Chapter 1943 The Rankings, Announced to the World!
Zhenhai Immortal City!
Just as the group of semi-saint level experts walked out of the Cultivator Association headquarters and took to the air, the overwhelming pressure gradually dissipated above Zhenhai City.
Just as its figure was about to disappear into the clouds...
Suddenly, a soft yet highly penetrating beam of light burst forth from the direction of the city center square, instantly piercing through the clouds.
A colossal light curtain rose out of thin air.
Like a suspended dome of the sky, it slowly unfolds and spreads.
A soft halo of light poured down, illuminating the entire Zhenhai City and the surrounding area within a ten-mile radius as if it were daytime.
Even the mist floating in the air was tinged with a warm luster.
This sudden celestial phenomenon occurred without any warning.
Like a sudden clap of thunder, it immediately alarmed all the cultivators within a ten-mile radius.
Whether it's a wandering monk on the street or in an alley?
Or are they disciples who are in seclusion and cultivating at a sect stronghold?
Or perhaps the cultivators refining pills and forging weapons in the mansion all suddenly opened their eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
Then, with a swift movement, they transformed into streaks of light and sped toward the light screen in the center of the city.
In just a few breaths...
Below the light screen, cultivators from all directions gathered.
next moment,
Lines of gilded characters gradually appeared on the light screen.
The handwriting was clear and legible, radiating a faint, spiritual glow.
Even the cultivators standing on the outermost edge could see it clearly.
The cultivators all stopped, their gazes fixed on the light screen. Their initial surprise and doubt gradually faded.
Then, an undisguised shock flashed in their eyes.
Shock surged in my eyes like a tidal wave.
Then,
Ecstasy spread like wildfire, instantly engulfing my entire body.
Many cultivators couldn't help but clench their fists, and their breathing became rapid.
quickly,
More and more cultivators from Zhenhai City rushed over upon hearing the news.
The once empty city center square was instantly filled with a dense crowd of cultivators, quickly growing from a few hundred to over a thousand.
The place was bustling with noise, and the sounds of discussion and exclamations were incessant.
The cultivators surrounding the light screen all looked up, pointing and gesturing at the screen floating in mid-air, their expressions varied.
There was shock, ecstasy, longing, and doubt.
Especially when one's gaze falls upon the "Breakthrough to a Major Realm Treasure" section displayed on the light screen...
Almost all the cultivators' eyes revealed an undisguised burning desire.
The longing was like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb, so intense it was almost overflowing.
However, this is actually quite normal.
In the world of cultivation, realm is the foundation of a cultivator, the basis for their existence.
Each breakthrough to a higher realm brings a qualitative leap in strength.
It can even change one's own destiny.
Treasures that can assist in breaking through to higher realms are always rare and hard to come by.
It is the most coveted treasure for all cultivators.
Whether they are independent cultivators or disciples of sects, they all have an extreme desire for it.
It's no wonder that others didn't find it strange that he was in such a disheveled state.
A joyful shout rang out from the crowd, breaking the brief silence:
"Look!"
This exchange list even has the supreme elixir for breaking through to the Golden Core realm, the [Golden Core Breaker]!
With this pill, I might be able to break through the bottleneck of being stuck at the peak of Foundation Establishment for so many years and enter the Golden Core realm!
The voice just fell,
A cultivator nearby sighed softly, his tone carrying a mixture of helplessness and clarity:
"Fellow Daoist, please do not be agitated. The [Golden Core Breaking Pill] is a supreme spiritual pill, and the battle merits required to exchange for it must be considerable."
With our current strength, we probably can't reach that level.
Perhaps you should consider other support items with weaker effects for breakthroughs.
"Those treasures might require fewer battle merits to obtain, which gives us a better chance of acquiring them."
"That makes sense!" another voice echoed.
"Those low-level auxiliary breakthrough treasures, although not as effective as the [Golden Breakthrough Pill], at least we have a chance to obtain them."
It's better than just staring longingly at the prospect of obtaining the [Breaking Through the Golden Core].
Just as everyone was discussing and deciding which treasures to exchange for...
A questioning voice rang out, tinged with confusion:
"By the way,"
If you want to exchange for these treasures on the list, where do you get battle merits?
I've been staying in Zhenhai City these past few days, and I haven't heard of any major moves by the Cultivator Association.
There was no recruitment of cultivators to carry out the mission.
These military achievements couldn't have come out of thin air, could they?
Upon hearing this, many cultivators nodded in agreement, their faces showing confusion.
Some of the more knowledgeable and highly skilled cultivators frowned slightly, a thoughtful and puzzled look flashing in their eyes.
One of the white-haired old Taoist priests stroked his beard and slowly spoke:
"good!
The old Taoist priest was also quite curious.
The teleportation array to the Forbidden Sea is now useless, and the Purgatory Clan can no longer descend.
It's impossible that the association recruited cultivators to attack the Purgatory Clan and annihilate them.
As for the demon race, they have enjoyed peace with the human race for countless years. Although there are occasional minor frictions and conflicts, there has never been a large-scale war.
The association wouldn't attack the demon race without reason, wasting so much manpower and resources.
"In this way, the source of this military achievement is quite mysterious."
Another cultivator in a blue robe chimed in, his tone tinged with speculation.
"Could it be that this victory is related to the recent uproar about the remnants of the anti-revisionist party?"
Didn't we hear some time ago that the Cultivator Association had raided several strongholds of rebel cultivators and killed quite a few?
"Probably!"
Someone immediately echoed, a glint of expectation flashing in their eyes.
"If killing rebel cultivators can earn battle merits, that would be a good thing."
I just don't know how many battle merits a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator's head is worth.
If the quantity is considerable, we might as well try our luck.
It eliminates harm and earns battle merits that can be exchanged for treasures—a win-win situation.
Just as everyone was still discussing the origins of their war merits...
A deafening scream suddenly erupted from the crowd.
The voice was filled with disbelief:
"No! Look!"
This list even includes large spiritual veins that can be exchanged!
"Am I seeing things?"
"how is this possible?"
The cultivator beside him immediately retorted, his tone tinged with doubt.
"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps seeing things?"
In today's cultivation world, large spiritual veins are incredibly precious.
Either it forms the foundation of each large immortal city, supporting the flow of spiritual energy throughout the entire immortal city,
It is either the fundamental inheritance of a top-tier sect, nourishing the cultivation of its disciples, or it is of paramount importance.
How could we easily offer up the exchange?
Even if the Cultivator Association is powerful, it wouldn't have enough large spiritual veins to exchange for!
"I'm not talking nonsense, you can see for yourselves!"
The old Taoist priest who had exclaimed pointed to a line on the light screen and said firmly,
His face showed a mixture of smugness and shock.
The group of cultivators all looked in the direction the old Taoist was pointing...
All eyes were drawn to the list that emitted a faint glow, where a line of large, gilded characters clearly displayed:
Exchange for a large spiritual vein - 100000000 battle merits.
The handwriting was clear and legible, without the slightest blurriness, and everyone could see it clearly.
For a time,
A brief silence fell over the square.
Everyone was stunned by this astonishing information.
Even their breathing stopped for a moment.
Then,
Another exclamation rang out, louder and more excited than before:
"Look!"
There isn't just one large spiritual vein available for exchange; look below, there are more than a dozen!
Is this...is this real?
The association actually offered over a dozen large spiritual veins in exchange for battle merits! That's incredibly generous!
"Oh My God!
More than a dozen large spiritual veins!
Some people couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"If we could exchange one of these, it would be useful, whether for establishing a sect or not?"
Whether used as a place for secluded cultivation or not, one can achieve instant success!
"That's not all!"
Look, there are even supernatural powers you can exchange for at the bottom of the list!
Someone discovered a new continent and excitedly shouted,
"Amazing power!"
That's a top-tier cultivation method; ordinary cultivators can't even see it.
The association even offered some for exchange!
"Where?
Where is it? Let me see!
Upon hearing the word "supernatural powers"...
All the cultivators instantly erupted in excitement, crowding forward and eagerly searching the list.
"At the very bottom, however, only a title 'Catalogue of Supernatural Powers' is displayed."
However, the specific names of the supernatural abilities and their effects were not revealed.
Even the required military achievements did not materialize.
A cultivator who had squeezed to the front row watched for a moment, then slowly spoke, his tone tinged with regret.
"I guess you need to accumulate a certain amount of battle merits before you can unlock and view the specific information about the supernatural abilities."
"This doesn't make sense!"
Someone frowned, a hint of doubt in their voice.
Even for a treasure like a large spiritual vein, the required battle merits are clearly indicated.
Could it be that the battle merits required for a single supernatural power can exceed those required for a large spiritual vein?
This is absolutely incredible.
"What you're saying does seem a bit unreasonable."
The monk beside him echoed,
"Perhaps, besides battle merits, there are other hidden restrictions on exchanging these supernatural abilities?"
For example, cultivation level, aptitude and talent.
Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense.
Just as everyone was discussing and speculating about the limitations of exchanging supernatural powers...
Another exclamation broke the noise, filled with shock and disbelief:
"Look!"
This list even includes guild positions that can be redeemed with battle merits!
"How...how is this possible?"
With this remark,
The square fell silent once again.
All the cultivators were stunned, their faces showing disbelief.
But then I thought about it again, and the association had already brought out supernatural powers and large spiritual veins.
In comparison,
It seems less surprising that some association positions can be obtained through military merit.
Nevertheless, the cultivators beneath the enormous light screen floating in mid-air immediately focused their attention on the dazzling array of association positions.
His eyes were filled with fervor and longing.
after all!
In the world of cultivation, the Cultivator Association is currently the most influential force.
He wields immense power, and his influence extends to all the immortal cities in the Endless Sea.
Every position in the association represents not only supreme power,
This also means that the Cultivator Association, a behemoth, is backing them.
For cultivators from small sects, clans, and especially for rogue cultivators with no one to rely on...
This undoubtedly has a fatal attraction.
Once you get a position in the association, it means you'll never have to be beholden to anyone again.
No more worries about being bullied
They can even use the association's resources to quickly improve their cultivation and change their destiny.
Then,
A lively discussion erupted in the square once again, with exclamations of amazement and envy filling the air.
"This is unbelievable!"
Even the position of Palace Master can be exchanged for battle merits!
That's the Palace Master, a position that wields immense power and is reserved for top-tier experts.
The required military exploits would probably be astronomical, wouldn't they?
"Although the sincerity shown by the Cultivator Association far exceeded our expectations,
However, the battle merits required for the position of Palace Master are certainly beyond the reach of us junior cultivators.
Let alone the position of Palace Master?
Are they the ministerial and deputy ministerial positions at the association's headquarters?
Even the position of branch manager is something we, with our abilities, would probably never achieve in our lifetime.
"That's true."
Someone sighed softly, their tone tinged with helplessness.
"However, the required combat merits for the division-level positions in medium-sized immortal cities and the bureau-level positions in small immortal cities on the list should not be too high."
We still have some hope.
"As long as we work hard to earn merits, it's not impossible to try."
"Fellow Daoist, do not be too optimistic."
A composed cultivator spoke up, his tone carrying a hint of rationality.
"Don't forget, there are only ten thousand vacancies across all the positions on the list."
Although they may seem numerous, the number of cultivators in the cultivation world is truly vast.
The number of cultivators in the Endless Sea alone far exceeds ten million.
The intensity of this competition is self-evident.
Therefore, please don't have too high expectations.
To avoid the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
“What you say, fellow Daoist, is indeed the wise advice of an experienced person.”
The crowd nodded in agreement, their initial fervor and longing gradually giving way to a hint of rationality and disappointment.
"We really can't have too high expectations."
The cultivation world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world; to obtain a position, one ultimately needs to rely on their own strength and sufficient battle merits.
The murmurs gradually subsided...
Many cultivators showed a hint of disappointment on their faces, secretly calculating their own strength and knowing that it would be extremely difficult for them to gain enough battle merits to exchange for their desired treasures or positions.
Just as the cultivators were feeling slightly disappointed and their spirits were gradually dampened...
Another gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.
The voice was filled with excitement and curiosity, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"I see!
Now I know where the large spiritual veins the association offers for exchange come from!
Where did it come from?
Could it be a newly discovered, deeply buried spiritual vein beneath the earth?
"Was it found in some sea area?"
Tell me quickly, where exactly is it!
"···"
For a time,
Countless gazes converged on the cultivator who had spoken.
Obviously.
Everyone was eager to know the answer.
The discussion became noisy again.
