Unrivaled Martial Emperor Chapter 400 -Exchanging Merit

Chapter 400 – Exchanging Merit

Chen Fan returned to find Wei Buyu as instructed. His master immediately asked, “You’re back, Chen Fan. What did the sect leader tell you?”

“Master, the sect leader has given me my holy disciple mission. I’m to go to the Myriad Deaths Mountains and eliminate the demonic cultivators plotting something there…”

He then explained the details of his mission to Wei Buyu.

Wei Buyu’s expression became grave, and he said, “He wants you to eradicate those demonic path cultivators and gather information? This mission is way more difficult than usual. It seems the sect leader may be sending you to your death.”

“Oh? What do you mean, Master?” Chen Fan asked, narrowing his eyes. He hadn’t expected the mission to be so dangerous.

Wei Buyu explained, “I know about the Myriad Deaths Mountains. It’s an ancient battlefield where the righteous and the demonic cultivators had a huge battle. Many experts, including those in the Divine Nascent realm and even those in the Heavenly Star realm, lost their lives there.

“I have heard that many demonic cultivators have gathered at Myriad Deaths Mountains. They seem to be planning something huge, with numerous experts among them.

“The situation at Myriad Deaths Mountains is complicated. Since you advanced just recently, you can’t be considered a strong Core Formation realm expert. The smallest of mistakes could cost you your life.

“The sect leader assigning this mission to you as a test may seem fair, but who knows if he has hidden agendas? This mission should have been given to an elder of the sect.”

Wei Buyu was furious. Chen Fan was the best candidate from their faction to fight Duan Jingtian. If he lost his life in the Myriad Deaths Mountains, the blow to the High Elder faction would be devastating, perhaps even irreparable.

Wei Buyu said angrily, “It seems like the sect leader is using his authority to settle personal scores. The high elder injured Duan Jingtian, halting his cultivation progress and granting us time. Now, the sect leader might be plotting to send you on a dangerous mission, possibly planning to eliminate you.”

Chen Fan’s heart raced as he absorbed Wei Buyu’s words.

“Then what should I do, Master? I’ve already accepted this mission. If I fail to complete it, I can’t become a holy disciple.”

Wei Buyu thought for a while and said, “Let’s go see the sect leader immediately and have him change your assignment.”

However, Chen Fan did not follow; instead, he pondered for a while. He then raised his head and said with a resolute gaze, “No, Master. If I asked him to change my mission, wouldn’t that make me a coward? If news of this spreads, how would the entire sect view me?

“And, if the sect leader really wants to harm me with this, I will make sure that’s the last thing that happens. I want to experience firsthand the challenges of the Myriad Deaths Mountains and use them to temper myself.

“One must face challenges head-on in martial arts, with an unwavering spirit. If I backed down now, I’d be betraying my martial path. It might hinder my progress in martial arts forever!”

Chen Fan’s words simply left Wei Buyu dumbfounded, rooted to the spot. Thê sourc𝗲 of this content n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))

Wei Buyu soon regained his composure and cautioned, “Chen Fan, now is not the time for bravado. Many seasoned experts have met their end in the Myriad Deaths Mountains. It’s a graveyard for martial artists.

“The corpse qi, death qi, resentment, and all kinds of evil energy in the area have birthed powerful evil spirits. As a righteous martial artist, navigating through such a place will be treacherous, and filled with constant danger.

“Moreover, there’s a legend about a formidable demonic cultivator sealed beneath the Myriad Deaths Mountains. I think those demonic martial artists have gathered there to release or awaken this ancient menace. Even a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse could fall prey to it. Your chances of survival are slim if you venture there!” said Wei Buyu to dissuade Chen Fan.

“That doesn’t matter. You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. I don’t fear those devils. ’m the least afraid of these devils. As a righteous martial artist, I’m aware that the demonic cultivators gathering there are plotting something significant. If they succeed, it could plunge the entire Great Chu Empire into chaos. I can’t stand by and do nothing.

“The gap in strength between Duan Jingtian and me is vast. To narrow the gap as soon as possible to fight him, I need to train in the harshest environments to rapidly improve my skills.

“So, Master, no need to dissuade me any further. I’m going to the Myriad Deaths Mountains no matter what!” Chen Fan asserted firmly.

Thanks to Chen Fan’s unwavering resolve, Wei Buyu realized that he couldn’t persuade him. “Alright, if you’re set on this path, I won’t argue further. After all, this is your martial arts journey. Perhaps it’s this very determination that helped you increase your cultivation so fast, surpassing opponents stronger than you one by one.

“You’ve accumulated a massive amount of contribution points, thanks to your wins in the martial arts competition. Why don’t you go over to the sect’s Merit Hall first to exchange your contribution points for some useful treasure? Prepare yourself well before heading to the Myriad Deaths Mountains.”

His words reminded Chen Fan that he indeed had a massive amount of contribution points. Perhaps even a Core Formation realm elder would not have this many contribution points.

This fortune could not be wasted. He needed to convert it into strength.

Chen Fan did not lack anything right now. Be it treasure, weapon, or martial arts, he had them all.

His iron spear was a Grade-4 treasure.

Northern Star Reaper Hand and Great Brahma Sacred Palm were both earth tier martial skills. There weren’t many even in the entire Spring Autumn Sect.

However, anything could be bought with contribution points in the Spring Autumn Sect. Chen Fan was interested to see what exactly was up for trade.

“Let’s go, I’ll bring you to the Merit Hall,” Wei Buyu said.

The two rose into the air and flew off, soaring past layers of buildings and mountains until they arrived at a magnificent hall.

The grand structure bore the inscription “Merit Hall.”

The entire plaza of the hall could comfortably accommodate more than ten thousand people. Numerous disciples were present, exchanging their contribution points for treasures, elixirs, and other valuable items.

Noticing Chen Fan’s arrival, some disciples quickly cleared a path.

Not only was Grand Elder Wei Buyu leading the way, but Chen Fan’s current status also commanded respect.

Everyone here knew that Chen Fan had succeeded in getting through his tribulation, becoming a Core Formation realm expert and a holy disciple. His status was so high that he was comparable to a grand elder of the sect.

Even members of the alliance stepped aside upon seeing him, no longer displaying the arrogance they once did.
