Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 585 - 66 Chen Lingyuns Ambition_3
Chapter 585: Chapter 66: Chen Lingyun’s Ambition_3 Chapter 585 -66: Chen Lingyun’s Ambition_3 The Annan Army sent people to clean out the Nine Heavens Netherworld, acquiring a large number of cultivation materials from the residence of the Ghost King Xue Ren.
For the cultivators of the Military Mansion, these were naturally resources that could be utilized, but for front-line teams like Qing An and Zhenghai, they weren’t anything worth keeping.
To put it bluntly, the rank was not sufficient.
The only one who profited substantially was Chen Lingyun. Ordinary ghostly creatures were abundant—if it were Hanging Ghosts, Ghosts of Injustice or Starved Ghosts, she wouldn’t bat an eye.
In her view, the ghostly creatures truly worth collecting into her banner were either distinct beings who tread the path towards becoming a Yin God, like Black and White Impermanence, Ox-Head, and Horse-Face, or those like the Five Ghosts, Yaksha Demons, and Demon Blade Ghosts, whose limits might not be high, but who possessed sufficient combat strength for the current stage.
Once back in the healing district of the Mysterious Realm, she busied herself in the basement with these ghosts, to the extent that the entire underground training field was filled with an eerie aura, which greatly displeased the young ladies.
Yan Yu descended the stairs and saw Chen Lingyun sitting in meditation on a cushion, holding Divine Evil Prayer Beads in her left hand and leaning on the Prison Banner with her right, looking very much like a village witch doctor.
“You’ve been occupying the underground training field recently, have you come up with anything?” Yan Yu sat down beside her and asked.
With her eyes closed, Chen Lingyun asked indifferently,
“When you opened the gates to the Yellow Springs within the Nine Heavens Netherworld that day, did you see anything inside?”
“Nothing.” Yan Yu recalled for a moment and said, “During the Era of Dharma Extinction, the Underworld was utterly empty. Although the Spiritual Energy Resurgence has reopened the Nine Heavens Yellow Springs, the Yin Gods within have long since vanished… What about it, are you worried about those souls going to be reincarnated? Afraid they can’t find their way to reincarnation?”
Chen Lingyun pondered for a moment before slowly saying,
“Look at this.”
She summoned a Yaksha Demon, and with a flick of her Divine Evil Prayer Beads, she smashed it to pieces.

Yan Yu was taken aback, only to see Chen Lingyun shake the Prison Banner, causing countless streams of yin energy to gather and instantly resurrect the Yaksha Demon in perfect condition.
The Ghost General, having died and come back to life, showed no surprise, but respectfully bowed before Chen Lingyun.
“Uh…” Yan Yu was somewhat lost for words.
Even Fan Wentang, who was hailed as the foremost Ghost Summoner in his previous life, could not perform this feat of resurrecting ghosts, and he naturally found it even more incomprehensible, waiting for the woman to explain.
“I’ve been researching the Nine Heavens Yin Demon Divine Seal, and I have made some findings.” Chen Lingyun revealed a smile, “Once they are included within my Prison Banner and inscribed with the seal script, even if their soul is scattered in the outside world, they can coalesce and be reborn in the banner. How about that?”
“That’s quite impressive.” Yan Yu admitted with admiration.
Even if defeated, they would not truly die, which now made them akin to Pokémon.
Seeing his face full of admiration, Chen Lingyun sighed and shaking her head, said:
“I knew you wouldn’t understand… Let’s put it this way: ghostly creatures die outside the banner, then enter it, coalesce their form and can be reborn. Doesn’t this resemble the concept of reincarnation from legends? Actual people also move on to the netherworld after their lives end, then are reborn. The process might differ, but isn’t the whole cycle similar?”
“So what are you trying to say?” Sensing something, Yan Yu asked directly, yet uncertain of her point.
“As you said. During the Era of Dharma Extinction, the Yin Gods perished and the Underworld was emptied.” Chen Lingyun spoke slowly, her expression unusually serious, “Since I can supervise souls and construct reincarnation within this Prison Banner, enabling ghosts to die and be resurrected, why can’t I reconstruct it in that desolate Underworld? Nowadays, when people’s life spans end, their souls enter the Underworld and they must find their own way to reincarnate. But if it were managed by me, sorting out their lives, clarifying good and evil, defining rewards and punishments, wouldn’t that be more fitting than random draws for reincarnation?”
“Are you saying…” Yan Yu’s expression also began to reveal shock, “you want to become King Yanluo!”
“I merely wish to reestablish the Yin Department.” Chen Lingyun said lightly, “Souls return to the Underworld, the cycle of rebirth should have an established order, and we can’t allow stray spirits and wild ghosts to cause chaos.”
“Isn’t that the same thing!” Yan Yu exclaimed.
