Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1476 First Meeting with Hongxia

"Immortal Seed" is a term used in the old era and by the Xuanjiao sect. In Da Shun, it is called "Flash Domain." However, the five advisors naturally understood what Chen Chuan meant.

Pei Xiyan spoke first: "Advisor Chen, you are following the path of human appearance, aren't you?"

We don't currently have a 'Flash Realm' suitable for a human's appearance. However, if you need a ready-made location, we can provide it to you.

Chen Chuan suddenly sensed an external message requesting entry. After receiving his permission, lights appeared around him, which were the entrances to various locations.

This was information provided to him by Jie Ping. Unlike the previous field screens that only appeared in front of him, this one was more multidimensional and more in line with the field and spiritual perception.

It can be described as a technology that combines and presents a simulated field, a real-world scene, and specific information.

At this moment, wherever he looked, a line of information appeared on that place, and he could intuitively feel the internal situation of these places through communication with the boundary token and the active consciousness Kaiyang.

This doesn't hinder his communication with the five people opposite him; he can even share the scene and let everyone participate in the discussion. It truly lives up to its reputation as the most advanced information technology in Da Shun.

He glanced at it and immediately filtered out the unsuitable places. Those places vanished from his sight, leaving only four places still standing.

After examining the venues in detail, he found that while they might be nice, none of them met his requirements.

Because all of these were passed down from the past, and one of them even existed during the prosperous dynasty.

This has existed for over a thousand years, which is truly amazing. It must have been obtained from the old imperial family.

Even though it is called a "celestial abode", such a place is not indestructible. It will be damaged every time it is used and contaminated. If it can still be listed as a superior celestial abode after a thousand years, one can imagine how rich the immortal seeds are underneath.

Of course, this is also related to the scarcity of human-type fighters who reach the pinnacle. However, over a thousand years, most of the original immortal seeds have probably been depleted.

He had already decided to create his own places, and only if he could transform these places back into immortal seeds could they be truly utilized. Therefore, he said, "These places don't suit my wishes. I want to return them to the Flash Domain, is that alright?"

Pei Xiyan said seriously, "I'm sorry, Advisor Chen, I'm afraid that won't work. This is the asset of the advisory group. Even if we don't need it, we need to ensure that future generations can use it."

But since Consultant Chen has made such a request, we can try to find a solution.

We can have our personnel on the World Ring side keep an eye out and try to capture the Flash Zone for you, Advisor Chen. However, the exact timing is uncertain, so you'll have to wait patiently.

Dai Xuming smiled and said, "Advisor Chen, if this is not appropriate, we can change the terms. If the advisory team already has it, we can give it to you immediately."

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. The major collision might be coming soon this year, and it was hard to say whether the place he found would meet his own wishes if he entrusted the task to others.

Instead of doing that, it's better to go find it yourself; that might be more efficient. It's also better to use something else.

He said, "I need some 'original cultural relics,' I wonder if the advisory team can provide them?"

"A remnant of the Yuan Dynasty?"

The five advisors were somewhat surprised; this was a genuine strategic resource.

Because with special methods, this thing has a certain possibility of being condensed into a relic needed by the country, and may even be forged into a treasure that only the old state religion could possess.

This is a valuable item with real strategic value.

Since the establishment of the Da Shun dynasty, only a handful of Yuan dynasty relics have been found, demonstrating their rarity.

Xiao Yuanguang then said, "The advisory group does have a 'remnant' in its collection. Since it was Advisor Chen who raised this issue, and it is a reasonable request, the advisory group can give it to you. If you are sure, we can proceed with the procedures later."

Chen Chuan knew how difficult it was to find this thing; even the secret treasures of the previous dynasty had only yielded a wisp of it.

If he had this, he felt he would have collected all the lost items and wouldn't need to search elsewhere.

So he said, "Okay, then I'll take this one."

Just as he was confirming, Xiao Yuanguang on the other side clicked something, and then he saw a teardrop-shaped object appear out of thin air outside the field, with a shimmering blue light floating inside.

A thought struck him slightly, and he reached out to lift it up. The object transformed from nothingness into reality and appeared directly in his palm.

He raised an eyebrow. This technology was indeed very advanced, but it could probably only be implemented in Danxin Hall.

He could sense that with this, the gaps in the lost item were filled, and he no longer needed to spend extra effort searching for it.

Xu Yingqing then spoke up: "Advisor Chen, may I ask what your plans are going forward?"

Is he going to stay in one place to cultivate in seclusion, or does he have other plans?
Of course, it's your prerogative to do what you want. You can even choose not to express your opinions or vote in meetings, as long as you fulfill your responsibilities as an advisor.

When Chen Chuan arrived, he had already heard Fan Zhentong talk about some of the things the consultants were supposed to do.

He already had his own plans. He said, "Now that I've joined the advisory group, I will do what an advisor is supposed to do. As for my personal plans..." He raised his eyes, looked at the three of them, and slowly said, "I will go to the World Ring to fight against the beings on the other side."

So far, he has not gone to the other side of the World Ring through official channels. Of course, he wants to test the power on the other side and also solve the problem of rare materials.

Xiao Yuanguang couldn't help but show an expression of agreement, while the others showed expressions of no surprise.

Dai Xuming sighed, "Advisor Xiao, as expected of a member of your Pure Faction, even your choice is exactly the same: to go to the World Ring. It seems that this is the inherent style of your Pure Faction."

Xiao Yuanguang said, "This has always been the case for us Pure School members."

He told Chen Chuanchuan, "Advisor Chen, perhaps we can fight side by side on the other side of the World Ring at that time."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Pei Xiyan said, "Advisor Chen, that's the gist of it. You can communicate with 'Kaiyang' about the specific matters. We just joined the advisory group a step ahead of you. We are all advisors, and there is no difference in status. With your talent, Advisor Chen, you may even reach Shangjing a step ahead of us in the future."

As is customary, let me ask you one more question: do you have anything to say to the advisory group?

Chen Chuan said, "I am actually dissatisfied with some of the choices made by the advisory group, as well as the practices of some of the advisors."

Upon hearing this, no one's expression changed. The advisors were essentially representatives of the interests of various factions, each holding different opinions, so conflicts were inevitable.

However, they belong to the same political system and are constrained by higher authorities. Regardless of their private thoughts, they must at least maintain a basic consensus on the surface.

Chen Chuan looked at the five people and said slowly, "Now that I've joined the advisory group, I should naturally try to make some changes."

Xiao Yuanguang looked at him with increasing admiration, while the others stared intently at him.

However, none of them felt that anything could be done. Change is not something that can be done so easily. In the past, there were very powerful advisors, but when they had the power to change the whole situation, it was usually time for them to move up to the upper levels.

But once you get to the top, your perspective will change, and you might realize then that the current situation is the best possible outcome after all the maneuvering among the various parties.

Just then, a series of ethereal sounds came from above, followed by the appearance of light and streaks of rainbow light flying over, mainly landing on Chen Chuan.

Upon seeing this, the five people were taken aback, then their expressions turned serious, and they stood up.

They could all see that someone from higher levels wanted to meet them, and Dai Xuming and the others thought it was most likely one of the Pure Faction members.

Chen Chuan was originally a member of the Pure Faction, so this is not surprising. However, this usually happens when a member takes the initiative to communicate with their superiors after becoming an advisor.

But now, the higher-ups have taken the initiative to invite him. No advisor has ever enjoyed such treatment before, not even those from his own faction. Perhaps this is the difference between being promoted by name within the advisory group?
Chen Chuan then sensed something and said, "Advisors, I'll take my leave now."

After he finished speaking, the light merged around his body, and he instantly disappeared from the spot.

The five stood there for a while until the sounds and lights completely disappeared before Dai Xuming spoke, "The matter has been resolved, and you all no longer need to stay."

As he spoke, he nodded to the group and walked out of the council hall. After he came out, Tong Xin suddenly appeared beside him and walked with him.

This is a simulation manifested through the boundary field, but the actual entity is not present here.

Dai Xuming asked casually, "Consultant Tong, what do you think of Consultant Chen?"

Tong Xin said, "It matches my impression: powerful, but also aggressive."

Dai Xuming smiled.

Tong Xin looked at him and said, "Advisor Dai, I can tell that what he said just now was not a joke. He might cause us trouble."

Dai Xuming smiled faintly and said, "The balance within the advisory group is not so easy to break, nor can anyone break it. Even if there were such a person, there are regulations from above."

Tong Xin said, "But it seems that the higher-ups really appreciate Consultant Chen, and their attitude is quite different. I'm a little worried."

"Yes, we need to be more careful."

Dai Xuming's eyes were deep, and he smiled knowingly, "They have their ideas, and we have ours."

Consultant Chen's ability to gain support from above is likely due to his demonstrated capabilities. Times are changing, and a major collision is imminent; he's not the only one with real power.

As they walked deeper into the corridor, a faint glint of light appeared in both of their eyes.
