After the banquet, Su Qingling took Zhang Ruochen to the Tong Yu Sacred Domain’s Hidden Hundred~Million#^^Small!said, and from the top of the bookshelf, she took down a book and placed it into Zhang Ruochen’s hands.
“The Hell Rakshasa Clan.”
“The Merit War and Merit Value.”?
……
Su Qingling, wearing a turquoise-coloured long slimming coat with a faint fragrance emanating from her body, stood at the bottom of the bookshelf and clapped her palms as her starry eyes gazed at Zhang Ruochen, saying, “All the questions you want to know are inside these books.”
“The Rakshasa Clan, is one of the lower three clans of the Hell Realm, as long as they keep swallowing the flesh and blood of living beings, their cultivation will become stronger and stronger, among them, human flesh and blood is again the most delicious to them.”
“The men of the Rakshasa Clan are extremely ugly, but they are incredibly powerful, capable of moving mountains and hills. The women of the Rakshasa Clan, on the other hand, are as beautiful as heavenly fairies, and if one is not careful, the cultivator will be mesmerised by them and end up dying.”
With Zhang Ruochen’s current mental strength, the hundred~million\small!Speaking at an extremely fast pace, in a matter of moments, he had finished reading all of the Hell Rakshasa Clan.
Afterwards, Zhang Ruochen picked up the “Merit Battle and Merit Value” and started flipping through it.
The battle between the Heavenly Court Realm and the Hell Realm was known as the “Merit War”.
The more Hell Realm cultivators one killed, the higher the merit value of the cultivator and the Great World.
The higher the Great World’s merit value, the higher the ranking on the Ten Thousand Realms Merit List, the higher the ranking, the higher the status of a mortal in the Celestial Court Realm, and moreover, it didn’t have to become a battleground for the battle with the Hell Realm.
Su Qingling stood at the side and said, “A great world being opened up and becoming a battlefield will generally be divided into two stages.”
“For example, after the Ancestral Spirit Realm is chosen as a battlefield, the first stage, is known as the initial battlefield stage.”
“During this stage, the Great Saint level powerhouses from both sides are fighting outside the domain. The armies with Saint Kings as theirs, on the other hand, were conquering the interior of the great world.”
“The Hell Realm’s Rakshasa armies are there to seize the resources of the Ancestral Spirit Realm and devour the flesh and blood of living beings to make themselves stronger.”?
“The armies of the Celestial Realm, on the other hand, are trying to kill more Rakshasas and make money in merit value. Of course, the cultivators of the Ancestral Spirit Realm, on the other hand, are more interested in preserving their Great World.”
Zhang Ruochen’s eyes stared as he said, “Why is it that Great Sage level powerhouses are fighting outside the domain and not inside the world’s interior?”
Su Qingling smiled cheekily and said, “The destructive power of a Great Saint level powerhouse is too terrifying. Imagine a group of Great Saints from the Heavenly Court Realm and the Hell Realm, all fighting inside the Ancestral Spirit World, where would it take thirty years, I’m afraid that within a few months, the Ancestral Spirit World would be torn apart.”
“The Rakshasa Clan won’t be able to obtain the flesh and blood they want to devour along with the treasures they want to plunder, while hundreds of millions of living beings will be buried in the Ancestral Spirit Realm. In that case, what’s the difference between fighting in the middle of a dead starry sky?”
“Both sides have more to gain than to lose, and there is no point.”
“Thus, the interior of a great world is actually a battlefield for beings below Great Saints.”
Zhang Ruochen always felt that when the Heavenly Court Realm did this, it was deliberately sacrificing weak worlds like the Ancestral Spirit Realm, and asked, “Why doesn’t the Heavenly Court Realm counterattack the Hell Realm? Why didn’t it explode the Divine War and directly annihilate the Hell Realm?”
Su Qingling put away her smile and sighed softly, “If the Heavenly Court Realm was stronger than the Hell Realm, it would have already launched a counterattack, how would it let a subordinate mortal realm continue to be eaten up by the Hell Realm like it is now?”
“As for the Divine War, it did explode once.”
“That was a hundred thousand years ago, and that divine war swept through the entire universe, causing more than half of the deities in the Heavenly Court Realm to fall, thousands of great worlds to be destroyed, and the Hell Realm to be greatly injured.”
“Even after 100,000 years have passed, both sides still haven’t fully recovered, and now, naturally, no one is willing to easily move for a large-scale divine war.”
Zhang Ruochen fell into silence, feeling a deep sense of helplessness and sadness.
Finally, he understood more deeply the Moon God’s words, that reality was cruel, and all beings were pawns, and that if he wanted to protect his loved ones, friends, and loved ones, he had to make himself stronger.
Su Qingling added, “Next, let’s talk about the second stage of the war, the Armageddon Battlefield stage.”?
“At this stage, the entire Great World has been shattered, and all the treasures that the Saint King was interested in have been looted. Even the spatial structure of the great world had become so unstable that it could no longer withstand the power of a Saint King level.”
“Therefore, the Saint Kings from both sides, will withdraw from the battlefield. Next, on the battlefield, only Saint and below Saint cultivators will be left to continue plundering the resources within the Great World.”
The muscles in Zhang Ruochen’s entire body tensed, his hands squeezed into fists, and he said in a deep voice, “Why is it necessary to designate a certain Great World to become a battlefield? What exactly is the purpose of doing so? The gods of the Heavenly Court Realm, don’t they feel cruel?”
Su Qingling said, “This can’t be helped! You have to know that even if the Heavenly Court Realm doesn’t open up a battlefield, the Hell Realm will still keep on attacking the major subordinate mortal realms, creating destruction and death, so it would be better to set aside a battlefield where both armies would face each other, and in that case, the losses would be smaller instead.”
“In the beginning, the Heavenly Court Realm and the Hell Realm also went to war in all directions, both suffering heavy losses, and it was only after tens of thousands of years of evolution that they eventually defaulted to this set of rules for going to war.”
“Of course, this is also another manifestation of the weak and the strong. Because, the great worlds that were chosen as battlefields were the least potential and weakest great worlds.”
“The strong can decide the fate of the weak, and throughout the entire universe, it is such a cruel law.”
It was cruel, realistic, yet true.
Zhang Ruochen’s mind calmed down and said, “Since the battlefield was opened up, even if the battlefield will be shattered and billions of living beings will be buried. There should also be a winner and a loser, right?”
Su Qingling nodded and said, “That is indeed the case, however, the Heavenly Court Realm has always lost more than it has won. For example, in our Western Universe, the number of world battlefields has always been ten, destroying one and opening up a new one.”
“With ten battlefields, the Celestial Court Realm can only win three at most. The so-called victories are only the result of killing more Hell Realm cultivators than the dead Heavenly Court Realm cultivators.”
After asking the questions to be asked, Zhang Ruochen flipped through all the relevant books, and then, left the Hidden Hundred~Million#^^Small!said.
The Saints who attended the Ten Thousand Saints Conference all stayed in the Tongyi Sacred Domain, and each Saint had an independent cultivation cave.
When Zhang Ruochen arrived outside the cultivation cave that belonged to him, a Half-Saint had already been waiting there, bowing and saluting Zhang Ruochen, saying, ”Lord Saint, Young Master asked me to tell you that the World Treasure Vault of the Broad Cold Realm will be opened in three days. As a Divine Envoy of the Saint Level Merit Battle, you have priority to enter the treasure vault and pick any three treasures.”
“Who is your young master?”Zhang Ruochen asked.
“Our family’s young master is a close friend of Lord Saint and a Boundary Son of the Saint-level Merit Battle.”The half-saint said with a look of adoration.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, “Call me three days later.”?
Entering the cultivation cave, Zhang Ruochen then took out the Condensed Truth Sacred Dew, swallowed it into his mouth, and began to go all out to refine and absorb it.
Spending three days and three nights, Zhang Ruochen refined close to 300 drops of Condensed Truth Sacred Dew in a row, and his cultivation level rose another notch.
It was not far from the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm.
“Time, time, how can time be so tight.”
As long as Zhang Ruochen was given enough time, he had full confidence that he could break through to the True Saint realm with the 10,000 drops of Condensed Truth Sacred Dew.
Once he reached the True Saint realm, under the Saint King, Zhang Ruochen would no longer be afraid of any opponents.
But now, there was not that much time left for him.
Zhang Ruochen thought of the Time Formation, but then gently shook his head.
How mysterious was the Time Formation, could it not be researched in a moment?
Right at this moment, Zhang Ruochen heard Xiao Hei’s voice transmission, “Zhang Ruochen, this Emperor and the Wood Maiden have arrived outside your cultivation cave, why don’t you come out to greet them?”
Zhang Ruochen frowned and stopped his cultivation, walking to the outside of the cave, and sure enough, he saw Mu Lingshi and Little Black.
“Surprise, surprise?”
Xiao Hei twisted its all-feathered, and walked directly towards the inside of the cave.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed one of its wings and dragged it out, looking serious as he said, “How did you guys come here?”
Mu Lingshi said, “Naturally, I’m participating in the Seven Merit Battles.”
“Nonsense, with your cultivation, how dare you go to the Merit Battlefield?”Zhang Ruochen said.
Mu Lingshi said, “What’s wrong with my cultivation? My cultivation has even broken through to the Middle Realm Saint, and I have the power to fight when I meet a Xuan Huang Realm Saint, so it’s said as if I can’t go to the battlefield. Besides, all the Saints of the entire Guanghan Realm must go forward to the Battlefield of Merit, and I am now a Saint of the Guanghan Realm just like you.”
Zhang Ruochen said very seriously, “Then do you know how dangerous the Battlefield of Merit is? If so many of us Saints go there, it is very likely that a large portion of us will die there, and our flesh and blood will be eaten by the Rakshasa, with no bones left. If, on the other hand, the battlefield is very tragic, it is very likely that all of the saints of the Guanghan Realm will be wiped out.”
“You even know that it’s very dangerous, so why do you still want to go?”Mu Lingshi said with red eyes.
Zhang Ruochen said, “I have no choice.”?
“I don’t have a choice either.”Mu Lingshi said.
Zhang Ruochen pinched his fingers, then, grabbing Mu Lingshi’s small hand, he ignored Mu Lingshi’s struggles and dragged her, heading in the direction of the Moon God Mountain, saying, “Come with me to see the Moon God, and ask the Moon God to disqualify you, and I’ll never allow you to go to the Battlefield of Merit.”
Zhang Ruochen had just taken three steps, when suddenly, he stopped, his eyes looking around, and now, the surrounding scenery had all disappeared.
An invisible force enveloped this piece of heaven and earth.
Mu Lingshi also revealed a strange expression and looked ahead.
Only to see, the figure of the Moon God, appeared outside Zhang Ruochen’s cultivation cave, her figure, breathtakingly beautiful, while her figure formed a line of beautiful curves, and her body was permeated with an icy temperament that did not eat earthly fire.
One of the Moon God’s slender jade hands was slowly raised, and a white point of light appeared in her palm.
“Wow.”
Those points of light, flew towards Mu Lingshi and merged into her body.
Instantly, Mu Lingshi’s cultivation grew fast, breaking through one after another until she reached the Thoroughfare Realm, before she came to a halt.
The Moon God’s cool voice entered Zhang Ruochen and Mu Lingshi’s ears, ”Zhang Ruochen, there is only so much I can do. It would be best for Mu Lingshi to make a trip to the Ancestral Spirit Realm, if she’s lucky enough, she might be able to obtain a chance that’s not too bad.”
Zhang Ruochen stared at the Moon God’s figure, revealing a puzzled expression as he said, “What kind of chance?”
“You’ll naturally be able to find the answer when you go through the books about the Ancestral Spirit Realm.”
As the last word fell, the Moon God’s figure disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the surrounding scenery, once again, reappeared.
