The two roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. Qing Cang said in a deep voice: "The matter of He Peiting must be strictly sealed off and cannot be leaked."
"Yes." Peng Hui first agreed, but then hesitated and said, "But if Lu Huai and Ni Chuan speak of it..."
"You don't need to worry about that." Qing Cang waved his hand.
"Understood. Then I'll go clean up the scene first." Peng Hui went offline.
"His thieving heart refuses to die, Black Buddha." Chu Lingyuan's voice was cold and sharp.
Qing Cang nodded: "The Mist Embers entwining the Starfire were his calculation. Now that it was destroyed by Su Chen, he naturally isn't resigned to it. I didn't expect his movents to actually be so fast. He Peiting..."
"This ti, we actually have to thank that Crimson Cultist, otherwise who knows what great disaster would have brewed."
"Su Chen should be fine, right?" Chu Lingyuan asked with concern.
Qing Cang shook his head: "He should be fine. This He Peiting clearly still wanted to return to the Sect. If his plot had truly succeeded, he definitely wouldn't return again."
"He is just an Advent Body after all. Although his Concealnt is strong, wanting to use various thods is also more difficult."
"Where is Su Chen now?" Chu Lingyuan was still sowhat worried.
Qing Cang pondered: "Not long ago he inford that he is preparing to advance to the 8th-Tier."
"Advance to the 8th-Tier?" Chu Lingyuan's expression showed shock, turning into a sigh: "Unimaginable. Since this is the case, then we will see him after his advancent is complete."
Main Profession advancent was a tedious process; he definitely wouldn't interrupt.
"However, the interior of the Sect will probably have to be screened again." Chu Lingyuan's expression restrained itself as he spoke solemnly.
...
"Deacon Zhou..."
"Martial Uncle Zhou..."
Zhou Yunyang's face was flushed with success. During this period, he could be described as riding the crest of success.
Taking in He Peiting was truly not a mistake, further strengthening his relationship with this big thigh, Su Chen.
"Although this kid only has a single Profound Purple Talent and his future achievents are limited, as long as this Incense and Offering Sentint isn't cut off, there will definitely be a place for him in the Sect in the future."
Greeting people along the way, Zhou Yunyang had already arrived at the Artifact Hall.
However, the attendant standing at the door had a bit of worry on his face. He quickly walked forward and said in a low voice: "Deacon Zhou, there's a matter."
"What matter?" Zhou Yunyang looked over, but the attendant didn't speak, only pointing upwards.
Zhou Yunyang restrained his expression, his eyes narrowing slightly, and then blood into a smile again, "I know, many thanks."
Soone was waiting for him upstairs, and it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Zhou Yunyang vaguely felt the obscure scrutinizing gazes cast from all sides, and walked up the stairs with a steady pace.
The office door was left slightly ajar. He could already feel several fierce Auras inside. With slight hesitation, he pushed the door open and entered.
His expression instantly changed. Sitting in his seat was impressively the master of the Punishnt Hall—Wu Feng.
"Hall Master Wu!" Zhou Yunyang had already prepared himself ntally, but hadn't expected it to be this kind of lineup. However, being a two-faced person for many years after all, he forced a smile, "How co you are here?"
Bang!
The door behind him closed, and two people stood on each side.
Wu Feng's gaze was profound: "Zhou Yunyang, you are also an old-tir in the Sect, and the Zhou Family was also glorious for a ti three thousand years ago..."
Hearing these words, Zhou Yunyang's expression slightly changed. Restraining his expression, he gave a Bitter Smile: "Hall Master Wu, don't put pressure on . I ask myself and have a clear conscience regarding the Sect. If there really is any matter, please just say it directly."
A strange look flashed across Wu Feng's eyes. He had heard that Zhou Yunyang was extrely smooth and slick, always greeting people with a three-part smile first, and almost never making enemies.
Sotis, even if he suffered a loss, he would actively try to make up for it. He originally thought he was a timid and cowardly person.
Wu Feng's expression turned stern as he said in a deep voice: "Upon investigation, your student He Peiting is Black Buddha's Advent Body. Did you know of this matter?"
"Wh...at?!" When the voice faded, Zhou Yunyang had already frozen, not even reacting for a mont?
This news directly pierced through the good mindset he had cultivated for many years. His entire person was like being struck by explosive thunder, his mind completely blank.
"Black Buddha's Advent Body... that news..." He repeated unconsciously. However, that He Peiting who kowtowed to him, was reprimanded by him, and said he would care for him in his old age and see him off when he died, was actually Black Buddha?
That illustrious Great Eldritch God?
The shock level of this news far exceeded Zhou Yunyang's information processing speed...
A long ti later, he finally reacted. A chill rose from the soles of his feet, shooting straight to his forehead. He shuddered, put on a long face, and wailed: "Hall Master Wu, this matter... this matter... I know absolutely nothing ah!"
...
"Mhm..."
Bo Siqi slowly opened his eyes, still sowhat blank for the first mont. Only then did he see clearly that Su Chen was standing before him.
He only felt his head was sowhat aching, couldn't help but shake it and ask: "The matter is done, how many days have passed?"
"Less than a month in total," Su Chen said concisely.
Bo Siqi patted his face, walked to the mirror on the side of the room, and couldn't help but curse: "I haven't eaten or drunk much for a month, how co I haven't lost any weight!"
Hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but be amused: "This resting pod strictly controls the nutrient supply. It won't let you lose even a single gram of at."
"Sigh." Bo Siqi shook his head speechlessly, changing the subject to ask, "Where did you go? Roughly tell so I can have an explanation if others ask."
"Mount Tai Nexus, to purchase so Resources..."
The two simply matched their stories. Bo Siqi naturally wouldn't ask too much. He chatted idly with Su Chen for a few sentences, then left the Floating Island.
"Lu Huai and Ni Chuan will still take two days to arrive..." Su Chen's thoughts shifted, already completely unconcerned about this matter.
What he was considering now was how to obtain more Divine Blood as soon as possible, to get that big thing worth three hundred drops of Divine Blood out.
Su Chen walked towards the Training Room, and suddenly rembered another matter: "There's also the matter of that Imasurable Buddha. Since the Morning Stars of all the Sects happen to be here, should I think of a thod to point this matter out? But I definitely can't do it using my identity..."
Su Chen thought for a while, gathered his mind, and looked at the Status Panel, quite expectant—Inexhaustible Titan, Job Entry!
In an instant, Su Chen only felt his heart palpitate, as if invisible fingers had ruthlessly gripped his flesh-and-blood body, suddenly tightening.
Imdiately following, a numb, scalding warm current exploded from deep within his dantian, frantically spreading along his limbs and bones. A faint shadow of a colossal giant was outlined around his body.
The degree of bodily modification from "Inexhaustible Titan" exceeded Su Chen's expectations. His muscles twitched, and sweat fell like rain.
He didn't know how long had passed when Su Chen's expression suddenly relaxed—
[Inexhaustible Titan Job Entry successful. Obtained Professional Ability—Heart of the Titan: 30% of the force consumption exerted by various abilities will be converted back into Physical Stamina.]
[Obtained Professional Ability—Wrath Feedback: 30% of the damage received will be converted into one's own Physical Stamina.]
"These abilities..." Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, examining them carefully.
A portion of consud Physical Stamina returning. This was much more abnormal than basic recovery. Not counting anything else, under a brief conversion, it was equivalent to allowing him to elevate two and a half Mystic Tools to the 9th-Tier without any loss.
The second one goes without saying. Damage conversion—a sharp weapon for bitter battles. As long as it was within his tolerance range, the more intense and frequent the attacks, the longer he could persist.
Su Chen's experience was already very rich. The text descriptions of Professional Abilities were just text descriptions, but in specific use, there were many points to note.
Any ability had to be within the upper limit of tolerance. If he encountered a Bright Moon Tier attack, not only would he be unable to convert it into Physical Stamina, but it would directly blast him to death.
"If combined with the World-Slaying Manifestation's Immovable Vajra..." Su Chen's Adam's apple bobbed.
The ability of Immovable Vajra was that as long as the attack didn't exceed the defense limit, he wouldn't be injured, it would just turn into Physical Stamina offset instead. And this Inexhaustible Titan could convert damage into Physical Stamina.
"Tsk tsk, just thinking about it is satisfying. My Peak Condition is almost turning into my regular state." Su Chen was deeply satisfied. Both of these abilities were what he needed.
After slightly adjusting himself, he waved his hand, and two Virtual Screens appeared before his eyes. On them were densely packed text and motion guides.
These were the Forbidden Codex Tier ditation thod and Body Tempering Technique he had requisitioned, respectively nad 'Cosmic Punishnt Thunderfire' and 'Origin Calamity Purgatory'.
Forcefully circulating high-tier Body Tempering and ditation thods was not a good thing. On one hand, it would cause a huge burden on the body; on the other hand, efficiency wouldn't increase, and might even decline instead.
But these were Profession Requirents. Regardless of whether they could be reduced in the future, right now he definitely had to use them as the standard.
His brows were tightly furrowed, groping his way forward bit by bit. The difficulty of the Forbidden Codex Tier indeed far exceeded his previous Body Tempering and ditation thods.
Crackle!
A sar of pitch-black Lightning Glow erged, gradually wrapping him up.
...
A few days later, Ni Chuan and Lu Huai arrived at the Bronze Sect. The people greeting them here were only Qing Cang, Li Qingyi, and the Prison-Suppressing King.
Qing Cang was the host, while Lu Huai and Ni Chuan belonged to the Royal Court and Profound Heaven Sect respectively.
"You two have worked hard." Qing Cang greeted them perfunctorily with absolutely no sincerity.
"Coming on the Ancient King's orders, it's not hard work." Lu Huai shook his head, his eyes strange. He had reported the matter of He Peiting to Li Qingyi the day after the attack, and he believed Ni Chuan had also reported it to the Prison-Suppressing King.
However, they hadn't suffered any damage. It was only considered a routine report, and neither paid much attention to the matter. But seeing Qing Cang right now, he couldn't help but think of it again.
After greeting each other individually, they went to see the other several Morning Stars.
Wu Yue still had that impatient look, saying unceremoniously: "Since the Profound Heaven Instrunt has also arrived, then let's go inspect his Talent."
This ti, the others actually had no objections. They had delayed here long enough.
"Everyone, please follow ." Chu Lingyuan led the crowd and headed towards the Bronze Core. The inspection location was in a certain building within the Bronze Core.
Su Chen had long been waiting here. However, after the crowd entered the room, their first glance was at the illusory figure standing beside Su Chen, and their expressions all changed sowhat.
The shadow of the Bronze Ancient King!
"It's just inspecting Talent, is it necessary to go this far?" Qi Heng said helplessly.
Qing Cang, however, said indifferently: "One cannot lack a defensive heart against others."
The several people were secretly speechless. Only then did Su Chen greet them in turn. Regardless, these were Morning Stars of various Sects.
"It's Commander Ni..." When it was Ni Chuan's turn, Su Chen still looked sowhat surprised. "I didn't expect you and I to actually et again here."
Ni Chuan's expression was complex, but he also nodded and said: "Star Seed Su, you are too polite."
Su Chen would inevitably be a Morning Star in the future, and nine tis out of ten would beco an Ancient King. He had no qualifications to be arrogant.
"Senior Brother Lu..." Li Qingyi's voice was gentle. Lu Huai nodded, extending his hand and taking out the Profound Heaven Instrunt.
Everyone's gaze instantly converged. The attitudes displayed by Qing Cang and Chu Lingyuan were very ordinary. They had definitely secretly asured Su Chen's Talent. Since they acted so indifferently, it probably had nothing to do with True Radiance.
But with the matter at hand, the crowd inevitably had various thoughts surface again. If Su Chen truly was True Radiance...
The thoughts of the several people fluctuated. But they saw Lu Huai point his finger, and that Profound Heaven Instrunt actually slowly floated up, landing above Su Chen's head. It hung down wisps and threads of light, wrapping Su Chen entirely up.
Su Chen felt sowhat surprised in his heart... This thing really was quite different from ordinary detectors. However, it had already been trained by the Unsullied, so he wasn't worried.
Sure enough, a brilliant and clear white pillar of light erged—it was the Light of Divine Radiance.
Chu Lingyuan and Qing Cang's expressions were indifferent. This was within their expectations.
The other several didn't have any special expressions either, only Wu Yue looking sowhat disappointed.
"It really was a misunderstanding," Li Qingyi said gently. Lu Huai hooked his hand, and the Profound Heaven Instrunt fell back into his hand, putting it away.
Chu Lingyuan looked around at the crowd and said: "Right now there is no doubt that Su Chen is Divine Dawn. Everyone doesn't have any objections, right? If there are no objections, it will be good to report to the various Ancient Kings and the Vast Sea Emperor later."
"Illuminated by the Profound Heaven Instrunt, naturally there are no objections." The Prison-Suppressing King was sowhat embarrassed. The order had been issued by the Vast Sea Emperor after all.
"Since this is the case, we also won't stay here long, taking our leave first." Qi Heng opened his mouth to bid farewell.
"I'll see everyone out." Chu Lingyuan started moving. Right at this ti, his Comm-Bracelet suddenly vibrated violently.
His eyes shifted slightly. Sweeping his hand over it, a palm-sized Virtual Screen popped up. Looking at it, his expression froze, and he raised his head to look at Wu Yue.
It wasn't just him; the Communicators of the other Morning Stars also had similar reactions. After opening them to check, they all looked at Wu Yue as well.
He was similarly looking down, his face ugly, suppressing his fury.
"The True Martial Sect was suddenly attacked by Evil Gods. It's suspected a Great Eldritch God's true body has descended. The situation doesn't seem too good," Chu Lingyuan said with an obscure aning.
Hm? Hearing this, Su Chen's spirit was roused.
"Hmph..." Wu Yue snorted coldly, saying in a deep voice: "Disappointing everyone, my True Martial Sect's Radiant Moon Essence was transferred long ago."
Transferred?
The several people were sowhat surprised. The Prison-Suppressing King looked even more disappointed than Chu Lingyuan and Qing Cang.
"Farewell." Wu Yue left directly.
The footsteps of the nurous Morning Stars were also sowhat hurried. The True Martial Sect wouldn't necessarily be the last one to suffer an attack.
"What a pity..." Qing Cang watched the several people leave, sighing: "The True Martial Sect is quite smart, to actually transfer the Radiant Moon Essence in advance. The movents of the Evil Gods are becoming increasingly frequent."
Saying so, he reminded: "In the future, anyone who deliberately approaches you, you must be careful."
This was clearly because of the matter of He Peiting. Su Chen naturally knew. He heard that Zhou Yunyang had even been investigated for several days. When he returned, his spirit was listless, and he stayed indoors with closed doors for several days.
"Got it." Su Chen feigned helplessness, changing the subject to ask: "Senior Brother, how many reserves of Divine Blood does our Sect still have?"
"Divine Blood?" Qing Cang seed as if he had been triggered, looking over with vigilance on his face. "You want Divine Blood again?"
"Uh..." Su Chen was helpless, bracing himself to say, "Can it be transferred?"
"What do you think?" Qing Cang was expressionless.
Su Chen's eyes flashed slightly, saying: "Then can I ask Senior Brother to go stop the Prison-Suppressing King and propose a trade with him? I can help the Royal Court Purify Mist Cinders, trading for Divine Blood."
This idea of his hadn't just popped out suddenly.
He had carefully pondered it for several days. He definitely couldn't point out the matter of the Imasurable Buddha overtly.
But thinking from another angle, the other party's idea was to use Purifying Mist Cinders to bewitch the Royal Court.
Then he would simply propose directly to help Purify Mist Cinders. Having a second choice, the Prison-Suppressing King naturally wouldn't excessively obey that Imasurable Buddha's instructions.
After all, his side was the one with real examples to refer to.
Moreover, Purifying Mist Cinders could also obtain Mist Source. Feeding it to the Heavenly Sovereign could yield quite a few benefits, and he could also trade for Divine Blood. It was simply Three Birds With One Stone.
