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

"I remember when you first ascended to the Heavenly Primordial Spirit Realm, you were only at the early stage of the third realm of the Innate Realm. How did you break through to the perfect fifth realm of the Innate Realm so quickly!" Tie Yangtian looked at Gu Chen in disbelief.

"My lord, actually, I hid my true cultivation level back then, fearing that revealing too much would arouse jealousy. At that time, I had already reached the fifth level of the Innate Realm," Gu Chen explained.

"So that's how it is." Tie Yangtian still found it unbelievable.

He actually recruited such a monstrous and freakish person.

Such a prodigy, as long as he doesn't die young.

In the future, they will surely be able to reach the upper three ranks.

He became a renowned figure in the Divine Dynasty.

He really struck gold, becoming the mentor of such a genius.

"Good, very good, hahaha." Tie Yangtian laughed happily: "Gu Chen, let's not worry about taking office for now. Since you have such talent..."

"After you've prepared yourself, I'll take you to pay your respects to my master. You've offended Tang Hong, which is causing some trouble. Although I'm one of the four chief officers of the Zhenshi County Night Watch, Tang Hong might not always give me face. If you want him to be less likely to secretly attack you in the future, you'll need another level of status." Tie Yangtian said, "If you could become my master's disciple and become my fellow disciple..."

"At that time, not only Tang Hong, but even his father Tang Meng, wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

"Go and pay respects to the master?" Gu Chen was surprised.

He had previously exchanged a copper bowl for information about Tie Yangtian.

According to the information provided by the copper bowl at the time.

Tie Yangtian's master is Shangguan Wuqing, the chief of the Night Watch Division of the Desolate State of the Divine Dynasty, a third-rank official of the Divine Dynasty.

His cultivation level is at least at the peak of the upper third rank. If one could become his disciple...

Within that desolate state, who would dare to touch him?

And wait until he reaches the Core Formation stage.

Once you've broken through to the third rank of cultivation technique, you can also ask Shangguan Wuqing for it.

"That's right," Tie Yangtian said. "With your talent, your master will definitely be willing to accept you as a disciple."

"Then I'll have to rely on your recommendation, sir." Gu Chen bowed to Tie Yangtian.

"Well, there's no time to lose. Let's set off today for the capital of the desolate state," Tie Yangtian said after a moment's thought.

"Yes." Gu Chen accepted the order.

The two immediately left the Zhenshi County Night Watch and headed towards the city of Huangzhou.

Tie Yangtian was already quite impatient and wanted to recommend Gu Chen, this monstrous genius, to his master.

His master was extremely strict in accepting disciples, and to date, he has only accepted six direct disciples.

Of the six men, three hold high positions in the Night Watch of various counties in the desolate state.

The other three held official positions in other institutions of the Divine Dynasty.

Gu Chen has the potential to become the seventh.

With Gu Chen's talent, he can only achieve even greater things in the future.

Their sect will become even stronger.

They left Zhenshi County.

Tie Yangtian took Gu Chen and flew away.

"It's too slow for you to walk," Tie Yangtian said. "I'll just fly you there."

They were carried by Tie Yangtian as they flew.

It was even faster than when Gu Chen used the Flying Serpent Step to fly.

This shocked him, revealing the extent of Tie Yangtian's cultivation level.

The true essence within Tie Yangtian's body was like a vast ocean, boundless and inexhaustible.

Gu Chen estimated that he was no longer a sixth-grade expert; his realm had probably broken through to the fifth-grade level.

In half a day, the two arrived in the capital of Huangzhou from Zhenshi County.

In a secluded courtyard behind the headquarters of the Night Watch in the desolate state.

An elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged man in a silver robe are playing chess.

"Master, in Yuehai County, I've noticed that the Japanese pirates overseas are becoming increasingly unruly. I recently discovered traces of salt merchants secretly smuggling elixirs and weapons to those pirates, but the mastermind behind it hasn't been caught yet." The middle-aged man in the silver robe placed a black stone and guessed, "I suspect that it's these aristocratic families within the Divine Dynasty supporting them."

"These powerful families are getting bolder and bolder." The white-haired old man held up a white chess piece: "Find out them all, don't let a single one get away. If you can't handle them, report it to your superiors."

"Among those barbarians in the north, the new barbarian king has broken through to the level of a terrestrial immortal and is starting to stir. These people think they can shake the rule of my divine dynasty. They are just a bunch of delusional people." Bai Zi landed and directly intercepted one of the silver-robed middle-aged men's large dragons.

The old man calmly replied, "Our Divine Emperor is currently in the prime of his life."

"Hmm." The middle-aged man in the silver robe nodded.

Sudden.

The two of them looked out of the villa at the same time.

"Junior Brother, what brings you here?" the middle-aged man in silver robes asked.

"Judging from his aura, he seems to have broken through and has come to ask for credit." The white-haired old man turned back and continued to stare at the chessboard: "Some time ago, he completely wiped out the Black Heaven Sect, which had been entrenched in Zhenshi County for many years."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man in silver robes exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Brother is so amazing!"

He had heard of the Black Heaven Sect in Zhenshi County.

They are extremely troublesome. All the cults within the Divine Dynasty are the same. There are also cults similar to the Black Heaven Cult within the Yuehai County. They are a bunch of rats in the gutter.

They are usually extremely good at hiding.

His numerous operations to clear out the area yielded little result.

He never expected that his junior brother, Tie Yangtian, would be able to wipe out the Black Heaven Sect, which had been entrenched in Zhenshi County, in one fell swoop.

"Old Six really did a great job this time." The white-haired old man nodded.

At this time.

"Master, hahaha." Tie Yangtian's voice rang out from outside the courtyard: "You'd never guess what kind of surprise I've brought you this time."

Tie Yangtian arrived before he did, but his voice preceded his arrival.

Then he led Gu Chen into the villa.

He saw that besides his master, there was also a middle-aged man in silver robes.

Tie Yangtian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Haha, Fourth Senior Brother is here too."

"Hmm, Sixth Brother, what good news did you bring to Master that made you so excited?" The middle-aged man in silver robes looked at Tie Yangtian.

He was none other than Luo Tianxing, the fourth disciple of Shangguan Wuqing and the head of the Night Watch Division of Yuehai County, one of the four counties in the desolate state, which is close to the southeastern coastal border of the Divine Dynasty.

"Fourth Senior Brother, you'll never guess this," Tie Yangtian said, keeping everyone in suspense.

Shangguan Wuqing did not speak, but his gaze fell on Gu Chen, who was brought behind Tie Yangtian.

Luo Tianxing also turned his gaze to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen's current publicly stated cultivation level is the perfect fifth stage of the Innate Realm.

His Xuan Turtle Concealment Technique is extremely profound; it's unknown where those heretics of the Black Heaven Cult obtained it.

With his current True Essence Realm cultivation, even someone like Shangguan Wuqing, the Chief of the Night Watch of a prefecture and a top expert at the peak of the third rank, could perform such a feat.

They also couldn't discern the true nature of Gu Chen.

The two were simply somewhat shocked.

Judging from Gu Chen's age, he shouldn't be very old, yet he already has the cultivation of the fifth perfect innate realm. When they were Gu Chen's age, their cultivation was not as terrifying as Gu Chen's.

Could the surprise Tie Yangtian mentioned be this young man in front of him?

They both noticed that their gazes had fallen on Gu Chen.

Tie Yangtian stopped keeping him in suspense and bowed to Shangguan Wuqing, saying, "Master, the surprise I was talking about is this young man I brought, Gu Chen."

"Gu Chen, come up and pay your respects to my master. My master is the chief of the Night Watch of the Desolate State, a third-rank official." Tie Yangtian introduced, "If you can be chosen by my master and become his seventh personal disciple, you will be able to do whatever you want in the Desolate State from now on."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen hurriedly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "This junior greets the Chief Commander."

The white-haired old man waved his hand, indicating that Gu Chen did not need to be so polite.

Then, he curiously looked at Gu Chen.

"Master, you would never guess that Gu is only nineteen years old this year, yet he has already reached the perfect fifth level of the Innate Realm!" Tie Yangtian said excitedly. "He is another Heavenly Origin Divine Talent produced by the Huoyun Mansion under my Zhenshi County in the past ten years, and his background is impeccable."

"If I could become a disciple of my master, it would be a great blessing for my sect."

Upon hearing this...

Both Shangguan Wuqing and Luo Tianxing showed surprise on their faces.

At nineteen years old, he reached the peak of the fifth realm of innate cultivation!

Where did Tie Yangtian get this little monster from?

They had sensed Gu Chen's aura as a perfect fifth-stage innate being, and estimated that Gu Chen was probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Now, according to Tie Yangtian, he is only nineteen years old and has already been selected as a top scholar in the prefecture this year.

This is completely different in nature.

Those who are at the fifth level of the Innate Realm before the age of twenty have the potential to reach a realm above the first rank in the future.

Above the first rank is the mark of the most elite group in the Divine Dynasty.

He served as the chief of the Night Watch of the Wilderness State for many years, but was unable to be promoted to a second-rank official.

It was because his cultivation level was stuck at the peak of the first grade, half a step into the super grade.

If we can take this step...

He could then be directly transferred from the desolate state to the capital of the Divine Dynasty, becoming one of the core decision-makers of the Night Watch.

The next second, Shangguan Wuqing's figure disappeared from the front.

Then she went up to Gu Chen and pinched him from top to bottom.

He examined Gu Chen's bones to determine his age, and after receiving the results, he exclaimed with delight, "He really is not even twenty years old!"

"I never imagined that someone as talented as me, Shangguan Wuqing, would meet such a prodigy." Shangguan Wuqing exclaimed excitedly.

Gu Chen's talent is comparable to that of the holy sons of the four major sects, and even the key successors cultivated by the three external forces: Mountain Beyond Mountain, Tower Beyond Tower, and Heaven Beyond Heaven.

Hearing Shangguan Wuqing's confirmation, Luo Tianxing smiled and said, "Congratulations, Master, on gaining a prodigy."

"Hmm." Shangguan Wuqing nodded and looked at Gu Chen: "Your name is Gu Chen, right?"

"Yes, Lord Souji," Gu Chen replied.

"Would you be willing to become my seventh personal disciple?" Shangguan Wuqing asked Gu Chen.

Of course, this is a question that needs to be asked as part of the process.

If Gu Chen hadn't wanted to, Tie Yangtian wouldn't have brought him along.

"This humble one is willing." Gu Chen immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times to Shangguan Wuqing: "Disciple greets Master."

"Good, good, haha!" Shangguan Wuqing couldn't hide his smile as he stepped forward to help Gu Chen up: "From now on, you will be my seventh personal disciple."

"You have six senior brothers above you, all of whom hold positions in various institutions of the Divine Dynasty. Your talent surpasses theirs. Work hard in your cultivation, and your future achievements will surely surpass theirs," Shangguan Wuqing said, patting Gu Chen on the shoulder.

"Master, Seventh Brother is not only exceptionally talented in cultivation, but also outstanding in investigation and case solving," Tie Yangtian said.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Before Shangguan Wuqing could speak, Luo Tianxing asked curiously.

"Master, do you remember when I mobilized people to completely eradicate the Black Heaven Sect within Zhenshi County a while ago?" Tie Yangtian explained.

"I remember, well done." Shangguan Wuqing said, "This counts as a merit. Now that your cultivation has broken through to the fifth rank, you can be promoted to deputy director of the Night Watch Division of a prefecture."

"Hehe, thank you, Master." Tie Yangtian said, "That's one point. The main reason I brought this up is that, in fact, the greatest credit for my complete annihilation of the Black Heaven Sect belongs to my seventh junior brother."

"Hmm, Xiao Qi?" Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wuqing and Luo Tianxing turned their gazes to Gu Chen.

"That's right," Tie Yangtian said. "It was Seventh Junior Brother who provided me with information on the Black Heaven Cult's strongholds in Zhenshi County and their spies in the Night Watch, which enabled me to launch a full-scale operation to wipe out this cancerous group."

"Is that so?" The two were astonished upon hearing this.

They didn't expect that Gu Chen was not only exceptionally talented in cultivation, but also outstanding in intelligence gathering.
