Maximum Comprehension: Taking Care of Swords In A Sword Pavilion Novel - Chapter 1235

1235 First in Merit, Fight Again!
Han Muye slowly walked forward, and the thousand-foot-tall heavy iron door slowly opened.

“Creak—”

The city gate emitted an ear-piercing friction sound because it had not been opened for countless years.

In the gate tunnel, black Battle Puppets and Immortal Cultivators stood side by side.

Everyone stared at Han Muye.
“Senior, we’re back,” Han Muye said softly. Holding the jade bone and broken sword in both hands, he strode into the gate tunnel filled with the scent of decay.

“Roar—”

A Battle Puppet suddenly roared.

The other Battle Puppets also let out continuous howls.

They seemed to be welcoming the returning warriors.

“Kid, Old Sun likes you quite a lot.” The voice of the Spirit Sword Golden Immortal rang in Han Muye’s ears.

Old Sun?

Who is it?

Han Muye looked up and saw at the pinnacle of the Immortal Burial City. The gaze of the enormous supreme beast, Water Goblin, fell upon him, and then the entire figure slowly dissipated..

Behind him, the city gate of the Immortal Burial City slowly closed.

Figures descended from the city walls.

“Slay the supreme-rulers!”

Someone shouted.

“Slay the supreme-rulers—”

Countless voices cheered.

The shouts shook the heavens, slowly turning into silence.

Gradually, suppressed weeping sounds emerged.

On the city walls.

And within the city.

Han Muye turned around. On the city wall, Immortal Lord Zi Yu nodded slightly with a solemn expression, and then his figure flashed.

Immortal Lord Hu Yuan, who had transformed into a half-armored man, grinned and flew away.

Folding his wings, the Tu Heaven Demon King, brimming with celestial radiance, descended back onto the city wall. He smiled at Han Muye and said, “I’ve brought two supreme-ruler Clan members under our wings, one for each person.

He raised his hand and flicked a gray-black mud column in front of Han Muye.

“If you don’t use the supreme attributes you obtained, you can exchange it in the city for meritorious achievements by finding the supreme-ruler-Slaying Battle Puppets.”

“Tsk tsk, the supreme nature of two supreme-ruler Clan junior generals can earn you quite a bit of merit.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal Lord Tu Tian no longer stayed where he was and flew away.

As they left, joy gradually spread across the city walls.

In today’s battle, not only did Han Muye successfully slay a supreme-ruler, but the others also killed many Dark Demon Beasts and many Immortal Slaying Envoys with rich supreme attributes.

Whether for cultivation or exchanging for merit, these supreme attributes were significant gains.

Su Jian and the others flew behind Han Muye with smiles on their faces.

They had also gained a lot from this trip.

Moreover, for them, the biggest gain wasn’t the supreme attributes that had dropped from the slain enemies but rather the immense self-confidence they had gained from this battle.

It turned out that the supreme-ruler Clan outside the Immortal Burial City was only so-so.

With such confidence, they could live longer than others.

Han Muye glanced at the city wall and said softly, “Let’s go back to the camp.”

…

Returning to the camp, Han Muye buried the jade bones and broken sword outside the camp and went straight into the tent.

A golden array light barrier rose, and two clusters of supreme attributes floated in front of him.

The supreme of the two supreme-ruler Clan Junior Generals, who had the combat power of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals, emitted a golden glow as they twisted like living creatures.

Han Muye pressed his palm on one of the clusters, feeling the surging power.

Divine attributes could strengthen the body’s resilience and increase personal power.

Combined with Immortal Qi, cultivation and combat strength could be significantly enhanced.

Pressing his palm down, the cluster of supreme attributes shattered into 5,000 fragments the size of fingernails.

One Dark Demon Beast harbored roughly the same amount of supreme attributes as one of these fragments.

In other words, this supreme-ruler Clan expert with Zenith Heaven combat strength was equivalent to the strength of 5,000 Dark Demon Beasts.

If one exchanged merit points in the Immortal Burial City, one fragment was equivalent to one merit point, and this supreme-ruler expert was equivalent to 5,000 merit points.

However, this kind of event, where one ventured outside the city to kill supreme-rulers, hadn’t occurred in thousands or even tens of thousands of years. Many cultivators accumulated their merits through tasks stationed on the city walls.

For most Immortal Cultivators, there were not many opportunities to hunt Dark Demon Beasts.

Feeling the power of the supreme attributes, scenes of Han Muye slaying the supreme-rulers replayed in his mind.

The supreme-ruler Clan was very strong and fast, but they did not last long in front of his sword formation.

This was because these supreme-ruler Clan experts hadn’t fully utilized their power.

Though their bodies were robust and their strength immense, they hadn’t refined the use of their power.

If that were the case, the supreme-ruler Clan who appeared to have formidable combat strength was actually not so terrifying.

As for the Dark Demon Beasts, they were fast and ubiquitous, but their destructive power was somewhat lower.

The Immortal Slaying Envoys were primarily used for siege warfare and, in one-on-one combat, weren’t difficult to deal with.

The scenes of the sword formation, the battles, and various analyses replayed in his mind until half a day later, Han Muye finally stood up.

Leaving the main tent, Han Muye raised his hand, conjuring a golden talisman.

Zhao Chen and the others quickly arrived.

“These are supreme attributes, obtained from killing foreign clans.

“These supreme attributes can be exchanged for city merits or directly used to aid cultivation.”

Han Muye raised his hand and threw out the supreme of the supreme-ruler Clan experts that had shattered into 5,000 pieces.

Two pieces per person.

He turned around and looked at Su Jian and the others.

“Lead everyone in practicing the formation and simulating the battlefield outside the city.”

As top-tier experts, reviewing was necessary.

Bai Tu and the others nodded.

With determination from today’s battle, they had the confidence to stand firm on the city walls.

“Starting tomorrow, half of us will be on the city walls to familiarize ourselves with the battlefield.”

With a single statement, Han Muye caused everyone’s bodies to tremble.

They hadn’t expected that, after agreeing to rest for 10 days, they wouldn’t even get a single day’s respite?

However, thinking of Yunlan Sword Immortal and the others leaving the city to battle, slaying supreme-rulers and returning victorious, excitement filled their expressions once again.

Establishing their accomplishments, this was the right time.

For a moment, more than 2,000 elites of the Sword Sect rubbed their palms together, all eager to be selected to go to the city walls.
