The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

far away.

Ye Chen hid in the shadows, licking his dagger.

"Heh, following me?"

"My other self, those people just now seemed to be from the Special Affairs Bureau. Did they notice you?"

"So what? Don't worry, if they know that you'll die if they capture me, they definitely won't touch you!"

You are now a highly regarded celebrity in the China region, and your inspirational story is being circulated by countless people online.

The Special Bureau wouldn't dare arrest you openly, otherwise they wouldn't have acted in the dead of night when no one was around.

"This isn't a long-term solution."

"It's alright. In a while, I'll see. What special bureau? I've never taken them seriously!"

That night, a murder occurred in Shangjing City.

One of the young masters of the Tao family was stabbed in the throat and died in his girlfriend's bathtub.

The failure to ambush Ye Chen was an accident.

This also made Song Gua realize that the Special Bureau was already investigating Ye Chen.

It seems the authorities have a keen sense of smell.

There is no other way to obtain the Dark Dagger. Hopefully, Ye Chen will not be captured by the Special Bureau before then.

The next day.

Song Gua received an invitation from the China Regional Strategy Department, asking him to go to the department's office building to collect a hidden reward from the Rookie King Challenge.

"It's here. The competition that Yue Sheng mentioned belongs to the candidates."

According to Yun Yang, Song Gua already knew that this hidden reward was an opportunity to become a Transcendent!

However, since I am already a Transcendent Being, it seems I don't need it.

But if I go, I might be able to obtain some source energy?

The source power obtained by Song Gua will not be simultaneously transferred to the clone.

The new clones created every day are at the same level as Song Gua, but they have not reached the Transcendent Realm.

Although the Song Gua does not have a machine to test whether a person has transcended the mundane, it does have a simple method.

Use the Illusionary Divine Stele to test it.

Becoming a Transcendent One will undergo a qualitative change in one's ability to withstand the Illusionary Divine Stele. The higher one's realm, the more composed one will be. Even without a realm, one will not be driven mad by the Divine Stele.

By placing the clone alone in front of the divine stele and observing its state before its "bandwidth" increases, Song Gua can determine whether it is a mortal or not.

All of this demonstrates that even the ability to create clones cannot synchronize the evolutionary levels of life.

Source power cannot appear out of thin air like levels.

This is probably one of the manifestations of the fundamental difference between external force and source force, as Yun Yang was referring to.

Therefore, the task of going to the strategy department cannot be delegated to someone else.

Song Gua wants to become a spirit cultivator with his own Dao, so naturally he needs to collect more source power.

in the afternoon.

Song Gua drove to the Huaxia District Strategic Administration Building in Shangjing City.

This organization has no branches throughout the region because it reports directly to the Federal Supreme Bureau.

After presenting the invitation, Song Gua was able to pass the identity verification and enter the building.

A moment later, following the instructions in the invitation, he arrived at Zhang Beihai's office.

"Hey! He's finally here. Everyone's here, Chief of Staff Zhang! Let's get started!"

As soon as he entered, Song Gua heard Tong Zhan's loud voice.

And then there's Longtan, where he was actually trying to sell Yue Sheng a shampoo.

"As people reach middle age, they absolutely must guard against baldness, Captain Yue! My shampoo has a secret formula, a sweet and delicious scent, and it promotes hair growth without damaging it..."

Yue Sheng's face clearly showed his refusal.

Gou Bi and Ye Chen, along with Song Gua, make up the top five in the Rookie King Challenge.

Ye Chen actually dared to come?

Song Gua thought that he had been captured by the Special Bureau once and had managed to escape by luck, so he would go into hiding.

He seemed to act as if nothing had happened.

Do they have such strong mental fortitude?

Zhang Beihai smiled and sat down in his office chair.

"Alright, everyone, please sit down. There's no need to be reserved here. Yue Sheng, you can go back to your work."

Yue Sheng looked at Song Gua and said.

"Teacher, I don't have any tasks today, so I can leave a little later."

Zhang Beihai nodded, having no objection to Yue Sheng staying behind.

"Distinguished young talents, I've invited you all here today because there's still a reward you haven't claimed from the Rookie King Challenge."

Apart from Ye Chen, the other four all seemed to know the truth.

The three major clans must know the inside story.

The Song hexagram was also known through the cloud sheep.

Only Ye Chen was completely bewildered.

"Does anyone know about those who have transcended mortality?"

Tong Zhan is proactive.

"I know! My elders in the family said so!"

Zhang Beihai nodded.

"Yes, the three major clans definitely know. Transcendent cultivators are no longer a secret. Although it hasn't been publicly announced, anyone with the right channels can find out. It's just that Ye Chen and Song Gua probably don't know that, right?"

Ye Chen shook his head honestly.

Song Gua plays the role of "Song Gua" well.

"You introduced the Transcendent Ones when you went to Yunshan City to look for them."

"I only mentioned it briefly last time, but today I'll give you a more detailed introduction to this unique type of existence."

Song Gua can now understand how Monkey King felt.

He really wanted to find the "skip the story" button.

Ye Chen, who was standing to the side, listened very attentively.

When Zhang Beihai said that those who have transcended to the mortal realm would have longer lifespans, he opened his mouth wide in surprise.

The Dark Dagger won't do; it's a secret, and they haven't even told Ye Chen about it.

Perhaps Ye Chen didn't ask.

Song Gua noticed that although Zhang Beihai's description of the Transcendent Ones was largely the same as Yun Yang's, his explanation was not in-depth.

He only mentioned the special characteristics of those who have transcended mortality, without mentioning that those who have transcended mortality are actually the second realm of the Source Power cultivation system—the first realm is that of ordinary people.

It also doesn't mention the existence of the fundamental power of life.

When asked how to elevate the realm of a Transcendent Being, he said...

"Those who have transcended the mortal realm can elevate their transcendent power and thus advance to the next level."

Extraordinary power can be obtained through meditation; the Federation has already developed a very sophisticated meditation method.

Alternatively, you can collect extraordinary power within the illusion by clearing levels in the illusion.

Of course, extraordinary power can also be gathered in ordinary battles and daily life; you'll need to explore and figure it out for yourselves after you become Transcendent Beings.

If you replace extraordinary power with source power or light points, it's basically the same as what Yun Yang said.

However, Yun Yang didn't mention meditation. It's possible that the Transcendent Ones and Spiritual Illusions in the resistance also meditate, but they just didn't tell Song Gua.

Ye Chen was amazed.

"How amazing! It seems that those who have transcended mortality are the true extraordinary beings!"

"You could say that, because we professionals are only professionals on Earth. Once we leave Earth, our attributes will be weakened, and the farther we go, the weaker they become. Eventually, after a certain distance, we will lose our professional status and return to the state we were before we changed jobs."

However, if you are a Transcendent Being, your professional abilities will be retained forever, no matter when or where!

Furthermore, professionals need to constantly monitor their health, because not only will they die from fatal injuries or when their health bar is depleted, but injuries will also affect their health.

This problem doesn't exist for those who have transcended mortality. Even if a transcendent being's health is completely depleted, they won't die as long as their physical body isn't dead!
