I am a loser, but I defeated countless geniuses with the Soul-Calming Tower.

Chapter 2561

Within the territory of the Five Elements Palace, several divine rainbows shot into the sky, quickly disappearing into the clouds, clearly heading towards the outside of the Nine Provinces.

"That brat is finally gone. In just seven days, he depleted one-tenth of the palace's reserves. I really don't know how he managed to do that!"

Inside the Five Elements Palace, a group of high-ranking officials gathered together, and several of them had a look of gritted teeth on their faces.

"Hehe... It's only natural to consume some resources when you first glimpse the Myriad Calamities Life and Death Seal, although... it has indeed consumed quite a lot."

"What you all don't know is that the resources Zhao Yan acquired were not all consumables; there were other kinds as well. I suspect he's making plans for the future and preparing to cultivate his own team."

"Oh? It's already started operating so early? That's quite farsighted. It seems you're not only a prodigy in talent, but also have an exceptional mind."

"Alright, let's be patient with these old bones. We can make up for this loss in a few years."

Lin Xuan had no idea that the higher-ups in the Five Elements Palace would be in this state after he left. If he had known earlier, he would have taken more resources with him, since he didn't know if he would ever come back.

In short, as long as Zhao Yan's identity remains unexposed, Lin Xuan will certainly not leave easily.

However, the Five Elements Palace is extremely dangerous, and Lin Xuan needs to proceed with caution.

At this moment, Lin Xuan led several people towards the Outer Heavens, this time with the Black Netherworld Forbidden Land as their target.

The Dark Riots are now in their later stages, with major battles taking place daily across various forbidden zones. Lin Xuan's mission is solely to reap the rewards.

Of course, there are other things to do besides that.

As he soared into the sky, a faint shadow crossed Lin Xuan's eyes.

This scene was captured by the woman standing beside her.

"Brother!"

The woman had bright eyes and white teeth, delicate features, and an air of familiarity about her.

The acquaintance mentioned here is Lan Chuyan, the former imperial descendant of the Five Elements Palace.

This woman is Lan Churou, Lan Chuyan's younger sister, who is now at the early stage of Earth Immortal cultivation.

"There's no need to feel pressured. Senior Brother Nine Heavens True Dragon Ranking will be a piece of cake for you."

Lan Churou smiled sweetly and comforted Lin Xuan in an extremely gentle voice.

She thought Lin Xuan was comforting her because he felt pressured about making it onto the Nine Heavens True Dragon Ranking this time.

Lin Xuan learned from Zhao Yan's memories that Lan Churou and Zhao Yan had already developed feelings for each other and could be considered potential Daoist partners.

This time, when Lin Xuan took over the Imperial Palace, Lan Churou voluntarily joined him and became one of his core members. This time, she even followed Lin Xuan directly to the Black Nether Forbidden Land, mainly to accompany him.

"It's not because I made the list!"

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Lan Churou, a smile appearing on his lips.

Lan Churou didn't realize that a fierce killing intent was hidden in that smile.

Lan Churou was slightly taken aback, her pretty face blushing slightly: "Senior brother, you don't need to worry about me. Rou'er can protect herself."

"That's good!"

Lin Xuan responded and withdrew his gaze, a fleeting murderous glint in his eyes.

In seven days, Lin Xuan learned about almost all the information from the past three years.

Especially the Nine Heavens True Dragon Ranking, a list issued by a top-tier Taoist lineage.

The list contains many familiar faces; beings from all over the Nine Provinces and the Dark Forest are included. It includes 30 beings, all of whom are powerful geniuses from the Celestial Realm.

Feng Changjian and Wu Qi were among those listed. Lin Xuan learned from Chu tide and Ling Pianran that these two had turned misfortune into blessing, breaking through and rebuilding, and had actually condensed the Dao Foundation of the Initial Realm, stepping onto the Great Dao of the Initial Realm.

Chu tide has already broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm and is now standing in the True Immortal realm, so she is not on this list. Ling Pianran is ranked 6th, ahead of her are Bai Qian and Hong Ling. The first is Wu Qi, the second is Feng Changjian, and the third is the current young ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Clan.

In fact, this is just one relatively authoritative list; there are several other versions as well.

Among them, the Nine Heavens True Dragon List, jointly issued by Chunyang Heaven and the Golden Crow Divine Clan, is the most unique and attracts much attention.

This list includes 31 beings, and the 31st one is none other than Lin Xuan.
