Chapter 1964: The Heart of the Divine Tree

“The Meritorious Pure Water will be able to cleanse one’s body and Saint Soul to the point of immaculateness… Suitable for culminating an Immortal Body, 100 million merit points per unit.”

“The Zhifu Liquid of Merit enhances spiritual power and improves the quality of one’s spiritual power. It can aid in one becoming a spiritual power Supreme Saint… Three hundred million points per unit.”

“The Meritorious Primordial Water. Top-tier water-element sacred relic, can aid with the cultivation of a top-tier water-element Immortal Body and high-level water-element saint arts. 500 million merit points per unit.”

“The Meritorious Bloodsoul Wood. Top-tier wood-element sacred relic, can aid in the cultivation of top-tier wood-element Immortal Body and high-level wood-element saint arts. 500 million points per unit.”

…

“The Meritorious Soul Liberation Soil. Top-tier earth-element sacred relic, can aid in the cultivation of top-tier earth-element Immortal Body, and also earth-element divine techniques. 5 billion merit points per unit.”

“The Meritorious Nine-nether Fire, fire-element sacred relic, can aid in the cultivation of top-tier fire-element Immortal Body, and also fire-element divine techniques. 5 billion merit points per unit.”

“A Meritorious Chaotic Essence Stone. An ultimate divine object, and has infinite uses. 50 billion merit points per unit.”

…

Zhang Ruochen’s gaze swept over the introductions of the merit treasures and was secretly surprised. He found that the merit points he had right now could not be exchanged for much.

The merit treasures he looked were all merit artifacts of a wide variety, and the amount of merit treasures required to exchange also varied greatly.

All of the better merit artifacts would need hundreds of thousands of merit points to exchange, and the top-tier ones would require tens of billions of merits points, almost to the point of unachievable.

The reason why he looked at all those merit artifacts was because Zhang Ruochen wanted to prepare to cast his Immortal Body.

Although it was easy to cast an Immortal Body as long as one’s cultivation reached to the level of Path’s Anterior, and step into the realm of a Neverwither Supreme Saint, but there is a strong and weak divide among the Immortal Bodies. The stronger one’s Immortal Body was, their strength will be even greater once they step into Supreme Sainthood, and their future achievements will be even greater.

If he was to cast the most normal of Immortal Body, his strength will be very weak, and there will be no hope for him to go on further and would only stop at the first level of the Supreme Sainthood.

These sort of Neverwither Supreme Saints may not even be able to beat a top-tier Path’s Anterior powerhouses.

Zhang Ruochen was naturally not satisfied with just asting an ordinary Immortal Body. His goal was to become god, so he must cast the most powerful of Immortal Bodies to lay a solid foundation for his future godhood.

And to cast the most powerful Immortal Body, it would undoubtedly require top-tier treasures of heaven and earth.

Zhang Ruochen now had the Innate Five-Element Chaotic Body and was one of the strongest body-types in the realm, so he wanted to cast the strongest Innate Five-Element Chaotic Immortal Body.

But it will be difficult and needed Great Rarities of the Five Elements that were more precious than the Essence of Five Elements.

The second-class Innate Five-Element Chaotic Immortal Body would be casted, even if barely, using top-tier sacred artifacts like the Meritorious Primordial Water, the Meritorious Bloodsoul Wood and the likes.

The five top-tier sacred relics would need 2.5 billion merit points, and Zhang Ruochen now had enough merit points to redeem them.

But Zhang Ruochen was not satisfied with just that. He wanted to cast the perfect Innate Five-Element Chaotic Immortal Body, so he was looking at Five-Element Divine Relics like the Meritorious Soul Liberation Soil, the Meritorious Nine-nether Fire and the likes.

Each of the Five-Elment Divine Relic would requires 5 billion merit points, and five of them would see a total of 25 billion merit points, and it was an astronomical figure.

At this stage, he only had 2.7 billion merit points, and could not even afford a single one of the Five-Element Divine Relic.

The number one on the Saint King Merit List had only just passed the 30 billion points, and one could only wonder how long it look for that person to accumulate that much merit points.

Unless he did not spend his merit points at all, otherwise there was no way for the person to exchange all Five-Element Divine Relic at once.

In fact, most people would accumulate merit points while redeeming various items at the same time to strengthen themselves. Few would simply just accumulate merit points without spending them.

“Big brother, I’ve already exchanged everything I needed. You’re not done figuring out what merit treasures you want to exchange?” Feng Yan asked with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said. “The ones I want to exchange needs a lot of merit points, and I’m not able to exchange them for the time being. Oh right, second brother, what did you exchanged?”

“It seems like Big brother you’ve fancied some good stuff. I’ve redeemed Thunderwind-element treasures to help with my cultivated of Empress Wa’s Stratagems. But all of them are just too expensive, with my hundreds of million of merit points, I could only barely exchange a few Thunderwind merit treasures.” Feng Yan said helplessly.

Zhang Ruochen stretched his hand out and patted Feng Yan on the shoulder, smiling. “Don’t worry, take your time, there’s still much merit points to get gained on the battlefield. I also need to slowly accumulate my merit points to exchange a few very precious merit treasures.”

Now he was determined to cast the strongest Immortal Body, it was just too difficult to obtain Five-Element Divine Relics through other channels. On the other hand, using merit points to exchange the merit treasures would be comparatively easier, and at the very least he could gather all of them.

“Big brother, I’m going to return to the Northern Region battlefield of merit to get more experience and earn more merit points along the way. What are your plans?” Feng Yan asked.

Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment, saying. “I’ll head to the Central Region first, there’s something that I need to deal with.”

“Then I’ll head to the Northern Region for a while, and train togther with Second Brother on the battlefield of merit. I think only by fighting in the battlefield of merit I can culminate my Precept Dominion.” Xiang Chunan said.

Zhang Ruochen nodded. “Yeah, that’s fine. The both of you can take care of each other. If there’s anything, just drop me a message.”

He was not worried Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan would face any trouble staying behind in the Northern Region. Feng Yan had the Feng Clan behind him alongside the Fane of Truth, even Xuanyuan Liekong would need to be wary.

As they had nothing else to do in the Main Terminal of Merit, Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan left immediately, and Pei Yutian also followed them.

Pei Yutian’s roots were in the Northern Region, unless there was a need, he would not leave the place.

“Zhang Ruochen, please give me a Heart of the Divine Tree, I will return it to you once I’m done with my enlightenment.” Ji Fanxin said.

Zhang Ruochen did not say anything, and immediately used his spiritual power to get into the Qiankun Realm as he communicated with the seedling of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

Trying to get something from the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was something even he could not accomplish, and he can only rely on the seedling of the tree to do so.

The Heart of the Divine Tree was condensed from the essence of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree and contained the thoughts and learnings of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree on the Path of Life, which was extremely precious.

It was extremely difficult to condense a Heart of the Divine Tree, and it would take an entire Yuanhui for one to be formed.

The Divine Sky-connecting Tree had existed since the founding of the Kunlun Realm. It had survived for countless of ages until a hundred thousand years ago. Even the greatest king of Kunlun Realm, Lord Wentian of Ten Tribulatiuons, was nothing but a junior before it.

After such a long time, the Divine Sky-connecting Tree had condensed many Heart of the Divine Tree, and there were at least dozens of them.

However, when the Divine Sky-connecting Tree was cut down by one of malefactors during the Middle Ages, at least half of the Heart of the Divine Tree inside the trunk were taken by someone.

Now there were only seven Heart of the Divine Tree left inside the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

Although the Divine Sky-connecting Tree had been cut down for 100,000 years, and yet the Hearts of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree were still full of vitality and contained a surging essence of the divine tree. If one were to be refined, no matter how grievious the wounds one suffered, one could recover from it. It was almost akin to a Divine Medicine of Immortality.

With seven Hearts of the Divine Tree was equivalent to having seven more lives.

After some time had passed, the Divine Sky-connecting Tree seedling finally took out one of the Heart of the Divine Tree and stored it inside a box made out of the Divine Sky-connecting Tree.

With a turn of his hand, Zhang Ruochen took out the box containing the Heart of the Divine Tree and handed it over to Ji Fanxin. “I shall gift this Heart of Divine Tree to you, Fairy. I hope it will be of use to you.”

He was naturally very happy to befriend top-tier elites like Ji Fanxin and gifting her a Heart of the Divine Tree was totally worth it.

Ji Fanxin looked deeply at Zhang Ruochen and reached out to take the box, saying. “Thank you so much. I should take my leave now, and I hope there will be opportunities for us to work together again in the future.”

“It’s me who should be thanking Fairy for your help in during this period. If you need anything in the future, as long it is something within my ability, I shall never refuse.” Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

He and Ji Fanxin were in a cooperative relationship, and since that cooperation had ended, it was a given that Ji Fanxin would leave, so he was not surprised.

Ji Fanxin nodded. “Alright, we shall meet again.”

“Fairy, take care.” Zhang Ruochen saluted.

Ji Fanxin did not make any further delays and immediately left through the Main Terminal of Merit’s the dimensional teleportation array.

Zhang Ruochen did not know where Ji Fanxin was heading to, and what he was sure that she was still in Kunlun Realm and had not left the place.

As he thought about it, Ji Fanxin probably is going to meet with the cultivators of Qianrui Realm. As the leader of the Qianrui Realm, she could not keep on leaving the many cultivators of the realm behind and act alone.

“Have you heard? Cang Long is preparing to attack the Moon Worship Demonic Sect!”

“Why would Cang Long act against the Moon Worship Demonic Sect?”

“The Moon Worship Demonic Sect has a very deep connection with Yueshen, and there is a deep conflict between Youshen and Yueshen, it’s normal for Cang Long to act against the Moon Worship Demonic Sect. I’ve heard that Cang Long wants to snatch a treasure that Yueshen had left in the Moon Worship Demonic Sect in the past.”

“I see. The Moon Worship Demonic Sect has long since been in decline and are without any elites. With Cang Long striking, the Moon Worship Demonic Sect will not be able to stop him. By the looks of things, the treasure will definitely fall into Cang Long’s hands.”

Just as Zhang Ruochen was about to leave through the teleportation array, he suddenly heard some comments, and his expression changed slightly.

Cang Long was a disciple of Youshen and was called the number one elite beneath a Supreme Saint in the Fane of Youshen.

Zhang Ruochen had already met four of the Six Fatals of the Fane of Youshen. All of them were extremely powerful, and Cang Long was who knows how many times stronger than them. If he was to attack the Moon Worship Demonic Sect, with their strength at the moment, they would not stand a chance.

He had already planned to go to Mount Wuding and had even prepared gifts already.

Now it seems like this trip was even more paramount.

“Hopefully it won’t be too late!”

Zhang Ruochen secretly prayed.

The Moon Worship Demonic Sect had very deep ties with Mu Lingxi, Ling Feiyu and even Yueshen, he could not allow anything to happen to it.

He immediately set off and used the dimensional teleportation array to rush to the merit sub-terminal closest to Mount Wuding.

And seeing Zhang Ruochen left, the two person who were discussing earlier let out a strange smile as they sent a communication talisman out.
