Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1492 Climbing to the Sky and Building a Platform
For the next three days, Chen Chuan immersed himself in cultivation.

Since its naming, the Purple Qi Alienation Organization has been able to grow continuously, and together with the Outer Appearance, it has been able to draw the energy it needs from the other world.

At this point, he understood without being taught that everyone needs the same amount of energy at the beginning, but the differences become more pronounced as time goes on. This requires practitioners to have the ability to discern and pursue the right path.

Knowing this is not enough; you have to find it yourself.

Now, as he recalled the information he had found about the Heavenly Secrets Sect and the Great Shun, his understanding became even clearer.

Many of the methods of Xuanjiao (a school of Taoism) are actually designed to guide you to find your own uniqueness.

However, this part will not be explicitly stated, because those who can do it don't need to say it, and those who can't do it won't be able to do it even if they say it, and it will only confuse them.

The divine and the extraordinary are systematized from the beginning because of the groundwork and summaries laid by predecessors. Following this path, one can proceed step by step. However, the upper limit that can usually be reached is the upper limit that predecessors or classic texts can reach.

Only a very few people can break through the barriers and become ancestors, like those legendary ancestors. They all had the ability to break away from the original path and find their own way after reaching the upper level.

The threshold for entering the Human Form realm is actually the lowest, requiring little inheritance. Therefore, in the past, most people in the common folk were martial artists with profound knowledge of the Human Form realm. Although there were summaries and inheritances, the system was quite fragmented. It was not until the emergence of the Pure School that it was brought together in one place, refining and summarizing many secrets and inheritances.

However, the higher one goes in the realm of physiognomy, the more emphasis is placed on the individual, and one can only figure it out on their own. But at the same time, because physiognomy is the most suitable path for oneself, once you find it, every step forward is a leap.

Right now, with his mind at ease, he has made a significant breakthrough. His purple aura has grown by a third in just a few days. Of course, this speed is gradually slowing down, but it is still increasing.

However, the main reason for the slowdown is not that the upper limit of the purple energy has been reached, but that the place where he cultivates is still in the outer layer of the world ring. Under this influence, there are restrictions on various external forces, so the type of energy he can absorb is naturally limited.

The only way to change this is to delve deeper into the other side of the world.

Therefore, as long as he still wants to move upwards, he will inevitably have to go to the other side. It is no wonder that those predecessors who cultivated to a certain level all made this choice without prior agreement.

So, once you get back, you can prepare for a more in-depth exploration. There's no need to wait until after the two-month vacation; that would be a waste of time.

He hadn't forgotten that the massive collision was coming soon.

With a sudden thought, he withdrew his outer appearance and was about to return through the rift, but then he sensed something and looked back.

For a fleeting moment, he seemed to sense something watching him, but it was gone in an instant. He had had similar sensations in the past.

He pondered for a moment and concluded that this was probably not directed at him, but rather that the other party was attracted by the torn rift and was likely still outside the World Ring.

After taking one last deep look outside, he turned and walked back into the room through the crack. With a flash of his blade, he closed the crack.

He sheathed the Snow Lord's Blade and placed it aside, then walked out along the long corridor.

At this moment, Kaiyang sent him two notification messages. One of them informed him that there had been a response to the lost item he had previously exchanged and applied for.

His requirement for the lost item was that it didn't need to have overly complex functions; it just needed to be able to shield him from various supernatural forces and secret techniques for a short period of time. Although he already had an external shield to protect him, it was clearly insufficient.

His current hypothetical enemy is facing several or even more beings from beyond the heavens at once. If he wants to fight against multiple enemies simultaneously with his own strength, then such lost objects are indispensable.

I checked the timeframe again, and I should be able to receive it in a couple of days, around the end of the month.

Another notification indicated that a member of the advisory group named Han Yang from the implantation faction wanted to meet with him to discuss some matters.

The implantation faction and the purity faction have always had a good relationship, and they are even more aligned in their stance on promoting Skyline. This person was probably also trying to build a good relationship, so after considering it, he replied, informing the other party that he had time today.

However, the other party seemed to have something urgent to do, as they said they would come to see him immediately shortly after replying.

Upon learning of this, Chen Chuan instructed the residence manager to greet the guests on his behalf.

His team hasn't arrived yet, so he's temporarily using the people assigned to him by the advisory group. Once they arrive, they can be replaced as needed in the future.

When he went outside, he saw rings of atmospheric ripples appear in the sky, and then an airship emerged from them and finally stopped on the anchor tower in front of the mansion.

Soon, a man disembarked from the airship and followed the person in charge who was there to greet him.

Chen Chuan sized him up. The man looked to be in his thirties, wearing glasses that were probably modified, and a white shirt. He appeared refined and scholarly, like a researcher from a research institute.

The members of the implantation faction are all technical experts, and they are best at combining their own combat systems with implantation technology. When used well, they are quite powerful, as he had already witnessed in Mu Xiaoren.

Putting aside other things, having a powerful and active consciousness like Hong Fu to assist in battle would be a huge help. Materials that are extremely difficult for ordinary people to obtain are not particularly difficult for an advisor; at most, it just takes a little longer.

He went up to the other person, shook hands with them, and invited them inside.

After Han Yang sat down, he seemed a little awkward, as if he wasn't used to interacting with people. Chen Chuan had also tried to understand the other advisors, and this man seemed to rarely interact with them. Apart from voting, he usually only exchanged information with people in the border area, and seemed to have a very low profile.

But it is said that he was completely immersed in his own spiritual practice and technical research, and rarely cared about other things. Such a person is usually very pure, but as an advisor, he is qualified to do so.

He took the initiative and said, "Consultant Han, is there something you need from me today?"

Hearing him speak, Han Yang sat up straighter and said, "Advisor Chen, it's like this, I found out that you found several bloodline secret maps when you destroyed the old imperial family. I wonder if you still have these secret maps?"

Chen Chuan reported to his superiors when he obtained those secret maps, but after understanding their value, he did not hand them over.

This is mainly because if he makes any statements before addressing internal problems, it could be seen as aiding the enemy.

Even though he did that, no one questioned him.

Because once he becomes an advisor, theoretically all the spoils he acquires are his own. In reality, even if they aren't, and he's unwilling to hand them over, no one can force him to.

He nodded and said, "Yes, these secret maps are still with me."

Han Yang's eyes lit up, and he said impatiently, "Then, Consultant Chen, I wonder if I could borrow these secret maps to study?"

At this point, he seemed a little embarrassed, as if he had thought of something, and added, "Even one with cracks is fine! Yes, I only need one with cracks!"

Chen Chuan looked at it and said, "Is that where Consultant Han wants to study the technology?"

"Yes."

Han Yang did not deny it, and when he talked about it, he immediately became radiant.

Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I have a question I'd like to ask Consultant Han."

Han Yang said earnestly, "Advisor Chen, please feel free to ask. I will answer what I can, but I can only apologize for what I don't know."

Chen Chuan asked, "Advisor Han seems to be always focused on technical research, so how does he manage to balance his spiritual practice?"

Han Yang was somewhat puzzled, then said, "My research into technology is a form of self-cultivation."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly. It seemed that the other party's situation was the same as his previous judgment. Some of the advanced cultivation techniques of the Implantation Sect were likely combined with his own technology.

This person clearly has the appearance of a god, and in the end, he may pursue a breakthrough in his own spirit.

This breakthrough is likely related to technology. Whenever there is technological progress, which leads to individual progress, the overall progress of society also greatly benefits them, and the two complement each other.

It's no wonder that the implantation faction has relatively few advisors. As one of the five major factions, like the natural faction, not a single member has made it into the group. The natural faction has special circumstances, but the implantation faction is simply because this path is too difficult.

However, it is conceivable that with the development of the skyline, there will be a great boost to technology. Once a technological explosion occurs, it will definitely be a time for implantation to grow stronger.

So, as things stand, they can all be considered the most steadfast supporters of the skyline.

He said, "Advisor Han, I can lend you the secret map for your research, but I want you to promise that you can only use it for your own research, and you cannot lend it out or let others see it without my permission."

Han Yang nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I won't lend it to anyone else, Consultant Chen can rest assured."

He thought for a moment and then said, "Is Consultant Chen trying to build his own active consciousness?"

Chen Chuan said, "That's true, but it's only just started, and it's said to take another two months."

Han Yang quickly said, "Advisor Chen, if you're willing, you can leave this to me. I'm willing to take charge of this work and will definitely use the best technology and materials!"

Chen Chuan looked at him, smiled, and said, "If that's the case, I'd be more than happy to accept it. Everyone knows that Consultant Han is the best implantation technology expert in Da Shun."

"Then I'll leave this to you."

Han Yang was delighted to hear the praise and said enthusiastically, "Leave it to me. I guarantee I'll have the consciousness body built within a month. I will definitely not let Advisor Chen down!"
