Chapter 1475 The Talisman of Loyal Heart

Fan Zhentong said, "That's right. Among the people who were later added to the advisory group, there should be quite a few with the Secret Map bloodline. They have deeper potential and are more likely to break through to the upper levels. It is said that this is not their limit."

I don't know the exact number, but based on my judgment, it's about a quarter.

This seems to be a trend, and in the future, there may be more and more people with the bloodline of the Secret Map.

Because once the massive impact occurs and we are confronting the enemy, those with the Secret Map bloodline will indeed have an advantage over ordinary people, and their chances of survival are much higher. Therefore, this conclusion is very easy to draw.

As someone who had fought against the bloodline of the Secret Map, Chen Chuan felt that this statement was not an exaggeration.

Having the Secret Chart Bloodline gives one an extra mutated organization compared to ordinary fighters, and as long as their own abilities aren't too lacking, they can borrow power from higher levels.

Even setting aside a fight between two people of the same level, having an additional fighting method can give one an advantage. Such superior forces can easily gain an overwhelming advantage over ordinary opponents.

Not to mention that the person who can carry the bloodline must also be extremely outstanding, standing out from many peers, thus widening the gap even further.

He doesn't really care what blood these people have. What matters is his own identity and stance. That's the most fundamental thing. If these people share the same goals and ideas as him, then he naturally hopes there are as many of them as possible.

But if it's the opposite, then that's obviously not a good thing.

During the discussion, after a nearly two-hour drive, the car arrived at the Tianyuantang Government Office, located in the center of Zhongjing.

The vehicle did not stop here, but drove straight in and turned west, heading towards Qinghu.

Chen Chuan looked out and saw that the armed guards standing on both sides of the road were all fighters. As vehicles drove past them, they all raised their hands in salute.

The vehicle traveled along the lakeside road of Qinghu, entered a gentle slope, and finally drove into the parking lot outside Danxin Hall.

Chen Chuan could clearly feel that he had passed through an invisible barrier. The temperature here had changed significantly. The weather in January was quite cold, but after arriving here, it suddenly felt as warm as spring.

He glanced up and felt that sense of power from above again, but unlike the obvious aloofness he felt when he entered the State Council, this time he seemed closer to it.

After getting out of the car, Fan Zhentong said, "There are still fifteen minutes left, I'll make it. I'll wait in the hall, Consultant Chen, you can get ready first."

Chen Chuan said "Okay," and after Fan Zhentong left, the person in charge came up to him, saluted, and said respectfully, "Advisor Chen, would you like me to explain the process to you?"

Chen Chuan said, "It's unnecessary. Consultant Fan already told me that on the way."

"Okay, then would you like to change your clothes first?"

Chen Chuan said, "There's no need for that for now."

"Okay, Consultant Chen."

The person in charge was not surprised. Each member of the advisory group was unique and had a strong will. For example, some advisors may have never worn their advisor uniforms.

Chen Chuan then gestured for the other party to bring over the boundary token given by the advisory group. Fan Zhentong had previously said that other things didn't matter, but this boundary token was a must.

This contains the highest level of biotechnology of the Great Shun Dynasty, and has extremely high growth potential. It is not afraid of being contaminated even if it goes to the other side of the World Ring, and can even communicate with the higher powers there.

There is also "Kaiyang," an active consciousness responsible for serving all advisors within the Danxin Hall, who must first use this boundary token to confirm his identity.

Whether to use it after that is entirely up to personal preference, since all the advisors are at the Dongxuan Guan level, and you can communicate with them through spiritual power.

This boundary appears to be an irregular spiral, but it is composed of light lines that are pure white to almost transparent, and it keeps rotating there, as if it represents a multi-dimensional object.

He communicated with it by thought, and the thing immediately unfolded, then turned into wisps of smoke and drifted towards him, actually entering his field directly. This feeling was somewhat like a weapon of destiny.

He then used this feeling to make contact with an active consciousness.

"Consultant Chen, hello. I am 'Kaiyang,' an active consciousness entity of Danxin Hall, and I am here to serve you."

Chen Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood, then looked at the person in charge, who immediately smiled broadly and said:

"Advisor Chen, the inauguration ceremony can begin at any time. Would you like to proceed to the ceremonial hall now?"

Chen Chuanchuan said, "Let's do it now."

"plz follow me."

Chen Chuan followed the other party along an internal passage. Five minutes later, they arrived at a spacious hall with a dome, surrounded by a circular space with a square interior.

The dome was dim and resembled a starry sky, with the constellations in each direction clearly visible. Behind it, there were latitude and longitude lines, as if standing within the dome, with divine beasts representing the four cardinal directions at the far end of the ground.

This is likely taken from the idea that "the sky is round like a canopy, and the earth is square like a chessboard." However, at the celestial pole directly above, there is a hole from which a beam of light leaks down, making it look more like an entrance or exit. This probably symbolizes the intersection between the other world and our own.

Knowing that he was coming today, and that he was an advisor directly promoted by Tian Shu, all sixteen advisors, including five members of the advisory group, were present.

With his arrival, they followed suit, emerging from the lounge and entering the main hall to take their places. Chen Chuan, guided by the consciousness Kaiyang, walked to his designated spot.

He then looked around, taking in the appearances of all twenty-one advisors present. Finally, he looked ahead and raised his gaze slightly, noticing three men and two women standing there. This must be the five-person advisory group.

At this moment, the distinguished-looking middle-aged man standing in the middle stepped forward and said politely:
"Consultant Chen, hello. I am Dai Xuming, a member of the advisory group. Welcome. Today, I will be reading your letter of appointment. Before that, do you have any questions?"

Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "No, if there are any problems, I will find out myself."

"it is good."

Dai Xuming immediately took out a letter of appointment, unfolded it, and began to read:

"By order of the Heavenly Pivot, you are hereby appointed as a formal advisor to the National Security Advisory Group of the Great Shun Dynasty. It is hoped that you will be cautious in handling affairs, uphold national integrity, exert your wisdom and sincerity, and live up to the expectations of the people."

Attendees: All members of the Supreme Security Advisory Group of the Republic of China during the Great Shun Dynasty.

Date: January 15th, 99th year of the Jianzhi reign (1700).

Just as the announcement ended, a beam of light above the starry sky suddenly expanded, enveloping him entirely.

Chen Chuan immediately noticed that many eyes were on him, and not from the advisors around him, but from... someone higher up!
He vaguely felt that he was standing in the opposite world, with huge silhouettes appearing around him.

At the same time, the items given to him by Meteora and Master Lu also trembled slightly.

He looked up and stared directly into those massive silhouettes without any attempt to look away.

At that moment, a dazzling light flew over and, upon reaching his side, revealed an exquisitely crafted jade talisman.

He immediately recognized it as a symbol representing his advisory group, so he reached out and grabbed it into his palm.

In that instant, all the sensations and light around him vanished, and he was back in the hall once more.

Dai Xuming then stepped down from the stage, handed the letter of appointment to Chen Chuan, and after Chen Chuan took it, he extended his hand to shake Chen Chuan's hand, smiled and said:

"Consultant Chen, welcome to the advisory team, you're welcome!"

Chen Chuan shook hands with him and said, "Thank you, Consultant Dai."

Dai Xuming smiled and said, "We still have some internal matters to discuss with Advisor Chen. Shall we move aside and talk in detail?"

Chen Chuan nodded and said okay.

At this moment, the advisors around him were all looking at him. Some were obviously very friendly to his joining, their eyes revealing goodwill; while others' eyes were full of fear and apprehension; and some were indifferent or absent-minded, as if they didn't care about anything.

Chen Chuan glanced around at everyone, then followed Dai Xuming and left the room, arriving at a conference room.

The five-person advisory group arrived at this moment. One of them, a tall man who looked to be in his forties with gentle eyes and a dignified demeanor, stood up, took the initiative to shake hands with him, and said in a kind voice, "Advisor Chen, hello, I am Xiao Yuanguang, welcome to the group."

Chen Chuan knew this was one of his own from the Pure Faction, but the moment he shook hands with the man, he sensed something, nodded to him, and said, "Senior Xiao, hello."

Xiao Yuanguang smiled and nodded at him.

Dai Xuming then introduced three other people to Chen Chuan. The woman who was short but had a serious expression and looked to be in her thirties was Pei Xiyan from the Ministry of Defense.

Beside him stood a tall, handsome man with fair skin and a slightly effeminate air, who always seemed to scrutinize people with a critical gaze. He was Tong Xin from the Fusion Faction.

Finally, there was a woman with short hair and an indifferent expression; this was Xu Yingqing from a state-owned enterprise.

As for Dai Xuming himself, he came from the refined cultivation school.

After introducing everyone, Dai Xuming invited him to sit down and said with a smile:

"Advisor Chen, the advisory group can provide some conveniences for each member who joins the group. If you need anything in your cultivation, you can tell us and we will try our best to provide it for you."

Fan Zhentong had already told Chen Chuan about this when he arrived, so he had already considered it.

Of the three conditions he needs to break through to the upper realm, he's still missing a rare material, but it seems relatively easy to find at the moment. While there are still gaps in his collection of lost items, he's managed to acquire some; the current issue is the lack of suitable locations.

So he asked, "Then, I would like to ask if the advisory group can provide me with enough 'immortal seeds'?"
