My Profession is too Personal Chapter 319: Solar Rank

Click!

On the Bronze Clock Dial, the hands rotated backward, and the sound of gears turning echoed simultaneously in everyone's hearts.

Invisible ripples rolled and dispersed. Everyone seed to sense sothing, yet it also felt as if nothing had changed.

Only Qin Tianlin's body jolted violently.

'Could he actually be revived?'

Su Chen's eyelids twitched, but he saw that the body only jumped like a dead fish, and imdiately afterward, copious amounts of black mist poured out from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

"Sigh..." The Bronze Ancient King sighed and swept his hand across. "Black Buddha used his own Essence Power to completely erase the traces of his ntal Core's existence. He cannot be saved."

Black Buddha really had so skills; he killed him off just like that.

Su Chen stared at Qin Tianlin's corpse on the ground, secretly clicking his tongue.

However, what was Essence Power? Was it of a higher caliber than Divine Power? Erasing the traces of existence—that sounded incredibly formidable.

"Cannot be saved?" Qin Yun's expression changed instantly. He looked at the Bronze Ancient King as if wanting to say sothing, but in the end, nothing ca out, and his expression gradually beca wooden.

The Bronze Ancient King's gaze fell on Qin Tianlin's corpse. Without Qin Tianlin's ntal Core to act as a cover, he could see at a glance the Purple Fla and Spirit Shards hidden within this corpse that did not belong to Qin Tianlin.

'Is this the reason Black Buddha targeted him?'

'Sunless Embers...' The Bronze Ancient King pondered. 'Was it worth expending such a great price?'

"Was that Black Buddha just now?"

The Morning Star Tiers around them had already gathered, and King Peng asked with a probing tone.

"Indeed. That was Black Buddha's Flesh Body. I've startled you all," the Bronze Ancient King recovered his senses and said indifferently.

"The Ancient King truly lives up to his na. With this strike, Black Buddha will have to remain in dormancy for at least a few years," King Peng hastily flattered.

Dormancy?

Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but be astonished. Old Hei paid quite the price for making a move this ti. No wonder he had asked him so carefully who exactly he should target before. He also knew that after taking action this ti, he wouldn't be able to make another move for a short period.

Su Chen finally understood why there was very little news of these Great Eldritch Gods appearing in reality.

Being caught by an Ancient King-level entity ant having to remain in dormancy for several years right away. Unable to respond to the prayers of believers—this was no small loss.

The Bronze Ancient King shook his head but didn't respond to that, rely stating, "A junior of my sect has been assassinated. I won't be able to attend to you all for the ti being."

The crowd's expressions beca subtle. Seeing that the Bronze Ancient King was about to leave, King Peng imdiately spoke up, "Wait!"

"Ancient King, it seems there's still sothing hidden within this Qin Tianlin's corpse, right?"

Qin Tianlin was currently the only Divine Dawn Grade Talent possessor in the Bronze Sect, so he naturally recognized him.

The Bronze Ancient King frowned slightly. He rely reached out toward Qin Tianlin's corpse and gave a tug, and a cluster of Purple Fla was pulled out.

Sunless Embers?

Su Chen looked at this fist-sized cluster of Purple Fla before him.

"This seems to share the sa origin as the Purple Fla that enveloped the Hell-Suppressing King," Han Xingliu had already returned. Standing beside King Peng, he spoke with a tone that seed both certain and uncertain.

"These are the Sunless Embers, and furthermore, there are Spirit Shards hidden within," King Peng said with certainty, his voice sinking low.

"Venerable Qin Yun, didn't you say at the ti that you had nothing to hide? How do you explain this now? You brought this out from the Lost Starfire, didn't you?"

Qin Yun's expression remained wooden, and he gave no response.

King Peng, however, showed faint signs of anger. "You said only those with Divine Dawn Grade Talent could enter. This grandson of yours just happened to possess the qualifications, and you embedded these Sunless Embers within his body. Could it be that you wanted him to adapt in advance, or even directly have the Sunless Spirit select him?"

When it ca to the Spirit of the Vast Sun, no one could treat the matter lightly. The other Venerables' expressions changed as they looked at Qin Yun.

"We were almost deceived by you." King Peng was overbearing. "Ancient King, shouldn't the Bronze Sect give us an explanation?"

As soon as his voice fell, the expressions of the Morning Star Tiers abruptly changed. King Peng's pupils suddenly constricted. Before he could react, wisps of roaming data light streams appeared around him, twining around his body.

This Morning Star Tier powerhouse, capable of shaking stars, was seemingly crushed by an invisible force. With a "bang," one knee smashed heavily onto the ground, causing the floor to crack.

His eyes instantly cleared up.

The Bronze Ancient King remained expressionless. "An explanation? The only Divine Dawn Grade Talent possessor in my sect just died right here. What kind of explanation do you all want my Bronze Sect to provide?"

Li Qingyi, a Venerable from the Profound Heaven Sect, which maintained a good relationship with the Bronze Sect, hastily spoke up, her voice gentle, "Ancient King, please quell your anger."

The others also hurriedly said, "Ancient King, quell your anger."

Tsk tsk... Standing beside the Ancient King, Su Chen kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, acting like a block of wood.

"Ancient King... quell your anger," King Peng, half-kneeling on one knee, forced the words out with difficulty.

Only after another mont did he feel the pressure on his body suddenly release, and he staggered to his feet.

"Lingyuan, stay here and handle the scene. The rest of you, follow ." The Bronze Ancient King held the Purple Fla in his hand. Without him making any movent, the surrounding scenery abruptly shifted, and they had already arrived in a grand hall.

Everyone was present, including the Morning Star Tiers, as well as Han Xingliu and the others.

Qin Yun's expression was numb as he followed behind the Bronze Ancient King to a conference room on one side of the hall, with the other Morning Star Tiers closely trailing them.

Upon entering the room, the Bronze Ancient King waved his hand casually, and the cluster of Purple Fla drifted to the center.

"Venerable Qin Yun, things have already reached this point; do you still plan to act in a secretive and evasive manner?" King Peng spoke again, though his attitude was much more restrained compared to before.

Qin Yun was expressionless and didn't speak, simply standing in place.

King Peng turned to look at the Bronze Ancient King, sowhat helpless. "Are you not prepared to speak either? This matter involves the Sunless Spirit. The other Ancient Kings and the Emperor will not let this go easily."

"We are rely inquiring on their behalf. You must also understand our difficulties."

"I am not aware," the Bronze Ancient King stated very frankly.

"You don't know?" It was unclear whether King Peng's shock was genuine or feigned.

"If I don't know, I don't know. Why would I lie to you?" the Bronze Ancient King shook his head.

King Peng hesitated slightly and looked again at the wooden-faced Qin Yun.

"If he is unwilling to speak, I can tell you."

Suddenly, a voice emanated from the Purple Fla in front of everyone.

The expressions of everyone, including King Peng, jolted simultaneously. They had also sensed the Spirit Shards within the fla, but shards were just shards; whether they possessed consciousness was hard to say.

The group exchanged subtle glances. King Peng spoke first, "May I ask how to address Your Excellency?"

"You may call Hao Ri," the voice echoed, vast and ethereal.

Wu Yue frowned and asked directly, "What does that an? Are you implying that you are Spirit Shards left behind by a Solar Rank Professional?"

"Correct. You may consider it as such," Hao Ri admitted frankly.

"Was Your Excellency brought out of the Lost Starfire by Qin Yun?" King Peng quickly followed up. "How did those Morning Star Tiers who entered with him die?"

"How else could they have died? They did not et the qualifications and were burned to death by the Sunless Spirit." The voice spoke lightly and indifferently.

It truly had nothing to do with Qin Yun?

King Peng was sowhat surprised, and Qin Yun's numb expression seed to twitch.

"Then why did Your Excellency co out with Qin Yun, and why did you attach yourself to Qin Tianlin?" King Peng pressed.

Hao Ri explained, "Because Qin Yun was the only one who survived, so I followed him out. As for the attachnt, Qin Yun rely wanted to act as Qin Tianlin's teacher and carefully instruct him."

"Was he not laying down groundwork in advance, so his grandson could beco the Chosen of the Sunless Spirit?" King Peng questioned.

Hao Ri did not conceal the truth. "You could say that. But I have already perished, leaving only Spirit Shards. You all understand what that ans. I cannot interfere with the Sunless Spirit's selection; I can only do my best to instruct him."

This... King Peng frowned and asked again, "Is it true that only those with Divine Dawn Grade Talent possess the qualifications to be chosen by the Sunless Spirit?"

"Yes," the voice answered decisively.

King Peng was caught in a mont of words caught in his throat. So to speak, the only thing Qin Yun deceived them about was the existence of these Spirit Shards?

But was it truly that simple? He was skeptical.

"You claim to be Spirit Shards left behind by a Solar Rank Professional. What proof do you have?" Qi Heng suddenly spoke up.

Hao Ri's voice remained calm. "I cannot prove it, nor is there a need to. I am rely Spirit Shards and can do nothing. You can choose to believe my words or not, let it be."

Hearing such a response, everyone exchanged glances, all sowhat uncertain, not knowing whether they should believe the words of this voice.

"Venerable Qin Yun, is what this Hao Ri says true or false?" Qi Heng looked at Qin Yun again.

After a mont of silence, Qin Yun finally spoke, his voice hoarse, "It does not deviate from what I know."

The two seed to be able to corroborate each other, leaving everyone with their own thoughts.

Then, the voice from the fla spoke again, "If your goal is to hope soone can beco the Chosen of the Sunless Spirit, I can indeed provide so assistance."

"Please speak, Your Excellency," King Peng's interest was piqued.

Hao Ri continued, "What you call the Lost Starfire is the legacy left behind after my Main Body's death. Its tides fluctuate unpredictably. When they are strong, even those at the Radiant Moon Tier would find it difficult to enter. Even when they are weak, entering carries a certain risk."

"I can help you reduce this risk."

King Peng's expression was subtle. The others were already looking at him with questioning gazes. This was information the Royal Court had only obtained through a long period of observation. At this mont, he could only nod. "There are indeed tidal fluctuations."

"Furthermore..." Hao Ri continued, "Divine Dawn Grade Talent is rely the minimum threshold. If you wish to increase the certainty of being selected, it is best to have an even higher talent, such as True Radiance Tier."

Higher talent, True Radiance Tier? The expressions of everyone present fluctuated.

Before Hao Ri finished speaking, "There is one more thing. There are no age or tier restrictions for the Chosen of the Sunless Spirit."

No age restrictions?

Everyone was shocked. Didn't that an that the Ancient Kings could also participate?

But the Bronze Ancient King chose this mont to ask, "You are not a Professional of the Dust Star Sea, are you?"

"I am not," Hao Ri admitted without any hesitation or avoidance.

"What a pity."

Outside the room, Qin Tianlin's corpse lay flat on the ground, with a few people gathered around.

Han Xingliu sighed continuously. "To die just like that. Divine Dawn Grade Talent, bound to have boundless prospects. What a pity, a true pity."

Xiao Linfeng also sighed, and the others wore expressions of varying degrees of emotion.

The reality was just like that. Regardless of your status or how far you could grow in the future, even if you had the chance to beco an Ancient King, what did it matter? Right now, dead ant dead, and everything had co to nothing.

Qing Cang stood to the side, eyes filled with irresolvable confusion. Black Buddha had taken action against Qin Tianlin at all costs, all because of the Purple Fla on his body? But what did that have to do with Black Buddha?

He truly couldn't figure it out. His gaze swept over Su Chen, who wore an expression of regret.

In fact, if Black Buddha had targeted Su Chen, he wouldn't have been so surprised; at least he could still link it to the Mist Embers. But Qin Tianlin... Then again, he felt sowhat thankful. Fortunately, Black Buddha's target was Qin Tianlin and not Su Chen.

"Brother Qin..." Su Chen grabbed a piece of white cloth, covered Qin Tianlin with it, and gritted his teeth. "This Black Buddha is truly audacious and arrogant to personally inflict such a vicious strike. Who knows where Brother Qin offended him."

"These Great Eldritch Gods possess vast lifespans and unfathomable, treacherous abilities. It has been a very long ti since we've heard news of them descending upon reality," Han Xingliu shook his head. "Fortunately, the Ancient King reacted swiftly. This Black Buddha suffered no small loss either. During this period of dormancy, the other Eldritch Gods won't just stand by and watch."

Han Xingliu also found it very strange that a Great Eldritch God of Black Buddha's caliber would suddenly target Qin Tianlin.

This guy wasn't a Star Seed. While his current strength seed sowhat astonishing, his future achievents were limited. To Black Buddha, he couldn't be considered a threat at all.

This was also the reason why, despite witnessing Black Buddha's appearance, the few of them were not overly panicked.

When Great Eldritch Gods took action, they also had to consider the cost-effectiveness. For the vast majority of enemies, they rely needed to wait quietly for ti to pass.

If the target was that Purple Fla, it wasn't as if it had been extinguished or anything either.

However, Qin Yun had hidden things quite deeply. If Black Buddha hadn't suddenly struck this ti, perhaps everyone would still be kept in the dark.

The reason Qin Tianlin was able to defeat He Muyang was likely due to that Purple Fla.

'The doubts surrounding Qin Tianlin have been resolved...' Han Xingliu's thoughts shifted again. 'But what about that Su Chen?'

'He is even more formidable than Qin Tianlin. Doesn't that an the secrets he harbors are even more incredible than this Purple Fla?'

Han Xingliu looked up, only to find Su Chen also looking at him, speaking with a hint of apology, "Brother Xingliu, there is a matter I must tell you. Your Excellency Lu Huai will likely find it difficult to leave in the short term."

"Hm? What do you an?" Han Xingliu glanced at him and asked calmly.

Su Chen explained, "I have another friend who hasn't used the Profound Heaven Instrunt yet. He went out to run so errands and probably won't be back in the short term."

"It's fine. This matter is not urgent," Han Xingliu acted as if he didn't care.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. As long as the Royal Court isn't in a hurry, it's fine. I estimate he should be back within a year or a half."

"A year or a half?" The corners of Han Xingliu's mouth twitched. He looked toward Qing Cang, but seeing the other party seemingly turning a deaf ear, his brows couldn't help but furrow. "How about you just have that friend of yours go directly to the Royal Court?"

"That wouldn't be good. He is naturally timid and unwilling to travel to other places," Su Chen shook his head.

Han Xingliu's brows furrowed even tighter. The Profound Heaven Sect and the Royal Court had already discussed this matter. He didn't know why Su Chen had to ddle in this and forcefully stop Lu Huai from leaving.

He would have to leave sooner or later. What benefit was there in delaying it for a brief mont?

Thinking of this, he suddenly blanked out, his expression becoming subtle. Looking at Su Chen's smiling face, he probed tentatively:

"Your Excellency, as a 6th-Tier, you already reside at the top of the preliminary leaderboard. I fear no one can shake your position as the Minor Star Chief. How about I just give you the Marrow of the Morning Star in advance?"

"It will be yours sooner or later anyway; there's no point in dragging it out."

"Is that alright?" Su Chen appeared sowhat surprised. "Others won't have any objections, right?"

Han Xingliu was practically certain now that the other party was using Lu Huai as a threat. He couldn't help but be astonished inwardly. 'Did this guy realize several months ago that the Royal Court would deliberately delay giving the Marrow of the Morning Star?'

After a mont of silence, he could only say helplessly, "There's nothing bad about it. With your strength, others wouldn't object either. In that case, can that friend of yours hurry back as soon as possible?"

Only then did Su Chen nod and say, "If Your Excellency is in a hurry, I can urge him."
