Before Yi Tianxing were radiant Luck Crystals, shimmering in a variety of colors—gray, white, red, yellow, blue, green, gold, purple, and purple-gold. Each color denoted the quality of the Qi Luck contained within.
Gray: The lowest level, typically found in small villages and basic lifeforms.
Each subsequent color represented a higher tier of Qi Luck, with purple-gold being the highest.
Each crystal contained pure Qi Luck, refined and condensed by the Heavenly Dao, and could be absorbed by individuals, factions, or even empires. It was universal and immensely precious. The value rose exponentially with each tier:
10 gray = 1 white
10 white = 1 red
...
10 purple = 1 purple-gold
The power gap between tiers was vast.
In the world of cultivation, Qi Luck is everything—for individuals, for nations, for races. The stronger the Qi Luck, the more frequently geniuses are born, the stronger one's nation becomes, and the more stable the heavens favor its growth.
Yi Tianxing understood immediately:
"Looks like the Eternal World harvested plenty from this war. The fallen Eternal Night creatures not only left their corpses, but their Qi Luck too—now condensed by the Heavenly Dao into these crystals and returned to the people."
Even so, these treasures came at a steep price:
Crystal Color Cost in Merit Points
Gray 10,000
White 100,000
Red 1,000,000
Yellow 10,000,000
Blue 100,000,000
Green 1,000,000,000
Gold 10,000,000,000
Purple 100,000,000,000
Purple-Gold 1,000,000,000,000
Even with one trillion merit points, Yi Tianxing could only exchange for a single purple-gold crystal, which added just one zhang (3.3m) of purple-gold Qi Luck to a nation.
The Great Yi Dynasty currently had green Qi Luck, represented by a six-clawed green dragon. One green crystal would add one zhang to that dragon's size. Each green crystal cost 1 billion merit points.
Yi Tianxing did not hesitate. He exchanged 800 green Luck Crystals, spending 800 billion merit points—enough to extend his empire's Qi Luck dragon by 800 zhang. He had 200 billion points left.
He then searched for the Dao-Comprehension Tea Tree Seed that he passed up earlier.
A message appeared:
Dao-Comprehension Tea Tree Seed
Grade: Innate spiritual seed
Status: Normal, no mutation
Price: 500 billion merit points
Yi Tianxing realized:
"The one I saw earlier was much larger and far more spiritual—it must have been a mutated version."
Still, he didn't hesitate. He spent 500 billion points to acquire the normal version. After all, it was an innate spiritual root—worth every point.
Still curious, he searched for Xuán Huáng Mother Qi, which he had also seen earlier.
Result:
Xuán Huáng Mother Qi
Title: Root of All Creation
Price: 1 trillion merit points
Exchange Restriction:
Only Top 10 on the merit list may view
Only Rank #1 may redeem
Limited to one per person
Yi Tianxing finally understood:
"So the divine treasures offered on the Void Platform really were discounted beyond imagination. Their actual value far exceeds what I thought."
He searched again—this time for the legendary Peacock Plume.
Peacock Plume
Grade: One-time use treasure
Effect: Can kill Dao-Proving experts, threatens Hunyuan realm
Special: If refined with causality-based techniques, its power increases and could eventually kill Hunyuan-level enemies
Price: 1.5 trillion merit points
Restriction: Top 10 can view, only Rank #1 can redeem
Yi Tianxing pondered:
"My imperial Dao divine power, Golden Tongue and Jade Words, governs causality. It might be perfect for refining this... Great Yi needs a weapon that can deter true powerhouses."
Decision made. Yi Tianxing spent his remaining 1.5 trillion points to redeem the Peacock Plume, an ultimate ace that could shake even the mightiest of enemies.
All his merit was now spent—but the harvest was well worth it.
He returned with his gains. Looking at his advisors, he said calmly:
"The God-Demon Vault has a lot of good items this time. Some are limited in quantity, so don't hesitate."
He encouraged them all—especially the women around him—to redeem what they needed.
Zhao Ziyan grinned:
"I found a treasure called the Sword Tomb. If I raise it, it'll greatly aid my sword cultivation."
Each of the others found treasures suited to their paths. This was, without a doubt, a feast of fortune for all.
At that moment, Yi Tianxing suddenly sensed something.
"They've all entered the battlefield…"
He could feel the blood connection—his own children were scattered across the God-Demon Battlefield. Apparently, even Yi Xianhuang and the others had entered, and none of them had disappointed him.
With a wave of his hand, he opened space portals. His daughters carried spatial marks left by him to allow teleportation and summoning.
These marks hadn't activated before because Yi Tianxing had been stuck in the Eternal Night battlefield.
But now—The gates lit up.
From the battlefield, the girls responded instantly.
"It's Father!"
"He's calling us!"
"Pass the word: All soldiers gather. We're heading home!"
With no hesitation, they prepared to return—along with their hard-earned spoils from the battlefield.
