The Saints who hadn’t entered the conference venue were all gathered at the edge of Moon Goddess Mountain. They couldn’t enter the hinterland.
Zhang Ruochen surveyed them quietly. He realized that every Saint who could come to Moon Goddess Mountain was at least in the Heaven Pass Realm. There were close to 10,000 Saints.
This was a very shocking number.
It seemed like a large number, but they stood at the top of Guanghan Field’s pyramid. They’d pulled through from among millions. They were the strong figures who’d survived thousands of large battles.
Each person was a sovereign of a place and could stand their ground.
If some force destroyed Moon Goddess Mountain and killed all the Saints there, it would be a catastrophe for the entire Guanghan Field.
Of course, there were the strong even among the strong.
Right now, the Saints present formed small groups.
The person in the center of each group both had strong abilities and a terrifying background.
Some Saints appeared around Su Qingling and Bu Ji to make small talk.
Zhang Ruochen stood in a corner by himself. He studied the people at the center of the groups.
One of them was a handsome man with long hair. There was a large group of Saints around him. Even Heaven Pass and True Saints had eyes of reverence when seeing him.
The beautiful female Saints would even walk up to him and show off their beauty in different ways as if trying to attract his attention.
Just then, that handsome man sensed someone watching him. He glanced in Zhang Ruochen’s direction. He realized it was only a weak Heaven Pass Saint, so he shook his head and looked away.
“That’s Wu Hao, first of the Saints Merits Rank.”
Su Qingling appeared behind Zhang Ruochen at some point. She followed his eyes to Wu Hao.
“Very strong,” Zhang Ruochen said.
Su Qingling nodded. Her pretty eyes grew serious. “Indeed very strong. You should know that you need 500,000 merits to enter the Saints Merits Rank. So, most of the people on the list are Absolute Saints who’ve lived for centuries.
“But Wu Hao has only cultivated for around 100 years and already has 4,700,000 merits. He far surpassed those senior Absolute Saints and powerfully got the first place of the Saints Merits Rank.”
“How many merits does Bu Ji have?” Zhang Ruochen asked.
“He probably only has 500 or 600 thousand. But… Entering the Saints Merits Rank as a True Saint is already very good.”
Su Qingling thought for a moment and continued, “According to the information from Grandfather, the Heir is undoubtedly Wu Hao. As for the Priest, they will probably choose from the True Saints in the Saints Merits Rank.”
Zhang Ruochen had already decided to fight for the 10,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew. Naturally, he would care about this.
Actually, if he asked the Moon Goddess for 10,000 drops, she would definitely give it to him. But if a Saint made an exchange with a goddess, he would always be at a disadvantage.
Today, he asked the Moon Goddess for 10,000 drops of Ning True Saint Dew.
Tomorrow, he would pay an even greater cost.
Plus, Zhang Ruochen didn’t like asking others for help. If he could get something with his own abilities, he definitely wouldn’t plead to others.
“How many True Saints could enter the Saints Merits Rank?” he asked.
“Including Bu Ji and I, there are only four. The other two are Spiritual Lady Ling Mi of the Stone Spirit Tribe and Wen Shucheng, one of the Tree God’s heirs.
“Ling Mi is a piece of Bright Moon Saint Stone who developed a consciousness and turned into human form. She has an undying spiritual body and can easily convert Spiritual Qi into her own power. If you go up against her, you must not get fooled by her looks. She’s actually very strong.”
It was clear that Su Qingling had strong animosity towards Ling Mi. This animosity was a woman’s natural animosity.
Zhang Ruochen looked around and quickly found Ling Mi.
She was a beautiful woman shrouded in saintly mist. She stood at the edge of Moon Goddess Mountain. Her skin was snowy white and translucent, without any flaws. Her entire being radiated with a cool aura.
It was only a hazy figure, but she was suffocatingly beautiful.
There were many youthful male Saints gathered around her, but no one dared to get close. They were really appreciating her from afar and not daring to approach her.
When Su Qingling saw that Zhang Ruochen was looking at Ling Mi, she immediately stood before him and blocked his view. She pointed in another direction. “Do you see the guy holding a bamboo scroll? That is Wen Shucheng, the heir of the Tree God.
“He cultivates Spiritual Power. From the moment he was born, he started studying and cultivating the Life Way under the Tree God’s trunk. Now, his Spiritual Power has reached the middle of the 54th level. He’s equal to a True Saint for Martial Saints.”
The beginning and middle of the 54th level for Spiritual Power was equivalent to the True Saint Realm.
The end and pinnacle of the 54th level was equivalent to the Absolute Saint Realm.
“Don’t think that he looks gentle and scholarly, and cultivates the Life Way. He’s actually very strong. He has high attainments in the Life spells. Bu Ji once fought with him and was restricted within ten exchanges.”
Bu Ji walked over then. Hearing that, his eyes flared. “My cultivation is only in the middle of the True Saint Realm. Wait until I get to the pinnacle. I’ll kill him if we fight again.”
Su Qingling scoffed. “Unfortunately, you don’t have the chance to reach the pinnacle. You’ll lose to him today.”
Bu Ji was about to refute that…
Suddenly, Supreme Saint Jiuling’s voice came from the direction of the Guanghan Divine Palace. “All Saints of Guanghan Field, you may enter now.”
Hearing this voice, all the Saints present used their fastest techniques and charged toward Guanghan Divine Palace.
The Guanghan Field had a high-matter plane. Even a Saint couldn’t unleash too fast of a speed.
Plus, the Moon Goddess’ divine might pressed down on Moon Goddess Mountain. The Saints suffered from even more pressure, so their speed was even slower.
Even so, Wu Hao’s speed was still shocking. He was the first to reach Guanghan Divine Palace. He was miles ahead of the second person.
Seeing this scene, all of the Supreme Saints present nodded.
“Wu Hao is a top talent produced by Guanghan Field. With his talent, there’s even hope for him to enter the ‘Saints Merits Rank’ of the entire Heaven World.”
“With Wu Hao as the leader, we’ll have a chance for the Saints round of the Seven Fields Merits Battle.”
…
Elder Wu was one of the three giants of Guanghan Field. He stood at the uppermost position, but it was dark there. Even light was swallowed when it flew close.
Thus, no one could see Elder Wu.
However, hearing the compliments from the Supreme Saints, the Saint Kings of the Wu Family were all happy.
Without a doubt, the Saints on the Saints Merits Rank would be the first to arrive.
Whoever arrived first would naturally choose a better position for themselves. They could also show off their abilities before the Supreme Saints. It was a chance to display themselves.
Zhang Ruochen didn’t show off purposely. He just went forward with a normal speed and arrived with a group of Heaven Pass Saints. He sat somewhere on the side.
Anyway, it wasn’t like whoever arrived first would become the Priest.
There was no need to be so rushed.
Extremely strong Supreme Saint might burst from the venue of the Thousand Saint Conference. The Saints of the Heaven Pass Realm all sat in their seats, terrified and not daring to breathe heavily.
If they were lower Saints, they would probably be sent to the ground from the aura.
Perhaps this was also why lower Saints weren’t allowed to participate in the conference.
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the Guanghan Divine Palace up ahead. The palace loomed. It radiated with impressive divine light. Any being who stood before it was like an ant looking up at the heavens.
That was where the Moon Goddess lived.
Perhaps, she was inside the palace and looking down at the Saints now.
Every Saint had the same thought, so they all sat properly. They worked to show off their best side. If the Moon Goddess liked them, they could rise up through the ranks.
Supreme Saint Jiuling sat at the front. White hair flying, he announced, “Today, we have gathered everyone to Moon Goddess Mountain to tell everyone something very important. It pertains to the survival of Guanghan Field.
“Not long ago, one of the battlefields in the western universe, Zuling Field, was destroyed. Next, the Heaven World will create another battlefield among the various worlds of the west to continue fighting against Hell World. The new battlefield will be chosen among the Shatuo Seven Fields.”
Boom!
An uproar burst forth as soon as Supreme Saint Jiuling spoke.
“Zuling Field only became a battlefield 30 years ago and it’s already been destroyed. Has the battle between Heaven and Hell World intensified even more?”
“We cannot let Guanghan Field become the newest battlefield. Once it does, it will definitely be destroyed. Our descendants are still living there. They shouldn’t be killed.”
“If Guanghan Field follows in Zuling Field’s steps, we’ll be cultivators without a motherland. The most pitiful of Heaven World are the beings without a home.”
“We must protect Guanghan Field even if we risk our lives. We must not let it become the newest battlefield.”
…
Seeing that everyone was willing to risk their lives to protect Guanghan Field, Supreme Saint Jiuling nodded in satisfaction. “Those present are some of the strongest beings of Guanghan Field,” he said. “If you wish to protect it, everyone must work together to win the Seven Fields Merits Battle.”
