I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 374 Chen Yan disappeared from the Earth Ranking! (Subscribe)
“Although it may sound a bit disrespectful, to be honest, I am still very curious about what this Yangshen senior who was able to survive the nine-fold thunder tribulation looks like. I really want to see his demeanor.”

As soon as Bu Lingxu finished speaking, he was immediately agreed by Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji and even the young monk Tianyin. Even Ao Shuang, who was the last one to come, cast a vague glance over at him.

Obviously, everyone present was quite curious about this mysterious man who had successfully survived nine levels of thunder tribulation and achieved the status of Yangshen Zhenjun.

But how could Chen Yan allow Yi Mu's spirit to show up?
Although Yi Mu's spirit body has almost no reputation in the cultivation world, there are many people who have seen Yi Mu's spirit body in Xiangzhou. Many people even know that Yi Mu's spirit body is most likely Chen Yan's clone, but they all keep it to themselves.

If Yi Mu's spirit shows up and reveals his Yang God cultivation, wouldn't that reveal that Chen Yan's clone has already reached the Yang God level?
What is the difference between Chen Yan's clone breaking through the Yang Shen and Chen Yan himself breaking through the Yang Shen?
Of course Chen Yan would not allow Yi Mu's spirit to appear.

Therefore, seeing the curious eyes of Bu Lingxu, Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji, Tianyin Little Monk, Ao Shuang and others looking at him, Chen Yan smiled calmly and bowed with a slightly apologetic tone:

"My elder has suffered some serious injuries from the impact on Yang Shen. He is now in seclusion in this valley to heal his injuries. He will not be able to show up in the short term."

"Maybe later. There will be a chance later."

Chen Yan smiled slightly.

His words revealed two meanings.

One is that Yi Mu's spirit body was injured and he needs to retreat to heal. He will definitely not be able to see people in the short term. As for when he can be seen, we will talk about it when the time comes.

The second meaning is that this valley has become the base of Yangshen Zhenjun, and everyone present should consider whether they can afford the wrath of Yangshen Zhenjun who has survived nine levels of thunder tribulation if they rashly break in.

Of course, Li Shouyi and others would not intrude. Chen Yan wanted to express an attitude, which was to designate the Jinsang Valley and even the entire Jinsang Secret Realm as belonging to his Xiangzhou.

It’s just that Chen Yan said it very tactfully.

If Chen Yan had said this before, Li Shouyi, Bu Lingxu and others present might have agreed, but they would definitely be unhappy in their hearts.

But after Yi Mu's spirit body successfully broke through Yang Shen, the problem became completely different.

What's wrong with a dignified Yangshen occupying a "small" secret realm?
opposite.

Hearing what Chen Yan said, Bu Lingxu, Li Shouyi and the others all had a trace of regret on their faces, but they couldn't force the dignified Yangshen Zhenjun to see them, right?

At the same time, they all heard the hidden meaning of Chen Yan's words, and they all bowed politely and nodded in response:
"We were just being rude. Since you are injured, you should heal your wounds first. As for this secret place, we will definitely restrict our disciples from entering it when we return."

Seeing Li Shouyi, Bu Lingxu and others being so understanding, Chen Yan also showed a kind smile on his face.

I have to say, when your strength reaches a certain level, you will find that everyone around you is full of kindness.

Chen Yan also bowed politely:

"Thank you very much for your tolerance."

"No matter what, it's all our responsibility."

Both sides exchanged polite words with each other, and the scene was very harmonious.

Finally, thinking that the matter was over, Chen Yan clasped his fists and gestured to Li Shouyi, Bu Lingxu and the others:

"It's getting late, and I have things to do. I'll talk to you guys later when I have time. Forgive me for leaving first today."

Li Shouyi smiled slightly, his white robe fluttering in the wind, and he also bowed, and replied politely:
"If you have time, Fellow Daoist Chen, you can come to Lingxufang of our Dao League for a chat. I will certainly welcome you."

Bu Lingxu also blinked at Chen Yan and said in a teasing tone:
"If I go to visit you in Xiangzhou someday, I hope you won't chase me away."

Chen Yan burst into laughter and said:

"I will definitely treat you with good wine and delicious food."

On the other side, the little monk Tianyin looked at Chen Yan with sparkling eyes. He clasped his hands together like a little adult and chanted the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha, Mr. Chen, see you later."

Chen Yan smiled slightly, and then his tone became serious:
"Master Tianyin, I will always remember that promise. If you need me, you can always come to me."

Chen Yan would never forget that the Dao Fruit 'Dharma Throwing the Whale' on him was thanks to the other party.

After hearing the conversation between Chen Yan and the young monk Tianyin, Li Shouyi and others were all moved, with a hint of curiosity, wondering what kind of story had happened between Chen Yan and the young monk Tianyin.

But Li Shouyi and the others also knew that this was a secret between Chen Yan and the young monk Tianyin, so they did not open their mouths to get to the bottom of it.

Chen Yan's eyes fell on Zhao Wuji again, he smiled, clasped his fists and said:
"I'll have a drink with Brother Zhao next time."

A flash of excitement flashed across Zhao Wuji's face, and then he nodded solemnly:
"it is good!"

Finally, Chen Yan looked at Ao Shuang, who was the last one to fall, with a strange look in his eyes.

It is rumored that this person is from the Dragon Palace in Canglan Realm. In other words, although the person in front of him looks like a human, in fact, he is most likely a dragon.

Dragon Palace...

I don’t know what the relationship is between them and the sea people.

The Canglan Realm doesn’t seem to be far from the three realms controlled by the sea race…

There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but Chen Yan remained calm on his face, and politely bowed to Ao Shuang:

"See you later."

Ao Shuang also had a strange look in his eyes and raised his hand, and replied politely:

"See you later."

Afterwards, Chen Yan did not delay any longer. He brought Wang Lingguan and Yi Mu's spirit body with him, clasped his fists and gestured again to Li Shouyi, Bu Lingxu and the others, then disappeared from everyone's sight.

Looking at the backs of Chen Yan and the other two as they left, Li Shouyi and the others were all silent, with different thoughts in their minds.

Li Shouyi felt a huge pressure. When Chen Yan just came out of Jinsang Valley, he was clearly only at the second level of Yin Shen, but the moment he saw Chen Yan, Li Shouyi's spiritual sense was frantically giving warnings. Li Shouyi had only felt this situation with Yang Shen Zhenjun.

Is Chen Yan the True Lord Yangshen?
How can it be? !
In fact, as early as when Chen Yan came out, whether it was Li Shouyi, Bu Lingxu, Zhao Wuji, the little monk Tianyin and even Ao Shuang, they had all secretly investigated Chen Yan's cultivation.

After all, they were also wondering whether it was possible that Chen Yan was hiding his cultivation level, and in fact, the mysterious Yangshen Zhenjun who had survived the nine-fold thunder tribulation was Chen Yan.

But without exception, the result is the second refining of the Yin Spirit.

The cultivation level that Chen Yan displayed was the second level of Yin Spirit Refining. This was absolutely true and could not be false.

However, Li Shouyi felt a sense of oppression from a Yin Shen second-level cultivator that was equivalent to that of a Yang Shen Zhenjun. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Li Shouyi would never believe it even if he was beaten to death.

But the facts forced him to believe it.

I thought that after breaking through the Yin God, I would be on the same starting line as Chen Yan, but now...

Li Shouyi sighed heavily and smiled bitterly.

How can we be at the same starting line? It's clear that we are getting further and further apart.

Bu Lingxu didn't care. He even looked at Zhao Wuji with a joking look, and said teasingly: "Zhao Wuji, didn't you always want to fight with Chen Daoyou in the past? Why are you so 'honest' when you meet him today?"

At this point, Bu Lingxu looked at Zhao Wuji suspiciously:
"You weren't beaten up by Daoist Chen in private, were you?"

Zhao Wuji looked at Bu Lingxu expressionlessly without saying anything. He just pointed his finger and slashed with the sword.

"You are such a good fellow, Zhao Wuji! Do you think my Qingyun Sect is afraid of your Yuling Sword Mountain?!"

Bu Lingxu let out a strange cry and dodged quickly.

The young monk Tianyin shook his head helplessly, feeling that donor Chen was much more stable in character.

Ao Shuang was left staring at Chen Yan's departing back for a long time without saying a word, his mind in turmoil.

Is this person who is number one on the Earth List really only at the second level of Yin Spirit Refinement?

Just when Zhao Wuji and Bu Lingxu were in a fight and it was hard to tell who would win, and Li Shouyi and the young monk Tianyin were unable to persuade them no matter what.

Just at this moment——

Almost at the same time, several rays of light came rushing from the distant sky, and their target was Li Shouyi and others!

When the light faded, revealing their true appearance under the spiritual light, they were actually a series of sound transmission note swords.

These sound transmission talisman swords landed almost simultaneously on the sides of Li Shouyi, Bu Lingxu, Zhao Wuji, and the young monk Tianyin. Except for Ao Shuang, who had no territory and subordinates, the other four people all had sound transmission talisman swords.

The sudden and strange appearance of four sound transmission swords at the same time attracted the attention of Li Shouyi and others. Even Bu Lingxu and Zhao Wuji who were fighting stopped involuntarily and looked at the four sound transmission swords.

The four of them looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Needless to say, these sound transmission notes and swords were all sent by their various forces. It was obvious that something major had happened in the cultivation world and they needed to be notified.

But what is there that deserves such attention?
With this doubt, Li Shouyi and the other three took the sound transmission note sword, probed their spiritual consciousness into it, and read the contents of the sound transmission note sword.

After a while, Li Shouyi and the other three withdrew their attention from the sound transmission sword, with a look of surprise on their faces, and a hint of deep doubt and confusion.

Seeing the complicated expressions of Li Shouyi and the other three, Ao Shuang, who was naturally cold-hearted, began to lose her composure. She frowned slightly and asked:

"What? What happened?"

Li Shouyi held the sound transmission sword in one hand, with a look of confusion on his face:
"Chen Daoyou, he..."

"What's up with him?"

Ao Shuang continued to ask.

In the end, Bu Lingxu said doubtfully and puzzledly:

"The Tianji Pavilion has released the latest three lists of heaven, earth and man. Chen Yan, who was originally ranked first on the earth list, is no longer on the list."

After Bu Lingxu said this, Li Shouyi, Zhao Wuji, and the young monk Tianyin all nodded heavily.

The sound transmission swords they each received also said the same thing.

"Not on the Earth Ranking anymore?"

Ao Shuang frowned deeply.

Li Shou nodded, with confusion in his eyes:
"To be precise, it is no longer on the list of Heaven, Earth and Man."

Hearing what Li Shouyi said, Ao Shuang's brows furrowed.

As mentioned earlier, among the three lists of Heaven, Earth and Man published by the Tianji Pavilion, generally speaking, there are only two possible situations in which one may be removed from the list.

One is death, and the other is a breakthrough in cultivation.

The exact same phenomenon had occurred to Chen Yan before.

But later on, Chen Yan almost immediately made it onto the Earth Ranking.

Because at that time Chen Yan's cultivation level had broken through from refining Qi into spirit to refining spirit returning to emptiness.

but now.

Chen Yan is clearly still at the second stage of Yin Spirit Refining and has not yet broken through to Yang Spirit.

But since he didn’t break through to the Yang God realm, Chen Yan couldn’t be dead, right?

If Chen Yan died.

Who was the person who was chatting happily with them just now?

It's impossible that Chen Yan died in just a short while, right?
"You say, is it possible... that the mysterious person who broke through to Yang Shen is Fellow Daoist Chen?"

Bu Lingxu said in a deep voice.

Before Bu Lingxu finished speaking, Li Shouyi shook his head and said in a firm tone:
"Impossible. I have just confirmed it with a secret method. Fellow Daoist Chen's cultivation is undoubtedly the second level of Yin God Refinement. It is impossible for him to be Yang God."

Since the Taoist leader of the Taoist Alliance said so, Bu Lingxu and others naturally would not doubt it.

But since he didn’t break through to the Yang God level, why did Chen Yan disappear from the Earth List?

It's impossible that Chen Yan really died in just a short while, right?

Just when Bu Lingxu and the others were thinking hard, Zhao Wuji interrupted and said:

“This is actually not entirely unprecedented.”

Seeing Zhao Wuji speak, Li Shouyi and others looked over, only to hear Zhao Wuji continue:
"I remember that a similar situation happened in the Tianji Pavilion before. At that time, the person who was on the list suddenly fell off the list. However, he was not dead and had not made any breakthroughs. However, he was not on the three lists of heaven, earth and man. This was because this person practiced an extremely powerful method to conceal the secrets of heaven. Even the Tianji Pavilion's Tianji tablet could not check it."

Having said this, Zhao Wuji looked at Li Shouyi and others and said:
"And I'm sure you all know that the Heavenly Ranking is extremely inaccurate. In fact, there are many hidden Yangshen Zhenjuns in the Three Thousand Worlds. They just practice secret methods and are unknown to the Heavenly Secret Monument."

"Perhaps, Brother Chen is in a similar situation."

After hearing what Zhao Wuji said, Li Shouyi and others nodded in sudden realization, thinking that it made a lot of sense.

There are thirty-six Yangshen True Lords on the Heavenly Ranking, but in fact, there are some old hidden Yangshen True Lords in the Three Thousand Worlds. These Yangshen True Lords have the strength to be on the list, but they have also practiced secret techniques and cannot be detected by the Heavenly Secret Monument. This is no secret among the top Yangshen forces.

After all, to put it bluntly, the Three Lists of Heaven, Earth and Man come from the immortal artifact Tianji Tablet, and the Tianji Tablet is just an ordinary immortal artifact. Those old-fashioned Yangshen Zhenjun with a long heritage have no shortage of means to conceal their own secrets and hide them from the Tianji Tablet.

Maybe Chen Yan has mastered some secret method to conceal the secrets of heaven, so he is no longer being monitored by the Heavenly Secret Monument?
Just when Li Shouyi and others were making a reasonable guess as to why Chen Yan disappeared from the Earth List, the outside world was also stirred up by the fact that Chen Yan disappeared from the Heaven, Earth and Man Lists.
