"This matter..."
Su Chen thought it over again and again, carefully perfecting his plan...
"I must make Lu Huai take that Profound Heaven Instrunt out. Otherwise, I would have to beat him to death for his portable Space to burst open. Then this matter truly would have no way To Conclude. It would be better not to make a move..."
"I can't make a move directly targeting the Profound Heaven Instrunt either..."
While thinking, Su Chen walked towards the Training Room.
Although he had already made up his mind to go "down the mountain" for a trip, before reaching the 8th-Tier, it was impossible for him to take risks.
Only after truly reaching the 8th-Tier could he be Doing with Ease.
Before this, even if those two guys suddenly went crazy, or used so thod to shorten the voyage to arrive before he advanced to the 8th-Tier, he wouldn't make any movents either.
Making a move this ti was originally to save trouble. If instead he had to take a greater risk and pay a greater price, it would be better not to make a move.
...
At the Bronze Sect's internal Starport, earlier Qing Cang had brought several Sect higher-ups to wait here.
Soon, a large silver-gray spaceship drifted out from the Star Gate, its surface covered in dense nano-etchings. Its bow slowly aligned with the Starport's magnetic track docking slot, and the thruster nozzles at the tail glowed with a faint blue light.
The gangway dropped, the cabin door opened, and Chu Lingyuan walked out first, closely followed by the Prison-Suppressing King and the Morning Stars of the other Sects.
"Senior Brother." Qing Cang called out as he moved forward.
Chu Lingyuan nodded and said: "During this ti, you've worked hard."
These words were truly from the bottom of his heart.
"It's no matter." Qing Cang shook his head, his gaze falling on the nurous Morning Stars, saying: "Everyone has co from afar and endured the hardships of travel. I have already arranged accommodations for everyone."
Hearing these words, Wu Yue shook his head instead, saying indifferently: "No need. Our purpose in coming is to inspect Su Chen's Talent. We don't plan to stop here for long. Take us to see Su Chen."
Chu Lingyuan and Qing Cang's brows both frowned. This matter was decided simultaneously by the various Ancient Kings and the Vast Sea Emperor; the two of them naturally wouldn't object.
It was just that Qing Cang pondered briefly, saying: "For inspecting Talent, the Profound Heaven Instrunt is still the most ticulous. This is also the reason why the Vast Sea Emperor mobilized the Profound Heaven Instrunt over from the Royal Court."
"Although you all have arrived, the Profound Heaven Instrunt hasn't arrived yet. If we go to see Su Chen now and inspect him, won't we have to inspect him again after the Profound Heaven Instrunt arrives?"
Although they were inside the Bronze Sect, Qing Cang still wanted to avoid unexpected events from happening.
With so many Morning Stars seeing Su Chen at the sa ti, who knew if so situation might occur? What if One in Ten Thousand Wu Yue or the Prison-Suppressing King lost their minds and wanted to strangle that kid? That was also an uncertain thing. Seeing him one less ti was better.
"Not bad." The Prison-Suppressing King also spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "Let's wait until the Profound Heaven Instrunt arrives and inspect him together."
Hearing these words, everyone's gazes were montarily sowhat astonished. Even Qing Cang and Chu Lingyuan couldn't help but look a few more tis.
These words faintly leaned towards the Bronze Sect. If Li Qingyi had said them, everyone naturally wouldn't be surprised, but the one saying these words was the Prison-Suppressing King.
For a mont, everyone thought that this was the Royal Court extending an olive branch to the Bronze Sect.
After all, the Bronze Sect was the only one currently known in the Dust Star Sea that could resolve the Mist Embers crisis.
"Let's talk about it after the Profound Heaven Instrunt arrives." Li Qingyi also spoke, and the other Morning Stars naturally wouldn't persist.
Although they were also extrely curious about Su Chen, the Bronze Sect's appeal was also justifiable.
Qing Cang led everyone away, their destination still the outer Satellite City—Dragon Abyss.
Having settled everyone in, Chu Lingyuan found a secluded place and still inquired sowhat uneasily: "Is Su Chen's Talent truly Divine Dawn? If it is True Radiance, we must make plans early."
"It definitely is. I've already tested him several tis. It's unmistakably Divine Dawn." Qing Cang said with certainty.
"That's good then." Chu Lingyuan nodded, saying with emotion: "I wonder what those Ancient Kings exactly experienced in the Flare Realm."
Along the way, he truly couldn't figure out why the several Ancient Kings suddenly wanted to inspect Su Chen's Talent.
Not just him, everyone couldn't figure it out.
"Who knows." Qing Cang didn't dwell on this matter.
Chu Lingyuan then said: "You go back first. I'll stay here to keep an eye on them."
...
In the Training Room, twisted and Violent thunder and fire surged and roared in the air like living creatures. The tal floor had long been lted into a patch of crimson by the high heat, steaming with heat waves like a thoroughly heated branding iron.
Above the crimson, charred black marks spread like spiderwebs. Those were the scars left by the repeated smashing of lightning arcs, small pits stacking one upon another, varying in depth, their edges charred black and curled up.
The air was filled with the pungent sll of ozone and lting tal. Su Chen sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. The outline of his figure flickered faintly, and only the explosive sounds of his bones could be vaguely heard. A shocking tamorphosis was taking place within his body.
Such a scene had lasted for a long ti. Su Chen's tightly furrowed brows had long since relaxed—
[Storm-Husk Martial Exalt Job Entry successful!]
[Mystic Artifact Lord has been strengthened -- Controllable Mystic Tools 1]
[Spirit Sacrificer has been enhanced!]
[The Sacrificed has been enhanced!]
[Newly born Professional Abilities have similar affinities to Exalted Projection and Sovereign Lord, Fusion in progress...]
[Obtained Professional Ability - Martial Sovereign: While continuously in a combat state, all bodily functions will receive enhancents, up to a maximum of five tis.]
"Phew..." Su Chen let out a breath. The dense Elental Particles condensed without dispersing until they were quite far from his body, only then expanding and instantly filling the entire Training Room.
Feeling the vigorously beating vitality and sense of power gradually rising within his body, the most intense tamorphosis had ended.
He opened his eyes, Sharp Gleam overflowing in his pupils. Feeling the completely different and far surpassing surging power compared to before within his body, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
"Finally advanced!"
The surging and billowing elental fluctuations around him gradually restrained. His body was undergoing minor changes. During this ti, he could be said to be in Focused Seclusion, solely elevating his Developnt Progress.
As soon as his Developnt Progress was maxed out, he imdiately used [Thunder's Wrath] to achieve Job Entry.
"The new Professional Ability is also not bad, a five-fold all-around boost. The intensity is already not low. It finally has an intensity approaching a Holy Class..."
Su Chen couldn't help but nod. A long ti ago, he had relied mainly on Holy Class abilities because the intensity of his Main Profession abilities couldn't keep up. Now it was finally passable.
This was the final tier before Morning Star, and also the most special Professional Tier. If one could advance to Morning Star, it was a completely different world. If not, one could only advance towards 9th-Tier Professions, and finally sit and wait for death.
And as for the relatively troubleso Spirit-Flesh Unity, he had also already completed it long ago. Flipping through the Job Entry requirents for Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted—
[...]
[Profession Requirent Two: Elevate at least five Forbidden Codex Tier ditation thods and Body Tempering Techniques to the Master Level.]
[Profession Requirent Three: Annihilate oneself with the Mark of End Thunder, then be born anew through Nirvana with the Seed of Scarlet Fla.]
[Profession Requirent Four: Complete the Scarlet Fla Core-lting and Thunder Punishnt Body-Forging Rituals.]
[Profession Requirent Five: Personally save an already fallen Life Star from the hands of an Evil God.]
"Tsk..." Even though it wasn't his first ti looking at it, Su Chen was still quite speechless.
Only 9th-Tier Body Tempering and ditation thods were called Forbidden Tos; 8th-Tier did not count.
In other words, to advance to Morning Star, one must operate 9th-Tier Body Tempering and ditation thods while at the 8th-Tier. This was an extre test of physical strength and ntal resilience.
Just based on the Profession Requirents alone, he needed to elevate five different Forbidden Tos of each type to the Master Level.
But under normal circumstances, Su Chen only needed three types to max out his Profession progress.
As for the other requirents, like the Scarlet Fla Core-lting and Thunder Punishnt Body-Forging Rituals, even for the Bronze Sect, it would take a very long ti to prepare them.
To complete these Profession Requirents, the effort expended was not ordinary at all.
Advancing to Morning Star, according to past experience in the Dust Star Sea, taking several decades was very normal, but Su Chen didn't want to waste so much ti.
"The only thing that can affect Morning Star Professions is Essence Power, but I only have Hei Tuo Source Power in my hands. This thing also can't weaken the difficulty."
"As for the Essence Power of other Evil Gods..." Su Chen pondered slightly. Although he could disguise himself as the High Priest of other Evil God Cultists, Essence Power was different from Divine Blood. This thing was even more precious; wanting them to bestow it was almost impossible.
Gathering so much Essence Power, the ti consud was estimated to be extrely long. It would be better to place his hopes on the Great Sun Trials of that Spiritual Tower.
"If I can obtain Perfect-Grade Eldritch Source Power again, naturally I can carry out a wave of major influence."
Su Chen calculated. Faint sounds ca from his body, like the crackling of matches, and also like the tremors of roaring thunder.
After advancing to the 8th-Tier, he still had so things to do. The first was to upgrade his Mystic Tools.
Although Weapon Nurturer was lted and cast into Sky-Scars, and then swallowed by the World-Slaying Manifestation, the process of upgrading Mystic Tools was still more or less the sa as before.
Besides upgrading Mystic Tools, he could also incorporate a new Mastery Secret Tool.
After so consideration, Su Chen decided it was still better to find a Great Hamr.
For speed, Physical Stamina, and the like, he had specialized Holy Classes. There was no need to seek them in Mystic Tools; it was still better to focus on strength enhancent.
The Materials consud to elevate all seven Mystic Tools to the 8th-Tier was no longer a small figure. At the very least, he couldn't just send it directly to Zhou Yunyang like before; it had to take a detour through Qing Cang to be approved.
"Senior Brother?"
"Senior Brother?"
Seeing Qing Cang not replying, Su Chen sent several ssages in a row before receiving a few words: "Got it!"
That exclamation mark at the end undoubtedly highlighted Qing Cang's current mood.
The Resources Su Chen swallowed up alone currently even rivaled a 9th-tier Class User.
"Sigh, Lao Qing doesn't have it easy either." Su Chen muttered secretly. Putting himself in his shoes, if he were Lao Qing facing himself, he would probably only say two words: "Get out!"
Thinking this way, he felt that Lao Qing was quite kind. At least until now, although displeased, he hadn't blocked his requests.
"The dividends from Purifying Mist Cinders haven't been fully eaten yet."
Pondering briefly, Su Chen then sent another ssage to Jiang Mufeng, asking for the approximate locations of Chu Lingyuan and the Profound Heaven Instrunt.
After all, they were all here to inspect his Talent, so it was perfectly normal for him to inquire about the related situation.
The other party didn't reply imdiately, and Su Chen didn't mind. He turned to open another data packet, and virtual Data surrounded him.
Before him were several blueprints depicting a sphere. The components were finely fragnted and extrely complex, involving many obscure and difficult-to-understand terms, as well as biotechnology and the like.
The Profound Heaven Instrunt was very special; it could elevate a lifeform's Talent. What faction wouldn't want it? It wasn't that no one had thought of recreating it, but without exception, they all ended in failure.
Even the Profound Heaven Sect themselves failed to recreate it. It was said that this was because it contained an extrely special substance inside.
But what exactly this substance was, no one knew.
And what was before his eyes was the related Intelligence that the various Factions in the Dust Star Sea had pieced together from the Profound Heaven Sect over the years. He had instructed Bo Siqi to purchase it from the Prophet Society.
"This Profound Heaven Instrunt, in essence, is also a special weapon..."
Previously, when he achieved Job Entry into Sky-Scars, it brought him a massive amount of related knowledge. Although he lacked the ability of simulated Forging, with just this knowledge alone, he was sufficient to rival a Grandmaster Artisan.
"The risk of destroying it is too great. If I just open a backdoor on it, the difficulty isn't that high."
"After all, this thing isn't a Morning Star Artifact. It doesn't have an ethereal thing like Spirituality; it only has Access Level locks."
For the past month or so, he had been pondering this matter and already had a clue. In terms of network Data, no one could compare to the Bronze Sect.
And soon, another ssage popped up. It was exactly Jiang Mufeng's reply—
"..."
He swept his gaze over it, sowhat surprised: "Chu Lingyuan and the others have already arrived. Lu Huai and Ni Chuan will arrive at the Mount Tai Nexus in another half month. It's less than a month before they arrive at the Bronze Sect..."
"In terms of ti, there's still enough."
Lao Qing's approval ca down, and he sent a ssage to Zhou Yunyang, asking him to deliver it to him as soon as possible.
With the higher-ups approving it, plus his special status, the Artifact Hall naturally didn't dare to delay. It only took two days.
Several transport spaceships arrived at his Floating Island, carrying down a large number of tal boxes. They were all the various Materials he had requested.
"This is the Core-Fission Sledgehamr..."
Zhou Yunyang opened the largest tal box. Inside was a giant hamr; the hamrhead alone was nearly three ters in diater. Its paint job was alternating black and red, like solidified magma entangled with fresh blood.
The surface was covered in spiderweb-like energy Patterns. The hamr handle was forged from multiple layers of composite tal, with a rough matte black layer wrapping around the continuously pulsing dark red light bands inside.
Seeing Su Chen looking quite satisfied, Zhou Yunyang actually felt very strange in his heart. From the 6th-Tier onwards, Su Chen had continuously updated the tiers of various weapons and requisitioned large amounts of tal Materials, but he had never seen Su Chen use this type of weapon.
But strange as it was, he had no right to question these matters. He just acted as a transporter.
"Right, where's your student?" Su Chen asked seemingly casually. "Didn't he co with you?"
Hearing Su Chen ask about He Peiting, a smile couldn't help but surface on Zhou Yunyang's face, and he said: "Who knows what got into that kid. He took a tempering mission and went out."
"Is that so? Quite the drive." Su Chen smiled. Zhou Yunyang echoed a few sentences and then led his people away.
The ti consud to upgrade these weapons was not short. Su Chen wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he put away all these Materials and raised his head to look at the Starfire in the sky, not knowing who he was waiting for.
Not long after, Bo Siqi arrived. Just as he stepped off the Flight Vehicle, he said enthusiastically: "What new task are you assigning to ?"
"Co, let's go inside and talk slowly." Su Chen smiled.
Bo Siqi had no suspicions and followed him into the Main Building, arriving at the Lounge.
"Senior Brother ah." Su Chen brewed a cup of tea and offered it.
Who knew that Bo Siqi, whose face was originally beaming with spring breeze, instantly froze. His buttocks seed to be on fire as he shot up. His expression changed a bit, and he helplessly gave a Bitter Smile: "Junior Brother, what matter could make you offer tea with both hands."
"Nothing major." Su Chen shook his head: "I just want Senior Brother to sleep at my place for a while."
"Just sleep for a while?" Bo Siqi was puzzled, "Does that require such a grand gesture?"
He reached out to take it, drained it in one gulp, "Bring it on."
"Pardon ." Su Chen grinned, his eyes flashing slightly. Surging Psionic Power poured out. Bo Siqi didn't even have ti to speak before his eyes rolled back and he actually fell straight backwards. However, he didn't crash onto the ground, being supported by a formless power.
He reached out and pinched. The shadow cast by Bo Siqi on the ground trembled slightly, and a glaringly obvious shadow thread was pulled out.
Imdiately after, he placed Bo Siqi into a rest pod on the second floor. The pod was filled with anesthetic gas, enough to keep a Fourth-Tier Professional like Bo Siqi asleep indefinitely.
Imdiately, his physique gradually adjusted, actually transforming into Bo Siqi's appearance. Naturally, he couldn't use his own identity when going out.
Although keeping Old Bo here was the sa even if he didn't step out of the door.
However... Old Bo was a living person after all. It was hard to guarantee no unexpected situations would occur. To be safe, this state made him feel more at ease.
With everything prepared properly, Su Chen left the door, boarded the Flight Vehicle, set the coordinates, and headed to the Bronze Sect's Starport.
