ry moment, Jiang Yun actually told him that the people whom the Nine Great Celestial Venerables were interested in were actually among these unconscious people right before his eyes, and they were obv...In fact, Ginger Yun knew very well that even though her appearance had become Fan Xiao's and her bloodline mimicked the Fan family's, her own personality wouldn't allow her to live a life of humility in Tiangoutian like Fan Xiao did.

This way, one's conduct and manner of doing things will naturally arouse suspicion from familiar acquaintances.

However, Jiang Yun was not prepared to stay in Heavenly Outside Heaven for too long. Knowing his parents' news and seeing them would be the best thing.

If we can't see each other for now, then let's wait until the issue with the Mirage Clan is resolved and then make long-term plans.

So, Jiang Yun decisively used high-pressure tactics to intimidate the two people in front of him. He also left a slave mark in their souls, one that they hadn't used in a long time.

Under the control of the slave brand, the two guards immediately understood that Jiang Yun was their master.

Adding to the two previous deaths Ginger Cloud had inflicted upon them, they now viewed her with utmost reverence and dared not disobey her in the slightest.

They knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Jiang Yun repeatedly and saying: "Master Fan, rest assured. We will never reveal anything about you."

Jiang Yun faintly said: "Get up!"

Now, tell me, what amount of military merit is required for each rank here

And besides exchanging items, are there any other quick ways to gain military merit

To be honest, asking these two questions that any Heavenly Guardian should know as a matter of course made Jiang Yun feel rather embarrassed.

Well, back then, Fan Xiao's only wish was to live peacefully. He never even thought about military achievements, so naturally he didn't know anything about them.

Two guards stood up nervously and cautiously said, "To become a centurion, you need 10,000 military merits. To become a small captain, it's 100,000 military merits. To become a president, it's one million military merits. To become a vice general, I think it requires five million military merits."

As for the number of military merits in the future, we don't know.

Ginger silently nodded. His goal was to at least become president, only then could he possibly figure out the details of this extraterrestrial phenomenon.

That is to say, needing to earn millions of military merits is quite a distant goal! The two guards continued, "We don't know how many military merits you need, sir, but since you just broke through your realm, you can go to the Military Merit Pavilion to receive some. However, it won't be too much."

"Unless adults can break through a major realm, they will only be able to receive 10,000 military merits directly!"

This sentence made Jiang Yun's eyes light up involuntarily.

Although he already knew from Fan Xiao's memories that cultivating one's strength could earn military merit, Fan Xiao was only at the third level of the Broken Law Realm when he entered the Heavenly Outside Heaven.

Over so many years, he had only improved a little in his cultivation, still far from the Reincarnation Realm. Therefore, he was completely unaware that advancing one major realm would reward him with 10,000 military merits, and that 10,000 military merits could be exchanged for the position of a centurion.

If Ginger Cloud were to reveal his true cultivation realm, he would immediately earn ten thousand military merits.

However, this method is simply too risky.

A cultivator who breaks through from the Fourth Stage of Fa to the Reincarnation Stage in a short period of time would probably not receive military merit, but rather attract the attention of the entire Tianwai Tian and even the Cang Lao Hui.

Three months later, our guard unit will hold a competition. As long as the adults can win, they'll receive one thousand military merits.

"However, Liu Meng is definitely going to embezzle a portion..." It's common knowledge in Tianwai Tian that superiors will embezzle the military achievements of their subordinates.

Jiang Yun certainly wouldn't fear Liu Meng's greed, but this thousand military merits was simply too little for him.

If the adults are not in a hurry, in nine years, there will be a grand military competition, and all the guards in TianwaiTian can participate.

If one can achieve good results, they can not only gain a large amount of military merit but also be appreciated by superiors for their outstanding performance, and there is even a possibility of being promoted directly.

"I remember, among the Nine Heavenly Generals today, there is one who was originally just a centurion. But because he made a brilliant display during a grand competition in the army, other heavenly commanders took notice and directly promoted him to be a Heavenly General."

In the military's grand competitions, Ginger Cloud was someone Fan Xiao had seen before in his memory.

It is held once every hundred years and is not open to the public. It only takes place within Heaven Above Heaven. All guards except the Heavenly Marshal are eligible to register and compete against each other, with life and death being irrelevant.

Besides individual competitions, there are also team competitions with diverse formats and incredible rewards. They are highly valued by the Heavenly Guards, truly a shortcut to the top.

Nine years, for Jiang Yun, was not actually a long time. But he didn't know if the Mirage Clan could safely pass another nine years.

A guard suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "That's right! There will be another hunt a month from now."

"At that time, a hundred criminals will be released and we will need to hunt them down. You can earn military merit based on the strength and number of criminals you kill."

"We've never participated before, so we don't know exactly how much military merit we could gain, but we hear it's quite a lot."

What is called "encirclement" is also a task arranged by the heavens above to stimulate and temper the guards.

This involves restoring the cultivation levels of some prisoners, placing them within a designated area, and then dispatching guards to hunt them down.

This kind of hunt is not just about guards hunting down criminals, criminals can also hunt down the guards.

Even, if a prisoner killed a certain number of guards, not only would he be free from blame, but he would also be granted freedom.

Jian Yun's ears perked up; this was the hunt. It fit his needs, a chance to earn military merit in a short time.

Two guards scowled and said, "My lord, these are the only ways we know of to quickly gain military merit."

There might be some other ways, but they are beyond our understanding.

"Above and below the heavens, the levels are strictly divided. Many things remain unknown to those who don't reach a certain level."

Jiang Yun nodded, knowing that the two people, having been branded with his slave mark, couldn't possibly lie to him.

"Alright, then there's nothing else. You guys should go now!"

Two guards looked at each other and whispered, "My lord, should we call Liu Meng…" Before the two could finish their words, Jiang Yun waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll go find him myself!"

Although these two have been branded with my mark, they won't betray me. However, if they tell Liu Meng that I've come back to life, he will definitely be suspicious. This could lead to some unnecessary trouble.

Ginger knew very well that Liu Meng, despite his rough exterior and seeming lack of foresight, was far from a reckless hothead. Anyone who thought otherwise would be sorely mistaken.

Otherwise, how could a criminal transform himself into a centurion within this heavily guarded celestial realm

Therefore, Ginger Cloud decided to go and see him herself.

Perhaps, he could tell himself more.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Two guards nodded at each other, secretly letting out a sigh of relief. They didn't want to see Liu Meng either.

"If you have nothing else, sir, then we shall take our leave."

Jiang Yun waved his hand, and the two guards bowed their heads and retreated.

Jiang Yun's divine sense watched as the two returned to their residence before he stood up, pushed open the door and walked out, arriving at Liu Meng's courtyard.

As a centurion, Liu Meng's courtyard was naturally the best in this manor.

Jiang Yun stood at the door, dispersing his divine sense, quietly checking the restrictions within this courtyard.

But the next moment, his figure flickered and he was already standing in the courtyard, without having triggered any of its restrictions.

After Ginger Cloud entered the courtyard, her steps did not stop, and she walked directly into the house.

Liu Meng was meditating with his eyes closed, oblivious to Jiang Yun's arrival.

Ginger Cloud did not waste words with him. Standing before him, she reached out and pointed at his brow.

However, at that very moment, Liu Meng suddenly opened his eyes. In the depths of his eyes, a strange silver light flashed!
