Chapter 1562 Concentrating Intent to Build One's Own Abode

Three days later, Chen Chuan returned to Zhongjing by airship.

Upon arrival, Kaiyang gave a heads-up, saying that a meeting would be held in early April.

Chen Chuan said he understood. In the past, the advisory group did not hold many meetings. Many things were directly authorized by the advisors and decided by the five-person group.

But the situation is different now. The invasion of demons does not seem to be over yet. It affects not only the Da Shun family, but also countries all over the world. It is a matter of great importance. Therefore, we have to involve all the advisors.

After disembarking from the airship, he transferred to a special vehicle and returned to his own space domain.

At this time, Ming Chengzi, who was in charge of investigating the clues, had not yet returned; only a wisp of divine energy remained on the island.
Hai Ping and Lu Ning were completely focused on their cultivation. Every day they ate and practiced, seizing every moment to cultivate. It seemed that their minds could not hold anything else.

In the era they lived in, resources were extremely scarce, and every cultivation resource had to be fought for. The treatment Chen Chuan gave them was not given for nothing; they were bound to go out and fight one day. Therefore, they had a strong sense of crisis and a strong desire to strengthen themselves, and they did not need any extra supervision.

His teammates are also training harder, with the intensity and pace greatly increased compared to before.

The conditions here are better than before in Jibei Province. They also know that the situation has changed. The Great Collision is like a sharp blade hanging over their heads, which could fall at any time. Therefore, everyone has a sense of urgency, and no one dares to waste time.

Chen Chuan briefly communicated with them using the boundary token, then returned to his room, changed his clothes, and spoke with his aunt, Yu Wan.

Having a skyline connection is very convenient, and as long as there are enough resources, you can directly project a person's image and the surrounding environment through the device, just like having the person by your side. So he has always kept in touch with his family and tells them where he goes.

After chatting with his aunt for a while, since it was evening and his younger cousins ​​were home, he also came upstairs and talked to them for a bit. He also took the opportunity to satisfy the two little ones' curiosity by telling them about the scenery and features of the Ruhr Khanate.

Nian Fuli was the last to answer the phone, and they talked about recent events in Jebu Province.

Chen Chuan can easily learn about some important high-level matters, but it is difficult to understand the situation at the lower levels unless one is on the local side. The city patrol where Nian Fuli works is precisely the one that has the most contact with this aspect.

In Chen Chuan’s mind, Jibei Road, as one of the five major central cities and the starting point of the skyline, will undoubtedly play a more important role in the future, and may even become one of the important collision sites of the Great Collision. Therefore, it is necessary for him to keep abreast of the situation in all aspects.

After the call ended, he greeted Chaoming and then went to the training ground alone. He drew his Snow Lord Blade, cut open a crack, and stepped inside.

After settling into the opposite world, he shifted his thoughts and instantly merged with the world, releasing his own domain and slowly transforming it into an independent space.

It is indeed much easier and more convenient to do this here than in the physical world; at least the feeling of facing resistance is gone.

However, there is still some pressure, which likely comes from the World Ring. This means that to break through the limitations, one still needs to go outside the World Ring. Throughout history, so many people seeking higher realms have gone to the other side, and there's a reason for that.

After this expansion of the field, he maintained his previous state. After a while, the vague sensation reappeared, but this time it was clearer than the sensation on the airship.

He felt as if he could gain something from it; this was a feeling stemming from his body's instincts. When he had this reaction, it meant that there was indeed something important or information present.

When he tried to delve deeper, he discovered that what he was actually experiencing was the fusion of two worlds.

He couldn't perceive the specific appearance of either world; it was merely a conceptual existence within his mind. However, he could sense the collision of world fields within this space, and something seemed to be brewing within that collision, though he couldn't see it clearly for the time being.

But when he tried to sense it a little deeper, he was suddenly jolted and then pulled out of that state.

He took a moment to reflect and found that the fire of his spirituality had dimmed considerably, and he also felt a weariness he hadn't experienced in a long time.

He couldn't help but be somewhat surprised, as such situations had become rare since he joined the ranks of fighters. And after achieving the Longevity and Profound Insight realms, the energy within his body was virtually inexhaustible; this feeling had almost become unfamiliar.

Therefore, he guessed that the reason for this was not only that the amount of information he saw was too large, but more likely that he had come into contact with things that were beyond his own level.

It's like carrying something beyond one's capacity, which is why this situation occurred.

He felt that what he had seen was very important to him and might help him break through his limits, so he decided to take a break first and then continue to try.

Over the next few days, he would first sit in meditation and wait until his condition was perfect before trying to observe.

Through repeated attempts, he seemed to gradually see more.

At the same time, he made an unexpected discovery: this seemed to be even faster than combat and digestion, and could accelerate his improvement. Perhaps he could accumulate more before trying it again, so that he could watch for a longer period of time at a time.

Besides these, he gained another benefit: without realizing it, the field he emitted became more solid and stable. He didn't deliberately study or observe the application of the field; just by observing, he felt his understanding of it deepened unconsciously.

At this moment, he could clearly sense that, in addition to the intricate arrangement of secret instruments, at least two higher-level forces were involved in the creation of this spatial field.

The process is also very particular, with the two people's powers opposing each other until the field is established and then disappears on its own. Therefore, they do not leave much of their own traces here. Even if they do regenerate, they will disappear again in the confrontation.

Therefore, in theory, whoever obtains this place can make good use of it without causing it to change hands. The cultivation and daily life inside will not be known to the two who invested their power. However, if an external upper-level force invades this place, they will sense it immediately. The arrangement is quite ingenious.

For example, the Lesser True Wonderland is definitely the work of the higher powers. However, it also did not leave its own mark. Otherwise, once it left the cover of the World Ring, its every move in the Lesser Wonderland would not be hidden from the original owner of the Lesser Wonderland.

He pondered for a moment. In his view, both this spatial field and the Lesser True Wonderland were tools to help him improve. However, these tools were created by others, so they were suitable for others but not for him in many ways.

Only one's own celestial abode or otherworldly realm can perfectly suit oneself, so now that he has learned of this, he should create his own "place" as soon as possible.

However, his current abilities may still be insufficient, and it will probably take a few more days.

He glanced at the time; it was already April 1st, the day the advisory group was to hold its meeting.

He dismissed the foreign minister, left the training ground, poured himself a hot drink, and asked Kaiyang to broadcast the news for the next few days. When it was almost time, he took a carriage to Danxin Hall.

I entered my own private meeting room through the passageway and sat down in my seat.

At this moment, it was exactly ten o'clock, the pre-arranged meeting time, and the figures of the advisors appeared in the surrounding simulated field.

Chen Chuanxin felt a slight stirring in his heart. Perhaps it was because of his cultivation over the past few days that he was able to perceive the emotions and state of these advisors through their simulated fields.

On the other side, Dai Xuming, still a member of the five-person team, presided over the meeting. He first talked about the situation of the Battle of the World Link in the Ruhr Khanate at the end of March.

This was just a routine explanation; the specific details all came from the report that Chen Chuan submitted after his return.

However, it mainly talked about the enemies he encountered and his views and judgments about them. He only briefly mentioned his personal methods in the specific battles.

The advisors present did not seem inclined to delve deeper into the matter. However, upon learning of the battle, each of them experienced complex emotions, and it could be said that their psychology underwent changes to varying degrees.

After saying this, Dai Xuming expressed his respect to all the advisors, especially Chen Chuan, and thanked him and everyone else for their contributions.

After all, this was not a battle within the borders, nor was it their obligation; their actions stemmed from a sense of responsibility for the greater good.

After saying all that, he continued with the rest of the meeting's agenda.

"I also have some news to share with you all. Currently, apart from the South Pacific region, the southern islands, the polar outposts, and other peripheral landmasses and islands, all other major regions around the world have been attacked by the other side."

As he spoke, three-dimensional images of countries around the world appeared in the field above. Red dots flashed wherever the area was attacked, and the size of the red light varied depending on the intensity of the attack.

The data also shows the number and timing of the attacks, but the defensive forces deployed by each country are not explicitly shown due to the secrecy surrounding those countries.

"Currently, major regions and countries around the world, including the Northern Nation of Norland, the Palaneo Faith Region, the Noros Theocracy, the Chrogado Confederation, and the Sammavoga Continent, have successfully resisted external attacks."

They provided us with some information, but some details were vague. We sent them an inquiry and are currently awaiting a response.

However, we can see that the enemy's most powerful offensive to date is concentrated in both our territory and the Federation territory.

And what we need to figure out next is…

Dai Xuming's expression became more serious.

"Are these offensives merely probing before a major bombardment, or a prelude to an even stronger offensive?"
