This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

"A victory celebration banquet? Does eating that stuff increase your merit points? Can you exchange it for the Righteous Demon-Suppressing Armor?"

Jiang Liu curled his lip. A bunch of good-for-nothings from Zhongzhou. When they can't win, they cry and whine, threatening to self-destruct. When they win, all they think about is eating and drinking. How depraved! They are a disgrace to the righteous path!
He opened his merit panel and looked at the 500000 merit points displayed on it. The light in his eyes was even more intense than the blazing sun overhead.

A mid-grade immortal armor worth 100 million merit points, an immortal weapon jewelry set blueprint worth 100 million merit points, and immortal-grade materials worth 480 million merit points—a total shortfall of 680 million merit points—weighed like a mountain on his mind, but also like the most tempting carrot dangling before his eyes.

"Work! We have to work hard!"

Jiang Liu gritted his teeth, left Black Nether Island, and drifted alone overseas.

Although leaving the NPCs meant he wouldn't have to be a babysitter anymore, he also lost their guidance and had to find the overseas magic island on his own.

Ok?
An NPC will lead the way?
So even the righteous NPCs are guides!

Fortunately, the demonic forces have been operating overseas for many years. They may not have much else overseas, but they have many demonic islands!

Jiang Liu casually strolled on the sea for more than half an hour before discovering a magical island.

Looking into the distance, the Demon Island was filled with demonic energy and miasma. Ferocious demonic creatures could be seen roaming through the forest, and occasionally, the figures of demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or even the Integration stage could be seen flying across the sky.

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, they would probably have turned and run away long ago upon seeing such a scene, but who is Jiang Liu?
It's a huge wall hanging!
five minutes later.

"You brainless monster, take this sword!"

Jiang Liu's voice boomed above the Demon Island, and the spiritual energy within his body surged like a rushing river into the Righteous Qi Sword in his hand.

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

A thousand-foot-long golden sword beam appeared out of nowhere, like a golden lightning bolt, instantly tearing through the demonic energy in the sky and slashing towards dozens of Nascent Soul demons on a demonic island below.

Even before the sword light arrived, the terrifying pressure had already rendered those Nascent Soul demons immobile, leaving them only able to let out desperate roars.

boom!
With a loud bang, the entire Demon Island trembled violently.

The golden sword light landed on the demon island, splitting the entire island in two. The Nascent Soul demons didn't even have time to react before being torn to pieces by the sword light, turning into wisps of demonic energy that dissipated into the air.

With a single sword strike, he actually sliced ​​a small demon island in two!
This is terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

You have slain a Nascent Soul stage demon.

You have slain a Nascent Soul stage demon.

You have defeated a Demon General at the Fusion Stage.

"What kind of trashy demon island is this? How come there are only a few monsters at the Fusion stage?"

Jiang Liu's face was full of dissatisfaction. How many merit points did he get for a bunch of Nascent Soul stage demons and a few Integration stage demons?

What about the demonic NPCs in the Tribulation Transcending stage?
Let's get out there and do something!

In the time that followed, Jiang Liu completely transformed into a perpetual motion machine for accumulating merits.

His figure darted back and forth between the overseas islands, and every time he raised the Righteous Qi Sword in his hand, a thousand-foot-long golden sword beam would slash down.

He used the moves of the Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Sky in a variety of ways, sometimes sweeping away a whole group of monsters with a single sword strike.

Sometimes it's a single, straight thrust that instantly kills a demon general in the Fusion stage.

Sometimes he would even unleash several sword strikes in succession, forcefully slaying a demonic elder in the Tribulation Transcending stage.

On the first day, I earned 30 merit points.

The next day, Jiang Liu set off on time to continue his journey of accumulating merit points.

On this day, Jiang Liu encountered even more ferocious demonic creatures, and even a few demonic NPCs at the Tribulation Transcending stage appeared, but to him, they were nothing more than deliverymen delivering merit points.

He still easily defeated those demonic NPCs with just a few sword strikes, earning a large amount of merit points.

The next day, I earned 26 merit points.

On the third day, I earned 37 merit points.

That evening, the number on the merit panel changed to 1430000.

"I racked up 37 merit points in a single day! I'm awesome!"

Jiang Liu couldn't help but praise himself.

Without any NPCs praising him, he promotes himself!

At this rate, he'll be able to collect enough merit points to exchange for the blueprints for a mid-grade immortal armor and immortal jewelry set in less than a month!

In a month, you can exchange it for a mid-grade immortal artifact and a set of low-grade immortal artifact jewelry. It's a huge profit.

If the Merit Shop refreshed every month, he could bankrupt the Taiyi Immortal Alliance!

In the days that followed, Jiang Liu was like a tireless monster-slaying machine, shuttling back and forth between the demonic islands overseas every day, his Righteous Qi Sword stained with demonic energy and blood.

On the fourth day, merit points increased by 42, bringing the total to 185!
On the fifth day, merit points increased by 35, totaling 220!
On the sixth day, merit points increased by 40, totaling 260!
On the seventh day, merit points increased by 33, bringing the total to 293!
On the eighth day, merit points increased by 38, bringing the total to 331!
On the ninth day, merit points increased by 45, totaling 376!
In nine days, Jiang Liu accumulated 326 million merit points, more than halfway to his goal of 680 million.

Nine Heavens, over 300 million merit points, conquered and killed hundreds of overseas demon islands, and slew countless overseas demonic cultivators!

Now, even those who practice demonic arts overseas avoid him!
The sea area is so vast that, while not infinite, its map size is at least several times larger than that of the Central Plains.

Although Jiang Liu had been drifting overseas for nine days, when he opened the map, all he could see was a vast expanse of sea.

At this time, he had already left Zhongzhou and ventured deep into the sea.

"It's a pity that demonic NPCs above the Mahayana stage are not allowed to participate in the outpost event, otherwise it would be even faster to farm merit points."

A hint of regret flashed in Jiang Liu's eyes. Wouldn't a demonic NPC in the Mahayana stage have more merit points?
He didn't know if it was due to mission interference, but in the past nine days, he hadn't encountered a single demonic NPC at the Mahayana stage.

Where did all the demonic NPCs in the Mahayana stage go?
The further overseas you go, the darker the map becomes.

The demonic energy here was so dense it was almost impossible to dissipate, and the sky was filled with black thunderclouds, with streaks of black lightning occasionally falling down.

Here, Nascent Soul stage demons are commonplace, and Body Integration stage demon NPCs are merely ordinary elite monsters. Even Tribulation stage demon monsters can be encountered from time to time.

Just as Jiang Liu was slaying monsters and venturing deeper into the overseas territory, a sudden system notification startled him slightly.

You have entered a dangerous area—the Blood Demon's Deep Sea.

Jiang Liu: “????”

The area with a prompt?

Jiang Liu was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up.

In the past few days, he has also encountered several dangerous areas with warnings, and these warnings often indicate that the demonic NPCs are in the late stage of the tribulation or even the Great Perfection stage!

Brothers, we're having meat again today!

Soon, as soon as Jiang Liu entered the Blood Demon Deep Sea, he felt a strong killing intent lock onto him.

He looked up and saw a figure in a blood-red robe floating in mid-air, its blood-red eyes staring intently at him.

This figure exuded a strong aura of the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, making him even more powerful than the previous Black Fiend Old Demon.

"Boy, where did you come from, righteous cultivator? How dare you trespass into my Blood Demon Deep Sea?"

Blood River Demon's voice was hoarse and terrifying, like the friction of metal, sending chills down one's spine.

This place is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and he was surprised to encounter a righteous cultivator, who was only a junior in the Integration Stage. At the same time, he was very wary.

How could a mere junior cultivator at the Integration Stage of the righteous path manage to get here? Could it be that there is a Mahayana cultivator protecting him?
"You brainless monster, take this sword!"

Jiang Liu was too lazy to waste words with him and simply raised the Righteous Qi Sword in his hand.

"Insanity!"

A flash of fury crossed the Blood River Demon's eyes. A monster with a brain?
Are you talking about me?
As a demonic giant at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage, when had he ever been so openly insulted by a mere ant in the Integration stage? Arrogant, utterly arrogant!
I've never seen such an arrogant junior from the righteous path!
"Hmph! Let this old devil teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders!"

Blood River Demon snorted coldly and suddenly waved his hand. A long, blood-red river instantly appeared in front of him, surging towards the river.

In the long river, countless wronged souls struggled and roared in agony, emanating a chilling and malevolent aura.

"Blood River Technique!"

With a roar, the Blood River Demon increased the speed of the crimson river, instantly arriving in front of Jiang Liu.

"He has some skill, but not much of a feel for it."

Jiang Liu curled his lip in disdain, and the Righteous Qi Sword in his hand shone brightly.

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

A thousand-foot-long golden sword beam appeared out of nowhere, like a long golden river, crashing fiercely into the blood-red river.

Sword's edge meets the long river!
boom!
With a deafening roar, the golden sword light and the blood-red river collided instantly.

A terrifying energy shockwave spread outwards, distorting the surrounding space.

The wronged souls in the blood-red river were instantly purified by the righteous energy of the golden sword light, turning into wisps of green smoke and dissipating into the air.

The crimson river, too, was shattered inch by inch by the impact of the golden sword light, and finally collapsed completely.

"How can it be?!"

A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Blood River Demon. He could clearly sense that Jiang Liu's cultivation level was indeed only at the Integration Stage.

But that power was actually comparable to his own during the Tribulation Transcending stage!
No, saying it's comparable is too much of an exaggeration, after all, his Blood River Technique was broken by Jiang Liu's sword.

"How is it impossible?"

Jiang Liu chuckled and unleashed a flurry of skills.

"Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword!"

"Ten Directions Suppressing Fist!"

With a sword and a fist, they attacked Blood River Demon at the same time!

"Demonic Blood Shield!"

Blood River Demon dared not be negligent. He slapped his chest and spat out a mouthful of pitch-black demonic blood.

The demonic blood instantly transformed into a massive blood shield in mid-air, blocking his path.

boom!
boom!
The Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword and the Ten Directions Suppressing Fist struck the blood shield simultaneously, producing two deafening roars.

The magic runes on the blood shield shattered instantly, and the blood shield itself exploded into countless blood droplets.

Blood River Demon felt an overwhelming force emanating from the blood shield, causing his blood to surge and his body to involuntarily retreat dozens of steps.

puff!
Blood River Demon spat out a mouthful of blood, his face showing disbelief.

He never imagined that he would be beaten so badly by a cultivator in the late stage of Nascent Soul!

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

Jiang Liu gave the Blood River Demon no chance to catch his breath and raised the Righteous Qi Sword in his hand once again.

A thousand-foot-long golden sword beam appeared out of nowhere, carrying an indomitable momentum, and fiercely slashed down towards the Blood River Demon!

"No!"

Blood River Demon let out a shrill scream. A look of despair flashed in his eyes as he tried to use his escape technique, but it was too late.

The golden sword light instantly struck the Blood River Demon's body, splitting him in two.

"I won't give in!"

The Blood River Demon's screams echoed in the air before finally dissipating completely.

You have gained 100000 merit points for defeating the Blood River Demon.

"10 merit points! Awesome!"

Jiang Liu couldn't help but swear, his face showing a look of wild joy.

I now have 391 million merit points, which brings me one big step closer to my goal!

He sheathed his Righteous Qi Sword and was preparing to venture deeper into the Blood Demon Sea to find more demonic creatures to gain merit when he suddenly sensed an unfamiliar aura.

"Ok?"

Jiang Liu frowned slightly and subconsciously looked up.

Suddenly, a spatial rift appeared in mid-air not far away.

From the crack, hundreds of figures slowly emerged.

These people were dressed in very peculiar ways. Some wore black ninja outfits, some wore gorgeous kimonos, and others wore samurai armor. Their faces all carried a hint of arrogance and disdain.

The most eye-catching figure was the one standing at the very front.

The figure was dressed in a black, tight-fitting ninja outfit, with a black mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

In his hand he held a kunai that gleamed with a cold light, and his body exuded a strong aura of the early stage of the Fusion Realm.

Are these players in the early stages of fusion?!

Above his head even hangs a special title—the last shadow dancer of the Heisei era!
"What the hell?"

Jiang Liu was stunned when he saw the titles above the heads of the players in this row and the person at the very front.

"Heisei Era? Shadow Dancer?"
This looks so familiar!

Isn't this a player from the Asian server's Japanese region? How did they end up here?

His heart was filled with surprise and doubt.

He had previously speculated that the servers of the Immortal Cultivation Era were interconnected. Although players on the Celestial Empire server could only move around on the Divine Continent map, they could actually travel overseas to other servers.

But despite his speculations, he never expected that he would actually encounter players from other servers in the core area overseas!

Could it be that cross-server PvP and cross-server events are about to be launched?

Players from the Asian server's East Japan region were stunned the moment they saw Jiang Liu.

Their faces were filled with surprise and disbelief.

"What?! How come there are players from the Chinese server here?"

"Who is he? Why is he in a place like the Blood Demon Deep Sea?"

"Look at his cultivation level! He's actually at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm! There's actually a mid-stage Fusion Realm player in the Chinese server!"

"Baka ya ba! This Blood Demon Deep Sea is clearly a map from my Japanese server, why are players from the Chinese server farming it?!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out from the Japanese players, their eyes fixed on Jiang Liu, filled with doubt and curiosity.

The last shadow dancer of the Heisei era, standing at the very front, paused slightly upon seeing Jiang Liu. But quickly, a strong sense of hostility flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, isn't this a player from the Chinese server?"

The last Shadow Dancer of the Heisei era spoke, his voice laced with sarcasm: "What? Have the players in the Chinese server become so poor that they have to come to our Asian server's overseas regions to grind monsters?" (End of Chapter)
