Shi Yan glowered, a sparkling light appeared in his eyes. The shiny silver light around his body gradually retracted until it left no trace.

“Congratulations!” Cao Zhi Lan moved forward one step with an honest face. “Although you have some help from the anomalous treasures, being able to break through the Second Sky of the Earth Realm is really exceptional. If you go back to the Kyara Sea, you can definitely rank on the top five of the power rankings.”

The beautiful faces of Gu Ling Long and Qu Yan Qing slightly changed, showing their suspicions. “The top five of the power rankings?”

Shi Yan guffawed shaking his head and said, “I don’t care about those rankings. I am not interested in it. Only top-level warriors with wicked intentions like you care about the power rankings.”

“You, you look down on us?” Gu Ling Long angrily said.

“That’s right.” Shi Yan did not refuse it and seriously nodded his head. “When I was still in the Disaster Realm without any help from the beasts, I could have already sustained one full-power strike of yours. You are also of the power rankings but still cannot defeat even one warrior at the Disaster Realm. So, you tell me, are the power rankings meaningful?”

Gu Ling Long got irritated while glaring at Shi Yan. She said with anger, “You think everyone is a monster like you?”

“Shi Yan, you are not the same as an ordinary warrior. You could enhance your strength several times more in just a blink of an eye. Even the top-level warriors in the power rankings can never possess these kinds of powers. You shouldn’t be compared to the common warriors.” Cao Zhi Lan smiled deliberately as if she and Shi Yan were friends.

Cao Zhi Lan had still wanted to cool down the relationship with Shi Yan. During this time, regardless of what she said or did, she should just simply follow and comply with Shi Yan. Her purpose was simple. She hoped that Shi Yan would have some sympathy for them and did not see them as his enemies.

“I don’t need you to remind me.” Shi Yan frowned, gradually stood up and stared at Gu Ling Long and Qu Yan Qing. He suddenly said, “If you still have wicked intentions, don’t blame me for violating you before my cultivation have any troubles. Ahem, you dared to have the intentions of killing me while I was cultivating. You are such stupid girls. Learn more from Cao Zhi Lan. You should better understand your current situation.”

The expressions of Gu Ling Long and Qu Yan Qing slightly changed, but they did not dare to say anything anymore. They only felt strange how Shi Yan had been able to have heard their conversations while he had been in the critical point of his breakthrough.

They obviously did not know that after Shi Yan’s host soul had entered the sea of consciousness, the sense powers of his god consciousness had reached an unimaginable level. Even in the bitter cultivating state, commotions around could not have escaped from his senses.

At that time, he had not entered the stone chamber for his cultivation, instead, he had chosen to cultivate in the middle of the stone hall in order to take precautions against unexpected incidents.

“Swoosh swoosh”

The sound of wings flapping came up from a distance. Not long after that, Yu Rou and Di Shan simultaneously landed. Yu Rou was holding He Qing Man who was cheerfully surprised.

“Bump”

After throwing He Qing Man on the floor, without glancing at Cao Zhi Lan and the other two girls, Yu Rou turned her head around to look at Shi Yan and said, “This girl’s body is still pure. I brought her here specifically for you to do as you please with her. Ah, how much more time will it take? We don’t have much time left. We should go to the Sound Beast Mountain soon.”

“Give me some more time. I need to reinforce the realm.” Shi Yan was very happy, he nodded his head while looking at He Qing Man, then said, “In a maximum of one month, I am sure that I will be able to break through the shelters. Believe me, I will help you deal with the Sound Beast Mountain after one month.”

“One month ...” After Yu Rou raised her head looking up to the sky, she looked at Di Shan and asked, “Do we still have enough time?”

“No worries.” Di Shan calmly nodded his head, looking at Shi Yan. “I give you one and a half months. Don’t disappoint me. If you do, you will live to regret it.”

Upon his words, Di Shan turned around and left. He disappeared without a trace in just a blink of an eye.

Yu Rou said with a faint smile, “In order to take that girl here, he had to fight with Duo Long who had to suffer much harm himself. Finally, Duo Long could not say no to him. Although Di Shan is cold-hearted, he will keep his words.”

“So, I should be grateful to you.” Shi Yan nodded, looking at Di Shan’s back shadow leaving, and indifferently said,

“Remember, one and a half month. After that, I hope you can bring us a big surprise. Otherwise, we will make your soul fly and scatter in this place. You will never get out of here.”

Yu Rou released a long sigh in her heart, stretched her hand patting He Qing Man’s shoulders, then spoke to Shi Yan, “I leave her here for you. You know what to do.”

Yu Rou also left, following Di Shan.

“He Qing Man, you ...” Cao Zhi Lan was astonished, staring at He Qing Man for a while, then said, “You, you have almost reached the Third Sy of the Earth Realm. What is this about?”

Shi Yan was also curious.

Although the power in He Qing Man’s body had been confined, inside of her delicate body, continuous sounds of the wind kept growling, the profound Qi was intensifying, and her mind was stable. It seemed that there had been a big transformation that had happened.

Entering this shitty place together, Cao Zhi Lan and her companies had not had any improvements. As soon as they had just gotten in, they had been immediately captured.

Because the leaders of the two pagan tribes had not regretted in giving him their precious treasures, Shi Yan had been able to break through that fast. However, He Qing Man clearly hadn’t had that privilege, but what she had gained was not bad. This made Cao Zhi Lan a little bit surprised.

“I did not expect that I would see you this time.” A streak of misery appeared on He Qing Man’s charming face. “I had thought that my soul would have flown and scattered in another short amount of time. Hmm, in fact, in another ten more days, I will be ... killed by Duo Long, who will absorb all of the powers inside of my body. If Di Shan and Yu Rou did not come to take me, I will definitely have been unable to have survived.”

“What happened?” Shi Yan knitted his eyebrows asking.

“After entering this place, I fell into the Gray Wings Clan’s area. Because my body has the Wind Martial Soul, Duo Long had confined me in a place where the wind energy was really intense. He’s used my body as a container to store the wind energy, and then he would have absorbed that energy from me ...” He Qing Man’s face was still miserable when she told them her story. “If Shi Yan did not ask for me, I am sure that I would not be able to have escaped from Duo Long’s brutal blow. I had known about his wicked intentions, but I didn’t have enough strength in order to resist him.”

“You are thanking him?” Gu Ling Long laughed coldly. “Currently, I am not sure you have escaped the brutal blow. Haven’t you heard about his intentions of asking for you?”

“I have heard that he needs girls to give vent to” He Qing Man’s face suddenly pinkened. She looked at Shi Yan without any fear and said, “Have you asked Di Shan and Yu Rou to bring me here so that you could actually do it with me? Shi Yan, why ...”

“Khoff khak khak ...” Shi Yan dry coughed then said, “You have thought too much. You ... you are not the same as the other three girls. I will not do anything to you. That thing ... I do not consider you my enemy, so I will not do anything to you.”

“Indeed.” Cao Zhi Lan slightly bursting into laughter. “I know He Qing Man will be fine. She originally had not considered the Yang family’ enemy. She will not have bad luck like us.”

The expressions of Gu Ling Long and Qu Yan Qing was unsightly.

“Shi Yan, will you really treat them that way?” He Qing Man was little surprised. “Although these girls have chased you for a long time, will you feel guilty with Xinyan jie [1] if you do that?”

Shi Yan’s face suddenly changed. He harrumphed and said with a cold voice, “I know what I am doing.”

He Qing Man frowned but said no more. She let out a long sigh shaking her head.

“You find a room by yourself. It is very safe here. If I am still alive, nothing will happen to us.” Shi Yan’s face was cold. He turned around walking to the secret chamber without saying anything more to He Qing Man.

If the Five Devils in his sea of consciousness hadn’t had any abnormalities, killing Cao Zhi Lan and the two others would have been the best way to take revenge.

However, cultivating with the Five Devils was very dangerous. Even after the host soul had entered the sea of consciousness, he knew that if he did not finish cultivating the Five Devils in the Sea of Mind, he might have encountered danger later. It was with a reluctance to keep those three girls with him to prevent unforeseen occurrences.

Regarding the feature of the cultivation of the Five Devils in the Sea of Mind, it was not convenient for him to have explained it to He Qing Man. Therefore, even if He Qing Man had thought that he was a lustful man, he still had to accept it.

In the secret chamber, Shi Yan sat cross-legged with his back straight up. He held his breath, calmed his mind, and once again entered the sea of consciousness. He observed every commotion of the sea of consciousness to understand the transformation speed as well as the consciousness conveying process of the host soul, sensed waves of the sea of consciousness one by one, perceived the marvelousness of the soul.

His soul gradually approached the intangible stage.

The host soul in the sea of consciousness quietly emitted soul consciousness which emerged with the god consciousness in the sea of consciousness. It borrowed the strength of the sea of consciousness to improve and nourish the host soul, gradually enhanced the host soul’s power. His spirit immersed in the host soul, constantly moved inside of the host soul; it then finally reached an empty area of the soul consciousness.

A black germ in that soul area released a cloud of black smoke. As soon as the black smoke flowed out, it immediately diffused, quietly spreading all over that soul area.

Found it! Shi Yan’s heart was shaken. He gathered the soul consciousness’ power in the sea of consciousness and the heat power inside of his body to transform them into the burning god consciousness lights. He then dashed them towards the black spore inside of the host soul.

“Crackling”

The black germ was burned by the scorching light of the soul consciousness. As being attacked, it released more black smoke, but the light of the soul consciousness promptly surrounded it and burned it, destroyed it little by little. Not long after that, the black spore inside the host soul had been completely burned.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

In a giant gloomy hall, many of Demonic Sound Clan’s pagans were kneeling on the floor to listen to Yi Tian Mo lecturing about the soul’s knowledge.

Yi Cu Bi and Yi Feng were also in the hall, focusing on the lecture.

On the chairman’s seat above, Yi Tian Mo suddenly trembled tremendously. Faint black smoke emitted from his eyes.

“Father, what happens to you?” Yi Cu Bi hastily screamed out loud.

Yi Tian Mo’s face got serious. The black smoke from his eyes gradually dispersed. After a while, his eyes returned to normal, his body also stopped trembling.

“The younger generation who surpass the older ...” Yi Tian Mom muttered with a low voice. A strange light lit up in his eyes with a complicating expression.
