Chapter 455 Schiller's Breakthrough
With Liu Yuanming's cooperation, Chen Beiwu obtained conclusive evidence with just a few questions and inquiries.
To Chen Beiwu's surprise, Liu Yuanming's earlier statement was not an exaggeration. The major towns near Wanzhong Mountain City were frequently trading with the three major demon kingdoms, and even actively leaked the strategic secrets of the Immortal Alliance and the strengths and weaknesses of the Earth Abyss defense line, allowing the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom to occasionally achieve a great victory on the front line.
"Did the current Chief Inspector of Diyuan get involved in this matter?" Chen Beiwu pressed.
This is a crucial question.
Above the garrison commander is the patrol officer.
The Town Inspector holds a prestigious position and is usually a Nascent Soul True Monarch. The area under their jurisdiction includes seven or eight fortress nodes similar to the Myriad Mountain Cities.
Above the Town Patrol Envoy is the Chief Town Patrol Envoy, who represents the Immortal Alliance in patrolling the Abyss. The Chief Town Patrol is the highest-ranking official in the middle level of the Abyss, wielding immense power.
It is no exaggeration to say that every powerful individual qualified to serve as the chief inspector of the Abyss is a Nascent Soul True Venerable.
Therefore, during the interrogation of Liu Yuanming, Chen Beiwu did not even mention the name of the current commander-in-chief, lest Liu Yuanming sense something and realize the cause and effect and kill him.
"Commander Chen overestimates me," Liu Yuanming said with a wry smile. "How could I possibly be qualified to inquire about such important figures?"
'
"Too."
Chen Beiwu nodded and asked about another matter: "Does that town inspector Qiu Yishan have any accomplices?"
If a tree rots, it's because there's a problem with its roots.
Qiu Yishan, the inspector of Nanyuan Town, was Liu Yuanming's powerful backer.
"It's uncertain, but Su Zhiyi, the inspector of Beiyuan Town, and Qiu Yishan have always been on good terms, so he's definitely a prime suspect," Liu Yuanming said with a furrowed brow.
It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death!
Knowing that Chen Beiwu was truly capable of violently killing someone, he had no choice but to cooperate obediently, atone for his crime, and perhaps become a death row inmate in the future, embarking on a perilous mission to fight for his own survival.
"What a hassle!"
After recording everything Liu Yuanming said on the jade slip, Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of turbid air.
It's only because he has some connections that if an ordinary town magistrate dared to expose such a major case, he would most likely have made a mistake in his cultivation, gone mad and died, or be accused of committing suicide out of fear of punishment.
"Eek?" (Aren't you going to kill me?)
Zhiling looked up at Chen Beiwu.
After a few breaths of recovery, some of its depleted magical power has been replenished.
"There's no need to kill them all. Liu Yuanming is still useful, and we need to leave him alive so that the Immortal Alliance's Enforcement Division can investigate."
At this point, Chen Beiwu picked up his phone and opened the official website of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
Reporting this matter directly to the Immortal Alliance Enforcement Division is risky and could easily lead to trouble.
After all, Qiu Yishan is a Nascent Soul Perfection True Monarch. If he knew he would die and went mad, wanting to exchange his life for another, then exposing this matter would only make him a target.
"I now know that the Immortal Alliance Enforcement Division will take action soon."
Upon seeing the sect leader's reply, Chen Beiwu breathed a sigh of relief.
With a powerful figure stepping in, this little Karami can now cultivate in peace.
"Huh?"
Schiller moved closer to Zhiling and asked curiously.
The golden egg pretended not to care, but the three dragon heads moved slightly closer to Zhiling.
Clearly, they were all very interested in the new profound abilities that Zhiling had awakened during the battle.
【Mysterious Connection】: Annihilation Mysterious Light 【Attribute】: Possesses all five elements, primarily earth, belonging to the space attribute 【Rank】: Fifth-order Creation Yuan Technique 【Description】: The Seven-Tailed Purple Fox clan uses its bloodline as a guide to condense the Annihilation Mysterious Point. This point initially appears as a black dot, containing the principle of Annihilation. Its mystery cannot be seen, heard, or touched. It can transform into Annihilation Mysterious Light, reversing all things into the Qi of the Void.
Note: The Seven-Tailed Purple Fox can use secret methods to guide the flow of Qi from the void into its own body, enhancing its understanding of the Dao of the Void. However, if it is not careful, it is also easy to suffer the backlash of the Annihilation Mystic Light, which can harm itself.
With Zhiling's consent, Chen Beiwu used his divine sense to share the profound information with the golden eggs and the others.
"!!!"
The golden-egg dragon's eyes narrowed slightly, sensing something was familiar.
Before reading the description, this "Return to Annihilation Profound Light" seemed fine, but after reading it, it felt like a combination of the Three-Phase Furnace and the Three-Light True Domain.
"Eek." (It's different.)
Zhiling shook her head.
It could sense that the Annihilation Mystic Light was actually an extremely standard assassination technique.
If the opponent is caught off guard and gets tainted by the Annihilation Light it spews out, even a fourth-realm demon king with three immortal characteristics will perish on the spot.
Of course, even the most powerful mystical abilities have their limits.
With its current level of cultivation, it cannot use this move flexibly; at most, it can threaten or even kill a newly entered fourth-realm demon king.
Upon hearing Zhiling's explanation, the golden egg blinked its dragon eyes and suddenly realized what she meant.
No, it seems like it's being targeted!
This Returning Annihilation Mystic Light seems to be somewhat restraining its Three Phases Undying Mystic Power.
Tie Dan and Xue Le didn't think too much about it. They sent their congratulations with their divine sense and asked Zhi Ling why she didn't try the Samadhi Poison Sand they had made.
"Eek."
Zhiling blinked, her gaze unconsciously falling on Chen Beiwu.
Knowing that it is a form of tempering, it naturally will not use external substances such as Samadhi Poison Sand.
Otherwise, Chang Ming, Bai Yi, and Liu Yuanming would have died instantly without even a chance to fight back.
With the Jade Purity Sect Leader intervening, the cultivators from the Immortal Alliance's Enforcement Division arrived very quickly.
"Are you Chen Beiwu, the garrison commander of Wanchong Mountain?"
The leading monk was a serious-looking middle-aged man who took out his identification document as he spoke, proving his identity.
"Yes, do you need my cooperation in the investigation?" Chen Beiwu volunteered.
This middle-aged cultivator appeared ordinary, but he possessed a profound purple aura, clearly indicating that he was no pushover.
"No need. This matter involves a wide range of issues. Commander Chen only needs to keep it confidential."
The middle-aged cultivator remained indifferent, asked a few simple questions, and then took Liu Yuanming and his deputy away.
-
"Eek?" (Is that all?)
Zhiling wrinkled her nose, somewhat dissatisfied.
It hasn't forgotten that Liu Yuanming clearly has someone behind him who wants to target Beiwu.
"Don't worry, the Immortal Alliance Enforcement Division will handle this impartially." Chen Beiwu rubbed Zhiling's head.
The rules of the Immortal Alliance are not just for show.
Secretly sneaking around might go unpunished, but once someone is exposed and breaks the rules openly, they will definitely be severely punished.
As Chen Beiwu had predicted, that very night, both Qiu Yishan, the inspector of Nanyuan Town, and Su Zhiyi, the inspector of Beiyuan Town, were arrested and subjected to a thorough investigation by the Immortal Alliance.
The next day, the Immortal Alliance's Worldly Hall specially dispatched a team of cultivators to Wanzhong Mountain City to deliver the order.
"According to the investigation by the Immortal Alliance Law Enforcement Division, Qiu Yishan, the former patrol officer of Nanyuan Town, and Su Zhiyi, the patrol officer of Beiyuan Town, disregarded the important trust of the Immortal Alliance and abandoned their duty of guarding the border. They used their power as patrol officers to open trade routes privately and have been trading with the Qingqiu Demon Kingdom for a long time, illegally transporting various strategic prohibited treasures and pills. This has rendered the middle-level pass of the Earth Abyss ineffective and caused the border defense secrets to be leaked. Their crimes are unforgivable!"
According to the laws of the Immortal Alliance, the two were sentenced to death, their souls were imprisoned in the Soul-Suppressing Stele, and their crimes were publicized throughout the Abyss as a warning to others!
"Furthermore, Chen Beiwu, the garrison commander of Wanzhong Mountain, has discerned evil and reported it, thus rendering meritorious service to the Immortal Alliance. Upon the request of the Enforcement Department, the Shiyi Hall has approved:"
Chen Beiwu is hereby promoted to acting Deputy Garrison Commander of Nanyuan, concurrently holding the duties of the former Garrison Commander of Wanzhongshan, and is bestowed with one Thousand Origin Pill, a mid-grade fourth-tier Mystic Pill from the Immortal Alliance, as a commendation.
Upon hearing about the Immortal Alliance's reward, all the cultivators from Wanzhong Mountain present couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The Thousand Origin Pill is also very famous among the fourth-order Profound Pills!
The reason is simple: this pill is made from the essence of heaven and earth and the blood of a thousand beasts. If a demon king of the fourth realm with less than two thousand years of cultivation takes it, he can save himself from arduous cultivation, increase his cultivation by a thousand years, and break through to a higher realm.
Great stuff! Just a little too little, not enough to share!
After receiving the jade box and seeing off the envoy, Chen Beiwu returned to his cave with a headache.
At this moment, he could clearly sense that the three little guys, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, and Zhi Ling, were all staring intently at the jade box in his hand.
"Tell me, how do you want to divide it?" Chen Beiwu asked.
"Let's fight, whoever wins gets it!" Golden Egg said without hesitation.
"Woof." (Any way to allocate the loot is fine, whatever Beiwu says.)
Tie Dan swallowed hard.
"Hey!" (Based on merit, I deserve the most credit this time!)
Schiller raised his little hand to remind him.
"Indeed, Schiller deserves the most credit for my ability to quickly find evidence of Wan Chongshan this time."
Chen Beiwu's gaze swept over the three little ones, finally settling on Schiller.
Upon hearing this, Golden Egg and Iron Egg immediately lowered their heads.
"Take it now, and we will protect you."
Chen Beiwu opened the jade box and took out a crystal-clear Thousand Origin Pill.
In an instant, the fragrance of cinnabar filled the entire cave.
The golden egg turned its head away, choosing to ignore it.
Tie Dan, meanwhile, stared intently at the Thousand Origin Pill, saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Hearing the swallowing sound, Xuele hesitated for a moment, then directly broke the Thousand Source Pill into three pieces with her small hand.
"!!! Could it be?!"
The golden egg and the iron egg showed emotion in their eyes.
Seeing his two companions' reactions, Schiller grinned mischievously and deliberately swallowed all the Thousand Source Pills in one gulp.
Upon seeing this, Jin Dan and Tie Dan's eyes twitched slightly, and they couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Indeed, they shouldn't have had any expectations of Schiller.
Chen Beiwu shook his head speechlessly, then held his breath and concentrated, circulating the Primordial Cave True Fundamental Immortal Technique, ready to help Xue Le refine the medicinal power of the pill at any time.
"Hey!"
At first, Schiller didn't feel anything, but a quarter of an hour later, the faint five-colored halo on its body suddenly solidified and shone with intense light.
Golden light is sharp, blue light is endless, dark radiance is deep, red brilliance is intense, and yellow charm is rich.
As the five-colored light continued to flow, cycling endlessly, Schiller instinctively let out a groan.
This is not discomfort, but rather the comfort of the body being freed from shackles, with the blood vessels within the body undergoing a restless transformation, and also a surge in one's spiritual cultivation.
Seventeen hundred years!
Eighteen hundred years!
Nineteen hundred years!
With the aid of powerful medicinal properties, as time passed, Schiller easily broke through the barrier between realms, his aura changed dramatically, and his cultivation level surpassed two thousand years, reaching a staggering two thousand eight hundred years, equivalent to a mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch.
"boom!"
At the same time, Chen Beiwu shuddered and activated his immortal technique to refine the immense magical power fed back from the Co-existing Contract, nourishing his Dao Seed and Nascent Soul.
Soon, three days and three nights passed.
With the help of the power of the fellow practitioners that Scheller nurtured, Chen Beiwu's divine sense became more and more refined, and the bottleneck of reaching the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul began to loosen slightly.
The next moment, a feeling of perfection, of being just one step away from entering a new realm, entered Chen Beiwu's mind.
Everything is ready, except for the final push!
Chen Beiwu opened his eyes, his gaze calm.
He is now on the verge of reaching the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. He only needs to complete the One Yuan Proving Dao Ritual to break through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm naturally.
"How does it feel?"
Chen Beiwu asked in his mind.
"Hey!"
Schiller nodded, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Although it failed to awaken any new profound abilities this time, its combat power surged, and it was confident that it could suppress the golden egg with one hand.
"Eek?" (And you?)
"I'm curious," Wuqi Teng asked.
"It's alright, it's just the realm of 'seeing through all things and achieving enlightenment in a single thought'." Chen Beiwu smiled confidently.
Whether in the Immortal Alliance or in the Southern Wilderness, mystical arts of the fourth rank are all valuable mystical abilities.
Chen Beiwu currently doesn't have many fourth-tier mystical arts, and the only one suitable for multiple releases in a short period of time is the Divine Sense Killing Mystic Art [Silent Illumination of Myriad Phenomena Mystic Light Thrust].
However, that's enough. If he could unleash more than twenty Xuan Guang Thorns in an instant, even a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch from the Southern Wilderness would be exhausted from dealing with it, and might even perish on the spot.
He left a Five Qi Puppet in the cave to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and Chen Beiwu activated the Ten Directions Gate to return to the Southern Wilderness.
Shu You actually sent out three communication talismans in a row. Could it be that something happened to the Chengdu city defenses?
Chen Beiwu activated his magic power, and the three communication talismans that were floating outside the cave immediately fell into his hand.
He scanned the area with his divine sense and instantly understood why Shu You was in such a hurry.
"Perfect timing!"
Chen Beiwu smiled, and with a flash, disappeared into the cave.
On the other side, there is the Protectorate City and the Immortal Abode.
Still no news?
Su Lanyue took a sip of tea, her expression calm, as if she weren't the cultivator who had been left out in the cold for three days and three nights.
"Yes, President, there has been no news of Jingyue Daozi emerging from seclusion."
Zhao Yikun lowered his head slightly, subtly sealing his pores to prevent sweat from seeping from his forehead.
It was just a transaction of two Enlightened Heart Essences. He never expected that such a big shot as the Guild Master would condescend to come to the Capital Protectorate in person, and be left waiting for three days and three nights by the guest he had introduced.
This is terrible!
Kyozuki Michiko's arrogant attitude has embarrassed the guild leader.
This time, let alone becoming the head of the Pushengtian Chamber of Commerce, he'd be lucky if he wasn't implicated and demoted by Jingyue Daozi.
"Don't worry, you've done a good job in making the recommendation. It'll only take a few days. I won't blame you."
Su Lanyue glanced at Zhao Yikun, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
The people below place too much importance on so-called face.
How ridiculous! Why do business if you're afraid of losing face?
Besides, she was only waiting for Chen Ziang for a few days, which was hardly shameful.
Compared to such trivial matters, what Su Lanyue values most is the integrity of the Tian Gong Chamber of Commerce.
It's important to understand that for a cross-border chamber of commerce, the most important thing is not domineering power that intimidates others, but absolute integrity and strength.
If Zhao Yikun dared to promise to sell the Tongming Heart Essence, which the Chamber of Commerce had reserved for Shangyu Zhenjun, to Chen Zi'ang, thus damaging the Chamber of Commerce's reputation, then he would have committed an unforgivable crime.
"President, you flatter me, I—"
Zhao Yikun revealed a fawning smile, but before he could finish speaking, Su Lanyue suddenly raised her eyebrows, got up ahead of time, and walked out of the cave.
"President Su, I'm so sorry."
Upon seeing Su Lanyue appear, Chen Beiwu bowed and said, "I have gained some insights into my cultivation and have been delayed. I apologize for keeping you waiting so long, Su Lanyue."
The fact that the Tian Chamber of Commerce could become one of the top ten chambers of commerce in the Earthly Realm is truly remarkable.
As the president of the Heavenly Commerce Guild, Su Lanyue possessed unfathomable aura and her cultivation level far surpassed his, most likely being a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage or above.
While Chen Beiwu was filled with astonishment, Su Lanyue was also slightly moved and quite shocked.
How long has it been since Jingyue Daozi attained the status of a True Monarch? Six years? Or ten?
At this moment, Chen Zi'ang had actually completed the fetal breathing meditation and advanced to the peak of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!
It should be noted that even though their own Nascent Soul Ancestor possessed unparalleled talent and dominated an entire realm, it still took him a full forty years to complete the fetal breathing meditation.
