t immediately charge forward, but instead searched for their weaknesses. However, it seemed there were no obvious flaws to exploit.Seeing that the opponent was already charging, he could only act. The...In the cultivation world of Kyushu, merit and military exploits, though only displayed in numbers on a cultivator's battlefield record, can bring cultivators a lot of tangible wealth.

No matter which kind, it is crucial for cultivators.

The ways to obtain merit points are roughly divided into three categories: killing enemies, selling items in the Heavenly Treasure Vault, and receiving them from the Commander during the Lingxi Realm's garrison. Apart from these, there are no other methods.

But the source of military merit is, in many cases besides killing enemies in special situations, becoming more diverse. Just like last time in the Wan Shou Domain Secret Realm, relying solely on killing enemies, Lu Ye didn't gain much military merit. However, by leading Pang Hai and others to resolve the root cause of the crisis in the Wan Shou Domain, he gained a lot of military merit.

Therefore, gaining military merit isn't solely about killing enemies. It can also be obtained by completing specific events, and the amount earned is significantly greater than that from simply slaying opponents.

Compared, military exploits are undoubtedly more important because you can directly purchase spirit talismans with them.

Then achievements won't work.

The only way to obtain spiritual talismans with merit points is through participation in the spiritual talisman auction.

This is also why many Yunhe Realm cultivators like to search for various secret realms in the Yunhe Battlefield and participate in them.

The Lingxi Battlefield has many inherited traditions, while the Yunhe Battlefield has many secret realms. The former allows cultivators to obtain a more solid foundation, and the latter allows them to grow rapidly. Thus, in the cultivation world of the Nine States, powerful cultivators are born generation after generation.

Since entering the Yunhe Battlefield, Lu Ye has only entered one Myriad Beasts Domain secret realm. Firstly, he hasn't been in the Yunhe Battlefield for long. Secondly, the places he's visited aren't many. Furthermore, some secret realms open at specific times.

But this doesn't mean that the secret realms in the Yunhe Battlefield are scarce.

If one truly had the heart to venture into the secret realms, cultivators would have the opportunity to experience one on average every month. Many of these secret realms are steeped in military merit.

In this way, cultivators can obtain military merit through their actions in these secret realms and subsequently exchange it for spirit talismans.

Although this may be arduous and perilous, it is always better than waiting for divine inspiration or practicing in places of inferior spiritual energy.

Lü Yè last obtained a considerable number of military achievements in the Wan Shou Yu secret realm. After exchanging some spirit talismans, his military achievements were only fifty-six points left. Since then, there has been no change.

What was originally 56 combat achievements has now become 576. In other words, it has increased by 520 points...

This can be exchanged for two or three white spirit signs.

Lu Ye instantly understood that the kills he had achieved against those insect tribes weren't meritorious deeds, but battle achievements!

This made him pleasantly surprised. Comparatively speaking, military achievements were more valuable, and he didn't lack merit at the moment anyway.

After a little calculation, the number of battle achievements gained is not significantly different from the comparison between those zerg strengths and the rewards for meritorious service.

For example, if killing a cultivator at the fifth level of the Yunhe realm would grant Lu Ye forty points of merit, then killing a creature equivalent to a fifth-level Yunhe cultivator would also grant forty points of battle merit!

So, those dozen or so worm creatures that were at the Yunhe realm just now contributed 520 points of merit to me.

While I was filled with excitement, I also became more cautious.

When matters involve military merit, they rarely ever become simple.

The cultivators on the Yunhe Battlefield once summarized a rule: secret realms with existing battle merits are much more dangerous than other secret realms.

It could be a coincidence, or maybe the energy I just released attracted it.

The moment this insect creature saw Lu Ye, it immediately burst through the window. Two blades whirled like those of a skilled swordsman, creating a whirlwind of carnage in the not-so-spacious room.

The Pishan blade shot up, its light flashing, and Lu Ye had already become one with this insect warrior.

The sound of clanging and ringing filled the air, the surging energy causing the room to be in disarray.

Since Lu Ye had suddenly gained power comparable to a True Lake Realm expert, he was still somewhat unfamiliar with it. After all, he himself was only at the Cloud River Fifth Layer Realm. Therefore, before he fully mastered his power, he couldn't display his full strength.

But these suddenly appearing bugs were indeed much stronger than the previous ones. At least, the one wielding a sword was incredibly tough, able to block the strike of the Panshan Blade.

This is definitely a genuine Lake Worm!

Lu Ye was very curious. If he killed this Zerg, would the military merit be calculated according to his current Zhenhu realm strength, or according to his Yunhe Fifth Layer cultivation base

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

If the latter is the case, then the benefits this insect race could bring would be quite impressive.

In the calculation of meritorious deeds, a Zhenhu Jing cultivator's basic merit is one hundred points. For each small level increase in cultivation, an additional one hundred points are added.

To put it simply, the achievements represented by a True Lake's first layer are one hundred points, the second layer is two hundred, and as for the ninth layer of the True Lake, that's a full nine hundred points.

If Yunhe's five-layer realm kills a Zhenhu's first-layer realm, crossing five small realms, the merit gained is six times the base... 600 merit points.

Correspondingly, the military merit also follows the same principle.

600 merit points, but it can be exchanged for a green spirit signature. And this is calculated based on the level of Zhenhu Lake, which means that the strength of this insect clan is likely to be more than one level of Zhenhu Lake. The stronger its strength, the greater the benefits obtained from killing it, and it increases in multiples.

The hurried exchanges in this confined space honed his control over his current state.

As the Zerg warriors raised their blades, Lu Ye moved like lightning. With Wind Stride activated, his figure blurred and vanished before reappearing within a meter's distance. A dazzling light flashed across the surface of his Pianshan Blade, revealing intricate patterns swirling on its pitch-black edge.

The sharp blade descended, aiming straight for Lu Ye's back, but it only grazed his body and missed him.

A puff of sound echoed as the Pantian Blade pierced through the Praying Mantis's chest. The moment the Haochi Spirit Pattern activated, the insectoid creature shuddered violently and let out a short, sharp screech from its mandibles.

Another blade hacked down, Lu Ye dodged hurriedly stepping back. The Panshan sword drew a streak of emerald-green blood, splattering onto the floorboards.

The severely wounded Mantis Worm clan members staggered and swayed, instinctively waving their two sickle-blades.

Amidst a deafening roar, the wall on the second floor cracked open. Shattered wood rained down from the ceiling, and dust filled the air.

When the dust settled, the Mantis tribe was already dead. Lu Ye didn't have the heart to check his own battle achievements, he just stared blankly at the distant sky.

The sky seemed to tear open, revealing a colossal rift. Within that chasm, another world appeared to be hidden. At this very moment, hordes of insectoids were swarming out from the breach, pouring into this world.

Those zerg came in many shapes and sizes. Many were forms the Landwalker had seen before within the Mirage Realm, while others were completely new to him.

They are like cats that have smelled fish, pouring into this place from unknown spaces.

>>g upwards. Sensing Lu Ye's presence, a few jumped towards him. A flash of his blade, and those creatures were cut in half before they could reach him.After a brief moment of contemplation, Lu Ye jumpe...
