cloud Lake Sacred Land. He established the headquarters of Moon Worship Demonic Sect in Heaven World there. Zhang Ruochen and the others didn’t hurry their way, instead, they chose to stay in Cloud Lake Sacred Land for recovery.

Ling Xi took out the golden spirits origin and the water spirits origin and entered a demonic palace. He asked Zhang Ruochen to wait for him for two days.

Zhang Ruochen sat down beside Cloud Lake, swallowed the healing pill, and took out the Merits Godly Stamp and started to study it.

The jade covering the Merits Godly Stamp was a saint jade made of solid materials. The saint jade itself wasn’t special, however, the five-colored mist inside the saint jade looked mysterious. Zhang Ruochen tried to use his mind power to inspect it, yet he couldn’t figure out what it was.

Whoosh!

The purple shadow beside Zhang Ruochen blinked, and it formed a beautiful and slender woman who was the palace leader of Saintess Palace of Moon Worship Demonic Sect, Ling Feiyu.

Ling Feiyu could tell that Zhang Ruochen was confused, so she explained, “That’s Merit Qi.”

“Merit Qi?” Zhang Ruochen was still confused.

“The Gods from Heaven World established Merits Godly Palace because they want to collect the Merit Qi produced by the creatures in the universe. Merit Qi can be used to make all sorts of mysterious valuables, and some of the valuables can improve monks’ cultivation, body constitution, intelligence, and even more,” Ling Feiyu said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “They can improve body constitution and cultivation…then perhaps many monks from a large field will crave them. How can they guarantee that the distribution is fair?”

“Merits Battle!”

Ling Feiyu said, “Heaven World encourage the monks from all the fields to fight against those from Hell World, and the number of merit valuables will be distributed based on their battle achievements. Those who kill more monks from Hell World can get more merits, and thus more merit valuables, which is why it’s called a merits battle.”

And then, Ling Feiyu took out a sparkling bottle which was holding colorful liquids. “Look, this is the Merits Sword-Washing Marrow that Merits Godly Palace gave me, which can purify the sword soul I refine, improving my sword way attainment.”

Zhang Ruochen heard a word he’d never before. “Sword soul? What’s a sword soul?”
