Chapter 1547 Opening a New Path and Gaining New Blood
Inside the cabin, Chen Chuan also sensed a strong surge of energy coming from below.

He nodded slightly; that was about it.

Inside the cabin, Gu Wenqing supported himself on the ground with one hand, breathing rapidly. A sliver of light emanated from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.

When Tang Wenzhao and Yu Jingjing saw his condition, they tried to help him up, but they were blocked by an invisible force and could not get close no matter what they did.

The two exchanged a glance, guessing what was going on, and cautiously left the cabin.

Gu Wenqing was breathing rapidly, her body temperature rising quickly. In the past few days, she had been following Chen Chuan's teachings, consolidating her inner strength and preparing herself for a breakthrough at any time.

Just now, several beings at the level of the Longevity Temple arrived one after another, and there was also a battle at the level of the Profound Cave Temple. During this time, all the participants released their spirit and field.

Although most of the power was blocked by the spiritual essence, even if a little bit of it seeped in, he, a person with spiritual abilities, could still clearly sense it.

The energy in his body was already like water overflowing the rim of a cup. Under such intense stimulation, he could no longer suppress the power that had accumulated to its peak, and his surging spirit overflowed outwards.

Relying on the method Chen Chuan had previously told him, after a brief interception, he completely relaxed his mind and rushed towards the other world with a surge of high spirits.

He saw his field of vision seem to have become extremely high, and then the world suddenly changed. He seemed to be clinging to the top of some enormous object, and there he saw many things that he could not understand.

But he remembered his teacher's instructions and advice: he didn't need to look at those things or care about them. All he had to do was hide himself and become the most inconspicuous one.

He then quickly withdrew his divine power and began to absorb the boundless energy within.

As you can see, his breathing became increasingly rapid, and with each breath he exhaled a strange gas. The surrounding area gradually darkened, and viscous liquid dripped down. He was using his body as a vessel to repel the alien invasion from outside the sky.

At this moment, flickering orange flames surged from his body. These were spiritual flames that could no longer be suppressed, and the impurities were quickly burned away by the flames.

As he ran through the machine again and again, he lost track of time. By the time he came to his senses, the storm outside had already stopped.

In his perception, the whole world had become completely different, as if he could observe it in a different way, yet he didn't feel unfamiliar at all, as if it were something he was born with.

In his mind, his body seemed to be merely an outer shell that carried him, and he felt as if he could detach himself from it at any moment.

But all of that was secondary. At this moment, a heartfelt joy welled up within him, because he knew that he had successfully crossed the barrier and become a fighter.

Chen Chuan saw every detail of Gu Wenqing's breakthrough from the main cabin above. Given his past cultivation and spiritual strengths, he would undoubtedly embark on the path of cultivating to the level of a god.

Each of the three paths has its advantages and disadvantages, but the best one is the one that suits you best. If you feel that you cannot exert much power, it is mostly because your own potential is insufficient or you do not have enough resources.

He glanced at the data provided by Kaiyang and could tell that Gu Wenqing's breakthrough was relatively easier than in the past.

In fact, this final period before the Great Crash may be the easiest time for fighters worldwide to break through their limits.

If you're on the verge of breaking through your limits, you should seize the opportunity and do your best to break through your own limitations, because when the big crash comes, no one can say for sure what it will be like.

Footsteps sounded outside, and Huo Zhuifeng walked in. He said, "Thank you, Consultant Chen."

He was thanking Chen Chuan for guiding his apprentice, which allowed the latter to reach even greater heights.

Chen Chuan asked, "How does Detective Huo plan to train him in the future?"

Huo Zhuifeng pondered for a moment and said, "I will take him with me. Based on my experience, it shouldn't be difficult to guide him to the Changsheng Temple. As for whether he can get to the Dongxuan Temple, that depends on himself."

At this moment, Chen Chuan activated the Lower Realm Token and transmitted a piece of information to him.

This contains many secret teachings about the cultivation of divine forms, information held by the advisory group.

Superior spiritual practices that are impossible for ordinary people to find can be freely browsed by the consultant.

However, this does not mean that they will casually hand over their talents to others, but will only invest them in talented individuals.

This kind of behavior is also encouraged by those above.

One of the consultant's responsibilities is to cultivate and promote talented fighters as much as possible. Gu Wenqing's talent is quite outstanding, and his character is also acceptable, so he is willing to invest in him.

In his view, Gu Wenqing has a good chance of reaching the level of the Longevity Temple. As for whether he can go further, that depends on his fate and luck. This path cannot be traversed solely by resources.

After reviewing the information, Huo Zhuifeng immediately realized that this favor was not easy to accept, but he also had no way of refusing it.

He chuckled, "Advisor Chen, this time it really takes both my apprentice and I working for you."

Chen Chuan said, "It's not that you're risking your life for me, Chief Inspector Huo. The Big Crash is coming soon, and every extra person will be a greater help."

Huo Zhuifeng looked at him and asked, "Is it really coming?"

Chen Chuan gave him a very definite answer: "It will be soon." Huo Zhuifeng was silent for a moment. He knew that the Great Collision was coming, but he couldn't say exactly how long it would take. After all, he had heard about it since he embarked on the path of martial arts training, and he was tired of hearing about it.

But judging from Chen Chuan's tone now, it seems it will happen in the near future.

How should I put it? I felt like I had prepared for this for a long time, but when it actually happened, I found that my past preparations were far from enough.

Chen Chuan glanced outside and said, "We'll be at Luozhijia soon. I'll transfer to an airship to return to China there. For safety reasons, Chief Inspector Huo, you should come with me this time."

"it is good."

Huo Zhuifeng simply stopped thinking about it too much. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Some things are not for him to worry about.

He sat down on the sofa opposite Chen Chuan, and only then did he have time to pick up the teacup on the table and take a sip. "Is this Dharani tea?"

Chen Chuan said: "It was a complimentary item on the ship."

Huo Zhuifeng clicked his tongue: "I was wondering why I didn't quite like the taste. But as far as I know, the tea trees in Chiluojiaduo were transplanted from our Da Shun, right?"

Chen Chuan said: "It's not surprising. During the transition between the old and new eras, many interests in the Eastern Continent were seized by other countries."

But dwelling on these things now is pointless. If a massive attack were to occur, it's uncertain how much territory we could even defend, let alone these other things. Furthermore, regarding the fight against extraterrestrial enemies, the positions of various countries are largely aligned; former enemies may well become partners.

Huo Zhuifeng said, "But I think some countries can't be judged by common sense. Expecting them to have a big picture perspective is ridiculous." He shook his head.

Chen Chuan said: "As long as they want to survive, the world order will eventually be reshaped, and those who can't keep up are destined to perish."

"But I don't think so. If you can live well by joining the other side, then plenty of people would join them. Otherwise, there wouldn't be certain forces stirring up trouble there, right?"

Chen Chuan said calmly, "Destruction may not only be brought about by the other side, but it can also be given by us."

This statement can be described as menacing.

Huo Zhuifeng paused slightly upon hearing this, because he knew that this person was probably not just talking, but truly capable of doing it.

He took a sip of tea; although he disliked the taste, he figured he'd make do with it for now.

After putting the cup back on the table, he said, "Not long after I became the patrol captain of the police station, the first case I handled was a murder case. The case was actually very simple: a family of five was killed, and the murderer was caught two hours later."

But he was released just half an hour later on the grounds of insufficient evidence. What evidence was insufficient? I personally investigated that case, don't you know?

That's only because the perpetrators have powerful connections, and the police department can't afford to offend them.

Do you know why he killed someone?

He just wanted to have some fun that day, so he randomly killed a family and even made a bet that he would be released an hour later. I was helpless and could only watch him go.

Chen Chuan looked at him and asked, "And then?"

Huo Zhuifeng said, "Later? That was ten years later. I became a fighter, and the first thing I did was go back and shoot him dead."

At that time, the perpetrator was running for local councilor with the support of his family, and he had just reached the legal age to run. Yes, he was only thirteen years old when he committed the crime.

He put a cigarette in his mouth. "During those ten years, I actually investigated many terrible cases, many of which were far worse than this one. But this case was so special in my memory that it left a deep impression on me and even became a knot in my heart."

At the time, I thought, the world is already so bad, how much worse can it get with a massive impact? Let it be destroyed.

However, this is just a naive and arrogant idea. I'm using my emotions to represent everyone else. There are so many people in the world struggling to survive and trying to live. I have no right to make decisions for them or to deprive them of their right to live.

"You can only shoulder responsibilities as big as your shoulders can bear; anything more is just self-pity and utter nonsense."

He drank the tea in one gulp, put down the cup, and stood up.

"I'm going to check on my apprentice, Advisor Chen. If there are any enemies to deal with, count me in." After saying that, he walked out.

After he left, Chen Chuan took the Snow Lord Blade and slowly wiped it with a cloth.

Half an hour later, the ship successfully returned to Luozhijia, where they transferred to an airship to return to Zhongjing.
