After the expedition to the Blood Refining World, cultivators above the True Lake Realm in the Nine Provinces could choose to enter the Peerless Continent and battle the Corpse Race, earning Merit by killing them.

It was unlike the beginning, when the entire Peerless Continent had Corpse Race members everywhere. One could casually go on a hunt and return with heaps of Merit.

When that time came, how were cultivators above the True Lake Realm supposed to cultivate? Without a means of earning Merit, they would have no way to exchange it for cultivation resources, and that would inevitably trigger a series of problems.
