I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 322: Millions of Merits! May the Blessings Shine! (Subscribe)

Under Lu Da's expectant and excited gaze, Chen Yan bid farewell to Lu Da and finally returned to his own secret training room.

The first thing Chen Yan did after returning to the secret training room was to send a sound transmission sword to Guo Tai. As for the content of the sound transmission sword, it was naturally about the whereabouts of the third-level spiritual mine [Red Copper Mine] and the [Demon Refining Sect] that had been wiped out a thousand years ago.

No matter which of these two pieces of news comes out, it will be fine for Chen Yan.

Of course it would be best to directly find out the location of the red copper mine. Even if you can't find it, it is not impossible to find out the news about the Demon Refining Sect.

As for why Chen Yan turned to Guo Tai for help.

This is naturally because Tianji Pavilion is a natural place for collecting information.

Even though the Tianji Pavilion branch in the Netherworld was only built a few years ago, it has already become the largest gathering center for the entire Netherworld.

Speaking of this, I have to digress a little. Thanks to the fact that the branch of Tianji Pavilion in the Netherworld is mainly built in Heishan City, and Guo Tai, the manager of Tianji Pavilion in the Netherworld, has always stayed in the Tianji Pavilion in Heishan City because of his relationship with Chen Yan. As for the Tianji Pavilion in the other eight states, they are just branches within branches.

As a result, Black Mountain City has become the largest city for independent cultivators in the entire Netherworld, including the Endless Sea cultivation world, in just a few years!
Black Mountain City expanded again and again, and eventually developed into a magnificent city that was no less powerful than any other provincial capital in Kyushu.

What is more interesting is that the lord of Black Mountain City is still the mountain king transformed from the black tiger. After so many years of practice, his cultivation has reached the perfection of refining essence into qi, and he is not far from refining qi into spirit.

Logically speaking, the mere perfection of refining essence into qi is simply not enough to control such a large city of independent cultivators.

Especially when the inner world was opened, there were continuous cultivators from the outside world coming to the Netherworld and the Jiuzhou cultivation world.

The weakest of these outside cultivators is at the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation, and among them there are even some Yin Shen realm masters who have reached the stage of Spirit Refining and Returning to Void.

As for these cultivators from other worlds, unless they have affiliated forces occupying territories like Li Shouyi, Bu Lingxu, Zhao Wuji and others, most of them are hanging around in the cities of various independent cultivators.

As the largest city of independent cultivators in the Netherworld, Black Mountain City is naturally the first choice for these outside cultivators to gather.

With all these arrogant and proud monks from the outside world gathered in Black Mountain City, the possibility of trouble is very high.

But over the years, Black Mountain City has been unexpectedly very peaceful. Although it is lively, no one has ever caused trouble.

Why is this?

You should know that before this, Chen Yan had not yet ranked first on the Earth List. Although he held the title of first on the Human List, in the eyes of the Yin Shen cultivators, the mere Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation was nothing.

But during those years, no one caused trouble in Heishan City, or no one dared to cause trouble.

All of this depends on Guo Tai, the manager of Tianji Pavilion in Heishan City.

To some extent, the nominal lord of Black Mountain City is Black Tiger, but the actual intimidator is Guo Tai himself.

At the beginning, there were outside cultivators causing trouble in Black Mountain City, and some of them were Yin Shen masters who had reached the level of returning to the void. But ever since Guo Tai stepped forward and killed the troublemaker Yin Shen cultivator with the power of thunder, no one dared to cause trouble in Black Mountain City anymore.

When Chen Yan heard about this after returning from the inner world, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He even sent a message to Guo Tai and jokingly hired him as the only guest official of Black Mountain City.

Then he was rejected by Guo Tai in a bad mood.

How could a manager of the Tianji Pavilion possibly become a guest official in a city? If this were to get out and other managers of the Tianji Pavilion knew about it, wouldn't they be laughing to death?
Closer to home.

However, it was precisely because of Guo Tai's move this time that the reputation of Black Mountain City was further enhanced, and Black Mountain City attracted more and more cultivators from outside and even local areas.

Chen Yan believed that with the capabilities of the Tianji Pavilion, even though Guo Tai had only been there for a few years, his ability to gather information must have far surpassed the forces under his command.

Furthermore, Guo Tai can also help ask the Taoist Alliance, Vajra Temple, and even Chongming Sect and Tianshi Sect.

Given the background of Tianji Pavilion, these forces are still very happy to give Guo Tai some face.

Not long after Chen Yan sent the message, he received a reply from Guo Tai. Guo Tai didn't ask Chen Yan what he wanted the red copper ore for or why he wanted to find out the news about the Demon Refining Sect. Instead, he simply replied that it was no problem and told Chen Yan to just wait for news.

With Guo Tai's reply, Chen Yan was barely relieved.

If even Guo Tai of the Tianji Pavilion was unable to find out information about the Red Copper Mine or the Demon Refining Sect, then Chen Yan felt that in such a huge Netherworld, there would probably be no other force that could find out these two pieces of information.

Having barely gotten rid of his worries, Chen Yan was finally able to focus on the Book of Merit.

Originally, Chen Yan wanted to take a look at his personal panel as early as when he destroyed the Ghost Crying Sect.

But I was constantly delayed by various things, and now I finally have time to check it, especially the merit points.

Having destroyed the Ghost Crying Sect, one of the four major demonic sects with a thousand-year-old foundation, Chen Yan was still very much looking forward to how many merit points he would get this time.

With a slight movement in his heart, Chen Yan's eyes became introverted, and his consciousness sank. After several years, Chen Yan came to the void space again.

Before I knew it, five years had passed since I last entered the void space.

Ever since he went into seclusion in Thunder Cliff in the inner world, Chen Yan had never seen the void space to check the Book of Merit again.

Although five years is but a blink of an eye compared to the thousand-year lifespan of a Yin Shen cultivator who is refining his spirit and returning to the void, when Chen Yan once again saw the Book of Merit that had stood eternally in the center of the void space, surrounded by the colorful aura of immortal spirits, a feeling of familiarity yet strangeness flashed in Chen Yan's eyes.

As Chen Yan's thoughts fell on the Book of Merit, the Book of Merit slowly opened.

Chen Yan looked directly at his own personal panel——

[Name: Chen Yan
Realm: Embracing the elixir (perfection), refining the spirit and returning to the void (first refining)
Skills: Five Grains and Qi Records (third level), Supreme Nine Heavens Jade Purity Great Brahma Purple Star Mysterious Capital Thunder Jade Sutra (tenth level), Nine Revolutions Mysterious Skills (sixth level)
Spells: Blood Demon Sword Technique (Supernatural Transformation), Wandering Dragon Step (Supernatural Transformation), Taiwei Eight Views (Dacheng), Five Thunder Spirit Sword Techniques (Dacheng)

Tiangang: Master the Five Thunders (Dacheng), Dive into the Abyss and Shrink the Earth (Xiao Cheng), Conquer the Nine Breaths (Dacheng)

Earth Evil: Kill Demons (Dacheng), Exorcise Gods (Dacheng), Hutian (Xiaocheng), Tongyou (Dacheng)
Items: Dragon Sparrow Sword (Immortal Embryo), Thunder Department Dusi Great Dharma Seal (Immortal Embryo, Broken), Wind and Thunder Sword for Killing Evil, Thousand Faces of Thousands of People, Binghuo Thunder God Cannon (Top-grade Spiritual Treasure), Golden Scale Armor (Top-grade Spiritual Treasure), Yinsha Ghost Head Sword (Top-grade Taoist Weapon)
Dao Fruit: Diamond Indestructible (incomplete), Five Thunderbolts (incomplete)
Merit: 1.02 million]

Basically, there wasn't any major changes when I just broke through. The only thing to mention was that I had an extra top-grade Taoist weapon, the Yinsha Ghost Head Sword.

This sect's treasure from the Guiku Sect was originally used by Jiang Li. Later, Jiang Li died at the hands of Chen Yan, and this top-grade Taoist weapon naturally fell into Chen Yan's hands.

Originally, the Guiku Sect had another sect treasure of the top-grade Taoist grade, the [Soul-Destroying Awl], which was wielded by the Guiku ancestor Gongsun Yang. However, in a battle with Chen Yan, it was melted completely by the Dragon Sparrow Soul transformed by the Dragon Sparrow Sword at first sight.

When Chen Yan saw such a top-grade Taoist weapon disappear like that, he felt heartbroken.

Even if he doesn't use it himself, it would be good to give it to Wang Lingguan and Yi Mu Lingti to improve their combat effectiveness, right?

It's a pity that it's gone.

The Yinsha Ghost-Headed Sword is compatible with Wang Lingguan's bronze-armored corpse, so in the end this top-grade Taoist weapon will definitely belong to Wang Lingguan for use.

As for the incarnation of Yimu spirit, we will have to wait for a while.

For the time being, skip the realm, skills and other columns and look directly at the merit points.

Then, Chen Yan was shocked!
His eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief!
A million merits! It actually exceeded a million merits!

If Chen Yan remembered correctly, after he had used up all his merit points last time, he had gained dozens or hundreds of points over the years, but the most had never exceeded 20,000.

but now.

The merit points directly exceeded one million, reaching an astonishing 1.02 million.

Needless to say, the extra one million merits must all come from the destruction of the Ghost Crying Sect.

The destruction of the Guiku Sect actually brought him a million merits in one go!
When he thought of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.

You know, last time he worked so hard to accumulate 500,000 merits, this time just destroying the Ghost Crying Sect brought him 1 million merits...

The Ghost Crying Sect is only one of the four major demon sects. In addition to the Ghost Crying Sect, there are three other demon sects in the four major demon sects...

How could Chen Yan not be moved by this?

After all, the Dragon Sparrow Sword still has one more chance to transform into a dragon sparrow spirit. In this way, even if it is the most powerful Chongming Sect, Chen Yan may be able to wipe out their entire clan!
Almost at the same time, the three ancestors of the four major demonic sects in the Endless Sea, namely the Chongming Sect, the Tianshi Sect, and the Huanxi Sect, all felt an ominous feeling enveloping their whole bodies at this moment, which made them shiver uncontrollably, and then they looked puzzled.

Don't understand what happened.

Little did they know that they had been targeted by certain people.

But in fact, it is not so easy for Chen Yan to obtain a million merits again.

Destroying the Ghost Crying Sect can gain one million merits at one time. This is due to the special nature of the Ghost Crying Sect. Ghost cultivators themselves must refine the souls of living beings and the dead to strengthen themselves. This also directly leads to the fact that each disciple of the Ghost Crying Sect is an executioner.

And what about the other three?

Even the Tianshi Sect, which comes into contact with corpses all day long, is not as sinful as the Guiku Sect.

This is true even for the most powerful Chongming Sect.

Of course, among the four major demonic sects, the Chongming Sect, the Tianshi Sect, and the Huanxi Sect, none of them are innocent.

Let’s talk about Chen Yan who temporarily put aside the thoughts in his mind and focused his attention back on the merit itself.

Looking at the one million merits, Chen Yan felt a surge of emotions.

Chen Yan couldn't help but open the latest page of the Book of Merit, wanting to see what changes would happen to his merit after it exceeded one million.

According to the previous rules.

Ten merits, one hundred merits, one thousand merits, ten thousand merits, and even one hundred thousand merits correspond to good fortune, small fortune, medium fortune, great fortune, and the blessing of the Heavenly Official.

Will there be new rewards for the million merits?
With a hint of curiosity and anticipation, Chen Yanhuan turned to the latest page of the Book of Merit.

As the pages of the Heavenly Book of Merit turned, a new line of small cloud seal characters slowly appeared:

"In the autumn of the 21st year of Chengping, the Ghost Crying Sect was destroyed, evil was punished and good was promoted, justice was done on behalf of heaven, blessings were returned, and merits and virtues amounted to millions."

This is an explanation of the millions of merits brought by the destruction of the Ghost Crying Sect.

Immediately following this line of small cloud seal characters, another line of small cloud seal characters appeared:
"With millions of merits and great fortune, you will be blessed with great luck."

Lucky star?!
Chen Yan's eyes lit up with a hint of curiosity.

The blessing from the Heavenly Official can bring about an improvement in one’s understanding, but what is this [Lucky Star]?

Thinking of this, Chen Yan was not in a hurry to redeem this lucky star, but instead thought about it and wanted to understand the specific explanation of this lucky star.

After a stick of incense.

Chen Yan withdrew his thoughts, but the doubt in his eyes remained. Instead, he became even more confused.

The reason is unknown. Regarding this [Lucky Star], the Book of Merit only gives four words - infinite blessings and good fortune.

Yes.

There is only eight words to explain it: "boundless blessings and good fortune."

In other words, good fortune seems to be able to improve one's luck and fortune?

But the Book of Merit does not clearly state to what extent the blessings and fortune have been improved.

Just an additional feedback. This boundless blessing and good fortune will only take effect once. After that, it will no longer have the effect. It is not permanently effective.

Blessings and luck are illusory things. Chen Yan knows that everyone has his or her own blessings and luck, but how much of a change the blessings and luck exchanged for one million merits can bring, Chen Yan has no way of knowing for the time being.

Therefore, when faced with this million merit reward, Chen Yan hesitated.

If all these one million merits were exchanged for [Blessings from Heavenly Officials], then Chen Yan could exchange them ten times at a time.

Doubling your understanding ten times is equivalent to thirty days.

Thirty days is enough time for Chen Yan to improve all his skills and spells, including the Tiangang spell and the Disha spell, to perfection. It is possible for some of them to even reach perfection.

But what if you redeem this [Lucky Star]?

It just exchanges for the blessing and luck that seems a little illusory.

It would be fine if you said that it improved blessings and luck, but Chen Yan didn't know how much it had improved. What's more, it could only take effect once and was not permanent.

Compared with the ten blessings from Heavenly Officials, this time's reward of one million merits seems to be much "worse".

This is also the reason why Chen Yan hesitated.

If all of the millions of merits were exchanged for enlightenment time, Chen Yan might be able to deduce the realm of enlightenment and seeing the gods, but with this lucky star, it seems that there is no improvement...

Chen Yan hesitated for a long time.

Finally, a decision was made.
