I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 319 Return! It turns out that I am the number one on the Earth Ranking?! (Subscribe)

Yushu Kan Leisha comes from Thunder Cliff in the inner world.

The last time in Thunder Cliff, Chen Yan obtained more than two thousand six hundred strands of Yushu Kan Leisha at one time.

Later, Chen Yan used one thousand strands to break through himself, and now he has less than one thousand six hundred strands left.

This time, Chen Yan took out 500 strands of the remaining 1,600 strands of Yushu Kan Lei Sha and gave them to Wang Lingguan, allowing him to break through and return to the void.

As for why it is not a fire-attributed Earthly Evil such as Qianyang Lihuo Evil, it is because the Dragon Sparrow Sword itself has a great demand for fire-attributed Earthly Evil. It is impossible for Chen Yan to give up the Dragon Sparrow Spirit, a Yang God means, to allow Wang Lingguan to refine and break through.

Although Wang Lingguan's breakthrough into the Yin God realm was of great help to Xiangzhou, he was still far inferior to the Dragon Bird Spirit which possessed the combat power of the Yang God.

Besides, for a cultivator to break through to the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, it is not necessary for him to use the compatible Earthly Evil Yin Meridian.

For cultivators who have perfected the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation Stage, their breakthrough to the Spirit Refining and Returning to Void Stage is simply to use the power of the Yin Meridians in the Earthly Evil to condense the Yin Spirit.

As for the nature of this Earthly Evil, it actually doesn't have much impact.

The only thing that has an impact is the rank of the Earthly Fiend.

The top-grade Yushu Kan Lei Sha among the best-grade ones is even more effective for Wang Lingguan in breaking through the spirit refining and returning to the void than the compatible Qianyang Li Fire Sha.

Five hundred strands are more than enough.

Even though Chen Yan had consumed nearly a thousand strands, he felt that the number of Earthly Evil Yin Meridians needed for a Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation cultivator to break through to the Spirit Refining and Return to Void was huge.

In fact, for most of the cultivators who have achieved perfection in Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, the number of Earthly Evil Yin Veins needed to break through the Yin God Realm is mostly only around a hundred.

For geniuses like Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji, and Bu Lingxu, the number of Earthly Evil Yin Veins required to break through to the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void would be only five hundred.

This is because geniuses like Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji, Bu Lingxu, who come from top Yang God forces, mostly practice the innate skills that are directly aimed at the Yang God. They have a profound foundation, and their souls are inherently much stronger than those of ordinary cultivators, so naturally they consume more Earthly Evil Yin Veins.

But five hundred strands is the maximum.

The reason why Chen Yan consumed thousands of strands was because he had obtained the Dao Fruit, Vajra Indestructibility, one step ahead of time.

In addition, Chen Yan is a second-life human being, and his soul is naturally stronger than others, so he consumes so many Earthly Evil Yin Veins. Otherwise, with the "Thunder Jade Sutra", the sect's signature Yang Shen technique of the Shenxiao Sect, the number of Earthly Evil Yin Veins consumed by Chen Yan would actually be not much different from that of Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji and others.

Wang Lingguan's true form is a copper-armored corpse. It is because of the fusion of Wang Lingguan's painting spirit that the qualifications of this copper-armored corpse have been improved. However, no matter how much it is improved, five hundred strands of Earthly Evil Yin Veins are the limit.

Not to mention that the earth vein power of top-grade Earth Fiends is stronger than those of middle-grade and low-grade Earth Fiends. Five hundred strands of Yushu Kan Lei Fiends are even stronger than a thousand strands of ordinary middle-grade Earth Fiends.

Looking at the red flame lotus in his hand and the porcelain bottle containing the Jade Pivot Kan Lei Sha, Wang Lingguan's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he nodded heavily at Chen Yan and said a number:
“March at most!”

"In three months, I will definitely break through to the Soul Refining and Return to the Void!"

"Okay! I'm looking forward to seeing you in three months."

Chen Yan smiled and answered with an affirmative look.

Afterwards, Chen Yan left Wang Lingguan alone in this extremely dark place, while Chen Yan himself returned to the gate of Guikumen along the same route he came.

Afterwards, Four-Winged Cicada, Xu Ji and the Black Mist Peng family swept almost all the sea areas within a thousand miles of Ghost Crying Island.

All the stubborn and restless elements who were loyal to the Ghost Crying Sect suffered devastating blows from Four-Winged Cicada and Xu Ji.

As for those fence-sitters who were not die-hard fans, seeing that there was no hope for the Ghost Crying Sect at all, they naturally surrendered and expressed their loyalty to Chen Yan.

Among these forces, there were even some family disciples who died at the hands of Chen Yan or Xu Ji and others under Chen Yan. The 50,000-strong army led by Jiang Li of the Ghost Crying Sect, except for the 30,000 disciples of the Ghost Crying Sect, the other 20,000 troops were basically shared by these forces.

But now that they saw that Chen Yan had destroyed the Ghost Crying Sect, these forces dared not cause trouble for Chen Yan. Just like the Black Mist Peng family, they never mentioned the death of their disciples and completely forgot about it.

It is worth mentioning that during the process of Four-Winged Cicada and Xu Ji taking over the forces around Ghost Island, the Black Mist Peng family performed particularly hard, perhaps to show their loyalty.

Especially the only one of the Black Mist Peng family who had reached the stage of Qi Refining and Transformation into a Spirit, Peng Qiufan, the patriarch of the Peng family, was always at the forefront.

Chen Yan has always been generous in rewarding those who can see the situation clearly. He personally told Peng Qiufan that as long as his Peng family could guard Ghost Island for him, then when he completed the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, there would be no problem in rewarding him with the Earthly Evil Yin Meridian to help him break through the Spirit Refining and Return to the Void.

Of course, the Earthly Evil Yin Vein that Chen Yan promised to send out could not be the Yushu Kan Thunder Evil, nor the Qianyang Li Fire Evil, but the lower-grade Corpse Evil, Red Evil, White Evil and so on.

Chen Yan had harvested quite a few of these kinds of Earthly Fiends from the inner world last time, and he even found two or three hundred of them in the treasure house of the Guiku Sect.

I don't know, I was taken aback.

Chen Yan suddenly realized that he had nearly a thousand strands of low-grade Earthly Fiends that he could not use temporarily.

Of course Chen Yan himself looked down upon these low-grade Earthly Fiends, but they were very suitable for trading or as rewards to his subordinates.

Peng Qiufan almost jumped up with excitement when he heard this. With a red face, he patted his chest and excitedly assured that as long as he, Peng Qiufan, was still alive and as long as his Peng family was still there, the only person on this Ghost Island would be named Chen!
Chen Yan was naturally very satisfied with this.

In fact, it doesn’t matter to him whether the Peng family and Peng Qiufan are loyal or not. He just needs to indirectly control Ghost Island. Fortunately, there is a springboard in the Endless Sea cultivation world.

After conquering the thousand-mile sea area within the Ghost Crying Island, Chen Yan’s journey to the Endless Sea was basically over.

For a long time afterwards, Chen Yan's focus will be on Xiangzhou and the other side of the world.

After reorganizing the Dragon Sparrow Army, he deliberately left two hundred Dragon Sparrow Army soldiers at Guixiao Peak to protect Wang Lingguan who was in seclusion. He also specifically instructed Peng Qiufan and told him that no one was allowed to approach Guixiao Peak. Then Chen Yan took Siyi Hanchan, Xu Ji and others and embarked on the journey back to Xiangzhou.

Compared with the forced march on the way here, Chen Yan did not deliberately rush on the way back, so it took him nearly a month to get back to Xiangzhou from the Endless Sea.

As soon as I returned to Laoshan, I saw Guo Tai greet me with a wry smile and a bow:

"Master Chen asked me to wait for a while."

As he said this, Guo Tai couldn't help but look at Chen Yan, whom he hadn't seen for several years.

More than five years have passed, and the appearance of this prominent young man who is famous throughout the three thousand worlds does not seem to have changed at all, except that he looks much more mature. He no longer has the youthful immaturity of the past, but instead has an indescribable depth and solemnity.

However, what caught Guo Tai's attention the most was the powerful aura that Chen Yan exuded.

Feeling the Yin God's aura that was exactly the same as his own, even though he had known it for a long time, Guo Tai couldn't help but feel shocked inside.

As expected, he had broken through to the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, and in five years he had become a master of Yin spirit!
Guo Tai sighed inwardly, and Chen Yan on the opposite side also smiled slightly and said politely:
"How come Manager Guo is free today? Come to my Laoshan for a while?"

Guo Tai, with his belly sticking out, shook his head and said, "Master Chen, you still don't know what happened, right?"

Chen Yan was stunned and looked at Guo Tai in confusion:
"What's wrong?"

Guo Tai did not answer immediately, but glanced at the red spirit ship behind Chen Yan, then nodded and said:

"Did Master Chen just come back from the Endless Sea?"

"Exactly."

Chen Yan nodded calmly.

Chen Yan had no intention of hiding the fact that the Ghost Crying Sect had been destroyed. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't have concealed it.

One month was enough time for the news of the destruction of the Ghost Crying Sect to spread throughout the underworld.

Chen Yan was not surprised that Guo Tai knew about this. Seeing Chen Yan admit it himself, Guo Tai couldn't help but ask with a cryptic expression:
"Master Chen, the ancestor of the Ghost Crying Sect, the Nine-Refined Yin God..."

"already dead."

Chen Yan replied with a smile.

No one will say how he died. Let the outside world guess how he died.

One of his purposes in killing Gongsun Yang was to shock the entire underworld and foreign monks.

really!

Hearing what Chen Yan said, Guo Tai immediately showed an expression that was not what he expected.

He did not ask further questions about this issue. He asked Chen Yan how he killed a Yin Shen Nine Refinement cultivator with Yin Shen One Refinement. This is a core secret of any cultivator, and he would not tell it even to the closest people, let alone others.

Seeing Chen Yan admit it himself, Guo Tai's bitter smile became even more intense. He pointed at Chen Yan and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but did not say it for a long time.

In the end, he just shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Master Chen, you really did something huge..."

"What a big deal?"

This time it was Chen Yan's turn to be puzzled. He looked at Guo Tai with some doubts and said inexplicably:
"This Ghost Crying Sect should not be well-known, and to Yang God forces like you, it's just a Yin God Nine Refinement, and a Yin God Nine Refinement who is about to die of old age. It shouldn't mean anything, right?"

"Of course, the Nine Refinements of Yin God is nothing, but Master Chen, you fought against a master of the Nine Refinements of Yin God with the talent of the First Refinement of Yin God. This is an unprecedented and most likely unparalleled feat. It is a huge 'matter' for us!"

Hearing Chen Yan say this, Guo Tai couldn't help but rolled his eyes, looking at Chen Yan with an unsure whether he was envy or jealousy, and said in a gloomy tone.

"Forehead……"

After listening to Guo Tai's words, Chen Yan inexplicably had a bad feeling in his heart:

"Could it be..."

However, Guo Tai on the opposite side did not say anything else. Instead, he took out a jade slip from the mustard seed bag and handed it to Chen Yan, saying in a deep voice:
"This is the latest list of heaven, earth and people. Lord Chen will know it at a glance."

With a bad premonition, Chen Yan took the jade slip and separated a bit of his spiritual consciousness into it.

Not surprisingly, his name is no longer on the list.

Chen Yan still had some vague memories of the rules of the three lists of heaven, earth and man.

It is known that the Human List only records the cultivators at the stage of Refining Qi into Spirit, and that it is more inclined towards talent and aptitude, so the Human List is also known as the List of Prodigies and the List of Hidden Dragons.

The only person Chen Yan paid attention to on the Human List was the current No. 1 on the list. He saw Zhao Wuji’s name.

The moment Chen Yan saw that Zhao Wuji was number one on the human list, he suddenly realized.

No wonder Zhao Wuji's mentality fluctuated so much when he heard that he was Chen Yan when they first met.

The second one who has been suppressed for so long and is a little-known "little person", how could his mentality not be affected when they meet?
After looking at the human list, Chen Yan did not stop and set his sights on the earth list.

After all, he had personally killed a Yin Shen third-level refinement man, and indirectly killed a Yin Shen ninth-level refinement "genius". It wouldn't be excessive for him to be on the Earth List ahead of time, right?
I just don't know what place he is on the Earth Ranking...

I should be able to get into the top 20...

At least judging from Guo Tai's expression, there is a high probability that Chen Yan will be on the list, and his ranking should not be low.

Chen Yan estimated that the top 20 was about right, and any higher would be a bit too ostentatious.

Chen Yan thought with some uncertainty, but his eyes did not stop, looking all the way up from the end of the list.

When Chen Yan saw that his name was not in the top 20, he remained calm.

But when he saw that his name was not on the list of tenth place, Chen Yan's heart couldn't help but be a little moved.

Judging from Mr. Guo’s tone, Chen Yan must be on the list, otherwise Mr. Guo would not have asked this question.

But I saw the tenth place but didn’t see my name…

Could it be that it made it into the top ten?
hiss--

Wouldn’t it be a bit too ostentatious?
Chen Yan thought about it and looked up from the tenth place.

However, the more he looked at Chen Yan, the heavier his heart felt, and the heavier his mood became, and the stronger his bad premonition became.

When Chen Yan saw that his name was not on the third place list, he became completely upset.

What the hell...

Isn't it going to reach the top again?!

Chen Yan himself couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked directly at the number one on the Earth List.

As expected, a familiar line of words caught my eye.

[Chen Yan, in the early stage of soul refining and returning to the void (first level of Yin soul refining), belongs to the world - the netherworld...]

Chen Yan rubbed his eyes hard, feeling a little unbelievable.

When he confirmed again and again that he was not mistaken, Chen Yan could not help but look up at Guo Tai, who had a gloomy look on his face, like a little complaining woman, and could not help but say:

"No. 1 on the Earth Ranking?"

Guo Tai nodded expressionlessly.

"I?"

Chen Yan pointed at himself again.

Guo Tai nodded again.

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

"hiss--"

Chen Yan took three deep breaths, as if he felt Guo Tai's resentful gaze. Chen Yan couldn't help but cough lightly and touched the tip of his nose awkwardly:
"I said I don't actually want the first place, do you believe me?"

Guo Tai replied expressionlessly:
"What do you say?"
