Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1495 Mutual Mirroring of Form and Spirit

After his clone left, Chen Chuan remained in the collection room.

After looking at the railing for a while, he walked up and down the circular corridor, then waved and moved the box that had been placed at the back to this place through Kaiyang's domain.

After it was opened, weapons and armor flew out one by one, landed on the fourth floor, and then settled under the light.

He then displayed all the spoils from the previous battle at Tianji Peak, as well as those collected from the old imperial court.

He walked around the corridor again, and everywhere he looked, there were spoils of war that he had personally captured, which brought him a great sense of satisfaction.

I couldn't help but think that it would be best to include all the collections from Jebu Province when I could do so.

After a moment's thought, he took out the prismatic object and the short knife from before and placed them on an empty shelf.

These two weapons are no longer of any use to him, so he simply left them here.

In addition, he plans to choose another weapon that matches his destiny.

In fact, for him now, apart from the Snow Lord Blade, other weapons might not be very useful. But it's better to be prepared, in case they come in handy sometime.

After admiring it quietly for a while, a purple shadow flew in and instantly merged with him.

He learned from his clone that after Cheng Gao delivered the letter, the Throne Fighter readily took it out and asked someone to give it to him.

Just as he had guessed, all the other party wanted was recognition, and they said nothing was more valuable than that.

He raised his hand in front of him, and in his palm was a jade piece the size of a palm.

Without a doubt, this is a secret diagram of heaven and man, but it is polygonal and does not look very regular.

Although there are no cracks on it, the intricate patterns appear chaotic and disorderly, giving people a sense of unease.

If the secret diagrams he had seen before were creations full of artistic beauty, this thing seemed like a toy that a child had casually kneaded.

He didn't know what caused this, and it was unlikely to be due to the different environments of the eastern and western continents, but rather to different origins.

Besides this, he had another conjecture, but it couldn't be confirmed and there was no need to delve into it now.

He put away these secret maps; he could never have too few, and he would collect more when he had the chance.

After glancing at the collection a few more times, he left the collection room and returned to his study to rest for a while, where he poured himself a hot drink and sipped it slowly.

It will take some time for either the administrative department or Huo Zhuifeng to verify the facts.

He wouldn't just wait idly; instead, he planned to search for immortal seeds in the other world. If he encountered any suitable beings there, he could also collect some rare materials along the way.

He has made significant progress in his understanding of human nature these past few days and feels that he now has a certain level of self-protection ability, but he still needs to bring the necessary items.

After finishing his hot drink, he went outside, changed his clothes, and then entered the implant. He grabbed the Snow Lord Blade and asked Kaiyang to prepare a car.

This time, he didn't plan to cut the rift open himself. Instead, he took the proper passage and traveled underground by train to the other side.

It's not even February yet, and the advisors on duty across the street are still the same two as before.

The advisory group now consists of 22 people, including him. During their shifts, some work in pairs while others work alone.

The stipulated duty period is two months, and the appointments are usually rotated sequentially. If a new consultant joins, they will be placed earlier depending on the specific circumstances.

As for actions taken by advisors to go to the other world during their duty period, the advisory group will not count them or interfere with them. However, the advisory group actually encourages such actions.

This is because it is both a confrontation with the other side and a form of tempering, which is conducive to breaking through to the higher levels.

About twenty minutes later, Chen Chuan crossed the forward airspace and arrived at the edge of the World Ring.

He glanced outside. This time, without Xiao Yuanguang to lead the way, he would have to deal with all the troubles and dangers on his own.

He sensed it and immediately found a mixed field. At the moment the two fields merged, they were close together. Then he quickly found the next mixed field.

This time, he planned to go to a deeper area. Because of the daily sweeping by the advisory group members, the area near the World Ring was rarely seen. Only by going deeper could he find what he needed.

He didn't try to leverage connections; even if he had the ability, there was no need to show off.

He will definitely take advantage of the favorable conditions, which is the best path summarized by many predecessors.

Xiao Yuanguang had told him a lot before, but the real situation was definitely more complex and multifaceted, which he could only rely on to gradually accumulate experience to deal with. As the power of the World Ring gradually faded, he began to use his own mental power to frequently probe everything around the airspace.

Meanwhile, in a certain place, Liu Changlin and Fang Yanxing, the two advisors, had just worked together to kill an avatar of the opposing entity when they suddenly felt a powerful spiritual force sweep over them.

Liu Changlin glanced at him and asked, "Is that Consultant Chen?"

Fang Yanxing had met Chen Chuan before, and he replied, "He is Consultant Chen."

Liu Changlin said slowly, "A very pure and powerful spirit."

Chen Chuan also sensed the presence of the two at the same time. After exchanging a mental greeting, he completely broke away from the World Ring and entered the unprotected opposite world.

Just like last time, he instantly sensed the dense presence within his mind.

Xiao Yuanguang taught him some mental discrimination techniques, which allowed him to quickly determine the strength of friend and foe through the instantaneous separation of mental power. He didn't need to pay attention to things at a lower level; he only needed to focus on things at the same level that were attractive to him.

He was very patient, proceeding steadily and deeply. After a long period of feeling, when his mind once again explored outwards, the mutated tissue in his body suddenly became active, which was clearly a reaction that he had found a precious material.

He didn't go looking for it immediately, but instead kept testing it with his mind.
Xiao Yuanguang had warned several times before that they should not be careless here. Although Dongxuan Temple was very powerful, there were many beings here who were even more powerful than them.

The prerequisite for achieving his goal was to first protect himself, so although he was confident in his own strength, he was also very cautious.

At this moment, the thing opposite him seemed to have become interested in him after noticing him, and its spirit kept reaching out, even trying to envelop him with its field.

After Chen Chuan and the spirit opposite him probed each other several times, he ruled out the possibility of fishing one by one and decided that he could try to catch and kill it.

Moreover, even if he was wrong and the other party was indeed fishing, he was not afraid. He carried two tokens that could directly communicate with higher-ups, which he would use as a last resort. He could also use them to see if his perception was correct.

So he stopped suppressing the field and instead released it. In the instant it collided with the field opposite, he saw an object that looked like a long worm.

This thing had no head or tail, curled up in a ball, its entire body seemingly encased in a crystalline mass of water vapor, and it appeared to be enormous.

It can be sensed that this thing is also greatly influenced by the material world, with a greater inclination towards the material. This is inevitable, as the two worlds are getting closer and are undoubtedly influencing each other.

He had Kaiyang quickly compare the information and found that neither Xiao Yuanguang's introduction nor the database provided by the advisory group had ever seen anything similar.

That's not surprising. As Xiao Yuanguang once said, these things can change at any time. Even something that looks like this now might look completely different next time.

Or they may look like the same kind of things, but in reality they are completely different things, and even their spirit may change.

Therefore, you cannot completely trust your past experience. Even if things look the same on the surface, you must adapt to the situation when you come into contact with them and not apply old methods. This actually requires a very high level of combat skills.

The advisors have been fighting against such things day after day, some even for decades, and none of them are lacking in combat experience.

While observing, Chen Chuan suddenly sensed something was wrong. As he focused his attention again, he discovered a scene that looked extremely horrifying.

At this moment, he found himself inside the belly of a colossal being, and the thing he had just seen was an identical being, albeit a smaller one.

It seemed that the moment the fields came into contact, I entered its body.

If his spirit were not pure and strong enough, he would not be aware of his current situation at all, and would only think that his opponent was still the smaller being in front of him, and fight against it. He probably wouldn't even realize it until he was swallowed up by that huge being.

These things are indeed strange and cannot be viewed with common sense.

However, even in this situation, he was not particularly panicked, because he could sense from the other party's spirit that they were on the same level. If this attack method was not detected, it would be fine, but once it was detected, it would mean that the concealment was lost.

He could clearly sense that this immense spiritual entity was enveloping him and constantly infiltrating and assaulting him, seemingly intending to transform his material aspect into a spiritual one, and then completely spiritualize him before merging them into one.

However, once the two fields merge, the other can try to influence him, and he can in turn influence the other. It all comes down to whose origin is stronger.

His gaze was deep and calm. In a flash between his brows, accompanied by a platinum-gold light, an outer form over two hundred meters tall appeared around him.

Its enormous size brought it extraordinary power. Without even using the two major techniques, the influence of its entire body's field forced its original semi-spiritual body to transform into a material form.

In that instant, its body gained even more rich details, sprouting a head, eyes, and even hands and feet.

The next moment, a pair of large hands, flashing with platinum-gold flames, suddenly emerged from his abdomen, grabbed both sides, and tore outwards fiercely!
