I have a heavenly book of merit and virtue

Chapter 409: Super large ruins come into being!
Chen Yan had no fear at all towards this kind of Yangshen Zhenjun.

No matter how advanced these Yang Shen cultivators are, they are still old and weak, and the Yang Shen power they can exert is not much. They may even be less powerful than Blood Vajra Pang Heng and Master Yin Yu. Chen Yan will not be afraid at all when facing such Yang Shen True Lords.

The ones who could make Chen Yan feel pressured were the Yangshen Zhenjuns from the big and powerful sects.

Such as Master Hongye of the Taoist Alliance, Master Fahua of the Vajra Temple, Master Bikong of the Qingyun Sect... and so on, including the guardian of the Rebirth Sect who was in the late Yangshen stage, these talents require Chen Yan to treat with caution.

These True Yangshen Lords who come from famous sects not only have profound cultural backgrounds, but also the techniques they practice are top-notch. In addition, they are in their prime years. It can be said that any True Yangshen Lord who comes from a top-level Yangshen force can fight one against two or even three Yangshen Lords who practice casual cultivation.

These are the great Yangshen monks who make Chen Yan feel extremely pressured.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no strong people among the independent cultivators.

There must be Yang Gods among the independent Yang God cultivators who are no weaker than those from famous sects. It's just that compared to the Yang God True Lords who come from these top Yang God forces, the number of powerful independent Yang God cultivators is very scarce, and the probability of them appearing in the Netherworld is even smaller. Each of them has a great reputation in the Netherworld.

Closer to home.

Although during this period of time nearly twenty Yangshen Zhenjun suddenly descended into the underworld, bringing considerable pressure to Chen Yan.

But no matter what, Chen Yan has done what he should do.

When his peers were still in the early stages of Yin God, Chen Yan had already entered the ninth level of Yin God. What was waiting for him now was the news of the natural treasures with the most Yang attributes.

It is worth mentioning that I don’t know whether it was influenced by Chen Yan’s destruction of Yinyu Villa and the successive elimination of two Yangshen Zhenjun.

Although the number of Yangshen Zhenjun descending upon the Netherworld increased dramatically during this period, the unrest in the Netherworld did not show an explosive growth.

Those Yangshen Zhenjun who descended to the netherworld all tacitly kept silent, but quietly entered the inner world and basically did not stay outside Jiuzhou.
-
In the world of the netherworld, the headquarters of the Taoist Alliance, Lingxufang.

"We respectfully welcome our uncle-master to come!"

A group of Taoist League disciples, led by Li Shouyi, stood in front of Lingxufang and respectfully saluted a figure who had come from afar.

In Lingxufang, all the independent cultivators gathered there looked over here, curious about who was the person who deserved such serious treatment from Li Shouyi and others.

Soon, the figure arrived above Lingxufang.

This person turned out to be a gentle and elegant young man with delicate features, wearing a green shirt, with a high nose bridge, a faint but noticeable smile on the corner of his mouth, and light steps, as if he had walked out of a painting.

This person was none other than Master Hongye, one of the three current Yang Gods of the Taoist Alliance, who came all the way from the Xuanhuang World.

Although Hongye Zhenjun of the Dao League is not as famous as his senior brother Li Daoxuan, Hongye Zhenjun is also a rare genius that appears once in five hundred years.

If Master Hongye had not focused his attention on music, chess, calligraphy and painting after breaking through to the Yang God realm, his senior brother Li Daoxuan once said that if Master Hongye had devoted himself to cultivation wholeheartedly, his cultivation would have been far superior to his own.

Despite this, True Lord Hongye is still a great cultivator of the late Yang God stage who has reached the seventh level of Yang God, and is ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking, exactly at the tenth position.

When Master Hongye saw Li Shouyi and the others coming out of the city to greet him, a smile appeared on his face. When he saw that Li Shouyi's cultivation had reached the fifth level of Yin Shen Refining, his smile became even wider, and he said with a touch of praise:
"Shouyi, you are worthy of being a rare genius in our Taoist Alliance in a thousand years. Your achievements have surpassed my senior brother and I at that time. When my senior brother and I were your age, we didn't have the cultivation level you have now."

If it were before he came to the Netherworld, hearing such praise from Master Hongye, even someone as humble as Li Shouyi could not help but reveal a hint of pride.

After all, even Bu Lingxu, Zhao Wuji and others had only reached the fourth stage of Yin Shen refinement at this time. He was able to break through to the fifth stage of Yin Shen refinement before others in such a short time, which was enough to show Li Shouyi's hard work and talent.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the best of the younger generation in the three thousand worlds.

But all this has a premise, that is, the premise that the person does not exist...

But now...

Hearing the praise from Master Hongye, Li Shouyi couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Master, you are too kind. Compared with that Master Chen, I am far inferior."

When he said the three words "far inferior", a hint of bitterness appeared at the corners of Li Shouyi's mouth.

After all, he, the great Li Shouyi, is the current Taoist of the Taoist Alliance and a favored child of heaven.

But now, he felt a despairing pressure from one person again and again.

no way.

I can’t catch up, I really can’t catch up.

If Li Shouyi still had a glimmer of hope to compete with Chen Yan before he destroyed Yinyu Villa and killed two Yangshen Zhenjun in succession.

But after hearing that Chen Yan still possessed combat power comparable to Yang Shen, the current Taoist disciple of the Taoist Alliance completely gave up the idea of ​​comparing himself with others.

Yes.

He, Li Shouyi, is a genius.

But how can a genius be compared with evildoers and monsters?

Yes.

In Li Shouyi's view, Chen Yan is like a demon and a monster.

Being able to advance from the stage of refining Qi into Spirit to the stage of refining Void and merging with Dao with Yang God combat power in such a short period of time, just ten years, what else could he be but a monster?
No matter how talented Li Shouyi is, he is just an ordinary man, an "ordinary person", and cannot be compared with a monster.

Li Shouyi believed that he was not the only one who felt this way. He believed that Bu Lingxu, Zhao Wuji and others also had the same idea.

On the other side, Master Hongye seemed to have sensed the bitterness on his disciple's face, and a hint of interest appeared on his face:
"Oh? Shouyi, is the 'Master Chen' you mentioned the same as Chen Yan who once topped the Earth Ranking?"

"To reply to my uncle-master, it is this person."

Li Shouyi bowed his head respectfully.

"I heard of this man when I was in Xuanhuang Realm. I heard that this 'Master Chen' has become even more famous recently. Is he as powerful as me?"

The smile on Master Hongye's face remained unchanged, and his interest became even stronger. He was not angry at all that his disciple was suppressed by others, and seemed very calm.

This level of self-cultivation alone is far beyond that of many Yangshen Zhenjun.

Opposite Master Hongye, Li Shouyi saw that his uncle-master was very interested, so he explained how Chen Yan successively killed two Master Yangshen and destroyed a Yangshen force.

After listening to Li Shouyi's story, Master Hongye couldn't help but marvel:
"Tsk tsk, if that's the case, this 'Master Chen' is really a legend. The last time I heard of such a person was when I heard of the Taoist friend Corpse Dog from [Huangquan]. I didn't expect that this 'Master Chen' seems to be even stronger than Taoist friend Corpse Dog. It's true that every generation has its own talents..."

But at this point, Master Hongye changed the subject and looked at his disciples and said:

“But Shouyi, you don’t have to be too self-deprecating. In fact, every three thousand years, there will be a genius like this. The previous generation was the corpse dog, and this generation seems to be Chen Yan. People like this often have great luck. Even if you are born in my Taoist League, you can’t compare with them, but this does not mean that you will never catch up.” Having said this, Master Hongye smiled and glanced at Li Shouyi, and continued:

“Just like Senior Brother, Senior Brother was also like you today, suppressed by the Yellow Spring Corpse Dog for hundreds of years. But today, although the Corpse Dog still ranks first on the Heavenly Ranking, Senior Brother Daoxuan is also a Yang God Great Perfection, and is also following closely behind this Taoist Corpse Dog.

In today's world of 3,000, who can be sure that Corpse Dog will be able to break through to the Immortal level before Senior Brother Daoxuan?"

“No one can be sure.”

"So it is the same for you. Although Chen Yan is already one step ahead of you, or even two steps ahead, it does not mean that you will never catch up. As long as you do not give up, in a few years, becoming an immortal will be the final destination of your competition with him!"

Master Hongye spoke very solemnly, and Li Shouyi also heard the earnest expectation in his great-uncle's tone.

As a genius of the Taoist Alliance, how could he not feel the slightest bit of emotional fluctuation when he felt such encouragement from his ancestor?
Li Shouyi, who was so inspired by Master Hongye that he could not help but feel his heart beating, immediately blushed and nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry, Uncle Master. I, Li Shouyi, will definitely surpass Fellow Daoist Chen one day!"

"Hahaha! I'm really looking forward to that day!"

Master Hongye laughed and patted Li Shouyi's shoulder heavily.

Surrounded by a group of Taoist Alliance disciples, they headed towards Lingxufang.

A scene similar to that of the Taoist Alliance also happened to top Yangshen forces such as the Vajra Temple, Qingyun Sect, and Yulingjian Mountain.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a prior agreement, but the True Lords of Yangshen from various top Yangshen forces descended into the Netherworld on almost the same day.

It's hard to say this is a coincidence.

But all this has nothing to do with Chen Yan for the time being.

Although his cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of Yin Shen, it does not mean that Chen Yan has nothing to do.

But don't forget that in addition to Taoism, Chen Yan also has martial arts skills.

After several retreats, Taoism once again surpassed martial arts and reached the Nine Refinements of the Yin God first.

And what about Chen Yan’s martial arts skills?
For the time being, it is still in the middle stage of seeing God.

Not only was Chen Yan's cultivation of Yin Shen Jiulian's Taoism, but his martial arts cultivation was obviously more than one step behind.

Although Chen Yan knew nothing about the Dharma Realm after seeing the gods in martial arts, and would be confused if he broke through, this did not affect his decision to improve his martial arts skills to the perfection of seeing the gods first.

In this way, as long as martial arts also reach perfection along with Yin Shen, it means that Chen Yan's martial arts and Taoism have both reached the level of perfection of Yin Shen.

It is also a significant improvement to Chen Yan’s combat power.

Therefore, while waiting for news about the extremely yang-attributed natural treasures, Chen Yan was also seizing the opportunity to improve his martial arts skills, striving to raise his martial arts skills to the perfection of Yang God before his Taoist skills broke through to Yang God.

Martial arts breakthroughs do not require high requirements for the location and environment of seclusion, so Chen Yan naturally did not return to Thunder Cliff, but simply practiced directly in the secret room on the main peak of Laoshan.

While Chen Yan was practicing in seclusion, seizing the time to improve his martial arts skills, in the outside world, as the time for the birth of the Netherworld Dao Fruit was getting closer, beneath the calm, there was an undercurrent surging.

The outside world of the Netherworld was calm due to Chen Yan's intimidation, but in the inner world of the Netherworld, the fighting between cultivators became more and more fierce.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed since the arrival of Yangshen Zhenjun from major forces.

On this day, Chen Yan was practicing in seclusion in a secret room on the main peak of Laoshan, preparing to break through to the late stage of Sword God.

At this moment, Zhang Tianzheng's excited and excited shout suddenly came from outside the secret room:

"My lord! My lord! There is news!"

Chen Yan woke up from his meditation, opened his eyes, and opened the stone door of the secret room. Before he stepped out, he saw Zhang Tianzheng running towards him from a distance with an excited look on his face.

Zhang Tianzheng has always been assigned by Chen Yan to be the commander of the Xiangzhou Tianjiansi, commanding the Feiyu Guard of the entire Xiangzhou.

Therefore, the Feiyu Guards who were scattered all over the Netherworld, including the inner world, were all under the command of Zhang Tianzhen.

Therefore, once there is any news, Zhang Tianzheng will definitely be the first to know.

Seeing Zhang Tianzheng's excitement, Chen Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He already had some guesses in his mind, but he still asked calmly:
"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Sir! There is news about a natural treasure with a Yang attribute!"

As Chen Yan expected, Zhang Tianzheng's next sentence was a piece of news that surprised Chen Yan.

"There's news?! Tell me quickly, where is it?"

A hint of joy flashed across Chen Yan's eyes, but he still kept his composure and spoke in a deep voice.

Zhang Tianzheng ran to Chen Yan quickly, took a deep breath, tried to calm down his excitement, bowed his head and replied respectfully:
"In reply to your Excellency, according to the report from the Flying Fish Guards on the front line of the inner world, a super-large 'relic' is about to be unveiled in the depths of the inner world!"

"Super-large ruins?!"

Chen Yan's eyes moved slightly.

Relics generally refer to the treasured places left behind by the immortal sects in ancient times after their fall in the long river of time.

As a former immortal sect, it is needless to say that it is filled with treasures.

But such relics have basically become extinct. At least as far as Chen Yan knows, even a thousand years ago, there had never been any super-large relics in the underworld.

Could it be...

Tens of thousands of years ago, there was an immortal gate in the underworld?

Immortal Sect, Immortal Sect, naturally it is a sect that possesses immortals.

In the three thousand worlds today, except for Huangquan, there is no force that calls itself an immortal sect, at least not openly.

Including the Taoist Alliance and Vajra Temple, they only claim to be top-level Yangshen forces.

Because the immortals from these top forces have not appeared for a very long time, so long that people in the outside world have begun to suspect that the immortals have died.

The Taoist Alliance and Vajra Temple did not object to this statement and seemed to have tacitly agreed with it.
