I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1491 - Chapter 1491 Chapter 1493 Sword Immortal Set

Chapter 1491: Chapter 1493: Sword Immortal Set Chapter 1491: Chapter 1493: Sword Immortal Set A hundred years of time, from the peak of third-rank combat power to growing into a demi-god level powerhouse, is that slow?

Not slow at all, just look at the Dragon Clan of Kamata. Those dragons that have lived for thousands of years have only reached the peak of the Legendary Realm at most.

In the game world, natives aren’t like players, who can level up by killing monsters; they must improve their rank and strength step by step, without neglecting cultivation methods, realms, or experience–there are simply no shortcuts.

Reaching demi-god level status in a hundred years, even within the Imperial Sword Sect, is extraordinarily rare. Otherwise, the sect wouldn’t have opened the door to recruiting players!

Guo Xiao was very tempted, but unfortunately, this is a secret realm, just a segment of elapsed time and years. It’s impossible for him to join another sect here.

“Thank you for your kind intentions, senior, but I have already joined a sect. I can only take your goodwill to heart,” Guo Xiao said with full apologies.

“What a pity, such a pity!” The elder from the Blazing Flame Sect looked at him with regret and shook his head, saying no more. Although Tribulation Fire is strong, it is only ranked in the thirties on the Spirit Fire Ranking. If Guo Xiao could exchange for the “Great Sun Tathagata Fierce Sun Sword Scripture”, he could cultivate the Solar True Flame with this scripture, a flame that ranks within the top ten on the Spirit Fire Ranking, more formidable than Tribulation Fire.

Had Guo Xiao truly cultivated the Solar True Flame, the elder from the Blazing Flame Sect might have considered competing for him. Now, it was just a matter of Tribulation Fire–regrettable, but he wasn’t too concerned.

The few of them exchanged glances, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes and signaling each other with a look before slowly retreating from the crowd.

There were many like them who hadn’t “passed” the assessment. Some would stay here to enjoy the bustle and see if a successor would truly emerge, while others, feeling somewhat embarrassed about not passing the assessment, would leave immediately upon exit.

Therefore, when Song Jian and the others left, they didn’t draw much attention, except for a surprised glance from Guo Xiao Tian. After all, they had been inside for the longest time, and in Guo Xiao Tian’s view, they were the ones with the best chance of inheriting.

“Having gained something is better than nothing. However, compared to the true inheritance, these gains are insignificant!” Guo Xiao Tian watched Guo Xiao and shook his head slightly.

Only after they were a great distance from the land of inheritance did Xin Ling exclaim excitedly, “Hahaha, we’ve struck it rich, so rich! With so many merit points, I can exchange for several Promotion Pearls!”

“What are Promotion Pearls?” Song Jian asked, bewildered.

“Senior Brother Song, you’ve never been to Star Hall, so naturally you don’t know about Promotion Pearls. One Promotion Pearl can raise any level beneath the Legendary Realm!” Xin Ling explained with a smile: “Of course, it’d be most worthwhile to use the pearl at level one hundred nineteen, but no one would wait that long to use it. Each Promotion Pearl can be exchanged for three merits. Previously, I could only look at them, but now I can finally make an exchange!”

“Unfortunately, I only obtained a little over sixty thousand merits, still quite a ways off from the ‘Great Sun Tathagata Fierce Sun Sword Scripture’…”

Though speaking of a shortfall, Guo Xiao’s face was filled with a joyous smile. He had already saved more than ten thousand merits previously, and with the gains from this time, he would need at most a few more months of effort to accumulate one hundred thousand merits and exchange for the long-desired “Great Sun Tathagata Fierce Sun Sword Scripture”.

He had thought it impossible to exchange for, but as fate would have it, he gained so many merits that the sword scripture was now within reach, and his heart overflowed with unspoken joy.

Chen Yang and Zhao Hai also obtained many items that could be exchanged for merits, and the group decided to go to Star Hall to exchange for treasures together.

…

The group arrived at the Human Race’s quarters, where other sects also had exchange spots, but the largest was the Star Hall of the Xuan Tian Sect.

Song Jian, upon entering the Xuan Tian Sect, immediately received a system prompt to deduct merits;

System: “You owe a total of 1,010 merit points which have now been deducted. Please see the deduction details for more information.”

One thousand and ten?

Song Jian was stunned, he opened the details to see that there was a late fee of five merits, which came from a jade Jue acquired from the Xuan Tian Sect. It was originally valued at five merits, but since Song Jian delayed for too long, another five merits as late fees had accumulated. Understanding this, he was momentarily at a loss for words.

The owed merits were automatically deducted, and an item worth more than a thousand in Song Jian’s inventory disappeared without a trace, while several coin-like items appeared in his inventory.

These coin-like items were the valor coins from the Starry Sky Battlefield, and on the battlefield, valor coins were the only circulating currency. Once one left the secret realm, any valor coins not spent would automatically be exchanged for Purple Crystals.

After entering the Xuan Tian Sect, Song Jian, along with several others, stepped into the Star Hall. Instantly, they found themselves in a grand hall filled with fantasy. It was as if they had entered the cosmic starry sky. Below their feet was the endless darkness, and all around them were dazzling stars. When one’s gaze locked onto them, the stars, sensing the attention, automatically flew close, offering a chance to be examined. Each of these stars represented an artifact.

Looking around, countless stars above and around formed a dense tapestry that dazzled the eyes and overwhelmed the senses!

“Exchange for merits!”

Xin Ling opened her inventory and took out all the items that could be exchanged for merits. Soon, a light scanned these items, and a number appeared before Xin Ling’s eyes.

“Valor coins available for exchange: 19,850. Exchange now? Yes/No”

Xin Ling had already calculated the value of these merits numerous times in her mind, and there were no issues, so she proceeded to exchange them directly.

A light swept over the items, transforming dozens of them into streams of light that vanished into the void, and then several valor coins flew into Xin Ling’s hands.

“Senior brother, the Sword Immortal suit you’re looking for is over there, in the Vermilion Bird Star Domain, Aries, to the left of the third, fourth, and fifth stars…” Xin Ling said, pointing towards the twinkling stars above Song Jian’s head.

Song Jian looked up carefully and saw that the stars were actually organized into four Star Domains named after the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Each Star Domain was further divided into hundreds of smaller Star Domains according to constellations, and within each, items were categorized by their attributes and ranks, which made it appear complex but actually very convenient for searching.

Following Xin Ling’s guidance, Song Jian’s gaze locked onto three stars, and moments later, the stars flew towards him.

“Sword Immortal’s Destruction Breastplate, Stream Light Massacre Boots, Stream Light Massacre Leg Guards…”

Three pieces of equipment shone with a purplish-golden light, and both the style and design matched the three Sword Immortal suit pieces that Song Jian had already collected.

“If I can exchange for all of them, I’ll have six pieces of the Sword Immortal suit parts…” A flicker of joy crossed Song Jian’s eyes, knowing that four individual pieces would unlock one suit attribute, six would unlock the second, and eight would unlock the third.

If Song Jian could indeed exchange for all three, it would mean he had collected the majority of the Sword Immortal suit.
