Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1560 Feeling limited and sealing one’s own path

Within that torn void, a pair of eyes were there, but their gaze was extremely indifferent. They glanced at the divine energy scorching the Xuan Kong Fire with great indifference before focusing their attention on Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan could feel that under that strong invading force, even the spiritual fire on the surface of his body seemed to be suppressed, and then invaded his body and the mutated tissues.

At this moment, my second self became almost ethereal, which gives you an idea of ​​the destructive power it contained.

The eyes seemed to notice him at that moment, staring at him intently for a moment, as if trying to remember him, before quickly disappearing.

As Chen Chuan watched the void return to its original state, he pondered for a moment and realized that it was not hard to imagine that the source of those eyes and the invading power undoubtedly came from some great demon.

It appears that it was able to project its own spirit onto him through the external barriers of the World Ring. Those senses of invasion were probably not intentional, but merely the aftershocks of spiritual power.

He had seen some high-level forces in the past, but in his personal opinion, this demon's performance was perhaps the strongest he had ever seen.

Thinking of that human-like gaze, he couldn't help but wonder if the other person was the one Mr. Jia had mentioned.
The possibility is very high.

That look in his eyes, which carried a slight sense of looking down on the mortal world, was incomparable to those self-important old gods, and was also very different from Ge Chongyi, who considered himself extraordinary.

Perhaps we'll have some dealings in the future.

It shouldn't be too long.

With a thought, the surrounding void shifted, and his own field merged with the rift field once again.

He glanced at the scattered remnants around him, all left behind by the ancient gods. With a thought, he collected them all into the field.

Although many of the lost items appear to be disposable and have already broken, there are still quite a few remaining that can be used by the Old Gods, so their level must be quite high. It can be considered a great harvest. I plan to examine them one by one when I get back.

After he finished dealing with it, he waited a while longer. Just as the Xuan Kong Fire was about to burn out, a tremor came from the field.

The first group of advisors finally arrived, and the first to arrive were Liu Changlin and Fang Yanxing, who had teamed up with him before. Tan Xubo, an advisor from Wuyi Academy, was also temporarily added.

When the three arrived, their expressions were all serious, and the spiritual fire on their bodies was unusually active, as if it would ignite at any moment, clearly indicating that they were ready to provide support and join the battle at any time.

However, when they saw the situation before them, they were stunned, because only Chen Chuan was standing there, and apart from the flames echoing in the sky, there was no one else worth attacking.

Liu Changlin and Fang Yanxing suddenly felt that this scene seemed somewhat familiar.

Seeing the scene before him, Tan Xubo could guess what was going on, and his expression changed slightly.

Fang Yanxing then asked, "Advisor Chen, we received your signal and came here. Where is Ge Chongyi? And where are those old gods?"

Chen Chuan said, "He has already been killed by me."

The sense of déjà vu between Liu Changlin and Fang Yanxing became even stronger, and they were both speechless for a moment.

As they spoke, the field shook more intensely, and another group arrived. These three were Gao Geliang, Tie Yinyang, and Geng Bocheng, who came from the Refined Cultivation Sect.

The reason they arrived a step late was because they encountered a lot of demons on the way. Although there seemed to be a lot of them, they had no commander and were just a disorganized mob, so they were not difficult to drive away.

However, given that Chen Chuan might be in deep trouble and urgently needed support, Liu Changlin's group decided to quickly advance and provide support, while their group was responsible for clearing the rear.

Now, with the arrival of the second group, after understanding the situation, they were shocked but also helpless as they looked at Chen Chuan. They had agreed to come and encircle and annihilate him, but he had done it all by himself.

In fact, they had already overestimated Chen Chuan as much as possible beforehand, otherwise they wouldn't have agreed to the previous plan. It was only after learning about the enemy's lineup that they felt somewhat uncertain.

These are not a group of demons that have been brought together, but ancient deities. This means that they will not only cooperate reasonably, but also make use of various divine objects. If the opponent has a good grasp of the rhythm in battle, the difficulty of the fight will increase double.

Therefore, in their imagination, Chen Chuan might be able to hold off the enemy, but he should be caught in a fierce battle and even have to retreat into the rift. They could understand all of this, but the current situation was something they had never expected, because it was too much of a challenge to their imagination.

Liu Changlin looked at Chen Chuan and thought about his previous conversation with Chen Chuan. His judgment was indeed correct. If Chen Chuan said he wanted to go back and deal with certain people, he would agree without hesitation.

As he was thinking this, he looked at Chen Chuan, only to see the latter glance at him and shake his head slightly. He immediately understood that the time was not yet ripe.

For a fleeting moment, a fighting spirit surged within him, but now it immediately subsided.

Fang Yanxing seemed to sense something and glanced at him, while the others didn't pay much attention, their focus was on Chen Chuan at the moment.

The two groups talked with Chen Chuan for a while and, after confirming the situation, both felt there was no need to stay any longer. Da Shun needed to be kept safe, so Gao Geliang's group left early, while Liu Changlin's group was responsible for a more thorough investigation.

Chen Chuan had exceeded his assigned tasks, so there was no need for him to continue. He returned to the rift to clean up the mess. As he entered the rift, the Xuan Kong Fire that had been hovering outside naturally retracted.

Song Nong was still waiting at the door. He hadn't seen much, but the oppressive aura emanating from the crack had rendered him immobile. The mutated organization was almost necrotic, which showed how powerful the enemy was.

But then those sensations vanished instantly. Before he could figure out what was happening, he saw Chen Chuan's figure stepping back from the rift. Startled, he immediately raised his hand in salute.

"Commander Chen!"

Chen Chuan nodded slightly and said, "General Song, the enemy has been completely dealt with. Do not relax. Continue to guard this place. If there is any situation, please report it in time."

Just as Song Nong was about to say something, she suddenly felt a slight throbbing between her brows. She sensed it was that spiritual energy. As long as she saw the enemy invading, she could use this to report to Chen Chuan privately.

He was immediately excited. Every person who became an advisor to the National Security Corps had the potential to rise to power.

In his view, since Advisor Chen joined the advisory group at such a young age, his chances were undoubtedly greater. In the future, he might also be someone who had dealings with the upper echelons, or even had some connections with them.

Chen Chuan said, "I'm leaving now."

Song Nong immediately said, "I'll see the officer off."

He personally drove the special car to take Chen outside. This time, they took a different road, where airships were waiting at any time.

About ten minutes later, Chen Chuan boarded the airship and left amidst salutes from Song Nong and a group of guards.

Sitting in the main cabin, Chen Chuan looked at the Ruhr Khanate under the afterglow of the setting sun. At this moment, he saw a red valley in the distance, blending into the sunlight on the horizon, like a burning flame.

Kaiyang immediately displayed the information, revealing that it was the famous Red Stone Canyon in the Ruhr Khanate, filled with rocks that looked like human hands. The most famous one was particularly large, resembling a hand reaching out from underground to grip the earth, with four waterfalls of varying sizes flowing out from between its fingers, earning it the name "Giant's Hand".

He was at a high vantage point and could clearly see the hand. At first glance, it did seem to be naturally formed, but upon closer inspection, and from the connecting part below, it could be seen that it probably came from a huge individual, but it must have been a very long time ago.

I don't know where the owner of the hand went. These kinds of things exist all over the world. I don't know what changes will occur after the big collision.

After watching for a while, Chen Chuan looked away and then reviewed the previous battle in his mind.

He also sensed that at this level of human ability, as long as one fully utilizes their own advantages, they can fight against all kinds of supernatural methods even without other assistance.

He had never experienced a similar intensity before, so he didn't know he could do that.

And because of his all-out effort in this battle, more and more positive feedback is now coming in.

In fact, the gains this time were not limited to these. Especially when he was in harmony with the person, he felt a sense of breaking free from constraints and reaching a higher level.

That was definitely not an illusion, because at that moment, the combined power of the two had already transcended normal limits and should have already met certain conditions for a breakthrough.

However, this breakthrough seemed to be missing something, and he even felt that doing so might be a mistake.

He couldn't help but recall some records from the Tianji Sect's scriptures.

According to some of the sayings there, in the old days, there was a hierarchy among those who went to the upper levels. According to the Xuanjiao (Taoist) teachings, the attainment of divine appearance was divided into three types of immortals: Heaven, Earth, and Human. Heavenly immortals were the highest, Earthly immortals were slightly lower, and Human immortals were the next lowest.

Human immortals need to rely on others, just like some deities who have been granted titles and can be driven by the Xuanjiao (a sect of esoteric Buddhism). Earth immortals, although not driven by superior forces, are usually confined to one place, capable of self-preservation but lacking ambition, and often need to rely on someone more powerful.

He guessed that if Emperor Wenguang were to achieve something in the end, it would be one of these two things.

Finally, only the Celestial Immortals can be considered truly unrestrained and carefree, representing the highest level of attainment. It is said that many founders of the Xuanjiao sect sought this path.

This is actually an outdated view, and the appearance of a human being is completely different from that of a god, but it can still be used as a reference.

It should be said that how to break through, what method to use, and whether it is the most perfect way to break through are all matters of consideration.

However, the key to understanding a person lies in self-reflection, so no one can tell him which path is the right one; he can only rely on his own feelings and insights.
