Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

Gu Chen's mansion was very large.

After Gu Chen returned to his residence.

The room arranged for Zhong Hong was deliberately kept at a certain distance from his.

The goal is to ensure that Zhong Hong cannot pry into his privacy unless he uses his spiritual power to project it outwards.

He has now appeared.

The two lived together in the same house.

He naturally wouldn't constantly project his divine soul power to keep an eye on Gu Chen.

This made him tired, and Gu Chen was tired too.

The fact that the two lived in the same mansion meant that the attempt by the Mitian Sect and the Yamamoto family to assassinate Gu Chen would inevitably cause a stir.

He can sense it immediately.

These are not needed.

And after what happened today...

The Yamamoto family from the island nation and the group from the Mitian Sect already knew that he was protecting Gu Chen.

Those who want to touch Gu Chen will have to think twice; they won't act rashly again.

The days ahead should be relatively leisurely.

And on this day.

The night before.

The story of Gu Chen's battle at Li Xianghe's residence in the city of Huangzhou.

The news has already reached the ears of many top-tier forces and even transcendent forces in the Divine Dynasty.

With the True Essence Realm at its peak, he defeated the early stage of the Transformation Sea Realm, demonstrating the combat power of the mid-stage Transformation Sea Realm.

It has already set a new historical record for challenging higher levels in the Divine Dynasty.

This refers to defeating an opponent by crossing two major realm barriers.

Countless top-tier and transcendent forces were shocked.

Some people have already seen through the clues.

They immediately began investigating Gu Chen's upbringing.

This ancient dust.

It has only been two and a half years since he started growing up.

He actually managed to grow from an ordinary person to the point where he could defeat someone at the early stage of the Transformation Sea Realm with the True Essence Realm at its peak.

If he didn't possess an extraordinary physique, then he must have some secret or great opportunity.

His cultivation level couldn't possibly be just at the peak of the True Essence Realm.

He was a normal True Essence Realm Perfection cultivator without a heaven-defying physique. Even if he cultivated the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique, he would still be unable to defeat someone in the early stage of the Transformation Sea Realm.

The hurdle of true essence reserves cannot be overcome.

The amount of true essence stored within a True Essence Realm Perfection expert is absolutely insufficient to unleash a martial art capable of defeating an early-stage Transformation Sea Realm expert.

Even if Gu Chen cultivated the Four Beasts Celestial Phenomenon Technique, it wouldn't work.

Many top-tier and transcendent forces have already sensed an extraordinary opportunity.

Among them, some experts at the third rank or even the second rank of Heaven and Earth Venerable were secretly dispatched.

Heading towards the desolate state.

It is true that Gu Chen is an official of the Night Watch.

It is true that he is the disciple of Shangguan Wuqing, a high-ranking decision-maker in the Night Watch, who is at the Earthly Venerable Realm.

But faced with such an incredible opportunity...

Not to mention Shangguan Wuqing, even Gu Chen is a disciple of a certain Heavenly Venerable Realm expert in the Night Watch Division.

They are also willing to take risks.

Of course, they weren't there to directly confront Gu Chen.

They can act covertly.

Concealing their identities, they captured Gu Chen and thoroughly examined his cultivation level.

If the examination reveals that Gu Chen does indeed possess a heaven-defying physique, then there is no special opportunity involved.

They can put Gu Chen back.

No matter what he does.

If it is discovered that Gu Chen does not have any special physique, his cultivation level far exceeds the True Essence Realm Perfection.

Even if they torture Gu Chen to death, they will pry out the secrets and opportunities within him.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen...

I don't know.

He has been unknowingly targeted by countless forces.

A dead end is about to unfold.

Even if he runs away now.

If he leaves the Night Watch, those people will think he has something to hide and wants to escape beforehand.

They would even launch a massive manhunt for him.

He absolutely cannot escape the Divine Dynasty.

Li Huo Mansion.

Here at Gu Chen's residence.

After arranging things for Zhong Hong, Gu Chen noticed that it was still early and not yet evening.

Gu Chen refined another batch of sacrificial pills in the mansion.

It was evening.

As usual, Gu Chen went to inspect the Night Watch Division of Li Huo Prefecture.

To assert one's presence and prestige.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen was on his way to the Night Watch Division of Li Huo Prefecture.

Zhong Hong did not follow him.

Instead, he continued to stay at Gu Chen's residence.

He didn't use any divine soul power or anything, but kept a close eye on Gu Chen.

Of course, his spiritual power couldn't extend that far.

It seems he has confidence in himself.

As long as Gu Chen is still in the city of Li Huo Mansion.

With him around, no one can hurt Gu Chen.

In the Night Watch of Li Huo Mansion.

Gu Chen stayed in his own private room where he handled official business.

He instructed two guards to stand watch at the door.

No one can be let in without my permission.

Then, in the office.

Gu Chen released his divine soul power to make sure no one was watching him.

Take out the copper bowl.

The powerful men that the Second Prince sent to protect him have now been lured out.

Furthermore, they killed a number of powerful members of the Yamamoto family.

He wanted to see if his crisis was over.

"What crises do I face now? Who will still target me?" Gu Chen asked the bronze bowl.

The copper bowl indicates that exchanging this information will cost one hundred taels of silver.

Gu Chen was taken aback. One hundred taels? That's so little.

He hadn't met him in a long time.

After his cultivation level improved, the opponents he faced were all relatively strong and had complex forces.

Therefore, the exchange rate for intelligence was generally over one thousand taels.

I never expected to encounter one hundred taels.

Seemingly sensing Gu Chen's thoughts, the copper bowl gave direct feedback:

[Facing an imminent life-or-death crisis, the price of silver in this exchange has been reduced by ten thousand times!]

Gu Chen was startled, and his hair stood on end instantly!

He is about to face a life-or-death crisis.

Therefore, the amount of silver needed to exchange for this intelligence is only one ten-thousandth of the original amount!

In other words, it would normally cost one million taels of silver to exchange for this intelligence.

However, because it involves his life-or-death crisis, the price has been reduced by ten thousand times, so only one hundred taels are needed.

Gu Chen was deeply shaken.

What's going on?

Didn't the Second Prince send Zhong Hong to protect him? How could he still be in a life-or-death crisis?

You should know that in the past, crisis intelligence would only reduce the amount of silver by ten times, but this time it's ten thousand times.

In other words.

It's very serious. If it's not resolved, he won't be able to escape even if he wanted to now.

Gu Chen put one hundred taels of silver into the bowl and selected to exchange it.

The silver disappeared, and the copper bowl immediately gave a clue:

[Because of your battle with Qiu Jiu at Li Xianghe's residence, which revealed your mid-stage Transformation Realm strength, the Second Prince, the Crown Prince, your master, and many top and transcendent forces in the Divine Dynasty suspect that your true cultivation level is not at the peak of the True Essence Realm. A peak True Essence Realm expert, without a powerful special physique, simply cannot unleash martial arts techniques capable of defeating an early-stage Transformation Realm expert, as their True Essence reserves are insufficient. They suspect you are concealing your cultivation level. Furthermore, given your rapid rise from an ordinary person to a mid-stage Transformation Realm expert in just two and a half years, they suspect you possess extraordinary opportunities and secrets. Many high-ranking experts, even those at the Heavenly Venerable level or above, are already heading towards the Desolate State to uncover your secrets. If this is not handled properly, and your secret of possessing the Heavenly Bowl is exposed, you will surely die. Even a terrestrial immortal cannot protect you; they might even personally intervene to capture you!]

Looking at the instructions on the copper bowl.

Gu Chen was dumbfounded.

He revealed his combat strength at the mid-stage of the Transformation Sea Realm.

This has led to such a dead end.

Also.

Without a special physique, a person at the peak of the True Essence Realm cannot unleash martial arts techniques comparable to those at the mid-stage of the Transformation Sea Realm.

This is terrible.

So many top-tier and transcendent experts from the Divine Dynasty's leading and transcendent forces, including those at the third rank and the Heaven and Earth Two Venerable Realm, have come here.

Even if he tries to escape now, he can't escape.

He can't escape Zhong Hong's challenge.

If he reveals his intention to escape.

Zhong Hong must know that he has something to hide.

They will bring him back directly.

What should we do now?

There's no escaping it.

Continue to wait to die?!

No, it's impossible for me to hand over the bronze bowl willingly.

He has already completed the blood oath ceremony with the copper bowl.

I have absolutely no idea how to end this relationship.

Perhaps the only way to end the relationship is to kill him.

This won't do.

Gu Chen calmed himself down and looked at the bronze bowl in his hand.

The copper bowl could predict his life-or-death crisis.

There must be a solution.

Yes, ask about the copper bowl.

Having made up his mind, Gu Chen transmitted a message to the bronze bowl: "How can I get through this life-or-death crisis?"

The copper bowl gave feedback: This time, the exchange of intelligence will also be reduced by ten thousand times, to three hundred thousand taels of silver, and will provide information that Gu Chen can solve this problem.

Gu Chen was taken aback.

Three hundred thousand taels.

Even after reducing it by a factor of ten thousand.

Does that mean the original price was 3 billion taels of silver?

Such a high amount.

What incredible information is this copper bowl meant to be exchanged for?

It's worth so much, and it can solve his problem all at once.

Or is this intelligence worth far more than 3 billion taels of silver?

It's because he only had 300,000 taels on him, which multiplied by 10,000 is 3 billion, so the copper bowl cost him 300,000 taels.

After some thought.

Gu Chen put all 300,000 taels of silver he had on him into the copper bowl.

I can't worry about that anymore.

The money is useless if he doesn't exchange it for a solution; he won't last long.

Let's redeem the solution first.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver disappeared from the copper bowl.

The copper bowl immediately gave a hint:

[At 3:45 PM tonight, head to the Soul-Severing Cliff, located 300 li north of the city of Li Huo Prefecture, atop the Hengduan Mountains. Two groups will be fighting there. You must rescue Xiao Fan, the young man about to be forced to jump off the cliff by the Qingyun Sword Sect. Then, jump off the cliff precisely on time. Do not use your true essence to fly; let your body fall freely. You will then obtain the Void Sacred Fruit, which can resolve this life-or-death crisis. Consume it immediately after obtaining it. It will transform your physique into the Void Sacred Body. Once activated, the Void Sacred Body allows you to merge with the void, and your strength, physical strength, movement speed, soul strength, comprehension, cultivation speed, and internal true essence will all be ten times that of ordinary cultivators. With the Void Sacred Body, even if outsiders grasp your hand and use their soul power to enter your body, they will not be able to discern your true cultivation level. The life-or-death crisis will be resolved.]
