From Celestial Official to Great Celestial Venerable

Chapter 106 Returning to the Blessed Land
huh~~
Strands of spiritual energy, like mist, were "absorbed" into Qin Chuan's body, consolidating his newly advanced Foundation Establishment True Essence.

While cultivating, Qin Chuan did not forget to add points to his various cultivation techniques.

Having just obtained 12,000 points of magical essence from the evidence looted from Zhao Famo's private cave, Qin Chuan decided to first add points to the 'Ancient God Body Refining Technique', 'Thunder Treasure Refining Technique', and the most important 'Thirteen Transformations of God' that he had come this far.

[The furnace master consumed 1000 mana essence, and the Ancient God Body Refining Technique broke through to the ninth level of the Mortal Transformation Realm]

[The furnace master consumed 1000 mana essence, and the Thunder Refining Technique broke through to the second-tier treasure technique level.]

Transcending to the Mortal Realm is a state of being from ancient times, equivalent to the Qi Refining stage.

As Qin Chuan felt the surge of physical strength flowing into his body, he immediately swallowed several Qi-Nourishing Pills. With the help of his Foundation Establishment stage true essence and divine sense, he began to temper his physical body according to the methods of the nine levels of body refining.

Whether it's cultivating Qi to become an immortal or transforming from mortal to god in ancient times, both require enormous resources to propel them forward. Realm is realm, and cultivation level is cultivation level.

Qin Chuan wasn't in a hurry; he could slowly temper his physical body.

While tempering his physical body.

While experiencing the secrets and techniques of the Thunder Refining Technique, a second-tier treasure technique, it was the achievement and experience of a Foundation Establishment stage treasure refiner. This was mainly due to the fact that he had obtained a portion of Zhao Famo's weapon refining realm from the Purple Lightning Immortal Sword. Now, with the addition of a thousand magic essences, he naturally broke through to the next level.

Qin Chuan took out the seven-colored immortal bronze that he had received as a reward from the cave heaven. He had many ideas about this immortal bronze, the best of which was, of course, to be able to forge a 'Minor Teleportation Zhou Tian Sword Formation'.

He had already experienced the incredible power of spatial teleportation. Among cultivators of the same level, those who had mastered spatial techniques possessed overwhelming destructive power, as evidenced by Zhao Famo's fate.

If one could forge a sword formation, with spatial teleportation array patterns on each of the seven-colored immortal swords, then one could move freely in battle as if entering an empty field, and no one could even touch a corner of one's clothes.

"The only drawback is that this method requires the Thunder Pool. It seems that after this case is over, I will have to apply to the Thunder Control Sect to borrow the Thunder Pool."

Qin Chuan temporarily suppressed his thoughts. At the same time he was bestowed with the Seven-Colored Immortal Copper, he also received a weapon-forging document, which allowed him to be approved to forge a natal magic weapon of his own. This is the document. However, he had just captured the sect leader of the Thunder Control Sect, and it would be too arrogant for him to turn around and go to the Thunder Control Sect to forge a weapon.

There are still ten thousand Dharma teachings remaining.

Qin Chuan poured all his energy into the Thirteen Transformations of the Divine Shock.

Kakakka~~
Accompanied by a sound like crystal breaking.

[Consuming three thousand units of magical essence, the Thirteen Transformations of Divine Awakening broke through to the seventh level.]

[Consuming five thousand units of magical essence, the Thirteen Transformations of Divine Awakening broke through to the eighth level.]

[Consuming two thousand units of Dharma Essence, the Thirteen Transformations of Divine Astoundment have reached 20% progress...]

boom!
It was as if an endless stream of divine consciousness was expanding from its source, giving Qin Chuan a sense of spiritual transcendence. His divine consciousness, which was already stronger than that of someone in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, surged wildly at this moment...

In an instant, Qin Chuan felt as if his divine sense had touched some kind of barrier.

"The Wall of Laws!"

Qin Chuan was shocked:
"My divine sense has actually reached the peak of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage?"

A Taoist at the deputy level can hold positions required in the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment. To advance further, one must be granted the title of "Ordered Taoist" to be qualified for such positions.

"In the past, there were no clear indicators of my combat strength. Now, with my divine sense that is far superior to others by a whole realm, I can do whatever I want in the entire sub-temple area. Not to mention the Yin-Yang Cutting Array Diagram, I can truly be invincible in the sub-temple."

Qin Chuan thought of the recent evaluation of him by the immortals in the streets, that he was very good at fighting, so he was not afraid.

However, thinking of Sun Qinghan, she quickly calmed down.

His fighting prowess is currently limited to Jiuchuan County, or slightly higher-level blessed lands. If the scope were expanded to include grotto heavens and even the entire Divine Continent, there would undoubtedly be many more geniuses and extraordinary individuals, especially those like Sun Qinghan, who comes from the Jade Capital Immortal realm of the Forbidden City. Even if they are at the same level as him, their inner strength is unknown.

You must not be careless because of this. Otherwise, if you happen to encounter some second-generation rich kid and get tricked by them by pulling out some powerful family secrets from their waist, it's hard to say what will happen.

In cultivating the Tao, one must proceed with caution.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Two days later, Qin Chuan thought that it would take at least seven or eight days for the decision to go to the blessed land to capture Xie Zhimiao to be made, since that was the general environment of the Daoist temple. Unexpectedly, the decision was made on the third day.

"With the approval of the Jing'an Prefecture and the Jianxian Prefecture, the arrest operation of Xie Zhimiao, the vice president of the Wanling Daoist Academy in Lushan Fudi, by the Jianxian Division and Jing'an Office of Jiuchuan County is hereby approved. However, the operation must be carried out under the guidance of the Jing'an Brigade of the Jing'an Prefecture. It is hereby approved that ten people from the Jing'an Office of Jiuchuan County and three people from the Jianxian Division will go to the Jing'an Prefecture of Fudi to meet and act simultaneously."

Upon seeing the gist of the document, Qin Chuan looked at Lu Mingjing, the local official.

"Of these three, it's obviously you. As for the other one, let one of your spirit officials go with you. And for the last one, just pick anyone capable... anyway..." Lu Mingjing said with a wry smile.

"The operation to capture a Golden Core Realm Deputy Temple-level cultivator was supposedly guided by Fellow Daoist Jing'an of the Blessed Land, but in reality, it was Fellow Daoists from the Blessed Land who were the main force. How could you possibly have the ability to capture a Golden Core Realm cultivator?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "Then I'll go down and prepare right away."

After Qin Chuan relayed the order, he requested a flying boat and asked Qi Bin to accompany him. He also notified Xiao Shi'an, the head of his temple.

It was just as the two of them set off for the blessed land.

Qin Chuan suddenly saw the communication talisman light up, apologized to Xiao Shi'an, then walked to the side and answered the call: "It's me, County God."

The message came from Sun Qinghan.

"I heard you've discovered a blessed land while investigating a case. Are you going there to capture a Golden Core cultivator?" Sun Qinghan's voice was as clear and crisp as ever.

Qin Chuan knew that the county magistrate wanted to inquire about the general details of the case, so he reported the main progress of the case and some evidence.

"Alchemy?"

Sun Qinghan stood in the county temple, gazing thoughtfully at the leaves outside the window, and asked:

"Once you're in the Blessed Land, cooperate well with the fellow Daoists there. Since it involves a Golden Core Daoist, I estimate the case will escalate, and a new investigation team will be formed. After you catch the person, don't rush back to Jiuchuan. I'm going to the Blessed Land these next few days to report on the county's economic situation, and we'll talk about it then."

Upon hearing the message, which clearly carried a hint, Qin Chuan felt more certain about his previous guess and said, "I understand, County God."

"After all, you are arresting a Golden Core cultivator. Don't be too reckless. Your own safety should be your top priority."

"Yes."

Hearing the last word of concern, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little warm.

Soon, in half a day.

Qin Chuan and his two companions, along with ten members of the Jing'an Brigade from the county, arrived at the Jing'an Prefecture, a blessed land.

Originally, Yuan Qingbai from the Jing'an Brigade, Xiao Shi'an from the Jianxian Division, and Qi Bin, among others, were all noticeably reserved when they came to the blessed land for a meeting. However, they did not expect that Qin Chuan would walk in with them.

The Taoist priests from Jing'an and Jianxian Temples, who were sitting at the main table in the courtroom, all paid their respects.

The old Taoist priest sitting at the head of the table smiled at Qin Chuan and his companions, and said:
"Qin Chuan, I didn't expect that you would start working in the judicial system so soon after returning from the outer world, and even uncover such a big case."

Qin Chuan looked at the old Taoist priest.

He immediately remembered that this was the same Nascent Soul Palace Master he had taken photos with in several immortal palaces during his stay in the blessed land after returning from beyond the heavens.

He immediately searched his mind for the other party's immortal rank and position, his face serious, and stood still, performing the disciple's salute:
“Lord Zhang, you are too kind. This was originally a corruption case in our county. I never expected that it would eventually involve the Wanling Dao Academy in the blessed land.”

"Don't be so reserved. The Preaching Office says you are the son of the people of Lushan, a son of Lushan. Coming to this blessed land, you should feel at home."

Lord Zhang, the third-in-command of Jing'an Prefecture, a blessed land, waved his hand, signaling them to sit down:

"Now that the Heavenly Court is launching a major campaign to eliminate evil and uphold justice, this kind of case should be handled with particular seriousness. Please have a seat, and we will discuss today's arrest operation together."

"Thank you, Lord of the Manor." Qin Chuan nodded and then gestured for the three people beside him to sit down.

Xiao Shi'an, Yuan Qingbai, and Qi Bin were all somewhat taken aback. Compared to them, Qin Chuan was far more valued; even the Lord of the Blessed Land knew him.

For a moment, the three of them realized that they had underestimated Qin Chuan's future prospects.

After the four people were seated.

At the meeting, someone began to introduce Xie Zhimiao's information.

"Xie Zhimiao, male, 157 years old, native of Xiejia Village, Jiuchuan County, Lushan Blessed Land, graduated from Dongsheng Wanling Tiandao Academy, majoring in Wanling..."

"After receiving the information from fellow Daoists in Jiuchuan, we immediately tracked Xie Zhimiao's movements and deployed defenses everywhere. After all, everyone knows that if a Golden Core level Daoist resists arrest, the harm he can cause is enormous. If he becomes agitated, it could be comparable to the destruction of a city. Therefore, this arrest operation must be prepared in every detail to minimize the possible impact and losses."

The resistance of a Golden Core stage Daoist to arrest is ten or even a hundred times more intense and dangerous than Zhao Famo's resistance!
