Chapter 1963: Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light

The Merit Exchange Hall was as packed as always, and someone came over to exchange merit points.

The moment Zhang Ruochen and his party walked into the hall, they immediately attracted the attention of many.

“It’s Zhang Ruochen. It hasn’t been long since his last visit, and he has come to the Merit Exchange Hall again.”

“Don’t you know? Zhang Ruochen went to the Northern Region, and in the battle of Xianji Mountain, he destroyed the Deathkin’s 200,000-strong army alone. Many of the Shenzis and Shennüs perished as well.”

“How is that possible? The Deathkin are one of the top three clans of the Infernal Court, and their strength is unparalleled. The ones on Xianji Mountain were their elites, how did Zhang Ruochen wipe all of them out alone?”

“It’s true. One of my clan brethren is in the Northern Region Basecamp and was selected to assault Xianji Mountain. He saw Zhang Ruochen unleashing his power and destroyed Altar of Death and the 200,000 strong Deathkin army with his own eyes. Not only that, Zhang Ruochen even retrieved the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and caused friction with a group of elites in the basecamp before parting ways. I’ve heard the Master Yunhai even died because of the tree.”

“Master Yunhai is dead? He is a person who can defeat a Neverwither Supreme Saint though.”

For a moment, the looks in the eyes of many looking at Zhang Ruochen changed.

Many did not witness the battle of the Central Region Sword Vault, so many did not believe that it was Zhang Ruochen’s credit.

But for the battle of Xianji Mountain, hundreds of thousands of cultivators witnessed the battle, so it was impossible to fake it. To be able to have such a shocking combat achievement, anyone would be wary of Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen naturally heard the surrounding discussion, but he paid no heed to it as he walked straight to the Saint King Merit List and started to exchange merit points.

As the Deathkin blood continued to flow out from the dimensional jade bottle, Zhang Ruochen merit points began to increase rapidly, and correspondingly, his ranking also rose.

Before then, his merit points were 3.5 billion points, and ranked beyond 10,000, close to the ranking and merit points collected by the number one Saint King of Guanghan Realm.

After pouring out all of the collected Deathkin blood and saint soul from the bottle, Zhang Ruochen’s merit points climbed all the way to 6.6 billion points, far surpassing the number one Saint King of Guanghan Realm.

And his ranking on the Saint King Merit List had also greatly improved, climbing lal the way to 3,342. Such a ranking was already extremely high, especially the time he had been on the Saint King Merit List was still very short.

Many major realms had used all of their strength accumulated over hundreds or even thousands of years may not even be able to get a person to where Zhang Ruochen was currently ranked now.

“6.6 billion merit points.”

At this moment, the entire Merit Exchange Hall appeared extremely quiet as everyone was stunned as they looked at Zhang Ruochen’s merit points and placement on the Saint King Merit List.

In less than a month’s time, Zhang Ruochen had actually gained another 3.1 billion merit points that it beggared belief; since when did merit points became so easy to collect?

“I really envy Zhang Ruochen, he had entered the top 10,000 of the Saint Kings Merit List so quickly. Getting his body and soul baptized by a large amount of Merit Qi aside, more importantly, he would get a Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light, and that cannot be bought no matter how much saint stones you have.” A purple-haired saint king said with envy.

“What’s a Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light?” Someone asked curiously.

The purple-haired saint king explained. “The Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light is a top-tier armor refined by the Fane of Merits. Its defensive power is amazing, and even a Neverwither Supreme Saint could not destroy it. More importantly, the armor culd unleash thousand times the speed of sound, so be it offense or defense, it is of great help.”

“Given how powerful the armor is, why don’t the Fane of Merits create more of them?”

A puzzled look appeared on the man’s face.

The purple-haired saint king shook his head and said. “Every single Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light consumes a large amount of treasures of heaven and earth, and is invaluable, so naturally not too many will be created.”

“Based on the rules of the Fane of Merits, if one wants to get the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light permanently, they need to stay within the top 10,000 for at least five hundred years. Should they be kicked out of the top 10,000, the Fane of Merits will take back the armor.

He once had entered the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List and owned the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light for a period of time. Unfortunately for him, he was squeezed out of the top 10,000, and had never managed to get back in since.

Many years ago, it only took 3 billion merit points to enter the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List. Over the years, the requirements had continuously increased, and now at least 4 billion merit points were needed, which was an extremely prohibitive requirement.

Before the Saint King Merit List, a large amount of Merit Qi appeared and engulfed Zhang Ruochen.

Anyone who entered the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List would be able to enjoy this benefit.

Zhang Ruochen’s body and soul was already very powerful and getting the baptism of the Merit Qi was still beneficial for him, allowing his body and soul to become even more tenacious and immaculate.

After receiving the baptism of merit, a strange armor gleaming in silver light appeared out of thin air and automatically put itself onto Zhang Ruochen’s body.

The armor fitted him perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for Zhang Ruochen.

After putting on the armor, Zhang Ruochen’s looked even more heroic and extraordinary, like a God of War riding across the battlefield.

“Congratulations, brother, for entering the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List and obtaining the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light.” Feng Yan said with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen smiled. “Just as I was thinking about not having a proper armor, the trip to the Northern Region this time is very worthwhile.”

“The Fane of Merit had prepared four types of Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light for the powerhouses ranked towards the front. The speed the armor can unleash is a thousand times, two-thousand times. five-thousand times, and ten-thousand times the speed of sound, and correspondingly its for the top 10,000, top 1,000, top 100, and top 10.”

“The Fane of Merits places great importance to those who can get into the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List. After all, they are all capable of playing a great role in the Battlefield of Merits, so that’s why they specially created the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light to enhance the survivability of these elites.”

Feng Yan explained with a smile. He understood these things better than anything.

If it weren’t for such great benefits, how could so many want to get themselves into the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List?

Perhaps there were other similar armors, but those will be extremely precious, and a top-level Saint King made not be able to afford them even with all of his wealth.

Zhang Ruochen cast his sight on the Saint King Merit List and locked onto to rank 9325. The person was Ji Kongyuan, the only person in Guanghan Realm who was on the Saint King’s Merit List.

Ji Kongyuan was the first son of Emperor Ji Mie, and he was an extraordinary talent. He had many managed to get into the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List many years ago and had managed to maintain his ranking after so many years without being pushed out of the top 10,000.

When Zhang Ruochen first entered the Celestial Court, Ji Kongyuan’s merit points were 3.8 billion, and it had grown to 4.3 billion now. This was also one of the reasons he was not pushed out of the top 10,000.

After some calculation, Ji Kongyuan had been in the top 10,000 of the Saint King Merit List for more than 500 years now, which meant that he could own the Meritorious Armor of Flowing Light for perpetuity. Even if he were to become a Neverwither Supreme Saint, the Fane of Merit will not take the armor back.

In recent years, Guanghan Realm had become extremely weak, it wouldn’t have been easy for them to get Ji Kongyuan into the top 10,000 and maintain his ranking for so many years.

“Emperor Jimie sure is amazing, for him alone to have so many heirs, and many of them are extremely talented.” Zhang Ruochen said in secret admiration.

He felt that if Guanghan Realm had a few more Emperor Ji Mie, her overall strength would have increased by a lot.

Seeing Zhang Ruochen was done exchanging his merit points, Feng Yan also took out the Infernal Court cultivators’ blood and souls he had collected and started exchanging them.

“Eight hundred million merit points. Another 200 million more and I’ll be able to get into the Saint King Merit List.” Looking at his merit points, Feng Yan could not help but smile.

Originally, Zhang Ruochen intended to give Feng Yan some of the Deathkin cultivators blood and saint soul, but Feng Yan refused it. He had the help of the Feng clan, so getting onto the Saint King Merit List, and getting into the top 10,000 was just a matter of time.

Pei Yutian also took out a dimensional jade bottle as he poured out a good number of Deathkin blood and saint souls, his merit points easily crossed the 100-million-point mark.

Without further delay, Zhang Ruochen and the other four walked towards the Merit Treasure Exchange Counter.

With a large amount of merit points, he naturally had to use them to redeem merit treasures to make himself stronger.

There were many merit treasures that the Fane of Merit had made available for redemption. Each of them was extremely precious and would require one to have sufficient merit points.

The last time around, Zhang Ruochen spent more than three billion merit points and redeemed many merit treasures, but most of them were redeemed for others. After all, the battle of the Sword Vault was not his work alone.

He had only exchanged a single treasure for himself, the Meritorious Sword Cleansing Marrow to cleanse and refine his sword soul.

After using a dozen of bottles of Meritorious Sword Cleansing Marrow, Zhang Ruochen’s soul sword had become very powerful, and it was no longer comparable to the sword soul of ordinary sword cultivators.

“If I use another 20 bottles of that Sword Cleansing Marrow, my sword soul should be able to undergo the essence evolution. The sword soul I’ve cultivated is already very strong to begin with, and it actually needed seventy Sword Cleansing Marrow to evolve, it sure isn’t easy.” Zhang Ruochen said to himself.

Every bottle of Meritorious Sword Cleansing Marrow required 10 million merit points to exchange, and seventy bottles meant 700 million merit points. It was not something any ordinary persons could afford.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ruochen exchanged another twenty bottles of the Meritorious Sword Cleansing Marrow as a graceful figure suddenly emerged in his mind.

“It’s time to meet her at Wuding Mountain. I should face what I need to face after all.”

ZHang Ruochen had long thought of going to Wuding Mountain to meet Ling Feiyu, but he was caught up in many things and had to delay it time and time again. When he remembered the vehemence Ling Feiyu showed when she left, Zhang Ruochen let out a long sigh.

The twenty bottles of Meritorious Sword Cleansing Marrow shall be a meeting gift for her.

“Chunan, what merit treasures do you need?” Zhang Ruochen turned around and ask.

Xiang Chunan shook his head and said. “No need. I’ve not used up the Meritorious Turbid Sacred Fire. Refining the eye is a little more troublesome as it takes too much time. I’ve not bee able to use my Telescopic Sight lately at all.”

Zhang Ruochen nodded, and then turned to Ji Fanxin, asking. “Fairy, do you need anything?”

“You don’t need to worry about me.” Ji Fanxin said.

In this regard, Zhang Ruochen would not insist, so he turned around and carefully looked at the introductions of various merit treasures, looking for those that will be of great help to him.
