The 【Immovable Vajra】 ability of the World-Slaying Manifestation allowed one to sacrifice a portion of their bodily functions in exchange for a powerful boost in strength and short-term invulnerability.
Su Chen had tried before: if, in that state, he utilized the Stigmata Healer to repair his injuries.
Due to the nature of the ability, after the injuries were repaired, the energy would be extracted by the Immovable Vajra again to empower himself.
The "Artificial Blood" brought by the Healing Weaver Sage should similarly be able to be extracted by the Immovable Vajra.
"At this level of strength, even a recovery-type Profession is Not to be Trifled With."
Feeling the warm current gradually subsiding within his body, Su Chen thought of the Holy Class, Undying Bird.
"There is only one last Profession left to fulfill its Forging requirent. However, this Holy Class can currently only be obtained through one channel: Lan Hao."
While he could reduce the difficulty of Job Entry for a Profession, Lan Hao couldn't. The last Profession for the Undying Bird would likely require one to reach the 7th-Tier for Job Entry. For that guy to advance to the 7th-Tier, it would probably take a few more years.
But Su Chen didn't care too much. It was nothing more than Taking Things as They Co. At worst, he could wait five or six years and acquire it from him after Lan Hao advanced; it wouldn't be too late.
As he calculated in his heart, Su Chen was about to have soone prepare so delicacies to satisfy his cravings.
Just as he opened his Comm-Bracelet, a ssage from Wei Zhenghong popped up.
"Gathering." Su Chen raised an eyebrow. Old Wei organizing a gathering not long after coming back indeed suited his personality.
This guy is really well-inford; I just ca out of the Fortune Bronze Core.
Su Chen took a brief rest, went out, inford Luo Shuhang, and then boarded a Flight Vehicle, heading for Wei Zhenghong's Floating Island.
Inside the Ancient King Palace, a blurry white Phantom Image stood before the Bronze Ancient King, speaking with a clear voice: "Yuan Shuo, are you really not going?"
"I can't get away for the ti being. The Starfire's problem hasn't been completely resolved." The Bronze Ancient King shook his head. His relationship with the other party seed good, and he didn't hide anything when speaking.
In fact, he couldn't hide it either. If he didn't go, the outside world could naturally guess that the Starfire's improvent was limited.
"It seems this Mist Embers really isn't that easy to resolve." The other party wasn't surprised. The fact that the Bronze Sect's Starfire could improve had already exceeded many people's expectations.
If it had been completely resolved, they would have to weigh just how far the Bronze Ancient King had progressed.
The Bronze Ancient King didn't discuss the Mist Embers deeply and changed the subject: "Xuan Tian, I'll leave Qin Yun to you."
"Alright." The Xuantian Ancient King nodded in agreent, "But your student is Deep-minded. I suspect he might still be hiding sothing. Give a bottom line on how I should handle it if any unexpected situations arise."
The Bronze Ancient King remained silent for a long while before speaking slowly, his voice calm and firm: "There is no bottom line. If you truly discover he harbors rebellious intentions, you may execute him on the spot."
"Execute him on the spot? Yuan Shuo, you've finally hardened your heart." The Xuantian Ancient King seed sowhat surprised and spoke slowly, "I understand. Rest assured, I'll help you keep an eye on him."
The Bronze Ancient King Remain Noncommittal. At their level and status, anything entrusted to outsiders could hardly be called reassuring.
But he had no choice. These few guys were entirely focused on the Spirit of the Vast Sun, and he couldn't stop Qin Yun from being taken away.
With the Starfire's troubles right in front of him, he couldn't leave for a long ti either. He could only entrust it to the Xuantian Ancient King, soone with whom he had a decent relationship.
"Yuan Shuo, there is one more thing," the Xuantian Ancient King said, seemingly a bit helpless, "Recently, those few guys have been inquiring about the Profound Heaven Instrunt both openly and secretly. Can you give a definite word on what's going on with Su Chen?"
"If he transford because of his own abilities, I will tell them, so they stop plotting for the Profound Heaven Instrunt."
The Bronze Ancient King, however, shook his head and said indifferently: "I have already said what should be said. You should also be clear on why the Royal Court needs this Profound Heaven Instrunt. Don't bla everything on Su Chen."
"Tsk... There are rumors outside that you dote on him quite a bit. I didn't quite believe it, but looking at it now, there's no Smoke Without Fire."
The Xuantian Ancient King clicked his tongue in wonder: "Free entry to the Fortune Bronze Core, whatever Resources he needs supplied, and it's even said you're going to pass the Ancient Throne to him. This doesn't seem quite like your style."
"After all, he is Junior Brother's only bloodline; naturally, I have to take care of him a bit. As for the candidate for the Ancient Throne, I have my own plans," the Bronze Ancient King covered up like this.
In reality, Su Chen was treated this way because of his contribution to resolving the Crisis of the Flas.
But this matter couldn't be announced to the public. Him transforming into a Divine Radiance Grade, seemingly possessing the Crimson Sun Bloodline, also served as an excuse.
"Yeah, as people get older, they beco nostalgic." The Xuantian Ancient King echoed a few words, then asked again, "However, for Su Chen to be able to undergo Molten Casting Sacred Profession at the 6th-Tier, is this a secret thod of your Bronze Sect, or is it due to his own special traits?"
"Xuan Tian..." The Bronze Ancient King still didn't respond, "Why are you so interested in a Junior Generation? Better focus your attention on the Spirit of the Vast Sun. What secret could compare to the Spirit of the Vast Sun?"
"True." The Xuantian Ancient King didn't press further, nodding, "High-tier Professions are One Slot Per Person. Your student is currently only a Star Seed. If you don't pass the throne to him, he will find it difficult to reach our level in his entire life."
The Bronze Ancient King remained Stoic Silence. The Xuantian Ancient King then said: "Calculating the ti, send Qin Yun over in a few days."
The Bronze Ancient King nodded, watching the illusory figure before him dissipate.
Many people had already received the news and rushed to Wei Zhenghong's Floating Island. As soon as Su Chen stepped onto it, soone greeted him: "Star Seed Su, you're here too."
Su Chen looked towards the voice. The person had an enthusiastic expression and looked sowhat familiar, but he couldn't rember where he had seen him before.
"Mm," Su Chen responded.
The other party forced a conversation, "Senior Brother Wei has finally returned. During this ti without his gatherings, it always felt like sothing was missing."
"Yeah," Su Chen casually agreed. Old Wei's ecological niche was quite special. During his absence, no one had indeed organized any gatherings.
On one hand, there was no one with a personality like Wei Zhenghong's. If it were Shen Yi'an, putting aside whether he would be willing to host one, even if he did, few people would actually dare to go—not out of fear,
But out of a subconscious sense of guardedness, feeling less at ease.
"Old Su! Old Su!" As soon as they entered the Main Building, Chu Ran ca over, saying sourly, "Dual Divine Dawn Star Seed, how co you get all the good things?"
It had been a long ti since the incident of Su Chen becoming a Dual Divine Dawn. Chu Ran had thought about visiting him halfway through, but Su Chen was in the Fortune Bronze Core, so he had to put it aside.
This was the first ti he had seen the other party since learning the truth.
"A fluke, a fluke," Su Chen grinned.
Chu Ran didn't expand on this much. He smoothly grabbed two glasses of wine from the side, handed one to him, and whispered, "However, the wind hasn't been very good lately. I don't know who is spreading the rumor that the Ancient King is biased—that none of the other Star Amber Talent were able to transform, and only you succeeded."
He had already used the Profound Heaven Instrunt once, and no matter what, he couldn't transform into a Divine Dawn, so he was quite open-minded about it.
"Where did the rumors co from?" Su Chen's eyes flickered, but he didn't feel too surprised.
"From the outside. It's fine internally, but the rumors from the outside probably carry intentions of sowing discord. They might also want to figure out exactly how you transford and how much it has to do with the Profound Heaven Instrunt," Chu Ran explained.
"Besides, so people are also saying that you will likely be the next Ancient King."
Chu Ran winked, "When you beco the Ancient King, don't forget to take care of ."
Next Ancient King? Su Chen was slightly stunned, then realized. No wonder those people's attitudes were no longer just simply respectful.
"Easy to say, easy to say," Su Chen didn't say much.
"However, you should be a bit careful of Shen Yi'an," Chu Ran quickly added, "Although no one ntioned it before, everyone guessed that the next Ancient King would likely be produced between you two. Now, before the real competition has even started, he seems to have already lost."
"This guy shouldn't be a treacherous villain, but honestly, we all keep our distance from him, so it's better to be careful. The Qin Family only grew strong in the past century by relying on Qin Yun, but the Shen Family has been with the Sect for thousands of years."
Su Chen looked at him in surprise, nodding thoughtfully, but feeling sowhat helpless inwardly. He really didn't want to deal with these annoying matters all day.
He had a good impression of Shen Yi'an and didn't wish for them to develop any enmity. As for whether he beca the Ancient King or not, they could talk about it later.
If the Great Exalted could transform into the Bright Moon Tier, he naturally wouldn't care about the Ancient Throne. If it couldn't, or if so unexpected change occurred midway, he would have to fight for it whether he wanted to or not.
Sigh... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This damned Professional Spirituality! No matter how high your talent was, there was only one position. If soone else took it, you could only watch.
It was very easy to create various conflicts.
While he was thinking, more people arrived one after another. Jiang Mufeng, Zhao Ming, and others all arrived and exchanged pleasantries with him.
"Star Seed Su, long ti no see. You're looking even more spirited."
In their words, Su Chen could also sense their changes. They seed more polite, or more accurately, mixed with a hint of flattery.
In the past, his relationship with these people was okay. Although they were polite to each other, it wouldn't reach this level.
Truly... Su Chen sighed even more inwardly, responding one by one as usual.
Soon, Shen Yi'an also arrived. No clues could be seen from his expression. He exchanged a few simple pleasantries with Su Chen, while many people's gazes were already wandering between the two of them.
"Senior and junior brothers." Wei Zhenghong still made a grand finale appearance. Holding up a wine glass, he instantly attracted the attention of the entire audience: "Everyone knows I went to Molten Casting Sacred Profession so ti ago, but there was a slight accident. After returning, I only gathered everyone to catch up now after recovering."
An accident during Molten Casting Sacred Profession?
Su Chen muttered inwardly. So this was the first gathering after Old Wei returned. He thought he had just stumbled upon it. It seed now that Old Wei was specifically waiting for him.
After a few simple pleasantries, the few of them Core mber entered a quiet room.
Outside, Wei Zhenghong had only exchanged a few glances with him.
But upon entering the room, Wei Zhenghong walked over, "Old Su, you really gave a huge surprise. I was shocked beyond belief as soon as I got back. You're too monstrous, being able to undergo Molten Casting Sacred Profession at the 6th-Tier."
"I secretly asked Qing Shi to try out your Training Projection. Truly formidable. Although you couldn't last long, during the process, you vaguely seed even stronger than ."
"Alright, stop flattering ," Su Chen waved his hands repeatedly, giving a Bitter Smile.
"It's not flattery, just telling the truth." Wei Zhenghong waved his hand, raised his wine glass, and spoke loudly, "I know there have been so rumors recently, both inside and outside the Sect."
"Old Su transford into the Dual Divine Dawn talent. So say the Ancient King mastered so thod, but at a huge price, and only favored Su Chen, not intending to use it for others in the Sect."
Chu Ran's expression changed slightly, not expecting Wei Zhenghong to bring this up Grandly and Openly.
The others were also very surprised, Looking at One Another in Speechless Dismay.
"I think this is fucking bullshit!" Wei Zhenghong shouted sternly, "If the Ancient King had such a thod, he absolutely wouldn't be Being Secretive about it. These are rumors spread by people with ulterior motives."
Wei Zhenghong swept his gaze across the crowd: "I don't care whether those guys like Li Guanting believe it or not, but if any of us here believe such rumors, then we are the idiots among idiots!"
This Old Wei—Su Chen listened quietly from the side, but felt so admiration in his heart. This matter was actually quite sensitive. Bringing it up openly might offend people, which required so sense of responsibility.
The eyes of a few people darted around, their gazes mainly falling on Shen Yi'an. The few Star-Amber Grade individuals present had still been elevated using the Profound Heaven Instrunt; these words were definitely not ant for them.
"Old Shen," Wei Zhenghong wasn't polite and imdiately called him out the next mont: "What do you think of this matter? You don't believe it too, do you?"
The atmosphere suddenly beca sowhat silent. Everyone held Bated Breath. It wasn't right to put down the wine glasses in their hands, nor was it right to lift them.
There were only two apparent factions within the Bronze Sect: one belonged to Chu Lingyuan, and the other to Qin Yun. As for those Dual Ninth-Rank, Molten Casting Sacred Profession Head of Seats, they were neutral parties who didn't offend either side; if there were orders, they would carry them out accordingly.
Now that Qin Tianlin was dead and Qin Yun under house arrest, Chu Lingyuan's faction was powerful. Su Chen, who had no foundation, was temporarily grouped under Chu Lingyuan's faction.
But Shen Yi'an actually didn't belong to the Chu Lingyuan faction.
For a mont, everyone couldn't figure out exactly what Wei Zhenghong ant right now. A warning knock?
"Wei Zhenghong, you look down on too much." Shen Yi'an lowered his eyes, indifferent and calm. "I am Shen Yi'an, not Qin Tianlin."
He didn't say whether he believed it or not; he naturally knew what Wei Zhenghong ant to express.
"Do you think my Shen Family has survived in the Sect for thousands of years relying on sches and tricks?" Shen Yi'an's voice grew higher and more decisive: "We rely on rules—not just the rules of my Shen Family, but the rules of the Sect. I will not think about, let alone do, anything that oversteps the bounds!"
"Good!" Wei Zhenghong praised loudly, raising his wine glass, "Then it was using a petty mind to asure a Gentleman's belly. We drink the sa pot of wine; the stronger everyone is, the stronger the Sect is, which benefits each of us."
At this point, Su Chen also stood up and said sincerely, "Everyone here is a person of broad-mindedness. It is my fortune to be in the sa Sect with all of you."
His emotion wasn't faked. He really didn't want to see another Qin Tianlin pop out to disgust him, which would require him to spare quite a bit of thought to deal with.
Everyone also stood up, raising their glasses in agreent. Wei Zhenghong bringing this matter out in the open actually made everyone much more harmonious. The gathering didn't end until they were Dead Drunk.
"Phew..." Facing the cold wind, Su Chen's eyes were clear. With his current physical fitness, there were truly few people present who could drink him under the table.
Boarding the Flight Vehicle, Su Chen sighed with emotion, "Old Wei truly has responsibility and courage, and Shen Yi'an doesn't seem to be faking it either. Mm... this is for the best."
Strictly speaking, since coming to the Bronze Sect, besides the Qin Yun Faction who had their eyes on his Star Seed position, there really wasn't anyone who was hostile to him.
